Time Travel

Open to Anakin Skywalker Writers-

Luke momentarily dropped the toy plane he was holding as a dark figure seemed to be making his way through the sand on Tatooine. ‘He must be hot’ the ten year old thought though most of this god forsaken planet were. He guessed he should be grateful for he had been on his way to find Old Ben in his hug to tell him about what he had learned about his father. Ben always told him that he was a very good pilot like his father. The people at the market where he bought a few parts to work on had been telling stories about a kid only a year younger than him who had one the pod races. It was anakin skywalker! His dad had won the pod race! There was something so commanding about the way that the man strutted through the air. The sand people feared him and he thought vaguely to the part of him that seemed to pull him towards the man without really knowing who he was or having any reason to not also fear him. But he had saved his life and Luke would have to thank him for that. Besides, he was curious. There weren’t many knew people around here particularly seeming to be so close to kenobi’s place. The heat was still around though their was a slight chill coming from the air around him. There was an almost instinctual knowing of this man. It was the feelings he got when he could almost guess what someone was thinking or feeling. It was like those old stories of the Jedi even if those were fictional. “Your suit is so wizard! Sorry, that wasn’t very mannerly of me especially after you saved my life. I have a friend Ben Kenobi not far from here. He’s super old, but he would give you a place to cool off for a bit particularly when you are saving me. My name is Luke Skywalker. What’s yours?”

Getting classier

(because it shouldn't be about money, but your attitude)

☆ミ Forget about cursing; it's all cool and stuff, but you're not 14 anymore, and you certainly don't need a curse in every sentence

☆ミ Stop buying trash; it's always quality over quantity

☆ミ Therefore: avoid fast food "restaurants" and choose the actual ones; fast fashion? not in this household, try buying some good quality clothes; and of course: cosmetics -- stop buying artificial products made by huge companies and go natural, find some local business that actually cares about the products they produce

☆ミ Do you really need it or did some ad/influencer told you so?

☆ミ Be mindful about things you own, and don't let them own you

☆ミ Same goes for money

☆ミ Treat yourself with the same compassion you treat your friends, no need to drag yourself down

☆ミ Don't be rude or pretentious towards the strangers, it's never worth it

☆ミ Good manners =/= being passive and letting people treat you poorly

☆ミ Seek authenticity and create genuine connections

☆ミ Don't use your phone when it's not necessary: talking with somebody, walking somewhere, eating your meals, using bathroom

☆ミ Keep order in your belongings

☆ミ Take care of your room, it's your living space. Try not to finish your day with an absolute chaos everywhere; if you're exhausted -- even five minutes before bed just tidying up a bit can make the difference

Luke Skywalker was many things, but a good liar was not one of them. His blue eyes lingered on the length of his friend. Things couldn't get worse. Maybe he should knock on a droid or something. Still, the hint of a smile tugged at the ends of the boy's mouth. Comms were a necessity. But sometimes, he felt they got him killed for his friends didn't like his excessive need to play hero. At least, he had a blaster and the lightsaber of the Sith lord who had sired him. A soft world weary sigh leaving his lips. "Like I said. I can totally fix this problem- soon. Are you sure you still want to be debriefed?"

“Uh, everything’s under control. Situation normal.“- Luke to wedge

Wedge frowned down at the comm's speaker like he'd find answers there. "Maybe leave lying to us professionals." He was standing on the top rung of his X-Wing's ladder leaning into the open cockpit to speak into the comm.

From behind the cockpit an astromech bleeted it's expert opinion and he frowned at the droid, then addressed Luke again, "What's actually happening? Fall into a mining shaft somewhere?"

Why do you think the tides have slightly turned from "Elia deserves better than Rhaegar" to shipping her and Rhaegar together? Like what is the psychology behind these people because I've seen some of them like/reblog anti Rhaegar posts while also shipping Rhaegar x Elia at the same time.

hey anon! my thoughts are a bit messy, but i’ve done my best to explain them coherently :)

so, rhaegar was the best man anyone could have when elia was alive, and most people want the best for their favs. he was considered the most handsome, didn’t have a bad personality, and he was crown prince—meaning elia was almost queen, which is often seen as the greatest role a woman can have. the narrative also treats rhaegar as a beautiful, tragic, haunting figure, and elia actually had this very aesthetically pleasing man all to herself at one point! she was married to him, had children with him, and her life was so close to perfect! but rhaegar just had to go and ruin it. 😠

for many elia stans, if rhaegar hadn’t fallen in love with another woman (they want him to have been a completely different character), then everything would’ve been perfect, and elia would’ve had the best, most desirable life. however, that’s not what happened—elia met a very tragic end, and as a result, these stans feel double the bitterness. because of this bitterness, they blame rhaegar for everything (even though it’s not logical to do so), but he’s just too ‘perfect’ to let go of. so, for years these stans have made rhaegar revolve around elia, filling his tag with posts about her out of bitterness. so, i do believe that this obsession with rhaegar x elia has always been there, but i think it’s become a more favorable stance on the elia stan side of the fandom because of a mix of reasons.

plus, rhaegar is one of the few canon relationships we know elia had, since she’s not much of a character. because of this, and the fact that most people don’t like to stray too far from canon, most elia stans are forced to focus on rhaegar, which has created an echo chamber. basically, if a sentiment about elia and rhaegar’s relationship becomes popular, then the whole elia stan side of the fandom will likely regurgitate the sentiment. (also, this desire to stick close to canon is likely why the elia x arthur ship was so popular. while it’s a total crack ship, it had good aesthetics, and since elia and arthur at least knew each other, it allowed the stans to create their perfect fanfiction whilst sticking it to rhaegar. but remember, elia was actually married to rhaegar and had children with him, so while arthur is cool, rhaegar was always ‘top dog,’ meaning arthur would never be able to match up to rhaegar to most elia stans. also, the arthur x elia crack ship is likely her second most popular ship, which just shows how little elia stans have to work with, so they’re always forced to eventually return back to rhaegar for a lot of things.)

however, even if the elia x rhaegar ship gains more popularity, these stans will never stop hating rhaegar because he wasn’t ‘perfect’—and he wasn’t perfect because he didn’t love elia. plus, rhaegar loving another woman and supposedly kidnapping her is what began the war that led to elia’s tragic death. that’s bitterness times 1000. and while i don’t actually blame rhaegar for the war, i do think that this is how an elia stan sees it. i also don’t view rhaegar’s complex relationship with elia as a bad thing—it’s actually a very realistic take on an arranged marriage between two decent people. but most elia stans will never be able to get over the fact that they almost had everything, which is why many have it out for lyanna, as they consider her a thief who ruined their ‘perfection.’

tbh, that might be why so many elia stans are so obsessed with the idea that rhaegar only got with lyanna because of the prophecy—they don’t want to believe that rhaegar actually loved a different woman and not their perfect self insert elia. that’s a bit mean of me… but i don’t know what else one would call the ‘elia’ elia stans have created.

now that i’ve laid all those thoughts out, i’ll try to explain why the tides seem to be turning… i think it may have something to do with the ‘targaryens are all evil and bad’ sentiment losing popularity. i think this shift has occurred due to a mix of factors, such as years of fandom fights and fandom cycles leading to the targs being more liked now than before. it helps that canon doesn’t actually condemn the targs/favors them quite a bit, and the influx of new targ fans from HOTD has also contributed. this combination of reasons seems to have shifted the way the mainstream fandom discusses all the targaryen characters, including rhaegar. so, with this shift, it’s only natural that some elia stans/elia x rhaegar shippers—who’ve always been there—are using this opportunity to push their agenda. while these stans still hate rhaegar and see him as the bad guy, they just can’t let go of him. and as the mainstream fandom moves away from the anti targaryen sentiment, these smaller corners of the fandom, which tend to be echo chambers, are also affected, which has therefore led to a rise in rhaegar x elia shippers and the ‘shifting tide’ that you’ve also noticed.

I owe somethings, but my health has been crazy. Consider this a starter call or plotting call. Also giving me the ability to throw things at you. I have Luke Skywalker, Leia Organa Skywalker Solo, Padme Amidala, and Mara Jade Skywalker. Might be queued, but I will get to you. Oc or otherwise.

Because I am literally never not thinking about weird meta, blurring lines between reality and narrative, and the whole concept of actors becoming their characters, I am now entertaining thoughts of a Shadow of the Vampire-style story wherein a late-2010s-style all-female The Lost Boys remake gets derailed when the lead actress suddenly starts not showing up to shooting because she's sleeping all day...

Luke Skywalker idolized his mother. While the young boy had always wished to be a jedi, his vivid blue orbs couldn't help lingering on anyone with utter reverence in the way that he did his mother. Anakin could be wild. He could be chaos even as he held the moon up for his son. Yet, Senator Padme Amidala Skywalker was what made air flow into his lungs. To the Skywalker boy, her very voice could cause creation and countries to bow their heads the proper way. Her doe orbs like liquid chocolate made a smile bloom in the expanse of his features just as it tentatively did now. Heart shaped face turned slightly sideways like a loth cat in interest. Her force signature surprising him nearly as much as the stiffening. A blossom of guilt burning in his gut like a fire. Red tinging the expanse of his ivory cheeks. Unlike Leia, Luke was very moldable. Leia was stubborn and certain of herself in the places her brother lingered or cared more about others thoughts. They were unusual scars. Not ugly. He was not bothered by anything physical on the people he loved. Part of him even wished for a 'wizard' mechanical arm like his father. Yet, there was something uniquely painful about the marks. As if the person was whole though had not healed. Sunshine. A breath passed the gates of his pink pout. Only slightly did he resist the urge to borrow into her side even with the finery and the new setting. "Mommy," the words were a quiet apology. A lingering of their own and a prayer. Love. He wasn't sure he could aim it through the force in the way his father did. "I'm sorry- I have seen it, but never really focused on it before. I didn't mean to hurt you."

@thestarslinger sent [ TOUCHED ] from Luke

It was an unseasonably warm autumn day in this part of Naboo, so Padmé had broken out one of her summer outfits for this visit into Theed. Queen Kylantha had requested her counsel on a matter of state, and since Anakin was currently off-planet, Luke and Leia were traveling with her into the capital city from their home in the surrounding countryside.

After finding a parking space for the speeder, she had just turned to open the door when she felt small fingertips tracing the length of the bottom three of the Nexu scars that was visible thanks to the two-piece outfit she was wearing. Out of instinct, she stiffened, then turned around to see Luke looking up at her with consternation in his big blue eyes.

Her expression softened, and she reached around him to unbuckle the restraints on his speeder seat. "It's all right, Sunshine. You just startled me," she assured him. "Have you never seen Mommy's scars before?"

WIP: In Hope of Tomorrow / [Redacted Baby Boy]

“Get up.” “You're not here.”, was all he could muster as he tried to ignore her lurking in his peripheral. On most days he welcomed her presence, but not on that one. Not when he couldn't even keep track how long he had been underground anymore. Not when the Herald had taken great pleasure in rubbing that fact in. “It doesn't matter. Get up.”, she moved over to him soundlessly, a determined look on her face, “You promised. You promised you will live. You promised you will make him pay.”
