If You Are A Fan Fic Writer And You're Alright With People Making Fan Art Of Your Fic, Reblog This

If you are a fan fic writer and you're alright with people making fan art of your fic, reblog this 💚

First base is violence second base is convoluted codependence third base is applying pressure to the vulnerable parts of their body to keep their entrails from spilling out

do u ever just point at two characters and go “i want that one to get hurt and i want the other one to get really angsty about it”

You didn't kill Anakin Skywalker, I did.

I feel like people miss the point of the "war is bad" message

What it's supposed to mean is that war is terrible, it's destructive, it ruins lives, it leaves scars, and you should only partake in it when there are no other options, because even if you win, even if you survive, you will not be the same, which is why the phrase used to be more commonly known as "war is hell"

But "war is bad" seems to have been construed by people in fandom into "any fighting is bad, if you fight you're morally terrible and impure, you should not fight at all, no matter what", this is annoying in fandom, as it often misses the point fiction is trying to make, but what's worrisome is when people apply this to real life, as I have seen people do regarding russia's invasion of Ukraine

And that's almost never the point of "War is Bad" works

Works like Lord of the Rings, Avatar The Last Airbender, Transformers, The Clone Wars, Halo (especially Reach), etc all have themes on how horrible war is, but they categorically do not say it is wrong to fight, what they say is usually along the lines of "war is terrible, and what makes it so terrible is that we have no choice but to fight, it would be ideal if we didn't have to fight at all, but we must fight, because not fighting is not an option, because not fighting, not opposing tyranny, conquest, and evil only allows those things to exist unimpeded"

I realized recently that everytime I think "I want to watch Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith", what I'm actually thinking is "I want to watch Obi-Wan vs Anakin duel again", but you can't watch that shit in its own without watching the rest of the movie leading up to it.

Not that the rest of the movie isn't also fucking fantastic, but goddamn it really doesn't get much better than Anakin vs. Obi-Wan.

It's so good I can't get over it
