*deep breath* screams

This used to be such a random blog, now it's mostly Star Wars. I blame Ewan McGregor and Temuera Morrison's faces for the reawakening of this Beast

if you need more proof of how much of an idiot i am, just know that i stayed up till o-dark-thirty last night making blueprints and cutaway diagrams of the Jedi Temple in microsoft excel

[kingofattolia]

Like… if anyone knows a free program that’s good for ACTUALLY doing stuff like this, please let me know. 

LINK TO HIGH RES IMAGES cause of tumblr compression.

Here’s what I made so far. Most of it is based on the ubiquitous cutaway from the Star Wars: Complete Locations book, and @gffa​‘s masterpost is an invaluable resource. I added as much as I could of things that aren’t covered in older material (like the aquatic levels from Master and Apprentice) and things that we know exist but we don’t know where (like the Temple Sparring Arena).

Most of the First Knowledge Quarter is straight from the book cutaway, which is nice. I’m making this for my fic, obviously, so the exact placement of what’s in the other quarters is just something I made up according to what seemed to make sense, since we don’t have any exact information.

I didn’t give the Reassignment Quarter its own cutaway yet because there seems to be almost NO information I can find about what exactly the “Public Annex” consists of. If anyone has any other good Temple resources, please share, my crops are dying, my children are starving…

Ooh thank you!  In addition to the above link, I’ve added on here and here in that Jedi Temple Masterpost, in case anyone wants to look them over.  They’re a mix of Canon and Legends, but you do what you gotta do when canon is so scarce on how the Jedi Temple operates and SOBS I LOVE THAT PLACE SO MUCH if ILMxLAB really wanted to make my dreams come true, they’d build the Jedi Temple and let us take a tour through it.  (And then make an Order 66 game to make us all weep brokenly while we tried to defend our sacred Temple from That Dumbass Jerk.)

Thank you, brave, dedicated person who did this

I love the very sweet and wholesome prince/knight of it all. But I really, really feel that we all need to pay more attention to the fact that all those images/gifs/clips that we have of Baelor looking someone up and down and staring at them with the the most “finally some good fucking food” expression I’ve ever seen in my life??? You know the ones. The ones being used for every edit, faceclaim, roleplay etc

Yeah he’s staring at Dunk.

Dunk hadn’t even opened his mouth and Baelor stood there thinking “Is this three-course-meal worth of man for me??”

Then Dunk starts talking and reveals himself to be the sweetest, most earnest person to walk the face of the earth and Baelor’s like “Oh! Yes. Yes he is.”

This moment between Mika and Jackie in the new 'Legends Roundtable' video killed me 😆.

*Mika talking about how safe he felt in his car*

Jackie: You literally died.

He is right though, Sid Watkins and all the medics are heroes! Whole video is heart warming, they really are legends. Find it here! ❤️

[sherlocking-out-loud]

I haven't seen this circulating here on Tumblr, so I decided to make my own post.

last saturday, in Porto, there was a pride parade going down the street and this old man was standing there, by his front door, waving the portuguese flag. most people on the parade probably thought the same: old person waving the national flag? he's probably protesting against the parade, he's a nationalist of some sort.

then the old man called for that person to come near him. the whole parade stopped. everyone just.. stopped moving. they didn't know what to expect, and most expected the worst. and that person decided to give him the benefit of the doubt and approached the old man. and then... they traded flags, he hugged the person and then he waved the pride flag happily. everyone cheered him.

such a wholesome moment. 🥹❤️🌈

Do you ever think about how obi is the youngest on the council? All of his. colleagues remember him as a baby and an angry teenager. I would die if that was my workplace

ONLY ALL THE TIME

Obi-Wan getting jokingly called the "Council baby" in fics brings me so much joy. They recall when he was a feral, traumatised kid who would constantly get into trouble (though not much has changed there.....). Yoda has padawan photos. After Obi-Wan fucked up on a mission and landed himself in medbay, Yoda probably forwarded them to the rest of the council as punishment for getting hurt. Obi-Wan is STILL mad about it.

Anakin flat-out doesn't believe any of this, until Adi shows him a video of Qui-Gon dangling a squirming teenage Obi-Wan by the back of his robes like a mama tooka to stop him from leaping at another padawan and taking a chunk out of him

Apparently a part of the reason why farmed bees stay in the beehives that humans build for them is because the farm hives are safer and sturdier. I don't know how a busy Discord server's worth of bugs that only have one brain cell each would logically conclude that the humans protect them from outside threats, illness and parasites, but if I understood right, the bees would be free to move away and build a new nest somewhere else any time they'd want, and they simply choose not to.

You know how in almost every culture, people have some concept of "if I sacrifice something that I made/grew/produced to the Gods, they will ward me and my harvest from evil"?

So, in a way, don't the bees willingly sacrifice a part of their harvest to an entity not only far greater than them, but nearly beyond their comprehension, in exchange for protection against natural forces wildly outside of their own control?

So tell me, beekeepers, what are you to your bees, if not a mildly eldritch God?

[cordyceps-sapiens]

I don’t know about other cultures, but in English folklore, when a beekeeper dies someone has to go out and tell the bees.

[baconmancr]

Imagine you’re a neolithic hunter-gatherer, just hanging out, sacrificing stuff to your god, when a new god you’ve never met before shows up and tells you that your god is dead, it’s not your fault or anything, and maybe a new god will come along to take care of you, maybe not, it’s gonna be touch and go for a while

[fox-sama97]

Apparently in medieval Europe they also whispered secrets to the bees.

So imagine the mildly eldritch God you worship talks to you and tells you secrets, but these secrets make no sense to you and are incomprehensible to understand or even know they are secrets. But your God does make vibrations at you, so thats probably a good thing right??

Also occasionally the Swarm decides there is not enough room in the Hive because the eldritch god didn't take the offering of Honey at their normal time. So enough of a Swarm builds up that the second queen is able to leave without decimating the first Swarm. They are all set to search out a new place that will likely not have your God anymore (but really that's not too much of a struggle, they have abandoned you, that's part of why you've left, even though the first Swarm still holds out hope for their return).

And then, the scouts find another Hive right next to the old Hive. Literally right next to it. So the Queen lands to inspect it and wow, it's a good deal. The area already has enough food to support 2 Hives, so it's a not problem to stay in the area now that they have the space, but...this wasn't here before.

And then you see God, they've come to help the Swarm move to the new Hive and take the offering from the old Hive. Truly this must have been their plan all along

[samyazaz]

In English folklore, you ALSO have to invite your bees to your wedding, and decorate their hive, and leave a slice of cake for them, and also bring your new spouse by to introduce them to the hive straightaway. Imagine your eldritch god doing THAT.

[eldritchscholar]

#these polite beekeepers are just modeling the behavior they would like to see from their own god maybe? #perhaps if we could sting God he would tell us secrets
