cas is planning a murder in this scene
#cas started a sentence and realized he had to finish it in a way that wouldn’t imply him in john’s eternal damnation
I just realised where Kylo got his name from:
Ky = sKYwalker
Lo = soLO
Ren = literally just his birth name with an R
which means that when he was choosing his super scary Dark Lord name, he just mashed up the surnames of the most positive figures in his life. poor sod can’t even evil right
literally a ‘what is your star wars name’ meme
2nd two letters of your mother’s last name Last two letters of your father’s last name
1st three letters of your name but with an R
Okay, but here’s the great thing about Simpson as a character: he totally parallels Kilgrave in terms of his methods, but is pretty much the opposite with his intentions and I love it.
No, but really though. Simpson repeatedly demonstrates that he has an amazing ability to get people to do what he wants by giving them the illusion of control and Kilgrave does the same thing. The only real difference between them is that Kilgrave acts out of his own self interest whereas Simpson is group-minded. But, in many respects they use the same “bigger picture/ social transaction” mentality to justify their actions. To Kilgrave, raping women and holding them hostage is acceptable because he keeps them in the lap of luxury and, hey, they don’t have it anywhere near as bad as he did as a child. To Simpson, murdering people is alright as long as it’s in service of the greater good because lives are just weights on a scale.
That narrative structure though. *fans self*

Ahh, I’d be willing to proof the fighty bits if you so desire. I like to think that I know what I’m doing when it comes to fencing. (In theory anyways. Unfortunately I kind of suck at non-dual combat styles.)
Sorry for how hilariously belated this is!!!! Gosh, I would love to have your feedback on fighty bits. They’re…they’re really bad. I started off with the intention of trying to make it make sense/be reasonably accurate, and then I just gave up at some point and went “what the hell!” Writing motivation is tricky for me right now so I tried to, ah, let it go, so to speak.
That said I would love love love to have feedback! I am just trying to suitably lower your expectations with the above string of excuses XD
With that out of the way…sure you’re still interested? ;)
Oh yes, absolutely! People bantering and arguing while sparring is my jam. And so what if it’s a bit of a fixer-upper? (Ba-dum-tss. I’m a funny person.)
I love this pun. It is 100% good and makes me feel 100% better about the fact that my fic is absolutely a fixer-upper XDD
On that note, I think I’ve finally finished the damned thing (woefully late for H/A week, but who couldn’t see that coming!), so if you’re still up for having a poke at it, would it be alright if I shipped it your way? What’d be the best way for me to do so? <3
Ah, I'm totally easy to please. I could pm you my email address and then you could share/send me the doc in whatever format you want.?
Westerosi Proverbs ↳ Dark Wings, Dark Words | Ravens and Letters
Bran felt a sudden dread. Dark wings, dark words, Old Nan always said, and of late the messenger ravens had been proving the truth of the proverb. When Robb wrote to the Lord Commander of the Night’s Watch, the bird that came back brought word that Uncle Benjen was still missing. Then a message had arrived from the Eyrie, from Mother, but that had not been good news either. She did not say when she meant to return, only that she had taken the Imp as prisoner… No one ever told him what was happening, yet he knew it was not good. (Bran V, A Game of Thrones)

Do you want to get Tumblr`s new messaging system?
To get it, someone with active messaging must write you.. As I already have it, I will message everyone who reblogs this.
Once you get the messaging, you help me and send a message to the person who also reblogs this message from you.
Let`s start the chain reaction…
GOD YES DO THIS!
listen, i’m never going to let you use my laptop idk what exactly i have to hide but i’m 200% sure there’s something

The fourth largest religion.
going off my tags on this post; the prequels emphasizing anakin’s love for padme as the tipping point for his fall to the dark side doesn’t, i think, make his intrinsic humanity his ultimate flaw or his passion/love, which a lot of people have critiqued the prequels for doing— and, true, the acting/script in the prequels isn’t strong enough to emphasize anything beyond this, essentially. but i think what the anakin/padme romance actually does, and what if i want to give lucasfilm credit for the films are actually trying to do, is give further and essential strength to anakin’s final choice to murder palpatine and save luke. because anakin’s love for padme isn’t what turns him into a sith— palpatine is. when anakin believes padme is going to die, he doesn’t tell padme (who not only is, you know, the subject of discussion here, but has throughout the story been an avatar of calm rationality), he doesn’t tell obi-wan (who he loves probably in equality to padme and is his connection to the jedi and the force and those who actually want to help him), he tells palpatine. and what’s essential about that choice is that anakin’s arc is all about deference.
anakin as a child is a slave. he’s immediately dragged to the jedi (told he’s too old to be a jedi! rejected by the people who saved him! only allowed to be trained because qui gon was killed by a sith and demanded obi wan— first sithkiller in a thousand years— train him as his dying wish) and told that a) he is possibly the most powerful being in the universe b) as the most powerful being in the universe, he should shut up and listen to some people he’s never met about how to use that power and how someone that powerful should live their life. the jedi council is very consciously i think depicted as what we would think of as an organized religion, only one where the deity empirically exists (think the catholic church if saints and prophets had laser swords). the council have some good ideas about how to use the power of the force, how jedi should live their lives, how they should act and interact, but to take essentially the messiah— a messiah who has been a slave for nine years, ripped away from and told he must never see again the person he loves most in the world, and who is already a roiling mass of anger and pain— and tell him that he should live a completely ascetic life is just asking for it. and indeed, the first thing anakin does when he’s given a solo mission is act like a ridiculously powerful nineteen year old boy and go after his boyhood crush. (and then slaughter the people who hurt his mom.) palpatine’s not an idiot. palpatine’s probably the smartest man in the galaxy. palpatine sees that this ridiculously powerful child is being told he can’t have feelings by the people he most looks up to and cares about in his life.
and so palpatine sweeps in and tells him not only that feelings are great and important but most essentially that palpatine is always there for him if he needs to have feelings. palpatine plants himself as the one person in anakin’s life he can actually be a human being around. not the jedi, who saved him, because they’ll tell him he’s not a good person. not obi-wan, who he most looked up to, because obi-wan will chastise him. (whether or not obi-wan would actually have given him a tonguelashing over caring about people is debatable (see: obi-wan, crying over qui-gon’s corpse; obi-wan, biggest flirt in the galaxy; obi-wan, ‘you were my brother, anakin, i loved you’) but anakin never dares ask because obi-wan is, in his eyes, ultimately first and foremost a jedi and a mouthpiece for the council), not padme, who he loves enough to tank the republic, because she’s too reasonable and wouldn’t know the way anakin does the way people can betray and humiliate you. palpatine is the only one around whom anakin can be himself. and by placing himself in that position palpatine makes himself anakin’s ultimate master, before anakin even knows he’s anything but a politician. so of course he runs to palpatine with the fear of padme’s death. of course he doesn’t make the “right” choice. he can’t trust anyone else, because they’ll kick him out of the jedi, out of his marriage, out of all of he knows and loves and all the way back to watto and jabba. (obviously they probably would not do this. but anakin has been systematically conditioned through circumstance to think this way. anakin’s story is high tragedy, where situations pile up to the point that, through one mistake, he topples a whole society. oops.)
anakin makes the wrong choice. anakin doesn’t love padme too much. anakin isn’t too little of a jedi. anakin isn’t ultimately too selfish. anakin doesn’t stand up for himself. passionate, angry, idealistic, firestorm anakin was never told by anyone that it was okay to make his own choices, or that what he thought was as important as what other people thought. anakin loves padme so much he breaks the jedi code to marry her, and then never tells anybody about it because he’s terrified of the council. anakin loves qui-gon and obi-wan so much that he agrees to leave his mother, and then never goes back for her because he’s told she’s an attachment he has to let go of. anakin feels so guilty about never going back for her (despite, see above, being conditioned to not make his own choices) that he slaughters an entire innocent village. anakin begins the prequels saying that he’s going to free every slave, and then ends up being ‘held on a leash’ by tarkin. anakin thinks the woman he loves is going to die— what’s he to do? he’s not allowed to have married her. he can’t trust the people he loves. so of course he runs to the sith. the sith proclaim to be about selfishness, about power, and ultimately, about freedom— but the sith, too, are run on a system of masters and servants. anakin lives in a universe that has been shaped— with lots of help from palpatine, who’s the only person who comes out on top in this, of course— to tell him that he’s not only not allowed to make his own choices, but even thinking them will harm him and the people he loves. and so anakin chooses the only thing he thinks he can. the only thing that will actually save padme. anakin chooses the sith. and anakin becomes even more chained than before.
and this inability to choose for himself, to try to find the right among all the things that have been (fairly literally) beaten into him, continues through the original trilogy— in anh, he’s completely under the thumb of tarkin despite demonstrably being able to murder anyone in the room with a thought. in esb, when he’s told about luke, his first instinct is that they ‘rule the galaxy as father and son’, and when luke says no, he goes running back to palpatine. anakin doesn’t even consider throwing over palpatine himself until palpatine attacks luke— he brings luke to palpatine to be his new apprentice. luke’s existence isn’t enough. padme’s death isn’t enough. the fall of the jedi isn’t enough. becoming palpatine’s pet isn’t enough. what is the only thing that allows anakin to finally make an independent choice?
“father, please”. his son— his untrained child— the only thing left of padme, who he failed, of obi-wan, who he betrayed, of himself, when he cared about something— is completely and utterly helpless, and the one man anakin thought cared about him is going to murder him, painfully, in front of his eyes. luke is given the same choice as anakin— the people you love will die, your society will be despotic and inhumane, you will be betrayed by your family and friends, you will lose everything— and luke says, “father, please”. luke not only demonstrates to anakin what it is to make his own choices, luke also demonstrates what it is to willingly trust someone else with your love and your life in the most dire of circumstances. and in doing so, luke willingly hands anakin the reins. and anakin looks between the man who’s held those reins for twenty years and the man who is looking at him saying ‘i love you enough to let you choose’, and finally gets to actually make a choice. in these circumstances, that choice is easy.
