being an og mcyt stan who left for a while and then came back during the resurgence is so funny because inthelittlewood exists on two completely different planes of existence for me. my brain, for whatever reason, cannot fathom that the guy creating a narrative in which he is trapped in a death game, tormented by gods far beyond our comprehension and the knowledge that he can never again serve the king he swore himself to, is the same guy who sang screw the nether

#like. they do not connect in my brain #deep down i know they're the same guy #but really #are they?#inthelittlewood #mcyt #life series #yogscast

Lightsaber Theory: Obi-Wan "Sith Lords are Our Specialty" Kenobi consistently loses duels to Dooku not for any reason of technical form mismatch or lack of ability, but because Dooku is not even pretending to try to kill him. Resultantly, Obi-Wan can’t figure out what the fuck is going on when they fight.

Obi-Wan: (preparing to defend an expected lethal strike) You’ll answer for your enormities, Count!

Dooku: (giving him the lightest love tap on the leg) Don’t be so sure, my special good lineage baby boy, so perfect in my eyes.

Obi-Wan: …What?

Dooku: What?

Which Dooku and Obi-Wan proud lineage moment is even the most unhinged? There are so many to choose from! Is it Dooku’s frequent inability, both in AotC and TCW, to keep from spontaneously gushing about Sidious’s plans and even his own dark secrets to Obi-Wan?? Is it the time in Labyrinth of Evil where Dooku drags a long-suffering, bored Grievous over to watch a holorecording of Anakin and Obi-Wan thwarting his plans yet again, to point out how beautifully they’re working together as a team and how much he likes watching their lightsaber work evolve? Is it in the recent Brotherhood novel, where Obi-Wan just has to casually namedrop Qui-Gon to get Dooku to do exactly what he wants?

Obi-Wan is a big problem for Sidious in his mission to destabilize and corrupt Anakin, and Sidious knows it. He needs him out of the picture to do the same isolating, evil bullshit that worked so well when ensnaring Dooku himself. But the war has been going on for years now, and guess who remains inconveniently alive? And whose job was that to take care of? Oh yeah. I remember. His useless, Padawan assassin-collecting apprentice: fucking Count Dooku. By the time of RotS, Sidious has specifically ordered Dooku to make fucking sure Obi-Wan is dead only for him to completely ignore the command about a half-dozen times.

Going by the Stover RotS novelization, in the same scene where Dooku also literally refers to Obi-Wan as his fucking grandson actually, add that to our earlier list, Sidious reiterates that KILL OBI-WAN is the plan (over the sound of Dooku’s loud complaining) moments before that final duel. I kind of wish we’d gotten a shot of Sidious's incredulous, enraged expression as Dooku knocks Obi-Wan unconscious and pins him safely out of the way. He is, once again, going out of his way to not kill Obi-Wan in that duel, and this time directly disobeying his Master to his face after they just had a conversation about it. You just know exactly what Sidious must be thinking at that moment. Oh, Dooku. You are so fucking fired.

#count dooku #obi wan kenobi #darth sidious #disaster lineage #lightsaber nerd stuff #the clone wars #revenge of the sith #star wars books #Sidious is so done #you know he had to wake up every morning of Dooku's apprenticeship and just repeat a calming mantra about not killing him yet #oh no the notoriously defiant rule breaker Jedi I corrupted is acting like a notoriously defiant rule breaker #but really #I love that Dooku was secretly (not so secretly) proud of Obi-Wan

Toastystats: Goncharov on AO3

The fandom for this 1973 film has seen a surprising resurgence as we near the movie's 50th anniversary. While the Tumblr fandom is especially active, I thought I'd take a quick peek at activity over on AO3. Keep in mind, of course, that because this was an older film, many more fanworks may have been posted shared in zines, or in early internet websites or mailing lists. I don't know how many of those have migrated over to AO3.

(Note: I grabbed this data just over 2 hours ago, and in the meantime, 18 new fanworks have been posted! These stats are based only on the first 40 works.)

Also viewable as Google Slides. Data is here; thanks to Flamebyrd's AO3 Work Stats bookmarklet for the fast data scrape.

(P.S. If you're confused by this, see here, or here -- where I made my original threat (in the tags) to do fandom stats.)

#goncharov #fandom stats #toastystats #ao3 #unreality #i am a goof #but really #fandom is collectively a goof #50 #100 #500 #1K #btw the fic and stats are real!#only tagged unreality for the movie #5K
