but all might's characterization drawing so much strength from mother figures. his victory pose, his laugh, from his earliest memories with his mother. learning to smile and be strong from nana. thinking of nana in his worst moments and gaining strength- i thought of her as my own mother, being formed as a person by nana's life and death. i dont know why hori specifically chose to make the seventh holder a woman (shigaraki's story would have worked if nana was male) but i love that toshinori yagi is a mama's boy.

so much of the media i love has cool male mentors or emphasises fathers, male mentors, or if women are a source of drive or inspiration they exist in that capacity as lovers; but to have an Incredibly Powerful male hero that goes "yes, i derive all my strength from my mother-figure mentor" is so dear to me. his earliest memories of his happy childhood featuring his biological mother.

A continuation of my previous Skywalker Twins comic - feat Yoda part 3

Palpatine: My boy, I'm afraid to report that Master Kenobi is very likely sleeping with your wife.

Anakin, who knows for a fact that Obi-Wan is sleeping with his Commander, a good chunk of Ghost company, the Organas and Quinlan Vos: ...where is he finding the fucking time???

Palpatine, oblivious: Oh I've heard from some very reliable sources that-

Anakin: *pulls out a spexcel spreadsheet, the 3rd System Army's shared spoogle calender and a calculator*

Anakin: Your Excellency. That's just. not logistically possible.

"Perhaps a lesser-known gift of Kenobi's was his ability to listen."

(AU where post-banishment Ahsoka gets zapped back to TPM, strapped with a fundamental distrust of the Jedi, an apocalyptic vision of the future, and a mandate to help Anakin Skywalker. So, in all this, it's nice to have a confidant.)

Something about Luke being the spitting image of his father

[padmestrilogy]

best scene in the prequels is when anakin and padme have just landed on naboo & padme goes “hmm being a childqueen might’ve fucked me up a bit” and anakin, former 9yo slave separated from his mom, confronted for perhaps the first time with the idea that childhood trauma effects you later in life, goes “nuh uh”

Every remake of a game should come with a copy of the game it is remaking that is compatible with modern hardware but otherwise untouched and I'm not even exaggerating this should be mandated by law. If you're going to attempt to recreate a piece of art you have to give people access to its original context otherwise it becomes the only context and makes the previous version simply a superceded product

Skywalker, by contrast, looked every bit the HoloNet hero he was supposed to be. He seemed to tower over his companions, as though he had somehow gotten even taller in the months since Mace had seen him last. His hair was tousled, his color was high, and his walk still had the grounded grace of a natural fighter, but there was something new in his physicality: in the way he moved his head, perhaps, [...] or something less definable. Some new ease, new confidence. An aura of inner power. Presence.

the thing is that palpatine was an absolutely integral central figure in anakin’s life for 36 fucking years, and for HALF OF HIS LIFE palpatine was literally the only person he had at all, and no one wants to delve into it and it makes me feel insane. like that is half his fucking life. more than half!!! palpatine was the most consistently present figure in anakin’s life for the fucking majority of it!!!! anakin loved him, anakin trusted him so deeply he could tell him things he felt like he couldn’t even tell padmé, anakin regarded him as a parental figure, anakin spent half his fucking life completely subservient to him to the most horrific degree, and people talk about the manipulation and call it grooming but it feels like very few are willing to acknowledge the emotional depth of the relationship on anakin’s end because it’s icky. every fix it au is just like “palpatine dies and everything is fine forever” and his constant looming presence is treated like a footnote or a generic mentorship or whatever but it’s not that!!! it’s actually so much worse than that!!!! like i need everyone to actually acknowledge the immense emotional weight this relationship has to anakin like PLEASE

Happy Fox day!

[lizards-wizards-and-magpies]

the fandom making fox an overworked and unpaid government worker has given more empathy to the character than anyone could imagine
