fic i probably should write

Luke dies in his fight with the Emperor before Vader has a chance to save him.

This breaks Vader, to the point where he just fucking leaves the Empire and goes off to find Leia “there is another” Organa and what remains of the Rebellion. 

And he shows up on Leia’s doorstep, to which Leia shoots him immediately. “Okay that’s fair,” he says, wheezing and holding his wired shoulder in pain.

“What do you want?” she says, this time aiming the blaster at his head. “Answer quickly.”

He tosses her Luke’s lightsaber. “This should belong to you. He would want you to have it.” He coughs, “And I want to join the Rebellion.”

Leia lowers her gun very carefully. “Explain.”

“What is there to explain?” Vader stands fully, towering over Leia. “He killed my son. I want the Emperor dead. At this point, I no longer care what government replaces him so long as the man who murdered my son is dead.”

Leia thinks I can work with that.

So you have Leia here steadfastly ignoring Obi-Wan and Yoda’s ghosts who follow her around spouting Jedi nonsense, of which she refuses to listen to unless they let her talk to Luke, who instead turns to Darth Vader to learn the ways of the Force. “Lost, all hope is” except it isn’t.

Because you have Darth “Probably Not A Dark Sider Anymore But Also Wouldn’t Call Him a Jedi” Vader and Leia “Anger Is My Middle Name But I’m Also Firmly In the Light” Organa teaming up and wrecking havok on literally everything. Seriously, there are whole planets on fire.

Vader teaches Leia the Force, and they never bring up the fact that they are related if they can help it (which means, inevitably, that they end up talking about it occasionally: “You look like your mother,” “…What was she like?” v. “I see now why Obi-Wan didn’t train you. You couldn’t be more my daughter if you tried. Poor Bail…I can only imagine what you were like as a child.” with Leia sputtering “HOW DARE”).

 meanwhile Han Solo is following them holding a baby Ben (who, I imagine, is now named Luke) going “guys? guys? i don’t understand. why is darth vader here. leia why haven’t you shot him. leia can I shoot him? leia we should probably not set this planet on fir–okay, so we’re setting this place on fire. cool cool cool”

in the afterlife, Obi-Wan and Yoda are mourning about how ALL IS LOST while Padme and Luke are drinking mimosas and laughing because they knew there was good there all along.

So today I found out there are some people who didn't realise you could block someone on anon. NOBODY should have to put up with it, it's bullying. So for those who don't know, here's how........

First of all, go to the ask inbox from your account settings page (not the notifications page. You can do it from there, but it's more longwinded) Open the ask inbox.......

Tap on the three dots and those options will appear. You can either report, block or delete.

Please reblog this so anyone who keeps getting anon hate knows what to do ☝

Youngkin asks Virginia parents to turn in teachers for teaching 'divisive' concepts

“Report your kid’s teacher for admitting racism exists” is apparently going to be to 2022 as “report your coworker for communism” was to the early 1950s.

Oh good, they set up an email account to collect reports on teachers teaching unapproved stuff. Here is the address:

Another thing to consider is the shape of the hands of various aliens and the number of fingers on said hands.

All Sign Language that is used on Earth is based on the fact that we have five fingers and might not work for aliens that either don’t have the same number of fingers or even the same dexterity/joints as humans.

The children’s show Bluey recently introduced a deaf character and the animators had to adjust the AusLan (Australian Sign Language) because the characters only have four fingers.

I don’t know about other countries Sign Languages but I know with at least Exact English Sign Language one Sign can have different meanings depending on how you move your hand.

An example would be folding down all your fingers except for the thumb and pinky and hold your hand up makes the letter ‘Y’ (this is the same in American Sign), if you hold it close to your body and twist your wrist back and forth it’s the color ‘yellow’, holding your hand near your face and twisting your hand can mean ‘silly’ with the correct facial expression and two ‘Y’s by your shoulders and twisting your wrists means ‘play’.

And if you get a Sign wrong you could be asking for something completely different than what you think you’re asking.

I heard a rather mortifying story where a cop, fresh out of his Sign Language class, top of the class, pulled over a hard of hearing/deaf lady and unknowingly missigned driver’s license to her and got confused when she became uncomfortable and distressed when he kept insisting to see it.

He discovered that he wasn’t Signing driver’s license but something else when it occurred to him that he might be Signing driver’s license wrong and asked.

Won’t say exactly what he was unintentionally asking to see as it will get me into trouble here; @slecnaztemnot can probably guess what it was though.

And slecnaztemnot please correct me if I’ve made any errors as I’m not fluent in Sign and am still learning to help my son, he has a severe speech delay, communicate with me and others as he learns to communicate with the world.

Sign Language in the GFFA

This is a set of headcanons I developed for Speechless about how sign works in Star Wars. I do not know any sign languages myself, but that’s because I’ve found I have difficulty picking up new languages in general. I read up on a lot of theory and ran this past a few people who have more experience in real world sign language than I do, so I think it mostly checks out.

That said, if a disabled person (specifically deaf or with a speech disability) has some ideas on how to refine this to be more realistic, or would like to point out something that’s offensive, I’d greatly appreciate it.
