Oh I Have Been Distracted By New Ideas And More Often Than Not Im Tapping Away On The Keyboard One Of

Oh I have been distracted by new ideas and more often than not I’m tapping away on the keyboard one of those short stories for a collection.

The fan fic I finished the chapter for I have been working on it since 2011 and in that time my first Beta Reader moved two time zones away, she got engaged, married and had three child and I got engaged, married and now I am expecting my first child.

So don’t feel bad, compared to me you’re doing much better than I am

I'm 1,587 words into the next chapter of one of my fan fics with that number is going to climb higher tonight. if you don't mind sharing how many words are you into the next chapter of WHS? And I will see if I can match you; by spreading it over my two other WIPs if it's more than I usually make my chapters.

I’m actually working on Driftwood at the moment. I’ve written 458 words of my 2500 word chapter goal.

(I’ve technically got a little over 1,000 words of the next WHS chapter, but that’s probably going in the bin, so it doesn’t feel right to count it.)

Good luck with your word count goals tonight! 💕

Me: KITTY!

Everyone else: DANGEROUS CREATURE!!!!

Me: I agree with Fury: it’s just a cute kitty.

*sees the cute ‘kitty’ eat the Tesseract and Kree*

Me: Maybe it’s not just a cute kitty.

Me: . . . I want one. I will even settle for a cute, fluffy orange kitty and name it ‘Flerken’!

Species: Flerken

Threat: high

Don’t let current trends or ‘the norm’ stop you from pursuing your dreams and keeping your standards!

I love Self Forefilling Prophecies.

“The quote is simple enough, it’s Qui-Gon’s defense of Anakin after Obi-Wan insists that he and the entire Council can see that Anakin is dangerous.

‘His fate is uncertain. He’s not dangerous.’

And it’s true, Anakin wasn’t dangerous, not at this point. Ani was a relatively happy little boy who was expressive, emotive, and unerringly kind, who had been raised to think intelligently for himself and problem-solve along the way. But the things that made him a good person in normal circumstances were the very things that turned the Jedi Order against him. The Jedi would need to take everything that was /Ani/ away and instill their own doctrines, beliefs, and ways of seeing the galaxy to make him one of them, but at his advanced age, Anakin’s personality was likely setting into place. They wouldn’t be able to fully overcome his own instincts and opinions – he wasn’t a baby or a toddler who they could teach or force to think how they chose – therefore he was /dangerous/, he was other, and they immediately treated him as such.

Instead of welcoming him with acceptance and understanding or even compassion, the council immediately set themselves apart from Anakin and make it clear – to a child who had just escaped enslavement and had helped two of their own order – that he was not welcome in their company because he was going down the dark side path simply because he admitted to feeling fear. …In an entirely new place with strangers who are testing him left, right, and center, far away from the only source of love and security he’s ever know, it’s no wonder Ani is afraid. The Jedi use a little boy’s love of his mother to make him unworthy of their time and consideration, they twist love into a weakness and call themselves the better for it.

…Qui-Gon was right. Anakin wasn’t dangerous until the Jedi made him so. The Jedi created their own destruction and it eventually cost them everything. I think this is a theme that often goes overlooked because it’s the ‘good-guys’ doing the wrong things and we like to turn a blind eye to that sort of thing, but it bears noting that the same thing happens again in the sequel trilogy. Lessons are not being learned here. Ben Solo struggled with the darkness inside himself all his life, but it was Luke – a Jedi – who sealed his fate and the galaxy’s by deciding for everyone that his nephew was /dangerous/ and needed to be dealt with. Another great evil is born because of the judgement of the peace-keeping righteous. And it’s just as Rey says, Luke created Kylo Ren, the same way the Council created Darth Vader, and it began here in The Phantom Menace.”

I would rather read a high fantasy novel with people fighting over highly important orb than watch guys fight over a ball.

But it can be entertaining to see American Football players fight over the ball.

Some Star Wars Things to Keep You Awake at Night

If ‘Amidala’ was Padme’s ‘Political Name’ and ‘Naberrie’ was her true surname and any person on Naboo serving in any Political Office used a Political name during their tenure in Public Office than does that mean that Palpatine isn’t the Emperor’s real surname and if it’s not than what IS his real surname?

In TESB Vader offers to finish Luke’s Force Training, overthrow the Emperor together, end the destructive conflict and bring order to the galaxy. Fast-forward to RotJ and Vader tells Luke that the Emperor will show him the true nature of the Force and that the Emperor will be his Master from now on. Why the shift in thinking? Is he just saying words just in case the Emperor was watching them? Doesn’t Vader know about the Sith’s Rule of Two: one Master and one Apprentice? Wait, he would have to know since he’s been a Sith for 23ish years but if he’s saying that the Emperor will be Luke’s Master . . . .

Oh, I think I see now, he wanted Luke to live and having Luke replace him as the Sith Apprentice was the only solution he could find to keep his son, the child he thought was dead for 20 years, alive.

In the second Rush Clovis Arc Captain Typho had a medical droid called to tend to Clovis’s injuries and the medical droid put Clovis in contact with Dooku at Sidious’s request. Does this mean that ALL the medical droids in Padme’s building have hidden programs that have them report to Sidious? Is it just her medical droids? Did she get treated at any point in her pregnancy by a medical droid that would have reported her condition to Sidious? If so did he have the Droid tell her that there was just one? If things didn’t work out with Anakin was he going to take one of the twins and if Padme was alone and drugged she wouldn’t know possibly that there was two. Did Sidious have other Droids spying on Senators?

Dooku left the Order after TPM and Qui-Gon’s death but at some point Sidious reached out to him and converted him to the Dark Side BEFORE TPM as he was responsible for Sifo-Dyas death about the same time as TPM and ordering the Clone Army. How did Sidious meet Dooku and why did he convert him to his side and just how many other Jedi were converted to the side of the SIth, not just during the PT time frame, but in the decades and centuries before TPM?

Did these secretly evil Jedi recruit Barriss Offee to their cause? Barriss did mention she was hanging out with some Jedi that had a certain view on the War.  If so did they ask her to frame Ahsoka for the Temple Bombing?

If Maul hadn’t been killed on Naboo would Dooku have stayed in the Jedi Order and if so what role would he serve? Would he have voiced concerns about fighting in a galactic war? Would he have tried to divide the Jedi Order in two due to the war?

Or would Dooku have still left but Maul would have filled General Grievous’s shoes since Grievous possibly a replacement for Maul?
