The new one, where Wu isn't the one who found them

aaaaaaaa okay okay!

Basically, (as some context) there is a secret organization called the Golden Order who believe they were chosen by the [REDACTED] to protect [REDACTED] from its destruction.

Because of this "destiny" of theirs, they would be willing to do anything and everything it takes to save [REDACTED].

They also believe in the theory that [REDACTED] was created (mostly) with the elements fire, earth, ice, and lightning. Hence the belief that those four elements are theoretically the most powerful weapons against [REDACTED].

So if the Golden Order could harness these elements, they could essentially put a stop to any darkness that threatens their world, and possibly others.

However, when this idea was presented to the [REDACTED] and the children of the [REDACTED] after the events of the [REDACTED], they were entirely against the Order's idea, as the [REDACTED] considered their methods unethical and corrupt.

After that, the Golden Order seemingly disbanded, and the [REDACTED] never gave them a second thought.

Unbeknownst to them, the Golden Order hadn't gone anywhere, and had started researching the [REDACTED]'s lineage, and what made one more susceptible to inheriting the trait for [REDACTED] abilities.

As I said, the Golden Order were willing to do anything and everything to save [REDACTED], and believing that the [REDACTED] were pompous idiots who didn't understand destiny for what it truly was, they went forward with their plans, deciding to instead work with the next generation.

This led to the abductions of four young children, [REDACTED], [REDACTED], [REDACTED],and [REDACTED].

Why these four?

They were the next line of [REDACTED] for Earth, Ice, Lightning, and Fire.

Of course, their [REDACTED] tried to find [REDACTED].

They were taken out before they could cause any problems for the Order's cause.

The children's entire identities were changed, replacing their names with C1-E, Z2-I, J3-L, and K4-F.

The easiest way to describe what these four endure thanks to the Golden Order is hell, with constant experimentation and rigorous testing.

They only have one another, seeing each other as family, as brothers even, down in this darkness they were forced to survive in.

And yeah, that's basically it!

REBELS REWATCH

S1E1 — SPARK OF THE REBELLION; PART 1

We first meet 14-year-old Ezra in his watchtower, which is old and rusted, looking like it’s seen better days. He looks bored, until a Star Destroyer looms large overhead. He takes his speeder into town.

Ezra steals a comlink from an Imperial not even 3 minutes into the episode; which in hindsight is like poetry since in the last episode of Ahsoka that is exactly what he does.

He steals some fruit from a vendor and escapes up a building with relative ease. This is before he discovers he even has abilities.

He smirks at his mischief, having caused confusion for the Imperials. At this point in time, he’s still a little snarky, looking out for himself, since he’s all he’s got.

Ezra hears a faint humming and thinks it’s weird. That’s never happened before. He’s alerted to a single unmoving figure standing at a street junction. The figure, Kanan Jarrus, feels something shift in the Force, and surreptitiously calls for backup — we meet Zeb and Sabine for the first time.

From above, Ezra watches the scene unfold. “Interesting,” he says. The lone figure has friends after all. The first thing Sabine does is casually walk towards an Imperial speeder bike and toss a detonator charge, which explodes, causing the intended ensuing chaos.

Not one to shirk the rush of adrenaline (“I like the sound of that”, he says), Ezra jumps into action and chases down the crates the Imperials are after, fully aware that the trio he had just been watching are doing the same thing. He jumps off a building and onto a bike with crates, and steals it from right under Zeb and Kanan’s noses. They give chase. Giving a cocky salute, Ezra speeds away. He doesn’t think of the immediate consequences of his actions. If it looks fun and he thinks he has a chance to get something out of it, he heads right to it.

Sabine has made her way to the rooftop, and scopes out the kid coming down the alleyway she’s overlooking. She dives down onto the transport, and is partially impressed (but clearly not pleased) that he’s momentarily bested the trio. Ezra looks backward at to see who landed on his transport, but continues to speed away. For some reason, Sabine shoots a link between two crates, enabling Ezra to escape. She offers a heads-up: “If the big guy catches you, he’ll end you! Good luck!”

Ezra continues on his way, wondering who these people are. They clearly seem to dislike Imperials, like he does. Kanan also wonders who the kid is. They reach the highway out of town, and Kanan matches Ezra’s speed. “Today is not your day,” Kanan tells the teenager, and gets “Day’s not over” in return. Ezra collects the crates, and rides off. Kanan is slightly impressed by Ezra’s thievery skills and ease in getting away, and after a few minutes, offers Ezra an escape ride.

Ezra presses a button on the crate, and sends it into the air toward the transport ship waiting for him. From Kanan’s point of view, it looks like Ezra has made an impossible jump only done by individuals with a specific skill set.

First thing Ezra does after seeing what’s inside the crate is gawk and starts a rivalry between him and Zeb. Not off to a great start, but a start nonetheless.

Zeb and Ezra continue to tussle in the main hold, and Zeb tosses him into a room. Ezra, being a smartass, finds a vent and goes into it… and falls out of it into one of the ship’s gunner’s chairs.

Not even a few moments later, Sabine yanks him out of the seat, displeased by this turn of events. What is this kid doing here, when we’ve got Imperials to shake off? He’d better not get in my way. She takes off her helmet, and Ezra gets his first look at the person under the helmet. He seems to like what he’s looking at, but she has no time for this. There’s bad guys to blast. Despite this, Ezra’s very first flirting attempt goes sideways immediately. “My name’s Ezra. What’s yours?” Unfortunately for him, Zeb comes into the room and introduces himself.

The crew makes the jump to hyperspace, and for what is likely the very first time in his life, Ezra is further away from home than he’s ever been. After some time, the ship drops out of hyperspace, and Ezra is brought to Hera, the ship’s pilot. He says he wants to go home, but Kanan comes back to the cockpit and says that’s not an option.

They land on a planet somewhere, and unload. Ezra is told to do his share of the work he’s found himself in, so he does. He, Sabine, and Zeb head into the village, and gets told that the villagers are effectively refugees of sorts, living in a town named after the man who gave them the boot from their own land.

It’s daybreak, and while Ezra join Zeb and Sabine in the village square, they help to distribute food, but he observes the situation around him. The crew who took him in are doing this for reasons far beyond themselves. He gets thanked by a villager, but mutters, “I didn’t do anything.” Shame creeps in, and with it, a bit of humility.

He walks off, and makes it back to the ship. He sits just outside its entrance, looking over the village. He hears the weird humming noise again, and explores the ship, hoping to find whatever it is that is making the noise. The caption states, “HUMMING INTENSIFIES” as he walks through the hallway.

He stops at a door, and stretches out his hand, almost as if this room is calling to him. He uses one of his tools to open the locked doors, and walks in, closing the doors behind him. The humming continues. He uneasily sits on an empty bunk bed, opens a drawer, and takes out what we know to be a holocron. Ezra has no idea what this is yet. He stashes it away in his bag, thinking nothing of it, but then discovers a lightsaber. In awe, he ignites it.

Kanan comes into the room, and chastises him for snooping. Dejected, Ezra walks away, and makes his way to the main area of the ship.

He makes no notice of Sabine until she asks, “Not too good at following directions, are you?” He awkwardly rubs the back of his neck. “Not so much. You?” She replies that she’s a bit of a rebel herself too. Hoping to make up for earlier, Ezra wonders who this crew is, what they are doing in a very broad manner. Sabine tells him they’re “a crew. A team. In some ways, a family.” At that last word, Ezra looks away. He wonders about his own family, and asks Sabine what happened to hers. Begrudgingly, she says, “The Empire.” It explains a lot, and also parallels how in the Ahsoka series, he also asks about her family. The same response also applies, but the answer comes from a different character.

Though he didn’t ask, Sabine offers him a proper introduction and tells Ezra her name. He grins and reaches out, but Chopper stops him. Hilariously, the caption states, “BEEPING DISAPPROVINGLY”.

Hera takes him to the pilot’s hold. Ezra admits, “You know, this whole “mission” thing is nuts. I’m not against sticking it to the Empire, but there’s no way I’d stick my neck out this far. Who does that?” Hera replies, saying, “We do.” It’s only fitting since that is EXACTLY what Ezra does at the end of Season 4, bringing this full circle.

Hera’s ship gets boarded, and Ezra states ominously, “Something’s coming.” Right on cue, an Imperial Star Destroyer drops out of hyperspace. Hera tells Ezra, “You need to board the transport and warn” the rest of her crew. Ezra asks her why doesn’t she do it instead, so she tells him that she’s needs to be able escape at moment’s notice. However, Ezra flat out refuses. Whether it’s out of fear or something else, we don’t yet know. He states, “Why would I risk my life for a bunch of strangers?” Hera puts him in his place and says, “Because Kanan risked his life for you.” (Which is what he will end up doing 2-3 seasons from now.) “If all you do is fight for your own life, then your life is worth nothing. They need you, Ezra. They need you right now.”

WOMEN LOVE ME FISH FEAR ME

[neinofthem]

girl who loves critical role voice omg i missed critical role so much. is this a surprise to anyone.

[drifloonz]

reader is in a otome game and it has like a gacha system in there and glitchy just pulls for reader every time their banner comes up IMAGINE THE ANGER THAT GLITCHY RED FELT WHEN HE DIDNT GET READER IN A LIMITED TIME EVENT IN THEIR GAME💀 (sorry my english is shit🙂)

no your english was actually perfectly fine thumbz up! also LMAO

i feel like glitchy would have the WORST luck at gachas ( opposite to me, whos sorta stupidly lucky in gacha games ) he'd like.. eventually hate gacha games bc he never gets what he wants. i also think he'd tryhard them a lot. he's the type of dude to make optimal / competitive heavy builds in games that have that sorta system to the point where it like lessens his enjoyment of the game bc hes so hyperfocused on being optimal or whatever.

alternatively, he's just playing like the rhythm gacha games. i dont know if he'd suck ass at rhythm games or be surprisingly good at them. not like it matters, his hands touching the phone prob make it lag or glitch tf out. im so sorry glitchy <3 one day they will make a phone that you do not fuck with simply by existing <3

i hope he gets a 5-star limited-time event reader one day... keep your chin up, king. you'll get that 5 star drop someday...

TAL AND LAURA TRADING NOTES?? ABOUT WHAT?

[niconiconwo]

Tone generators are neat bc I can give myself a half-ass hearing test. I can hear out of both up to 11.5KHz but after that it kinda wavers around so my ears have different hearing troughs at the high end but around 16KHz I hear nothing at all. I can hear down to about 35Hz perceptively but it's very hard.

Also I induced a little tinnitus so maybe don't do this.

[chaos-coming]

Supposed to move out of my apartment tomorrow but im only like half packed and am out of spoons for the day.

Ive been getting a handle on my fatigue (more caffeine, more exercise, taking vitamin b, and i switched to a 1 week t cycle which has really helped) but im also getting a handle on respecting my limits so i dont get over-drained trying to keep up the momentum and have to spend days recovering.

I guess i will do the rest tomorrow and move most of my stuff on friday morning, the problem is my cousin cant give me the key until 9pm when he gets home from work. So i think the majority of actually miving my stuff will have to be on friday.

Not that i have so much stuff, it stresses me out when i cant carry everything in a few suitcases and backpacks. But im seriously considering calling a taxi so i dont have to make 3+ trips on the public transit for 45 min each way (its like 20 min by car and would take maybe 1 trip)
