My favorite War Table missions are the ones where Josephine and Leliana are playing 6D chess on some side quest and Cullen’s input is just: “what the fuck? no. i’m not getting involved in this. can we go back to work.”

[englishknightsky]

i think it would be really really funny if cullen thought dorian had feelings for fem inky and was jealous but resigned to never telling her how he feels cause he's pathetic and dorian is obviously better for her in every way. and he says this to one of the inner circle members and they almost piss themselves laughing

cats love sleeping on or next to you and slowly bake you like an oven roast chicken

i recently found out what the * * * that sometimes separates parts of a text is called and youre never gonna fucking believe it

[what-even-is-thiss]

You’d think that once you finally get long term access to a cat and your yearning to have cat access is fulfilled that you’d become slightly less obsessed with seeing people’s cats but no if anything it gets worse

It's important to remember whenever citing the Picard Double Face Palm that on the other side is Data trying to calculate the parameters of just how much he's accidentally broken his favourite Captain's brain. Again.

Happy Korrasami Day!

Looking back on 2020, I think it's hilarious that Wellerman of all shanties is the one that blew up online. It's not a song about life on the high seas or adventuring

It's the "Where the fuck is my delivery" song

Love the idea that in a better life when the Clone Wars end, commander Cody gets both a promotion and married shortly after. So next time someone asks for ‘General Kenobi’ Cody proudly walks in like “that would be me!”

Your dialogue is stiff because everyone is being too honest

Great dialogue can come from radical emotional honesty. But in most real conversations, people

dodge questions

answer indirectly

lie (badly)

change the subject

crack jokes to avoid serious answers

lie (convincingly)

say half of what they mean

tell the truth but get so anxious/angry/defensive others now think they're lying

If your dialogue feels unnatural, it might be because everyone is saying exactly what they think, or articulating their thoughts too well. Try letting characters hide things instead.

Subtext is where tension lives.

[dopedyk]

more so,

people don’t always speak in full sentences,

slang can change depending on age range, demographic, etc. &

don’t be scared of vocal pauses (uhm, uh, err)

[brachiosaurus-on]

I like to imagine that at least once during the clone wars someone sent a report to General Kenobi and a very tired Master Kenobi just graded it and sent it back.

[redminibike1]

#my type of amusement varies based on whose report was graded#Ahsoka revises the mistakes and politely resubmits assuming Obi-Wan is teaching her how to write better reports#Anakin throws a tantrum because he’s a knight now and nothing is ever good enough for Obi-Wan anyway#Cody immediately picks up on what must have happened and sends the report back with some revisions accepted and some rejected#Mace calls him and tells him to take a nap#Yoda goes over the entire report with a green pen (Obi-Wan used red) and corrects the sentence structure to match his speech patterns#Waxer and Boil spend several hours overthinking whether or not the General is upset with them#Depa calls just to laugh at him like an older sister#Luminara wonders if this is a joke from Obi-Wan or a critique from Councilor Kenobi before she figures it out#Admiral Yularen just blinks at it because he knew working with Jedi was an experience but wow#Palpatine is enraged and seething at this power play he does not understand#it consumes his thoughts even after Obi-Wan sends an apology which obviously must be part of the power play

HEY HEY HEY you CANNOT leave these in the tags!! You CAN’T

#there has to also be a time when he corrects his own report

@flimsiplastfolio congratulations on having the funniest addition to this post

#quinlan vos just sends it back with more errors

JEFF WE TALKED ABOUT THIS.

Even when people aren't making out Anakin's turn to be the result of some kind of straight of mind control by Palpatine, I find that there's still a lot exaggeration of how how Palpatine manipulated Anakin

See, fundamentally Palpatine doesn't actually do anything to force Anakin, or even really push Anakin a certain way, he doesn't back Anakin into a corner, coerce him, threaten him, or even try to control him (overtly or covertly), most of what Palpatine does to manipulate Anakin is just saying something opposite/contrary to what Obi-Wan/Padme/Jedi teachings/common sense says, but because what Palpatine says is more convenient (that's the way of the dark side baby, easy path), more appealing to Anakin's personal desires, or just strokes Anakin's ego, he chooses the Palpatine option

That's it, that's the fundamental truth of why and how Palpatine turned Anakin to the dark side, no mind control, no threats, not even tricks

All Palpatine does is say something, and Anakin chooses that
