Why do you even like Plo?

This is like asking me why I breathe, nonnie <": But let me try and answer this as sensible as possible ♥

Plo Koon is 385-years old

Imagine the sheer amount of knowledge in that squishy, cute head of his and you decide that of all the questions you could ask, you decided to go with whether he'd still love you if you were a worm. (1) Plo would either give you the laziest, most resigned 'Yes, dear' and go back to his naps ♥ or ... (2) Plo would exasperatedly sigh over the fact that you test his resolve in this silly, little, questions and give you the same resounding, 'No, I will not" and you will crack at it for the 128391231923th time.

There is nothing he probably can't do or know a thing or two about. Bet you my left lung that man can knit like a god.

There will always be a fine line between days of keeping himself (1) fit — which means I need to buckle tf up before I combust seeing this old man fuck someone up and be cool-dad about it <": (2) Lazy Days with Plo is my jam ♥ <-

Plo is discreet sassy. I'd go over this but I will need a year.

Plo Koon is Old Money.

If you don't know what that is, babe. Let me tell you when I say you're missing out. if you have been following me or have seen all my shit posts and tags on the Plo Koon / Kel Dor / Dorin tags, old man knees are fabulous — let me tell you why. (1) In a modern setting/au, he will enjoy short or maybe long walks that are not stressful. Will he walk under the blazing heat because the day looks great? No, neither would you bestie so sit tf down ♥ (2) Everything is made for comfort. Fuck the vow of poverty because when when you be rocking like a proper Balenciaga Sugar Daddy while traversing the Underworld, you best believe Daddy Plo be loaded AF. We're talking the Egyptian Cotton Sheets,

Plo Koon is one you would not want to shut up. Ever. At all. Like. Babe. If you ever shush this man. I will hunt you down, huntie ♥

'Ts my favorite thing in the world ♥

Plo Koon has wholesome sassy chaotic gae friends.

Plo Koon just too pure for this world ♥

Now please watch that last gif on loop and tell me that that does not make you feel things because babe, if it doesn't... Idk man. You need to get them eyes checked ♥

But in all seriousness, my love for Plo Koon is because we don't always get wholesome characters that live long and it makes you wonder what life would have been like if he did.

I'm always fascinated by age apart from it being so damn sexy.

You hear talks about clones and their strife on how hard it is being the remaining survivor and I don't want to invalidate that. Not at all. But imagine having to relieve that through centuries. Imagine how someone like Plo, who has so much appreciation for life and everything both having spent at least a few years of his life at Dorin and him returning to become a Baran Do Sage, only to constantly practice the lack of attachment?

I'm not saying that's bad or conflicting, but imagine all the things he had to repress to fulfill his purpose both as a Sage and a Jedi. And he's smart, super damn smart. Someone who's smart with a guarded heart is a lie. His heart isn't guarded, he hurts. But he he has to swallow that because he has a role to fulfill.

I could go on so much about why I find him so interesting but I'm stuck in a bad vibe rn and all I can say is I love him so much because I want him to rest? Like hello?

Let that man take his goddamn afternoon nap and teas? And for someone so loved as a wholesome character, he's slept on and frankly, I don't like that.

Plus, I bet you Kel Dors got big dicks, so there's also that. ktnxbye.

I knowww it's a pain, but I've updated and separated my guidelines into categories to hopefully make them simpler to read, and it would be neat-o keen if you'd give them a peep. Or, if you're lazy like me, I've included the updates beneath the cut. I'll update my pinned a little later since I need to run rn.

You don't have to, but booping the ♥ to let me know you've read them is nice.

Updated stance on callouts because I've decided I'm just too tired to engage with anything and way too much stuff can be faked, so. Just. Don't involve me, please.

This blog is strictly anti-callout / cancel culture. In almost twenty years of being online, I have not seen a single callout post that wasn't later proved false or something that should have been handled between people in private. I will block anyone who partakes in callout posts. This is not personal, but it is a hard rule that I have kept for a long time to preserve my comfort and enjoyment on Tumblr. If you feel you should warn me about someone who you genuinely believe is an actual danger to myself or others*, then please do so privately and I will make a decision for myself about blocking them. I have no interest in getting involved actively or passively beyond that. *I do not consider fictional content a reason for warning. That doesn’t mean I won’t block people over fictional things I don’t want to see or personally find distasteful should I happen across them, but that is a decision I want to make for myself.

2. Potential trigger warnings list updated to include...

Substance abuse, suicide, suicidal ideation, and self-harm.

3. Additional notes about my portrayal of BJ.

Please also be aware that I interpret BJ as gay and genderqueer. This is a headcanon pulled from the novels, not the films. He does not have the safety nor terminology to explore his sexuality, but while he most regularly refers to himself as he/him, he is perfectly comfortable with she/her and would likely identify asgenderfluid had he grown up in a modern decade.This headcanon may change later once I'm able to more thoroughly explore BJ's character as sometimes I suspect BJ might actually just be a trans girl who isn't all that fussed about pronouns. We'll see what he tells me as he develops in future threads. Related to above, BJ may use homophobic or transphobic terms common in the '70s and '80s (ie - puff or transsexual to describe someone who is gay or trans). This is obviously not meant negatively, but I understand if that makes you uncomfortable. I will always tag these things #slur for ts, and if you prefer that I avoid this sort of language in our threads together, please let me know.

4. Clarification about shipping or perceived attempts to ship.

*Due to BJ's tumultuous and often skewed idea of love and kindness, BJ may confuse his own gratitude and feelings of safety around male muses with romantic feelings. Please do not take this as me trying to force a ship between our muses. You are 100% welcome to write your muse turning him down; BJ might be hurt, but I won't be. Again, as with anything else, if this makes you uncomfortable, let me know in advance.

That's all!

Get to Know Me meme

Thank you @athenasparrow for the tag!!! :)

Last song: Taylor Swift Eras tour spoilers (if I have someone who wants to avoid those following me!)

...

Um, possibly Karma by Taylor Swift since that was the last song she sang in her concert and I spent a /lot/ (too much) of yesterday finding clips from the said concert. Also currently have this is me trying open in a tab but haven’t listened to it yet. 

Last Show: (referring to my previous answer) Watching a concert online doesn’t count, right? In that case, I think it was Diandra’s (a Finnish singer) concert in November. Yeah, I don’t really get to go to these often bc I live in the middle of nowhere :d

Currently watching: I watch very few TV shows these days (aside from certain anime but I’m not gonna list them here) but I currently have a tinykittens (a Canadian cat rescue organisation) livestream open and I take a peek at it every once in a while. Those Bramble kittens are super cute ♥ (I would absolutely love it if I happened to have a fellow TinyVillager following me! So if you do, pls come talk to me!)

Currently reading: While my TBR list is ever growing, I have to be honest, I haven’t really been reading published books for several months now. Blame the Jily fics. They are way better :P But if I have to mention one, I’ve been reading this book by the Finnish translator of Harry Potter (Jaana Kapari) where she tells about her translating process and it’s honestly pretty interesting, makes me wish I was a translator too.

(As for the Jily fics, do not ask me how many fic tabs I have currently open. I literally just visited the Jily tag here and was like :--------O ‘Oh wow, a lot of authors seem to have decided to post stuff last night’)

Current obsession: my poor friend @criis55 who has to listen to my ramblings every day would be able to testify for this: currently it’s Taylor Swift. I wanna talk about what my relationship with her music is because I’m not a long time Swiftie unlike so many of the people I’ve seen here are. I first started paying attention to some of her songs maaaaybe around the time I started writing Caleo fics so ~ 2020 (obviously I knew some of her hit songs before that but I couldn’t call myself a fan) but a year later she released Red (TV), incl. All Too Well 10 minute version and that was probably when I started thinking, hey, this song is wonderful, I should give a chance to her other songs too. Since then I’ve been slowly getting more familiar with her other albums (it’s been a longish process bc she has a /lot/ of songs and as a non native English speaker I need to be able to see the lyrics to know what’s really going on in the song) and found more songs that I enjoy. This very week is an important milestone to me when it comes to me being her fan because she just released 4 new songs/new versions of her old songs and started her tour and I get to follow it from the beginning and as a relatively new fan I find all that really exciting. Hence you may also see me talking about this more here on tumblr as well. 

Well, other than TS, Jily ofc remains high on my current obsessions list ♥

Tagging: @criis55 if you happen to want to do this, no pressure ♥

1. Westeros is a feudal monarchy, not a dictatorship where all the power is only held by one person (albeit the Targs are indeed holding the Westerosi hostage with their nuclear weapons, but I digress) so no the King cannot do whatever the fuck he wants. Else he’ll be yeeted off the IT and out of KL. Like (Jaehaerys tried with) Maegor. Like Rhaenyra. Like Aerys.

2. And I ask you.... again.... if that was the case, why does Rhaenyra not just say that and be done with it instead of trying to kill everyone that says they’re Harwin Strong’s sons? Why did Aegon IV not just easily name Daemon heir over Daeron if it was that easy? I’ll tell you why: because that is not how the law works and because your excuse is not true, it is just an excuse for you to absolve your faux feminist girlboss from her crimes.

3. Viserys “choosing” Rhaenyra to be heir matters fuck all within the First Men-Andal law and the iron precedent of the GC 101. Aegon is the rightful heir, by all means. I’m going to assume you have read F&B so I won’t need to explain to you in baby steps why that is so, right?

4. “Furthermore, Rhaenrya will birth Daemon 2 more children which will only push Alicent’s children further down the line and this children are what they consider to be TRUE TARGARYENS Aegon III and Viserys II are more Targaryen than Alicent’s children.” Reminds me of this post lmfao. And no Rhaenyra having more sons by Daemon does not push Viserys’ trueborn sons further down the line of succession, because by First Men-Andal laws & GC 101 Viserys’ trueborn sons come first.

5. I’m not even going to read the rest like... you don’t need to recite F&B to me I’m a book purist already in the first place. You should have read the comments on this post and spared me this low IQ reply then you would have understood why you’re barking up the wrong tree.

6. If your takeaway from the Dance is that “Rhaenyra wins and Alicent loses bc Aegon III is on the throne in the end!” then I fear for not only your IQ but also the future of media literacy 💔

"Rhaenyra's bastards' father doesn't matter because their claim goes through her line"

ok if that's so then why did she not just say this in-universe to justify herself and shut everyone up instead of killing/torturing/maiming everyone that brought up the Strong rumors?

HEADBAND-GUY

@dethberri

❛ …You look lost.  ❜ A rather obvious statement as he looked at the boy with orange hair. A sore thumb — eye-catching to say the least. Was this young man looking for trouble or was it the exact opposite ? Well, Minato has seen some weird hair color in his time — his wife’s for example, but he wouldn’t call hers weird. It was beautiful to him, however, to others — that wasn’t going to even be mentioned. Acknowledging his monotonous mistake he waved his hands this way and that with a nervous grin.  ❛ Sorry, sorry ! I don’t mean to sound rude. You just look new around here is all that I meant… ❜ he was also new to the father life. There was  A L O T  to get used to now.

               𝚃𝙷𝙴 𝙾𝙽𝙻𝚈 𝙻𝙾𝙶𝙸𝙲𝙰𝙻 𝙴𝚇𝙿𝙻𝙰𝙽𝙰𝚃𝙸𝙾𝙽 𝚆𝙰𝚂 𝙷𝙸𝚂 𝙵𝙰𝙲𝙴.   that must have been why the stranger apologized.  karin always said that if he didn’t get rid of his permanent scowl or learn to school his features into a more neutral looking expression—what had she called it again?  ‘resting bitch face’?—then he may as well kiss his future success goodbye.  no kid would ever want to visit such a scary-looking doctor, even if there were nurses with plenty of lollipops to give.  except, kurosaki ichigo still believed in what he’d told his little sister:  it’s all about how you present yourself, and, of course, that was also barring the litany of curses that followed soon after, bursting from under his breath when karin just laughed at him.

❝no—no, you weren’t rude!❞  the young shinigami shook his head, flustered and annoyed at himself despite knowing his fierce expressions weren’t always intentional, just a side effect from the constant bullshit-situations life threw at him.  for example, the one he was in now.  ❝i am lost.  i've been lost for hours and nothing about this place resembles my hometown...❞  kurosaki sent a surveying sweep around the area, spotted a stream in the distance, which was new and a good sign, but aside from this man and that stream, the scenery was about the same.  stepping up to the sky hadn’t been of any help, either.  that eerie gray fog encompassing the distance gave him the creeps.

how many hours had he spent walking through this forest?  not to mention, how the hell had he ended up here?  ichigo remembered little beyond warming up for his weekly spar with grimmjow in urahara’s basement.  there was the red light of a cero blooming in his periphery, a move ichigo knew the dickhead pulled when he felt cornered and needed a quick distraction, then — nothing.  ...damn it.  stupid cero.  stupid grimmjow.  stupid creepy forest he couldn’t escape.  the only bright side was headband-man and his bright blond hair...

hoping he wouldn’t end up betraying the genuine unease having festered in his chest, kurosaki cupped the back of his neck, appearing a bit sheepish, then bowed in both greeting and in apology.   he wasn’t a punk kid anymore, that’s for sure.   ❝sorry.  i’m honestly relieved to finally see another human being.  i — ❞            ichigo’s heart stumbled in his chest as he stared down at the black fabric of his hakama shifting in the cool breeze.

                                 oh.  that’s right.  he wasn’t in his body.

instinct commanded his hands to the grips of his swords first, once a precaution now turned habit after the wars, the measuring of reiatsu a close second            ichigo leapt back on the instant, sending dirt and gravel flying up in his haste to widen the distance between them.  bewilderment and curiosity claimed his expression for a few precious seconds before he blurted the question,  ❝who are you?❞   probably wasn’t the most polite way to ask for someone’s name, but kurosaki could hardly think past what he perceived.

this forest—this world… it felt odd.  disconnected from all that ichigo knew, but not completely alien, either.  headband-man?  even weirder.  he widened his stance, wondering just what the hell he chanced upon this time, because whoever this guy was...  he was immensely powerful.
