How I spent my July 4th.

At the start I thought stitching “fuck you I won’t do what you tell me” for the last quarter would be therapeutic

I was correct.

I have one more line of embroidery and I think it needs to be bolder and messier than I started it.

Hard to tell in this light, and without ironing it, that the embroidery does get gradually bolder as it goes. Two strands at the top versus 5 at the bottom (6 for the started to be redone final line).

Not bad for first time doing appliqué.

the house:

I raise you this: an au where Obi-wan is sent back during the beginning of TCW and is convinced it is all an illusion and all of the Jedi are actually just Palpatine being a bitch ass motherfucker and pretending to be them and chose this specific illusion because he wants to make Obi-wan suffer through seeing all their deaths again.

Now, if he had more time and didn’t meet a replica of how he looked during the clone wars he might’ve been more open to the time travel idea HOWEVER seeing past!obi-wan just makes Ben believe more in the illusion theory because of course Palpatine would masquerade as him to piss him off of course >:(

Now the people in the infirmary are trying to find some sort of explanation for all this so when one of them asks Ben what he thinks is going on and he just says something like “you’re Sith trying to get into my head obviously” they are very confused.

Keep in mind it is the beginning parts of the war so all of the people in the room and stressed, sleep deprived, and very much not sure what to do with this situation. So they convene in another room and try to put together some dots.

1) the guy in the infirmary is by all appearances (scars, age, and attitude) a duplicate of Obi-wan and Kamino exists

2) he thinks they are Sith and wouldn’t believe otherwise when they tried to prove it.

3) he is politely hostile towards them especially Obi-wan and claims to be him.

4) his shields are rock solid and they can’t read him in the force or check his force signature

They look at all these facts and come to the conclusion: Someone cloned Obi-wan and brainwashed the clone to think the Jedi are actually Sith and need to be eliminated.

Naturally, that conclusion is strengthened when the Ben manages to overpower his guards and get away without a trace. It also brings up worries about the Clones and how they might be used against them/how they were treated on Kamino. So there is that at least. (Mace Windu wants to throw himself out a window due to all the shatter points that just spawned into existence and got broken within the span of a couple days)

-what if this bad thing was good instead

-how about Make-Believe Land can have whatever I want

-would that be fucked up or what

All those "spend just 35 minutes doing a bunch of really hard exercises and you'll feel great forever!" videos are really discouraging. I usually end up doing like, 2 minutes of some of his while waiting for my shower to heat up, and ykw?
