5,6, and 14 for the Star Wars ask!
Thanks for asking! :D
5. What fics I prefer to read
I guess the proper and concise term is "canon-compliant"? I enjoy fics that sort of fill in the gaps, like snippets or short stories that could've taken place in between of movies or books or chapters or scenes or--
Especially if these depict moments of leisure or generally add more to character development than plot progression.
This will make me sound like a grandma but back in my day-- okay I'm kidding, but seriously I first started reading sw fanfiction when my main obsession was Ben Skywalker, so I remember absolutely DEVOURING everything about him on fanfiction.net. Pretty sure I'd read just about everything there was with him. Luke/Mara were also a favorite.
6. Favorite arc/story element
Is it valid if I just say... the entirety of the Original Trilogy? 😂
If I have to stray further away from the OT, I really really appreciate the way the Yuuzhan Vong were handled as a whole in the New Jedi Order. How their arc began as that of fully inhumane villains with seemingly few actual redeeming or even sentient qualities... to the gradual development of individual Yuuzhan Vong characters until finally a case could be made about culture vs biology and even about how their very culture was just dictated by their leaders and as such could be changed with the help of the lower castes.
I generally also have so so many individual character arcs that I love. I love Mara's arc, I love Jacen's arc in New Jedi Order. So many. Which also answers the question of what my fav story element is... character arcs. Character development. Interpersonal relationships. Seeing characters interact and form bonds with each other is like 90% of the charm in sw for me
14. Part of the Fandom I enjoy/parts I don't.
Well, I really love my sw mutuals here on Tumblr, I love reading metas so... shout out to anyone who does that. Love my overreaders. Love the ones who are willing to take star wars less seriously, and allow its silly side to shine... I just love this little eco chamber I have decidedly created. Love the EU corner of Tumblr. Also shout out to a lot of the tik tok editors out there. You guys are the best.
Now which parts I don't enjoy... the ✨toxicity✨
Anyone bullying the actors/actresses first of all. A big no no. Seriously wtf
The ✨ racism ✨
The ✨ whitewashing ✨
The ✨ sexism ✨

Seeing as we’re a good portion into December with only a couple weeks left of this truly abysmal year and in the meantime that you guys are waiting for an update from me,I thought I would give you guys a favorites 2020 list.Older works tend to take the spotlight in fandom favs so I compiled a list of some of my absolute favorites that were either entirely written or finished this year.Please note there are many many other wonderful fics written this year that I adored,and this is not a mark of lack of merit,but merely a compilation of top hits for me.
Obikin Fics
Symposium by Intermundia--16,900 words--Rated E--Molly has written probably her own Odyssey worth of fanfiction this year and while technically everything she’s written would go on my favorites list,I can’t exactly have her entire portfolio as my list.But Symposium was her first work for the ship and is still my favorite of hers,for her loving discussion of Plato,and the alien/historical metaphors, as well as some good ol’ dom/sub dynamics.The whole fic is an absolute scream and I can’t believe it was only written in April for how many times I’ve come back to it.
Moment’s Silence (Common Tongue) by Gwendolyn (storiesofchaos)--8,164 words--Rated E--I’m a little biased on this one since it was literally written for me but seriously,Gwen reached into my brain and pulled every wire I have working.But this fic checks every box I have for Obikin,Anakin’s desperation and lack of control,Obi-Wan’s service dom vibes,dom/sub dynamics, and cock warming,honestly it’s like you guys get a personal scan of my brain.But Gwen did such a gorgeous job with the prompt and then some,and between the unbelievably hot Id pleasing sex,it delivers such love and care and intimacy as well,it’s everything I love about this ship wrapped up in 8k!
Come Down From Your Holy Mountain by Jotunblood--138,362 words--Rated M--When I think about this fic I revert to inarticulate noises and vague bisexual hand gestures.This was one of those stories I’m terribly glad I let be 3/4 written before I nosed near it because Sonny has the amazing ability to leave you breathless from the emotional intensity and tension of the story.This fic will wreck you in the best of ways,and is one of the few I literally cried while reading.It’s tender,and heartfelt, and as delicate as a spring bloom,all wrapped up in some absolutely gorgeous world building and prose.I am neither huge on post-Mustafar or bottom Obi-Wan stories,but for Sonny I make the ultimate exception.
Through a Glass,Darkly by glimmerglanger--49,383 words--Rated M--I’m a huge fan of anything glimmer conceives and is one of my few exceptions that I actively seek out their work when I know they almost exclusively write bottom Obi-Wan.And oh how fun of a dynamic this story is,with both Jedi Obikin and Sith Obikin,all mixed up from a mirror verse to canon.It’s a scream of a combination and goes to show you can have your cake and eat it too with both good and bad Obikin,and offers such a lovely combination of pining,longing,and desperation. This fic has such an intriguing premise and plays with it so well,but I also love glimmer’s writing for their Obi-Wan,who is every bit as tender and gentle as I imagine him.
Needing/Getting by chapstickaddict--134,784 words--Rated E (WIP)--This is another one I was desperately and I mean desperately glad I let get several chapters in before I started reading,it was bad enough staying up till 5am,100k deep only to be like AND?!?!YOU MEAN I HAVE TO WAIT NOW?!?!I am absolutely obsessed with this fic for many reasons,the force philosophy and prose,the truly gorgeous metaphors to describe the force and their minds.I adore this story too for the twins and Ahsoka and how wonderfully they weave into the tale,and Padme too in her own ways,which offers a rare but greatly appreciated story where she has true agency,even in death.But even beyond the beautiful prose and gorgeous descriptions of the force,I love this story for the electric chemistry between the two,even as Sith and Jedi.I love it for how effortless they fall into each other’s gravitational pulls,and how dynamic and wonderful it is to read them interact and fall in love.
Carrier by JSwander--3,366 words--Rated E--*Chanting* Egg kink-egg kink! But really this fic was birthed from the Obikin discord’s absolute obsession with oviposition/egg kink and Jesus Christ did Jo write it masterfully.This fic is not only unbelievably and scorchingly hot and just yanks at every string in my brain,but it’s also a wonderful combination of sexy and loving,which is my absolute favorite combo.Because sure Obi-Wan is capable of holding Anakin down and egging him speechless,but he’s tender about it,and it’s so beautifully written and everything I’ve ever wanted.
deep dive by amidnightlove--5,821 words--Rated E--And speaking of eggs lets throw in some shameless mermaid kink which had me all kinds of bent out of shape.This fic had no right to send me into the stratosphere like it did,but it was the perfect combination of mermaid kink,ovipositing,breeding kink,and that wonderful golden thread of loving/tenderness in Obikin fics that lights my brain up like a pinball machine.What it can be hot and they can almost cry during sex over having babies?!
hilt by Luckee--5,506 words--Rated E--This is one of those fics with such a seemingly cracky premise but Luckee literally always delivers and I worship everything she writes so of course I had to go and fall in love with it.Don’t be fooled by how ‘Oh Anakin’ the summary is,because this fic will tear your heart out and make you pine and hurt alongside him.It’s hot when it shouldn’t be,and when it’s not supposed to be hot you’re in tears from having every heartstring wound tight from yearning and desperation.Double whammy to every braincell I have for Anakin’s desperation combined with Obi-Wan’s service top vibes and gentle care AND suprise cockwarming.
Good Form by Ranianke--4,425 words--Rated E--(WIP)This fic *shakes fist* was a personal attack against my well being and hit so many of my kinks and Ids I felt called out reading it.But really I was promised filthy,shameless porn,and was delivered something more,because there is some astoundingly gorgeous writing in this to be a pornshot,with one of my all time favorite sequences for the pairing where Anakin seeks to reach perfection for Obi-Wan.It’s gorgeous, strangely moving and touching,beautiful to read,not to mention incredibly and wonderfully hot.
A Just Punishment by Achrya (Daiako)--8,482 words--Rated E--This fic hit so many things for me and really leans in on my shameless love for public humiliation for Anakin.Achrya really blends a lot of my favorite elements for the pair,Dom/Sub,Alpha/Omega,with some public discipline in the form of spanking,as well as some good ol’ fashioned embarrassment from being aroused in the first place.It does an excellent job playing with a lot of my favorite tropes,and ones we don’t see very often for this pairing,and it’s done so smartly and has just drawn me back to it time and time again.
Anakin/Padme/Obi-Wan
Charting Constellations Unseen by glimmerglanger--18,364 words--Rated E--This fic is just such a gorgeous slow burn of the triad slowly working through their feelings and finding one-another. I really enjoy long,ardous slow burns for this pairing,mostly because while I do love to ship it,I also think Anakin would have a lot to personally work through to reach an accord.Glimmer does such a wonderful job with this,and as I always love in their writing,doesn’t leave Padme out and writes her with such arresting sharpness and agency.
Exposure Therapy by Septemberist--10,183 words--Rated E--This fic does just...so many astounding things in 10k.Sure it’s incredibly,and I do mean incredibly hot.But it’s also a gorgeous and just wonderful character analysis of Anakin and illustrates him working through his jealousy and darker character traits,it also has him balancing on the breaking point while we are given a gorgeous scene of just Padme and Obi-Wan.It’s beautifully written,doesn’t feel like 10k at all for how you burn through it,and is such a deeply mesmerizing view of the characters,as well as being a deeply satisfying and ID pleasing threesome scene.This fic had me laid out on the floor feeling like I’d been clocked with a cinderblock,and takes me out every time I’ve reread it.
like a heathen (clung to homily) by jenmishe--13,486 words--Rated E--I love this fic not just for how extremely hot it is,but also for how truly funny and endearing of a read it is.Padme is such a fun and dynamic character in this story while Anakin is such a flaming disasterous mess,and it certainly doesn’t feel like 13k for how fast you delightedly burn through it.It’s sexy,it’s fun,but also it’s really heartfelt and a wonderful look at not just Anakin and Obi-Wan’s relationship, but Anakin and Padme’s as well.This fic,aside from the sexy times,gives me the warm fuzzies for how fun and playful a read it is.
Other Ships
Separate Ways by Pepper Prints (The Mandalorian/Luke Skywalker) 80,920 words--Rated E--I need you guys,and I mean really need,you to understand how much I fucking love this fic.This fic came highly recommended to me and Din/Luke wasn’t a ship that had crossed my mind,but let me tell you,it lives RENT FREE in my brain at all times now.This fic,is absolutely gorgeous and I turned around and reread it the day after I initially read it.The characterization for both Luke and Din is one of my absolute favorites and it’s a thousand kinds of arresting and endearing. I didn’t sleep the night I read it.I literally cried my eyes out and it’s not even sad,it’s just that loving and intimate and tender.This fic kicked me between the eyes and held me at gunpoint in a backstreet alley and now I don’t want anything else for these characters.The only thing I’ll say as a caveat for this story is that I do have some disagreements with how the Jedi are written,but I also think it’s easily written into Luke’s perception of them and how they are conceived after their demise.But that is not a hinderance of the fic’s worth,merely a sidenote for you guys with similar opinions of the Jedi as me.But I need every person I know to consume this fic so I can scream about it with others,because I don’t know if I’ve ever reached a finale scene in a fic and been so ready to have a full mental breakdown from the FEELS.
Sitrep: Tango Uniform by kaasknot (Bly/Aayla Secura)--8,143 words--Rated E-- I love this ship so so much and it honestly hurts my feelings there’s not more fics for it. (I say when I haven’t written anything for it yet.)I love the dynamic of Blyla and I really love the character voice that has developed for Bly within fandom and in fanfiction specifically. It’s incredibly fun and dynamic,and this fic is both wonderfully sexy and extremely funny.It’s bubbly and wonderfully gripping to read,with a good measure of situational humiliation to be absolutely delightful to me.
Flotsam and Jetsam by glimmerglanger (Cody/Obi-Wan)--53,831 words--Rated E (WIP)--I love all of glimmer’s Codywan fics,and theirs is probably my favorite for the ship,but this fic in particular has just clobbered me over the head with a brick.I am an absolute sucker for mermaid aus,why do you guys always gotta give me more kinks huh?But glimmer always does such a wonderful job of combining such intense pining for this pairing that I love.This fic is heartfelt and just breaks my soul in half from how wounded and scarred Obi-Wan is.It’s gorgeously written,a wonderful examination of Obi-Wan’s character,as well as a super fun and beautiful take on the mermaid trope.It’s ridiculously hot and just such a dynamic and enthralling read.
like a dark horse made of air by blackkat (John Antilles/Rex)--68,611 words--Rated E (WIP)-- Wondering who the hell John Antilles is?So did I,and after you look him up and give this fic a read you will be 100% ready to adopt this man.Blackkat is literally the only writer for this ship,be the change you want to see in the world,and it’s one you’ve never even conceived of but is all kinds of dynamic and interesting.This entire story’s premise is incredibly enthralling and is a great combination of time travel, excellent characterization of the clones,as well as a super super cool examination of the Jedi Order,but not just the main characters we see from the films.It also features a lot of Aayla,which is what drew me to the fic in the first place,with wonderful spotlights for characters like Quinlan Vos and Cody and Bly.

Current WIPs and Fic Concepts
I promised I would do this yesterday, and then I forgot!!! (I was very sleep deprived). Anyways, here are a bunch of the WIP premises that I have in my 'unfinished drafts' folder. Most have at least a few pages written for them, but I love them all! ☺️💕
- A Santa Clarita Diet AU (Jonsa) Takes place in sunny southern California, where a shitty dinner at a mediocre restaurant turns into a huge problem for Jon and Sansa when Sansa's heart stops beating. Although she seems fine, Jon is flabbergasted several days later as he watches his wife- who alphabetizes their pantry and refuses to let anyone wear shoes in the house- rip the throat out of one of the sleazy new partners at their law firm, eating half of him before anyone processes what's going on. Hilarity ensues as Sansa's inhibitions and filter disappear, Arya ropes an extremely confused Gendry into helping figure out what the hell is going on just because he moderates the zombie forum on reddit, and Jon tries to deal with the fact that the woman he loves more than anything is now a humanitarian. He really could use a drink. (This one is actually mostly complete, but i need to refine a few things- i really love it. It's as gory and irreverent as the show, so viewer discretion advised, but it's a BLAST to write).
- A Thor/MCU AU (Jonsa, Steve Rogers/Sansa)- Asgardian prince Aegon is banished to Midgard after one too many arrogant decisions, and is promptly hit by a van containing Dr. Sansa Stark, Dr. Barristan Selmy, and Margaery Tyrell- two astrophysicists studying wormholes and Sansa's best friend and pseudo-intern. Marg yells at him, he yells back, Sansa tases him, and Barristan didn't sign up for the kind of heavy lifting that getting a 200+ pound slab of muscle into the back of a van takes. And then Aegon's younger brother, Jon, shows up, in the middle of an identity crisis because, apparently, he's adopted. He wasn't intending to stay, but he's rather drawn to Dr. Stark and her brilliance, and against her better judgement, she starts to trust him, and maybe even like him. This story is in about three parts so far- the first is based on 'Thor' and the second on 'The Avengers' and are fully Jonsa, and the third started as a family bonding story between the Stark kids and Tony (Ned and Tony are second cousins, and Ned was really supportive of Tony in rehab without expecting anything in return), and accidentally turned into a Steve Rogers/Sansa Stark story, which is a pairing i am HERE for. A lot of this one is written, but it needs some fill in before publishing, although it's one of my favorites that i've written to go back and actually read.
- A Star Wars AU (Jonsa) where Sansa and Arya are Alderaanian princesses who are off planet when Alderaan is destroyed- Sansa as a senator and Arya as a pilot, both working for the rebellion, and jon is a smuggler who does not know how all of these people got on his ship and why two princesses are sassing him. His copilot, Tormund (yes he's a wookie), thinks it is hilarious. I started this one just the other day, and it's already thirty pages long, most of them involving Sansa and Arya sassing people. Dany is a leader in the rebellion, Roose Bolton is the emperor, and Barbrey Dustin is a disgruntled former jedi trying to live in peace on a remote planet until another Stark crashes into her life and harangues her into teaching again.
- A witches/magic AU (Jonsa) where the Starks run an apothecary and spellcasting supplies shop. Jon had been completely in the dark about magic before his mother confessed to being born into a family of witches. He finds himself traveling to her hometown, trying to understand her world more clearly, and what it means for him. On the way, he develops something of a crush on the red-headed shop clerk who brews the best headache potions in town. Featuring lots of magical shenanigans, this is one of my favorites in the folder :)
- A 24 hour diner AU (Jonsa) where Jon is a local mob boss, and Sansa works the late shift at Seaworth's diner to buy textbooks for the PhD she's working on in botany. Sansa's running from memories, and Jon has a soft spot for the red-headed waitress who always remembers how he likes his coffee.
- An East of the Sun, West of the Moon AU!!! (Jonsa) This is one of my fav fairy tales, and of course i couldn't resist Jon as a direwolf striking a deal with the starks!
- A Roomates AU (Jonsa)- Arya, Jon, Tormund, and Sam have been renting the same house together off Winterfell's campus for years- but when Sam moves in with his girlfriend, they need one more person on the lease. Sansa, about to relocate to Winterfell for grad school, finds out that her boyfriend has been cheating on her and that her housing plans have fallen through, all on the same day. Needless to say, she's a bit upset when she calls Arya to relay the news. There's a simple solution here, if Arya and Tormund can stop teasing Jon about his crush for five minutes. (any excuse to write tormund and arya roasting jon, tbh).
- A Fae AU (Jonsa)- When Sansa, a baker living in the city, washes her face in an enchanted spring on a camping trip, she gains the sight as a result. Suddenly able to see the fae underworld all around her is disorienting and terrifying. Sansa tries to conceal it- afraid of what might happen if the fae around her know that she can see them- but slips up, and catches the attention of Jon Snow- one of the lords of the unseelie court.
- A nuclear winter wasteland AU (Jonsa)- (?? I don't even know how to describe this premise, haha) where the Starks are living and running the Free Winterfell settlement in Siberia after a worldwide nuclear meltdown. Before the fallout, Sansa was one of the world's preeminent researchers in plant genetics and pathology, and works at the settlement to create newer, disease and radiation resistant crops to distribute for free to other settlements, aiming to break up the monopoly that Lannister Corp has on the market. Jon is a scavenger, searching throughout Siberia for his sister Rhae who disappeared several years previously. When he runs across Arya Starkovna, helping her fight off another band of radiation ravaged scavengers is just instinct- he doesn't think twice about it. In thanks, she brings him to the Winterfell settlement, where her brother Robb offers Jon sanctuary and resources, in exchange for serving as a bodyguard for Sansa when she travels to other settlements. Sansa is not particularly thrilled by this arrangement, but given that multiple parties seem to want her dead, she doesn't have much of a choice but to accept his company.
- A reincarnation AU (Jonsa)- of sorts. Robb is an archaeologist who finds a strange set of runes at a site up north, and immediately calls in Jon Snow- a historian and expert in said ancient language, as well as an old university friend of Robb's. When he arrives though, Robb shows him their most valuable finds- two mysterious ice blocks, with what appear to be perfectly preserved bodies from over a thousand years ago. No one could ever have imagined that either of them were still alive, but when the ice melts, revealing two very alive girls, the entire crew is instantly buried in NDAs, and given an assignment from the Westerosi government to figure out what the hell was going on. Sansa and Arya wake up, extremely confused about the world they live in, trying to adapt and mourning all that they've lost, even as the people around them wear familiar faces.
- Soulmates AU (Jonsa)- (Yes, another one, I love this dumb trope) Trauma surgeon and medical resident Sansa Stark is having a very bad day, and ends up meeting her soulmate during what she thinks is a mugging gone wrong. Fortunately, he’s not the one mugging her, just an intervening bystander, but she ends up slightly shot nonetheless. Sansa’s fretting about bleeding on the upholstery in his car, but Jon is a bit more worried about her injuries than the blood stains. He’s a bit confused when she threatens him if he takes her to a specific hospital, nearly has a nervous breakdown when she insists on doing her own triage, and is very charmed when she insists on ice cream after taking pain meds at the hospital. On Sansa’s part, she’s a little less concerned about being shot, and a bit more concerned about whatever weird first impression she’s making to her soulmate while high as a kite on pain pills. (this one just needs some tweaking to be postable- I'm not sure if it's going to be a oneshot or a series, but i love what I have already)
- A Demon/Archivist AU (Jonsa)- where Sansa works in the university's historical archives in Oldtown, and is learning to restore old texts with her fellow student and friend, Alleras (Trans Sarella is an amazing concept). When Joffrey Baratheon shows up with a pile of old books from his family's library to donate, Sansa is eager to get away from his sleaze, and accidentally takes one of the books home with her in her rush to leave. Unbeknownst to her, it's more than it appears, and when she leaves it open overnight, she accidentally summons forth Jon- an ancient, powerful, and extremely annoyed demon who is under a curse, and now hers to command. As Jon and Sansa try to get used to this new normal, the Lannisters (unaware that Joffrey had donated the tome) try desperately to find the book and it's owner, wanting Jon's power for themselves, and putting Sansa in considerable danger unless she can figure out how to break Jon's curse. Fortunately, she's a pretty good researcher, even if Jon is initially a bit of a grump. (This is based on a total wish-fulfillment mary-sue type premise for something I wrote when I was thirteen, and I revisited it and wanted to see what it would look like if i took it very seriously, and i am really enjoying it so far. It's a love letter to the terrible, heartfelt writing i was doing in middle school that created the foundations for my writing today, and so much fun).
The one that I am MOST excited about though:
- A Pacific Rim AU!!!! (Ned/Cat, Gendrya, Braime, Sansa/Jon Umber)-Twins Sansa and Robb Stark have always been completely in tune with each other, and when your parents are Jaeger pilots and your mother invented the neural handshake, what option is there but the Jaeger academy? Sansa studies to be an engineer, but ends up copiloting the Jaeger 'Winter Wolf' with her twin brother, after they lose Ned Stark to cancer. When Robb is ripped out of the conn-pod and killed by a kaiju while he's still connected to Sansa, she barely manages to kill the creature before stumbling back to shore, traumatized, grieving, and swearing that she'll never pilot again.
Unfortunately, the Kaiju don't stop just because Sansa does, and when the end of the world is imminent, Marshall Catelyn Stark orders both her daughter and former pilot Jaime Lannister (who lost his twin and copilot, Cersei, several years previously) back to Hong Kong for one final stand. Forced to face both her demons and an irate Arya, furious that Sansa had abandoned the rest of them after Robb's death, Sansa and Arya have to figure out how to pilot Winter Wolf together before the apocalypse comes for them all.
Featuring Marshall Catelyn Stark (commander of the Hong Kong Shatterdome, inventor of the neural handshake, former Jaeger pilot, and BAMF), Sansa x Jon Umber (Yes i know it's a rare pair but i've always kind of loved the idea of them, even though we know so little about him), Kaiju parts dealer and smuggler Petyr Baelish, bickering kaiju biologist Dany and theoretical mathematician Jon Snow, LOCCENT officer Theon, lots of snark, lots of angst and heartfelt conversations, and a weird friendship between snarky-grieving-asshole Jaime Lannister and kind-quiet-grieving Sansa Stark, who are the only two people in the world who know what it's like to lose a copilot and a twin in the drift.
Thanks for reading guys!! There are more, but some of them I just don't know how to explain quite yet, haha. I'd love to hear what you guys think about these!

Hi, hope you don't mind me asking this, but I saw a post about your two fandoms, and I just wanted to ask, do you think there is the same arguments across both fandoms just in a slightly different context, or do you think a lot of discourse is specific to the fandom itself? Do you think it's inevitable that in large fandoms, discourse occurs? I'm only in one so I genuinely don't know. Thanks.
Hi! This is a really interesting question.
I think the base elements of discourse will always be present in a fandom that grows sufficiently large. allow me to postulate a few categories of universal discourse:
- the various iterations of purity culture, whether it’s ‘how dare you find the villain character compelling!’, or ‘this content is too violent/sexual won’t you think about the hypothetical children’! No amount of tagging your work 18+ will save you from the crime of hypothetically traumatizing imaginary children. the P word will probably be thrown around (you know what I mean)
- there will be the ship wars, with the added recent development of desperately looking for ways the other person you don’t ship your fav with is morally bad, overusing terms like gaslight/abuse/manipulation/etc, so as to paint your rival ship and all its shippers as ‘problematic’ and morally in the wrong, character bashing, etc
- the people who seem to actually hate about 90% of the canon but stick around for the fanworks and just constantly rag on canon as it’s released and think anyone (also with an added ‘...and this is why it’s morally wrong!’ for the same reasons as above ship wars)
- the people who aren’t in the fandom at all but sort of flit around the edges just to flaunt how much smarter they are than the people who actually like it. these people just want to pride themselves on not liking something that is popular, and are incredibly annoying about it.
But I feel like each big fandom I’ve participated in has had at least one unique discourse element. Les Misérables has the war against the untagged Modern AUs. Star Wars has the, sigh, ‘the Jedi were secretly the actual bad guys all along and you’re a bad person for liking them’ discourse I refuse to ever participate in again. I don’t think any fandom has achieved the levels of cult recruitment that Harry Potter has. (What is it, 5 cults now?) I’m sure there’s some mess going on in Lord of the Rings somewhere, but I’ve been fortunate enough to avoid it.
Marvel I think is interesting because it’s so large that there are multiple factions, all with unique points that people argue about. Even in compared to Star Wars, which is also large and with many factions. But I think also the difference might have to do with time scale: MCU discourse has really only had 10 years to cram it all it, while SW has developed over the last 40. There’s been a higher concentration of course, with the recent Disney acquisition and all the problems that entailed (lol yes understatement of the decade), but I think because it’s all been so stretched out we only see one significant cycle of discourse at a time, whereas in the MCU they’re all happening at once. Constantly. Which can get exhausting.
I think my personal position in the two fandoms discourse is interesting. I have the general Star Wars discourse ban that dates from when the sequel trilogy anti stuff was getting really bad, and I found myself stuck in a sort of weird position on it...but since then I think I’ve found myself a niche where the discourse is more minimal and easier to avoid, excepting that one big sticking point that I refuse to discuss because the sides are so entrenched it’s useless and also frequently gets to a point that’s just fundamentally upsetting to me, so I just don’t do it. I have had some issues trying to avoid character bashing of some of my favs, because it’s gotten sort of bad lately and spilled over into the AO3 summaries/tags which I really hate...but then I just go back to doing whatever I want and not really caring about what anyone else thinks lol.
I don’t know why I feel more comfortable publicly commenting on MCU discourse. I think maybe I’ve just been more consistently participating in it over the last few years. I don’t know. I also just find it really interesting to break down sometimes, like when I made that post about the fandom and conspiratorial thinking, and if we were headed towards something like TJLC. It is an utter mess right now (like seriously especially the Loki side of the fandom, good god what a dumpster on fire we’re all hanging out in) - which also means it’s a lot harder to avoid, so I think maybe my coping mechanism here is to set an emotional distance by commentating and unpacking it, whereas with SW it’s just utter avoidance.
So yeah, the tldr: yes, I think once any fandom or piece of media gets sufficiently large and popular there will be certain points of discourse that inevitably crop up, and it’s interesting because one can be in multiple fandoms and have completely different responses to and ways of dealing with discourse.
Thanks for the ask! It was thought-provoking. (and apologies for the delay in answering!)

*crashes in* Okay but why aren’t there more not-abled (disabled? Is that a derogatory term now or can we still use it without getting mauled idek) Jedi in media? Like- whole concept of Jedi is MADE for protagonists who Aren’t Conventionally Abled.
I’m not talking aliens who have like- tentacles instead of hands here. I’m talking your conventional humanoid alien, like a human, twi’lek, togruta, whatever, who aren’t abled. I’m talking how amazing it would be to see characters like that who hAVE a Thing and that thing CAN and DOES cause them problems in a conventional sense but they’re still absolute badasses anyway, and part (but not all) of their badassery is the Force.
Give me deaf Jedi who can’t hear music or words or blaster fire, so it makes it hard to do the negotiation/conventional conversation thing without like- visual aids and datapads and stuff, but stick them in a rescue mission or a disaster relief zone and they can zero in on their goal perfectly because the Force leads them to the needed people/place, like following a deep, thrumming heartbeat that they can “hear” from miles away because to them the world is silence and the only “sound” is the Force itself and what they need from it.
Give me (more) blind Jedi who sense a world that is more vibrant and colorful than the seeing can ever understand, because they are limited by their eyes and narrow perception of colors rather than all the wonders and whispers and weaving threads of the galaxy’s life-force stretching out around them like galaxies within galaxies within galaxies.
Give me Jedi who have lost their sense of smell or touch during their reckless Padawan years, and maybe that’s not as “big” a thing in media as being blind or deaf, but there are still a ton of dangers to not being able to smell stuff like gas or smoke or being able to feel pain, so instead they are hyper-attuned to the Force in ways that compensate for That One Missing Thing.
Give me Jedi who have lost or were born without certain limbs and for whatever reason DON’T get the fancy prosthetics. Or they do and those prosthetics obviously have limits because of course they do but the Jedi push on anyway. Can you imagine though, a Jedi Master who was BORN WITHOUT ARMS? Because that’s a Thing that can happen in RL. Imagine a Jedi Master who uses the Force to levitate their lightsabers, to weave and dance through battle with blades that don’t nEED to be touched by conventional flesh hands or prosthetics (ngl but one of my fav baddies ever was that woman in Legend of Korra who used water bending to compensate for her total lack of arms, she was amazing and I wished she’d been a protagonist instead). Or Jedi who are have lost their legs.
Give me Jedi who have chronic pain issues, or hyper flexible joints (or both! Since those do happen together). Jedi who are born with conditions that mean they are always in pain, and the fancy acrobatics of their Order make them Even More So yet they are respected Jedi Masters in their own right because like heck was that going to stop them. Did they learn to subtly enhance themselves 24/7 with the Force to compensate? Did they learn or subconsciously start to use healing techniques on themselves whenever they push too far during their missions so they can keep going? Do they bolster themselves with the Force to Finish The Mission even knowing they will spend hours and days afterward taking pain meds and trying to meditate away the clicking, scraping ache in every joint and muscle as a result of their actions? Are there Jedi who subtly add knee braces and finger splints into their outfits or under their robes so they don’t fall down or drop things as often? Who knows! I just wanna see stuff like that.
Seriously, there’s a franchise where Cosmic Untold Powers of Time And Space are a Thing™ and yet 99.99% of the Jedi we see on screen or in comics or in fanfic are all fit, abled people who at best are missing a flesh hand in exchange for a metal one that never seems to give them phantom pains or horrible, nausea inducing aches during storms or when visiting worlds with high winds/humidity/barometric pressures.
If I wanna see Epic Abled Protagonist Who Gains Superpowers Number #94568765432 I’ll go watch a marvel movie or something.
*claps hands* Give. Me. Disabled. Badass. Space Monks.
Please.
#Secret Engima Rambles#star wars#jedi#disabled characters#seriously if disney is really set on mutilating all its franchises#in the name of being woke#then at least start including disabled characters#in your wokeness#AT LEAST MAKE IT WORTH OUR TIME#if not our money#because i doubt disney would do a disabled character any justic#but hey#it would be a start#and hopefully inspire more fanfic#that would actually research the disabilities#they give their ocs

Storm of the Republic
Chapter 21
AO3 Link | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | 7 | 8 | 9 | 10 | 11 | 12 | 13 | 14 | 15 | 16 | 17 | 18 | 19 | 20 | 21
——————————————————————————————
Summary: When Tup murdered General Tiplar during a battle, Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex dispatched Ahsoka, Fives, and Yara to solve the mystery that was plaguing the Clone Army. Meanwhile, Senator Padme Amidala contacted Commander Fox, Commander Tori, Riyo Chuchi, and Dipper to help her continue investigating the death of Palpatine, suspecting that Dooku was behind the evil plot. But when Dooku send an ISB agent to stop them, the team had to race against time to search for the truth, which could alter the course of the galaxy.
————————————————————————————
With their hands cuffed, Odd Eye could only blink towards the soggy ground as Tarot and Mina were sitting beside her, not saying a single word. “So, what do we do now?” Mina asked, trying to wrangle herself free. “How do we get out of here?”
The commander of the 666th Battalion turned towards Tarot with a stony expression on her face. “Can you shuffle the cards for us?”
Tarot turned to the other Mina, gesturing towards his utility belt. “Could you help me get my tarot cards? I don’t think I can reach them with those handcuffs around me.”
“Seriously?” the other Mina rolled her eyes, crossing her arms. “You were given two hands and a brain. At least utilise it.”
“I’ll give you a reading if you take my tarot cards for me.”
“Yes, vod,” she gave a nod, as she looked left and right and reached for his pocket, slowly taking out the deck of cards with her hands. As she handed it to him, Tarot glanced at Odd Eye, smiling. “So, what questions do you have for me, Commander?”
“Will we get out of this situation?” Odd Eye asked the deck, hoping she would get a yes as an answer.
He shuffled the cards for her, provoking no form of attention from the battle droids. They may have gotten hold of their blaster, but they will never take away his treasured possession that his late general had gifted.
As he finished shuffling the cards, he pulled out the Temperance card from the deck, which made him frown. “Oh dear,” Tarot bared his teeth. “I’m afraid I have bad news for you.”
She breathed in frustration. “Seriously? We’re not getting out of here? Did you even shuffle the cards properly?”
“Of course I did, commander,” Tarot insisted. “I’ve been doing readings for the entire battalion for years and I have never been wrong in my entire career, ever.”
“Entire career, my ass. No one has ever paid you to do a reading for them.”
“Well, I’m planning to become a professional tarot reader once the war is over. Besides, I could earn a lot of money for predicting other people’s future, you know.”
“The only thing you’re always fixated on is your future,” Odd Eye raised her voice. “Right now, we’re being captured by the Imps and that’s the only thing running in your head right now? How do you become an ARC Trooper with that kind of attitude?”
“Okay guys, let’s not argue too much,” Erina stepped in between them, squeezing both their hands. “Right now, we’ll have to think of a way to get ourselves out of this sticky situation. Can we work on this together?”
Before Odd Eye and Tarot could answer their general, two battle droids approached them, pointing their weapons in front of their faces. “Silence, Republic dogs, or we’ll shoot.”
The former could only smirk as she glanced at them, before pouncing on one droid and disarmed it, shooting both the droids with agility. Erina was speechless as watched the commander freed herself, before the latter tossed a blaster towards her. “What are you waiting for? This is our chance to take them down. Come on.”
“You’re insane,” the general remarked, as she shifted her focus towards Raul, who was trembling to himself. Pulling the trigger, she shot her partner’s handcuffs, making him exclaim through his throat.
“Makers, Eri. You could have killed me.”
“Just be grateful that you can fight. Now don’t just stand there. Grab something and fight those Imperial scum, goddamit.”
“Yes, dear,” Raul saluted as he jumped on a droid and stomped its head, snatching a blaster from its hands. The Imperials opened fire towards the clones, but the latter fought back with their combined strength and their brains, taking them down like what they did in their training simulation.
Mina got back her twin pistols and took down the Super Battle Droids, before moving on with the B1 units. Nygma and Beetle, on the other hand, collected some explosives from the droid’s camp and tossed them towards an army, making the ground shatter.
Watching the battle, Faven’s legs were shaking as Hyewon unlocked her handcuffs with a safety pin, before doing the same for Boil and Faven. “We should join the party,” the purple-haired clone gestured. “Come on, guys.”
“When did you learn how to pick locks?” Boil asked her. “I don’t even know how to do that.”
“I learned it from an escaped artist. He failed to escape from prison, though.”
“How ironic,” Faven snorted, tossing their weapons towards them. “But we have a job to finish and we don’t have time to loiter around like.”
The two of them nodded and joined the battle, gunning down their enemies swiftly. The droid army had called for reinforcement at their camp, but Boil could not care, for he was determined to win this minor battle. He was humiliated for getting ambushed by the Empire, and now, he is getting his sweet revenge against them.
“Hey, you three,” Mina pointed her fingers at Faven, Boil, and Faven. “Don’t just stand there and shoot. I need you all to sabotage their tanks right now. We need to everything we can to cripple those scumbags. Got it?”
“Yes, general,” Hyewon acknowledged, looking at her siblings. “How the fuck are we going to do that? We won’t even last for two seconds.”
“It’s easy,” Faven picked up three bombs from the box they carried moments ago. “We run towards them, plant them on the bottom of the tank, and run for safety. Understood?”
“I won’t fail you, pal.”
“That’s the spirit,” Boil cheered them up, as they brave themselves through the crossfire, avoiding every blast as they could.
Hyewon shielded herself from the attacks with her arms while Faven blasted the droids while running in the dark, hoping she could knock on a tree and die instantly. Meanwhile, Boil kept on sprinting towards the first tank, without looking back.
“I won,” he laughed, much to Faven’s exasperation.
“Not everything is a game, you know. For all we know, someone could die right now.”
“I love this game,” Hyewon smiled underneath her helmet, as she threw a bomb on the second tank, before winking at the former. “You can do it, Fav.”
She could only roll her eyes as she was the last one to finish her task given by the commander. Ducking behind the tree for safety, Faven covered her ears as three of the tanks blew up, sweeping away most of the droid army.
“Take that, you motherfucking clankers,” Boil screamed in joy as Hyewon cheered in a high-pitched voice.
“That is one hell of an explosion,” she bellowed. “I’ve never had this much fun since I beat someone in a poker game.”
But they spoke too soon. As the trio helped each other up, they were surrounded with reinforcements from the Imperials, prompting them to raise their hands in the air.
“Looks like we spoke too soon,” Faven said, deadpanned, as they were led back to the 666th and the 197th Battalion, who were forced to surrender.
Odd Eye stretched her lips wide, realising that she had to lose to the droid army for the second time in one day. “I can’t believe your deck is accurate.”
“I’m sorry, commander,” Tarot apologised. “Sometimes, I can’t always control the answers shown on my cards.”
“Looks like the concentration camps seem fun,” Raul showed his optimism, making Erina roll her eyes.
“You have to work to death in a concentration camp till you die, Raul. It’s not a delightful spot for vacation.”
“We shared the same blanket and you still can’t tell the difference between my normal voice and my sarcastic voice?” the general gasped dramatically. “That’s just absurd.”
“Are you using my words against me?”
“Well, I mean, you said that to me first, so it’s only fair if I-“
“Quiet, you too,” the B1 commanded. “Or we’ll shoot.”
Mina sighed in defeat when she watched the droid commander taken down, prompting her to turn around. The remaining members of the 212th Attack Battalion and the Coruscant Guards had arrived, with General Obi-Wan Kenobi And Commander Thire leading.
“My apologies for being late,” Obi-Wan greeted, as his troops moved into an attack position. “We were held back by the enemies on the beachfront.”
“No worries, General Kenobi,” smiled Erina. “You made it just in time.”
“Alright soldiers, let’s finish this battle and call it a day,” the soft-spoken Jedi ordered.
“Right away, sir,” Cody bobbed his head as they fired at the droids, sparing no one.

Hey if you have the time, what are some of your current fav ships and what are your fav things about them (their dynamic or a scene in canon or whatever) and some headcanons? I know this is might take some time to answer and I'm not sure you want to, but if you do thanks a lot. Im just curious. And yeah, just have a great day (:
Thank you for asking. I am allways happy to make extra long posts ;)
I had a hard time deciding how to start that post but decided to go with:
Cherik - X men
There are multiple reasons why this ship means the world to me and will be allways close to my heart.
First, at all I grew up with the xmen movies. Cuddled up with my best friend, in her bed, watching the old x men movies (xm1 to 3) until 2 o’clock in the night. It is a feeling like coming home. And the underlying queer theme allways attracted me.
Second: I am a sucker for the enemies to lover trope. It is this amazing thing that no matter how much they “hate” each other, or how long they have not seen eachother, or how deeply they hurted eachother if one one of them is in danger the other one will allways run and save the other one. This is love imo
Also they are as canon as they could be in Hollywood. My headcanon for young!Cherik is similar to the one Michael Fassbender has for them. They are married, doing a fishing trip around the whole world, to come back at the end to Genosha raising, teaching and carrying for a new generation of mutant kids.
For old Cherik: They are happily living together in the school, due to the utopia Wolverine created in Days of future past. Magneto is probably teaching the kids mechanics
And there are allready rumors that Marvel wants to recast them. If they will touch our happy Cherik ending with their rotten hands i will riot!
Stormpilot - Star Wars
Yeah i still use that name. Because i am on this boat since the beginning. It is a little bit damaged but still sailing so this is my happy ship.
I was never a big Star Wars fan but these two dudes made me fall in love with Star Wats because even before i realized i was queer i knew this ship was special and make history, in one way or another. And we did, didn’t we? We are now taken seriously. Shipping is not a “ugly” fangirl thing anymore but people start to realize taht it is also a scream for representation. But we still have to go a long way
I love that this kind of a “love at the first sight” thing (at least for Poe). And that they have an instead chemistry with eachother. I was sitting in TROS and smiling like an idiot everytime they were on screen and cried buckets when they were both single and together in the end. They treat eschother well and have a deep respect for eachother. There is no macho behavior just pure friendship with a lot of gay tension. Every scene with them in TROS was a blast. And i am sure Finn is now slowly realizing he is love with Poe as well. Poe gives Finn his ring. Finn finds out he is a long lost prince and learns jedi tricks. And then they marry. And adopt a lot of droids children!
They are my hope. And they will be my first tattoo.
Phrack (Phryne x Jack) - MFMM
One of the few straight ships i actively ship. They are so damn well written. There is nothing toxic about their relationship. And the slow burn tension is killing you slowly. How they care for eachother without Jack being Phrynes savior. And how Phyrne allways gets calm perfect Jack irritated is so cute.
Also the moments where Phyrne is teasing Jack or Jack calls Phryne “Phryne” instead of “Miss Fisher” like he normally does. And that Jack is ready to learn how to accept gay people and working independent women through Phryne is beautiful.
No headcanons here. I just want to watch the upcoming movie “Miss Fisher and the crypt of tears” that explains what happenes directly after the season 3 finale.
Give! Me! That! Movie! Now!
Keyla x Joann - Star Trek Discovery
There is not too much to say about them. I just hope they will be canon. They didn’t had much screentime yet but everytime they are together it feels like they are dating since years. And Keyla is confirmed bisexual. I hope we will see them together in season 3. If not i will just keep on pretending that they got married at the end, adopted a lot of space kitten and live their best lives as speca wIw.
Also the are holding hands in that scene above, fight me!
Michael x Tilly - Star Trek Discovery
Nothing better then space wIw pairings.
I like how they deeply care for eachother and Tilly was ready to accept Michael even though she was an outcast. And Michael was ready to accept Tilly even though she normally can not deal with talkactive people.
Tilly helped Michael a lot to express her feelings while Michael helped Tilly to fight for her dream as a Captain.
Also they canonly hold hands multiple times. They are so soft around eachother. I am so ready for season 3.
Sherlock x Joan x Marcus - Elementary
I actually ship them in every variation (because above all Johnlock) but here i make an expactation. The deep care they have for eachother. They had a few problems at the start but if someone feels bad now, both are ready to help that person. Joan is constantly checking on Marcus personal live, and lives with Sherlock anyway, while Sherlock constantly looks out for Joan and Marcus and looks that they find happines. And Marcus has thought multiple times about moving in with Sherlock and Joan.
While Sherlock doesn’t really liked to be touched both Joan and Marcus have iconic hug scenes with Sherlock. And after Joan and Sherlock find out that Marcus will move to a new job they both do everything they can so Marcus will be successful, The epsiode ends with Sherlock looking at Marcus for a really long time, smiling like a love sick dork, while he lefts with “ It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright now, I’m fine with how it all went down “ playing the background.
I haven’t watched season 7 yet but with Marcus risking his career for both Joan and Sherlock i hope he will finally moves in with them.
Honorable mentions to my fav ships forever:
Nomanita - Sense8
The lesbian crime fighting duo every show deserve. They only know pure love and support for eachother.
And i send a flip flop to netflix to see them getting married. Yeah i am that extra sometimes
Johnlock - EVERY univserse
Just because!
And the “i just discovered it”-ship:
Geralt x Jaskier - The witcher
They are so dumb. It is amazing. I hope Jaskier finds a nice boyfriend in the next seasons. Or gets to kiss Geralt. Because he definitly wants to
I hope this list satisfied you. I am allways happy to make more.
Have a great day as well
#cherik#finnpoe#phrack#jack x phryne#geralt x jaskier#johnlock#nomanita#keyla x joann#michael x tilly#sherlock x joan x marcus#sense8#x men#star wars#the witcher#elementary#star trek discovery#mfmm#anon

immj2 16.11.20 lb
chanchal interrogating ishani, ki did riddhima spill about what happened that day. ishani like no dice, but imma beat it outta her so help me goddddd.
aryan coming throwing shit around. coz vansh has left everything in his will to dadi. thank fuckkkkkkkkkkkkkk. none of you snakes are worth 5000 cr. i mean, ishani is, but idk, maybe not that whole amount at once.
ishani is like THANK THE LORD, VANSH HAD AT LEAST ONE WORKING BRAIN CELL. “kahin uss riddhima ko nominee banaa dete, toh humaare sar par chadhke tandav karti woh.” snort.
chanchal telling aryan ki “vansh ke baad saara business toh tuney hi sambhaalna haina”, and lmaoooooooooooooooooooooooo ishani’s face:
i honestly love her the most. MAKE HER THE NEW KING OF THIS EMPIREEEEEEEEEEE. SHE DESERVESSSSSSS IT.
ishani saunters off and chanchal is telling aryan ki anyway dadi ke haath laga hai sab, she’ll write it all to you; coz siya is in a coma, who knows when the fuck she’ll wake up, and ishani is walking talking TNT ka khaaaaan, that’ll blow up any second now. tujhe hi sab milna hai. lol bohut hi zyaada khushfehmi. can’t waitttttt for vihaan (whether he turns out to be vansh or not.......) to come show them thenga.
some parcel came outta nowhere for mummyji and it’s filled with all the stuff of her “long lost son who got kidnapped”. veryyyyyyyy conveniently opened by riddhima.
mummy has started filmfare nom-worthy performance on discovering the relics.
there’s a letter too! basically says i kidnapped your kid for money, but when you didn’t pay up, i threw him in a river. i’m confessing all this coz i’m now dying of cancer and want redemption. sounds to me like someone watched both ‘the prince of egypt’ and ‘badlapur’ in one day and did a mashup of those stories to write this letter.
watch out meryl, viola, jodie.......... mummy has gone beyond filmfare and is now doing OSCAR worthy performance about how she keeps losing kids.
lmao i am aryan, watching this nautanki:
mummy like it’s all coz i neverrrrrrrrrrrr accepted riddhima as a motherrrrrrrrrrr, mujhe maaaf kar dooooo.
of course riddhima’s dumb ass forgave her. god, this chick just tooo easy to scam.
someone’s come to say “final goodbye”. coz he’s taken a transfer. sure.
lmao riddhima is the biggest mood when dealing with an ex who just won’t leave you the fuck alone.
is it just me or has his hair become more........... vansh-y??? like, height-wise.
blah blah he wants to apologize to everyone........... for what exactly? he said he was just doing his job, why to say sorry for that??
lmao ishani has appeared and is ready to kick kabir’s ass. omfg i think this might be my new fav dynamic of this show, ishani v/s kabirrrrrrrrrrr.
RIDDHIMA DOING NOTHING TO STOP HER ALSO, LMAOOOOOO
whole family has appeared and he’s like sorry kehne aaya tha and all and THENNNNNNNNNNN....... NAZAR PADI ON THE TABLE FULL OF ARTIFACTS.
anupriya like don’t touch my son’s shit and........
“yeh sab mere hain!!!!!!!!!”
hahahahahahahhahahahaha ishani is truly my absolute favourite character of this show from now on.
“maaaaaaaaaaaa?????? iska matlab aap meri maa hain??????” lol bohut hi bhadddda actingggg.
riddhima agrees with ishani.
kabir narrates exact story mummy did like 5 min back.
he’s giving proof ki i know the collar of this uniform has a K behind it and everyone’s shockedddddddddd ki oh god yet another middle class orphan is gonna make their way here
wow the terrible acting from mummy and beta is just.......... peak today. i can’t take it.
my question is, kabir has come to this house and seen anupriya a million times before, it never clicked for him then????? anupriya looks to be baaaarely in her 40s, she wouldn’t have looked much different when she was younger. why didn’t he recognize her then. SOMEONE USE YOUR BRAIN AND ASK HIM THAT. ISHANI, ARYAN, SOMEONE?!!!?!?!
ok ishani didn’t ask that but she’s like that kid was thrown into a river, i’m pretty sure he’s dead. and kabir doing extra naatak ki yes, i was thrown into the river but a policewaala saved me and raised me and that’s why i’m police now.
ugh itnaaa sasta acting lol.
high time this pinky and the brain team up and take the rest of these fuckers downnnnnnnn.
lmao riddhima is soooooooooooooo angry rn. she didn’t even get this mad when her fucking husband paralysed her. that’s just how much petty hatred male exes deserve. the fact that that their bitch ass is even alive and wasting oxygen on the damn planet is fucking unacceptable.
OMFG MUMMY BETA ARE LEGIT WHISPERING INTO EACH OTHER’S EARS WHILE HUGGING, GIVING SHABAASHI ABOUT THIS BRILLIANT PLAN. IN FRONT OF EVERYONE. SERIOUSLY, YOU COULDN’T WAIT TILL YOU WERE ALONE???????????????????/
“kamaaaaal ki acting, KAMAAAAL KI ACTING!” lmaoooooooooooo honestly, this show would be fucking unwatchable if not for vishal cheesing it up in every other scene and making it so damn hilarious. kabir played by anyone else would never be this likable. his dialogue delivery of these lines is just A+
lmao he’s hamming some more about how he’s been searching for his mom allllll his life and today he’s leaving the city and finally found her.
LITERALLY EVERYONE ELSE AROUND THEM HAS A FACE LIKE SOMETHING WITH 8+ LEGS CRAWLED ACROSS THEIR DINNER PLATE. IT’S SO HILARIOUSSSSSSSS.
he’s like mom, come with me, and she’s like “tum yehi ruk jao!” and omfggggggg the reactionsssssssssssss:
“ab yeh bhi yaheen rahega?????” alkjdsalkjdlaskjdlaskj chanchal’s no filter ways really come in handy sometimes.
kabir’s like no no mom will come with me. starts leading her out and dadi is like no anupriya is a part of this family and will not leave. and if you can live here in this house................... riddhima will decide that. lmao this should work out well.
kabir trying to jedi mind trick her.
even ishani is pleading in her mind, please riddhima no kehnaaaaa. aaaaaand....
“haan.” great.
big mood.
lmao booooooo, the amount of shit you get away with just coz you’re so stinkin’ cute. you’re exactly like my asshole cat son. just worming your way into my heart by the power of your adorable faces, you absolute bastardssssssss.
oh of course. she had this conversation with vansh, about if mummy ever found her son, he’d like to welcome him into this family as his brother. sentiment mein aakar haan keh diya. BITCH HE DIDN’T KNOW THAT IT WAS GONNA TURN OUT TO BE YOUR EX WHO WAS HAATH DHOKE BEHIND HIS GODDAMN LIFE. IF HE DID, HE WOULDN’T HAVE THOUGHT TWICE BEFORE PULLING THAT UGLYASS GOLDEN GUN ON HIM AND SHOOTING HIM BETWEEN THE EYES.
this is a sweet scene and all but dude how the fuck am i supposed to overlook the fucking ugly beetlejuice suit. if i never have to see this godforsaken garment ever again, it’d still be too soon.
also jesus, were you a goddamn kid just 10 years ago, COZ HOW ELSE THE FUCK DO YOU HAVE A MINION WATERBOTTLE FROM YOUR CHILDHOOD?!!?!?!?!! OH GOD YOU GUYS, IS VANSH JUST 19 YEARS OLD OR SOME SHIT, AND THE BEARD AND THE VOICE THREW US OFF INTO THINKING HE’S 30?!?!?!?!?!!?! OH MY GOD, I FEEL LIKE A PEDO NOW. 28 IS MY LIMIT ON HOW YOUNG I’LL GO FOR WHEN I LUST AFTER SOMEONE.
anyway i’m fwding this scene so that my mind won’t dwell on these horrible possibilities. and that horrible fucking outfit.
lmao riddhima is like kaash tum yahaan hote, tum bhi yehi karte. snort, okaaaay sis.
“tumhari riddhima hoon main. aur hamesha wohi karoongi, jo agar tum hote toh karte.” ok everybody start monitoring your drinks from now on. pata nahi kab kya mila de yeh madam vansh 2.0.
ishani is, how you say................ LOSING IT.
ahahahahahahahahahaha aryan, who's going to town on the punching bag, is like i already picture him here, hence the vigorous mid-day cardio.

So I Watched The Rise of Skywalker And Liked It
(Review/spoilers under cut)
Let’s get the bad parts out of the way: This movie was kind of a clusterfuck, too many ideas without enough time, but it was pretty good for a disaster. Finn deserves more than he was given, like actual training. I hated the r*ylo kiss. The whole Hix thing went nowhere and I wasn’t impressed. Too many gore-y deaths. Some parts were ridiculously convoluted. They cut Anakin stuff. The finnrey bond was too one sided.
Oh, and there were too many new minor characters I guess.
Now, onto what I did like, which was most of it!
- I didn’t think the Kylo redemption would work for me, I really didn’t. But you know what? Besides the kiss, it did! Ben didn’t get a happy ending, he got a chance to do the right thing and HE FINALLY TOOK IT, even though it deservingly cost him his life. So no, I still don’t ship r*ylo, but yes, I accept the Ben redemption (Kylo will remain my primary Ben tag, however.)
- “I’m Rey. Rey Skywalker.” With the ghosts of the Skywalker twins behind her was one of the best parts of the movie. And it came with a live action golden lightsaber, which is awesome and I love it. Chosen family is chosen for a reason, and now Skywalker really is more symbol than lineage, as it should be.
- On the note of the above two points, my mom has been going on and on about the old EU and Leia’s twins and you know what? I much prefer thinking of r*ylo as a sort of twins/in parallel platonic relationship than a romantic one, so I’m glad Kylo is dead and I can ignore the unnecessary kiss.
- Leia. LEIA! Her footage really did fit this movie so well. And even if I hate how her death was used to push Ben/Kylo through his arc, I did love seeing her train Rey and train as a Jedi, herself.
- Poe is my fav and there was so much good Poe stuff in this. Seeing his arc which started in the comics as he goes from pilot to, well, THE leader. I loved getting his backstory and it really makes me want to know why/how he got involved in the spice trade between quitting the Republic navy and joining the Resistance. He had great banter with Rey and great moments with Finn and I now firmly hc him as bi but that’s kinda unrelated.
- Okay I talked a bit about Rey already but, uh… Rey Skywalker! Who is biologically a Palpatine. Which actually works really well, putting her in full parallel with Kylo/Ben. There’s an element in both of trying to reject their family but you can accept where you come from and still make different choices, as Rey did.
- Finn getting to meet fellow defecting stormtroopers was amazing, but not as much as a confirmed Force Sensitive Finn! He deserves it and maybe he didn’t get as much as he deserves, but he got some damn good moments and is obviously in love with Rey.
- Speaking of in love with Rey, I will continue to ignore unnecessary kisses or almost kisses and OT3 WAS ENDGAME ALL ALONG CAN YOU BELIEVE? Seriously the trio stuff was so good here, from how much Finn cared about Rey to Poe’s rivalry-type friendship with Rey, strained by the demands of a second in command and a Jedi in training. Finn and Poe just… being so naturally close to each other. It was all SO GOOD! Found family is best family.
- The final scenes, when everyone showed up and when Rey heard the voices of past Jedi, legit broke something in me it was so amazing. I was so amazed by all of that history building up to this moment and I loved it.
- Lando and Luke traveling together - that’s gay. I love it and this made me happy.
- The scene on what’s-it-called from TLJ was amazing in its inverses and Luke is back! My Luke! The good Luke! It actually explains a lot to know that he recognized her as related to Palps, why he was so worried last Film. But now he trusts her and “a thousand generations live in you now.” Have I mentioned found family?
In summary… I actually think this movie was pretty good.
#star wars#the rise of skywalker#tros spoilers#rey of jakku#leia organa#kylo ren#anti reylo#rebelfinn#poe dameron#Lando Calrissian#skyrissian#Luke Skywalker#jedistormpilot#finnrey#hc angster#flaim watches star wars#folks please give this movie s chance

hi! firstly, I LOVE your writing. seriously, I've read stuff by you for fandoms that I'm not even in, it's that good. (also your original work is so interesting!) secondly, I'd just like to let you know that based on your recommendation, I've started reading the Kencyrath and it's becoming one of my fav series. the wordbuilding, the language style, Jame the disaster queen of my heart ... all superb. thanks for bringing this series to my attention! it deserves more love :)
Hi!!!! Welcome to the fandom! There are like twelve of us now! I love meeting new fans!
God! I can’t believe I’ve actually convinced people to read these books, I’m used to having really impassioned conversations that get me Exactly Nowhere, I’m absolutely goddamn delirious with delight about this.
Jame is my best beloved high-int-low-wis character and if you are interested in hearing me wax giggly about it and enjoy podcasts, may I recommend the podcast I do with my mom! We try very hard to be spoiler-free and are now available on Many Platforms, you can skip the first episode if you’re already reading the books, and the audio improves drastically a couple episodes in once we figured out how the hell to...do audio. Also there isn’t a LOT of fic but what there is, is broadly speaking pretty good (there’s like...forty fics. Maybe fifty.)
On that note, Idk how far through the books you are, so I’m going to leave this vague, but I’m still thinking a lot about that Star Wars AU ft Jame as Luke Skywalker and Tori as Leia Organa (their personalities are obviously somewhat swapped from the Skywalker twins, so you get a composed and controlled politician and a spitfire Jedi) and Kindrie as a much more haplessly kind-natured Han Solo.
Come on, I want Jame to have a lightsaber!!!! Give my girl a lightsaber and Force powers!!!!!
#kencyrath#chronicles of the kencyrath#jame priest's bane#HI!!! HELLO!!! I'M SO DELIGHTED THAT I'VE ACTUALLY BEEN CONVERTING PEOPLE!!!#GOD I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS IS THE REAL LIFE!!!!#anyway yes give jame a lightsaber and the force and turn her the fuck LOOSE!#if you're early on that au won't make much sense but TRUST ME#TRUST YA BOY#i should write it#a queue we shall keep and our honor someday avenge#meregalaxiesandgods#asked and answered

Do them all. Suffer as I did 😂
Bitch I told you this was our friendship. We force each other to answer all the questions.
1. selfie
Well… I wasn’t dubbed Selfie Queen for nothing…
This one is interesting bc I have zero makeup on. The most recent ones are too blurry. A lot of my fav selfies are full faces of makeup tho.
2. what would you name your future kids?
I feel like that’s a decision for both parents but I really like the names Felicity, Isabella and Dimitri. Yes, all of them are names from various franchises I enjoyed throughout the years. Be glad I’m out of my phase where I thought Vladimir was a good name.
3. do you miss anyone?
I miss all my friends I don’t get to see frequently. Love all of y’all and hope y’all are doing well in life!
4. what are you looking forward to?
Fucking graduating. Jesus Christ it’s taken me five damn years.
5. is there anyone who can always make you smile?
From my club it’s Chris, Yara and Josephine. Also my entire friend group from back home. Honestly I love my friends so much.
6. is it hard for you to get over someone?
I feel like every situation is different so that’s a tough question to answer.
7. what was your life like last year?
I honestly don’t remember much from December of last year. It was a good time though.
8. have you ever cried because you were so annoyed?
I’m an emotional bitch. I’ll cry over anything. I cried over fucking Mulan the other day.
9. who did you last see in person?
My parents and brother. Earlier in the day my club.
10. are you good at hiding your feelings?
I’m shit at it. My face gives away everything. The other day my professor was going into her inspiration porn narrative and I just gave her a cold dead look the entire time.
11. are you listening to music right now?
No but I have the Hamilton soundtrack stuck in my head right now since that’s what I was last listening to. If you haven’t heard it I highly suggest it. Man I wanna see it so badly.
12. what is something you want right now?
Sleep but I’m trying not to throw off my sleep schedule right now and am waiting a bit before going to bed. I only got three hours of sleep last night so that’s fun.
13. how do you feel right now?
Kinda tired. Relieved that I got two service projects in a row done today. It’s been a long weekend.
14. when was the last time someone of the opposite sex hugged you?
My friend Sebastian hugged me when I dropped him off. I guess that counts.
15. personality description
I’m a makeup loving nerd who enjoys sitting in pajamas watching anime and superheros as much as she enjoys swatching EVERY lipstick in Sephora. According to my friends I can’t go 5 seconds without mentioning how old I feel and my love for Dungeons and Dragons. I’m also an asshole. (Wow this sounds like a 12 year old writing this)
16. have you ever wanted to tell someone something but you didn’t?
Yeah tons of times. It’s bitten me in the ass. Oh well live and learn I guess?
17. opinion on insecurities.
Everyone has them? If they say they don’t then they are lying. Mine is mainly related to my appearance or how I speak.

21. age and birthday?

22. description of crush.
I don’t have a hardcore crush right now. More like 5 second crushes that are over the second they do something I don’t like.

AU - The Jedi say "The Padawan Chooses The Master" Qui Gon lives, Obi Wan is very preoccupied, and Anakin is put into the creche as an Initiate to learn what he can until Qui Gon wakes up from his coma and gets yelled at by the Council. In the meantime, Anakin meets other Jedi Masters and when the Council asks him who he wants to be his teacher, his answer isn't Qui Gon. Instead it's *insert your fav Jedi here*
My Friend, I both hate you and love you for this prompt. Because I am so very very torn. But let me give it a go.
Naboo is a debacle. No one debates that. Qui-Gon Jinn comes back to the Temple barely alive, accompanied by his Padawan - the first Jedi in a millenia to have slain a Sith - and the powerful young boy they found on Tatooine.
At first they wait - while Obi-Wan Kenobi is considered more than deserving of Knighthood, they hold out hope that Qui-Gon will wake and perform the ceremony himself, and take Anakin on as he originally intended. It is not to be.
Obi-Wan is knighted and sent off on missions, Anakin remains in the creche - as Qui-Gon lives, it seems presumptuous to have any other Jedi take him on. But Qui-Gon may never wake, and so the more senior Masters take it upon themselves to get a feel for the too-powerful boy. Just in case.
Months later, Qui-Gon wakes.
He is in no shape to do anything more than argue with the council, but he is awake. Still, the matter of Anakin Skywalker is put off a little longer, until Qui-Gon is in a better position health wise. Besides, while he is not completely at ease in the ranks of the initiates, Skywalker has settled in somewhat - it will do no harm to wait a little longer. And it also gives some of them a bit more time to try an mitigate Jinn’s eventual bad influence.
A year after Naboo, the council requests the presence of Initiate Skywalker. The boy who faces them is so very similar and yet so very different from the child they interviewed a year earlier. Still far from emotionally balanced, but much less fearful. After all, by this stage he knows them all somewhat, and he has begun to accept that he is not going to be turned out - over the last year it has become very apparent that he cannot remain untrained, and as such the Creche Master had taken the time to explain the notion of a Padawan accepting a Master.
(They will never know how how much that notion affects Anakin. Because what slave chooses their own Master?)
And so they ask him. “Who would he choose as his Master?”
And Anakin is torn. Because this is a huge decision, and he knows it. Never before has he had the power to CHOOSE. He has to do this right. Qui-Gon Jinn freed him and brought him to the Temple. He is Anakin’s hero. It would make sense to accept him. And yet... What of the other Masters?
What about Master Billaba, who so patiently walked him through the First Forms when he worried about being so far behind his classmates? Or maybe Master Fisto, who laughs and smiles and pats him on the head and tells him not to worry, he will get the trick in time - has he considered a moving meditation, like this? Or even Master Windu, who is stern and forbidding, but UNDERSTANDS the anger that coils in his chest? And Master Koon - he’s kind and an absolutely WIZARD pilot. What should he do?
But Anakin Skywalker is a child of the Force. And all of the Masters he has encountered over the last year have told him the same thing. So he reaches out and...
The council watches as the boy raises his head and looks up at them with an unassailable sense of certainty.
“I’m sorry Masters, but I can’t choose. Not yet. It’s not the right time.”
And it takes everything in him not to back down in the face of Qui-Gon’s sadness and the Council’s impatience, but Anakin stands firm.
The Force is speaking to him. Loud and clear.
“Not Now.”
In the end it is Yoda who breaks up the raucous arguments with a few firm taps of his gimmer stick. If the Force tells young Skywalker that now is not the time then so be it. The boy is still younger than the average new padawan, and still has some catching up to do. There is no hurry. Let him remain in the creche they shall, until the time is right.
And so they do. Except Anakin’s little demonstration along with the general increased interaction during Qui-Gon’s convalescence means that several of the Council members are seriously considering the merits of taking him on themselves. And Qui-Gon? He is determined to regain little Ani’s regard.
You can imagine the result. Anakin Skywalker becomes the envy of his classmates, as multiple senior masters court him to be their padawan. Plo Koon in particular seems to take great delight in tweaking Qui-Gon’s ire by allowing Anakin to learn to pilot the Temple ships, and Mace has spent a lot of time showing Anakin how to control his darker impulses. Kit sneaks him sweets but both he and Depa have the suspicion that they are not seriously in contention. Ironically all the attention has done wonders for his attachment issues.
Still, every time he is asked if he is ready to take a Master, Anakin will close his eyes and reach into the Force, before saying. “No. Not yet.”
Incidentally, his lack of Master has very much impeded the Chancellor’s efforts to spend time with the boy alone. After all, a Padawan is very different from an Initiate from a Jedi perspective - one is considered a semi-adult capable of assisting in basic mission duties while the other is not. The Chancellor may be their direct superior, but even he cannot order them to facilitate private audiences with a CHILD under their care. For now, he must make to with infrequent and supervised visits in which he must take care not to overstep the role of a genial man interested in the welfare of the child who saved his planet.
It infuriates him.
But anyway.
Time passes, and Anakin’s classmates start to dwindle, as they are either apprenticed (Anakin feels smug at having facilitated one of two of the matches - having Knights and Masters watching him keenly means he can try and push others in direction the Force suggests) or drawn towards alternate pathways. Anakin is nearing thirteen years of age, and he knows the time for a decision is coming soon.
But there are things he needs to make sure are in place first. Luckily, he knows who to speak to about that.
“Time then, it is, Young Skywalker?”
“Yes Master Yoda.”
“Hmm. Certain, you are?”
“Yes Master Yoda.”
“Good. Done well, you have, to follow the Force in this. Who is it, you have chosen?”
Anakin tells him.
And the old Jedi starts cackling.
It is not long after that Anakin Skywalker stands before a large crowd of Knights and Masters (Because this? The apprenticeship of Initiate Skywalker? This is going to be the thing of temple legends and NO ONE wants to miss out.) and asked who he would take as his master.
And Anakin Skywalker looks his choice straight in the eye as he speaks their name.
Obi-Wan Kenobi nearly faints there and then.
.
Let’s take a step back.
When Obi-Wan Kenobi first accompanied his comatose Master back to the Temple, he had been consumed by their last conversation. The one in which he had promised Qui-Gon to train the boy. Except, those were obviously the words of a man who thought himself dying, and Qui-Gon still LIVED. When the council decides to put Anakin into the creche until things are more certain, Obi-Wan is so RELIEVED. Because while he would if he had to, Obi-Wan doesn’t feel READY to take a padawan just yet, not while he is still processing the end of his own apprenticeship, and Anakin is meant for Master Qui-Gon - Obi-Wan would never wish to steal that role while the possibility remains that the man will wake one day.
Still, he made a promise. And there are many ways to teach.
So Obi-Wan makes an effort to check in on Ani, make sure he’s settling in ok. It’s a big culture shock for the boy from Tatooine, and Obi-Wan does his best to help explain some of the things Temple raised initiates take for granted. Anakin’s glee when he finally gets the hang of something is infectious, and Obi-Wan finds himself enjoying the time they spend together.
When he starts taking missions as a Knight, Obi-Wan makes the effort to farewell Anakin every time he leaves, and if he can, brings him back some toy or trinket from wherever he ends up. Nothing major, but Anakin has often expressed his desire to visit every world in the galaxy one day, and he gets so excited even if all Obi-Wan has to show him is a rock he found while running for his life from upset dignitaries...
Obi-Wan thought his missions might be less exciting now he wasn’t partnered with the most infuriating diplomat in the Order. He was wrong.
When the Masters begin paying more attention to Anakin it is Obi-Wan he contacts for reassurance he is doing the right thing. After all he is listening to the Force, but what if he’s listening wrong? And Obi-Wan tells him he’s doing fine, to follow his instincts, and sorry he has to go now due to potential pirates, but maybe to take time with each of them to work out how well they connect, just in case the Force changes its mind? And it is Obi-Wan who tells him he should just confess about the incident with the door chimes, and reassures him that no one will hate him over the accident with the speeder.
As time goes on, Obi-Wan becomes known in the Temple as the BEST source of information on the Skywalker Situation, because he has THE most up to date gossip on what Masters Jinn and Windu have decided to challenge each other with this time, or which Knight has decided to throw their hat into the ring most recently, only to find the kid too much to deal with. Obi-Wan finds himself feeling a little protective over Anakin, rolling his eyes at the latest stuff up on the part of Ani’s potential masters, and during one of his morning meditations he comes to the startling realisation that he is well and truly Attached to his young friend.
Well then.
So of course when it comes time for Anakin to make his final decision, Obi-Wan Kenobi puts on his best face and mentally tries to work out which master will have the honour of training the Chosen One. The selfish part of him hopes it’s not Qui-Gon. He adores his former Master, but time has convinced him that he would be a poor match for Anakin. And he wants what is best for the boy.
Maybe once Anakin is safely matched to a Master of his own Obi-Wan might consider the merits of a Padawan himself. Certainly he is feeling a lot more confident in his skills that he was a few years earlier...
But then Anakin gives his name.
His.
Obi-Wan Kenobi.
So many faces are turned to face them and he can feel them all asking “Why him?” and he doesnt have an answer and...
Anakin is looking at him. Waiting. For his response.
His heart gives him his answer, but he has to be SURE this is the boy’s decision.
“Why now Anakin?”
And Anakin smiles, bright and sure.
“Because you weren’t ready before.”
Oh.
Obi-Wan Kenobi laughs then, in joyous wonder and kneels to look the boy (his student!) in the eye.
“In that case, Anakin Skywalker, I would be honoured to be your Master, if you would agree to become my Padawan.”
And the Force sings.
~~~
I hope you’re not too disappointed! I was tempted to write a Plo Koon is Anakin’s Master AU, but in my heart of hearts, I just can’t keep the Team separated! :)

I like that many of the complaints I see pull on stuff from books and comics and such and how the movies dont answer any questions (which if you've read things you got your answers right?) ..... where as me who has not gotten to read a single SW comic or book and has just seen the shows and movies has .... no problem filling in info.
Leia is able to save herself because .... oh yeah in The Clone Wars a Jedi also goes out into space, utilizes the force, and fights droids.... without any sort of protection covering his body and blatantly states "I can withstand the pressure for a brief time". Now, I have always - and still do - take that as him using the force not because of his physiology. He doesnt go out with anything protecting his body. At all. So, yeah, Leia surviving space merely told us shed been trained and used her powers. And given that she is actually NOT 100% alright she was reaching a point of being out there to long. She didnt pull herself back fast enough .... but she managed to react fast enough to do what she can and I wouldnt be surprised if part of why she was how she was is she was trying to save others .... not herself.
Rey .... I see many question how she got so good with a lightsaber so fast. Well, I mean, she grew up in a planet where defending yourself was needing. No one seems to go "how did Luke learn to fire a blaster" because it's kind of obvious his situation on Tattoine makes it a necessary thing to know. Yet, somehow no one really questions how Anakin -the slave child who would have limited leisure time - knows how to pod race? (Seriously, no one seems to question that and just accepts hes one with the force or whatever .... but hey). I seriously saw an article talking about a force power Rey has that could be vital and explain a lot and so many commenters were simply going "mary sue", powers never seen (open the article and it mentions places the powers have been seen lol), plot armor, etc etc etc .... like it's a surprise and they dont already know about what the article is talking about. It's the power from when she touched the damn lightsaber and she saw things. Its talking about her ability to see the past .... which again if you watch The Clone Wars we see one of the Jedi in that has something similar .... so it's not some new thing more she HAPPENS to have it and they are bringing it to the big screen.
Basically, what I'm getting at is all these people who are complaining are doing so largely because everything they enjoyed about Star Wars was dubbed not canon (at least from what I see) .... which .... um .... as someone who is also a Trek fan this is why I only count original media type as canon (i.e. visual vs written. Star Wars is movies so movies and tv shows is canon, books and comics and games are all secondary canon - even if Disney says the book is canon my brain wont take it as canon because they didnt put it into the medium in which Star Wars was presented to us from the get go).
If you want to complain that you still have questions before the FINAL movie .... good. You should. If everything is answered then there would be no need for that movie. Hell, with the OT I had questions. I was laughing at father and leia bit and not believing it because at no point did they ever imply that possible (they kissed okay how the fuck are they related, I dont care if grew up apart you dont do that then just ignore that). There was a lot of questions I'm just saying and the prequels opened more questions. But guess what everything is being wrapped up and as I rewatching the movies and shows things are making a bit more sense with these movies out there. Because if Palpatine is back then that fucker clearly had some plan in place in case he got defeated because honestly how did he not prepare for Anakin Skywalker, Mr. devoted to family, not to turn on him?
But yeah .... anyways .... my point is people how so many reasons to hate that I think a lot of it is a mix of Disney cut their favs out, Disney being .... well Disney, and Rey/Leia/etc doing stuff they dont want to put a stamp of approval on because then they have to thank Disney
#which i get that#star wars#i dont want to thank disney#so i thank carrie fisher instead#also han and luke died while leia stayed longer and i think for many of them that sits weird because luke was the man character in OT#its not a sexist thing there its why kill off the OT main character second but the thing is Leia has resonated with so many#and each movie was meant to give each a send off#so i dont know if that meant so to was gonna die in 9 for her big thing i do wish they give us something for the original intent#to let us know after what that was#but 9 was supposed to feature leia story being wrapped up#and personally i think each got a good wrap up#han was always the the scruffy looking nerf herder ... who really wasnt that#he was caring and kid and good and taking in rey was his making up for kylo moment and his going to kylo was making up to leia moment#that moment was never about kylo redemption is was the Obi-Wan death equivalent and `Qui-Gon death equivalent#the master father figure who dies as they do what they do and have their moment before the one theyve been giving something to in the movie#both finn and rey found something in Han and Chewie always had a friend there#Luke in the second movie was equivalent to Yoda in the OT#hidden away and exiled but yet also cut off from the force#he had punished himself for what he had done and yet by the end of the movie he realizes.... that isnt who he is#that he should have left with rey#but its to late so he uses all that he has to do all that he can and sacrifices himself for his sister and the resistance#and most importantly to tell his nephew he failed him#that he messed up#in so many ways each of these moments for han and luke havent been so much a redemption moment for kylo but a redemption moment for failure#for when they - being it justified or not - did wrong by ben skywalker#and during that Rey has been reminding Kylo he can just be Ben he doesnt have to try to be someone else#im so curious what Leia part in 9 was gonna be for this theme that parallels the other trilogies in their own ways because its so powerful#and im getting off my soapbox jow#hope all this show
