Chronic Procrastination

liking a ship but disliking the distinct set of stock fanon that they have been assigned is like one of those punishments dante came up with when he wrote the worldbuilding for hell in inferno

How quickly we forget the dangerous crow boy who’s job it is to destroy plastic

always funny to remember darth vader is anakin skywalker. the adrenaline junkie chucklefuck who used to dive head first out of speeders and built a pod racer in his yard when he was like six is now upper-middle management for the evil empire. half of his appearances in the original trilogy are Meetings. vader spends like 80% of his time dealing with bureaucratic bullshit. status updates. team meetings. holo-Zooms. budget rundowns. anakin betrayed the jedi and caused the fall of the republic and his punishment is being CC'd on every email forever. and you know what. he would hate that. the punishment fits the criminal

The difference between Luke Skywalker single-handedly freeing his friends from Jabba the Hutt’s palace and Luke Skywalker standing on top of the stairs and whispering “I will not fight you, Father” is already a story about how “heroes are actually just people”, we never needed that to be deconstructed further.

I think a lot of people forget that Darth Vader being Luke’s father wasn’t just added for a twist, but as a deconstruction of revenge. It’s so easy to want to kill this monstrous cyborg but what if he was related to you? What then? It doesn’t change anything he’s done but it does sure change your perspective. Star Wars has always been subversive. Luke doesn’t get the girl, he doesn’t defeat the Empire, he doesn’t win against Darth Vader. It wasn’t the Jedi who triumphed in the end. It was the little farmboy who just wanted his father to come home.

#Star Wars#Luke Skywalker#something I love about the throne room scene is that Luke’s victory has NOTHING to do with his force powers#or his lightsaber skills or anything like that#it has everything to do with who he is as a person#(same with Vader’s victory over Palpatine)#everything that happens there is tied to character saving Ranger’s tags @thirddoctor

Like to charge, reblog to cast?

dont store a knife with the point facing down, it damages the blade. no, dont do that either. when you store it with the point facing up you might accidentally hurt yourself when you try to grab it. dont store a knife at all actually. your blade must never leave your hand, always ready, ruthless and waiting. you know deep down that ever since you learned the stench of blood you will never be able to cast it aside. or just get a sheath for it i guess.

weirdest part of being an adult is the fact that you can put off watching a movie for nearly a decade and barely notice
