wore my thigh high boots on a walk today and we had to take a path through some long grass and while everyone else was rolling their pants into their socks and putting on jackets to protect themselves from ticks i was standing there smug as hell in my thigh high leather boots.
Drax was never meant to be a destroyer, and we see it on GOTG 1.
He’s the first one who pets rocket. The first one who give the Raccoon a gentle touch. He’s the one who talk to Mantis and sympathise in GOTG 2 (in his own way lol) which resulted in her wanting to help the guardians. I guess he’s always been a father-like figure.
Very serious important question: If Vader lived and found himself as a grandfather following either the EU, Disney, Fanfiction, or whatever, what nickname would he give himself? Would he be Peepaw?
this is a question of the utmost importance that requires all of my analytical power to address, thank you.
so the truth is that, the grandfather almost never picks the actual nickname, it’s the parents/children - the grandfather may insist on being called the Grandfather, but if the dad goes in and is like uh, no, we will be calling him pawpaw, pawpaw will stick. there is no agency in this choice. i am partial to luke teaching his baby ben skywalker to exclusively refer to the hulking ex-warlord in the corner as “pawpaw” because holy shit, i mean, just, holy shit. he is now Lord Pawpaw.
my second answer utilizes my own headcanons for huttese, which ‘ebi’ is the word for 'grandfather’ and this was designed to achieve the following; baby ben skywalker referring the hulking ex-warlord in the corner as “bee” or “beep.” perhaps even. “bee bee” or “beep beep.” he is now Lord Beep Beep. furthermore i’ve joked in happier AUs, the twins as babies out to call obi-wan “bee” because they can’t say his whole name, which means, in a complete fit of narrative irony, vader’s grandkids now refer to him by the same thing obi-wan’s grandkids would have. he is now demoted to Lord Bee.
ask star wars fandom to explain why it’s noble, heroic, and the height of compassion for luke to go to vader and ask for vader to come away with him, but why the common take is that it was pathetic, immoral, and stupid of padme to do the same thing (despite padme knowing anakin better, having a more personal relationship with anakin, and anakin having done just by the numbers a couple less murders) and then watch it shit itself to death as it rapidly tries to explain that No It’s Feminism Actually
if you think the concept of a redemption is stupid why are you watching the Space Villain Gets Redeemed At The End movie
