Tumblr crosspost (28 January 2020)

I reblogged a gifset of Anakin, Leia, and Luke being pissed off, set to the lines:

you think you can control me? (Anakin)
you think you can contain me? (Leia)
you think I respect you? (Luke)
my will is unshakable (Anakin/Vader)
my anger is unlimited (Leia)
and you are a fool (Luke)

I added:

I'm so happy whenever I see a set that (rightly!!!) draws a circle around Anakin, Luke, and Leia, and this one is so good.

After my organizational tags, I tacked on: I care about other Skywalkers, but these are the real deal for me.

I reblogged a set of manips of Shmi dying with Anakin, and Anakin with Luke, set to the words "we have wept for far too long"

I added:

Shmi-Anakin parallels in death are just ... I love them, but also ;_;

prncxsselsanaberrie at Tumblr responded to Ch 8 of The Jedi and the Sith Lord, the chapter that concludes with Anakin/Vader revealing his true identity:

OMG!

I replied:

Haha, writing this chapter, all I could envision was:

Lucy: Did you call it destiny when you killed Anakin Skywalker?

Vader:

I reblogged a photoset that I'd made some time before:



R2-D2 and his people!

Tumblr crosspost (29 January 2020)

I reblogged a gifset of Anakin and Luke with a gif of their ESB duel labelled "vader | luke," a later shot of it labelled "sith lord / jedi knight," and a third of Luke at Anakin's side as he lies dying in ROTJ labelled "father / son".

I added:

I just ... a;jkdf

I finally made an appointment to talk to my committee chair (the e-mail took me a good five months to work myself up to) and … it’s in half an hour.

aghghghhhhhhh

(I initially tagged it #anghraine babbles, my general text post tag, then said: #mm let's downgrade #anghraine whines)

[ETA 9/1/2021: from the viewpoint of the current hellscape of my life, this seems almost impossibly naive about how much worse things could get.]

I reblogged a photoset I'd posted in 2012 of ANH Luke and ROTS Anakin side by side:



I'd originally added:

I see the hair is genetic!

Tumblr crosspost (29 January 2020)

I reblogged a different photoset of ANH!Luke and ROTS!Anakin, both in black.

When I first reblogged it, I added:

I'm pretty sure they level up every time they change clothes.

On my second reblog, I said:

This was a 24/7 SW blog when I first got on Tumblr, so I've come full-circle :)

On this reblog, I said:

And I am back at it! Feels good, feels right.

I posted Ch 10 of The Jedi and the Sith Lord. The DW crosspost is here.

I added on Tumblr:

I may have been writing this at four in the morning. When inspiration strikes, it strikes hard!

An anon said:

SW hot take - Luke died a virgin and that's 100% valid

I replied:

It is totally valid, anon. Happily celibate ace!Luke is my headcanon and nobody will swerve me from it.

[ETA 9/1/2021: my music choices are generally just what I happen to be listening to at the time, but ngl, I did laugh when the shuffle gods gave me this one for virgin!Luke.]

I just played D&D for the first time in months, and it was a blast!

My war cleric got to cast Spirit Guardians on a room full of zombies :D

#and then there were no more zombies

I posted Ch 12 of The Jedi and the Sith Lord, and added:

It's short, but ends where I wanted it to!

I don't actually think Shakespeare wrote fanfic, but...

Since I made my fanfic post on Tumblr, I've seen about six more snide ones about how Real Literary Scholars understand that fanfic can't ever be compared with the True Art that is all early modern literature, even if the underlying rationale for dismissing fanfic equally applies, hdu compare A/B/O fics or whatever silly thing the fans are into today to real literature, it insults the degrees that Real Literary Scholars worked hard for, blah blah blah.

And, well, it's silly but that does rouse a bit of my flagging interest in my PhD research. I kind of wish I'd gone for adaptation in early modern and eighteenth century literature, which I considered and which could encompass this debate, but I thought research into early modern family structures (which is also very interesting to me) would be more ~respectable. But anyway. I'm an early modernist and they're full of shit.
