the reason qimir never let mae see his face (as the stranger/sith) is because she needed a strong authoritative figure to latch onto (and possibly project a parental role onto). osha, though, already had something like that within the jedi order— something she chose to reject. thus, qimir had to present himself in a way that contrasted all the jedi ideals osha grew up internalizing. he’s attempting to draw her in through her need of deep emotional/personal connection. he brought her into his home, treated her as a guest, and reminisced to her about their shared past. he is attempting a literal seduction to the dark side. in this essay i will—

I feel like we haven’t discussed how debilitating and jarring it would be to have 16 YEARS worth of memories ripped away from you in seconds. The last thing Mae remembers is being 8 years old; imagine being 8 and waking up in the body of a 24 year old. Imagine living with your moms and suddenly you’re an adult and everyone you’ve ever known is dead.

Does Mae have to relearn everything that was taken from her??? How to pilot a ship? How to swim? How to cook for herself? I don’t think we’ve grasped how devastating this is.

I got a Mae figure!!!!! I’ve been waiting to get her until I had some spare money and she happened to go on sale around the time I did so I bought her cute self. ​She’s quite tiny, but that just means she’s pocket sized; also, the figure is fairly detailed despite it’s size (coming from someone who’s read about the costume designers decisions with her character).

Osha thought that her entire family died, that her sister who was usually very loving towards her taking care of her and all, wanted to kill her. She's grappling with these intense emotions of grief and sorrow... while growing up in the jedi order. There's a scene where Osha remembers them saying she's too emotional, if I remember correctly. I come to the conclusion that the jedi were trying to train Osha to not be sad or angry, to be a jedi, and that's why when we meet Osha as an adult she seems to be emotionally repressed. She was with the jedi order for 10 whole years and she failed, she didn't get to become a real jedi, so what does she do? She deliberately takes a dangerous job (a job that is illegal because of how dangerous it is) that might get her killed. This is not an emotionally healthy decision, I would say. As a contrast, Mae seems perfectly fine expressing emotions as an adult, she expresses anger, happiness, love, fear. She jokes around sometimes, even when she's serious she seems emotional. Those are healthy emotions. Did you see the difference when Mae is scared vs when Osha is scared? Did you see it?? Mae is TERRIFIED she runs and hides and screams! I thought it was weird that Maes plan is to turn herself in to the jedi, but when Jecki is trying to capture her she's resisting and screaming as if she's panicking. The difference is that she just learned that her "master" is there with them and he wants to kill her. She doesn't have time to be detained, she's terrified!

Osha? She stands still and "faces" the thing that scares her, completely silent. We see her get scared, it seems that she's scared of a lot of things, but every time she responds to the fear by being still and silent. The bugs. The weird masked person walking towards her menacingly. Being stoic could be a good thing, but Osha isn't deliberately choosing to face her fears and be stoic, she's doing it because she has been taught not to feel her emotions, to supress them. Even when Sol yells at her to run, she can't.

This is not a difference between being weak/scared and being brave. We know Osha gets scared. She doesn't stand still with her eyes wide open because she's so brave, she does it because she was trained (deliberately or by accident) for 10 years to supress all intense emotions even if it's not healthy for her. This isn't a difference in bravery, it's a difference in how free the twins are in showing their emotions, it's a difference in upbringing.
