the agent's bio: please Do NOT send me a story that has emotional/physical abuse

Me, whose main character is the victim of parental abuse that is discussed frequently inside the story: NOT. NOT got the story for you.

The scene where Drax pets Rocket in order to comfort him after losing Groot in the first Guardians movie hits so different now after watching Vol. 3. When Drax first puts his hand on Rocket’s head, you can see him tense up, probably because most of the physical contact he has had up until that point has been followed by the infliction of pain. It also broke my heart when I realised that this was also probably the first time that Rocket had ever been patted or stroked in an affectionate way by anyone in his life 🥹

Today on Posts That Will Serve As A Blocklist but whatever:

It's genuinely at the point where people who act all dismissive and superior about the Star Wars animated series, and ESPECIALLY of Ahsoka specifically as a character--snidely dismissing anything that involves TCW-original characters or arcs--are just. Objectively hysterically wrong.

Like.

Phantom Menace released in 1999.

Revenge of the Sith was six years later, in 2005.

TCW started airing in 2008. Ahsoka started existing in the narrative literally three years after RotS dropped.

Even if you start counting as far back as you possibly can, back in TPM (wherein Anakin was an actual baby), the prequel era only existed at all without her for nine years.

Ahsoka Tano has been a narratively significant, load-bearing major protagonist of the Star Wars franchise for, as of this post, sixteen (16) years. Very nearly twice as long as her era ever existed without her! At this point, if you are determined to act like she's some handwavey 'new' star war idea whose impact on the living tapestry of the GFFA can be easily dismissed, that's...

...like, full offense but that's kind of on you, man.

Be careful, Orion. There are things beyond this star system that you’ve never seen the likes of before.

Hey, at least he’s got that cool solar eclipse shield to protect the princess!

i genuinely want the mcu to end so badly. the whole "every movie takes place in the same universe and they're all connected" worked well in the earlier days, but now it just hurts the quality. i would have loved to see what an ant-man 3 or a doctor strange 2 could have been if it didn't need to put aside its own identity in service of furthering a larger story. and as the release schedule gets more and more crowded, it just gets harder and harder to remain invested in literally anything.

Something interesting I noticed during my rewatch of Steve Saga—

The first seven episodes of SS (the ones that were lost media until reuploaded) are actually REALLY interesting for a few reasons

It shows Steves transforming into other colors and having the ability to change. Sabre had come in contact with a Green Steve, but angered him enough to a point where it turned completely Red.

It reminds us how much power Sabre has over the Steves. Changing the gamemode controls their behavior towards them, and Sabre had the ability to change from peaceful to hard over and over and over to the point where Steves became nearly permanently aggressive, even in peaceful mode. Sabre has the ability to manipulate their very wills/minds. Imagine what he could have done with people like Nightmare or Void.

The main reason— During those first seven episodes, Sabre switches servers twice. (possibly 3 times) He visits multiple worlds before he comes to the one where he summons Blue Steve, where the series truly kicks off. Think about that, whole other WORLDS with Steves. If you put it into a lore perspective and acknowledge that the main SS server has history prior to Sabre's appearance, than like,,,,,,,,,, imagine the lore to that

These worlds could have their own histories, their own people and kings and villains and heroes and ??? And Sabre was there for only a short moment before disappearing into the next server. He left his mark with experimentation and a few blocks and then he was gone

Do the steves of those worlds still speak of the strange figure that was seen?????? Is Sabre some feared folktale passed down around campfires and in bedtime stories!!!!?????!! What if Sabre had stayed, where would his story go, orrugjjaou I am, need a moment to think about thsi,,,,

Nova Galaxy and Indigo Glory

Last but not least, the estranged Unicorn sibling, an apothecary and captain of the fort guard.

Doctor, apothecary, babysitter, all things that describe Nova, and none she would deny. She was given the opportunity to study not only new diseases, and the stars on New Dawn, but also get the heck away from the big city that she was forced to stay in for work. She's a very anti-social ewe with not a want for a big group of friends, however, she adores kids/fawns/foals. This job would have been perfect, if not for the fact that her "little" brother seemed to have the same idea with coming to the new world. After the "incident" Nova wanted nothing to do with him... However, she guessed it was better to try and be cordial for the sake of survival.

Indigo, however, was thrilled to see his "big" sister again! After being told by his commanding officer that he would be stationed at this very new post, he was expecting to never see any of his family again. To see someone he not only knew, but was once close with, gave him some semblance of comfort. Too bad she seems rather cold and distant from him. Whatever, he has work to do, the fort militia is an unorganized mess, the natives (Alo and animal alike) seem a bit too hostile, and there seems to be magic stirring that is too ancient to comprehend... the ram's got a lot on his plate, and he's only one person.

The final candidates for the Heart of the Hero, they shall make for Just and Selfless Hearts.

Doting Mother

I had a really funny idea.

And yes, Indigo Glory and Nova Galaxy are siblings (whether or not I want their mother to be Rarity is still up in the air lol)

Their clothing is based off of Laotian and Mongolian fashion, as I've decided that Unicorns in MLP; New Dawns have more of an Asian culture and appearance.

“Wait mandalorians can get married?” You are more curious than anything and the question leaves you before you can even keep your mouth shut.

All focus is on the crowd before you. Everyone, including the familiar crimson beskar wearing warrior Kirishima, rushed to congratulate the two other mandalorians who stepped out of the tent. The couple simply walked out, announced they were married, and immediately celebration broke forth so fast, so bright it stole your breath. There was no question from the others, only joy and trust. You understood different cultures had various marriage traditions. Yet this one was so different than the other grand ceremonies composed of elegant gowns and fully packed banquet halls. It felt...more intimate.

“Yes we can marry, shitty Jedi.” Bakugo sounds almost offended and your heart crumbles fast into your stomach. This tentative whatever the two of you have forged is important to you and you don’t want to shatter it.

You apologize and mean it. “I didn’t know. The ceremony seemed so fast and private though.”

“It is.” Bakugo’s modulated voice drops softer through the helmet.

“Don’t know if it’s true, but there’s some old ass urban legend the first mandalorian marriage was done during battle. No ceremony, no pompous bullshit. The two just exchanged vows in the middle of battle to bind their lives together.”

An image surges fast in your mind. Two ancient warriors fighting side by side, the trenches of battle pushing the lovers further and further to the terrifying realization they might not see tomorrow. Their love, bloodstained and battle born.

“Legend says the shit they vowed became the vows mandalorians have said ever since.”

It’s a beautiful, sacred and so simple. But it conjures up a deadly new thought in your mind -

An army of storm troopers surrounds you. The ache of battle soaks you to your bones. Your body barely stands back to back against beskar. Suddenly you move without thinking. You turn fast towards the fierce mandalorian. With your lightsaber in one hand, the other reaches out to him and you find the familiar beautiful black colored beskar helmet is already looking at you. Without hesitation he grabs your hand-

You exhale loud, blinking back into reality as you mentally stab those thoughts away.

“That’s beautiful.” You truthfully admit, admiring as a grateful outsider. “I'm thinking the ceremonies are private for the sake of the helmet removal.”

“Yeah. S'why even other mandalorians aren't usually around when it happens. And cause...” Bakugo’s modulated gruff voice trails off. “…Shit, I’m going to sound even more ridiculous-”

“You won’t I promise.” You interrupt reassuring him as your eyes finally glance at him. His helmet is slightly tilted towards you. He sighs and looks back out to the crowd. You do as well.

“The vows, they're important. No one but us or those we're marrying can know them.“

They are meant to be said in private for that reason. The sacredness of knowing is too precious, meant to be shared with someone special. An aggressive curiosity claws at you. You want to know what is spoken and vowed. You rationalize this curiosity as simply wanting to understand the culture more. However, the force whispers the true reason why into the deep caverns of your heart and you cannot even face that truth yet.

The lightsaber silent on your hip weighs more than an entire galaxy.

“Hey guys!” Kirishima, loud and warm even through his helmet. “Isn’t it great?”

“It is.” You answer with a warm earnest grin. “I hope everyone gets to celebrate with the newlyweds.”

“Oh yeah! We already got a few plans in mind.” Kirishima’s voice holds a playful grin in it. Even though you cannot see his face you believe it to be just as bright as the two moons shining above.

“This making you think about your own upcoming ceremony, huh Bakugo?!” Then Kirishima’s words grab your heart. He slaps Bakugo’s shoulder playfully and the clanging clash of beskar hitting beskar makes your mind rattle.

“Get the fuck out of here.” Bakugo’s snarl is sharp, piercing. You had never even heard him talk this way to his fellow commander.

“Alright, alright I get it. Those pre marriage jitters I’m sure get to everyone even you!” Kirishima however is not phased one bit. He waves a playful goodbye and returns to the celebrating.

But it leaves you two alone again. The air is thin and tight. Even with the warm laughs and celebration bubbling so close, a dread builds.

“You’re…getting married?” Your voice is small, a bit confused. You do not even recognize it.

A moment passes.

“I…yeah.” He replies. The words puncture a hole in your chest and air is rapidly escaping. A hollowness quickly fills up the gaping space.

“It’s a political arrangement between the different clans.” Bakugo’s voice is composed, but it does not sound like him.

In the entire time you have known this warrior, you had never once heard him speak about his betrothed, much less about his impending marriage. And…you had never once heard him speak this quiet, almost distant.

“Oh.” Your voice mirrors his, just as quietly detached.

“Congratulations then.” You hate that you cannot find a single thread of celebration in your tone or feel any earnestly as the hollowness consumes you.

“I'm praying for the poor sucker stuck with marrying you.” You jokingly tease but the minute the words leave you, your eyes start to sting. Your lips twitch and the taste of tears comes in the back of your throat. An ache you cannot even process yet has the force retreating from you like a sacred small creature. All you do is simply swallow everything back.

Bakugo stays quiet, does not even respond to your jest or thank you for the congratulations.

Under the light of the two moons, the cheers of the marriage celebration continue to illuminate the air.

And you walk away, not saying another word.

This song is making me want to start yet another fic to never finish,, "Tell me... Where is your hideout? Who are we running from? I'm starting to think that you were right, and now I'm afraid of letting go of your hand...." Maul giving up on his Mandalore plan and deciding to just stalk Kenobi to tell him about his vision. Staying illegally in Obi-Wan's room because I love putting these guys in situations (and because Maul would NOT leave him alone until Obi-Wan actually accepted Maul is right, which he won't). Following Obi-Wan to Utapau and helping him escape after the clones attack, feeling equal parts vindicated and enraged (because he was proved right but Sidious still won). Them being on the run together....

[princeoftrashy]

I had to make this for class, but I was liking the concept, so I just kept messing with it.

[YouTube Link] 💙

The character depicted is the Ancient One. They are sort of like the creator god in The Lost Ones. They slept for a long time at the bottom of the sea, and when they awoke, the creatures of the sea helped them reach the surface. But the surface was nothing but empty sky, so they began to create everything by ripping off pieces of themselves until they had nothing left to give. That’s how the world was made.

I think I just had THE idea for a novel

[thyinum]

Finally after almost a year from release you can read my ongoing comic “The Keepers of Stars” in English!

Every action has its consequences, especially when you go against the rules established by the Universe itself. They only wanted to bring their beloved creatures back to life and now are forced to keep them in their bodies. They are responsible for billions of lives that are still under the threat of deadly darkness and they need to be careful not to mess up. How to keep your stars safe in this new world? How to protect the lives of fellow galaxies who are counting on you?

Thanks @/barvinok.kvitka for the help with translation.
