Kestrel-cat - That Girl In The Deerstalker

In the vein of those Din and Luke meet on Tatooine before they live the Star Wars?

I propose that Din is the ~sweetheart from back home story Luke tells people if they ask about that kind of thing, you know?

Nineteen year-old Luke who gets tossed into the deep end whe he joins the Rebellion, right?

Farm boy from Tatooine in a starfighter squadron filled with people like Wedge and Janson.

And all the hurry up and wait that happens, and a card game that springs up between missions. Some late night somewhere - Hoth, maybe - and it was just a little too much to toss and turn all night in the bunks, maybe tale a stroll through base. Stop by the hangar because someone’s always there - weather lie this you can bet someone’s fixing something or adapting it to make it work in these conditons, and anyway, anyway.

Hell of a lot better than being stuck with your own thoughts you know backwards and front.

some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Most Mandalorians don't have the most comprehensive understanding of the force, but after Luke becomes Prince Consort, the Mand'alor's advisors quickly figure out its uses.

Advisor: Your Highness, the leaders of the trade and merchant guilds that border Hutt space will be coming to treat with you.

Paz: Fuck those guys, are we planning on fucking their slaving asses over?

Advisor: Yes sirs.

Din: Excellent, what's next?

Advisor: Sir, we would like to request The Bad Vibes Detector for the meeting, to weed out lies and omissions.

Din: No.

Bo-Katan: Do you want to fuck those little shits over or not?

Din: *deep sigh*

Din: *leaning into his comm* Sweetie, can you come here please? We need a wizard to scare some assholes.

I feel like Bruce Wayne projects the kind of amiable playboy 'fun' vibe that he'd be the type of celebrity that certain interviewers feel comfortable surprising with puppies.

You know the kind of shows I mean.

The late-night talk show situations where they're making benign small talk with their smiling guest, and there's a segment where animals get brought out, usually to talk about some sort of ecological relief effort.

So you're watching your trash TV talk show late at night, and you get to watch billionaire pretty boy Bruce Wayne be begrudgingly talked into holding a (relatively) harmless creature which inevitably gets a lot of delighted shrieks from the audience as it starts being a lot more active than the handler promised. And to his credit, Bruce doesn't flinch, he doesn't freak out. But his eyes are a little wide, and his voice a little tight as the smile on his face takes on a slight rictus quality before he's inevitably rescued by an apologetic handler who is also laughing because they all know there was no real danger, it was just funny to put Bruce, who is an undeniable good sport and already laughing along, out of his comfort zone for the sake of charity.

Meanwhile, up in the Justice League headquarters, several founding members of the League are wondering how fast they can get a fake Oscar award shipped to the space station because fuck off. Absolutely fuck off, Bruce. Where the fuck did he study? Juilliard? (Probably.)

(Clark ends up going to a novelty store during the commercial break. It's faster than trying to get anything shipped, even with the infrastructure Bats built for them. He finds it several days later taped to his console in a conspicuously empty briefing room. It's gaudy and awful, the words "Best Actor" engraved on the plaque. No one's around to see him smile. No one comments when it vanishes. Everyone thinks it's been yeeted out an airlock. Dick absolutely comments when it shows up in the manor, stashed in one of the trophy cases that sprung up for all the bat kids' school awards. Bruce has no idea how it got there. Must have been Alfred. (It was not.))

Anyway, consider, for your amusement, Bruce Wayne getting highjacked on The Gotham Toight Show with a handful of wriggling puppies and, for a split second, not having to pretend he's delighted to be there.

Timeline

Main Story

Extras: Trap | Shadows | Dream | Tea | Waves

Marinette has her friends over and is ranting that while Luka is great and listens to her and is always good about giving her space, what she really needs when she’s upset is touch and skin contact and hugs and squeezes

And Nino and Alya are nodding along because yeah, Mari has ADHD and she needs pressure stim, that makes sense

And she’s like “no you’re not getting it, in a perfect world when I’m upset I’d have someone to basically lie on top of me like cats do”

And Adrien, not realizing this is a hypothetical, hears the word “cat” and activates and immediately just sort of climbs onto her and drapes himself across her body without thinking

Marinette immediately goes catatonic with bewildered glee

If you have achieved something, please remember to observe a mandatory period of basking in the warm glow of your achievement like a lizard on a stone, lest you teach your brain that effort is futile, actually, because it didn't get to enjoy its happy chemicals, so, naturally, nothing good ever comes of trying. (And no, avoiding punishment is not a reward!)

I recommend, like, 5% of basking time in relation to whatever time you invested into achieving the thing minimum. And if you can't make your own bask, friend-brought is fine (= tell your friends!).

They’re having a very serious conversation about Cody’s behaviour (being mean to uncle Ben)

I’m just thinking that a time-travel AU that requires the team to reorient as Mandalorians where, at the first incident of someone asking questions, Obi-Wan declares “I know their names as my children” about Anakin and Ahsoka, making both of them cry later on in private, would be very nice, actually.

This wasn’t planned! He just SAID it!

“These are my kids,” says Obi-Wan Kenobi, on the spot, thinking it’s just a convenient and largely accurate way to describe his relationship with these young people in his care, completely missing the fact that he’s secured Anakin’s obsessive will-kill-for-you loyalty in the span of two seconds.

“That was just a cover, right?” “It might as well be true, Anakin, I did raise you for half your life and trained you as a warrior, that counts by Mando standards, and explaining Jedi-style apprenticeships would–” “I think Skyguy’s just asking if you really think of him as family.” “Well, obviously.”

Maybe he waffles a bit about age and how he’s not really OLD ENOUGH to be Anakin’s father but from a cultural perspective–

Just like… Obi-wan using a lot of hedging words because he’s allergic to telling Anakin he cares, but also, Anakin is basically his son-brother.

(Ahsoka knows but would def appreciate hearing, but Anakin… that kind of verbal confirmation would mean a lot.)

The chain travels to Travelers Hyrule and he starts finding one up dolls of all his new hero friends. They'll probably come in handy, so he'll hold onto them for now.
