SNAIL!

I hope that this is the mindset that Thrawn continues to have in live action.

He may serve the Empire but he is still fiercely loyal to the Chiss people. I hope we see that.

Eli: Basic is a difficult language. It can be understood through tough thorough thought, though.

Thrawn: Please stop

Thrass: My brother is so annoying, he keeps on making problems for himself.

Thurfian: I agree, Mitth'raw'nuruodo is a issue and a stain on the pride of our house.

Thrass:

Thrass: 'the f*ck did you say about my brother?!

Omg...that is so beautiful. I think I'm going to cry again. And honestly I can't see it ending any other way. They'll never be the brothers that they once were, but the knowledge that they will be known as the saviors of Cybertron as they set out, and that it's Megatron who survives to tell their tale is beautiful. I think that he's the stronger when it comes to loosing someone he loves, especially if his last memory of him is as Orion and not the Autobot leader.

I just finished watching Transformers Prime (haven't watch the movie yet) and...when Bumblebee killed Megatron my heart just dropped, and I think that Optimus's did too. When it just panned over to him with his wide optics as he watched the light go out of Megatron's...I saw a glimpse of Orion there.

And with all honesty, I don't believe that he will be able to live without him. Megatron was his mission, in the beginning the war, before it was even a war, Megatronus was there, they fought together, they were brothers. Then the betrayal came and it became about saving his friend and his planet. Eventually Optimus started to just seek revenge, for his brother and for his home. But at the end, I think that Optimus still had hope that he could save him. He wanted to save Megatron. And that chance was taken away from him.

And for the past 4 million years! Optimus' every waking moment has been consumed by Megatron. How would he live once the mission was over? Who would he be? I don't think he's ready to find the answer to that, and I don't think he'll survive to find out. I don't think he can.

Just so y'all know, imma be insufferable.

yes thrawn is one of the most complex antagonists and baddest big bad in the star wars universe and his return poses the largest threat to the new republic since its formation

but also... thrawn 🥰

Thrawn’s expression hardened, and for that single awful moment Qilori thought he’d made the final mistake of his life.      “Let me explain something, Qilori of Uandualon,” the Chiss said softly. “My job—the sole reason for my existence—is to defend the Chiss Ascendancy and protect my people. I will do whatever is necessary to achieve that goal, and will allow nothing and no one to stand in my way. Do you understand?” — Thrawn: Ascendancy - Lesser Evil (2021) by Timothy Zahn

Ahsoka trailer: name drops Heir to the Empire

Me: HERE’S HOW WE COULD STILL GET MARA JADE

Thrawn would kiss Eli Vanto's hand.

When inviting him to dance, Thrawn would bow down deep and brush his lips against the back of Eli's hand, light and enticing, before pulling him into his arms.

While meeting as civilians, Thrawn would greet him in the way that gentlemen greet their ladies in some reaches of the galaxy, with a kiss to his hand and a utter of his given name.

While gazing out of the viewport on their warship, he would grasp his hand and raise it to his lips, while they stood side by side in silence.

Before a mission, while outfitted in black armor, a helmet underneath his arm, he would pull the human to where no prying eyes could see, and lift his gloved hand to his waiting lips as they stared into one another's eyes and whispered their promises.

In the heat of passion, Eli's hand coming to rest against his cheek, he would turn into it and press a kiss to his palm.

While they readied to leave the Admiral's cabin, he would press their bodies together cupping his face and connect their lips, hot and heavy distracting the man in front of him. Pressing him up against the wall, and biting down on his neck, listening to the strangled gasps that escaped him. He would pull away and lift his hand for a chaste kiss, a tease, before leaving the cabin and him a disgruntled mess.

Long after Eli Vanto has become Mitth'eli'vanto, he would raise his left hand to his lips and kiss the ring there on his fourth finger, a symbol not only of Eli's human culture but of Thrawn's love.

Thrawn would kiss Eli, his, hand.

I just feel so happy when I imagine dancing with Thrawn ❤
