which means that when he was choosing his super scary Dark Lord name, he just mashed up the surnames of the most positive figures in his life. poor sod can’t even evil right
literally a ‘what is your star wars name’ meme
2nd two letters of your mother’s last name Last two letters of your father’s last name
1st three letters of your name but with an R
Urbs Ray
which sounds like a nickname for a space drug dealer tbh
Roxanne, securely restrained, watches as Megamind places each of the objects he intends to use in a neat line on the metal table. He looks up at her with a wicked smirk and her breathing picks up. He must notice her reaction, because his smile widens.
“Why don’t you tell me the location of the Rebel base now, Commander Ritchi?” he asks, voice smooth and persuasive. “You know you will, sooner or later.”
Roxanne raises her chin.
“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” she says.
He raises an eyebrow.
“Oh?” he says. “So unfortunate. It would have been easier for you if you had cooperated, Commander.”
“Easier for you, maybe,” Roxanne says.
His grin turns sharp and he picks up the first of the objects.
“Oh, yes, easier for me as well,” he says. “But much less fun. And I have confidence that I can make you talk in the end.”
Roxanne writhes in near-ecstasy, tugging uselessly at her restraints. So close, so very close–almost–
Megamind, evidently seeing the signs of her impending climax, lowers the setting on the toy he’s using. Roxanne gives a little scream of frustration and he laughs, damn him.
“Tell me the location, Commander Ritchi,” he says.
Roxanne curses at him fluently.
“Aren’t you ready for your torture to be over, Commander?” he asks. “All you have to do is tell me.”
“I–I–”
Panting, Roxanne gazes up at Megamind–who’s looking very hot and flustered, his face flushed and the collar of his Imperial uniform slightly loosened. She licks her lips and his eyes follow the movement.
“–let me go,” she says.
Megamind blinks, surprised–not by the words, but by the tone of confidence, she thinks.
She licks her lips again, tilts her head, arching her neck. Megamind’s eyes track that moment as well, before snapping up to hers again.
Roxanne smiles at him, slow and deliberate.
“Let me escape,” she says, “and the two of us can go there together.”
Megamind’s eyes widen.
After an exciting escape which involves Roxanne convincing Megamind to defect to the Rebellion, the two of them ‘stealing’ weapons then running and hiding all throughout the Lair from imaginary Imperial troops, commandeering a ‘spaceship’, battling their way through an attack by Imperial starfighters, and finally arriving safely at the Rebel base, Roxanne admits to herself that perhaps that roleplay session got a little bit away from them.
But neither of them mind, so it doesn’t really matter.
YES. THAT. that’s exactly what I was thinking of! also dealing with the idea of a young, brilliant, talented anakin skywalker but with JEJ’s childhood stammer? also he had a totally shaved head at one point for a role (I can’t remember which) and it’s the most Vader-unmasked thing I’ve ever seen???
Yes excellent.
And Padme remembers Anakin as this adorable genius little kid with the stutter, and then ten years later he shows up looking Like That and with That Voice and it’s pretty much over for her.
Also consider: post-ROTJ AU where Anakin survives:
(with a few more scars, of course, but you’re right that this is peak unmasked Vader)
People who guested on Sesame Street or The Muppet Show often mentioned this phenomenon in interviews.
I’m reminded of a possibly apocryphal story where a talk show was doing a Kermit the Frog guest spot, and the sound technicians couldn’t figure out why the audio pickup was so terrible – until they realised that they’d unthinkingly attached the wireless mic to the puppet rather than the voice actor.
i’m in the middle of re-watching the original sw trilogy and hands down the best thing about esb is leia and han experiencing the same feelings for eachother but at totally different speeds.
leia, processing emotions at a reasonable pace: i think i like him
han, that same afternoon: dead diary i have accepted that she hates me but instead of dealing with the heartache like a mature adult i’m gonna catch a big-ass attitude and insist on returning to a life of crime where i don’t have to worry about dumb things like being in love.
leia: you’re quite nice when you aren’t being such a scoundrel
han, vibrating with the effort to keep from launching himself vertically into the vacuum of space: s c o und rel
leia: i love you
han, making a mental note to start practicing his brand new ‘mr. organa’ signature the second he’s out of the carbonite: i know
on the other hand remember how in rotj he decided to slow down on making unfounded assumptions about leia’s interest in him and accidentally slowed all the way down?
han: so um, i think it’s really cool that you love luke, you guys are gonna be great together haha guess i’ll see you guys around sometime?!?!?!
leia, already taking her clothes off: god han you’re so fucking stupid
