finis valorum, least subtle name ever, unless I guess you don't read Latin

Wow, this is the second slashiest thing I've ever read in the EU, where Anakin cuts his way through an army of bounty hunters screaming for Obi-Wan after having ~visions, while Obi-Wan snarks and Ki-Adi-Mundi despairs. Then they embrace and stare lovingly into each other's eyes.

I'm not as fond of the art in this one as I am of Last Stand on Jabiim (I'm not reading them in order, just amusing myself with the Anakin/Obi-Wan bits) -- it's mostly the floating heads, it's very classic somehow; reminds me of my dad's stuff that I read when I was a kid (lots and lots of Tarzan comics, mostly) -- but SO SLASHY. (Or bromantic, whatever.) Plus Obi-Wan being awesome. (KICKING PEOPLE IN THE FACE.)

The most slashy thing I've ever read in the EU -- and I haven't done a lot, it's sort of an investment, and I prefer being able to make things up -- is the RotS novelization, obvs. Because their Twoo Wuv, and also the scene where Obi-Wan's like, "Oh, I recognize this butt! This is Anakin's butt! I can pick it out of a line-up upside down and concussed while being hauled up an elevator shaft!" (I...am not making this up. STAR WARS MEANS NEVER HAVING TO SAY YOU'RE MAKING IT UP. Unless you're actually making it up, I guess.)

(Like, I was going, "Mmm, a gladiatorial fight with Jedi, that would be -- oh wait. That happened. IN MOVIE CANON EVEN." ...twice, now that I think about it. Oh, Star Wars. You always bring the crack.)

Oh, gosh, that would be depressing. I am writing genderfuck and time travel, so it's pretty much lulzy by definition. Except for right now, when it's full of angst, apparently. (Ani Skywalker: not really that pleased to hear about the Anakin turning into Darth Vader thing.)

[darklyndsea]

My ideas come in two main categories: cracktacular and depressing (and okay, there's probably a few that are both cracktacular and depressing at the same time, like...the Joan of Arcadia/Dexter crossover?). Yeah, there's a reason I keep an ideas blog.

It has to be so weird and horrifying to learn that any version of yourself is The big evil in their universe.

[bedlamsbard]

I specialize in cracktacular and depressing. Narnia/T:SCC! Narnia/Batman! Susan/Willy Wonka! (I...still can't believe I wrote that.)

Ani is freaking the fuck out, and they don't even know for sure that Vader was Anakin Skywalker. Obi-Wan is not too happy either. Fortunately Han, Luke, and Leia haven't realized yet.

Have you read White Rabbits? It's a post-RotJ/pre-RotS time travel (permanent) WIP.

[darklyndsea]

Ooh, no, haven't read that (why can't you just work right, Delicious*?).

Susan/Willy Wonka was brilliant!

Honestly, I think that a lot of my ideas would work better if I could write in a non-serious way, because then I wouldn't end up coming up with *completely rational explanations* for my cracktacular ideas and they could actually be lighthearted rather than depressing. Although let's be honest, I'd probably just end up writing that Oedipus AU of Harry Potter. Or at least make better progress on my MEthos goes to Hogwarts fic. Um, on second thought let's just say I'd be writing a lot of HP and Sherlock. (HP/Die Hard! HP/Star Wars barely-an-AU! The one where Harry was raised by dragons! The one where Simba grows up to become Aslan!)

*Er, Delicious the site. I'm not a cannibal, I swear!

[bedlamsbard]

It is not finished, but it's fun!

omg, Simba growing up to be Aslan?

[darklyndsea]

I don't remember most of my justification for Simba growing up to be Aslan, but...just how many talking lions who rule over other species of animals and have a father who is dead/in the sky (I'm not super clear on this point) who they talk to, do you think there can be? There are just too many coincidences for them to actually be coincidences. :P

We were playing Disney Scene It and all of the clues except the last one applied to both of them. It was so bizarre, but I'm convinced it's the truth now.

[bedlamsbard]

SIMBA.

[darklyndsea]

:D

Am I succeeding in spreading my fanon?

[bedlamsbard]

Well, at the least, I am highly amused! And now I am pondering Aslan.
