#a more perfect union

[tennessoui]

i started the second chapter already lol

“When you were…stating your case to the Council,” Obi-Wan says, every word measured and mild which actually means he’s feeling anything but. “Did you happen to mention Senator Amidala by name?” “Yeah,” Anakin says easily with a shrug. “Pretty hard to tell them I’m married if I don’t mention who I’m married to. Like I said, I think it being to Padmé was a pretty big reason as to why they allowed it. Cause she’s a senator and trustworthy and stuff.”

“Of course,” Obi-Wan says, running a hand through his beard. “And, out of curiosity, did you happen to mention me at all? Perhaps, in relation to your marriage.”

Anakin frowns, casting his mind back. The memories are already a little blurry, given how stressed and worried Anakin had been at the time. He honestly isn’t sure what he said, just knows what the Council had replied with. “Maybe?” he says. “I mean, it’s definitely a possibility. They kept bringing you into it.”

“Quite,” Obi-Wan’s face flickers, drawing up tight for a moment before relaxing. “Then, last question, padawan. Any idea as to why half the Council wished me congratulations and happy kriffing returns on my marriage?” Anakin blinks and says the first thing—the only thing—that pops into his head. “You’re married?”

Okay. Let’s get this over with.

Parallels

Or

Seeing Patterns in Things that Aren’t There

Part 29

Amidst The Innumerable Stars

1. “Look. Toa Lhikan’s Spirit Star. Each Toa has one. As long as it burns in the night sky, Toa Lhikan remains alive.” - Vakama. Bionicle: Legends of Metru Nui. (2004)

2. “Now fair and marvellous was that vessel made, and it was filled with a wavering flame, pure and bright; and Eärendil the Mariner sat at the helm, glistening with dust of elven-gems, and the Silmaril was bound upon his brow. Far he journeyed in that ship, even into the starless voids; but most often was he seen at morning or at evening, glimmering in sunrise or sunset, as he came back to Valinor from voyages beyond the confines of the world.

. . .

Now when first Vingilot was set to sail in the seas of heaven, it rose unlooked for, glittering and bright; and the people of Middle-earth beheld it from afar and wondered, and they took it for a sign, and called it Gil-Estel, the Star of High Hope.”

- The Silmarillion (1977). - Quenta Silmarillion. Of the Voyage of Earendil and the War of Wrath.

3. “What are you made of?” - Lauren Arnoldson.

“Good People.” - Manticore (Constellation).

- The Monument Mythos: Season Three. (2023)

Kind of speaks for itself.

But this post covers numerous examples of people living on as or becoming stars in one way or another.

In the Bionicle universe, Toa were represented by Spirit Stars in the sky of the GSR. Perhaps more akin to beacons in hindsight.

Lhikan’s spirit star remains while he lives. Until he sacrifices himself to save Vakama. And the Toa Metru receive their own stars shortly afterwards.

Earendil and his Silmaril become a star in the sky after he and his wife Elwing work with the Valar and their host to save the world from Morgoth in the War of Wrath.

The Angel Crown, Freedom (and Nina & Thomas Crawford by extension), and Everett Arnoldson merge to form the Perfect Union, sacrificing themselves to destroy the Martian Serpent and save the world.

In doing so they transcend and become stars, forming the Manticore constellation.

Make of this what you will.

On calling your reps

Was talking to a friend of mine who was genuinely surprised that you can just call your reps and that it's easy to do, despite the fact that he's heard the phrase "call your representatives" at least a dozen times and it made me realize: as much as we say "go call your reps" I don't think we make it accessible enough for people to realize it's something you can just... do.

With that in mind... how do you call reps? This will probably become a short series, also feel free to send asks about it.

1: Put their contact info into your phone. Look up "who's my national/state representative" and put in your address in the website. Your reps and their phone numbers will come up. Put their name, number, senate/house/city council, city/state/federal, and party affiliation into your phone. now you never have to look that up again

2: Have an opinion on something that's going on politically or that laws would have an impact on

3: If it is helpful to you, write a script (more info below the cut)

4: Call your rep's number. If a person picks up, it will likely be an intern. they are fairly chill. Give your spiel, ask them to pass the message along. If it's the rep themself, same thing, minus passing info to another person. If no one picks up, just leave a voicemail. Make sure to give your name and where you live so they know you're a constituent (or don't but it might not have as much of an effect)

5: Be proud of yourself. You have done more civic engagement than most people in this country

A basic script template to voice your opinion about a bill can go like this:

Hello, I'm [name] from [city and zipcode]. I'm calling about [bill number], [bill title], because I'd like to ask Representative [name] to vote [YES/NO]. This is important because [give reason(s) why it's important to you]. Also, [give reason's why it should be important to them, threatening to not vote for them can work if you don't like them]. Again, if you could pass on the message to Representative [name] to vote [YES/NO] for [bill name] that would be fantastic. Thank you, have a good day!

A basic script template to voice your opinion about a general problem or bill you'd like to see might go something like this:

Hello, I'm [name] from [city and zipcode]. I'm calling because I've been noticing [problem you want to be fixed] in my area, and I think the issue could be fixed by [proposed solution you'd wish get legislated]. This would help because [give reasons why it would benefit you]. Also, [give reasons why it would fit into their stated ideals]. I know there's not currently a bill in the works about this, but if one comes up, please vote to [make proposed solution happen]. Thank you, and have a good day!

#politics #civic engagement #call your reps #america #united states #remember #for each person who calls #they tend to estimate about ten more have that same opinion #make your voice heard #the best that can happen is they take your opinion into consideration and alter their actions #the worst that can happen is they do nothing #which is the equivilant of you not calling in the first place #phone zap #societal change #progress #a more perfect union

In the Assigned Married fic, Palpatine's going to die when he tells Anakin the divorce is a mistake and Obi-Wan is the wrong choice, isn't he? Anakin, who mocked Obi-Wan for 3 things before breakfast: Obi-Wan doesn't make mistakes!!! He's perfect!!! How dare you!!!

Palpatine, who has been convinced by the Jedi council’s conviction that anakin actually is married to Kenobi and he’s pissed af because Kenobi in a marriage to his future apprentice is the literal last thing he needs rn: perhaps you should divorce kenobi….he will always love the order more than you, there is no future there, no family….we all make foolish choices when we are young but this one can be corrected with a simple divorce

Anakin who isn’t even married to Obi-Wan: I would NEVER divorce obi-wan so jot that down

Election 2024: The Undermining of our Democratic Culture by the Republican Party and Conservative Media

The way you undermine an established democracy is by attacking its democratic culture. You've got to get people who once believed in democratic solutions to their problems to accept autocratic ones. Pollings hows their progress in eroding our democracy.
