You know, I was just thinking about the UA entrance exam.

Specifically, how terribly designed it is, but not for the reason they seem to give in the story itself.

Like, here's how it is: Aizawa is shown criticising the UA Entrance Exam once, during the Sports Festival. And the ONE criticism he makes, is that the use of Robot enemies during the exam would disproportionately affect people whose Quirk work against biological opponents, essentially.

His one criticism, is that the exam is not designed to also cater to people like him, and that's it. The way therefore it's set up, it'd be logical to assume he'd ask for a restructuring to the exam to remove the Robots and substitute them with live enemies, possibly Ectoplasm clones.

This is never brought up again, aside from maybe a stealth bring up during the mid term exams when they switch the exam from fighting robots to fighting teachers.

The exam is, and I just got to it myself while watching this video about how Copaganda paints police training and the relative risk police officers face on the job, set up in a very specific environment:

An empty town, where what is essentially a murder spree is taking place. The ONLY entities in the place, outside of fellow examinee, are robots that have been literally designed to attack everyone on sight, and that need to be destroyed to pass. The points granted from saving people are hidden, so they can be more "genuine" of course, and are, ultimately, also part of the problem.

Because here's the fucking thing.

When the fuck is that ever going to happen.

When the fuck, is a superhero, after their 5 years of Hero training in high school, then entering the work force without a need for a decree in higher education, ever going to find themselves in an environment where they can use LETHAL FORCE on civilian targets? With no restraint or care for collateral damage?

And where they are ENCOURAGED to kill as many criminals as they can, and NOT collaborate with other heroes? Because that's another thing, you need to steal points from other people to pass, by culling the number of limited robots, much like heroes are paid by the arrest and by popularity.

You do understand how fucked up that starts to sound right? The other, the enemy, is reduced as a caricature Droid from star wars, there only to kill and destroy, and against whom your only TWO methods of defeat are outright destruction or sneak attacks on their off buttons.

And here's the cherry on the shit too, because, AGAIN, when is that EVER going to be the case?

Do you know how many heroes show up in the first villain attack in BNHA?

Five.

Two are engaging a purse snatcher, three are doing crowd control, the Slime Villain, who may I remind you was guilty of robbery at a convenience store before he got the hostage, gets THE NUMBER ONE HERO, as well as those same FIVE heroes involved, of which only BACKDRAFT is actually doing anything.

Now, imagine you are a hero school, and you produce 40 heroes a year, just like every other hero school out there. How many of those heroes will see active duty, if the rate of crimes demand FIVE heroes to react to ONE criminal?

And people will say "but EDS, this mentality is later rewarded when All Might retires and it all falls to shit," Except NOT REALLY, because that's an externally forced situation caused by, and I can't stress this enough, a hundreds of yeas old NEET boomer who read too many Doctor Doom comics as a kid and decided to become a supervillain, the riots, the open air warfare, is only caused by AFO forcing the hand and inciting popular unrest, which is an unrealistic thing to expect off any society.

In one of the movies, Class 1-A is sent to open an hero agency on a small island with barely a village on it. 20 Heroes. Until the movie truly picks up, the best they do is help kittens from trees, and Bakugou, the sort of person for whom the Entrance Exam was designed, is useless, left in his tent like Achilles, the perfect cowboy cop who peeked in highschool and didn't realize just how much paperwork and dead time his dream job actually entailed.

So that's the ACTUAL Issue with the entrance exam. It take no account for any other mean to beat the robots but brute force, it takes no account for collateral damage, or the sanctity of life of your opponents, and it tests nothing but how good at ending lives you are.

Which is a problem when you're picking future heroes.

“SuperCGA” and ATI Graphics Solution and GEM Desktop

8bit guy published a video about SuperCGA cards, which reminded me that this was a topic a recently dug into. I’ve never really worked with CGA/EGA monitors. When we had a computer at home for the first time in 1989, it was an IBM PS/2 Model 20 borrowed from dad’s office. That computer already had an on-board graphics chip that worked with VGA monitors. One year later, my family decided to buy our own computer. It was a 286 clone with an SVGA graphics card and an SVGA monitor able to show 1024×768 (interlaced though).

During the Bytefest (a vintage computer show in Czech Republic), one of the computers I brought there was an early Vienna 286. A friend of mine promised that he would have brought an EGA monitor, so I could try a card I bought just for this purpose – a Trident 8800CS (512KB). This Trident has both VGA and RGBI/TTL (CGA/EGA) outputs and can be switched to act like different IBM graphics chips. Sadly, the Trident card was ignoring the switches and always used VGA timing. It sent the signal always to both outputs but my EGA monitor was not able to sync 640×480 with 31kHz h-sync (as expected). We brought an oscilloscope, even made some modifications to the card, but nothing helped. When I asked in some groups, the only answer I got was that somebody tried the same thing on his Trident 8800CS with the same result.

Anyway, I also had the original ATI Graphics Solution card that was sold with the computer somewhere in 1987, so at least I had something else to play with. This is a very neat card. It has 64KB of video RAM and supports both CGA and Hercules modes. As I shown in the past, it even supports CGA modes on Hercules/MDA monitors using clever timing tricks. The card was used in the Hercules mode for the whole its life as the machine served in an electrical engineering lab for designing electric circuits. This was finally the time for me to switch it into the native CGA mode.

Seeing the CGA modes was not so interesting for me. However, the card supports also non-standard modes that can utilize the whole memory which is four times of what the IBM CGA has. The obvious choice was something that supports Plantronics ColorPlus which ATI supported like many other CGA-clone vendors. Yes, I tried Planet-X3 and Space Quest 3 in 320×200 with 16 colors. However, Planet-X3 is a modern game, and the Space Quest 3 uses a modern video driver to support this card (the original game did not have it). I was more interested in productivity apps. After seeing that GEM Desktop (sort of a Windows competitor) provides support for ColorPlus, I installed the whole bundle.

At the beginning, everything looked just like with CGA – black & white only. This was because the desktop environment does not use more colors there. On the other side, if I moved the mouse fast enough, it was visible that sometimes the cursor was ping instead of black for a moment. Thus, I knew that we were actually in the 4-color mode. After installing office programs, I was finally able to see all four colors in 640×200. Quickly after that I realized that among desktop accessories, there is a calculator that uses magenta as a background color. Anyway, I am happy that I also tried these office/productivity apps. From my point of view, they are gimmick. They look like they support everything but when you try to do something, you get the feeling that they were designed more to present the functionality of the desktop environment.

The ColorPlus had just 32KB of video RAM and my ATI Graphics Solution has 64KB, so it should be able to drive 640×200 in full 16 colors. I’ve checked the user guide for the card and indeed this mode was mentioned there. ATI manual says that there is support for it in AutoCAD, PC Paintbrush+, Lotus 1-2-3, Symphony and Framework II. I installed the PC Paintbrush+ as a bitmap editor can benefit the most from such a mode. The support for this card was built in the software so no extra drivers were needed. After selecting the mode, I was able to get the best out of a CGA 200-line monitor. What I really like, the bundled ATI driver disk contains a small example program to enable this mode (including its source code), so programmers could modify their own programs to get more than what a standard CGA offered.

Hi lovely!!!!!

For the song ask game!

7, 30, 22, 20!

Thank you, darling!!

7. Three songs you didn’t expect to like but eventually loved

This is also partially due to the fact that I wasn't interested in Arcane for a while, but eventually I gave it a shot and man, I loved the show! Then the song itself grew on me, too 😊

This is one my husband listened to (its a fan song for Hazbin Hotel) and I thought it was creepy at first. But then the more I heard it, I thought it was kinda catchy and it grew on me even before I later watched the show

This started out as more of a joke because of one line in this song that when I first heard it I went, "Wait.......WHAT?!?! Did I hear that right??" It plays in a movie I saw called Dancin' It's On (which is one of those "it's so bad, it's funny" movies) and I didn't take the song seriously, but then when I looked it up later, I actually really liked it! It's catchy and it sounds similar to other songs I like. Ironically enough, it ended up being my #1 played song on my Spotify Wrapped for 2023 😅🤣 There are alternate lyrics for the one line that made me do a double take, but even then, the line itself is just funny. If you wanna know what it is...give it a listen and I'm sure you'll catch it 😉😉

30. Three songs you really want your followers to know (for reasons other than all those above)

This Two Steps From Hell song is incredibly gorgeous and I seriously think everyone should hear it!!

This one is super beautiful and has very uplifting and inspiring lyrics. Some of them are a little strange, but it's only a couple of them. I've been listening to this one for years and it helps me a lot 💜

I've posted things from Gentri before and this song is my absolute FAVORITE of theirs! Very incredible melody and orchestral sound and the lyrics are also amazing and inspiring! This one gives me a lot of hope and love for life!

22. Three songs you listen to when you’re sad

This is my #1 go to when I'm sad because it's just impossible to be sad when listening to this. It just sounds like home to me 💜 even my husband knows playing this song when I'm sad or upset will help me and he'll play it for me often 🥰

I mean...need I say more? 😉🥰

This is the theme of my favorite character in my favorite anime, Fairy Tail 😊

20. Three songs that remind you of the person who sends this one

Gaaahh, I know we've shared songs before, but I can't think of any of them at the moment 😅😅

Because your profile picture is Toothless and this is the best piece of music from that movie 💜

I'm at my audio file limit now, so I'll just post the rest as hyperlinks 😝😝

"Valinor" from "Rings of Power"

We discussed this scene of Galadriel on the boat to Valinor the other day and how beautiful it was!

"May It Be" from "Lord of the Rings" by Enya

Because we both love Lord of the Rings 💜

Hi there! Since your requests are open can I request a matchup?

Preferably male demon/slayer B)

I'm 20 year old agender person and I use all pronous

I'm 5'9 feet tall, green eyes, medium brown hair to my shoulders with blonde ends and I am slightly chubby. I mostly wear masculine clothing with some punkish/metalhead accents like spiky bracelets and edgy t shirts.

My hobbies are mostly drawing, going out with friends, gaming and occasionally partying.

When it comes to my personality I'm very cold at first but I get comfortable and extroverted really fast. I am loud Overdramatic overtalker who likes to argue and debate from time to time (ENTP). I have slight anger problem and I am brutally honest which means I can be unlikeable when you first meet me. Im very cheerful and a "funny friend" to my loved ones, will protect them with my heart and hold grudges to anyone who makes them somehow upset. I also make a lot of dark humor jokes and I tease my friends which sometimes pisses them off.

My love language is mostly quality time/ physical touch but only with really close people to me

I'm demisexual which means I have to get an emotional connection with a Person before anything happens

Yo I hope it's enough info haha

I hope im not late

Take care :3

You got…Hantengu!

Honestly, your punk style looked very scary to him at first, you seemed like someone who would intimidate others or be generally unkind, but he was very surprised when you just called out to him asking if he needed help because he was shaking.

Later he found out in the late night you thought he was a lost old man, and not a demon, but the kindness of the action was still very touching after the many decades he had faced being 'attacked' by everyone around him.

You are very rough around the edges, but Hantengu appreciates that it isn't most often towards him. Even after you found out he was a demon, you seemed to just think it was cool more than bothersome and continued hanging around him when he wasn't on a mission.

It didn't take long to meet his clones, of which were far more akin to you. Karaku thought your style was 'sick as fuck' and would probably steal a spiked collar from you. Urogi enjoys your jokes and dark humour, which he shares very deeply and will sometimes get into contests with you about who can make the darkest joke.

Sekido and you tend to sit in deafening silence until he tries to speak which usually ends with you mocking him and him taking it seriously and ending up in a heated debate with you. He thinks you are very passionate, and on a few times has actually lost to you.

Aizetsu is much like Hantengu in that he appreciates when you stand up for him when the other clones poke at him, though he has gotten sombre if you ever aim your harsh words at him, he knows you don't mean it and tries to poke back the best he can.

They have all the time in the world to give you, and you can expect large cuddle piles with the group. You won't see the clones often, but Hantengu makes sure to take good care of you in their absence.

Authors Note - Hantengu is one of those characters I have a hard time matching people up with, btu when I read yours I knew INSTANTLY so I hope that says something! I get sad because I like Hantengu and his clones but so many ppl leave to ol;d guy out so I hope you like him as I do :[ Thank you for requesting!

For a few more things happening and they're interesting and exciting for us

-we're increasing manufacturing today the covid factory is will be roughly 98% recovered and we will be at about 50% new factories. A lot of people are trying to jump on the bandwagon and yeah or are we opening plants and the clones need them too and they're doing it and it is by popular demand. As well.

-the plants that make necessities are almost all fully operational again and we do mean refrigerators and freezers and other appliances included and things of that nature. Yes including automobiles and other machines that are required. To maintain a normal society

-we have a lot of other stuff that we're starting up now which is essential for our programs including food supply and food stores that will kick their bus leaving it feeds people properly and we're not afraid of that and these people have a terrible diet and does nothing for us except causes to hate them we are installing them shortly all over the world and there's no really deficit of dummies a lot of regular folks of theirs are have an IQ of 100 and are slow. We're not afraid of that. We are taking over many of the food distribution systems and grocery stores and will change over the products shortly within a few days

-also manufacturing vehicles and new ones and tons and tons of models one of the most successful vehicles that people are not mentioning is the Corvette, and newly the chrysler. And he's kind of like an average citizen middle class well that's how I grew up he doesn't have any money now but people who have that and really nowadays you have to make around 500 Grand or a million a year they would buy these up quicker than you can blank and they are a lot of them have a little less money and don't care about the kit but it's going to lead into the production model both of them are now made out of carbon fiber reinforced shortly metal we're making probably 700 million of each today and will be done by the end of the day and shipped out by early next week we expect to make about 20 billion each at the end of the week 1 trillion each and you going to see these cars and you'll see them here too they look a little different because we want to change the model they look lower and more radical and wider and they are faster a lot of people are very psyched and of course the Pantera which is the Bradley GT and we have of course modified that receiving more radical even though it's simpler it is much faster and will deliver people much more speed and horsepower we're going to release it as a mid-engine kit only it will compete with the Corvette and the Chrysler which we're also releasing as a mid-engine kit it's not that hard to fix and change and usually they call up a friend and they get it done and people start building these everywhere and they want to do that kind of thing it's a huge idea and it's going forwards

-another thing that's going on we are experiencing huge influxes of Chinese motorcycles especially the Chao yang and that's the name of it it is by Chow fat and he's here to clarify we also have a number of other Chinese motorcycles coming in and it's all the regular brand names however the x-pro Templar that's a weird name they named it and said her son helped any sort of did they took the sign stuff from other things and it is a real machine this is going to tear it up and can compete they're going to see it on the circus he sent emails requesting an Enduro and they didn't get it but they got it later on it's like well we can't really write them the road but you clean house if you did and they're saying you said it and they said what do we do and they said we make them so they're making them now and they're going to kick some ass they're going to sell more of this than anything and send this other company is trying to tag along and it made him mad so now they're doing it these things are in Motocross already in the amateur level and they beat everybody in every race. The Spock exercise right the power is delivered right the nobbies are big and aggressive the shocks are large the engine is tucked up nicely so it doesn't hit anything and it is forwards which is different and helps it's like a mid engine configuration it handles better there's more happening a lot more cars and we're going to get to it in a moment

Thor Freya

Olympus

We need to talk for a longer period of time to get stuff done it's kind of difficult for him at times so I'm going to have to start being more sensitive

Seed banks built biodiversity even with environmental change

CLAREMONT, Calif. - With a changing climate causing outrageous weather patterns - like California's uncontrollable rapidly spreading fires and Arizona's unrelenting dry spell - certain species that have been on the termination list are being allowed a subsequent opportunity through seed banks.

In excess of 1,000 seed banks are situated across the globe, 20 of them in the US, attempting to protect delicate biological systems that are turning out to be less different as the planet warms. While specific banks just represent considerable authority in their local species, a few banks store seeds from everywhere the world.

California Botanic

The bank at the California Botanic Nursery in Claremont, which is protecting the qualities of in excess of 6,000 types of seeds, likewise has other living organic entities and participates in more extensive preservation endeavors, for example, vegetation planning and checking uncommon plants.

The work matters to the overseer of protection programs at California Botanic Nursery, Naomi Fraga, a botanist who spends significant time in plant preservation and floristics.

"Contemplating the eradication emergency and worldwide change, there is the potential that we can lose many plant populaces sooner rather than later," Fraga said. "What's more, truth be told we realize we have populaces in here that are really terminated in nature. Not entire species, but rather populaces that never again exist. Thus those materials address something totally indispensable."

Seeds are put away as a reinforcement strategy so various assortments inside an animal types are accessible some place on the planet and can be developed or once again introduced into the wild anytime.

"Each seed addresses an unmistakable hereditary individual," Fraga said. "Furthermore, they're for the most part little, so you can squeeze billions of hereditarily unmistakable people into a moderately little space and store enormous measures of hereditary variety."

"Presently in agribusiness, they're not simply zeroing in on the particular sorts of cultivars that are developed to create food, but on the other hand they're seed-banking crop wild family members," she said. "For example, the banana is a genuine illustration of a harvest that is going towards eradication, in view of a parasitic microorganism."

At the point when a parasitic illness contaminated the cherished Gros Michel banana and nearly cleared out the whole species during the 1950s, the business changed to another banana species, the Cavendish. Since bananas are developed from proliferation and are hereditary clones, there is a concern that Cavendish bananas will face the same outcome as Gros Michel.

"On the off chance that we're not support up the world's variety of bananas, there will be no bananas to eat from here on out," Fraga said. "So we can't simply zero in on the food that we devour now. We need to ponder their wild family members since that is the wellspring of future hereditary variety that individuals should pull from for us to do edit improvement."

Despite the fact that support up intriguing plants is significant, the objective among seed banks is assembling and safeguarding however much hereditary variety as could be expected. What's more, perhaps one day, whole environments.

Since banking seeds for biodiversity has just been drilled inside the beyond 100 years, how long seeds can be put away isn't completely perceived. In any case, researchers in all actuality do have a comprehension on why seeds answer various sorts of capacity, and they're making more revelations consistently.

Cheryl Birker is the seed preservation program supervisor at the California Botanic Nursery, described one incidental disclosure.

While putting a few assortments of seeds through chilly separation - an activity to fool seeds into sprouting - the cooler failed and the racks tumbled down, which combined the seeds as one.

Albeit the seeds weren't sprouting a long time before the mishap, the examples began to develop. Botanists found that this range of species lean toward having an actual unsettling influence.

"We'll do germination tests to attempt to get on the off chance that any of our (banked) species are biting the dust," Birker said, "and we would make arrangements either to remember, we could establish them in the nursery and make a second-age seed assortment or think of different means in the event that we're truly finding this species doesn't appear to live away by any stretch of the imagination. We'd need to think of another action, as perhaps having a living assortment in the nursery."

At times, researchers luck out and track down very much protected examples in nature. In 2012, researchers had the option to bring back Silene stenophylla on the grounds that antiquated Siberian squirrels had put away a few berries of the blossoming plant quite a while back. Since models like this exist in the wild, researchers are hopeful that seed banks will be a hindrance that gets biodiversity and makes food security.

To guarantee biodiversity is never lost, the California Botanic Nursery sends assortments of seeds to the Public Research center for Hereditary Assets Protection in Post Collins, Colorado. In spite of the fact that seed banks attempt to keep local seeds put away locally, the professional flowerbed shares their assortments to save seed tests in the event that flames, floods or different catastrophes strike.

History

The nursery has cooperated with not-for-benefit bunch California Plant Salvage and different associations to team up on protection endeavors, developments and test gathering.

Botanists take extraordinary measures to assemble seeds in the field, which can be deceptive. Regions are much of the time remote without any paths or streets, and unsound weather conditions can make conditions perilous. There's no assurance that the assortment will find success by the same token.

"Interesting plants are uncommon for an explanation," she said. "They could have regenerative issues, so we could get like 100 seeds one year. So that implies we really want to attempt once more in different years to attempt to get sufficient seed where we have an adequate assortment that we feel is illustrative of the populace."

Authorities would rather not upset the climate or cause more damage than great. That is the reason rules are set up to ensure that seed extraction is productive and feasible.

"We have broad conventions to streamline gathering the hereditary variety present at the site," Fraga said. "We're just gathering an example of plants, so we can't gather seeds from each and every person. Also, we just gather under 10% of the all out seed creation since we would rather not gather excessively and hurt the regular populace."

Land improvement for lodging and business interests likewise assumes a part in the deficiency of biodiversity in normal biological systems, which is the reason California has numerous limitations to assist species with making due. However, escape clauses in those assurances have placed further tension on currently delicate populaces.

Birker described the miserable truth behind Linanthus maculatus, an uncommon blossoming spice tracked down 10 years prior in Ocotillo, California, close to the boundary with Mexico.

"They found a populace in a space that was scheduled for far off improvement," she said, "but since it was a plant that had not been depicted at this point and not recorded on any uncommon plant list, they didn't need to stop their work. Thus they felt free to destroy and set up these colossal breeze turbines, and tragically, that undertaking was not exceptionally effective."

The breeze ranch has a grieved history, including a few turbine breakdowns - most as of late in September, as detailed by neighborhood occupants and media sources.

Albeit the California Botanic Nursery banked a couple of tests of Linanthus maculatus, its predicament gives a genuine illustration of the fact that horrible a wild plant population is so natural.

"We never know when future advances could come," Fraga said, "and how we could possibly figure out how to more readily reestablish populaces. At the point when you don't have anything, you don't have anything. Yet, to have the seeds and seed banks, it's some kind of insurance contract that those hereditary people are addressed some place, and can be possibly developed and presented eventually."

Seed banks all over the planet, what share data with each other, are acting to encourage biodiversity in normal biological systems. To captivate additional assistance from general society, some seed banks have chances to support assortments through gifts.

Interfacing with nearby seed banks is an incredible asset for anybody needing to assist with protecting organic variety.

"It simply adds to kind of the information gathering about existence and it adds to how we might interpret biodiversity," Fraga said. "We're supporting our wagers, thinking, consider the possibility that this large number of populaces go terminated.

I’m bored so instead of doing 30days I’m going to answer this now because I’m bored-

1) Anakin Skywalker, but I can’t really choose just one favorite.

2) Ezra Bridger, I love that blueberry cinnamon roll so much

3) Kallus or Thrawn. Kallus changed sides at the end but his one of my favorites, and Thrawn is just a amazing villain. He studies his enemy, down to cultural stuff.

4) it would be unfair to pick Anakin again so this ones goes to Obi-Wan, our favorites negotiator.

5) R2-D2, he is best droid, in every single appearance, his hilarious and sassy even in Binary

6) guessing this mean like- flying ship- and it’s going to the Millennium Falcon because that piece of junk is iconic

7) Dooku or Assaj, both are really interesting to me, I loved seeing Ventress story and I’m excited to explore Dooku’s in Tales of the Jedi.

8) Return of the Jedi, is amazing and has a satisfying ending. Vader redemption + Badass Luke. The Ewok’s are adorable, Han and Leia relationship is everything, Luke and Leia relationship as well. 10/10

9) Revenge of the Sith. It my favorite over all movie. I loved seeing Anakin’s fall, his relationship with Padme and Obi-Wan, the fall of the republic, the birth of Darth Vader. Everything is amazing, and don’t get me started on the Duel on Mustafar.

10) He is just so precious I can’t-

11) I warn y’all- BATTLE OF MUSTAFAR- Iconic, one of the best duels- Props to Ewan and Hayden to learning this iconic moment and all the trainers. They anticipate each others moves from the teacher spent together, there is so much anger, hate and pain. The cinematography is fantastic that when I watched it I was just awestruck. Every single moment from beginning to end is amazing, the choreography is amazing, the acting is amazing. 10/10

12) Anakin and Obi-Wan during the Battle Over Coruscant. From start to end. I loved seeing there banter and how you can see the years of relationship and fighting together. I wished a lot of the deleted scenes were kept because it would be even funnier.

13) this is hard because their is so many good options. But I have to go with either “This is where the fun Begins” or “I have the High-Ground” because I loved playing those scenes out in my room

14) there is a lot of scenes that make me Happy, So is hard to pick. So instead- going with one that constantly makes me laugh. Clone Wars, S3ep18, when they’re trying to escape and the magnet thing goes off and all their weapons go up- I always laugh at Anakin getting beamed up because is something nobody expected and It’s just hilarious to me

15) Any moment of Order 66, every-time is mentioned or I have to relieve it, I constantly hate it because it absolutely breaks me. It’s so sad and depressing and then you see everybody who survived it living with the trauma- is just horrible

16) I don’t have much but Ima just show one thing- My funko’s

17) Probably the Duel of the Fates moment. Great battle and we get to see the start of the Sith and Obi-Wan starting to become to character he is.

18) Obi-Wan and Anakin VS Dooku. We really get to see how powerful Dooku is while fighting two skilled Jedi as if nothing and later fighting his former master and getting away. Also you get to see the growth of Anakin and Obi-Wan later for ROTS

19) Hard choice between the battle on Mustafar or The Battle over Coruscant. But I think I have to go with the latter.

20) Blowing up the Death Star + Han coming in to help. Is just the best scene for me

21) All I have to say, Vader reveal

22) Vader Redemption + self sacrifice. Also getting to see Force Ghost Anakin

23) I wish that instead of Padme rushing over to Anakin after they fought Dooku in AOTC it was just him and Obi-Wan. Because Obi-Wan has to be worry for him! His Padawan just lost his arm! I wish we saw that instead of Padme rushing in. In other words, I wanted what we saw in “Galaxy Adventure”

24) Palpatine. I get that’s the whole point but everytime I see him or his mention in anything I get so angry and quietly cuss him out. (No hate towards the actors at all-)

25) I haven’t read any yet, but I do have Rogue Planet that ima read soon so-

26) “Hello There” is just the best line-

27) “do or so not, there is no try”

28) “don’t choke on your aspirations” My dude did the best dad joke-

29) I don’t know is this really count but- best memory for me is getting to watch all the movies and some of the series with my older brother. His the once who convinced me to watch Star Wars and is now another thing we can bond over.

30) Is just something to iconic and fun. I can constantly re-watch and never get bored- and there is still new things happening. Most characters are incredibly written and the story building is amazing.

theres so many time travel fics where luke, rey, hell, even revan or some other Wise Jedi Pupil time travels to the clone wars. but i wanna see everyone in the original trilogy crew EXCEPT luke (or any jedi) show up on coruscant in the middle of TCW like “what in the back to the future is this shit”

think leia, han, chewie, and lando just fucking around trying to keep the world from going to shit

and theres SO MUCH CHAOS.

leia’s trying to bullshit her way through why she looks so much like padme, with anakins temper, but is also weirdly, intimately familiar with alderaan and its customs

even though bail organa has no idea who this spicy feral politician child is or why she started crying when she first saw him

leia also probably has to be physically restrained the first time she sees anakin

han somehow gets tangled up with Young Boba Fett and that’s a whole issue- theres lot of explosions

(he probably stops that whole deal with the child trafficking and gets a reward from the republic or smth, which he wont stop talking about)

chewie finds ahsoka, somehow, and she recognizes him and is like “YOOO WHAT UP ITS MY HUNGER GAMES BUDDY”

and chewie is now hanging out with a teenager who thinks they met last week when really for him it was like 20 years ago.

this is how they meet up with the jedi and co.

and its awkward

leia is standing there seething, things floating in the air around her and she wont stop giving anakin the stink eye

while han (who is currently trying to mingle with the young version of that old dude luke was super attached to, so please dont ruin it, leia) just fake laughs and wraps his arm around her and whispers sweet nothings in her ear

chewie is having a blast freaking out the clones by just randomly roaring in their ears as they walk by

rex is ready to curl up in a ball because now his ship is even more chaotic

lando flirts with every jedi he meets Just Because

they tagged along to fight w the clones and jedi in a battle because what else do they have to do

and everyone is expecting them to all get killed because, i mean, have you met them?

and this little ragtag group ends up CARRYING the battle and its over very quickly

they decided to use Espionage and Sneaking to break into the separatist base and destroy it

chewie probably vaulted leia over a wall and she just fucked shit up

later, anakin offhandedly mentions palpatine and leia blurts out “if i see that old raisin, its on sight” and everyone is like o.O

luke is in the future wondering how THE FUCK hes supposed to fix this

Okay since no one is talking about it I will. I think there is a whole another layer of messed up when looking at the whole Grimwalker situation. So let me explain:

So far we don’t have too much information on the whole Grimwalker process and how Belos even found out it was possible in the first place. So you may be wondering! What could make this crusty puritan wrinkly balls old man even worse? Well, it’s the fact that he likely raised each and every golden guard from “ birth “ and then watched them die when they ended up betraying him. And I use betray lightly, however, I’m going to come back to that later.

So far we can assume that there as been over 15 versions of the golden guard/clones of Philip’s brother. This means he raised 20 children himself,( to make things simpler I’m going to round up and assume that all made it to or close to adulthood ) Because the Emperor’s coven was only established 50 years before the start of the show that means that before he became emperor he was taking personal care of/looking after each clone. So you can’t really say that he was just pushing them onto someone else and only taking an interest within them once they became old to enough to be useful. It’s common sense, by making himself the only adult/parental figure in their lives, he would be alienating the clones and making them solely loyal and dependent on him due to them not knowing any different.

He had to be something to them. How many stories did he tell of a broken or dead family, how many lies did he tell of who he was to them? An older brother? A father, distant relative, maybe an uncle? There had to be some emotion attachment, some bond that tied them together apart from isolation. Otherwise why would the clones stay loyal? Inklings of kindness, of course, only when they did something right, something that pleased him, after-all, he was family and he took them in out of his grace.

It’s the fact he likely named all of them, held them, took care of them, taught them. This is not me trying to portray Belos in a sympathetic light, but only to demonstrate how much a horrible monster he is. Because even if they were his family, that was never enough to save them from the tortured fates they met at his hands. Someone who was supposed to love them unconditionally, at the bare minimum care for them in some capacity, ended each and every life he made.

And this made me wonder, what did the clones do to make Belos think they deserved such fates? How did Belos come to suddenly decide this, and not only do it once, but over and over again? I think back to what the Collector said, about how Belos probably likes to destroy them. What if he was looking for an excuse to kill them? To take out in built up resentment and anger upon them over small transgressions? This leads me to this:

Belos was likely using each one as a replacement for his brother, trying, over and over again to create the perfect version of him. However, none of them met his expectations. He wanted the perfect brother who wouldn’t betray him, the one he remembered, and they didn’t fit. So when the time was right he found an excuse to kill them off, replace them with another and try again. Even if he did raise them, nurture them, he murdered them all in cold blood. The clones probably loved Belos, or at least cared for him deeply, and in more dark sense, saw him as their father.

So essentially the part that makes the Hollow Mind reveal entirely all the worse was that Belos was essentially the only parental figure/father figure in their lives and raised all of the Golden Guard clones by himself to adulthood, only to later slaughter them every time.

Sorry if this doesn’t make sense, this is just some of my thoughts strewn together incoherently but I just wanted to point this out. Also I didn’t see anyone talking about this. So just to emphasize the point. Dusty Puritan Bitch basically killed all of his kids repeatedly.

#toh #the owl house #toh belos #toh philip #toh hunter #grimwalker #the golden guard #analysis I guess??#I hope Belos goes to the human realm and gets hit by a bus just like the end of the smurfs movie #hollow mind #toh season 2

Chapter 13: Waste of Time

It wasn't your fault. It really wasn't! You had just done, what your parents always had told you to do - fight for what you believed was right and stand up for others. Which was exactly what you had done. How were you supposed to know that the bastard's dad was a senator? If he didn't want to get decked, he shouldn't have made those comments. You did nothing wrong.

And yet, here you were, on a shuttle heading to your dads apartment on Kamino. Working for the Republic, he had managed to pull some strings so that you could avoid prison. He had even made sure that if you managed to stay out of trouble, none of this would go on your permanent record.

Your dad had worked for the Republic for a long time. And when the war started, he was moved to Kamino to help out there. With what exactly? You had no idea. But it was important enough that he needed to be on call all 27 hours of the day, everyday. So, you hadn't really seen him for the past 3 years. And you barely heard from him. You had gotten a quick "Congrats" message, when you had graduated. That was about it. And then you were arrested for assaulting a senators son, and then you were told you were heading to Kamino to live with your dad, and then...

You felt tears starting to dwell up in your eyes, and your body began shaking. You were less than an hour away from your new home, and with each passing second you felt the anxiety and anger building up inside of you. It wasn't fair. You didn't want to see him. He had abandoned you. And now, he was making you live on some stupid military facility. You wanted to scream, to hit something, to throw a fit. But you couldn't. All you could do was sit still in this stupid shuttle and feel your anxiety grow, as you were heading to the last place in the galaxy you wanted to be.

"Welcome home, miss." You were greeted by a small service droid, an LEP-series if you were not mistaken. "I am L4-213, also known as Lazie. You have arrived sooner than anticipated, so the master will unfortunately not join you until much later. I have been tasked to escort you to your room, and take care of your needs."

"Riiiight," you just mutter, clutching your bag to you as you follow the droid. Of course dad wasn't going to be here. Why had you ever expected - no, hoped - for something else?

You let your eyes roam the hallways, the bright lights and white interior was almost painful to look at, especially after hours on a dark shuttle. A slight shiver ran down your back, it all felt so cold. No colors, only a few personal items and everything else was just, white and bright. It felt more like a hospital than a home, and it definitely didn't help with your already overwhelming anxieties.

You hadn't noticed the small droid stopping, so you accidentally bumped into it, causing it to tumble over. "Ooof, sorry!" you quickly said, and helped it back onto it's legs. "It is quite alright. I am not programmed to feel pain," Lazie assured you, before turning back to face the door. "This will be your room. We have already transported your belongings to it, so it should be easy to make yourself at home. Please do not hesitate to ask for anything you might need." And with that, the small bunny-looking droid ran off to somewhere else.

The room couldn't possible feel any less like home. It used to be an office, evident by the huge desk in the middle of the already rather small space. A bed had been placed far to the side against a wall, and the shelves had been cleared out for you. It was obviously all done very rushed. All of your belongings were still in boxes and bags, making the room seem impossibly even smaller. The only thing that somewhat made it appear more spacious was the huge window that covered an entire wall.

With a heavy 'thump' the bag you had been carrying hit the floor in sync with your sigh. You felt the burning of tears in your eyes again. You were contiplating whether or not you wanted to take a shower in hopes of washing away the long trip and all your worries, or if you just wanted to head straight to bed and get this day over with. But, before you could even decide, the door behind you whooshed open.

"Who are you?"

You had barely even processed the door opening, before the strange voice demanded to know your identity. You turned around to be met with a couple of accusatory eyes behind some googles. Even though the stranger was wearing armor, he couldn't possibly be a clone. You had seen clones before, plenty of times, and he definitely didn't look like one. And although you had never seen a kaminoan in real life, you were also pretty sure he wasn't one of those either.

You realised that you had just been staring at this stranger, rather than answering his question. Wait. He just appeared in your room. So why was he asking about who you were? He patted his empty blaster holster, before letting out an annoyed grunt. He hadn't taken his eyes off of you at any point, since entering the room, but he hadn't said anything else either. He was just standing there, looking angrily at you, waiting for your reponse. You just responded by returning the angry look. The stranger then brought his forearm closer to his mouth, while pressing down a botton.

"Sir, it appears a stranger has somehow gotten into your apartment." he adjustes his googles before continueing, "Human female, young adult." His eyes seemed to be looking at something you couldn't see, something on his googles. Wait, was he scanning you?

Static could be heard from what you assumed was a comlink, before your dads voice suddenly sprung to life. "What? Oh, oh, wait, shoot! No, don't shoot! Don't shoot! That's my daughter! Wait, what time is it? Eh, just wait right there, I will be there shortly!" He sounded... disoriented? Tired? When was the last time he had gotten a break from this job?

"I couldn't possible shoot her, even if I wanted to. I left my guns with you," the stranger replied, his tone a lot lighter by now. Actually, all of him seemed much lighter. His eyes weren't fixed angrily on you any longer, and his posture was way more relaxed. The call ended, and the stranger shifted his weight onto one leg, while resting his hand on his hip. "So, you're Laquan's daughter. Why didn't you just say so right away?"

"Because a stranger just randomly walked into my room... Ever heard of knocking?" your voice was hostile. You were on the verge of breaking down, but kept fighting it off for as long as possible.

"Well, in my defense, this used to be an office and I was tasked with receiving some blueprints." He said, as if it should've been obvious to you.

"Well, in my defense, this is now my room and I just arrived here and yoU'RE INTRUDING!" shoot, your voice was cracking and it didn't go unnoticed by the stranger.

He reached a hand out with a somewhat apologetic look in his eyes. He opened his mouth to say something, but you lunged at him before he could do so. You used all the strength you could muster to push him out, and for the first time that day, you felt fortunate as he didn't resist or fight back. He just let himself stumble back out of the room.

You had screamed something at him. You didn't know what. You heard the front door open and your dad yell barely a fragment of a second before you screamed. You then slammed your fist against the control panel, closing the door to your room in process.

You slid down against the wall to the floor. The tears that you had been fighting for days could no longer be held back. It was all too much. It wasn't your fault. It really wasn't.

No future with a boy like this - F.W

Summary: Fred disappoints you more than once, giving you no other choice, you had to let him go.

Warnings: ANGSTY, cursing, implied sex very briefly, FLUFF AT THE END

A/N: my firsts time writing angst and I really don’t know if i was overdramatic or not enough dramatic lol please give feedback

April- 1996 - Hogwarts

Y/n was waiting on the tribune next to the quidditch field. It was already getting darker now. An orange glow spreading over the field. The sun was going down already. She was sitting there for two hours now.

She promised herself she would stop waiting after an hour but here she was, still hoping he would show up.

It was her birthday, it was her fucking birthday. And this wasn't the first time. It started with little dates, he forgot them sometimes but y/n didn't mind, he made it up every time.

He hurt her by forgetting those things all the time. But it was Fred Weasley after all. You knew this was coming when he became your boyfriend. You even got used to it. He was always busy. That's just how Fred is.

And here she was again. Trying to not let the tears of disappointment fall down on her cheeks. She felt miserable and decided to finally call it a night, going back to her dorm. She was exhausted.

Walking down the corridors, she saw Fred. He was just sitting there, laughing with George. That's when it was clear, he wasn't even late, he just forgot.

He saw her and smiled, walking her way, but she turned on her heals immediately. "Y/n!" he screamed confused. He followed her and his long legs made it easy to catch up.

She didn't answer, finding it much harder to hold back her tears now. "Y/n? Hey? What's wrong?" he asked.

Y/n stopped abruptly. "You really don't know?" she hissed.

A confused look formed on his face. "What do you mean"? he stammered. A tear fell down her cheek and his face was full of guilt now, without even knowing what he did.

"You forgot", you snapped, "again!"

He was thinking for one minute. It really took him one minute. What was wrong with that boy?!

Suddenly a wave of realization hit him. "Fuck." he squealed.

Y/n didn't need this shit right now, and ran away before he could say something. Making him run after her. "NO y/n wait! I'm so sorry, I won't forget next time, I promise, I'm so sorry" he begged while grabbing her arm, pulling her closer to him.

"You say that every time Fred" she sighed, another tear fell down.

It broke Fred's heart. It really did. He didn't mean to forget this things, he didn't want to hurt you. His mind was just so full all the time. So many things were going on in those brains of his.

"I mean it, I'm sorry, I love you y/n" he assured.

And she fell for it, like she always did. It happened every time. Fred said things that made her melt, and she forgave him. It was nothing new. Because how could she not? The sweet boy didn't mean to hurt her, she knew that, everyone knew that.

But still, her friends warned her. There was no future with a boy like this. It couldn't stay like this. So she swore to herself this was the last time. She made that clear to Fred too.

Because what if he's the love of her life? Her future? This was her last year after all, y/n’s future was right in front of her. What if Fred was her future? You both couldn't give that up.

May- 1996 - Hogwarts

Everything was alright.

They were okay.

And Fred hasn’t been late for a whole month, sounds like nothing special but to him and her it was.

This weekend y/n was going home, and not just home, but with Fred.

After a year it was time for him to meet her parents. Fred claimed he was the perfect son in law, so he didn’t hesitate to agree. Y/n was nervous and excited at the same time.

Ready in her dorm, with a portkey, she had her favourite sundress on. She was waiting for Fred but he didn’t show up. Okay it was only 15 minutes now, but with their little history it made her nervous. She was absolutely sure Fred wouldn’t forget this. He can’t forget this.

20 minutes later she was still waiting.

No. This couldn’t be true. It just couldn’t be.

And then, she found a note under her potionsbook. After reading only one word, she was already furious, a growing heat filling her cheeks.

Dear y/n, love

I remembered. I swear. But I just won’t make it. I’m not feeling okay and I think I might have a fever or something. I don’t want to make you or your parents sick, so I’m staying in my dorm.

I love you, kisses Fred x

She didn’t really know what to think. She was so disappointed, again.

But she could’t blame her boyfriend for feeling sick. Although she had her doubts, what if this wasn’t true, maybe he lied because he did forget it?

No, no, she had to trust him. Fred wouldn’t lie to her. So she grabbed the portkey and went to visit her parents.

Alone.

When she traveled back to Hogwarts it was late already, past midnight. Y/n hoped Umbridge wouldn’t catch her.

The corridors were empty, completely silent. This was not unusual. Most of the students were already asleep this late on a Sunday.

Unexpectedly, she heard gigles and laughs coming from around the corner. Did it come from the library? It couldn’t be. Not at almost 1 am.

She went closer to listen. Y/n placed her ear on the door. Was it... Was it...? No. No.

Did she hear Fred’s voice?

She really hoped she was just imagining this. Maybe she should trust Fred more.

But just checking won’t hurt right?

So she tried to open the door. It was locked.

“Alohamora” she whispered.

What she saw broke her heart into a million pieces.

Angelina sat on a table, with Fred extremely close to her, giggling. George and Lee were there too.

She couldn’t believe her own eyes. Looking silently in Fred’s shocked ones.

“Fuck” he sighed. “Y/n-“ he tried.

But she cut him off before he could say anything. “No, I don’t wanna hear another silly explanation from you, it’s enough, I don’t want to see you ever again” she screamed with tears in her eyes, making her vision blurry.

Y/n ran away, faster than ever so Fred couldn’t catch up this time.

“Stop!! Stop!” she heard him scream behind her.

She ran and ran, not even knowing were to.

“Let me explain” another scream followed.

That’s when she ended up in a corridor she didn’t know. A dead end. Ofcourse.

She gave up and stopped. Fred ended in front of her, breathing loudly, trying to catch his breath.

“Baby I-“ he tried

“Don’t call me baby, this is over” y/n cut him off.

Fred was speachless, for the first time in history. He didn’t realise this truly happened. He knew what he did wasn’t okay, but he never expected her to actually broke up with him. It just didn’t occur in his mind this was a possibility.

“But.. but...” he stuttered. “I swear, I can explain, what you’ve just seen, it wasn’t what you think it is. I’ve told you about the shoppe George and I want to open, right? It’s actually going to happen. We’re leaving hogwarts. That’s what we were doing, we were planning things. Tomorrow we’re going to blow up Umbridge, no not literally blow up, but with lots of firework! And then we’re going to open the shoppe together. It’s my dream y/n!” he rambled excited.

Y/n sighed. Understanding why he did this, but it didn’t change a thing.

“That actually makes things worse Fred. I’m happy your dream will come true. But you’re leaving and I’m finishing my year. When are you going to have time for me if you run a shop? You didn’t even have time for me now.” she cried.

Both of them were crying now. Knowing the break up was really going to happen. Fred wanted to keep fighting. But he knew she might be right.

A little sob left his mouth, something he never did before. She was right. He truly loved her but he couldn’t give her the happy future she deserved. He wasn’t right for her, he didn’t treat her the way she should’ve been treated. And the idea broke him. And that’s when she walked away.

They didn’t see each other again afterwards.

The next day, y/n laid in her bed when she heard fireworks, knowing what happened. She couldn’t go outside and watch...

Happy screams and laughs filled the castle. And that’s when she realised Fred and George were gone now. It was reality now. They won’t come back. Although a little part of her hoped they would stay. A little part of her thought Fred would come to her, begging her to stay with him. But she guessed he just didn’t love her enough.

After all the times Fred broke her heart, she was kind off used to it. But those heartbreaks couldn’t ever overcome this one.

August - 1996 - Diagon Alley

The summer was almost over, y/n graduated two months ago. The heartbreak still hurted but she was better now. She still didn’t know what to do now that she’s graduated.

Hermione decided you two had to go shopping. “It’ll make you happier” she stated like it was an actual fact. Y/n couldn’t say no of course.

Y/n’s breath hitched. A big clone of Fred’s face right in front of her (or George). This had to be their joke shoppe. God, it was more impressive than she expected. Guess you should never underestimate the twins.

“Let’s go inside y/n!” Hermione announced excited, grabbing her arm trying to puch her inside.

“Oh no no no no no, I don’t think that’s a great idea” she hesitated.

“Don’t worry, it’s so busy, Fred won’t see you” she promised her. Y/n sighed. She really didn’t want to go inside. She’d love to see the shoppe, but seeing Fred...

Whatever, it was true. It was so busy so Fred won’t ever notice her.

They entered, y/n was surprised, it was wonderful. Fred and George must have worked so hard to get to this point. God, she loved the place.

It brought back memories. All those joke products, most of them were used on her, she remembered. Fred thought it was hilarious to prank her literally all the time, being proud because it was something he invented himself. She couldn’t be mad about it, it made him so happy.

The place even smelled like him.

Y/n took a deep breath trying to gather all of the smell, in hope it would stay in her nose, so she could remember it back home.

She closed her eyes and imagined how it could be, if they didn’t broke up. How she would probably come here everyday to say hi, how she would watch Fred all day doing his job.

And then... she saw him. In his uniform, he stood there proudly on the stairs above her. Smiling happily, seeing all those laughing people because if his work.

He was happy. Fred missed y/n but he was happy. He thought a lot of all the things he did wrong. Although he didn’t really have time to worry.

Y/n sighed, it’s been months. Her heart was glowing inside her chest. She didn’t even feel sad any more. This was what her boyfriend always dreamt of. Her ex-boyfriend.

She turned around deciding it was not smart to look at the beautiful boy, the boy who still made her knees go weak.

Fred’s smell was more vibrant than before now. Almost like he was right in front of me.

Ow, love potions, of course.

Of course she still smelled Fred in it.

“I smell honey, flowers and vanilla soap” she heard a familiar voice whispering in her ear, almost making her jump.

“F-fred, hey” she stuttered, in shock by the fact he’s standing right in front of her.

“You look great, changed your hair” he smiled. It was true, y/n cut her hair a little shorter and decided to give it a lighter colour for the summer. The typical breakup haircut.

“Fred do you want to... talk... please?” she asked, knowing it wasn’t a great idea. She wanted to just run away after she realized what she said.

“We could go upstairs, talk in my appartment”

October- 1996 - Diagon Alley

“Come on darling, George opened up already!” Fred screamed running through his kitchen while jumping, trying to get his pants on. He grabbed an apple as breakfast.

Y/n ran to the kitchen too. “I thought you changed the being late thing” y/n joked, yes they joked about it now.

“You were the one holding me up this time” he smiled adding a wink. “You just can’t resist me in the bedroom” y/n answered daring.

She grabbed him by his collar, pressing a kiss on his lips. “I have no choice with the sexiest girlfriend in the word” Fred grinned, pressing kisses all over your face, making you giggle.

“Baby, you’re wearing your uniform backwards” he laughed.

Y/n worked at the shoppe now too.

When she asked Fred to talk, they actually talked for hours. They talked about what went wrong in their relationship, about what they had been doing in those months they broke up, talked about how they still had feelings,...

And after two hours they made up. Both being happier than ever, deciding they learned from their break up.

Fred asked her to come live in his apartment and work in their shop too. Y/n didn’t hesitate for a moment. She designed their boxes or packages and talked to costumers. But most of all she distracted Fred by rolling her uniforme skirt up and bowing down to ‘grab’ something. Sometimes he took her back to the appartment because he couldn’t hold back anymore.

Y/n now knew, the breakup was necessary. You both learned. And now you’re happier than ever.

Because after all, Fred was your future.

I'm loving your thoughts on the hlvrai characters! Can i ask your thoughts on Forzen for the ask game?

YEA I FUCKING LOVE FORZEN HE'S SO FUNNYYYYY also i love that they had scorpy double up sjfdljasdf like rtvs is a pretty big crew they couldn't find?? ONE other person?????

FAV CANON TRAIT: alright so there's lots of ways to interpret forzen and i know that "someThing like benrey" & "old enough to be shipped with other characters" are popular but they're not my favorite bc taking him at face value is just. so amusing to me. SO my fave trait is: he just wants to graduate!!!!!

sure maybe he's an older student but my first thought was 'COLLEGE??? this man's a BOY?????' like i am a year out from 30 (yay!) and let me tell you there's leagues of difference between who a person is at 20 vs a decade later. 20 is a KID. he's only just stepping into adulthood and he's fucking HERE, at black mesa? not just in the military (YIKES, not good for anyone, but the draw of a college education and upward mobility can be really tempting) but in the middle of an alien invasion?? and then his entire team dies and he STILL puts himself directly at odds against the bizarro super murderous science team??? and then has the guts to fucking try to talk his way out of it with BEYBLADES, and that WORKS???? and then he somehow kidnaps the immortal dog of the most murderous guy on the team (who also was the one most swayed by said beyblades) and has the chance to try to negotiate for himself... only he can't even articulate what it is that he wants?????????? honey u could have just gone home. the military's dead and gone man i don't think they're all that concerned about ur college education rn

this young man's only got a fraction of an idea of what's going on, but dammit he's got guts and he's gonna give it his all anyways!!... and then his all goes so, so badly. god, how silly. how wonderful. unstoppable object but it has no idea what direction it's supposed to be going so it just goes in circles and doesn't end up doing any damage whatsoever.

LEAST FAV CANON TRAIT: why why WHY does he speak french. he's canonically the last surviving member of the UNITED STATES military, not canada's so why does he speak french why would he do it in the middle of a hostage situation why pLEASE

FANON PET PEEVE: this is not quite a pet peeve but i do laugh every time i see it: there seems to be a lot of post canon domestic-y art that just... ignores him? forgets him? actively excludes him? like the whole crew will be there, the science team and benrey and sunkist and the g-man and darnold, and everyone's alllllll happy and together and forzen is just. never even mentioned, at all

why?? cuz he was a boot boy? benrey is some kinda effed up space god thing, bubby sold gordon out to the military, coomer tried to kill him with 300 clones, the g-man fucked around with gordon's life for the sake of his son's bday party. they've all done terrible things but they all get to be part of a happy, hopeful ending. and all we know for certain that forzen did is be part of a truly shitty organization (and, um, hold a dog hostage... but come on, sunkist was in no real danger), which to me doesn't seem like enough to exclude him from like. a future with happiness?

post canon domestic stories are about forgiveness, aren't they? they're about making up for what happened and finding common ground? about learning and becoming better people? forzen, ex-military ex-dognapper and outside of the hell that was Black Mesa, lost in life and probably never gonna graduate now, running into the group of people he'd expect to hate him most... only to find that he's actually welcome? that's a story i'd love to hear, is all.

also i think it's so easy to be funny with him. pleeeeeeeeease please use him more please i've never asked before <3

#to be fair there's interesting things to be said for scorpy doubling up both as a plot point and a la Captain Hook/Father Darling #but i have more fun talking about Guy Completely Out of His Depth instead :)#saint talks #ask saint #for IS my idea for forzen is in maybe my top three favorite ideas for that fic like if nothing else GOD i want to get to that bit #long post #eh maybe!#alright to be fair it's been a while since i paid attention to forzen's bits in the stream so #i might be SO OFF here and supplementing w my own hc... but come on.#silly guy fun #forzen #hlvrai

Vader vs Obi Wan- Should it happen?

There is a huge debate going on in the fandom regarding whether Vaderwan fight in the new Disney+ series. There is a part of the fanbase that is dead set against it saying 'It breaks the lore, makes their fight in deathstar a bit meaningless' while another part goes 'It makes sense to have Vaderwan fight in an Obi-Wan show. It doesnt actually retcon anything'.

You know what? I actually agree with the later....

Okay okay, hear me out first before y'all come breaking down my door.

Do you really not believe that Vader and Obi-Wan never met ONCE in those long 20 years? Do you really think Vader had wouldn't have gone all out to find Obi-Wan and get his revenge? Do you really think Obi-Wan was able to stay in Tatooine without any fear of being found?

Becuz i dont think so. I really think it makes sense that Anakin/Vader is obsessed with his old master and would stop at nothing until he found him. I don't think he'll realize that Obi-Wan has been hiding out in his home planet, since Obi-Wan does leave Tatooine (We'll come to this in a second). But them meeting each other in these 20 years is inevitable. Y'all remember when Vader says 'Obi-Wan once thought as you did' when Luke says that there is still good in him in Episode 4? This means that there must have been a confrontation between them where Obi-Wan does try pleading to Vader/Anakin to come back to the light, doesn't it? That means they have met at least once after Anakin falls to the darkside and before A New Hope.

Vader also says 'I feel a presense. A presense i haven't felt since......' Since when? Mustafar? No.... He doesn't actually say. So there is still room to assume that they have met a few years prior.

Yes, Vader says that last time they had met, he 'was but a learner' and now he's 'a master'. Well, most of you assumed that Anakin was a learner in the literal sense, an apprentice to his master. But Anakin was not Obi-Wan's padawan at the time of the mustafar fight. He was a jedi knight and a former master to Ahsoka himself. So we cant really take what he said on the Deathstar in a literally.

He could have meant that- Last time we met, I was understanding the extent of my full powers and learning how to control it to destroy anyone or anything i want. Now, i know that the show takes place 10 years after ROTS so yeah, it still doesn't make any sense. But the context in which it is taken by the fans is also not right. So it won't break the lore, not exactly.

Its never mentioned anywhere that the two never meet before episode 4. So, its acceptable that they do meet. But does it make the fight in the Deathstar meaningless? Not if Disney handles it right. Vader felt surprised to have felt Obi-Wan's presence, almost as if.... he hadn't expected Obi-Wan to be alive. Maybe Obi-Wan fakes his death in the Obi-Wan show, dampens his force presense to make it seem like he's dead (it's not its his first time doing it *cough* Rako Hardeen deception ark in the Clone Wars *cough*) or something along the lines, really making Vader believe that Obi-Wan is no longer a problem. But we need to see how it happens in the show itself....

As for Obi-Wan leaving Tatooine? Some fans really don't don't like this idea and i get why. But consider this. The inquisitors are lead to Tatooine in search of the Jedi and in order to protect Luke, Obi Wan had to leave the planet before anyone can make a connection to Luke. Obi-Wan would do anything to keep the little Skywalker safe and draw danger's attention away from his home planet, even if it means he might get caught or killed in the process (That self sacrificing idiot🙄)

So its not really that much of a stretch to see him go off planet. But who will he leave behind to take care of Luke, we'll find out in the show.

Overall, the show (so far from what I've seen of the trailers) looks good. I'm really excited to see Ewan and Hayden back in their iconic roles. And i really hope Disney doesn't f*ck this up. Its their last chance at redemption, what with Obi-Wan and Darth Vader being 2 of their 3 most important star wars characters, along with Luke. They screw this up, the franchise goes down the drain. No doubt. This is their 'do or die' one-shot at redemption. I hope they know this.

Its rated 9+. So it wont be really dark. Which is a bit confusing, cuz i really expected the show to be rated atleast 15+. But, as long the story makes sense, the show stays true to its character and the action is awesome, i don't mind the lack of 'too dark' in it.

I'm tryna manage my expectations and not get too excited, but i cant help it. I'm really stoked, but I'm keeping my finger's crossed.

Lemme know what you guys think of Vaderwan fighting in the Obi-Wan Show.

Obi-Wan fighting hand to hand is just🔥🔥🔥

After

Aayla x Bly: At the very begining of their story, Aayla started to have sex with Bly just to let him discover that part of the life he wasn’t supposed to have access to but she hasn’t real feelings for him. She just hoped he would then search for another female conquests. But he didn’t. And he always waited for her to be “available” for him. Time passing by, Bly got better and Aayla spent more and more time with him, not trying to find other lovers despite her Jedi vows. She was getting more and more attracked to him, expecting more and more the moments they spent both together (and not necessarily for intimate sessions) and disliking when she has to leave him behind for them to not be discovered. When she lost the second baby they made together during TCW, she felt so much pain that she understood she had to take a hard decision: taking distance from the commander to stay the Jedi she fought for to be or leaving the Order to live alongside with the commander and having a family with him.

Riyo x Fox: When Riyo discovered Fox in her office, late in the afternoon, she never really had the opportunity to even talk to him. The only clones she had to deal with where the ones of the 501st and 212th on Ordo Plutonia. She knew that there were some of them who never get on the battlefield, taking care of the security of Coruscant inhabitants and that’s all. Then she discovered this big guy crying in her office, his face emaciated, his eyes reddened by the lack of sleep and his features devoured by the anxiety. She feared so much for his life that she ordered him to stay with her for the night, offering him a diner to not eat alone. The commander was hard to convince but he was so exhausted that he finally gave in. That was the first diner of many more before their love story really begin. Fox never told her who give him all those bruises and scars, but she loved to watch him sleeping, finally relaxed and peaceful.

Kikohiyo x XXXXXX: At the begining of the war, the Emperor of a small group of worlds in the Galaxy received a letter asking him to abdicate. If not, his only daughter would be killed. The Emperor, furious and scared, asked for the help of the Jedi Order to find the anonymous senter of this letter and to protect his heir. The heir in question, Kikohiyo was 20 years old and she has quiet a temper. But, most of all, she didn’t want to be maried to a man she knew nothing about, just for political views. Then she tried to “dishonored” herself so she wouldn’t be a lotery price anymore. At first, she slept with the captain of the Guard but her father didn’t really care (in their customs, not being a virgin anymore before the wedding was not necessarily a bad thing; on a contrary, it meant that the bride-to-be would have more experience to please her husband (but she didn’t know that point)). So, she took another decision: having a baby. And she chose the clone sent to protect her to be the father of her child-to-be (XXXXXX didn’t even know that he could be a father doing it). And no, I won’t tell you who he his because it’s supposed to be a surprise in my AU story. :D

Sinker x Pissed anonymous girl: Well, what more to say that Sinker was a piece of sh*t with girls. The guy knew that his peculiar appearance caught the eye of girls and he used it to have some fun with them. But the fun was clearly for him only. He really didn’t care about what they were thinking about him because: 1) he didn’t care about anyone but Wolffe and Boost, 2) he wasn’t supposed to get back to his conquests later (he was just passing by) and 3) his life was too short for him to lost time with romance and feelings. So, yes, he’s an assh*le... but that was before he met Irdiz. :D

***

I just wanted to draw some after moments, trying some things (sorry for the bad perspective effect on Fox... ^^; ).

The Rifle

Chapter 1 “Kal'Tava”

Title: The Rifle Pairings: Mandalorian x F!Reader Rating: E (for language, sexual situations, No YOUNGLINGS lurking where they shouldn’t) Setting: Before Season 1 (briefly), before Season 2, leading into Season 2 eventually, slower burn. Summary: You always believed that trouble had a knack for finding you… You just never realized what trouble really meant until you met him. — “Why did you help me?” “…You looked like you needed your rifle,” Warnings: Age gap (LATER) Older man/younger woman, explicit sexual scenes and sexual situations leading up to it after chapter 8 Word Count: 1446 A/N: Hello! Welcome to my first story I actually have a plan for! I fell down a deep dark Mandalorian hole and I plan on making a living here. So sit back, relax, and enjoy! If you have any pointers or tips feel free to send them my way, but please, be kind! Banner inspired by @valkblue

This story takes place 10 years before Mando and Baby Yoda leave Nevarro as a clan of 2. I did some quick math and estimated that Din was born around 3251 LY / 26BBY which is a few years before the clone wars and therefore he is around 35 years old when The Child is found in 3286 / 9ABY. All that said, Mando is in his mid 20’s to your teens and any and all romance will be much much later. P.S. Yena is a play on y/n, thought it’d be a clever way to handle that!

Chapter Summary: You never get a second chance to make a first impression

“Did you see the Mandalorian in town?”

Your father couldn’t help but notice you perking up after overhearing your sister’s conversation. He swung around to your work station and gave you a nudge to get you back to work, which you returned in kind at being caught. Sure, Odell and Ravi could stand around and talk while putting merchandise away, but as soon as you so much as tilt your head, you get stuck with the reprimand. You did allow yourself a small bit of pride at being the best out of your siblings with fixing blasters and the occasional landspeeder, but at the cost of being able to walk into the market and gossip with friends, it didn’t seem like all that great of an accomplishment at the moment.

“A Mandalorian? Those are the bounty hunters right? With all the weapons and armor?” You piped up from your little corner as you fiddled with the blaster in your hands, only to have it yanked from your hands as your father towered over you.

“No no no, I know you. You keep your head down and stay out of trouble, Yena. I mean it,” Your eyes crossed as he waved a meaty finger in your face.

“But I—“ Your voice pitched in defense.

”Calm down, Cadri. It’s hard not being curious about new people here, she doesn’t mean anything by it,” Your mother, ever the voice of reason, seemed to understand you teenage curiosity more than the rest of your family.

Your father, however, was strict man, quiet, and kept to himself; all qualities that he “claimed” helped him live through some of the galaxy’s more tumultuous years… Honestly, you thought it had more to do with the fact that you all lived in the shadiest part of the outer rim. Nonetheless, your father strove to instill these qualities into his many children, mostly through manual labor and a lack of free time. Hard to get into trouble when you hardly left the weapons mechanic shop, but you always swore that you never went looking for trouble. Truly, it just always seemed to find you. You always thought it had more to do with being one of the younglings and getting left behind to fend for yourself out of your three sisters and two brothers.

“Oh come on, Baba. I don’t get into trouble!” You exclaimed heatedly.

“Ha! If you lied half as well as you fixed blasters then maybe that would have been more believable,” You heard your sister’s snarky comment from the corner of the store.

“Nobody asked for your opinion, Odell—“ You snapped.

“It’s not an opinion it’s a fact,”

“I’ll show you a fact, when I come over there and kick your a—!” You had already started to get up to lunge towards her when your father tried to intervene.

“Girls! Enough—“

“… Do you carry ammo for Amban rifles?”

Five pairs of eyes turned towards the lone figure that had just stepped through the doorway. Your eyes immediately focused on the T-shaped visor set in smooth silver beskar. Even out here, you and your siblings were all trained to know quality steel when you saw it, what with your family being in weapon and ship repairs. This was your first time seeing real Mandalorian beskar in person though, much less on a real Mandalorian. You knew there had been a Mandalorian in town a few years back but you’d never actually seen him since he worked for gangsters. Your family must have though if the wide eyed looks of your family members were anything to go by, he definitely did cut an intimidating figure.

“… Yes. We don’t have much in stock but we do carry the rounds,” Your father finally broke the tense silence, startling your sister and mother into action as they shuffled over to the stock room.

“I’ll take what you have. How much?” The Mandalorian swung his rifle around to place in front of your father, but something in the movement caught your eye.

“15 wupiupi—“

“Your rifle… it has a short in the barrel,” You vaguely heard your father’s harsh whisper of your name as you tentatively reached for the rifle, “The trigger is loose, and butt of the rifle is worn down as well… probably from the recoil when you fire,”

You looked up and met the empty glare of the T-visor, your breath caught as you realized that you had essentially taken his gun out of his hands and given him unsolicited criticism on the maintenance of said gun to his face— or rather helmet. You knew you were right in your assessment, you’d been working on guns your entire life, but being met with silence made your stomach drop. You resisted the urge to blurt out that you didn’t really know anything, that you were just a stupid 17 year old trying to impress a bounty hunter, when he finally spared you from the embarrassment. After what felt like ages, but was surely only seconds, the Mandalorian inclined his head mildly in your father’s direction.

“How much for the repairs?” If anyone saw your knees buckle, you were glad that they hadn’t mentioned it.

“The repairs and the ammo for 60 wupiupi, no less,”

“Fine. How long for the repairs to be done” At this the Mandalorian turned your way and you nearly choked, was he expecting you to do it?

“Uh-hrm… a-a couple of hours? 3 tops—“

“You’ve got one and a half. I’ll pay half now and half when it’s finished,” he neatly dropped a pouch into your father’s unexpecting hands and walked out. The silence left in his wake was deafening, until…

“ Yena , what have you gotten yourself into? You foolish girl!”

Kriff.

To say that your parents were mortified, terrified, and petrified by the spectacular heights of your audacity and stupidity would have been an understatement. Your father cursed every piece of faulty machinery in the shop as he helped you strip the rifle, and despite your mother’s many exclamations of being at a loss for words, she still proceeded to nearly shriek at you for the next 20 minutes as you scrambled to get your workstation together. All in all, you were nearly to the point of tears and you only had an hour left to fix the damned thing.

“I take back every time I said I didn’t get myself into trouble, you were right, you were all right,” Your mother’s hysterics must have rubbed off on you because you were nearly inconsolable as you tore your station apart for a driver small enough to tighten the trigger to the firing mechanism.

In a moment of clarity, your father finally kicked your mother and sisters out so you could focus, not that it helped much at this point as you glanced at the clock every 5 minutes. After the 5th time you burned yourself with your welder you finally stopped watching the clock and finished up. The short itself was an exposed wire that was messing with the transfer of the Tibanna gas and creating more force than necessary during firing, which resulted in the excessive recoil and a loose trigger. Your father’s store didn’t carry the type of gunstock necessary to replace the worn butt of the Mandalorian’s rifle, so all you could do was clean, reassemble, and call it done. You wiped your brow and looked up at the clock and realized you had actually made it with 3 minutes to spare, sobs of relief nearly melting you out of your chair as you held the rifle reverently to your chest.

“Get down!” You felt the shock of the explosion before you saw the smoke and ran out into the street with the rifle still pressed to your chest.

“What’s going on?!” You managed your pull one of your neighbors towards you from the people running away from the blast.

“That Mandalorian, the-the crew he was with turned on him! It’s a disaster, he’s holed up in a house, they have him pinned cuz he got hurt saving Ravi!” You felt your blood run cold.

The Mandalorian had saved your sister…

The Mandalorian had saved your sister and he had gotten hurt doing it, and now he was trapped in a house getting shot at by his own crewmates.

Your feet began to move before you had even finished thinking of a plan, rushing into the store and grabbing a box of the ammo the Mandalorian had requested. You strapped the gun to your back and rushed out the back door. It was starting to look like trouble was going to be a friend of yours now.
