One of the biggest issues of moving to England as a person who is Ukrainian AND neurodivergent is not knowing how to answer the small talk question of "how are you", but today I was reminded that Ukrainian blessed me with the phrase that roughly translates as "living is hard but dying would be a pity" and can we please naturalise it so I can use it all day every day
This is fucking awesome LMAOOOO

Here’s an idea that makes me giggle. What about an AU where absolutely everyone in the Jedi Order faked their death at least twice. It is practically a right of passage to die in your Padawan/Master/Grandpadawan/Extended Lineage’s arms then stroll in six months later with a captured criminal and a smoothie.
It changes the grief. Everyone kind of treats the dead like they are on extended undercover assignments. Like they still hold funerals because no one ever knows but everyone is really casual about death because there’s a 40% chance that person you watched die would pop back up (60% if the death was witnessed only non force sensitives, 95% if all that was found was a corpse) at some point in the future. The Jedi even have some kind of scoreboard for who was currently ‘dead’ that only the Jedi and Jedi adjacent(like the clones) know how to read. Things like how many times someone ‘came back to life’ or longest time ‘dead’ (The current record for longest time is Jon Antilles, who was declared dead for three decades before popping back up. No one, not even him, is quite sure that he wasn’t actually dead for part of that time. His life is weird.)
Of course they make sure to inform the Clones. It would be cruel not to make sure that the Clones didn’t know that this was something that happened around Jedi. They are the only non-Jedi that spend such a significant amount of time around the Jedi.
Just picture the Rako Hardeen Arc. No one thinks to tell the Chancellor that the reason they are hesitant in having Obi Wan fake his death is because Dooku, as a former Jedi, knows not to trust a Jedi dying. They hold Obi Wan’s public funeral in front of the scoreboard. So the entire time Mace Windu is giving a eulogy, the entire Jedi Order is watching the time ‘dead’ on Obi Wan’s entry tick upward.
Palpatine is watching eagerly, waiting for Anakin to be torn up about Obi Wan’s assisination so he can encourage him to take revenge. Except it doesn’t happen. No one, including Anakin, appears to be grieving at all. This entire plan was supposed to get Anakin to kill his Master in a fit of revenge and. It. Just. Wasn’t working.
Anakin’s not even feeling abandoned or betrayed. How is Palpatine supposed to work with this?
Constantine is breaking up another summoning, and it is...not going well.
They summoned a being from the Infinite Realms.
Said being is trying to break it's containment.
Constantine was hit with what was supposed to be a life-ending spell, only to wake up to the barrier beginning to crack.
He feels weird, he's smaller than he should be (probably deaged fuck), and fuck it all he's scared.
But the noise that comes out of his mouth is not a scream.
It's a chirp.
High and warbling, and the Infinite Realms being, covered in purple fire and black armor, freezes upon hearing it.
"You dare to kidnap one of our young?! The High King will have your heads!" And with that noble declaration, the terrifying spirit retreats back into the Infinite Realms.
The cultists look terrified.
John is still terrified, but also confused.
Basically, with how often John's in contact with death and magic, and how often he damages his soul, with the hit of a lethal spell his own magic sought to protect him by merging his soul with his physical body.
Constantine becomes a halfa.
Due to how little of his soul was left, his ghost form looks six.
Fright Knight sees a genuine baby ghost, not even an hour old, sprawled on the ground and crying for help.
Now John has to figure out what he is, why he's jumping between adult and child forms, what his weird new magic is, and how to stop a war with the Infinite Realms.
