star wars: the rise and fall of darth vader

THE FACT THAT TARKIN IS SO BATSHIT EVEN VADER THINKS HE'S FUCKING CRAZY IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT EVER - "vader had long suspected that grand moff tarkin was insane" LITERALLY SHUT UP

The fact that Vader is the voice of reason here is fucking bananas. How batshit you have to be to have Darth “You know what will solve this problem? Child murder ” Vader go “this guys nuts.”

Going to the tidewater peninsulas like northern and middle neck is crazy because it’s like. Oh this is the birthplace of the deep ancestral evil festering at the root of everything it is right here. Colonialism, slavery, genocide, the nexus of capital and blood at the heart of America. But it’s also almost all gone both in material and popular memory.

So many American historical figures were born there and all made themselves by leaving. Tobacco turned the soil to sand and the blood money got drank up or migrated down the river over the years and a lot of the buildings have rotted away or got burned out in the war (Bacon’s, Revolutionary, Civil) and the islands are slowly sinking into the bay. Ozymandias. It’s quiet there now. Flat and greener than green in the summer. The river yawns open. Not much left but the evil. Alternating English aristocratic and indigenous place names. Water in the air, blood in the dirt. Being there feels different.

and the southern peninsula has that field of rotting 10-foot tall president head sculptures. a little on-the-nose if you ask me but no one did

Me, who has not been able to forget the line from Macbeth "Tell thee Macduff was from his mother’s womb untimely ripped." since I first read it in Gr. 11, comforting someone who just had an emergency C-section: I hope you have a smooth recovery... have you considered that your daughter could kill Macbeth?

Eragon, I don’t know you’re surprised about your sword bursting into flames. You unnecessarily light your weapons on fire all the fucking time. The urgals have been calling you Firesword for months

americans are a saudi oil baron's idea of classy. brits are an american's idea of classy. the french are a brit's idea of classy. unfortunately the chain ends here since the french's idea of classy is also the french

Eragon was angry with Roran's decision to leave Carvahall for a few months and he tried to convince Roran to stay (even saying that Garrow would disapprove his choice, in reality Garrow didn't even mind)

Similar thing happens, when Murtagh tries to leave before they reach Varden and Eragon refuses to let him go (trying to find reasons why Murtagh should follow him)

And Saphira instantly understands what is Eragon feeling, because she remembers how much it hurt him when Roran had planned to leave
