#it’s lowkey kinda cool

[rosy-crow]

I took a nap and had a dream where we all discovered that the reason we haven’t known Hojo’s last name is because it’s revealed in an upcoming part of the story (like fs part 2 or something)….and it was fucking Masamune lmao.

Hojo Masamune.

And the sword belonged to his family. A bloodline heirloom that inherited their name. It was some haunted sword that had like…cursed the family or some shit and nobody could tame it. So it was locked away.

Until Sephiroth was sent to Wutai and Hojo CONVENIENTLY set him on the path to find it.

The dream got hazy from there and I don’t remember how Sephiroth found it, but I think the point was he tamed it, which meant that he “broke away from his family’s curse” by proving himself worthy. He wouldn’t use the sword with evil intent like his predecessors had because he was still ultimately pure-hearted.

And well, isn’t that some seriously fucked up irony 💀

Anyway, I’ll bet my subconscious retained these names below tho and that’s why Hojo’s last name was Masamune. I’ve looked up his name before and this historical regent and sword came up.

Pretty sure my brain mixed these two together.

Also, this would mean Sephiroth’s full name is…..Sephiroth Masamune…..which is WILD ajdhd

the appeal of star wars media is, primarily, having a protagonist who doesn't know fuck about shit

I’m just thinkin’ about 4.8 and just… Dani, Kyana and VR-LA man… the whole episode is just them showing how much they love and care about eachother.

Kyana’s “Let me fix this on my own so it doesn’t come back to hurt you” and “I’ll leave if it makes you safer” and “What do you mean you want me to stay?”

VR-LA’s “I need everyone safe and then I will make sure everyone is okay” and “I will follow you for as long as I can, and once I can’t I will look for you” and “I will talk to a god to find you, and then I will wait at a bench with my staff as a beacon for you to come home to” and “You are not a burden to me, and I will help you, but we don’t need to get our other friends hurt” and “We will leave if it makes you safer and happier” and “What do you want?”

Dani’s “I’m not letting you get yourself killed in a sick attempt to right past wrongs” and “I need to keep us safe” and “I don’t care if my life isn’t what I wanted, if we’re together” and “You aren’t burdens, you just need to talk to everyone” and “My life’s work is this ship, and you are part of that!”

I just have so many emotions

People accusing Shin of having no personality/characterization to dunk on her is so annoying... First of all, it's totally fine and normal to like a Star Wars character who hasn't gotten a canon personality yet (i.e. Darth Maul in Phantom Menace) based on their design / story / performance / vibes. It's normal for mysterious characters to exist, and it's normal for people to like those characters. But we do actually already know some cool stuff about Shin; she does have A Characterization and A Story even when the show is holding back with her.

I agree that for now there are many unknowns about her, and fans are having to speculate about her while we wait for the show to fill in the gaps and give us canon answers. (I agree that it would be nice to know more of what the showrunners undoubtably know but have kept hidden so far, like any information about her backstory at all. I am sure they are planning to explore more backstory in the next season, but it's a huge shame just bc Ray Stevenson can no longer be part of that exploration :( )

However, the information we do have about her is totally sufficient to make her cool and interesting. Imo.

"Baylan Skoll's feral, ruthless apprentice, who has a padawan braid, who is dark side-y enough that she seems eager for violence but still asks 'like me?' when Baylan is talking about Ezra being a Jedi." like yeah sorry that's all I need I'm sold! Sorry!

Seeing her make this facial expression before her first duel/encounter ever with another padawan:

Is enough for me! That's already something really interesting to work with! Or the dynamic between her and Baylan in this specific moment

For one moment he just suddenly beams fondness/pride at her and she seems so intense and excited when she bows back, as she goes off to try to murder some people. Then she gets so visibly upset later when Sabine tells Ahsoka to go get the map, thwarting the assignment she was given here of holding off the both of them.

That's an exciting and interesting master-padawan dynamic! I am going to be interested in Baylan Skoll's padawan who has this dynamic with Baylan Skoll as a foil to Ahsoka's relationship with Anakin and u Cannot Stop Me.

Sometimes I like to look at an actor's performance and observe what they seem to be feeling. Sometimes I like to wonder about things that have not yet been revealed to the audience, I find that an interesting experience... I am sorry that u cannot appreciate her Sublime & Unique Vibes....

The way she acts when she fights is part of her characterization! As with everyone in this show, her fighting style is designed and choreographed to be expressive of her character. The way she moves is expressive. She's so aggressive and excited and alive when she fights. That's information about who she is! It's fun information!

Look at this. Look at how she reacts when Baylan tells her to go up against Ahsoka Tano's ex-apprentice.

I admit I cannot tell u with 100% certainty what she is canonically feeling in this moment, but whatever it is she is feeling it SO INTENSELY. The fact that she reacts like this is interesting information about her character, bc every single conceivable explanation for why she is emoting this way is interesting and cool!

She seems kinda excited. She seems to find it significant and momentous. That's fun. We don't know why she feels this way, but it's too late she is already interesting sorry

Sorry for observing the facial expressions that a character makes and learning things about them that way

It's annoying that the show hasn't taken the time to reveal more things about her yet I agree but why are you being mean 2 her... Having mysterious characters is normal Star Wars procedure :/

Like yes we all know this is not Andor, the writing is not always brimming with deft characterization, that's a shame, but that doesn't mean the show hasn't given us a lot of interesting canon building blocks to work with.

tl:dr this is a skill issue and I love her very much

It's honestly kind of funny coming from the silmarillion fandom... some people simply know how to appreciate cool and unique characters based on limited information.

I’m pretty sure this is a hot take/unpopular opinion in the Toffee fandom, but I’ve never been the fan of the theory/assumption that Toffee was framed for Comet’s death

I fully admit that the plot point was most likely thrown in there to completely demonize him in the eyes of the audience and make us sympathize with Moon (making his death more “deserved” (HEAVY airquotes) for general audiences), and it does feel random and out of character, but when you think about it, it does make sense why he’d be the culprit. You have to dig but he has at least two canon supported reasons for why he’d kill Comet Butterfly.

Now this isn’t commentary about if Toffee is taking orders from Seth, that’s a whole other conversation, but this is simply about the theory that Toffee didn’t have any part in her death (someone else did it) and he’s innocent of all charges.

I completely empathize with the theory, especially because the show demonizes him so much already and it’s just another scoop to add to the pile of “evil” he’s been boiled down to by the show, but Toffee was no doubt in my mind the one who made that blow on Comet.

And he’s SO fucking proud of himself too

“Hello Princess” HE LITERALLY GIVES MOON SUCH A SASSY LOW BLOW.
