Man, I really feel bad for the Dinotopia guys. They built this whole intricate, creative, enrapturing world, and it was going to be the next big thing. It was gonna be the next franchise. They got George Fucking LUCAS to make a screen adaptation of it. Yeah, the starwars guy. Then midway through production he realizes how much he loves making movies and decides to ditch your project and make the prequels instead. They say there's no bad blood but... man it would fucking kill me to go to the theater and see Naboo and think "Fuck, that coulda been waterfall city"
There still was a franchise. They did eventually make spinoff paperback novels and video games and there were even a couple screen adaptations, but they were done by Lifetime and Hallmark. The lifetime one is actually surprisingly good given its budget. It tells a story that mirrors the structure of the original picture book, two brothers get marooned on Dinotopia, one of them rides a pterosaur and then they have to stop a dude named Krab from stealing a crystal that he needs to make an ancient machine get him off the island... but it's not a reboot or anything, it's the same continuity as the books. I guess guys named Krab really do be stealing crystals every generation or so. It's not really that bad of a series but damn it could have been George Lucas!
I dunno, I just find myself thinking about it. It was a uniquely artistic and non-violent series for its time. All of the dinosaurs and people live in harmony. There used to be a steampunk cyber empire of capitalists who tried to replace dinosaurs with the coolest looking robots you could imagine, but then there was a revolution and they all live in communistic harmony with no real currency. Each according to their need, each to their own ability. All that Jazz.
I'm certainly more normal about it than I am say The Underland Chronicles but I still find myself thinking about those gorgeous communist dinosaur picture books. In another reality, Battleborn won over Overwatch, Galidor never got its budget cut and was actually a smash success, Warner bros actually did something with the TUC film rights, and Kids in the 00s grew up with Dinotopia instead of the Starwars prequels.

Can I request a gwendoline Christie X an actor reader where they secretly got together during the movie they're in together.
They're doing interviews for it and fans are shipping them both a ton because they honestly can't keep it in their pants and are super handsy/constantly flirting completely accidentally...for the most part.
Until one Gwen is on an insta live and the reader doesn't realise and comes up behind her and starts trying to make out because the reader is complaining that Gwen was always so busy and how they could help her "relax" ;) when ends up yelling she's on a live and the reader dies from embarrassment while Gwen dies of laughter?
A Best Friend Like Her
Gwendoline Christie x reader
Warnings: none
A/N: Hi anon! I hope you enjoy this! I tried to stick to the request as much as possible.
To you, accepting a role in Star Wars was the best decision you had ever made. You had never been happier, even if it was a smaller part. But what mattered was the outcome.
Now, you’re waking up in a shared bed in a modest London flat beside the most beautiful woman you had ever laid eyes on. Very few people had known–only close friends and family. There was suspicion from fans, tweets surfacing and gaining traction almost instantly with people agreeing that something seemed up.
‘Screenshot from #SDcomiccon of Y/N and Gwen on the #StarWars pannel…I just know something is up here.’
‘These BTS pictures of Gwen and Y/N are ADORABLE, there’s no way they’re just friends.’
There was even a Youtube video titled, ‘Every time Gwen and Y/N have flirted with each other but they’re “just friends.”’
“Morning,” you mumbled as you met the sleepy eyes of Gwen.
She pecked you on the lips before pulling you into a warm embrace. “Graham said we have to arrive about an hour before the show starts.”
There was something you loved so much about her raspy morning voice. “Do you think they’re interviewing only the two of us to capitalize off the rumors of our relationship?”
“Erm…” Gwen sighed heavily. “I never thought of it that way.”
“I mean, they’re certainly gonna get some views. We’ve been the hot topic on Twitter for a while,” you said.
“Let’s make a bet.”
You sat up, leaning on your elbow as you peered down at Gwen. “On what?”
“I bet you…ten pounds, that Graham will ask us about our relationship less than ten minutes in,” Gwen snickered.
You smiled back, amused. “Alright, fine. More than ten minutes in.”
__________
The pair of you sat in front of an audience of at least a hundred people. The bet you had made with Gwen was still lingering in your mind as you sat side by side, listening to Graham’s commentary on Star Wars and answering questions about the other roles you’re playing currently.
Game of Thrones was mentioned multiple times with Gwen and the tv show you starred in was mentioned too. 
“So,” Graham began, adjusting his position in his chair, “there have been some rumors.”
You and Gwen eyed each other.
“Twitter has been abuzz about you two,” he continued. “Some fans have been watching you two in interviews, red carpet events, and such. They’ve–and everyone else for that matter–have agreed that you’re both close.”
How the hell would you get yourself out of this? Well, the same way you did when other people asked.
“Well, I grew up without many friends,” you explained. “Throughout my life I’ve never had a close friend. And, Gwen is the only person I’ve become close to. I consider myself very lucky to have a…best friend like her.”
Best friend. Bullshit.
__________
“How long do we plan on keeping this a secret?” you asked on the drive home.
Gwen, in the driver seat, sighed. “I don’t know, darling…I’m…I’m ready, though, if you are.”
“I don’t know,” you huffed. “Every worst possible outcome is all I can think of. Losing roles, friends, the media backlash…”
“Sweetheart, it’s the media that’s stirring this up. Both of our parents know and our closest friends do too.” Gwen stayed focused on the road as her hand came to squeeze your knee. “I don’t think we’d lose any roles over this either. There are laws put in place for things like these.”
At your flat, you stood in the kitchen preparing dinner for the two of you. As you sauteed broccoli, Gwen was in the living room, typing away on her computer. You heard her speaking every now and then and assumed she was simply taking a phone call by the sound of her talking about scripts and shows and movies she’s been in. 
When dinner was ready, you plated the food, setting it on the kitchen table before going to find Gwen. She sat facing away from you as you tiptoed over, encasing her in a surprise hug. She flinched before growing stiff as you placed soft, chaste kisses over her neck.
“I’m so proud of you,” you smiled. “You did so well today, but you owe me ten pounds. Graham mentioned our relationship eleven minutes in, so I won.” She said nothing and you looked at her, confused. “What?”
Gwen peered up at you with an awkward grin and her eyes darted from you to the phone that leaned against the bright computer screen. “I’m on Live…”
Your stomach dropped and all the color drained from your face. “You–what?”
“I’m talking to a few hundred thousand people right now, sweetheart,” Gwen chuckled.
Your words were stuck in your throat and you managed to squeak them out, waving briefly at the phone where comments of ‘OMG’ and ‘NOW WAY’ were flooding the screen. “Erm…right…well…dinner is ready and on the table.”
You turned and rushed out of the room, embarrassment pooling in your cheeks and humiliation creeping up your throat. As she watched you leave, Gwen faced the phone, the brightest smile on her face since she first kissed you a year before.

Thoughts on The Bad Batch Episode 6 - Infiltration - A Discussion Post
This week's two episodes really took us through another rollercoaster. Let's look back on all the details that got us excited!
(SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE EPISODES YET! all screencaps from cap-that.com! https://www.cap-that.com/starwars/the-bad-batch/306/)
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rex makes his return by delivering Senator Avi Singh and his droid GS-8 to Senator Riyo Chuchi on Pantora, who continues to recruit people for fighting against the Empire. I was surprised to see Senator Singh again; every episode that's happened in the series really had a good purpose for the story.
Howzer also appeared, and I'm so happy he's back!
Tumblr media
One of the Clone X troopers had appeared, sneaking around and attempting to attack the senators. Rex and the others try to attack the trooper, and Howzer manages to stun him. The trooper ends up being another unidentified clone, and the boys take him into custody.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
We arrive at the monastery on Teth, which had first appeared in the Clone Wars movie. Rex and the other clones have built themselves a base here, where they are safe and far away from the Empire.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rex and Howzer go to see the CX trooper they took into custody, as they had the shocker removed from their teeth, learning from the scenario that happened last season. Rex tries to reason with the trooper, who refuses to talk.
Fireball had looked through the device that they found with the CX trooper, and Omega was shown on that device. Rex decides to contact Echo and Hunter, calling them here to talk to them about the situation. Everyone's after the poor girl, and none of the clones are able to catch a break.
Tumblr media
The CX trooper that we've all got our eyes glued to appears once again on-screen, asking "Why have I been activated?" We finally get to hear this trooper talk, and his voice is very hidden by the helmet. He is given a mission to track down the CX trooper that went missing, and we go on to pay close attention to him throughout the episodes. When I tell you my heart was racing every time he appeared on screen, I was really trying to think hard and connect the dots. I'm a Tech believer, but with the new theories emerging on this trooper potentially being other clones as well, every theory is so intriguing.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
While on the way to Rex's base, Omega copying Crosshair was the cutest thing ever. She went from copying Hunter in Season 1, copying Phee in Season 2, and now this in Season 3. (Hunter's definitely having flashbacks.) Girl's growing up too fast for me 😭
Tumblr media
Can we just take a second and look at Wrecker's smile here? It was so heartwarming to see him smile like this while he was petting Batcher. He's so cute.
Tumblr media
The crew arrives, and Howzer keeps his eyes locked on Crosshair. The little nod Rex and Omega shared was so adorable. Howzer speaks up to talk to Crosshair, who stays silent. He reminds him of Ryloth and what happened, and he has good reason to be upset.
Not gonna lie, I was expecting Rex to look at Batcher and be like when did y'all get a dog 🤨
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Before leaving to go pick up Gregor (wherever he is), Echo gives Omega a new crossbow, replacing the Zygerrian crossbow she used to have before being taken to Tantiss. I still wonder what happened to that weapon, it was just completely lost. Omega loves her new gift and thanks Echo, and I can't wait to see her use it.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rex and Howzer show Hunter and Crosshair the information they got so far from the device they obtained from the CX trooper they have, and Crosshair starts to open up about what he went through on Tantiss, talking about Hemlock's conditioning. Howzer continues to suspect anything Crosshair says, and Hunter gets protective for his brother. The boys decide to ask Omega about why they wanted her on Tantiss, and she says that it was so Nala Se could work for them.
I feel like I could tell that Omega does not want to talk about anything she went through on Tantiss and whatever she experienced. She looks so hurt at times ever since she became reunited with her family, and she wasn't even eating in this episode. She always keeps giving Batcher her food. Omega mentions "M-count", which Rex has heard of before, but doesn't know what it means. I wonder when they'll learn what it means and how they'll try to figure out why Omega is needed for this.
Tumblr media
Meanwhile, the CX trooper sent from Tantiss had arrived on Teth and located the clones' base, and had snuck in without ANYONE noticing. Batcher's senses felt something was around, but she shrugged it off and continued eating. Not even Hunter's enhanced senses had felt something was around. I felt like maybe these troopers were designed to avoid those kinds of things, and maybe Hemlock learned about Hunter's abilities and attempted to avoid them.
Anyway, he looks around and spots Omega, immediately running out and contacting someone.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
When Crosshair found out they have one of the CX troopers in custody, he goes with Rex, Howzer, and Hunter to see him. The second he lays eyes on the trooper, there is genuine fear in his eyes. What did he go through on Tantiss?
The CX trooper recognizes Crosshair and begins to talk, and knows the Empire is coming for them. Crosshair insists they leave, while the others keep wanting information, and Howzer gets more suspicious.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Right outside, the bombs CX-2 planted around the base are set off, triggering multiple explosions. He re-enters the base, firing shots, as everyone hurries to protect the base. The trooper manages to shoot the CX trooper they have in custody, making them unable to get further information. The fight continues until the base is wrecked, causing the CX trooper to be crushed under rubble, and the others get locked in the place they kept the trooper in custody after the rubble blocks their way out.
RIP to Fireball 😭
Tumblr media
Wolffe finally makes his appearance! He continues to be a soldier of the Empire, but he definitely is no longer under the influence of the chip. The episode ends here, and I was screaming the entire time Wolffe appeared. Someone go summon the force ghost of Plo Koon so he can knock some sense into his son.
This episode was full of context, but there's still so much mystery behind everything. The next episode was full of even more action, and I had my eyes glued to the screen.
Episode 7 Discussion

Ooc:
AM I YAPPIN ABT YOUNG NEIL HEADCANNONS INSTEAD OF WORKING OR SLEEPING?! YEAHH LETS FUCKIN GOOOOOOOOOOOO
If you fucking know me or see my ACC (and my other blog accs) yk I love the OG ships like jophen/ startech (joseph x stephen) mobillce (mobile x wallace) and maybe a few other non-cannon ships like kimona (Kim x romona) and...fuck idk the ship name for hollie x roxie or Kim x Lisa but yeah those too. For neil, personally, I'm a nordegrim shipper :)) Sorry, neilphen fans :((
Since I imagine he's still on collage I assume he's taking sonthing/ changed courses into somthing more...movie thing? Idk. Mainly working with cameras, screen writing, anything movie based or whatever
Since for Joe I made him Hispanic, other scott as Chinese, I don't really know what to do for the quirky silly little guy like neil. Gimme some ideas if y'all ever see this
Has attachment issues. Or fear of being left alone or not included
He has eczema that flairs up during the winter. Sometimes, he cries silently because of how itchy he is and doesn't like the cream the doctors told him to use because it's a weird texture he isn't comfortable with
Whenever stephen is back home from work, they usually sit down and watch movies together or during dinner. Young neil yaps about a movie, and stephen replies with a dry and simple "mhm, " "yeah", "that's cool -" and sometimes the occasional questions. Neil doesn't mind since he knows stephen is tired
He sometimes steals money from stephen but not all the time. He pays stephen back quickly by making some dinner (that he fucked up)
Favorite games have to be anything RPG based and zelda. Maybe he also got into the virtual world hype like UB funkies, webkinz, neopets, or club penguin (mainly UB funkies)
If he dose have a job I imagine he'd work at the second cup just to hang out with Stacy more, maybe a comic book store, or at no account video with Kim so he can watch more movies for free
I imagine his interest related friends has to be hollie (bc I see hollie also being a cinaphile), Joseph (because he wants to learn how to operate cameras and stuff and make it look cool by editing) and Jimmy (fellow zelda and starwars fan)
He has acne/ acne scars and back acne (I think that's the term) and he always picks/scratches at it
Speaking of picking. He always picks at his fingers and sometimes peels off a good chunk to the point it is bleeding bad, so he has bandaids on his hands and fingers most of the time. He doesn't mind which sorta bandaid. He likes the colorful ones that have like a character on it, but he worries if he might be too distracting for him when he's in class
I love how ironic it is for him to wear a heart on his sleeve sorta shirt even though he doesn't really show his feelings that often. He has the same ass stare all the time, and I think it's silly. So I just imagine he would say whatever is in his head without second thought, or he would mumble it if he thinks it's weird. So whenever he talks about his feelings, like how he feels about the whole "band abandoning him" situation, he actually means It and doesn't really hide it at all.
Steph (Neil's older sister) got him a pair of headphones bc thier parents were always fighting and a Walkman so he can listen to some music. He still uses those headphones to this day even though their broken in half, the sound quality is terrible and the ear puff thingy is crumbling
Whenever he goes out to the mall or out with anyone, he either has his hands in his pocket or out, bc someone has to grab onto his wrist so he wouldn't stop and stare at things (it's mainly Stephen and Kim who has to grip onto his wrist and drag him along. He dont mind tho :/ meanwhile stacy just holds onto his hand and stares with him)
Whenever stephen has a day off and he sees neil playing video games, he asks neil if he finishes his homework. If neil says no, stephen takes away his Gameboy color, keep it in his room and tell him to do his homework. If yes then stephen would just shrug it off, ruffle his hair up and say "ight, cool"
Neil was probably the first to find out that stephen was gay when stephen brought Joseph over (make of that as you will)
He writes movie reviews online and hopes people will see em but his writing skills are ass and he just describes whatever he can and think "yeah that's good enough"
Stephen treats neil like family since well, steph (Neil's older sister) isn't in contact with him that much. And because of the name similarities, neil just treats stephen like steph
His "stuffy" are those hot rubber water bottles (I forgor the name but you pour hot water into them and they help you with cramps and aches and shit-) with a wool sleeve wrapped around it
Since this rp acc is a bit related to the stephen acc. He likes bone crusher a lot! Since he mainly stays home, he has a new buddy to talk to and hang out with. But he leaves all the chores to stephen like cleaning out the litter box or something
Ever since he found out stephen had a cat he was pissed that stephen named the cat "bone crusher" not Link, Skull Kid,Meowth,Litten or Shinx or somthing cool like that but he continues to call bone crusher, bone crusher.
He has a bike and takes it to his college campus. He has the gear for it, too. Helmet, knee pads, elbow pads, and gloves. Stephen said if he doesn't wear em he'll get into an accident, and that scared neil
Idk why, but i imagine him being the type to collect... something! Maybe anything to fill up his already messy room!
He's a maximalist (I think that's how you spell it), as you can see from his room
OUGHHH, I CAN'T CHOOSE BETWEEN MAKING NEIL A DEMI BOY OR MAKING NEIL TRANS FTM AJXJWJXKWKXKWKKXKS
I imagine he has those window markers to doodle on his window or to doodle out ideas for another screen play
I imagine him and Stacy are pretty much on the platonic and cute relationship wise. Holding hands, cuddling all that sorta stuff and stacy likes to listen to Neil's rambles about movies and how good/bad they are
Neil likes it whenever he receives gifts :DDD and tries to pay back by acts of service or something idk. Even if it's his birthday or Christmas he makes sure he owes everybody a equal amount. For example (*COUGH COUGH* DS SITUATION) he's gotta pay back stephen by taking care of bone crusher for a day maybe, doing Stephen's chores and stuff
Not a neil headcannon but I imagine stacy trying to watch the movies neil recommend her so she can catch up and talk to neil abt it and I think it's really cute and sweet :DDD
Yk damn well he's got a BIG ASS forehead underneath all that hair. Justin Bieber lookin ah. No wonder why young neil is Canadian/j
Also not a neil headcannon. But I imagine everyone calling stephen, STEVEN (IDK HOW STEPHENS NAME IS PRONOUNCED. IS IT STEVEN OR STEPH-EM WJKDWKDJWN) that includes neil but Joseph calls stephen by his last name (stills) (joseph just calls everyone by thier last names to seem fancy and shit expect for Neil's. He just calls neil, kid or just neil because he doesn't know to how to read Neil's last name nor say it so...he just calls neil, neil)
Bases around one headcannon I saw. I forgor what acc and where it came from (I'll go ahead and credit them if I find it it) but since neil had like parents who always fought or is strict as hell he perfected the ways of walking around the house quiet af and accidentally scars ppl bc of this

Does the “woke” critique ever really go beyond “this has gay people/poc/women in if they’re pushing their agenda” type stuff? Personally I don’t think I’ve heard “Mary sue” get used since Rey Starwars, everything I’ve seen lately is just foaming at the mouth when a story doesn’t exclusively center white men
there’s a version of the critique that’s just that, and there’s another version of it that’s something to the effect of “it seems like some writers use IP to tell a story *they* would like to tell, regardless of how it works in the IP”. the former one is just whiny. the second one, as far as I can tell, is probably a real critique, because i can think of examples of this being brought up where representation isn’t involved in ~the discourse~ around it at all.
this happened in like 2015 back when fallout 4 came out. if you don’t know anything about fallout, here’s the quick TL; DR. nuclear war happens. americans take shelter in vaults built by the vault-tec corporation. some of the vaults turn out to be weird social experiments set up to study human behavior. vault 95 was housed with only drug addicts and there were no drugs in the vault, except 5 years in, a massive stash of drugs would be revealed in a hidden location in the vault. the problem is that one of the logs the player can find is written by a delivery man where he says he’s delivering a shipment of jet, a fictional drug in the game that’s a weird cross between meth and jenkem, made from fumes of radiated cattle dung. but this was invented after the bombs dropped, so there was no way for a pre-war delivery man was bringing a shipment of it.
this is a problem that’s very easy to fix in a video game. just change the text in the next patch. instead, what happened was the guy who wrote that quest doubled down, and did it again when fans were pointing out the clear flaws in his logic. and the writer responded with “not interested in discussing how realistic things are in an alternate universe post-apoc game w/ talking mutants and ghouls.” and a lot of game and tech news sites backed him up on making fun of fans for daring to complain about lore inconsistencies.
and like, on some level, yeah. it’s just a story. maybe you shouldn’t take it too seriously. but part of the flip side of that is that if you stop taking it seriously, you stop consuming it. bethesda didn’t create fallout, they’re just it’s current owners. people working there might care about fallout to some extent, but when push comes to shove, they prioritize their own visions. and stuff like this is ultimately how they view it. if you’re a fan of fallout, it means something to you. that’s why you enjoy it. but to them it’s only a vehicle for their new story. if they can get away with not respecting old lore – not just to save face, but also because the old lore gets in the way of the story they want to tell – and they believe that you’ll continue consuming the product, what incentive do they have to respect the old lore.
and, how many times have you heard a story like this? how many tv shows? how many video games? how many movies has something equivalent has this happened to? people take these things seriously because they love them. when they see inconsistencies, they’re worried that the new stewards don’t actually care. and when those new stewards lash out like this, it just confirms to fans that these creatives only want to wear a skin suit of the thing that they love.
that’s the best steelman I have for that, anyway.

happy halloween to all, i guess | peter parker
tw: panic attack
posted to wattpad on halloween just putting it up here
also, can i marry mj
sorry this was posted late lololol
don't hate me for having y/n dislike horror movies cuz me personally, ik that horror movies can trigger things like trauma, loss of sleep (insomnia), and panic attacks
it depends on the person and they shouldn't ever be judged for that, because you simply cannot control these things
anyways thats it lmao
this is kinda based of smth that happened irl except i'm hopelessly single and don't have a peter parker, quite sadly  
i bet u enjoyed this super long authors note
summary: halloween starts off fine, and then... well, it's not so fine.
you tried not to smile as you applied a layer of lipstick to your lips, eager to begin the night that lay ahead of you.
halloween was no doubt one of the best days of the year, and yes, despite being almost 17, you still went trick-or-treating. dignity was a mere price to pay at the rate of your happiness (in candy, of course).
but it had also gotten better after you starting dating peter in the 8th grade, because since then you and peter would always dress up together. this year it was peter pan and wendy, and you were beyond excited. you were dressed in her outfit, a blue dress, with your hair in a half up-half down hairstyle, held up with a blue bow. you hadn't done much with your hair, aside from curl it.
"i got it!" you screeched as you raced down the stairs, almost falling to your death multiple times, to answer the door. your parents locked eyes, clearly amused as you cleared your throat, straightened up and answered the door.
"hi, peter!" you grinned, grabbing your tote bag, because it would hold more candy, and yelling out a quick "love you, be home sometime today, i think" and closing the front door behind you.
he kissed you on the cheek, admiring your costume. "you look really pretty," he blushed.
"thanks, babes. you look pretty, too."
he helped you get in the car before getting in himself, "aww, love, you saved me shotgun!" you grinned, sticking your tongue out at mj and ned in the back. mj was a giant cardboard book, and ned was yoda.
peter looked at you, a sweet smile on his face as he rested his hand on your thigh. "'course, i gotta have my passenger princess with me at all times."
"god, gross. can you not eye-fuck each other for, like, 5 seconds?" mj rolled her eyes.
"we weren't-" peter tried. 
but it didn't matter because you and mj were already catching up, even though you saw each other at school. something about brad and jessica, but he hadn't bothered much. his hand was still in the same place, with yours on top.
"okay," ned interrupted, "mj's neighborhood, right? you know they have the best candy?"
"then why'd you pick me up?" she asked.
you shrugged, "the candy's okay. you just like her place because that one house was handing out starwars figurines."
"that's not- yeah, no, you're right," ned shrugged.
"okay," nodded peter, "mj's place it is."
"again, why'd you pick me up then?"
the next couple hours were spent getting weird stares and collecting candy until most people went inside. at that point, you and the others decided to go to peter's and spend the rest of the night binge-watching halloween movies and stuffing your face with candy.
"i think we should watch the exorcist!" peter declared and you instantly frowned.
you hated horror movies. why would someone willingly want to be subject to a heart attack? that was completely, totally, nonsensical.
but peter did really seem excited about this, so maybe for one night you could suck it up. besides, when was the best time to watch a movie? halloween, right?
mj shrugged, "i don't care what we do."
"we totally should!" ned pumped his fist up and you mentally groaned.
"can weeee? pleaseee?" peter pouted.
"god, i can't think straight when you give me that face. but sure, i guess. i don't really care either," you said, trying to seem nonchalant. but mj must have seen right through your whole facade, because she rose a brow at you. 
"awesomeeeee!" peter and ned high-fived each other before your boyfriend eagerly lunged for the tv remote, searching up the exorcist. 
for the entire time you had your eyes on the screen, your heart rate never went down. you were trying to power through for peter, considering how happy he looked for it, not that you understood why. you squirmed and fidgeted against the couch, trying to muster up the courage to say something. 
you could only take about about an hour until you felt like you'd reached your limit. your palms itched and your chest felt constricted. clumsily excusing yourself for the bathrrom, you stumbled out the front door, feeling the hot flashes against your skin, making your brain go fuzzy.
pulling up your knees to your chest, you clutched both sides of your head with you hands, heavy, ragged breaths leaving your mouth. you couldn't breath at all, and it felt like the edges of the world were blurring together, making everything feel hazy, sending you into a dark, starless oblivion. 
hot tears were streaming down your face, and you were struggling to calm down.
"y/n? y/n! there you are! you'd been gone a long time, so i thought you were taking a dump, but you weren't in the-"
you didn't bother to look up, still focused on yourself. 
"hey, angel, is everything okay? well, that was a stupid question. i-i'm here, love, i'm here," he wrapped his arms around you tightly, engulfing you a tight bear hug. you tried to pry yourself out of his grip, but he didn't let go. 
you felt your breaths slow down and become more full, and you weren't crying anymore. you eased yourself into him and rested your head into the crook of his neck, sniffling quietly. 
"feeling better now?"
you nodded. 
"yeah, uh, i read somewhere that bear hugs help. b-because i know you, um, get those often, and i wanted to be able to help... because, you know, i love you," you cheeks flamed red as he spoke, the two of you had over only exchanged those words twice and counting. 
"i love you, too," you murmured. 
"w-what happened, baby?"
"um, it's stupid. like, really stupid," your voice broke and you knew he'd find it pathetic. 
"i won't, i promise. you can talk to me, y/n, i'll never, ever, judge you."
"i just- i don't like scary movies," you cringed slightly at your words and how they sounded. 
"that's it?"
"see? i knew you'd find it stupid," you pulled away from him, "because it is. and i'm stupid because i can't watch a freaking make-believe movie, and i'm so sorry because your girlfriend is a big, pathetic, stupid baby-"
"no, no, no, that's not what i meant! first, don't call my girlfriend any of those things, because she's not," he continued when he saw you smile. "and second, i'm the one who should be sorry. because that's on me. it's on me that i didn't know, and that put you in that position and made you feel like you had to watch that stupid movie." you didn't say anything, paying attention to the cracks in the steps.
"i'm so sorry, love, i had known, i wouldn't have put it on. and, hey, don't feel stupid. everyone get scared. i'm scared of spiders and i'm spider-man, for god-sakes," well, that made you laugh. 
"it's okay. not your fault," you moved back into this side. 
"we're good, right?"
"right."
"rad. now how about we watch monster house intstead? wanna know a secret? that's what ned's afraid of. he calls it a fever dream," he snickered. 
"that's 'cause it is. also, did you just use 'rad'?"

Ohhhh hell yeah, Crisis Core, enjoy ur new war criminals and failed false heroism plotlines >:DDD
As a note, because I do think keeping these understandings in mind is helpful when looking at the story just going into it no spoilers
CC is a prequel to the original game that came out 10 years after OG's 1997 release and a few years after OG's movie sequel Advent Children
Therefore as all prequels do, CC's themes and specifically Zack are set-ups to be juxtaposed against Cloud and his story that follows (Remake as a divergence sequel also works best to be juxtaposed against the original continuities)
Almost all of the material in CC did not exist even in reference in OG prior to its release. CC was meant to explore the almost completely unexplored Zack Fair and prior
Part of the game's assumptions is that you already sorta know What Happens, therefore making it one of those dramatic irony tragedies for the player (it's a prequel, they're ALL like that), but whether you want to go digging on like. A summary or not is up to you. I do really like the game but you should know the whole thing it's kinda like starwars in that It Sure Is
Mmmmm love me false heroism 🤤 and don't worry I like piecing things together from weird angles so I'm OK without the whole plotted context
Posting this for anyone else curious

SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT SEEN DUNE 2!
So I watched Dune 2 yesterday and it was beyond amazing. Firstly let me say that if I could have a baby sandworm that would be so cool! and I would keep it in my backyard in the dirt to let it eat bad people that would try to get me. XD
Secondly, I thought the fight scene with Baustista and Paul's master could have been longer than just a few hits. I honestly think that if someone was wanting revenge, it would be more of a bigger fight.
Than just a few whip whacks and a stab with a knife. I know that it's not a huge part of the story (I'm assuming)
I do not like Paul's mom at all, she just rubs me the wrong way. I do not hate her just to simply hate on this woman. I don't like the choices that she made. just making that clear, even though I love the actress that plays her.
The kiss between uncle and nephew, I was like DAMNNNNNNN okay they are that kind of family. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 and then I understood why then was like "okay that explains it."
Sandworm riding oh man! watching Paul ride the sandworm had me feeling like I was gonna drowned in sand just from watching it. But it was really cool to see makes me wanna ride one too! But I know I would lose my balance and fall on my face.
The walk cool I like how "graceful" Chani and Paul looked doing it together.
Some parts were hilarious to me, the baby talking to Paul's mom was kind of trippy as hell.
I feel horrible for Chani having to watch Paul take the Emperor's daughter for his own. That kind of sucks to see someone you clearly like/love have to choose someone else for the sake of power and political reasons.
the reunion of teacher and student was sweet it make me smile.
Now the one particular part where Paul is walking with his hood over his head to talk to the group as a whole. It gave off very serious Anakin skywalker's switch to the darkside vibes very heavily, and Order 66.
Now I don't just say this because I am a starwars fan but only (1- 6) not the new ones. Anyways, I say this because it was a serious parallel for me to physically see it happening on screen that sort of slow decent type feel to it.
The biggest shock to me was to find out that Paul and that nasty Baron Harkonen were related! that felt like an ultimate betrayal to me for some reason, I guess it was because I loved the relationship between Paul and his father Leto. But I was literally like
"Okay, you mean to tell me, that Paul has been related to this guy the entire time! so initially he is killing his own people?! WTF type of twisted shit is this! Jessica, you have some serious issues woman you need some therapy! "
The other witch woman, that also shocked me that she was the one who actually planned the whole thing with the death of Atreides. That was... I have no words for that one.
Rautha was creepy as hell but in a good bad guy sort of way. And his knives oh man, as someone who collects knives and loves knives myself.... I want his knives!
All in all I loved the movie sadly, though where I watched the movie did not have the sandworm popcorn bucket. so no sandworm for me, but that is okay it was still worth going and still worth seeing.
Well done Timmy I am proud of you again for making something brilliant and being a revolving master of your craft. Kudos to you sir. This one is a MUST see.

Hey! This is for the Ship Request!
Hello! I am Keli and i am 5’12ish. I go by any pronouns but prefers she/her. I am an Introvert and i am a INFP. I LOVE music and my favourite genres are Kpop and Rock. I love Youtube and my favourite Youtuber is Markiplier! I love drawing to pass the time (mostly Garfield.) Some of the fandoms I am in are StarWars, Marvel, FNAF, Resident Evil and Markiplier. I would describe myself as a sarcastic type of person, but I can be kind and quiet.
Thank you! :)
I ship you with Heist!Markiplier!
Tumblr media
An introvert he can talk and ramble to, an INFP who will most likely not deviate from the plan... And to top it off, you could pick out cool rock soundtracks for the car while you're being chased! (And Mark's Korean, so surely Heist Mark will sing along to some of that k-pop!) He would let you come along on every criminal mission, acting fake-annoyed when you doodle on the map (he actually thinks it's enhancing the plan and cute). When you're not heisting he'll play any video game you're into and watch any movie, since you guys seem to have similar tastes! He likes your kind and quiet nature, as it helps mellow out his chaotic and impulsive one, but your relationship consists mostly of throwing so much sarcasm at one another that it's basically your guys own love language now.

My interest in starwars mostly lies in alien design but tbh the costuming and aliens have been lackluster. The best looking aliens in kenobi were ones reused from the sequels and were background characters. Initially it was argued that the grand inquisitor’s makeup was poorly done bc of fight choreography but not only did he not engage in saber combat but he’s officially down for the count for however long.
I know it’s not a movie so there’s no movie budget but that’s exactly the problem. Disney would rather make cheaper cash grab limited series than risk putting money into another poorly received movie. Any movies they do make will be devoid of any good ideas bc they won’t risk doing anything unexpected with the franchise.
If you think marvel is formulated starwars will be ten times worse moving forward. Solo’s failure and negativity surrounding the sequels has them scared for their life to do anything truly new. They’re even scared to recast original trilogy characters bc of solo. Starwars is destined for shitty lifeless cgi Luke copies.
All my love for starwars will be redirected in indulging my own stories and concepts. I don’t feel the need to completely separate myself from starwars bc I have always focused mostly on my own starwars ocs and one off fanarts so this blog will function as normal. Just know I’m not having the best time within the fandom.
This is still unfortunately a starwars blog but it’s also my blog.

Now that some time has passed on picard ... season 3...
I went back and read some of the comments people have read and wrote about the show.
Many , many ,many people have written about how they loved loved loved the member berries and fan service . Seeing the whole original cast together again ( for what they believe will be the last time on the screen as those characters).
Going on and on on how enjoyable it was to see all those call backs.
Some people even wrote that they got " everything right" and " didn't make any stupid continuity errors ".
That it was a wonderful trip down memory lane.
I too did enjoy seeing the original guys together again ( of course minus wes and Yar ).
In fact, for me if it had just been 10 episodes of picard going to bars and or restaurants and meeting up individually or in groups with the others to share a drink and a meal for the entire time I would have totally been fine with that.
But. Instead. We got a myopic view of what life was like in the turn of the century time between the 24 rth and the 25th.
Our heroes ( the 7 main plus Raffi and Seven ) 7 plus 9... oh and Jack... are the only people that can save the day.
The entire Starfleet is completely ineffectual and perhaps incompetent... feckless even, except for our 7 plus 3 heroes.
Thousands upon thousands of other starfleeters are basically powerless dippshitts. Only our 7 ( plus 3 ) can save the day.
Also. Every single starfleeter is affected across an entire quadrant. And every single starship has returned to Earth for the starfleet day party thingie.
Thousands of ships, all influenced with no exceptions, have returned home from thousands and thousands of light-years away.
And Earths' only defenses are the original 7 and 7 and that one starbase ( starport, spacedock ).
I know that the writing staff were made up of people ( at least some ) that previously wrote for Trek. But for fucks sake you'd never know it.
For all the nostalgia of past characters why why why was it that any time a character ( besides the original cast would show up )
Would almost immediately get killed off.
Is that good writing .
Is that nostalgia.
Is cherry picking what you want as a writer from the past episodes and from supplemental sources like startrek online and disregarding what is inconvenient good writing or good storytelling.
Picard is full of continuity errors and a level of fan service and not giving a shit about laws of physics and rules set by previous writers that rivals the jj starwars movies.
I noticed alot of critiques of picard stopped complaining once the Reincarnated Enterprise D showed up.
I like seeing The Sweet Sweet D once more as well. But I d rather have all the characters they killed off back instead.
The writing staff seemed to think that killing off secondary and minor established characters was the same thing as good writing.
I was pretty disappointed with all three seasons of picard and also more disappointed with how easily placated many of the people who wrote comments about the show felt.
It's the low bar of people's comments that allow paramount to keep shitting out a mediocre level of product.
I Love trek. And i think we all deserve better than the shite we have been getting.
And everytime you guys out there ( you know who you are ) settle for this ... jj ( kurtzman ) level of crap ... they ( cbs ) shit out some more.
Stop it.

Bio Points
Brie was born on December 13th 1993, at 1:13pm to twenty three year old Xavier and twenty two year old Antonella in a hospital in Boston Massachusetts. Growing up Brie developed at a normal rate though even though there was little musical or acting talents in either side of her parents family Brie took to both things and ran with them.
When her mom was able to, there where always some sort of casting calls in the Boston area, so when Brie was about five, one summer she went and auditioned for a bunch of commercials having gotten a few of them.
When her parents realized this was something that made Brie happy, even though they were just barely getting by some months, they made their move to New York City. It was one way to get Brie her extra curriculars, and more of them.
Once they where moved Brie also joined a dance studio - her mom working their after school to help offset the tuition. Though dance wasn't her favorite thing it was something to do when she didn't have auditions happening.
When she was making her way into High school, she wanted nothing more than to LaGuardia. Both her mom and dad said they'd figure out the tuition if she were to get into the school, and they held true to their promise.
Brie did not end up staying at LaGuardia all four years. While she was on a set for one of the shows she was going to have a few lines in she had one of her notebooks with her with her lyrics in it - and had her guitar on set with her as she was playing between breaks. some way or another, another agent gave his card to her dad who was on set with her. They went to the studio for a meeting, and some way it turned into her getting a record deal. She wrote a good majority of the album by herself, and in 2008 Forever & Always was on shelves.
As the years went on, Brie did end up graduating while on the road in 2011 promoting her next album Enchanted.
In-between albums, Brie moved out to LA, and started auditioning again - missing being around people and acting, though she did love writing she loved being on a set just as much. She got a role on the long running soap opera General Hospital as Kiki Jerome. She stayed on the show as she also wrote begin again and 1993.
After being recast on General Hospital, brie went head first into her music. Writing most of don't blame me while she was on a break from the industry. At this point as well, Brie moved back to New York, before also buying her parents a new house just outside of boston - knowing they wanted to move back ever since she left for LA
When she came back into the spotlight, she came full force, after don't blame me, two years later she relaced paper rings, and a year later she not only dropped cardigan & champagne problems, that was also the year she was cast onto one of the most popular teen dramas in america, based off of the books of the same name. She had originally auditioned for ava montrey, having enjoyed her when she read the first book of beautiful small untruthers, but she was ultimately casted as Hayley Maya. She adore Hayley when she was reading the book but she didn't think she could pull off the character from how she was written in the books - though producers seemed to enjoy her so she would take the role as it came to her and make Hayley her own - and she has.
Curranty, Brie just put out her most recent album, bejeweled the last fall, and is still on beautiful small untruthers - the rest is still unwritten..
AND THATS WHAT YOU MISSED ON GLEE
and now the ooc random info!!
yes, i did give brie almost all of taylors credits - I cannot see her writing debut (its too country for her) even though both fearless and speak now are also country they're like *less* country imo. though i am not giving her all the large tours like taylor has had - but i'd assume brie's music is just as popular as her irl counterpart but that is up to your character to decide if they like her or not lol
though its not listed in her bio points, girly has had several boyfriends so if anyone is interested hmu and we can figure something out. I would say the good majority of them she is now on good terms with, even if it took them a long time to get there
if i think of other things, this may get updated periodically
xoxo gossip girl... i mean DeeJay

ANDOR is by far the best Star Wars show to date, exploring everything from space brothels to prison revolts, wasn’t expecting Disney to go so hard with this series, but I appreciate them for doing so. I get not every fan is happy with it because there’s no lightsabers and not enough laser blasts for people with short attention spans, but I think everyone with that opinion is as boring as they think this show is. The politics behind what starts a rebellion are interesting actually and arguably the most Star Warsy a story can be. It’s the best directed/written show by Tony Gilroy and all of the other geniuses involved. Features the best dialogue from any Star War ever. Looks the most cinematic, it’s amazing how much better this looks compared to the previous programs just by shooting on location with practical sets, I get wanting to push what you can do with VFX technology, but this should be the gold standard moving forward. I liked Cassian Andor fine in ROGUE ONE, but wasn’t asking for him to get his own show, would have taken a Chirrut Îmwe one, I could use more Donnie Yen Star Wars action in my life. Diego Luna made me care more about the character in the first 10 minutes of this show than that entire movie, I don’t think he’s getting enough credit because he travels around meeting many other interesting characters, he’s kind of like Mad Max in that way, but he’s so good. So are Genevieve O'Reilly and Stellan Stellan Skarsgård. All of the pasty British imperials are diabolically great. Andy Serkis deserves an Emmy! If I had to complain about something it would be that some kid wore a green hoodie in a few episodes that didn’t seem like it belonged in a galaxy far far away and there was also a lack of aliens. Star Wars is best when there’s a bunch of weird little guys just roaming around, loved the few we got, but they need more next season. Wouldn’t change anything else. Prestige television if you ask me. 10/10. #Andor #StarWars #TVReview https://www.instagram.com/p/ClVTHnFuT5V/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

in review - once again! - 2022
below cut :/
i did... Very Little drawing this year ! - which i’m really not happy about, and i’m not sure how that happened tbh. that said, if nothing else, instead of drawing i got ‘a lot’ of printing done!
it was a good year for like. my Actual Practice - i spent a lot of time in the studio, got a piece (that i still like!) into an actual public show, as well as for the first time sold some work!! I also got to finally mess around with a riso machine, as well as someone offered to show me more litho stuff, so im hoping to pursue that much more in the year :) - as well as finally do a bunch of projects i’ve been putting off for ages & dear god, fckn draw more
====
watched a lot of movies though!!!
ltrbxd says i saw like. 115 or smth, but that’s an estimate bc i went to a couple of shorts showings (as well as fell asleep at a couple :’/ ). it’s been cool!! have finally seen a bunch of genre classics, and had like, a seeing thru the matrix moment~ where i could tell a whole bunch of influences that had affected smth i was watching ! id quite like to try to strike a similar balance this year as well; catching up on like. ‘genre staples’ but paired w the weirdest most niche shit i can find - fingers-crossed! (thinking about putting together a little round-up post of some of the ones i saw this year that really stuck around for me, but idk)
=====
Pods!!
usually i think - and by usually i mean like, last year - i’ve got more to say on this front, but a lot of the pods i really enjoyed this year were hold-overs from 2022-
AMCA: i’m someone who while they don’t care about starwars, DOES really like podcasts about it, which is weird & difficult to explain, but this is still so good!! 5 star podcast, 5 star runtime! everyDAY do i wish they could do a special about dune...
The RETURN of toxic podcast!: as before, a podcast only for me really, and the only podcaster that i do have smth approaching a parasocial relationship with - its just been nice to hear from Ale again!! The branch into ltrboxd reviews as been a fun venture too, imo.
FATT/SANGFIELLE: though difficult to believe, that DID happen this year!! Sangfielle is still so so good, and it got me back into both listening to bluff as well as trying so hard to catch up on ptzn, its just really fckn good what else is there to even say! (Met a lot of v cool people through this as well, which has been so cool :) )
Assorted Seán L@TDF podcasts: while he has dropped completely off the face of the internet - though hopefully not the earth - the man DOES still have years of weird (mostly movie) focused podcasting to go back in on, which i do find consistently compelling!! turns out when u practice putting thought into words and then presenting for long enough you do indeed build a skill. His found footage series (Hundreds of Pixelated Dead Bodies) series is great, and introduced me to a lot of stuff, ditto his other series (hundreds of dead bodies). I’m hoping to get through the big, thoughtful series (ALL UNITS) this year, and maybe I’ll get even luckier and he’ll return to the land of podcasting soon.
I’m sure i’ve missed some on this one, but these are the ones that stood out to me this time round, i guess. i’m excited for the new twioat series also, lol.
=====
i did like, almost no reading, or tv watching, though i did start, and plan - and not finish - a good couple of knitting projects. didn’t get out to see many gallery shows either, which isn’t so great - though i DID manage to have a startlingly good year socially ?
made some new friends, had a whole private theme month devoted to the films of al pacino, and got to see two bands/musicians that i really love play live!! Good Ol’ Stevie P w @silverview (<33) && TWRP - both of which were so so great, and made me wish i got out more lol
lots to be done this year, as per, but hopefully it’ll be fine

Can someone please point me to where the fandom starwars discords are?
Went to the star wars shows one and everyone was done nothing but complaining about how crap Takes of the Jedi were... Srsly. Wtf... Are you ppl watching the same thing?!?
They were shorts! And they were awesome!
SPOILERS AHEAD FOR ALL EPS OF TALES OF THE JEDI
Ep 1.
O.m.g BB! Ahsoka's little nubby head!!!! So darn cute! Mama! Ahsoka is a hottie! Had hoped we'd see Master Ploon pick her up but still cool. Also I love the animal interaction. So its nots just an Obi-Wan thing its a jedi thing?
Ep 2.
BB! Qui-Gon!!! Where's his padawan braid?? How is he the oldest looking young man? And seriously this whole situation? I too would be team Dooku. Justice. Also... Just me or are Team Dooku not very good at blocking? Everyones hurt or dead... Obi could've saved them all..
Ep 3.
Jedi really suck at investigating. No srsly. See the whole Ahsoka arc. Mace suffers from this by the book thing too. I'm Team Dooku here too. Also nice to see that relations aren't bad for Yoda linage! He's quite proud of Qui. And wants to meet Obi!!! So all those hints in prequel movies... Disaster lineage couldve been...
Ngl it recently occured to me that Grogu is now technically part of disaster lineage and that is a funny awesome thought.
Ep 4.
Again with the shit at investigating. Yaddle you see that shit you run! You also had a massive window right there to freedom and you... Dont escape? Don't fall the other way?! Like come on!! Thats so dumb. But Dooku being upset at his apprentice being killed... Yep, disaster linage family feels. To canonise the deletion of Kamino is cool as ok. Really bad record keeping practices if you think about it. But otherwise cool to see. Despite how sith Dooku is he never gets with the yellow eyes tho y'all notice? I mean his purpose is.. noble.ish.
I get it. Have realised I too would probably be a horrible jedi because Team Dooku all the way. Kill all the corrupt senators. I mean aside from the waging pointless war on innocent planets and enslaving 3mill clones.. but eat the rich? Yes. Agree.

Bail!!!! Most underrated mvp. Haha suck it inquisitor guy. They're all really shit compared to actual jedi... Stupid brother. He deserves to die to. Whats that saying? You snitch get hit or something? Very much applies here. The rise of fulcrum huh.
