how about what would happen if the star wars boys made you cry 👀

ok i kinda did this in the scenario that you're arguing and they make you cry

characters: din, poe, finn, han, luke & obi-wan

din djarin

he is HORRIFIED the minute tears spring from your eyes

maybe you're fighting, maybe he got stressed and said something in the heat of moment, whatever it is, he's immediately forgotten about what he was mad about and he's by your side, floods of apologies coming from his mouth and gloved hands taking yours

he just kinda pulls you into his chest and holds you for a moment and my GOD he wants the world to swallow him up because he loves you more than anything in the world and he normally hates whoever makes you cry but right now it's him

truth is, you know din and you know that he would never do anything to intentionally hurt you so as far as apologies go, it's one you accept pretty quickly

he's gonna apologise for like a week after that

even if it becomes annoying

poe dameron

poe just sort of freezes and has this "oh fuck" look on his face

"oh god, don't cry. please don't cry. did i make you cry? oh my god. i made you cry."

and then he probably starts crying too

because he always wants to cry when you cry but the fact that he's the one responsible for it? woo boy

he swallows it down though and doesn't let you see because he doesn't want to seem like he's taking away from what he's done

his immediate reaction is to want to hug you, but he waits for a moment to see if you'll let him because he doesn't know if you're gonna swing at him tbh

if you let him, he holds you fucking tight. he doesn't apologise then and there, though, not until things have calmed down - normally a few moments later - that he says sorry and you know it's from the bottom of his heart

he goes out his way over the next few days to make it up to you; flowers, dinner, a romantic trip to a distant planet, but above all, he makes an active effort to never let it happen again

and that's what matters most

finn

honestly finn looks like a kicked puppy

because he tries so hard to never argue with you or get mad EXACTLY FOR THIS REASON and he has failed in his attempts and oh lord he wants to die

he doesn't jump immediately to apologising, mostly because he wants you to say what you need to say and he doesn't want to talk over you

and he listens!! he wants to know what he did and what he said so that it never happens again

then he apologises, and it's always straight to the point but still eloquent and meaningful

finn isn't gonna be the kinda guy who apologises for days (oh, din) or goes out his way to shower you in sorry gifts (ah, poe) because mostly he just wants to move on from it and get back to a good place with you but it's like...not in a way that he forgets about it??

it's more of a thing that he hates things being off with you. like it literally kills him inside. so he encourages you to both move forward and get back to the good stuff.

but he also makes it clear that he has learnt from it

han solo

han literally doesn't know what to do. he can barely handle people crying at the best of times but when a) it's you and b) you're crying because of him?

his immediate reaction is to run, because it's han and he always wants to peg it away from every single issue but his chest hurts at the idea and it hurts even more when he knows he's the bastard that made you cry

he just goes silent and is kinda 🧍‍♂️for a second because his brain is computing but then he realises that he does know what to do when you cry and that's attack the thing that upset you

then he realises that he can't do that and goes "well i can't fucking blast myself, so i don't really know what to do right now" and it's stupid and dumb and oh my god han read the fucking room but at least it breaks the ice a little bit and you smile

because, despite everything and despite han being...well, han, you know he's trying his best and the fact he's even still in front of you is actually something of a miracle

that's your cue to rip into him, by the way, because even if you're crying it is canon that the only way to get han solo to listen to you is to tear him a new one (or three) so he will stand there and take the bollocking

after that, he apologises. han isn't good with words so it's a little bit spacey and awkward but the intent is there

but he also makes it abundantly clear that he never means to hurt you and you know, from the bottom of his heart, that he means it

luke skywalker

luke literally stops in his tracks and he's holding you immediately and going "i didn't mean that, i really didn't mean that, please don't hate me"

literally his entire facade his gone - the stubbornness, whatever he's arguing about - just disappears and he realises immediately that none of it is worth making you cry

so the man is literally holding you before your tears even start and he's already apologising over and over

he does want to listen to you though and hear what you have to say, so he's all ears

tbh, it's hard to stay angry at luke for long because you know he's completely pure intentioned and good hearted but you can absolutely opt to give him the silent treatment or take space for as long as you need and he will let you do it

after that, he buys you flowers and will make it up to you in every way he knows how

obi-wan kenobi

out of everyone on the list, obi-wan is the one who is the most shooketh to his core when he realises that he's made you cry

because he's so chivalrous and loving and might as well live to serve you so the idea that he's hurt you is quite possibly his greatest fear come true

his immediate reaction is to give you space. he'll apologise first and let you know that he's ready to talk whenever you are, simply because he doesn't want to overstep or push you to make up until you're ready

but as soon as you are, he's all ears and listening to everything you have to say

again - and i feel like i'm saying this for every character here lol - you know that he'd never hurt you intentionally and although that's the main, the proof is in the pudding when he actively listens to you and makes an effort to avoid it happening again

Absolutely love the idea of Sith Obi-Wan dedicated to making Anakin Fall, only to completely change his goal as soon as he gets a hint that Anakin won't love him anymore if he does. Quinlan watching from the sidelines just makes it better.

Jedi Council: Knight Vos there are now 3 Sith on Coruscant. This is way more Sith than optimal. This is too much Sith. A 150% increase of Sith.

Quinlan Vos: don’t worry guys. I got this handled.

Jedi Council: how are you going to handle this.

Quinlan Vos: im gonna make one of the Sith think that if he makes someone else Fall, that person won’t love him anymore which is all he really has ever wanted so he won’t risk it and will retire from Sithhood.

Jedi Council: ok that sounds—wait the Sith are trying to turn someone else into a Sith? What if you’re wrong and this sith decides he will risk it in search of power and prestige and control, like sith are known to do?

Quinlan, counting on his fingers: well then there’d be 4 Sith on Coruscant!

The Clone Wars 5.02 ‘A War on Two Fronts' Reaction

Rex what on earth are you wearing?! Look what they did to my boy.

Naw, he’s got jaig eyes on the front of his chest plate. I’d love to know the story behind Rex getting his jaig eyes.

Ok, who thought it was a good idea to give Rex a jetpack?

Gymnast Rex! Look at him being all flexible and flipping about like a Jedi. Also, his little grunts/old man noises during this.

Rex, you did not need to backflip off the tank. Sir, you are showing off again.

Ahahahahah omg, it’s an absolute 'blink and you’ll miss it' moment but after Rex leaps off the tank and just before the shot changes, you can see him brush off his shoulder. Sir, you are definitely showing off. You utter dork. I love him so much.

“We must not train terrorists.” Well, that’s going to come back and bite everyone in the arse.

Rex sounding like a drill sergeant there while they’re training the rebels. Also, hello to that jawline.

So this is where we meet Saw Gerrera. Great.

Pitting two young girls against each other over the affections of some teenage boy. How original. I thought something written in 2012 would be better than this but that’s probably looking back with far too rose tinted glasses. Or the awful goggles Rex was wearing.

Rex’s outfit would’ve been so good without those bloody googles. We were robbed.

Just paused it and the hat and earmuffs aren’t great either. And why is he wearing long socks with the pants tucked into them? Is that an aerial or view thingy on his right earmuff? What is the random patch under the long sleeved shirt on his right bicep? Are the blotches supposed to be a camouflage pattern? Ok, I revise my opinion. This entire outfit is trash. Burn it with fire.

Where on earth did Rex get this abomination of an outfit anyway? Does the 501st just have a random closet full of awful civvies clothes? Ahahah, it’s a disguise box isn’t it.

Ok I’m now analysing Rex’s outfit way too much but oh well, here we are. What are the random pouches attached to his belt for? Why have pockets on your pants if they’re not holding anything? Now that I look at it, the chest plate really doesn’t seem to be covering a great deal. Why are you wearing 2 layers Rex? Unless the underneath layer is his blacks, then it makes more sense. And what are the holsters for your DC-17s attached to? They’re sitting on his hips but the belt is around his waist and they don’t look like they’re connected. Are they just magically connected to his person? Do ARCs just come out of training with their holsters glued to their hips? I have so many notes about this outfit.

Tangentially related outfit notes: Why does Ahsoka have to wander about in a) a boob tube and then b) a skin tight outfit with cutouts, yet Rex and all the guys are fully covered in loose clothing. Oh wait, I know why.

Ah, so Steela was the voice of reason. Of course, it’s the young girl that has to keep the arrogant, hot headed male in check. This is painfully dated, and probably explains why Saw went completely off the rails after her death.

Really not impressed with Saw. He’s arrogant, dismissive and hot-headed. That line from Steela about how he fashions himself as their leader even though no one elected him does not bode well either.

So many Jedi cloaks in this episode! I love the return of their ridiculously obvious and completely unsubtle “disguises”.

Lmao at Obi-Wan and Anakin at the end having their serious Jedi conversation while pretending to be subtle in their cloaks. No one is falling for that boys.

“I am hopeful, Anakin. Hopeful.” How mysteriously Jedi of you Obi-Wan.

Oh, this is the planet that The Bad Batch went to in ‘Aftermath’. I thought Onderon felt familiar. It’s decidedly weird sometimes watching The Clone Wars after watching The Bad Batch. There’s a lot of moments that I didn’t understand the significance of and thus completely missed out on. Like the return of Rex in ‘Battle Scars’, Cody in ‘The Solitary Clone’ and Gregor (who I still haven’t met in TCW yet) in ‘War-Mantle’. Things like understanding exactly who Cut and Suu were in ‘Cut and Run’ and the importance of their history in TCW, especially with Rex. Even Trace and Rafa are characters from TCW, though I’ve yet to meet them either. And then there’s moments like this where a planet that is completely new at the time of this TCW episode being broadcast is familiar to me because of the backwards way I’ve watched everything. I’m definitely going to have to rewatch The Bad Batch at some point once I’ve watched all of TCW, Rebels and Tales of the Jedi to fully understand and get all the moments and references.

Lmao of course they have the two characters that were fighting team up at the end and use the same training exercise they failed at earlier to defeat the droids. I know it’s an “animated kids TV show” and sometimes you can really tell. And yet there’s also commentary in here about the folly of an external (essentially) military force training insurgents/rebels from another planet country and the consequences there of. Hmmmmmmm, I wonder what on earth that could be referring to. Hmmmm.

I still cannot believe Rex’s outfit. The ribbing in the group chat is going to be even worse than after the Zygerrian armour.

lskajhdjkal ok i've been messing around with an incorrect quote generator for my Star Wars OCs/AUs and here's some highlights

Problem Children AU

Esme: Don't worry, I've got a few knives up my sleeve. Jadan: I think you mean cards. Ahsoka: She did not. Esme, pulling out knives: I did not.

---

Jadan: Why would you think any of this was a good idea?! Esme: Probably because I’m a dangerous sociopath with a long history of violence. Jadan: Oh... Ahsoka, from across the room: I don’t understand how you keep forgetting that.

---

Ahsoka: Stop setting things on fire because you're curious about what will happen. What will happen is fire. Esme: But what if something else happens just this one time.

---

Jadan: I have a problem. Esme: Kill it. Jadan: Can you chill for like, two seconds?

---

The Time Heals 'Verse

Obi-Wan: Can I get a waffle? Sabine and Anakin: *fighting and yelling at each other* Obi-Wan: Can I p l e a s e get a waffle?

---

Sabine: *sighs* Anakin: You bored? Sabine: Yeah. Anakin: Wanna start drama for no reason? Sabine: I thought you’d never ask.

---

Obi-Wan: I currently have 7 empty notebooks and I have no idea what to put in them. Any suggestions? Sabine: Put spaghetti in it. Obi-Wan: I am currently taking suggestions from everyone but you. Anakin: Put spaghetti in it. Obi-Wan: I am currently taking suggestions from everyone but you two. Ezra: Put spaghetti in it. Obi-Wan: I am no longer taking suggestions.

---

Ahsoka: Name a more iconic duo than my crippling fear of abandonment and my anxiety. I’ll wait. Jacen: You and me! Ahsoka: *tearing up* Ok.

---

Ezra, talking about Anakin: Is this a friend of yours, Sabine? Sabine: Kind of? Not really. He's in my life and there's nothing I can do about it.

---

Anakin: What has the galaxy ever done for you?! Why would you wanna save it?! Sabine: Cause I’m one of the idiots who lives in it!

The Rebels AU With The Time Traveling Padawans

Ezra: *eating a cinnamon roll* Derriphan: Cannibalism. Ezra: *confused chewing noises*

---

Sabine & Derriphan:*Playing video games* Daesha: You guys woke up at 5:30 in the morning just to play games? Sabine: *silence* Derriphan: *silence* Daesha, finally figuring it out: ...You two never went to sleep, did you? Sabine & Derriphan in shame: Yeah...

---

Ezra: Why are you like this?? Derriphan: I used too much "No More Tears" shampoo as a kid and I haven't felt a single emotion since.

---

Ezra: When I see really attractive people like Daesha, I just laugh because I know if we lived in the Aztec culture, they'd be sacrificed for their beauty. Sabine: I mean, that's one way to cope with not being attractive. Derriphan: Works for me.

---

Derriphan: I love the term 'partners'. Are we dating? Are we robbing a bank? Are we the dedicated detectives who investigate these vicious felonies and are members of an elite squad known as the special victims unit? Who knows.

---

Daesha: Hello friends! The Squad: Daesha: You might be wondering why I’m taped to the ceiling

---

Teenage Rebellion AU

Youngest Brother: The greatest trick the devil ever pulled was changing her name to Leia.

---

Sabine: That's ridiculous, Youngest Brother doesn't have a crush on me. Youngest Sister: Yes he does. Katka: Yes he does. Youngest Brother: Yes I do.

---

Sabine: I'm having problems with a guy... Leia: Like his dead body won't fit into your trunk kind of problems, or you like him kind of problems?

---

Luke: So, are you two friends? Katka: Yes. Sabine: No.

---

Luke: You're violent. Youngest Sister: Yeah but I'm also short and that's adorable.

---

Things With Rune In Them (Mostly the Numbers AU)

Rune: We have a problem. Ezra: No, YOU have a problem. I have a daughter who keeps making them.

---

Calina: You made enough pasta that you could take it to lunch tomorrow. Put it in a container. Rune: Shovel the pasta into your face. Do it. Put it in your face. The future is meaningless but the pasta is now.

---

Rune: *wearing full Mandalorian armor* Am I a boy? Am I a girl? It doesn't matter. I'm going to burn your house down.

---

Rune: I have yet to encounter a problem where a sword didn't factor into the solution at least in some way.

13, 14, and 15 for the choose violence ask?

Oh boy.

I am about to get unpopular (to be fair, I don't know if I'm even popular).

13. Worst blorbfication.

Admittedly, I am An Old, and have a tenuous grip on the meaning of some of these fandom words, but I believe this is just generally a term for "let's really hyperfixate on this particular character, possibly to the point of misunderstanding or completely rewriting their character." Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.

Cody. Fight me.

I love clones. I understand why they're a popular group of characters to love and write about and make art for. I adore Rex and Wolfe and Gregor. The Bad Batch boys. Beloved Howzer. But the absolute rabidness for Cody makes zero sense to me.

His main personality trait is…. competent? He is a human shaped wall for Obi-Wan to talk at. And he does talk at him. Obi-Wan has more dialogue with Rex, Waxer, and Boil (and probably some others, but TCW is long and I can only remember so much) than he ever does with Cody. He has more chemistry with Rex!

Clearly this is Codywan related, and, by all means, ship and let ship, but I just really wish people understood that 99% of Cody's so-called personality is absolutely fanon. Not canon. He's boring and flat in canon. Some people write a beautiful character for him, and I appreciate that, but please understand the FANS are making him interesting. He isn't actually interesting. And to be clear, it is the Cody fans that are the brilliant, creative masterminds behind making Cody an interesting character. That's you! Not the creators! Be proud of what YOU created! Be mad your favorite blorbo got the personality of a doorstop in canon!

Runner up is the Armorer, especially in regards to shipping her with Bo-Katan. Y'all, she is not a nice person. Again, ship and let ship, but your favorite lesbian is a cult leader who leads a cult that actively works at alienating the members from each other, she kicked Din out, called him an apostate, and told him he could only be forgiven by doing what was thought, until he steamrolled him way through the challenge, to be an impossible task. She's bad. And it's ok to let bad guys be bad! The baddies are more interesting, anyway! I can go on and on about this but I won't. If you want more, send me an ask.

Honorable mention is woobyfying any baddie. It's cool to dive into why a baddie is bad, but please, for the love of all that is good and holy, understand that it is ok, fun, right, and highly entertaining to love baddies because they are bad. One merely has to read a few of my fics to understand how much I love my garbage boys (Pre Vizsla, Maul, Dryden Vos, Orson Krennic). Let your baddies be bad. You will have more fun, I promise.

14. That one thing you see in fics all the time.

Confession: I read very little fic these days (prefer to write in my downtime), and I typically only read fic written by certain people OR fic that is recommended to me by people who know what I like. I was curious the other day, and clicked on the Obi-Wan/Satine tag on AO3 and was instantly reminded why I have become so discerning about what I read. Despite being on their tag, the first 4 or 5 fics were actually Codywan, Jango/Obi, ArmorBo for some reason, and possibly something else that was definitely not an Obitine fic. And all of those fics were not kind to Satine.

So, this is why I'm pretty picky about fics (keep in mind, I read pretty much only fics about Obi-Wan and/or Kryzes. I have extremely limited interests when it comes to fic, though I'm always up for some good Mara Jade!).

I don't like most m/m Obi-Wan fics. Not because I don't like m/m or I'm a homophobe, or anything like that, but because Obi-Wan is so often written to be a fragile, delicate flower in need of some big strong clone or not-Mandalorian Mandalorian to care for him. And Satine is some mean, bitchy blonde lady who performed cultural genocide. I hate ALL of this. (For the record, while I don't actively seek out Obikin because it just isn't my jam, every one that I have read has been great, because both of them are so well understood by those that write them).

I hate any and all Kryze slander. Full stop. Bo's hate has slowed some with season 3 of Mando (though a lot of people writing her still don't get her because they haven't seen her in anything else, and just don't realize just how far she has really, truly come, or why the absence of Satine's name is felt so deeply by those of who have loved Bo for so long). Satine hate is alive, well, and very strong.

I also do not like most fics that take you out of a galaxy far far away (I have some exceptions). I love Star Wars because of space wizards, spaceships, laser swords, and aliens. It's fine if you want to pull them out of that world and plop them in….I don't know, a university on earth, but I won't be reading it. It takes all the fun right of it for me.

15. That one thing in fanart you see all the time.

Honestly, I'm never going to gripe about art, really. Obviously, the things that bug me above pertain to artwork, too, but artwork doesn't demand the same time and commitment that reading a fic does. If art isn't for me, be it characters, or style, or whatever, I just scroll on by. If it is, I make sure to like it and reblog it and share the love.

If you want to find out what's going to make you disown me, send me an ask from the Choose Violence ask game!

Hey! An obviously cgi generated house in the desert!

Damn cliegg looks like shit

Oh god she was kidnapped?!

Oh so he lost his leg that’s why

A MONTH?!

Oh ok so it’s not generated

Hey playing with shadows!

And a callback to ep 4!

Duel of the fates again?

Oooh pretty place!

Wuh-oh

CHRISTOPHER LEE!!!

Why DID Jango go to geonosis?

Oh god I’m getting Spy Kids vibes again…

Obi wan looking back at the camera like “y’all seein this shit?”

OH GOD

I’m actually starting to cry rn

So terrible even the Jedi on coruscant can feel it?

But something HAS happened to him

I wonder what would’ve happened if Anakin went back to save Shmi at the beginning?

Uh oh.

“tHe ChOsEn oNe.”

Ok props to Christensen for this scene. Genuinely.

Damn Padme THIS is when you start to think about it?

But I get it, he’s obviously in distress so she’s comforting him like a normal person

Ok THIS is the start to his fall. He’s so attatched that he doesn’t know when to let go

AW SHIT ANAKIN’S WEARING BLACK NOW SHIT SHIT SHIT

but he won’t

Padme girl you are NOT helping

Girl Mace LITERALLY said to stay there what are you on

Wait it’s JARJAR that gets the army???

Captured in stasis

Is dooku just humoring kenobi?

Ok but would Qui gon have become a sepratist?

I mean it’s kinda obvious who sidious is

Dooku’s in cahoots with sidious right

Oh shit Jarjar IS the guy

IT WORKED??????HUH????????????????????????????????????

Grand army of the republic? More like (G)ekid(A)n inu cu(R)ry

(I’ve been rewatching Madoka again too)

How come no one’s made a fic of Yoda going to Kamino?

Damn r2’s got no chill

He’s destroyed his lightsaber before?

Girl.

She’s been enduring his horrible lines and pushiness for the entire movie

GIRL HE’S NOT IN THE RIGHT MENTAL STATE TO BE IN A RELATIONSHIP

WOOO PUBLIC EXECUTIONS WOOO

and here’s approximately 70% of the budget!!

Oh shit it’s mace!

Damn Jango had no reason for that twirl tho

WHOA SHIT

That shadow of the heaaad

And boba NOOO

that stare between dooku & windu…is that like a “aw fuck” stare or a “watch ur back” stare

Ok I gotta ask: what’s the point of killing Jango? I get that it gets him outta the picture and gives boba a reason to be the hardass he is in OT, but like putting all that aside, what’s the point IN PREQUELS? Mace coulda just captured him

Are the guild guys gonna die

HEYO!

Ultimate weapon?

Oh shit

Hey an episode 1 callback!

THE ARM

shit is that dathomir?

M’wow

Pffft not Vader’s theme

marriage huh

And that’s it for now! I’ll be back after I’m done with clone wars season 1!

I just finished watching Tales of the Jedi for the 2nd time and I’d like to share my thoughts.

Spoilers for TotJ!!!

The series overall—Animation was ok (I mentioned how Rex/the clone model still looked off here) but overall it was good (especially the environments). THE MUSIC WAS 💯💕 BEAUTIFUL. There were a few things that was kinda like 🤔 but it’s nothing too major and I had some thoughts on what I, personally, would’ve liked to see.

Ep1–Life and Death

—Thought it was good. Baby Ahsoka’s design is similar to the one shown briefly in CW 👍

—The panda dog things were adorable and the food they eat looks SO SIMILAR to Mantell Mix

—The village elder does 3 hand poses (and says something in their native language) when Ahsoka’s mom made a kill, which reminded me of Rebels and the 3 hand poses that opens the portal thing

—Giant cat looked very tiger-y and immediately thought of Jungle Book, though the stories are very different.

Ep2–Justice

—Loved Young Dooku/Quigon duo. Like their designs/interactions, everything, was really good imo

—Dooku wears a cape and not a jedi robe

—Quigon didn’t have his padawan braid but I guess that was time between Padawan/Knight.

—Liked the fact that the senator’s son wasn’t upset about being kidnapped. Loved 2 Ton’s design (the droid)

—clearly sets up Dooku’s fall to the dark side.

Ep3–Choices

—The Mace/Dooku duo was something I’ve wanted since seeing them in Attack of the Clones.

—Mace’s design is also changed slightly (like Anakin/Ahsoka/Obi) to keep up with the better technology. How old is Mace? I honestly don’t know and actually expected him to look a bit younger. Like I know he trained Depa Bilaba (Caleb/Kanan’s master) but, to me, he seemed to be the same age as he was in CW.

—Loved that AotC was more of a noir/detective movie and seemed to continue into this episode (Windu/Dooku solving a jedi murder case).

—I think the guard guy that Mace killed was the son of the guy with the different colored eyes. Which means Mace killed someone’s son and left a father without a child and he also killed Boba’s father Jango, leaving Boba without a father. That’s just my opinion/HC and wasn’t confirmed or anything.

—MACE DID NOT STEAL THE COUNCIL SEAT FROM DOOKU! From context, Dooku has no problem doing things his way and explaining it to the Council. That means this has happened more than the one time we saw in context of this episode. I believe Dooku never really had a chance at a seat on the Council. He believed he did. I think his own ego/shortsightedness blinded Dooku into believing he was guaranteed a spot on the Council

—By now it’s clear that Anakin and Dooku have a lot in common (think RotS when Anakin got upset that he wasn’t a ‘master’ but on the Council)

Ep4–The Sith Lord

—This was my favorite episode!

—MASTER YADDLE!!! FINALLY!!! I believe we first see her in The Phantom Menace when Anakin is brought to the Temple on Coruscant and the jedi are testing him. She appears briefly in the background and has no speaking lines if I remember correctly. I know Yaddle has a different story in Star Wars Legends (the Extended Universe—books/video games etc) but I actually really enjoyed seeing her.

—Her relationship with Dooku seemed really important. Dooku was Yoda’s padawan and my own HC is that Yaddle and Yoda are Grogu’s (Baby Yoda) parents. I believe Yoda/Dooku/Yaddle were kind of like Anakin/Ahsoka/Obiwan respectively. Ahsoka is Anakin’s padawan but also had Obi-wan as a friend/mentor just like Dooku is Yoda’s padawan, but also seemed to be friends with Yaddle.

—Also I believe this was the only episode that is set during one of the movies (Phantom Menace). Dooku talks with Quigon about the Sith Lord (Darth Maul) that he and Obiwan encountered on Tatooine before it changes to Yaddle informing Dooku about Quigon’s funeral (after being killed by Maul on Naboo). She is clearly concerned about Dooku, especially when he says he must let Quigon go as he’s one with the Force. She asks him if he ‘can do this’, to which he responds with ‘what choice have I?’

—Dooku’s always been shown to have great control over his emotions (which is why he doesn’t have sith eyes) but despite that, Yaddle’s concern wins out and she follows him to his meeting with Emperor Palpatine.

—DOOKU LOVED QUIGON JUST LIKE OBI LOVED ANAKIN! His convo with Yaddle earlier (about the tree) clearly showed that. And he was RIGHTLY upset that Palpy had him killed by Maul.

—SHE LEFT THE COUNCIL FOR DOOKU!!! SHE EVEN ADMITTED HE WAS RIGHT!! That is love right there. She clearly had a loving friendship relationship with Dooku for her to leave the Council. And what does Obi-wan tell Satine? ‘Had you said the word, I would’ve left the Jedi Order’. Yaddle probably didn’t think of Dooku in a romantic way (I hope), but she obviously cared about him just as he cared for Quigon.

—YADDLE BEGGED DOOKU TO HELP HER BRING PALPY TO JUSTICE.

—THAT WHOLE FIGHT, JESUS!

—Ok, whoever is in charge of ratings sucks cuz there’s no way that this episode was TV-PG. Yaddle’s death was BRUTAL! Like they didn’t really show the blade connecting, but they showed her lifeless body after, made the saber-on-flesh-sound, and showed Dooku beginning the execution move. JESUS Disney. Shit

Ep5–Practice Makes Perfect

—Seeing young Anakin and mullet-Obiwan in clone armor made me SO HAPPY!!!

—The sass is still there!! AAHHH!!!

—Plo Koon sitting with Yoda, Obiwan and Anakin watching Ahsoka proudly was such a dad-move!!!

—And seeing young Caleb/Kanan and Bilaba at Ahsoka’s training test was amazing! And he was so obviously gushing about Ahsoka to Bilaba when they walked out lol

—MASTER SINUBE!!! GRAMPS!!! Was this before or after that Lightsaber Lost ep?!?!

—Of course Anakin was unimpressed with the test and unintentionally taught her how to survive O66.

—Seeing the clones in phase 1 armor again made me flash back to early CW animation.

—ABSOLUTELY LOVED JESSE’S LITTLE ‘Sorry Commander!’ As it was funny in the moment and tragic when you think about the fact that Jesse lead the turned clones during O66 and was going to kill Ahsoka (and possibly Rex too).

—I think this episode is the only one with a time skip. Loved the transition of the stuns and Ahsoka waking up older and seeing the clones in their phase 2 armor.

—THEY MADE ANAKIN’S TRAINING INTO A GAME!!!

—Then skipped again to O66 with Ahsoka and Rex walking into the hangar full of clones ready to kill them (with Jesse out front).

—Gave me Arcane ep7 Ekko/Jinx vibes TO THE MAX!! (Though if I’m being honest, I preferred Arcane’s version though it’s so close lol).

Ep6–Resolve

—Ok so I think out of all of them, this one’s the worst.

—Don’t get me wrong, it was ok, but out of every ep, I didn’t really care for it.

—My fav part/scene was Padme’s funeral and Bail’s convo with her.

—Ahsoka is living in hiding in a small farming village that has Empire presence I guess.

—Ahsoka has to use the Force to save one of the workers, who realizes Ahsoka is a jedi. Her brother rats Ahsoka out and an Inquisitor comes. From what I’ve heard online, it’s the 6th Brother?? Idk so please correct me if I’m wrong (I believe we’ve seen the 3rd Sister-Reva, 5th Brother, 7th Sister, and the 8th Brother briefly)

—So I’ve never gotten into SW Legends (the Extended Universe), but apparently from what I’ve seen online, this episode is supposed to be an animated version of a book called Ahsoka. It’s basically telling the same story 2 different ways.

—That’s pretty lazy 🤔 to me. Like there are so many other story options (even within just Ahsoka) so it still could’ve worked out 3 v 3 (3 Ahsoka/3 Dooku) eps. I’ve never read the book but I believe it’s about Ahsoka’s time after O66 and how she gets her white lightsabers.

—I heard that the female worker Ahsoka saves is actually black/dark-skinned in the book which is blatant whitewashing (I think I also read that the character was also established as queer). She was replaced by a female with fair skin, straight brown hair and light hazel-y brown eyes. SERIOUSLY?! THE WHITEWASHING HAS TO STOP!!! POC MATTER (in the US, it’s Nov so it’s Native American Heritage month! And Nov 1st was dia de los muertos/day of the dead).

—The Inquisitor’s design looked cool af

—The fight was ok. Reminded me a little of Maul v Obiwan but b/c there was no obvious history it wasn’t very impactful. Liked how he faded away though. And from what I read, he’s voiced by Clancy Brown??? Really!? I love Clancy Brown!! Also it seemed like the Inquisitor knew Ahsoka (he knew her name), though Ahsoka made no connection to him.

I guess those are my main thoughts on the series as a whole and on each episode as well.

What I’d change:

—ep 6 entirely. I’d actually would’ve loved to see how Ahsoka got her second lightsaber instead of the Inquisitor.

—the whitewashed clone model obviously

—So I loved ep4 and Dooku vs Yaddle, BUT! How cool would it have been if Dooku’s saber slowly changed to purple as the fight went on before turning red as he struck down the Jedi Master?? I’m sure that would absolutely go against how lightsabers turn red, having to do with emotions/feelings and that Dooku is great at controlling his own emotions. I just think that would’ve been cool. Though I’m sure that goes against how he actually got them (assuming it’s explained in Legends or something).

—I loved ep1 and baby ‘Soka. But I also love Plo Koon. Would’ve died to see him discover her and talk with her parents/the village elder.

What I’d like to see going forward, assuming there will be a s2 (w/ 6eps):

—MORE CLONE CONTENT!! Gimme a story about Boil going back to Ryloth with Waxer’s armor (post Umbara) and telling Numa what happened to their ‘nera’. Gimme cadet cody/rex bonding! Gimme 99’s creation and demotion to maintenance!! Would also give Disney yet another chance to change the clone model (though if we do get more clone content I highly doubt they would). Gimme Jango/Boba bonding (bonus points for Omega’s creation) I’d like to know SPECIFICALLY what Jango told Boba to make him hate clones. Gimme Wolffe’s demotion from Marshall Commander cuz he lost the whole 104th on the Malevolence. Gimme more clone domestic-life with the boys painting their armor/being w/ their Jedi generals. Just GIMME MORE CLONE BOYS!!! UNWHITEWASHED!!!!

—You can’t tell me that Tales of the Clones wouldn’t be badass lol

—I’d love to see General Grievous’s backstory. From what I’ve seen online, he’s some sort of warrior-hero/savior to his people but the Empire (I think) turned him into what we know as ‘Grievous’. Also that’s not even his name (I forget what it really is, but b/c Grievous sounds like ‘grieve’ I have a bad feeling that it has to do with his people or something).

—Young Yoda and his master. Yoda talks the way he does b/c of his master, which is why Yaddle doesn’t speak the same way (which makes me feel like Baby Yoda/Grogu will sound just like Mando lol).

—Black Krrsantan (Santo-the black wookie form BoBF) or Chewie’s backstory. I know we get a bit of Chewie from Solo: A Star Wars Story and would honestly prefer more Santo content (I think he fights Obiwan in a comic or something) but idk how likely that would be.

—Samuel L. Jackson has stated that he wants to return to Mace Windu/SW and was quoted saying of Mace’s demise- ‘in Star Wars, people survive getting their hands chopped off all the time. So it’s possible,” (or something like that—point is, he thinks Mace could’ve survived his fall/chopped limb). Would love to see Mace post O66 if he in fact, lives.

—Grogu teaching younglings the Jedi and Mandalorian ways, diving into his backstory pre-Mando. I HC that he’s Yaddle and Yoda’s son. It would also give SW a chance to tell a story post—the Skywalker saga timeline (Phantom Menace all the way through to the Rise of Skywalker), since Grogu can out-live the characters in the sequel trilogy.

—I’d like to see High Republic era stuff. I know little to nothing about that era but from fanart I’ve seen, it looks dope af (I know the new animated show Young Jedi Adventures is supposed to be set during that era, but it’s aimed for preschoolers so obviously I’d like something more adult set in that era—but I’m still going to check it out when it releases! Lol)

—I played the SW computer game The Old Republic so I’d also love anything set during that era as well (Master Satele Shan, Master Orgus Din, etc)

So I think that’s most of my thoughts on Tales of the Jedi. I definitely like it more than Bad Batch but not sure if it’s better than CW (to me they are equal). Thanks to all that have made it through this post. I promise I’ll be back with a fic real soon. Thanks everyone!

—Maisy

Kingdom Hearts' Keblade Wielders are just Jedi:

OK, so we can all agree that Keyblade Wielders are just Jedi, right?

That's not me projecting on an AU or anything.

They're just JEDI. Like, the parallel is obvious! Mark Hamill is even there!

Except they're allowed attachment (which, granted, 9 out of 10 times is what causes the problems) and everyone is a Padawan because the ONLY 3 LIVING MASTERS are crackpots!

Xehanort is The Evil One, Eraqus is the Qui-Gon Jinn/Obi-Wan Kenobi parallel that's too BLIND to see how to stop the Anakin (Terra) betrayal from happening and Yen Sid is Yoda BECAUSE HE NEVER DOES ANYTHING UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE except sit there ominously and help out in the final fight of the trilogy.

Still don't believe it? How about the "rule of two's"? How there can only be ONE Sith Lord and ONE Sith Apprentice?

As there are only 2 active evil Keyblade Wielders at a time! If we take BBS to be the Prequels, then Vanitas is 1000% Maul, and then there's Xehanort, who is STILL EVERY OTHER VILLAIN who weilds a Keyblade, with the sole exception of Xion (who forms part of the Sora Heart Hotel) and Luxu (who doesn't count because he doesn't wield his Keyblade during the entire Trilogy)!

The Whole KHUX plot is essentially Order 66, with the Foretellers (a fooled Council/Senate) turning Keyblade Wielders against each other for their Master's plan (unknowingly).

And finally, this new KHML connection with the "Secret Society of Keyblade Wielders" being a parallel of the Jedi as used during the Clone Wars: As a police force that takes your children rather than Peacekeepers.

I KNOW for a fact SOMEBODY has done this AU before, and I can't help but feel like the parallels got pretty obvious the longer Keyblade Wielder Lore expanded...

Like, you could even argue that Mickey plays the part of Obi-Wan... Though considering the rivalry with the Maul stand-in, maybe "Ven" Kenobi would be more accurate...

I'm just saying, if what you want is to predict anything, the Parallels are THERE.

Edit: IT JUST HIT ME. ROXAS IS STARKILLER.

Canonically the hardest hitter? Worked for and betrayed the bad guys? Dual Wielder? In love with his also-previously-evil mission-partner? Everyone's favorite character?

"THE FORCE UNLEASHED" IS LITERALLY A XION LIVES AU.

Edit 2: Actually, Ven is Luke. It's actually pretty spot-on...

Edit 3: Aqua isn't just Ahsoka. She's a bit of Padme as well, now that I think about it...

Okay disregard my first ask because I saw someone already sent Anakin for the ask thing lol. Obi-Wan??

1. sexuality headcanon — i like somewhere within the ace spectrum for obi-wan, anywhere between demisexual to grey-ace. i don't think he feels sexual/romantic attraction very often tbh and he is just happy that way

2. otp — does it need to be said ...... obikin <3

3. brotp — quinlan!!! and kit!!! i love to think about the three of them getting up to dumbass shenanigans together in their youth<3 such kings

4. notp — obi-wan/sat*ne🤢

5. first headcanon that pops into my head — this guy is clinical ocd personified 🤩 also no one can convince me his wardrobe doesn't consist almost exclusively of nice turtlenecks in any modern AU

6. favorite line from this character — "i loved you [anakin]"🥴 or also “because all he’ll see is me” ok gayass ...

7. one way in which I relate to this character — dat OCD lmao .... also he thinks he does things more correctly/soundly than everyone else. if everyone else would just get their shit together am i right ...

8. thing that gives me second hand embarrassment about this character — literally nothing. he is perfect. in modern AUs i think he's extra dorky but like still in a cute way

9. cinnamon roll or problematic fave? he is so fucking cinnamon soppy wet cat loml etc ❤️❤️❤️❤️

#synthwwavve #thank u ...... i love them both SO much it's insane

what are your thoughts on anakin getting called babygirl by obi wan? also.. do u have any thoughts on obikin and cbt?

ok for starters: i am so sorry but the term "babygirl" is like 100% a turn off for me. 😭😭😭 i just cant do it. idk why. maybe cus it reminds me too much of douchey guys i went to high school with?? im cool with other feminine pet names, but babygirl is just SO corny to me i caaannttt. but hey that’s just my personal preference. y’all go wild.

now... on the other hand...

YES I HAVE THOUGHTS ON OBIKIN CBT.

in the madison-verse, the reasons for anakins kinks are usually emotion-based, whereas the kinkier obi-wan gets, the more it's just about his dick lol. (not to say his emotions aren't involved, it's anakin.) but sex and love aren't intrinsically linked for him like they are for anakin. sometimes he does things just to see what will happen. idk why im meta-ing this much but oh well.

anyway, the spank ankain's balls agenda: it's about the trust. being taken in hand by obi-wan in that way, one step more vunerable than just a regular spanking, squeezes at his heart and makes his dick drool. he needs it, needs obi-wan's discipline, his guidance, his hand swatting at him, keeping with his legs spread so anakin can't try and protect himself from the blows that make his stomach curl.

obi-wan takes taking care of anakin very seriously, so he's very focused n firm, until its over and he jerks off all over anakin's sore balls. next week, he'll ask anakin to press one of those pretty, black, leather boots against his dick just to see how much pain he can tolerate. he's a curious guy.

#obikin #could i write a fic about this? most likely #add it to the list #anon asks #writing things #i have so many good things in my inbox rn ily guys i promise im getting to them!!!#suggestion box

Anakin is sulking after a mission gone wrong. Obi wan is fretting because his apprentice sulking is such a turmoil in the force that Yoda is getting headaches.

Anakin, close to snapping: i feel like i can't do anything right

Cody *soulful eyes*

Cody: don't ever think You can't do something You can't to do.

Cody: it's thrash can, not trash cannot.

Anakin: *snaps out of his Funk so hard the dark side screeches and goes hide behind palps*

#commander cody #cody is a good dad #he loves anakin more than he hates him #most days #anakin fears and respects him #obi wan x cody #codywan #star wars #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #ashoka tano #clone wars #captain rex #i love this guy more than obi wan does ok

Chapter 7. We get an inquisitor POV!!! Fuck yeah.

Fifth is so lame. I love him.

Probably a good time to remember what I know about the guy. This is pre-Rebels and the Obi-Wan show, so... the 2017 Vader comics? I know Fifth was already an established inquisitor pretty early post-ROTS. Vader cut of his hand in their training exercise and some time later he was part of the team stealing Koth's newborn kid. That's it right?

And he's stupid also. My darling boy.

Masochistic inquisitor, what else is new.

Not to get into a whole pro-Jedi anti-Jedi debate but literally what are the Jedi supposed to do to "step in", my guy.

Oh and now he's kissing the ground. How much kinkier is this phonecall gonna get?

I actually kinda enjoy Jedi-bashing from darksiders but I like to know what the author's actual thoughts on the issue are. Let's not get into another Traviss situation, yeah?

Also who thought it was a good idea to send him alone. There's a reason they pretty much always show up in teams of at least two, and it's not just that their superiors love their petty rivalries as much as I do. Well, at least we know he's making it out of this book.

😏

This is I think the second time Greez got called the best pilot in the galaxy. Pretty sure that's just what everyone in sw says to pilots on the regular because I don't even remember him doing anything special. Sorry Greezy.

Merrin, my love, the whole "this is not a movie" cliché does not apply here. An intelligence operative's defection being in doubt is pretty reasonable.

Not posting the page or so long seduction scene between Fret and Merrin in Cal's room for some reason but I will complain about the term "Dathomirian". Why can't we just use "Dathomiri"... :(

Ok but girls, you literally have your own cabin. Are you actually gonna fuck on the psychometric kid's bed?? That's all kinds of inconsiderate.

Back to Cal! Greez, Fret is sus af but literally not a stormtrooper.

We get another confirmation that Cal def has a crush on Merrin. That's gonna be awkward when you go to sleep. Maybe he can get a place to lie down that isn't in the loud as fuck engine room??

Cal I'm loving the confidence but you are hardly the most wanted fugitive out there. For fuck's sake we're still in Anakin's Obi-Wan obsession era, and even without him and other surviving Jedi I'm sure there are bigger fish than a teenage dropout who broke into a prison and barely got out with his life 5 years ago. (Yeah I know he could be in his early twenties in the book. The lack of confirmed ages vexes me greatly.)

But also. Merrin apparently got plenty of bitches and she's been on the run with you the whole time. And she's much more recognizable than a random white boy. Just die your hair dude.

(Greez is totally right btw. For such a handsome guy Cal got no game.)

Um. What?

That's not how it works, Greez.

Cal living in solitude for most of his childhood sure is news to me. Where did that line come from.

Nooo not the attachment discourse.

the moment of them all

Sam immediately takes a seat on Sadie’s bed. She laughs at him, just a little. It’s almost like this room is more his than hers. Sometimes, it’s like that when they pick up each other’s things. Sadie looks better in Sam’s bomber jacket than he does. When she puts it on, he always says the same thing – exactly the thing Sadie’s about to say to him now.

“Amazing,” she says. “You look more like me than I do.”

Sam smirks and rests the back of his head against the wall.

“Funny how that happens,” he says. “Don’t you think?”

Sadie sighs and sits at the foot of the bed, parallel to Sam, the place where she belongs. She really looks at him for a long time. Maybe ten whole seconds. Sometimes, she almost forgets he’s just her twin. Sometimes, he feels like so much more. Like he’s her eyes when she closes her own.

“You know, this is all your fault,” she says.

Sam scoffs in mock surprise. He presses his hand to his heart like a parody of a Southern belle. Sadie can’t help but laugh, just a little.

“Me?” he asks. “What did I do?”

“I keep thinking about this one time, about two years ago, I think,” Sadie says. “Mom and Lucy ambushed you with that college visit in Ohio. Do you remember?”

Sam snorts.

“Oh, yeah,” he says. “That’s the kind of thing you don’t just forget.”

“Right. Well, anyway. I keep thinking about what you said to me that day. You asked if I ever thought about how you and I are different.”

“Yeah. I remember that, too. You said you thought about it all the time.”

“Yeah, well, I was telling the truth. I do think about how we’re different. Except I don’t know if I know who I am. I know … I know you’re a genius, and I know you’re funny. I know you were always more willing to put yourself out there, to get rejected, to be wrong … just so you could say you tried. I know you like The Replacements, and when the college rock stations are on, I usually prefer The Pogues … but that’s about it for comparisons between us. I feel like … I feel like I know exactly who you are. But I don’t know what makes me different.”

She looks up at Sam, not really sure how she expects him to react. And in truth, she really didn’t expect anything in particular. She just didn’t think he would sit there and shake his head.

“Bullshit,” he says.

Sadie makes a face like she just bit into a lemon.

“Bullshit?” she asks.

“Yeah. You know. The shit that comes from bulls. Crap. A total lie, if you need me to be literal about it. But I know you’re better than that.”

Sadie rolls her eyes.

“I’m not so sure I’m good at anything,” she says. “Much less better.”

“Oh, cut it out,” Sam says. “I don’t know if you’re acting this way because you think you have to or you think it makes you humble, but cut it out. I don’t want to listen to it. Do you know why you spend so much time thinking about who I am? About who everybody else is?”

“Because I’m afraid of who I am?”

“No. Because it’s exactly who you are, and you know it. You’re the kind of person who notices things about other people. You help people. You see people struggling, and you lift them out of whatever it is. You’re like Obi-Wan Kenobi.”

Sadie laughs to keep from crying.

“Yeah, and look how things turned out for him,” she says. “Murdered by one of the guys he was trying to help. Died so that somebody else could be the hero.”

“Are you kidding me?” Sam says. “Obi-Wan was a hero, too. He gave up his life for the Rebellion. He left home – the place where he was hiding! – to make the galaxy a better place for other people. People he didn’t even know. Even after he was dead, he kept coming back to make the world better. Tell me you wouldn’t do the same thing. Tell me you wouldn’t love it if somebody said you were their only hope.”

With that, Sadie is warm all over. Filled with light. Sam has a way of doing that. When she feels dark, he can come in with the brightness. Come to think of it, he probably learned it from her. That’s what she’s always wanted to do.

“OK, maybe I’d love it,” she says. “But I still don’t … how is it fair if my life is only about making other people better? Am I even a person? Or am I just somebody’s mirror?”

“Well, we know you’re my mirror,” Sam says. “Just like I’m yours. But if you think you’re not a person just because you look out for other people, that’s dumb.”

Sadie snorts.

“Be a little less mean about it, Sam,” she says. “I don’t think you’re being mean enough.”

“I’m serious. No other way of putting it. It’s dumb. You wanna know what I think about when I think about how we’re different? I think that you’re the brave one. I think you’re the one who works hard, who can get anything she wants because she doesn’t know how to give up, even when she probably should. You’re the one who’s unafraid. You might have been nervous about stuff in high school, but that’s over. You take more risks in a day than I have in my whole life. And I don’t just mean how you like to ride rollercoasters.”

Sadie laughs again. When she looks in Sam’s eyes, she knows exactly what he means. She glances at the textbooks around her, all for various classes in school, all of which she earned high scores in throughout the semester. She has the whole world in front of her because she put it there. Somehow, for the tiniest second, she knows that. She grabbed the world and put it on her plate just because she wanted to.

Does Sam know? she wonders. Does she know I’ll share it with him?

“I’m thinking,” she says.

“Thinking?” Sam asks. “About what?”

“About how stupid it would be if we weren’t twins. You probably wouldn’t talk to me like that.”

Sam laughs and shakes his head.

“Eh, maybe not,” he says. “It’s different when you’re a brother and a sister. It’s like … it’s like you don’t have to hide anything that way.”

“Do you think you have to hide from Charlie?”

“Yes, and if you have to ask why, maybe you’re not paying as much attention to me as you thought you were.”

Sadie thinks about that. It will be about a year before she fully understands what Sam is trying to say. He stands up and puts a hand on her shoulder like he’s older and wiser than he really is. Then again, Sam’s always been older and wiser than he really is. So has Sadie. It’s probably the first thing they ever had in common.

And for a second, she thinks something clicks.

Wise, she thinks. Can you build a career on being wise?

She doesn’t ask the question out loud. It feels taboo or something. Half-formed. She sighs and looks up at Sam like he has the answers … like she wants to believe he does.

“You’re the best person in the whole world to talk to,” Sam says. “I think … I think if you can be in a place where people get to talk to you … and listen to you … then you’ll be in the right place. Wherever it is.”

Sadie smiles. She walks over to the radio and turns it on, just to get some life in the room, just to air out the heavy drama. The station’s wrapping up that song from the prom scene in Pretty in Pink. When OMD fades out, the DJ’s voice closes in.

Ladies and gentlemen, we hope you liked Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark. Up next is an old tradition of ours here. Folks, you know it’s The Bee Gees.

Sadie sighs as the song plays out. She’s heard a million of these traditions before, but it’s not until tonight, when she’s trying to figure out where to go for the rest of her life, that it starts to sound like anything. Before, it was always a song. A little gag, a little joke. Now … now it feels like a fortune. She doesn’t know what else to say. So she closes her eyes and listens to the airwaves like she has so many times before.

And I recall the moment of them all / the day I kissed your cheek and you were gone …

It dawns on her, standing there in her childhood bedroom (now her adult bedroom, which she’s not sure what to do with), that all the things she thought were her weaknesses could really be her strengths. Not just when it comes to school and making money, but when it comes to building a life. She thinks she understands that they’re all different things … that they should always be different things.

Tomorrow will be another day. And on that day, Sadie will know more than she does right now.

But right now, she thinks, is good. It’s really good. To be home, to be with the people who love you, to love the person you are.

It’s really good.

Stranger Things 4

Don’t know what genius decided to have both Stranger Things and Obi-Wan premiere on the same day. But I’m gonna watch 2 episodes tonight.

I’ll try to do what I did for season 3 which is not write every 5 seconds (though I literally just did this for Obi-Wan) and instead write quick notes and fill in actual thoughts at the end of each episode.

But first I want to say I’m glad they put the warning about finding the opening scene distressing after the events in Texas. But I’m now extra scared of what it will be.

Also I don’t think I ever said this, but let Will be ace.

Shoot watching this recap, I forgot how painful season 3 was. No no no I can’t take the stupid letter. That stupid letter had me sobbing so hard I was literally hitting my couch to try to get the pain out because crying wasn’t enough.

Chapter 1: The Hellfire Club.

Reminds me of the Eighth Doctor. Ok. Knowing the images of this scene are going to be upsetting, plus the ticking of the clock is making the anticipation become an anxiety attack. Papa seeming... loving... to the kids... is strange. I don’t like it. Yep ok. I see why there was a warning. I am glad they gave us a warning. I literally forgot Mike’s deadbeat dad existed. That zoom in on cheerleader had to have been important. She’s probably a main character. ANNE WITH AN E???? Was that Anne with an E? I didn’t watch that show but it looks like her. Good for her, get that Netflix money. Yessssss Lucas’ prime 80s flat top. Been waiting for that hairstyle to come in. Ok I have to agree with Lucas, basketball’s more important than D&D. Sorry. Only because basketball affects the whole school and D&D is just you guys. This scene of El is giving me speaking in class flashbacks and anxiety. A girl has a crush on Will. He’s not into it. Let Will be ace. When Chriss walked out of the counselor’s office, I called it that she’d be bulimic. WHAT THE HELL ARE THOSE FEET. Okay. I love Eddie. Oh my god. Eddie is so late 80s I adore it. It’s like he hopped out of 1986. Awww I want Steve in their D&D club though. Wait. THEY’RE GONNA GET MY GIRL ERICA AREN’T THEY Yes they are!!! I am so happy. Will giving Erica all his D&D stuff literally made me cry last season, both sad tears for Will but happy tears for Erica. I’m so glad they’re actually doing something with that. That was a very cute drug deal scene. And now I know which character was playing guitar in the upside down in the trailer. I cannot handle this bullying scene for El. Especially with the trying to use powers. Ugh. I can’t. It hurts. MY. GIRL. Look how amazing Erica is. Why am I anxious about a basketball game? This whole show is making me super anxious. “Never tell me the odds.” Cuties. Sinclair siblings come through! Eddie’s reaction was actually adorable after the crit hit.

...

What the hell. This show manages to get scarier each season.

That was horrific. Everything about that was horrific. Poor Chrissy. Poor Eddie how does he even move on after that!?!??!

Chapter 2: Vecna’s Curse

Ok so Hopper jumped from the platform during the blast. Cool. That tells me NOTHING about how he survived the blast that disintegrated a bunch of people. Great, he jumped from a platform, how did he avoid disintegrating though!??!?! Look I’m more than okay with Will crushing on Mike. That’s fine. I have a feeling that’s where the story will go. But also, let Will be ace. And Mike. You’re an idiot. Say hi to your best friend. Argyle’s actor looks familiar, but I don’t recognize anything on his IMDB. God this show causes me so much anxiety. This really might not be good for me. Why the vomit why you gotta show us????? Shoutout to the kid saying not to joke about Chrissy standing up Jason. #JusticeForBarb. Remember when that was the scariest part of the show? Wow. We’ve come so far. I miss the MindFlayer at this point honestly. I’d say I miss the Demogorgon too but I assume we’ll see one of those again. The same kid also checked on Lucas to see if he’s ok. This is a good boy. Honestly, this situation just sucks for everyone. Chrissy’s dead, Eddie’s probably traumatized plus being accused of a murder he can’t begin to explain, and Jason just lost his girlfriend and is in denial over the fact that she had some issues she didn’t tell him about. It sucks overall. But I don’t want Jason and the other guys to hurt Eddie. CREEPY DUDE MY LOVE?!!?! Oh my god. Jaqen H’ghar. I always called him Creepy Dude since I didn’t learn his name till well into Game of Thrones. But I loved Creepy Dude so much. Good for him getting this gig. (I didn’t write anything for like 15min) Victor Creel? Not gonna google it in case this is real and also spoilers. Ahhh the ticking. I would really prefer if whatever is about to happen to Fred happens offscreen thank you. MIKE. APPRECIATE YOUR FRIEND. Will did nothing wrong here. Yes he could have written more and started the correspondences, but also Mike had already dropped him for El back in Season 3. Mike, this is a long time in the making, it’s not just because they moved. God I wanna fight these kids for making my El cry. Ok the roller skate... was a bit much... El my girl... that was not ok. I specifically asked NOT to see Fred’s death onscreen.

These boys have gotta stop playing D&D with super niche monsters, they keep predicting the exact demon that will terrorize them. Imagine if at the end of the show we find out that their D&D games really do summon these monsters out of the Upsidedown.

That’s my new theory. That there is some substance to all this “D&D is the Devil!” stuff in the Hawkins media. Some aspect of D&D does make the wall between the Upsidedown and our world thinner or something. Things always go wrong right when they play D&D.

hi i just finished watching booba fettaccini from sore wores and i have no one to yell at this about so hey lmao check this shit out uh spoilers ahead

okay so overall, i thought it was just... kinda boring lmao.

cause like ok we have our A story (boba becoming the daimyo of jabba’s old territory) and our B story (boba being taken in by a tribe of tuskens). and honestly? B story way better imo because im a sucker for a good found family story. i eat that shit up, and it was just more engaging esp as someone who grew up on the movies, and last seeing boba as a little kid, and falling into the snarlac pit before that.

like idgaf what he’s doing now really lmao the whole “i will show the people of mos espa that im their friend smilers” was just kinda, meh. like i wanna see the legendary boba fett doing cool bounty hunter shit but i get it ya know, he explains why he’s doing what he’s doing, and that’s all well and good. and i wouldnt have minded if it just wasnt so goddamn slow.

like nothing HAPPENS during the A story. all the interesting shit is in the B story. it’s not until ep4 that it’s like alright! time for a real story now!!!!

buuuut first, we gotta dedicate not one, but two whole episode to din djarin and grogu. like dont get me wrong, i fucking love the mandolorian, like so sos soso much. but that’s their show. this isn’t their show. it’s boba fett’s. why the fuck do they have so much prominence?? why wasnt this saved for mando s3?? why did boba fett suddenly stop being the main character OF HIS OWN SERIES?

cause din and grogu just stole the show, considering it very suddenly became about them. and then it’s like “well fuck what boba’s doing, i want more of this!!” and yeah i know we are getting more of it but im just... jon, dave, wyd guys.

and then we LOSE cobb vanth for cad bane. and then cad bane dies. it’s like okay!! that’s cool and all!! but WHAT was the point? i know that cad bane is boba’s old mentor but like, idk, i feel like they could have set it up way better than this? i feel like there should have been more impact to his appearance and his final stand off with boba? like these two have such a history but you don’t feel anything really between them watching it. so ultimately, i feel like it was a waste of a character and just another nod to the clone wars series.

ashoka had more impact in this series, and she only appeared for like 10 minutes!!! i know she’s also getting her own show, so it’s a good way to keep interest in the character but like... idk i wasnt happy with bane, and im very sad vanth is “dead”

(i mean i dont think he’s really dead they dont outright say he died just that he was shot down, and this is star wars, does anyone ever really actually die unless you see an explicit close up on their bodies? which vanth didnt get soooooo lmao)

just... yeah man idk. i get why they couldnt do a clone wars or empire era boba fett story because well, no offense, but temuera morrison is Old now and their de-aging tech is not... perfect quite yet, not on the same level that marvel is. and lbr the de-aged luke is kinda bad still and his voice is very obviously a computer we’re not gonna talk about luke here ok but I GET WHY.

and i realize i could be in a small minority of people who didnt totally enjoy the show. i didnt hate it, and there were plenty of parts and characters that i liked. it just felt idk, like it was being held back and kinda awkwardly squeezed in between mando seasons. i feel bad for it honestly, cause i feel like it did have so much potential but dave and jon just kinda... dropped the ball on it. idk. hopefully obi-wan and ashoka won’t have that same problem, but we’ll seeeeee.

anyway thats all i got no i wont take criticisms or debates about it okay bye <3
