Thanks For The Tag @ele-millennial-weirdo 💙

The bot situation is so bad right now that I have to stop myself from automatically blocking new followers. I completely mislaid the previous post about this I made so here's a new one:

New Tumblr Users PSA!

Please put something in your bio, change your pfp, reblog a few posts, show some sign of human life. This lets us old and jaded tumblrites know that you are, in fact, a person, and not a spam or porn bot trying to get engagement in order to appear more legit.

If you are attached to your default icon, here's a picrew that will help you add signs of humanity to it without completely abandoning your cute little geometric buddy:

Default Blog Icon Maker ~ meiker.io

Make your own default very normal not at all suspicious icon! With lots of options to choose from, being mistaken for a bot can be a thing o

It really doesn't take much to let people know you're a real human being, and it will save you from the disappointment of being blocked by the folks you wanted to follow before you even know what you're doing here.

Welcome to tumblr. It's a blue hellsite. You'll love it. Just please fly your human flag so we know to welcome you and not to zap you!

Everytime I need to fake cry I think about Fives screaming for Echo at the Citadel.

Okaaaaaay! Wild theory time that many will say is totally incorrect!

This theory is partially inspired by this post by @twinterrors29

https://at.tumblr.com/twinterrors29/boba-fetts-reputation-as-the-best-bounty-hunter/cbubdg5i3k36

But it is also just a wild mind tangent that I came up with. Now on with the theory!

...

Boba Fett is a feared bounty hunter, he's been in the game since he was 10 years old, since his father the great Jango Fett died.. He's good at what he does. He's respected and revered. But here's the thing...

Anyone could be Boba Fett.

Throughout canon many have been Boba Fett. In old canon the name Boba Fett was just alias used by Jaster Mereel. It wasn't until "Attack of the Clones" was released that anyone had even heard of Jango. And during "The Clone Wars" TV show, during the arc at the end of season 2, we see that no one can differentiate between Boba and the other clones.

So where am I going with this?

This:

Is not Boba Fett.

Or...well...he might be.

Don't believe me? Neither do I. Here's some shaky proof:

Boba Fett was born in roughly 32 BBY and the show "The Mandalorian" takes place in roughly 9 ABY, which makes Boba Fett approximately 41 years old. During the events of "Attack of the Clones" Jango Fett is 44 years old having been born in 66 BBY (the beginning of the Clone Wars was in 22 BBY lasting till 19 BBY). During which time he looked like this:

(It's hard to find a good photo of him.)

Now YES, the actor has aged, Boba fell into a Sarlacc and is dealing with scaring, and he has spend the last 5 years on Tatooine (we all know how this goes for people...)

But this ⬆️ is the work of 20 years.

Case in point, I have a hard time believing that Boba and Jango are roughly the same age, I mean look:

One obviously hasn't aged as delicately as the other.

There's not really much that can explain this, we fans just look over it because we love Temuera Morrison so much (I love him too).

But who do we know who have accelerated aging that would explain this difference? The other clones, of course.

The clones (with the exception of Boba) were genetically modified so that they would age at twice the normal human rate, at 10 they were physically and mentally 20, and battle ready.

But they aged at twice the normal human rate, why would a 40 year old look 60 instead of 80?

Well there's a simple answer. Deceleration.

In the Republic Commando books, Skirata finds a way to slow the clones aging down to a normal human rate. Unfortunately nothing in canon has shown that this is possible, but as many have pointed out, Rex was looking really spry in "Rebels."

So it is possible that some 10 years after the war, a cure was found.

During the year 19 BBY the clones were roughly 26-28 years old, ten years later in 9 BBY when the "Kenobi" series take place, clones without decelerate aging would appear nearly 50 years old, and lucky for us we see a 501st trooper in a cameo:

Now, he's obviously older and grizzly, but he still more closely resembles the younger Boba Fett than Jango who is closer to his age physically.

...

I'm not saying that anything I've said here is definitive proof that the Boba Fett from "The Book of Boba Fett" and "The Mandalorian" is a Padmé decoy, far from it. But I am saying that there's enough here that there's a chance that it's true. Especially with the drastic personality change that we see from Boba in the original series, stern and serious, dangerous. A personality that even carries over into "The Clone Wars" and the Boba Fett young readers books, though technically Legends now. This new Boba is not the stoic and legendary bounty hunter we know, and that may be the point, but it won't stop me from theorizing.

After all this may be the real Boba Fett:

Or maybe this one:

Or this one!

Or maybe the real Boba is dead.

We may never know...

Which is the real Boba? Are they all the same Boba? How many Bobas are there?

What if the Boba Fett we've come to know and love, isn't even the real Boba Fett?

Thank you @ele-millennial-weirdo! I haven't been writing at all lately unless it's for my DnD campaign, I made a tiny blurb this morning so here's the last line of that.

Thanks for tagging me @myevilmouse 😍💙

Since my mind isn't able to focus on writing more than a bunch of words at the moment (sadly, no inspiration for that), all I can do is to show the last messy doodle I did last week...hopefully one of these days I'll be also able to finish something I'm really proud of (may the Force be with me, lol)

Here you are, another still unfinished Thryce sketch (your fics never cease to inspire me, thank you!!! 💙)

In this moment I live for an Obi-Wan and Maul friendship.

Imagine them as Padawans, both quick to anger and learning how to control their more violent urges.

Imagine Maul as Mace Windu's Padawan and Obi-Wan was Qui-Gon Jinn's.

Imagine Obi-Wan being 3 years Maul's senior.

Imagine Maul's slight distrust of of Obi-Wan due to Qui-Gon's rocky relationship with the Jedi Code and Mace's steadfast belief in the rules.

Imagine the first time they sparred together.

Imagine them both tossing their lightsabers and resorting to fists.

Imagine them training and meditating with one another to control their anger.

Imagine them becoming friends.

Imagine them years later in the Clone Wars.

Imagine Maul being respectful towards everyone, including his enemies.

But still calling Obi-Wan "rat-boy."

Imagine them both as Jedi Masters.

Imagine Maul teasing Obi-Wan about Satine.

Imagine Obi-Wan trying to set Maul up with Ventress.

Imagine them sparring as adults.

Imagine them throwing away their lightsabers and resorting to fists.

Imagine Obi-Wan pulling on Maul's horns.

Imagine Maul wishing Obi-Wan still had long hair to pull back.

Joining a new fandom:

"Oh no, what have I done?"

"Why is a raven like a writings desk?"

Story idea:

The daughter of Thrawn and a human is in a Victorian-esque love triangle with Thrufian's two sons.

i’m laughing at how excited i am for a two second shot of the back of someone’s head
