[ID: Fanart of Star Wars. The first panel shows young Leia Organa sitting close to Bail Organa on a long bench overlooking the mountains of Alderaan. She is looking up at him solemnly as he tells her: "Your birth parents were refugees who tragically died in the Clone Wars before we adopted you."

The second panel shows young Luke Skywalker sitting at the table in the Lars homestead, with Owen Lars sitting next to him. He is telling Luke: "Your dead dad was a drug runner btw." End ID]

i love comparing the fake stories that each twin was told

(commission info // tip jar!)

[fellow-traveller]

A slight rant, I suppose. But it's more frustration than annoyance.

(under the cut because I don't want to spoil someone's day with this discourse)

I'm pretty much active in Twitter/X mainly because of the 1 Day 1 Hol Horse thing, but when I ventured deeper into the JoJo fandom, I realised the anti-proship discourse is just a huge WHY for me.

Like, why does this mess have to exist?

Why does one have the need to not interact with other fans in the same fandom, especially if they also share a similar preference?

Why can't everyone just like what they like, and leave what they don't, without harming actual fans, like sending death threats, trolling, doxxing, rallying hate etc?

To clarify, I've only known about this new definition of anti-proship about this year, when I got active again in the JoJo fandom. And it came to me in the form of being forced into a voting poll without my knowledge, and the fans that voted for or against my account labelled me a proshipper based on "problematic" fanarts from my Japanese friends and moots that I liked and shared.

It was the very first time I learnt what the bastardised definition of a proshipper is to these group of people.

Because during my anime/manga era, some good 20 years ago, proshipping basically means shipping whatever one likes and accepting that others may ship things one dislikes. We had terms like OTPs and NOTPs and BroTPs, and we use them freely to express love and acceptance, while also acknowledge what we prefer and what we don't.

Yes, there will occasionally be fans who will throw a tantrum about what others ship. They were the ones we call antishippers - the most intolerant of fans. They started ship wars, they send death threats, they doxx. They are the unhinged that most likely would kick a baby if given the opportunity.

Proshipper is actually a very positive word, and we love proshippers, because they're very tolerant, they work as middle men in ship wars, and by all things divine, most of them have really great artistic skills. Antishipper, nope, we don't want to be that. We hate that. We despise that.

But somehow the new generation seemed to shift the blame of all things bad on proshippers by changing the definition of it.

Depending on who you ask, proship could be a short to "proactive shipping", "professional shipping" or just "pro shipping" (as in pros and cons). All positive words. Now the new generation who most likely was never thought of how to explore fandoms at a young age, deemed proship as "problematic shipping".

The audacity to simply change the definition is palpable. Especially when I find out the kind of "problematic" things that they try to justify hating on.

Kids. Teens. Young adults. My dears.

Whatever "problematic" things you've seen in a fandom /ship /character now IS NOT NEW. It's not something that just happened to exist in a recent fandom to spite the younger gens. It has been there 20 years ago when I was underaged and older fans were making fanart of their favourites both "problematic" and not. Heck, probably way longer before for them as well.

If only you utilise some reading skills and maybe your library card, you can find the history of anime-manga was filled to the brim with "problematic" topics. It's a way of expression, it's a way of coping, it's a way of criticising certain factors like politics and people. Anime and manga has always been "problematic". That's a hard fact.

Virtue signaling especially if you're from the West is not gonna change that.

Also, I cannot stress it enough that fiction does not equate to reality. At best, it is an imitation of reality, in a form safe for consumption and indulgence that require no harm to real living beings. Once people can differentiate these, trust me, life will be so much easier.

While the definition of proship had seen a pretty twisted change, antiship didn't. They still did the same things, only now, the minors were dragged in.

Despite all, I won't deny there are absolute rotten eggs on both sides. There will definitely be proshippers who are so disturbing it scares even Junji Ito. There will also be antishippers who will do anything to spread more hate in the fandom, making it rather unlivable. And both sides have the capability to influence an attack on each other, or worse, take advantage of gullible, ill-informed fans, especially minors.

But if we stop lumping everyone into "proship dni" and "antis dni" lists, and openly, properly communicate and explore about likes and dislikes and preferences like old times, I'm sure complaints from antis like

"Why is this fanartist who draws / fan who like [insert ship] has to be a proship?"

"I like this fanartist's artwork but they are a proship, so now I can't see their stuff."

"There's not enough fanart of [insert ship/character]."

would be way, way less.

And I always wonder if these antis, who were mostly young teenagers of a sound mind, have a pending curiosity to explore something adult through fictional characters. Hence why, while they despise proshippers and anything not sfw, they still talk about it among themselves and draw lemony drawings, even to a detail I personally wouldn't share so openly. And why they still invade not sfw spaces even with a clear warning.

Because, I get that, I've been there, most likely as early as 12. Exploring sexuality is not wrong at that age, and it's already a correct method to use fiction for it.

But by pushing away people who had been there, who can actually help, is gonna continue making these antis be a hateful, intolerant bunch. And more easily influenced by actual real life predators.

And for the "proshippers", it's also pretty frustrating to see themselves being harrassed, blocked, and talked about behind their back from antis who never thought of maybe, just maybe, getting to know them first. Especially if they are not from the West.

So my advice to these antis and especially the antis who practically had no reason to be an anti, don't confine yourself into a small container and scream why it's too small. Fiction is there for you to explore reality and things that you can and will never do in real life. Exploring it is way better than suppressing yourself, as long as you know your own limits. Preference and discomfort are only evident if you communicate in a proper manner, not by bashing someone without them knowing and shift the blame of the discomfort you caused yourself on them when they had no intention to even present it to you.

We're in the same fandom. Sharing the same love for the same character and ships. I don't see why we should cut it down so meticulously just because one cannot separate fiction to reality.

As a pretty much seasoned anime-manga fan, especially in JoJo (I've been with the fandom since 2001, tbh), keep your mind open. Block and mute are always your friend if things get too overwhelming, but hatred shouldn't be the main motivator. Communication is key. If you want to know more, express your discomfort, discuss on characters / ships / fandoms...always communicate first. Never assume, never stab on the back. You might be surprised how helpful proshippers can be if you're just, for once, be nice.

That's all.

[impandgnomes]

Staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan (pls) (for the ask thing i mean asdfghjkl;)

lmao ty - lemme do this a sec

1: sexuality headcanon

The boy is bi. Don't ask me how I feel it with such certainty, but I feel it. Also not sexuality, but potentially enby and I feel that in my soul.

2: otp

If I were to put him romantically with someone, I guess Kyle? Those two have a bond that is too adorable however you cut it. I've always had a soft spot for close male friendships in stories goofy or serious, it seems (Egg moment? Egg moment...you don't exactly get that in life when you look like a girl lmao)

3: brotp

Besides Kyle, I'm hoping we'll see more of him and Tolkien hanging out fr. Honestly, I think it would be too niche for an episode but like imagine those two getting Kyle into Warhammer. It would be funny.

4: notp

Sorry, but Wendy can do better. Like maybe they could be friends, and I'm never gonna object to art of the two of them but she really shouldn't stay with him lmao. She's 10 but like...surely even she knows the truth here lmao

5: first headcanon that pops into my head

You know what? He's going to be the second character ever that I claim eats peanut butter with a spoon directly from the jar. That headcanon is so specific and pointless that it's funny. The other one with that honor is one I used to RP from another show back when that was airing (and if you ask certain family members is literally me - someone I know might be reading knows who, but I'll leave the rest of you to guess). In Stan's case, I like to think that Shelley is very vocal about how much it pisses her off and wonders why he can't just make a sandwich lmao.

My other bitter headcanon is the feeling that Matt and Trey are going to keep his family on Tegridy for as long as possible because it's funny to them (both in terms of writing and fan reaction), but honestly kinda breaks my heart that he lives so far from the other three little guys right now.

6: favorite line from this character

Another time where I legitimately cannot think of a single line (but instead many), so I'm just going to embed this because honestly everyone kind of slayed in this scene and I guess technically it's an answer:

7: one way in which I relate to this character

I was about to say I'd probably have an easier time listing ways I could relate him to other people in my life - there's a couple of people I could think a lot more than myself for - but then realized there are multiple non-bad-but-just-embarrassing things I would decline to state here lmao. The joys of having a character be one of the "normal" ones, I suppose.

That being said, we're both depressed af and 10 years old was a time and a half for me mentally; so I guess that. Finishing YGO/Assburgers both made me like him as a character more and had me staring into silence for like five minutes contemplating my life on an existential level for many reasons lmao

Also growing up, I was known for liking animals and didn't want any to suffer without cause. In my case, I got super obsessed with the RSPCA and I would get called brave by girls at school at the tender age of 8 for touching worms to rescue them from drowning in pavement puddles. idk why this was considered brave, as I was in no way scared to touch worms. Lately it's been making me think that I'd like to get a pet snail again, or at least go outside a bit more again since I've always regretted feeling like I couldn't after I lost a lot of hope in my life.

8: thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character

I often say he sometimes needs a hug, but sometimes needs someone to absolutely slap him because he can pull some serious dick moves that make me die a little inside. I feel like if someone were to compare me to him, some of the times where I think he deserved someone slapping him would be the reason somehow and I would be offended but understand lmao

9: cinnamon roll or problematic fave?

He's a little problematic, like all of us lmao

Character ask: Christine Daaé (The Phantom of the Opera)

Tagged by anonymous.

Andrew Lloyd Webber musical canon (the original only, not Love Never Dies), because I haven't read the novel.

Favorite thing about them: Her emotional journey and growth, as she starts out as a timid, naïve young girl left vulnerable by her father's death and afraid of yet captivated by her mysterious "Angel of Music," but by the end gains strength, sees the Phantom for who he is, and refuses to let him manipulate her anymore, yet still gives him her compassion, which moves him to set her free. The Phantom might be the title character, but Christine is the real protagonist, and though he might be the most complex character, she's the one with a character arc while he only changes at the very end.

Least favorite thing about them: While she's less helpless and passive than she's often thought to be, I agree with the common complaint that she does little of her own initiative, but spends most of the plot obeying or reacting to others.

Three things I have in common with them:

*I have brown hair. (Yes, I know she's blonde in the original book, but Sarah Brightman's brown curls have become the character's signature look in the musical.)

*I love music.

*I'm close to my father. (Thankfully, mine is still alive.)

Three things I don't have in common with them:

*I"m not a professional opera singer.

*I'm not an orphan.

*I've never been in a love triangle.

Favorite line: The lyrics to "Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"

And from the Final Lair scene:

"This haunted face holds no horror for me now.

It's in your soul that the true distortion lies."

and

"Pitiful creature of darkness,

What kind of life have you known?

God grant me courage to show you

You are not alone."

brOTP: Meg Giry, who is not going to kill her.

OTP: Raoul.

nOTP: The Phantom – sorry, phans.

Random headcanon: She's going to be happily married to Raoul (who won't become an alcoholic or a gambler), any child she has will be his, she'll always remember the Phantom but will never see him again, and she'll eventually die in her 60s of natural causes. In other words, Love Never Dies will never happen.

Unpopular opinion:

(1) She only betrays the Phantom once, after inner conflict about it and arguably with moral justification: when she publicly unmasks him during the Don Juan Triumphant performance. She doesn't betray him earlier by wanting to leave the Paris Opera to escape from him, and she certainly doesn't betray him by choosing Raoul as her romantic partner! It's only the Phantom's unhealthy perspective that views those things as betrayal.

(2) Her complex relationship with the Phantom, with its blend of enthrallment, fear, gratitude, anger, pity, etc., is interesting enough without interpreting her as being in love with him.

Song I associate with them:

"Think of Me"

"Wishing You Were Somehow Here Again"

Booster gold for the character ask!

Favorite thing:

Outside of himself in terms of inter-connectivity, you really can't go wrong with this character. Hes EVERYWHERE, and he's designed to be that way. Everything about his backstory ties him to places and people within the DC universe. In terms of the character himself though, one of my favorite aspects of him is how utterly, disastrously human he is. I've talked about Booster at length in MANY other posts so I'll try to wane poetic here, and just keep it at: he's an underdog who never seems to win, and that makes the small victories that much greater.

Least favorite:

We don't know anything about the time period he comes from, beyond "its a bit like modern day Gotham, but worse somehow." What was growing up there like? What makes it different from our present? How did growing up in that environment affect him? What happened to make superheroes not as well known? ARE WE EVER GONNA TOUCH ON THE WHOLE "NUCLEAR WAR THAT CAUSED WHOLE CENTURIES OF HISTORY TO BE LOST," DAN?!

Favorite line:

[ID: Booster says, "Tonight's your night, you handsome cheetah." He looks at a picture in his yearbook of him in an orange crop top football uniform. His number is 5, and he's wearing a hat with a long feather in it. The text is cut off, but reads, "North Gotham Swashbucklers Class of 2462." /End ID.]

Seriously go read this its wild

There are more iconic lines of course but this one i actively quote jxnfndmf

brOTP:

Ted, Trixie, Fire, Chel (although is it really a brotp if you're related?) I guess you could say Scott as well but imo he's more Ted's friend than boosters.

OTP:

Its Ted, for the same reasons I listed on my blue beetle answer. Them being friends was a complete coincidence and in any other situation wouldn't make a lick of sense, and yet, somehow, it endures.

nOTP:

Harley, Godiva. Seriously what WERE those???

random HC:

"He thinks in Esperanto" was a throw away line but I really like it regardless. Also I think him having no knowledge of ordinary things is hilarious. He can tell you the (mostly) complete history of a landmark, but have absolutely no clue where it's located. Also I think he needs a doppelganger thats just incredibly Canadian because I still don't know if that was a real admission from the n52 days but my WORD is it funny.

unpopular opinion:

I miss mindancer, I think she could be a really good rogue if she was developed right. Also Chel! WHERE IS CHEL!!!!

Song:

Too Much Time On My Hands by Styx. I've got a whole playlist if you're interested, too.

Fav pic:

[ID: the cover of Justice League America #37. Booster is holding a hand out towards the viewer, a surprised look on his face. Fire stands behind him, fearfully clutching his chest. Behind them, Beetle is cowering in Ice's arms. A wall of grey paneling is behind them, with an electronic sign reading "intruder alert." /End ID.]

A friend once said that BG had bimbo lips in this picture and it stuck with me so vividly that not only do I ALSO now think that every time I see this pic, I always make sure when I'm drawing BG to "remember to give him the bimbo lips." Also I'm just really partial to Hughes' art of BG in general.

A Letter from Norman reactions

Tonight I was feeling like reorganizing the notes I took after reading the novel for the first time. Just some random personal reactions I had after reading it; if anything catches your attention and you'd like to know more about a particular event from the novel, please feel free to ask and I'll be happy to help!!!

Under the cut because it's l o n g. That is, if Tumblr allows me to add a "read more", which has never happened before, but I'll keep hoping in it.

• Disclaimer: I'm suing anyone who ever said that the novel is all about NorEmma. I've literally put off reading it because I didn't want to get into something overly romantic while there's??? Nearly nothing about it that is romantic??????? Just a slight mention in that last chapter and that's it???????? Why are y'all like this

Prologue

• I need you all to know that the important letter™ through which Norman informed Emma about his plan starts with him describing the weather. I just think it's a relevant information.

• Ok I'm at freaking page 1 of “A letter from Norman” and. NORMAN IT'S A FREAKING LETTER TO EMMA NOT A SHAKESPEAREAN PLAY THERE'S LITERALLY NO REASON TO BE THIS POETIC

Maybe, I would get it if it was directed to Ray, but to Emma?????

Chapter 1

• Emma in 2038: Let's befriend ghosts

Emma in 2047: let's befriend demons

Seems like a logic consecution to me

• Ok but why has nobody ever mentioned the extremely precious Emma / Gilda moments in the novel???? My heart was completely melting that was the most adorable thing I've ever read??????

• The way Norman is constantly in awe of Ray is so adorable... Baby is so sweet I swear, he deserves the world

Chapter 2

• OK BUT THE SWEET EXCHANGE between Ray and Isabella before him and Emma go out at night?????? Ray is so pure is swear... He's a precious baby who didn't deserve all the shit he went through.

Reporting it in case anyone's curious; for context, Norman is sick, and Emma wants to go out look for a flower that she's read is going to help him feel better. Emma and Ray are convinced that Norman is going to die because babies are just that dramatic, and easily impressionable as well. They're seven here.

“ «Ray, I'm counting on you!»

Isabella pressed an hand on the boy's shoulder, who turned his face to her and diligently nodded, before continuing: «Differently from Emma, I don't think the flower is going to help Norman heal».

«What do you mean?»

«However, it's better than having to sit back and watch without doing anything. I too, like her, want him to heal as soon as possible.»

«Sure, I understand...» ”

NOW that hits so hard. You have to understand, this is after Ray had made the deal with Isabella. He had already started to plan the escape. In this occasion, he was on a very thin line: alone at night with Emma, outside the House, a child who knew the truth. Isabella knew those were the right conditions for him to attempt an escape, so she decided to test his loyalty; one misstep, and their deal - which was fundamental for the escape Ray was planning - would have ended.

But at the same time, Ray needed to go. Because, just like Emma, he just couldn't stand to lose Norman. And to see these three children caring so deeply about each other even at such a young age makes me honestly bawl. This is quite certainly my favorite thing from this series. And Ray deserves the world.

• Ray was so determined to save his two friends, he even considered for a moment, in the woods, to tell Emma the truth about the orphanage. I find it very nice how the novel hinted of all these times Ray almost revealed the truth, it really puts emphasis on how he was trying to find the best moment for the escape- but it also hints to how desperate he was to share this grievous burden he was forced to carry for the longest time.

• “ Ray, you must keep on living, Norman whispered to himself like a prayer. ”

I'm... I'M 🥺🥺🥺🥺🥺

Doesn't help the fact that this bit was literally at the end of pages of Norman praising Ray and how brave he had been for so long.

• “ Nobody in the House would have wanted for Ray to pay with his life to amend the silence of all those years. ”

I love this bit. Nobody between the children ever hated Ray for speechlessly assisting to dozens of his siblings being lead to death, because they all immediately understood how much he was suffering, how powerless he must had felt, and also, even though it only led to him being even more hurt, how deeply he loved them all. It's really nice to realize that no children ever hated Ray- no one besides from himself. His siblings love him unconditionally, and that's precisely what he deserves 🤧🤧💕💕💕

• Norman: *adventures in a detailed description of Ray's features and gestures for no other apparent reason than the fact that he finds him pretty*

Chapter 3

• Ok I know people use to see Ray and Susan's interactions under the light of Ray having a crush on her but honestly? I think they make the cutest brotp. I never knew how much I needed Ray-having-an-older-sister content untill now.

• For real though!! What hits you really hard is to find out, even though he would had never ever showed it, how desperate he was to have somebody care about him, and to be loved. He literally grieves for losing someone that looks after him and is there to check on him in his lowest days- we know it's the thing Isabella never gave him. Man, this boy didn't deserve all the shit that happened to him. Tpn may have become an old known story for me, but Ray's sufferings in his early age will never stop tearing my heart apart.

• Ok, I wasn't ready for all this angst on Ray's part. I mean, I obviously know GF were hard times for him, but I didn't expect for him to take over the pov. Sis, how wrong I was. Now I'm crying.

• Coming to the realization that Ray's initial plan actually was to bring everyone in the escape, but he clearly had to give up on it after having realized it would have been impossible to save them 🥺🥺🥺

(I mean it was not impossible. He believed it was. But it wasn't.)

• Ok but. The last part of the Ner chapter. I really don't want to spoil it for anyone because it really was a beautiful chapter but I really need to say: Emma and Norman. The way it wasn't just Ray always being there for them, protecting them from afar; no matter their blissful ignorance, they have always been there for him too. They never abandoned that lonely boy, and they made it so that he could have a last reason not to give up. A single, dim light of hope in that pitch black, devastating world he was born in. I may or may not be crying my eyes out.

(Btw I had written this before the Ray special chapter came out, and it's kinda funny to look back at it now)

• The thing with the Ner chapter is: you enter in it after reading two chapters of normal, wholesome children's stories. There's a dark undertune in it, but it's very subtle and it doesn't interfere with the happy, cheerful atmosphere of these children facing adventures together with each other. But then the Ner chapter strikes, and the Ray pov arrives, and it's like being beaten with a bat in the stomach several times. Deep down, you had always known it; but you suddenly realize that all these children are going to die. And, even worse, there's one child who knows. There's one child who has to assist to everything powerlessly. There's one child, one freaking-nine-years-old who knows that all his siblings are going to die, and there's nothing he can do. That a single mistake could ruin the chances of making just two of his siblings survive, which is everything he's hanging to right now. One child who only needs to be loved. Well that... That hits hard.

Me expressing my thoughts: girl this form is shit you can't write something that is understandable to save your life can you

• Also can we please appreciate Norman taking so long to get out of the forest as it's a recurrent characterizzation of his character to be desperately willing to live just *French chef kiss*

• I really like how the novel underlined how Norman's choice of sacrificing himself corresponded to a betrayal toward his friends (when you think about it, Emma definitely felt betrayed). It's almost like in his last moments Norman chose to switch roles with Ray, taking on his shoulders the burden of being both the traitor and the sacrifice.

Chapter 4

• Norman: * “ He instinctively closed his eyes and abandoned himself to the sweet memory of that time he understood how deeply loved he was. ” *

Somewhere, Ray: Can't relate

• Emma: Norman, what you want to do when you grow up?

Norman: It's a secret.

Me:

• “ Ray woke up before everyone, as usual. ”

A remarkable detail. You'd think Ray, as a good depressed person as he is, would sleep more than the average. The truth is: he doesn't sleep at all.

• Norman: There's... Another person I like

Me:

• OK NOW WHY did none tell me about the nine (9) lines of Norman / Don interacting it was worth reading the novel solely for that.

• WHY DID NONE TELL ME ABOUT DON ALMOST STRANGLING NORMAN AND MAKING HIM LITERALLY PASS AWAY IT WAS TOTALLY WORTH READING THE NOVEL SOLELY FOR THAT

• Reading about Conny being there hurts a lot but reading about Sadie and Hao brings up a totally different kind of pain. Also who the hell is Cindy?

• Norman: Oh yes, Emma and Ray, my most dear friends, my closest siblings, the reason I wake up in the morning, my only reason to live, the ones I'd entrust my life with,

Also Norman: Dunnot in the last thirteen hours and six minutes they have been acting pretty sus, I'm kinda sure they're betraying me somehow ://

• “ «I agree, but it feels like you've fallen down a rabbit hole. You're restless, you constantly look off...» said the raven haired boy, distorting his mouth in an hardly intelligible grimace and giving his friend a meaningful look.

«Norman, about that mysterious girl...»

«No, you're mistaken! I...»

Norman, filled with frustration, raised up his voice, starting to lose the coolness that was usually characteristic of him.

«But I haven't said anything yet!»

That being said Ray, with slightly mocking doing, turned on his feet and went away, leaving Norman like that. ”

I LOVE THIS BIT SO INEXPLICABLY MUCH I'm always *so* in for Oreo finishing each other sentences / reading each other's thoughts. Here, Norman answered Ray's question before he could even expose it, because he already knew what it would have been. Equally, Ray knew what Norman was going to say even though he cut his answer halfway through.

I love how much on the same page they are, they really... Totally and fully understand each other even without words, and I find it so sweet. Seriously, their dynamic is so wholesome

• Norman's last birthday gift: the thing that matters the most to him: his family's happiness

Emma's reward: the thing that matters the most to her: her family's happiness

Some things hit harder than others.

• I don't know like. When you read the novel after the series has ended, everything hurts so much more, because you know these are all memories Emma has lost forever.

• So you made colorful clothing by "coloring old clothes"? Have fun realizing y'all have celebrated Norman's birthday wearing your dead siblings' clothes

Bonus this epic note I randomly took I completely forgot the context of:

• Isabella is a bitch. I don't give a fuck about your dramatic past woman, leave that boy alone

[ID: Six gifs of Star Wars. The first gif shows Darth Vader telling Wilhuff Tarkin, about Leia Organa: "Her resistance to the mind probe is considerable."

The second gif shows Leia sensing that something is wrong with Luke Skywalker on Hoth.

The third gif shows Leia telling Han Solo in Cloud City: "I don't trust Lando."

The fourth gif shows Leia looking behind herself in Cloud City as she is escorted away by Stormtroopers, seemingly sensing Luke, who is just around the corner.

The fifth gif shows Leia sensing Luke calling out to her.

The sixth gif shows Leia saying: "He wasn't. I could feel it." End ID]

[ID: Fanart of Star Wars. The Alderaan part is in black and white, with the exception of Leia's pink shirt and the blue sky outside the window. Leia and Bail Organa are sitting in a large dining room , eating together. Leia asks: "Papa, have you ever been to a desert planet?" He answers: "Yes, dear, I've been to many. Why the sudden interest?" Leia says: "I had a dream about one last night. It felt so real, but it was nothing like Alderaan. There was no greenery anywhere and it had... two suns?" She has two little question marks above her head. She continues: "And there was a nice boy with hair like the sand." Bail, with a pale orange background behind him, gives a surprised cough. He asks Leia: "This boy, did he seem... alright? Safe?" As Leia answers, we see Luke Skywalker on Tatooine in full colour, the sand a pale orange-brown, wearing his white robes and playing with a red toy ship outside of his home. In the distance, the suns are setting. Leia is saying: "Yes, he seemed very happy. I think we would be friends, if we met." End ID]

sits on the floor and thinks about how the twins' extreme force sensitivity probably connected them before they even knew each other

[ID: Fanart of Star Wars. It shows three scenes of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa hugging. One joyful hug after destroying the Death Star, with Leia in her white dress and buns, and Luke in his orange jumpsuit. One sad hug after Han Solo is captured and Luke's hand cut off, with Leia in her white jumpsuit and double braids, and Luke in his grey jacket and pants with a bruised eye. And one tight happy and relieved hug after the Empire is destroyed, with Leia in her brown dress and her hair loose with some of it in a crown braid, and Luke in his black Jedi outfit. End ID]

[beautifulwillfulldead]

[ID: Fanart of Star Wars. Luke Skywalker, in his black Jedi outfit, and Leia Organa, in her white Hoth outfit and crown braid, are making expressions at each other. Leia lifts a hand and turns around to say to Han Solo: "Luke makes a good point, we should--" Han raises his hands and says, enraged, his panel all red with starbursts all around him: "HE DIDN'T KRIFFING SAY ANYTHING!"

the twins deserve to have telepathic conversations without knowing it. and han deserves financial compensation for having to constantly put up with that
