someone needs to explain to me how satine and the new mandalorians "won" the great clan wars. how did they enforce the exile/banishment of the insurgents to concordia. who was doing the fighting for the new mandalorians and defending against the insurgents. how did they enforce the exile.

george lucas didn’t do enough deep thinking on the naboo government, and dave filoni did seemingly no thinking before throwing in mandalore's backstory exclusively through obi-wan’s dialogue as a function of his own romantic backstory with satine.

I can't find it now but there's a post about suspension of disbelief and how it's broken when the story starts trying to excuse it. "character gets knocked unconscious for hours but there's no further issues from this" okay 👍 "and actually this makes perfect sense because of this and that" um no it doesn't why are you lying to me. like i am willing to ignore the holes and the discrepancies!! all you need to do is let me and not bring unnecessary attention to it!!!

and all that is my issue with the whole robin child soldier argument. like i am willing to ignore it i am willing to engage with the fantasy literally all you need to do is NOT try to convince me that Actually It's Fine Because They Want To Do It or whatever. like literally just shut up about it and i can engage with the fantasy!!

New AU/scenario? World's shittiest family reunion

ID start: A doodle od The Pale King and The Hollow Knight from Hollow Knight as humans. Pale King appears old, tired and unwell, looking away awkwardly as he clutches his cloak, while The Hollow Knight, as a shade, clings to his shoulder with a curious expression. End ID.

No but it really is insane that at that very moment, Mike is grappling with two things: 1) his belief that the painting is for someone Will has feelings for and 2) the knowledge that the painting is for him. And he’s smiling.

Solomon who uses the Necronomnomnom cookbook, (based off of The Necronomicon), for his recipes and takes it too literally rather than using the translated versions is the real reason why he’s bad at cooking.

FYI: the recipes are written to sort of “roleplay”along with the actual book, so the ingredients and steps are written oddly, as if it were an actual spell book/grimoire of some sort. There’s actual translations of the recipes in the back of the book that are normal :)

I really love the detail of garrus always being that one step behind shepard... and not in the literal "got your back" sense (though of course I love that too), but in the figurative "just short of crossing the finish line" sense. like ME1: when you meet garrus, he's already been on this saren case, he's just been unable to get anyone to take it seriously. in walks shepard, and shepard is able to do all these things garrus couldn't quite do: becomes spectre, is taken (somewhat) seriously, goes on galaxy-wide chase to take down saren. wins. garrus has always been trying to do "right" in a way that makes sense, and here's this human that just already knows how and DOES IT.

then ME2, garrus is still on this quest to do right. he manages to put together a team, but ultimately, this enterprise is a failure too. he just can't quite make it. but that's when shepard arrives, picks garrus up, and in one day defeats the gang leaders that garrus has been after for MONTHS. also important to note without getting into the whole religious symbolism of it: his team is 11 people, with garrus himself being the 12th. by the end of ME2, shepard successfully accomplishes their goal with a team of 12 total. 12 followers. 12 disciples. I'm not getting into it. but. just look at those numbers. you know what I'm trying to say.

by ME3, garrus DOES make it over this finish line. he DOES get his promotion and people respecting him. but it sucks. after years of striving to get to the finish line, to cross that mountain, he gets there and it's so much pressure. but the wonderful thing is, now instead of being a step behind, he's shoulder-to-shoulder with shepard, which allows for the open communication and support that the two of them get to have because he GETS IT. he was watching the whole time from behind. he's seen all the highs, and the lows, and now in the low low, he knows what it's LIKE. it's like this wonderful full circle moment where he's able to support the person he's looked up to for so long.

It's because he misses home <3

can i speak my truth fellas i feel like it's a bit unfair to sorta stick jon under a fuck around and find out type umbrella. like if anything he finds out THEN fucks around. like i think part of why people will so readily defend him to the point of being unwilling to acknowledge that he has ever made a misstep is because there's this. willingness. to go teehee dumb fafo protag but it's like. a fairly major plot point that he is neck-deep in the mire before he even really realises what's going on and by that point there's not really any turning back. because. he's trapped.

like not to dig up The Same Discourse but he rly does mostly just make the best possible decisions he can with the info he has at the time, esp early on
