this summer let’s make “founded an aquarium together” AUs as ubiquitous as high schools and coffee shops

literally every combination of characters can be examined through the lens of trying to catch a really slippery escaped seal

you know that post about characters that try to solve every narrative challenge with a self-sacrificing suicide. well what's great about ilya is that he's not even in a genre where that's a reasonable solution. like it makes sense in buffy. it does not make sense in hockey games. but does he let that stop him?? no he has the CONVICTION of his beliefs. ilya captain voice alright boys listen up i know we're down by 2 but we can still win this cup. if i disembowel myself on the ice-- (the entire team groans in unison)

haha that's a nice starry-eyed ambition you've got there buddy. sure hope the narrative doesn't warp it into something ruthless and all-consuming

Star Wars fandom will tell you that Anidala destroyed a millennia old galactic state by having lots of sex and expects you be anything but impressed.

#alternately: DAMN how weak is the millennia old galactic state that just a couple of young adults having sex could bring it down?! (my tags because i stand by them)

darth vader, age 23, unsure how to make friends now that his old ones are mostly dead, falls back on the one trick he knows is guaranteed to get social approval: stealing fruit with the force. a roomful of imperial officers watch in terror and moderate annoyance as their snacks float away just as they were about to take a bite. when this fails to get universal acclaim, the weird guy who may or may not be their boss (no one is sure what his job is) crushes all the space pears in a fit of rage, then storms out and crashes a ship to calm down

sad there’s no force ghost padme because imagine the haterism. her and force ghost obi-wan sitting together in awkward silence in the afterlife not talking to each other because with her last breath she told him anakin could be saved and during that entire conversation he was nodding along “listening” while knowingly letting that boy cook the entire time…i just know she was mad

in canon you get like special force knowledge when you become a ghost. so like. can you fucking imagine her dying and like 0 seconds later waking up and immediately knowing what was going down that entire conversation LFMAO
