i'll find you one day / washed out in your head we'll be holding hands / with nothing in the air

[clementineskesh]

It was a long time coming.

Transcript:

Jesset: Clementine killed Figure, then brought them back in service, and then brought them back again and I lost track of it somewhere in there. Future did the final thing, but Figure was cursed by Clementine, who we're now working side by side with. And it's a long, repeated story. I understand, um, the Apokine is with us again, also. I don't expect perfection from the Cause leadership. I know that we have a unique perspective on all of this, Brnine. You and me, we remember what things were like on Partizan. We were on Fort Icebreaker. We lost Valence. We lost Gur. We lost Sovereign Immunity. We lost more people than there are people to count!

Levi: Yeah, man, and now people are going to say that about you. People are going to be sad that they lost you! ‘Cause that's how it ends.

Jesset: No. I've seen the future, and no one is going to be sad about me. 

Brnine: That thing lies to you. 

Jesset: You won't even say the names of the people we lose. 

Brnine: It's been five years, and I've spent my time feeling bad about it. I think if Valence saw me now, [tearing up] part of them would be proud of me. And I'm happy enough with that.

Visualising Balance in the Force

Balence looks a lot more like this:

[ID: a radial gradient with blue in the center and red at the edges. End ID]

Than it does like this:

[ID: A linear gradiant with blue at the left and red on the right. End ID]

The red outer edges of the first gradient can never be destroyed. They are as natural as the blue center. And it is difficult to remain at the center—pulled on all sides by various kinds of selfishness and malice (fear, greed, hate, anger, guilt). If you could just run all the way to one side of every issue, and stay there forever, being a good person would be easy. Simple.

But it’s not simple or easy, most of the time. You have to think hard and become a complicated adult person if you want to do find the way to be good. Good is harder than evil, unselfishness is harder than selfishness, and Star Wars has always said so. It also says that the goodness, the unselfishness, the balance within it, is singularly worth the effort.

Mundane situations :)

spoilers for palisade 29

"martyrs"

I am obsessed with the idea that Brnine walked into that room knowing they wouldn't walk out. Phyrigian, Sovereign Immunity, and Valence all martyred themselves for the Cause - Brnine, who do you admire most?

[guccigarantine]

mmmm you ever think brnine just sits in the cockpit of the blue channel and watches the video message from valence

[family-confrontation-and-bonding]

My feed at the moment is equal parts Arcane and Dungeon Mensi.

Balance must be maintained.

Her ass is not balanced

[grandmagbignaturals]

Had an idea for a palisade scene I want.

I want Brnine to convince Gucci to stay on Palisade. I think Gucci is gonna want to leave (bc explosion, yknow) and Brnine is gonna have a whole speech about how if this revolution is worth doing it is worth getting blown up for. And crucially they are NOT going to think about valence until after. And then they're gonna ignore that thought because if they don't they'll lose it. :)

Tried to figure out where I'd heard "MakeDamnSure" bc I definitely hadn't heard any other songs on the relevant Taking Back Sunday album

Realized that it was from an official licensed 🅱️alence PMA*

*Like an AMV but for podcasts instead of anime, and audio instead of video, and also it's about Kal'mera Braun and Valence instead of Naruto and Sasuke

[cookiefromcookie]

Thinking of Kalvin Brnine- Darling Captain revolutionary haunted by the ghosts of the universe’s past. That it was almost a ghost of their own— a cruel act of coincidence. On their knees in an empty theatre that doesn’t exist, on a planet that shouldn’t have had to. What does Valence smell like? Oh Brnine: like Starlight, like Ozone, like Space. Like Righteousness.

[clementineskesh]

i love Brnine's stable of love interests I love their weird tension I love seeing this develop but I'm sorry absolutely nothing hits the way Balence does

[cokeskinnycunt]

[thominyourside]

Need to relisten to Partizan again, but especially all the SBBR episodes bc im thinking about Valence a lot in regards to Palisade

[wereshrew-admirer]
