I love all mah spiky sons

I love that every rocky design is either James Ortiz or a beautiful brown skinned man like yeah idk how you did it but That's Him

You have to wonder what Vader’s endgame is in Jedi… or maybe he was in a damned if you do, damned if you don’t situation. Luke kills the Emperor, Luke becomes the Emperor’s possession and Vader loses his son. Luke defeats Vader, he becomes Vader’s apprentice and Vader dies to either Luke or Palpatine. Vader defeats Luke, Luke is dead. I don’t think the last option was ever really on the table, which explains why how easy he is on Luke and instead focuses on making him angry. I’ve headcanon’d in the past that Vader was trying to goad Luke just enough to get him to turn and then they can focus on Palpatine but I just don’t think they could successfully take him, with the little training Luke has and Vader’s suit being so susceptible to lightning shenanigans. The irony behind this is Luke also believed he was on his own suicide run. They are both battling for the other’s soul, anticipating their own death.

project hail mary really came in and said hey fuck the idea that romantic love is inherently better than platonic love. rocky and ryland love each other— completely platonically btw— yet they still saved the world

Whumping Ryland Grace is the greatest thing because you get to explore Grace's fear of dying and Rocky's trauma around watching his friends die, all at the same time!
