#or revenge their stuff

[shinxeysartgallery]

Really funny that I keep seeing people bitching about Toyhouse users "hoarding" characters. Are there people that do hoard characters? There sure are, but not everyone that has over 100 characters is a hoarder.

People are really out here like "UHHH IF YOU HAVE MORE THAN LIKE 50 CHARACTERS THAT'S TOTALLY A RED FLAG AND YOU'RE PROBABLY A HOARDER!" Or maybe they're just a writer? Or they're really into character design? And if they're all characters they made themselves, it matters even less.

Sure, I can get why people would be upset over someone having 500 characters that they never use for anything, especially when a large majority of them were adopted and they haven't even had their sales tags removed or names changed from "OTA" or "Freebie". Those guys, okay, I would probably consider them hoarders. If people are constantly grabbing up freebies or buying characters, they legitimately might have hoarding or spending issues, but that's also their problem to deal with. Yeah, it might suck that they bought an OC you wanted and now you'll never get them 'cause they're just going to rot in that account forever, but at the end of the day, they bought the character so they can do whatever they want with it (within the creator's TOS). If they bought it just because they thought the design was pretty and just wanted to have it, then fine; they're allowed to do that. It's not illegal and they're not hurting anyone.

But so many people seem to associate owning a lot of characters with that same sort of mindset. Like, I've now gone over 300 characters at this point (big oof for me lmao) and I've been called a hoarder. Granted, I'm pretty sure the guy who called me one was just trying to guilt trip me into giving them my characters, but that's still the angle they went with. I would not consider someone like myself a hoarder because I'm actually using everyone in some way. I have a Sonic AU, a Murder Drones AU, four original stories (one's actually a sequel to another, but it counts lmao), and some one-shots. Yeah, that's gonna involve a LOT of characters. Some are obvious favorites and definitely get more love and attention than others, but it doesn't mean that I don't like the ones that get less attention. Some are more important to a story than others. That doesn't mean I hate the background or otherwise irrelevant characters; it just means they don't play as big of a role as others (but they do still HAVE a role). There are a lot of other people like that, too! I saw someone on TH a while back that had over 2,000 characters. Now, that's quite a lot, but when I looked at their profile, they also had like a dozen different stories they were writing in addition to a bunch of fandom OCs. I obviously don't have the time to look at all 2k profiles, but I did look at a handful that seemed interesting and they were all pretty lore-heavy. Even though they have like 6x the amount of characters that I do, there's no question about theirs being used and loved on.

It's just so funny and stupid how pressed people get over it. Whoah, big numbers are scary! Waaaah! You can't possibly have more than 1 OC or you're a hoarder because you clearly can't ever love more than 1 at a time!!! /s

CodyWan Day One: Different Order 66/Lightsabers

General Obi-Wan Kenobi arrives on his varactyl. He arrives with a smile and a rigid back and a belt without a lightsaber. "Cody!" the man calls, voice like fresh water, fresh sheets, and arms around his torso. "Cody!" There's no Commander to accompany his name. "Cody!" His smile is like the sun, like the break of day after an endless storm. "It's over!" "It's over," Cody breathes, barely an echo before his brothers erupt. Helmets fall to the ground, identical faces with identical grins. Obi-Wan laughs, he laughs and the clouds clear away and Cody can't help himself as he laughs as well. The man dismounts the varactyl, closes the distance in a moment and wraps Cody into the tightest hug he's had in a very long time. At first, the Commander freezes, but then he allows himself to relax. He allows himself to breathe because the war is over. Grievous is defeated. Dooku is dead. The droids have been demolished into nothing but spare parts. They're free. Obi-Wan pushes away, but keeps Cody at arm's length, his eyes crinkled and the lines around his face pronounced with emotion and relief because they're done. Four long years of fighting with seemingly no end and sight and here they are. Content. Happy. Free. "My dear commander, what will you do now?" Obi-Wan asks, gently with a voice of silk that has Cody longing for somewhere quieter, somewhere alone with fresh water, fresh sheets, and a careful embrace that has him feeling human. What will you do now? Oh, what a question. Cody can't wait to figure out the answer.

"Anakin lurched upright in bed, gasping, staring blindly into alien darkness.

How she had screamed for him- how she had begged for him, how her strength had failed on that alien table, how at the last she could only whimper, Anakin, I'm sorry. I love you. I love you―thundered inside his head, blinding him to the contours of the night-shrouded room, deafening him to every sound save the turbohammer of his heart.

His hand of flesh found unfamiliar coils of sweat-damp silkensheets around his waist. Finally he remembered where he was. He half turned, and she was with him, lying on her side, her glorious fall of hair fanned across her pillow, eyes closed, half a smile on her precious lips, and when he saw the long, slow rise and fall of her chest with the cycle of her breathing, he turned away and buried his face in his hands and sobbed."

Star Wars: Revenge of the Sith

Novelization by Matthew Stover

[charmwasjess]

Lightsaber Theory: Obi-Wan "Sith Lords are Our Specialty" Kenobi consistently loses duels to Dooku not for any reason of technical form mismatch or lack of ability, but because Dooku is not even pretending to try to kill him. Resultantly, Obi-Wan can’t figure out what the fuck is going on when they fight. 

Obi-Wan: (preparing to defend an expected lethal strike) You’ll answer for your enormities, Count!

Dooku: (giving him the lightest love tap on the leg) Don’t be so sure, my special good lineage baby boy, so perfect in my eyes. 

Obi-Wan: …What?

Dooku: What?

Which Dooku and Obi-Wan proud lineage moment is even the most unhinged? There are so many to choose from! Is it Dooku’s frequent inability, both in AotC and TCW, to keep from spontaneously gushing about Sidious’s plans and even his own dark secrets to Obi-Wan?? Is it the time in Labyrinth of Evil where Dooku drags a long-suffering, bored Grievous over to watch a holorecording of Anakin and Obi-Wan thwarting his plans yet again, to point out how beautifully they’re working together as a team and how much he likes watching their lightsaber work evolve? Is it in the recent Brotherhood novel, where Obi-Wan just has to casually namedrop Qui-Gon to get Dooku to do exactly what he wants?

Obi-Wan is a big problem for Sidious in his mission to destabilize and corrupt Anakin, and Sidious knows it. He needs him out of the picture to do the same isolating, evil bullshit that worked so well when ensnaring Dooku himself. But the war has been going on for years now, and guess who remains inconveniently alive? And whose job was that to take care of? Oh yeah. I remember. His useless, Padawan assassin-collecting apprentice: fucking Count Dooku. By the time of RotS, Sidious has specifically ordered Dooku to make fucking sure Obi-Wan is dead only for him to completely ignore the command about a half-dozen times.

Going by the Stover RotS novelization, in the same scene where Dooku also literally refers to Obi-Wan as his fucking grandson actually, add that to our earlier list, Sidious reiterates that KILL OBI-WAN is the plan (over the sound of Dooku’s loud complaining) moments before that final duel.  I kind of wish we’d gotten a shot of Sidious's incredulous, enraged expression as Dooku knocks Obi-Wan unconscious and pins him safely out of the way. He is, once again, going out of his way to not kill Obi-Wan in that duel, and this time directly disobeying his Master to his face after they just had a conversation about it. You just know exactly what Sidious must be thinking at that moment. Oh, Dooku. You are so fucking fired.
