dooku: jedi lost: part 4: liveblog part 2
this is the scene @charmwasjess was posting about and despite having already read it on her blog it kind of jump scared me. (this whole BOOK kind of jump scared me with the feels.)
YES. YES I DID. OMFG THESE BOYS. DOOKSY IS MY ROMAN EMPIRE (am i doing that right)
THIS IS SO SOFT THEY'RE SO GENTLE WITH EACH OTHER??????? sifo APOLOGIZES??? AND THEN DOOKU APOLOGIZES???? what is this, self awareness in the star wars universe???
this is hitting me unexpectedly hard in the former gifted kid feels? the sense of i-don't-belong because you are a fucking /nerd/ with no social ability? hits me where i live. (yes yes i was somewhat of a not like other girls girl. blech)
also, it feels very in the with dark rendezvous, which i have not actually read yet, but which i have acquired feels for through osmosis. (the "the temple is a tight fit" bit)
I AM SO SOFT FOR THESE IDIOT ASSHOLE BOYS. DOOKU KNOWS HE'S DIFFICULT!!! SIFO LOVES HIM!!!!! THEY ARE MY PRECIOUS BLORBOS
sifo i love you and i love your faith in dooku but actually we need to knock the ego down a few pegs. let's leave it at "strived to be the best". BUT ALSO I LOVE THEM AND I LOVE HOW MUCH THEY LOVE EACH OTHER.
I???? SPEECHLESS. I HAVE NO WORDS. I JUST--
[deep breaths]
WHAT IF I DON'T WANT TO BE SHAPED
this guy is SUCH a rebel idealist and despite his love for rules i 100% don't think he's the kind who wants to be shaped. he wants his own agency.
fuck i don't appreciate how much this is making me relate to dooku HELP.
FEAR NOT SIFO. RAEL AND QUIGS WILL KICK HIS ASS.
ALSO NOOOOOO DON'T SUGGEST RULING THE GALAXY
this scene is SO SOFT AND CUTE and yet there's these undertones that are like,,,, the galaxy is gonna be ruined in the fallout of their friendship,,, I AM FERAL
(tbc)

Still reading The Living Force. I'm actually much farther in now than when I took this pic over the weekend, before I got kicked out of the winery for throwing the book across the room--
No, no, I kid. In fact, there's lots to like about this book. Much of it is warm, funny, and full of Jedi details and lovingly crafted little scenes given to more obscure Council characters. Depa and Mace continue to shine.
I'm still... very much struggling with some aspects, some inconsistencies and contradictions that I can't tell are there on purpose to make a point in the narrative, or just unsuccessful writing. But I'll try to post an actual write up shortly when I'm officially finished.
