the last line of this post got me thinking about dnd-ifying tortall (i know about the tortall rpg but here im thinking specifically about dungeons and dragons 5e)

Kel is certainly a paladin. Aly is a rogue no question. Daine is probably a wildshape druid with some sort of archery feat/outlander background.

Alanna is giving me trouble, though. She's both a fighter and a mage, and very adept at both. I guess in order, her fighting improvement happens before spellcasting improvement. It's feeling very cleric, but that's certainly not the type of character Alanna is. The descriptions of her magic, though, are pretty close to sorcerer, but that doesn't seem right either.

Any ideas?

#that also leaves the question of Jon #Neal would be the same as Alanna but in reverse order #George is a rogue #Numair is a wizard #but i could be persuaded toward sorcerer #Raoul has to be a paladin too huh #or just a top-tier fighter with a giantslaying feat #Buri is a fighter with likely cavalier subclass #i will propose that Thayet is a bard #idkwtf nawat is lol #and for the villains #Roger is a sorcerer i think?#ozorne becomes a warlock #blayce is an artificer/necromancer #and the rittevons are npcs lol #tortall #dnd

honestly as much as I bitch about TLJ specifically, I lowkey think the sequel trilogy was doomed no matter who tried to make them because they were made in Hollywood's peak "absolutely nothing we ever make can be sincere!" era, which is antithetical to how George Lucas approached making Star Wars.

One of the most interesting things about Star Wars has always been how absolutely sincere it was about its themes and message and everything that happens in the movies. Even if it's ridiculous, even if it's objectively silly, nothing is ever really treated as such within the movies themselves. A naive farmboy genuinely does have the skill to take down a planet killing weapon. A slave boy from a backwater planet really does have a key part to play in the fall of the Jedi. A group of three foot high killer teddy bears are treated as serious opponents to Imperial forces. Jar-Jar Binks gets to be a Senator with an instrumental, if small, part to play in the story of the prequels. Everything has its place and every part of the story is treated with equal sincerity.

But nearly everything made in the 2010s always had to be funny or meta or self-aware or subversive or self-depreciating about its message and the genre it occupied. There was always a twist. There was always a "I'm more clever than my audience" or "I know this is dumb, but watch it anyway" vibe being brought to the table. Everything always had to take at least one cheap shot at people who wanted to take a piece of media seriously and sincerely treat it as a story whose creators had something to say.

And meanwhile George Lucas was always just like "I have a story, and I want to tell that story. I don't care if people like it or don't like it. My themes are my themes, my message is my message, and you can just die mad about it if you think it's too naive or sincere."

Any world that is fundamentally built on sincerity and genuine belief in a core set of messages cannot maintain integrity when people who do not wholeheartedly believe in the sincerity of that world's message are put in charge of it. The lack of belief will always shine through. The lack of understanding will pervade every inch of the new entry. The sheepish embarassment of "I know this is dumb guys, but watch it anyway because I'm going to do something ~different~!" will always be the audience's takeaway over anything else the creative team tries to say. Because instead of just making a good movie that both logically follows the other ones and actually adds further depth to the existing themes, they're embarassed to even be trying.

Even apart from the utter lack of planning and the mess of executive meddling that went into the sequels...is it any wonder we got the end result we did when no one involved in the creative process actually genuinely, wholeheartedly believed in George Lucas's message and the story they were telling?

#which...honestly also explains why Rogue One is the best Disney-era Star Wars movie #because it's the only one that actually captures that same genuine‚ unironic love of the genre #and a wholehearted sincerity of the franchise's messaging #star wars #george lucas #jj abrams #rian johnson

“The Blacks are on the same level as the Greens.”

“There are no sides to choose, they are all equally bad.”

“I’m the people’s team, but says mostly pro-green things.”

“I'm team Greens because they care about the people !”

Besides I note that out of 4 crimes out of 2 really counts in my eyes.

Blood and Cheese was a response to the murder of Lucerys, caused by the Greens, and the taxes were the fault of (well get that !) again the Greens who had emptied all the coffers !

Which means that only crimes number 2 and 3 are real crimes for me. And I don't know about you, but they always seem less serious than those of the Greens.

Actually I take back what I said in the tags of that “what would fix your blorbo” poll. 10,000,000 USD, in specifically that form, would potentially fix Horatio Hornblower. Untold riches in United States money, unaccountably delivered to a Royal Navy captain? What could it possibly be but the price of treason? They’d hang him for certain. And he’s always so angsty when people don’t hang him. He wants so badly to be punished for things nobody else thinks are that bad. Maybe if they executed him as the result of an anachronistically phrased Tumblr poll, maybe then he’d finally be happy.

#alternatively he could in fact defect to the Americans #he considers doing this in an uncollected short story (by csf - not fic!) for Absolutely No Reason At All #he’s captaining King George’s yacht and they see an American ship and he has this intrusive thought or something #to the effect of ‘I could just give them the King. They probably wouldn’t execute him and the war would end’#he thinks about it for a minute and then doesn’t #I think forester retconned it for timeline reasons or something #but to me it is peak hornblower. so maybe THAT would fix him. I do want him to go rogue so badly #hornblower

Do you know the "Zatochi" technique introduced in Star Wars : Ahsoka, is inspired by a blind swordsman from a classic Japanese film called Zatoichi?

In episode 3 of Ahsoka, Ahsoka trained Sabine Wren in the "Zatochi" technique to rely on senses beyond sight, which is similar to Zatoichi who defeated his enemies with his sword even when he is blind.

The technique is used by Kanan Jarrus when he was blinded by the former Sith Lord, Maul in Star Wars Rebels, by Chirrut Îmwe in Rogue One and later by Obi Wan to teach Luke in A New Hope.

It highlights the significance in the franchise's canon and honour George Lucas original inspirations from classic Japanese Samurai films, which continues to influence the Star Wars Universe.

boomerang momenT boomerang moment

Here's a fun fact for you. boomEr got the nickname "digger" during his QUite short stint in prison whEn he waS younger, because he legiTImately attempted tO do that tv cliché of burrowiNg through the wall using a spoon (which obviously failed immediaTely). HE didn't fully go by it until he stArted liviNg in gotham, where it took a more Self-deprecating meaning. before that, he usually WEnt by his fiRst name, but now he's completely switched over to digger

he doesn't like to be referred to by his first name
