naila!! what apps do u use for ur smau's?? ☹☹☹ highk dying on finding these types of apps

omg zenn hi!! so idk if this is still on the appstore but social dummy lets u do it for pretty much most apps so twitter, youtube, messages etc, but if that isn’t available then twinote for twitter it’s honestly so much better bc u don’t have to pay for anything and there’s no like limit to how many tweets/profiles u can make unlike on social dummy, and for messages MeMi messages is really good too, there’s no limits but it’s kind of annoying at first trying to figure out how to make new profiles or group chats

Something I touched on in my review of Convergence and have been thinking about since finishing the novel is how it depicts the pursuit of peace. (Spoilers ahead).

Eiram and E'ronoh are defined largely by their war footing with each other, and any lapse in that war is pretty insignificant. A ceasefire is never more than a few days. People enjoy the slight reprieves, but food remains rationed. E'ronoh is overcome with smog. Its leadership is constantly looking for a fight (save princess Xiri). Meanwhile, Eiram has many homeless and starving while its leadership is corrupted (dealing with the Path of the Open Hand, building bio-weapons, etc.). War and violence is always the default.

These temporary ceasefires are a sort of “passive” or negative peace so to speak, i.e., the mere absence of conflict. That is all well and good for preventing deaths, and it is the first step toward something more lasting perhaps. But is nowhere near sufficient. The novel starts with a ceasefire that is easily broken, as were all the others, due to the extreme lack of trust between the two planets.

Avoiding war alone does not build any trust or any “active peace,” i.e., a lasting and meaningful one. The majority of the novel involves (most) characters going step by step toward a more active peace via building trust between the sides as well as with the Jedi mediators. But the events show us that the process is long, grueling, and nonlinear. The negotiations routinely get derailed by old wounds, third party instigators, and (multiple) betrayals. And near the end, it is almost broken before it even starts. Xiri, Phan-tu, and the Jedi must immediately - and constantly - defend any gains they make toward lasting trust and respect.

I think the novel sends multiple messages regarding an active peace. First, most obviously, is that it is a worthwhile pursuit. The main fact that convinces each side’s to pursue negotiations to the end is their peoples’ suffering. That suffering is front and center in both Xiri and Phan-tu’s findings during the adventures they have on each planet. The people’s material well-being should be prioritized over outdated grievances.

Second, while being worthy, an active peace is hard work and requires constant attention. The negotiations take many days; things are constantly trying to derail them; and by the end they still have to make a treaty outlining the planets’ future relationship. Any complacency diverts to the default or at least risks collapse given enough time.

This is in line with the rest of Star Wars. The Republic, becoming complacent with the negative peace, is laden with distrust and corruption by the time of the Prequels. Politicians have largely given up maintaining an active peace in favor of their own self-interest, allowing the king of self-interest himself to take over. Moreover, the “peace” brought on by the Empire is the pinnacle of negative peace at best via the absence of conflict through ending all real or potential opposition. At worst, and oftentimes, the Empire creates violence anyway, especially in the poorer Outer Rim.

Third, an active peace requires mutual trust through an appreciation of each other’s cultures and characteristics. It is not literally to say that arranged marriages always end a war, but Phan-tu and Xiri’s love represents the way to get to the active peace. Over the course of the novel, they realize each other’s strengths and weaknesses, their quirks and wounds, and their beliefs. They gain appreciation not merely by learning about these, but by understanding them through shared experiences. Each planet realizes the same things and end up believing they are stronger together as a result.

Fourth, an active peace also requires a third party who believes in the goal and has the capacity to protect it - the Jedi. They aren’t just diplomats but beings who pursue an understanding of others and respect for life and cultures. The Republic may be a third party, but they might not be neutral. Even at this point, while the Republic is not nearly as corrupt, Chancellor Mollo seems more concerned with expanding the Republic’s influence through a stable peace than the peace itself. This isn’t necessarily bad, but given the Republic has material interests of its own too, the warring planets need the Jedi to work through the negotiations. The Jedi’s convictions and absence of material stakes are helpful to attaining the active peace, albeit through an imperfect process. And Chancellor Greylark, ever the politician, is more concerned about public image than the public good for its own sake.

This book kicks so much ass. It gets better the more I think about it.

[Video Description: an even if Tempest “AMV” created using Windows Movie Maker 2012 and intentionally exported at a lower resolution to create stuttering and lower quality images. The AMV plays over a segment of the song It's Gonna Be Me, by the band N*SYNC. It opens with an opening credits message reading: “Even if Tempest SPOILERS!! WATCH AT UR OWN RISK NO FLAMES PLZ”, followed by a second opening credits message reading: "FOR REAL SPOILERS I MEAN IT!!!" and continues by panning and zooming over CGs from the Crius, Tyril, and primarily, Zenn routes of Even If Tempest. The video ends with credits reading “GAME evne if tempest SONG its gonna be me nsync editign xX3v4lud4t3Xx I OWN NOTHIBG!!!!!!!!!!!!!” End Video Description.]

Good afternoon, lovely listeners! Tomorrow, we will be recording our next episode on the Zenn route of Even If Tempest. We thought it might make things a bit easier on everyone's schedules to just have the announcement posted ahead of time. If you have any questions about the best boy in the game, his route, or the game as a whole, please reply here or send us an ask!

possibly(?) controversial post, but xiri and phan-tu are like if finnrey was canon and also a royalty au

girl raised in the desert, grew up too fast and too early, is strong and stubborn and independent but holds a secret softness

boy adopted/stolen from his birth family and raised in a regime he was never meant to be a part of, kind and compassionate and brave, fiercely loyal to the point of putting himself in harm's way for the desert girl he loves

hi guys!!!

So um, if you guys don't know me, I'm alyssa! I'm also known as indigo or adriana!

During my time here on tumblr so far I have fucked up with a lot of people. Especially people I called friends. And I know nothing I can do will take back my actions, but I hope you can find it in your hearts, not to hate me.

Pitifulbinx:

hey binx, I know it's been a while since we've talked. However, I wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for getting mad at you for "taking" the person I was talking to, I had a boyfriend at the time I shouldn't have even been talking to her. I am so sorry for getting angry at you and banning you from my server. I should've just talked to you about it like a normal person. I hope you can find it in your heart to forgive me <3

Dolly:

Hi Dolly, I know you have me blocked and won't be able to see this. However, I hope this finds its way to you. I am so sorry for not respecting your boundaries and continuing to send you asks and interact with your posts even though I'm 13. I completely disregarded your feelings and boundaries, and I shouldn't have done that. It was a really bad thing for me to do. I am so sorry I did that.

Zennotixs:

hi zenn, I know you have me blocked, and there's a high chance you won't see this, but I hope somehow you see it. I am so sorry for being disrespectful to your friends and your mutuals. I should have been more respectful, especially to people I don't know. I am so sorry.
