I've been seeing this quote from the Claudia Gray line from "Master and Apprentice" go around:

Every person Obi-Wan ever truly loved—Anakin, Satine, Padmé, and Qui-Gon himself—came to a terrible end.

And, like, okay, maybe unreliable narrator, but. Tell me you don't know any combat veterans without telling me you don't know any combat veterans.

Because after three years of war, Obi-Wan is going to truly love at least some of his men to the same level as he loves those four.

Christopher Cantwell's Obi-Wan comic gets it. Three of the five issues — which cover more than just the Clone War — show how deeply Obi-Wan cares about the clone troopers he led and served with. And, ahem, how he misses Cody to this day, to be precise.

And, if I'm allowed to get a little "conspiracy Charlie" meme, if "so it goes with my friends, it seems" refers to Anakin also trying to kill him, then Obi-Wan puts his relationship with Cody on the same level as his relationship to Anakin, ergo canonically Obi-Wan also loved Cody in his own way. QED.

#sorry but clone erasure really sends me #also the civil-military divide really sends me #but mostly this is still about my hyperfixation on the clone wars atm #obi wan kenobi #star wars the clone wars #commander cody #codywan #obi wan comic

Remembering how the comics even ruined the Earth King's character... the feats in that were staggering

#absolutely no one was safe in hindsight #like...how do you even have smellerbee and longshot being alive? #we got some good things out of it specifically mai's aunt and a little more time with her mom #I think she was okay #but it was absolutely not crafted by people who sat down and looked back over the series and said ''okay so what happened offscreen HERE?'' #but seriously they had kuei just go back to his throne like no that man wasn't going back for AGES #also you really missed out on a whole Earth Kingdom Civil War plotline where no one knows where this nerd vanished to #and everyone's vying for succession all five generals are trying to lay claim to the throne #meanwhile the king's over in some fishing village learning what a ''boat'' is #he finally resurfaces after ten years like ''I finally know what everything is!'' and Haru of all people has to leave the throne room #because Aang made up some technicality about how he knew Haru's great-great-grandfather and he was actually the former King's banished bro #so now Haru has TOTAL legitimacy and Aang just pulled his Great Divide maneuver again #Kuei has everything straightened out in a month because of his newfound wisdom #has a daughter and we all know how she turns out #seriously though they just...barely tried

i think the dismissal of javi is an interesting decision moving forward like i think next week we'll be shown what it sowed in the cabin for new cruelty to unleash and there i care about travis only, but to me what makes it truly interesting under the light of travis and javi is the reaction of fandom to that death but also to the writing decisions for that to be the choice of it and thus the wilderness... how little javi figured in people's minds like does it speak to the writers inability to make the audience connect with the secondary characters or is it part of the isolation the characters keep wielding as a weapon against each other, is it more fandom's moral failure for dismissing early the brown children, there's still time to sort these things out but regardless that javi's death is the group's first conscious kill we as audience experience almost chronologically with them....

i think it speaks a lot about how twisted the community built around the cult is going to be, as it mirrors times, spaces, and audiences, the yellowjackets have already deemed those too weak, as lottie and shauna saw before of jackie, to be the first ones to go, people have pointed out how convenient that the coach ran away, that javi was left behind, that probably the wilderness would have also chosen those deemed with too much weakness to survive in a show of physical and even spiritual strength (as lottie did by surviving shauna and taissa and natalie's strongheaded narratives of their experiences in the wilderness) to die, and thus: the eugenics of it all, ben scott is disabled, javi is a little brown kid who had already been dismissed on account of being a kid and seemingly at most annoying to them all since no one seems to have even entertained him as a living breathing being besides nat and shauna, and idk whenever survival shows like these are brought up.i often think that it. is very unbecoming that people keep dismissing race in the survival show like white people haven't historically used pseudosciences and any fucking tool of reason within reach to talk to justify social darwinism like i see 😑🤔😒

#yellowjackets #yellowjackets meta #like it's not just girlhood it's white girlhood it's christian girlhood its the way they're divider in thought even as they acquiesce with #martyrdom which is what canonized jackie and laura lee #like the paganism is tainted with civilization and their own cruelty #their own hormonal. violence without a hand to guide them through their coming of age #grief and fear turned to violent rage and cruelty

Just found out about the GO leak. Let's just remember that this was Amazon's fuck up and not the fans, ok? Let's try to not divide into factions of who did the right thing and who didn't cuz this was shared by an official source, so it's absolutely normal for fans to get excited and share it around. You can be upset about the leak but but but let's project that on to saying a big FUCK YOU to Amazon and maybe try to unite and turn this into an opportunity to support the writer's strike. How about that?

#good omens #neil gaiman #let's not divide #let's stay civil #Fuck Amazon #Fuck big corporations who don't wanna pay their writers #if the writers' demands were met a long time ago this wouldn't have happened #wga strike #❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ #Love to those who didn't see or share anything #Love to those who did #I'm still super excited about the show 😊

Hi my lovelies! I know most of you reading are here just to enjoy your favorite accidental kinslayer but I'd like make a statement regarding the HotD Fandom as a whole.

I've been seeing a lot of anonymous hate going around from both team green and team black stans and this all needs to stop.

Plain and simple: people are allowed to have opinions that differ from your own. That's what makes our world so vibrant and interesting. Life would be much richer if we could see from multiple perspectives and not simply from our own echo chamber.

Regarding Daemon vs Aemond. You all know where I stand and most of you know I find Daemon's character to be repugnant. That is my opinion and I am entitled to it just as you are entitled to disagree with me.

I've had several people who stan Daemon take something I reblogged (post found beneath this one) far too seriously and even stop talking to me because of it. That strikes me as mildly ridiculous, especially because we shouldn't be taking fictional matters so much to heart.

I've never been part of a Fandom so divisive and I wish we could all just take a deep breath, unclench our jaws, and recognize real people matter far more than fictional people.

#i know its a show about a civil war #theres enough going on in the real world to create divides #we dont need fandom doing it too #house of the dragon #hotd fandom #game of thrones

The pressing issue was land. In the post-Civil War years, Black-freedom advocates such as Edward P. McCabe proposed flooding Indian Territory with Black towns, establishing the demographic foothold for a future Black-majority state. As the chronicler A. G. Stacey wrote at the time, “There is a secret political society in existence . . . which is based upon the principles of Negro advancement, mentally and morally, and the future control of Oklahoma whenever it shall become a state.” The creators of such plans were blind to the concerns of Indians and did not hesitate to align Black and white settlers against them. Frederick Douglass assured a crowd in 1869, “The negro is more like the white man than the Indian, in his tastes and tendencies, and disposition to accept civilization.” Where the Indian “rejects our civilization,” he went on, “it is not so with the negro. He loves you and remains with you, under all circumstances, in slavery and in freedom.”

Gayle is not wrong to name Claude Cox and Alexander Posey as anti-Black racists. The more interesting question, however, is how their racism was shaped by concerns for their people, their polities, and their dwindling land. At the Sequoyah Constitutional Convention of 1905, several tribes sought to establish an Indian state from Indian Territory, bringing a petition to Congress that was swiftly rejected. The secretary to that convention was Posey, a complicated, sometimes contradictory thinker who was devoted to the politics and the aspirations of his tribe. To see his racism clearly is to see a desperate collision between the ambitions of Black and Native peoples.

....

When it comes to belonging, two cultural problems intertwine. Black Creek claims to Creek identity—at least in Gayle’s account—tend to be genealogical, full of blood essentialisms, and sometimes disengaged from the ongoing vitality of Muscogee culture. Figures such as Jake Simmons, Jr., for instance, seem to care most about leveraging Black success out of Native citizenship, leasing and selling Creek land to corporations. At the same time, the historically rooted culture of Muscogee anti-Black racism is not merely abhorrent but unsustainable, offering no path to the future for anyone involved. When it comes to citizenship, two political problems intertwine. Native sovereignty, in the American context, rests upon the legal authority of treaties. So, too, do Black rights to Native membership. The various arguments about Native identity bounce between cultural ties and political claims, all exuding moral authority but none fully authoritative. In this sense, one of Gayle’s maxims proves compelling: Black Creek stories, rich with both the subtleties and the crudenesses of America’s racial history, force us all to contemplate new forms of reckoning.

#this article is crazyyyy good #it provides a great perspective on slavery in the civilized tribes; ongoing conflicts over tribal membership; and is not overly simplistic #the more that we talk about slavery in the civilized tribes and discrimination against freedmen in these tribes the more the issues gets #shoehorned into the afropessimist perspective #even when people attribute the conflict to white supremacy #and yes. although beneath white supremacy is capitalism and forced scarcity #not to mention nationalism and nation state politics #but my point is always. always. that history never actually fits into the narratives we create to understand it #just like the present doesn't #its hard to avoid essentializing issues because you want to have a moral center and you want to comprehend something #especially through the lens of current politics and social organizations #and our historical foundation literally has taught us to look at american society as divided into a hierarchy #that roughly goes white/east and south asian/everybody else/brown latinos/natives/black people with natives and black people sometimes #reversed #and then we operate with the idea that someone is always on the bottom and someone is always on the top #and that oppression is the product of individuals all together choosing to hurt others for their own gain #or that certain elites use various oppressed people like marionettes to do their bidding #white elite rich elite whatever #and that oppression is a sliding scale based on how much you are oppressed but also how you are used to or on your own will oppress others #but there is not a single group in america that has not contributed to the oppression of another #not to say of what we do to people in the third world #none of our hands our clean and we are not ‘innocent’ #but the vast majority of us are oppressed and suffering in one way or another #and any liberation will be by for and with all of us #yeah

that poll going around about what labels folks prefer for the queer community has some folks in the notes going "we CAN'T use mogai it has CONNOTATIONS now" and im like... you mean the ones invented by terfs, aphobes, and garden-variety homophobes in order to try and exclude trans and ace/aro ppl and sow discord in the community?

yall gotta stop taking bad-faith actors at face value; they're making you look intolerant.

it was "we can't use mogai bc it could conceivably be used by ppl with paraphilias and fetishes and then no one will take us seriously" and "we can't use lgbtqia+ bc it's too long and confusing and we'll have to add the whole alphabet eventually and then no one will take us seriously" (in order to eventually shorten it further) and now it's "we can't use quiltbag bc it's too cutesy and no one knows it and no one will take us seriously" and all of this began with "queer is a bad, dirty word and people could use it to mean Anything and then no one will take us seriously"

you cannot please these people. there is not a configuration of words that they will find acceptable, no umbrella term that they will not twist to extremes in order to invalidate it, no line they will not cross in order to paint their bigotry as reasonable and the rest of us as predators.

stop giving them ground. stop giving them legitimacy. stop worrying about winning them over. you can't.

#discourse #happy pride! #this isn't about what terms you use! #use whatever! i don't care! #but stop believing the bullshit made up to divide us #turning off reblogs bc i do not trust ppl to be civil

If you're not seen or treated as a human being by the society you live in, how can you also be held to the standards of human behavior in that society?

You can't expect oppressed people with restricted rights to exist, and being under constant threat of violence and incarceration simply for being in a targeted demographic, then the social contract expected typically expected of those in that society can't apply to the groups seen as less than human.

Peaceful protests and voting isn't gonna be a valid excuse to stall change at a certain point, and those who seriously suggest it are a threat to liberation, not allies to anyone except their privilege the current system of oppression affords them

#human rights and civil liberties #full human experience #trans acceptance #trans liberation #liberation from oppression #cant hold people to human standards of behavior if they arent treated and seen as humans by that society #bigotry is a tool used by the ruling class to divide and distract us from the real threat #working class solidarity #the bourgeoisie is the real enemy #marginalized and oppressed groups are not who keeps raising the costs of everything except your wages

Whenever I talk about division I can feel myself turning into a raving mad prophet

#DON'T YOU SEE?? IT IS POSSIBLE TO BUILD SOMETHING FROM NOTHING #TO BECOME MORE PRECISE #TO REVERSE THE LOSS #WITH NOTHING BUT OUR HANDS AND THE MUD OF THE EARTH AND OUR MINDS AND OUR LABOR WE CAN CREATE ANYTHING #THIS IS WHY ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS USED THE CUBIT #BECAUSE THE LOWER ARM IS A COMPASS #Swing about the elbow and you can Divide #eilooxology

A trailer for DIVIDED LOYALTIES

I thought readers might like to see the trailer for Divided Loyalties I created for the Historical Novel Society conference.

For the Historical Novel Society conference a few weeks ago, I created a video trailer about Divided Loyalties. My first novel, this Civil War novel follows a young Irish immigrant named Maureen as she figures out how she can come to the aid of her adopted country. I thought my readers who weren’t in attendance might like to see what I created.

Is mathematics unconditionally good? ~ Sima Qian（司馬遷）'s Anguish: Mathematics Note 10 (Essay)

Manga drawn on the cover of my graduationgraduation thesis

“He was extremely wary of 'making. His job is to "say". In fact, he only said But what a lively way of saying it! It was a description that would have been impossible for anyone but someone with abnormal imaginative vision. Sometimes he is so afraid of "creating" that he re-reads what he has already written and cuts out the phrases that he thinks make the historical characters move like real people. Then, the person certainly stops breathing. You don't have to worry about "making" it. But what is "statement" to describe different humans as the same? When he thinks about it, he can't help but make use of the deleted words. After putting it back together and reading it over, he finally calms down. ”

``Ri Ling: Atsushi Nakajima''（中島敦）

What I want to pay attention to is the part of "statement of a different person as a different person". This is where my dissatisfaction with current urban engineering comes from. In other words, what does 500 liters/person/day, which is calculated as the maximum water supply per person per day, mean? There are many types of people in the world, some people use only 100l a day, some fools use 1000l. It's called individuality, but the "basic unit" of 500l/person/day originates from erasing individuality.

The historian Sima Qian's problem still remains relevant today. I absolutely cannot allow a study that kills individuality. The operation of "quantification" is a double-edged sword in that sense. If someone who doesn't know how to use it gets their hands on it, this sword becomes an extremely dangerous weapon.

Phenomena in the natural world are basically curvilinear, and when they tried to replace them with easy-to-understand forms—straight lines—the seeds of Western scientific civilization arose. However, even for the simplest curve, the circle, the π was a number (transcendental numbers) that could not be handled by triangle approximation. The Western conscience has the clarity to make the impossible impossible. But fools assume that a straight line divides all curves. There can only be "destruction"!
