Just having fun and posting some of my stuff.

@odsttrooper

I am still hanging about on this weird social app. I am an odd guy in his thirties just posting and doing what I like. I also post my miniatures I paint for Warhammer, DnD, and other fun tabletop games.

A brief moment of rationality from the bird place.

It is somewhat fascinating that a relevant portion of reddit seems too be heavily invested in the fantasy of getting slammed against the wall by a woman twice their height.

And hey, who could blame them?

Ok I’m letting myself get re-tempted by 40k again and apparently the whole Primaris thing is that GW came out (I guess “coming out” since they’re still updating models) with new Soace Marines that have better proportions and scaling and are actually taller than normie humans bc Space Marines are supposed to be like 7-8 feet tall but were the same size as other humans buut they decided to have the lore tie in be “this 10,000 year project to perfect Adeptes Arbites has been finished and these new Space Marines are objectively better and bigger (so i guess it’s not even that the models are scaled correctly but Primaris are like 9 feet tall now or something?? Yeah make things even harder for Raven Guard tactics why don’t ya) and they are super special better in every way and every chapter that gets them is like “Wow this is so cool! You guys rock and we gotta switch over to you!” and it just reeked of “now that the Power Rangers have the new Zords they can defeat the bad guys that destroyed their old Zords last season make sure to pick these up during your next toy aisle trip!”

i remain obsessed with the actual scene where anakin becomes darth vader. no one tells anakin to kneel to palpatine, he does it himself, and he swears that he will do anything palpatine asks - he pledges himself to palpatine, and the first thing he does as a sith lord is the only thing he ever really does as a sith lord, which is get off his feet and do what he’s told. no one tells anakin to immediately start referring to palpatine as his master, as “my master” even, there’s no existing sith protocol or etiquette that anakin would know about; anakin does all of that of his own accord. it seems, on paper, like a massively sudden change in attitude when anakin’s been treating palpatine like his family, like his father, for over a decade, but i just think it’s indicative of exactly how much anakin believes he’s supposed to defer to authority, even if he considers that authority family, even if he loves that authority. especially, actually, if he loves that authority.

the only other person who hears “i will do anything you ask” from anakin is padme. and she doesn’t buy into that, she doesn’t let that anakin do that, but if she had - if she’d been willing to leverage anakin like that - he would’ve followed her the same way he follows palpatine. he actively tries to do that, on mustafar, where he essentially offers her the galaxy so he can follow her instead of palpatine. i think it’s indicative of the fact that, on some level, anakin always believed that this is what people expect from him, and all his raging against the council - who are, largely, a benevolent force - is because he’s refusing to do that, because for a lot of reasons, the council (and by extension, obi-wan) never meet anakin’s internal set of criteria for it. i just think it’s majorly fucked up how quickly anakin takes to being subservient to palpatine, and the fact that it’s probably because to anakin, there isn’t a huge difference between loving someone and being willing to sell your soul to someone, and by “not a huge difference” i may as well say he probably considers them damn near the same thing.

I think people kinda forget that Anakin started off the story as a slave.

No joke there, literaelly quaigon won him from his OWNER because he won the pod race, and he went from there into the Jedi in an instant.

Anakin has NEVER known a reality where he wasn’t acting in service of someone else.
