warriors 2024 and the art of giving meaning to struggle

alrighty ramble time: let's talk about luther and how he managed to fuck up NYC for good. if luther were like i dunno lex luthor, i'd say his move to destabilize gang relations in nyc is a very fucking calculated move because i really do have to give credit to him in actually achieving the goal he set out for himself because his decision to kill cyrus,,,,aka the one that organized the "Please No Gang Fighting" summit that aimed to unite everyone against the bigger baddies of NYC,,,essentially fucking killed any and all chance of such a peace summit and unity initiative from ever happening again. because, like, after seeing a beloved and seemingly untouchable leader be murdered in front of all of you despite explicit instructions to Not Bring Weapons, would you even risk witnessing that chaos again in another summit? would you trust that forming a united force work after such a tragedy? is there even a possibility of finding trust among other NYC gangs if someone among their number killed your very hope? so yea knowing how the movie ends with just the gramercy riffs saying that the warriors (with two dead people and one arrestee in tow) are off the hook because someone else witnessed luther killing cyrus,,,the original ending is actually quite hopeless when you think about it in their shoes. in the words of movie swan himself in the movie, is what they end up with all their night of sleepless fighting and struggle is worth? hence, i now really see why warriors (2024) decided to make what I consider to be the 2nd biggest diversion outside of the genderswap: making cleon live - because otherwise, the warriors' struggles surviving the night can be said to be struggle for solely struggle's sake.

in the musical, cleon is an astute believer in cyrus and the future cyrus envisions for all of NYC - thus, she becomes the harbinger of cyrus' hope in the form of still breathin' and somewhere in the city. her being alive doesn't detract from the widespread tragedy faced by the NYC gangs - i still really believe that no matter what, luther effectively killed their one shot at true unity and trust - but in cleon's own words: "What do you do when they kill everything you believe in? Give it meanin." the decision to keep cleon alive is warriors (2024) counteractive measure at the absolute shithole luther placed NYC in because in her message of keeping the dream alive despite situations that are, realistically speaking, impossible to wholly recover from, gives their struggle meaning, purpose, and direction - the end goal being hope. that theme of hope despite and in spite of adversity now becomes evident on as to why we are made to be invested in the warriors' journey home and their subsequent growth. in mercy's decision to leave the orphans for a place of belonging and pride that can make her finally hold her head up high. in ajax's and fox's decisions to retaliate against their pursuants among sleazy old men in blue. in swan's persistence in getting the rest of her crew home alive despite still reeling from the loss of her leader and her fellow warriors. all attribute their own reasons to why they resist and rebel because they ultimately hope for something fucking better. ultimately, warriors (2024) exists because of the want to give more meaning to struggle in the form of hope amidst hopelessness. in the movie, the warriors find their meaning in the sweet simple bliss of survival - in making to coney island's sunrise. but in the album, another meaning is emphasized among not just the warriors, but the marginalized communities of NYC in general: their meaning of struggle goes beyond surviving the night - because they carry on and carry forth the dream of one day having a city where they all come home alive. because after all, isn't the formation of grassroots rooted in resistance - and isn't resistance born out of the want and hope for something better?

Al-👏 freaking 👏-right, I am finally done with writing Part 8 itself aside from Quality Checks (just rereading stuff and editing what's needed lol)

so now just that, tagging, Notes (which uhhhhhhh definitely will not fit in the character limit 😂) and boom it's out ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ

(Idk if I'll be able to dedicate more time to do it all Right Now, but it shouldn't take more than a few hours either way 🤔)

According to the Ao3 counter it's almost exactly 17k words after all the additions and edits as of rn lol, which is kinda funny because every single word counter I've used counts it differently 😂

Idk where the differences comes from 'cause that's almost 150 words less than according to one of them, and 40~ according to another?

It's mostly just an odd of programming in my case but probably frustrating if someone were to try doing exact wordcount challenges, huh 🤔

Also, poor SIkuna lmfao - I can't wait for the reactions to the Hijinks™ I'm putting bro through in this Part, rip in pepperonis my guy

NEW PUPPY IN THE HOUSE

(literally, she's eepin in my mom's lap now)

[milkymooshi]

I’ve reached the stage of hyperfixation where I’m starting to kin my fave and projecting my own trauma and personality onto them. We are reaching territories I thought I left behind. Going dark.

[steelminds]

hand in my hand, and we promised to never let go.

Eda has never been one for sitting around, but when there's nothing else to do in the dead of the night, sitting and doing nothing with the puppet of Raine Whispers doesn't seem like the worst thing in the world. Before she knows it, however, she finds herself reminiscing about the two's old memories.

I like to think that if my tumblr pals came to my house, they’d have a good time
