The best way to experience Star Wars is to pick a few things you like and then go into a fantasy world where you make up the rest.

the trick where you square the grain of a piece of fabric by pulling out A Single Thread all along its length is very cool and very satisfying and also is one of those craft tasks that is extremely normal but still makes me feel like a fairy tale character

I’ve been really into costuming lately so I thought it’s be fun to do Star Wars if it were a medieval fantasy

reminds me of when some old church in Sweden was cleaning out their storage and they forgot they had left like 80 medieval corpses in some ikea bags during renovations so somebody opened a closet door and it’s just

vader saying "he was an old man who thought he could help gifted children" in gillen's darth vader run vs obi-wan breaking down in the desert saying "i only wanted to help." vader knowing that obi-wan had wanted to help him, and killing him because he couldn't stand knowing he never let it happen. the short story where all yoda can sense from vader after obi-wan dies is unfathomable loneliness. obi-wan agonizing over the fact that all he wanted to do was help a lost and gifted kid he met by chance, and he doesn't know where the cracks showed up. in the ROTS novelization, obi-wan's first statement after watching the security tapes of anakin slaughtering jedi, and his first statement is wishing someone had shot him before he could see, and the next is wishing he never brought anakin to coruscant.

it's preteen anakin in rogue planet earnestly telling obi-wan he's the best jedi ever, and obi-wan stays silent. it's later in that same book where obi-wan looks at his sleeping charge and wonders if the affection he feels is how fathers feel about their sons. it's anakin saying obi-wan is the closest thing he has to a father, and then in the AOTC novelization obi-wan asks him, "then why don't you listen to me?" and the comic where obi-wan tells anakin he thinks anakin is part droid, and then tells him it wasn't a compliment. it's anakin feeling like obi-wan was holding him back because anakin just wants more and more. it's obi-wan in jedi quest letting his thirteen year old drive. it's anakin in the gambit duology watching obi-wan be emotionally loving to taria and getting wickedly, viciously angry because obi-wan's love is lying to him. it's obi-wan defining himself by how much he believes in anakin. it's obi-wan in labyrinth of evil joking that qui-gon should've left anakin in slavery. it's obi-wan offering to leave the jedi order just to be with anakin, if that's what anakin needed. it's anakin losing faith enough in obi-wan that by ROTS, palpatine is the father he chooses, when obi-wan still believed in him. it's the force showing vader that if he went back to obi-wan, obi-wan would still call him anakin. it's also me fucking crying in this bitch

imagine being a criminal in gotham doing your criminal thing and it’s 2:45am and you see a shadow towering over you and you’re like yeah cool it’s batman i have a few new toys i bought off ebay that i’m pretty sure the joker was auctioning for 12p including shipping. and then you turn around and batman’s there alright, stupid bat ears and all, let’s see if this ends with you on gotham general’s porch or comically tied around a lamp post with a sticky note on your forehead for the police. but. you notice batman is smiling. even worse it’s not the bad creepy smile you’ve heard about, the one like he was asked by the school photographer to show some teeth for picture day before he unleashes some mortal kombat left arrow right arrow, up, up, A, A, B, left arrow moves. it’s a genuinely warm smile. friendly. naturally charming even. and you’re pretty sure that’s not how it works. what is going on mr. bat. did a superman enemy decide to play tourist again with poor gotham city after the scheduled wednesday metropolis kidnapping went without a hitch and now you’ve got some brainiac type of shapeshifter in your midst? could that be it?

and then Possibly Brainiac Batman cracks a joke and it’s kinda funny. if you told bob about it he’d laugh and bob never laughs so that means it’s legit. bob’s a dick. and then Could Be Brainiac Batman does a little whirl in the air before landing in front of you with a flourish. it’s kind of very good actually, there was no leg shaking at landing or anything. that’s impressive that takes some real skill. and it starts clicking. the grace. the poise. the talent. the panache. the lull in the air giving a taste of the entailing vexation of what you know is about to be one of most annoying fights of your life because this kid has never shut up in his life no matter what

anyway i think the dick grayson batman era was terrifying for a lot of people

i can’t come up with a clever caption just take it

HELP WHY IS THIS SO ACCURATE

Weep for yourself, my man You’ll never be what is in your heart Weep, little lion man You’re not as brave as you were at the start

(it’s young obi-wan and even younger anakin angst hours)
