#but never applied for STARS

[bluthcnd-archived]

i’m so lazy about writing verses

#all i know #RE wise? #Sayomi would probably have been part of UBCS #and got out after RE3 #compared to Izumi being a former member of the RPD or STARS #you'd think she'd be law enforcement too but #she probably *did* do a stint in RPD #but never applied for STARS #anyway #post-RE3 #she's probably still a merc #or she signed up for military service

This fic is leaving rent free in my head since a week so go read it: Haunting by @iiidunno : https://archiveofourown.org/works/54832273/chapters/138984958 [Edit] ok I put half a BG 'cause really It was bothering me

#star wars #star wars the bad batch #tbb fanart #tbb fanfiction #never drawn something so complex kill me #Yes I gave up on the color halfway #Anyway the pictures are just here to lure you into reading this fic who again PRINTED in my brain #I want to apply for SW zines so I thought I should draw more complex art #turn out it takes times #idk zine people you tell me #tell me I love doing zines OvO #I mean I will apply to your zine but not with my sw art this will be awkward #ANYWAY I drew theses scenes #it's out of my mind #I can sleep now #god its 3 am what am I doing with my life #The anatomy is flatten on the ground but can only draw weird camera angles or I die #I still think this could be more dynamic but again #drawing people interacting is hard #ok bye

I literally cant imagine beckory any age below 14 because it only works if tony develops as a person and also if they're a bit older + gregory has had time to get used to having friends and family 😭 which is why 12yo default gregory is still 100% a family boy aka his new fam is all he needs for the time being

#listen i only like beckory in a specific circumstance #not changing canon but in events after canon thats a hypothetical #i never thought about shippjng gregory until now because he needed friends and family #leagues more than a ship #and that still applies here to me #i always want to write tony as gregorys friend before the ship #because they need to BECOME friends first #its the unique circumstances of their relationship that im obsessed with jaheisueu #i always portray them older in drawings even if they wear the same outfits #bc thats just my bad for forgetting to change them #but all my beckory art is always in a context where #gregory has 3 star fam and has had them for a bit #and hes been friends with tony and ellis for a while too #so hes had a chance to lean into that routine and get used to having ppl in his life #i think if he started thinking about romance at like 14 #thatd be another good sign for how his life has improved #that he can even think about it at all #yknow #pandas.txt #pandas talks #was just thinking about this today #i never considered shipping gregory in the 2 years hes been by fav #not only bc of the reasons above #but bc the only ship you even could have done was like gregory and evan #and obviously i didnt like that 💀 #evan is the same way in that scenario #where he needs ppl who like him at all and good friends b4 anything

why does it matter to skystar that mapleshade tried killing reedshine? is it because she didn’t “wrong” her like the others?

Basically yeah. At that point it's just a pregnant woman she's trying to murder. That's not revenge that's just spite, in his eyes.

What he liked about the murders of Ravenwing and Frecklewish was that it was retribution. They wronged her, and she got back at them. He LOVES that kind of drama. He would be up in StarClan cheering her on until she got to Reedshine, and then he'd be frustrated.

#If you're wondering if he'd ever apply this to himself? no #No he would not gdfgfds #''Star Flower was evil and disgusting and horrible for what she did to me and thunder is a lil bitch for even hesitating to save me.'' #''anyway mapleshade was cool'' #''God I love always being right and never thinking through any of my beliefs ever'' #BB!Skystar #Better bones au #Your honor he makes me laugh. He is so so straightforward

I think also relevant to the whole "why I dislike Anakin mind-tricking Padme into liking him back" thing is that nobody ever does it in an interesting way. Like... it's always about ameliorating Padme's moral cracks and also bashing Anakin.

Instead of, you know.

Hi. Here's a horror story about a woman trapped in her own mind.

Here's a psychological breakdown as a young man realizes he's subconsciously influencing everyone around him, and cannot safely believe anyone in his life has ever actually loved him.

Here's a story about Padmé raising children she had by a man she thinks didn't even know what he'd done to her.

Here's a story about Padmé becoming so Perfect due to Anakin's belief in her that the handmaidens start wondering if there's something Force going on.

Where's the story where it's a plot instead of a tract.

(Both Doylistically and Watsonianly, her agency is being removed, and for what. Why must people try to iron her out. She's wrinkly. Like humid cotton.)

do i know this is never going to happen? yes. but istg if i don't get one singular mention of eli vanto i'm going to riot

thinking about how anakin and luke both brutally lost their mothers at the same age and how it changed them both irrevocably

Agh ! The fool desperately wants a character to feel happy and have a good ending but the best possible ending for this character, both thematically and for their own good, is a swift death! Everybody laugh and cackle !

#harrowed haunted face. Gabriel ultrakill. #talking #fuck it #ultrakill #starts kicking this guy starts hitting this guy star. this applies to like every character in this stupid game but it was intended for gabe #v2 shoukd remain dead forever.

Saw a post a while ago that mentioned a debate among Star Wars fans and Star Trek fans about the typical who-would-win between a Borg Cube and the Death Star.

I'll leave them to that debate because who-would-win is highly dependent on the plot anyway and that kind of debate only leads to arguments (plus I find it incredibly boring, I'd much rather debate things like the similarities and disparities between human cultures in the two universes, one with and one without Earth, that would be interesting). But what did catch my eye was a mini-debate later on with people discussing whether or not said Cube would detect the Death Star approaching, the argument being that the modes of travel in the two different universes (namely warp and hyperspace) are so different that the Cube wouldn't be able to detect the Death Star until it reverted to real space.

Which reminded me how much I love that the two travel systems are so similar and yet so different.

I won't be able to get too technical, I'm sure some fans know the exact ins and outs of both kinds of space traversal, but the fundamental difference is how the ships attain FTL, or Faster Than Light. Because otherwise space travel takes FOREVER.

In Star Trek they use impulse engines to putter about for more precision maneuvering but use warp engines to achieve FTL, the warp engines 'warping' space by making a subspace bubble around the ship and therefore insulating it from the extreme pressures of breaking normal physics. As you do.

In Star Wars they use sublight engines for the usual puttering and maneuvering but instead they rely on the hyperdrive to achieve FTL which punts the ship into hyperspace, basically a parallel dimension where ships can achieve FTL without undue stress to the ship itself.

In both cases ships can be pulled out of their warp bubbles or their hyperspace streams due to factors in normal space. In Star Wars, for example, there exist Interdictor class ships which produce massive gravity wells, similar to those of moons or any other significant cosmic body which forces ships to drop out of hyperspace in order to avoid crashing into said body. (This also makes jumping into hyperspace too close to a planetary body incredibly risky. Not impossible, mind, but there is a reason planetary governments have a minimum distance allocated for incoming and outgoing ships.) Star Wars also makes a big deal out of Hyperspace Lanes (there was an entire war fought over them at one point) which are routes that have been confirmed to be empty of any cosmic phenomena discounting the occasional asteroid that wanders in. They're used as major shipping lanes and commercial passenger transports as a result. You can, of course, elect not to use the routes but you run the risk of encountering surprises even with a navicomputer.

In Star Trek the same rules seem to apply with various cosmic phenomena able to disrupt the warp drive and pull the ship out of warp, whether it be extreme gravimetric distortions that require precision piloting to avoid or nebula too thick for the engines to filter or, really, the list goes on. Could be anything from a nebula to the glowing green hand of a supposed Greek god stopping you from going to warp.

But regardless of the actual metrics of the two kinds of space travel, I find the idea that neither ship would be expecting the other to just appear incredibly amusing.

Neither universe would have any experience with a ship that travels in a space bubble or a ship that just casually drops in from another dimension and really why focus on inter-fandom discourse when you can focus on the incidental comedy?

#star wars #star trek #lore #star wars lore #star trek lore #space travel #there's also that wee detail that staring into the swirling blue of hyperspace has been proven to drive people insane #because its literally another dimension not meant to be seen by humanoid eyes #Darth Vader repeatedly spends ages on the bridge just staring into Hyperspace a lot #I can never decide if he's doing it to punish himself or just to prove to himself that he can without completely losing it #I mean it's Anakin “I'm so dramatic and tragic watch me” Skywalker so both could apply #can just imagine a Republic officer taking a Starfleet officer on a tour through a Venator and they reach the bridge #“Ah here we are. Please don't look outside.” #“What? Why?” #“Well you can but please keep it to brief glances. No more than five minutes at a time. Or you'll lose your mind in short order.” #Maybe the only kinds of people that can stand looking into Hyperspace are Jedi and Vulcans #They see it as a mental gym #A test of their mental mettle

This week’s Mando reminded me of how I can never truly vibe with the post-ROTJ era. To me, ROTJ is a perfect fairy-tale ending to years of strife and sacrifice. Not just between Empire and Rebellion, but between light and dark itself.

And yet, even when the Empire’s defeated, even when Palpatine has “died” the conflict just... goes on. The galaxy doesn’t seem to change all that much. Empire or New Republic, it feels like it doesn’t matter. 

I understand that this is more realistic, and I’m all for expanding the world and exploring its nuances. But there’s something about the way that original trilogy ended (with added context of the prequels) that just makes every awful thing we see happen after feel like a gut punch. 

#star wars #this doesn't just apply to mando btw #the sequels and legends stories have made me feel this way also #don't get me wrong plenty of good things have come out of the post-rotj era #and yeah yeah the battle between good and evil is never-ending yadda yadda #but it's just sad to contemplate sometimes

Inspired by @dangracoon s out of context family quotes.

Please enjoy the Bad Batch as out of context CB conversations between my coworkers and myself.

Hunter: What took you so long getting back to the field.

Wrecker: I had to use the truck to stop traffic so I could help a momma duck and her ducklings cross the road.

Echo: oh that's valid

Tech: If it leaks oil it has oil.

Echo: I can follow your leak down the road like a bread crumb trail.

Tech: Well you won't get lost then will you?

Crosshair: I gave my Coke dealer our CB frequency so she can tell me when she pulls up to the field.

Cid: sup fuckers

Hunter: you WHAT?!

Wrecker: why does your dealer have a CB in her car??

Omega: 🎶Baby shark do do dodo🎶

Echo: Omega sweet heart we love it when you come to work with your dad but if you don't stop singing into the CB I'm going to drive myself into on coming traffic.

Crosshair: The tritcale bag at the dairy is looking thick this morning.

Crosshair: I should call her.

Echo: I'm so fucking tired.

Hunter: did I just see you shot gun a Monster??

Echo: mind ya business

Crosshair: this field is so rough I feel like I need a safeword

Hunter: Did you just jump in the canal??

Wrecker: yeah some of us don't get the luxury of getting to drive a truck with working AC

Hunter: haha fucking peasant

Crosshair: oh to be a dairy cow and get my titties sucked on a daily schedule.

Crosshair: I should really call her.

Hunter: why are Wrecker and Crosshair not answering their CBs?

Tech: They swapped to a different channel to talk to long haul truckers on the highway.

Wrecker: so guess who just got invited to join a cult?!

Crosshair: Tritcale in this field looking fuckin wet today

Hunter: if you don't fucking call her I will and you don't want that

#star wars #the bad batch #tbb wrecker #tbb crosshair #tbb echo #tbb omega #tbb tech #tbb hunter #yall i wish some of these were a joke #working in a place where most labor standards and laws are not applied is wild #never a dull moment

SPECIAL HEADCANON I’VE BEEN WORKING ON which i may or may not write a future drabble about, but for now, just a simple post will do since i’ve been developing these with some dear writing partners of mine. to put it simply, since i’ll also be integrating this from hereon, my aether has a lowkey god complex when it comes to his (im)mortality.

as i’ve stated in a lot of other headcanon posts, he isn’t human; he’s a star-forged deity, a caeling. this means that his species is meant to live for billions of years, just like real stars would. he and lumine are quite young in comparison to other caelings, being around three thousand years old each. they are (or, well, were) known to be all-powerful, controlling cosmic elements and what have you, loved and respected by the astros above in the sea of stars, the prime of fighters and universe’s willmakers. therefore, having battle scratches or getting hurt was a luxury they’d experience once in a thousand years.

ever since falling in teyvat, aether lost his wings, his divinity, his strength, his ability to communicate with the stars, as well as his connection with lumine—he knows all of that, and he grieves deeply, for he feels those losses in his very core. but he doesn’t realise that, since he’s bound in teyvat by its laws and concepts, his very being bends to them. he’s stronger than most, sure, but that doesn’t mean he’s much more resistant than a regular vision holder human. and he refuses to see that (perhaps because he doesn’t sense it immediately). he bleeds a black, thick type of blood—yet because he has never been injured that badly before, it’s unconceivable to him to even consider that that blood on his hands is his. death doesn’t come easily as a concept to him either—others can die, it’s life’s natural cycle for humans and mortals alike, but him and lumine? no. that can’t be… right? so even if his vision is blurry and he’s dizzy, feeling his energy wearing out, he won’t ever think that there’s any actual danger to himself. he’s a warrior. he was designed for this. to fight, to protect, to serve. he can’t lose this, too.

#death / #❛ㅤ𓆩✦𓆪ㅤ:ㅤheadcanon﹔ㅤㅤ/ㅤㅤsecrets from the stars. #aether is so used to NOT being affected by sickness and/or powerlessness that he doesnt think those things apply to him #he'll legit have a spear in his chest and look so confused as to why there's a “black goo” coming out of him #he has never seen that. he has never experienced that for himself or lumine #it's an absurd concept #so it's one of the reasons as to why he may sometimes be so reckless and impulsive if he deems right #although he admires mortals and humans he's used to being the 'outlander'; the 'different one'. how can he be then so similar to them #when it comes to vulnerability and mortality? #it's wild to believe that he could ever belong anywhere. as in. a physical material world. #because the stars (who are kinda bitches in my lore) made him believe that his and lumine's destinies were to wander forever #never home. never resting. never finding anything to consider 'theirs'. they're just order-keepers; travellers; doers. #not meant for kindness or love or homes. and he has ingrained that thought process in his head even if he tries to deny it #he wants very badly to belong. to be as close as a human as a he can be. #but he rly doesnt see that as being possible #sighs in love this got so long DAKSDJG i love aether genshinimpact
