#ezra answers things

[kawaiikoala34]

Hey there, the sick cat post (localtreeeternity) is a scam. The blog was created Aug. 12 and posted the fundraiser using stolen information within 3 hours of creation. This is a very common scam on tumblr documented on Kyra45 and Kyra45-but-animals

Donation scams on Tumblr are usually:

- A few days old or possibly a few months. They have a few posts to seem legitimate, but always scroll down and see if you can get to the bottom. Post time stamps can be enabled in settings to reveal how old a post is.

- Request that users send money through Friends and Family (this prevents refunds and fraud protection)

- Reblog most posts from the source/op (they just go through common tags and don’t genuinely follow anyone)

- Have comments disabled, and/or reblogs or comments are hidden as they are hiding callouts

- Will send users asks requesting that they support their fundraiser (obviously not everyone is a scam, but I have NEVER seen a spam asker who looked legitimate)

Welp. I lost 6 bucks bc I did not know/realize people would make scams like this ;~; (Maybe I should have but I can't do anything about it now so, *shrugs*)

Thank you so so so much for telling me! I'll delete the post now.

Kanan, who became an Inquisitor out of necessity to survive but has not yet lost his conscience, and Ezra, who has been strictly raised as an apprentice of the Inquisitor since his infancy.Kanan felt sorry for Ezra, who had grown up in a harsh environment, and thought that one day he would take him with him out of this hell.However, it is not easy to help him out when he is so immersed in the ideology of the empire.Kanan frequently clashes with Ezra, but searches for a way to save him.

showing up several days late with starbucks only to find out that the damp dishrag whispery mindless villain Thrawn characterization I was worried about manifested exactly

[waywardsou2]

DO U HAVE A SPECIFIC CHARACTER OR MOMENT U LIKE?? (From avatar, star wars (I remember you liking this?? I think), mha, arcane, or any other fandom u have posted about)

-anon(o≧▽゜)o

Oooooh hmm

I'm going to answer all of these if that's ok

Avatar: This one is tough, I'm trying to think about the first time I watched it...I would have to say watching Jake run with Neytiri through the jungle for the first time. And then when they ahem mated ahem. It was just very beautiful.

When I watched it again when I was older though the moment that Jake walked again for the first time in...idk decades? You watch his face light up as he realises he can use his toes again and he doesn't give a fuck what the doctors think he just runs, because he hasn't been able to in so long. It's special

Star Wars: (yes I do love star wars) for me it would just be all of Ezra's character development from Rebels, he's such an amazing kid and a well written character, I love him very dearly. But I also love the Bad Batch, there is a lot of important stuff touched on in that show that I feel that a lot of other shows don't this was like a kids show for adults. It was amazing

MHA: Oooh this is another tough one...the scene would have to be...maybe the whole arc with Eri, that shit had me on the edge of my seat for so long plus it held a lot of development for some of my favourite characters. The character in particular though would have to be Dabi. I relate to him with his issues with his dad, nothing ever being good enough, being compared to your siblings, only caring about my feelings when it had emotional repercussions for him...I get it. Dabi wasn't a villain by choice, they made him into one

ANYWAY ENOUGH WITH THE DEPRESSING SHIT MOVING TF ON

And finally Arcane: I didn't notice it until later but the moment Viktor was able to run, fully run for the first time in his life. It was so emotional and so heartbreaking despite how happy it should have been. That and the final which I won't spoil Yoyo since I want you to watch it hehe

THANK YOU FOR THE ASK I LOVED THIS ONE!!

Star Wars Rebels and Ezrabine

Since I'm an amateur writer making an uneducated guess, I'd like to discuss relationships in the Star Wars universe. It's probably one of the touchiest subjects in this community, right after the debate over which trilogy was better (prequel or sequel), whether Jar Jar Binks was necessary, or if the politics are actually garbage.

To be more specific, I want to delve into the relationship between Ezra and Sabine from Star Wars Rebels. You might know them as Ezrabine or Sabezra. They're one of the hottest topics in pairings, right up there with Rey and Ben/Kylo. While the latter pair is something I deeply disapprove of, I'm neutrally conflicted about Sabezra.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Before I dissect the relationship itself, I'd like to touch on three points that people often criticize or discuss. Please bear with me; I'm a bit sleep-deprived.

Ages:

Quoting from Quora: "Han's official year of birth is 'ca. 32 BBY,' which means he's anywhere from ten to thirteen years older than Leia." This suggests that the most iconic couple in Star Wars had a notably significant age gap. "Padmé was born in 46 BBY (Before the Battle of Yavin), and Anakin's miraculous Force-created birth came in 41 BBY, so Padmé is five years older than him." Yet another iconic couple, with a substantial age difference. Hera and Kanan are yet another example, with Hera being four years older.

Headcanons:

I understand that people want Sabine to be a lesbian, and I can empathize with that desire. As a queer Star Wars fan myself, I comprehend the need for characters with similar journeys and identities. However, while having headcanons, it's crucial to remember that they are personal interpretations. They don't become canon for everyone just because you envision them that way. You're free to explore your own headcanons, and if others agree, that's even better. But ultimately, headcanon remains just that—headcanon.

For instance, my personal headcanon includes Ahsoka being aroace, or at the very least, completely asexual bisexual. And I believe Luke Skywalker isn't straight at all. I mean, have you seen the boots he wore for his own execution? Come on!

Relationships in Star Wars:

When we examine relationships in the Star Wars universe, we discover a wide array. These range from parent-child relationships, sibling bonds, adopted families, found families, to romantic love in various forms, ages, and situations. Tragedy often follows these relationships:

Ashoka and Anakin: Master and Padawan, Brother and Sister, Tragedy.

Obi-Wan and Satine: Jedi and Senator, Lovers, Tragedy.

Padme and Anakin: Senator and Jedi, Tragedy.

Kanan and Hera: Jedi and Rebel, Tragedy.

Yoda and Dooku: Master and Padawan, Tragedy.

This list goes on endlessly, and it's filled with sorrow.

Most of the significant Star Wars relationships are fraught with tragedy.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

The relationship within the Ghost crew can be described as follows: "The crew of the Ghost in Star Wars Rebels has always been a family. They aren't related by blood, and they didn't come from the same homeworlds, but they are bound together by a common cause, respect, trust, and love." This is how Amy Richau described them in an article on StarWars.com.

From what I've gathered, the found family dynamic within the Ghost crew evolves with each member. 

Take Kanan, for example. While Hera is his girlfriend and wife, Chopper is a quirky, psychopathic pet, and Sabine is like a surrogate daughter, Kanan's relationship with Ezra is that of a Padawan and Master to the highest degree. A master plays a role akin to that of a father but maintains the mentorship for training and respect, which involves clear emotions but also a deeper line.

Hera takes on the role of a self-proclaimed mom, offering kindness in the harsh times of rebellion. Zeb is mostly like the older brother who spotted you as a newbie at school and decided to lend a helping hand, providing support and having your back.

What I'm trying to convey is that while the Ghost crew is undoubtedly a family under any circumstances, the relationship between Ezra and Sabine doesn't fit the sibling mold, especially not from Season 3 onward. There's a reason I believe Ezra still has feelings for Sabine, at least until the Ahsoka Episode 4 standpoint. 

From Season 3 onward, we witness Ezra's transformation. He matures, learns, and fully embraces his role as a future Jedi. He's no longer the kid the crew rescued on that planet, nor does he try to flirt with Sabine like some awkward neighbor kid. He's become an integral part of their close-knit community.

He and Sabine are equals, and he's no longer the young person Sabine takes under her wing in an older sisterly manner. They fight as rebels together, as comrades in the same community. Perhaps they sense a familial bond through the crew, but no dialogue from either of them implies a sibling relationship. They haven't been written with sibling energy, unlike the dynamic between Ahsoka and Anakin or Leia and Luke in the 6th movie.

In Season 3, there are moments that could have established them as siblings to emphasize the family connection. Take, for instance, when Ezra meets Sabine's family during the Mandalorian arc, and he talks to Sabine's brother for the first time. Instead of introducing himself as Sabine's brother, it comes off more like a boy meeting his Gfs family.

There might be counterarguments, as in Season 4's beginning when Ezra and the other Mandalorians rescue Sabine's father. Ezra doesn't claim to be family; he implies that he isn’t in a romantic relationship with Sabine. However, the fact that Ezra never alludes to a sibling relationship is intriguing. The end of Rebels, where it's just between Ezra and Sabine, further adds complexity to the situation, with how he decides to confide in him and him only.

There may have been something in the works discussed in the directing room, but then why is there a sudden shift to a sibling relationship in Ahsoka? It's hard to believe that after not allowing Ezra to introduce himself as Sabine's brother, they now suddenly introduce that element again. There are some theories out there that could explain why Sabine scoffs instead of reacting fondly when he says he's her brother. It's all quite frustrating.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

While there's undoubtedly a sense of familial connection within the Ghost crew, the relationship between Sabine and Ezra has taken on a different dimension. It doesn't necessarily have to be romantic, as there are moments missing for that kind of build-up. Some scenes, the way they're animated, shot, or the dialogue they share, indicate a different dynamic. 

But there's also no clear groundwork for a sibling relationship, and considering Star Wars' storytelling and penchant for twists, it wouldn't be surprising if it turned out to be a setup.

The divide within the fandom over the years has also made it challenging to establish this relationship. And keeping it ambiguous didn't help as we know how fandoms like to rip each other apart.

But in the end, it's a story. Let's stay calm, take a deep breath, and see how it unfolds. Let's keep the discussions civil and respect each other's viewpoints as we argue like pros!

[achingly-shy]

okay okay okay okay theory!!!! this is based solely off my memory so if i'm like wrong just let me live in my lies for another week lol

there were three figures on the map when sabine opened it in 1x01. a bunch of us were screaming about it being the mortis gods and i just assumed oh guess not when she didn't say something despite being there to see the painting at the lothal jedi temple but ANYWAY i think they're still connected. three figures three mortis gods father son daughter yes yes yes they are on the map when the sphere is unlocked so safe to say they are somehow in some representation within the carvings/engravings of the sphere. SO ahsoka ends up in the world between worlds after touching the activated sphere.....touching it with her HAND......and what was so important about the mortis gods on the lothal painting???? their HANDS. ezra used the force to connect with the painting and move the hands of the gods to open/close the portal SO i think by touching it somehow ahsoka opened up a portal and that is how she is in the world between worlds. the key is that she touched it while it was actively being used to transmit coordinates...that's how i'm explaining why this didn't happen anytime anyone else touched it. either that or the fact that ahsoka has been there before it is important to her and ezra and fucking being alive and ezra and vader and anakin and kajkdjkfjsljks

Despite TC being horrible, I really do still love his performance as Lestat and would’ve loved to have seen him as the character had they continued the trilogy throughout the 90’s-00’s. I remember there was talk about Julian Sands playing the role and even though I’m not sure whether he could’ve pulled it off, there is a sort of clumsiness in his delivery at times that I can see working with Lestat’s character. Is there any actor from that time that you would’ve liked to play Louis? I know Brad Pitt understandably gets shit for it but I think his Louis’s hilarious.

Tom Cruise is many things and a great Lestat is definitely one of them! It's hard for me to give him up in favor of anyone, but especially Anne's picks because usually I hate them....Julian Sands is pretty good though as a concept, I'm not sure if he could pull it off though just because Lestat is a hard role. I don't think Sam Reid or Stuart Townsend have whatever "it factor" is required either to be honest. I also just cannot get behind hunky Lestat, that's a deadly sin in my heart.

Louis is hard too though! I do genuinely like Brad Pitt's Louis, I think by hating it so much and being so miserable he stumbled upon greatness and method acting. He didn't have the full nuance of the character, but that's as much about the writing of the movie, limitations of filmmaking, and the status of gay media in the 90s as it was about him. I have largely good things to say about his performance and Jacob Anderson's as well (my dislike of the show could never make me hate him 💔).

I think aesthetically Brad Pitt was a great choice as the premier 90s prettyboy + his accidental embodiment of the LDPDL je ne sais quoi. Honestly I don't see many other actors from that era who fit the role visually being able to really embody Louis super well, but in terms of looks I do think that if you gave later 2000s (too young in the 90s/y2k) Chad Michael Murray the right outfit, a good wig, and some tasteful vampire makeup he would have the vibe. Much like Brad Pitt, he has the facial structure and features to make things happen if he could get away from the 90s heartthrob energy and be creepier and gayer. Unsure if he could though tbh.

Hi there! I just want to say I’m so excited about your Ezra series! I love content for him and I love soulmate aus even more. Can’t wait for the next part!

Hi!! :D

Thank you so much!! I'm glad you like it!

It's an idea that's been chilling in one of my notebooks and I just really expanded on it.

With Reader closer to Yavin IV, things should get interesting . . .

[jessahmewren]

Alright, it’s time! 😝

I’m curious, if had to pick your top five otps/ships/pairings what would they be?? I get the feeling we’ll have some in common!

Ooh that's a really good one. Now I have to ask you a legitimate question instead of getting to your ask box and completely blanking bc I'm overwhelmed with work XD. Anyway. Yes, OTPs/ships/pairings.

Mulder and Scully (my OTP)

Hannibal Lecter and Will Graham (my murder husbands mwha)

Reylo

The Pedro Pascal Multiverse of Found Children (Ezra & Cee, Joel & Ellie, Din Djarin & Din Grogu...I'm cheating and making them one pairing)

I used to really love Johnlock back in the day but these days I'm shipping Sylki (come on, season two of Loki) and Dinbo (really excited for the Mandalorian Season 4, also)

Really there are more but those five-ish are the ones that give me all the dopamine atm

Thank you for the ask!

[churro-on-a-unicycle]

Hi can u please tell us more about ezra?

oh my god hi??? yes!! yes i can!! god sorry I'm not used to getting asks ahh

So! Ezra is one of the main characters of a story I'm planning to turn into a webcomic! He's got these headphones attached to him that give him superhearing and a guitar that he can use as a weapon to make destructive soundwaves! He's very into music so sometimes he accidentally ends up destroying stuff

Ezra also has amnesia! He doesn't remember anything about his past other than some vague memories. There's also this organization called O.R.I.O.N chasing after him even though he doesn't know why. As far as he knows he's innocent. He wants to know more about his past and what happened to him buuut that's all I can say about that for now hehe

Other than that he's a pretty chill guy! He doesn't have the greatest moral compass and tends to choose himself over others a lot of the time, especially at the start where he's has just met Lib and Jazim. But he'll get over that!! Hopefully!!! He's still a good person but maybe just needs a gentle nudge in the right direction.

Some other important things to know about him is that he's trans and bisexual! I ship him with a certain other character of mine that I haven't posted about yet ;)

But yeah that's the basic gist of his character! There's more stuff but this post is already far too long, thank you sm for the ask anon! Here's a doodle just for you

[podcasts-8-my-heart]

can you tag your music polls?

they will get the "music poll" tag, along with with the "tumblr polls" tag.

[softpadawan]

Hey ready for some angst?? Ezra is captured, brainwashed and serves under the Grand Inquisitor, once they get a got on him again he is trying to escape again and again but then Kanan intercepts him and hugs him so hard that Ezra starts crying cuz Force is been so long since he got a touch that didn’t made him hurt, he never recovers his memories but decides to honor the kid that he once was with the crew at his side and Kanan’s love guiding him

Oh yeah. This is how it's done
