I will always love this line from Babylon 5.
We should always walk in grey, not in black and white. No one is perfect; we all have flaws. Sometimes we lie. Sometimes we make extremely bad choices that can take years to remedy. Sometimes we lose something precious in the journey. No one can escape them; regrets, sorrows, and grief are our constant companions.
I am grey. I am the candle in the night.
As an abuse survivor, I have learned how so many can escape “detection” and how many are fooled and groomed by the abusers themselves.
We learn. Knowledge hurts.
And we live, move on, and try to spread that light.

the concept of "grey Jedi" doesn't work because the force is light and dark, not black and white. By definition, colour value might be a spectrum, but darkness is absence of light. Everyone is grey! Star wars has clearly implied that nobody is perfect and everyone comes in shades of of grey, everyone is flawed and imperfect. The jedi are all technically grey! Everyone has the dark and potential to fall within them. However, they are "light" because they, as jedi, choose light, choose selflessness, choose goodness. "Light" is a choice.
Textbook fandom interpretation of "grey jedi" is either A. Someone who uses both the dark and light side or B. Someone who is light and does good but doesn't follow the jedi order.
A. doesn't work, because the dark side isn't just defined by "being emotional" or "Thinking of yourself", it's literally stuff like murder and torture. You can't claim to be "good" or "light" or "better than everyone" while also condoning murder at the same time.
B. You don't have to be a jedi to use the force! You don't have to be a jedi to be in the light! Like it's not illegal, the jedi order respects non-jedi force users as long as they don't commit human rights violations! the Jedi are the majority of force users, but they're not the only ones who can use the force. The jedi themselves are aware that there are many different interpretations, and the only intervene when it. yknow. involves murder and torture and the like. calling non-jedi lightside users as "grey jedi" doesn't really make sense because they're... just technically normal jedi. And if they're not associating with the order, then they're just lightside force users that are not jedi? Why would they call themselves jedi if they themselves don't think they are jedi or associate with the jedi???
Like in Ahsoka's situation, she's not a "grey" jedi, she's a light force user that doesn't follow the jedi order. In fact, saying that she's a "grey" jedi is basically just saying that she's a regular jedi? That doesn't make her better or worse or special, disagreeing with the council doesnt make someone better or worse that the other- what does matter is her actual actions. Which, as aforementioned, is lightside. The jedi order is also light. They can coexist, yknow, one is not superior than the other, they're both light. And it's not uncommon for people to disagree with the council. That's the entire point of the jedi having a "council"- to provide different perepectives and healthy debate and come up with the best decision for everyone. You can't please everybody, that's entirely normal. There's a reason why the council discusses instead of having one person make all the choices. The jedi are people too, they're also flawed. You can be grey and choose light, that's what the jedi choose to do.
tldr everyone is already grey, but light and dark is a matter or choice.
addedum Mace windu is a great example of a character who is light, where his use of vaapad requires mastery of control of both light side and dark side, and therefore he often skirts the dark side as well, he consciously makes an effort to choose "light" and master himself.

I wish the wheel was numbered sequentially but it’s actually kinda crazy how thematically relevant each of these signs were for their character’s arc in krakoa. The replacement members also work too, touching on different aspects of their signs.

Yes, Delenn started a war. Yeah, that's objectively bad. But do we really think that EarthGov would have given anyone the courtesy of asking about why they killed a significant (political) figure before committing massive violations of the Geneva Convention?
Obviously we shouldn't condone this behavior- but let's at least give it some perspective:
It's literally her first day on the job. she just finished her internship the night before
she's been trained for this role and this role alone, her life experience is limited at best and nonexistent at worst
her mentor just died -> that's essentially going from training wheels on flat and even ground, with a helmet to a unicycle on a mountain during fire season... uphill
nobody really cared about what she said until 20 minutes ago when she became One of Them
there were four other members of the Grey Council that were pro-war, she didn't decide to go to war by herself
#babylon 5#b5#delenn of mir#satai delenn#for once it’s not an incorrect quote#grey council#earth minbari war#i am having thoughts#in this house we respect value and cherish the women of b5#and dukaht was also a religious leader#but my point still stands#I feel like so much blame is thrown onto her when half of her co-workers completely agreed with her#she's hamlet prince of denmark when you think about it#impulsive as anyone else but has to ponder death at every opportunity#the one character that can't make a rash decision but makes many rash decisions in the process of abstaining from the larger one#and yes I know the Geneva convention is for human wars but there's got to be some equivalent or another#feel free to add on

As the remaining Quiet Council are discussing family matters and their plans on going home, Kafka the winged mutant boy overhears the conversation and starts to have doubts. Kafka eventually talks to Exodus about his doubt about how the rest of the mutants may have to stay behind in White Hot Krakoa while some of the mutants are selected to go home (and fight Orchis). The Quiet Council and the chosen mutants prepare for a ritual which Mister Sinister empties a vial of Cypher's genes into the pool so that Krakoa could help them in teleporting the mutants back home. The Krakoan vines wrap around Mister Sinister & the mutants and turns them into buds. Hope Summers remains behind on White Hot Krakoa as she reminds herself that she has to bring Phoenix Force back and she has some Messiah shit to do. Back on Earth, Apocalypse is dragging Krakoa-Treant back to Krakoa island when the chosen mutants pop right out of the flowers.
Much later, Hope Summers is having much difficulty in dealing with the Phoenix Force and Jean Grey. In order to save all of mutantkind and resurrect both the Phoenix and Jean Grey, Hope alongside the help of Legion (as the talking Hope Gun) shot the Phoenix with the consequence being her sacrificing herself in the process. Jean and the Phoenix have come back but Hope is gone. Meanwhile, the mutants are fighting the Stark Sentinels on the ruins of Krakoa island when Exodus, Destiny and Mystique teleport in. The Hope Sword is back in Nightcrawler's hands. Even though Destiny hugs Nightcrawler after some getting her motherly memories back from Xavier, she gives the bad news - Hope Summers is dead. Exodus at first doesn't believe it then announces that Hope has returned to whence she came. "The word made flesh, the flesh made immortal. She is with Krakoa in exile in spirit." Nightcrawler says the Krakoan mutants are trapped in the White Hot Room, lost forever. But Exodus, returning to the fight and attacking a Sentinel, says the people of Krakoa will return, that the Krakoan age will come again. Nightcrawler asks Destiny if they can win but she still sees no victory.
The Krakoan mutants including the Five minus Hope and Jumbo Carnation are stuck in the White Hot Krakoan Room arguing around a table trying to figure out how they will function, who will do what, etc. Little Kafka gets annoyed and tells everyone to shut up. He tells the room that they have to be better than this, that they have no rulers, no leaders, no heroes. That they have to be the Quiet Council and that means they have to listen. He takes charge and starts working to assign tasks such as food supply, tutoring, teaching. It's a bittersweet last page as that little hero is determined to make Krakoa, despite being lost in the White Hot Room.

X-Men: Forever #4, 2024 (10th, 11th, 12th, 13th, 14th and 15th pics)
- - - -- --------
The trapped Krakoan mutants in the White Hot Room reminds me of the ending of Drifting Classroom manga when the elementary school students in the bad future dimension cannot go home after several tries. So the trapped students decide to stay and work together in the ruined future to build a new civilization.

Funny how the 'authority' in the heroes's side always end up most hated and more evil than the actual villains

Suzette LaSouris, daughter of the Mouse King (or... so she claims,) and rival to Polly Larkrising, the next Nutcracker soldier. Suzette looks forward to the legendary battle in their story, but Polly certainly does not.
Snidely sweet and polite to the point of sarcasm, Suzette is popular among her class of villains, a promising up-and-coming antagonist. She has a few magical tricks up her sleeve, always - including transforming into a small albino mouse to creep around the school and spy on fellow students... when she's not chased off by another, particularly fierce, big brown mouse who comes across her from time to time.
Polly barely tolerates their rivalry, but Suzette takes great joy in antagonizing her and any other Rebel unfortunate enough to come across her. Suzette is best friends with Faybelle and always down to make trouble, especially alongside the Evil Queen during Dragon Games, which is the point where Polly has had enough - because the truth is, Suzette is not the daughter of the Mouse King at all. She's only a pretender grasping for a powerful destiny.
#polly cybele and earl grey are the mouse council of ever after high and they constantly just 'you can't sit with us!' to suzette lmao#anyways no suzette and 99 percent of ever after have no clue that the Mouse King is Polly's father actually#so suzette really just sees an unclaimed destiny and thinks it's finders-keepers#meanwhile polly is annoyed but at the same time wants to see how far suzette will take this con
