“They hate each other in canon!”

Have you no joy? No whimsy? No spark of imagination? Do you not revel in the strange, messy complexities of human relationships?

you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.

writing-is-a-martial-art

truly some people have no genre savviness whatsoever. A girl came back from the dead the other day and fresh out of the grave she laughed and laughed and lay down on the grass nearby to watch the sky, dirt still under her nails. I asked her if she’s sad about anything and she asked me why she should be. I asked her if she’s perhaps worried she’s a shadow of who she used to be and she said that if she is a shadow she is a joyous one, and anyway whoever she was she is her, now, and that’s enough. I inquired about revenge, about unfinished business, about what had filled her with the incessant need to claw her way out from beneath but she just said she’s here to live. I told her about ghosts, about zombies, tried to explain to her how her options lie between horror and tragedy but she just said if those are the stories meant for her then she’ll make another one. I said “isn’t it terribly lonely how in your triumph over death nobody was here to greet you?” and she just looked at me funny and said “what do you mean? The whole world was here, waiting”. Some people, I tell you.

(DJD) ORV Swap AU

— where instead of Kim Dokja reading "Ways to Survive a Ruined World ", Gamer Yoo Joonghyuk is invested in a live-service action RPG called "Omniscient Reader's Viewpoint! "

At first, there are a lot of players who check it out, but as time goes on, people have a hard time liking the protagonist "Kim Dokja" because of how unreliable of a narrator he is and how difficult it is to "self insert" themselves into his character, calling it cheap and boring. And because the updates are live-service, content is lacking and the playerbase drops significantly as time goes on.

Yoo Joonghyuk picks up the game at a young age — long before becoming a streamer. And unlike everyone else who disliked Kim Dokja's character, Yoo Joonghyuk became interested in understanding him. He didn't judge him for being unreadable because he, in his own way, was the same. There was also a character in the game who closely resembled him, too. Yoo Joonghyuk doesn't like that guy.

Whenever story updates for the game came out, Yoo Joonghyuk would stop his stream just to play it, even when he eventually gets to a point that he doesn't have to worry about spoilers because he ends up being it's only player. It felt like a game just for him.

So when he makes it to the end and Kim Dokja is scattered across the universe, Yoo Joonghyuk steps onto that train one fateful day with a heavy heart until...

"Kim Dokja, don't be a fool. Cross with me."

"Did I...ever tell you my name?"

'Yoo Joonghyuk feels a little different...'

"I saw your badge on the floor. Now hurry up before I throw you off this bridge."

He refuses to let this fool die a dozen times.

I applaud the effort that went into this seconds-long bit.

my favorite allen walker shonen protagonist thing is whenever he gives happy smiler pep talks about hope or whatever there’s always one character who’s like 😬 Jesus Christ this kid is lying to himself like it’s his job and it will burn him out so bad one day. like for all he can fall into the fist clenching we will get through this with the power of friendship trope it’s always at least a little undercut by someone nearby thinking ohhhhh my god no we won’t and it’s actually kind of scary that I can’t tell if he really believes that we will or not. there’s something wrong with this kid. and then you get allen POV late series where things get so bad he genuinely does burn out and is like damn there actually might not be hope for me. maybe lying to myself all the time wasn’t actually manifesting maybe it was just lying. haha. and then he tries to run away and die like a sick dog.

Potc is crazy because it spends 90% of its time with wacky pirate shenanigans and then every so often it stops and stares you dead in the eyes and asks what it would take for you to abandon your moral philosophy and at what point the greater good outweighs the individual good and then it goes right back to wacky pirate shenanigans .5 seconds later
