Hobo Johnson, Sorry, My Dear

sorry for the stupid question but what do u mean all the things he throws a kie in 3x04 came from his dad? what am i missing? whats the connection between these 2 scenes in the gifset? 👀

No stupid questions about my tags because they are often nonsensical, one single braincell bouncing around up there. You're talking about my tags on this gifset?

So much of the way JJ reacts to Kie getting close to him in 3x04 is down to the damage done to him by his dad. I suppose my tags weren't just talking about that scene in 2x08 specifically but also considering all the other scenes we see with Luke where he makes JJ feel worthless. But what I love about that parallel between 3x04 and 2x08 is that it shows how defeatist JJ is about his own life, ("it'll all work out" "no it's not, but maybe in the next life".) and then how that manifests with Kie ("it would all blow up anyway"). You could also draw a line between the way JJ is once again being left behind by someone who is supposed to love him. He can't start anything with Kie because she will eventually leave, just like everyone else.

When he says in 2x08 "I hadn't exactly been perfect either" (as though there is any way he could have acted to prevent from being abused) and then in 3x04 "I'm just some loser" it drives home again how low of an opinion he has of himself. Incapable of seeing that he is a victim, that he doesn't have to be perfect to be worthy of unconditional love and care. That the way he see's himself is not how others do.

And of course, the way his mask just breaks in both of those scenes. Both times he lets his wall down just a little bit rather than repressing everything. It is as though he is breaking under the weight of being given affection he so desperately craves. Luke is a piece of shit, always will be, but in that moment he gives JJ something he probably wanted his whole life. A dad that acknowledges his own failures (barely) and tells him everything is going to be okay. A dad who holds him without hurting him. And in 3x04 Kie doesn't let him off the hook and demands to be heard. For just a second, he succumbs to the idea that the people he loves care about him as much as he does them. That she could love him completely. Eventually the wall goes back up but for that 2-3 seconds he is so vulnerable.

I'm sure Sabrina (@brizzlovesyou) and Laura (@erinchristmaselvis) have their thoughts on this since those two menaces are the ones who brought that gifset into existence.

Hi! Are you still into star wars?

Do you have any time travel fic recs on luke travelling back in time and raising anakin? or being good friends or just having feels with anakin?

I am still a fan but it also has been a while since I done Recs and I've been involved in different fandoms since, including working and writing stuff in different capacities (TV Tropes fucking ruined my life) and I am a bit busy my apologies. That and I don't feel so confident giving Recs, like I haven't completely fallen off but I'm out of the loop.

That said here TV Tropes has Fanfic Recs and you might find stuff there. (See Below) But it's very general.

There's also a Fanworks page, which I can confirm is usually made by someone particularly dedicated to a story and want that story noted for the record. I would know I've made a bunch of pages like it just not for star wars yet

Since I'm busy at the moment I might as well show how I might find these kinds of specific fics when I do occasionally return to the fandom every once in a while.

I'm going to be operating with the assumption you might not be familiar with how AO3 does things or how you can more efficiently search. I'm sorry if you are actually familar and this sounds condescending I still hope it might help in searching overall.

This is out of order but I hope you can understand my thought process. Star Wars Time Travel fics are quite common and some use similar but "different" tags, you might have to track through a bunch of them to get what you are searching for. Like "time travel" or "Time Travel Fix-It" (cause not all time travel fics are fix-its sometimes it's a fuck up)

I realised when I was looking at Soulmates AUs for different fandoms that some of the fics weren't showing up because they were tagged slightly so differently. Say "Soulmates" and "Alternate Universe-Soulmates" or something like that. Like you kind of can see it here with the first 3, despite all being time travel-related. It's not always the case but be careful with Tags sometimes.

While it doesn't always result looking at relationships section with "Luke Skywalker & Anakin Skywalker" helps narrow things down. But you can miss some fics that don't tag it as such. So again take heed there.

Do put "Anakin Skywalker" and "Luke Skywalker" separately but ticked in Characters is a reliable in including them, though this can make it more general overall.

Putting "time travel" or even connecting words like "clone wars" or "mortis" in Search Within Results is also quite helpful. "Mortis" in Search Within Results was a particular favourite of mine because it's very specific to a certain event and trying to find stories that featured Luke usually resulted in time travel, though that's not always a guarantee.

If all else fails here. This is a good way to start.

I tagged generally and focusing on time travel, has Anakin and Luke tagged so you should hopefully get an easy time searching. though I can maybe give you two fics I recently read and enjoyed featuring Time Travel and feature Luke.

When two babies brought peace to the galaxy by LavandaVerde

https://archiveofourown.org/works/60211027/chapters/153645688

After falling ill in a battle against the Separatists, Anakin wakes up with two mysterious babies that appeared out of nowhere. That was a bad day for Luke and Leia.

They didn't know how it happened or why it happened - the Force was involved, of course. But now thrown into the past, just after the Battle of Naboo and nearly 10 years before the start of the Clone Wars, Luke and Leia know they have been given a rare opportunity to not just make things better, but to make them right. Trying to think of where to begin, Leia brings up that much of the acceptance of the Jedi purges was due to the growing perception that Jedi were more interested in making war than the peace they spoke of. Luke's New Jedi Order had been struggling to overcome it even now. One of Palpatine's greatest victories that even with his defeat and the collapse of the Empire, still pervaded much of the Mid- and Inner-Rim, to say nothing of the Core. Propaganda and control of information had been a keen weapon in the Emperor's arsenal. Luke's fascination with the fact that there were actual holomovies about Jedi before the purges gives Leia an idea - one she doesn't have much trouble convincing her brother to go along with. All she had to say was "we're gonna fuck with the old man" and Luke Skywalker, Jedi Actor stepped into the limelight.

Sorry I wasn't able to help you out more.

I just played through Slay the Princess for the first time, and… I cannot stop thinking about the Cage.

To be profoundly and finally severed from the illusion of your autonomy. To look on, from a prison of your own making, as your body acts out a legacy of violence against the body of the only other person who can or will come near you. To see their body perform that same violent dance. To be bound to this person, and in your limited state not to understand why. In that moment, as the silhouettes in the shadows act out the story of the princess and the slayer, to share a moment of peace with the one sent to kill you.

Intertwined. Diminished. Reductive, mutually destructive. Trapped in an infinite dance.

Beautiful.

To have been so determined you never had free will, never could have found another way. To realize you may have been wrong. To be trapped in a pattern, but unaware of what that pattern truly is.

Still, for that finite and watchful moment, not to be alone.

(Mild gore under cut.)

(Also this art from the game haunts me.)
