Blue Force Sabers The Dark King Lightsaber (LOTR Witch King Inspired) | New Saber Alert

Blue Force Sabers The Dark King Lightsaber has been unveiled. The custom saber, a mashup design, is inspired by the Witch King, Sauron’s second-in-command, from the Lord of the Rings series. Like the company’s previously released Survivor lightsaber, The Dark King Lightsaber exterior is mostly aluminum cast. Blue Force Sabers offers the bold and aggressive Dark King lightsaber, a limited run, as…

My sister had a dream where Thranduil (from the hobbit) had lightsabers. So I made this. Enjoy!

I desperately want a Tolkien Star Wars AU so badly.

Aragorn being Mandalorian and returning as the ruler of Mandalore would sufficiently give me life.

The Sons of Feanor all swearing to the Dark Side to fulfil their Oath.

Lightsaber battles between Eowyn and the Witch-king of Angmar.

The list goes on.

I got my dad and my sister lightsabers for Christmas cause that’s their big Thing (and therefore their big father-daughter thing) and they just got here and I’m not even that big on Star Wars but FUCK THIS IS COOL

#HOLY SHIT THESE ARE SO FRIGGIN COOL #me and my dad’s father-daughter thing is lotr so naturally I want a sword but THE LIGHTSABERS ARE STILL FRIGGIN AWESOME #I AM HARD GEEKING AND THIS ISN’T EVEN MY THING #my dad knows I’m getting my sister one but he doesn’t know I got him one too so it’s possible I’m gonna make the man cry on Christmas #his is green too so he’s gonna love it even more #he saw og Star Wars 7 times in theaters this is his THING #I am SO EXCITED

Everyone thinks James Potter is a player and a cocky prick, but in reality—if you were lucky enough to get a chance to go into his bedroom—you’d see it’s covered in movie and band posters, lego figures, Minecraft and LOTR sword replicas and lightsabers, he’d only wears graphic t-shirts, and he still has all his stuffed toys from childhood. He also aggressively dances to Easy Lover by Phil Collins to hype himself up for any of his dates.

I saw the thing. Both of the thing. The two things. Those things. Star Wars things.

RIP Luke Skywalker's relevance post-OT, we hardly knew ye.

[spoilers and shit below the cut]

I mean... the first two episodes did their job? They certainly felt like a typical Star Wars, whatever your definition of Star Wars is. It just feels like these people at the top have no fucking idea what to do with the galaxy post-Empire and pre-First Order. Like, there is no obviously Big Bad Fascist group of baddies that our plucky underdog rebel heroes have to fight. The enemy is not clear as bright fucking day. What is the enemy? What are we fighting? Is this why we're plundering the depths of the EU and overwriting EU!Thrawn with Disney!Thrawn? Is this why we're turning the New Republic into an uncaring out-of-touch wannabe Galactic Republic/Empire?

There are many, many places where the Volume is painfully obvious and it is incredibly fucking distracting. Personally, Peter Jackson's LOTR trilogy and the POTC trilogy really sold me on the possibilites offered by the marriage of practical FX and CGI. I've never been convinced by the "gimmick" that James Cameron's blue cat people promised, and seeing how increasingly terrible and cheap and fucking greedy the Hollywood studios have become since then has me convinced that we're fucked. I still want to one day get a job in entertainment design but I am increasingly gritting my teeth and side-eyeing the state of things.

There has to be better way to paint non-human skin tones onto actors right. The lack of emoting also really frustrated me. I hope it's just people settling into their roles but I also don't know the sequence in which they shot their scenes. It's just... I felt nothing. I lied. I felt something for Sabine's lothcat. I get Ahsoka at this time being aloof, distant, cold, closed off, but everybody else? I didn't feel it. Maybe from Skoll and Hati, our non-Jedi Norse wolves. Nordic? I don't fucking know.

Someone please explain to me how Sabine is suddenly a Padawan, an ex-Padawan, and now a Padawan again. I never saw Rebels but I know enough canon to know that Padawans are supposed to have some kind of Force sensitivity? Why is Ahsoka deciding who to take in as a Padawan? I thought she left the Jedi Order before she became a Knight? What the fuck is going on? Is she just... making up the rules now since there isn't an Order of people to say, "Hey, maybe don't"? Or is she just picking up where Ezra and Kanan left off? I don't know Rebels and it is midnight; I sure af am not going to decide to read summaries of everyone right now.

Sorry to Luke who either never blipped on Baylan's radar or was just that unimportant to him. Somehow. Sorry to Cal, though I don't even know if he survived to see the Empire's fall.

Among the bipedals who speak Basic, Morgan Elsbeth wins the award for "Most Interesting Character" because Diana knows how to chew up her scenes and has the charisma to keep me interested. I don't recall she was ever revealed to be a Witch in her Mando episode. But now she is? What? Why?

The baseline world development of the Corellian shipyards fucking kills me. I know nothing about Lothal from the show so I can't say shit, but from what I've seen of the city itself, it's so.... clean. CG clean. "We can't let people know we live here" clean. The Volume was screaming into my eyes on Arcana, and I can't believe the fucking planet is called Arcana.

But what is the reason why Sabine put away the parts of herself that are Mandalorian? Is it so that we can see her floundering and struggling and letting her hair grow long while she tells everyone to fuck off? Is it so that we can then see her saw off her long hair a la Mulan (or Kanan, I guess) and become a Mandalorian again? I... I don't have any emotional investment in this. I didn't see Rebels, therefore I don't have any actual emotional investment in this. It's just, cool CG, lightsabers whee, classic Star Wars-ish music to yank at your heartstrings, droids, magic, the Force, Force shit, more lightsabers, pew pew, wheeeeeeeeeeeeeee. And people I only recognize because of the Galaxy of Heroes games, fandom osmosis, and cursory skimming of the Star Wars wiki. If I was a true outsider who knew the bare minimum from previous D+ shows, waht would my investment level be?

Is anyone surprised that Andor keeps showing up in these conversations? I want to rip my hair out and scream at people who hate the discourse because they say people just want more shows exactly like Andor (grimy and dark and grimdark with no Jedi and no Sith and no pew pew space fights and no bzzzzzzzzzzt lightsabers and all politics and politicking and hard decisions made by morally gray characters either trying to survive or trying to see the Rebellion survive) instead of the campy unseriousness with color and bad CG and silliness and pew pew space lasers and shit. I just want more shows made with love and care and a basic understanding of storytelling. There's a difference between telling a story and telling a Star Wars story. The Felonious Showrunners are telling you a Star Wars story full of Star Wars. Did you see the Star Wars? Look at the Star Wars. Listen to the Star Wars. Feel the Star Wars. Yes, I get it, but are you also telling me a story? Is this all really just a buildup to Thrawn returning to the galaxy to take control of the Imperial remnants to make a second Empire or some shit like that? And as always, does it really matter when Thrawn and Ahsoka and Mandalore didn't have ANY impact on the galaxy or the fate of the New Republic and the First Order in the ST?

Fucking hell, looked up serial vs episodic because I forgot the terms and then deleted the entire paragraph because what's the point l o l. Look, the problem for me is that this show relies on working knowledge of Rebels and also The Clone Wars so that we can understand who these people are, what their history is with each other, and where they're coming from when the Norse wolves sprung a witch from her cell. I don't have the time or energy to do any of that, so I don't... I don't care. Who are these people? Explain them to me. Tell me why I should care without assuming I already watched the other shows. All we had of Andor is Cassian Andor, who dies at the end of Rogue 1. Yet somehow we got to see all these new faces emerge and bloom and keep rising or dying for the sake of the nascent Rebellion. We got to know who the fuck they are, what the fuck they do or did, what their relationships are to each other, to the Rebellion, to the Empire, to Cassian. We got to see and hear what they believed in and why they fight or don't fight.

You don't need the 3 episodes of fleshing out Ferrix or any of the characters integral to a story arc. You already have the settings and the people. You already have the history. It would take a lot less work to introduce who they are, what they did or do, how they relate to each other, what they won and lost . It just... it just feels so damn shallow and half-baked and stiff and light like cotton candy.

I think if not for Andor, these first two episodes of Ahsoka would be perfectly acceptable in the Star Wars D+ series pantheon. But Andor is fucking Spiders Georg and fucked over people's expectations of what a good Star Wars show is and can be.

ACTUALLY. WHY NOT TELL THOSE OF US THAT AREN'T FAMILIAR WITH THE DISNEY STAR WARS LORE WHO THE FUCK THRAWN IS, WHAT THE FUCK HE DID, AND WHY WE DON'T WANT HIM BACK. Oh he's the last of the Imperial Grand Admirals - so what. Moff Gideon is beneath the likes of Vader and Tarkin and Thrawn and he did a lot of fucking damage. Andor showed us very clearly what kind of power and damage the ISB can do. So how much more damage can Thrawn do if he did come back? What kind of threat is he? TELL US HOW DANGEROUS HE IS TO THE NEW REPUBLIC. TELL US WHY MORGAN IS TRYING TO BRING HIM BACK. FOR HER OWN AMBITIONS? TO HELP OUT THE OTHER IDIOTS HIDING IN THE DARK, LAUGHING AT GIDEON CLONING HIMSELF IN A PATHETIC GRAB FOR POWER? COME ON. TELL ME SOMETHING.

Anyway, sorry to Luke Skywalker who's stuck on Ossus fucking around with Artoo and a bunch of spider droids, locked out of some greater story about an apathetic former Padawan and her own Mando Padawan looking for a lost Jedi while also trying to stop a blue man from returning to the galaxy. Maybe he never should've returned to Star Wars and stayed a grumpy old Jake who died all alone on some fuckoff island.

Let's see what the next episode will bring! At least it makes great background noise while I do other things.

[myceliumelium]

That IS a terrible idea for your time management! But I'm going to support your bad idea if I get a free OC sketch out of it, lol. Anyway, this one is weird because she's actually more Star Wars than LotR, but she is an elf and comes from an atrocious multifandom crossover, and that's all I'm going to say because nobody wants to know about the stories I came up with when i was twelve (trust me).

Anyway, she is a very tall, skinny 12-14 year old half-elf who lives in the modern world because Reasons. (Her mom was Galadriel's secret daughter sent to the future to maintain the elf race, but forget I said that.) She has straight, dark brown hair in a ponytail and brown eyes. Her ears are somewhat pointed, not so much that people would think something weird is going on, but enough that kids would make fun of her for having elf ears, not knowing it's true. Her classic outfit is a plain green shirt, black pants or blue jeans, and elbow-length compression gloves to cover severe burn scars/skin grafts. She also has scars on her face, which she uses makeup to cover, but for character design practice, maybe you want her to not have her makeup on, or it to not quite hide everything. She tends to be outwardly very cheerful and friendly and have a big smile on her face, though I'd guess it's a bit lopsided due to the burns. If you want an excuse to show her hands, you can have her holding a lightsaber (blue). Should you choose this challenge, good luck.

I feel like she definitely looks closer to 14 than to 12 here but she's such a vibe.

Hey I love your writing! It’s super cute and honestly really good. I definitely reread it a lot lol. I’m excited to read more of your works! I found you through your clone wars works but I love your LOTR stuff too.

If you’re still taking requests, what about #38 from the hurt/comfort prompt list with Wolffe from the clone wars? He gives me good caretaker vibes if it a bit of bad bedside manner vibes lol

OMG thanks 😃😃 It means a lot when you guys say that 😍😊 I don't have any LOTR stuff (yet. feel free to request. I would love to write some) so you might be confusing me with someone else? Also YES to ALL of that 😂 Commander Wolffe means well. And sometimes he can actually be caring too. Hope this is what you wanted!

--------------------------------------------------

In the Middle of the Night

Commander Wolffe hasn't always had the best bedside manner. Even though he might be rough around the edges,he really does care for his cyare.

Warnings: Sick reader. Mentions of vomit and being ill

--------------------------------------------------

"No! Stop!"

The words caught in your throat as you jolted awake, feeling like you'd just been electrocuted. The sheets on your bed were soaked and you felt like you'd just run a marathon.

"Y/n!" sounded a sleepy grunt. "You okay?"

You lay there blinking, trying to reorient yourself to your surroundings. Damnit. You hadn't had a nightmare in a while. They usually came when you were sick and right now you felt awful. You felt like you'd swallowed a lightsaber. Your lungs burned with every breath and your entire body ached. All you could do was groan in response.

"Cyare!?"

A light switched on beside the bed illuminating the clone lying beside you. He sat up, instinctively reaching for the blaster he kept beside the bed, pausing when he realized there was no immediate danger. He ran a hand down his scarred face.

"What's wrong?"

"Don't...feel...so...good" you managed to choke out; your voice was barely audible.

Commander Wolffe frowned as he looked at you lying beside him. "Kriff, you look terrible."

If you hadn't felt like death, you probably would have been offended by the callous remark but right now, your delirious mind thought that it was the funniest thing he'd ever said. Wolffe raised an eyebrow at your raspy giggles, then frowned again when they soon gave way to a painful cough. You tried to pull yourself to a sitting position. He sighed, pressing a strong hand to your shoulder.

"Just lie back, cyare. Don't get up, I'll bring you some water."

The Commander was right, sitting up was a bad idea. Your vision swam and you felt like a boat being tossed about in the sea. It was very reminiscent of the time when you had actually been in the oceans of Kamino on a boat. Seasickness. That's exactly how you felt right now. Except for this time you weren't on a boat - and this was much worse. A wave of nausea rolled over you.

"I'mma be sick," you slurred, gagging. Everything was blurry and slow. Fresher...make it to the fresher. It would be embarrassing, to say the least, if you were sick all over yourself in front of the Commander. You gagged again, unable to help yourself. Now Wolffe was wide awake.

"Oh, kriff! Uhm... Okay, hold on." He floundered around trying to find something to give you to be sick in.

You rolled over to the side of the bed in a delirious attempt to get to the fresher. You hit the floor with a thud.

"Shit, ok. Come on." He jumped out of bed, quickly slinging your arm over his shoulder like you were a solider he was dragging off the battlefield. A strong arm wrapped around your waist, jerking you to your feet. You felt heavy and weak, putting all of your weight on him. You didn't think you could carry yourself there at all and he could easily bear your weight.

"Alright, come on, cyare." His voice was still rough with sleep as he helped you stumble to the fresher. You vomited heavily into the vac-tube.

"There you go, cyar'ika." He brushed your hair back from your face. "Good girl, let it all out."

"I'm so sorry," you whispered. Your cheeks burned with embarrassment and you could feel the hot prickle of tears bloom from the corners of your eyes.

"Hey, don't be sorry. It happens to the best of us." He grunted as he slid to the floor beside you, handing you a wet washcloth.

"Not to you it doesn't!" Your voice cracked and the tears came then.

"That's because I'm a - " he paused, looking at your sickly tearstained faced. He shook his head and sighed, feeling slightly guilty. "Kriff, cyare. It's alright. I've gotcha." He pulled you gently into his chest. "I've got you. You're ok."

You lay your face onto his chest, shivering. He wrapped his arms around you, pulling you close.

You sniffed as your teeth chattered. "Kriff, why is your skin so cold?"

Wolffe chuckled, "It's not. You're just burning up. I'd say you've got a pretty high fever."

"Oh," was all that you could say. Whatever energy you'd had before was long ebbed away.

You whimpered as you felt the Commander lift you into his arms, taking you back to the bed.

"Please don't leave me." You whispered, suddenly panicked at the loss of contact as he lay you down and left the room. He came back with a glass of water and sat gently beside you.

"I'm not going anywhere, cyar'ika."

I'm attempting to satisfy 10-year-old-me's deepest desire in life:

Lord of the rings, but like, star wars au

no! wait! Don't go! I know, i KNOW, I'm a grown woman I should be well past the years of silly crossovers but I am in mighty NEED of drawing my fave tolkien characters swinging lightsabers about 😔

i need feedback on something tho: Thinking of maybe modifying a VERy important aspect of one of the star wars' universal laws,,, mainly bc this au takes place in what would be pre-order 66 days, aka with an intact Republic, and with so many of the lotr characters being related to each other i'm like 'either NO one is a jedi or I get rid of the requirement for complete emotional detachment'

also bc i really REALLY want Faramir to be a jedi but like, still kinda part of his family?? the way i'm kinda thinking of compromising is he's not officially (like, legally or whatever) part of his family as a Jedi but damn try to tell Boromir that he can't be besties with his little bro anymore lol

Anyway i'm doodling some art for the au lmk if y'all would like to see any art for this au ?

#on the one hand i'm like 'This au is so much fun to develop! :D #on the other hand tolkien would like.. hate the stoic emotionlessness of the jedi order LMAO #i mean i guess that's the POINT they were a deeply DEEPLY flawed institution in canon LOL

Spoilers for the season finale of Ahsoka under the cut!

I smiled. I screamed. I cried. It was fucking perfect. The most Star Wars-y Star Wars show. I loved it so much. Here are some miscellaneous thoughts:

All the Nightsister stuff! I’ve always loved the Nightsisters and wanted to know more about them, so this was so cool

Ahsoka being so understanding of Sabine and her decision was lovely. I love their relationship so much

Ezra’s lightsaber looking like Kanan’s!! Oh my god I cried

Thrawn continuing to be smarter than everybody and so, so cool

The Morai!

Huyang having the part for it and saying Ezra’s and Kanan’s were the only two. I sobbed.

Ezra being Ezra and talking on the trooper’s comm then stealing his armour to escape was so fun. It made me so happy

Baylan standing on the statue of The Father!! So cool. Also I loved the cinematography of those scenes. Big LOTR vibes

They’re going to Dathomir!!!!!!!

Hera and Ezra seeing each other for the first time absolutely broke me

Anakin’s force ghost watching over Ahsoka. I wept.

I loved the ESB vibes. The bad guys won, but there’s still such a strong feeling of hope, a sense that yes, they lost, but everything is eventually going to be okay

The score, the cinematography, the writing, the acting, the way it’s such a perfect combination of all SW media, god, it was perfect. What an incredible show. I knew it would be good, but I never thought it would be that good

My only complaint is that there was no Zeb, but if (when, let’s be honest) they get a second season, I’m sure he’ll be in it. Kallus too, hopefully. And Hondo, please

My point about Star Wars as fantasy kept getting lost yesterday because I wasn't putting it plainly enough and I do think it's important.

I think of space opera as fantasy because it's not like WRITING sci fi, it's like writing a high fantasy setting like LOTR.

Speaking as someone who's written in all three genres. I think about space opera the way I think about high fantasy, when I'm thinking in depth about the worldbuilding at all (after all, one of my two major space operas is LOP, which I've said before runs on cartoon logic.)

People say they're not "smart enough" to write in sci fi and count space opera as if the Millennium Falcon weren't less grounded in reality than ents. Because yes, Treebeard is more realistic of a concept than the space jalopy the way Star Wars presents it.

When you're writing sci fi you're often trying to find a seed, at least, of some real world plausibility before you go rushing forward. Jurassic Park's exploration of cloning technology taken to a logical extreme, for example.

When you're writing a space opera like Star Wars the thing that usually matters is how YOU want it to work. Hyperspace is magic. The force is magic. Lightsabers.... Pretty much magic.

So when I'm talking about writing and I say that a space opera is fantasy I mean that you can just make the rules up yourself as you please.

And yes, as it's being pointed out to me by my housemate, you can HAVE a hard sci fi space opera, but honestly there's a reason it's rare.

I genuinely don't think anyone needs to be all that smart about science or math to write something approaching the harder sci fi end of the spectrum, but you don't need to know anything about science or math to write for Star Wars or anything like Star Wars.

Blasters and the Death Star don't care one bit about math, trust me.

Hi!

Can I ask you a question? What is your opinion on crossover fics? Do you think it's possible for it to be too much, like if the world's are too incompatable? I guess it would depend on how it's written? I dunno, sometimes I have wild ideas, and I don't know if it's gonna end up like a Frankenstein project or the coolest thing I've ever written. What's your opinion?

Hi!! How are you doing today??

Hmm...I have a strange stance with crossover fics. I don't actively seek them out, and sometimes I even go so far as to avoid them. (Does every fandom need multiple Harry Potter crossovers 😭 ??) I think they do take a lot of tact and skill to execute well. The few I've looked at over the years either hit or miss. I think it really depends on a few things, but execution is the main thing. It really depends on the skill of the author and how creative they are to make things work. No one hate on me, but some people just do not have the skills or creativity to do it well.

Meshing worlds together that are vastly different is hard to do right, but a well executed version could work for anything really. I once saw a Star Wars/LOTR crossover and it was...not it. This was years ago, but it was like a jedi OC woke up in Middle Earth with her lightsaber and they're just such vastly different worlds in terms of the technology available and magic versus the Force. There's a lot you have to take into consideration when doing crossovers.

That being said, I'm not against them. I don't make it a point to read them usually, but if they're well executed by a talented author that really puts work into it (or they're a total crack fic meant to just be utterly ridiculous) then really anything could be combined into a crossover.

I had a crossover GOT/LOTR fic I was considering a while ago. Then I jumped into CRCB and well...you can see how that went.

It's the last day of June but I have one more post in me for @jedijune but it's a little different. The goal of Jedi June is to appreciate the Jedi, but this time I'm appreciating them in a more meta sense.

I saw Attack of the Clones in 2002 as a wee lil preteen and as soon as I laid eyes on the Jedi, I instantly wanted to be one. I wanted a cool lightsaber and space adventures like many a kid, of course. But I was also hitting those awkward teenage years and all that comes with it and I had no words for it, but I knew I was experiencing it different than my peers. I only heard "gay/queer" as an insult or an opportunity to be bullied or even murdered. I wouldn't hear "asexual" until after college. But I knew that more than anything I wanted to imagine being a Jedi because then I would never have to get married. (Also: they had girls. My sister and I watched the AotC VHS over and over and over again and memorized every single frame that had Aayla and Shaak Ti and Bultar Swan and Luminara Unduli and Barriss Offee. Even though you had to be a thin, pretty girl, girls still got to be Jedi.)

And on top of all of that, I was supposed to be too old for toys but I still wanted to make stories. So I took my happy ass and my allowance money to Borders and bought this:

This, here, is Baby's First Fanfiction and Fanart. I wouldn't fall in love with LotR until January 2003. So this is where I got my start as a writer and artist of characters. (I drew all the time since I could hold a pencil, but mostly dinosaurs and animals.) I loved writing and drawing before, but it was the Jedi that first catapulted me into what I've become as a fan artist and fanfic writer now.

So for fun I dug out Baby's First Jedi OCs and decided to draw them with twenty-one more years of art skills:

For a little background, 2002 Preteen Me had a Very Grand Plan of writing a novel, submitting it to Lucasfilm, and getting it published. It would be about Derran Kanis, My Most Wonderful Jedi OC and her life and her adventures, and the very last scene would be choosing her Padawan, whose final line would be "Yoda, my name is." (Preteen Me was confident that since we don't actually see Yoda in action this wouldn't break George Lucas' rule of not revealing Yoda's species or background. The focus would be all on My Wonderful Jedi OC anyway.)

A little Yoda is a lot easier to draw now after all the practice with Grogu! Should I call Favroni and tell them it was my idea first? XD

I was obsessed with the Jedi Apprentice series most of all, so of course there had to be more characters for them to get into Shenanigans with for both generations.

Leronna was Derran's friend, a wise and serious Jedi Master. Derran was the Qui-Gon of the relationship and more of a risk-taker, while Leronna was more solemn to balance her out.

Their other friend was Mukdon, because I thought a Hutt Jedi would be really cool and unique. To contrast Hutt stereotypes, he was rather un-confident and a worrywart.

Of course Yoda needed a friend to get into trouble with, so he had Leronna's Padawan Te-Mon Zeyon. Te-Mon was the serious and play it safe one to contrast Yoda being more reckless (I figured he couldn't be that wise and solemn yet but that cheerfully mischievous side had been there the whole time.) Now that I look at him, I think I accidentally designed a Light Side version of Kylo Ren's TFA outfit.

Last of all my redraws was Tama Ci, a posthumous character and Leronna's first Padawan. Losing her to an illness made Leronna reluctant to take another Padawan and contributed to Te-Mon being more cautious, since he didn't want to risk himself and force his Master to face another loss. I don't remember for sure but I strongly suspect her design was influenced by Aayla Secura, since she's my sister's favorite Jedi and we often tracked down any content or merch of her together.

No I will not post any of the fanfiction... it's baaaaaad. It was written by a preteen and it shows. (No offense to any of you in that age range - just that as an adult, I've learned a lot more since then.) But like favorite dolls you take off the shelf and play with now and then, all these characters hold a special place in my heart. Derran, as my first and most dearest - the core of my first grand plan for a long fic - is very special to me and my oldest "active" OC, now existing as a character in SWTOR.

The Jedi were escapism and a refuge for me as a kid, just like Din Djarin and his friends are for me now. So that's what I really appreciate most. That even as a preteen/teenager, in all those awkward years, I still had a place to mentally escape and pretend I was a badass space monk who never had to get married and could live in a cool building with a huge library.

Fictional Weapon War submissions are closed!

Thank you all for 222 submissions!

Now, I will begin assembling the bracket. I got 25 weapons with multiple submissions which will automatically be included in the bracket (they will be in a list under the cut).

For the remaining 39, I will be posting a series of preliminary rounds. Franchises/fandoms with four or more submissions will get their own round all to themselves BUT if a fandom already has 2 or more already in the bracket then I'm not allowing any more for them (I'm looking at you, One Piece and Kingdom Hearts).

There will also be the Favorites Round which will include some of my favorite submissions because I am biased.

The preliminary rounds will be going out in three batches on July 18, 19, and 20. They will also only last 24 hours so be on the lookout!

I feel like no one talks enough about how Eddie would be a Star Wars nerd. like we all know he likes LOTR, and I feel like Star Wars just goes hand in hand with that. he would think Yoda is sick (he would definitely do the Yoda voice) and he’d totally be the type to buy toy lightsabers and battle Dustin with them. and you and him could do couples halloween costumes for it, I’m thinking Leia and Han!!!! because YES!!!!!! Eddie has major Han Solo vibes, but I digress. he would love all of the different planets and stuff, like he’d be so immersed in the world the movies create. and yeah, I just wanna cuddle with Eddie and watch Star Wars and hear him nerd out about it :’(
