i'm late 2 the party but. taurus sun, cap moon, gemini venus how much does sangyeon love me

wAit did i say cap moon no i’m a cancer moon apparently

first off BIG mood at that sangyeon comment; secondly i’m gonna cry breaking this top three to you (under cut i will explain stuff abt u & yeon). Anywhos top three for you is Eric (cap sun, scorpio moon, aqua venus), Sunwoo (aries sun, cancer moon, aries venus), and tbh im caught btwn Sangyeon (scorp sun, leo moon, libra venus) & Jaehyun (virgo sun, capricorn moon, scorpio venus)  so there ya go 

I have to say,,, my fave for you has to be sunwoo but thats also bc im a hoe for aries-taurus relationships like they’re generally so vibrant and fun and (bc your moon signs are the same) they’re generally understanding. However headstrong both signs are, there’d be a lot of v positive n healthy banter here which would most likely lead to uncovering problems n nipping them in the bud. There’s also a super great balance that can be found here tbh like aries are all about doing things w/o thinking kinda but taurus can pull them back to think more n vice versa. Aries would be the one to bring the whole excitement n fun while Taurus brings security n romance. overall i think this is smth that would make you v drawn to each other because you see in each other what you don’t have n it’s really special imo?? Anyways moving onto the moon signs,,, I love same sign compatibility because it allows for sm inherent understanding n just positivity. because you’re both tender n sweet and sensitive, you’d be so in tune with the other person. the only problem that might arise here is that two cancers can get moody and withdraw at times but that’s just something that communication would solve because neither cancer partner would want, at all, to ever make their partner feel like they don’t care or they don’t love them or smth. LASTLY ya venus pairing is amongst one of my FAVOURITES because its so spicy n exciting and it’d really electrify the whole relationship! Like the quirkiness of the gemini would defs excite aries venus n aries venus will 100% bring a playfulness that won’t scare gemini into being too attached too quickly. This is a base for a really strong and playful friendship / relationship; the only downfall is that gemini venus can be a bit flighty sometimes which might hurt aries venus feelings 

NOW you and SANGYEON the whole mango of everyones dreams; you two would acc not be that bad for each other like in most ways, you’d get on better in terms of your sun sign, than you would w sunwoo. Scorpio - taurus is an “opposites attract” pairing but it’s filled with so much passion and it roots go so deep. Because both signs are in love with the idea of love and security n crave affection, they’d instantly get along. in fact, taurus’s willingness to give those (because taurus are generally unafraid of that sort of affection) will 100% make scorpio trust n love u more. However, the problem here occurs between your moon signs. you being a water moon and him being a fire moon leads to major problems because he might feel like you’re snuffing him out at times? Leos are fun and excitable and blow literally everything out of proportion but are also very guarded n will keep their hurt emotions at bay. cancer moons are v different because theyre sensitive, shy, more withdrawn n less showy than a leo would be. This would bother the cancer and would maybe hurt the leo that they’re not getting the recognition / affirmation they wanted from their partner. however, a good thing is that leo wants dominance in the relationship and cancer moons will most likely not fight for that. they’re supportive and loving and this will make leo happy that they don’t have to feel totally squashed n will sometimes be doted on;  you’d also be v loyal and protective n warm with each other, though you’d just show it in diff ways. This is really the only thing that made me say Sunwoo over Sangyeon because leo - cancer compatibility is relatively rocky and not in the same way a taurus - aries relationship would be. howmstever, your double air sign venuses would compliment each other well and you’d probably have a very easy time feeling loved n comfortable with him because your views on love are probably v similar

alright, let’s do this.

war for iokath #1

[ part 1 | part 2 | part 3 | part 4 | part 5 | part 6 ]

spoilers for the entire fractured alliances chain (5.2 onwards)

okay. first of all. arcann terrorised way more. but nbd.

secondly. are we like. including worlds from the republic and empire in this? or the cartel controlled worlds? there are very few neutral worlds in the gffa - even shitholes like darvannis are cartel controlled. places like tatt are the exception because, as i’ve noted elsewhere, it’s basically unconquerable - try, and the desert will eat you. and even then, its inhabited-by-humans areas are largely exchange or cartel-controlled.

so like. tell me. how are the republic taking it that worlds are seceding from them to join an illegal insurgency in wild space? how are the empire taking it? how are the hutts taking it? how is anyone willing to do trade with the Alliance, given as they are stealing control of these worlds out from under legitimate recognised governments? where does the Alliance get all these supplies it’s supposedly sending out - are they returning the goods stolen by zakuul? and if so, why are they only returning them on pain of joining the Alliance but still having the nerve to act like they’re the fucking good guys?

i call this sha’s “eccentric hermit who has nothing to do with this alliance gubbins” look.

what kind of aid? why does zakuul need aid more than the rest of the galaxy? like. i know this question is in here to force that DS response but. zakuul wanted for nothing, except for when the plot holes demanded it. it was a post-scarcity society. largely because it was stealing from everyone else, but still.

we really start in media res with this, which is something i’m find with theoretically but for the most part seems to be so that bioware could skip over the bits where they have to fudge a reason for the commander to give a shit about iokath and get straight to jerking it to superweapons

i know that... you know, but i still really hate this line. theron not have the Force himself, but he was raised by a Jedi, and has spent enough time around Jedi to know how the Force works. it’s awkward and it’s forced (if you’ll excuse the term) and it doesn’t fit and i hates.

i also really hate this ULTIMATE POWAH bullshit. i don’t know if drew had a hand in this but it’s the exact same bullshit you see in the JK story. everything is MORE POWEAHFUL than the last thing and GOES UP TO ELEVEN and KILLS MOAR THINGS and that’s.... after a while it stops being scary and horrifying and just becomes cheap and disrespectful and nasty. i’ve written before about how nihilus wasn’t terrifying (simply) because he was a world killer and how with vitiate bioware completely missed the entire fucking point and it applies here too. ‘ITS MOAR POWAHFUL THAN TEH LAST MACGUFFIN’ is a shitty writing trope i expect from amateurs and joss whedon. if you cannot think of something in the whole of the star wars universe more interesting and terrifying than the last boss + n then honestly i despair for your creativity. (though it’d explain why your original novels tanked, eh drew?)

i don’t even know where to start with this. the empire claiming it would be objectively bad, yes, but they are at the very least a legitimate state. i just. this entire angle does nothing but convince me of the semi-headcanon that Lana views the Alliance as her own personal fiefdom, with the Commander as her puppet figureheard. moreover, the EA’s only claim to being the dominant power is that they have the fleet, which they stole from the people of Zakuul (despite the fact that Master Kyo let Zakuul rule itself? but i guess she giveth with one hand and have the plot taketh away with the other)

i am absolutely sure, yeah. let’s not forget that it’s the sith who pushed for and developed and ultimately used the superweapons in the JK story, and a sith who is pushing me to claim and use a superweapon right now this minute

stg the traitor’s the only one here talking sense

this line, though, is  complete fuck. it’s as DS as they come, but she’s given no choice in saying it whatsoever. ‘fuck all those people whose lives were ruined by the overuse and abuse of superweapons in this plot, they’re nameless mooks so we don’t care about them anyway. waving our dick around is much more important)

i swear to god the BWA writing team would have poo-pooed the cuban missile crisis for being ‘too boring’

anyway, none of the ships in orbit work, for plot reasons, and for some reason the Alliance never bothered to keep that close eye i was promised on Iokath (outlander!Eirn finished up Iokath last night for the first time - she spared Scorpio, btw - and she was informed by her advisors that they’d be keeping a close watch on it and know the minute it could be safely explored again. apparently, however, the ALliance also has a collective IQ of ‘eggs’, because not only did they not do this, but they failed entirely to send either a decent ground force or indeed anyone at all except a sacrificial droid along with Lana)

this post has gotten long enough so i’ll start a new one for iokath itself. it’s already gonna be a long ‘un.
