I know I probably (most likely) have made this post before, but the assumption that no one explained attachment to Anakin is so fucking stupid

1. Why would the Jedi never explain it to Anakin?

2. Anakin lived as a Jedi for over 10 years, how would it never come up?

3. It's predicated on "we don't see it therefore it didn't happen"

4. Anakin himself explains what attachment is and why Jedi don't do that in AOTC, the entire original argument is based upon not paying attention to what is said in the movie, Anakin knows very much what attachment is, he just doesn't practice it, to everyone's detriment

I feel it’s odd how many people seem absolutely determined to say how important romantic relationships are. Like I’m not interested in a romantic relationship, that just isn’t my vibe, but I still deeply care for everyone around me (even the people I disagree with, I still want them to have decent lives). The over emphasis on romantic relationships fails to show exactly how much people can and will give to others outside of that.

I'm sorry if those people don't love their families, don't love their friends, don't love their pets, don't love their community, don't enjoy any media, don't have any self-steem and don't have any sort of goodwill towards humanity.

I'm sorry they are miserable assholes, basically.

think the key to understanding the attachment/non-attachment theory always just comes down to "the things that you personally like are not actually and literally the Best Things in the entire world, and you shouldn't make prioritise them over the wellbeing or opinion of other people just because they're Yours" and if you do not want to follow this particular rule, you do not actually Have To Be a jedi if you don't want to be.

i need everyone to understand the poetry of curly turning a blind eye to anya’s suffering only to be robbed of his autonomy and voice as she was and then forced to observe jimmy’s crimes and the abuse of his own body

Jury Nullification: Your Power To Choose

[nemesis-is-my-middle-name]

that article going around abt firefox's new ad program is annoying bc it's phrased as though "mozilla has finally TURNED on its people and is SELLING YOU OUT for cold hard cash!!" when. that's not what's happening. it is specifically being implemented to discourage tracking behavior, and literally all the data they are giving to advertisers is aggregate and anonymized, which is like, the opposite of what that post wants you to worry about, lol

I think the "Jod is a former Inquisitor" (or some manner of dark side and/or fallen Jedi, personally I'm kinda hoping on him being a Knight of Ren, their nomadic raider lifestyle is very complimentary for someone who became a pirate) theory became all the more likely based off episode 5, but not even because of his actions at the end

I think the smoking gun is how he describes attachment

To the Jedi (and many other light side Force traditions), attachments are feelings of possessiveness, an inability to accept change, the unwillingness to let go, a clinging feeling, a selfish need

(Imma just insert this here because it perfectly encapsulates the point)

In summary, to the Jedi there is nothing wrong with loving or caring about others, in fact it is encouraged, Jedi should have love and care for all, but that must be a selfless, compassionate love, not showing favor or trying to control what you love-because that is not love, it is possession, and of course, the Jedi accept when people and things are gone, when they change, die, when things are beyond their control

But that's not how Jod describes attachments

The way he describes it, as purely being feelings of love and care for others (which again i will remind you, are things that the Jedi are perfectly ok with), and framing those feelings as weaknesses, it reeks of the dark side

It is an all too common thing across many dark siders that caring-especially loving-people, are feelings that hold you back or can be used against you (see Darth Malgus)

I don’t think we’re rick rolling each other enough anymore. 1. it CANNOT die out 2. this under saturated market is perfect for unsuspecting victims who’ve been lulled into a false sense of security. be the person you hate. bring back the dastardly link

[jedi-enthusiasm-blog]

Oh sorry, that ask was in direct relation to some Jedi attachment post you’d made a while back, my brain made the connection but I forgot to really write out the tie ins with words. My bad.

No problem! It was easy to understand. But yeah, something being so clear in your brain you forget to write it is An Experience.

Bruce is at a gala, okay, and he’s talking to a woman.

Random woman: “And we found out that we’re having another child!”

Bruce: *absolutely cackling inside, because this is about to be the funniest thing he’s done in weeks*

Brucie: “That’s wonderful! Where are they? Can I meet them? How old are they?”

Now Brucie is standing there, scanning the room for children with a huge grin on his face, while all of the random rich people stand around like ‘who’s going to explain to the adorable, well-meaning idiot that most people know they’re going to have children a few months before the children are born.’

And worse, who’s going to have to break the news to him that he can’t meet the kid today?

Because this man… this man has acquired all of his children with zero premeditation. Yes, he does have a bio kid, but that one showed up on his doorstep as a preteen. He did even less acquiring with that one than with the others.

Bruce has a blast acting out his disappointment, and has to turn some so that he can no longer see Tim and Cass leaning against each other and laughing, because otherwise he’s going to start laughing.
