#i hate palpatine so so much

[weregonnabecoolbeans]

The bad batch is an amazing show and here is my proof:

It has accomplished the highly unlikely but let’s be honest it doesn’t take much for me to care about stuff impossible!!

It has made me care about Sheev’s dumbass return in The Rise of Skywalker

#until this show i’ve just been living in denial about that movie #my thoughts were just ‘stop making another super secret project for paply boy he already has the death star’ #but now that i am completely obsessed with Omega #i am so invested in this plot #who would’ve guessed #that a small child with the biggest heart who’s an absolute bad ass would get me to care about a plot I hate #i mean i probably would’ve guessed literally all it ever takes for me to care about a plot is a character I love #anyways yeah i’m not read to say goodbye to this show #it means too much to me #star wars #the bad batch #the rise of skywalker #star wars animation #project necromancer #sheev palpatine #emperor palpatine #tbb omega #the clone wars #the bad batch season 3 #kate's post

I just find it mind-boggling that some people will reblog things like “Anakin didn’t care about Rex and his men, he wouldn’t listen to Fives just because he was friends with Palpatine” and then in the next post be gushing over Rexwalker/Rexanidala like???? so you agree. Anakin does care about Rex?

#some people will literally hate on either Anakin or the Jedi council for reasons that explicitly contradict the point of the prequels #and then YOU'RE either toxically positive or condoning abuse for liking all the characters and having a nuanced view of things #the takes I mentioned in the body of this post literally wiped out the fact that Palpatine groomed and manipulated him for Years just so- #-they could say “wow the clones didn’t deserve what that horrible guy Anakin did to them” #me: okay. so you’re saying they didn’t deserve for him to show kindness and friendship and help reinforce the mindset of individuality they #-already had and that the majority of jedi encouraged because they are a group who treasure individuality and have compassion on everyone & #-all things??? #Anakin could be a shit person but he wasn’t to the clones and I will die on this hill #“he enslaved them” you’re pinning that on ANAKIN. a literal former slave. not the Republic or the Kaminoans? #he would have 0 reason to enslave them because he knows what that’s like. he’s been through that #why. WHY do people blame Anakin or the Jedi for 100% of everything going wrong instead of Palpatine. #you can blame Anakin for the choices he made and the Jedi Order for the oversights and legalism they started to have during the war #but enslavement of the clones??? not listening to Fives because of Palpatine??? #if you want to blame Anakin for the clones being slaves you have to blame the rest of the Jedi too #and we all know how rare it is for ‘Anakin antis’ to also be ‘Jedi order antis’ #quotation because there is a certain connotation and generalisation that comes with those phrases these days #I just don’t understand why Anakin is to blame for that specifically. blame him for being angry and violent and obsessive and turning to th #dark side logic+morals be damned to save one person yes but slavery??? he didn’t know about the chips and if he did you bet your ass he- #-would hate them just as much as the slave monitors on Tatooine #anyway #I want to see both sides of the debate i really do because some people have really good points on character motivations etc #but it’s getting ridiculous at this point. I always try to be a calm and positive space but some of y’all’s takes are contradictory bullshi #Fandom salt #swift talks #Swift rambles in the tags #vent #Jedi positive #meta #ish? #jedi positivity

Does this person even get Rex, also how would Anakin allow Palpatine to mind control the Clones? It feels like no matter what happened, Palpatine would have used Order 66 to have the Clones kill the Jedi, that was the whole reason why he had them made in the first place, Anakin is not to blame for Order 66. Also funny how they leave out Luke in this post, probably because they know if they had Luke complaining about how Anakin/Vader treated him then people would point out that Luke was out of character because he had faith in his father. Same goes for Padmé, but I feel like they did that more because they think that Padmé wouldn’t complain about her husband because they think she has a fascist kink which is a creepy way to look at Padmé.

#star wars #jedi critical #pro jedi dni #tired of this shit #this is so stupid #what is wrong with this person #only palpatine is to blame for order 66 #he would have done order 66 even if anakin never fell to the dark side #i wish that this person would stop talking about rex #they don’t get rex as a character #they just want rex to hate anakin as much as they do

angsty reminder that palpatine gave vader padme's ship just to mess him up and vader took it to mustafar and burned it so now it exteriorizes his emotions. also he flew there on it when he went to build his castle so he actually uses the ship :-(

Finished the Umbara arc for the first time. Nothing is okay.

#star wars #the clone wars #umbara arc #i was so mad at this guy the whole arc #calling them by their numbers and holding a lightsaber on fives and obviously trying to get the men killed #and just generally being the worst person the galaxy has ever seen since palpatine #but holy crap. sending them in to kill each other. #seeing their devastation at realizing they’d all been shooting their brothers #that is horrifically dark and krell is a monster #he got waxer killed 😭 i can’t deal with that. not waxer. #now boil will be alone and oh heavens what if he brings waxer’s helmet back to numa for her to have #i hate this so much 😭 #@ the writers why you gotta be so good at your jobs

Star Wars VII breaks my heart a little bit because I LOVED Rey in the force awakens. Scavenging for parts no makeup wearing an old x wing pilot helmet chewing with her mouth open marking the days on the wall. Bonds with every droid or human she comes across. Scrappy and alone and endlessly optimistic. I wanted to see HER character arc. But instead she lost every defining personality trait, became the world’s most generic protagonist, and kissed the man who psychologically tortured her and also committed genocide.

#For the record I’m also devastated about Finn and Poe #just… those movies could’ve been so good man. i could’ve loved those characters so much #star wars #rey skywalker #reylo hate #(I think the Rey Skywalker thing would’ve gone way harder if they let her actually be no one™️ I think making her a palpatine was dumb asf) #is it cringe to still be mad about reylo? Absolutely. Nonetheless #also if they weren’t cowards we would have had stormpilot #No one hates Star Wars more than Star Wars fans

[antianakin]

I don't like Anakin unless it's the AU Anakin I made up in my head who is almost completely different from canon Anakin because I changed enough of the Jedi's history and his own history that he may as well be a different character.

#anti anakin #anti anakin skywalker #i literally gave him and obi-wan a dyad that came into being the moment anakin was born #so he's had exposure to obi-wan for longer than he can remember #obi-wan literally living in his head #from infancy #he left tatooine at like 4 years old #also i had the jedi basically kicked out of the republic like 150 years earlier #so no influence from palpatine and he doesn't meet padme until he's fully an adult #this also leaves qui-gon and obi-wan free to help free shmi before anakin leaves tatooine #i just said: 'i'm gonna remove every temptation anakin's ever had and only THEN toss him into a warzone and a bad relationship' #it went really well #i'm quite fond of that au's anakin #he's occasionally an idiot but he's also v much a real good person #not a fake good person #he has never believed in fascism #he doesn't take advantage of women #he's not attached to people #he's not space racist #he is bi and in love with ferus olin instead of hating him for no good reason #i just removed all of the aspects of anakin's character that make him a villain lol #and those are all of anakin's aspects #so he may as well be a totally new character #i may as well have made an oc and just slapped anakin's name on him

Who is your most disliked star wars character and why 👀

Oddly enough I don't tend to dislike characters. The most I get is indifference, just a complete non-opinion.

Actually wait no

Rush Clovis

I suppressed my memories of those episodes so hard I forgot he existed. Though it's more the writing choices rather than the character himself I dislike. I'll admit, I only ever watched the Clovis episodes once and that was several years ago so I don't remember them very well at all.

I think mostly I just dislike that the writers used him to get Padme and Anakin both to behave in ways that are entirely out of character for their movie counterparts, and it pisses me off to no end. Like, I'm fine with characters acting ooc, but only when the writers give me a convincing reason to why they're behaving that way. I actually find that really interesting! For me it's less a question of if someone is acting out of character and instead what would it take for them to behave this way realistically? And those episodes episodes failed spectacularly at that.

Honestly, it's probably the wasted potential more than anything else that annoys me.

#it's actually very hard for me to dislike a character #even ones i find annoying like jar jar or c3po i still find things to love about them #i think it's my habit of looking at characters and asking 'what made you this way?' that always gets me invested in them #i want to know what kind of person would make those choices. what is the history that created this? how do these characters view themselves #and how do they interact with the world around them #i think that's why i have a lot of love for characters that my subset of fandom has a tendency to bash like qui-gon or mace windu #they're so much more interesting to me as well rounded characters with flaws and virtues than as punching bags to hate on #or characters like palpatine who could so easily be one note 'pure evil' villain but actually can have so much depth and complexity if you #do the legwork

[skyyworker]

there’s something about this that’s killing me. he’s so. cute.

anakin wearing a face mask around sidious because he’s a senile old man and he may be a sith lord but covid is out to get his ass. au where covid kills sidious and anakin turns back to the light side, finds luke, leia and obi-wan and they lived happily ever after bye

#anakin skywalker #obi-wan kenobi #owk series #owk behind the scenes #owk a jedi's return #obi-wan kenobi: a jedi's return #me at literally every single chance i get: anyways sidious dies and- #hayden really is too pretty #i wanted to see him with long hair in the series this is devastating #darth sidious #sheev palpatine #i hate him so much its unbelievable

[rochenn]

i always felt like everyone in tcw moved past the umbara massacre way too easily. like, seriously? no investigation into krell's betrayal? no follow-up on the alleged connection to dooku? anakin isn't at least a little pissed at whoever sent krell to replace him? that whole operation just STINKS of sidious pulling strings to make him distrust his fellow jedi more.

#long story short i am writing a fic in which obi wan‚ rex and others investigate this #it may or may not end in obi-wan slipping towards the dark side. and the clones slowly becoming a palpatine hate group #but honestly krell just echoed what dooku said to obi on geonosis so like. there's so much mystery there #i am unwell

Ok i love Star Wars but i feel like a problem it has is we just can’t comprehend the mass of a galactic civilization.

The empire is kind of an analogy for attempted world domination I guess, but the republic and the confederacy/separatists kind of seem like two conuntries, even tho it’s meant to be like two political parties that multiple planets/countries are part of (maybe like the allies and the axis in wwii?) I also don’t know really anything about Star Wars pre phantom menace in the timeline sooooo idk how the galaxy was organized before.

And then there’s the fact that Star Wars treats entire planets like they are just countries. That’s what I mean when I say we cannot comprehend the existing in such a large society. People go to a planet and hang out in like one city in Star Wars and call it a day.

we never really explore different climates on different parts of a planet. We rarely see different cultures on one planet. (You’re telling me the entire planet of Naboo is only inhabited by the Gungans and the Naboo??? Yeah right) we don’t explore much differentiation in dialects or anything like that either.

And since aliens are a thing, i think we should have planets where so many different species and races coexist. Bringing back Naboo, how cool is it that humans and Gungans naturally exist on the same planet? (I think they do anyways, please don’t kill me if actually one of those people migrated to the planet at some point.) There should be more planets with tons of specie diversity!

idk maybe people don’t care as much as i do, and I should give Star Wars creators some slack since galaxy building is a lot more challenging than just world building, but I feel like we don’t get to see the rich depth of a whole galaxy.

#nerd out #nerd-out #the different species and cultures and planets is so fascinating to me #and I love that when space travel was made possible in this galaxy they decided to go and explore and hang out with each other #and now you can just move to another planet #how awesome that they came together like that #It’s a shame people like palpatine ruin everything good #sw #star wars #yea I will take every chance I get to bash palpatine I hate him so much #He’s a good villain in that I want him to burn #naboo #the naboo #gungans

[fandumb-thoughts]

kinda cursed but kinda iconic headcanon that Palpatine (to keep his cover as A Nice Grandfatherly Politician™️) bowed into the gleeful persuasion of the cabinet of teenage girls begging him to let them give him a traditional Nabooian ensemble for something or another, obviously including the heavy makeup and insane headpieces and ornate gowns, at least once

#i'm not even saying it would be feminine #i feel like there is an actual traditionally masculine side to the crazy naboo fashion #but imagine!! #all the handmaidens!! #and padme!! #giggling uncontrollably and spending literal hours on hair and makeup and wardrobe adjustments!! #while palpatine sits there and SEETHS because he has to keep his cover #but he HATES this so much #padme amidala #sheev palpatine #padme's handmaidens #star wars #darth sidious #sw prequels

[menaceborn]

brutus by the buttress is so ayru-core

#i just. i feel like so much of maul's life is marked by having completely conflicting or contradictory feelings towards people or things #like. he's expected to worship sidious and follow his every command but he's also expected and encouraged to hate him #he's supposed to stay in line and be a servant but as per sith tradition he's also supposed to one day betray and murder his master #and no matter how much he hates sidious or how much self awareness he has about what was done to him he can never truly let go of the pride #he has regarding being sith and sidious is the one who opened that door for him. who (in ayru's mind) elevated him #and in some ways a lot of this carries over to anakin/vader too tbh #ayru sees him as his brother (and in many ways they are brothers) and feels an immense amount of guilt that he didn't intervene when sheev #was grooming anakin BUT AT THE SAME TIME he's jealous of anakin both because of the position he rises to within the empire but also because #of the attention he's given by sheev (which is not a thing you Should envy but it's an unfortunate result of the abuse ayru suffered) #i don't think ayru could ever have a healthy (brotherly) relationship with anakin/vader because he couldn't balance the line between #wanting to set him free from palpatine and wanting to murder him to retake his seat next to their father‚ teacher‚ abuser and master. #(not saying he Could murder anakin‚ just speaking to his wants and ambitions etc.) #ayru wants a quiet life. he wants to sit in his corner of the galaxy with his band of brothers but he also wants glory and for the empire #to chant his name #he needs therapy lol

[whippedcloudsofcream]

hazbin hotel crew i need to watch valentino get his skull split open with a hammer soon alright?

#the thing is i dont hate this guy That much #i just find him annoying #this is a fate i reserve for palpatine so he better be grateful for it

[always-andromeda]

Yeah I liked the banter in the beginning but yeah they really fucked the sequel trilogy so hard. And omg right like the mistreatment of my boy. He had so much. And they said haha bitch baby. God like. He couldn’t have any dignity at all.

Oh noooo omg I’d be embarrassed but hey you can always look them up. I still get notifications from them every now and then and I’m like damn the Hux thots are thirsty 😞

By the end of The Last Jedi, I was full on expecting Hux to launch a coup to overthrow Kylo. Like they show Hux’s clear disdain at Kylo being in charge and it made complete sense for him to be a main antagonist in the third movie. But fuckin’ JJ Abrams had to fuck it up. JJ Abrams just had to go in and lazily write out the characters he seemed to not like??

(and oop I may have to go hunting for those lmao watch those jump start my love for Hux all over again sdhdhdhdndnddg I would simply pass away)

#askmeda✨ #delaney🎶 #this is also my justice for rose tico post #the way that she also basically just disappeared #the way that finn basically had nothing to do in this movie #the way that leia’s death was so confusing narratively #the way that they said ‘oh you thought rey was a nobody?’ #*buzzer sound* WRONG. SHE’S A PALPATINE. #AND AN HONORARY SKYWALKER LMAO #i could go on and on for far too long about how much i hate the rise of skywalker

Hooking up and having fun with a cute girl, this definitely will not have consequences :)

[PRINT] - [COMMISSIONS]

For the uncensored art, you can either find it on my inprint or bluesky

Process and usual rambling below vvv

Also quick reminder, in sw 1 maul is 22 and obi wan 25 :)

Ok so this fucking drawing beat my ass fkfjckcn it took me a whole week (I usually manage to do a detailed colored illustration like this in 3 or 4 days), and I hated it for 6 of those days. I was kind of art blocked, and I decided to brute force this by hitting my head again the wall that was this fucking drawing until it worked- and it did ! After 2 failed attempts, and immense frustration at every step of the way <3

I find the older obimaul (around 50yo) dynamic much more compelling, because of the whole baggage desperation loneliness it has going for it, but after failing to draw it (this time, I will come back to it one day)- I decided to settle for the second best obimaul dynamic : young strangers hooking up ! No baggage yet, only fun :)

So they are drinking caned bear in a cheap hotel room (I imagine Coruscant having capsule hotels, being an overpopulated city planet ! Even tho I made it way bigger than a regular one-) to escape responsibilities and just enjoy a good time ! There is no chance to develop an unhinged hatred-obssession-love onesided dynamic here haha :)))

The yuri is not yet toxic, but we'll get there

PS : this is t4t btw :) because @quijicroix is a genius and pointed out the potential of the "of course I know him, he is me" line for a trans obi wan <3 you can also thank them for the tasteful Palpatine censoring

PPS : I've never seen the 3d animated clone wars show, this is only based on the movies.
