god i wish they hadn't retconned maul's death. i get wanting to explore more of his character because he was, objectively, one of the coolest star wars characters to ever hit the big screen and didn't get much screentime prior to his death, but also his role was fulfilled perfectly within those constraints so i wasn't too upset by it.
but by retconning it and making it so he never died it's like. okay. what now? the whole point (well, to me, ymmv of course) of the theed generator fight was that it was the first ever fight between the jedi and the sith in thousands of years, and that in the end even though the jedi (obi-wan) won the fight, a jedi (qui-gon) and a sith (maul) still died. a master and an apprentice dying together to herald the start of a new age/the return of the sith. perfectly paralleling the way in rotj a master (palps) and an apprentice (anakin/vader) died together to herald the return of the jedi. in both instances, a father figure (qui-gon/vader) dies in the arms of their son (obi-wan/luke) as a sith (palps/maul) is cast down into the abyss to their deaths. (palps being alive in the ST and retconning his death in rotj is also annoying for this reason)
i mean i like maul. don't get me wrong. he's an incredibly compelling character and i enjoy seeing more of him... but there's always the thought hovering in my mind like "he should be dead though. he should 100% be dead. this wouldn't be happening if he was dead, but i honestly would rather it not if it meant that maul was dead."
like the tpm fight just doesn't hit the same knowing that canonically he's just. going to become a robot octopus at some point. (shoutout to palps becoming sith glados in the ST) it cheapens the moment for me. it was supposed to be a moment of triumph marred by the deep and soul-crushing loss of a loved one and it's just... not, anymore. or at least not to the same extent. AUGH i'm just. frustrated. wish star wars as a whole wasn't constantly reframing/retconning what's been established. just puts a bad taste in my mouth.

Our first prompt week!
For every prompt week we'll be keeping fluff and angst separate, fluff not necessarily being limited to fluffy stuff, just anything that's not sad/angry/upsetting. We want people to be able to go into the tag and get the vibes they want!
So here's how it works! The purple and orange prompts are exclusive to their respective tones, purple gets a positive take and orange gets a negative take, and green can go either way! Just be sure that in the end you use the right tag!
And! While the tournament and some events will stay focused on our babygirl transfem Leo, the prompt weeks are not! Any turtles with any headcanons are allowed here! (Just don't be too surprised if the transfem Leo crowd gets more excited for babygirl stuff, that is the audience this blog is focused on after all!)
Be sure to hold off on posting your prompt fills until the days they're listed as! And remember to tag us! We're excited to see how these events do!

Not going to lie I straight up get annoyed with all the ask blogs cluttering the TSAMS tag 😭
I mean I’m sure the AU is great and all but I don’t want to have to scroll past like idk how many rp blogs to get to the actual art
I really hope this doesn’t offend anyone 💀

[id: a digital drawing of two ocs, tetsu and bian, standing side by side, arms around each other. tetsu is a tall seolite guy in a blue/teal tracksuit jacket, teal and black biker shorts, white socks, black socks, and a grey sidebag. with an enthusiastic smile he is waving with one arm and has the other around bian's shoulders. bian is a short, older lady from lo manthang in a pink blouse, red and yellow floral vest, and long white linen pants. with a gentle grin, she is braced on a brown cane, but otherwise has an arm around tetsu's waist.]
i swear this started as a fun warm up but i guess i accidentally made two de based ocs lol. tall lad is tetsu who is an international law student who is boarding at bians home. bian's a retired sociology professor and a polyglot. both bond over an interest in entroponetics but for vastly different reasons
