THE SMITHS!!!

THE SMITHS!!!

sometimes I get so wrapped up in the difficulty of designing things that when I finally manage to get something that I’m pleased with and think will work, I forget I also need time and skill to actually create the thing and this is annoying

I’ve never fallen in love with a human the way I’ve fallen in love with halo armor and mandalorian armor and katarn class clone commando armor

they make me happy in a way I cannot explain it was love at first sight boba fett in empire strikes back for mandalorian, master chief in a cosplay compilation for halo, and the cover of republic commando hard contact for katarn class commando armor.

<3

p.s. Dear above mentioned armors, it is entirely unfair the hold that you have on me. Please give my brain back I need it.

Libraries with a sense of humour.

Fate of the Jedi is a really weird series

half of it is really interesting and half is just 🤨 can we go back to the political drama now? I’m reading the seventh book right now so if you care spoilers up till then

Much of the plot is a political drama and you have a chief of state challenging the Jedi on their “military power but not military accountability” but then becoming more and more paranoid and control hungry until you end up with a war between the Jedi and the government and meanwhile there’s the imperial remnant being civil with the new republic government and even while its leader is engaged to marry a Jedi and there are conspirators working together to take down both the republic chief of state and the leader of the imperial remanent. Oh plus there’s currently a bunch of organized protests and slave revolts happening in the new republic which is another thing for the chief of state to worry about. And what does she do? She hires mandalorians because she can’t use the regular military.

Then you have these Jedi who went mad and thought that everyone was an imposter and started attacking people (this was the tipping point with the chief of state)  and so Luke skywalker and his son head off to find what is causing it and they find an ancient being who can consume force users and one of the people it consumed was one of Luke’s ex girlfriends and we meet another one who is in very short order also consumed by this monster and they’re trying to figure out how to kill her and oh my here’s a civilization of sith no one knew exsisted and now luke and his son are workin with one and the sith girl and luke’s son are maybe falling for each other and then we’re about to make headway on the ancient monster problem but then we switch back to the political drama

And there are so many povs. The whole time the force stuff is going on I really just want to go back to the political drama

I mean I’ll be the first to admit I’m kinda biased against the force as a deep mando lore nerd but at the same time I adore the high republic novels so idk.

anyways I rather like these books
