Y'all I Just Caught Up With This On Ao3 And It Is Sooooooo Good. The Art Is Just As Fantastic As These

crashing out, holy shit, my heart

Holy fucking shit? Whole hand drawn amv about the unsung parents who did their best to raise the twins.

Did you use the boat system in the Last Specter/Specter's Call?

In honor of the return of my Faith: the Unholy Trinity hyperfixation, I finally reblog the fanart that made me cackle the first (and second, and third) time I saw it. John, my beloved, I don't think that should have been gambled (but they probably wouldn't have accepted anything else)

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.

I'm so unwell about them, thank you

I want these three to meet and inflict chaos among their enemies

Henry and Angela are very proficient, but Dalston's an absolute ARTIST with it. Everyone is very impressed and a little scared.

Since there's been another "Tumblr is gonna die!" scare, let's do a poll...

Rb for larger sample size appreciated :)

Posting an art so I feel like I'm contributing to the void!

You know, when they aren't actively beefing, I think they're pretty good friends!

Has anyone done this yet

Just watched the London special and

NATALIE.

NATALIE WHAT DO YOU MEAN "HE'LL HAVE YOU."

That girl is 14, Natalie. You are not leaving the emotional wellbeing of her boyfriend in her hands. Not unless you want to catch THESE hands.
