“CURIOUS WHO’S BEHIND THE MASK, TARA?”

Summary: Tara finds out who's behind her school's mascot, and finds herself getting closer to them. But Ghostface has other plans for the two.

Warnings: Ghostface, angst, character death.

A/N: no pt.2 sorry & old draft that i shall post because i love u guys

"Woooo!" Mindy yells, clapping and cheering for her brother. It was a rare occasion to see everyone in the Core Four present at a football game.

But this was the championship game, and Chad was the star wide receiver. Sam smiles along with Tara, watching Chad celebrate at the end of the game, securing Blackmore the state title.

The team mascot, a fierce brown cougar, joins in the celebration by doing flips and cartwheels on the sidelines. Tara leans into Mindy's ear. "You ever wonder who's under the mask?"

"Curious who's behind the mask, Tara?" Mindy wiggles her eyebrows before chucking, adding, "Chad knows! Just ask him."

Quinn joins in, "They're hot too! Chad showed me a photo of them." Mindy thins out her lips, nodding in agreement.

Tara raises an eyebrow maybe she will.

Chad laughs, now at Tara, Sam, and Quinn's apartment, along with Mindy, Ethan, and Anika. "Why are you so curious about our mascot?" Mindy sets down her drink, cutting Tara off.

"Quinn and I were kind of hyping them up." Tara nods, confirming Mindy's words. "The seasons over with! Why are you still keeping it a secret?" Chad shrugs, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "It's just more fun this way. Keeps everyone guessing."

Anika tilts her head, intrigued. "But don't you think it's time to reveal the mascot? I mean, the suspense is killing me!" Chad chuckles and takes a sip of his drink. "I don't know, guys..."

Ethan watches Tara and Anika throw their heads back, sighing and letting out a small laugh. "Maybe you should just tell them before jump them and rip off the mascot costume." He jokes, earning a playful punch from Anika.

Chad looks around the group before pulling out his phone. "I guess you're right," Chad says, scrolling through his phone. He stares at his screen a bit before a voice is heard from his phone. "Hello?"

Chad's face lights up. "Everyone wants to see you without the mask. They've been asking about you all day." The group looks at Chad with anticipation, eager to hear who Chad has on the phone.

"Oh...uh, sure." You let out a laugh, placing your phone on your desk, ready to reveal your identity to the curious group. Chad flips the phone off his face, revealing the screen to everyone. Tara and Anika's jaws drop, their eyes widening in surprise.

"Oh my god." Anika mumbles, covering her mouth in disbelief. Tara, on the other hand, lets out a small laugh. "I didn't expect that."

You wave at everyone. "I hope I lived up to your expectations!" you say with a smile. Chad, still grinning, introduces you to the group. "Everyone, this is Y/N. Our school's mascot."

"Mind refilling my cup?" you ask, pointing to your empty cup. Tara chuckles. "Can't you just use the force and make it fill itself?" She teases, mocking your Anakin Skywalker costume. You playfully roll your eyes, knowing that Tara always has a quick comeback.

"You will refill my cup." You say, waving two fingers in a playful Jedi mind trick gesture. Tara laughs and obliges, taking your cup before making her way to the keg. A brown-haired boy places his own cup upside down on the pump.

"You're kidding me, right?" Tara asks the boy, raising an eyebrow. He grins, "Nah, last one's kicked. We got hard stuff in the kitchen though." The boy extends his hand, "Frankie."

Tara smiles, shaking his hand. "Tara. Lead the way." Frankie leads Tara towards the kitchen, and you watch with a slight frown. "Looks like you have a sith to deal with." Mindy says, nodding towards Frankie and Tara.

You light up your prop lightsaber, and Anika adds, "May the force be with you." You chuckle and reply, "Thanks, I might need it."

You walk to Tara and Frankie, ignoring the boy as you smile at Tara. "Is that mine?" You ask, pointing at the red solo cup. Tara nods. "It's tequila, so proceed with caution."

You raise an eyebrow and take a cautious sip. The strong taste burns your throat, but you manage to hide your discomfort. As you hand the cup back to Tara, you notice Frankie smirking at your reaction. "Not a fan of tequila?" Frankie asks teasingly. You playfully roll your eyes and reply, "Let's just say we have a complicated relationship."

Frankie chuckles and turns to Tara. "Hey, I have a bottle of Fireball in my room." You narrow your eyes at Frankie's suggestion, could he be any more obvious?

Tara shakes her head. "I'm good. Thank you, though." You smile, silently grateful for Tara's refusal. It had only been a couple of months, but you found yourself grown to Tara completely.

"Do you wanna go somewhere more silent?" she asks you, turning her back to Frankie. You nod eagerly, relieved to escape Frankie's presence.

"Ghostface chasing us...Sam being Billy Loomis's daughter...is just mind-blowing." You say to Tara, leaning your back against the snack bar. Tara looks down at her shoes, a pensive expression crossing her face. "Yeah, it's definitely a lot to process," she replies softly.

You lift yourself off the snack bar and take a deep breath. "But regardless. I'm happy that I'm with you. You've truly made a mark on my life, Tara. I don't think I've felt so strongly for someone, you know? I'm willing to do some crazy shit for you, if it means keeping you in my life."

Tara's eyes meet yours, her eyes darting around your face. She takes a moment to collect her thoughts before speaking. "I feel the same way... It's scary sometimes, but in the best possible way. I can't imagine my life without you either."

You smile, leaning down and capturing Tara's lips with yours in a passionate kiss. You slightly pull away, bringing your forehead to rest against hers. "I never thought I would find someone who makes me feel this way. It's like you've awakened a part of me that I didn't even know existed."

Just as Tara leans in again, she feels a sharp pain in her back.

"Tara!" You shout, holding on to her before she falls to the ground. Ghostface turns towards you, attempting to slash at you with his knife. Adrenaline surges through your veins as you quickly dodge his attacks and push him into a movie poster.

You manage to knock Ghostface off balance, causing him to stumble and drop his knife. Taking advantage of the moment, you grab Tara's hand and pull her towards the exit, determined to get both of you to safety.

Just on time, Sam and Chad open the door, and all of you gasp in surprise. "C'mon!" Sam shouts urgently, gesturing for you and Tara to hurry. Without hesitation, you sprint towards the open door, looking for an exit. But it's not long before you're back where you started—the four of you fighting off Ghostface.

You all manage to knock Ghostface to the ground, and you grab a gumball machine, urging everyone to keep moving. You lift the machine above your head, ready to smash it onto Ghostface, but before you can make your move, another masked killer stabs you in the side.

You gasp in pain as the sharp blade pierces your flesh, causing you to drop the gumball machine. "No!" Tara shouts, rushing to your side, but gets held back by Chad and Sam. You fall to the ground, two Ghostface's tower over you. The pain intensifies as you struggle to catch your breath, realizing that this might be the end of the line for you.

"Y/N!!" She screams again, watching them stab you repeatedly with a sickening frenzy. Your vision blurs and darkness starts to creep in, but you summon every ounce of strength, mumbling. "Run! Go!"

The Ghostface's turn to the three, wiping off their knives in unison.

"Great job. All of you." Detective Bailey says to the three Ghostface's. Sam and Tara's eyes widen when realization hits them. "You?"

"Yeah, of course, me." He chuckles before continuing. "Frankly, I expected more from the two of you after what you did to us."

"Us?" The Ghostface on Bailey's left removes his mask, revealing Ethan. "Mindy was right, it was easy to juke the roommate lottery. All I had to do was room with a conceited, condescending alpha, literally named Chad! Fuck, it felt good to kill him!"

Sam and Tara exchange shocked glances, their minds racing to process the revelation. Ethan's words hang in the air, leaving them speechless as they struggle to comprehend the extent of his twisted motives.

Tara's eyes then fill with rage, thinking back on you and Chad, and they mercilessly killed you both. Ethan grins and holds up his mask. "This one was your grandmother's, Sam. Nancy Loomis? It really runs in your fucking family, doesn't it? Speaking of family, "

Bailey buts in, "Wait for it!"

"My names not Ethan Landry, is it Dad?" Bailey laughs, smiling proudly at his son. "Dad?" Tara questions, even more confused.

"Wait, then who else does that leave?" Sam asks, her mind racing to piece together the puzzle. "I don't know?...Mindy?" The Ghostface on Bailey's right takes off their mask, revealing a familiar face.

"Hey, roomies." Quinn says, smiling. "You didn't see that one coming, did you?"

Tara's eyes widen in shock. "Yeah, cause you died!" Quinn chuckles. "Kind of didn't, though. It was a good way to get off the suspect list. Stab Mindy on the train. That sort of thing."

"I just had to make sure I was the first one on the scene so I could switch her out with a fresh body. You'd be surprised at what a grieving father can get away with." Quinn smiles, "I got Stu Machers mask. He was my favorite."

Everyone turns to the last Ghostface, who had been standing silently beside Ethan. The last Ghostface slowly removes their mask, revealing a face that no one expected. It was you, alive and unharmed.

"Still curious who's behind the mask, Tara?" You ask with a smile.

Tara's eyes widen in disbelief as she struggles to grasp what she is seeing. "But... how? How are you standing here right now?" she stammers, her voice filled with confusion and shock.

"I watched you get stabbed!"

The room falls into a heavy silence as everyone waits for an explanation.

"And Sidney supposedly saw Billy get stabbed," you continue, addressing the lingering doubt in the room. "He used pig blood, but that's out of date. Modern special effects have come a long way since then. It's all about creating the perfect illusion, and that's what I did." You explain, revealing the truth behind the seemingly impossible situation.

"I got Amber's mask." You say, looking at it before making eye contact with Tara. "See, I miss my sister dearly. You know Tara, she would call me and tell me how much she cared about her best friend, and not even two months later, you shoot her dead."

"She was trying to kill me!" Tara shouts. You clench your jaw, your own voice raising. "She loved you!"

Tara's face contorts with anger as she retorts, "She may have loved me, but she was also willing to take my life. I had no choice but to defend myself."

"...How are you, Amber's sister? Why weren't you in Woodsboro?" Sam asks.

You take a step closer to the sisters. "Me and Amber weren't biological siblings, but we were raised together since we were young. As for why I wasn't in Woodsboro, I stayed with my aunt... I never was a Cali person, you know?"

Tara glares at you, her anger still evident in her eyes. "Well, it's not like you would understand. You weren't there when it happened. You didn't see what she did."

"I may not have, but I know how she felt, and I saw what you did. I came here to get revenge for my sister and I will finish the movie she started with Richie, believe me."

Star Wars Rewatch: TROS

Oh, God.

Palpatine come back and ruining Anakin Skywalker's redemption. Why? How? Cloning, okay, so this Palpatine isn't the real Palpatine?!

We get to see Supreme Leader Kylo Ren for about 4 minutes before he's immediately benched by Palpatine as co-pilot. Why? I get they didn't want Kylo Ren as the big bad, but this is just lazy writing.

Green goblin, I remember you don't last long.

R2D2, they never wash him or nothing?

Maybe the First Order should win. They take hits and keep on knocking. They take losses and recovered, quickly and well. They always seem to have intelligence from somewhere. In short, they are competent.

Poe and Finn, have a great dynamic.

Rey is finally training for everyone who had a boner for two movies about her having a rocky fight montage.

They moment where Ren is praying over Darth Vader's mask and his mind bridges with Rey is a great reminder that these two are connected.

This film did something most franchise should never, it responded to criticism in real time.

Poe, you fucked up Han's ship. Stop attacking like she doesn't have a reason to be annoyed. Also, Rey is currently the sole Jedi in the galaxy, she should be training, not running off on every errand you have to do.

Colin Travano (whatever his name is) I wouldn't have wanted his script. Like at all. Poe and Rey do have chemistry though and you can tell they enjoy needling one another. It's just not endgame.

That Finnrey hug was awkward. It's a church hug with their butts sticking out. I'm Reylo to the core, but I have place for FinnRey in my heart. They're soulmates in a different way than Reylo is. Also, Daisy Ridley and John B are adorable and you can tell they enjoy working together.

In a flawed film, Rose Tico being sidelined was a wise decision.

Rey, Poe, Finn, Chewie and 3PO are cute. JJ Adams did seem to love friendships developing and for the third film we needed to see all these characters together on an adventure.

Kylo Ren is forging this dumb ass mask again. Look it worked initially, character wise and so forth, but at this point?! He smashed it and moved past the need for it. The audience liked that he smashed it. We have to see his face for emotional scenes. Why is it back? Oh I know! Because JJ Adams good juvenile friend was sad his mask wasn't in the film anymore. General Hux and Kylo are magically little bottle of goodness. We got so little.

We leave one planet for another planet but I keep forgetting what planet we're on. Title cards too much to ask?

Ren is actually pursuing Rey or The Scavenger because yes he wants her for himself. but he also wants to protect her from Palpatine. Their first force bond......... yeah. I've read the novelization so I understand it's been a minute since they've seen one another, but if I just watched the movie would I have known that? No. There is much they saying yet it's stiff and doesn't make much sense without context.

General Pryde. Why did we need him when we have General Hux?

I think Billie D Williams filmed all his scenes sitting down. He looks happy to be there but tired as hell.

Race through the desert of Pasaana. I like it. This crew does work and it feels like a fun adventure. There are cute, whitty moments between all of them and it works.

She heals a snake - Two halves of the dyad should only have been able to heal one another, but here we are.

The Trio and Co find the evil sith ship or whatever. The Knights of Ren gotta walk while Ren is flying. Ren tries to run down Rey, again this make sense in the novelization and not at all in real life. After Rey injures his planes, he crashes and the majestic prince emerges out of the flames. Seriously?! Why the hell are you covering this guy up?!

In a rip off of The Last Jedi we get a tug-o-war scene between the ship Chewie is on. It's not as great, but it's a good scene and we see how Rey's powers have grown. We know it's a waste of time though. They're evenly matched. It's a nice surprise when the lighting shoots out. Okay, I don't mind her being a Palpatine. I mind the retconning. I mind Palpatine magically coming back.

Rey confesses to Finn about her dream of her and Kylo Ren on the Sith Throne. Where? We would have liked to have seen this.

This is a nice FinnRey scene. Despite her display of "dark power", her killing Chewie presumably, Finn doesn't look at her any different. She's still Rey to him. He's patient and present and she describes her challenges. We still don't acknowledge Finn is force sensitive. Why isn't he training with Rey?

We are blazing through this movie. That's part of the problem we're just pushing plot points at this point. The movie needs to be more selective about slowing down and concentrating on character development. Something painfully lacking in this film. Even the Reylo scenes are about pushing the plot forward rather than pushing the characters forward.

3PO actually has a storyline this movie. Good for him. Look secondary characters in a trilogy, you get your moments and it ain't gonna be every film.

Zorri and Babu are nice additions. I like Zorri and the fact that Ren kicking her ass actually made her like her. Women supporting women. Were Zorri and Poe a thing. What's a spice runner? A space drug dealer?

Rey's social skills lack a bit. but she's great with Droids.

Wait, Chewie and Ren were both on Ren's Destroyer and they didn't even have a scene together?! Chewie's like an uncle to Ren.

Ren, show up in your boss ass destroyer to get your girl.

Standout lines -

Poe: 3PO! Move your metal ass.

3PO: How dare you we just met.

Finn, Poe and Chewie cowboying through the destroyer. Nice scene, doomed for failure I'm afraid.

Second Reylo forceskype is exposition. First real Reylo scene is exposition. Hey, movies gotta get it done haha but Ren literally is like here's the plot of the movie and everything you've been confused on up until this point. I will say watching the progression of the force bond that their spaces are now physically bleeding into one another. Nice touch. It's also nice to see what they each see when looking at one another through the force bond.

General Hux is the spy. Could've gone farther with this. RIP Dawg

Another FinnRey scene where you begin to understand Rey is pissed off and darker than possibly Finn thought.

Palpatine and Ren scene. I'm so annoyed Palpatine is in this movie.

We meet a ragtime band on horses surprise their former stormtroopers. All of them. From the same company. Sure Jan.

Seeing the death star again, so odd and doesn't look a thing like the original. We see scavenger Rey again.

Reylo fights again because Rey is the denial queen and she's free to take out her aggression on Ren. He likes feral Rey. In another less PG film, they've fought and then boned, but Leia died. Also, Dark Rey.... I'm here for it. Mostly cause it looks cool.

The film makers did the best they could with Carrie's Fisher passing. I thought they handled it with class and dignity while incorporating it into the film.

After Leia's passing and Rey healing it. Ren in his ever presented conflict nature overlooks the water when his father appears. It's poignant and character driven scene. It's beautiful scene about the enduring love of a parent. A flawed parent but a loving one nonetheless. Ben had two of those and he seems to finally understand that now.

Poe has a good scene with Leia's body about being a leader. Something that, despite all the bravado, he finally admits he doesn't know how to do. This would've been a great scene with her alive. Part of the issue people have the sequel trilogy of the lack of respect paid for previous generations. As if they are flawed and bigoted. On screen and off screen. A scene where Finn, Poe or Rey paid respect for the accomplishments of previous generations. Their courage and their bravery. Billie D. feels like just a stand-in.

Palpatine army blows up yet another planet. yawn.

Finn is a general bestow as such by Poe. Good choice. Sanitation worker aside no one knows more about The First Order than someone who was a stormtrooper. Finn reveals Palpatine wanted Rey alive...... then why tell Ren to kill her? Because if Rey didn't go dark then Ren was the fall back or vice versa?

So far it's not a bad film, just a disappointing film. The stuff that made my blood boil is about to come.

Rey isolates herself on Acht-to, burns the ship and we see ghost Luke. Why? She saw herself on the dark throne and she's afraid of herself. This might have meant something. At one point. It just feels like a retcon at this point. She's a Palpatine but Leia and Luke didn't care? Then what the hell were you worried about Ben for? If blood and legacy means nothing.

I'm not one of those people that need everything in a movie to make sense. It's also a space fantasy film, but damn.

Rey leads the Resistance to Exegol, she just doesn't know it. That was handy. No, really the way the movie sliced that together worked very well. Poe and Finn make a great speech about the resistance. Not as rousing as I'd like.

Exegol being the basis for the Sith religion is actually really cool. Wish we could've learned more. Empress Palpatine sounds like a boss ass name.

I hate everything about the ending of this film.

Rey once again goes into the enemy territory without a plan. The resistance doesn't really have one either except gumption.

Ben Solo is back! He's great. He's a hero. He's got great hair. He's likeable. We haven't seen him for 20 minutes, he doesn't say a word except "Ow" We have a beautiful Reylo moment where we Rey and Ben see each other through the Force Bond and she looks at Ben with such relief, joy and love that he's there with her. Ben fight like hell to get to her. This is it! Bendemption. We've waited three films for this. Then they tossed him off a cliff.

While it's a great scene of Rey listening to the previous Jedi's and rising up. I'm so confused how the dyad coming together empowers the devil. Ben has been made completely irrelevant.

I mean, we got a Reylo Kiss! It was epic and then it was over. We were lucky to get that considering Disney started to shy away from Reylo due to all the "controversy" I just hate this so we'll move on.

The hug was nice!

Rey Skywalker?

And that's that

#reylo #ben solo #star wars #finnrey #rey skywalker #rey star wars #kylo ren #kylo x rey #ben solo deserved better #rey nobody

12 DAYS UNTIL REXWALKER WEEK!

The countdown is really on now everyone! The month of October has been crazy and packed with fun events, but this is the excited reminder that RexWalker week is less then two weeks away, and we wanted to give some quick reminders as well!

Remember this is a week to celebrate the romantic relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Captain Rex; and though we love to see any and all positive relationships with the two, we are only going to be reblogging and including romantic creations in this event.

There are two prompts per day, and it is your choice which you wish to do (or if you decide to do both!). We just ask you to make sure you include which prompt in your post so we can share correctly; and when posting to the AO3 collection (AO3 tutorial for this here), it is included in the summary and/or title. Note: If posting all prompts in the same work on AO3, we ask you include the prompt(s) as the title of the chapter, to help with creating the Master Summary later.

On of the prompts this year is "Sith AU", and we want to reiterate that RexVader does fulfill this prompt! RexVader is also encouraged for any of the prompts, as it is still an iteration of Anakin Skywalker. So, as long as you remain positive in the characters, we would love to see and share such works!

We do have a cutoff day for accepting posts (November 15th), simply for mods to create the Master Summary in a good time frame before the holidays. BUT we will still be happy to reblog and share RexWalker content here after that date, and will be continuing to do so throughout the year as well.

Please tag this account in your posts when sharing so we don't miss anything, and note we will be following the #rexwalkerweek23 tag when the week comes around!

Please remember to check the full Rules and Guidelines before submitting or tagging this account in your posts. And check out our pinned post for links to the prompts, FAQ, AO3 collection, and full schedule, as well as a link to a discord full of other people excited to celebrate this ship. OR simply hop to our main page for everything you could need to know. And if you still have questions, on anything with this event, feel free to send them in!

So excited to see what you all create!

please please please, did the space-monk keep his armies up his sleevies??

Of course he did!

This is an exceptionally silly title, but in my defense, it’s a nonsense file full of contradictory timeline schenanigans and snippets of a fic I am not writing. The same fic I’m very very absolutely not writing that I mentioned in the seven-sentence post last Sunday, actually! It has been plaguing me.

The thing is, is that I am so sure there ought to be a way to make it work. I haven’t found it so far, so far I have only found many ways not to make the metaphorical lightbulb, but I feel so strongly that it should work. I will make it work eventually, and then I will be free.

The ‘it’ (army up our sleevey) in question: the Mandalorian Empire! I am so sure that there should be a way to rewrite these wholeass war stars so that the Mandalorian Excision is a turning point in the history of the Jedi Order, but in the opposite direction from canon. Have it be the first time the Jedi were commanded to go commit large-scale violence against a sovereign system just because the Republic said to, and so the first time the Jedi found themselves truly pushed to a point where they cannot do as ordered without wholly breaking the tenets of their Order but cannot disobey and keep themselves safe and in a position to fulfil the objectives of their Order—and have them turn to the Force for a third option.

It's a pretty radical third option, because I want to play with the timeline and also because the one scene makes me so so so happy, but—instead of killing off the Mandalorians, they meet with them, make a deal with them, pack them up on ships, and slide them into a pocket in the Unifying Force to be retrieved (much) later, when it’s safe. Fast forward all the way to AotC, once the Jedi have discovered the clone army prepped for them on Kamino and received that implicit authorization to hire what amounts to a mercenary army, they can do a fine magician’s flourish and pull the better part of the Mandalorian Empire out of their sleeves! What a scene that would be, I want it so badly.

And all the fun of the set-up, too! Imagine it, right, the Jedi have elevated ‘from a certain point of view’ to a zen art and have a now long-running history of taking creative options to do the most good possible regardless of Republic guidelines, but keeping it all on the down-low has given the Jedi chronically poor PR (essentially the same as they have in canon) and the truth of many things has passed out of memory and into the keeping of the Force. Then the tragedy at Galidraan happens, Dooku’s faith wavers, and the Force returns one secret to them—Dooku’s good friend Sifo-Dyas gets him together with Master Archivist Jocasta Nu and the three of them learn about the pocket Mandos waiting to be pulled, the absolute proof of how far the Jedi will go (and how much the Force will support them) in order to preserve life. And then immediately after that revelation is when Sidious comes to whisper in Dooku’s ear, all his manipulations, how the Republic is corrupt and the Jedi are useless and if Dooku wants power enough to make a difference he’ll need to do something radical—and Dooku is playing him the entire time.

And thematically, it could be so good! Revisiting the original Star Wars question of are the Jedi knights following lords or monks serving a higher purpose! The distinction between lying to gain the freedom to do good (Jedi mind-trick) and manipulations to gain power to do evil (Sith compulsion)! Once-and-future Mandos who are both the kings waiting to return to their people and the sword waiting to be drawn! The Clone Wars are still fought, kind of! An Empire still rises, kind of! The clones who were chattel, produced and sold by a failed Mand’alor, denied any culture or history, destined to fight and die unacknowledged in someone else’s war; now being adopted wholesale by the returned Mandalorian people, hailed as a gift from the Force itself, sharing their knowledge of modern times and being taught all the cultural traditions of Mandalore’s heyday, being treated as beloved children and kept as safe as any Mando’ad could be! Anakin, fatherless child of the Force, as the prophesied Chosen One, found by the will of the Living Force, trained by a sleight-of-hand master with a powerful connection to the Unifying Force, strong enough to bring balance to the Force not through massacre but instead by bringing back an entire people! Renewal, healing, proof that good will always ultimately triumph over evil but that you have to get it there through a balanced combination of faith and hard work! So fun!!!!

Exactly how and when all this happens and what the hell all the fallout is, though, all that stuff still escapes me. This file is an absolute nightmare bog of snippets and bullet-point ranting.

#asks #anternika #hi hi hi hi <3 <3 <3 <3 #thank you for validating my incredibly silly joke #I just I so very much want to see Obi-Wan and Anakin open up the void of space above Kamino into essentially a Force-constructed hyperlane #pull an armada out like space rabbits from a galactic hat and then laugh directly in Sidious' face #and then a three-strand plot to handle the Separatists the Sith and the rehoming of pretty much everybody (Jedi and clones and Mandos etc)#I know there has to be a way to do it but it's like I'm doing a puzzle blind. just slamming pieces together and feeling them fail to click #how to have the clones around long enough to be established characters and give them agency enough to opt in to the fighting?#have Dooku sneak Obi-Wan in as a trainer on Kamino before the Jedi are able to officially discover the clone army? where's Anakin?#other questions then: what's the place of the Shadows in this adjusted Jedi Order? what's the state of slavery in this galaxy?#what's the state of the Mandalorian remnants? the New Mandalorians? what's Obi-Wan's history with them now?#and later where are we putting the returned Mandalorians? to what extent do we let the Separatists secede? are we dissolving the Republic?#who knows! certainly not me. I have a million options sketched out and they're all mutually-exclusive #and anyway almost all my scenes turn into various characters talking to the clones about their past experiences and future opportunities #I just love them so much

I'm very 👀👀 about these WIP titles of yours!

Caoimhe Yael - do both characters exist in the same world? Do they get on when they first meet or is their relationship take time to develop?

Dreams & Fangs - that sounds either incredibly fluffy or soul destroying XD Can you say a little more about it?

I am in love with you - I know you said something before about the conversation between Yael and Nate at the end of B3, do you have anything planned out for the lead up to the breakup?

Thank you for the questions!! They were fun to answer!

Caoimhe Yael - Thank you so much for asking about this one ^^ So, they don't really exist in the same world, as my wife's TTRPG campaign is not set in the Wayhaven universe, but it is a monster hunters, "real" world setting, so I just decided they do live in the same world.

They don't clash at the start, but Caoimhe, who is a powerful supernatural (she's a baobhan sith), is a bit doubtful at having to team up with a regular human. Yael, on her part, needs some time to feel comfortable working with someone she barely knows. This means that Caoimhe tries to make Yael stay out of the action, and Yael's impulse is to go along. Of course, the mission will force them to learn to trust each other and themselves more.

Dreams & Fangs - haha, it's neither fluffy nor soul destroying (I hope). It's Yael dreaming about Nate biting her in the, ehm, heat of the moment. Nate, who thinks she's having a nightmare because of how restless she is, wakes her up. Only to then realise why she was this restless. I've yet to decide whether I want to sprinkle in some angst then, or if it will just be self-indulgent smut.

I am in love with you - This ficlet touches on some of the issues that will lead to Nate initiating that conversation at the end of B3, as well as on Yael's state of mind. Other than that, I'm planning for some brief flashbacks that come up during the time that they are split up, to try to explain their reasoning, but there won't be any major non-canon events that cause it. (ngl, I'm kind of anxious about writing Nate's part, but have been talking with some wonderful people about it, which has helped <3)

#look i just wanted to write a sexy biting fic #and with all the angst i've been putting yael and nate through as of late #maybe dreams & fangs will stay only smutty #with no or minimal angst

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love❤

a;lkdgjalkgs;fakfgj AHHHH Thank you friend!

I'm so sorry that this is all star wars but they are the most polished writings I've done in a long time

SSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

the first one is

White Lie

For new followers is is the story of how Obi-Wan and Sas met, it takes place about a year before Attack of the Clones. This is only the first chapter but I swear I have more that I'm working on! I'm very excited to get back to it I just have to let the sith au brain rot subside

2. Agony and Hope

Speaking of the sith au. I'm currently working on chapter 4 and I really love this au its just a matter of making the dialogue do the thing that I need it to for characters I don't normally write lol

3. Sunrises and Fireworks

Happiest of endings- Obi-wan has adopted Boga. Boga has babies, Obi-Wan and Sas have babies- Skywalker babies- like???? its fun thats all there is to it

4. Hera and Sas have a bonding moment

This one doesn't really have a title, but I imagine it takes place a little after the battle of yavin and like its just Hera and Sas talking about mourning their jedi husbands and processing that

5. Let her Sleep

I think this one is my comfort fic and is definitely one of the softer things I've written.

Thank you so much for the ask friend!

ALRIGHT. Gimme numero 18 for the writer one and 16 and 18 for the Star Wars one, por favor.

Ooh, thank you for the asks!

#18 from writers: What is a line/scene you’re really proud of? Give us the DVD commentary for that scene.

I am really proud of the chapter I wrote in Stars Above where Hondo Ohnaka and Cad Bane are "having a conversation," but Hondo is trying to make Cad out to be immoral even though he himself is a scoundrel and Bane points out he is hypocritical.

“So Cad, you agree then? This New Order’s not to be trusted?” It was more than conversation; the Weequay was a strategist in his own respect. His antics were parlor tricks, his comedic gestures just for show. He would get to the bottom of his business dealings before the night was over.

[...]

“Ne’ver said I trus’ted dem.” He was short with him, cutting straight to the point – that’s what he wanted; he wasn’t stupid – this was a mere game he was playing, though Cad Bane wouldn’t bite.

“Then why work for them?” The Weequay’s face had transformed into a mask delineating that he was serious, his cordial demeanor all but fleeing for this instant. Zulara herself was curious, and Kayson had been afraid to ask, though perhaps it was his good fortune to have invited a man like Hondo to their sabacc game. Even old Masse had turned his gaze, thumbing through a small datapad he had produced, though his ears had never strayed too far from the conversation, and the Rodian rather soundlessly kept his place, yet this new round of queries promoted him to speak in Basic.

[...]

“Did you hear that, my dear? Cad Bane’s a murderer. What a ghastly business, bounty hunting… By the way, what is your name?”

“Zulara,” she stated, even-toned. She felt relaxed, her mind was drifting to pleasing thoughts; the Gardulla was having its effect on her.

Cad Bane sneered, hating this back and forth that only he seemed to be privy to. Hondo was the one that had told him her pretty title, yet he still pretended to not be the deceitful pirate that he was; a smuggler, a racketeer. “You actin’ like yer’a honest man. ‘Least I don’ try’t hide m’nature.”

"No one's hiding anything! I was merely pointing out your lack of conscience. I pick and choose carefully; death only need be present where there is no alternative."

"You playin' Maker, den? Sounds like’a fun game… Must be nice t’pick an’ choose. Ain’ no monster – rather take scores a’live - sometimes it can’t be ‘elped. De Jedi … d’ere’a sspecial lot, and dat one deserves t’die fer double crossin’ me.”

“Ahem.” Hondo nearly coughed; it was a façade.

I just wanted to do right by both the characters. They never met in canon. I thought it would be so much fun if they had a back and forth.

#16 from Star Wars asks: Which movie/episode have you watched the most?

The Bad Batch: Reunion and Bounty Lost ft. Cad Bane. ;) I love his TBB outfit, but also his unaltered voice is to die for.

18. What is your favorite star wars book or comic?

Resistance Reborn and Shadow of the Sith because they both feature Shriv Suurgav in canon outside of Battlefront 2.

What You Need to Know About Ahsoka Tano Before the Ahsoka Series Releases

Ahsoka Tano is my favorite Star Wars character, and she's the best thing that has happened to the franchise. Ahsoka was first introduced in the animated series, Star Wars: The Clone Wars; unfortunately, with the latest live-action Star Wars trilogy, Ahsoka Tano was never mentioned, and Star Wars fans were wondering if we will ever see a live-action Ahsoka. Fortunately, our wish has been granted, as the first live-action Ahsoka is brought into The Mandalorian played by Rosario Dawson. And that's not all, Ahsoka will have her own series on Disney Plus, where fans hope their questions about our heroine's journey have been answered. Before, the Ahsoka series is released, here are some facts you need to about her.

1. Ahsoka Was Anakin's Apprentice

Yes, ironically, the apprentice of Obi-wan Kenobi had an apprentice of his own. As many beginners of the Jedi, Ahsoka started out as a padwan. Anakin trained her to be a jedi, and what started out to be a master/student relationship turned into friendship.

2. Ahsoka is With the Force, But is No Jedi

What confused me about Ahsoka's introduction in The Mandalorian was the chapter titled, "The Jedi". For me, this title was misleading, especially, for those who don't know Ahsoka, because she is no jedi. Yes, she was trained the jedi way, she has the force, and fights with lightsabers, but Ahsoka made it clear that she was done with the Jedi, hence, she doesn't carry the title. In Clone Wars, Ahsoka was framed for bombing a jedi temple, and The Jedi Order imprisoned her for murder. While, Anakin was able to clear her name, Ahsoka felt betrayed by The Jedi Order and chose to walk away from them, including Anakin. Ahsoka's decision to leave the Jedi, ultimately, paved her way to start her own journey. Fun fact, one of Ahsoka's solo acts was battling the infamous Maul.

3. She Battled Vader Himself

The Clone Wars ended similarly to Revenge of the Sith, Anakin turned to the dark side, Palpatine becomes emperor, and most of the Jedi are terminated... except one. With the help of her friend, Rex, Ahsoka was able to survive order 66, and in order for her survival to stay a secret, she faked her own death. Luckily, this isn't the last we've seen of her. Ahsoka becomes a recurring character in Star Wars Rebels, and one of the most climatic scenes in the series is Ahsoka battling Darth Vader. Apparently, Ahsoka had no knowledge of her former master being Vader, until her encounter with him. In some ways, this scene is sad because we're seeing what were once best of friends, now archenemies.

4. A Star Wars Rebels Character Will Return With Ahsoka

It has been confirmed that Sabine Wren from Star Wars Rebels is set to be in the Ahsoka series. For Star Wars Rebels fans, Sabine's presence in the live-action Ahsoka series makes sense. Rebels ended with one of the main characters, Ezra Bridger missing in hyperspace. After five years of his disappearance, Sabine travels with Ahsoka, as she vowed to bring Ezra back home. Well, we can't wait to see Ahsoka and Sabine fighting side-by-side.

Sims is missing out...

It just occurred to me that sims has been missing some pretty decent opportunities to boost its gameplay. I mean with real meaningful, fun, and interesting content. EA has access to a decent amount of titles, yet they don't boost themselves up from the inside. I mean real crossover DLC and Game Packs. They have aliens in sims as they always do, but no Mass Effect Crossover? We can't meet commander shepard, get a suit of armor, pick a class type, and go on missions? They have "need for speed" and we can't get a Street Racing DLC, Get a car, Customize, go to work/streetrace, get promoted, and earn gear for the car to supe it up for performance and style in "CAS". They have the whole "star wars" pack, but they don't add the ability to become a jedi or sith, go to work and do jedi or sith content, meet and mingle with star wars characters, use the force as you see fit. They just came out with Space Jam recently and we can't get a lebron james/looney toons world crossover at all? Learn to play basketball, compete in the space jam, and unleash and catch looney toons running around and learn mischievous and funny actions from each one? Apex Legends their prime free to play game, could add clothing options to pick from, new pets, interactions, a free world based off of the apex legends world, a job as an apex legend even, get collectibles, collect useful items, add some monster hazards in the world with an apex monster hunting skill to fight them. There is Dragon Age, Dead Space, Anthem, It Takes Two, Crysis, Mirrors Edge, and Plants vs. Zombies, all with something to pull from, and create a myriad of clothing items, jobs, mini games, skills, hazards and occult like transformations. I'm not trying to harp on it, but really, I could think of a few things that could improve the game. And "Bust The Dust" is probably not my idea of fun, if even for just a quick moment of amusement. Whatever the issue is, i just feel like to a certain degree it can't be an acceptable practice to have all that content at your disposal and squander it in a consistently time-consuming way, don't get me wrong, sims is its own game, but they already mixed Star Wars into it. why not take it the full mile? Its not like I don't mod my game, and perhaps that makes me part of the problem, I don't converse with any official sims developers but i sure as hell know modders put more time into it than they do. I don't see why if they even put the smallest amount of their time in, why not make it something worthwhile? When they have all the means to make official crossovers, and bridge their game worlds in ways that have yet to be seen. The Sims is basically EA's "Kingdom Hearts" Gateway. And once they realize that, the game will be all the better for it. That is just my two cents. And Id honestly write to them about it, if i felt that I would get a serious reply. But only time will tell what comes next for The Sims.

Thoughts on Star Wars after watching the movies for the first time (contains spoilers)

So I just binged watched all the star wars movies for the first time (I had watched the original trilogy before but never really paying much attention) and I don't know if I like them or not. I have a similar problem as I do with harry potter where there's a million tiny moments where I just see so much potential and it would've been so good if only they would have done some things differently but at the end there are so many things I would change that it would end up being a completely different thing and not star wars anymore. Which I think just means they're not really for me, and that's ok, but I did still like them, I thought they were fun. I don't know, maybe it's too soon to tell and I need to give myself more time to really process it.

I think one of the things that made me feel like this is that the movies themselves really confused me as to what they were trying to be. It is clearly not a science fiction story because all the cool technology is more of a background prop than a theme, but despite what a lot of people say I don't think it is a space opera either. The interpersonal relationships of the characters only really matter and affect the plot in the final act of each trilogy where the bad guy and the good guy face each other and are forced to acknowledge the connection that they have, and in the original trilogy it isn't even that big of a connection. To be honest I felt like the movies were just trying to be both a space opera and a war story in a way that just felt like it didn't accomplish either of the two, I couldn't tell if the characters were an attempt at justifying the need for a final battle for every single movie or if the battles were an attempt at making character arcs end in a more epic or meaningful way (is George Lucas even aware that there are other ways to end a film?). Maybe I should have taken a hint from the title and known that I wouldn't like this because of how I don't like most war metaphors because of how poorly constructed they usually are.

Speaking of poorly constructed war metaphors, I really don't get the whole dark side vs light side thing. It seems extremely reductive to me. I know that you could argue that the Jedi are shown to have flaws in how they handle emotions and that there could be a Sith that was good and just used their feelings in order to use the force, and I would actually agree with it, but my problem with how it's depicted is that all of that is just meta commentary and it is not at all what the actual movies show. No movie actually delves into those topics, there are some hints towards that being the case, yes, but if your fictional world has a group of people that is evil and a group of people that is good, and you spend no actual time dealing with the question of what the words evil and good even mean in the first place or engage in the conversation of how evil and good can coexist or even be the same thing because they are subjective, then you're not doing that topic justice. And Anakin and Kylo Ren aren't enough of an answer when both of their storylines end with them just choosing one over the other. The truth is, every single Sith that is in the movies is a bad guy and every single Jedi is a good guy, even if they are shown to have flaws or they sometimes change sides, and to me that still feels reductive. I just wish there was more of an exploration of the possibility of being both dark and light simultaneously, Kylo Ren seems such a lost opportunity for that, he was so close to it until they just decided to revive Palpatine instead. And the whole good/evil thing isn't even the only moment that is like this where it could be great if only they had just decided to expand on it a bit more, there are slaves and sentient droids and genetically modified clones being used and killed left and right with no more than a few minutes in 9 whole movies that actually acknowledge the morality of it, and I understand that they didn't intend for it to be science fiction and that is what science fiction is, but the lack of interest of engaging in deep topics just frustrated me. But once again, I get it, I am expecting too much of these films, I get that most people that watch them do it for the cool futuristic sword fights and for the blowing things up and for the dopamine of watching the good guys win another battle at the end, whatever that means. Maybe Ursula K Le Guin has just given me so much that now I have too high of a standard for blockbuster movies that are just meant to be marketable and fun. And they are fun, so I don't see why I can't fully bring myself to say I like them.

Another thing that just irked me was how incredibly male these movies are. It is obvious in the lack of lead women characters but it is not just that. There are many many moments that are directly influenced by a more masculine world view. Both the Jedi and the Sith seem to be based on ideals of masculinity, one being the stoic rational emotionless men and the other being anger-driven oppressive men (I could write a whole essay about this). I laughed at Luke's reaction to his uncle and aunt dying because of how emotionless it felt, he only seems sad for a minute and immediately gets over it and doesn't think about them ever again in any of the movies. I also dislike that star wars is so explicitly about families and love that it is the beginning of the entire plot but it has a very narrow view of families where it gives so much importance to blood ties and legacy and such and it really seems like it all revolves around the patriarch of the family. Luke's insistence on calling Darth Vader his father and insisting on him still having a good side is quite weird to me considering he really doesn't know him at all. And although I do get Vader's hesitation in killing Luke because he knows it is the last thing of Padmé that is left, I think that it was such a wasted opportunity that he never gets to know that Leia is his daughter. He could have had an even more justified emotional reaction if he realized that the girl he had literally tortured before was his daughter and that he could have killed her without even knowing it just like he had killed Padmé without knowing it. But it is all wasted because the writers could just not conceive a movie where the climax is between a daughter and her father instead of between a son and his father because in their patriarchal view of family that is the only relation that matters, because sons are the ones that inherit a father's power because women have no power, and so Luke gets everything while Leia just sits back and looks pretty. Leia is the one with knowledge in politics and who grew up being a part of this fight but Luke is the one that is chosen to be trained as a Jedi despite both having the potential for it, he is the one that is told about his father and trusted with the information and he is the only one allowed to face him at the end and he is the only one who turns him and he is the protagonist. Again, lost potential. And at least the sequels seem to fix this issue somewhat and they give Rey power and authority and they give us characters with no blood relations until they then fuck it up and make Rey a Palatine and make her power come from her grandfather's power, a man's power. But even then they do show more moments of genuine care and love that escape these two options of being either stoic or angry, I think one of my favorite moments of all the movies is in the last film when they all hold each other's hands, it is such a sweet moment that I think would be impossible in the other two trilogies.

And I think against most people's opinions that the sequels are probably my favorite for this reason, it fixed some of the things that had to be fixed. And I think having a sequel in order to fix it was so necessary, but honestly I would have liked it to take a completely different direction. I both like and dislike them. I like Rey and I like Finn and Poe, they are my favorite trio in all the trilogies, and I like Kylo Ren because until then all of the talk of turning darksiders to the light side didn't feel that well thought out, but I truly don't like how they just go back to the exact same thing that the original trilogy was, movie 7 is the same as movie 4 and there is still too much time spent on battles and too little on actually engaging with the themes the movies are supposedly about, and the first order being so powerful honestly makes me feel like the ending of movie 6 was worth nothing. I would have liked it much more if the trilogy dealt instead with the aftermath to what happened in the originals and the lives of ordinary people like Rey and Finn. And even with how they are I didn't like the last movie, Palatine just came out of nowhere and it seemed to me just a cheap way to give Kylo Ren plausible deniability by having a superior to respond to so that people wouldn't get mad at his redemption and I also hated how they killed him immediately after redeeming him when in my opinion one of the most interesting parts of a redemption is the following arc of a character learning to accept what they've done and making amends and learning that not everyone is going to accept it. Him dying is just a way to be able to immediately make him a hero and not deal with the consequences of his redemption, and I feel that is quite cowardly for a movie to do. Every step of these movies I just keep seeing ways to evade delving deeper into the topics that they themselves bring up.

The original trilogy I don't know how I feel about. Maybe it is because they are the star wars movies that are the most praised for their originality which as someone who is an avid fiction reader is something I don't see in them, or because most of the people praising them do so from a deeply nostalgic feeling which I do not have having watched them only just now, or maybe it is because I see in them that weird outdated world view that old movies that talk about the future have. I do have to say they are better written than the prequels, and I like their pacing a lot more, though I don't feel any emotional connection with the characters even after 3 movies with them. I do like Han and Leia's romance, and I think it is an interesting set up for a fantasy world (because it is fantasy), but it is not much more than that.

The prequels I didn't like much either, but they did succeed at something that I really needed after watching the originals first (I watched them in release order) and that is giving context. I don't think they do a great job at world building, but however cool the mysterious aura of the originals was, they left so many unanswered questions like Leia somehow being a princess and a senator (for what senate we don't know) or who their mother is, and I finally got my answers here. I did also get more questions like what even happens during the clone wars but I think I'll only get answers for that in other adjacent star wars shows which I don't know if I want to watch yet. And I felt that the prequels were so strongly trying to give context and backstory and depth to the originals that they were often dealing with too many things at the same time and expanding on them too little. I also felt Anakin's switch to the dark side was too abrupt and didn't happen at the right moment, there are indicatives of him having been tempted by the dark side way before, yes, but they were too distant in time to make them feel relevant then and his scene when he switches sides is too sudden. It feels completely in character for him to kill Windu, but I would have expected for him to show at least the smallest bit of resistance afterwards, I think I would have been happy with even half a minute of hesitation or guilt before he surrenders, but that never happens. I do have to say the fight between Anakin and Obi wan was quite good, it was properly paced, it felt real to the characters and made sense, so even if I don't like ending a conflict with a battle just this once George Lucas can have it, I did like that fight scene, which honestly quite surprised me.

So, those are my thoughts for now, I might watch some of the other movies and shows that are out there because I did feel like I was missing a lot of context and lore, or I might wait a while and then rewatch the movies and maybe by then my opinion might have changed, I don't know. Also for clarity I have to say that I did not watch these movies in a good moment at all, I read Earthsea just a month ago which is a series that is not afraid of delving into deep philosophical questions and I think it made my expectations for other media way too high, and I also watched these movies right after I finished reading The Bell Jar, which in my opinion probably made all of the emotional moments seem milder in comparison, watching a boy consider the possibility of having to kill his own father (that he's known for 5 minutes, mind you) doesn't really seem that extreme after reading 200 pages of a woman in an asylum describing how she wants to kill herself.

Guild Wars 2 and Star Wars: The Old Republic Rogue Temptations

| Repost: Originally posted by Steve "Slurms" Lichtsinn on March 11, 2011

I’ve never been a big fan of Rogues in any MMO. That’s not to say that I didn’t want to play as one. Quite the contrary; they are deadly, and often look amazing. They’re usually not quite as potent as the “glass cannon” Mage, but I prefer survivability above kill count. I tend to prefer that survivability so much that I’m lead to play tanks, or at least a hybrid that can self heal.

The real reason I avoid the class is because it’s inevitable that in any MMO, there will tend to be a large population of rogues. I personally prefer to play a class that is useful more than just playing a class that is fun. Sure, you need DPS, but you only need so much. Going into a PvP instance when more than half the team is comprised of knife-wielding caffeine induced stabbing machines is, to me, no fun.

But it seems as if every new MMO that comes out has a new sales pitch for their version of the rogue. “Come on out and try the 2011 Rogue! It’s five times more badass than you’re your old model, and it comes with an iPod dock, standard.” So while I’ve been planning to play some form of a tank in Guild Wars 2 and I have been adamant about my decision to play a Trooper in Star Wars: The Old Republic, it should come of no surprise that each of their versions of the rogue looks amazing, and I am once again filled with mixed emotions on what my day one decision will be.

Let’s go over the options, shall we?

Star Wars: The Old Republic – Smuggler

Back when I played Star Wars: Galaxies (albeit not for a very long time) I initially started my journey with a goal: become a Bounty Hunter, and rule the galactic paper towel market! Joking aside, I wanted to be Boba Fett. He was, without a doubt, one of my two favorite characters in the Star Wars universe. Most of my childhood desire to replicate him virtually came from my awe of his looks. I don’t know of anyone who can say he doesn’t look badass.

The other character I was always quite fond of was his antithesis; Han Solo. The two of them were like some sort of inverted spin on the classic law-man and law-breaker relationship from the Wild West…but with LASERS and SPACESHIPS! I eventually gave up on my quest to be the next Mand’alor and switched to becoming a Smuggler. This, eventually, showed me that while Galaxies was a great game in some regards, it wasn’t giving me the Star Wars experience I desired. The Old Republic will be another shot at giving me what I want in an MMO from a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away. The only problem is that while I’ve learned over the years that it will probably be in my best interest to start out as a Trooper or a Jedi Knight, the Smuggler trailer does not help my decision. Albeit a bit on the cheesy side, it does show off a taste of the experience I was looking for in Galaxies.

(This video isn't available anymore)

UPDATE: It was pointed out to me by Pitrelli that the Smuggler really won’t be the rogue class of TOR. That title can be reserved for the Sith Assassin and Jedi Shadow. This was a complete oversight on my part but I’ll blame my dog. I glanced at her briefly while writing this and that lazy eye of hers threw me off.

Guild Wars 2 – Thief

First, I must point out that I fully agree with Syp on the class. Guns, does not a Thief make. I prefer the title “Mugger,” but no matter. What’s really important is that the class looks, and sounds like it could be, amazing. Not only will it be the light armored, high damage class we’ve all come to know, it will also put a new spin on what “stealing” means. Now, when I initially heard that it would be able to steal from its enemies, I thought it was an interesting throwback to older games like Everquest when you could actually loot coin from a mob while fighting. Instead we’re getting something so much cooler.

Upon seeing that you would be able to “steal” a temporary weapon based on the type of mob you are fighting, I was hooked. I was reminded of Gau from Final Fantasy VI (III in the States). He was a little beast-child that you could have in your party who would attach himself to an enemy and leave the party for an extended amount of time. Upon his return, he would learn one of those creatures’ abilities. This sounds similar, but temporary and way more dynamic. I love it, and again, I am cursing another MMO developer for making a class I know will be overplayed look and sound so amazing.

Why Everything You Find out about Minecraft Download Pc Is A Lie

Open the "Mods" folder, and drag the mod you downloaded into it. If you are having bother discovering your mods folder, begin Minecraft, click Mods on the main menu, and then choose Open mods folder. Click 'Play Demo' to start out downloading recreation recordsdata for the trial period. Now, it's going to begin the obtain, and once it gets downloaded, you possibly can play the sport. For now, here's a have a look at what's at present out there -- and be happy to plug your ZIP code into the instrument below to see which suppliers are available at your tackle. Plus, since Terasology is open supply, you possibly can mess round with the supply code if you understand what you're doing, or simply download considered one of the numerous quests and in-game methods which have been created by others to alter the best way you play the game. RetirePlan - Whether you're already occupied with retirement or not, RetirePlan is a great way to start planning for future life adjustments. It’s an awesome choice for many who own an in depth portfolio of small to medium-sized companies or these who are simply searching for the most powerful WordPress Internet hosting.

This model, or Pixelmon for Minecraft to present it its full title, brings to life an additional 140 or so species of Pokemon which are free to roam in a Minecraft created environment. Indeed, spending an honest period of time on coaching will provide you with a aggressive edge. Since there wasn't any extra solution to play this on-line recreation a very long time ago, I made the choice to purchase the merchandise. Trying different games relatively than Minecraft can be a horrible choice. If you are an extended-time gamer, you understand that considered one of Nintendo's ages-old challenges has been getting third-social gathering builders to make video games for its Television-primarily based consoles. Even a single mod can make the sport much more pleasant, particularly when tailored to your personal interests. You can't memorize the level structure, so you'll have to take into careful consideration your surroundings, what you are able to, and how you can put your skills to proper use.

With some iron blocks and a pumpkin, you can even craft an automatic turret to take down mobs from a distance. But you possibly can learn that shortly whereas putting in. So if you are a gamer that plays on a cellular, i'd recommend this sport and having fun whereas taking part in it on the couch, this is the game to suit your needs! It took me a while to get used to how static these beautifully detailed set pieces are, however I think to essentially grow up games must let visual artists work their very own storytelling magic somehow. Not high. Although set-prime boxes like the Fire Television and OUYA certainly prove that Android games can work on the massive display, there are few compelling reasons to get them if you possibly can afford a better-powered console or a decent laptop. A lightweight, must-have mod in my e book, alongside the Placebo mod which FastWorkbench requires to work. The mod adds birds like Ducks, owls, pelicans, cranes, woodpeckers, swans, flamingos, hummingbirds, and penguins to whichever biome fits them.

The truth that the map lives in a ebook fairly than on a separate screen makes the entire mod really feel rather more pure and immersive than some other map mod I've ever used. And that's all the time something that I aspire to be, because I always wanted individuals around me to really feel better about themselves or really feel higher about life. Playing Minecraft is enjoyable, and why 126 million people are playing today. There are also unique constructions like Sith Temples to be discovered, and there’s the possibility to build classics like Kylo Ren’s lightsaber. You will have all the mandatory instruments to construct big reactors. Being honest is necessary to get you on observe. Likelihood is, you have already got an inventory of mods you’re itching to obtain by the time you get to the bottom of this record. Many of the gaming platforms usually present a beta or demo model of the sport for his or her target audience to get a response from their user base to allow them to meet up with the market and user interest at the same time. Every time Minecraft shows a very good up-date it is probably going to be about the topic better with one another. Though, minecraft will presumably not precisely search that excellent however it confident will provide you with a good journey identical to no different. ALUSKY

Okay but I would LOVE to here your heretical opinions on Padame if you ever want to share them or any of your other views on star wars prequel characters. Your character analysises are INCREDIBLE and really fun to read <3

Oh boy, are you sure about that? Well, the ask has been made so here, we, gooooooooooooooo!

Padme’s one of those strange characters who appears as one thing but in actuality is quite different. Because she appears as the first thing, and it’s something people really like, most people accept that at face value and if she’s not always consistent--well, she came from a series of screenplays written by George Lucas.

Padme comes across as a very noble, kind, and courageous character who is also quite politically savvy. At fourteen, against all odds, she saves her planet from invasion when the Senate did nothing, secured herself an ally in the chancellor (nevermind him being secretly Palpatine), and even after relinquishing her title as queen remains a major player in the senate for years and is seen as enough of a threat to warrant several assassination attempts (one so bad she has to be guarded by Jedi and sent home to Naboo for several weeks).

And I’m not saying she’s not any of these things. Padme is very courageous, is one of those odd politicians who... believes she stands for what she believes in (more on this later), and has a remarkable political career.

However, she’s also romantic to the point of being completely and utterly delusional, self-centered, and frankly a little nuts.

(Yeah, you knew you were waiting for me to say something terrible, WEREN’T YOU?!) Right, so what’s wrong with Padme?

Well, if you look closely at a few of her choices, the ones that never seemed to make much sense, then you can look at her other choices and... Well, it all sort of comes together.

That’s right, I’m talking about “Attack of the Clones” and “Revenge of the Sith”.

Attack of the Clones we have the very lackluster and strange romance of Anakin and Padme.

On Anakin’s end, his infatuation with Padme makes a lot of sense. She was part of the party that rescued him from slavery, she was very kind to him, and was the prettiest girl he’s ever seen in his life. Ten years later, always having harbored a crush on her memory and keeping it alive through whatever news he hears of her, she’s grown into a very beautiful woman and Anakin is by chance introduced back into her life. I get why Anakin falls head over heels for Padme, I’ll get more into this later and how their relationship has some major issues (aside from the obvious), but I understand why he marries this girl out of nowhere even when it could get him thrown out of the Jedi. (As an aside, since this is more of a Padme post, I think Anakin was spurred on in part also by the death of his mother and his massacre of the Tusken Raiders. Anakin’s life was flipped upside down in a very short amount of time, one of his great emotional ties is suddenly gone, and I think he has this internal crisis that culminates in him deciding to marry Padme. Without this, he and Padme may have become lovers, but I don’t think he’d marry her).

On Padme’s end... it’s a little less clear. Anakin has grown into an attractive young man, yes. Take out all of George Lucas’ dialogue, and maybe Padme finds Anakin very charming. However, Padme secretly marries a Jedi she’s known for three weeks. Now, I’d be a bit more forgiving of this, love is love and we can’t always think rationally, but there’s some other things.

Unlike Anakin, Padme hasn’t been spending the past ten years romanticizing her memory of Anakin Skywalker. When they met in Phantom Menace, Anakin was not only five years younger than her, he was nine-years-old. To fourteen-year-old Padme, Anakin was not then dating material and was instead this poor boy in slavery. Which means while Anakin has build up justifying this rapid romance, Padme really doesn’t. What this means is that her romance with Anakin reads a lot more like a romantic fantasy. Cute dashing bodyguard shows up, saves her life, through contrived circumstances they’re sent back to beautiful Naboo where they spend time together, only cute bodyguard is a Jedi and can’t marry, which makes their love excitingly taboo!

Everything Padme does, before and after this point, lends itself to this overdeveloped sense of romance. Padme wants to be whisked away, wants to have this secret unsustainable marriage with a man who cannot be married, she’s in love with the idea of being in love. Given how little time she spends with Anakin, how little they really know of each other, I’d say she’s more in love with the idea of Anakin than Anakin Skywalker himself. And this isn’t a bad thing necessarily, or at least not a grievous flaw, however, that’s not all.

Padme chooses to marry Anakin knowing he murdered an entire village of men, women, and children. She marries him almost immediately after the massacre of the Tusken Raiders. Note, she does not learn about this later and have to come to terms with it, she is right there. She is on Tatooine with him and sees him go to do it and then return.

Padme doesn’t take it... particularly well, that said, she also seems to shove it under the carpet immediately. She, first, marries Anakin within days after this event. She second, never really has a “holy fuck, Anakin” conversation with him. And worst yet, she never confesses to anyone else. Padme is a hypocrite and willing to sacrifice everything she believes in, albeit I believe unwittingly, for her romantic fantasy.

She tells no one about what happened. An entire village was brutally massacred, those who are already poor and oppressed and have no voice, by a man who is supposed to be a protector of all people in the galaxy. I’m sorry, Anakin, but if Padme was who you think she is then she would have to tell the Jedi Order at the very least if not the Republic. Instead, there are no consequences, only Anakin’s descent into guilt and madness as three years pass with it festering in the back of his mind. Padme does not stand for the poor, for the people, or for justice. She only does so when it does not conflict with her own interests, i.e. her actions regarding the invasion of Naboo. More, I do not believe Padme has the introspection to realize this about herself, she never realizes that not narking on Anakin was very very very bad. Three years pass and she lives the whirlwind romantic fantasy that she and Anakin both want. They’re secret lovers/spouses, meeting up at the oddest hours of the day and... This is three years of this ridiculous affair. Three years to come to terms with the fact that something must change. And then the kicker, Padme gets pregnant, and this is where the extra delusional comes in.

The child should have been a signal of the end. There can be no more secret now. Padme is having a child, presumably out of wedlock, and even if space is very very very different from our society I imagine this would be quite the scandal that could even get her thrown out of the senate. I believe Padme mentions as much to Anakin. More, Anakin is no longer a lover, he is now a father. What’s supposed to happen now? They raise this secret child, instructing them that Anakin is only a father in private, never in public?

Anakin and Padme briefly flirt with the idea of Anakin leaving the order. Anakin even wants to do so, but it... never happens. Now is the time it absolutely should happen. Yes, Anakin’s a big part of the war effort, but he could at least start talking to the Order and they could decide if it’d be a slow or fast exit.

My theory, Padme’s too in love with the fantasy. Anakin leaving means he’s no longer a Jedi, it means he’ll come to Naboo, be unemployed and be around. Anakin visiting will no longer be this romantic, fraught with the danger of being found out, passionate, short lived event for Padme. It’ll become real life. He’ll be a real, ordinary man, she’ll be a real, ordinary, woman, and that spark of romance will be gone.

I don’t think Padme wants that.

Which is why, even with the child on the way, we see Anakin and Padme continue to play out this ridiculous secret lovers fantasy. And then, of course, Anakin goes insane off screen.

Padme is told that, once again, Anakin has murdered dozens of children. Of course, this is a terrible thing to be told and she can’t process it. She needs to find Anakin and confront him, but people always criticize Lucas here and feel it’s out of character for Padme to have run to Anakin in sobbing hysterics with no plan of enacting vengence.

Frankly, I think it’s very in character. She did nothing about the Tuskens, remember? I think at the end of the day, the murder of the Jedi children means very little to her. What hurts Padme the most is that the fantasy of Anakin she married is not real. The Anakin she married would never murder the Jedi children, betray the Republic, or do any of what he’s done. And I think Padme only has that strong, iron, will when she knows the world she’s in. With the Trade Federation, her stance was obvious. Her people were being oppressed, butchered, and invaded. In this case, the world she knew no longer exists.

The Republic is gone, perhaps hasn’t existed in thirteen years, as it turns out the senator who had always been her biggest supporter was a Sith Lord. The Jedi are gone, children murdered by Anakin while those in the field are picked off by their own clone soldiers. Padme’s world has fallen apart, and I think that makes it much harder for her to be the girl we saw in Phantom Menace. In time, perhaps, she would have joined the rebellion but... I do think Padme might have also given into despair.

So, yeah, that’s Padme for you.
