I Was Thinking On My Walk Home From Work Today. I've Always Imagined Thrawn's Exile As A Vague Blob Of

Secret Affair… I Imagine this is precisely when Hera happens to call. (Sweet, sweet revenge!)

Loki Odinson’s character development was one of the most beautiful things about the MCU. It was absolutely beautiful. I refuse to believe he died so easily and brutally by his abuser. I absolutely refuse to believe it. He deserves so much more than that.

May the 4th be with You: A Poem for Star Wars Day

I meant it for Saint Valentine’s day, cause what could be better for SVD then a deja moo.

(Also hope, that deja moo idiom works fine. Sometimes I feel myself a bit Thrawn).

Something I noticed while listening to the Thrawn 2017 audiobook:

There’s a part in chapter 5 at Royal Imperial Academy where Eli gets all salty about Thrawn “getting through four years of military training in three months and also jumping a rank (to lieutenant) on everyone else.” And Thrawn’s like, “…Did you forget I have tons of military experience already?” This calms Eli down and he says he does indeed forget that fact sometimes.

This is wild to me because based on the new timeline information, Thrawn, who was born in BBY 59, is in his early to mid 40s at the time that he and Eli attend Royal Imperial. Eli, by contrast, is probably like 20-22 years old. (I’m basing this assumption off of Lost Stars where cadets attended Royal Imperial from age 16 to 19. I’m assuming the academy was taking younger cadets at the time of Lost Stars, and thus Eli was probably a few years older than 19 when he attended over a decade prior.) Anyways, Eli is rooming with a literal 40-something year old man — a guy who was one rank below flag officer in his own military — and he’s pissed off because the dude is Billy Madison-ing his way through Imperial naval training.

Why is Eli able to forget about their 20-ish year age gap and Thrawn’s obvious wealth of military expertise? They’re literally roommates. It seems hard to not remember this about your roommate. Is it because Thrawn looks young or because chiss age differently than humans? Is it because it’s hard for Eli to predict the relative age of an alien, especially when he’s only met one single person from the species? Is it related to Thrawn’s political naivete which makes him seems less experienced to Eli?

Why?? Because he definitely mistook this guy for someone of the same age and experience level as himself:

Maybe it’s because Thrawn put his boots on the bed. A 40 year old should know better 🙃

Saw a post like this with negative outlook so I asked for it to be fixed
