Yeah those fuckers, thank you 👍🏻👍🏻

I think relevant lore about me is that I never had a teddy bear or other plushies that kids tend to have. Teddy Bears terrified me. I couldn't deal with their pitch-black soulless eyes. No, instead I had a caterpillar plushie with the head of a human baby doll that would glow when you pressed its belly. I couldn't sleep without that thing. I kept destroying them by accident and my parents kept getting new ones but no one else I talked to remembers them so I have no fucking idea where they got them from. We called it the bible doll. No one in my family has been religious for at least 4 generations.

the worst part about ocd and ocd-like tendencies is that you think hyper-analyzing your thoughts and constantly psychoanalyzing yourself will fix you but that's actually part of the disorder. it's the disorder. disordering.

Just a little bit of paranoia

Are we to assume, then, that throwing someone out the airlock is the Star Wars pirate version of making them walk the plank?

fanfic where jod is left in prison in at attin and the children go to visit him wanting answers about him and other things in the galaxy because they are children and they are CURIOUS and they know that he can't hurt them, so Jod answers and talks to them because he really doesn't have a lot to lose and perhaps deep down he appreciates the visits. Obviously Wim is the one who goes first and most often because i think he is the one who is most convinced that Jod can change and be good (and wants to know what happen to the jedi), i feel that the one who would join later would be KB, then Neel and it would take time for Fern to go. It ends up evolving to sometimes children showing up just because they want to hide from school, parents, bullies, etc. It's just an idea

shoutout star wars skeleton crew for creating the most middle school characters i have ever seen. like yeah those losers are some random prep school 12 year olds who don't know anything and all think they're right in pretty much any given situation. there's half a braincell and it's kb's but fern and wim pretend it's theirs and neel just does not want it anymore. they have an obvious, self appointed friend group leader (fern) but someone (wim) is always trying to contest that. they swing between petty drama and "i would die for you no questions asked" within seconds. in their minds there's no way in hell the adult knows anything but they still trust him. it brings me so much joy thank everything they are all just so Private School Twelve Year Old it makes it all so much better

yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic

i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all

time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'

and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't

was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?

there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest

but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.

we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.

and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.

it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

u survive literally every single event in your life & still every time a new event happens you feel like this is the event that will kill you and that you will never move on from but actually you will continue to survive like you always have bc u have a 100% win rate of surviving events. btw

Clone Wars playing the imperial march every time Anakin is mildly inconvenienced will never not make me laugh.

One thing they don't tell you when you discover you're ace is that you will never stop learning new things about sexuality that you just literally didn't know worked like that for most people. I'm 24 now. It was only 4 years ago that I learned that sexual attraction for allo people usually includes being attracted to strangers on the street and that that's not something some of them just... chose to think about. I learned last year that most people see french kissing as inherently sexual. My (ace) boyfriend recently described to me what a libido feels like and I realized I have literally never experienced that in my life like what do you mean you build up a nagging feeling of sexual desire in the back of your head that's just always a little present once it builds up even when nothing specifically triggers it, that sounds so annoying
