I know Wildbow is extrapolating from recent trends about celebrity culture, the lack of privacy and AI-reconstructions, but this really speaks to me.
Even now, in tumblr, if you search for an actress or click a tag, you're almost guaranteed to find AI-gen nudity. Dragging it all to it's logical end and you're trapped in a nightmare. It fucking sucks.
Hey happy May 4th may the 4th be with you and all that remember when I posted about Anakin being Icarus coded well due to the occasion I decided im going to yap about it cause im actually really normal
Basically im going to be a nerd and talk about two of my hyper-fixations (Fable and Star Wars) under the cut
So so so
My friend was so correct in making the comment about Icarus being Anakin coded. Because oh they so are. The need for approval, the need to feel important and do something wrong with the excuse in their head of doing it to protect the people they love- it’s so Icarus coded.
If I was to make a proper Star Wars AU, I’d probably use the original trilogy-
Luke is Icarus so I can do the hey Fable is your dad and they’re tempted by the dark side and also in the sequels they can just fuck off to the middle of nowhere and that’s basically Icarixis.
Then Leia is so Rae coded regardless- prince being adopted by like Enderian or something and falling in love with rugged scoundrel guy (me too) who would most likely be Caspian.
Dare I say Athena and Jamie are R2D2 and C-3PO coded? Because they are.
Also hey looks at Star Wars rebels Hera and Kanan are very coded to like multiple people but dare I say Wolftross.
But that’s just me assigning characters. I could literally just write fable in a Star Wars universe and I could give so so much lore on that.
Like yes Icarus is extremely Sith coded. Rae is very Jedi coded. Athena is Ahsoka Tano coded. They’re a gray Jedi. Listen to mee.
The different species. Rae being a Jedi and having to struggle with the fact that he’s falling in love with not just one but 3 people. I could make a whole arc about that. Or also balancing being a prince and political figure (Padme Amidala and Leia style)
Icarus turning to the Dark Side because their father is turning them in that direction.
Athena would have a whole arc of finding out their connection to the force. If I run with the Ahsoka Tano coding, I stare at the S1 training arc. With Dark side corrupt Icarus. Anyways.
Or- If I’m focusing on Icarus (which, when am I not-), I could to multiple ways.
One- They have no connection to the force. Like, how, in Fable they don’t have a connection to the creation powers.
Two- Their emotion causes a rift between them and their connection to the force. Anakin coding of their driven by their emotion and that results in their connection to the dark side.
Three- Taking the above but running with their connection to Midas over Fable. (Midas would be a grey Jedi, they conceal their identity and train orphaned or wayward kids who have a connection to the force. They would be able to see Icarus’s Midochlorian count and see that it would be high enough for them to have a connection with the force, but due to their emotion and lack of proper training they can’t control it yet. Maybe Midas trains them.
Centross and Wolf give me Smuggler vibes. Maybe they’re force sensitive, maybe they aren’t. But also- smuggler Centross and Jedi Icarus would just be kind of silly. He’d be good at it too.
Or- Smuggler Fenris and Bounty Hunter Centross. Because- self explanatory. Violet Reaper being a Mandalorian or something sounds so neat. I could design the Mandalorian armor right now- actually. I might draw that later.
There’s also the thing of former soldiers, and I could go in depth on various eras of war in Star Wars but I think it would suffice to say that Fenris is like- either former clone general or former Storm Trooper general. (Leaning towards storm trooper but it just depends on the era this would take place in. If I go for clones Icarus is so clone coded. But I digress.)
Caspian also is giving smuggler vibes, and I could see Him, Aax, and Rae traveling together on a ship. Maybe they pick up the others along the way. (Something something the Lodestar and they smuggle people for the rebellion and just do general smuggling jobs as well as shipment jobs)
Anyways I need to stop so I don’t keep yapping. I could go on. Maybe I should write a Star Wars AU at this rate. Who knows maybe I will.
(Thanks for reading this far I hope you enjoy the rest of your scrolling and things have good timezone)
