Theres an alternate world out there where Jason Todd didnt die and the trio is Jason Steph Cass instead of Tim Drake Steph Cass

And I need you all to know Im at my most powerful in that world specifically. I am gnawing at the edge of that particular reality to get in.

Friday I saw my favorite band (Linkin Park) live after years of assuming I never would.

For my entire life, I wanted Linkin Park to be my first concert but I didnt have the kind of disposable income needed for front row tickets like I wanted and then Chester was gone. To extent when my best friend bought me Halestorm tickets in 2020, it felt like a personal betrayal of a goal I'd always wanted.

I cried when they announced their come back and Friday I saw them live. I made friends at the concert and I was close enough to make eye contact with band members. (Row 4!)

Now Ive checked off a major mile stone of my life since I was 13 and I'm trying REALLY hard to be normal at work this morning

Okay so. Im relistening to the Magnus Archives and I have half an idea for a series of Star Wars characters as Avatars one shots ill never write but figure Id blab about here

So

The Vast as Luke Skywalker. A boy whose fear thrills him into embracing the emptiness of space and the open sky. A love of flight and space travel because he only feels complete up there when nothingness surrounds him.

The End as the Death Star. Told less from the space stations POV but more of how the workers and crew feel aboard a place dedicated to death and the end of things. How the gunners feel a thrill run up their spine as Alderaan is destroyed. How Tarkin marvels and is terrified of its power.

The Web as Sheev Palpatine during his running of the Clone Wars as he crafts a massive web spanning the galaxy that he has to hide its existence. Would feature Sheev crawling down one end of the web to talk about his love of democracy and the republic and then climbing down another section as Darth Sidious whispering in the Separatists councils ears about corruption and betrayal.

The Eye as R2D2. A character in every movie and at every important event. His only actions to propel himself further to see and observe more. He considers himself almost a chronicler of events.

The Stranger as Lando Calrissian. Molding himself into any role. From gangster to administration to imperial lackey to turn coat to general just in the films and what he does to survive and thrive.

The Buried as Han Solo in carbonite perhaps? Or Boba in the sarlacc? Perhaps both. Im not sold on this but I have half an idea of Han being conscious through the carbonite and suffering the entire year between films and emerging as an avatar that feeds Boba Fett to his diety

The Corruption as Jabba. How everything he touches turns to rot and sickness. Tbh I struggle with the imagery for this one cause yikes but how things just rot in his palace would be the one shot.

The Slaughter as the Clones told during Utupau. How theyre constantly fed into the meat grinder for their power. How it chews on them and how theyre the victims. But at the end of the battle they would feel it change. They would feel themselves approaching the Fears powers. It would energize them through the battle and at the end? At its height? Cody nearly dancing as he feels his people's fate turn? Order 66 comes down and the ultimate slaughter begins.

The Hunt as Boba Fett. Self explanatory but would feature him feeding his entity through his hunts and his hunt for Luke

The Desolation as Anakin Skywalker/Darth Vader. How over the clone wars he burns hotter and brighter becoming a star of unparalleled brightness and power before it turns on itself and almost cannibalizes him resulting in his fall amd Darth Vader being all his lost potential and how Vader clings to his entity to remain day to day but his is now a burnt out and charred wreck himself

The Spiral as Obi-Wan Kenobi. A man so used to half truths and lies he himself doesnt know what he believes half the time. He moves through tunnels charming and lying his way across tatooine manipulating people to his will.

The Dark as perhaps Maul? How he clings to shadows to stay alive and keep his limited advantage. How he embraces the dark during the clone wars ans empire years to hide from his former masters web.

The Flesh as General Grevious and how he screams throughout a body he no longer has and how he feels about his own existence.

The Lonely as Rey? Perhaps? The original concept occured to me before ep 9 came out so I had an idea about her moving through Jakku alone and only occasionally seeing people but Im not sure anymore.

Anyways just blabbing some thoughts ive had for a long time

I love everyone's experience replaying HZD is an angry sigh upon realizing they'll have to do hunting trials again before a resolute "For Talanah."

And tomorrow I start Heavensward. LOVED the ending to the patch content. I was speculating like crazy going into it since my buddies were hyping it up.

People calling Damian the 4th Robin instead of Steph is my villian origin story

So I deeply love Control (2019) and @butchdykeorpheus is playing through it for the first time and boy it's so good watching people react to things like the threshold kids for the first time
