so in the 800 times they got reset, there’s been some Chidi/Eleanor, some Eleanor/Tahani, and some Tahani/Jason.
So there’s… a non-zero chance that there was some Chidi/Jason going on at some point.
And to be honest, all I can imagine is, like, it’s a timeline where for some reason Jason kept quiet for a lot longer so Chidi finds himself attracted to this wise, calm, silent monk that just listens while Chidi rants about the problems he’s facing….
im really losing my shit thinking about vulcan childrens music and television. who could forget such hits as “3 is an appropriate number” and “walking in the street could lead to maiming or death”
the vulcan equivalent of the wiggles is just 3 normally dressed individuals reciting multiplication tables in unison
Speaking as someone with very little knowledge of Star Trek – I’ve seen like three episodes from random versions and I read Spock’s World – I violently disagree with this.
Even before I had such minimal knowledge as I do now, I thought that “vulcan” was a very appropriate word for them. It’s not that they don’t have emotions, if anything they have more than humans, they just run hard and deep, like volcanoes. You don’t want that thing to erupt.
So I imagine vulcan children’s TV is much like Sesame Street. Here is a muppet with anger issues! He spilled his milk and it made him ANGRY!!! Here comes someone dressed in completely normal clothes to say yes, that was indeed unfortunate, but anger is an irrational response to such a thing and not in keeping with the teachings of Surak; let us now explore different forms of meditation as emotional control, one of which includes three normally dressed individuals reciting multiplication tables in unison.
Not only is Luke a proper phoenix for Asch to resent, but after Akzeriuth, he starts plucking out his own feathers from the trauma. He usually does it at night when he won’t be seen, but Guy eventually catches on and does what he can to stop Luke and provide whatever reassurance he can.
Here’s some Basic Setting Info for the [ Phoenix Down ] AU:
Probably best summarized as “It’s basically just Tales of the Abyss, but everyone is potentially a shapeshifter. Nothing else really changes except as needed to integrate this concept into the setting.“
Additional setting details respective of this:
Each person can potentially shapeshift into a specific animal.
In modern times, the shape is not known until a ceremony is performed when a person reaches 10 years of age, which involves opening all of the fon slots. The kind of animal does not change after this.
In ancient times, shifting was unstable and possible at a younger age but could not be controlled.
Kimlasca of modern times considers this tradition barbaric and antiquated and forbids it.
Malkuth is progressive but embraces this aspect of life. Any Kimlascan nationals of Malkuth origin would do best to hide this ability.
Van’s kidnapping of Asch involves this ceremony, performed after Asch is replicated, after he sees that he had been replaced. Guy can transform; van conducted it in secret. He uses his form to catch up with Luke early in the game. Luke’s form is awakened at choral castle when his fon slots are synched to Asch.
To shift, one must open all their fon slots, which briefly makes them more vulnerable. As such, jade’s fon slot seal locks his ability to change shape.
Natalia has this ceremony forced upon her after Akzeriuth as part of Mohs’s plot. She and Luke are accused of being imposters -filthy beasts who are spying for Malkuth.
I’ve included a few more images –
Natalia and Luke vs Kimlasca and Daath, after Akzeriuth, facing accusations.
Oh my, just what is Guy? You’ll see soon enough.
Luke isn’t the first Mythical tier person Jade has seen. He knew another quite well, in his childhood, before she died.
Notably, Yulia Jue was a historically documented Mythical (Uniceros).
Jade, on the other hand, is a Monster. Well, he’d call himself one regardless, but below Mythic tier lies a very rare (but not QUITE as rare) tier of people whose inner creature is not a normal animal, but unlike Mythical creatures, there are no special powers that come with the package. Largo is a black lion. What else were you expecting?
Oh man, looking forward to seeing more! This is super cool.
I saw the tweets about this today, and I was like oh yeah, I remember hearing about that.
And then I saw the pictures and just— wow. What it would have meant to have these women in the movie, all this time. I can’t properly articulate it but it’s hitting me unexpectedly hard.
Wow thats a shame, even a nice old lady too. These Space Valkyries should have been left in.
I lived, ate, and breathed Star Wars from age 2 until 2005 when RotS finally beat the enthusiasm out of me, and I have NEVER, EVER in all my reading on behind-the-scenes and makings-of heard of these shots. It’s a shame there was no relaunched edit of the original trilogy they could have slipped these in OH FUCKING WAIT THERE’S BEEN LIKE 3 OF THOSE NOW.
Fuck. FUCK. Whoever decided to edit out and bury these needs to french kiss an angle grinder.
I want to see the old lady in the A-Wing. Seriously, it’s like, she’s somebody’s grandma. Some kid in the Outer Rim Territories got greased by the Empire for seeing something she wasn’t supposed to see, and her grandma, the bush pilot, decided “Fuck this, I’m gonna strap on an fighter and make the Empire fucking PAY for the moment it decided to fuck with MY FAMILY.”
DON’T. MESS. WITH. GRANDMA.
These are quickly being put into the “always reblog” category.
Whenever there is a war, there are women who are warriors. Then they get erased from history. Happens in real wars and fictional ones alike.
Less than 5% of general aviation licenses go to women. If these had been left in, you can bet that number would be higher.
^^^That knocked the breath out of me.
I just can’t believe they not only took them out, but refused to put them back in during the seventeen times they updated the movies. And of course the only possible explanation for this is: you do not belong here.
Literally though. How many stupid remasters have they done but THIS gets left out? Ugh
i'll apple your turnover
