slightly fucked up moment in voy s7 'shattered' where they show adult icheb and naomi working on voyager. YOU'RE STILL HERE??? You genuinely spent up to your mid 30s and maybe beyond on this ship presumably still traveling to the alpha quadrant? Are you operating this ship by yourself? Is this a generation ship? Is everyone dead except for you and the people with the extended lifespans?? Will you get home in 40 years with noone left alive from the original crew with only people who've never even seen 'home'???

Kai being the first human Wyldfyre got really attached to and them being a silly little duo and then her losing him after it's revealed that she's lost a lot of loved ones in the past was DEVASTATING AS HELL wtf 😭😭😭

[ayphyx]

Woe. Scully be upon ye.

I keep seeing people call astrology and fortune-telling in general "bioessentialist," and just now I saw someone call "being born in the US" "winning the genetic lottery".

These things are unrelated to biology and genetics. Eugenicists are fucking up human language again.

One of my favorite activities while watching Revenge of the Sith (to distract myself from the pain, I guess) is finding little moments that had the potential to change everything. Anakin comes so close to turning back and making better choices, so many times. There are many more, but my top three today are:

-Dooku crushes Obi-Wan under a heavy platform and Obi-Wan passes out (??) for a while but then gets up, fights a battle, and seemingly suffers no ill effects whatsoever. What if this were actually treated like a serious spinal injury and not just a convenient way to have Obi-Wan out of the picture so Sidious can convince Anakin to kill Dooku? Obi-Wan is hurt, either temporarily or permanently paralyzed from at least the waist down, and therefore in in the infirmary and obviously in no shape to go to Utapau. Anakin, being obviously concerned about his master, spends all of his meager free time at Obi-Wan's side rather than with Sidious, and harbors no resentment about not going to Utapau (he didn't want to leave Obi-Wan, or Padmé, anyway), and maybe actually manages to take a goddamn nap.

-Speaking of Utapau - on the landing platform, Anakin says he wants to go with Obi-Wan, and that he could be helpful. Obi-Wan agrees that no doubt he would be. What if he actually did it? Obi-Wan's a Master, a General, and a Councillor. I'm sure he has the authority to say, "You know what, you're right, Anakin. Grab your things and let's go." I'm not sure this would be enough to avoid Order 66, but it would keep Anakin out of Sidious' way, and maybe he and Obi-Wan would return to the Temple together, only this time to save the younglings rather than murder them.

-A big part of Sidious' pitch to Anakin is that he and he alone possesses the knowledge to save Padmé (and by extension Anakin and Padmé's unborn child). That's Anakin's whole deal with killing Master Windu - he first tries to argue that Palpatine should stand trial, and it's only after Windu argues against that plan that Anakin takes Palpatine's side. But then immediately after, Palpatine says, and I'm paraphrasing but he basically admits, 'okay so I don't actually know how to save your wife. But uhhh you're really strong in the Force soooo I'm sure together you and I will be able to figure it out."

And Anakin just goes along with this! I realize he doesn't have (or, doesn't think he has, which are two different things) any better options on the table, but it feels very Anakin to me for him to be like, "um, wait a second, my new master. I thought you said you'd tell me how to keep people from dying? Padmé could die tomorrow. We do not have time to sit around in the Sith library and 'figure it out together'. You lied to me!" Anakin hates being lied to. This is an immediately stab-worthy offense.

This of course doesn't address Anakin's raging attachment issues nor his misplaced distrust of the Jedi, but it does prevent the creation of the Empire so all in all I'd take this as a win.

Anyway. I'm deep in the weeds of an entirely different RotS rewrite and don't have time to take on another, much less three, but they're enjoyable scenarios to think about, at least. They don't even need to be endgame Obikin...even if I personally think of them that way :D

New life overruns; the dust of dried tears is cleaned out and tossed into the wind; a table is placed where a friend once stood, day after day, waxing poetic to the beetles lining the windowsill; their conversations smother our glittering memories of whiling the days away in pleasant company, heedless of time, freeing ourselves – for just a moment – from the weight of responsibility to the star. Would that I might claim in me his desires wholly absent, but I dare not be so prideful.

I love seeing the scale go down. Genuinely it’s such a weird way to fix my depression but it works 🤷🏻‍♀️

‼️NO HATE TO CALEB‼️

I would love love to see these two get into a fight. Not over MC, my girl can handle herself. The playful rivalry that gives you second-hand embarrassment 😭😭

Caleb: You should eat more carrots.

Zayne: I don't see why that's necessary.

Caleb: Yeah, that's the point, Zayne! You're practically blind. How many fingers am I holding up? *holds up the middle finger*

Zayne: *Eyebrow twitches as he sips his cup of sugar (cuz my guy would put a whole ass jar of sugar in a tiny ass cup)* Remind me why I'm here?

MC: I don't know, but I'm loving the energy we're bringing onto the table.

girl when close to ready to drop another chapter can you use this as a 24-48 hours warning so I can mentally prepare and re read 🫣🫣🫣🤗🤗🤗

This is everyone's tentative 24-48 hours warning :)

It was supposed to be out today but well minor setbacks happened last night so!

(if it doesn't happen i never posted this)

BSC doodle because his interaction with nutmeg is something I think about too much

[twelve-thousand-pizzas]

And maybe I would draw more if I wasn’t terrified of being found and harassed. Maybe I would post more in general if I wasn’t terrified of being found and harassed. I wouldn’t orphan all of my AO3 works and I wouldn’t post drawings exclusively to Pixiv and Discord servers. Maybe I could be free like the rest of you if you didn’t spook me into hiding.

recently got that new set with rogue and Morro and was also thinking about takes I've seen on them and the concept of destiny. I just think we need to add Nya to this too, together they represent three types of people when faced with it.

Jay wanted his destiny that he saw in the cave so hard it curve balled, but also still came true in the end because wish shenanigans.

Morro wanted to defy destiny, refusing that the path of the green ninja wasn't his to have.

But Nya, she complies with destiny. She knows it's gonna happen, she may like it or not, but she knows nothing can stop it. She complies with destiny on her own terms. She knows she has no other fate but to be the water ninja, so she accepts it, it wasn't easy to but she knows she had to let go of Samuri X, eventually passing it on. She knew that she was going to end up with Jay. Not because destiny told her to but her heart did, she just wanted it to be the right time. Destiny required her to become one with the sea, and she hated the way that cookie crumbled, but she still did it on the terms it saved those she loved.

Unlike the others she is not running away or towards destiny, she lets it come to her. She accepts it, not always with the most open arms, but she does and just goes from there, making the most of it.
