Not physically in a place to write a longer post properly dissecting this, but do we think ‘Teenage Rebellion’ is supposed to be/going to be a song from Fig’s sophomore album?
I know a lot of Emily’s IC choices rn are sort of shying away from Fig’s rockstar stuff, but a lot of the lyrics reflect her character development so far. Both as the Archdevil of Rebellion (obviously), but also as a Paladin of Doubt? Like there’s a lot of references in the lyrics to having doubts and worries but that actually being okay.
making a Star Wars show that a) is set during the height of the Empire and co-stars Bail Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi, and Leia Organa or b) co-stars Mon Mothma and revolves around poltiics, spying, and the fledgling Rebellion and not mentioning Padme is like making a politics-focused show set in the 80s and not mentioning Reagan. literally incomprehensible
The thing I love the most about the prequel is how it shows us rebellion was inevitable! When we meet Katniss, there have been 73 editions of these games and we're led to believe that the people are so afraid of this system they just try to survive it. But that's not the case at all. Katniss is just the first flame that wasn't put out. We now know that during the first 10 years things were very shaky and a rebellion was feared in the capitol and that's why they deleted those footages, they couldn't risk showing people in the districts that there was a slim chance to be hopeful. And now we can think many more instances of open rebellion happened but they were all contained. Until Katniss appeared. She slowly had bigger audiences to show her acts of compassion that gave people hope. When she first volunteers for her sister at the reaping, she does so in front of district 12 and the next time she does something like that is in the games themselves, where we assume people from every district are watching. And maybe they think it's a one time thing, but she keeps doing these little acts that unknowingly make her a symbol of hope. But we know that many before her have done their own actions of rebellion like in the 10th games and quietly throughout the districts as well. It brings so much more weight to what happens when Katniss finally arrives after 73 editions of these games.
i'm actually kinda proud of the transitions and wish i chose a verse where i could've looped it but this edit didnt come out half bad. i was og gonna add the "i'm returning to xuanwu to collect the leader's head" line to this (cause that's why i had this idea) but honestly i just forgot and didnt feel like tryna fit it in
in all honestly a resolution in ahsoka and obi wan’s relationship would be nothing but tragedy. meeting after order 66 wouldn’t go…well. there is immediate relief to see that the other is alive. just as quickly, there is guilt. obi wan’s guilt. he cannot bring himself to tell her that he is anakin’s killer. ahsoka sees obi wan’s depression. he looks hopeless and lost. the mentor she knew is gone forever. she sees the guilt in his eyes thinking it’s because he couldn’t save anakin. she tries to tell him it’s not his fault, he’s not alone, she loved him too, they can grieve him together— he won’t let her in. the obi wan she knew is gone; what can she do? she cannot help someone who does not want to be helped. he won’t talk to her about what happened and she doesn’t understand why. years later, she understands why. in horror, at last, she understands why. she’s questioning everything all over again. how can she trust herself? everything she was ever taught was taught to her by— him. obi wan, still nothing like his old self, but a little better, now, thanks to the purpose luke (and leia) have given him, runs into ahsoka again. he recognises her guilt, her grief, her doubt, immediately. her fear. her fear of herself. she knows. his belated attempt to be there for her isn’t the comfort he hoped it would be. it’s not that she’s angry. not at him. it’s just that she doesn’t believe him. not anymore. he tries to reassure her that she is not destined to fall into the dark side. all ahsoka hears are empty words. his belated belief in her is just empty now. you believed in him, too, she says, defeated. you always said we were so alike. give me a reason. any reason to believe in me that you haven’t once said about him.
I was just talking to a friend about this yesterday, but it's crazy how Kazuha's story just would not have happened in Mondstadt. They would not have stood to the side of they heard a friend agreed to a duel to the death. They would not have honored the duel at all. They wouldn't have have fought back, not run away if the knights started stealing visions for Barbatos. And they never would have forgiven Barbatos for killing their friend. To a lot of them, such a story would be simply unthinkable.
Idk I kinda feel like Rouge is only in Sonic Prime to assist the plot and not actually have her own story. I haven't watched season 1 in a While, but iirc in every Shatterverse we've seen so far, she's been this kind of leader type who mostly pushes the story along for other characters. Idk! I want her to have her own story and development and Not just be a vehicle for other character arcs. Season 2, I've got my eye on you.
