#he was a good luke actually

—Even losing you (the joking voice, a gesture I love) I shan't have lied. It's evident the art of losing's not too hard to master though it may look like (Write it!) like disaster.

-- 'One Art' by Elizabeth Bishop

you ever think about how after everything Ahsoka told Vader "I'm not leaving you" and it wasn't enough

#ahsoka #star wars #anakin skywalker #darth vader #swr #tcw #xuserann #my art #going FERAL about these two again actually #and about poetry. #something something about losing. and leaving. and being left. and coming back too late. #imagine ahsoka hearing how vader died. #padme and luke both said 'there's still good in him' and ahsoka KNEW that and yet he would not show it to her. #i'm chewing drywall

"Between Anakin and Luke who is the better Jedi?"

"Who's the strongest?"

Blah blah blah.

Every single person who thinks it is Anakin is wrong because Anakin "coolest thing about me is my kids" Skywalker would beat you up for thinking that his son isn't the greatest thing of all time.

#you know im right #if this man could chew he'd be eating metal every time someone so much as suggest that luke was anything but perfect #vader canonically loses his temper everytime someone from the empire suggests that luke isnt the biggest threat they're facing #he's like “what? do you mean? we should focus on someone else? luke skywalker exists and i have to follow him actually” #luke gets kidnapped and Vader kills the people who did it because only HE is allowed to hubt and traumatise his child like that thank you #“oh but anakin is the chosen one” you say #neither anakin or i care we're to busy admiring luke as he fucks up again #kylo meets anakin in the afterlife prepared to complain about luke and his 'failures' #surpised to find that grandpa 'number 1 luke stan' vader couldn't give a shit #'oh he tried to kill you? clearly he didn't do a good enough job. hey you think luke is open to advice? give him advice in killing people' #luke skywalker #anakin skywalker #darth vader #dad vader

I'll never understand how some fans are so incredibly willing to just be okay with "it happened in a timeskip" to excuse bad writing lol. Like "oh yeah these two characters who have been enemies for like four seasons of a TV show had their entire reconciliation OFF SCREEN in the time skip between episodes right at the end so it works" or "oh yeah this character who was left basically broken had their entire growth and development where they came to terms with the thing that broke them in the time skip so it works" kind of stuff. Like that's literally the ENTIRE emotional climax of a story that's been building for a while and you're FINE with not getting to actually SEE IT???

Can't relate.

#fandom wank #i'm so so tired of people telling me 'well it happened in the timeskip' when i get annoyed about something #like a character doing a personality 180 #or a character suddenly changing their mind about something that was really important to them #or literal wholeass character development that's integral to this character's story #there are some things that can happen in a timeskip and some shit that CANNOT #like imagine if luke had NEVER confronted yoda or obi-wan about keeping the truth of his parentage from him #like we come into rotj and they're just fine and it's never addressed #like luke's just never mad and they never even have a convo about it #imagine how unsatisfying it would feel to have had that massive bombshell dropped without any real payoff to it #imagine never actually getting to see luke work through that particular revelation or how it impacts these relationships #and they were just like 'well it happened in-between movies' #it would SUCK #you NEED those convos in order to actually understand how luke fully comes to accept the truth about anakin #because even if he's calmer by rotj he's still upset by it a bit #only by TALKING to yoda and obi-wan does he actually get to the point where he has total faith in anakin's goodness #we HAVE to see that he's still frustrated about this and still working thru it #we cannot fucking skip it #i'm willing to accept that he's calmer about it due to the timeskip but not that he's already worked thru it all #there's a fucking difference

I sometimes like to fantasize about how much Corlys Velaryon would have fucked shit up if Alicent had actually managed to injure Luke in 1x07.

That man had a fleet, access to two full grown dragons with battle experience, money to burn and a pre-existing grudge against Viserys and the Hightowers. He wanted that smoke since the Great Council. And he clearly loved Luke.

It would have gotten very messy, very quickly.

#like to be fair to viserys there is an actual political reason why he left luke alone #because luke wasn’t just his grandson but an heir to driftmark #anything happening to him would have been a political clusterfuck of epic proportions #like viserys and his small council spend half of season one trying to keep corlys on side #FOR GOOD REASON #if the choice was ‘open conflict with the velaryons’ vs ‘sending alicent to the silent sisters and getting rid of otto’ #viserys might go for the latter #especially because rhaenyra his chosen heir would likely side with the velaryons #which would make viserys look weaker than he already does #and there’s no garantee that daemon would side with viserys if he backed the hightowers #especially if it put him at odds with rhaenyra #it actually could have averted the Dance #corlys velaryon #lucerys velaryon #viserys targaryen #viserys i #house velaryon

[bitterseaproduction]

Aemond getting his eye or forcing Luke to give it to him, only for the wound to become infected and Luke’s bedridden and delirious and going through what will probably be a slow, agonizing death among mostly strangers in enemy territory while Aemond is just there like🧍

#love me a good ‘be careful what you wish for’ scenario ☺️ #Luke doesn’t deserve this but I would hope he’d appreciate the harsh awakening for his favorite green #Aemond getting dragged deeper and deeper into a ‘this is not what I wanted this is not what I wanted’ spiral~ #all culminating in a fevered Luke asking for HIM (since he’s the only familiar face) and screw the war screw his bride screw any summons #he’s not leaving that boy’s side #and yeah it could be set somewhere else/another time #but the Baratheons watching their new ally slowly fall to pieces over his own victim? priceless #from ‘I’m gonna maim this kid’ to ‘if anything happens to him I’ll kill everyone in this castle and then myself’ in like a day & a half #and if luke actually lives— poor boy has lost an eye but gained a dragon. somehow. #Aemond trying to pledge his life to him in some raw impassioned speech while Luke can barely comprehend what’s happening #‘I would die for you.’ ‘Soooo we’re cool then?’ #lucemond

Sometimes i think maybeeee me calling Luke(Pjo)a fascist is going too far but at the same time,what else do you call an adult who gr00med a literal army's worth of children into becoming soldiers for him to turn society into his extremely white cishet male idea of a utopia?

Okay I’m sorry if I missed something but how the hell did Percy know Luke was the traitor when his reason for not arresting Clarisse was perfectly reasonable

#“But Percy’s actually really smart” #Yeah but he’s not a psychic #Like I would’ve trusted Luke fully #“Yeah bro u so right we don’t have any proof let’s go get some and even if it’s not her we can still find out who it actually is #My good innocent bestie!” #pjo #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo series #pjo show crit #pjo show spoilers #Like in the books they didn’t know ares was the lightning thief UNTIL the underworld and that’s why they assumed the betrayer was Ares #That’s what made the original betrayal hit so much harder #But nooo we can’t stay faithful to good plotpoints and dramatic stakes we had in the book we’re supposed to be adapting #This episode annoyed me #Some of it was good but the main thing (Luke) just felt weird #It felt like they changed it in the beginning flashbacks to make it more obvious

Luke trying to turn Percy to his side after the plot was revealed is literally The Fix of the series. We’ve been saying ‘Luke burned his bridges too soon, he tried to kill Percy instead of letting him become disillusioned’ for YEARS.

Instead of trying to kill Percy, Luke flips to ‘join me, if you’re scared of the gods, you don’t need to be.’ And when that doesn’t work, he runs. Percy is the one who initiates battle, Luke is just trying to leave with the least amount of damage, physically and socially. Unfortunately he didn’t account for Annabeth’s cap and burned more bridges than he’d liked or planned for…

#god it’s so freaking good #and you get the feeling that Luke actually cares about Percy #it’s not a cold ‘damn you Percy for figuring this out. for stopping the war. I’ll kill you for this’ #it’s this kinda broken-hearted ‘I didn’t want you to find out this way. please let me explain we can fix this if you’ll listen’ #Luke isn’t just. ready to throw away this relationship he leaves the seeds there for Percy to trust him again #if he ever decides he’s done with the god well. he knows Luke’s out there and likes him #it’s. yes. #pjo spoilers #pjo tv show #pjo tv series #luke castellan #my post

Just watched the newest Percy Jackson ep and I genuinely liked the way they did the Medusa part and how they’re handling Grover

#Grover my boy #grover underwood #grover #grover pjo #percy jackson #percy jackon and the olympians #pjo #pjo tv series #pjo disney+ #semispoilers starting here #like yes he’s fucking tired of these two arguing all the time! he gets to be pissed that they won’t get along! #the consensus song my beloved #I like that we get an actual reaction to his uncle ferdinand being dead cuz like yeah that shit would hurt #the fury (no clue how to spell her name) and medusa each giving annabeth and percy an offer and them denying it was actually a really good #addition in my opinion like it really solidifies their loyalty to not only the quest but to each other #they had the option to get what they truly wanted and they said no and I really liked that #medusa was so pretty and I love how she’s truly our first introduction to the bad side of the gods outside of how percy feels about his dad #also!!! the k on the sneakers!!!!!! luke!!!!!!!!!! #as funny as gabe saying the prophecy was I would’ve liked to hear the oracle say it #I had kinda built up the scene and hearing the raspy dead voice of the oracle say the prophecy would’ve have made an amazing scene #and using gabe for more of a comedic tone kinda dampened the scene for me #but it looked phenomenal and I really can’t wait to see how they do the prophecys in the second and third books #I wanna know who would appear for clarisse and the hunters #I think ares showing up for clarisse and artemis showing up for the hunters would be really interesting #so setting up the whole ‘a different person shows up for everyone’ should be cool #I just can’t get over how it was gabe #i would’ve liked to see that scene but it’s sally or poseidon saying the prophecy for extra impact #I’ll stop nitpicking now it was a really good episode #autism (mads) speaks

[megatraven]

it's been so long since i rewatched the Unsaid Emily episode of JATP but holy, shit does it still hit so fucking hard

when luke's hiding in the bushes outside of his parents' house because he misses them- misses his mother- and regrets the way he ran off, but was too proud to apologize. and maybe too full of guilt and regret to come back before he did what he set out to do.

but he missed her and she missed him and he wrote an entire song about it and his band sang it together and im just 😭😭😭😭

maybe after his band played at the orpheum he would have gone back. maybe he could have gone back and said "look! i did it! im sorry for leaving but i did it! can i come home now?"

maybe that would have been enough to start mending the gap

maybe they would have had a chance to play more than one song, and maybe the second would have been Unsaid Emily, and maybe she would have known. maybe she would have been standing by the door waiting for him to come back.

but he dies, and the song is lost for twenty years, and his mother never knew that he was so sorry or that he even thought about her after running away, not until julie.

he gets the chance to finally say everything he always meant to say to her, he gets to see his mother read his old words and read the love in them.

im nearly sobbing from this scene again it's so fucking good. so powerful.

#meg speaks #i AM crying the song always makes me cry but it's SO SO SO GOOD #since it doesnt look like the show will ever get another season it will forever be in my headcanon that one day his parents happen to see #him perform with julie. they see their son again #and maybe the song they sing is written for them #julie could just Do that you know #she could make him and alex and reggie appear before luke's parents and he could see them again and they could see him and MAYBE #maybe he could touch them. hug them. maybe he'll learn to do it by then. #sometiems i wonder if his parents could actually hear him singing the song there in their living room #like how the band could be heard playing This Band Is Back by passersby even though they couldnt be seen #maybe his parents could hear him. maybe they thought ti was just all in their heads. maybe their memories of him feel sharper afterwards. #maybe his voice is as clear as it was the day he left home when it had been muddled over by time #julie and the phantoms #jatp #ok i need to stop of im gonna cry even more

Morning Revelations

From @innytoes prompt list

Julie threw open the studio doors and froze.

Luke was sprawled across the mattress of the pull out sofa apparently sound asleep and completely naked. The blankets were still wrapped around his lower legs but everything above that was pale and smooth. He was hugging one of the pillows and his slightly overgrown mop of hair was covering his face.

She’d expected him to be here. They were supposed to meet to write today but she hadn’t expected him to still be sleeping… and naked.

A towel appeared in front of her face and she jumped.

“Got a little something on your chin Jules.”

She turned to scowl at Reggie who was snickering at her.

“Shut up,” she grabbed the towel from him and then threw it back in his face making him giggle and jump away. “What is he doing sleeping in there?” she hissed.

Reggie shrugged. “He told me he didn’t want to piss you off for being late.”

She growled. “Why is he naked?!”

Reggie rolled his eyes. “Because he’s a walking furnace and always sleeps naked unless we’re sharing a bed.”

“Oh.” Julie frowned. “Where did you and Alex sleep?”

Reggie pointed back to the house. “I slept in the guest room and Alex stayed at Willie’s place. He’ll be here shortly.”

Julie bit her lip as her eyes were drawn back to the sleeping form of her crush.

Nope, nope she did not have a crush on Luke. They were friends and writing partners and band mates and that was all.

“What time did you all get in last night anyway?” The guys had gone out with a band they’d all met last week at their gig. Julie totally wasn’t bitter that she wasn’t twenty one yet and couldn’t go out with them last night or any night they went to a bar or a club unless it was eighteen and up which was rare.

“Luke and I got back around two.”

She’d stayed home, not that she’d had much of a choice and worked on some of her school work for her psychology class so she’d have today free to write and practice with the guys… with Luke.

Julie couldn’t stop staring at him.

The sun was streaming in the bay window making all that pale smooth skin practically glow.

“I kinda wanna touch it.”

“What?”

Julie whipped her head back at Reggie, “Did I say that out loud?” she hissed.

Reggie shook with suppressed laughter. “Yeah, but...seriously” He took a calming breath. “What if he woke up and saw you?” He raised his eyebrows at her. “Are you ready to tell him you like him?”

She wanted to argue, or deny it but he knew, Alex knew, hell everyone knew except for Luke. She thought she’d been painfully obvious for years. Either Luke was really that oblivious or more likely he wasn’t interested in her like that and was just trying to spare her feelings.

She sighed, “No.”

He rolled his eyes, “You two really need to get your crap together.”

“I…” she started to say when there was movement on the bed and Luke started to shift. Julie squeaked and skittered away from the open door. She was not ready to see more than she already had. She’d already seen more than she should have.

Reggie pushed the open door partway closed and turned to frown at her crossing his arms.

“What?”

“Why won’t you just tell him and put all of us out of our misery?”

She rolled her eyes, “Because he obviously doesn’t think of me like that.”

Reggie scoffed. “You’re as blind as he is.”

“You know he,” she pointed toward the sleeping man on the other side of the door. “…could say something to me!” she pointed at herself.

Reggie sighed. “You’re both impossible.”

“I just think you’re wrong Reg.” Julie crossed her arms and huffed. “I know Crystal was with you all last night and she’s been painfully obvious with how much she likes Luke.” Crystal was the bass player for the band the guys went out with last night and she’d been less than subtle with all her arm touching and inane giggling at everything Luke said when they’d all met last week.

“Julie,” Reggie rolled his eyes. “He doesn’t like her. He doesn’t like any of them. He’s in love with you!”

She shook her head and turned away from Reggie’s earnest face. She just couldn’t hear it any more, it hurt too much. Luke was considerate enough not to parade all the girls who flirted with him in front of her but she was sure he must be getting together with them when he and the guys were out partying without her.  

Julie could feel the tears trying to well up in her eyes as she tried to swallow the lump in her throat. It was fine, he deserved to have fun.

She just didn’t understand how Reggie could stand there and say Luke was in love with her when he’d never said anything. They’d been friends for years now. She’d thought when she was younger it was because he was a couple years older than her but she was nineteen now and far from a kid.

Reggie had to be wrong.

A warm hand tugged on her shoulder, turning her back around.

“Reggie…”

It was Luke.

“What are you…?”

He was looking at her so intently she barely registered his hands on her shoulders. “I promise I don’t like Crystal.”

“You don’t?” she breathed out laying her hand on his chest to steady herself. Thank goodness he’d put some clothes on.

He shook his head and leaned a little closer. “How could I possibly want to be with anyone when you’re all I think about.”

“Yeah?”

He nodded. “I’m not wrong here am I?” he said as he leaned his forehead against hers. “You want…”

She licked her lips and tilted her head up in invitation. “Yes.”

He smiled before closing the distance between them and pressing their lips together in a soft kiss.

It only lasted for a moment, both of them unable to stop smiling, before there was clapping and hollering behind them.

They broke apart, laughing, to see not only Reggie but Alex and Willie high fiving each other.

“It’s about time you two!” Alex laughed.

“Ok, ok, shows over.” Luke grinned as he slid his arm around her waist. “Jules and I have songs to write.”

“Right,” Alex rolled his eyes and glanced at Willie and Reggie. “We’ll go see if Ray needs any help with anything for a couple hours so you two can go write.” Alex said making exaggerated quotation marks.

She couldn’t stop grinning at him as they walked with their arms around each other toward the studio.

“Just think how much misery we could have spared everyone if we’d just shown Julie Luke’s naked ass ages ago.” Reggie said gleefully as he, Alex and Willie trooped up the stairs.

Julie squeaked and pulled away from Luke completely mortified.

She sprinted the last few feet into the studio as Luke burst out laughing at Reggie’s words.

I would like to know exactly how luke asking annabeth to run away with him went down.

#annabeth🥺 #it's sad to think about how it'll be so much harder for annabeth to unpack and heal from that relationship bc he's dead #it's hard enough to come to terms with someone you love/held in high esteem hurting you so deeply #but she's also grieving him too so it's even harder to hold him accountable to herself and recognizing the good and the bad #she may struggle to not romanticize the memory of him #sorting through what about their relationship was pure and genuine and what was fueled by other stuff #both of their trauma really played into it in some of the worst ways... #but to even recognize how her trauma played into it she'd have to identify what her trauma even is and how it's affected her life #it's really complex and difficult work #and bc he's gone she'll never get to question him on stuff like what he was thinking at certain points and why #so certain things will never get the best closure #ugh it's all so fucked up #MAYBE SOMETHING WE COULD HAVE EXPLORED IN HOO RICHARD???? BUT NO #and it would have been perfect too bc she'd also be dealing with issues caused by both of her parents triggered by the MoA quest #like her mother's conditional love #and trauma from her mortal family #and her fear of spiders relates to both of these things bc it's a phobia that's passed down from her mom's actions #so she's being punished for something she's not responsible for and also being burdened with a quest simply for being her mother's daughter #and it also represents her mortal family's neglect bc they ignored her needs and all that... #AND THEN the only person she's received actually pure and good unconditional love from was snatched from her for 6 months #and the MoA quest could have been a way to confront some of these fears and wounds...so she's a little stronger by tartarus which #should bring out the best in her and the worst in percy #and then he can work through some stuff too down there #HoO could have been a journey for them where they're undone and then healed #bc at the end of everything they have the medicine to literally everything which is real love (which they have for each other intensely) #the rant I could go on about this...I have so many thoughts about what HoO should have been. maybe one day #annabeth chase #luke castellan #✏️
