Star Wars: Episode II sentence starters

    The way he pleaded, the tears that burned at his eyes, and to see him break down...oh how the mighty can fall. This boy...a boy he was angry with was falling to his knees with fear and sadness. It was a perfect time for him for him to claw his way into the Jedi. Taking this Chosen One with him.

    “ If only you had the power... ” his voice was a gentle purr as his golden hues were sharp on his target, “ There are those who are more powerful than we wish to be. ” he looked down at the ground for a moment, rethinking the thought of his brother’s death. How his master took him away from the world. Maul could have done something, but he was not strong enough.

The halls of Castle Ravenloft are shrouded in a deeper darkness. The moon hides behind thick clouds, as if to avert its gaze from the deeds done within these walls. The blood of Ismark Kolyanovich now stains the cold stone floors, his life extinguished like a fragile candle in a tempest.

The brother of Ireena, always so defiant, so hopeful, now lies cold and still. His heart, once filled with the courage to challenge me, now beats no more. His last breaths were whispers of despair, his final thoughts unknown. How poetic that his fate was sealed within the very heart of the darkness he sought to defy.

The adventurers, those misguided souls, are blissfully unaware of the tragedy that has unfolded. They traverse the land, clinging to their fragile hope, not knowing that Ismark's blood is on their hands as much as mine. Their trust, their bond with him, was his undoing. They will come to realize this in time, and the weight of their failure will crush them.

I have placed his lifeless body where they will find it, a grim reminder of the futility of their quest. Let them see the cost of their defiance, let them feel the sting of loss. They will know that I am not to be trifled with, that Barovia is mine and mine alone.

The night grows colder, the silence more profound. My domain remains as it always has, a place where light and hope come to die. The mists whisper tales of the fallen, and Ismark's story will be but one of many. I am Strahd, the eternal lord of this land, and I will not be challenged.

Rest in eternal silence, Ismark. Your struggle has ended, but the nightmare for your friends is just beginning.

With cold finality,

“   i  have  made  many  mistakes  in  my  life ,   but  taking  you  on  wasn’t  one  of  them.   ”

𝐢. pain-in-the-ass extraordinaires

you might be asking yourself: when will hackett ever shut the fuck up about the old republic? never. the answer is never because look: kylo ren would not be skywalker clan during this period, he is kylo ren. but his personality is still very in line with anakin's and just imagine them on opposite sides of a fucking all out war between the sith and the jedi at their peak of galactic power. imagine the shit talking, ren's shit eating grin, and anakin's insult dunks on his towering nemesis.

now, imagine them having to work together to survive. stranded in mutual enemy territory. they're both imprisoned. they have to escape but once they escape they're trapped in some unforgiving wildlands without any way of contacting their respective orders for help. they would be at each other's throats. there would be so much smack flying through the air, dude. it'd be a roast of anakin skywalker and kylo ren with snarkery and plasma.

but being in such close proximity to each other, they're bound to let things slip during quieter times. or since they're probably established enemies, i'm sure they cap on that. ren probably knows about padmé because if they've had run-ins in the past, ren is a thought invading thot and that's shit he'll keep in his pocket. he's not gonna drop an anonymous tip or call out anakin in front of other jedi. he might threaten padmé a little but what he really wants to do is start corrupting anakin who ren KNOWS is not so different from himself gee i wonder why. he's gonna fill anakin's head with all the horrible truths, like how his order will turn on him if they ever find out. how what makes anakin the great warrior that he is would be criminalized by the jedi and that no matter how many victories he claims for the republic, that he could single-handedly defeat the sith order, the jedi will never appreciate him.

but the sith would.

by that same token, anakin starts sussing things out about ren. like, how there is nothing him binding him to the light. nothing to call him to a more compassionate path. there is nothing he cares for other than his pursuit of power and his servitude to tor vallum. nothing can ever stay his hand or make him question his violence.

except for one teensy, weensy little detail that anakin finds out about and it's ren's dyad. it's his soft spot. she's a nobody. some little scavenger orphan who got picked up by the jedi order. and kylo ren is a pedigree son of the sith order and he's probably never had a positive interaction with her. the only talking they do is via the dyad and they just glower at each other and growl. and if they ever meet physically? lightsaber fights. always. nothing else. but that softness is there and he hates it and covets it. anakin is just as conspiratorial as ren. he's not stupid. he'll find out about it somehow and I WANNA KNOW WHAT HE DOES. OKAY? OKAY.

𝐢𝐢. *chums the waters with the blood of ahsoka tano*

i don't have my tcw verse written out but it follows the same lineage that kylo ren is part of in the old republic. and it's a similar deal, he's got an ancient alien in his head who compels him to become the jedi killer.

he starts off as a regular apprentice. a little bit awkward but he's got a sense of humor that mirrors anakin's even if his delivery isn't as snatched. but i imagine the few times anakin interacted with kylo ren, it's nothing that strikes him as unusual.

but then jedi start showing up dead around coruscant. some established jedi are among the victims, but it's mostly apprentices. and there's now real identifiers as to who the culprit. the few witnesses who caught a glimpse of the so-called jedi killer was a creature all in black with a gruesome mask.

so, what would happen if the jedi killer went after snips. he wouldn't be able to kill her, even when he eventually defeats her, i'm sure anakin was already looking for her. and when he finds her. he just sees her covered in wounds, eyes shut, a horrible stillness in her body, and the jedi killer standing over her with his lightsaber raised.

whatcha gonna do, skywalker?

𝐢𝐢𝐢. intense frenemies, like really intense

in terms of any verse, be it in a different star wars era or in a totally different universe be it fantasy, pirates, et. what have you! if they're alive at the same time and ( probably ) not related ( or at least knowingly so ), i can see them as frenemies. like, ready to cut each other in half, sure. but they probably have some fun in finding creative ways to tell the other to go where the sun don't shine.
