@fireynovacat
not every mutual fits neatly into an archetypal medievalism but there are some mutuals that im like yeah addressing you as “my liege” would come strangely naturally
what mutual is prev
my liege lord
my loyal knight
my wise wizard
my evil advisor
my brother in arms
my lady muse
my wild mermaid friend
my fellow alchemist
my dashing rapscallion
my monstrous foe
fighting the problematic stereotype of 'only the bad guys are weird sex perverts' by making the good-hearted protagonist an even weirder sex pervert
bro your whimsy. you forgot your fucking whimsy. your solemn and somber attitude is scaring the hoes
Your children's show unfortunately has the absolute wrong take on tackling fascism. Yeah the power of friendship angle is showing a dismal lack of understanding of Marxist theory or even intro-level Leninism. Yeah my only two interests are children's media and online leftist discourse so this is gonna be a problem.
you can always give that character psychosis and a personality disorder
Ugh I'm sooo inactive,,,, look at my kiwi..
Thoughts on Maul shadow lord?
I find Maul overrated and annoying as a character, and I also think it's pretty ridiculous to try to write a midquel story about a character who is narratively incapable of any kind of development in any direction.
In other words, I'm not watching it and I don't have any plans to. Glad the Maul girlies seem happy.
We've seen his beginning, middle and end already.
Exactly. We know that the place he's at by the end of TCW is the same place he's at in Rebels, so even if they give him some kind of development somewhere, it has to be undone in order to keep continuity with his appearance in Rebels. He's a static character, which works... mostly well for his role as a secondary villain who just pops up to cause problems for other characters, or to work as a symbolic darkness that the good guys have to fight against, but it works extremely badly as a protagonist of his own show.
I presume this is why they had to introduce this secondary main character that is the Jedi padawan who's being corrupted, so they actually HAD a character who was capable of being developed in any direction and a story that could actually be told since that wasn't going to happen with Maul. But this is literally a story we've seen happen with Maul like three different times depending on how you count Savage, Ahsoka, and Ezra, so it's not particularly original as a Maul story. And this is not the first "Jedi padawan who gets corrupted after Order 66" story we've gotten, so it's not original in that aspect, either.
I dunno, I just think if they were going to do a Maul story, this seems like the STUPIDEST time period to put it in. I might've been SLIGHTLY interested if it had been set pre-TPM when he's still developing as a Sith Lord and we get more of his relationship with Palpatine and what that looked like. That's a part of Maul's life that we haven't seen before and that hasn't been delved into all that much and is foundational to who he becomes as a person, obviously. Whereas nothing that happens post Order 66 is all that important to his story, and will change nothing about who he is or who he becomes. So I'm not sure why I'm supposed to give a damn.
Honestly it's also because the most developed era is the Empire era pre-Rebellion and while you could possibly use a static character to move the world around them and build the environment, but we KNOW how bad the Empire era is. There isn't much more that can be told about the era and the world without inevitably repeating plot points and we know where all the major players are currently (or there about).
The only way we could have both Maul development and world development (or either really) is to have it be pre TPM.

"Anakin needed therapy."
"Why didn't anyone give Anakin therapy?"
"Anakin fell because he never got any therapy."
Anakin got 13 years of therapy, 10 which were spent with a dedicated therapist solely assigned to helping him manage his emotions and behavior so he could find a healthy path through life. But Anakin believed that he was the one person in the world who didn't need any therapy because he was better than everyone else who needed therapy and they were just jealous that he didn't need therapy when they tried to suggest that maybe he did in fact need therapy like the rest of them.
And then Anakin proceeded to murder all of the therapists and their children and spent at least two more decades continuing to hunt down any surviving therapists and anyone left who had the ability to BECOME a therapist, so while he was no longer receiving therapy at this point, that's pretty exclusively his own fault.
And even if there WERE some therapists still left alive, they weren't exactly jumping to offer him therapy anymore and it's pretty hard to blame them for that after he murdered them all.
So he mostly just ended up super lucky that a few of those surviving therapists ended up training his son to be a therapist and that his son was able to get through to him when no one else could specifically because this time it was his flesh and blood telling him these things and he was more willing to listen to his own flesh and blood.
So, yeah, I don't think the issue is that Anakin didn't get therapy when he needed it. That's a gross misunderstanding of his story and his character.
huh? I’m very confused are you saying the Jedi are therapists?
Also like no I don’t the Jedi can be considered as therapists and Anakin had a unique situation where not only he joined as a child but was a slave the Jedi were really just not equipped to handle that of course this doesn’t mean it’s okay for Anakin to commit a fucking genocide- of course not but I feel calling the Jedi therapist’s is a bit of a stretch
I don't have to defend myself calling the Jedi therapists because the dude who created them has already called them that publicly in an interview he did years ago. So sure, please, go tell George Lucas that calling the Jedi therapists is "a bit of a stretch." I dare you.
But even if that WEREN'T true, you can literally find the Jedi's teachings are things in lists of things real life therapists will tell you to do to be more mentally healthy. Things like mindfulness and non-attachment in particular are 100% ALREADY IN THERAPY and they are the two things the Jedi tend to discuss the most in films.
None of what I said was confusing, I think I made it EXTREMELY clear, you just don't agree with it or like it very much, but everything I said is completely in line with Lucas's own understanding and intention about the Jedi and their relationship with Anakin. If you don't like that, that's not my problem. Go take it up with George Lucas.
Also Anakin is far from the only Jedi who used to be a slave. It's surprisingly common

ngl if you're doing the whole Blogging thing right you shouldn't need to put your disorders in your bio bc your followers will just figure it out on their own. it's kind of a "show don't tell" type of thing
ANYWAYS I am so sorry to everyone who's now forcibly learning about the attempted murderer (/srs) that's been stalking my friend group for years. Usually I just draw him pregnant and he leaves me alone for a while, but man. I'm really not feeling it today.
God not this guy again
