I’m so tired of people portraying Anakin Skywalker as a redeemable villain, I understand the want to, to see him as a character who can fix his mistakes and move on but by the end of Attack of the Clones he’s completely irredeemable. He’s not a kylo ren character who can be fixed with the right love, he’s a tragic character and that’s what makes him a great character and a great villain.

He starts out with good intentions but by the end he’s completely irredeemable, he doesn’t deserve Luke’s forgiveness at the end of Return of the Jedi

my favorite star wars movie poster is this phantom menace one

and I like it so much because it really conveys what is so tragic about Anakin. when we first meet anakin in episode 1 we already know what he is too become he already know that this little boy who dreams of becoming a jedi to free the slaves will one day be a killer for an empire that allows and uses slave labor

Anakin does have genuinely good intentions at the start but that doesn’t matter because he will become a killing machine and as much as palpatine manipulates him, he choose to kill the younglings and be killed the sand people all on his own, no one told him to do that

Anakin is tragic because you want to root for him, you’re supposed to like his charm and sass in the clone wars show and that’s what makes it so much more heartbreaking when he does such horrible things. we get to understand to a degree what Ashoka and Obi-Wan and Padme felt seeing someone hey care about do things they know shouldn’t be forgiven

guys I had this realization the other day that Redwall works really well for reading aloud, and kinda half-remembered something about the author reading to kids? So I looked it up to see if I had made a connection.

And it turns out, yes, actually, because he read aloud to kids at a school for the blind. But all the books they gave him to read were depressing. So he wrote Redwall, a story about heroism and courage and making it through struggles, and filled it with so many sensory, visual details so he could give them something better and I just-- that's so wholesome-- help

I do find it facinating how Dracula Daily has turned Dracula into a different kind of myth now that we're in its third year running. I've seen a few people compare it to Hadestown, or a timeloop. The enjoyment isn't JUST from engaging with the story now, it's engaging with the experience, and while the emails are still the same as previous years, we've been through this before.

The way we as an audience interact with this story and this way of telling the story changes the genre. Its no longer a gothic horror, classic lit story. It's become a mythology, a tragedy, a repeating loop. Jonathan Harker returns to the castle every year. Every year it happens again. And that changes it, builds up new mythos around it, even if the words stay exactly the same.

Dean misremembering the purgatory portal scene is altering my brain chemistry in so many ways. What do you mean Dean remembered it as him not being able to save Cas because he wasn't strong enough, but in reality Cas let go??? We know he remembers some things perfectly like when Cas went into the lake because he had nightmares about that, but how many other things does he misremember? Does he remember Mary dying? Does he remember all his fights with Cas? Does he remember all the times Sam died? This was such a missed opportunity to do more. They could've made Dean even more traumatized by having him misremember something for so long, and then him having to learn it was completely different and having a whole crisis about it.

I love this scene because despite their falling out they still devise this pseudo trojan horse scheme so they can save Vander. It also shows how much Vi still trusts her even though she could VERY REASONABLY assume Caitlyn could betray her. Yeah she’s proven before she can get out of handcuffs before but she’s really putting so much, no pun intended, blind faith in Caitlyn not to lead her to her death. Idc if they haven’t properly reconciled yet Piltover’s finest is back and better than ever.
