more or less on hiatus bc currently going thru some things but here’s my mickey’s not so scary halloween party costume . . .
an 80’s slasher film but it’s kylo as the masked killer and your muse as the final girl , please and thx
knight-captain ren is an encounterable npc during the events of DRAGON AGE II . he's first seen at the very beginning of hawke's journey , outside the gates of kirkwall , denying access to ferelden refugees. this is the one and only time ren is seen as an ordinary knight-templar ; shortly after his post in kirkwall began, ( somewhere between the prologue & act i ) he caught the eye of one KNIGHT-COMMANDER MEREDITH and jumped the templar ranks to knight-captain , taken under wing as her apprentice. he is her shadow (always seen in the same cutscenes as her) , her muscle . . . and her FURY. he alone enacts meredith’s will in the form of the rite of tranquility. if hawke aids them, mage refugees whisper of the unspeakable things he has done to their peers. they fear his brutality even more than they do his master. other templar-knights ( particularly , cullen ) express contempt for skipping rank and being the knight-commander’s pet , and rumors begin to surface of him being an escaped grey warden. his loyalty to meredith and the templar order appears unwavering throughout the events of the game, though his appearance changes subtly. as a knight-templar at the gates, ren is pristine and his dark eyes sparkle with fervor & devotion. he progressively becomes more unkept: dark circles encircle dulled eyes , his cheeks become gaunt , his hair unkempt, and his uniform no longer bears the polished templar emblem. by the end of act iii , the knight-captain is nothing more than a hollowed shell of the man he once was. the sparkle has been put out for good. a visible , red aura hangs from him and red lyrium crystals may even be cresting the surface of his skin. in the final battle , ren does the unexpected : he turns against his master. while meredith reveals the lyrium sword , hawke can see the knight-captain slowly maneuver behind her , into her shadow , with a hand poised on the hilt of his weapon , ready to strike. 2 choices are presented to hawke: remain silent & allow the apprentice to kill his master or stop him by making meredith aware of ren’s position. if allowed to kill meredith himself , ren will express his thanks to the champion of kirkwall before escaping through the city gates and into the free marches. the second choice results depend on whether hawke supported the mages or the templars. if hawke supports the mages , knight-captain ren is immediately killed by his master’s hand. if hawke supports the templars , ren is merely wounded , distracting meredith long enough for hawke to engage in combat and put an end to the woman’s tyranny over kirkwall. in this ending , after the combat has ended , a wounded ren is seen crawling up to the remains of the lyrium sword . he picks up the ruined hilt . when the camera pans back to his face , his wounds are mysteriously healed and there’s a sinisterly bright glow emanating from the crystals protruding from him. he flees kirkwall , that awful red aura trailing him.
*waggles fist* back in my day , you had to learn HTML coding just to rp !!!
han solo's blaster is DEAFENING to the boy's ears, masking the sound of bodies slumping to the ground. shooting it had been easy enough; ben hadn't even needed to leave their hiding place , tucked behind one of the building's seemingly countless intersections . just point around the corner and shoot, like dad taught him . . . ( though ben added his own flare by using the force to help guide the blaster barrel ) . so why , then , does it hurt so bad? like his lungs are constricting shut. his breaths feel ragged , quick.
i killed them , the thought rings so clearly in his head it's nearly palpable. a strangled choke , something between a sob and a suppressed laugh , answers. his hands are stained with the blood of 3 men , now and forever , no matter how often he tries to wipe them clean-
it's seth's voice that grounds him, reeling him back towards reality.
❛ we’re gonna survive this, right? ❜ ― @enkindledrage
all of this . . . it was to save his brother. ben solo would do it again, a thousand times over, if it meant his safety. ben swallows back the hard lump in his throat.
❛ definitely, ❜ he whispers. a shaky smile tugs at the corners of his lips, but it doesn't quite reach his eyes . if he's learned ANYTHING from the great han solo other than how to shoot a blaster , it's that sometimes you just have to fake it till you make it; showing fear can mean death. ❛ if we stick together. i'm not going to let anything happen to you. ❜
ben's eyes shift away , intensely inspecting the crossroads. he tries to feel which way the force directs him to go , but it yields nothing ; his mind feels as untrained as a newly born fathier . . . wobbly , unstable. maybe that will change one day, with uncle luke's help. ❛ which way? ❜
you seem unsure of yourself. the path of uncertainty is never worth traveling.
. . . so THAT'S what that road sign a few parsecs back said.

when do you gaze at your soulmate? ; tagged by @nursc
when they're already watching you you know. you always know when they're looking and especially when they're not. you feel their eyes on you and at first you just feel it. you pretend not to notice and you smile to yourself. it's warm. and maybe it's foolish and cliche but there are butterflies in your stomach and that's the feeling you want to hold onto. so you do. you can't the appropriate amount of seconds which feel like minutes. then you lift your own eyes and meet theirs and those butterflies turn into fireworks. they see you and you see them. and there is nothing more comforting and exhilarating as that.

one theme that really drew me to ben solo as a character is just how well he captures the utter LONELINESS of being an only child . ben solo was canonically cared for by droids the majority of his upbringing because his parents were more preoccupied with other , work-related matters. this feeds into much of what we see of kylo ren: deep-seated attachment and abandonment issues . the desire to just feel WANTED . he searches for a sense of connection everywhere to fill the void his parents left . . . from surrounding himself with the knights of ren , to snoke and the first order , to rey , maybe even the force itself. once he finds it , he'll do just about anything to protect himself from being abandoned again ― even if it meant killing his own father . it isn't until after his redemption that ben really has to confront his trauma . . . and himself. he spent years blaming han & leia for leaving him feel so broken , so empty. accepting that his parents weren't infallible, that they were human beings just trying their best to keep their heads above a sea of obligations is very difficult for him to swallow . . . honestly, ben might NEVER fully come to terms with it. but i do like to think that he spends many sunrises or sunsets cursing / yelling at / talking to / crying to thin air like his parents are there to listen and understand.
There had never been a moment in living or now, even in death, did she question the Force. The beyond was unknown to all until they reached that point, and it appeared that in her passing, Padmé had grown attached to her family. Not to her previous family, extending to sibling, mother, and father, but instead to the family he had created, and the families they had created. First, she watched over her beloved but then turned to watch her children grow, the falls and rises- to the moment her very own daughter had a son of her own.
It was a feeling of pride, welcome, and love she felt in those moments. A grandchild, it made her heart ache knowing she could never be there as a whole, an old lady to hold, spoil, and give her all to him. Ben Solo, was the name. Force sensitive, like his uncle, and grandfather. As much as it bothered her that she couldn’t be there physically, she was there spiritually… or something of the matter.
Even with her lack of knowledge, she was aware of the training that Jedi had to do, her son was the one offering these force-sensitive children and teens training.
But she couldn’t help but watch him. Here, she could feel conflict, though she couldn’t entirely put her finger on it, she worried. Padmé wondered if apprentices and masters sometimes felt they could not share all of what they felt with one another, similar to how friends and family would remain silent about certain topics in fear of being ridiculed or judged. Perhaps if she could reach him, there could be someone there to help him, or just offer an ear to when she was able to manage such a thing.
Was she?
On multiple occasions she attempted to reach out, to be heard, or even seen. She found more success in attempting when he meditated- which felt wrong like she was intruding on future Jedi business, but she wished for him to know she was there. Finally, it happened.
She felt a tinge of excitement course through her body as eyes looked in her direction and questioned her. She had found a way to speak to him directly. “Family.” She started before continuing to answer the first question, “Padmé Amidala, and yes. I mean… I wish to try to.” A smile was offered, as he stepped in her direction.
FAMILY . even the sound of it bristles the hairs on the nape of ben's neck. before master luke , before the jedi , that word belonged solely to the only people he knew: his mother & father . . . but even then , it left him feeling empty, hollowed out , like something important was missing. now that word is nothing but an omen , a testament to the peril of attachment. it stops him cold in his tracks.
so that's what this is . . . a test? master luke did say that his connection to the order would be tried.
he won't succumb.
❛ the jedi are my family now. ❜ he speaks from his chest , with as much CONVICTION as a padawan can muster. ❛ are you one ― a jedi? ❜
a part of him senses the truth , that their bond is more deeply rooted than the jedi order . . . he asks anyway. that's the broken boy whose parents abandoned him for duty and left him to be someone else's problem far , far away from home . that's not him. ben can not and will not let that broken boy out , no matter how AWARE he may be.
❛ tell me how to make it stop. ❜ those dark eyes , so full of light and hope . he harbors such pain.
ah yes , i’m now the owner of the holy grail—
Maybe we’ve both gone mad.
