i really should make an oc based on my favourite concept ever: jedi dropout who does online tutoring for kids whose parents didnt hand them over to the jedi
pov you are walking down a coruscant street and you hear somebody on the phone (holo phone? comms? whatever) saying “listen to me, no, listen, grandmaster yoda, i HEAR what you’re saying but listen, listen: i will spill any jedi knowledge for twenty credits. and if you want me to stop you’re going to have to fucking kill me. alright? give master koon my love and tell aayla that spare room is still up for grabs” and then they hang up
it’s not ideological they just left the order for love and then immediately had the worst breakup ever but they’d already told half the council to fuck off so they had to commit
But did he survive Order 66?
would they even be a star wars character if they didnt survive to go on a mad scramble quest to collect all their idiot baby students before the empire gets them. they have to borrow their ex’s ship it’s a whole drama
If Clark is kidnapped, he knows without having to ask that Bruce is going to hunt him down with the help of the entire Justice League. They’ll find him! He’ll be fine!
If Bruce is kidnapped, he’ll just sit there — maybe getting lightly tortured — and dread the arrival of all 17 of his kids, one angry Kryptonian without his emotional support human, Alfred having a RED moment, the Batcow, and all of the active JL members who don’t hate him right now (Hal Jordan will probably still come with, but he will complain the entire time)
listen. i know it’s not 2014 anymore and i know it’s just a throwaway line and that the russo brothers didnt intend for marvel action blockbuster captain america the winter soldier to become the tragic gay love story that never was but man. having steve say “it’s kind of hard to find someone with shared life experience” in a conversation about romantic relationships right before the bucky reveal is so cruel. it’s not just about steve and bucky obviously having the shared experience of being “out of time,” it’s the fact that they’ve both been stripped of their humanity in opposite directions. steve is a legend, he is an american hero and a national icon before he is a human being the same way that bucky is a weapon and a killing machine before he is a human being. steve knows that anyone who falls in love with him in the 21st century fell in love with captain america first, and that’s just not him. but then the one person who knew him first and knew him best and loved him (not captain america, that little guy from brooklyn) so much he died for it is alive, impossibly. and it’s a miracle because he’s back and it’s horrific because he’s back under the worst possible circumstances. but to steve, the winter soldier is worth tearing the world apart for because he’s always been bucky first. they find each other and suddenly they’re human again. and maybe, despite it all, being “out of time” becomes a blessing, because in this century they’d finally be allowed to love each other the way they’ve always wanted to. like real people do.
like. no. the captain america trilogy isn’t about two queer men traumatized and alienated by war and modern life rediscovering and reclaiming their humanity through their love for each other. but. i mean. it couldve been
