Cas being the best Dad ever, goddamn it I’m not going to survive

[burst-of-iridescent]

idk man just having a lot of thoughts about how loving katara was aang’s downfall, but zuko’s triumph. how they’re both struck and permanently scarred by azula’s lightning because of their love for her but in aang’s case it’s a tragedy, something that could have been averted if he’d let go of her, whereas in zuko’s case it’s his absolution, the final step in his redemption. how their scars mirror each other, with aang’s scar on his back because he turned his back on his duty to save katara, but zuko’s scar on his chest because saving her was his duty, bringing him back full circle to the heart of who he is - someone who protects the innocent, no matter what the cost. 

in the end, aang’s love for katara dooms him while zuko’s love for katara saves him, and i just think there’s something so beautifully poetic about that. 

[furiosaofscythia]

#something about how zuko’s sacrifice for katara is the pinnacle of his redemption arc #completing his character development and bringing it full circle to how it started #you couldn’t write more interwoven narrative arcs than zuko and katara if you tried #also like the fact that the lightning meant for katara caught zuko in his heart #seriously how do you write all this symbolism by accident i refuse to believe it #anyways this is your daily reminder that zutara should have been canon <3

Watching season 14 and this is my biggest grievance with TV shows where they introduce a certain storyline, establish a certain relationship and then forcefully push the main character into it and make it all about them.

If you were going to create a whole narrative where Castiel first vows to kill Kelly Kline, decides not to at the last moment, begins to care for and protects Kelly and her baby and you have Kelly explicitly say she wants Castiel to raise jack in his image then you HAVE to stick by it in the later seasons.

EVEN if you kill Castiel so you have a reason to keep jack with the winchesters, once he returns you have to respect the narrative you YOURSELF established in the previous season.

You can’t shove Dean in the middle of a father-son relationship that you built between Jack and Cas. It’s okay for supporting characters to have independent storylines. Dean has plenty to do already, not every relationship needs to revolve around him. And I’m saying that as a Dean Girl. It’s embarrassing and almost feels like you’re afraid to give other characters any importance because you’re scared they’ll overshadow your heroes. It’s a disservice to your own characters supporting and mains.

The only show that ever got this dynamic of supporting characters having their own independent relationships among themselves was greys anatomy and that’s why it’s been on air for so long.

We should’ve had more Cas and Jack story withOUT the winchesters and I’ll die on this hill.

I didn’t like the baby reveal ending at first but I started thinking about kleya and suddenly it hits a lot harder and I get it now. it seems a bit cheap on its own maybe, but if you think about the baby as a mirror to kleya it’s really more impactful I feel. we only just found out that luthen and kleya had a father-daughter relationship—that was a baby reveal in its own way—right at the moment of luthen’s death. he really did sacrifice everything (except kleya!) for this rebellion, and he will never see the sunrise, but she will. she’ll know it was all worth it. and she’ll be free. the bix/cassian baby reveal works the same way. right at the moment he’s heading off on the path to his final mission, one that will be instrumental in bringing about that sunrise, one we know he’ll never come back from, we see bix, and their baby, who will not only live to see that sunrise, but will probably not even have any memories of a time before it came. that’s what it’s all for. that’s why all these sacrifices matter. everyone vel and cassian toasted to, and the ones who survived too, like kleya and bix, vel and mon etc. that’s why they’re heroes. so no one else has to be. so others can just live

[silentsafflina]

Further to this, that baby is hope.

I mean, walking through fields of plenty with a baby? If that isn't hope for a better future then I don't know what is. It's symbolism. All of these people sacrificed so that one child can see a sunrise, one child can grow up in safety and never know the suffering of its parents. For Bix, someone who was traumatised by Dedra and almost raped by an officer, who lost friends and loved ones at the hands of the empire, to return to that land with a baby and A NEW HOPE isn't just 'tradwifing' her, it's showing that things can heal.

I don't understand how people saw that scene and just took the absolute worst interpretation out of it.

luthen and cassian burning their life to make a sunrise their children got to see. i’m fine.

[soloorganaas]

kleya and luthen being the centre of the rebellion from the start. they’re each others catalyst, spinning tightly together and gaining energy with each turn. spurring others into action, random moments across the galaxy connected by what luthen and kleya build. the way that kleya’s comms bring luthen to bix to cassian. send vel and cinta off apart and then together. are a voice to the ghormans. get mon from a senate arrest to yavin… and then when everyone’s flown away, when the rebellion has cast luthen aside, it’s kleya’s same old rebellion radio which still reaches cassian. gets the words death star from the isb to the rebel alliance

and kleya is so sure she can’t do this without luthen. all she believes in is her connection to him. until cassian and melshi drag her to yavin and mon wants to know if she’s okay and vel finds her in the forest because she has friends everywhere. she’s the connection between them all. and when kleya wakes up and stands smiling out at the heart of the rebel base realising that even if luthen has burned what they built has lived on… I don’t have lately, I have always. it will always be because of them

[seleneisrising]

Cassian was always leaving Bix, and Bix always stayed. Waiting for him.

“Cassian will find us.” He’ll always come home. He’ll always come back.

Ferrix. Mina-Rau. Coruscant. Yavin.

Cassian did always come back for her. He saved her. He killed for her. He risked their entire clandestine rebellion to put Luthen in his place about contacting her. They quit Luthen’s group over it. Over her.

But those were not always good decisions. Sometimes he was reckless and dangerous for her sake.

Bix was the reason that the Empire came to Ferrix.

So she knew, she knew (and Luthen knew!) that she was Cassian's weakness. That he was attached. To her.

In the arc where they implied that Bix may be Force sensitive, Bix made the Jedi choice and let Cassian go.

It was such a heartbreaking twist that when Cassian was finally ready to stay, finally ready to make a home (or at least he thought he was), Bix had to be stronger. She had to be the one to say no. To something wonderful that she'd been waiting for.

There’s strength in recognizing when a relationship is over. When it's not meant to be. When your paths don’t seem to be traveling in the same direction.

When, to truly love them unselfishly and for their greatest good, you have to let them go.

Bix - who was so broken, who had so many weak moments - was so strong in the end. She was healthy and whole when she left Yavin of her own volition. She had already made her decision by the time Cass came back to her for the last time. And I love that for her. It wasn’t a decision made out of fear or insecurity or desperation, but from a place of peace and love. Ever since Ferrix, Bix had been in a holding pattern, waiting on Cassian, until she finally decided that, for the best of both of them, to accomplish what they both wanted, she had to be the one to move on.

Instead of giving Bix a random death, one that only served to spur Cassian on into his own future, they still moved Cassian on by giving Bix, who had already suffered so much, a future and a hope.

"It's like poetry... It rhymes." 

A man with unbelievable power who became obsessed over the one he loved, unable to let go, started this tyrannical era.

A normal woman lets go of her love, to end it.

Bix Caleen and Cassian did what Anakin and Padme couldn't, star wars...its rhyming again.

[altaire]

I started Andor expecting everyone was going to die. And that was ok, because they took the main point of contention for this show - who cares about a prequel for a character who died in Rogue One? - and turned it on its head. They wield the symbolism like a sword. The main soundtrack is a funeral march. A dead woman speaks from the grave and wishes she'd fought before the end. Everyone here is already dead, fighting for a future they'll never see.

But Bix? Bix is going to live. And somehow that's worse.

She's going to live. She's going to make it home to Ferrix. This show will end with her laying bricks for them all.

Watching your entire society charge into nationalism and authoritarianism

“Pre Vizsla and his men have entered the palace. Should be stop them?” “How can we? The people are on their side now.”

“So this is how liberty dies. With thunderous applause.”

“I believe we are in crisis. The distance between what is said and what is known to be true has become an abyss. Of all the things at risk, the loss of an objective reality is perhaps the most dangerous. The death of truth is the ultimate victory of evil.”

[elektraking]

I read these posts like “oh for the first time MCU is dealing with mental illness” and it makes me feel off but I can’t put my finger on it and then smart people point out all the other times, including the most obvious time, MOON KNIGHT!?!

The bullshit people will say to make this movie better than it is and completely diss anything that came before it, when all they could say is “oh i loved it”. But no, lets shit on everything post Endgame. Let’s make ridiculous blanket statements that can’t possibly be true. Let’s overlook the PCS where those people are wearing Avengers suits and disrespecting Sam Wilson, literally calling him dumb.

Why the fuck isn’t everyone up in arms over this? Oh nvm I know why. Y’all dgaf bc y’all have been waiting for Sam Wilson to be out of the spotlight and delegitimized. It’s so wrong and I am honestly disgusted at how happy people are to not just go along with it, but to pile on by saying the dumbest shit imaginable. Everyone should reject this treatment of a Black character who has consistently gotten hate since the moment he was announced as new Cap. Everyone. Reject and call out this racist dog whistle from Marvel. Or idk i guess descend further into white supremacy.

I’m going to go feral if people pit John/Frannie and Michaela/Frannie against each other SHE IS BI AND LOVES THEM BOTH AND REAL cause like they’re both insanely hot

Leave my girl alone!! Let her be loved by two people!! Her love for both of them is real and I won't accept anything else. Just like in the book. The whole point of her book was she loved both John and Michael. She loved them differently but love them nonetheless. Now that I think of it... Michaela fit her story so well!!! OMFG

We really have to protect them because I can see it clearly the hate they're going to get!! We have to protect both Masali and Victor because 1) Bridgerton fandom is know for being racist 2) and being homophobic!!!

[belles-reads]

Kind of crazy how much you can feel the chemistry between Francesca and John in their first two scenes which is just them being completely silent and barely looking at each other

[glitterfairy-21225]

Francesca Bridgerton really info dumped about her special interest to John Stirling and he said, “I can’t think of anything witty to say in response but I can leave abruptly to give her a grand gesture relating to what she just told me.”

And Francesca really said, “I’m so grateful I literally cannot wait to perform this piece. I’m gonna leave abruptly even though both my suitors are in front of me.”

This is the kind of autistic x autistic relationship I dream about.
