I What - Tumblr Posts
Fanfiction conveniently exists for writing "that other story/ending/setting" you'd like to see happen, or are curious how the scenario would turn out if you tweaked a detail... or three... or all of it and dive hard into AU lands...
Remembering that the "original canon story" is someone elses' story baby they all worked hard to make, and it's cool they get to share it with us, I think helps a lot.
I really only scream in a fandom if the screen-writing took some really terrible turn like, didn't even make *sense* or something. And that's critique on the skill of storytelling itself, rather than a hate for the story. Rip my heart out and throw it on the theatre floor with heartbreaking feels, sure; a story making me feel so strongly is a mark of skilled storytelling.
Make me frustrated because the writing itself didn't make sense and broke immersion of said story, and you'll probably never get me out of the realm of fanfiction for that show again.

Please reblog if you're here for the story.
I watch The Bad Batch as an exploration of the beginning of the Empire from the perspective of a group of fugitives trying to get by in a galaxy that doesn't always make sense.
I'm here for their story.
I'm here for WHATEVER the writers, artists, and composers give us in their own good time. I want the plot to be given to me slowly. I want a character's redemption or further fall to have so much meat to it that I sit back and think, "Wow. They went through hell to get here."
I want to find out what makes the characters tick one morsel at a time, and I'm NOT going to complain about where the writers take them if it's not what I envisioned for them because it's the story.
Honestly, I'm finding this fandom to be a tedious place lately. A lot of people only seem to enjoy the show if they are given exactly what they want by the writers and the moment the show deviates from that, they complain.
I'm here for the story. Please reblog this or leave me a comment if you are too because I want to surround myself with other fans who are here for the Batch's story in whatever direction it takes us.

Saw someone making a joke about how Odysseus confronting the suitors happens when he’s naked and no hate for the joke I get that a lot of people think public nudity is funny but like… that part of the story is really important to me.
This is a man that has been on a journey and fucked over and changed and played with by fate for years to the point where he is almost forced to strip his identity and rebuild it for survival. When he returns to his Home Land yes he is wearing a disguise but he was also the one raining king of Ithaca. No one recognized his face, his voice, the only one to truly recognize him was his neglected and dying dog. When he reveals his true self he literally has to strip himself bare before any one realizes.
The idea of the thing that kept you alive and kept you fighting being the same thing that makes it easier to strip your core beliefs and personality bare and rebuild yourself into something not even you can recognize in the end is really impactful for me.
