More or less this is always me because , while I can go for dinner or have cake on my b day, I could never actually have a party with friends since it’s on December 28th, which is sandwiched between Christmas and New years. Also, the presents thing is kinda weird because, you know, Christmas and my birthday are close together….. also existential dread because ✨depresso espresso✨
OH MY GOODNESS MY BELOVEDS
I do wish we could make it a little more socially acceptable to wander the streets at night weeping inconsolably I feel like that would have a great catharsis factor for a lot of people
Soooo…. La llorona?

Katniss: Stop doing that.
Peeta: Stop doing what?
Katniss: Saying things that make me wanna kiss the hell out of you.
Hello please reblog this if you’re okay with people sending you random asks to get to know you better
Sometimes when I think about these images, about Ezra’s high key instinct to protect Sabine when it came to her family and the Darksaber and Mandalore, I head canon that that’s the reason he gave her his lightsaber. And his home.
Not just because he trusted her to protect them.
But also because he wanted them to protect her.
Because he knew. He knew something bad was coming. Perhaps he knew that no matter what path won out, Mandalore would always fall.
Sabine even said that nothing but grief had come to her family through the Darksaber.
And Ezra knew that he couldn’t stay and she couldn’t go, that he wouldn’t be there beside Sabine when it happened. So Ezra did the only thing he could do to protect her if she wanted him to.
He left pieces of himself behind.
And then when I think about that, those weren’t just pieces of Ezra. Being a Jedi and Lothal were two of the three the most important things to him. They were all of him actually. His whole life.
So he gave them to her. Because she was that secret third thing.
By giving both Lothal and his lightsaber to Sabine, Ezra effectively laid down his life to protect her in his absence. He went weaponless and alone into the unknown, leaving Lothal to her care, so that when the worst happened, Sabine would have a way to fight or fly. Both a sword and a shield. She would have a home when there wasn’t one to go back to. He basically pledged that, no matter what she chose, he would serve her until her song was written, even when he was marching far away. And I love that about him.
Something that is so, so relatable to me about Sabine is that she’s the first-born daughter, straight-A student, high achiever, carrier of her parents’ and culture’s expectations. I was thinking about this when I noticed that, within the first five minutes of reuniting with each of her parents, after she’s been gone for years and possibly presumed dead, they both let her know that she hasn’t measured up to their expectations. She’s not the warrior her mother wanted, and her father critiques her art.
Which reminded me of Bo-Katan’s: “A Mandalorian with a Jetpack is a weapon.”
It made me wonder if this is how Mandalorians evaluate their people, their families. That you’re only as worthy of love as you measure up to a certain standard or ideal. Your usefulness, your skill, your success, your House and Clan. Loved for what you are and what you contribute instead of who you are.
I think Sabine had always existed as a What, rather than a Who.
And it finally solved for me something I’d been stuck on. I knew exactly how Sabine found Ezra and fixed his being lost, but what I couldn’t pin down was exactly how Ezra healed a broken Sabine.
It reminded me of this explanation about Padme and Anakin: Padme indulged in Anakin because, ever since she was a child queen, he was the only one who ever wanted just her. Not the Queen or the Senator. Just Padme.
I think, similarly, in her whole life up to that point, no one had ever formed a relationship with Sabine just for her. For who she was. Without some kind of expectation of something from her for her intellect, skills, talent, or information.
Her parents and people, the Empire, Ketsu, even Kanan and Hera to some extent, form relationships with Sabine based on What.
Only Ezra pursues the Who.
“Sabine. My name is Sabine.”
And even she doesn’t really know who she is yet when she meets him, but they go on this journey together. They figure out who they are and the kind of people they want to be. Together.
“Happy Birthday, Ezra Bridger.”
Sabine learns how to be a Who with and because of Ezra. It’s a reciprocal, complementary relationship. She finds him, sees him, encourages him to become so much more than he believes he could be. He’s too much Who and not enough What.
She’s too much What and not enough Who. Ezra heals her brokenness by seeing beyond the What.
To him, she’s more than just the sum total of her abilities and accomplishments. She’s not someone to be evaluated, to be accepted or dismissed based on her success or failure. He reassures her that she’s more than all of the labels she’s been assigned and holds on to herself.
To Ezra, she’s not just Clan Wren, House Viszla. Her mother’s warrior or her father’s prodigy. She’s not the abomination of the Duchess, an Imperial Traitor, a Traitor to Mandalore, or a failed bounty hunter. She’s not a translator, a weapons expert, an artist, a tech or a Rebel. She’s not even Spectre 5.
She’s Sabine.

Thoughts on Rebels & The Magician’s Nephew
I just…just look… 😔
Just like Polly does for Digory, Sabine allows Ezra to make his choice.
“Hera, we have to trust him.”
(Just FYI: Fledge is a Pegasus - a creature of flight from Greek mythology- who carried Polly and Digory on their journey in order to complete Digory’s mission. Yep.)

Ursa: Don’t even think about it, young lady.
Sabine: Don’t think about what?
Ursa: I’ve noticed you and the Jedi boy making eyes at each other——and I expressly forbid you from engaging in any sort of romance with him, up to and including matrimony and procreation.
Sabine: What?! You can’t ‘forbid’ me from doing anything, Mom! If I want to be with Ezra, there’s nothing you can do to stop me!
[later]
Alrich: You do realize that telling our rebellious contrarian daughter *not* to do something is the fastest way of encouraging her to do it?
Ursa: It’s called reverse psychology, dear, and no one is more susceptible to it than Sabine. The sooner we have a cadre of unstoppable Force-wielding grandchildren, the sooner Clan Wren can seize the throne of Mandalore and install a new dynasty to last a thousand years!
Alrich: ...
Alrich: Well, as long as they have time outside their grandmother’s scheming to learn how to paint.
the lotr movies got eowyn wrong. yes the fighting was cool. "i am no man" scene was badass. but the point of eowyn is not "woman wants to fight, isn't allowed to, eventually gets to fight and that's her happy ending."
the point of eowyn is "woman is depressed, wants to be free/respected/seen/known/loved, is put in a (metaphorical) box with the other women, wants to fight bc it will bring her either Respect or Death."
she kills the dang Witch King. she fights and wins and it's awesome and satisfying. but fighting is NOT her happy ending. it's her sad ending. she ends up wounded and broken, like everyone else in this stupid WWI-trauma story. Like Frodo. Like Faramir.
I cannot emphasize enough that Faramir meets her AFTER she is UNABLE to fight (the only thing she thought gave her value and honor) and STILL admires and respects and loves her. Eowyn is more than a fighter. Eowyn is more than what she does. And for someone like me who's disabled from doing a lot of things that society expects of me, that means a lot.
i love making friends in fandom, i love playing with our toys together, i love coming up with increasingly niche aus, i love lifting strangers up, i love motivating people to create, i love watching someone get excited over an idea and immediately running with it, i love yelling in tags together, i love seeing someone gain confidence in their writing/art because people were kind to them <33
