Stalling Tactics

[Anakin, getting ready to go help Palpatine] Obi-Wan: [winded, busting through the door] Anakin! Anakin: [sniffling, quickly wiping his eyes] Obi-Wan! What – what are you doing here? Obi-Wan: [clearly winging it] I…came back early from Utapau because I realized that I forgot…my keys.  Anakin: [confused] What? How would you have left without them? Obi-Wan: Oh. Uh…I mean I…came back because I forgot…something else, then. [looks around the room] [picks up a pen someone left in there] Uh, this! Anakin: O…K. [standing up straighter] Well whatever Obi-Wan, I have to go take care of something, so, maybe I’ll talk to you later. Obi-Wan: [hastily, jumping in front of him as he tries to walk past] No! I, uh, I just remembered that it’s Master Yoda’s birthday next week, and we haven’t gotten him a thing! [reaching for his hand] C’mon then, I’ll take us shopping, and you can pick out anything – Anakin: [pulling his hand away] Obi-Wan, I’m not going shopping with you right now, I have somewhere I need to be and you wouldn’t underst– Obi-Wan: [blocking the doorway] You can’t go into this part of the building right now.  Anakin: [furrowing his brow] And why is that? Obi-Wan: They’re…fumigating. This wing. Space mites. And…mold.  Anakin: [shoving him aside] Look, I don’t know what’s gotten into you, but I have a situation I need to go deal with right now and I can’t really talk about it, so, uh, see you around. [heads down the hallway] Obi-Wan: [running after him] [keels over, feigning injury] Oh! Anakin: [warily sighs] What is it now? Obi-Wan: My…foot. Is…injured. Gravely. I might need you to carry me to the –  [Anakin’s comm goes off] Anakin: Hang on, it could be the Chancell– [Obi-Wan grabs it out of his hand and throws it into a nearby garbage chute]  Anakin: Hey! That was my comm! Why did you do that?! Obi-Wan: I…wanted to see if it could withstand the trash incinerator. [peers into the chute he just threw it into] Guess not. Live and learn, I suppose! [stretches his arms over his head and yawns] Well, I’m knackered! What’s say you and I go get comfortable and watch several hours of the holonet back at our place? Anakin: [shaking his head] For kriff’s sake. Look, I don’t know what your problem is right now, but I’ve got a lot on my plate and I don’t have time to deal with whatever’s wrong with you on top of everything.  Obi-Wan: [briefly making eye contact with Mace, who is hauling Sheev away in handcuffs further down the hallway and giving Obi-Wan a thumbs-up] Mmhmm.  Anakin: And I really don’t appreciate you making my day harder than it already is.  Obi-Wan: [nodding] I understand.  Anakin: And look: whatever happens after this, just know that I had my reasons. It was the only way.   Obi-Wan: Yes, of course.  Sheev: [yelling over his shoulder] You haven’t seen the last of me, Jedi! Anakin: Huh? [about to turn around]  Obi-Wan: [grabs Anakin and dip-kisses him]

stephanie remembers a lot of things, a lot of pain, a lot of hurt.

she still can't stay in hospitals, can't look inside closets too long without flinching away. but it's this - it's this that's the worst.

her hands are bound tight, chains wrapped around her body, and while she's fighting to control her breathing, she's starting to drown in memories.

memories of black mask, of torture, of dying - she needs to get out of here. she needs to get out. she can't survive this, not now. not now. she's too tired. not now.

but she doesn't have a choice.

it's cope or die - and she's already died once before.

Obi-Wan: plays dirty wins dirty

Obi-Wan: flirts with the enemy

Obi-Wan: has slept with half of the galaxy

Obi-Wan: always outsmarts the opponent

Obi-Wan: jumps out of windows for fun

Obi Wan: uses his charms to always get what he wants (especially the council)

Also Obi-Wan: follow my ~example~ Anakin and be 🌸mindfull🌸 💗👨🏻‍🦰💗

Anakin: *screams*

(Also 19-year-old-Obi: you should listen what 💗Master Windu💗 says, my master🥰

Qui-Gon: oh you little shit)

😄 Indeed, anon. Indeed.

I always love the fact that Obi-Wan is out there seducing everyone and winking saucily and whatnot and there’s Anakin, his young charge who idolizes him, taking this all in. You know that when Anakin was like 18 he tried to very awkwardly and artlessly kiss the hand of some planet’s king or president or whatever during negotiations and Obi-Wan was like ANAKIN NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING and Anakin was like “What??? YOU DO THAT ALL THE TIME, I thought that’s what we were supposed to do at these things!” and then Obi-Wan had to fake-laugh and be like “would you excuse us for just one minute, I need to speak with my Padawan about something”

Also there is no way I believe Obi-Wan was ever NOT a gigantic flirt, so you know he was pulling that crap way back when. Like Qui-Gon would leave the room to get a glass of water and by the time he’d come back the Queen of Planet Whatever was blushing and giggling and his 20-year-old student is looking almost too innocent and then what do you know, suddenly the negotiations are over and the Republic got everything they wanted! Weird.

Epilogue

[Shot of Anakin, traipsing down the Temple hallways, wearing a flower crown and humming to himself]  Obi-Wan: [being interviewed mockumentary-style] Yes, fortunately, I was able to convince Anakin to talk with me about his feelings and fears, and we were able to uncover the secret of the mysterious Sith Lord just in time, and destroy him. [Anakin, in the background, spinning with his arms in the air] …and now Anakin sort of can’t stop sharing his feelings. [awkward smile] Mace: [being interviewed] We really dodged a blaster bolt there. If the Chancellor had been able to turn Anakin to the Dark Side, and dismantle the Republic? Chaos. [shakes head] We owe Skywalker an enormous debt of gratitude. [sighs] So we’re…just going to have to deal with…this.  Padme: [forcing a smile] Oh it’s been wonderful, being able to be more open about Anakin with everyone. And Ani, he’s…he’s just so…showy! The other day he sent a string quartet to my office. [obvious stifling mild irritation] While I was on a very important holo-call.  Anakin: [approaching Mace] Good morning, Master Windu. [placing his hands on his shoulders] I just wanted you to know that you are wise, and powerful, and I admire you immensely. [embraces him]  Mace: [grimacing] Skywalker, I’m very proud of you, but if you hug me again today, I am going to have to kill you.  Anakin: [smiling serenely] Of course. May the Force be with you. [sticks a daisy behind Mace’s ear] [scoops Yoda up off the floor and carries him off on his back]  Shaak Ti: [to the camera] Skywalker is…well he’s very…kind. He painted this for me. [holds up an amazing oil painting of Shaak Ti fighting battle droids] This is the 15th one of these he’s made for me. It’s…a lot. We’re all extremely happy for him, and grateful of course. But we’re glad we can still foist him off on Master Kenobi a lot of the time.  Obi-Wan: [to the camera] Yes, Anakin is truly full of light and happiness now that there is balance in the Force. And he wants to tell us all about it. All the time. And after the war ended, he and I, you know, we finally sat down and had a very open discussion about our relationship. Then we didn’t leave our quarters for about three and a half weeks. [clears his throat]  Anakin: [sitting next to him, petting his hair] You are a luminous presence in the Force, you’re the most beautiful man I’ve ever seen, and every time I look at your face I feel like I might die.  Obi-Wan: [still looking at the camera, quietly] …thank you, Anakin.   Ahsoka: [to the camera] Well, once things got back to normal on Coruscant I stopped by the Temple to see how everyone was doing. You know, I may not be a Jedi anymore but obviously I still care about them. I asked if there was anything I could do. [flatly] They made it very clear they’d appreciate some help with Master Skywalker.  Anakin: [charging at her and lifting her into the air] Snips! [sets her down] You are bold, and brave, and I’m so proud of you that I can’t…I can’t… Ahsoka: OK, that’s not – Anakin: [bawling] I just love you all so much. I feel like my soul is going explode.  Ahsoka: [hugging him and patting his back] OK…you’re…it’s OK. [looks at the camera helplessly] 

I know it’s pretty funny to joke that Steph forcibly inserted herself into the Batfamily and never left while the others are like ‘Steph you don’t even live here’ but in my opinion its absolutely the other way around.

From her history with Bruce and stuff there’s a part of Steph that holds all her insecurities and is just thinking, ‘I could be locked out of the bat cave at any minute’ no matter how illogical that is. So Steph is of the general mindset of ‘these are my trusted crime fighting allies who I care about very much but I’m not part of their family because I have a mom and it doesn’t matter anyway because all I really want is to help people and make sure less people become victims of crime’. She cares about them all more than anything but she wont let herself feel like she means too much to them.

Meanwhile the Batfamily are just like ‘that’s Steph our little ray of sunshine we love her and she’s 100 percent ours and we’re just waiting for Tim or Cass to marry her in so she’s legally a member of this family as well’.

Steph convincing herself she’s not a member of the bat family due to insecurities and the Bat family being like ‘exCUSE YOU! You are absolutely a member of this family!’

Why not?

this is the money dog, repost in the next 24 hours and money will come your way!!

Hey folks, I live in Seattle and up till a couple years ago I lived on Capitol Hill. I still have friends living there.  So I thought I’d provide some local insight into the CHAZ (Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone).

There is a lot of misinformation out there, especially from Fox News, which photoshopped a gunman into pics, wow.

First, the best resources to find CHAZ info are local to Seattle: The Seattle Times, Capitol Hill Blog, and the CHAZ livestream where you can see the streets for yourself.

Capitol Hill is a very densely populated neighborhood full of apartment buildings and bustling restaurants and bars. If you work there, you live there (because it is hard to navigate by car, like NYC), and if you live there, you are probably super liberal. It’s also the center of counter-culture and LGBTQ culture in Seattle.

Are the protesters terrorizing the locals?

No, the protesters ARE the locals. They live in the many, many apartment buildings on Capitol Hill.  Having lived there for years, believe me when I say “fuck the police” is a prevalent opinion there even when there isn’t a nationwide protest.

Is there looting?  How are businesses protecting themselves?

The local businesses are not being looted; they are open and are doing a booming business.  Also, a lot of workers / business owners ARE protesters.

I saw a picture of Seattle on fire!

Actually you saw a picture of a protest in Minnesota that Fox News pretended was Seattle because they are frauds and shills.

How big is the Autonomous Zone?

Six square blocks.

How did this situation come about?

There was a peaceful march.  The mayor abruptly set a 5 pm curfew.  The protesters ignored it and marched anyway.  Then the police set up barricades to stop the march.  The cops started using tear-gas and flash-bangs and the situation devolved from there. (You can find videos of this on Capitol Hill Blog.)  What prompted the tear-gas was … one of the protesters thrust a pink umbrella over the barrier.  Yes, really.

The situation deteriorated for several days/nights running until the police abandoned the East Precinct on Capitol Hill. The violence was very one-sided: the police attacking the protesters.

Then the police left.  From what I heard the mayor ordered them out due to rumors or fears that the police station would be burned down? Which didn’t happen.  Anyway, they abruptly left.  As in, hired a literal moving truck and emptied out their headquarters, in almost a comedic beat.

Do you have to show your ID to enter the Autonomous Zone?

No.  People come and go freely.  City services are also allowed to come and go (and I presume delivery trucks but I haven’t looked into that.)

What’s with the physical barriers if people can come and go freely?

They’re to keep vehicles out. 

Backstory:  While the protests were ongoing, a guy (whose brother was an East Precinct cop) tried to ram his car into a crowd of protesters.  A brave man eating a hot dog threw himself at the side of the car, grabbed the steering wheel through the open window, and stopped him. Whereupon cop-brother-car-man shot him with a gun.

Personally I think cop-brother-car-man was planning a mass shooting because he had extra ammo taped to his hoodie sleeve. You can see the blue tape on his arm in the pic above. (The protester who was shot thankfully survived.  Check out those brave medics tending him while an ACTIVE SHOOTER is standing feet away!)

But anyway, that’s why there are barriers. I believe they move them aside for approved vehicles, like emergency vehicles or deliveries.

Are there people with guns roaming around?

Not on a regular basis, although I’ve heard a local gun club had some members there one night when it was rumored the Proud Boys (a Nazi group) might show up.  (They didn’t.)  But in general, no.

Is it scary??

No.  The neighborhood is fully on board and overall there is a festive atmosphere.  There are speeches about BLM, about discrimination, about what people want for the neighborhood.  There are first aid stations, medics and counselors, and people offering free pizza.  If you watch the livestreams, you can see people walking their dogs, out with their kids, etc.

Where will this all end?

I don’t know.  The barriers can’t stay up forever and I think everyone knows that.  The “Autonomous Zone” name is tongue-in-cheek, the protesters aren’t actually trying to secede from the United States.  Basically, this is a boiling over of frustration.  The police have never been good-faith neighbors on Capitol Hill.  Also Seattle police have always been pretty racist and had a problem with excessive force.

Look at this whole situation.  All the police had to do was stand back and let the protesters march; they would have marched and gone home and that would be that.  All the police had to do was nothing.  Instead they turned a neighborhood into a warzone.

By the way, did you know that yesterday (6/12) in a different Seattle neighborhood 60,000 people marched to support BLM?  And because the city had learned its lesson about dumbass curfews, they let everyone march and nothing bad happened.

Weird how the national news didn’t report on that march, huh?  Almost like they cherrypick the protests that will appear “scary” to their audience.

Nah fam it wouldn’t’ve died, she mighta won but she ain’t gonna die.

That bitch has the gayest fucking energy fueling her and not even the fucking lord could take that away. The only way Bella “dumbass” Swan is going to die is of her own stupid volition.
