Why do I keep hurting myself!!? I barely even gave myself enough time to recover after watch the last of Transformers Prime, and then I decide to go ahead and watch the last few episodes of The Clone Wars that I've been holding back on and...this scene.

Just this scene. 😥

I keep hurting myself.

the fact that i saw live action thrawn with my own two eyes today and he actually looked good is insane to me

And then Thrawn teaches him traditional Chiss courting dances.

He’s trying to teach him how to dance

Reverse Robins AU!

Damian | Timothy | Jason | Dick

• Early Life:

Dick, Richard, was raised in a circus. The son of Mary and John Grayson, the trio was known as the Flying Graysons in their heyday, but like all good things the circus days had to come to an end. When Dick was nine the Graysons' act was sabotaged by the villain Tony Zucco, who cut Mary and John's lines while they were preforming their famous trapeze act. Dick watched as his parents fell to their deaths.

Lucky for him Bruce and his eldest son, Damian, were both in the stands to witness to atrocity. And to help him through the aftermath.

• First Outing:

Many will assume that Dick is the golden child, but that title was given later in life. When he was first adopted by Bruce Wayne, Dick was a feral child. Hell bent on killing the man who took his parents. Bruce couldn't stop him as he snuck out of the house with one of his brothers' knives, but he did manage to convince him to bring Zucco to justice properly instead of executing him.

Dick would have a second "first outing" after taking up a superhero mantle, with Damian under the Batman cowl. While their time together as partners would be short, Dick would prefer working with his eldest brother more than with Bruce.

• The Name:

While Batman and Shadow both tried to convince young Dick to take on the name of Aves and carry on the legacy, Dick retired that mantle permanently. Instead taking up the name that would define him for his entire life, based on the nickname his mother gave to him: Robin.

• Home Life:

Dick has the best home life, by far. He is quickly named the baby of the family.

Bruce, Damian, and Tim are all overly protective of the little Boy Wonder. Who lives up to his name, always asking questions and always filled with life. He is immediately accepted as their littlest brother, and they all swear never to have a repeat of Jason.

• Independence:

Dick remains Batman's sidekick for far longer than any of the others, staying by his side for ten years, until he's nineteen. He fights along side both the Teen Titans and Young Justice, as well as a multitude of other superhero teams during that time.

When he outgrows the Robin mantle it is retired. And he once again honors the memory of his parents with his new moniker Nightwing.

How do you think Thrawn would be as a dad?

Hmmmmmmm... Good question.

He would be protective, it's a given. But I think he would have difficulty to show affection or to create a bound between him and his children. He loves them, obviously, he love them so much but he wouldn't know how to show it? Especially if they are younger kids.

Or rather he would show it in ways that are obvious to him, but not others. Like I wrote in this fic, he's definitively on the spectrum and what would be seen by a simple drawing session by his children is a deep mine of information for him. It is his way of showing that he deeply cares, that he loves, but it's not obvious for them.

They don't feel neglected, he's alway's around to help with everything and anything, they don't feel unloved, they just feel misenderstood? They craves kisses and hugs but it doesn't come naturally to him who is more reserved. He won't reject them if they come asking, he's happy to oblige, but it rarely comes from him either.

As they grow older they understand that they are so much way to love someone, and because their father didn't love as they wanted or expected doesn't mean he didn't love at all. He loved them by nurturing their artsy side, he loved them by teaching them everyday, he loved them by caring everyday.

He simply loved them.

Somewhere slightly offscreen thrawn is lacing his hands together in annoyance at Gideon's plan, with his internal monologue going like

So he made his base on Mandalore for no real tactical advantage besides apparently aggravating the Mandalorians further- while Beskar is a useful resource it is not worth risky planetary travel, difficulty in communication, hostile megafauna, and barren land- and then he used the Beskar to armor his personal guard of stormtroopers and himself- not the Praetorian Guards we've so generously gifted- in full suits of armor designed closely enough to Mandalorian tradition to further offend- the rest apparently being inspired by Lord Vader, may his soul rest, and then. He asked for the darksaber. The symbolic weapon of leadership, further tactically useless other than even more offense.. giving the Mandalorians, historically scattered and infighting, a common enemy to rally against...

...because of a personal vendetta against their people...

I absolutely love the first one. He looks gentle, sad, knowing, satisfied, and in control all at the same time. Maybe a little bit of mirth there as well.

*gasp* There’s more of my favorite blueberry, not just half a face on a book cover :O

I have so many things to say about Thrawn and Gideon and culture and art and appreciation and imperialism and appropriation and so much else but I’ll leave it at this tonight because my tumble is fucky and I don’t know how to phrase it at four am.

They are setting up Gideon to be inherently weaker then Thrawn because Thrawn engages with the cultures he uses to destroy his enemies and Gideon simply takes what looks useful to him. This is really interesting and I can’t wait to see how it plays out (Gideon gets fucking schooled)
