I just finished Tabula Rasa on Netflix and it was really kind of fun because I saw the first twist coming pretty early on and that prediction coming through and being so obvious lulled me into a false sense of security and I really did not see the second one coming.

I wonder if that was intentional. Like lob a low ball early on so the audience has false confidence in how well they can predict the plot, then wham hit them with one they really didn’t see coming.

The third I was a little suspicious of, but was still mostly a surprise.

Anyway, that was a ride 😆

#and it wasn’t like #completely out of left field #that second twist was really earned #it changed the context of a lot of the earlier scenes #excellent plot twisting #the third one took it a little off the rails… #but the first two were really solid

So I’ve been stewing on this…

(It’s really long because I have no control over my feelings 🙃)

Echo has always shouldered the roll of “rally man” for the emerging rebellion. At first, I thought it was simply because he had only ever known life as a solider, and operating as a paid mercenary for a stranger with increasingly questionable ideals (Cid), just didn’t sit right with him. A conversation between him and Hunter on Bracca reinforced that theory: 👇🏼

Then I wondered if it was maybe just deeply engrained loyalty, and an intense devotion to his former captain that fuelled his desire to join the cause. After all, Rex was the one that put the plan in place to rescue him from the Techno Union. Maybe he felt as if he owed his captain a ‘life-debt’ of sorts. It’s even possible, when he was first rescued, that he felt the same sort of debt towards the Bad Batch, and that may have been a driving factor in his decision to go with them.

But then there was this: 👇🏼

And suddenly, my previous theory didn’t seem accurate. His continued pleads, each time eliciting a larger and larger emotional response from him: 👇🏼

It no longer seemed like simple devout loyalty to his captain that was fuelling his desperation. It seemed deeper than that, as if there was a deeply emotional, yet unspoken reason why his top priority had shifted to helping the rebellion. And it was a strong enough pull for him to upheave himself from the comfort of the squad that had whole-heartedly accepted him. Enough to send him into the clutches of unknown imminent danger, with few allies and fewer resources. And then we got this: 👇🏼

This exchange could easily just be rolled off the shoulders, and it rolled off of mine the first time I saw it. But there was something about Hunter’s comment about “being enough” that sat kinda odd in me, and I started to wonder. Maybe Echo’s persistent urge to aid in the bigger cause had nothing to do with loyalty to Freedom, his captain, or his brothers… Maybe it had everything to do with guilt. Maybe he struggles to get through his days, thinking about all the brothers had been forced to betray while his mind was under the control of the Techno Union. Maybe the weight of knowing how many brothers were lost on his account, rendered him completely submerged in shame, and this is how he was trying to make up for it.

And then I remembered Hunter saying to him when he left: “Wherever you end up, remember what I said.” Had Echo had conversations with his Sergeant about his feelings before? Had Hunter tried numerous times in the past to rid the ARC of the guilt that he walked around with on his shoulders?

If there's one thing that's really shocked me since I started my conversion into Judaism, it's the staggering amount of antisemitism on the left. I knew it was there, and I knew it was harmful, but I never expected it to be so insidious. There are so many things that went over my head, or things I shrugged off because hey, it wasn't affecting me.

Now whenever I'm on a leftie forum, I feel like I'm the sole spokesman arguing for the humanity of the Jewish people. I have to deal with all the casual ignorance of people who know nothing of the culture talking about how they're not antisemitic, but....

But this whole "chosen people" thing makes me uncomfortable even though I don't know what it means

But all religion is evil, and they need to stop clinging to stupid and antiquated traditions

But just say you hate Israel if you don't want to be spammed with the Palestinian flag every time you speak Hebrew

But I'm going to misquote and misinterpret this part of the Tanakh to own the Christians

But admit that you're privileged and rich and don't actually experience bigotry anymore

I'm not even Jewish! I don't have the authority to speak on these issues because it's not my culture yet- but I never thought I'd be met with so much open hostility and scorn when I tried. Judaism only has a place on the left insofar as it's funny and palletable and disdainful of all those bad Jews who don't assimilate in the right ways. As soon as you step out of line, Judaism is just spicy Christianity, and deserving of the same derision as its oppressor.

And I know that everything I've said has been said before in better ways, but I'm just so exhausted by being treated like the scum of the earth by people I thought I could help educate. I had no clue it was this bad.

#jumblr #jewish #antisemitism #i'm a minority in other ways and i've always been treated with respect by the left so this came completely out of left field #no pun intended

courtney miller smosh mouth tntl has SUCH a specific vibe to it that feels. distinctly unhinged. something about courtney's ability to not break combined with how amanda and shayne riff off each other makes it feel MORE like psychological warfare than the prior smosh mouth tntls.

Just an hour of three people making devastating one liners, followed by silence from everyone stoically taking psychological damage, before an even more ridiculous one liner follows it. Like a roller coaster of roasting.

if you listen closely, in each one of the silences here you can HEAR the two singular brain cells zipping around and taking psychic damage every time something ridiculous is said. what do you MEAN deep fried old navy mannequin.

#smosh #amanda lehan canto #shayne topp #courtney miller #smosh mouth #smosh mouth tntl 3 #video #i keep trying to find stuff to clip from this but tbh the best clips are like over a minute and its all just: #amanda + shayne roasting each other with straight faces and increasingly unhinged back and forth #only for courtney to weigh in with something out of left field. with a completely straight face

[confused-stars]

#genshin #genshin spoilers #neuvillette #this is the best gift i've ever been given by anyone ever actually #also i better see some fanart of him doing ceramics this is the cutest thing that's ever happened in this game #i love that he's allowing himself stuff like this now. and also buying wriothesley ten whole boxes of tea #and carrying shopping bags for all his friends #making wriothesley a joke gift and completely throwing him off for a second #i can't believe lantern rite came out of left field and gave us so much wonderful neuv content #guess it is the year of the dragon

[t4tails]

I would suggest liveblogging RWBY bc it’s currently infesting my brain like a parasite but I know that you probably wouldn’t like it (not like that would stop you from watching it though)

people have suggested i watch rwby as part of my batposting mission since i have to watch its justice league crossover movies 💀

we need to get trant invited to a book club meeting so he can go full lefty dink talking vredefort school economic psychology with steban and ulixes. harry is like “trant i made some friends in martinaise that i think you’d like” and they go to a meeting together and steban and ulixes get on their high horse about the readings and the vocabulary etc but trant knows so much more than them. they spout a bunch of obfuscated nonsense jargon thinking it’ll lose trant but trant replies with a very precise and thorough critique of the logic that’s twice as complicated and by the end of the night their ongoing conversation is unintelligible to anyone but nilsen himself and trant has thoroughly earned their respect. they both are invited back and it becomes one of the only normal activities harry has ever regularly done with anyone from work. the one thing i can’t decide on is if it’s funnier if: a) harry gets completely lost amidst all the highly specialized language and concepts and just kinda sits there being overwhelmed, or b) harry shocks all of them by not only keeping up with but advancing his readings so that he manages some really insightful stuff on a topic trant thought he didn’t even know existed
