im not afraid

OG Trilogy, headcanon and Legends based Luke Skywalker rp blog, with some influence from disney continuity. by raive

[wontfailyou]

this is an independent canon-divergent, headcanon based, Legends influenced Luke Skywalker rp blog written by raive. very lowkey activity. sideblog to @astranovus

please note, I have a lot of dislike for the disney movie canon, however I do love most of the characters and know most movie canon. I do not like their movie portrayal of Luke and have canon divergence for the sequel trilogy timeline. If you want to plot, feel free. If you don't, that's fine too.

rules under the cut.

My name is Raive. 21+. I likely won't write with minors. my timezone is EST.

This blog will reference mental health issues such as PTSD and anxiety along with the after effects of trauma such as war and torture. There will be some violent content as SW does deal with war (obv), slavery, and other adult content.

NSFW of the sexy kind will not be often but not unlikely. It will be posted under a read more.

I don't like drama. I'm way too old for that nonsense. Don't send anon hate. Don't be a dick. Being nice is free. If you can't be nice the block button exists. I don't care about what someone ships or doesn't ship so long as they are a good person ooc.

My Luke is based primarily on the original trilogy movies and personal headcanons and some Legends characterization. I follow everything up to Return of the Jedi. I have not watched The Mandalorian and I likely never will catch up (I like Din, i just can't stick with it lmao). I don't enjoy what they did to Luke's character in The Last Jedi. I have an alternate canon for that. If you are Sequel Trilogy writer, let's plot things out.

I'm a slow writer. I'm busy. Real life comes first yada yada. I don't care how fast or slow you are, or how short or long your replies. Just so long as you give me the same enthusiasm, I'm happy. Want to write? Like a starter call. I throw those out fairly often.

Luke is Bisexual with a preference for the ladies. I ship chemistry and whatever floats our boats. Don't push for a ship, you won't get it. I like plotting things out if you want to ship.

Yeah idk just have fun and don't be a total dick. I'm pretty easy to chat with just send a message and don't be a creep.

What about Luke? I still imagine him as an Special Agent from the 80s and this would absolutely be his fit. Of course all black 😎 This is really my all time favourite AU 🤩 still thinking about writing a fanfiction myself 🤔😅

Got someone talking about how you're wrong actually about the fact that Luke would totally try to murder his nephew Because Luke would definitely attempts to kill a family member if they presented a threat to people he loves..

Because he did it against Vad.er in R.OTJ. -- this is a paraphrase and not how this person said it but I'm not gonna link their post cause I'm not trying to @ them or anything u know.

And I need to rant because that has to be the worst read of a scene that I have ever had to see. We literally see the fallout of Luke willing to kill Vad.er in that moment as being the thing that is going to drive him to the dark side. It is a moment that he immediately pulls back from when Palp.a.tine starts laughing. Because he sees that he's going overkill on his father who at that point in time has already lost. He's lost he's about to die if Luke continues.

So let's say that we take the sequel trilogy movie and state that the Ben scene is another weak point for Luke. I could totally be on the side of that if and this is a big if if the scene had shown me there was any actual evidence that this child, this teenager, was at any point actively about to cause hurt anyone.

At this point we are to assume that Luke has been a Je.di for the last like 15 years. He is creating his own order, he is the head of his own order. So that means that we would assume that he is actually even more in control of himself than he would have been in RO.TJ. I do not care how much you think that part of the film was in character, because it wasn't. Not because I don't think it can happen, but because of the way that it happened it doesn't make any sense. At the point in which Luke considers killing his nephew, Ben is not doing anything, he is sleeping. That is not just a moment of weakness, It's also cowardice. It's also stating that Luke and his moments of weakness was thinking of killing his nephew in his sleep Because he was afraid of the possibility of this child becoming like his father.

The father that he went out of his way to try and save despite the fact that this man was a genocidal murderer. He had been a si.th for more than 20 years at that point, he was literally everyone's worst nightmare. He did not care about the fact that he was everyone's worth nightmare In fact he relished in it. And Luke comes out of the woodworks and says I'm going to drag the tiniest bit of his goodness and make sure that I hold on to it. And you're going to tell me that you think that it is in character that Luke would have a moment of weakness So egregious that he would stand over his nephew with a ligh.tsa.ber and consider killing him in the night while he's asleep while there's no threat All because of the possibility that there is a intense darkness in him even though Luke tried to drag it out of V.ad.er and succeeded.

Like I need to point that out he succeeded in dragging it out of V.ad.er.

Therefore the scene in the sequel trilogy and the reasoning for everything that occurs, is 100% a mischaracterization Not because I don't think that he couldn't have that moment of weakness but because the setup doesn't make any sense. I'm not out here saying that Luke is a character without fault, because he needs to be to be interesting. I think that there is totally a point at which he can have this moment of weakness, but In this point all it does is come off as being Oh hey I am here to make your character seem like an asshole. You think you know who this character is, actually he tried to murder his teenage nephew and that's why his teenage nephew turn to the d.ark si.de.

I could be misremembering some stuff cause I refuse to watch that film again but no. You can like the movie you can think his characterization is correct all you want but you shan't ever convince me.

why is it impossible to find good han & luke fics. like im not talking skysolo fics but those are also a needle and a haystack and often ooc af, but just FRIEND FICs. and im not gonna even talk about how hard it is to find trio fics because they may as well be nonexistent.

[wontfailyou]

Like this for a starter. I'll send a message if need be.

[wontfailyou]

There's something in the tags about how Luke planned to die with an.akin and I feel like that's a fundamental misunderstanding of the character and everything in Ro..tJ. You can have your opinions. I don't think they fit.

I need a Leia to be besties with.
