i always draw kravitz w red eyes and clothing accent bc i don’t know, i read twilight as a youth i guess, that seems like it’s had a lasting impact on my psyche, but anyways since the astral plane is associated with sapphires in taz… i guess it would make more sense to make him blue-themed.,,….. huh……………
Kravitz is a Dramatic Bitch and therefore I propose: he wears red contacts for work. Red and black just spooky, babey.
But also he felt it was too awkward to explain that he was doing it for The Aesthetic so he just. Keeps wearing them all the time. The first time Taako catches him putting them in he gives him no end of shit for it.
His regular eye color is this really beautiful brown color, but they turn sapphire blue when he channels the Raven Queen’s power.
Going by the comics Vader seems to hallucinate/have visions a lot and I’m obsessed with him having reality issues. You know how on Malachor, he almost killed Ahsoka, but Erza reached through a portal and got her out, what the hell did that look like to Vader? A few years later he sees Obi-Wan again and cuts him down only for him to vanish into thin air, something he’s never known a jedi could do? And then Obi-Wan may or may not have haunted him as a ghost after that? After years of Vader hallucinating his dead loved ones. Does this murder cyborg encased in an ironmaiden of pain have the slightest grasp on what is real and what isn’t in his life? Does he even know Luke is real?
Can’t quite tell you why I find it so compelling but I tend to imagine if Padme survived she might have still adopted out the twins due to her cocktail of post-partum, sense of duty to the rebellion, fear for their safety, and heartbreak. They maybe learn the rebellion leader/family friend is their mother after the Vader reveal.
One thing I wish Star Wars media would do more is focus less on the Force as a “magic superpower plot device” and more on the Force as “metaphysical power that connects all life.”
Like, it could go a long way towards explaining the radical differences between Jedi and Sith. Like, the more you access the Force, the more you become aware of that deep spiritual connection to all things. Everything is one. Separation is an illusion.
For Jedi, that provides some sort of enlightenment, and bolsters their ideas of pacifism, as using the Force forces them to develop empathy. All things are one, or at least connected, so hurting others doesn’t make sense as you’re ultimately hurting yourself as well. But for Sith, who are, by their very definition, selfish, it creates a self-defeating spiral of pain and excuses. As they hurt more people with the Force they hurt themselves as well, but they excuse it away and the cycle just keeps repeating.
I dunno. I just think you could do more with a all-powerful all-connecting energy than “superpower magic”.
I’m sure the jedi are better equipped with cultural sensitivity than… most of fandom but still I imagine they’d find our institutionalized schools where teachers have hundreds of students who mostly learn by sitting at desks all day getting lectured just as strange as we do their lack of single primary caregiver who is idealy a biological parent
- That Ghibli quote: “Rather, I want to portray a slightly different relationship, one where the two mutually inspire each other to live; if I’m able to, then perhaps I’ll be closer to portraying a true expression of love.”
Young Jedi are probably briefed on force scepticism before they go out into the world but it wouldn’t surprise me if clone education didn’t bother to cover that. They learn about force abilities as a fact of life, get deployed and witness it from the jedi command, and then at some point maybe step into a bar somewhere and meet some civilian who swears up and down that the force is a myth and jedi are frauds. Like meeting a flat-earther when you never knew there was such a thing
bruce and cass have their cheat lists of people they would forgive themselves for killing, like it won’t happen but IF, bruce put joker on his and cass put jason. both jason and bruce sleep restless now
Tim stans writing paragraphs about how DC vs Vamps “sidelined Tim”, or how it’s OOC that Dick cared more about Jason, or how Dick killed him because he “would outsmart Dick” are the reason why Dick curb stomped him without a thought. You people really cannot shut up about Tim being “the smartest” and always the victim for two minutes.
I love the trope of wizards pushing up their voluminous starry wizard sleeves up their skinny arms to cast a spell, but also consider: Wizard pushing their voluminous starry wizard sleeves up to cast a spell and they’re just fuckin’ jacked.
