We get it, Disney. We get it.
Star Wars is not for women.
Star Wars is not for Black people.
Star Wars is not for Asian people.
Star Wars is not for Queer people.
Star Wars is not for anyone who is marginalized and has different lived experiences.
Nope. Star Wars is ONLY for cishet white men. We hear you loud and clear. We know you don’t care about us at all.
#the acolyte#oshamir#qimir#the stranger#osha aniseya#fuck you disney#fuck you lucasfilm#as someone who is a reylo shipper and a rose tico fan i’ve been disappointed by these a$$holes before#so i’m actually not that surprised by this devastating news#words cannot express how sad i am to see more amazing potential go to waste#having said that i’m still really grateful this show was even made and that at least we darkside girlies won at least once#oshamir is canon ❤️#it’s rare for me to have a canon ship that has a hopeful/happy ending#qimir is the best male star wars character ever and he will continue to live on in my wounded heart#we will keep these characters alive through the love and creativity of fans

imagine, say, Bunnyx went back to Origins Season 1 and pulled Gabriel aside as he was considering picking up the Hawkmoth mantle and showed him, "Look, Gabriel. If you continue on this path, you WILL succeed in getting the Ladybug and Black Cat miraculous. You WILL make a wish. But getting there will tear you apart. You will lose what humanity you have, you will literally rot away from the inside, spend the last months of your life in agonizing pain, Nathalie and Adrien (the only two people in your life you can even pretend to care about) will spit on your name and Nathalie will grow to despise you so much she will attempt to kill you. And your wish? It will NEVER bring Emilie back. You won't even be able to bring yourself to do it, because you'll realize that you've become everything that she hated and never wanted you to be. Emilie WILL STAY DEAD, and in the end, all you will be able to wish for is an end to your now-miserable life. All this gamble will win you is your grave."
idk I just don't think Gabriel's response to that would be "oh yay! I win!"
#honestly I'm a firm believer in Gabriel's win condition being ''Emilie is revived''#if Emilie was revived in any capacity i would agree that he won. no matter what. even if she hated him even if he died#if emilie lives then gabriel wins#because that was his Only Goal#but emilie didn't live. so i dont know how this could be a win for him yknow?#the only 'positive' part of his wish was saving nathalie. but nathalie would never be dying in the first place if it werent for his actions#he won the battle in a sense on a purely technical level but he absolutely lost the war and achieved none of his goals#ml s5 spoilers#ml re-creation#re-creation spoilers#ml recreation#recreation spoilers

Leo being put into a situation where there is absolutely no fighting, just verbal manipulation and perception games, would be amazing to witness. We see a lot in the series how good he is at subterfuge and how he uses his perception to manipulate to great effect, so it’d be so cool to really see it put to the test even more.
Manipulation is one of the most effective tactical strategies of all time, so just imagine Leo putting this skillset of his to the full test. Imagine the boys slowly get up to busting bigger and more powerful criminals, including those with networks of crime under their belt, and a simple fight isn’t enough to take them down. For criminals like this, Leo’s skills in subterfuge would be deadly.
#rottmnt#rise of the teenage mutant ninja turtles#rottmnt leo#rottmnt headcanons#me back to talking about Leo’s incredibly high affinity for subterfuge#genuinely think it’s one of if not his best and most honed skill#AND IT’S A VITAL NINJA SKILL#above fighting battle tactics and the like#it’s verbal blindspots#Sun Tzu’s The Art of War literally states that “the greatest victory is won without battle’’#and idk I think Leo would be so good at this and we see him do it in the show quite a bit but not to the amount I yearn for#but yeah like just think Leo getting sent in and his bros standing guard#of course he wouldn’t be the ONLY one involved but 100% he’d be the main player#man idk I just really really love when their specific skill sets that ARENT the fighting ones are used it’s so interesting to me#like we already know Leo can easily take in a whole room’s worth of people and know exactly how to avoid them all#we know he can manipulate manipulators into his schemes#we know he’s good at improv which is essential to the games of speech high end criminals like to play#it would be SO INTERESTING#OKAY HEAR ME OUT-#he’s asked by Big Mama to join her at a criminal ball of sorts#she needs to regain power and he needs to take down big name criminals#thus a deal#no but really it’s so cool seeing Leo specifically do his best tactics through thinking like his enemy and predicting how they’d act

Thinking about how, at the end of the day, at the fatal moment, the sunset of the Republic, it wasn’t Yoda, or Obi-Wan, or even the Chosen One himself standing in the way of Palpatine. It was Mace Windu.
Mace Windu, the inventor of Vaapad and Master of Form VII, the Jedi's strongest duelist, the only person to ever defeat Palpatine in combat. Mace Windu, Master of the Jedi Council and the youngest Master ever appointed to it, the revered leader of the Order. Mace Windu, who forgave even those who tried to kill him, who risked his life over and over again for his troops, who, after 3 years of desperate war, tried to negotiate with battle droids. Mace Windu, who knew the clones were created by the Sith and chose to trust them, who saw every Shatterpoint in the Republic, and loved it still, and fought for it until his last breath, until he was betrayed by Anakin, who he believed in and trusted despite everything.
Mace Windu, High General and hero of the Republic, the embodiment of the Light, the last and greatest champion of the Order, the best Jedi to ever live.
#I’ve said my piece goodnight#don’t play with me Mace Antis I have receipts for every last one of these#pretty much everyone agrees that he was the best duelist there was and he obviously won the fight#Anakin's choice wouldn't make thematic sense otherwise#also vader did not defeat palpatine in combat sorry he just grabbed him while he was distracted#it literally had to be a fair fight and Anakin had to be the one to choose to create the empire that's what the prequels are about#Star Wars databank calls him ‘revered’ shatterpoint tells us he was the youngest (real) member of the council#Boba Fett (tcw) and Prosset Dibs (comics) tried to kill him and he asked for amnesty and forgave them#literally just watch the Ryloth arc he spends most of his screentime saving his men#in tcw season seven he pleads with the battle droids to surrender hoping that no one else has to die#there's the part near the end of tcw where the council realizes that the clones were created by Dooku but Mace and the rest of the council#trust the clones so much they're willing to ignore it#the scene from Mace's POV in the rots novelization talks about how much he loves the republic and how he was blindsided by Anakin's betraya#because he trusted him!! we see in aotc that he has more faith in Anakin's abilities than Obi-wan#and he defeated the most powerful sith of all time single-handedly#BEST JEDI EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!#sw prequels#star wars prequels#prequel trilogy#sw prequel trilogy#star wars prequel trilogy#sw rots#star wars rots#revenge of the sith#star wars revenge of the sith#galactic republic#pro mace windu#mace windu#pro jedi order#pro jedi

Non-canon instance where Beatrix accidentally falls into another dimension in which Holloway's Comet didn't make it to planet Zona.
#do you. do you understand what is going on here.#he's never met her. he's never fallen for her. he's never had a shred of hope left#it is possible to speculate Fusionsprunt won the war against Bortom and that Hunter never adopted Guto...#DO YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THAT MEANS *shakes you by the shoulders*#logically nobody knew who Beatrix was when she first showed up and no one really gave a damn about her as long as she minded her business#no one to hunt her down FOR ONCE but at the price of not being recognized by her family#This Hunter might be a little bitter than canon one. He hasn't allowed himself to move on from past trauma and it shows#but like. that's him. right? same hat. same golden eyes. same dramatic introductions and everything#yet he doesn't look at Beatrix with warmth but with suspicion. his arms don't immediatelly welcome her into an embrace#he is depicted holding her here but it is so to emphasize his complete lack of recognition. like he is just doing it for convenience#and to Beatrix that's really messed up because Hunter was always there to comfort her when things got bad#he IS there but not really... there. y'know?#i think this whole experience would help Beatrix understand how she really feels for him afterall#fusionsprunt#fusionsprunt hunter#fusionsprunt beatrix

But if you loved me, why'd you leave me?
Rambles in the tags ✌️
#as with many parts of this series#there are sections that worm into my skull and stay forever#doing a little dance and clapping symbols#the time after the war is won and before wwx leaves to rescue the wens is one of them#how do you interact with your siblings#who all stand at the intersection of their new lives#irrevocably changed from the horrors#and pretend you all fit together in the same way#that you arent all a little broken#standing together in the same place you grew up that will never feel the same since the losses you shared#and then look back at that strange time and realize it was the beginning of the end#but it was still sweet enough to enjoy#anyway i love them#maybe i can finish this pmv one day#art#my art#mdzs#mo dao zu shi#wei wuxain#wei ying#jiang wanyin#jiang cheng#jiang yanli#yunmeng bros#yunmeng siblings

I know she's called Elisif the Fair because she's beautiful but it'd be so much more interesting if she's called that because she's very fair and just. She hears everyone out and tries to solve things, and is often much more emotionally perceptive than people give her credit for.
#this is canon. to me#i think this would also play into how Ulfric spares her and her swearing fealty or whatever he makes her say#she knows hes won the war fair. and she is fair.#even if she'll never forgive him.#(nor should she)
