No honestly the more you think about Genshin's 4.2 update the sillier and more unintentionally funny it gets.
4.2 spoilers:
Are you telling me that Arlecchino clocked, within one minute of meeting her, that Furina did not have a gnosis, was probably not an archon, and was a (physically) weak, cursed girl.
Meanwhile, the hydro dragon sovereign who worked with her for 500 years couldn't figure out that Furina had not an ounce of hydro power in her body?
Furina really said "I am the archon."
And Neuvillette said:

man the fact that the last few episodes before this one concentrated so much on the Wittebanes and how they are foils for Luz (and Camila) and the fact that they droped those Hollow Mind paintings on us a few days ago and the fact that Luzes worst nightmare was to become, to BE, like Philip and that she literally says to Kings dad that what they did and what he did aren’t actually that different, that they all did this for the same reason and then they just, lol. nope it is just so unsatisfying. like the entire plot of the show only happens because of the Wittebanes tragedy and Luz and Camila only avoid a bitter end because of their tragedy. like why make them so important if you don’t wanna actually deliver. why make so many characters foil and parallel them if not to actually deliver on that. why make Gravesfieled like that if you don’t want to deliver?

Thinking about the significance of Quinlan leaving that message hand-etched in a wall, a surface he would have touched with care and purpose. He left a message of hope, yes, but to someone with his gift it would be so much more than that.
Only when the eyes are closed can you truly see the way.
The living force lights up every being and leaves footprints in the sands of the universe. It defies time and space, lighting up past, present and future. This saying tells you to follow the force with such conviction that you walk with eyes closed. From there it will show you the way.
Someone like Quinlan would understand this intimately, because he enacts this belief regularly in connection with the past. His psychometry allows him to close his eyes and feel the echos of past moments. He used this ability to become a master tracker and see the way to whoever he sought. In a very literal sense the force allows him to see beyond sight and find the way. From Quinlan that Jedi wisdom is so beautifully on the nose. But it doesn’t end there.
He would have also understood that the act of etching the message itself would leave an imprint in the force. He would know how it would light up his message like a beacon of life, immortalising a single moment of wistful connection. Even if no one else with his ability ever encountered it, still it would persist. A tracker like Quinlan would be keenly aware of every trace they leave, especially while on the run. He knew he was leaving a marker, a beacon, that went deeper than the etching in the wall.
Quinlan may have never dreamed that Obi-Wan’s path might cross with his again, or that the man would come to run his own hands over that very same wall. But how very fitting it is that - despite being unable to ‘see’ as Quinlan could - this reminder to follow the force beyond the reach of sight combined with the stark relief in recognising its author, would ripple through Obi-Wan with a power not unlike an echo in the force.

what are like, your general thoughts on the locked tomb. firstly is it good or entertaining or both. secondly what do you like about it etc. thank you
hi, i rambled a leetle bit about the series here (mild spoilers under a cut) if you wanna give that a read. in general: i would say it is both good and entertaining, and i would recommend it. i don't read a ton of 'genre fiction' (dislike that term, but ygwim) so i'm not the best person to talk about how muir uses some of those conventions, but there's a lot to dig into imo, including quite a few intertexts (am still rotating don quixote but there are lots more). i was aware going in that the series was known for having Themes, but was still really impressed by what the series does with sexual violence as an expression of imperial violence and the commentary there, esp moving from the second book to the third. the use of necromancy as literally piloting around someone's body is part of this, although the worldbuilding goes much further than that basic concept in its interrogation of bodily and sexual violence, and the use and re-use of bodies as weapons, tools, and instruments for military and imperial purposes. this also ties into how muir examines articulations of gender and queerness that are permitted insofar as they are continuous with the social forms and power structures of the series's empire, and how those internally normative relationships and roles are disrupted outside of it (again, this is where book 3 really shines).
also, the technical skill in the writing is dazzling at points; in some ways, the series is also a demonstration of what 'fanfic writing' (i don't use that phrase in a derogatory manner lol) is capable of doing well. you could really spend all day just picking out striking sentences and imagery, and muir also uses different narrative techniques to great effect at different points in the series. i would say if you have any interest in, like, extremely accomplished prose that probes and deconstructs catholic imperial violence and its articulations onto the body, using the extremely rich symbolism of necromancy and death & resurrection, then this is a series you may enjoy.

im not a disney defender just a movie enjoyer but i find it wild that people are acting like the movies lately from disney are bad just because they arent as life changing as the older ones tended to feel. theyre still good movies? obviously they could be better and theyre not the same as before but theyre still good watches and often worth seeing at least once. also i refuse to say that an adam sandler movie was better than a disney movie (because it wasnt)
