i'd watch six seasons and a spin off movie franchise. who's with me?
actually bouncing off this post:
alternate scenario where the rebels continue to think the whole thing is a wacky coincidence and that Darth Vader has mistaken Luke for his actual long-lost son
decide this is too good an opportunity to pass up, send Luke in as an undercover agent
Luke ''''pretending'''' to be Darth Vader's son and faking going along w Vader's attempts to turn him to the dark side like yeah i love anger & hate let's do this. can you show me how you do that move where you throw people in the air with your brain.
he is secretly feeding information back to the rebellion all the time constantly
a number of Vader's underlings are pretty sure Luke is a rebel spy but everyone is too afraid of Vader to argue with him on it
Vader meanwhile is desperately trying to train Luke while keeping Palpatine from finding out his son is still alive. Luke wanders in while he's mid imperial conference call and gets tackled to the ground.
after a couple of months Vader decides Luke has had enough training for the 'we should kill the emperor and rule the galaxy together' speech
Luke (who has in a weird way kind of got to like Vader at this point) radioing the rebellion like guys call me crazy but i think we might be able to get this guy on side
I love lightsabers and everything they must have come to represent. There must be few things as reassuring as hearing a lightsaber ignite, in the age of the Republic before the Sith made their re-emergence. Just thinking about what Jedi use their lightsabers for. Carve out a passage, illuminate in the darkness, and defend people.
I can imagine a person, terrified, threatened, hiding, unsure of what would happen... small. I imagine this person hearing a lightsaber ignite. The relief. It's going to be okey now. Help is here.
Because few people, if not Jedi, ever use a lightsaber or have the expertise to use it. It's not an accessible weapon, and that makes it reassuring, because it is much more likely the use of it is going to be precise and deliberate. It is much more likely to be used by a person who trained for it and is going to be concious of the danger it represents. Any person can pick up a blaster- doesn't mean they know how not to hit the wrong target.
So yeah, thinking about that. Lightsabers. Tools of defense. Designed to work within the range of a single individual. Holding the heart of kyber to remind the user of the value of life. Characteristic of a culture that is known for their dicipline and desire to serve others.
I love lightsabers.

"Alright, my brothers listen closely
So Jason is defo Lians emergency contact if Roy isnt available
And I'd like to think that the school administration just assumes they're together and just arent married yet
And Lian will do nothing to fight these rumors if anything she encourages them

It's just me, myself and I....
The LBGTQ+ community was misrepresented and demonized to me from the moment I was old enough to comprehend what it was. So what if what it took to make me consider something so foreign to what I had been taught my whole life was a story that featured two fictional characters, whom I already liked and sympathized with and had noticed had a strong relationship with each other, in a romantic setting? Fanfiction is the only thing that gave me information beyond what I was taught growing up, so without it, I'd still be a homophobe. (Although homopath seems like it would be a better term.) So what, do you want me to apologize for this? Not happening.
i do not care if someone learned compassion from a cartoon or a comic or an anime im just glad they're here with us now a better person fighting the good fight. should it have taken something so trivial? maybe not- but it's in the past! and this is the now! and if they're objectively better for it who cares
I need everyone to be aware that I cannot stop thinking abt Cherik. Did I just start college a week ago? Yes. Have I been focused on it? Hell no. I've been thinking abt Charles keeping Shaw still even though he doesn't want Erik to kill him, even though he can feel all the pain, just bc he knows Shaw will kill Erik if he lets go. And Erik yelling for everyone else to back off when Charles gets hurt. And using himself like a seatbelt for Charles when the plane crashes.
So I just found the most useful photo album in existence for tumblr arguments
