To celebrate the success of the first few days of the kickstarter campaign, the WBN team posted Chapter 1!! 🌻

🚨 A new episode of Adventuring Academy is out now on Dropout!

I've had that feeling from D&D games as I like wait in line at the bank. I brought an entire city crashing into Domunas. Why am I in the line? This is so fucked up.

KOSA IS MOVING FORWARD IN THE HOUSE!

It's part of a package called the KIDS Act, filled with digital ID and age verification and censorship!

MAKE THOSE PHONES RING!! CALL YOUR HOUSE REPRESENTATIVES ALL WEEK

202-224-3121 i HIGHLY encourage everyone to read the bills in the KIDS Act, because you will be doing more than 95% of people who read and introduce these bills

Something that disney, legends, and fanon, all generally agree on is the idea that force sensitive children are often in danger because of their force sensitivity. Some take it further with an analogy for neurodivergent kids, since them being weird kids is a recurring theme.

And well. Realistically, over the course of about a thousand years there must have been a few jedi who found a force sensitive child who was in a deeply unsafe situation but their family or guardians had no intention of giving them up for whatever reason. How firm is the parental permission rule in that situation? What if that child is gonna die there?

Laws and systems and rights are finicky things, with often odd histories. I guess, out of all the options available, I can imagine that there was legal framework giving jedi a kind of social service role for force sensitive children and only force sensitive children*, the probably mediocre result of some bit of regulatory legislation that happened at some point, ostensibly there to protect these vulnerable children, that makes it so that technically, if a child passes this standardized test, the jedi can take them away, and that's written in republic law somewhere. Does that law also specify the jedi have to prove unfitness of the guardian? Maybe, maybe not (the republic doesn't seem to have a lot of attention to detail). Does that mean it's actually jedi custom to just go ahead and forcibly take children as a normal thing? Every line of canon dialogue says no. It could be a legal right they have but aren't 100% comfortable with, and are aware it would be unwise to abuse.

*i don't think they could all that easily frankly. Mind tricks take a path of least resistance, actually overriding someone's will is beyond most jedi's power if you take tcw into account.

and then there's andrew. the first love of may's life, and one of coulson's trusted friends. regardless of the issues in their relationship andrew never treated her with anything other than love, compassion, understanding, and total respect. they could've found their way back to each other if he'd had a different story, i do believe it. just as with audrey and rosalind.

there is something deeply significant and worth rooting for with both of coulson's other pairings and with's may's. and something about that makes their love even more special to me.
