Casual Enjoyer of Much @kihtakitsune - Tumblr Blog

I don't know how to explain to younger fandom people how important AO3 is. That it's actively one of the "maintaining freedom of expression" pillars we've managed to support as a society.

That fandom and art have always been part of resistance, but when Russian resistors and queer activists were engaging with it on LJ in the early-mid 00's, LJ caved to Russian censors and shut down their accounts and purged their writing.

That before it existed every fanfiction posted had a disclaimer that it was not an original work and people still sometimes got sued by an author who didn't like that we wrote their characters as gay.

That much of the first century of modern fanworks has been lost because of the lack of an archive like that. So many queer stories, and stories writing hope and representation we never thought we'd see.

A perfect opportunity to post the little thing that evolved from a tattoo design request I did back in May.

I think about fox and the corries a lot. Something that always strikes me as strange is when people hate him and want him dead.

We see fox for around 4 minutes 30 TOTAL in the show but there are a few things that really stand out to me and something that happens in the comics.

Fox doesn't bend to Anakin at the start until Anakin straight up pulls rank. Should Anakin have gotten in? No. Was he angry and an active threat to Fox's men? Probably. So Fox folds there and lets him in.

When Ahsoka "breaks out" Fox goes for the non-lethal option until she "kills" some clones at which point Anakin has to command Fox and his men not to use lethal force.

It's completely reactionary and with the speed and minimal protest Fox gives it's almost strange. Fox is scared of something but he cares greatly for his brothers.

So the question becomes: what is Fox so scared of?

He was willing to stand up to Anakin as a random commander but not as a Jedi. Does Fox know what damage can be dealt by a lightsaber? Does he think that all force users will kill as they please?

With that fear and that care in mind I ask you to take a look at Fives' death. Fox and company got there when Fives was begging. The were too late to hear the explanation but they heard him plead to be understood.

And what does Fox do?

He stops behind crates for a second when Fives doesn't even know he's there, he asks Fives to not fight back, he does not fire the first shot. He asks Fives more than once to surrender. Fives knew he was dead either way but there was no way for Fox to know that.

Or maybe he did and had a plan.

In the comic we can see the Corries march on the temple and some of them shoot at Vader thinking him to be a Jedi.

Fox pleads their ignorance, Fox pleads for them not to be punished for a mistake they did not make, Fox dies asking leniency for his men.

These are not the actions of a proud man who believes in his cause.

These are the actions of a man who has nothing left and no other actions he can take trying to keep his family alive at any cost but knowing he will never manage it anyway.

So, yeah. I don't understand the hatred for Fox but if you want to tell my your view I will listen anyway

WIP Jayvik painting! Was super inspired at the end of 2024 and wanted to finally paint something again. With any luck I’ll get to work on it again soon!

JAYVIK WORLD DOMINATION

kihtakitsune

Wonderful~

viktors-matching-cane-buddy

as a chronically ill person who is severely impaired by their symptoms, I actually kinda liked the ending scene with jayce calling viktor’s imperfections “beautiful,” which ik has not been a popular opinion in the disabled community

now, before people come at me with pitchforks, I definitely don’t think it was perfect

as people have said, viktor’s illness, rooted from the poor conditions of zaun, was killing him. it wasn’t just an imperfection; it would be the cause of an early death, and was preventable.

and with the way jayce worded it, i could definitely see how it could come off as “no baby girl you’re perfect, don’t worry about your silly life-threatening illness”

however, for me at least, it felt really cathartic to hear jayce acknowledge viktor’s ailments as a testament to his inner strength

it felt nice to hear jayce say viktor was beautiful the way he is. and i think he didn’t mean this in a literal sense of “you shouldn’t worry about your illness because it makes you stronger, and so therefore you’re unique and beautiful,” but more of an “i wouldn’t love you any more or less if you weren’t disabled; your disabilities tested your strength, and I love that your strength shows in spite of it.”

i hope that made sense

but anyways, i just feel like i get more pity than recognition as a disabled person, and I felt seen when he gave viktor that recognition for his determination, rather than pity him for continuing to live with his ailments.

all that being said, i think people’s criticisms towards the scene are just as valid, especially those who are disabled and who felt it promoted a flawed message towards the community. this was just my opinion, and i wanted to share why i actually liked the scene after i saw a lot of people criticizing it
