dhampyresaI've been reading Darths & Droids lately.
It's Star Wars as a roleplaying game campaign(s) and it's really fun. It starts off with two players and a GM, then one player brings his little sister, and so on, until by the point I'm at (episode ~850/half-way through A New Hope) there are six players plus the GM. Two of the players are female and I keep thinking the un-named GM is too, although there's no basis for that. It's pretty true to my experiences as both RPer and GM -- I've met and/or been just about every one of the archetypes the player fall into, which isn't to say the players don't feel like real people, because they totally do.
I am oddly invested in every character in this. Not just the players, but the versions of the Star Wars characters they come up with too. Like, I am totally up for SPOILERS Anakin and Padmé taking over the galaxy. Curse you, Obi-Wan! Why couldn't you just join them >:[ Although Pete's pyrotechnic die made it worth it. /SPOILERS
In other Star Wars related news, I've been rewatching the movies, on account of how I am writing a fic in which ghost!Anakin makes an appearance.
I probably should have expected to get out of Revenge of the Sith shipping Obi-Wan and Anakin, given how much I love the "we used to be on the same side and now we're not" dynamic (and basically, conflicted loyalties in general, yessss) and YET. I spent the whole fight on the lava planet expecting one of them to save the other by, like, force of habit or something. I am super predictable, what can I say.
I didn't expect to end up shipping Obi-Wan and Padmé, but I do. I am also feeling like shipping all three of them is something I could totally get behind. I DON'T KNOW *throws up hands* (I ended up shipping Luke and Han when I rewatched the other trilogy. But I am also still shipping Leia and Han, so basically I am still multishipping all over the place. I can live with that.)
I'll take any/all Star Wars recs people have. I have an odd craving for Anakin + Leia interaction right now, but I'm sure this time tomorrow I'll want something else. (Possibly timetravel? Or Jedi!Leia. Or both.)
Here, let me rec you some (more) Star Wars stuff.
This is the scene from A New Hope where Obi-Wan tells Luke about his father, intersped with clips from Revenge of the Sith. It's really well done and also really sad.
My favourite piece of the Force Awakens fanart is the following Mulan-inspired fancomic (SPOILERS UP THE WAZOO btw).
It's here on tumblr. I also like this fancomic and this one.
There's also a number of really great and awesome fanart.
TL;DR: Star Wars :D!
