And the tragedy of it is that Maul really did love having allies.

And he really did fight well with them.

And he really did respect them and want them all to escape.

And he let them go first while he held the line.

And he really did want them to listen so they could win (the only way Maul knew how).

And he may not have been right. But he also wasn't wrong.

And in the end, when he was torn between fighting with Daki and saving Devon, and he knew they were losing, and he knew all of them together couldn't defeat Vader, and he chooses Devon...

It's a betrayal, yes. He chose Devon not only because it was a fight he could win but also because he wanted her, wanted her master dead, and knew he could use it to turn her.

But honestly? If they'd had a moment to think, talk, plan, if they'd thought to discuss it beforehand instead of assuming they could win...

I think Daki would have agreed.

Someone needed to hold Vader back for the others to escape. It was a Crimson Dawn ship there for Maul, specifically - who knew what they'd have done with the others if Maul hadn't made it. Maul had to be on it. None of the others could have held off a Sith Lord long enough. And what Jedi Master wouldn't sacrifice himself for the lives of others?

Maul turned that moment into a betrayal. Instead of working with Daki until they came to the same conclusion, exhausted all other possibilities, and gave Daki his heroic death saving his padawan and the other innocents, Maul took away that choice. He left Daki alone, confused, betrayed and lost.

Just like Maul was.

If anything were to kill V1 in Ultrakill, his death would either be very anticlimactic or the funniest shit ever. No in-between. Reason being that V1 moves at mach fuck at ALL times, so depending on how he is killed, he'll either stop entirely and tip over or get knocked over and slam into a wall.

This is why i think that killing V1 would probably garner no satisfaction for the entity that killed him. Gabriel or a Power wouldn't be able to do a grandeur speech about how they bested yet another mere object because V1 would have probably slammed into a wall

Watching tng really reinforces just how obsessive and codependant the tos triunvirate is. Picard and beverly clearly have history, but unless she has business there, she's never on the bridge, and riker never beams down with picard, is always one or the other on the bridge. Even deanna, despite being picard's other support, does her thing. Meanwhile, jim was dragging bones and spock, the two most senior officers after him and scotty, on every new, unknown and potentially dangerous planet. Like, we been knew but it's fun to have the confirmation

Had a lovely night’s rest and I can confirm:

Hori refusing to explicitly confirm iz////ch but then turning around and saying “oh but remember that darkness kid and the mushroom girl? Yeah they’re totally 100% a thing” is still just as hilarious as it was yesterday

anyways in these times i would like to warn you all that saying “[insert ship here] shippers should die” or claiming they’re ALL (not some, all) bigoted in some way can be a trigger for people with moral ocd who ship said ship

I desperately need disposable income so I can commission art of Theresis with little Amiya because IS5 ending 2 haunts my life

//I'm seeing a rise in Pavlova x Sugarfly so I feel the need to say that if I ever do an analysis on them, I'm going to view it from the lense of either platonic or implied romantic feelings on Pavlova's side.

Ik that it's the Eros and Psyche myth, but it still makes me really uncomfortable for their to be mutual romantic feelings for a child and adult character. Yes, I know that there are theories that Pavlova's always been an adult, but right now, those are THEORIES. And even then, from what we know now, Sugarfly has only known Pavlova when he looked and acted like a child.

Please don't come for me. I'm not saying to stop shipping them if you like it (it's fiction). I'm just saying that it makes me really uncomfortable, so please don't ask me to do any analysis post or honestly any post with there being a mutual attraction between the two, bcuz it makes me extremely uncomfortable. And please keep any comments that involve shipping them out of my replies or reblogs in future posts please :)
