"why does fanon love making Jason care about his goons when he kills them in canon" I'm sorry to tell you that Jason's Robin run is a significant work for his characterization. And that Willis Todd was in fact a goon. Like, that's a significant thing that happened.
(jaybin fans exist not every Jason fan is a hardcore UTH fan who thinks everything about Winick's writing is pure and just and the right way)

anyway my stance on "reading the classics" basically boils down to the fact that what is or is not defined as "a classic" is somewhat arbitrary, and therefore it makes no sense to treat "the classics" as some sort of uniform genre that you either like or dislike. Whether you liked Great Expectations has no bearing on whether you'll like 1984 or Rebecca or Pride and Prejudice or East of Eden or Frankenstein or Crime and Punishment. Because those are all vastly different books. "I don't want to read Classics; they're all boring and probably sexist or something." <<free yourself from the arbitrary category of "classic." It just means a lot of people liked the book. You might not. but you might. Treat it as an individual title.

anyway the tusken massacre cannot be a genocide because anakin lacks the necessary mens rea, which would have been killing the encampment with the intent of systematically eliminating all or a substantial part of tusken raiders as a whole on the basis of their race or ethnicity, whereas his actual mens rea is to kill all the perpetrators and bystanders involved in his mother's torture and death
you cannot use his speech afterwards to prove mens rea as mens rea and actus reus must be contemporaneous. his speech, again, demonstrates an intent to kill *all* of the people residing in the place his mother was tortured and killed, not *all* tuskens, a very important distinction
genocide is a very serious term referring to a very specific type of generally state sanctioned crime against a particular group of people to eliminate them

Loved the concept of them having a steam baby together, and the movie had such good use of color, so I wanted to draw them as an opportunity to try new things with my coloring!

Firstly, I need you to you know that donā€™t let me lose you to the rising tide has me weeping over the concept of unconditional love. Like itā€™s so interesting to me because I was rereading weeding out wildfires, and you really tease at this idea of ā€œobiwan would forgive anakin anythingā€ and in the context of that fic that felt so darkā€¦like Anakin would murder his lover and heā€™d still forgive him, Obiwan has a massive blind spot, etc.
But the tone in thisā€¦idk, itā€™s just immaculate. Because I donā€™t know if I would say that Obiwan has forgiven him necessarily, but he still loves him. I went to catholic school for years, was raised Christian, and itā€™s always this concept that God loves unconditionally. (And then it get complicated in Catholicism because of moral sins and hell and purgatory existing etc etc) but youā€™ve justā€” you single handedly, in the space of that last chapter, brought me back to being 5 years old and believing in unconditional love and itā€™s just beautiful. (Complicated bc Vader, but beautiful.) reading this fic was truly a religious experience
Aw this is great because it is also one of my favorite flavors of Obikin at the moment: where obi-wan would forgive anakin for anything that he could do, wrong or right, on purpose or accidental, and anakin Has Feelings About That (Mostly Love In Return)
by the end of rising tide, obi-wan hasnā€™t really gotten around to addressing or coming to terms with any of the stuff that has happened in the fic, post-waking up. all he is sure of is that anakin is Vader and Vader is anakin which means that he is already forgivenā€”or if not forgiven, then not abandoned. still loved, still treasured, still missed.
Obi-Wan is going to bend his moral code for that boy and feel guilt and feel anger when he has the time to really process everything (and importantly, process it with anakin next to him) like everything anakin did as Vader, what happened on meyset, the war, what Obi-wan did by killing that soldier, etc etc
so I agree the forgiveness bit is a bit more complicated because these are very real crimes and choices anakin made and committed and that would need reckoning. But I think this Obi-wan would look at that as a side quest to the main undertaking which is Take Care of Him, and for the both of them their loneliest nights are behind them now

In ep.IV they show us this embrace, this beautiful, beautiful and painful scene. Those few seconds hold such a deep meaningā€¦and yet in that moment we do not know ANYTHING about it. So what? Is one supposed to see it and then go on with the show and forget about it, putting it in a corner of their mind with all those ā€œyou will understand laterā€ things? Because thatā€™s what happened, the first time I watched this season I completely forgot about it. And thatā€™s such a WASTE! Pretty much all of the Flint/Mirandaā€™s scenes in the first season are a waste, in a way. Please do not misunderstand me, I think those scenes are really amazing and I also think that the timing of the ā€œgreat revelationā€ was perfect, I wouldnā€™t have liked it so much had it come before, and exactly for these reasons Iā€™m saying that those wonderful scenes are ā€œwastedā€. Because a lot of those get lost in the first watch, since one canā€™t understand the importance of them still and so doesnā€™t even give them the right amount of attention they would deserve. Of course the mystery was intriguing, and something sounded pretty strange since the beginning, but stillā€¦STILL. Almost all of the scenes about the two of them or about Miranda kill me on rewatch, knowing their whole story. But thatā€™s the thing, you have to rewatch it to get the complete beauty of them. And I think thatā€™s a shame, because people who like the show but are not obsessed with it as I am would probably never rewatch it, but maybe, if they had remembered or rewatched at least those scenes, there would be one more chance for them to be as obsessed as I am with it.
Really, how beautiful this hug was? An ā€œItā€™s overā€ kind of hug, but with a double meaning. Itā€™s over like we put an end to part of our misery, venting our anger on the responsible for it, but also, itā€™s over like our old existences are over, and we will never be the same persons we used to be ever again. Which is pretty much what happens with every revenge (Iā€™m not judging though). I just love it so much, I wish I had been able to see all of that since the first time I saw it.

Thank u so much for the CIPHER love šŸ©·šŸ©· maybe cipher isnā€™t about the elements of crime but the friends we made along the way /j
