Looking for a beta

FOR PROOF READING, I've got an epic (as in proportion, probs not in how good it actually will be) fanfic I have just started writing - it's a GoT Sansa-centric one and I just need someone to beta it. Won't be completed for a very long while, but I will be uploading chapter by chapter on Ao3.

What Vader's mask being split in half really means...

I have seen this idea being mentioned in various ways in past few hours since the final episode was released, but never in as a fully formed thought.

Essentially I wanted to point out and appreciate the slicing of Vader's mask, both by Obi-Wan and by Ahsoka. It's interesting to see the parallel of this part of their respective fights, the fight's as a whole reflect each other in many ways as I'm sure many of you know. But nothing is so visually explicit as the mask breaking moment. Symbolically, we can read this as both Obi-Wan and Ahsoka reaching out to Anakin and literally and figuratively cracking Vader's visage in the process; however, they break the opposite sides (Obi-Wan left, Ahsoka right). This can be read as them reaching out to different parts of Anakin. For Obi-Wan Anakin was a brother, a son and a pupil (as well as a friend); for Ahsoka he was also a brother, but also her mentor and confidant. BUT what is perhaps the most important takeaway from this is the fact that while these two can fracture Darth Vader and reach out to Anakin, maybe even plant seeds of doubt or create connection momentarily, they cannot and will never be able to bring him back. That is Luke's destiny. But also it is Anakin's. It is his job to find himself again, to bring balance to the force, through the aid of his son. At the end of Return of the Jedi, it is Luke that can finally take off Vader's mask. But it is at the behest of Anakin that he does so.

Thank you for coming to my Ted talk.

okay but...

...i need to see harley quinn do a fight routine where we see from her perspective as a gymnastic performer - she ‘performs’ around her enemies with a red ribbon, doing all sorts of flips and tricks as the ribbon gets tossed in the air and draped around their throats - at the end we see it from our own perspective with her covered in blood with a knife in her hand, breathless and smiling from her flawless performance while her enemies lay lifeless on the ground covered and surrounded in blood
