    jernau gurgeh from the player of games is literally the greatest game player in the culture and better at azad than some people who has been playing it all their lives, but that doesn't make him a sue either. 'cause, well, he needs to be that good for the plot to happen and being that good doesn't stop him from getting hurt or making mistakes or going through emotional turmoil.

    and i, myself, personally play norm the genie in the weirdmaggedon tango and he's pretty powerful and could be a sue if i got too enamoured with his phenomenal cosmic power and cT didn't also try to restrict what he can do. as it is, though, he experiences conflict and makes mistakes and goes through emotional turmoil and his powers don't solve the entire plot. thus, though he could be a sue, i think that has been mostly avoided.

    The prequels, however godawful the dialogue and characterization might have been, massively expanded the world of Star Wars, and anything you want to say about anything before ANH requires that you accept a whole lot of things the prequels introduced. I think it's reasonable to say "I think this thing from the prequels was stupid and I choose to ignore it," but that's not something to take to a canon fight, and if you try to say "WELL EVERYONE SHOULD IGNORE IT BECAUSE IT'S FROM THE PREQUELS" then you better not have an opinion on the structure or behavior of the Jedi Order.

    As I said, entirely fuck that noise. And especially from the sorts who refuse to accept anything Disney puts out as really real Star Wars. The prequels were George Lucas's babies, that's fucking peak really real Star Wars. Star Wars ain't just the stuff you goddamned personally approve of, it's all the other fucking bullshit too.

    Or if you want to pick and choose what you acknowledge because you think large parts of it are garbage, then just do that and admit you're doing that and don't be a jerk to people who like other bits.

    Ed gee is the best student at hogwarts. Maybe that's why no one understands him. He used to be fang, a doggo. (If you don't laugh at this joak then you're not ready to become part of my potatoe rawrmy xD).
    Ed gee hates everyone. (He hates everyone because their not like my potota rawrmy xD). He puts in his incredibly expensive beats black like his sol in his illuminated elvish ears and crys while drowning out the plebs with his favourite band evanescence. Hes spunky and miserable and the hottest guy in school ❤️❤️.

    What happens when you lock students in a dining hall for multiple hours.

    Literal pet peeve: YOI Badfic Friend is perpetually annoyed at fanfic writers forgetting the dogs. Despite the fact that the main two being enormously soppy dog people is a major driving plot force in canon on several occasions.

    Hey, fandom? When the source material gives you a character who is canonically hypersexual due to trauma, turning around and writing that character as the archetypal fragile victim who is terrified of sex and has massive freakouts if touched sexually…is not a good look on a number of levels.
