[michelangelo-sky]

Same chapter, I just needed an excuse for a Mon pic spam ;)

…..Leia wants to storm off, to bang the door in frustration, she almost does, but Mon’s hand on her shoulder stops her in her tracks. The Chancellor’s voice softens, as if they were alone, they may as well be, for her next phrase is clearly for her ears only, and it cuts deeper than Leia ever thought possible:

“Sometimes, Leia, the Republic needs to come first. We take what’s left.”

Mon sounds… weary and so endlessly tired, that Leia’s anger evaporates. Oh, make no mistake, she is mad, but not at Mon. Curse the starts, the Force, the Empire and destiny for driving them all into a corner where they have to make choices like this in the first place. The woman in front of her knows full well the acid, sickening taste of disillusionment and the burden of personal sacrifice - her sister, her daughter, her family, friends, safety, love – all these ghosts are going to haunt her forever… Leia briefly wonders if she is looking at her own future reflection…

Not a Fairy Tale

While Star Wars is not my primary fandom, I see a lot of the same pathology here as I do in my own. And I've seen a lot of defenders of the Jedi having to argue that "Star Wars is a fairy tale! Of course, it has to look at things in a black-and-white way."

Except it's obvious, when you take the full 46 years of story telling, that it's not "black and white." People are being confused by the wardrobes.

The Old Republic which the Sith destroyed was indeed weak and corrupted. The Jedi Order may have been hidebound and it was certainly vulnerable, especially when it was forced into a role it had never foreseen for itself. The New Republic may be overwhelmed and clumsily inept as it tries to undo thirty years of an almost unbelievable violent, cruel and repressive Empire.

These are all true, admitted by the characters, and displayed in all their unpleasant consequences.

But they aren't the Sith. Even if the Jedi "persecuted" the Sith a thousand years ago, I've watched a lot of these stories. I didn't see any Jedi designated "Sith-Hunter General." I didn't see padawans tested by stern-looking proctors looking for suspicious "Sith-like" traits. The only thing I ever saw was a small green teacher suggesting that a young boy might have gone through too much as a slave to be trained to use mystic power as a weapon. (And the teacher was right.)

And when the Sith won, they forged an empire supported by an army of talentless, faceless drones and ran by backstabbing and unimaginative torturers and bureaucrats. It was clear that the Sith did this on purpose, stomping on the spirit of sentient life so no one could supplant them. Because fascism is built on fear.

And the ultimate expression of that fear was the Death Star, built by forced labor in secret and unleashed on an unsuspecting planet out of whim. There was no Jedi or Republican senators forcing Grand Moff Tarkin's hand. They didn't demonstrate its power on a lifeless planetoid to cow the opponents. And when it was destroyed, they built it AGAIN.

So, no I don't think it was a fairy tale.

Because of characters like Lando Calrissian and Luthen Rael, forced to compromise their souls, or characters like Cassian Andor and Leia Organa, willing to die to stop the Empire that warped their actual lives. It's not a fairy tale because of Porkins.

Yeah, you heard me. We laugh at Porkins because he was a fat guy with an ironic name. But you know what? He flew a starfighter shorter than a tractor trailer against a ship the size of a moon. His last words was "No, I'm alright," but he wasn't. He blew up, like billions of other people, murdered by the Sith who argue that they should get what they wanted because they want it bad enough.

So, again, no, I don't think it was a fairy tale.

And my ultimate proof? Because even more four-and-a-half decades later, there are still people arguing that the Sith had a point, that they were forced to do this, and scorning the idea that it's "black-and-white" thinking not to concede that fact.

Star Wars could have made the Good Guys without flaws and the Bad Guys immune to sympathy, but I've never seen any property that does that, not even the Christmas Special. The stories just pick a side. They say "fascism is bad, no matter how satisfying it is to individuals, and democracy, self-discipline and compassion are good no matter how big the screw-ups they make." I agree.

Headcanuary - Day 11

Prompt: wardrobe.

Ailyn Vel

Her wookie braids aren't exactly like Boba's. It's a detail that most of the time goes unnoticed because when you're being chased by a big armored bounty hunter who will bring you in warm or cold, the last thing you worry about is the color or number of their wookie braids. While Boba has three (brown, yellow and white), Ailyn only has two (yellow and white). This is because she never really saw Boba that close, and from her childhood, she only remembered two braids.

Leia Organa

The green dress she wore to her wedding was the same dress her mother got married with. Breha and Bail left it among the things they prepared for Leia to inherit and stored it in another a different planet so that if anything were to happen that made it impossible/unsafe for Leia to return to Alderaan, she could still carry them with her.

Mellichae

Against popular belief, he actually didn't steal the beskar armor that he wears. He bought it– not from a Mandalorian, but hey, that's better than being the one that killed its owner and stole his armor.

Sabé

Sabé stopped wearing dresses after she quit being a handmaiden. Not only because pants are much more practical when you live in Tatooine and your main hobby involved freeing slaves, but also because given how COMPLICATED some of the outfits she had to wear as a decoy were, she's tired of dresses. She'll only wear them for very specific occasions like parties and such and maybe owns two.

biography -

aurelio is the only child of aurelius and brea rogare - his father is the brother of the magister.

he was spoiled something ridiculous by both of his parents - though his father would try to act like this wasn't the case. though, everyone knew. he was also adored by both of his parents.

in fact, aurelio's birth is what led to his parents getting married. though, they quick fell in love with each other.

he immersed in the world of ships and war at an early age. he never had much interest for the war councils he would attend, but because it meant something to his father he would feign interest.

the same could be said for his weapons training, it just never held much of an interest to him but he made an effort for lotho’s sake ! and it turns out, he’s pretty good with a sword. he just doesn’t go out of his way looking for an opportunity to use it.

but the one thing he never had to fake was his love for the world of sailing ! he fucking loves it ! i’m not sure what else to say, this man was born for the open sea !

despite growing up in a sailing focused family - most of aurelio’s life has been spent in lys. he’s traveled to the other free cities and visited a few ports of westeros, but that’s about all. 

he was living his best life in lys when the news of what happened at the wedding reached him. to say he was livid was somewhat of an understatement, but he was held off until ren’s return to lys.

it would be wrong to say he was excited to visit westeros - considering everything that had happened, but he sort of is excited. it’s a whole new world that he gets to explore and that’s pretty cool if you ask him. 

fun facts -

say it with me - this man is a himbo ! H-I-M-B-O. i’m talking no thoughts head empty 90% of the time. 

if westeros had starbucks - he’d be a pumpkin spice latte bitch. i know it in my heart. do with that what you will. 

he absolutely comes off as self-indulgent and i don’t think he sees a problem with that. but he’s not like the worst guy you’ll ever meet. actually, all things considered he’s pretty nice. he doesn’t set out to have negative interactions, unless provoked to the point of having no other option. 

he’s got a taste for the finer things in life. this man is boujee. very much a creature of comfort - he loves his silk sheets and fancy clothes but he also loves spending time outdoors !! especially anywhere involving water !

just like ariel, he’s a collector of pretty much anything he finds cool. money has never really been an issue for him so he has definitely bought a lot of things that’ve caught his interest but also just cool junk he finds. it’s somewhat of a problem.

he’s trained with a sword and honestly pretty damn good at it - but does he carry a sword? absolutely not. it’s heavy, in the way, clashes with his outfits. i could go on but you get the picture. he does keep a knife concealed on his person most of the time. but he dreads using it.

i think it goes without saying that he’s a lover of food. some of his favorites include: lemons, figs, blood oranges, persimmons, pomegranates. he really likes fruits lmao. and of course anything made out of said fruits. he’s also got a fairly large sweet tooth.

this man doesn't know when to shut the fuck up !! i imagine it's gotten him into his fair share of trouble !

wanted connections -

new friendships. he’s relatively new to westeros so he doesn’t know many people ! but he is generally a pretty lady back, friendly dude. he likes to meet new people. 

old friendships. so while aurelio hasn’t spent much time on westeros, he has visited some of the various ports ! i think it would be cool if he met someone during one of these visits. and who knows maybe they kept in touch !

hookups/flings. a man does have needs. he also firmly believes its a good way to get to know someone. he's also just a hoe.

i’m honestly open to any sort of connections/dynamics ! i feel like there are definitely plenty of people who wouldn’t trust him and that could be fun to explore ! because he really doesn’t have any ulterior motives.

shaera's wedding would be the first time he spent any significant time in westeros, though he would return home to lys almost immediately after the wedding ended. only this time it wasn't to stay, he would gather the rogare forces and return to westeros.

it would be wrong to say he was excited to visit westeros - considering everything that had happened, but he sort of is excited. it’s a whole new world that he gets to explore and that’s pretty cool if you ask him.

wanted connections -

AURELIO ROGARE , our LORD of LYS , is currently searching for their first & only real friend in the kingdoms . they should be aged twenty to thirty (give or take a couple of years) with the possible faces of utp . seeing as aurelio is still relatively new to westeros, he hasn't really had the opportunity to form relationships. and when you combine that with his general distrust of everyone, well, he is lacking anything meaningful. with the one exception being your character. the details of how they met and how they mesh are why i'm asking to be contacted but i imagine there was an immediate connection but it still took a bit for aurelio to completely trust them ! again - i'm not trying to dictate a lot about your character i just think there is a lot of potential here ! . ── you ARE required to contact the mun before applying , but if you wish to , you can reach them @qvarrelsome .

new friendships. he’s relatively new to westeros so he doesn’t know many people ! but he is generally a pretty lady back, friendly dude. he likes to meet new people. 

old friendships. so while aurelio hasn’t spent much time on westeros, he has visited some of the various ports ! i think it would be cool if he met someone during one of these visits. and who knows maybe they kept in touch !

hookups/flings. a man does have needs. he also firmly believes its a good way to get to know someone. he's also just a hoe.

with faces like that, this old man didn’t stand a chance

Luke: There was a disturbance in the Force yesterday. Did you feel it, too?

Leia: You mean that child crying for help? I did. You should go rescue him. Did you see the memories he showed, about his dad?

Luke: *blushes* Yeah... I don’t think I can go

Leia: But his dad seems just your type

Luke: That’s exactly why I can’t...

Leia: You’re the Last Jedi, a Force-sensitive child needs you, and you’re obviously having a crush. Time to go!

Luke: Will you at least help me decide what to wear?

Leia: Of course

Dinluke Anastasia AU

I feel like this could go either way with Din being Anastasia or Luke being Anastasia, but the one with Din being the lost prince is being a little harder for me to figure out, so here’s my Dmitri!Din and Anastasia!Luke thoughts

(also this is like... somewhere between actually being set in 1920s Russia for the movie’s aesthetics and a GFFA so... do with that what you will)

The obvious start is Vader’s empire crumbling around him as people rise up

(we can go full animated movie with undead Palpatine pulling the magical strings if yall want, entirely optional)

The palace is in chaos on that night and in the middle of it all, there’s a young palace guard, barely of age himself, who sees these two scared kids who have no idea who their father truly is, and he can’t take it. He grabs them and shoves them down a secret corridor, telling them to run

The kids, Luke and Leia, both barely ten, do as their told and run until they meet with the Organas, trusted family friends, and escape the palace. Somewhere along the way, Luke is lost, hitting his head, and with the mob, they can’t go back and get him

Transition to 20 years later, give or take

Leia is the “grandmama” figure; she barely remembers her brother but the rumor of her twin surviving is her one lifeline to her family even if she has conflicting feelings over surviving and everything because now she’s in a democratic country

So she entertains men who claim to be her long lost twin. None of them are and her disappointment and 

Luke grows up in an orphanage having no idea who he is, just the vaguest notion of a direction (maybe the Organas yelled at him to meet them in Alderan before he hit his head?). 

He is absolutely a romantic though, loving stories about secret princes and adventures to whisk him away from his boring life

Finally he leaves the orphanage to make his own way in his life

Runs into Din, Cara, and Greef probably because he heard he could hire them to take him to Alderan (With what money? Idk, Luke did the same in New Hope so)

Greef was a minor official in the old empire, Cara is disillusioned with the revolution, and Din held a position in the palace, but he doesn’t bring it up a lot. He really doesn’t care about that kind of stuff

Greef and Cara are way better at the whole “con man” routine. Din runs with them because they sometimes need more dedicated muscle for their schemes (maybe Greef&Cara hire him out for a “bounty” thats actually the job if he’s that much not in with the conning)

But the four run into each other and Greef and Cara pull off convincing Luke for their con to get him where he wants to be

And there is much road trip to where Leia lives now, much teaching Luke of the royal family

Din and Luke do not get along at first 

Din thinks this plan is going to fail, look at Luke, he looks nothing like Leia!

(Plus, he does feel a little bad about the masquerading because he was the one who helped the kids escape and he doesnt know what happened to them once he sent them on their way. He probably holds guilt in not going with them)

And Luke snarks because he’s trying to get to know the people who are trying to help him but the quiet guy will not give him an inch

But they slowly fall in love over the course of the trip even if they wont admit it

(Do i hear Din and Luke dancing together because Din has vague memories of standing off to the side for some dances? I think I do)

Arrive at Leia’s, who’s protocol droid informs them Leia’s heart has been broken one too many times and she won’t entertain anyone else, but they wheedle the droid for information on where they can intercept the senator.

Din and Luke manage to sneak their way in and Leia, deciding to entertain these two men gives Luke the standard questionnaire until asking the one question they didnt prepare for:

“How did we escape the palace?”

And Din panics because how could they have forgotten this question!

But Luke gives the right answer and Din’s jaw drops because that means Luke is the prince

But Leia, jaded and broken and lonely Leia, doesn’t believe him and sends them on their way. And Din is angry and tells her that he knows Luke is the prince, that he remembers being the 17 year old guard picking up two 7 year old twins in his arms and running. Leia takes that as just another reason why it was probably information fed to Luke

Later on, Luke and Leia do find each other, alone, and Luke does give her a piece of information that only the two of them could’ve known. I’m thinking Luke being reminded of days playing dress-up based on Leia’s own wardrobe

A party is had and the reward paid, but Din doesn’t accept his share of it

Luke is excited to be reunited with his sister and is ready to reconnect, but immediately the political party lifestyle is not for him

So they exchange ways of communication and Luke runs out to Din, much preferring the free life of adventure promised with him

And Din and Luke meet on the docks and it’s really cute, your honor

First off, sorry for inundating your notifications 😬 Work was painful slow, so I decided today was the day to go through as many of the head cannon asks as I could. Gotta like them all bc a.) they are delightful and make me smile b.) I need to know where I left off😉

Anyway, I was wondering if you have any head cannons for holidays with the Bridgertons? Traditions, remarkable events or presents that became family lore, some first holiday/Christmas Drabble... (Feel free to hold onto this ask until it’s wintertime again haha)

Thank thank you for this lovely au, I had a great day living in it !

Hello! 

I have to admit, I get an odd sort of thrill when I see multiple notifications from the same people in a row! And as Someone that does 90% of my writing sitting on an upturned bucket while I’m supposed to be doing my paperwork? No judgement from me!  Ahhh but you see, it is nearly the wintertime for me again, being in the Southern hemisphere and all. Christmas happens in mid summer for me and it is... rather heinous actually. It somehow always finds a way to be the hottest day of the year, and my very British family practically sweats to death eating a Turkey and all the trimmings before we fight who gets the armchair right in front of the airconditioner before we argue playing a very intense game of Trivial pursuit! 

Okay, enough about me, Anthony + Kate + Holidays+ some baby Bridgertons + one Newton Sheffield-Bridgerton (Hyphenated last name begrudgingly allowed)

Also as a general disclaimer to those of you in the US (this is genuinely how we react to Halloween in Australia, Sorry about us) 

Halloween happens for the very first time about 4 months into Kate’s relationship wth Anthony and honestly, neither of them generally celebrated it. Anthony was begrudgingly buying some sweets on the off chance someone came trick or treating, when he heard his girlfriend coo delightedly to his left. he looked around a little startled only to see, much to his dismay, Kate looking at a rack of tiny costumes. Tiny costumes for dogs. Wouldn’t Newton look so Cute?! Kate cooed slightly holding up a spider costume. Anthony huffed, horrified to imagine having to take a photograph of him with Kate’s pudgy dog wearing some sort of costume. If you dress Newton up for Halloween, I’m afraid I’ll have to reconsider this relationship, Kate. Anthony said lightly, Kate laughed, a tiny smirk appearing on her face as she said, Don’t tempt me, Bridgerton. Before she took his hand and tugged him to the front of the store. And that is how Anthony Bridgerton found himself, three days later, at 6am quietly trying to struggle an overweight corgi into a pumpkin costume covertly in the wardrobe. Hissing Newton you are going on a diet this is ludicrous, Your mother is just- Anthony was cut off by Kate’s bright laughter looking up to see her leaning against the door to his walk in robe, her eyes sparkling with delight, practically glowing in the early morning light. Oh Don’t you look Handsome! She cooed down at Newton who yipped in delight his bum wiggling in a ludicrous dance at the sound of Kate’s voice. Kate reached down, plucking the little green stalk hat from Newton’s head snapping it over Anthony’s own chin. And aren’t you so sweet She sad as Anthony huffed. Kate’s instagram post captioned My two favourite Pumpkins and Greg(Red)Five: comments Dress him as an AT-AT next year! 

Edmund’s first Christmas happens when he’s about seven months old. And perhaps, ridiculously, because they both know he won’t remember it, Anthony and Kate are both very excited. They kind themselves on Christmas morning, Anthony dressed as Santa, Kate as Mrs Clause, Edmund as a tiny Elf, and Newton Yipping away as a (not so) tiny reindeer. How on Earth Did you get Anthony to put that costume on?! Gregory laughs brightly in his own Han Solo Christmas Sweater ( Luce Got it for me he’d said proudly as Kate had eyed Lucy’s matching Leia Organa one ), his  arm wrapped around Lucy who was cooing softly at her Godson, who has laughing happily as she clutched at her hair. Kate looked incredulously at him Greg, He bought them. Every year, Anthony and Kate reenact the picture of their first Christmas with their Son. Miles gets dressed as a snowman when he comes along, Charlotte is a Gingerbread girl, and Mary a Tiny little candy Cane. As the Children grow they grumble but take part in the Christmas day picture anyway. It becomes Kate’s favourite tradition as she watches her husband wrestle their family into their costumes their entire extended family having joined in ages ago. Lucy and Gregory's brood in their popculture costumes, Sophie and Benedict's Children Dressed as a tiny forest of christmas trees and her step mother says It’s funny, Mrs Johnson asked years ago how I could stand to have such an intimidating son in law. But he really is very sweet. Kate can’t keep the bright smile off her face when she says The Sweetest.
