gallifrey falls no more

Ya’ll don’t have any idea how fucking brave and needed these plot lines were.

This was before Ellen came out.

This was before civil unions.

This was before Don’t Ask Don’t Tell.

This was when your ass could be fired, blacklisted, and shunned with no legal protections for even being hinted at being gay.

Hey WTN! It’s time to kick off the countdown to our seven year anniversary, we’re bringing back #wtnweek, the aim being to get people seeing other characters, other plots and everything really. If you do all seven prompts (7 prompts, 7 years!) you’ll get a lovely member profile award. Make sure to have your first tags in each post as #wtnrp and #wtnweek so that we can find your posts to reblog them. 

REBLOG THIS POST TO YOUR RP TUMBLR/REGULAR TUMBLR OR START A THREAD TITLED WTNWEEK IN YOUR DEVELOPMENT BY MAY 31ST AND INCLUDE YOUR INTRODUCTION!

#WTNWEEK will take place from June 1st to June 14th. Each prompt will span two days to give you enough time to post and try to post on the days specified.

RP is about partnership and collaboration. We choose to rp in this medium because of the connections we forge, no single character is greater than any interaction. Therefore, when reading the prompts choose character pairings/groups/threads that embody the word or feeling for you (ship, family, friends, group) These can involve you, or not - it is what you find brings you these feelings or defines these words! Below are the lists of prompts if you want to get a head start.

Prompt 1 - happiness (june 1 & 2)

Prompt 2 - pain (june 3 & 4)

Prompt 3 - excitement (june 5 & 6 )

Prompt 4 - sadness (june 7 & 8)

Prompt 5 - relevance (june 9 & 10)

Prompt 6 - innovation (june 11 & 12)

Prompt 7 - comfort (june 13 & 14)

You can do this in any way that you like! It’s really not supposed to take more than ten to fifteen minutes a day, just something fun, just a picture or a quick blurb. If you have any questions, create a ticket in the server!

for the introductions (post when you reblog)

Plus, it has the added value of reinforcing how Palpatine essentially had full control of the Republic long before it formally became the Empire; by the time he declares himself Emperor, the title is little more than a formality. The Petition Of The Two-Thousand is a blacklist that Palpatine can use in the early years of the Empire to scapegoat any political opponents and eliminate them, silencing any opposition. It also gives Padme and clear and powerful legacy in the history of the Rebellion, almost as a martyr.

REMEMBER THIS SCENE? Remember how sappy and forced the dialogue was?

According to someone who worked on ROTS, there was supposed to be a reveal right after their sappy talk where Anakin leaves and members of the consul come out, revealing that Padme is working with them to try and see Anakin’s motives and whether he is turning to the dark side or not, basically turning Padme from a lovesick girl to an informant who is betraying her husband for the greater good

REMEMBER THIS SCENE AS WELL?

According to the same guy, the original scene would be Padme coming to the planet after Anakin kills the younglings to assasinate Anakin for the Rebellion while there is still time to do so (here’s the original scene art for it)

According to the cast member, as the two are embracing, Padme has a knife in her hands aimed at Anakin’s jugular, knowing the situation and almost accepting that he has lost Padme, he at first doesn’t say anything, basically saying ‘ok then, kill me’. But at the last minute Padme breaks the bond because she realizes she can’t kill the man she loves, this anakin kills her.

That’s a great source of conflict between him and Padme and a great way of sending his character over to the Dark Side, as Palpatine teaches him to value the power itself over what it can be used for

1. absolutely nothing in the entire game requires dexterity or quick reaction time. you can beat the game with no problems even if you have the reaction time of a shuckle

2. game mechanics based on categorization, things placed neatly into categories that are easy to memorize

3. there are multiplayer elements but the game itself? completely single player. no social interaction required to enjoy the hell out of this game

4. you are not only encouraged but expected to have empathy for and form an attachment to these virtual creatures that do not actually exist, which is very easy for an autistic person with hyperempathy to do
