—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

-- 'One Art' by Elizabeth Bishop

you ever think about how after everything Ahsoka told Vader "I'm not leaving you" and it wasn't enough

You work as tech support for ancient supernatural beings who are trying to adapt to the modern world. It’s a frustrating - and at times dangerous - job, but at least your clients pay well.

here’s the thing about adulthood-

you will go for like three months with nothing happening and you’re bored as hell and then in the span of two weeks eight different things happen at once - some fantastic and some shitty and some just plain bonkers - and you’re just running around like a chicken with your head cut off and no clue what the fuck is going on

I know the other Mandalorian kids like 'why can't we come on missions it's not fair why does Grogu get to go he's only a baby' and their parents are like 'because Grogu's dad is a fucking idiot'

i need feminism because when jesus does a magic trick it’s a goddamn miracle but when a woman does a magic trick she gets burned at the stake

it’s not “am I good enough to do it?”, it’s “do I like it enough to be bad at it?”

Headcanon you will pry from my cold dead hands:  Because the Jedi Temple was built over thousands of years, it’s massive and there are huge portions of it that periodically go unused, so much so that younglings (and many young Padawans) of every generation make a game out of “who can go the deepest into the Temple, using only the Force as your guide, and not get lost”, in order to help them learn to trust the Force to guide them.  The winner get the group’s extra slices of Galdeenian spice cake for desert.  Anyone who gets lost has to experience the mortifying ordeal of calling a Master to come pick them up and getting to feel the amusement at their expense while they walk them back to the creche.

why the FUCK are weekends only 2 days long do you really think that's enough to recover from the horrors of the work week. really.

Some of my favorite magic side effects:

-Nosebleeds. Never gets old.

-Coughing up blood. The good ol’ “cough into your hand and pull it back to see blood” also never gets old.

-Headaches. You keep fighting as your head pounds, desperately telling you to take a break. At first they fade within minutes when you stop using magic, but overtime, they become chronic.

-Fatigue. After a big battle, you stand triumphant, and then just fall asleep on the spot.

-In a similar vein, overuse causing you to straight up faint rather than just fall asleep. Darkness begins to overtake your vision in the middle of battle, unconsciousness abruptly looming over you.

-Any of the side effects happening to another person. Maybe two close characters are connected, and whatever side effects character A would normally endure are transferred to character B. When A uses a blast of magic B screams loudly because holy shit that hurt.

-Magic gradually deteriorating your mind. Using it too much eventually caused hallucinations and an inability to retain memories, or even larger scale memory loss. 

Feel free to add more, I’m looking for some to steal

I am reading "Heir to the Empire," and it has a passage about how Luke could never jump THAT far, because five stories was TOO MUCH, even for a JEDI! And I stopped mid passage to think of your post with all the Jedi jumping off various things, and I laughed. :)

LOL, okay, was he trying to jump OFF something or jump OVER something because I love BOTH IDEAS A LOT. JUMP OFF SOMETHING:  I just love the idea that Luke has no idea to what ACTUAL LEVEL OF EXTRA AS FUCK the Jedi Order really got up to when it came to just flinging themselves off something. I mean, LOOK AT THIS SHIT:

”CAN’T JUMP FIVE STORIES” IS AMATEUR HOUR TO THE EXTRA AF JEDI ORDER OR IF THEY’RE JUMPING OVER SOMETHING:  Just--just the image of Jedi playing the galaxy’s most over the top version of leap-frog. Jedi younglings--and lbr a few Knights and at least half of the Jedi Masters--SPROINGING ACROSS THE JEDI TEMPLE GARDENS OR ACROSS CORUSCANT TRAFFIC. That’s why that Dug from Attack of the Clones is like, “Jedi poodoo!” when Obi-Wan and Anakin go flying by, because HE HAS SEEN ONE TOO MANY JEDI PLAYING FORCE LEAP FROG AND ASSUMES THAT’S WHAT THIS IS MORE OF.

What’s really funny is when they don’t just do leaps and bounds for themselves in Force Leap Frog BUT WHEN THEY START GIVING EACH OTHER A PUSH IMAGINE OBI-WAN AND ANAKIN PLAYING FORCE LEAP FROG HOW GODDAMNED EXTRA THEY WOULD BE ABOUT IT

THAT IS CLEARLY A PRACTICED MOVE  THAT WASN’T THEIR FIRST TIME THEY DON’T EVEN DISCUSS IT OBI-WAN JUST SAYS “I’LL GIVE YOU A PUSH” AND ANAKIN IMMEDIATELY KNOWS EXACTLY WHAT HE MEANS ERGO:  OBI-WAN AND ANAKIN HAD DONE THAT MOVE BEFORE AND IT WAS WHEN THEY WERE DECIMATING THEIR OPPONENTS IN THE TEMPLE WIDE GAME OF FORCE LEAP FROG ANYWAY FORCE LEAP FROG IS CANON BECAUSE I SAID SO AND BECAUSE IT’S HILARIOUS

I will always remember Christopher Lee as that horrifying moment in the LOTR commentaries where Peter Jackson says he started to direct him on how to act like he’d been stabbed and Christopher Lee goes “no no peter dear, when someone is stabbed like this, THIS is how they look, they don’t make a sound, air just leaves them all at once” and peter jackson remembers in that moment that lee was in the secret service and just slowly backs away.

I think I found my new favorite rabbit hole. This voice actor does Shakespeare scenes in a southern accent and I need to see the whole damn play. Absolutely beautiful

WHAT IF ANAKIN NEVER REMOVED REX FROM THE SYSTEM AFTER ORDER 66

Like, Anakin might not know that Rex defected. He promoted Appo but technically Appo’s still second in command of the 501st, under Rex (Rex is still listed as a Captain because Anakin is really really fucking awful at paperwork). And then when Rex doesn’t show up, the obvious conclusion is that he’s dead, but Anakin still doesn’t let him get listed as MIA or KIA because that’s HIS CAPTAIN, dammit, and he’s lost Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan, and literally everything else he ever cared about, he doesn’t want to face having lost Rex, too. And he works better with Rex than with anyone else (mostly because Rex has become accustomed to his bullshit and is Very Good at taking Anakin’s spectacularly stupid nonsense and Making It Work), and really he can’t picture leading the 501st with anyone OTHER than Rex at his side.

And then Rex keeps not coming back. But Vader still doesn’t remove him from the system. For years and years. And eventually everyone stops mentioning it to him because they tend to get force-murdered if they do. 

So long story short, Rebels-era Rex is technically the commanding officer of Vader’s Fist, and the system still recognizes his codes and lets him in, and technically if he walked up to any stormtrooper while wearing his old helmet, the networks would recognize him and tell the stormtrooper that’s your CO. So if Rex realized this, he could just waltz in and take control of the most feared stormtrooper legion in the galaxy and as long as Vader wasn’t around, no one would stop him (they’d all be very confused, but they wouldn’t stop him). And maybe vader walks up at this point like “what the hell is going on here” and sees Rex and is just like “REX there you are where the FUCK have you been?” and Rex is like “uuuhhhh i had engine trouble on the way back from Mandalore” and it’s been 20 years but Vader knows how shitty Rex is at piloting and really anything involving flying and ships so he’s like “sounds legit”

god gives his hardest battles (making career choices in current economic and political climate) to his weakest soliders (20-sth year olds who wanna spend the whole day browsing pinterest instead)
