It’s baffling how so many people in this fandom have fully deluded themselves into thinking that Daenerys will burn down king’s landing when that’s not only completely unsupported by the text but also fundamentally misinterprets Dany as a character and the narrative as a whole.
Many people argue that Dany will burn down the city because the people of KL will prefer Aegon over her. This is an argument already built on shaky ground because this is an assumption that requires us to believe that Dany will even go to battle with Aegon. A claim which frankly, has very little basis in the actual story. A lot of fans latch onto GRRM mentioning a second dance of dragons, but they completely disregard his clarification that such conflict does not necessarily involve an invasion from Dany (I personally think it’ll be between her and Euron but that’s a topic for another day). And secondly, unlike HBO’s adaptation, to book!dany, family is important and she feels sad at the idea of being the last Targaryen. She wouldn’t go to war against her own family.
And the timeline for this is dubious at best and utterly fucking moronic at worst. The assumption that she will arrive in Westeros in time to confront a reigning Aegon overlooks the long journey she still faces in Essos. There is a lot of groundwork that GRRM laid that shows us her journey there is far from over. Essos is an insanely vast continent, moving through it will consume a lot of time and resources and events will continue to unfold in Westeros independently of her, just as they have in the 5 novels we have available.
And the belief that Dany will be rejected by the people of Westeros in favour of Aegon is another assumption that has absolutely no base in text. Aegon, as we’ve seen in Dance, is very far from being an ideal ruler, he’s shown as unlikeable and unfit to rule, with Tyrion even comparing him to Joffrey. Also the belief that Aegon’s reign will be peaceful and/or that he will be beloved is equally flawed. Westeros still is a fractured, war-torn continent with further conflicts still ahead. He has many potential enemies, his ascension will most likely provoke even more conflict, not universal love and butterflies. The claim that he’ll be a good king comes from Varys, who is the key mastermind behind all this and as the text has repeatedly shown us, and Varys is hardly reliable.
Why would the people of Westeros chose a potentially illegitimate Targaryen when all they have is his word that he is who he is (literally source: dude trust me) over a Targaryen with dragons who has Barristan the Bold with her and who has a history of ruling already, is ridiculous.
And onto my final point, the idea that Dany would just decide to burn a city to the ground because the people don’t like her is a fundamental misunderstanding of her character. Throughout ASOIAF she has been shown as a ruler who cares deeply about people, and to whom justice is important. The whole mad queen dany bs relies heavily on illogical plot developments and a version of Dany’s character that exists nowhere but in a season of Game of Thrones that was mocked by the entire world.

The Archetypes of Red Rose, White Rose
I need to balance my brain out due to sudden onset of depression. It is the result. Rommel is probably the only general who, even if you draw him from the back, he's still recognizable- flowers, a camera, and love for beauty. Rommel has a Venus-Mercury conjunct with a direct Neptune influence; he is going to appreciate artistic expressions.
In fact, this colored-doodle with an unintentional Mucha vibe has the energy of his wife Lucy in mind. According to some sources, Rommel wrote home to Lucy daily, as it was reported to be his mental crutch- I imagine it to be transcendental emotional support, not unlike my own experience, my own relationship with our Tumblr community here. Whether you guys interact with me directly or not, you keep me alive. My sincere thanks to you.
Lucy was a formal dancer in Danzig with a decent middle-class background, her father seemed to be a land owner- Lucy being able to do art, probably added to his admiration for her- fellow artists, angelic companionship.
I suppose he did need emotional supports, and a lot of it-- Rommel is the only high commander with whom Kessering "the smiling Albert" did not get along-- which is a feat. After all, Kessering was very renowned for his exceedingly cordial and diplomatic temperament. The same could be said of von Rundstedt, the calm, gentlemanly, old Prussian field marshal. These two could put up with some bad BS from any one else, except Rommel. He was too intense, too mentally off-balance, too difficult to deal with for his colleagues.
There are a few things I noticed from Rommel's biography (including the Trail of the Fox, 2005), that allow me to make some observations. His love for Lucy appears to be non-sexual. They had their only son 12 years after marriage. That is a pretty long time, not customary with a Scorpio man who has a 8th house Mars (who is supposed to have at least above average sex drive).
As a matter of fact, Rommel had a daughter with Walburga Stemmer before his marriage with Lucy was finalized. At that point Rommel’s family felt the need to step in and strong-armed him back with his fiancée-- one reason being to prevent the young lieutenant from the pitfalls of sex and alcohol. In my humble opinion, the subtext here might be Lucy would not lead him astray in that regard, therefore his conservative family would rather have him marrying Lucy.
A side note, Stemmer family still holds a collection of hopelessly romantic letters from Rommel. Did Rommel write comparable letters to Lucy at that point in time? A bit hard to tell.
I could not recall which article comments that Rommel was "hen-pecked' in the household, but Lucy was dominant at home, that part had been very true.
Ouch, I don't know, some aspects of this living environment must've been toxic to Rommel no matter how much some folks wants to romanticize it. It is horrible to be in a friend group where there's a mean girl boss who takes pride in ruling over her husband and turning any girl who crosses her into a persona-non-grata. But I digress. Back to my title.
Nevertheless, for me, Lucy being archetypal White Rose still holds water as a concept.
The Red Rose- White Rose archetypes originated from the same-titled short novel by Zhang Ailing, one of the 20th century's greatest female writers. She depicts love's tragedies as Chin dynasty fell apart and China marched into an era of post-colonialism, world war II, civil wars and partisan conflicts-- and eventually, modernity.
White rose is your ideal wife, the guardian of your family's social standing. She is angelic, she seems docile, she reminds you that you are from a place of honor and integrity, not of seedy backgrounds and carnal desires. White rose kills love by loving you, by being stable, by calming you down whenever you freak out. Very slowly, she castrates you, she brings you home to domesticate you.
The Red Rose symbolizes those dark desires, a black hole that sucks you in to have sex with you, a fragrant bed, a sex dungeon you do not have the will power to claw yourself out of. Red rose loves you by conquering you, destroying you and everything you represent and cherish with triumphant strides. Very quickly Red rose tears you down, burns all your bridges, until you are beyond recognition, until you are flesh, blood, fire and desire, a literal mess.
It is implied in Ailing's novel that men invariably choose the White Rose, because they are human, all too human. Marrying her, he regrets it; not marrying her, he regrets it even more. Such is love's tragedy in the face of humanity, and tragedy is the only inevitability in Ailing's universe. That's why I pull Lucy in as a faint through-line in my Montgomery x Rommel fanfics... not that I am going to write any more, I don't think so.
And yes, Red Rose is synonymous with Bernard Montgomery, in my fandom brain's humble opinion.
I know I am weird.

What are some advice you give to a young communist?
Hit the gym.
Delete time-waster social media (Facebook, Instagram, etc.) - organize face-to-face with real people. A bit of political discourse online is fine.
Arm yourself. Get guns, and learn how to shoot them. Don't get museum items because "Mosins are cool" or some nonsense, get whatever combat-worthy AR and sidearm is a military standard in your geographic region, depending on where you are that's probably something like an M16, G36, AK-12, or AK-47.
Organize with trustworthy individuals. In case of civil war or anti-socialist genocide, you need people you can rely on (and the reactionaries WILL eventually come for people like us in the West, capitalists never give up without a fight).
Organize a meeting point where you will meet your comrades in case of conflict.
Get good military-grade or better marching/combat boots and always have a full bug-out bag ready. Long-lasting rations for at least a few days, water filter/purification equipment, first aid kit, sleeping equipment, heat blanket, tinder and mechanical lighter, tarp, basic tools like knife, are, rope, etc. (try and stay below 10kg weight without water, add as much water as you can comfortably carry). Do regular training marches with your simulated backpack (10km with 10kg of weight minimum).
Study how to organize at work and build a mutual aid network. Help found unions.
Focus hard on education. The better educated you are the better.
Society is not ready for revolution, yet. So, get a great career that makes money. Yes, participating in capitalism is good, actually. Become as rich and powerful as possible. Make use of all the tools capitalism gives you. Preferably find a collectively owned business but don't be shy about participating in capitalism. Use the power and money you gain along the way to fund and support revolutionaries.
Always remember: It is not your personal responsibility to change the world or jeopardize your own wellbeing by acting according to ideals nobody else shares. As long as you don't personally stand in the way of revolution, your priority should be bettering your own life. Societal change can only be achieved at a societal level, personal responsibility is a liberal myth. Lead the best life you can while promoting socialism.
I know that some of this sounds like paranoid prepper bs and LARPing and will continue to feel like LARPing the entire time until the revolution starts but if you are a revolutionary communist you need to be ready... this is part of any revolution.
Know these "funny" videos where right-wingers stand in a line and make Nazi salutes then "train" by doing 10 push-ups before falling over wheezing, then trying to march in a line completely out of tune with each other while some skinny guy with a swastika tattooed on his face is swinging an SS flag? Yeah, those idiotic-looking guys are more organized more disciplined, and more committed than the overwhelming majority of self-proclaimed Marxist-Leninists in the West.

Tadaima, Okaeri Episode 6 Review - Visiting Masaki's Hometown
I noticed that out of all the episodes so far, this one is the first instance where Hikari takes a backseat. He’s usually a part of the family as his own character, solving family issues with his toddler logic. However, the conflict for this episode is something that adults can only resolve, hence why Hikari and Hinata are mainly background characters for this episode. I think it’s nice to see an episode giving insight to the parents for once, to be honest.
It’s nice seeing Hiromu conflicted over Masaki wanting to return to his hometown as he knew that it always troubled his spouse even before they were married. What Hiromu wants is to not let Masaki get hurt, but he’s doing his best to not be too overbearing as he knows and respects Masaki as a strong-willed person. It really shows how much he loves and respects him. The birthday episode was a good way to show off Hiromu’s worries and admiration of his spouse. The way he was caressing his hand and telling him that he wouldn’t forgive anyone who hurts him was way too romantic. Hiromu is seriously raising the standards of ideal husbands and fathers.
Masaki’s cousin Kazuhiko is introduced here. He has a bit of an attitude problem yet he works for the hospitality industry. Sir, your attitude is unfitting for someone who works for this line of work. Anyways, Kazuhiko seems to be someone who cannot get over his own prejudices and biases out of his head. Ever since he was young, he was forced into the idea that Masaki was miserable and tragic, hence he was sort of forced to watch over him, which also lead to the verbal engagement. Given that he always believed that Masaki would always be miserable, the idea that he has a family and is currently happy cannot get to him. He’s being overprotective since Masaki married an alpha and had to endure even more prejudices due to his marriage to the point of being way too overbearing and that upsets Masaki. While there might be implications that he had feelings for Masaki, I see it more like Kazuhiko sees him as an obligation that he cannot get over. He’s obliged in his belief that Masaki will always be miserable no matter what life choices he makes and the idea of him being happy is something futile.
To play devil’s advocate, I also think Masaki was in the wrong for not contacting his relatives. I get that living in his hometown was suffocating for him and that not returning meant running away, but suddenly contacting family one day and telling them that you got married and have two kids would be a shock to anyone. Though, despite that, it’s still wrong to treat the sudden changes in Masaki’s life poorly. He’s happier with Hiromu than he was in his hometown. There’s no reason to continue treating Masaki as someone who can never be happy because of that. There’s also a reason why Masaki wanted to bring his family, especially his husband, after trying to hide them away from his relatives for so long. Hiromu was right to call out Kazuhiko on his BS.
Yuuki and Matsuo tag along in their trip. The reason they were invited was so that Masaki can show his parents that he is very happy now. He has a loving husband, two adorable kids and friends who accept him as he is. I’m amazed with how Yuuki got mad and yelled at Kazuhiko for his harsh words. Since his debut, Yuuki is reserved and shy around people so for him to muster up all that frustration and yell at him shows how much Masaki means to him as a friend. After all, he did say that he loves the Fujiyoshi family in Episode 3 and always wants them to be happy. The little MatsuYuu moments were cute too with Matsuo distracting Yuuki with snacks to him holding Yuuki back after his outburst.
The voice acting was really great here. Kazuhiko is voiced by Junta Terashima, who also voiced him in the drama CD. The way Kazuhiko was soft-spoken at first but then gradually raises his voice was really good. Yuuki’s voice actor Taku Yashiro really delivered that outburst so well. It’s so in-character with Yuuki with how his words are a bit shaky but still angry nonetheless. Morikawa also did a great job with the softer voice at first and then the way his tone became angrier at the end was good. This anime really has a great cast.
Speaking of which, there’s a little interesting detail you might not have noticed. Kazuhiko’s surname is Ogiwara. His father is Masaki’s uncle, who is his mother’s brother, yet Masaki’s maiden name was Ogiwara. If his mother had married a man, Masaki’s surname wouldn’t be Ogiwara, but the name that his mother would’ve taken since wives take the husbands surname in marriage; it’s only a rare occasion that a husband takes the wife’s surname. Since his maiden name was Ogiwara, this means that his mother’s surname was still Ogiwara even after marriage, meaning that she either married a man who took her surname, which is rare, especially for the countryside, or she married a woman who gave birth to Masaki and that woman took her surname. As someone who read the manga, mentions of Masaki having a father has never been brought upon. I once saw a post with the implications that Masaki’s parents are both female and it is implied here with how Kazuhiko says “Oba-san tachi”. Though, take my words with a grain of salt.
Unlike the conflict with Kouji, the conflict with Kazuhiko is a two-parter. I do like that it’s not resolved in just one episode. It isn’t a bad thing, but sometimes, it takes time to resolve issues between relatives. This time, Masaki has to muster up the courage to tell Kazuhiko that he’s happy now. I can’t wait to see how it’ll be played out next week. What are your thoughts on this episode?

OMG HI! 🤩 Are you taking writing commissions?! Can I be added to a commission waiting list if you have one for a soft-pining between Plo-Koon and a Jedi!Reader? I’m talking like fluffiest fluff you can muster! Maybe them being like parents to their battalions! The forbidden attraction because of old Jedi rules 🥺
P.S: You are so right! None of this bs wouldn’t have happed if he didn’t bite the dust 😭

Plo Koon X GN!JediReader
word count: 2.6k
Both being the greatest Jedi they can be to their Battalion, it’s no surprise that the kindness shared between you both brings you closer and maybe just maybe, makes things a little risky.
warnings: none, fluff! Minor mention of injury & death to Clones, forbidden romance trope, mutual pining. Ngl, not overly proud of this as I feel it’s a little rushed and messy. It was better in my head. I’m losing my touch.

The Medbay was often a horrible place for any person or sentient to visit and no matter how many visits General Plo attends, it is never any easier.
The last mission was a success but with so many casualties. His respect for his Battalion grows each passing second and has come to care about each man individually but at what cost? Another win yet it seemed like they were no step closer to beating the Separatist threat.
“I am here for CC-3636.” Plo speaks to one of the droids that maintained care for those who were taken in, hating using his Commander's designated number rather than his preferred name.
“Right this way. His condition is stable.”
Plo stays silent, walking down the painfully white halls of the Kaminoan facility towards one of the bays. Though deep in his thoughts, something stops him.
As if something had shoved on his chest and commanded him to stop, his head turned to look into an empty room. Well, aside from two beings in the right hand corner.
There’s a clone on the bed, no colour to their armor aside from the stark white and shiny new armor and a presence beside them. Their back was to him but he was certain that they were Jedi. That Jedi being you, someone who he still has not been formally introduced to though he had heard things. Many great things in fact.
Slowly, he turns and looks into a room opposite, busier than the others but still no other Jedi present. If he were to hazard a guess, he would confirm that the only two Jedi here were just the pair of you. All these men injured, yet it seemed that only you two had cared.
He sighs to himself, knowing he should not think ill of the other Jedi as he was well aware that most have care for their troops but clearly, maybe just not as much as him and yourself.
“Just this way Master Jedi.” The AZI droid speaks up, snapping Plo out of his doubting thoughts and proceeds to move on along. But as he leaves, you look over your shoulder and feel a shift in the Force. A Jedi was present and although curious to who it could be, you focus on your trooper and wait for him to wake up.
———-
“Anakin is growing stronger and courageous each day though I fear there is conflict within him.” Obi-Wan speaks softly as he walks alongside Plo.
The Kel Dor sensed his friend and colleagues troubles and opted to walk with him and try to clear his mind. “Your padawan is headstrong and a fine Jedi. Little Soka is becoming the ideal Jedi too because of him. Trust in him Obi-Wan and soon you will see everything will play out smoothly.”
Walking out into the courtyard, conversation changing to something more cheerful rather than Obi-Wan’s worrying woes, the two of them took in the calming air.
“Ah, look who is over there.” Kenobi points to the center of the courtyard, over by The Great Tree.
Plo looks in the direction and as if by an instant, he recognised you to be the Jedi on Kamino a few rotations ago. Your robes were breezing around your body, a content expression on your face.
“You haven’t met them yet, have you?” Kenobi asks, already getting ready to walk on over but like before, something pushed against him and his feet find their way walking over to you.
“No.” He answered him.
“Well, let me introduce you.”
Kenobi says your name aloud, catching your attention and as you turn, there’s a strange feeling in the Kel Dor’s stomach. He had not expected you to appear so youthful as you appeared wise beyond your years.
“General, what do I owe the pleasure?” You smile warmly to your friend, eyes flickering between the human male and then to Kel Dor beside him.
“Nothing at all, just thought I would introduce you to Master Plo Koon. I don’t think you two have worked together.”
When you look at him your eyes are full of intrigue and interest as you bore into the mask on his face. “No, I don’t believe we have.” You take a step closer and extend a hand. “Pleased to meet you.”
His hands or talons so to speak, reach out to you and gently clutches at the softness of your skin. His touch is surprisingly warm and enough to send chills down your arms but luckily, your robes hid the bumps. When he says your name you feel an odd sensation. A sensation as if you would want him to repeat it over and over again.
“And you. I see you find calmness in The Great Tree?” He pulls his arm back, digits leaving yours and you try to ignore how cold you suddenly felt. What was happening? Were you feeling unwell? You push the thoughts back for the time being and focus back on his question.
“Yes, I find it beautiful.” You say softly, turning to look at the leaves that bristled in the soft wind. “We’re definitely lucky to have one in our midst due to its rarity.”
There was something about you that Plo was fascinated by. Your voice was a soft and calming presence and there seemed to be no heavy grief on your shoulders. He was internally thankful that Kenobi had parted ways with you both and took the opportunity to get to know you more.
Respectfully, he had asked of your homeworld and family and listened with great interest at whatever you had to say. You also made sure to include him too and would ask questions about how the war is fairing for him and if he had any worries which reminded him:
“If you recall, I remember seeing you on Kamino though I didn’t make myself known.” He begins to walk alongside you and as you take small and slow steps, his large ones go down to a minimum.
At least the question in your mind of which Jedi had seen you that day was answered and a small smile crept onto your lips. “I thought I felt a spectre close by. You have a very warm presence in the Force.” Although you spoke calmly, there was no denying that there was a small hesitance in your mind and sincerely hoped you had not said anything too outrageous after just meeting him.
“That is kind of you to say.” He nods, genuinely appreciating your gentle words. “I hope that trooper you were seeing made a full recovery?”
“Oh yes,” you smile softly “Jammy, as I so named him, has made a speedy recovery. He got badly wounded on our last mission and I really thought he wouldn’t make it out this time.”
“This time?”
You roll your eyes a little playfully. “Hence the name. He’s been in that Medbay more times than I can count. He’s a lucky one.”
Plo smiles, noticing how affectionate you are when it comes to talking about the Clones. It was a nice relief to see one having respect for them after all they do for the GAR. It was rather refreshing.
“Who were you going to see?” You turn your head to look up at him. He chuckles softly and tells you about Wolffe, a trust Commander and the name just so happens to ring a bell.
“Wolffe,” you repeat his name, pausing, “I don’t suppose he is the Commander of the 104th? Making you their General?”
“Yes, why do you ask?” He stops with you and you find yourself blushing as you notice just how close he stood beside you, slowly moving to stand in front.
“I believe that I am joining you and your entourage in the next following days, on Aleen?” You ask hopefully and that strange sudden hope that you had was a little dangerous.
He hums a small chuckle but shakes his head. “Not me, but I’m sure my men will be a great addition in my absence.”
You tried to not look disappointed but the way he tilts his head at you makes you think that maybe he knew. “I’ll be happy to work with them, General.”
“Please,” he says softly and with enough grace places a hand to your shoulder, “call me Plo.”
————-
The relationship you had with Plo only grew from then on. Coincidentally (or not) the two of you would often find yourselves walking the halls of the Temple together but there was something not quite right.
Just now, your conversation with Plo was innocent and had you both laughing but as you passed a small group of maybe three members of the order, they were eyeing you both up suspiciously. At first you thought nothing of it but the stares lingered and then whispers would begin. You wondered if Plo had seen it too but for now, he said nothing.
When he walked you to your room, there was a small moment just outside your door. You were wishing him a restful sleep but the Kel Dor, almost unnaturally reached out and gently pushed a strand of hair away from your face. Your eyes widen, a blush creeping up your neck and you thank him quietly. He smiles a little and nods his head. “Sleep well, little one.”
The nickname was new and Maker it made you feel airy and light.
A week or two had passed and your heart that had been so full was heavy. You were back on Kamino and your chest tightened as you watched the AZI droids cover not one, not two but at least seven of your men with white sheets. The mission, although successful, left a sour taste in your mouth as you stayed in the Medbay, overlooking your fallen troops.
When the door behind you hissed open however, just by the thought of being with someone who you knew to be Plo, your emotions took over. You raised a hand to your face and quickly swept away a stray tear, turning to face your friend.
“Afternoon Plo.”
Although you could not see it, there is grief behind the mask as he crosses the threshold to you. “Come, little one… let us find somewhere else to talk.”
The nickname would have been lovely if not for the environment but alas you listened and followed after him with your head bowed. For the first time in a while, you both walked in silence until he found a quiet room for you both to sit in.
He gestures to a spot beside him and as you sit, you let out a heavy sigh.
“Your thoughts are wild and understandably so. Is there anything I can do to give you comfort?” His modulated voice was soft and gentle, just like the man he was. You knew that he knows just how hard losing men can be and it never gets any easier. For you, you make bonds with your men. Attachments so to speak, something forbidden within the Order. The thought of being careless to them made you angry and you knew some Jedi would not bat an eyelid. So as your fists tighten by your sides, there is no surprise that Plo had gently taken one of your hands and whispered, “At ease, they wouldn’t want to see you upset.”
That afternoon, you didn’t say much but you didn’t need to. Plo stayed by your side and as you felt yourself getting weary, he had let you rest upon his shoulder, even if it’s just for a few minutes.
Another week passed and another week of your feelings being a mangled mess. It was clear now that feelings had started to bloom between yourself and Plo. On your part, anyway. There is conflict within you and something tells you to back away and get a hold of yourself but that was a little impossible to do when your men had made jokey passing comments to you.
“What was that Trooper?” You turn to him with an amused gleam in your eyes, glad to see how at ease they were with you when he replies if you’re thinking about going to see the ‘Wolfpacks dad’. You snorted, dismissing him playfully but there was something in the back of your mind that was tickling your senses. Was it obvious to them that there was something there? Is that why the Jedi had been keeping a watchful eye on you both. Surely if they knew, Plo would know. This piques your curiosity even more.
That evening, you had decided to stay away from Plo purely because you did not understand these feelings yourself yet. Though, naturally, you both found yourselves in each other’s company.
You’re along one of the balconies back in the Temple when Plo had arrived.
“I didn’t think you would be here.” His voice made you jump a little, your mind so deep in force you didn’t even sense his overpowering presence.
“And why is that?” You poke at his thoughts as he stands beside you, overlooking the city below.
“This is where I often come to ponder my thoughts - something I find myself doing a lot more lately.”
Your body gets tingly at his words, heart racing a little faster. This could either be a good thing, a bad thing, or both. “Something on your mind?”
He stays silent for a few moments, his thoughts conflicted for the first time in a while. He was often quick, wise and brave but he felt the opposite now. Especially with you by his side.
“It is more someone than it is something.”
There it was. You just knew it was about you, or so you certainly had hoped unless he has someone else in his life he has kept quiet about. Words can not even string together but luckily, he does the talking. “My men, they like to talk shall we say about our relationship.”
You freeze. Relationship? Was there even one aside from friendship? “I see.”
Plo looks down at the railing, seeing your hands nervously strum along it and hoping he had read the last few rotations correctly, he quietly placed his hand over yours, talons very gently caressing into your warm skin. “Is this okay little one?” He whispers in your ear and you shudder a small gasp before nodding.
“Plo, what if someone sees us?”
“I must admit I am point the past of caring. I can not help who I admire, and that is you little one.” Plo is watching you carefully but when a small smile flicks onto your lips and your turn to face him, you carefully rest your hand upon his.
“Me too,” you sigh softly, “but I fear this may impact our place in the Order.”
Gently, his other hand comes down to your waist and turns you to face him fully. His hand leaves yours and places it to the side of your face as he looks adoringly into your eyes. “Like I said, I am past the point of caring. I can not stand to believe that we are to shut ourselves out of anything and not be deemed as a Jedi. I trust you feel the same?”
Without hesitation, you fall into his chest. Arms wrapping around his lean and tall frame, Plo wastes no time in reciprocating the gesture. “Of course I feel the same Plo… ever since I met you I could not help but-.”
“Fall for one another.” He finishes off for the both of you.
You’re both elated, glad that the mutual feelings were out in the open but for what is to happen next is uncertain. But what you both did know is that you would both pick one another over any stupid rule. Together, you will treat your own men with the love and dignity they deserve and if yours has to be a secret, so be it.
As long as you’re with him.

Request:
Could someone starts a tumblr blog that just posts concise Lukola news briefing each day please? A couple of bullet points would do, plus links or media.
I’m seriously getting burnt out from reading lengthy discussion posts. They are interesting to read but there are now too many those that reading one more does not really change much of how I see things.
I have limited time to devote my attention to this fandom, and I don’t really care if the major fan accounts are beefing or what the trolls are saying, why do I need to know about them because it makes no difference?
It is exhausting to have to filter through all of this nonsense just to keep up with Nic and Luke. Great respect to people who spend hours creating these dialogues and stalking the internet so they know what they are talking about.
Unfortunately, the fandom is going around in circle, creating conflicts and dramas among itself due to the serious lack of actual Lukola content.
If only I could pop in just five minutes daily to read a quick briefing before signing off again to avoid all BS 🤭. Yeah that would be ideal!
Anyway, I’m bored. Nic Luke please stops being in love for a bit to entertain me!!

(EVERY TIME) I THINK OF FREEDOM
I
High on the banks where some beasts bore into the gravel still,
Searching for oil and gold and red-colored emeralds,
There was born an ideal that promised change
(To our still cyclical, stagnating world)—
With hopes for a future where things could lie broken, and that'd be that,
Where we'd see the patterns and remember them well.
But this ideal is faded, abused,
Misconstrued and spoken ill of,
Beaten dead, its face grown horselike.
The culprits’ suns rise at large, content with themselves,
Praising surnames, anointing each other with rustic airs
To seem charming to kingly sons,
Whose crowns were forged in that same gravel bank.
II
Freedom is an elusive energy,
Forged in flames of fights for things you'll never fully grasp.
Liberty is still impossible for many.
America stuck around, I suppose,
Through innumerable missteps, years, errors,
Atrocities, tragedies, attacks, cancers,
Lapses, eclipses, and the changing of hands.
Money is here. Spend it how you like—you can’t take it with you.
III
Twenty score years ago, none like us were here.
No airports, no cars, not even a train.
Not even horses, barely a road—
Just families, communities, conflict for sure.
But none of this DC democracy,
Oligarchy, God-blessed America BS.
No yogurt companies lobbying the FDA.
No three-letter acronyms killing Mister President.
No CDC covering up plagues.
Nothing like that—just death and dung, food and digesting.
Look around Hartsfield-Jackson on Christmas Day.
Take a bus to your terminal,
Take a tram to your gate.
Travel at 500 miles per hour.
How long is a mile?
How long is an hour?
1/24th of the sun circling the earth.
Will we outpace the sun?
Opened your gifts yesterday—Whitman, Eliot, Plath,
Chaucer, WB Yeats.
Brought them to Puerto Rico.
Planned Savannah, Georgia.
Pretty much the same either way.
IV
The common coquí above the Airbnb tree,
Sings its inflated cry, then laughs in glory.
Ring around the rosie, ashes to ashes,
Scarlet fever upon our flag—red, white, blue, golden fringes.
Within Thomas Jefferson’s slave quarters,
There were many bastard sons and daughters.
Within Fidel Castro’s mansions,
Countless Americans rested.
In Osama Bin Laden’s home,
They shot and killed all his children.
God bless America, God bless America.
We need you now, more than ever.

bein' completely honest here i have considered npd shu be4 soooo often cause the. the shoe fits (laugh please), i feel like his past & family environment cld really serve as a push, in the end cluster Bs r all jus' sets of survival & coping tactics ya adopt into yr personality as a result of unjust treatment & trauma <- this is true
nawt 2 armchair diagnose him but like we shall go over sum npd traits. cause we kno here it ain't jus' high self esteem (when the opposite is usually evident)
↓↓↓
intentionally or nawt i feel like exvalk shu especially fits the npd mold like dat was his entire character conflict /lh (i miss him)
> a grandiose sense of self-importance
need i say anythin'. listen 2 like the first shu voiceline in ! it was literally 'i am the emperor of ymnsk academy'. .. doesn't he also go as far as 2 declare himself the god of this world? like ''kono sekai no kami da' i remember dat. oh & how much stronger & imposin' his timbre was compared 2 how much softer his voice is rn. he was very much self-focused even though it manifested thru valkyrie, he was distinctly treatin' the unit as his creation & his own creation only. the focus on the self is very real
> a preoccupation with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
i feel like if ya know shu ya will nod away at every single one of these cause. pre-fall valk <- dat wasn' even a fantasy, i feel like he was really narc-thrivin' back then cause it was the reality, they WERE on top. (srry if ya came here 4 thorough analysis i don' do that round here i jus' show ya smth & we both nod solemnly) success, power, brilliance, beauty, even ideal love (shnz wink?) - exvalk shu is both a perfectionist & a maximalist i think he craved it all, an' even when he has achieved great success he jus' can't get enuff, leadin' him 2 get overconfident 2 the point where he was /dat/ oblivious 2 his own (& valkyrie's, but at dat time he saw valkyrie as himself only, & the rest as just an extension, a tool) imminent demise practically laid out in front of him.
> a belief that he or she is special and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people or institutions
this guy?
the guy who calls the general public philistines & views ppl who don' adhere 2 the same high standards he holds 4 himself imbeciles?
> a need for excessive admiration
the 'go on, praise me more!' guy? it might seem at first like he'd b too prideful 2 outright ask 4 external validation but if ya really look a bit into it, he's very reliant on it.. i think it gets amplified by bein' an idol too, bein' very self conscious of yr image. ofc mr oshisan wld find himself in a field where the entire point is 2 b the center of attention & appraisal.
> a sense of entitlement
i think this jus' circles back 2 every other point i made...!!!! exvalk shu is control & acknowledgment hungry. he wants 2 step on n crush the skulls of every1 who is unworthy & soar thru the skies on the mechanical wings of valkyrie.. or wtv. he is intensely focused on his goal 2 the point of tunnel vision cause he fully believes himself 2 deserve the throne. no1 else can b above him. he despises 'commoners' & those below him yet who brought him all the recognition & glory? wats the expression? rest on yr laurels? dunno if 'm usin' it correctly!!!
i also hope i don' come off as dramatisin' too much. like ik marionette is literally jus' one story but i feel it dat much stronger, i guess. 4 (introject) reasons. i hope these things don' read as a huge stretch.
> interpersonally exploitive behavior
> a lack of empathy
> envy of others or a belief that others are envious of him or her
gettin' lazy. i feel like this cld jus' b self explanatory... i don' wanna go in depth into every single one 4 shu, esp cuz. ya don' need every single criteria 2 match. 4 a diagnosis. but if ya have any specific moments 4 this one feel free 2 add on 👍🏼
> a demonstration of arrogant and haughty behaviors or attitudes
#mika caws#srry like half of these r me goin' 'well it's self explanatory' but it rly is. cause i know him personally.#an' likr all of ya kno him closely too. i don' need 2 wrte an essay. we all kno it's true.#but also i feel da need 2 mention the self esteem bit cuz i feel like its a stereotype dat those with npd have jus'. an unshakable solid#high self esteem which is why they behave & carry themselves da way they do. which is nawt even half of da truth!#while yehs usually 'high' it tends 2 b very fragile cause the things they rely on 2 upkeep it r all said factors like#specifically external validation. individuals w npd tend 2 b deeply insecure n self loathin' too & struggle w low self esteem as well#idk if the high self esteem bein' described as like a 'mask' or a false front is veryyyy correct in the case of npd#i ain't sure how pw/npd feel ab it either so hey if any1 come across it feel free 2 input#but yea i feel like dat bit of nuance is important esp when ya look at exvalk's imminent fall & how strongly it affected shu's entire#interior & exterior. like wow wat a narc crash... r ya ok queen#if any1 finds thjs thru any search stuffs like. pls keep in mind this wasn' meant 2 breach containment#oh an' if sum parts of jt R indeed a stretch idgaf. so many of my exomemories focus on the exvalk period specifically so it's very saturate#in my head. i wasn' writin' this balls deep in marionette i was jus pullin' wat i have in storage

Heyooo!
21+ seeking a rp partner for dark, angsty plots that is not shy of heavy topics and traumatic character backgrounds. Smut is welcome but I refuse to do any taboo plots. I am open to mxf and fxf! I would love to double up from the get go with you telling me which fc you want me to play and vice versa. No BS or shying away from what we really want! But please be interested in both ships/dynamics as I will be invested in both regardless. Please note that i only play FCs with acting resources. Ideally this person should also be open to rping our characters in a mumu or rp group with others as I have a lot of ideas and dynamics I’d love to explore (I can go into further detail in dms). I also like to become friends with my rp partners and discuss games, music etc as OOC dynamic is really important to me. I would like to get a feel for the person first before we start running to avoid any conflict! Please like and I’ll slither your way :)
like if interested!

Random thoughts that prove mike wheeler is probably gay and that el doesn’t need him + love triangle imagery
I’m gonna admit it, i am very much a mike wheeler defender but i will slander him this once, he’s being shitty like any teenager would that would be going through trauma. But the thing about mike is that he’s a character and when characters hit low points usually they have internal conflict which leads to further character development.
Mikes internal conflict is his internalized homophobia, that’s what changed his character in s3. He realized something in s2 and in s3 he used el to seem like he’s not gay. He pushed everyone away stated by will in the rain fight. He was so focused on being something he was not because he internally feared his feelings for will. We see him realize these feelings at the end of s3 and to why he was so conflicted during the kiss scene. This relationship between el and mike is called a “beard” a beard is when a queer person uses someone of the opposite sex to appeal straight. That is EXACTLY what m*leven is. El loves mike(probably) but mike does not love eleven. We see this with nancy in s1-2, she can’t say i love you to steve because she simply doesn’t love him. It’s as simple as that. Stancy and milkvan are paralleled to eachother, and many platonic relationships or failed relationships are paralleled with m*lkvan.
I don’t like mileven as i think it’s unhealthy, it makes me sad to see them like that. And seeing how much better they do without each other is better. Milkvan being endgame would make mike the shittiest character written(sorry not sorry) and elevens whole thing with max, and learning about herself and to be independent was a useless arc. And I don’t like the whole idealization mike has for el, el seems to dislike it when she’s compared to a superhero. I don’t know how mike, gaslighting, shifting blame onto el while she’s sobbing is healthy. Even mike said “it’s a fight that you can’t come back from”
In the pizza place, I’m sure mike and el were going to have a mutual breakup before getting interrupted by argyle. After that during the scene where mike is trying to save el, he feels pressured to say i love you to el. I don’t know why someone would struggle to say that especially when they’re in a life or death situation, clearly el doesn’t believe his bs, the vines got tighter around her neck showing weakness, there’s also lighting in the background. It’s when she looks at max, that’s when she gets the power to fight. Not mikes cringe ass speech.
Overall the scene was just sad, I didn’t see anything romantic in that scene, I honestly saw more Byler potential within a “m*leven” scene. It was just sad. Also when mike said i love you, will was in the back. This may mean something. Maybe that will was in the back of his head when he said that. A lot of his speech had will in the back, usually in heart to hearts or confessions, it’s only the two, only their faces. Focused on them and only them. Which this could be love triangle imagery, which is seen a lot in s4 with will, el and mike. Like when el and mike reunited, will is in the middle of them. Also both will snd mike and the same body language with el, which shows that mike and el are platonic:)
Rahh I’m done ranting, bye <3

NGL I really don’t want Cloverfoot to die, I want Cloverstar,,, she doesn’t deserve to die because of Tigerheart’s BS,,,
If she DOES die than Tigerheart better also die in this arc or else imma be pretty mad about it. I hate Tigerheart so much, especially since it should’ve absolutely been Tawnypelt in the position of ShadowClan’s leader instead of him. It seems like every time we almost get a female leader of ShadowClan they die or step down (Russetfur, Tawnypelt, now potentially Cloverfoot) and I hope that cycle doesn’t continue. It’s also why I hope we get a male leader of RiverClan, since we haven’t had one of those since, like,,, Crookedstar lmao
I like Cloverfoot and hate Tigerheartstar with every fibre of my being so I would ideally love it if she became leader instead of him, however I just currently don’t see that happening due to her general irrelevancy despite her being deputy. But that did work out for Harestar so who knows.
I personally think that thanks to Berryheart’s efforts, Tigerstar is going to be the first leader to be voted out of power. I am going to be very annoyed if he’s still in power at the end of the arc. He is great for causing conflict, but at the same time I just can’t stand him lol. I’m personally on team “Sunbeam for leader” by the end of the arc if Cloverfoot does kick the bucket.

This is a REALLY unpopular opinion, but I actually really loved the break-up in 2521. It felt so realistic and so undramatic. Yes, it made me bawl like a baby, but I also felt it so deep in my bones. I was going through a very difficult phase with my boyfriend when I watched it, and it made me feel validated. Like, couples are allowed to have problems that may seem minor to outsiders, but it can matter so deep to the people involved that it can even lead to a break up. Such perfect depth.
See I wouldn't have minded the ending if it didn't completely go against the characters and their earlier scenes. I agree real couples and breakups have depth and nuances but we should HAVE SEEN THAT IN THE SHOW NOT JUST PRETENDED IT WAS THERE CAUSE THEY TOLD US IT WAS
Like, you're telling me they survived a longer separation when they were kids and weren't even together but then he goes off as adults and is seeing some of the most traumatic things ever and they butcher nhd's character so hard by going "yeah but he needs to pay more attention to ME" even though the foundations of their relationship involved distance and friendship LIKE COME ON. It destroyed their characters, byj WHOSE ENTIRE GOAL WAS TO GET BACK TO HIS LOVED ONES was like "actually I'm gonna stay in this place where I'm miserable because I have to or some bs" and nhd who was one of the sweetest most understanding caring person is like "actually I don't care about your trauma I care about what I want even though I'm the one who travels for work all the time" LIKE IT DOESNT MAKE SENSE.
If they breakup happened for other reasons, or if we had seen more of their relationship falling part and like ah yes they need to breakup its good for them it might have worked but they didn't. Everytime they had am argument about byj's work they made up and moved on. But instead the main issue was miscommunication which I fucking hate in general but it was worse here because THEY ALWAYS COMMUNICATED WELL. EVEN WHEN ALL THEY HAD WAS FUCKING VOICEMAILS THEY COMMUNICATED WELL you cannot tell me they lost that ability by dating no fucking way make it make sense.
Because it didn't fit with their characters and what we knew of them and their relationship, the conflict didn't work for me and thus the breakup felt forced and unnecessary. The last two episodes felt like I was watching an entirely different drama with different characters because thye did not make any sense at all and just ugh
Also the fact that we clearly see both of them are unhappy in their later lives. NHD is always complaining about a shitty absent husband, and she didn't even seem happy when they were newlyweds (wanting a divorce instead come on) like what a sucky way to see it. And BYJ though we don't see much from him he still feels lonely and is a workaholic. The drama didn't give us any closure for them as characters, ans since we watched them grow up and end it with them still being sad and hung up on the other.
If the show had ended with a hopeful open ending, even if they were broken up, I'd feel better about it. Maybe we got to see NHD's husband and see why she married him and that he's good for her. Maybe we'd get to see BYJ with a family of his own or at least some goddamn friends, something to show he healed from that trauma of his nyc stay, idk.
Obviously my ideal ending would have been for them to get back together after a couple years apart and him to have been the dad all along BUT by the end I was okay with the idea that at the very least they can reconnect as friends when they're older. At its core their story was about friendship, and I would have been satisfied if she just like met up with her friends. But no, we don't know what happened to the friends at the end. I don't know if she and bona's character are still friends, if the other two are still married (and THAT was not a realistic romance okay that was bs comparing the two ships and seeing that was the one that lasted was a slap on the face) or whether the smart one whose name i also forgot got to live up to her full potential and be satisfied with her career (i actually liked her working on a variety show it suited her character but also id like to see something). We didnt get to see any of the character grow into people they wanted to be, just hopelessness. It destroyed the main premise that we got from the first 14 episodes. It would have been an easy fic just like a fucking ending shot with her getting a group text from the friend group or contacting byj to meet up and catch up like seriously anything would have been better than seeing her walk off into the distance like "well I can't change my past but i can sure live in it cause my current life sucks)
Not to mention the poor casting choice where older nhd just ended up becoming the most stereotypical ajumma I've seen down to fashion it felt like I was watching some other show. Kim tae ri could have stayed in that role and worn different makeup at least then it would have felt like the same character instead of feeling like it was another drama entirely jfc.
They didn't advertise this drama as a sad one, or at least there was some definite disconnect between the writer and the directors/actors. Even kim tae ri asked the writer to change the ending cause she thought it didn't fit with the story. They changed a lot and it was advertised as a coming of age romance, not the melodrama is became. It just was so incongruous and I hate how it didn't fit with the characters I grew to love.
I'm glad it was cathartic for you but it left me feeling really shitty and hopeless at the end, and that's the feeling I get still when I think about it. It really had the potential to be my favorite drama of all time (something that hasn't changed in nearly a decade since coffee prince for crying out loud) but I can't even think about rewatching it. It's just something I find so unsatisfying.
Plus I hate the message of the story becoming something like "your teens and early 20s are the best years of your life after that it sucks and you just have to be okay with that" like no gtfo. This is a problem across the board in Korea where married women with kids who are miserable just have to be okay with that and I'm sorry I hate it sooooo much. If they just showed that everyone was happy and that their lives were good and importantly THAT THEY STILL HAD EACH OTHER AND FRIENDS it would have told a different story that yes you grow up and change but life doesn't end and you can still go back and be with people who care about you and God I just there was so much wasted potential that they fucked up so bad
#also i did not like the use of 9/11 for their separation there could have been better ways to handle that#apparently the director and actors just like started doing their own thing and improvising and changing a lot about the characters#thats why the change didnt feel so good and apparently byj was supposed to be much colder BUT THATS NOT THE STORY WE GOT#they writer was too stubborn to change or adapt her dumb ending to fit the story and instead created one of the worst last 2 episodes ive#seen and im so mad and ill never watch abother drama she makes#asked and answered#kdrama#twenty five twenty one#im sorry anon as always your opinion IS VALID and im glad you liked it#but i will never forgive this drama it goes in the fuck you bin with scarlet ryeo in wasted potential#i will rewatch it im just skipping the modern day parts and ignoring the ending ✌🏽

BIOGRAPHY
Born as Irina Lexington she was adopted into a well established, feared and respected mob family.
She was the youngest daughter, and from an early age was expected to become the obedient wife. Just to be seen and not heard.
Her mother died from a gunshot, aimed for her father. She was never really allowed to grieve because “someone might see.”
Each member had a job to do, her job was to protect the family, legally.
She fell in love with literature and any other form of fiction to escape the reality she of life.
With a sharp tongue that has often gotten her into more trouble than good, she was overall a good girl - but was often too feisty for her own good.
By the time she was 18, she was expected to help a merger by being sold for marriage to the son of another mob family.
Again it wasn’t ideal but she did what she had to in order to protect the family.
Once she became a lawyer she entered the marriage with the motto of loyalty above all.
The relationship was something she never expected for herself, she experienced feelings she didn’t expect.
For a while things were stable, they even welcomed a son.
Then a year later she found out her brother in law and brother were mixed into something. Conflicted between the family who raised her and the family she was legally binded to. She used her degree and expertise to put one brother away and let one go.
After she knew loyalty to the wrong family would result in death or a fate worse than death.
She ran to Cape May and changed her name, taking her son with her. Leaving just a note. “Sorry.”
And while being a single mother definitely wasn’t what she planned or taking him away. Every time she lays her eyes on her baby boy she couldn’t be more in love and is sure that she would be okay.

Friends
Clients
FWB

Grant-Free vs. Grant-Based systems
In the telecommunications industry, data transmission is a critical aspect, and there are two primary approaches to managing data flow: Grant-Free and Grant-Based systems. These systems differ in how they allocate resources for data transmission and each has its unique advantages and use cases. In this article, we'll briefly compare Grant-Free and Grant-Based systems.
Grant-Free Systems Grant-Free systems are designed for scenarios where data is transmitted sporadically or in short bursts. In these systems, resources for data transmission are allocated without prior grant or reservation. This approach is well-suited for low-latency applications and enables devices to transmit data quickly without having to wait for resource allocation. One of the main benefits of Grant-Free systems is their ability to support a large number of devices simultaneously, making them ideal for IoT applications. They also enable low-latency connectivity, as devices can transmit data immediately without waiting for a grant. However, Grant-Free systems may not be suitable for applications that require high throughput or sustained data transmission, as they can experience congestion and reduced performance in such scenarios. The procedure of Grant-Free systems is as follows: · Devices (UEs) generate data packets to be transmitted. · Devices send the data packets using a Payload on the Physical Random Access Channel (PRACH). · The network (Base Station, BS) receives the data packets and sends feedback to the devices.
Grant-Based Systems Grant-Based systems are designed for scenarios where data is transmitted continuously or in large amounts. In these systems, resources for data transmission are allocated through a grant process, where devices request resources from the network before transmitting data. This approach ensures efficient use of resources and is well-suited for high-throughput applications. The procedure of Grant-Based Systems is as follows: ·Devices generate data packets to be transmitted. · Devices send a Preamble on the PRACH to request resources from the BS. · The BS responds with a Random Access Response (RA response). · Devices send a "Message 3" to the network, which includes information about the device's capabilities and requirements. · The network responds with a "Message 4," which includes the resource allocation grant. (Here the Contention Resolution process is used to resolve potential conflicts that may arise when multiple UEs send Preambles on the PRACH simultaneously. This process ensures that each device is assigned a unique set of resources for data transmission and helps minimize interference and collision in the network.) · Devices send the data packets using the allocated resources on the Physical Uplink Shared Channel (PUSCH). Grant-Based systems offer efficient resource utilization, reduced latency, and improved throughput for high-data applications. However, they may not be suitable for applications with strict low-latency requirements, as the grant process can introduce delay.
By selecting the most appropriate approach for specific use cases, they can optimize network performance, minimize conflicts and congestion, and provide a high-quality user experience.
