it's extremely critical that you see the photo of the perp walk for luigi mangione as being propaganda. i've seen so many people wave it off and instead fawn over his looks. and trust me, i know it ended up being kind of pathetic and weird - but please don't brush it off as a "modelling opportunity" for him. it's a fucking terrifying message the police are sending.

i want to make a few comparisons here, in case you're not from the US or familiar with why the perp walk thing is something to pay attention to. just to set the groundwork for why this is a purposeful, unusual, and cruel act by the nyc police - for why this is not a common occurrence and for why that matters.

the prosecution alleges the show of force is due to the charge of "terrorism." for comparison, in june 2015, tsarnaev was found guilty for the boston marathon bombing, which killed 3 people and injured hundreds. his actions are considered to be an act of domestic terrorism. i have spent the last hour looking through google for pictures of similar to mangione's perp walk - and so far, i have found zero. i also just do not personally remember a moment like that, despite living in boston at the time.

they allege that luigi is a stone-cold killer who carried out a longterm plan, making him particularly dangerous. again for comparison: in nyc, recently cory martin was found guilty of the killing of brandy odom. the murder was planned and premeditated to steal insurance money. and yet no staged perp walk. why didn't her life matter enough for a "show of force"?

but mangione gets paraded by a veritable army of police officers as if he is a rabid animal. for a single citizen who allegedly killed one other single citizen, the "largest perp walk ever" occurs.

so what is the "strong message" that the mayor and the police were trying to send here? the mayor speaks as if mangione is already convicted of terrorism. there is a very thin number of people who feel threatened by the CEO's death. none of us felt like mangione needs to be under massive armed guard.

the message is that you shouldn't resist. they are trying to "make an example" of him - that if you behave badly and kill a single rich person, you'll be treated as if you killed hundreds of people. you will be treated worse than a man who was found guilty of terrorism. you will be considered guilty without trial. the message is that the rich are a protected class, and you cannot touch them without massive punishment. they are trying to prevent a revolution by showing dominance and force against you.

the message is that the police are a puppet of the wealthy and that the law is not equally applied across class disparity. it is "some are more equal than others." it is "one life is more precious than another."

the show of force wasn't for luigi. it was for us. it was a warning. they are trying to remind us who is really in control.

I find something really intriguing about the comparison of Luna and Mithrix. Because they're kind of...opposites in the same situation? At least that's how I see it.

Luna essentially lives in her sister's shadow. No one seems to appreciate the night she brings or the dreams she has to manage, and Celestia doesn't address Luna's situation either. Luna feels neglected and unappreciated, maybe sometimes even suffocated. Luna has mentioned before that Celestia was always telling her how to do things. Over the years, she grows bitter and resentful of the position she's been relegated to. One day, she does something incredibly stubborn and selfish, especially considering her position. An eternal night would force them to recognize her, and she would make them look at her and respect her, even if through fear. Though before she could properly enact this, she was sealed in the moon by Celestia, for like...way too long. I know alicorns have longer lifespans, but a thousand years is kind of insane.

Mithrix and his relationship to his brother is very central to his character and story. Mithrix cares very deeply for his brother, however he doesn't understand him. Mithrix doesn't try to understand Providence's more "peculiar" interests either, instead dismissing his brother's desires and attempting to steer him towards his own goals. The imprisonment of Aurelionite was once such instance. Ironically enough, it is again because Mithrix does not care for or understand soulful creatures that he decides to imprison her, rather than nurture her. It's not a stretch to assume Providence felt very trapped by his brother's will. Perhaps fearing that this would go on forever, Providence stranded Mithrix on the moon for thousands of years.

In terms of the roles they play in their sibling's lives, Luna is actually more like Providence and Mithrix is more like Celestia. Yet they both share an intense bitterness and years of moon isolation at the hands of their sibling.

I think if they somehow met, specifically during their imprisonments, they'd actually get really mad at each other. Though, maybe having a stand-in for their respective sibling would allow them to reconcile with their situation. Begrudgingly group therapy partners.

Its so weird getting Anons that say "I can't believe you like, would support, believe in X/Y/Z!"

Why? What gave you that impression? That you would know me well enough? Show me where in your Character Analysis it implies I wouldn't be that type of person?

I think we as a society should bring back brotps. I think we should be weirder about characters being friends the same way people are weird about ships. Make those two characters who interacted once or twice besties. Make it difficult for them to get rid of each other even if they want to. Go nuts

I love how Gerald was trying to keep Shadow from spoiling anything about the future meanwhile literally everything Shadow says and does around Maria is the biggest death flag ever

"life doesnt get better, you just get stronger" does NOT include ages 11-17. life does in fact just get better from there. those years are dogshit. like, you do get stronger but its mostly just a factor of not being 11-17 anymore. positive thinking helps but it doesnt fix whatevers going on at 15, you have to brute force through that one raw
