“On occasion, the Force allows us to connect with another living being and communicate with them across great distances, seeing what they see and feeling what they feel. Though this may seem like a harmless–and perhaps even valuable–ability, it is easily manipulated by those on the dark side. Some powerful Force users have been able to create secret bonds with others who are unaware of their connection. They then use those bonds to corrupt their target and steer their actions. Even if the unwanted bond is detected, it can still be extremely difficult to break.” –Luke Skywalker, Secrets of the Jedi Hey, do you want some creepy Force horror? Apparently dark siders can create a bond with someone without them even knowing and use it to corrupt their target and steer their actions, and even if you detect the bond, it can still be difficult to break. THANKS, STAR WARS, THAT’S TERRIFYING, I LOVE IT. It’s interesting, because the prequels Jedi didn’t really seem to have a problem with it, there are multiple examples of bonds and potential bonds, where they seem to have their shit under control and can deal with it when it might become dangerous, but Luke’s point of view on them seems much more wary, which makes sense when you consider what happened with Ben and Snoke. But just that it’s at all possible is terrifying! It’s probably moreso for people who aren’t Force-sensitive, rather than those who are trained and have a solid mental foundation in the Force, but the idea of, say, being able to manipulate someone without them even knowing you’re in their head, being able to steer their actions without them knowing it, that even once they’re aware of you, it’s hard as hell to get you out of their head, THAT’S THE PSYCHIC FORCE HORROR STUFF I’M TALKING ABOUT. I mean, just think how hard it would have been for Anakin to get Palpatine’s connection out of his head, that of course Palpatine would have quietly and sneakily put little suggestions here and there. Never too much, because Anakin was so strong in the Force and he had the help of all the Jedi if Sidious was ever detected, but how easy would it have been for Palpatine to hide in amongst Anakin’s already terrified thoughts? That the source of those unexamined fears was still Anakin himself, it has always been Anakin that’s the source, but that Palpatine would sneak a bond onto him, that Anakin would be too afraid to examine his own mind and his own fears, so it’s just that little extra push that makes it all the worse? THE FORCE IS TERRIFYING, OKAY.
This is funny. I needed this
Len: mick has these insanely strong opinions on everything. go on, ask him a thing no one should have an opinion on.
Ray: hey mick, what's the worse possible multiple of four?
Mick: twelve, obviously you fuckin' haircut
Omg, Domino squad getting saved because one of them turns into a dragon at Rishi and just completely loses it at the thought of any of the Dominos getting hurt. Just completely wrecks the droids with no thought to self preservation and maybe even gets hurt quite badly cuz they went so far beyond their limits. Rex and Cody arrive to absolute carnage and have to talk down this dragon that won't let any of their squad away from where they can protect them
Cody, to Rex: I put you in charge, this is your problem.
Shukaku: The Dreams. He feeds of nightmares.
Matatabi: The Dead. She’s the guardian of the underworld.
Isobu: The Sea. He travels for the ocean so his temples are build close to the shore.
Son Goku: Mountains and War. He’s better known between the samurais since he values the honor over the strength.
Kokuo: Hot Springs and Peace. Sometimes you just need a little rest before keep fighting.
Saiken: Poison and Loyalty. Those could sound like two different things but his followers know that appearances can be deceiving.
Chomei: Wind, Travelers and Harvest.
Gyuuki: Knowledge, Friendship and Art’s. He would share the first, fight to protect the second and suffer for those who love the third.
Kurama: Life, Love and Family. Of all the Nature Gods he’s the easiest to find since for the last century or so has made his dent in the mountains of Uzu no Kuni. He’s also known for being extremely patient and on the same time a little childish, if he finds a lost kid on his path there’s equal chances that he guide them back to their families or that the two of them ended screaming at each other for hours about the silliest things until someone came to get the kid back guided for the noise.
Also the Juubi’s known as the representation of destruction.
I have my reasons to believe that this characters of naruto would be followers of this bijuus: Reto of Shukaku (since he’s the closer to his country), Tobirama of Matatabi, Jiraiya of Kokou and surprisinly not only for the Hot Springs and Anko of Saiken.
In response to why Obi-Wan is losing armour during the course of the war (now that i've been released from captivity):
The suicidal ideations theory: Obi-Wan is slowly losing his armor during the course of the war because he is getting more careless with his life since he is losing the will to live. -- The loss of armour symbolises the decline of his mental health.
The practicality theory: Obi-Wan is losing armour beause as the war drags on he simply does not have the time to deal with the logistics of wearing armour. He is simply cutting back the time he would spend on maintenance + putting it on/taking it off + storing it. -- The loss of armour symbolises increasing urgency.
The martyr theory: Obi-Wan is tired of changing his fighting style to accommodate the extra weight and restrictions. He is prioritizing speed (which in the case of his preferred lightsaber style, Soresu, means acting as a human shield) over his own protection. -- The loss of armour symbolises his desire to protect others at the cost of his own safety.
The identity theory: He is losing his armour in protest because he feels like his duties as a soldier are in contradiction with his Jedi lifestyle. The armour, or rather what it represents, conflicts with his principles. -- The loss of armour symbolises his reaffirmance of his Jedi identity.
The aesthetic theory: It just isn't his look. -- The loss of armour symbolises Obi-Wan's status as a bimbo.
you know what i need??? more myth and superstition in scifi.
give me starship captains like the sailors of old, weathered and wary of the vast beast that is deep space, who religiously keep their own personal traditions and rituals to appease her and guide their ships safely through her vast depths.
give me wide-eyed ensigns eagerly drinking in tales of great creatures of the void, space whales and other more malevolent leviathans, dismissed as tall tales by more cynical cadets who only trust the sense of their own eyes.
give me whispered accounts of ghost vessels, lost long ago in great battles across the universe, populated by a literal skeleton crew.
give me a space bermuda triangle.
give me a universe as cold and unfathomable as the ocean, and no less mysterious and forboding.
"IG: Favorite mentorship on ina11"
I mean... I'm weak for "mentor that is kinda like a parent for the mc" and yeah, we all know Kageyama was an antagonist in all the OG seasons and Kidou had a big internal conflict about it but that is what make it interesting for me. Also the fact that Kidou is Kageyama's soft spot and Kidou keep referring to him as Commander after his death and in Galaxy.
Clarke: My hands are cold.
Lexa, holding Clarke’s hands: There you go.
Clarke:
Clarke: For some reason, my lips are getting cold too.
This is cute. And soft
GenKaze headcanons??
<3 I never knew I needed this ship until now <3
Genda x Kazemaru
> okay bruh, bruh. the best thing about this pairing is that both of them can’t fucking believe that they’re dating the other. They live in this constant state of ‘oh my god you’re so beautiful and amazing and hot and asdfjksl how is it that someone like you likes me’
> Both of them might be weak for one another, but Genda is most definitely the weakest for Kazemaru. Sometimes he just catches himself staring at Kazemaru during practice and he’s like ‘oh uhhhh shit’ and blushes like mad
> Teikoku’s goalie had already noticed Kazemaru during the very first game they played against Raimon. Not because he was oh so impressed by his abilities but he was literally like ‘damn he cute’
> He felt blessed af when he found out Kazemaru was their reinforcement member from the soccer committee but also became really self conscious out of nowhere
> Kazemaru had also secretly admired Genda for a while because he thought he was freaking badass and he had always had a weak spot for goalies
> PDA isn’t really their thing but they don’t mind because they’d much rather be intimate in private. Both of them aren’t a fan of showing such a side of themselves to friends and others
