When you tell stories on social media, pics are 1000 words. Just when you think plots should never happen, you see a pic and you know that’s how the plot should go…that’s how the story should go. It happened. It works. Maybe, that’s the way it should be?
For example: @kobadit‘s artwork of a gray-side hair Thrawn in a FO uniform. It works. It’s like it happened. You can tell as a Thrawn fan and a reader that it is a plausible story arc. It suspends disbelief for a fictional character. No matter how anyone draws an aging Thrawn, this is what we fans will imagine when we think of an aging Thrawn… Just how it is, sometimes.
We have another pic. When we give a historical context to support the rationale of the image, this pic already looks good. Which means it is plausible in the suspension of disbelief to move the plot in a given story. Just how it it, sometimes.
