Sauron's *sort of* goodbye to Celebrimbor.

I have amazing news! I have finished writing Viatica! 🥳😱

Caveat… I still have to edit, code, and test it, but the core writing of the story itself is complete. It’s a little bittersweet to finally be done, but I’m excited to present my story in a complete form. I’m aiming for a publish date of December 24th. Setting a hard and fast date will force me to get it done, but also, my husband has promised to buy me DA4 for Christmas so I’m going to need some gaming time, lol.

The finish line is in sight! Eek!

Appreciation post for one of my favorite endings

One of the only show endings that I was genuinely happy with. As bittersweet and devastating as it was, it held depth, meaning, love and hope. It finished off the character arcs wonderfully, fulfilling the show's entire lead up to this point.

People tend to get reduced to someone force sensitive in order to mean something (Rip Finn), but i love how the entire Ghost Crew has meaning, has depth, know what life is about. (Which is why I was mad they made Sabine force sensitive.)(also Ezra and Sabine's friendship means so much to me, both learning about each other's different cultures and holding fast to what is good in it).

Also, found family is my jam, and I love Star Wars: Rebels for embodying it. The final interactions between everyone was done so well.

And the whole theme of love going on. Ugh. So good. Love for your dead parents (sorry), loving an enemy turned ally, loving a pirate who has shown no reason you should trust him but ends up pulling through in the end bc you love, loving your mentor slash father figure, and mentor in turn loving mentee like a son. Romantic love, love between friends, and brotherly love, sisterly love. Knowing that loving someone means you'll tell them when they're wrong and being there to drag them back to the light, it means taking risks and it means sitting patiently in the midst of a storm of uncertainty, it means standing by someone and knowing if they fall, you will be trying to pull them back up, always reaching out a hand. I will always remember this one line that Ezra says to Kanan, thanking him for not just teaching him to be a Jedi, but to be a good person.

This all leads to the final point, the final sacrifice, after all the other sacrifices. Knowing there might be more strife to come, but you are at peace bc you have hope and you have fought for what is good and right and sacrificed your life for it in selflessness, but not your morality and others in selfishness. Having faith in what is good and guiding them to hope as you leave them behind in an act of love.

Love it, love them.

Not all texts conclude. Some meander through a range of perspectives, each providing a different way of looking at a question. Others tend to orbit a particular idea or theme, exploring it carefully through repeated revolutions without ever quite landing on it.

There are also texts that seem built to conclude, as though they were machines designed to carry us to a specific endpoint, without fail. Through the application of weighty evidence and rigorous argument, these texts demand agreement with their conclusions.

While reading such a text, we occasionally realize that the machine is not as well-built as it ought to be. There is a flaw in the argument that causes us to resist the conclusion. Or there is something missing, a gap that has not been properly filled, so the text cannot transport us to its final destination.
