#a promise of empires

[crackengolds]

I’ve got you. The ship’s rebooting. You’re alright.

-

A commission of a scene from “A Promise of Empires” from the fantastic Nic on twit! I love their work so much, every piece they create is so full of emotion and sincerity, the kind that evokes Renaissance-era paintings. At least to me. 😊

I’ll add it into Chapter 7 on Ao3 when I finish the next chapter!

The Star Wars fandom is like a case study of what happens when you overthink media intended for children to the point that you’ve completely altered the message and plot that the creator intended. The whole “the Jedi order is evil and Anakin/Vader is the good guy!” Idea fails to take into account the fact that like.. these movies are meant for kids, they’re meant to be easy to follow and easy to understand with obvious good guys and obvious bad guys. Yknow how we know the Jedi are the good guys? - they’re the main characters, they have funny one liners, they kill the evil bad guys who have red laser swords with their blue and green laser swords, they’re relatable, they’re nice, they’re paternal, so on so forth.

I love critical analysis and I’d never speak a word against it, when we consume media we should always take a step back to consider what ideas they’re selling us, what undertones are portrayed, is this supposed to represent a real life problem? But it’s also equally as important to consider who the audience is and how that might impact the story. And ultimately the audience is children, Star Wars is not meant to be a mystery thriller where the good guys are secretly the bad guys which you can only tell when you pick the story apart 20 which ways. The movies could not more clearly tell us who were meant to support. - is it the angry guys with red swords, ugly old guy who shoot’s lighting out of his fingers and takes over the universe, people who blow up planets, chop off their kids hands and blow up planet’s? Or is it the people who wear warm coloured clothing, talk about wanting peace, who tell funny jokes, have heartfelt moments, with blue and green lightsabers, fight against the space fascists and love each other.

Ultimately, Star Wars isn’t that deep, enjoy it for what it is and I promise you’ll enjoy it 100 times more

so you know that feeling when your parents go through your procreate randomly so you don't have time to hide any questionable stuff and its full of fanart of these minecraft youtubers and animes and particularly this one guy who your account is practically a fanpage for, and they look at you weirdly because they have seen a lotta artwork which totally makes sense with context of the videos but seems completely out of left field without it, for example why is there a fish guy holding a book, what is all this blood for, why is there a giant fish lady next to a small ugly guy which you have captioned fish frickers, snails??? plus purple haired guy eating - what is that? what's a coffee jelly? and is that a blond guy in a maid dress? what is the dog-guy doing eating icecream with a blond guy? also why are there references to neck kisses? and also should i be worried about the concerning amount of times you've drawn this one guy in this one single piece of fanart (27 times btw lol) and wow your art is actually kinda good and i didn't know cause the last time you showed me your art was of your underdeveloped oc and bnha which was a year and a half ago. plus if that wasn't weird enough you've got artwork you uploaded to your tumblr signed with your username which you have not told your parents about so now you're worried they're gonna search up your tumblr and maybe see more of the said fanart and even worse your captions but also what have they seen already because i didn't turn of the layers on all my sketches so there's some wild shit on there and also cuss words (yes ik frickers is not exactly the worst cuss word out there, but it is in this economy) and your mom saw you doing your homework on your computer and was like oh are you fanboying again which like wth where did that come from but also mom i've seen some questionable shit on your phone and your dad who isn't exactly familiar with gayish stuff because we're from a pretty conservative country is like oh yeah homophobia bad all of a sudden in the middle of a random conversation about genetics of all things and geezus did i just solve homophobia and also apparently fishphobia in my family with fanart of anime people kissing and minecraft?

*deep breath* yeah....i dunno that feeling either........

draw fanart of anime and minecraft and change the world everybody, one maid dress and fish-person at a time. i love my parents lol

"You haven't been angry since, right?" "No there's no rage just beautiful memories of happiness here."

"The way I look at it, that is my work, this is my homestead. This is where I rest my head." "I like that a lot."

JIMMY NOT GETTING MAD AT TANGO WHEN HE FINDS OUT TANGO IS STAYING AT GOBLAND.

Been awhile, but...

MCYT MULTIVERSAL DIAGRAM UPDATE #5!

As always, any suggested additions or improvements are welcome!

Note, because a lot of people keep making this error:

JUST BECAUSE A CC IS ON MULTIPLE SMPs DOES NOT MEAN THOSE TWO SMPs SHOULD BE CONNECTED ON THE DIAGRAM.

If a cc references another SMP they were on while at least semi-in-character, please do tell me about it, but just because they were in this or that doesn't mean that it's part of the multiverse.

Please try to tell me as much detail as you can, so that I can categorize it better.

The best places to tell me are in replies to/reblogs of this post, my asks, or by messaging me. :)

#mcyt multiversal diagram #empires smp #life series #mcyt #3rd life #new life smp #hermitcraft #origins smp #rats smp #witchcraft smp #pirates smp #dream smp #evo smp #i promise ill stop tagging as many smps soon #i just need the traffic at this point to gather more sources #qsmp

Reasons why it’s probably for the best that Eli Vanto doesn’t show up in Tales of the Empire

There is an 95% chance he will be whitewashed if he shows up especially since Lucasfilm animation has a terrible track record of animating non-white features (if you don’t believe me look up Unwhitewash the Bad Batch)

Thranto is never going to happen in canon even if he does show up so it’s just one less thing for stans to be bitter about

The animated short he is most likely to appear in seems like it’s Morgan Elsbeth centric which means AT BEST he would get a 10 second cameo with no explanation of who he is anyway

Tales of the Empire is likely going to tie directly into Ahsoka (particularly with the aforementioned Morgan Elsbeth episode) and is that really a storyline we want Eli in?

#I want to see Eli outside of the Thrawn trilogy i really do I promise #but also it would be a terrible first appearance #and he deserves something that is actually going to focus on him and not like a 2 second cameo #eli vanto #tales of the empire
