#and frankly isnt that interesting!

Forget "gray Jedi" I want to explore Nightsister morality. A culture steeped in dark side magick but which seemingly has many members that shy away from pure evil.

Ventress, who's a Sith apprentice tossed aside, clinging to the dark yet occasionally drifting closer to the Light, using a yellow lightsaber, devoting herself to the Force while still using her hatred and pain? Merrin, who retains her Nightsister culture, resurrects the dead, and yet pries her Jedi lover from the very brink of the Dark she draws from?

I'd take exploration of this type over "gray Jedi" any day of the week.

wild how Miorine didn’t appear once but how often she was invoked in this episode. Shaddiq’s (disgusting) accusations towards Guel not taking responsibility with her, Petra’s only wish to survive and demand a proper date from Lauda, Chuchu telling Nika that she needs to tell her the truth and the entire truth, otherwise they can’t even start on the path to forgiveness. The Greenhouse being crushed underneath a Gundam, the article that was sent to Suletta in the beginning. Earth House unsure how to handle it, Suletta back in class, zoning out.

y’know. something that gets overlooked often is kate’s video, and the confirmed implications of it.

whether you believe nathan assaulted kate or not, this doesn’t take away from the fact she was canonically sa’d by multiple boys at the vortex club party. there are no names given, but we know this is undoubtedly true due to the video’s existence as well as everyone talking about the contents within said video. we also know that kate was visibly out of it in the video given max’s remarks when she finds it on victoria’s computer, and that passed out girls are a common sight at vortex club parties given the unresponsive student across hayden at the end-of-the-world bash :

regardless of where you stand on nathan’s involvement, it is undoubtedly obvious that kate is a victim of sexual assault. she was drugged and then mauled by a group of boys who could probably tell something was wrong, but just didn’t care enough to check. after all, as victoria puts it, people get wasted all the time … how are they supposed to protect or care for every which one of them? ( excuses! )

lis:1 in general has always handled sexual assault with nuance so rarely found in media. they do not make harsh lines in the sand about what ‘counts’ or not. they do not make a show of brutalizing the women on our screen via borderline fetish content like most do when discussing themes of rape. instead, there are undertones : max in lis:de, for example, treats the dark room like a sexual assault trauma specifically. she also goes through her own victim blaming by harping on how attractive she found jefferson, how much she wanted to marry him … this occurs in her nightmare as well, where max behaves as though she wanted what happened, what jefferson did to her, when we know she didn’t. obviously, max was not raped. she was not kissed or groped. but there is an underlying sexual gratification jefferson gets from framing her -- there are perverted comments whispered in her ear, she’s being posed with her purity being talked about, and she is being photographed in a vulnerable, helpless state. it just paints a picture. max comes out of it well aware that jefferson was into it, into seeing her that way, and he moved her while she was unconscious and took his sick photos and that’s enough for the trauma to settle in the sexual assault category. most people wouldn’t count it as that, but the game itself does. the dark room has always been a heavy handed look into young girls being abused and preyed on by older men. it is not shocking that it’s one big metaphor for sexual abuse as well, especially sexual abuse that is demeaned and invalidated by others, sexual abuse that isn’t believed. cue jefferson’s whole character. a man who is too perfect and beloved to suspect. a man who told kate to her face that she’s just seeking attention and likely enjoyed what happened to her. a man who got away with such remarks.

the newspapers go out of their way to claim there isn’t any evidence of sexual assault among the victims, and i believe that’s because they weren’t assaulted in the only way the public cares to look, which is penetrative sex. i could also see the article lying, as papers do, but i think it paints a more prominent picture of how weird people are about sexual assault victims and how downright demanding they are about what counts, what doesn’t, and what’s okay for victims to do or say about their own experiences. it is all rather disgusting, honestly! and i’ve always been enamored by the more complicated, unpopular takes lis:1 took with that plot. i feel like to harp on sexual trauma that genuinely isn’t confirmed and to then ignore the girls’ actual sexual assault ( jefferson, the vortex club ) does a rather huge disservice to the game’s more interesting themes. to put it plainly, it’s a major simplifying tale of the story.

so far have thrown out pages and pages and pages of me attempting to philosophise my way out of depression

[zeestarfishalien]

As someone who is canonically strong. I think the thing that bothers me the most is when people go out of their way to try to carry something heavy for me even when they know how strong I am.

Like, dude, my guy...you've seen all this in action. You're just embarrassing yourself with your own insecurities.

[acesammy]

There's something interesting about how sam and dean's hell experiences are portrayed. Dean has just enough agency in hell to become the aggressor, while sam is only the victim and can only be the victim

[skuntank]

Avoids inevitable drama and discourse over Pokemon starters each time new ones are revealed by simply not liking or using any of them since GSC

I'm p sure hisuian typhlosion was the only starter I genuinely liked enough to keep on my team the whole game since gen 2

also it's so fun that he decides not to be a monk anymore by basically going 'well GOD made me an insane and swashbuckling loverman and who am i to argue with the divine' in a scene that is equal parts romantic comedy and 'emilio sees the door and knows his purpose'. like well i WOULD have a really deep conversion but .. sadly .. im too fun and sexy anyway let's go back to paris and i'll see if the queen still wants me to get in her pannier

My bestie/housemates new hyperfixation is like. Boys. All the dating apps, spent the evening messaging 5 at the same time for 8 hours while I was working. Which is fine but I have to say it's my least favourite of his hyperfixations.

[shikai-the-storyteller]

I disagree with some things Amzet is talking about, but it's interesting hearing his perspective.

[aroacettorney]

perhaps the reason why aup ended like *that* is because it was not supposed to have a happy ending in the first place, but sayren didnt have the guts to deal with readers' backlash for when they finally kill off the main character so a half baked happy ending is what we get 😔
