#*softly* Don't...

HMMMMM bakugou being just. the absolute picture of sin.

he works overnight and comes home early in the morning, around 3 or 4 am or so, and you greet him and give him a kissy and ask how it all went. and even though it's still dark outside and he's been working for twelve hours—he's still coming off patrol, right ? so he's still got some energy left, and he eats something and takes a shower and winds down as you fall back to sleep.

and it's not until much later in the day that he wakes up, early afternoon, and you're kind of tiptoeing around so that he can get his much-needed rest. you slip into the closet of your bedroom for something and you think you're gonna get in and out without a sound, but his hearing is so attuned to just about anything and everything at this point.

so rough and raspy, he grunts out, "what're y'lookin' for?" and you whip around real fast and he's just—

half sitting up in bed, bare back leaning against the headboard. an arm behind his head, so that his bicep is tense and round and stone-solid. stretched like that, his obliques are more prominent, taut and rippling up the side of his ribcage. he must have gotten hot while passed out, as he usually does, because the comforter is all askew; one of his legs is bent, the fine hair a dark gold in the waning day; the other is hanging off the bed, lightly swinging as he watches you, and the blanket has come down enough that you can see the bulge of his thigh muscles beneath his stupid tiny black boxer briefs.

and he's just so. man. in every single way.

(his hair is flat on one side, too, and his eyes are still a little puffy from sleep—but you think that adds to it, all in all)

What do you think of the Tirra'Taka and how it symbolizes Dooku's fate? Do you invoke it often in your fics?

Ah, the Tirra’Taka! IMO, the cover of Dooku: Jedi Lost REALLY should have been an 80s Blind Guardian style metal album motif with a shirtless, shredded Dooku standing astride the Tirra’Taka, holding unconscious, beautiful Sifo-Dyas aloft, while flames and lightning and cracked groundquake holes consume the foreground. Lene Kostana is a breasty witch with flowing robes vibing in the background while the Truthseeker falls like a stylish comet from the sky. 

God did not grant me the gift to draw, because this artwork would be Too Horny.  

But yeah! Cavan Scott sure did give Dooku a psychic empathic connection with a lightning breathing Serennian dragon, abused and used by the Sith, who he loves and thinks is beautiful and ultimately destroys trying to help, and I’ll never be the same?!?

I mean, the metaphor is so on the nose. Dooku is the Tirra‘Taka. 

I like it because I like Dooku having a weird connection to specifically Serennian history and magic. I like that the planet’s Sith baggage becomes uniquely personal to him, through his relationship with this animal that he doesn’t understand, and of course, his father’s total rejection of him for being Force sensitive. And I love that the most prolific user of Force lightning in the series has a seemingly natural, organic connection to a lightning beast. I imagine the Tirra’Taka whispering dragon lullabies into his Force-sensitive dreams when he’s floating around in the womb.

And let’s not forget that the last thing Dooku does with the Tirra‘Taka is mentally bond himself with her before ultimately losing control and having to kill her. What did that, ah, do to him?? You know, Sifo-Dyas, on seeing Dooku do this, collapses on the ground in hysterical sobbing laughter and is thought by Jenza to have shattered his mind. And he’s just LOOKING at Dooku do this. What happened to Dooku, who was mentally inside the dragon, during that scene? 

As for my fics, I’ve kept it pretty subtle. I have played with the idea (mainly in Milk Run) that Dooku’s seeming extra talent for Force lightning is natural to him, a result of exposure to the Tirra’Taka in utero/infancy or being a Serennian Force sensitive. And that once he realizes this, he can use it for light side applications as well as dark - he can scramble electrical systems, or zap electro-cuffs off himself, or maybe he gets a little overpowered and feral during thunderstorms...

….actually I’m just realizing I missed the perfect opportunity to have him restart Sifo-Dyas’s stupid heart in Rabbit Heart that way, with lightning, instead of doing Space CPR. Damnit! :c

Ringo wrote a song - part one (part two, part three)

While in Auckland, New Zealand, the Beatles talk to Bob Rogers about Ringo's songwriting, 25th June 1964

George: As far as Ringo and I are concerned, we'll leave the songwriting to... Paul: Oh! Excuse me... Ringo: Err, excuse me, Paul is going to sing the one I've written! Paul: Now, I can't… I can't quite remember it… Ringo: Well I'll— Paul: But even so— Ringo: Just for a plug, Paul Paul: We've just… Ringo has written one, called 'Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue'… a beautiful melody Ringo: No— Paul: A sincere thought Ringo: That’s it, yes Paul: 'Don't Pass Me By', it's called Ringo: Don't miss… that's what it's called George: But Elvis killed it Ringo: Elvis killed it… what? Bob: What? George: When he did it Bob: Elvis killed it? Ringo: No, he didn't Paul: No, but you really… this is Ringo's first venture into songwriting John: Are you going to sing it for us now, Ringo? Ringo: I'm not going to sing it, Paul's going to sing it Paul: {singing} Don't pass me by, don't make me cry, don't make me blue, yeah-yeah Ringo: It's got a blues feeling Paul: Blues feeling, you know. {singing} Now, darlin', I know John: I thought it was going to be Crumbly & Western? Ringo: It was going to be a Western— John: Crumbly & West… one of those Ringo: —but Paul gave it the nicest Blues feeling man, and it knocked me out John: It knocked you out, even though you wrote it? Ringo: In fact, I'm going to get a tape of him singing it for me very own Bob: Are the Beatles going to record it? Ringo: I don't know... Paul: You never know Ringo: I don't think so, actually — I keep trying to push it on them every time we make a record John: And we always try and do it, but unluckily, there's never quite enough time to fit Ringo's song on… because he never finishes it. Ringo: Is it finished? Paul: It's finished Ringo: We finished it

Buddie Countdown to Season 7:

81 days.

[thousand-winters]

Happy birthday, Kaido, I hope you get over your stage fright because you would shine on the stage. As it has been proven already.

It would be good for him, he can channel his whimsy and dramatics and creative pursuits in something that would really, really make him thrive. Imagine how much he would love it if he could do it without panicking.
