Your ears have betrayed you, Lars Mikkelsen
Thrawn: I have a tragic backstory, I'm obviously queer in some way, and I have no regard for my personal safety. Time for me to accept that I am evil.
Eli: Hey! I made some tea, do you want some?
Thrawn, voice cracking: I would love some–

I have so many things to say about Thrawn and Gideon and culture and art and appreciation and imperialism and appropriation and so much else but I’ll leave it at this tonight because my tumble is fucky and I don’t know how to phrase it at four am.
They are setting up Gideon to be inherently weaker then Thrawn because Thrawn engages with the cultures he uses to destroy his enemies and Gideon simply takes what looks useful to him. This is really interesting and I can’t wait to see how it plays out (Gideon gets fucking schooled)
(225): I am drunk shake weighting right now.
Truth all✨✨✨
now that i am reading the thrawn: ascendancy books and seeing how fucking similar thrawn and eli are in some aspects - like scenes that are nearly mirrored down to the word - i love the thought of eli thinking he and thrawn have nothing in common, or that he could never be like him, bc he always just sees himself running after thrawn, just to come to the ascendancy and have everyone he meets be like “oh my fucking god there are two of you fuckers”
