Korean-Chinese Bellatrix would have been amazing. I imagine pureblood families would have to be interracial, holding the purity of magical birth over the purity of ethnicity. Prejudice so deep it swallows all others. Meanwhile, those who don’t care about magical blood stay racially homogeneous due to their biases not being crowded out by open hatred, showing even ‘unbigoted’ people can have prejudices.

I wonder if wizards would care about the Muggle concept of race at all? It would be interesting if ideological purebloods replaced one bigotry for another, as you posit.

I didn’t even notice the connection to toxic masculinity. It fits so well. He’s elderly, but his body is 60 (the equivalent of thirty for his species— old enough to be a man and not a youth, but young enough to be in prime physical condition.) He craves power and domination (and he’s already an emperor) and has a magic ring he can secretly hurt people with to stop them from finishing their sentences.

So part of his power is literally interrupting people? Embodiment of toxic masculinity confirmed 😂

Are you into any of the Legends Star Wars stuff? You mentioned the apprentice being a worse person than the master being a cool concept. You should check out the Darth Plagueis novel. Sidious was a fucking monster even as a teenager and while Plagueis is a bastard himself, I bet you’d end up liking him more than Palpatine

I only knew of Plagueis as a meme 😂 It looks like history repeated itself with Kylo & Snoke.

I’m a demiromantic but I’ve only ever had one (1) person be romantically attracted to me and we knew each other for less than week so yeah don’t know how that’s going to work out because usually by the time I realize I’ve fallen for someone I’ve already embarrassed myself and gotten myself friendzoned, which my dumb self never realizes and I end up digging my grave deeper and alienating them for good

Aww, that sounds very hard. 😦 It looks like better social interaction skills would be key for you to have romantic relationships in the future. It gets better with time and practice!

That all came out of conversations about what would have happened if the Nazis all went to Argentina but then started working together again?’” Abrams said in the interview.

“What could be born of that? Could The First Order exist as a group that actually admired The Empire? Could the work of The Empire be seen as unfulfilled? And could Vader be a martyr? Could there be a need to see through what didn’t get done?

i-am-therefore-i-fight:

Finn jerks awake, panicking for a moment when he feels restrained – but it’s only Rey’s arms wrapped around him (she’s got limbs like a rathtar, this one). He thought he heard booted feet and shouting down the hall, but as he takes a moment to listen and breathe, he realizes that it was only part of his dream.

Rey’s awake, too, looking rather alarmed; he pats her once on the shoulder, trying to be reassuring, but she just lies there looking at him. He sighs.

“Did something happen or was it a dream?” she asks.

“Just a dream.”

She sighs too, then, and buries her face in his chest. “It’s not that I wish I could block it out. I don’t want you to go through it alone.”

“But I wish Luke had at least taught us to control it so we wouldn’t leak all over each other,” Finn replies ruefully.

Rey affects a comically pompous tone. “Yes, I’d like for you to keep your feelings over on your side of the bed, please.”

He pokes her in the ribs, making her cringe and giggle. He pokes her again, and she smacks his hand away.

“Stop it,” she says. “Go back to sleep.”

“Alright,” he lies, and nuzzles into her hair. There’s no point telling her that sleep won’t return anytime soon – if he’s awake, she will be, too.

Ahhhhh yes, because Rey represents the entire New Republic and Kylo isn’t a mass murdering war criminal who burned down Luke’s school, kills his classmates, killed innocent villagers, murdered his dad, then LITERALLY just got done attacking his mother’s ship and has a history of lying.

Yup. Luke should have let Rey trust the guy who wants to kill anyone who gets in his way. Great plan.

First of all..the first time the Force Skype thing happened, Kylos first move was to try and mind trick Rey.

Second, what compromise can you possibly have with people who slaughter entire villlages and destroy systems of planets? This isn’t deciding who gets to control the music in the car…
