Hi, I hope you're doing well! Thanks for all your content/meta/what have you, it really makes my day~ I started following you after I realized you and Dogmatix wrote Star to Steer By, which is one of my favorite fics, and I haven't regretted it! So thanks for being awesome
*FLAILS AND HEARTS* That is so very kind of you, and I am delighted that @dogmatix and I continue to entertain! <333 Thank YOU for being awesome!
On my second episode of Rebels, and I need to scream at more than the one person. Spoilers, I guess?
UGH, there are some DELICIOUS character interactions that were DROPPED ON THE FLOOOOOOR.
Zeb cuts and runs as soon as Ezra is held hostage against him. This guy is TERRIFIED of emotions, TERRIFIED of dying, and good gods HE DOES NOT WANT TO CARE ABOUT ANYONE BECAUSE LOSING SOMEONE AGAIN WOULD HURT. TOO. DAMN. MUCH!
DAMMIT SHOW, GIVE ME THAT ZEB TALKING TO SOMEONE ABOUT JEDI VIEWS ON ATTACHMENT
*PAWING AT SCREEN*
THEY COULD'VE HAD CLONES TALKING TO HIM ABOUT "YEAH, THE GENERAL SAID SOME THINGS ABOUT ATTACHMENT, HOW BEING ENTIRELY CUT OFF IS BAD, BUT PUTTING A SINGLE PERSON BEFORE THE LARGE GROUP IS A REALLY BAD IDEA" AND YOU CAN MAKE. CANON. VIEWS. CONCRETE. They could've EXPLAINED this shit to the audience!
BUT instead we get intermittently physically violent Zeb instead.
UGH. Maybe that’s in episodes I didn’t see. I can hope, right?
This show is gonna drive to me drink, innit.
Regarding this post, and especially SOMEONE’S tags:
Dharma. DHARMA. WHY DID YOU HAVE TO COME ALONG AND MURDER ME WITH POTENTIAL FEELS? THIS IS SUDDENLY SO MUCH I DID NOT KNOW I NEEDED.
Just. Young Knight Kenobi. Maybe it’s canon, so it’s traumatized Obi-Wan trying to take care of a young prodigy, a Kenobi who doesn’t know where or how he fits into the universe and struggling with perpetual imposter’s syndrome (it was bad enough even before his knighting came at the expense of Qui-Gon’s life), trying so hard to be the best kind of Jedi (that he feels he never is). Or maybe it’s an AU, where young Knight Kenobi got booted out of the nest (maybe by being replaced with Anakin, or maybe just after surviving enough of Qui-Gon Jinn’s Shenanigans) – still uncertain, still struggling with the continued proof that he’s never quite good enough, never been chosen.
Then he meets CT-7567, who’s stiff and regimented, desperately clinging to the rules and regs because by some quirk of chance he’s just too far off the baseline. A mutant, visibly different, given CC training and responsibilities but never. quite. good enough by virtue of random genes. A Rex who maybe doesn’t even have a name, maybe hasn’t earned his Jaig eyes yet, a man who doesn’t dare step outside the lines but has the potential to be so much more.
And neither of them have grown into what they could be, men who come across as The Only Sane One in the room even as they’re daring madmen who are happy to dash into the teeth of the fight; tacticians and warriors who bend or break rules while still being the prime example of what could be.
I did not know I needed this, and @dharmaavocado, I am fistshaking at you SO MUCH RIGHT NOW, because dammit, I don’t know how to write it myself!
Fall Out Boy’s Twin Skeletons for the Dakota twins, by Eproth
(I couldn’t find them on the tumbls, but I’ll happily reblog their version if it exists.)
Meanwhile, feels because once again I have to wonder how terrifying and amazing the twins would have been if not for Freelancer’s shenanigans.
A Supplemental Star To Steer By
Our take on Episode III is now live: Ceremony of Innocence.
Description: Eight years into the Separatist Conflict, a Jedi Shadow uncovers information crucial to the war and to the Jedi Order, prompting the Sith Master to accelerate his plans.
sample:
Yoda could recognize Siri Tachi’s voice as her shields faltered a bit. Any sense of reassurance disappeared as a blast of the Dark Side slipped through the same crack that allowed him to identify her.
“Knight Tachi–!” he started, but she spoke over him.
“I need to turn myself in to the Council immediately. My mission had solid results, but–” Her breath shook as she inhaled deeply. 99 knew already, with a deep pang from Yoda. The old Jedi had hoped he would never have to face such horror again.
“This man did not consent to host me. And we are all in terrible danger.”
It’s past 3:30 am. I’ve binged all of Star to Steer By and all its current supplementals. My brain is going hogwild with new possibilities, even if many of them end up slightly to the left. Thank you for writing something so GOOD that my brain demands I run with it!!
*SQUEAKS, flails and hearts!!!* I am so, so glad you like! :D I keep looking for what to say, and it just ends up as delighted squealing, so thank YOU!!!!!
Whenever I see your name I think of Balance. And StSB. And the Mirror series. Basically I just think of beloved fics I’ve read about a dozen times each.
No lie, there was good crying. <333 THANK YOU!
