Had a random thought about what could be animals that maybe a more modern Boba would like and then I got the thought ''what about wolves. Because he's kinda a lone wolf even though wolves are supposed to walk in a pack'' and that struck me and now I'm not able to recover.

Being in a fandom is fun and all UNLESS you love this one character that is so underrated and overshadowed

OR the majority of the fandom hates them for some fucking reason like damn what did they to you for you to hate them this much

#specifically made this for river ward #river ward #because huh #i don't get the hate he gets #fandoms #river ward x reader #river ward x v #also MARKUS #markus detroit become human #dbh markus #markus dbh #he is very underrated but I love him #post also kinda applies to Boba Fett? #atleast I kinda think so #loved the series #there's some valid critiscm but some comments... #boba fett #he does kinda get overshadowed I think #six little nightmares #little nightmares six #MY GIRL #I will defend those characters with my life #those are just my experiences

I love River and V's chemistry. Its hilariousss.

River is like the all righteous man whereas V, most of the time, does whatever they like.

River could be working on a case seriously then behind him V is just like looting stuff, stealing eddies from corpses.

If you can't tell I miss them.

[nova070]

"river's romance is heteronormative because you have dinner with his family" what if i fucking killed you?

[nova070]

"Rivers romance is so vanilla its boring-"

yeah WELL MAYBE I WANT VANILLA OKAY- MAYBE IM DEPRESSED AND JUST WANT THIS KIND SOFT BIG MAN TO BE A GOOD BEAN TO ME AND TO JUST RELISH IN THE CUTE SEMI-DOMESTICITY I CAN GET FROM IT OKAY?

[nova070]

to me, the real tragedy of river ward is that he never once tries to fix you. all of the other LIs see v as a person who's death is coming, and they try their very best to stop that. panam is willing to put her entire clan at risk just for the chance that v could get the relic separated in mikoshi. judy will always ask v about the relic and what can be done, she's willing to sacrifice just about anything when she knows she's just a bd editor and in reality there's really nothing she can do. kerry doesn't formally talk about it (just like kerry doesn't formally talk about ANYTHING), but the way he talks to v like their just going to be this consistent presence in his life and that now that he's in a better place he can spend more time with v-- which is really his way of saying that the two of them together can just ignore all of their problems when they're together.

but not river. he never once offers to help about the biochip apart from offering to talk about it. because what could he do? disgraced former detective turned private investigator, he has no friends left on the force, he only just got his family back and even that's fragile. river is the only one out of all of them who processes and understands that v is dying and there's nothing he can do about it.

but even with that, he doesn't run. he gives you plenty of options after you commit to him where you can back out and call it quits. but he is never the one to pull that plug because despite just about everything, he can't stop himself from loving v. and sure, at best it will only last a few months. but those few months will be beautiful because v's in his life, he loves v and cherishes v and even if v dies soon that's not going to stop him. just because the romance is short and isn't meant to last forever, it doesn't mean that it isn't there. and when v's time comes, river understand that at the very least he could be a bright spot in their life when everything else was falling to shit.

Can we just talk about the hatred the male romance options in cyberpunk get? Just today someone was bickering that they didn't like Kerry because.. "he threated 3 innocent girls, and would've killed them" Hello?? Hate to say it but out of all the Romance options in game, Kerry is the ONLY one who doesn't kill anyone. Nor does he have the balls too. He threatens people and that's about it. OH AND DON'T GET ME STARTED ON THE HATE THAT PEOPLE HAVE FOR RIVER. I have seen multiple people go after him, some people also just leave him to die on the farm because they hate him so much. I don't understand how people hate these two so much, and put Judy and Panam on a pedestal. All of the characters have their flaws, their own special stories, all of it. None of them are innocent, but none of them are the bad guys either. In short though,

STOP HARASSING PEOPLE FOR LIKING A CHARACTER!!!!! Just because you don't like them doesn't mean you gotta make it your whole personality.

#river ward #fucking literally and i hate it #am very recent to cyberpunk but I almost immediately really liked River and then I found out that so many people don't like him #which completely confuses me like yeah you don't have to like him I get it but some reasons are so stupid

after attempting to commission art of boba fett without his helmet, i am forced to consider that a good number of artists, subconsciously or not, cannot accept that temuera morrison has always been hot despite his lack of european features, and honestly this explains a lot about the fucking travesty that is every single clone's face in TCW and TBB

[nova070]

"star wars is about redemption" "star wars is about hope" "star wars is about love"

star wars is about finding new and exceedingly complicated ways to inflict psychological trauma on Boba Fett

[nova070]

someone PLEASE give this kid a hug

[nova070]

I kinda love it when characters are shown to be strong even without the things that make them iconic. Boba Fett killing the sand creature thing with just a chain after hed been held prisoner for days and days, using the same chain that bound him to free himself, its a super solid moment.

[nova070]

So, I'm exhausted and stressed and can't focus fully on writing fan fiction but seems ready to unleash creative spew on the SW-series we have gotten and how it could've been SO much better. I wanted to start with one, the one that seemed to have been the trigger of this weird ripple of poorly written series and see if I can unleash more for others (Not you Andor, you are perfection)

Book of Boba Fett

Scrap Din. Completely. Remove him. He doesn't even touch the show. Mentioned is acceptable, maybe even a sort of cameo where Fennec comes in to see Boba talking to him but hears nothing as they disconnect. Boba makes some note on what Djarin is doing as a way to express how much time has passed since the end of Season 2 of the Mandalorian. Maybe. But that's it.

Instead, there will be more memories opening up the episodes, even after Boba heals and is back to true form. For one, I think it would be beneficial to show a bit more young-Boba and show how angry and hateful and scared he was after Jango's death (let's get some re-makes of Clone War scenes) and how it shows his anger is consuming him. Show clips of him connected with Cad Bane and the dent in his helmet. Give little pieces to show how he went from that very angry and feral child to the rather composed man in Empire Strike's Back-Return of the Jedi to where he is now.

The tension of the politics are stretched out more. We will see Boba trying to actually take on a leadership role as Daimo but has the urge to be like he was before. And it's only when he starts allowing more of his self out does the good leader really blossom (ie. his brilliance of having the dinner above the supposed empty cage). He can even have conversations with Fennec of, "I was reckless and stupid with my anger before. And I got a face full of a scars and a head with less hair because of it." With her, ever the snarky wise one, going, "Being angry doesn't mean you be stupid."

Street kids are good, but not with the motorbikes. I feel they should've been more like the one character Kenobi met (his daughter in real life) who was telling him to get high and forget his problems--it's easier that way. They felt too punk and it was out of place for this planet at this time. They steal, maybe Robin Hood things here and there but are mostly out for their own group and themselves; exactly how Boba and Fennec were just a short time ago. Fennec could even connect to that girl and scoff in memory, "You're tough...I met a kid just like you on a job before" and now we have the presences of Omega within this series and how important she is here and not just in a singular location and can give audience the hope Omega and Boba will one day meet (season 3 of Bad Batch sorta helping confirm or deny this). While Boba is able to connect and warn them to not be like him and let their anger and hatred fool them into trusting arrogance. maybe someone makes a point, or maybe Boba realizes it himself, but this sounds very Jedi-esque and that haunts him.

Boba spent so many years hating the Jedi (mainly Mace) so having these moments of maturity would make him pause. It would end, of course, with him denouncing the belief because he is Mandalorian, like his father before him, and not everything is about the Jedi, because he fully believes in revenge and anger just not like how he used to. Now, he controls it. It doesn't control him. And he can let his hate for the Jedi finally go (ghost Mace, who was probably watching him the whole time is so relieved and lets the man go as well; not in the show but just in my heart).

The Tribe is not dead and, instead, at least a few survived (ie the child and the warrior and a few others; we did not get that incredible train scene for them to be all killed off camera) and we see Boba, who is dealing with the trauma of everything in his life, have a moment where he breaks down and apologizes to them (maybe not anything specific; maybe not really to them but to his younger self who never had a chance) seeing this as his fault. They forgive him, cause he needs forgiveness in some way, and offer him a home within their smaller tribe but he isn't ready for that and they accept it. Now, they are the ones who return to him and assist him in the final battle. This will also lead up to where it comes full circle for him. He will offer them a place within the city but they do not accept (they are a colonized people after all; I do not see them wanting to be within that city) and instead are welcomed to his territory as a home-base to return to should they ever wish and they part on good terms and promises of seeing each other again. It would end with Boba watching them leave into the setting suns, feeling longing but also a sensation of peace that they were going where they should go and he was where he was needed. So, he turns from them as they disappear into the melting suns and grunts out, "Just a simple man who made his way in the universe." And FIN.

We can keep a lot of the other craziness--he has his Rancor (i love this part of the story), he deals with corrupt politicians, Peli meets her next boy-toy cause Din (name cameo) suggested her for Boba's use, Black Krrsantan is in the picture, Cad Bane is the big bad who shoots down Vanth (and that final end scene is still there), and so many other ridiculous parts! They could all connect and make sense!

And there can be this theme that is trying to beat Boba over the head about anger. Because we have seen anger so much through the eyes of Jedi--this can really be a new type of accepting and letting things go. More akin to the anger we see constantly simmering and boiling over in Andor but in a more personal way and showing that it doesn't need to be snuffed out but honed (controlled). It can be why Boba seems so mild at times, it's because he is learning about who he is to be, but then is able to show us the (fan) Boba that was so popular is still there--he's just someone who is trying to fill a role he thinks he has to completely change for.

#agreed #show deserved better #still love it though for what it is #i genuinely always skip episode 5 and six because din being there just feels...not right for me

[nova070]

jango fett is the kind of character that just fucks me up he's perfect truly nobody is in my brain like he is and then to think about BOBA?

jango's outlived everyone and killed for them and his life is vengeance and loss. that's what he remembers when he thinks about his family. when do you stop living with a wound? when the wound is what you become. when the earliest memory you have, any more, is your family dying (loss) and your adopted father asking how you feel about killing the man who killed them (vengeance). the father who stepped in to protect you and you remember everything he did for you but mostly you remember him dying in your arms (loss).

you tell your son about the family you once had (loss) and he asks why they're not with you any more and you have to tell him about how cruel the world can be (loss) and he asks what happened to the people who killed them and you have to tell him what you're capable of (vengeance). he's not afraid of you even though you know he should be. he asks why you're making an army for jedi if you hate them so much and you don't have an answer for that because you don't know if it's hatred or fear and you don't want to live but you haven't killed yourself yet so apparently you also don't want to die.

so you're stuck in the middle and it's so fucking stupid how so many people see the world in black and white when all you've got to work with is greys. you took a job because the alternative was probably going to be getting killed for saying no, but when's the last time you saw someone pointing a blaster at you and thought about getting out of the way?

sure you can trust your armour to take the bolt but maybe this time it won't. your father's armour couldn't stand up to a tank, and maybe enough blaster bolts will start wearing a hole through your shell to the nothing underneath it. maybe that's the legacy you're meant to have. you get shot like your father and you die like your father and you have - what?

you have a son and you want him to be jaster's legacy but maybe you wonder what that legacy is supposed to be exactly. you wonder if leaving your son alone is part of the legacy. if it's the point. the only way to get a legacy is to inherit it and you can only inherit things from murdered fathers. what happens when the story won't stop haunting you? when you know what the end is - because it's the way you want it to end, whenever you're alone long enough to think about it.

what happens when you realise too late that you're part of a cycle and your son is too? when you realise that everyone you love is dead and there's so many people killed in so many ways and you're the only thing they all had in common?

are you proud when he tries to shoot a jedi? is it a good thing that you see yourself in him? is that your legacy, dying in front of the only thing you want to protect? do you see the future? do you see the past? do you realise they're the same thing? do you realise it too late?

I actually didn’t care for Boba before the Book of Boba Fett show happened. I didn’t give a fuck about him other than how iconically girlpop baby his outfit was in the comics. That was an epic pastel babygirl outfit. But you know what made me love Boba? The reason why I’m borderline obsessed with him now? He’s just a hurt child who wanted his Buir, and he collects other broken people and makes them a home and has a hatred of the spice trade from his own father’s hatred of being a spice freighter slave. He loves children even when they’re absolutely little fuckers to him, and he wants to be accepted, and welcomed into a family.

His family is strong and angry and full of outcasts that the galaxy has abused and discarded. And he adores them all so much.

[nova070]

It’s officially been three years since THAT SCENE and I think all the Boba simps had their brain chemistry altered. Mine included. 🫡

This scene has borne so much smutty filth and I will not apologize…

[nova070]

Boba Fett 🤝 Sabine Wren 🤝 Din Djarin

Going through an unbelievably traumatic past, losing your family, getting cast out, throwing yourself into bounty hunting, but ultimately finding a new family and choosing to be good and kind despite everything

[nova070]

Who else loves platonic life partners in media? Like Captain Cold and Heatwave, Fennec and Boba, even Perry and Doof! I just love chaotic found family/friend combos and we deserve more of them!
