I Keep Seeing Legends!Thrawn And Canon!Thrawn, With Canon Being Dull And One Dimensional, And Legends

Anyway here’s a good boy and some smug asshole

Just a thought:

It's not Cody or Kote, it's Koté (kōt-æ).

...

No one ever said that the Mando'a to Basic pronunciations/spellings we have are exact, it's not a far fetch if when writing his name Koté, a Mando'a word, in Aurebesh liberties are taken on account of Aurebesh not having accent marks.

As to everyone calling him Cody, most Jedi and everyday citizens wouldn't know Mando'a, it would be like how English speakers used to (and still do to an extent) change names for easier pronunciation. Miguel = Michael, Yeshua = Joshua, Pièrre = Peter. It's not that far of a stretch.

*None of this has any connection to canon like at all.

Excerpt from The Last Command by Timothy Zahn (1993):

 “But…It was so artistically done.”

Thrawn’s last line starts with the word “but,” almost as if under normal circumstances he would be furious that his plans had unraveled so spectacularly and without him knowing it. Instead, he says “but,” and he says it calmly, with a smile on his face. He can’t be mad, because to him, his opponent beat him with the same level of attention he put into his plans. Because it was masterful and because even he could not have predicted the genius of turning the Noghri against him and then silently infiltrating Wayland.

The irony here is that our heroes actually didn’t put that much thought into his defeat specifically. I would argue that Thrawn’s true opponent was Leia, as it was her skill in politics, negotiation and empathy that both turned the Noghri against Thrawn and got Mara Jade to reveal the location of Wayland. In a way, it was Leia’s art that Thrawn didn’t account for.

This line alone also makes me ask – what does Thrawn really care about? Looking only at Zahn’s Thrawn Trilogy and no other material, it is clear that Thrawn likes to win. He also likes to prove his worth, becoming one of the few high ranking, non-human imperial officials. But more than that, Thrawn loves art and psychology. He craves knowledge, surrounding himself by other cultures’ art in order to learn, to improve and to win.

So, did Thrawn really care about the Empire at all? What was his true motivation? There is little evidence in the trilogy to suggest that Thrawn cares a lot about ruling the galaxy or in reviving the Empire. In fact, Pellaeon even states at one point that Thrawn has created a new empire, different than the one before, with his ingenuity and proportional punishments for failure. So why is he doing it? Truthfully, I don’t think this question really answered in the trilogy, leaving it up to the readers to decide. But from his last line as he dies, I’d hazard to say Thrawn doesn’t care about the empire or superiority or anything of the sort. He cares only about the art of war. To him, war is a chessboard, a game for him to play. Sure, he loves to win but he can appreciate when he loses. And that is why he can’t be mad at his defeat. Because it was so artistically done.

never not thinking about the time thrawn and thrass were at a board game cafe and thrass stopped a robbery by calling the guy “buddy” and thrawn decked his accomplices and then the cafe owner gave them free cheese

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.

Yeah, young Thurfian is really selfish. Patriarch Thurfian is more laid back and a giver, he would do it for his girl.

Now does he has any game ? 🤭

Wether Syndic or Patriarch do you think he found success with women ?

Oh definitely. If only for the fact that he's powerful, more than a few women have found their ways into his bedchambers.

But personally I believe that even if at first glance he seems unlikely to flirt, maybe even prudish, he is extremely charismatic.

I've recently started getting really into DC but most of my knowledge comes from movies and TV shows. So I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out where to start with the Batman comics?

I'm glad I could be of service.

Send this to ten other bloggers that you think are wonderful. Keep the game going, make someone smile!!! 💕

You're a doll. Have all of the Thurfian love 💙
