Zeroes: When I first met you, I did not like you.

Kylo: I'm aware of that.

Zeroes: But then you and I had some time together.

Kylo: Uh-huh?

Zeroes: It did not get better.

Twilight and Warriors arguing/bantering

They crack me up. Literally almost every scene where they interact is like this.

(Also in general Warriors has his mouth open more)

That is all

The way Crosshair trusted without any doubt that Echo would be able to do it and get them onto that ship they got on well in between clone wars s7 and bad batch s1 and I stand by that

Edmon Rampart in The Bad Batch

I'm not normal about the animation and how fucking expressive his face is! And how did I never recognize his bright brown eyes?! He looks so concerned in this last scene.

#just read somewhere that he had a glow down #are you fucking kidding me #like all the misery seems to suit him #and he didn't lost his snark #I'm completely normal #tbb spoilers #the bad batch season 3 #the bad batch #admiral rampart #edmon rampart #tbb rampart #star wars #zirkonias gifs

Star Wars: Rebels bit we missed out on:

Ezra makes some snarky comment or joke about Zeb’s smell. It doesn’t matter how mature and responsible Ezra is, he’s still a teenager and embodies the “little brother messing with his siblings” energy so well.

Zeb is used to that banter. Such comments from Ezra don’t have meanness or spite behind them, not anymore. They’re family, and families have specific dynamics.

And then Kallus (who isn’t as used to that dynamic) reflexively shoots back to Ezra with, “Bold words from a human teenage boy going through puberty.”

The rest of the Spectres have to try so hard not to lose their shit completely at Kallus’ retort. Living on the Ghost means that they all got used to dealing with teenagers going through puberty (and teenage boys just smell). Ezra loses the ability to speak coherently for an impressively long time. Chopper keeps a recording of Kallus’ comment (because it’s so good and he can use that to torment Ezra further).

Zeb has to hide the fact that he adores how snarky and slyly funny Kallus is.

#teenage boys have the Funk #Kallus snarking at Ezra because of that keeps Ezra honest #especially if Ezra was commenting on Zeb’s scent #the entire Ghost crew have trouble keeping straight faces when Kallus gives an excellent and well-placed snack-down #star wars #rebels #swr #ezra bridger #garazeb orrelios #zeb orrelios #alexsandr kallus #agent kallus #fulcrum #hera syndulla #kanan jarrus #sabine wren #chopper

It's so sad that Hera and Sabine got distilled down to their entire personalities basically being "snarky." Like Filoni took the fact that Hera and Sabine had senses of humor that could, yes, make them snarky in Rebels, and revolved their ENTIRE personalities around that in the Ahsoka show.

Like in Rebels, Hera is snarky sometimes, sure, but she's also one of the warmest and most nurturing personalities on the show as well as someone who DOES believe in systems (good faith systems like the Rebellion, not like the Empire obviously) and in respecting that the leadership set in place has good reasons for their rules and orders. Hera is the person who gets upset if the OTHER characters choose to just do whatever they want rather than follow orders. So yeah, she's snarky, but that doesn't mean she's someone who just does whatever she wants. It means she's someone who has a sense of humor.

And Sabine in Rebels is snarky, yes, but she has an entire arc where she goes from being a literal bratty teenager who has some issues with authority and blind loyalty to being a merciful, patient, compassionate, mature adult who respects the necessity of making decisions based on the greater good. She does still like explosives, yes, but her snark and her appreciation for a good explosive does not make up the entirety of her personality. She acts like a bit more of a bratty teenager at the beginning because she IS a teenager in the beginning, but she grows OUT of that by the end of the show and over the course of MULTIPLE different arcs per season. The fact that she's snarky doesn't mean she doesn't respect good strategy and tactics OR that she'd abandon a ceremony honoring someone she loves that she's been asked to speak at OR that she's someone who would make the selfish choice that literally undoes someone else's sacrifice. It just means she happens to have a sense of humor.

Snark is not a personality nor is it something you can base a character's personality AROUND. And yet that seems to be exactly what Filoni has done on the Ahsoka show. They're snarky characters so that means that they disrespect authority, do whatever they want, and act based purely on emotion. How interesting. How unique.

#star wars #ahsoka show #ahsoka spoilers #sabine wren #hera syndulla #by contrast ezra seems to have LOST all of his snark #like poor ezra is just a sweet little bean who doesn't have a single edge to him anymore #and sure he's pretty likable still but EZRA HAD SOME EDGE TO HIM #he was a street kid! #he grew up with the ghost crew who express love through teasing #the man knows how snark with the best of them and you wouldn't know that if all you've seen is the ahsoka show #ahsoka is so calm and aloof that she's not snarky so much as just a distant asshole

My Bad Batch/Clone Wars hyper fixation isn't ending anytime soon. I'm taking this moment to share my favorite clone.

I'm not sure this is really much of a surprise given the theme of this blog, but yeah, it's Crosshair.

#I've loved him so much ever since first seeing him in season 7 of tcw #and his development ever since then has been nothing short of amazing #his snark is at its peak #I wish I could have more scenes with the batch as a while. with tech and all #but I'm a wishful thinking type... so #tcw crosshair #tbb crosshair #the bad batch #star wars the clone wars #tcw s7 #reblog with your favorite clone to make it a thread if you want

Kylo: Am I right, Zeroes?

Zeroes: I’m almost certain you’re not, but to be fair, I wasn’t listening.

I'm trying to decide which one of these Imperial castoffs has the most condescending attitude:

Conclusion:

#the bad batch #the bad batch spoilers #star wars rebels #ap-5 #rampart #i adore ap-5 #rampart is an oil slick of a human being #the snark is strong in both of them

I will also note on the Anakin-Padme relationship:

That I really do tend to see it, and write it, as an innately toxic thing but for entirely human reasons, because if Anakin is always one set of footsteps away from Darth Vader then what was there for him to fall? Where I view the toxicity stems from a dynamic not unlike what I write for and with Death and Dream in Sandman, though explicitly romantic where the other isn't.

Anakin puts Padme on a pedestal and worships the ground she walks on, where actual human Padme Naberrie is far more complicated than that. She is as impulsive as he is, and where he is unapologetically violent and capable of swift steps to it, she calls it 'aggressive negotiations' and jokes about it while pretending that the ultimate result is not, in fact, the same. Nine in ten of the flaws stem from Anakin ultimately rushing into a marriage with the first woman he saw after a week and never considering the consequences, nor that a relationship takes a lot more work than that, and that he's ultimately a rabid golden retriever garbage fire man.

The other tenth was the secrecy that ultimately, given Anakin has zero impulse control or ability to consider the consequences of his actions blended with great power, I believe was Padme herself. And ultimately that she was willing to lie to her friends and her family about the marriage to, in my view, keep one thing for herself that was Padme Naberrie's and neither the Senator nor the former Queen's, and this is a not unimportant part of why things failed. I also believe that in this regard that if Anakin Skywalker were left to himself he would have led a ticker tape parade celebrating that he won the most beautiful woman in the Galaxy as his.

He wouldn't have reckoned on how literally anything else with that might have complicated his life because he's Anakin Skywalker, thinking is for other people. Padme, OTOH, would have much greater awareness of all those risks and wouldn't consider, either, the pressures of keeping a marriage secret and what it'd mean.

It all ultimately stems to incompatible expectations and Anakin never seeing the real Padme, as appreciating the actual woman and her rationales for the marriage might have given him second thoughts. I also think if he and Sabe had ever had the chance to meet beforehand that he might have fallen head over heels for the person trying to actually get the Tatooine slave system ended over the Queen, with that exact same impulsiveness and lack of control he did with Padme, and that exact same lack of thought. Anakin is both a rabid golden retriever and a Siberian tiger sized orange cat, great power but never had a thought and never will. Wouldn't matter who, if anyone, he fell in love with, much of the same dynamics would apply for much of the same reasons.

#star wars meta #anakin skywalker critical #padme amidala critical #anakin x padme #if I keep sounding snarky about Anakin and his impulse control #by every possible means he earns that snark

Alright 3rd and final Star Wars take of the day that is probably pretty lynchworthy:

Echo should have died/already been dead in the Bad Batch arc in s7. Sorry guys, I love Echo too, but the story would have worked better if he was already dead when they got there.

Like there's a lot of things that could have made this arc better in general that I'm not going to really get into here without touching on the character design or whitewashing and racism around the clones (which many much more qualified people have talked about way more eloquently than I ever could). Like the fact that this arc should have been a Cody&Rex arc rather than writing Cody out so early in or the weirdly dismissive way the writers treated the other characters in order to lift tbb up when they could have just. Not done that. Really very easily.

But specifically the Echo thing: as soon as Rex finds out the possibility that Echo might still be alive, he is immediately ready to jump in with both feet without looking, and Anakin cautions him that they might not find Echo alive and he needs to prepare himself for the possibility that they can't save him. This has huge overall narrative implications, because we, the viewers, know that in a few weeks time he is going to turn his back on the people who love and trust him and betray everything he's ever sworn to stand for bc he is worried about the possibility of not being able to save Padme.

Now Rex goes with tbb and Anakin on a rescue mission that might not be a rescue mission. Tbb are still being very dismissive of the "regs" and Rex, quite understandably, is not handling their attitudes very well.

They get there, it's a trap and so on and so forth, but here's the important part: they don't find Echo alive. The Techno Union found him after the Citadel arc and mined his brain for data through hand wavy star wars means and they had no need to preserve anything else or keep him alive after that.

The rescue mission is too late and they never had the chance to save Echo at all. And Rex breaks. He holds it together for long enough to complete the mission, they escape the Techno Union and protect the village, but once they get back on the ship and head back towards Anaxes, he just shatters. Full on sobbing on the floor devastated bc he was so sure he could save Echo. He was so hopeful that he could save this one person after everything. After Fives and Tup and Ahsoka walking away and Kadavo and Umbara he just wanted to be able to save one person that he cared about. And they were already way too late.

We can see Anakin faced with all of this and the shadow of his future actions that he will do so that he will not have to deal with his own potential grief. We can see the paralells between Rex doing everything in his power to have the possibility of saving his brother and Anakin taking extreme steps to have the possibility of saving his wife.

The shadow of RotS hangs over the entire arc and this then makes the scene with Admiral Trench hit so much harder. Because it's not just the warning of how far Anakin has already fallen, its the spectre of the future hanging over his shoulder in more ways than one, the way that throughout the arc you can see his resolve to never lose Padme hardening so he never has to face that grief.

On the other end of things, tbb are faced with Rex's very real and present grief for Echo and have to acknowledge the love and care that the other clones have for each other. They get to grow as characters and learn to respect the grief of the "regs" bc there is a shared kinship there, they do share more than they don't, and they are all horribly aware of just how easily it could have been them. The arc can end with them learning to respect the other clones and finding a closer kinship with them rather than returning to the status quo just with Echo as a member and they sort of like Rex now. Not only would that have made them more relatable as characters but could have set up a much better conflict for the future in their show rather than the weird thing with Crosshair that we did get and them still not really connecting with any of the other clones in a show centred on the clones.

Like, let the characters fail. Let them lose. Let them have succeeded in their mission without having it be a victory. Let it be bittersweet. S7 is already bittersweet. We know what is coming. We know how close it is. The shadow of it looms over every single interaction in this season. So don't shy away from it. Lean into the shadow of Anakin's choices, lean in to the paralells that you're writing in, let the events have meaning and impact and consequences like so much of the rest of the show.

Oooo If you don’t mind, is So Much For Stardust the elucien week work? What’s it about?

YES! So Much For Stardust IS for elucien week. It's set a decade in the future, past a hypothetical war with Koschei in which there is safety. Basically, Elain and Lucien are avoiding their problems and the mating bond.

And Eris and Helion, both High Lords, have teamed up for one purpose: meddling

#its is ONLY a romance #no war plot #just elain and lucien snarking and snapping and making out #while Helion and Eris squabble in the background about LOA and Arina
