”Maybe Leo is albino, maybe Leo is just Like That (tm)”

IS HE THOUGH? WHAT ABOUT MARIA WITH HER PASTY WHITE LASHES AND HAIR? IS LEO REALLY AN ANOMALY?

Let’s talk about why Cainhurst knights wear those white wigs specifically, why every Pthumerian in-game has white hair, and how their DESCENDANTS probably WOULD HAVE HAD WHITE HAIR AT SOME POINT, why the women chosen to bear blood children lose their melanin and get white hair afterwards. Let’s talk about how white hair is just a Cainhurst-Pthumerian thing in general!!

It’s the blood. It’s the fuckign blood gdbhs. It turns their hair white or some shit and that’s why the knights wear wigs, because they WANT that to happen to them. They just are restricted from it the way the guards are or something. SOMETHING.

I don’t know what the explanation is, but I know that Leo the Vileblood Drifter is not albino. Fight me.

Yes, I’m still being a petty bastard about this fhdj. Yes @ lore council, I am vagueblogging you, come fight me (Val is exempt. For now).

#i love being this specific and petty about lore shit lmao #it’s even funnier when you remember that 60% of the general bb fandom doesn’t even realize that cainhurst is connected to the pthumerians #or doesn’t even believe it gfhdj #and yet here i am screaming about it like it’s a normal tuesday #anyway i’m challenging the lore council to a dashboard war again #this has massive “I’M STILL MAD AT U” vibes #ftgyhdujiks #lore council #lore council shenanigans #bloodborne lore #vileblood drifter leo #cainhurst #silly post #bloodborne

[philtstone]

its true that a certain measure of inescapable grief is built into any loving tolkien relationship but i personally think everyone focuses WAY too much on the grief bit when it comes to aragorn and arwen. like yes, obviously, they both die in the end. they lose a lot. their little appendix successfully makes me cry every time i revisit it. thats part of the point. all human beings die. what comes after is a matter of philosophical debate & tolkien chose to explore that debate in a certain way.

HOW EVER.

everyone seems to forget that they were, before death, happily married for like a hundred and twenty years

not just that, but these are 2 people who knew each other very well for like, 60 years before marriage, and were engaged in the most chronically long distance arthurian yearning-y way for 48. YEARS. of those 60. now theyre ruling a country together and are simultaneously the strangest most incomprehensible people the average gondorian has ever met and also inextricably THE NICEST. both of them have literal magic powers. theyre so beautiful and encouraging people regularly develop really unmanageable crushes on them after like one (1) interaction. high likelihood theyre both into very kinky stuff. big horse girl energy. aragorn can track weather patterns by tasting dirt. i genuinely dont think arwen wears shoes. you KNOW they both sing to the trees sometimes. their first act in front of The People was to make out with tongue. they have at least 4 (3? definitely three. i imagine 6) kids who are according to the lore total racial anomalies.

there is just so much comedic potential here. so many shenanigans. so much VERVE and HILARITY and FUN. they probably have telepathic arguments at the high council dinner table because thats just something they can ... do

the reunited kingdoms had to put up with this for 120 years & everyone only ever talks abt the sad stuff. personally i feel like this is a crime.

#phil reads lotr #tho technically this is born from the tragic lack of arwen in the books #specifically two towers #in her absence i am having Thoughts #lord of the rings #arawen #aragorn #arwen

Dr Abirt Kravitz [Updated version]

Hello here is the long awaited reference to my 963 Rewrite named Dr Abirt Kravitz! [Here is the old version <- The fun facts from here hasn't changed and is still canon.]

She uses any pronouns! She's too old and overworked to give a shit how you refer to/perceive her.

He's O5-7 aka 'The Eternal'. He's been around for more than 3 centuries. A historian but also enjoys archaeology and linguistics. His responsibilities on the council are the Foundation's Housing system (due to his past as personnel director) as well as a slight hand in Foundation Educations.

I drew a lot of inspiration from Phosphophyllite in Houseki No Kuni / Land Of The Lustrous for my SCP-963 and also Abirt's concept in general. Something something Ship Of Theseus thing going on over there.

I'm also rewriting the entire family into the Kravitz family. The AU for them is called Recollection AU and you can look at Rec AU's lore here <- link to Toyhouse!

Abirt does have a tumblr rp blog called @seven-pink-glasses but the things on there aren't 100% canon (especially with the character interaction) but it does peek a lil into Abirt's daily life + shenanigans!

Also if you're interested in Abirt things, they're all tagged under #Abirt Kravitz. The AU this is from is #Recollection AU where non-Abirt stuff is at. #The Kravitz Family is for the entire family stuff

Texts from the first image under the cut:

Dr Abirt Kravitz || 'The Eternal'

O5 Council member (O5-7)

Genderfluid. Jewish Origin. Age unknown though is rumoured to be above 3 centuries. Varying appearance but is fond of jewelry. Word says they're immortal due to a cursed bloodline.

O5-7 plays a major role in personnel and housing, and a minor one in Foundation education. Big on mentoring too. Many personnel were handpicked and taught by her.

Most know him for his lack of formalities and fatherly tendencies but is also easily irritable and holds personnel to a high standard.

(Summarised from The Black Queen's report)

Scp-963 Description:

A teardrop-shaped gemstone made of amber approximately 3.5cm in length. Within it contains a piece of unidentified flora from The Land Where No Name Is Spoken .

Heals and regenerates any injuries by replacing flesh and bone with amber and resin. Foreign limbs introduced to him will be reconnected and transformed to its former state.

Sometimes the amber and tree resin in xer body hardens, causing mobility issues. Frequently switches mobility aids.

um um um !!! shyly presents my silly little guys,,,,

( sorry all the art i have of them is SUPER old ;o; )

but here are my goofy little guys !!

mao is a catboy ex-deity of luck who is trying to grant the wish of xander, a young and hopeful yet adorably naive inventor who doesnt really know what his wish is quite yet,,, ?? but theyre both working on figuring it out together !!

mao originally only stuck around helping xander in hopes of granting his wish to gain back his deity status, but after realizing the High Council ( the guys up top in charge of the deities ) had no intentions of bringing him back as a deity even if he could grant his wish, he found himself searching for some sort of purpose in his newly-mortal form. and so, he joins xander as they both go on journeys of self-discovery in hopes of finding their place in the world, and of course having their fair share of shenanigans along the way !

theyre very unfinished rn and their lore has been a work in progress for like four years now so sorry if some things here dont make sense TTOTT ;;;;;;;;;

Thank you for sharing!!!! I love them!

hii i think i huave covid

Mirror!AU (aka[to me] Gay Marriage Universe) is a surprisingly + weirdly Kind Alternate, Somewhat-Parallel Universe where Theta Sigma* acted on a panicked impulse and went back for Koschei before running away from Gallifrey with him, and Susan. Gay Shenanigans Ensue, for Centuries. *the Doctor, for a while

Was up until like 5 AM thinking a lot about Mirror!Thoschei during + after the War, mostly Nine!Theta & Simm!Koschei, Ten!Theta & Simm!Koschei, and Eleven!Theta & Darvill!Koschei. Have some info dumping below (and in the link above in their under construction character page). If it’s confusing I’m only a little sorry.

Nine!Theta and Simm!Kosch— separated for a while after the Time War. The Doctor drops the Doctor at some point, begins to go by Theta to everyone again. Theta was in denial about not knowing about Koschei’s state of being afterwards, and the fact that he just fled Gallifrey after the War without checking on literally anyone. Soon meets Rose, and then Jack during this crisis. Jacobi!Koschei eventually escaped Gallifrey+the Council, regenerates into Simm!, and goes through a series of events to track down his husband.  Theta and Koschei do a brief bit of arguing and a lot of trauma exchanging and wound poking in these faces. If they didn’t have other people around they would wallow for entirely too long. Luckily* Nine is followed by Ten. 

Ten!Theta and Simm!Koschei— Need projects or they will Die. Horribly codependent. Separated for too long. Too many close calls when they’re reunited. It takes a lot to get them to leave each other’s sides or heads in these faces. And if it happens forcibly there’s hell to pay.  Both a bit too smug and egotistical together (saying something, considering it’s them). Both absolutely too obsessed with the other. Both a bit too aware of what they can get the other to do, and what they’re capable of doing together, near the end.  Ten & Simm regenerate together, practically on top of one another. It feels ritualistic. It feels like sharing something nobody is supposed to share, like that. It’s euphoric. It’s not good for either of them, really.

Eleven!Theta & Darvill!Koschei— An AU on top of an AU, because I’m worth it. Possessive, over-protective, doting, and mildly reclusive until other people & TARDISes have anything to say about it. Despite this they need company or they’ll combust and get way too self-involved in each other’s heads. Still avoiding Gallifrey like the plague despite, and because of, Theta’s growing anxiety about regeneration cycles. 

None of them are Okay.

I haven’t gone on long enough to give Twelve!Theta and Gomez/Missy!Koschei && Thirteen!Theta and Dhawan!Koschei much long term thought as far as lore and Universe differences.

I do think one of the two pairs tries, a bit tongue-in-cheek, to be “divorced” for a while. To prove they can go without the other. For a change of pace. They’ve never tried it before! Centuries upon centuries of living, no divorce! Let’s give it a shot for kicks— oh we’re both wrecks. Oh no neither of us are actually acting divorced or separated. Oh this is aggressively gay.

#ooc ! #getting the vapors thinking about my AU not-OCs. #fanfic universe that was solely created to taunt the Doctor (or the Master. or whoever adjacent to them stumbles across them.) that grew- #-by accident bc I love my dramatic wet feral bonded pair shelter dogs. #thoschei ; #doctor who au #character; mirror theta & koschei #about; mirror theta & koschei #thoschei #my sillies…………….. #eventually i’ll make a fanart tag. maybe.

If you could mix transformers universes what would you do

Hm. Well honestly that is a question that would require a bit of thought to answer well. But off of the top of my head I feel like bayverse and tfp could mix well due to the relatively similar personalities of the bots involved. Or better yet, G1 and Animated due to the ties between the two.

In tfa the G1 war is a canon thing that happened (at least I am pretty sure), meaning it would be quite easy to swap around a little lore and make everything work out well.

G1 & TFA Lore Mix

It wouldn't be hard to drop G1 Optimus in there and throw him into the plot as an ancient war hero who fought for the Autobots. He would have the Matrix and be a true Prime, an actual herald of Primus during the early years of the war. Whatever his origin story, him and Megatron would hate each other but have this odd Perry the platypus and Dr. Doofenshmirtz like relationship to keep with the fun G1 feel. But sooner or later Optimus would start becoming a threat to the Autobot high council and eventually he would see the corruption. At some point during the height of the war when the council believed themselves near victory, they would try to get rid of him due to his too good morality getting the way of their goals. At some point Optimus would disappear without a peep, prompting intense backlash from Autobots and Decepticons alike.

Megatron and his Decepticons, while still not fond of Optimus, respected him greatly and would lash out, knowing that most likely the Prime had been killed. And Optimus's most loyal Autobots would rebel but ultimately find themselves slowly being picked off and mind wiped or sent out to dead-end positions where they would have no influence. The council would rewrite the story of Optimus Prime, turning him into a fairy tale figure, a made up story of loyalty and bravery to the Autobot cause for young sparklings. And with time, Optimus Prime would fade into obscurity outside of the imaginations of sparklings, his legacy quietly removed and his records and assets destroyed.

Optimus's young son Bumblebee would be put into stasis, too small to remember just about anything in regards to his Creator. He would only be woken vorns upon vorns later when not a spark would remember his lineage, at which point he would be drafted into boot camp. All of Optimus's old comrades save Ratchet, Kup, and a few others would be... removed, new sparklings being given their names to make up for the loss. Ratchet and the few that remained would be blackmailed into remaining silent, their skills too useful to be lost and their disappearances being far too suspicious to be acted upon. Ultra Magnus hoping to save at least some of the legacy of his old commander and Prime, would take control of the Autobots as best as he was able. He would try to stop the implementation of the title of Prime as a military rank to no avail and struggle viciously to preserve the ideals he and his fellows fought for. He would try, but with time he would grow apathetic and detached from it all.

Eventually a young bot would be given the name Optimus by Kup in the hope that the youngling might live up to his namesake. And with that done, transformers animated would proceed as usual, with Optimus taking the fall for Sentinel and going to earth with his repair crew in an attempt to get the Allspark. Shenanigans would ensue and very little would change story wise besides a few small cultural things and perhaps a snippet or two of Bumblebee still loving the old sparkling tale of Optimus Prime the war hero. He would also definitely poke fun at the current Optimus all the time for being named after a fairy tale figure while secretly admiring him for it. Ratchet would also likely struggle to treat Optimus normally considering he served under the original and was his best friend. But overall everything would be normal... until the last of the Primes is unearthed trapped in a stasis pod.

Cue everything going to heck in a handbasket as the original Optimus wakes up very much confused, angry, and unsure as to what in the pits he is supposed to be doing. Not only that but he would have a bit of a breakdown trying to find his sparking, likely going onto believe that his little one is either dead or long gone. Ratchet would do what he could, but the original Optimus and the new would bicker, not really angerly, just because of differing styles of leadership and cultural misunderstandings. Maybe to make everything better the original Prime is weak from slumbering for so long, not at full strength or otherwise being mostly out of action for quite some time. He would become a mentor figure and work from the sidelines for most of the show, adding a more mystical element to everything or even a humorous aspect due to his age.

It could go many ways, but it would be fun nonetheless and has amazing potential for fluff and angst.

[thackerybinx01]

I’ve tried writing this 3 different times and gotten nowhere with it but imagine a fantasy world where creatures and magical being exist alongside humans but mainly stick to their own spaces depending on the type of being and location.

Dragons, as a higher tier category of creature and just being that much more powerful very rarely interact with mundane humans and not much is known about them.

So imagine how jarring it is when somehow you the average human end up with a clutch of dragon eggs. (For some reason their bearer was wounded and ended up in your territory when they were fleeing for safety. Their magic guiding them somewhere safe - to you and they use the last of their magic to imprint some memories on how to hatch the eggs and what was coming. You fight tooth and nail to keep the mother alive but eventually they slip away at peace knowing that at least the eggs will be safe)

And they are safe! You never expected anything like this and you’re nowhere near ready but these are your eggs now! These are your babies. You spend weeks caring for the eggs and discreetly hunting down every scrap of information you can on dragon lore. You sing to them. You keep a fire going and let them rest in the flames to stay warm. You keep them in a sling for skin to shell contact, you do everything you can and more.

But then they hatch and even though the bond is strong - you’re still human. As they grow it’s clear that you have no idea how to really raise them and even though it tears you apart you reach out to the dragon council - knowing that they will come and take them from you but praying that they can be raised amongst their own kind. Bc you love them and they deserve the best even if it’s not you.

The council immediately sends a high ranking official (who you hate on sight bc he’s coming to take your children and who - doesn’t hate you but is suspicious and intrigued about how you ended up with dragon children and how they seem to be thriving even though they have a human raising them) to collect the younglings but shenanigans ensue and it becomes clear that you and the baby dragons can’t be parted.

Romance ensues bc the official can’t leave without the dragons, you’re not supposed to come with and in the mean time he begins co-parenting with you so the babies can learn how to survive.

ULTRAKILL's Greek Folklore references (2)

Aaaye remember this post? Let's say Sisyphus already came out as a boss and I have quite a bunch of stuff to talk about. I'll focus only on him since everything else was covered in the previous essay.

Just like in the previous essay, BEFORE YOU GO DOWN this is, to no one's surprise, filled with spoilers. While it's true that lore in this game is secondary, if you wanna learn it by yourself when playing it, then save this reading for later. ULTRAKILL is avaible at Steam, it's filled with blood, but it's still a masterpiece, me thinks.

· Small Introduction:

There's many people out there who have already talked about everything that reminds them of the Divine Comedy regarding the game, besides the fact that it takes inspiration in DMC too; but almost no one seems to notice the details that reference Greek folklore, and it's true that they are not THAT important, most likely i'm just imagining references in places where there are actually none, but this is what brainrot does to a girl who- well, is a classical philology student lmao. So wether they are true or not, i'll still will write this thing down or else i'll explode with my thoughts.

· ULTRAKILL's King Sisyphus:

"King Sisyphus has acted in secret until now, amassing an army whose strength and numbers swell, but now there is no need to hide anymore. We have lived in the shadow of Heaven long enough to forget the taste of fear. Now the Sisyphean Insurrectionists prepare for war.

❝ I have heard of Minos beginning a peaceful revolution, but our King Sisyphus knows such pacificity will gain no favor from our cruel captors. He knows that one can only fight power with power, and he shall lead us to freedom.❞

^ Text from a book found in the second level of the Greed Layer.

If you remember Minos' lore, Minos instead decided to do a peaceful revolution, building his own shenanigans in the Lust Layer, but Sisyphus didn't think the same way; he decided to do a revolution too, but it was anything but peaceful.

❝ The Sisyphean Insurrectionists were an army of Husks gathered and trained by King Sisyphus for overthrowing Heaven's control of Hell, freeing the sinners from their eternal torment. […]

Upon the establishment of the Council and subsequent return of peace to Heaven, Gabriel and an army of angels were sent down to crush the insurrection and subjugate Sisyphus' army.

Although their battle was well-fought, the inexperienced Insurrectionist could not match the educated strategy of the angels, who quickly descended upon King Sisyphus with great force, eventually overpowering and killing him, leaving the Insurrectionists without a chain of command.

Left scattered and disoriented, the warriors were easily picked off one by one, their bodies cut apart, leaving behind only the bare essentials to carry on their eternal punishment of hauling heavy boulders up the monuments of mankind's arrogance and greed.

Although the blood of their enemies still stains their bodies and their grasp still clutches their fallen foes, their will and fierce fury only serve as mental torment in knowing how close they were to freedom.❞

^ Terminal data of the Sisyphean Insurrectionists in the game

The Insurrectionists mantain Greek Sisyphus' original punishment, carrying a rock up to the top of a mountain ( n the game, a pyramid) that will eventually fall down again.

(Greek amphora of Sisyphus pushing the rock in the Underworld, meanwhile, Persephone watches over him, making sure that he does not try to avoid his punishment. [Yes the dick is out.])

Now, more interesting details… Greek King Sisyphus wasn't that much liked by the gods since he, wellp, cheated death a couple times and... Screwed up a lot of times too. For context:

(Apollodorus - Bibliotheca) He murdered his guests, which was seen as extremelly horrible since one of the main important things in Ancient Greece was hospitality. And a king who murders his guests isn't that good of a host.

They sent Death (Θάνατος [Thanatos]) to catch him for this main reason. But Sisyphus tricked him and captured him. And since Death being captured meant no people dying, Ares then went to go and stop Sisyphus.

Knowing he was gonna be killed, Sisyphus asked his wife to not give his corpse a proper funeral, and instead to throw him away. After this, he lied to the gods and manipulated them, telling either Persephone or Hades (or both) that his wife disrespected him by not giving him a proper funeral, and they allowed his soul to go back to his corpse.

After Sisyphus had died of old age, is when his punishment starts. He commited so many crimes and yet, the way he felt was never spoken. Even blind and old in the Underworld, he would continue his punishment.

Greek Sisyphus was thrown into the Underworld with a punishment and Greek Minos was turned into a Judge of the Underworld; in this game, Minos' corpse is still used as some kind of Judge… More or else, as I said before. Meanwhile, Sisyphus corpse isn't used at all, it is just imprisoned, with no head, even. Perhaps that has something to do with the Greek Sisyphus being punished instead of turning into a Judge of Hell, or similar, like the Greek Minos was?

Oh, by the way, unlike Minos being blind being due to him being a Judge and Justice is blind; Sisyphus was blinded by greed, so he literally is blinded by gold. Just like how the Greek Minos was a Judge as well, and Greek Sisyphus was a greedy king who killed guests in his palace in order to get their goods, a violation of guest-obligations in Ancient Greece.

❝ To him, fighting an impossible battle with full knowledge of its futility and taking joy in just the act of resistance itself is the ultimate rebellion against the oppressor. ❞

^ Terminal data of Sisyphus' Prime in the game.

"Ah… So concludes the life and times, of King Sisyphus. A fitting end, to an existence defined by futile struggle. Doomed, from the very start. And I don't regret a SECOND of it!" — Sisyphus Prime final lines after being defeated by the player.

Both Greek Sisyphus and ULTRAKILL's Sisyphus are cunning, in Homer's Iliad he's described as the most cunning of the greeks, before Odysseus takes that title. (And, fun fact, Odysseus is considered Sisyphus' son by many tragedy authors! If you remember my other ULTRAKILL essay, you'll remember how I considered the Wrath layer to be an Odyssey reference). In the Odyssey, Sisyphus' punishment is described, but we don't exactly know how he feels. Does he feel regret? Does he not? We can suppose that he does, since that punishment is... Yeah, tiring. But those are just assumptions, so, who knows, perhaps he does not regret anything, just like ULTRAKILL's Sisyphus.

It's true that ULTRAKILL's Sisyphus is most likely based on later-on depictions of the myth, philosophical interpretations and such, but that's not my job, I just ramble.

In any case, Greek Sisyphus even tricked the divine, and ULTRAKILL's Sisyphus fought the divine.

In the end, we can't see none of the two Sisyphus' faces during their punishment, and yet... ❝ One must imagine Sisyphus happy.❞

#this even turned kind of poetic in some way. i'm pretty happy :) #maybe i'll remake the other essay one day. when i have more time to research about Minos #and also do the whole Wrath layer being an Odyssey reference too #but not today. i lack of time. #hopefully i made you get interested in the game #or in another case. that i showed you that this game has more than just DMC references #greek mythology #ultrakill #sisyphus #sisyphus prime

Story: Scratch is a sakah (”touched one”) born to a Carrion Tribe in the Demon Wastes. He left the barbaric, nomadic life of the tribe for scholarly study in the mythic city, Ashtakala. He fell in love with another tiefling there, and they married. She ran away to Sharn after theft allegations. Scratch followed her, and spent the next year looking for her in the big city, busking for spare change, living in the lower wards, and joining the private bard collective, The Circle of Song. When he found his wife a minor celebrity and married to a Phiarlan man, he took her to court. The divorce proceedings caught the attention of the Baroness of Phiarlan. When the striking underdog won the case, the Baroness took notice and hired them to her staff.  A grain of sand from Ashtakala lingers in Scratch, giving them a bit of soul magic, able to bind people to secrecy with their name and consent. After some years working for the Baroness, he was recommended around the high status of Breland. They have worked contract law with Sivis, patent law with Cannith, and trade contracts with Orien. They are the personal legal council of Alden d’Orien, though their loyalty still lies with the Baroness. They remain on retainer for her as council and a confidant. They are now affectionately (or rather derogatorily) referred to as “the devil lawyer of Sharn.”

When Alden’s son gets kidnapped by the Daask and the party gets involved to help, Scratch gets roped in to the shenanigans. As things escalate and the Patron (a mysterious entity) becomes a through-line, the Baroness asks him to investigate further. As Scratch learns more, they fall in too deep and the Patron makes themself known to him. Now, he has formed a new sort of contract.

“You are just a gnat crawling closer to the center of the spider’s web. Struggle, little gnat. You’ll only become more entangled.” -The Patron

For the ship classification ask game: taraprowl, megop, and skystar

OMG they all ended up being "Makes sense, compels me" so I'm changing the Makes Sense definition a lil to be more like "I want to/can see it happening"

Taraprowl: Doesn't make sense, Compels me

(Affectionately) What the fuck is wrong with them. Seperately. And then TOGETHER? crazy. Unfortunately I'm not a big enough Tarantulas OR Prowl fan (yet) to have LONG takes about em. But they intrigue me, and also make me laugh

Megop: Makes sense, Compels me HELLO? Friends-to-lovers-to-enemies-to-lovers of ALL TIME. For Totally Tactical Reasons these two have lived RENT FREE in each others' heads for ALL OF TIME. If not for some homies I have whacking me over the head if I claim these two as The Blueprint, I would say thEY WERE THE BLUEPRINT. They're the blueprint to me. I do think the fanon spinning the canon "Megatron hates him due to Optimus stealing power that is rightfully his" into "Megatron hating him for seemingly taking the 'easy way out' of the revolution, and getting a position of power while leaving the rest of the faction in the dust" is MUCH more preferable to me.

And if we make it a romantic falling out? All the better. I want high court romantic drAMA in those scenes, I want to see them backlit by a setting sun through stained glass at wherever the Council holds court as they BREAK UP. WHERE IS IT. Ending a war through love found again or finding love after somehow coming together for a truce? OH I EAT THAT UP

Skystar: Makes sense, Compels me

"Fire in the Sky" shook me to the fucking core. it FLOORED me. I say this all the time but ohhh heehee hohoo let's watch funny Hasbro advertising show, hehe saturday cartoon shenanigans where all the characters are archety- THE WHINY BACKGROUND BITCH HAS LORE?? THE FUCKER HAS A DRAMATIC LOSS OF A LOVED ONE??? THE LOVED ONE SHOWS UP?? SOMEONE HOLD ME???

Oh my head my head, these two THESE TWO. The sweetest guy of all time (not all the time, he deserves to be a lil bit of a lil shit sometimes), gentle giant, pacifist scientist. AND THAT THING? THAT THING? I'm in love. The history. The EXCLUSIVE trust. The disbelief from literally everyone else. UGH!!!

I know this is pretty much an open invitation for middle aged white dudes in their mom's basement with nothing better to do than to rag on a stranger on the internet, but...

I've had this idea for a star-wars fanfic that basically throws out the entire origins of the Jedi order, mostly because I don't know that deep of lore, I've only watched the movies and the clone wars series. Anything else I learned was from reading fanfic.

The idea was that in the beginning there was a counsel made up of the three sides of the force working together. The light, the dark, and the grey. Each side wanting balance, for light cannot exist without darkness not can the dark exist without light. The dark didn't mean evil, the dark weren't sith, the sith were a small group that were just starting to threaten all three sides.

Then through time travel force shenanigans/magic, the main head for each side appeared to the Jedi council during the clone wars. Then fix-it fic stuff happens, Anakin doesn't fall, padme doesn't die, Ahsoka doesn't leave,and maybe Obi-wan gets with Jango, who knows.

But I just wanted to share something that's been rolling around in my brain.
