So I Had A Little Think About This Scene. And How Obi-Wan Seems To Always Return People’s Lightsaber

the concept and idea of “you can always start trying to be a better person” is extremely important to me both in media and irl and i continue to be deeply deeply disturbed by the trend on this site pushing that these ideas in media are bad writing or even morally reprehensible

because theyd rather someone stay terrible or just straight up die than become a better person 

from a compassionate point of view it’s deeply distressing and from a pragmatic point of view it’s outright frustrating

it’s fucked up. 

Let it all out, let it all out  You don’t have to think your heart is made of steel. – Heavily inspired by @keiid ‘s fanart of the Todoroki siblings <3 I just want them all to be happy :’)) 

Me, every time I go on ao3:

I was watching The Mandalorian last night and I can’t even. Baby Yoda is the single best thing 2019 had to offer.

Person A: Do you have anything to say for yourself?!

Person B: I have a lot of things to say, first of all, BITCH.

For the au meme, would you do a Obi-wan as Mace 's Padawan ?

Yoda has Plans, of course, but recently-Knighted-his-padawan Mace Windu is wandering through the Temple alone and pondering upon adding a few new Vapaad moves, missing having Depa as a sounding board now that she’s taking missions of her own, and literally trips over an initiate that is full of anger and righteousness and a deep, abiding love for the Order and also about to apparently get shown off to somebody in an exhibition match or something, which, WHY, HE IS PERFECT, WHO NEEDS TO SEE ANYTHING ELSE IF THEY’VE MET HIM?? Also, there’s the suggestion of at LEAST three shatterpoints literally SITTING on this fucking kid, and they are fucking INTENSE ones because they are all decades out but they are also all rock-solid and Mace can already see them starting to show. If the Force has ever wanted him to sit the fuck up and Take Notice more than this, he could not even THINK of when it had been. 

“I realize you’re busy at the moment, but you don’t have a prospective Master, do you?” he asks, eyeing the kid’s right ear. There is zero sign of anything even resembling a braid but it’s polite to ask and all. “Uh–what?” Obi-Wan asks stupidly. Mace tries to remember how you woo a padawan into accepting your teachings; Depa sort of just latched onto him and things went smoothly from there, he’s not really sure how to just adopt one cold. Then again, the direct approach has served him fairly well in life. “The Force is telling me you would be a very suitable padawan for me, and I would be honored to prove myself as a suitable master to you,” he tries. “Will you accept?” 

Obi-Wan has never said “YES PLEASE” so fast in his LIFE. It’s MACE GODDAMN WINDU, Vapaad Master and all-around badass and CHAMPION OF THE JEDI, of COURSE he says yes. He goes to the exhibition match against Brock just dazed and confused af and also not entirely sure he’s still supposed to do it now, but also FUCKING DYING OF JOY TO THE POINT HE CAN’T STOP GRINNING. Everyone is like “um Obi-Wan are you okay” and then Mace sweeps in behind him and claps his hands down on his shoulders like “HEY so Master Yoda, I know you’re doing a thing here but I’d like to take my new padawan to get a haircut and put a braid in if that’s cool with you?” 

“What,” Yoda says blankly as the initiates all freak out and Qui-Gon IMMEDIATELY takes the opportunity to FLEE LIKE A MOTHERFUCKER, BLESS YOU MASTER WINDU HE OWES YOU ONE, HE OWES YOU TWENTY-ONE. Yoda is like FUCK, SO CLOSE I WAS. Brock Chun is eeeeven more pissed than in canon, probably, that’s definitely gonna bite someone in the ass later. <<;; 

And ah yes the impending first meeting of tiny Padawan Kenobi and Jedi Knight “you literally JUST Knighted me and you’re ALREADY taking a new padawan, Master, omg take a VACATION why don’t you” Billaba. It will be BEAUTIFUL. ❤

Heaven Official's Blessing, or Tiān Guān Cì Fú, is my favorite danmei novel.

Heaven Official's Blessing, or Tiān Guān Cì Fú, is my favorite danmei novel. Here's why:

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! BELOW ARE SPOILERS FOR ARC 4, OR BOOK 6 FROM THE SEVEN SEAS TRANSLATION.

Ok, the reason this is my favorite danmei novel, is directly tied into Hua Cheng and his complete and utter devotion to Xie Lian. In the hundred sword piercing scene in Arc 4, or Book 6, the scene is built up So Well, with Xie Lian and Bai Wuxiang and all of the sheer mindfuckery that happens with the people. And yeah, Xie Lian's pain and heartache and despair is absolutely Heart wrenching, but Hua Cheng. Hua Cheng is who Sells that scene for me. Because he Loves this man, this GOD, he is devoted and faithful and as close to everlasting as he can get, and he has had to Watch as the man he loves goes through Literal Hell while Hua Cheng is literally an incorporeal Ghost Fire. He is almost entirely powerless, and he is unable to help or even alleviate some of Xie Lian's pain. And you can Feel that So Keenly in the hundred sword piercing scene, when Xie Lian is screaming, and in Such Pain, and he just it's to Stop, he is Finally asking for help and No One Hears Him, and Hua Cheng the helpless incorporeal Ghost Fire who loves this man can only Watch. He can do NOTHING to help. And it tears him apart. And their combined but separate agony is what makes this scene get to me So Deeply every. Single. Time. That I read it. I break down crying every time, because their feelings are so visceral, and they feel like they're both alone with this but they're not, and it all just combines into this wonderful terrible amazing heartrending scene, and I just. I love this novel so much. Because it let me experience that depth of emotion. It's so good. It's amazing. And absolutely everyone should read it, because it is catharsis and heartbreak and angst and validation all in one place.
