thinking about how orpheus turning to look back at eurydice isn’t a sign of mortal frailness but a sign of love
I wonder how the Six Eyes and the Star Plasma Vessel appeared on the day of the merging, if they were already killed by Kenjaku?🤔Could it be that immediately after their death, their abilities manifested themselves in other people?
seriously thinking about an au where padmé haunts vader. like literally, her ghost is tethered to him and she follows him around but he ignores her because he assumes she's just a manifestation of his guilt for believing that he killed her (she tries to tell him he didn't, he doesn't listen. to him she's not real and she's just telling him what he wants to hear, that it wasn't completely his fault).
padmé having to watch him torture his own daughter on the death star. and no matter how much she screams at him to stop her words don't even reach him because he's blocking her out entirely. because in his mind her ghost is nothing more than a hallucination.
(maybe even have shmi follow him too. but again, he only thinks he's imagining it because to this day he still feels guilty that he couldn't save her).
and after he kills obi-wan, maybe he appears too. so now vader has the ghost of his mother, his wife and his brother constantly following him around, he tunes out most of what they try and say to him, that is until he finds out about luke.......
bonus. BONUS. if luke and leia can see the ghosts. leia briefly seeing the faint outline of padmé's form before the droid injects her. luke seeing both obi-wan and padmé at vader's sides looking at him sorrowfully when he jumps in cloud city after the duel.
or at the start padmé could just outright tell him “you have twins” and the entire franchise after that is obi-wan's ghost sitting there, head in his hands while vader is STILL having a breakdown after the news.
this will wait for tomorrow
river of light (that brings me to you) ⤓⤓ read the full comic here ( 2 pages are missing, making the flow a little.. choppy… im also a little more active on twitter if you want to follow :) ) based off of this fic ! its truly devastating, but i strongly recommend it.
The holy trinity of WSJ mentor figures.
A lot of people ask me what my biggest fear is, or what scares me most. And I know they expect an answer like heights, or closed spaces, or people dressed like animals, but how do I tell them that when I was 17 I took a class called Relationships For Life and I learned that most people fall out of love for the same reasons they fell in it. That their lover’s once endearing stubbornness has now become refusal to compromise and their one track mind is now immaturity and their bad habits that you once adored is now money down the drain. Their spontaneity becomes reckless and irresponsible and their feet up on your dash is no longer sexy, just another distraction in your busy life. Nothing saddens and scares me like the thought that I can become ugly to someone who once thought all the stars were in my eyes.
in canon kevin calls neil a child like, very casually and kind of condescendingly but let’s revamp it. it’s just his nickname for neil now.
and bc the foxes are who they are neil becomes Kevin’s Day’s child.
neil: [scores twice in 10 mins]
nicky, hollering at the top of his lungs: there goes kevin’s pride and joy!
when neil starts shit w/ the press he’s the problem child. kevin checks in literally every day when he graduates and neil’s like “??? you’re not my actual dad????? you do know that right? it’s important to me that you know that”
their relationship is more exasperated big brother vs little brother with zero self preservation but Neil is absolutely “kid” “kiddo” “child” to kevin and that’s just facts.
