I just binge spent a 50 dollar Amazon gift card and I'm feeling an interesting combination of guilt and HUBRIS

[casualavocados]

Kanan will be proud of you. Yeah? Well, he has a funny way of showing it, considering he's never around.

STAR WARS: REBELS 3.01 • Steps Into Shadow (Part 1)

the quotes and 744 replies are… as to be expected on this one (read: a toxic wasteland) but congrats to rebels for rightfully sweeping the discussingfilm rankings

[ID: A digital illustration of many different characters and symbols from Star Wars Rebels season 2, surrounded and connected by designs from various Lothal cave paintings. 

From left to right, and top to bottom: A small snail from Atollon, peering out from its shell. Next, Ezra Bridger with his arms crossed, rolling his eyes as he says “I’m literally neurodivergent and a minor but ok ://“. A drawing of Ezra’s repainted imperial cadet helmet. Garazeb Orrelios, looking to the side with his teeth bared and his ear flicking up to listen, with an arrow pointing to his ears and saying “ears!!”. Ezra, with his saber ignited, grinning and looking over his shoulder as he runs, yelling “let’s go loth cats” in all caps.

The next section shows Kanan Jarrus and Hera Syndulla kissing, with her hand tipping up his chin, and him blushing with many hearts floating around them. A brown spotted loth cat laying down in a loaf position, with one leg sticking out, captioned “leggy”. Sabine Wren takes her helmet off and scowls harshly, saying “cringe” in all caps. Hera sits in the cockpit of a fighter with a smile, captioned: “[screamo playing over cockpit radio]”.

The next section shows Sabine and Zeb lounging together, with peaceful smiles on their faces as they simultaneously daydream the words “violence murder killing arson biting”. Chopper stands in the center of the entire piece and extends one arm as he says “fuck!”. A Lothal cave painting with a Loth Wolf and a rider, staring to the side. The glowing meteorite stone is visible to the right.

The last section shows the fulcrum symbol glowing gray. Kanan and Ezra mimic the copycat meme from Into The Spider-Verse, with Kanan deep in thought, a hand on his chin, and Ezra watching him with wide eyes, a hand on his own chin. Ahsoka Tano is drawn buffer than her canon appearance, and has her lightsabers ignited as she reaches out her right hand to something unseen, her expression a deep scowl. Sabine, with her helmet on, jumping into the air with a basketball labeled “Ezra” as she dunks it into a net labeled “brother zone”. The piece is dated January 2023, and the artist’s signature is visible under one of the pieces.

The next three images are zoomed in on various sections of the piece. End ID.]

ok the ID for this is already long enough, but I've been rewatching the comfort show of All Time (SWR) and I ended up having so many silly art ideas that I put them all in one piece. I had an INCREDIBLE amount of fun with it, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did making it :D I miss my space family ;~;

Another Star Wars: Rebels appreciation post incoming under the cut.

One thing about Rebels that people who scoff at it don't get is how it builds. The story-of-the-week format of S1 ultimately builds into a galaxy-spanning 6-episode arc that unites the themes of the past 4 seasons and is just so damn intense in the best way. It'd give you whiplash if you switched from S1 to S4. And yet it never devalues the silliness of the first season! The scope of the show takes us with it on a journey of how Rebels are created, how the characters' own perception of a Rebellion is formalised and evolves over time. And yes, that means seeing them embrace the darkness and difficult choices that come with a growing network whose goal far outstrips its resources. And yet, it comes together all the same- cell by cell, we see how the Spectres recruit and bring together people who join the Rebellion. At the end, as Kanan says, all paths come together- the subtle philosophy of the Force no longer remains separate from the battle on the ground. You need to see Ezra's entire growth to fully appreciate the staggering amount of effort that came into those final episodes.

I won't compare it to The Clone Wars, because that show had a certain constraint with respect to its characters and ending that Rebels didn't, but it does maintain a linearity of tone throughout- gathering darkness on a galaxy-wide scale. That is the story it tells, and it suits the format. But Rebels is about the slightest glimmer of hope shining through a darkness that descended over a decade ago, that seemed impenetrable; a glimmer that through its faith and courage slowly grew into a flame from which the phoenix of light could once again rise (yes, the phoenix was deliberate XD). Please give it a chance- besides, S1 literally is as much fun as you'll let it be.

As for it being childish, it honestly isn't. Not even the first few episodes. The theme of compromise, sacrifice, and forced passivity is there throughout. Just because it isn't present in the dialogue, doesn't mean it's absent. The terror of a slow occupation of Lothal, with the casual appropriation of land and evicting of citizens, is in fact a focus right from the start. And later, we have the central question of "what does being a Rebel really mean" becoming a central part of the show, and we get perspectives ranging from Saw's direct, unscrupulous view of it as a war, to Mon Mothma's cautious, conservative approach that wants to secure the long-term victory at the expense of short-term interests- and we see the Spectres, exposed to both of these, realise that neither is good enough on its own. They find their own answer, but it's not shown as the answer. It is simply that they played the role they were given as well as they could, while somehow maintaining their subjective moral compasses.

I don't even know why I made this post, just... please don't hate on this show without watching it. It introduces so many cool and thought-provoking concepts and its characters have so much heart! <3 (Obligatory "Hera Syndulla is the best- even her archrival agrees" addendum here). The different planets we see, from Mandalore to Geonosis, and of course the villains!! Thrawn is one of the most characters ever in SWR, and the wisely limited apprearance of Vader shows him as terrifying and darkly strategic as ever.

Also a major strength of it, for me, is that apart from a few glaring instances, it's avoided the "telling instead of showing" trap. Quite a bit is left for the audience to infer. You can watch it in any mood, honestly, and you'll have fun. Except the last few ones, uhhh you'll see what I mean.

[alphasmoonlit-selfships]

The fate of my self inserts clan is pretty obvious, I won't hide it since it is a big part of her story arcs and is revealed pretty much soon after a mission with the Ghost crew ~ but this little snip of my self insert comforting Sabine after the Purge is self-explanatory 💔 I truly wonder how Sabine dealt with the aftermath, first losing her clan and then having Ahsoka practically leave her (not the abandonment issues again 😭) or have a fallout argument,,, like ahhh 🥲

I pray Dave Filoni gives us more info into Season 2; it's giving whatever anguish and pain Susan Pevensie dealt with after what occurs in The Last Battle*CHOKES*

My self insert dearly loves both Sabine and Ezra; I have a lot of background buildup that plays into Dany and Sabine's relationship to each other and its wild and angsty during SWR ~ But its all goodie 🥺 they develop a beautiful relationship after the fact as shown by the doodles above ;;w;; Just a silly pair of lasses that miss their blueberry 🫐 and now have even more similar losses, one that Dany never wanted Sabine to ever experience... 😔💔

Sabine’s appearance here resembles closely to her appearance in the SWR season 4 epilogue.

Tiny snippet of Alphita writing under read ;;w;; excuse my would be attempt to write for Sabine 💜:

—*—*—

After the Purge of Mandalore and Ahsoka and Sabine go their separate ways.

Dany (along with her mate/partner) immediately goes to check on Sabine, finding her alone and a disheveled mess in the old comms tower she's made her second home on Lothal. The young woman was curled up in a fetal position looking smaller, vulnerable than Dany's ever seen her in.

Sabine sits unresponsive and completely shut down, even as the petite woman knelt before her attempting to coax anything out of her. But even she knew nothing she could say would be enough to comfort the emptiness now in her heart from this painful loss.

In an instant her large Lyca-nortic form appeared, walking around Sabine, until she laid herself behind the young Mandalorian woman. Curling her body to wrap around her like a warm embrace, her fluffy tail wrapping around her like a blanket.

A shaky gasp leaves her before Dany soon felt Sabine collapse her weight onto her side and into the fluff of her mane. A deep rumbling sound leaves her in comfort, listening as her friend practically trembled, clutching her fur tightly as she struggled to keep herself from crying; or perhaps scream and curse in anguish.

“Did…did it hurt… This much for you?” Sabine rasps out after sometime, her hands clutching tightly onto the fluff of her mane, before feeling her grimace slightly. A muffled apology leaves into fur, her hands releasing from their tight hold, flexing her hands between a fist and open palm.

Dany gave a low whine from her mawl, her ears flattening against her head and mane as she thought of the fate that fell on her clan, her family, long ago. The ache in her heart returned in a familiar sting at the reminder of it, especially after recent events. 

Despite the ache of old memories, the large Lyca-nortic wolf shifted her head slightly, curling closer to her dear broken-hearted friend, “Pain… all same..” She rumbled out, her long, fluffy tail curling into Sabine’s lap as the young woman choked a muffled sob.

*emerges from today's game covered in blood* Series win, never a doubt!

Nice to see the team get their hitting mojo back late last night and today after that disaster of an offensive hangover the first two games in Pittsburgh. Across the past two series, the Twins have scored 37 runs, allowed 26, and finished 3-3. Baseball!

Pretty solid turn through the rotation after the guys got knocked around in Houston and New York. Ryan looked great, SWR threw 96+ (!?!?!?), Paddack threw 97+ (feat. velo whisperer Cole Sands), and Louie held his own in the spot start. Bullpen has been solid too, with one uh. notable exception.

Thielbar's comeback was such a great story and he's been a fantastic pitcher for us in this current era, and talking about his season feels like sending a beloved pet to the farm upstate, but man. I think this is it. He just doesn't have it anymore, and these last two days have been absolutely brutal to watch.

The offense really picked him up today though, and almost did so yesterday, which has been a wild swing over the course of the week. Lewis is the franchise, Miranda, Margot, and Santana have all been on a tear lately, even Farmer and Vazquez have put up solid June numbers. Also special shoutout to Correa, who's hitting over .500 since porching one in Yankee Stadium last week, capped off with his first career 5-hit game today! That combined with his characteristic stellar defense (error today notwithstanding) and damn, it's always great to have him on the team. He's playing like he saw that poll from The Athletic and/or the Neal tweet lmao.

Let's go back to the score from today, because. 17-9??? Every Twin in the starting lineup reached at least twice, five had at least three hits, and the team combined for 24 hits, their most since 2017 (team record 28). Ten players had an RBI and the team was 11-for-17 with RISP. The combined score ties last year's Cleveland blowout, a game in which position players pitched five half-innings. Everyone's making football score jokes. And it wasn't even at Coors Field! Absolutely wild times.

(Also the game was under 4 hours with a 37-minute rain delay in the middle, in this house we love the pitch clock.)

Nice long early-summer homestand, with the City Connects on-field debut and the annual Pride Day lined up for this weekend. It's a great time to get out to the ballpark and enjoy some baseball, so let's keep it rolling.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Aww thank you@imdefnotvanessa! What a lovely surprise.

Ummm... I think my top 5 fics are probably:

"For the Man Who is Always Thinking" A short TechPhee fic that I thought turned out pretty good considering my writer's block.

"What If: The Wizard's Last Stand" My only attempt at angst with a happy ending for Douxie's POV from "Unbecoming”, Season 2 Episode 11 of Trollhunters

"Star Wars: Uncharted Stars" My longest chaptered fic (with illustrations) about what happened to Ezra and Thrawn after the SWR finale. It's all about to get debunked with the new Ahsoka show and has already been with some more recent novels, but for when it was written and how easy my brain allowed me to write and consume Star Wars audiobooks, it holds a very special place in my heart for sure!

"Jacen's Birthday" A Rogue One tie in fic centered around the Ghost Crew and the birth of Jacen Syndulla. (Did VERY well on Tumblr and is the reason I got an A03 account.)

"Chiss Don't Kiss" It's an old and cheesy thranto fic, but holds a special place in my heart. I was particularly proud of how the voices turned out.

[intothecocoverse]

The Return Of The Jedi done! Revenge of the Sith is my favourite of the prequels, The Force Awakens is my favourite of the sequels (The Last Jedi has a place in my heart tho, for the way it shows that EVERYONE can be force sensitive) and The Return Of The Jedi is my favourite of the OGs.

One day, when I'll be skilled enough, I'll do the Resistance design but for now, unusual hearts it is.

Tomorrow? The Mandalorian!!! All the live action series from now on will be totally new for me just like all the animated series were*. Let's see if I will be disappointed by the ending of season 3 haha🥲

Coco's Star Wars Marathon, to be continued!

*Star Wars Resistance and Star Wars Visions will be new to me as well, just keeping the chronological order for SWR but for SWV, I might watch it between two live actions!

*bows and sweeps your hand up, kissing it gently* hi friend!!! this is your weekly reminder to do some stretches, eat something if you haven’t in a while, and go drink a glass of water!! also tell me something that made you happy this week! love youu <333

AWWW FRIEND IT'S SO GOOD TO HEAR FROM YOU *hugs you*

I shall have a drink of water right after this! And something that's made me happy this week is having tomorrow off, the fact that I'm getting my new DVD of SWR season two tomorrow, and my mom making peanut butter chocolate chip cookies last night!!

How about you? What's something that made you happy this week?

[starwarsshitt]

Idk why I’m realizing this now but when Palpatine entices Ezra with his parents - his parents are upset. They’re reaching for him as he’s reaching for them but they don’t look happy or inviting. They look worried and sad. Worried that he’ll take up Palpatine’s offer and discard the rebellion for his parents.

It’s only when Ezra says “you’ll always be apart of me” when they look happy and proud. They were conjured up from Palpatine’s conscious or whatever but even in death they’re defiant. Even in death Mira and Ephraim are rebels and they want nothing more than for their son to be too.

[canonskyrissian]

Life Day on the Ghost

It's Life Day and everyone on the Ghost is busy. Ezra needs to finish wrapping up his present for Jacen, but it does not go as planned.

y'know it seems more of a hinderance to not train Ezra how to use a jetpack especially since he'd be super useful with both his lightsaber and force skills if he knew how to fly

so why not bother to train him and just expect him to "pick it up" in the middle of trying to free Sabine's dad, and arguably super important mission?
