I Fully Understand That The Preponderance Of Evidence Is That George Lucas Put Absolutely Zero Thought

I fully understand that the preponderance of evidence is that George Lucas put absolutely zero thought into what Naboo’s culture was actually supposed to look like outside of what we see on screen, but as far as unintentionally effective worldbuilding goes, establishing that Naboo a. has a tradition of electing literal children as figurehead rulers of its planetary government, and b. apparently also has a tradition of assassinating these children with sufficient frequency that dressing up a bunch of other children as decoy targets has become standard operating procedure by the time of Padmé Amidala’s reign suggests that maybe the fact that this random backwater is a breeding ground for Sith Lords isn’t as unlikely as it initially appears.

Fiddleford was okay with not knowing definitively whether the world was ruled by science or by scripture, but when his head went through that portal he realized what he and Stanford were doing wasn’t natural for either

the thing about fiddleford is imagine this small town farm boy. born and raised in rural tennessee, all he knows is raising pigs and slaughtering pigs and serving up pigs at the dinner table where they say grace before each and every meal. his world is so small but he knows there's something bigger out there and maybe it's god but maybe it's something else so he goes to college far away from everything he's ever known. and maybe he's the first in his family to ever do it, maybe everybody is so proud of him or more likely theyre cursing his name for abandoning the family business and going off to live some heretic pagan lifestyle. but it's okay because he's found that bigger thing and it's not god but it's this strange city boy who's so alike him in ways that he never thought possible. it's this city boy who listens to him when he spouts crackpot theories and thinks he's onto something and sits all night with him until they hack it and the feeling of being heard and seen and believed is so incredible that he didn't even realise this city boy has six fingers on each hand until theyre high fiving at some unholy hour of the morning and frankly that makes him all the more special. and maybe that's love but he pushes that down because he knows what happens to men who fall in love with other men. and then college is over and the city boy moves on to bigger and better things and suddenly he's alone again. so he moves to california and he gets married and he has a son and he KNOWS he loves them he KNOWS he does but it doesn't feel the same. so when he gets the phonecall and that feeling comes rushing back of course he says yes, of course he drops everything, of course he doesnt think twice because how else is he going to feel like that again ? and for a while everything is perfect again until it's not. until it's scary, until it's keeping him awake at night, until it's starting to feel a whole lot like a punishment from god. he had his chance to stay in tennessee, he had his chance to raise a family who he could provide for. but instead he went looking for something bigger than god, and he found it, and now he has to live with the consequences.

tfw when the tragedy is tragic :(

The first five panels of a digital comic of Luke Skywalker and Leia Organa from the Star Wars Franchise. In the first panel, Luke is holding a holo-pad saying "Leia, come look at this," with a small intrigued Leia in the background. The next panel shows Leia now standing behind Luke asking "What is it?". There is also a small image of what's on the holo-pad, a group photo of Ahsoka, Rex, Anakin, Padme, and Obi-wan. Luke explains, "Ahsoka sent it", and Leia utters "Oh, wow...". The third panel shows a close up of their faces, Leia continues "They're so young". In the next panel Luke clarifies as he sets down the pad, "It's from the clone wars. The end... I think,". In the last panel of the first page Luke begins to ask, "How close before... do you think...", and Leia cuts him off "Don't. Please,". Luke is colored in a light teal and Leia is colored in a pastel purple pink.
The second page of the comic. In the first panel Leia looks away, saying "I don't want to think about that right now,". In the next, Luke looks up to her, setting his hand on the one she rests on his shoulder. There is another small panel of them squeezing each other's hands. The fourth panel shows Luke getting up from where he was sitting, saying "C'mon, Han and Chewie just got back right?". The final panel shows them hugging as they walk away. Leia explains, "I know what you're doing, just know I'm letting you," and Luke replies "Okay, Leia,". The holo-pad lays left on the desk.
A digital illustration of the picture on the holo-pad in the previous comic. Padme and Rex stand in front with gentle smiles, Padme in her purple "liberty dies" dress and Rex donning his usual armor. Anakin and Obi-wan lean in behind them, as Ahsoka smiling in her siege of Mandalore outfit makes bunny ears behind Rex. It is in full color with a hologram texture. At the bottom is text in both English and Aurebesh that reads "May the Fourth be with you".

May the fourth be with you!!! 💫✨

the first law of tragedies: the end is already written and inevitable. the second law of tragedies: your actions are all your own and you can choose to get off this ride whenever you want. the third law of tragedies: we both know that you are never going to do that.

In hindsight it was probably best for the well being of literally everyone in piltover that jayce chose to die with viktor bc if a single person had walked up to him after and thanked him for helping take him down he might’ve started biting
