A small seaside town by the name of Levi’s Cove.

But the town is only half the story—her true inspiration will come from its inhabitants and the mystery surrounding their peculiar way of life.

So, the last time I did a run of Wave Shimmer, there were no extra copies after pre-orders to throw for raffle. I made sure to reserve one slot for pre-orders this time around, though- so here it is! Wave Shimmer will not be reprinted for quite some time- so if you didn’t buy one already, there’s two in the AH and one for raffle left.

To enter, just reblog with your username and ID. You don’t need to be following me.

Hello Flight Rising! Taylor the latte-coatl here, ready to show off my new coffee shop situated right in the Reedcleft Ascent! I’m opening it with a great event, The Flight Rising Coffee Crawl, and for it I am featuring 2 drinks for each Flight (and telling you how to make them, but keep it quiet— trade secrets, y’know?) 

For each flight (listed below) I have compiled 2 drinks. 1 coffee beverage and also a non-coffee cafe beverage for those of you who might not like coffee. I hope you find it interest and informative! Please note that these are my personal opinions and that not all may agree with my selections.

For those of you who may not be caught up with coffeeshop lingo, here are a few key terms:

Latte: a shot (or 2) of espresso with steamed milk

Cappuccino: 1/3 espresso, 1/3 steamed milk, 1/3 foam (on top) Mocha: latte w/ chocolate Chai latte: can either be made using a tea concentrate or a powder. I prefer powder, personally, since the texture is more silky and foamy. Mixed into steamed milk. Steamer: steamed milk

FLIGHT DRINKS

—————————————————————————————————————————-

Am I the only one losing my mind over this exchange?? Vader is mostly portrayed by Imperial propoganda as a kind of extension of the Emperor’s will, a benevolent force of justice (a watchful protector, a dark knight) but I mean he’s technically a founding father of the Empire. After all, no one but the audience knows he can barely string together a sentence when it comes to political ideology. 

But Tagge just called him an asset. The same as an inanimate object (though, to be fair, one that could kill a planet). Its degrading, almost dehumanizing. 

AND THEN HE DOES THIS: 

whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat??? I get the vibe here that Tagge is one of those people who thinks Vader is an extremely advanced droid of some kind, even though he saw Vader choke out Motti on the Death Star

but like— this is the Supreme Commander of the Imperial Forces!!! Is everyone in the Empire just kind of fed-up with Vader being this random paramilitary wildcard who doesn’t have a real, specific title and rank but can kill any one of them with no repercussions?? 

HOW ARE YOU TALKING TO HIM LIKE THIS??? 

but then: 

Its like Tagge is talking to the world’s most dangerous and murderous child assassin??? What???? BUT THEN

I’M LOSING MY MIND! I’M LOSING MY MIND! I’M FREAKING OUT!!!!!

is anyone getting a serious Winter Soldier vibe here?? Just how much agency does Tagge (or any Imperial) think Vader has? I think this comic is confirming that people know Palpatine is the architect and Vader is the enforcer, but Tagge is talking to him more like a talking dog than a general and strategist

The worst part (ie, the part that makes me entire soul hurt) is that Vader may or may not feel the same way about himself??? Like obviously Tagge is gonna fucking get it in some later issue, but Vader responds to the situation by saying “Tagge commands me, its is as the Emperor wills” like he’s used to the idea that he has a master who can lend him out whenever he want like a fucking spare hammer 

Indeed, it’s only after seeing Obi-Wan again, and meeting Luke (not yet knowing his importance, except that Obi-Wan took an interest in him), that we see him regain any kind of subversive spirit. And I’m sure we’ll see him regain more and more of it as the pieces of the puzzle start to fit together.

Oh god, oh fucking god, Anakin is so damn broken, jesus fuck someone rescue him now, we can’t wait for Luke.
