[bcneheaded]

HELLOOO I don't want to reblog the post!! bc I don't necessarily mean to put this here as a way of continuing it!! but!! I did want to put this writing here with the link to the original open starter from someone else for context of the following writing :'0 I just wanted to have an example of Badru!

Here (x) is the original reblog to the following text, in case yall wanna see whats before this one; just wanted to show what it's like to interact with the big benevolent shadow entity <3

~~

How long had it been here for, wandering the premises in search of... in search of... was it in search of something? In curiosity perhaps of... something it could not quite place. It wasn’t bad, at least it didn’t think it was. Whatever it was that had drawn it to this old place. It simply was, just as it was. It would know what it was when it found it, in any case. For now...

There’s a a flicker of a shadow that moves between two doorways down the hall the young woman faced. Something humanoid, and yet... Not quite right. Not quite familiar. It didn’t mean any harm, or malice. And it made that known to the delicate human senses that entered the vicinity by offering a Not Feeling-- extending a feeling of nothing. No prickles of the neck, no goosebumps, no sense of dread or Not Right-ness. The otherworldly did tend to instill a silent panic within the living, and he did not want anyone to think he meant any harm. He did not. And thus... Silence of the sixth sense is what he offered. He only wanted to be left to explore in peace, as he was certain others wished as well. But alas..

A voice. A greeting calls out to no one. To it? Was she addressing them? Itself? How curious of her, to seek out shadows in an old building that held so many echoes of much grander interest than he ever could be. And then it makes a noise. Oops. Dropped the music box. It didn’t work anymore, sadly. But the ballerina inside inched to the left, wanting to make a little spin as she lay sideways in her box, now open on the floor.

He leaves it. It would take too much energy at present to pick up the physical object. He didn’t need to; someone else of the living would, no doubt.

Was it here? Was he? Sort of. She speaks to him as if she knows he’s there, like she believes there is something--someONE other than flesh. There is an odd sort of respect in her voice, even as she admonishes the invisible thing that tiptoed through the dark corners of the home. But she’s right, isn’t she? It isn’t very nice. Had it scared her? Oops, again.

A black cat meanders from the doorway, to the next room across from where the woman faced, stopping for just a second to look at her with its odd eyes-- eyes that looked too white, too reflective with so little light in the old building. She had been speaking to it, hadn’t she?

<<  Scared  of   me  ? >>   Comes a whisper when it disappears. It hangs in the air all around, from no direction. Non descript. Barely audible; barely reaching the weak human senses. Had it been recorded, as “ghost hunters” enjoy doing it has discovered, it’s likely it would have been written off as a ghostly voice... again. It’s not a ghost though-- at least it thinks it’s not.

-- It is a question, not one of ill intent. But curiosity. Confusion even. A gentle voice, and yet not a voice. It was like... many letters of a foreign language being plucked from the air and placed beside the human’s mind, offered in an odd, though amalgamated form-- words and feelings able to be comprehended by the living. A thought? And yet... Not quite. Something else. Something... different... ah, bother... to explain it would be too difficult. Anyone else in the room probably would have “heard” it too, at least. But it was just them, so they did not... Only she. And that was okay. She was curious too.

The shape of the cat is gone, and now the dark wispy form of a dog sits in that other room, eyes of light staring out of the window from the corner. Watching as children run across the street, yipping and laughing to themselves. The Thing of interest was not them.... but it was closer now. In this room, maybe? He waits where he is though. Guarded by the shade of the half drawn curtains. It wasa peaceful little home, wasn’t it? It’s tail flicks back and forth, gently like a plume of smoke. Passing through the leg of the side table, causing a bit of a wobble to the object atop it. 

#( ooc ) #( tbd ) #? maybe tbd #this is a writing example !! of what its like to interact with Badru :0 if anyone is interested but wasnt sure what the vibe is for him #and yet still its not entirely 100% what the vibe is hdjfdgjdf here in this one hes ? interacting with someone whos exploring a ''haunted'' #house! calling out to the entity - or whatever is actually in there. its badru though. hes a little spooky in himself but hes kind and mean #means* well. hes just really otherworldly sometimes is all hgdyhudjfg #but yes actually i do recommend seeing the (x) for context bc 1) context good and 2)leah good love leah big recommend

[mmmmulbery]

Hiii do you have any story suggestions where one could look a little bit more into Eichis and Yuzurus relationship??

Ok so there's a short answer to this and a long answer. Honestly these probably rent the best answers in the world, but this is off the top of my head!! Hope you're having a good day nonny!

1. Summer vacation (Undead x fine es! Story. However it is also the yuzuru racism story) there's an important bit here imo abt how yuzuru views eichi during this era!!!​ Something something leading him by the nose

1.5. This is not yzei centered but Hot Winter from es!! Was so very important to me and this also ties into the long answer but: we get a really good yzwt scene, alongside the context of eichi uh. Kinda inciting this whole thing anyways. Read hot winter anyways all of fine is a package deal sometimes. Also the one scene where eichis just watching the branco thing.

2. Jingle bells... (?) amazing and important fine story in general (?) also sets up a lot for how their relationship is at the moment.

3. Tempest!!!​ Honestly to everyone everyone but me this is wtei to me this was yzwt. Haha this one is just more context to how fine functions as a group. Very important yzwt development imo. Something abt how they go off. Return with yuzuru all black and blue and wataru doesn't stop it.

4. Butler of the midnight masion! 's story. Im gonna be honest this one is just more for the funsies but its a good story if u want to see tori tsukasa Little miss himemiya, yuzuru, and eichi all in the same room and hope no one buried a landmine.

5. Put them on your homescreen and click until they start being grossly domestic! I highly recommend this its hilarious. Yes eichi. The air con was on eichi.

6. This is a stretch but dammit. Sanctuary. Probably. Its painful but seeing eichi fall back on his old habits, including asking yuzuru to help him keep things from tori. Insane.

7. Scout! Military es! Era - blue hawk survivor yuzuru fushimi card -the nerf gun one. Yuzuru gets led by the nose willingly abt eichi

Ok so now we're getting into questionable territory bc i never remember what these exact stories r called but theyre good

A) they go on an amusement park date (this is during one of ryuseis stories, i think) and yuzuru acts both as a babysitter and as a wife weeping for his beloved gone in the war (tori was off training with wataru)

B) ive heard. Things about fist of shangrila. I have not read it myself.

C)​ day dream. U dont actually have to read this this is just where eichi calls yuzuru sexy.

D) hm. A Lot of stories in which yuzuru sort of mention fine as a whole exist, and in a very loved way.

This brings me into the long answer called eichi and yuzuru to me are characters so intrinsically in love with eachother by proxy of loving someone who stands next to the other. This is actually a triangle, rather, sometimes its a square. fine!! (applause sfx)

#I might fix b redo this but. Sorry ik about to fall asleep #I strsight uo went yh. The halloween event #I was thiniing abt cater diamind idkw hy

[thegirlwholied]

SW anon - So I have tried to watch the whole thing before but I could never really get past the start. I watched ep IV a few years back (and in 2018 I watched it while it playing with a live orchestra which really enhanced the experience) and ofc I’ve known most of what happens bc my mom and brother have been fans of it (and ofc all the references to it in shows and it being everywhere) but the thing about the original trilogy that I found difficult to watch was very much the acting being off

Gov SW anon continued - but I think I’m gonna watch the clone wars show next as I feel like the general universe and people speak to me more than the skywalker and co. story speaks to me. But I’ll probably try and get back to the prequels afterwards (at least just to have seen them) but also bc I’ve been on tumblr for so long and I’ve encountered so much about the new movies with Finn, Poe and rey (I already know I don’t like kylo) that I’m interested to see what comes before that

Seeing Ep IV with a live orchestra sounds fantastic as the music is incredible. <3

I must admit I haven’t gotten properly into the Clone Wars show! I’ve tried, & did jump in to (and enjoy) the finale ~ and certain Mandalorian episodes strongly remind me of the show’s tone ~ but it has yet to hit me right in the place where I care. What I appreciate about it & what it’s brought into the Star Wars universe is still on a more distant level, not visceral. 

I most love that The Mandalorian is truly exploring & taking advantage of the wider Star Wars universe beyond Skywalker & co. (but boy do I also love Skywalker & co.) There is an exciting amount of potential in the newly-announced projects too I love characters outside of a universe’s main chosen-one story. In 6th grade, I was obsessed with the X-Wing book series, which were definitely really marketed toward adult guys but whoops, I had found the deep Star Wars section of the library! And the first line of that series, introducing the main character, is “You’re good, but you’re no Luke Skywalker.” And in a way, that’s the Mandalorian too, to the audience if not himself ~ good, but no Luke Skywalker. Not a Jedi, not meant to bring balance to the Force, a sidestory in the main universe’s struggle.  I (from what I’ve seen/know of) get the impression that’s how Ahsoka sees herself ~ ‘you’re good, but you’re no Anakin Skywalker’. 

Of course, for that contrast to work, first you need a Luke Skywalker.

it’s interesting you mention OT acting feeling off as I would use that exact word to describe how I feel about the acting in some episodes of The Mandalorian. In some I love it! Other times... I hesitate to say ‘like a video game’ as I mean no insult to the well-developed video game characters out there but yeah, it hits me like the actor’s aware they’re essentially in a live-action video game cut scene.

But. I truly love the acting in the original trilogy! ...but also as I type this I’m watching a movie from 1944 and acting style certainly varies by decade, & mileage varies as to personal taste... but also I will never be objective about Star Wars which I have loved since I was six... but also I studied film history in college and firmly believe Star Wars, the original trilogy is just objectively good if not quite everybody’s cup of tea (...okay maybe Return of the Jedi is not quite as objectively good, but I still love it so much and given the work it had to do wrapping up the original trilogy, hey, it did its job successfully and with Ewoks). 

I love the twinkling, wry humor & also gravitas of Alec Guinness. There’s that sense of amusement as he talks to Han, as he waves off the storm troopers, and even in the “let go, Luke”... but always the right weight in the right moments imho

Luke & Han particularly can both be petulant in different ways, & they’re all quippy & brash & even cavalier at times in what in context ~ especially when you rewatch A New Hope right after Rogue One ~ in Very Serious Situations! and I love them for it. 

Carrie Fisher’s accent does shift in the one scene (which I have never minded and definitely went around as a kid trying to say ‘Governor Tarkin’ exactly the way she does), and young Mark Hamill’s Luke can be Dramatic & the Most Petulant but understandably (& prettily) so, and... yeah I probably could muster a criticism for Harrison Ford but also I *can’t*! There are some ridiculous Han Solo moments in Return of the Jedi especially, but also I love him/them/just about every choice these movies made. They just hit on magic.

The magic’s there for me from the music swelling as Luke looks yearningly into the twin suns (the cinematography!), but where it really hits is the up-and-running chemistry between all three of the main actors starting the “Luke, we’re gonna have company” scene, and then, boom, it’s the garbage chute, it’s the you’re-braver-than-I-thought/he-certainly-has-courage, for-luck, here-they-come of it all and the movie is flying. 

...and I will never forgive the sequels for, avoiding spoilers as it sounds like you’re familiar but haven’t seen them, not giving us any true interaction scenes between Rey & Finn & Poe all together until the 3rd movie. While I still so appreciated finally getting that & what we got, for me it was just not just too little but too late. I love the casting & acting for all 3 of those characters, but while fandom’s taken and run with the combination, and they had plenty of chemistry... it should have been up-and-running so much sooner. 

And the prequels just... well, even seeing them in theaters at a susceptible age, the Lord of the Rings movies were coming out at the same time and that did them no favors in comparison. As someone who judges movies above all on dialogue, that... also did them no favors. (Beyond the OT I may have a Nontraditional ranking of Star Wars movies). 

The short version of my prequels & sequels take is that both missed that cinematic magic for me, outside of certain scenes, though I still enjoy them as part of The Whole Thing That Is Star Wars Which I Love. Rogue One had that magic; I know and see the criticism of the early editing & introduction-of-Jyn’s-background-and-Krennic-and-Galen scene, but, to me, that movie is perfect. Solo was solid - maybe not magic, but reliably enjoyable, and I’ve been meaning to rewatch. The prequels & sequels... the lows are very low and the highs are very high, in terms of how they hit me. 

I feel like I’d probably sum them up as Prequels: Good Star Wars, Bad Movies, and Sequels: Good Movies, Bad Star Wars, which may seem a little harsh or too kind on one side or another but gets at my take at the worldbuilding vs. just the cinema of it all. The bread scene in Force Awakens, the salt planet in Last Jedi, the dyad-duel-in-dual-locations in Rise of Skywalker? Gorgeous. Individual scenes’ acting & dialogue is sound for me. And yet. All three sequels’ choices in respect to the entire Star Wars universe and existing characters AND its new characters? ...Tonally inconsistent with each other *and* ultimately with the themes of the OT. Whereas the prequels did so much worldbuilding, and its politics, and I’ll see gifs and think ‘yes actually, is it better than I remember?’... and then I’ll catch one on TV & it’s the Padme & Anakin romance or even Anakin & Obi-Wan’s buddy scene dialogue at the beginning of Rise of Skywalker and the answer will come, clearly: “noooooooooooooooo.”

(...this got long. Which I tend to do when I care, about fiction in any form, and with the prequels/sequels: the ingredients were there to be magic. And just-misses are more frustrating than swing-and-misses. A la, you won’t find me complaining about the Star Wars Holiday Special!) 

(...OK so I haven’t seen all of the Star Wars Holiday Special, and I’m sort of aiming to watch it through this holiday season, since what other year than 2020 seems more appropriate? So I won’t promise not to complain about the Holiday Special but I mostly expect to laugh at it.)

(That said I found the Lego Star Wars Holiday Special an absolute, surprising, laugh-out-loud delight; 9/10 would recommend & yes, 1 point deduction as I will nitpick character consistency even when they are Legos.)
