Please Bother Me. It Will Make Me Feel Better About Bothering Others.

"Not good with words!" Thyme says as they run me through the gut with ANGST

WHY DOES LAYTON BRING LUKE EVERYWHERE AND NOT FLORA?? it’s not even something like “oh it’s cause lukes so insistent” CAUSE FLORA IS, TOO!! AND SHES STILL LEFT BEHIND.

They had to kill Owen and beru off early because if they found out that anakin became vader they would have beaten the shit out of him and ended the trilogy in 40 minutes

Hnnnnnnnnnnnn my heart 😭😭😭

You write so lovely ❤️

yes there's a lot of things to criticize about Star Wars but one thing i will always love it for is being so unabashedly tragic

i'm sure it's been said before, but one of the main things i think powers the SW fandom (fics in particular) is the (in)evitability of it all

time travel fix-its are one of the most popular sub-categories of fics that i've seen (for the prequels at least) but i see it much more rarely in other fandoms. i know each fandom has their own niches that they dig into but star wars fic writers took one look at this decades long story of people who were doomed from the start and said 'not in my house bitch'

and i'm never tired of it, because there's so many places where just one different action could have changed the story entirely, but didn't

was it over the moment Palpatine succeeded in feeding Anakin's fears and his distrust toward the Jedi? the moment the Sith gained control of the senate? what about when the war started, when the Jedi were made generals of men designed to be their executioners? what about when Dooku left the order? when Qui-Gon Jinn died, leaving barely-knighted Obi Wan Kenobi to raise a child he had no idea how to care for? when the Jedi massacred the Mandalorians at Galidraan, leaving Jango Fett primed (hah) for revenge? when Palpatine, and thus the Sith, first gained influence? when the Jedi were tied to the Republic, all the way back at the Ruusan Reformation?

there are so many little moments that turn into this huge web of cause and effect when you take a step back. and in canon, these characters are dooming themselves while we watch, but what reason do they have to do anything different? they don't know they're in a tragedy - its dramatic irony at its goddamn finest

but there's this thing about decisions: for it to be a choice, there has to be another option. and our heroes make their mistakes because that's what they do, while we aren't privy to that other option, leaving that little what-if. it's a favorite human pastime, to think about what might have been.

we start at episode 4, though, fourty or so years after what you could arguably call the start, and find ourselves watching the dominoes fall in place throughout 1, 2, and 3.

and we can hate the choices, hate the tragedy, hate what happened to our beloved characters, but we knew. we had the luxury of knowing.

it's a love story, it's political intrique, it's sci-fi at its finest, and they were dead from the start.

Regarding the Funtime Blueprints

I saw the blueprints first with the understanding of what the intention was, but if you did not have context, what would it look like to you? I'm really struggling to figure out my own, so I wanted to see what others thought.

I hope all the fucks were funny as intended and not aggressive sounding.

Y'all I just caught up with this on Ao3 and it is sooooooo good. The art is just as fantastic as these panals. PLEASE check it out if you like Star Wars, even if it is just a passing interest.

Anakin's corruption to the Dark Side.

These are some text-free panels from my comic-format fanfiction! [You can read it on AO3!]

the emotion i just experienced is kind of indescribable

I love your brain

If anyone could do that one audio of "today a twelve year old tried to fight me" with Oswald and Pitbonnie that would be great, thanks. I could do it, but I don't think I could do it justice
