Thrawn and Politics
Look, Thrawn is bad at politics. Yes, he’s a genius at military tactics and reading his opponents, but that doesn’t automatically translate to a new field!
For one, his reading of people’s body language is clearly practiced, not natural – in Thrawn (2017), he notes changes in muscle, expression, and body heat before determining emotions; someone who notes this naturally would note the emotion first, and might even struggle to describe how they could tell (much like Thrawn struggles to describe what he sees in art!).
He’s also tactless and blunt – he straight up compares the head of the ISB to his AIDE, mostly unfavorably! He might just want people to improve, but doesn’t seem to notice how his words can come off as condescending or rude.
Most importantly, politics rely on a completely different priority system, one that, honestly? Doesn’t make logical sense. And Thrawn thrives on logic and practicality!
Politicians (especially in the GFFA) are generally known for putting their personal goals first – or at least equal to – the good of the whole. We see this in both the Empire and in the Ascendancy (where they put individual families first). This breeds a network of under-the-table deals, games, and power shifting that Thrawn is completely blind to.
(This got a bit long…)

there's something so compelling about stories where a character's virtues intensify into flaws that lead to their downfall. loyalty and love becoming so all-consuming that compassion outside of them ceases to exist. duty overwhelming any moral compass until order becomes more important than justice. selflessness so intense it becomes self-destruction. let me watch while whatever saved the hero in the beginning destroys them. let me see them fall to their own worst impulses disguised as what once made them good.
omg, I wish !!! Lmao !

iPhone Tumblr users, you can now turn off censoring by deselecting “hide sensitive content”, HOWEVER you need to log into your Tumblr account on a computer to do it, cannot do it from the iPhone app. default setting is censorship… fuck that shit

again with feral thrawn, trying to improve the image quality
Dear Forever! You carried me through the most challenging part of starting to publish in English. You never mocked me or made fun of my weird English. You just silently edited my fics to be readable to others! You put countless hours into that even though you have problems and projects! When I started and needed help - you reached out in under a minute and grabbed my hand. And recently, you gifted me with a naked Thrawn. Ah, I keep opening that image for inspiration 🤭 Thank you for that! I'll be glad about that forever!
I love you, my friend, and I thank you so, so much for your endless and genuine support of me and my projects, and your kindness to everyone ! You are a gift to the world and the most generous heart at the core of our fandom. 🫡
