silandra sho I would do anything for you

I'm reading The Eye of Darkness and I just really love this line from Belin to Avar Kriss in chapter 29.

"You may be a Jedi, but you don't have to save everyone. You can't save everyone. It's the fact you even try that makes you different from the Nihil. You don't have to win, Avar Kriss. All you have to do is try. That's enough."

If that's not really the message of Star Wars, I don't know what is.

pulp scifi media being unintentionally prophetic, part one billion

george mann (writer) and emma vieceli (artist) accidentally made this semi obscure eighth doctor comic from 2016 — a solid seven years before the proper advent of so-called AI “art” — act as a spookily prescient attack on its twisted mirror-image imitation of real human creativity

which is especially salient considering josie (the companion from this series of comics) is an artist. all the best doccy who stories are those which reflect, amplify or distort some significant personality trait of the current doctor/companion team and use that to propel the worldbuilding. peak

the theatre i.e. entertainment becomes a prison. “art” becomes a source of exploitation with no humanity involved

the mirrorfolk are using the likenesses of the people they trap to power the portals which enable them to enter our world, just like AI engines parasitically “learn from” (steal) real-life art to synthesise its own, never paying credit to or acknowledging the original

still think i’m reaching? check out what the monstrous mirrorfolk “creations” look like

grotesque, deformed shapes with fingers in the wrong places. exactly like AI-generated human forms looked in its early stages of development

the most unsettling part? eight’s little speech bubble at the bottom right. it’s as if they knew.

“the ripple of an event that might or might not have happened yet”

Star Wars: The High Republic: Tears of the Nameless

That’s what strength is, Azlin. Not wallowing in fear and isolation. Not proving you’re able to withstand the darkness alone, or troubling over feelings of guilt or inadequacy. We find true strength when we look in the mirror and see our own imperfections, when we admit to others that we need help. None of us need to be alone.

No point dwelling on it. Focus on what you can do. Not what's already come to pass. You just have to keep going... Keep trying. You'll get there in the end.
