Don’t think about Obi-Wan Kenobi humming Jedi songs of mourning under his breath as he heads to Polis Massa to rendezvous with Yoda and Bail, mourning his brother in all but blood, mourning him in more ways than any one person could count. His brother his friend his son his whole world for an entire ten years his brother in arms his hope for himself and his people is shattered

Obi-Wan singing quietly in the delivery room after Padmé dies, begging the Force for answers, why did she have to go why was it her time why didn’t she tell me did her and Anakin not trust me was this always my fault???

Obi-Wan’s voice finally cracking as he holds the twins together in his arms, the final time he will see them together as children, whispering songs of hope and healing into their soft hair they could have grown up in the Temple they are as strong as their father they need more than I can give them that can’t be given anything more than this why is separation the best option they will never know peace as long as the empire reigns but oh Force what can two Jedi do to stop what an entire Temple could not?

Ben humming for the first time in a decade as he rescues Leia to soothe her to sleep on their way back to Alderaan, finally safe and sound is this to soothe him after having to fight the thing that wears Anakin’s face and speaks with his voice or to comfort a traumatized child welcome home welcome home

Ben singing to Maul after he dies a tragic and wandering soul, forever haunted by a path he never asked to take he joins the Force he is whole at last welcome home welcome home

Old Ben whispering pleasant nonsense while aboard the Millennium Falcon, Han thinks it’s because he’s a crazy desert hermit, but Luke is entranced and can’t explain why the language is Dai Bendu the language of the Jedi the language of the Light the language of the Force the language of his people welcome home welcome home welcome home

Old Ben hears the Force singing aboard the Death Star as he faces Vader one last time, he sees the twins reunited at last, he knows it is his Time

Weep for yourself, my man You’ll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man You’re not as brave as you were at the start

someone sent me an anon ask about rocky meeting eva and i tried to post it not once but twice and tumblr ate it both times so now im just regular posting it here

i think ryland would grow to understand stratt’s choice with time, and even thank her logic of it because it led to his meeting of rocky, but i dont think he’d ever really forgive her for what she did to him

(Ryland had to prep rocky before they touched down to meet Stratt so he wouldnt charge her at first sight)

the teachers salary is ONE reason he doesnt have a car, sure, but even if he had the money, he would chicken out and keep riding the bike and citing traffic & exercise as reasons. there is one time he and some other teachers are chaperoning a field trip or w/e and he has to drive a van full of kids from point A to point B for some reason. it wasnt planned and he almost has a panic attack because he hasnt sat in the drivers seat for like a decade, but when they asked whether he had a drivers license he said yes because its true. but also he probably shouldnt have one. someone should probably take it away.

everything turned out fine and nobody was injured. except the kids could totally tell he was freaking out the entire time and ALSO, two of them heard him hyping himself up in the bathroom right until they were meant to leave. needless to say, they are merciless about it (because they know hes cool and will go with the bit). none of them will ever let him forget "youre a regular guy you can drive a car. youre a regular guy you know how to navigate traffic. youre a regular guy you can merge lanes". some particularly funny kid gets him one of those "please be patient - student driver" bumper stickers for his birthday. and whoever is running the schools most popular meme account is photoshopping him into the background of fast & furious scenes saying stuff like "guys cant we just bike there?" and "uh the engine is making this weird humming noise are we sure this is normal?" and "mr toretto i think we should stay at least 5mph under the speed limit just to be safe"

if they hadnt shot him into space, he wouldve gotten his license revoked at 46 on some technicality and his students would have congratulated him on the successful transition (into being the non-license holder he always was at heart). maybe its some underlying diagnosis (adhd), maybe his spacial thinking isnt that great, maybe he just sucks ass at operating a motorized vehicle. AND some part of him probably believes any machinery with more than 2 horse power is only meant to be operated by trained professionals, like trains and planes and cranes and forklifts. its kind of insane that they let just let anyone (including him) get their hands on a go-fast explody-machine with minimal supervision!

A crescent Earth sets behind the Moon.

On April 6, 2026, the Artemis II astronauts flew around the Moon, observing the far side – which we never see on Earth thanks to tidal locking – with their own eyes and with cameras.

Last I checked the uk petition to repeal this law hit the 100k milestone so they'll have to discuss in parliament. Keep signing/sharing to bring that number up higher.
