I Never Thought About It Like That - Tumblr Posts

hi hello just read that post you wrote about wolffe and ahsoka and why wolffe stunned her so easily and now im thinking about how wolffe would feel when he finds out ahsoka is actually innocent and how she left the jedi order. i wonder if he worries about his sister out there alone. even if he knows how capable she is. (im sad now we were robbed asdafsafsadf)

Oh you’ve got me going now. (Original Post they’re referring to)

The trail is over. Ahsoka is innocent.

Plo Koon comes back from the Council meeting dejected. Head hung low. Breathing slow and shallow.

He’s tired.

But Wolffe doesn’t feel anything as Plo explains everything to them. As he talks through the Council meeting, Wolffe can’t even will his heart to stir. When he tells them Ahsoka has left the order, Comet seems shocked, but Wolffe finds himself like stone.

And he doesn’t feel anything when he sees the 501st pushing back tears in the mess hall the next morning. And he doesn’t feel anything when Plo accidentally calls for Ahsoka on the battlefield.

But his eye burns again.

It’s phantom pain, he knows. It’s been too long for the scar to even hurt anymore. But it burns.

And in the middle of battle and the dead of the night sometimes the flames feel so hot, and it’s almost as if-

As if he’s staring down those blood red sabers again.

Because Ahsoka didn’t attack the temple.

But she left the order. She abandoned Plo Koon, who wanders alone in quiet grief.

And she didn’t destroy all those Jedi.

But she worked with Ventresses.

And as much as he tries to forget, as much as he tries to let go.

He can’t stop thinking about that. And he trusted her, and Plo Koon trusted her. And the whole pack trusted her-

And they played games on the battlefield, and Comet let her drive their ship, and Boost painted a little wolf on her boots-

And Wolffe trusted her.

And now he wakes in the night seeing red flames and his eye burns- and he pretends not to notice the way Plo Koon lingers around the temple, wandering.

Empty.

But now it’s years later.

He’s grey, and his joints ache, and through wastelands he wanders with the only pack he has left. And Rex asks him to watch over their comms.

And Ahsoka calls.

And she calls.

And she calls.

So Wolffe deletes the records, and he hides the messages. And he pretends she doesn’t exist.

Because he trusted her, and Plo Koon trusted her.

And now Plo is gone. And the Wolfpack is gone. And Wolffe thinks part of him might be gone too.

But his eye still burns.

Once you catch the Red Dragon, your wife and son can go home again. Can you?

Happy Hannigram Day! Episode 3x12, The Number of the Beast is 666, aired in the US one year ago today. <3

“Corporations supporting things like BLM and Pride is largely performative and shouldn’t be overly praised or focused on. They’re just trying to do what they think will earn them money” and “Corporations openly showing support for things like BLM and Pride are incredibly important” and not mutually exclusive ideas.

Corporation support is not the source of social change, it’s the visible indication of it. A mall covered in rainbow flags with ‘pride month sales!’ is nothing that makes LGBT people more accepted, nor do tweets from companies about supporting the BLM protests do anything to stop police violence, but they DO show the shift in public mindset. Corporations don’t take risks. They don’t make bold statements that they feel are unpopular or will lose them money or support. They’re a litmus test for when a statement or symbol that has been taboo becomes a commonly held belief. 

When a corporation makes these kinds of statements, it means that the people out there fighting every day for these movements are having an effect. Their fight is causing a change in social perception to the point where businesses who carefully choose every single thing they say can post about solidarity with protesters and feel confidant that they are saying something that represents the feelings and beliefs of the majority. A mall being covered in Pride flags is a sign that the country will accept a mall filled with Pride flags. That those working to make social and cultural change are succeeding. 

See, I think I would be less vocal about transandrophobia if the concept of All Men = Evil wasn't becoming slowly but surely ingrained in the queer community.

And it's mostly just repackaged misogyny.

“Is it that time of month?” ≈ “Trans men should take mood stabilizers when on T/Trans men without mood stabilizers should be illegal”

“Women are out to get you” ≈ “Trans men are fowl when it comes to relationships”, “Trans men really are the men of the trans community” “Trans men are favored by the patriarchy.”

“If I offended you, I'm sorry Emily, Sarah, Stephanie, [other “generic white women names”] ≈ “If I offended you, sorry Alex, Sam, James, [other “generic transmasc names”]

Women being hysterical ≈ Trans men being aggressive

Like idk maybe we should look into that. Maybe we should stop the repackaged misogyny from male misogynists and TERFs.

And honest-to-god, I think the thoughts on those people's brains is something like “You don't suffer, you're a man.”
