#THEY WOULDVE BEEN TOO POWERFUL AS A DUO THEY HAD TO BE STOPPED

[elemental-plane]

wish we saw more of madam glask and raj interacting bc a) they're both the only two people who are like part of the newfaire elite and b) i just think it'd be funny

[virtualtoybox]

okay nobody asked however tho i may be cringe i am also FREE so heres the story beats for dark lady au -

-padme survived, tho is handicapped from injuries sustained during her fight with anakin on mustafar. shes in a leadership position in the rebellion, but stays disguised as a handmaiden to the queen of alderaan as a way to protect here identity from the empire. 

-luke and leia are raised basically co-parented by the organas as well as padme and sabe. luke and padme are extremely close while her relationship with leia remains strained and distant... being a mother to her daughter was harder than was to be one to her son. she saw too much of herself in leia, and it scared her, and i think it scared leia too. a ferocity and need to change the world around her but too young to do anything about it. padme wishes she had done more about it. she tries so hard to make up for hte mistakes of her past, creating a better future for her children based on the foundation she failed to build before. 

- its around 12 years old that the children are found out by vader, and leia is singled out just by being on the wrong planet at the wrong time, just because she happened to by the first he found ina vulnerable enough position. he never planned to take leia; it didnt have to be her. 

- middle middle ive been drinking and smoking, ALL NIGHT, so suck it up you dont get the intensive leia sith training meta. maybe tomorrow. 

- ....okay just a lil. so she is fairly easy to manipulate tbqh considering shes so hunger for more and better and any sort of satisfaction that can ease the burning in her gut for just a second. palpatine offers her that in the form of force training- something her mother forbade. 

- so leia very definitely like. feels like being a sith can get her where she wants to be- where palpatine is. doing better than him. 

- a new hope is different in many ways but the one i will talk at length about is Leias assassination of emperor palpatine. vader is tasked with stopping the hotshot pilot trying to destroy the death star and comes back to give his master the bad news only to find a mangled body and his daughter wuth blood on her hands. she wont tell him what exactly happened- but that she does expect a new title. 

- emperor vader and his daughter; the dark lady arfenia (the devoted) are a very intense hand in unlovable hand fucked up power duo who feed off each other in the worst most unhealthy ways - she hates him so much, knows she needs him alive for now, shaking deep in her bones to finally kill him. he loves and would die for her easily, knows its not yet his time so he  is basically a puppet leader for his extremely disturbed daughter. 

-during this time, padme takes luke to ahsoka for force training- desperate for some form of defense against her ex husband ... against her own daughter.

- leia and han end up meeting when han is taken prisoner by vader to try and lure luke ala esb, though things go quite a bit differently to the point of Han being stuck in the cells on Leias ship. she honestly just curious as to who wouldve grabbed her brothers attention to such an extent that she visits han a bit more often than she should. they only know each other for a month. theyre only together once. its enough. 

-jaina and jacen are born 9 months later. theyre both so strong in the force, leia can already sense the power rolling off her children in waves. but one of them, the boy... hes sick. no matter what she does, she cant get him to stop crying a sickly pathetic wail- something that scared her so so bad. she could only think of one person who might be able to help- her brother, a jedi. a healer in the force. 

-she leaves jacen with luke- hiding him away just close enough for her brother to sense and safe enough to wait until he did. she knows the boy will be safe there- maybe even get to know his father. 

-ive type 1k more words than discord will allow me to send about an au no one could possibly care about besides myself and im not even to the main part of the au. might write more later but for now i thnk im gonna go put myself in niche star wars au jail (timeout in the corner)

Another late post but thoughts for episode 4:

Seeing everyone burn the dead was so sad, Sansa putting the Stark symbol on Theon's body made me a little bit happy tho, at least he died a Stark. I also liked the fact that they aknowleged that Lyanna Mormont was important to Jon's story, without her he wouldnt have been king. Jon's speach sounded very kinglike but i still dont think he will get the crown. I am glad they had Arya burn Berric, she might have hated him at one point but he died for her. They done the pairing well for that bit i think.

Jon and Dany were so awkward during the entire feast but i do feel bad for her because she is so isolated from everyone.

I knew Gendry would be legitamised, i suspected that Dany would do it because of allienced so that didnt surprise me. I would like to know what he wouldve said to Arya if he found hed before that happened tho.

Brienne played the drinking game! Honestly i expected Tyrion to ask if she had feelings for Jaime, not if she was a virgin.. But they were so happy and the way they all look at Brienne is pretty much how the entire fandom look at her.

God i love Tormund, he is so funny with Jon and his heartbreak over Brienne killed me. The Hound maybe wasnt the best person to go to tho for a heartfelt talk.

The Hound and Sansas reunion wasnt what i expected, he really is a good guy even if he tries to act mean. I dont like how Sansa says shes thankful for the things that happened to her but i guess she did have a point.

Then there was that scene... Im not surprised she said no but technically she didnt say no to him, just to being a lady. Im so sure that there is still hope for them, he might give up his title for her because i cant see her giving in to being a lady.

Brienne and Jamie finnaly got together!!! They two are so awkward but i love them so much, this seems to be the season for badass women losing their virginity to men they love and i love it.

Gotta admit i was kinda happy when Jon wouldnt sleep with Dany, i really dont like them together. Dany is getting too power-hungry, i get that shes been working for years for this but all she cares about is that throne, there's more important things than that. She always seems to turn sour very quickly when it comes to now getting her way.

The meeting was tense as fuck, and also why doesnt no one listen to Sansa. She seems to be the only person who cares about the people, when Dany came she thought about food for the people and she thought about letting them recover. The fact that Dany is trying to rush them into another battle without time to recover shows how power hungry she is.

Stark family meeting™ was so important, Arya agreeing with Jon and saying they did need her but now is the time to stop following her blindly. Also Bran its not really his choice when you say that out loud, im glad he did tell them because i didnt want him to start keeping secrets from hjs family.

Jaime telling Tyrion about Brienne was unexpected, I never thought Jaime would be seeking his approval. Bronn is back! I partly expected him to join them because he was closer to the boys but that scene shows how scared and desperate he has got.

My favourite duo is back! Im just waiting for The Hound to talk her into going back with Gendry cos hes the only one who can talk sense into her. I missed the two of them travelling together but i also think this scene hinted at the Hounds death. I think he will get injured and Arya will mercy kill him this tims instead of leaving him for dead.

Poor regal trying to be good dragon showing he can still fly, that was pretty cute.

Sansa and Tyrion are having more scenes together and i love it. Im still unsure what will happen between these two but i love how they genuinely trust each other now.

Jon and Tormunds goodbye hurt me so did his and Sam but JON PET THE FUCKING DOG. HE NEARLY DIED FOR YOU AND YOU CANT EVEN GIVE HIM A HUG. FUCK YOU.

Tyrion and Varys talking about Jons real identity. At least theyve realise that Dany is becoming a bit mad. Also im not sure if Tyriom was foreshadowing the ending by saying about maybe Cersei wins and kills them all.

Also Dany didnt see an entire fleet? From the air? Really? Seems like a bit of a plothole... Even if i hate him Eurons plan was still a good one and he managed to kill my poor baby.

Cersei is back! I missed that evil bitch, at least shes using her head by stealing Missandei. I am still unsure about the pregnancy, if its Jaime's or Euron's but i think it will probably be Euron's

I honestly feel bad for Dany cos she is losing everyone she loves but she still is annoying me because she needs everything to go her way.

Tyrion is trying so hard to believe that Dany is good but even he is getting to the stage where he cant deny that she is getting like her dad. Varys is fighting for the people and i respect him for that, i still believe him and Sansa will play Dany.

I refuse to belive that Jaime meant what he said and that he wanted to leave Brienne. I think he did that so she wouldnt follow him, to keep her safe. He was saying all the things he's done for Cersei but not what he's done for Brienne. He's lost his hand, fought a bear and countless other things, for brienne. I hope she realises he was lying.

Tyrion is really trying to see the best in people who are lost causes, first Dany now Cersei. Trying to appeal to her good side would never have worked but the child thing was a good try, she does care for her children.

I still cant believe that Missandei basically said to Dany go ahead and burn everyone. I didnt expect that from her even if she was dying. This is Danys last straw now, she has lost everyone that was important to her and she already felt isolated earlier so now shes just gonna rage.

Im not sure how i feel about that episode as a whole, especially for my ships cos that episode wasnt kind to them. I am looking forward to the last two epiodes.

Things that would happen if Captain Dumbass hadn't returned the time stones, including some things that did happen:

Time Stone- Dr. Stephen Strange would still become a sorcerer, but wouldn't become the Guardian of the Time Stone. In fact, he would have probably doed trying to fight Dorammu(?) And the world wouldve ended as we knew it. There's a shit ton more with this one too, but so far this is what i can think of.

Power Stone- Peter Quill wouldn't have helped stop Ronin(?) With the Guardians. There wouldnt have been a big team up to begin with. Quill would have probably made friends with Rocket and Groot, but there's also a chance that the duo would turn him in for a bounty. Gamora would also still be trying to find a way out of her father's clutches- more than likely ending up in her going to prison, where she wouldve had to fight everyday to stay alive, not to mention she would have to fight Drax as well (i imagine them going to the same prison). Quill wouldnt have met his father either, which means that Ego would definitely end up saving his son to use him of course- in which case Quill would die because would never find out the truth nor have the friends/backup to defeat him. Thanos would inevitably get the stone.

Space Stone- S.H.I.E.L.D wouldn't have become as techologically advanced as they had been by studying the stone. Sure they would still do amazing things, but they wouldn't have all the tech that they had. Also, Thanos wouldn't have sent Loki to Earth in 2012(?), instead it would've delayed him in his findings of the stone- since I imagine him not finding the time stone until way later or not at all, if we tie it into the Time Stone Theory, he'd have to defeat Dorammu (?) And search for the stones all over again, assuming that they wouldn't be flung into space by some sort of chance of fate. Loki also wouldn't have been imprisoned as harshly, but would still be under the control of Thanos.
