Did You Know That Not Every Villain Needs A Redemption Arc Sometimes People Are Just Bad

Often Characters Commit Irredeemable Atrocities And Should Rightfully Be Vilified And Not Every Show Is Avatar The Last Airbender

I’m also just a fangirl, standing in front of a ship, asking it to be canon.

possibly one of the best jokes in the history of television

[the-far-bright-center]

Nothing frustrates me more than seeing Anakin and Padme (and the Skywalker family in general) constantly referred to as ‘dysfunctional’. 

The reasons for my frustration are twofold:

First of all, a couple or family is not ‘dysfunctional’ if they were never freely ALLOWED to function as a couple or family to begin with. (Not to mention if most of the members of said family never even KNEW they were related until well over halfway through the story!!)

Secondly, I find this interpretation of the Skywalkers to be a very limited and cynical view—one which is all-too often used to dismiss these characters and their relationships (both romantic and familial) in some way as being too ‘problematic’ to be taken seriously….or even to be viewed in a positive light at all. 

All of this seems like yet another result of people forgetting that there is SO much more to a fictional story—and to the relationships presented therein—than just the obvious layer of realism. Do the Skywalkers ‘act’ like an ideal family in our world should act? Well, no. But that is kind of the point. The context of their world never even allowed them the chance to *be* a family in the first place. And not only that, but there are symbolic elements at play here that ought to be taken into consideration before dismissing something just because it does not live up to some real-world social ideal (as tumblr is so wont to do). 

For instance, it is pretty clear that Anakin and Padme are meant to embody the Jungian/alchemical concept of the ‘Union of Opposites’. This ‘opposite’ nature does not mean that Anakin and Padme are somehow inherently incompatible—on the contrary. They are meant to be together. They need each other. On a symbolic level, they each represent two aspects of galactic rule which are *MEANT* to be in balance (the military defense/enforcement side and the democratic, truth-speaking side). Of course, we see that the galaxy as a whole is thrown drastically out of balance by Palpatine’s machinations—Anakin’s fall, along with the Fall of the Republic and the ensuing Dark Times, illustrate the devastating result of this.

It is for this reason that the end of RotJ is so important: by acting in *defense* of his son (aka acting in the manner of protector and defender as he was always supposed to), Anakin returns to his True Self, and brings balance to both the Force as well as to these two long-sundered aspects of the galaxy, and with his dying breath declares that those who love him ‘were RIGHT’ about him. He acknowledges this long-suppressed Truth (’there is good in him, I know, there’s still…’), and in doing so, symbolically joins himself with his beloved Padme once more.

The Union of Opposites is the ideal and intended outcome of the alchemical progression, aka the magnum opus….which is what the PT and OT form together. 

[the-far-bright-center]

#Anidala is a forbidden love story that seemingly ends in tragedy#but which is ultimately redeemed by the result of said forbidden union#aka the love of Luke their son#it’s not just some story about ‘lol two people who couldn’t make it work’#they are not inherently incompatible #nor are they inherently dysfunctional#rather they are torn apart because the GALAXY ITSELF IS BEING TORN APART (x) 

[goingsolo2016-blog]

This in itself illustrates why the ST is so distinct from (and for many of us, discordant with) the PT and OT. These stories were constructed as huge, overarching myths, not serial melodrama. Kill the head and the body will die.

“Ship means something you want to see happen.” Bitch, no it don’t. This weird-ass modern culture of lobbying show-runners to make your ship canon didn’t emerge until the advent of social media. (And recent social media like twitter, not shit-you-forgot-existed like MySpace.) Shipping and fandom in general have been around much longer, so you can stop acting like “this is the way it has always been uwu” right the fuck now.

Until relatively recently, most fans I’ve known have been perfectly okay with their ships never being canon. I, personally, would be actively offended if certain ships of mine became canon. That is not why I ship them. What I want from canon and what I want from fandom are often entirely different things that only intersect on the margins.That is why fanworks are called “transformative” ffs.

[dinovia-grant]

Someone put it into words.

ALL OF THIS.

[onceandfuturekiki]

My ships actually getting together is like a nice bonus. But some idea that they have to be together in canon or even that they should be together in canon is not the reason that I ship.

Get Out + snatching Georgina’s wig

[faptrickstump-blog]

finished watching get out. i so badly wanted rose to be oblivious. not even because i wanted to see one white person who wasnt evil. i just wanted her to be good for chris. like on top of all the trauma he deals with, he also gotta come to terms she basically sexually manipulated him/raped him in order to lure him into the trap. and like...i didnt want chris to have to deal with that on top of everything else.

but it was also nice to see the ending wasnt two lovers scarred by an ordeal and now have to rebuild their life like so many other movies. it was just him and roy who really cared about chris and i feel audiences dont often get to witness a profound friendship between two black men in movies and i just really loved the movie and everything about it

not weird: grown ass adults taking part in fandom culture; roleplaying, drawing fanart, writing fics, sharing theories, shipping, etc

weird: grown ass adults making fandom culture their entire identity and attacking people over shipping wars or conflicting headcanons, generally exhibiting behaviour that is barely acceptable if you’re 15
