yeah so im gonna witter about Martha Jones (Dr. Who) cause i just finished season 3 and im feeling so pissed and sad. The reasons are as follows:
i) they had insane chemistry (for me). Doctor and her just worked so well together imo but that didn't go anywhere and see im not mad about that.its fine he didn't have feelings for her it's alright
BUT WHAT'S NOT ALRIGHT WAS there was not a proper thank you,a legit heartfelt little something anything where we could see Doctor being grateful for what she did (I know some people will say he did say thank you but others might understand what im trying to say) cause she did ALOT. The human episode alone convinced me how strong she was. The way doctor once forces her out of the room when she walks in on them kissing broke my heart. But she stayed with him,took care of him when he didn't even remember her,watched him fall for someone else and I was waiting you know for the episode to end to see how the doctor will react when he comes back.An emotional moment or two between them but no it was just a thank you.thats it.
Did I make points? I kind of went on and on and forgot I made points so
ii) I saw online that some people were mad as to why was she given that one sided romantic arc she could have been so much more as an individual character but for me her having those feelings didn't weaken her.She was brilliant in whatever she did and was hella useful.She was smart and kind and brave. The problem isn't Doctor not reciprocating her feelings but not appreciating her properly!! Even when she left ofcourse you could see the disappointment on his face that's just Tennant's acting but some actions,some words would have been nice.
iii) there are so few edits of Doctor and Martha,which was the first thing I noticed that made me think like what ?? Did people not like her. They had a good relationship too. Why are there not more edits of them ??
iv) Loved the way she left though.On her own terms like a badass she was the entire season.
v)They could have done so much more with her character even with the romantic arc.So much could have been explored ahrghh this season just left and emptiness kind of feeling. I know next one is good but I'm not even feeling like starting another cause whatever happens Martha left. :(
vi) also did I say,she is so soo beautiful ?!!
if anyone ever reads it,sorry for the long rambling.

Do you think Jyn and Maarva would like each other?
tl;dr: no <3
I don't think Jyn would get along with maarva as she is a source of Cassian's issues with self-worth and guilt, similar to how Saw is a source for her fear of abandonment. Maarva doesn't even like her own son so who knows who's good enough for her lol.
a long rant below the cut
Jyn being someone who knows exactly what it’s like to be adopted and re-abandoned, her seeing Cassian's mother be consistently disappointed in her drugged n kidnapped adopted son is a whole other level of fucked up parental issues. Maarva opting to be with her her town instead of Cassian in her last days and also disbanding his actual family, it would be very difficult for someone like Jyn to see past these actions.
There's also no real justification for Maarva's treatment of Cassian (because he doesn't do his capitalist ferrix job? because he brings girls home? because he still lives with her even though he takes care of her?). AND even after her death, the last thing she wants him to remember was “hey, you’re a big fuck up, but that’s okay <3”.
Maarva has done nothing but live her life from her fuckass couch and yet had the audacity to tell Cassian that he needs to stand up, that he needs to rebel or get a job. Even after when he fought back and went to child prison after seeing his adopted father hanged. So not only did you get ripped away from your parents, but also the person that supposedly chose you felt like they got more than they bargained for, Cassian therefore feeling ultimately undesired by both the biological and adopted family.
But being a parent is complicated, is she at fault?
Compare it to Saw abandoning Jyn. When Jyn grew older he was forced to choose between his daughter and his life's mission. Abandoning her is, without argument, fucked up. While it created irreparable damage, we can understand why he did it. Not only was it traumatizing for Jyn, but it was THE ultimate sacrifice he was making from himself. The thing that shifts some blame away is that it gutted him to do this, and he did it from a place making sure she was safe and alive.
So with this in mind, what is Maarva’s sacrifice in being constantly disappointed in your adopted son because he isn’t like everyone else? What does she gain when she tells him to forget about Kenari, that there’s nothing left? Imagine being adopted, being told as an adult that, no, you can’t be looking for your biological family and that they’re nothing now, and that even trying is useless. The only thing I can see is that she just wants Cassian to fit her image of an ideal Ferrix citizen, which isn't amazing and isn't enough to justify her actions.
Moreover, as someone who has lost a parent, the last moments you have with them hold a permanent memory that weigh differently than everything else, and imo require its own sort of grief. On Maarva's last days, she made him leave without her, even when she knew she was going to die by not taking her meds. She would rather spend her last days being memorialized as a hero on Ferrix than being with her only son. And at the end of your days, you want to go home. You want to be with family for as long as possible. For Maarva, home was Ferrix and everyone else there, not Cassian.
So Maarva sucks because she was a terrible mother at the benefit of literally nothing. Where Saw was the insurgent leader of the extremist cell that made major attacks against the empire; and not the best father largely because of his life's work but also still wanting to do his best to keep his daughter safe. But look who gets more villainized than anybody else and who is more celebrated as a hero?
On a tangent now, I believe Jyn and Maarva would be comparable to Cassian and Saw's relationship: you don't feel all warm and fuzzy inside meeting the [person you care about]'s greatest source of trauma.
All that Cassian knows about him is that he adopted her, then abandoned her. Upon seeing him on Jedha he almost draws a gun to protect Jyn (doing that before THE guy, THE supposed terrorist and Empire's most wanted, mind you), unsure where their relationship stands. Saw of course, would protect his daughter in turn, not knowing who this guy is.
I would believe Jyn would see Maarva in a similar light on a dramatically smaller scale. That "I hate my MIL and our interests are only mutually aligned around what's best for Cassian", but of course what that means is totally different things. Maarva sees Cassian and believes he needs to change. Even when she’s fucking dead he still needs for things to come together in order to be unstoppable, or whatever vision she had in mind for him and that him on his own is not enough.
And so the rest of this is how I interpret the implications for Rogue One: that the lessons both Jyn and Cassian took from their adopted parents can be mutually shattered as they see each other for who they are and not what they've been molded to believe.
As we know with Jyn, she has a complex moral code. When she sees a stormtrooper she feels the reflex to kill. When she sees a war-torn child, her reaction is to risk her own life to save innocents. And this is what she continues to do when she meets Cassian. She has every reason to shoot him and steal his ship. But on Jedha, seeing him agreeing with her that she was perhaps worth saving after her deed of saving the child, she sees him in return when he shoots the partisan. They see each other for their actions, for the better parts of each other, despite their words and even their own personal doubts. Jyn continues to risk her life for him over and over again and vice versa. She doesn’t want to change him at all and she inspires him to fight in ways he perhaps has forgotten or never knew was possible.
In fact, the reason she’s angry with him on Eadu is because he lied to her. Revealing the intention to kill someone’s dad easily put your anger in the right, but while she is mixed up with grief, the bigger part of her knows he was incapable of doing it and doesn’t revel in the fact of who he could’ve been if he killed her father or even combined with terrible things he's done, but just sees the present man that didn't and instead came back for her. Even Cassian is thinking how she was going to kill him for it, when he hadn’t even committed the crime. He’s caught up with the impression and perception of the kind of man he is, the narrative that he’s been fed his whole life that he’s committed atrocities that deem him unworthy.
Jyn and Cassian offer each other a break from narratives and reputations that they've tried to sound out their whole lives. And although both characters have a lot of integrity, being told the same thing over again through life lessons, you begin to believe it yourself. It's where we meet the two of them at their lowest points. That for Jyn, she wasn't someone worth returning to, that there isn't hope amongst war. And for Cassian, that he's not a good person for things he's done, that war is endless, and he has to follow orders or do things for others in order to belong. As the events of Rogue One unfold, we can see how they come to understand each other. They create a bond by feeling seen for the first time.
IN SUMMARY:
Maarva is like the exact opposite of Saw Gerrera in all the worst fucking ways, I tell you. Instead of being family friends with and saving the child that he later abandons, she kidnaps the child away from their actual family and then holds them hostage on her planet to force-assimilate and take care of her in her old age. And instead of actively rebelling through extremist insurgencies, she sits around and berates her son to go be a rebel, and yet disappointed that he doesn't have a job or doesn't do what everybody else does(?).
Jyn would hate that bitch like. Every Life Day would be an ordeal. The irony of how she fucking dies doing nothing when Saw Gerrera is barely held together by oxygen tubes and yet outlives this couch potato. Andors versus Erso-Gerreras it's first-planet problems versus outer rim problems. Yeah they're both traumatic but the biggest difference is one of these is entirely avoidable if you just weren't a piece of shit.

eeeeeehhhhhhhh
kah copper 30 piece iktr
another 30 point comeback iktr [ i wish we didn't have to make them and nathaniel could make better in game adjustments smh]
again another finicky whistle
i want you to look at what happens when we rebound the ball vs when we do not rebound the ball. just as an exercise
i don't think you should get a foul from sticking your arms out and someone running in from your backside running into them, but that's just me
something that i've noticed also is that the refs call fouls on bg all the time, just for existing. like sorry she's setting a screen, or holding her hands straight up. just because she has a big strong body that's difficult to move doesn't mean it's a foul.
i did come into this game [i took one look at the schedule over break] thinking this was going to be a wash because of the circumstances. it's just unfortunate that it was winnable. and that if we shot better in the first half there would be no questions.
did you see in the first when dt palmed the ball to pick it up and give it to the ref?
ik we l*st but hey so did seattle and they weren't on 2 away back to backs playing a team in playoff contention
and they had 11 available players and only chose to play 9
meanwhile we had 8 and played all 8
speaking of back to back away games starting the first day back from olympic break with 3 olympic gold medalists? cathy hates us fr fr. that shouldn't even be allowed, regardless of olympian status.
we never have to play them again this season tg
i said this before we rly have to keep these techs under control . tho i do think the refs like to tech us just bc we're the merc. which is suspicious.
we rly were missing celeste tonight. i hope they have a plan to get her back [i believe that they do]
tash cloud 5/8 from 3
kah 18 points from the line, slides into *tied for 6th* for most free throws made in a game. and that's with several whistles not getting blown
the annoying thing about this game is that there were a couple of really bad turnovers. not intercepted pass turnovers but just possessions where we throw the ball away, out of bounds. complete miscommunication. and if we had kept those possessions and converted even half of them, the last few minutes would have played out very differently.
here's my fucking problem with the f*v*r
no one wants to be there [on a roster of 12, they have 5 lottery picks, four of whom they drafted]
their coach sucks- how do you blow a 30 point lead TWICE
their fanbase exists because of one person
and yet somehow they are still "w*nn*ng"
the org doesn't put any money into the organization and yet they still get asw because apparently they have "the most popular player"
they have an uggo court. and uggo jerseys. [but for the record i think all the red jerseys and grey courts are uggo. I don't discriminate. they just happen to have both.]
