i think good conversationalists are genuinely impressive and a fulfill a vital role in party compositions. i tend to use a more defense oriented listener build myself in less familiar situations though it is not as helpful to the group in scenarios where high dps is needed
here’s a hot take: giftwrap is dumb, 95% of the time you can just hand someone the thing and accomplish the same task. Society has conditioned us to love wrapping shit up for no reason, probably by gift wrap industry people.
anyone else seeing weird mysterious failures on Tumblr
ITS THIS THING TUESDAY
thinking about the hardeen arc in clone wars again and could you imagine if it happened after Maul came back. like just think of the absolute galaxy-ending shit fit he would throw upon finding out that some random sniper killed Kenobi and not him
Ah yes, cheese. The feeling of betrayal.
Concept (That I Will Write Someday): Shmi Skywalker is the Chosen One. But she works out her destiny not for the sake of the Republic but because DARN IT ALL there's going to be a war and this is not why she sent her son away with the Jedi! Cue Shmi and the Lars fam wreaking havoc on all of Palpatine's plans while they go after Anakin, following the guidance of Ar-Amu, an eldritch Force being who took a liking for both Tatooine and Shmi and who has no concept of a normal sentient interaction.
Featuring:
Ar-Amu terrifying everyone except Shmi and the Lars, who are used to her
A clone revolution on Kamino, led by Shmi
The subsequent kidnapping/adoption of Obi-Wan and Jango from Kamino
Anakin definitely having dreams about his amu but he has NO IDEA WHAT THE KRIFF THEY'RE ABOUT
Padme and Anakin causing problems for everyone by running off, getting married, and joining Hondo's pirate crew by accident
Shmi marching up to the Jedi Temple wanting to see her son
The Council, knowing that neither Anakin nor Obi-Wan are in the Temple, desperately paging every Jedi close to Anakin to go Deal With This
However, every Jedi close to Anakin is also the exact kind of Jedi who would immediately join Shmi's revolution
The Temple steps are getting kind of crowded
The Clone Wars are kind of over but no one knows what to do
Ar-Amu giving Dark Siders unintentional heart attacks (my sister's idea)
Palpatine having a bad day that lasts many months
Dooku being confused
Ventress getting adopted by more clone troopers
Everybody Lives/Nobody Dies (Except Probably Palpatine)
Shmi just wants to See Her Boy
Owen, Beru, and Cliegg have never met Anakin but darn it all if they're not ride or die for their step-family member anyway
