Do you ever think about how Roach didn't immediately die from his wounds back in the original mw.
Do you ever sit down and think about Roach, laying down on the floor bleeding out, helpless, having to watch his soulmate (his other half, the love of his life (so much more than romantic love, so much farter from platonic love, so much them), his Ghost) die instantly by the gun shot wound.
Do you stare at the wall and imagine Roach still having time to feel agony and grief, even while in pain, even if short, even as he bleeds out himself, even as he gets drenched in gasoline and consumed by fire.
Maybe he had time to caress Ghost's unmovable cheek one more time. Maybe he took his glasses and closed his eyes for his own peace of mind and for the deep respect he felt for the man. Maybe he cried his final tears not because of his own pain or for his own death but because Ghost went first.
He left first.
Because I sit down sometimes and I think about how Roach didn't die right away. And it seemed like the universe looked at him and laughed because Ghost died instantly. Like a cruel joke.
A final fuck you to him.
Roach didn't die immediately. He could've maybe tried to get away, maybe get a knife and kill Shepperd. Get revenge. Proceed with the mission. Use Ghost's radio and warn the others- But no, he stayed, watched tiredly, that sick fuck turn away after taking everything from him, watched Ghost's lifeless body singe, watched as the flames consumed his own flesh and tried to burn him before he succumbed to his own wounds.
Him and Ghost became, together, the ashes that later fed the land and grew the greanest grass.
Price and Soap probably didn't even have enough of them bodies to put on a casket.
Now I'm obsessed with the idea of Azula and Mai having a child during the war.
Maybe the betrayal will be worse, Azula will be hurt that her "omega" leaves her for a stupid guy like Zuko, like why? What can he offer? He's not even able to get her pregnant like she did.
Mai probably visits Azula in the asylum sometimes, and Azula will yell at her and refuse to see her son, saying that he is a bastard, causing Mai to not appear again.
Although I like the idea of Azula claiming her son better, saying that Mai will abandon him for Zuko, that maybe she will cast him aside for not being her damn pathetic lover's son.
i love how obi-wan’s clothing reflects his character arc. the show makes it so clear that his costumes are tied to his sense of self identity. they mirror his emotional progression, from the blue shirt to the wrap-style tunic to, after everything, alec guinness’s costume in ANH.
what’s so striking about the costume design here is the lack of variation in obi-wan’s past appearances. we see him in similar jedi robes because obi-wan functionally is the “ideal” jedi. his tidy and layered robes represent his decorum, his emotional control, his sense of inner peace. barely showing a sliver of skin, he is benevolent, consistent, unassailable. he draws a striking contrast with anakin, who appears either armored in intimidating dark leather or stripped down and exposed in his most vulnerable and emotional moments.
all of this changes in the show. we see him wearing *gasp* COOL TONES. he dons a jedi robe that seems ill fitting for the man he’s become. and then he is quite literally broken down and stripped of his defensive disguise, and comes out of the experience with cautiosly renewed hope and an outfit to match. (see @intermundia’s excellent meta for more on the symbolism of obi-wan having a bath)
bringing it around to the ANH costume, the ultimate end point— i’ve heard complaints that it was used as the basis of jedi robes (or that obi-wan is calling attention to himself by dressing that way) but star wars has always been about aesthetics and visual symbolism first and foremost. in light of the costume design of the show, that costume becomes something beautiful, a culmination of all the pain and healing that forged the wise and balanced old master he became by the end of his life.
obi-wan’s decision to readopt the jedi robe in exile now symbolizes the reclamation of his identity. it represents his rejection of despair and his embrace of jedi ideals— that emotions must be accepted and released, that compassion is a strength, that hope is never truly lost. he must still remain in hiding but he’s no longer hiding. he finally accepts his guilt, his responsibility to the galaxy, the truth of who he is. his appearance reflects his heart.
and, though he may have lost faith for a time, at heart obi-wan kenobi is and has always been a jedi.
Hey!! So recently I saw this man who sells merchandise on TikTok and he has been selling clothing with your art of Jax from TADC on it as well as refusing to give credit, saying it’s AI ect, so I just wanted to let you know in case your art is being stolen. I usually dont use Tumblr so I’m not sure if this is the right way to let you know, I’m sorry if it isn’t!! The @ is @justelliott6
oh my god you are the kindest individual on the planet thank you so much for letting me know- i'll try my best to deal with this dfgjksfgh ,,

So, @silv-paru sent Sherlock Holmes for the character opinion bingo. thanks a bunch for this (and for your patience. my god, i’m answering this a week late. typical me behaviour). you’re a darling :D
Did you know, i used to tell these stories to my friends? they delighted in them AND i got a chance to sort of ramble on and on abt him and watson. it was a win-win, really. ah, those were the days! now i haven’t reblogged much of him this month at all. i miss him. I MISS HIM.
Onto the bingo: well. he’s The quintessence of gender™ to me. and i relate to him so so much. fav character of all time fr. i want to carry him in my pocket at all times & study him. like. do i want to BE him OR am i IN LOVE with him, ykwim? pssh who knows? certainly not me. uh-huh ‘a beast unleashed’ -does this refer to me or him? you choose. oh re: canon, i’m ignoring the part where holmes dies (or y’know, is dead for 3 years). that’s too angsty.
