Still not used to this life or death situation stuff. That's good, 'cause I'm not either. You never get used to it.

“…then I will carry your weight, look here's my name, burden me.”

That sentence right there. Like oh my god!!! Makes me want to ugly cry because I’m so damn sure that Witch has been by herself for bit. Whenever you write about her she’s always by herself in her home and that’s not a bad thing but I wonder if she feels lonely.

Plus! Generations of magic all crammed into her and I just know she feels burdened by it to some degree. Burdened to preform perfectly. Burdened to be the best. Burdened with the weight of your family legacy. Then here comes John waltzing in and pretty much saying “I’ll carry it with you.”

And I jus-

AAAAAHHHHHHHH

I love him and I love Witch. Like please, y’all stop messing around and get married already❤️

Witch is such a deeply lonely character in my mind, and I try to show that when I write her. She's someone that's always taken care of others, but doesn't have anything to really show for it. She's alone in her family home despite the fact that her family is alive and well. She doesn't know how to entertain guests, only how to serve clients. She has very few friends. Very few people she can trust, that she can lean on.

Witch is a character that, through necessity/divine intervention/personal inability, has always been alone. She's the oldest child, groomed as the successor to her family's magic, never quite fitting in with the normal humans of the world. Everything in her life revolves around magic, everything has a purpose, everything has to be perfect to manage the burden on her shoulders. Witch is cheerful, she's kind and charming, but I don't know if she's ever really... enjoyed life. I don't think she's ever seen herself as more than a vessel for her magic.

Price is the first person to ask her how she's doing. It's literally the first thing out of his mouth in their first post: "How's my pretty Witch doing today?" And I think as their relationship progresses he sort of realizes how much she needs someone to care for her, not just care about her. Plenty of people may care about the Witch but look at how self sufficient she is, she doesn't need anyone to care for her! And she is, she's perfectly able to take care of herself, but that doesn't mean she needs to. That doesn't mean Price is going to let her. Let him carry the weight, let him take some of the loneliness, let him ease the burden into something manageable, just for a little while, just until you fall asleep.

Anyway Witch is a deeply personal character to me, but also one that I hope others can relate to. I think we've all sat and felt the weight of the world on our shoulders, and wished there was someone we could share it with.

just read the interview with jake lloyd's mother, lisa lloyd, about his experiences with schizophrenia since being in the phantom menace. i'm glad to hear that he's finally getting help and is reportedly improving, but i can't help but feel absolutely furious about the fact that he was jailed for TEN MONTHS for traffic violations and resisting arrest while in a psychotic episode. the cops wouldn't give him his meds, and denied him hospitalization because "the beds were full". ten fucking months of that. my god.

#jake lloyd #anakin skywalker #the phantom menace #tpm #star wars #posting this both bc it's important as a sw fan but ALSO bc the stigma against psychotic ppl is so absolutely horrendous. i'm sick of it #i was gonna go to bed but i found this in my drafts from earlier today and realized i hadn't posted it yet #also the fact that he was so heavily impacted by his younger sister's death is absolutely heartbreaking. i'm truly rooting for him at this #point. i understand his pain to a degree as someone with bipolar. psychosis is a heavy heavy burden

If we do ever get a Reva spin-off show (or movie, whatever), I would like to put it out there that it shouldn't have a SINGLE cameo. Not one. No Rebels characters, no Sequels characters, no Force ghosts, no Ahsoka, no Luke or Leia, no other Jedi survivors, NOBODY. No cameos, just Reva and a cast of original characters.

#star wars #reva sevander #reva #little easter egg things in like props or sets or whatever are fine #oh also DON'T SEND HER TO TATOOINE #STOP SENDING PEOPLE TO TATOOINE #i never want to see reva on tatooine again #give her new planets to go to pls and thx #look i love the idea of what would happen if reva met adult luke and leia too #or having reva meet jedi survivor characters like quinlan or cal #or interacting with the rebels crew (the real ones not these fake ass knock-offs from the ahsoka show) #or telling off ahsoka for the genocide apologist she apparently is and defending the jedi to her stupid face #or being able to speak to obi-wan and yoda's force ghosts one last time #but she deserves to get to shine in her own show without having to share the spotlight with already beloved characters #she deserves to establish herself without that burden #esp since she was introduced on a show where she had to hold up against a whole slew of pre-established characters #LET HER SHINE

[heart-of-a-rebel16]

we all talk about how cool it is that Kallus is part of a Lasat prophecy (because it obviously is), but I feel that no one talks about the objectively hilarious fact that Hondo is also part of that prophecy

#I mean #imagine the Ashla Bendu and Bogan just chilling out as gods do #Ashla: oh yeah for the child I’ve picked a man whose lost his faith because he feels so guilty for his perceived failure #lira san will ease his heart and take some of his burden #For the warrior I’ve chosen a broken man who only wanted to protect and who’s terrified of his mounting failures #Lira san will help bring him to the light so he can see the error of his ways and foster a true family to protect #The bogan (high as fuck): yeah and the fool will be this random washed up pirate who refuses to die. He doesn’t even know what Lira san in #AND THEN THEY JUST ROLL WITH IT? #Y’all just KNOW hondos trying to find a way to monetize this #star wars rebels #swr #sw rebels #star wars #agent kallus #alexsandr kallus #zeb orrelios #garazeb orrelios #hondo ohnaka #Lasat theology

Statement: "Picard only got buff for the TNG movies."

Fact check: False. This is a lie perpetuated by the man's innate modesty and affinity for flowing, shapeless blouses. He was always buff.

Work cited: "Captain's Holiday", season three.

This has been a PSA due to the blasphemous tags I've been seeing on multiple posts.

Like so apparently. There's this interaction you get with an NPC named Yujin who works at Cloudsbreath Sleeves that gives you this piece of Jing Yuan lore; where Qingzu apparently booked a tailor's appointment for him once and what he did upon entering the shop was to immediately buy the cheapest clothing but he got strong-armed into staying put for measurements and. and. AND. Yujin said that halfway through the measuring, the General had dozed off while "they were fussing over him." Then, when the appointment ran through and it was time for the Clouds Knights to help escort the General back (since they didn't wake him once they were done measuring), Jing Yuan woke up without looking tired and left with them, "...as if the weariness was never there."

LIKE. This piece of lore devastated me so much because this spoke a LOT about Jing Yuan's character so much...I talked it over with a friend that's a fellow JY-truther too and yeah, we both agreed with the idea of Jing Yuan who doesn't want to intimidate the ordinary Xianzhou citizens by his reputation as a General through doing things like this that would earn him nicknames (The Dozing General) and then on the other hand, you have Jing Yuan who doesn't want to disappoint the admiration and respect that the Cloud Knights have for him by becoming a person that's worthy for him to look up to and yeah. I just love him so much please please hoyo writers don't off him too soon

I AM ONE (1) more traumatized character who ends up dying sacrificing themselves for everyone else cause apparently there's no chance of getting better and being happy and the only way you can be useful to society when you're broken is by offing yourself so everyone else can live happily ever after AWAY FROM THROWING MYSELF OFF A BUILDING.

#I've seen this too many time #Just stop #Cause really this is the message that I get from all these sacrifices #I'm sorry I'm a burden and I'm gonna k word myself now so y'all can live your much deserving lives :) #I absolutely hate it #The Magicians #Quentin Coldwater #Stranger things #Billy Hargrove #Eddie Munson #Marvel #Mcu #Natasha romanoff #Killing eve #Villanelle #Harringrove #Attack on titans #Kylo Ren #Star wars #Castiel #Dean winchester #Supernatural #Spn
