i have so much to say about dead boy detectives, but what's hurting me the most (but also keeping me the most motivated!) is how obvious it is that it was made with love.

it wasn't just made to make money! it was made to tell a beautiful story of love (in all of its forms). it's the first live action show i've watched in a long time that actually feels like it was made for the sake of making ART and sharing a worthwhile message to its audience. i haven't loved a show this deeply in well over a decade, and as an artist, it's so disheartening to see art constantly be thrown away.

i'm so sick and tired of shows that are just meant to fill our already limited time with... nothing! shows that keep getting renewed today, wouldn't have made it past a single season or even the pilot 20 years ago! the industry has ruined our attention spans just so they can shill us mediocre and unfinished projects because who is actually watching, right? we need to show them that we are paying attention and that we have no intention of wasting our precious time on meaningless "content."

i know this has all been said before, but i'm still so angry over this. i'll continue to let my anger fuel the effort, though!

keep up the great work, everyone, but please remember to prioritize your health and well-being!

I really hope that with The Acolyte sparking conversations about giving shows a fair chance rather than giving in to bigotry, we can see it return. Bringing it back would be an opportunity to prove why it's so important to support shows with fresh ideas and protecting your cast instead of caving to backlash.

And The Acolyte should be the one to lead this change, since it's the show that started this whole pushback. You can tell Disney and Lucasfilm didn’t expect the backlash—they thought no one would care about the cancellation, but fans and the media haven't let it go. It’s clear they don’t know how to handle this since they’ve never faced such backlash over a cancellation like this

Just watched Attack of the Clones and noticed more parallels between Anakin Skywalker and Osha Aniseya.

(Long post ahead, with visuals!)

In AotC, Anakin's mother dies before she can tell him, "I love you," and Anakin descends down a path of destruction out of grief.

Osha force-chokes her father figure before he can say, "I love you," because she grieves his betrayal and the loss of her family.

Now these are very different forms of paternal love by Shmi and Sol, but I LOVE comparing and contrasting Anakin and Osha because these situations lead to different outcomes and reactions. Yet at the core, they have these strong emotions they hold inside. In the simplest form, they have both lost parents and both lost their mothers.

Both Osha and Anakin are born with the help of the Force, we know this. Anakin is born completely of the Force. Osha and Mae are born through their mother's magic augmented by the Force. Anakin didn't care for his home planet. He was born into slavery and trauma. But his mother loved him dearly. He left because he dreamt of better. To be a Jedi and return to free her too.

Osha came from a family that loved and protected her, but she longed for individuality and to explore the galaxy outside of their coven walls. Anakin finds his mother in her last moments, and the dark side takes over him. He seeks revenge and kills the Tusken camp out of rage.

Osha learns the man who raised her killed her mother. Her silent anger is simmering. She doesn't lash out the exact same way, she's in shock.

Their reactions work for both of them. Anakin had his emotions building inside of him. In his feelings of inadequacy, he tells Padme that he is used to fixing everything, but this is the one time he failed. Anakin thinks he lost his mother due to his own weakness and believes more power will prevent it in the future. However, he is also ashamed of how his anger manifests and the act he committed in the camp. Padme tells him, "To be angry is to be human." (And as I am typing this RotS is on and Palpatine tells him the same, that seeking revenge on Dooku is natural despite his unease). But because of his training, Anakin says, "I'm a Jedi. I know, I'm better than this."

Osha has power, but she doesn't realize it. Striking out at Qimir catches her off guard. Killing her master startles her to shock. She's not seeking power. Osha seeks an understanding of herself and to be understood. Just like Anakin, Osha believes she failed as a Jedi for showing her anger. For not being able to accept loss. Qimir pushes her to confront his realization, and similar to Padme, he tells her, "This anger, this pain. This is who you are."

Anakin and Osha descend to darkness in similar ways. They feel and emote in similar ways. The Jedi are not successful in teaching them how to healthily deal with their feelings. So these experiences mirror, but they are still distinct examples of Jedi that are seduced to the dark side.

To me, Anakin Skywalker and Osha Aniseya are incredibly compelling characters that are only strengthened when analyzed together. End.
