Soooooooooooooooo. I feel like a lot of times when we post on here it's something serious, or someone left, someone arrived, you get it. And honestly, I've got no problem with that cause it makes sense! But how about some more icebreakers?

FanPort got me thinking cause obviously all the locals are crazy about superheroes, and even non-superheroes, but what about you guys? If you come from a world with superheroes like me, you've got a pretty good head start on everyone else. Still, everyone's probably got some kind of hero, right?

And now I'm sure you're wondering, "Stephanie, who is your favorite superhero?"

Well, drumroll please...

[The drumroll is so she can think of a good answer. It's not working.]

Uh. I had a poster of Superboy when I was in high school. Wait, is Superboy here? I just realized how weird this could potentially get...

Not so much with the Jedi.

There is a great deal of respect between Padawan and Master. ... Usually. Ideally.

[He is thinking about Anakin now.]

There is a bond between master and apprentice, and not just in the figurative sense. They are supposed to think and act as one. And I was... a rather rebellious child and a late bloomer. There was a point where it seemed I might be reassigned, but we eventually clicked.

No offense since I'm not from your world, but that sounds kinda silly. I mean, acting as one is cool and all, but expecting a kid to never be a little disrespectful or rebellious? Literally every kid goes through that. You could be paired up with the person you admire most in the world, and still disagree!

[Like Batman. Batman could fire you for breaking just one of his many, many rules..]

Oh don't get me wrong, it's expected to some degree. But well, sometimes padawans and masters are not compatible.

Oh. Okay. Sorry, like I said... don't know your world and all. I guess that makes sense, but I also feel like it's the sort of thing where you can't decide too quickly. Like you said too! You ended up being a great fit for your master, right? Even if it was hard at first?

Oh, certainly not. I had been with Qui-Gon for... 3 or 4 years by that point.

I was bitter and resented him because I didn't think he was teaching me the way I thought I needed to be taught. While my friends were out having adventures with their masters, I was thrust into the library often and was only being taught basic lightsaber techniques. I was frustrated.

It wasn't until a certain mission that I finally started to apply what he was trying to teach me, and came to realize how important those lessons were. He was trying to make me into the best Jedi he thought I could be. I just didn't see it until then.
