Time to get emotional about the lighting of the beacons
also props to the many folks in that chain whose job it is to hang out in the cold by a massive pile of firewood they can't use
If you would like to read about the ones who kept watch over the beacons, my dear friend @urrone wrote a beautiful story about them.
The Rest is Silence
Granny Weatherwax vs Yoda?
Granny Weatherwax would absolutely devastate Yoda and we would all be blessed to see it.
One way that I think she could drive Yoda absolutely nuts, is that she would be just the kind of ideologically confrontational, the exact kind of unyielding in the face of Jedi Wisdom<sup>TM</sup> that Yoda would be expecting a fight.
The last few Darksiders we see in his universe are so easy to provoque into going for their lightsabers (and she can’t be of the Light Side, can she?)
He wants it to come to a fight, because she’s not letting him bulldoze or derail her, and she’s raising a lot of deeply uncomfortable points and she won’t escalate into a fight.
…and he can’t stay the reasonable wise elder in the face of rampaging evil if he’s the one to start it. So he can’t.
So he has to debate with the….. witch.
#When’s the last time Yoda had to debate someone?
#someone that he hadn’t taught in the creche
#someone who wasn’t awed by him
#someone who’s unimpressed by his bullshit but also not an enemy
#so he can’t dismiss her
This is everything I want tbh.
fialleril: #yoda hasn’t been challenged in literally centuries#he’s that very worst kind of person in power#the kind that’s complacent and genuinely believes they’re doing what’s best for everyone#the kind of powerful person granny weatherwax despises most tbh#this would be glorious
I have just listened to a podcast series where two glorious nerds dissect the Star Wars prequels in painstaking detail, and based on the prequels, this characterization of Yoda is EXACTLY correct.
can you imagine Granny Weatherwax allowing EMPEROR GODDAMN PALPATINE to come to power can you imagine a single universe where she would meet him and not IMMEDIATELY see through him THAT’S CORRECT YOU CANNOT
Oh but she’d let him think his plans were going off without a hitch. She’d let him think he had her completely duped. She’d let him think he knew her every thought and motivation. She might even let him think he’d tricked her into supporting him. Right up until the very end.
“I ain’t been Sithed. You’ve been Weatherwaxed.”
“Do or do not,” Yoda said. “There is no try.”
“Hmph.” The old woman across from him, withered from age and skinny as a garden rake, crossed her arms. “Seems to me that a body that ain’t tryin’ ain’t learning. And thems that don’t learn, don’t grow.”
Yoda blinked. “Try one does, and fail. Frustrations this leads to. Hate. The dark side.”
“Only if one is sillier than Magrat around a baby bird,” muttered the old woman to herself. She shook her head. “You try, you fail, you try again. You try better and fail better and you learn. And learnin’ never led to any darkness. That comes from selfishness, from removing yerself.”
“The Jedi must be removed.”
“Or your wand gets wilted?” The old woman sighed and stood. She was dressed like a crow, a scruffy, dusty crow in mismatched black. With piercing blue eyes she looked at his Jedi robes. “Seems to me that the best fix for your problem is get up and get yer hands dirty. Nothing wrong ever came from doing a little honest work.”
“Yes. Work hard a Jedi must. Serve the order.”
“Serve the people. Order finds its own way or it don’t, it makes no never mind. You’ve got to look to the small things.”
“Think of the many, a Jedi must!” Yoda felt the old temptation to fall into anger. The dark side tempted him as he stood against this woman, dressed like no Sith or Jedi he’d ever known.
She lifted her chin. “Thinking of the many is what lost you the galaxy. You took children and stripped them of the first thing they ever loved. Told them never to hold to anyone. You can’t protect what you can’t love.”
“A distraction, love is. Leads the mind from the ways of the Force it will.”
“If your Force requires you to leave all you love, and love only yourself, it’s no force of good at all.” She pulled a shawl of faded black around her shoulders. “Now, I suppose you ought to try learnin’ now. Perhaps after you do some tryin’ you’ll grow up a little.”
Yoda stood, leaning on his cane. “When nine hundred years you reach-”
“I won’t reach ninety and I’ll still be wiser than you!” the old woman snapped.
Only practice calmed the inner rage that he was close to succumbing too. “Wisdom you speak, perhaps. A name you have?”
“Granny,” she said. “Thems that knows me well call me Granny Weatherwax.”
Having read this, I can now die happy.
#tho tbh i’m pretty sure she’d make yoda call her ‘mistress weatherwax’ #since he probably ranks about as highly in her esteem as mrs. earwig #but otherwise yes #pretty much my entire dash right now is commentary on granny weatherwax schooling various fictional mentors #it’s amazing
Discworld Heritage Post
I'm re-reading the Discworld series for reasons, and honestly the most relatable part of reading these as an adult is how many of the protagonists start out being tired, used to their little routine and vaguely disgruntled by the interruption of the Plot. Sam Vimes wants to lie drunk in a gutter and absolutely doesn't want to be arresting dragons. Rincewind is yanked into every situation he's ever encountered, though he'd much rather be lying in a gutter too. (Minus the alcohol. Plus regretting everything he's ever done said witnessed or even heard about fourth-hand in his whole life.) Granny Weatherwax is deeply suspicious of foreign parts and that includes the next town over; Nanny has leaned into the armor of "nothing ever happens to jolly grannies who terrorize their daughters-in-law and make Saucy Jokes"
Only the young people don't seem to have picked up on this---and that's fortunate, because someone has to run around making things happen, if only so Vimes and Granny and Rincewind have a reason to get up (complaining bitterly the whole time) and put it all to rights. Without Carrot, Margrat, Eric, etc. these characters don't have that reason; they're likely to stay in the metaphorical gutter and keep wondering where it all went wrong or why anything has to change.
............well, that's not quite true. You get the sense that Vetinari knows how much certain people hate the Plot. And as the person sitting behind the metaphorical lighting board of Ankh-Morpork, he takes no small pleasure in forcing the Plot-haters specifically to stand up, and say some lines.
#vetinari is the bugs bunny of discworld but with a knife
omg
Numb // Linkin Park 80s Remix
I didn’t know how much I needed this until I heard it.
The original song is how depression felt at first, this version is how it feels now
@l-heure-du-the this is so VIOLENTLY your fucking aesthetic
From “… nothing matters…” to “NOTHING MATTERS! :D”

Tumblr users jerk off to the hydraulic press now
i would kill for the confidence of novelists who write genius-poet characters and then actually write samples of the “genius” poetry in the book. if i were a novelist writing a genius-poet i’d just be like “trust me, the poetry’s real good.”
Sometimes the challenge is fun, sometimes as an artist you need to stroke your own ego for a minute and listen to it purr happily.
You shouldn’t let your ego get too big but also if you let it get to small then you’ll never do anything so it’s good to be overconfident once in a while to give it a hug.

ok i love how everyone decided older!adrien has long hair and older!marinette has short hair but like. i imagine there’s a point in the process of growing it out/cutting it short where they intersect at each other’s old haircuts and it’s like
the new adrinette dynamic is better actually
one sided (ladybug) reveal but adrien just takes up his usual flirting tendencies
Miraculous x Tumblr posts because it's really fun to make these ∠( ᐛ 」∠)＿ Part 2
Here’s a comic I made back in May for #mlb_10ten ⠀ The story goes like this: Ladybug secretly gave up her duties to focus on raising her kids, and only her husband knows about it - to everyone else, she just disappeared without a trace. ⠀ The comic is only two pages long; after that, I added some close-ups. I hope you enjoy the concept and the emotional tension in this scene 👀
