This was inspired by a comment @yuuzhanbong made recently.

Aayes looked up to see Fulcrum had entered the kitchen, still slowly waking up.  "Did you sleep well?" "Yeah."  He studied her as he poured himself some caf.  "Did you?" Had he seen her?  "I guess." "I saw you last night.  Your eyes were glowing and you were talking.  Are you okay?" She hesitated, her lekku twitching a bit nervously.  "I..."  What was she supposed to say?  The Force was foreign to Fulcrum, sometimes more than that.  "I was talking to my mother's spirit." The Kaleesh was shocked.  "So Ixarte--" "No, not Ixarte.  My biological mother, Shiri." The woman whose holo he'd found for her.  "Do you want to talk about it?"

“Y--yeah...”  Aayes took the tip of one lek between her fingers, rolling them up and down.  “It was...odd.  I kind of had a vague memory of her, but seeing how similar we were, hearing her voice...”  She felt her throat choke up, and her eyes dampen.

Fulcrum pulled her close.  “It’s okay, take your time.”

She smiled.  “It was nice to be able to talk to my mom.  She was so proud of how far I’ve come, everything I’ve done.”

“She wasn’t bothered you by you being trained as a Sith?”

“No.  She was happy I was rescued, and that I kept a good moral compass all this time.”  She sighed and nuzzled into his chest.  “And she likes you, too.”

He smiled softly.  “I’m glad you could talk to her, even if I don’t get it.”

“I’m just happy to have you to talk to about it, cyare.”  She wanted to tell him that she wished she could help him talk to his deceased clan members, to help him reconnect with their souls.  But...that might be pushing it, and she was a diplomat.  “What’s on today’s agenda?”

was thinking about your post on how much you hate obi-wan and while I can't bring myself to hate that man, I realized that you're absolutely right when it comes to what satine could have been. the narrative is so preoccupied with her previous relationship with that man that it could never actually grapple with the idea of satine being a bad person. the internal logic of the story being obi-wan good -> obi-wan romance satine -> satine good (if flawed) because if satine was bad it might mean obi-wan bad and we can't have that. his presence ultimately hampers any possible interrogation of satine's motivations. just another reason to hate ob*tine. anyway thank you for your time

YEAH IT’S THAT. the narrative really can’t consider the possibility of obi-wan not having good taste huh

13, 20, 25

13. a reboot of a song/songs you already loved (remix, mashup, acoustic, etc.)

we hate the be*tles but covers of their songs are cool

20. a song that empowers you

25. the song currently stuck in your head OR the song you are listening to right now

your most unpopular transformers opinion. now.

transformers opinions are such a chaotic warzone that i legitimately have no clue what constitutes popular vs unpopular so i will just fire off a bunch

-david kaye is the superior megatron over frank welker

-some of the movie designs are good especially in revenge of the fallen

-most of the human kids are nowhere near as annoying as they’re made out to be they can just be overused

-beast modes >>> vehicle modes

-no more G1 influence. society has progressed past the need for G1 influence

-unicron trilogy isnt that bad and some of the characters are the strongest in the franchise even if not necessarily from a consistent writing standpoint. also cybertron is good

-they never should have stopped the minicon gimmick

-the bumblebee movie was just kind of ok

@yuuzhanbong Bryce, I loved your Fallout: Alaska character post very very much, but also something absolutely terrible dawned on me.

42, 43, 44 for ace!

42) What are their goals? What would they sacrifice anything for? What is their secret ambition?

Right now, he wants nothing more than to find Benny and exact his revenge. He’s dedicated and single-minded, but true to his word, and if someone wants him to do something in exchange for information, he’s likely to do it. He can be delayed and distracted, but little is likely to dissuade him from his goal. 

43)  Are they religious? What do they think of religion? What do they think of religious people? What do they think of non religious people?

I don’t feel entirely comfortable speaking on Ace’s own faith, as I’ve yet to research Native tribes in the Sierra Nevada mountains (where Ace’s tribe originates from). However, considering his tribe’s eastward expansion to escape the NCR, he more than likely has encountered missionaries from the NCR, and doesn’t think fondly of them. If he ever met Crispy Josh, he’d likely recognize his colonial efforts for what they were.

44) What is their favourite season? Type of weather? Are they good in the cold or the heat? What weather do they complain in the most?

Ace is from the Sierra Nevadas, so he can handle both heat and cold fairly well, to the point that when he’s bundled up in the Troublemaker outfit, he’ll sometimes get asked why he’s not boiling. He’s used to the relative moisture and annual snowfall of the Sierra Nevadas, so when he comes to the Mojave, it’s the dry heat and cold that throws him off the most. The idea that it could be hot during the day and below freezing at night is foreign to him.

yuuzhanbong replied to your post: baby primates (all species) are the greatest...

oh, to be an infant baby hanging out with other baby primates…

when i went to the national zoo in belize there was this baby howler monkey who saw we were watching him and immediately started showing off to us by climbing a couple branches higher, looking back to see if we were still watching while sucking his thumb, climbing a few branches higher, looking back to see if we were still watching, etc until eventually he climbed too high, fell and scared himself and had to have his dad come get him. it was poetic cinema and ill never fucking forget it. i love baby primates i would die for them.
