i hesitate to use the term victim blaming in relation to anakin because at the end of the day he's a fake guy whose crimes range from domestic violence to genocide but people's obsession with holding him "accountable" (let me reiterate, fake guy) and emphasizing how much choice he had starts feeling like that! cuz yeah ultimately his actions are his own, the narrative tells you this as much as very annoying fans who love stating the obvious do, but it feels rather insane to me to act like he was making choices under normal circumstances. like, at the end of the day he was being groomed and later on horrifically abused by palpatine and it feels like a lot of people really want to pretend that it’s his fault for not catching onto it as a traumatized child. he didn’t randomly switch loyalties bc he was hungry for power or whatever, his entire sense of reality was very meticulously broken down by a man who has been preying on his vulnerabilities since he was a child! and i just think people should maybe think about that before making arguments that sound dangerously close to “well why didn’t he just leave his abuser”

and suddenly, in the face of everything that he turned into, you’re a kid again. you haven’t been a kid in a very long time. then again, neither has he.

does anyone know the specific trope name for whatever is going on with star wars coruscant guard fics. like, an overworked, incredibly competent collective of middle aged teenage military troopers struggling to survive the horrific banalities of an abusive beaurocratic system. navigating both powerlessness and incredible responsibility. the cultural evolution from their collective brotherhood, the divides that develop among clones from different experiences of the same war. the hostile and oppressive yet deeply domestic, loving and mundane everyday life of indentured soldiers learning to give themselves and each other personhood on the home front of a war that created them just to be militant bodies. a family sitcom built ramshackle from the bones of a greek tragedy. what’s that called

i bring a sort of "the jedi lost the second they went to war using a slave army" vibe to "the jedi wouldve won the war and things would've been perfect if this one dude hadn't fucked it up" posts that jedi discourse bloggers don't really like

“He was so proud of them—and at the same time so afraid...he loved them for themselves. He could list each man’s scars, recite each man’s quirks…Close-helmeted, in full body armor, he knew every one of them by his walk.”

Anakin’s heart couldn’t take any more grief.

The results are just as I suspected……

Tagged by: No one.

Rules: Make a poll with five of your all time favorite ships and then tag five people to do the same (edit: | added 6 heheheh).

Note: Just realized my favorite ships are lowkey goated and I wanted to pit bad bitches against each other for the love of the game. I have so many ships I like so it was kind of hard for me to decide which ones I wanted to add to the poll…. But these six are my hall of fame ships.

See which ship is everyone's favorite.

Edit: Reblogging is fine idc if you do or don’t.

Tagging the oomfs: @mallllii @ringthelivingbell @1singulargrape @wishi-selfships @epickiya722

pro tip you can just grab a bunch of random parts from dumpsters and hardware stores and computer stores and just attach them together haphazardly and then put it in your suitcase and take it to the airport and get arrested pretty much 100% of the time

I hate that the "x reader" or "x Y/N" style of fanfic has become sooooo popular, partially because it's just not for me and partially because they clog general non-fic related tags and those authors seem allergic to the "read more" function on this website, but ALSO because I believe that you should have to go through the trouble of creating an absolutely batshit self-insert character, with a backstory that makes no sense and a name that doesn't really gel with the aesthetics of the universe. Legolas and Aragorn should be in a love triangle with Kylie, the angsty sixteen year old half-human half-elf and inexplicable tenth member of the Fellowship. Do the WORK. If everyone was doing "Y/N" nonsense back in the day, there would be no Ebony Dark'ness Dementia Raven Way, or probably Bella Swan. These are important women. They deserve to be named, confusingly and with no regard for the fictional world they inhabit.
