call me terminally academia-brained but i do think a lot of the fun of character analysis is figuring out how to build a compelling argument for a particular reading using lines of evidence from canon as well as meta/intertextual support

[clementine-kesh]

and you could say that what i’m saying here is basically “a lot of the fun of doing character analysis is doing character analysis” but let’s be real a lot of fandom character analysis is pretty heavily vibes-based. and i think that’s where i really chafe up against the traditional thought-terminating fandom attitude of like, everyone’s opinions hold equal weight and any interrogation of that is inherently hostile. because i think it’s fascinating to dig into where others are coming from in terms of their views on characters or dynamics or whatever, especially when they differ significantly from more commonly expressed views, and part of that digging is asking people okay what parts of canon are you drawing from to support your opinion? what parts of canon are you disregarding or downplaying? how does this argument hold up in the light of how race, gender, class, ability, etc. operate both in the piece’s in-fiction and real world contexts?

re-watching the original trilogy is great because you really get a sense for how weird luke skywalker is, just how quickly he becomes that weird AND how quickly he commits to it. Like he's honestly pretty chill in a new hope, but the absolute INSTANT he figures out he can move shit with his mind he goes full send on the cryptic off-putting bullshit. Walking around in full black robes, speaking in riddles, aura farming and backflipping whenever physically possible. He's clearly annoyed when he first meets yoda in empire, but he dismisses that pretty quickly in favour of ALSO becoming an over-dramatic space wizard. The combination of his two teachers being yoda and obi-wan kenobi and him being the son of anakin and padme creates the single most intense and fundamentally kind force sensitive perfectly embodying the heart of the jedi order whilst also serving egregious amounts of cunt and being bizarre to be around. He would have THRIVED as a jedi master during the high republic. he would have been every padawan's favourite and every other master's worst nightmare

rip locke lamora you would've loved making uno needlessly complicated and then cheating anyway

[writingmia]

here is me convincing all of tumblr to read the lies of locke lamora (especially everyone who follows me for cosmere content):

four grown men with a weird family but also slightly queer dynamic raising a child to be a thief like them while simultaneously pulling the most ridiculous extravagant heist they could come up with. the leader of the group, a theatre kid who chooses to use his talent and dramatics for evil, is the main character who gets his ass handed to him in every fight and is still painfully likeable because of his scheming abilities. his best friend is the big soft giant with glasses who is also the most dangerous motherfucker you will ever come across. there's twins who are sexy and funny and the best twins ever written. simultaneously to their extravagant plan going to absolute shit because of a magician with a bird fetish, we get flashbacks to those four being the most chaotic children known to mankind while being raised to be the perfect gentlemen (bastards) by a man who will give people even without father issues whiplash because of how good his parenting is. all the while, the book is written in the best prose i have read while using the most creative insults anyone has ever come up with, and the humour is beyond brilliant.

I’m about 60 pages away from finishing The Lies of Locke Lamora, greatly enjoying it, and one thing that’s interesting to me about it is how much of a traditional male power fantasy Locke isn’t.

Is he big, buff, and dashingly handsome? No he’s described in the books as being medium in every sense of the word. Medium height, medium build, and a plain, unremarkable face. Which is great for his con artist purposes but doesn’t make him a mega chad.

Well then he must be a great fighter, right? Nope! He is known for being the worst fighter on his team. Even his mentor tells him the only way he’ll ever win a fight is if he stabs someone in the kidneys from behind before they even know he’s there. In fact, he gets the shit kicked out of him regularly in the book.

He must be a mega genius, then, right? He is intelligent, I’ll grant that. His defining character trait is being able to come up with clever plans. But he uses this intelligence to pull off bugs bunny shenanigans that often involve him groveling, glazing, and making a pathetic spectacle of himself to get what he wants.

So what are Locke’s strengths? Well, he’s a natural born theater kid, through and through. He lives for the drama. When pulling off his clever plans, he chooses to be the one putting on costumes and make up and fawning over the rich people he’s trying to defraud.

He’s clever, as already stated, great at improve, can think on his feet, and not above pulling some desperate moves to get out of scrapes. His endurance score is pretty high and he doesn’t give up easily. He’s also got a twisted sense of honor that mostly involves loyalty to the people he cares about. And, despite his lack of power, he will declare his vengeance when he and his friends are betrayed, and he makes you believe he’s going to get it.
