Quinlan and Aayla are the original Anakin and Ahsoka. Quinlan being Obi-Wan's age, and Aayla being seven years older than Anakin, Quinlan is only NINE years older than her. Legends Wookieepedia says he took her as his padawan when she was 10, which is patently ridiculous. Even if we age her up to a more new-canon-consistent age, that still gives us 23yo Quinlan and his 14yo padawan. Disaster duo. Terrifying gremlin pair.

Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.
Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L

A headache pulses between his temples as he makes his way back to his room. Which is less of a “room” and more of a cell carved out of a chunk of temple that the warped reality of the place had decided could be semi-permanent. Sometimes.
Surprise! Bet you weren't expecting two posts in the same week, let alone something from an earlier chapter :b As always, go read A Dark Among the Lights by LuckyLectio on AO3!
The room's design was influenced by Ganon's Tower in alttp, featuring a door mimic from the Minish Cap and (a bit obviously) some malice from botw. It was fun adding little details while keeping with the empty vibe I got from the description in the fic. Get this man a bed, not even necessarily to sleep in but just to have somewhere comfy to rest.

reasons to work out that aren't for the way you look🌷🎧🧘🏽♀️🎀
working out has so many benefits, but can quickly become unhealthy if you don’t have the right mindset about moving your body. here’s some reasons to work out that aren’t about changing your body:
to improve your self-discipline
to help your mental health
to make yourself stronger
to sleep better
to feel good
to improve your heart health
to improve your consistency
your body does so much for you, and it deserves to be treated well! you most likely will have heart the phrase “your body is a temple”, but it’s true! move your body in different ways, whether it be walking, pilates, home workouts, running, gym workouts or dance, it will do you good!
if you don’t like exercising, my biggest piece of advice is to try new things! for example, i’ve always been good at 100m sprint, so last summer i decided to try running longer distances. i found it really hard and i didn’t enjoy it, so i was unmotivated to do it. so instead of forcing myself to continue, i found other ways to do my cardio, my favourite being dance, whether it’s a just dance workout or dancing in my room to my favourite songs.
finding something you enjoy doing makes it easier to start exercising and to be consistent! hope this helps <3

OMG !!!!! yes yes i would love to write for him!! you're so right, i think he would be so soft too and just the relationship itself would be too 🥺 so domestic and sweet and just-
yes i think that like no matter where you go or what you do, you'd have a great time bcs its with him. he would always have a way to make you smile and laugh, that's just his nature, and so caring and 😭
