I don't usually watch trailers for things more than a couple times. But I've lost count of how many times I've watched the two for Ahsoka. There is only one other trailer I repeatedly watch and it's the one for seaon 4 of Rebels. It gives me chills every time, just like the Ahsoka trailer does.

currently obsessed with the idea of everyone viewing percy as a forced to never be messed with. for the sea is unpredictable and does not like to be restrained and all that jazz. except, frank and hazel. who only see him as just a little guy. a soldier left to his own devices out on the streets with nothing to comfort him but a panda pillow pet and a lingering memory of a girl he loves. he's just a little guy you guys.

“I was in Monmouth battle and many others and received a wound in my face from a ball, the scar of which is still visible.” – Robert Green, veteran

Robert Green gave this testimony at the age of 65 when applying for a federal pension for his service.

The origins of the New Squidbeak Splatoon are so fucking funny when you stop to imagine it.

I’m just picturing Callie and Marie’s respective parents being like “It’s so nice of Craig to watch the kids for the weekend so we get a little break, he’s such a good grandfather :)”

Meanwhile, Cuttlefish is like “Listen up my darling girls, Grandpa is gonna teach you how to kill a man today.”

Eddie, shoving his phone in Steve’s face: Stevie, baby. Would you still love me if I shaved my head?

Steve:

Eddie:

Steve:

Eddie: Steve?

Steve: I’m thinking about it

Eddie:

Steve: Okay

Steve: I would still love you but I would not be happy with your decisions.

I love Chiyo- and I kind of headcanon her as a Witch of the Woods (Sands???) archetype- a bitter old woman who has sacrificed too much, experienced and committed more atrocities than anyone can imagine, and who knows the truth about what lies in the hearts of men to live among the villages anymore.

In my AU she's got a pretty dark backstory. Back in time when Villages were just getting established, women weren't allowed to be shinobi in the same capacity as men. There was too much warring and death among the clans to risk women, so they were only ever allowed to serve as spies or medics. (Chiyo started off as a medic).

And like any military/fascist dictatorship, serving the state was more important than anything else- so women who were kunoichi were given missions to steal and return with powerful bloodlines. Even before villages, this was a common fear among clans (which is why so many of them have protective measures and inbreed/arrange matches very carefully).

Chiyo was one such woman, who took a X-rated mission in her youth because she was told it would 'serve her nation'. There was a powerful bloodline whose Kekkei Genkai could harden sand to something akin to Steel- something Suna very desperately wanted.

Chiyo succeeded in her mission, but despite the veneer of 'serving your nation', when she returned, she was considered, in her words, "Just another whore."

Then when her son didn't manifest the bloodline- it was worse, but Chiyo was happy because that meant her son was HERS. (This is when she met Enji, and he saved her son's life at great cost- so Chiyo owes him a blood/life debt.)

Then the war came, and they needed women to fight so now serving the nation meant something different, and Chiyo became a full fledged 'shinobi' and turned her healing towards poison and death- especially when she had to fight the Salamander.

Then she sealed Gaara and that was the atrocity straw that broke the camel's back and she dipped out Suna and retired to an oasis. She's still a healer, but adamantly refuses to serve shinobi.

Once again, thank you so much for these asks and all the support for this AU?

how come we never talk about wv’s canonical nightmares… this grandpa is having war flashbacks while davekaters treat him like a small animal

alicent is a “childbride at 15” and suddenly her growth is stunted forever and she can’t be held accountable for her actions but luke was “nearly a man” when he died at 13 so therefore he deserved to die and has to answer for the “sin” of taking his uncles eye out? mkay.

It drives me to the edge of insanity that people seem to think that John’s only motivation for becoming a hunter was revenge.

That man was absolutely fucking terrified, for himself, for his sons, for everyone on earth, revenge can’t compare to how much fear drove him.
