My notes app VS Darthfett
Vader and Boba's Story is about hunger, hunger so bottomless and alive and consuming, it's pure hunger born out of two people being kept sated and sedated by force.
–
both of them are so hungry, so hungry, they're hunters by essence, on different scales. their story is: what happens when two people let each other eat through the other?
–
There are fewer things more enticing than the sight of Boba's blood on Vader's gloves— when the hunter hound recognises the true blood of another.
–
Boba and Vader's relationship really is about the way only a hunting hound can stop the momentum of another hound's sprint by viciously biting and tugging at his collar. Like, Boba leashes Vader in so fucking easily, and so does Vader.
–
Darthfett fics do play with the sentiment of "if you love someone let them go" as Vader's central mentality, as the core state he truly comes to learn only by the virtue of his love for Boba Fett.
–
Boba is very inviting, he wants to be taken, to be killed, he loves a good challenge; he loves the power it takes to kill him and he loves seeing someone who has that. It's alluring to the ones who do hold the power too, the ones he lets close enough, his submission is so eager and true.
–
The idea of Boba being protective of Vader, of shielding him— it's such a heady thing. you get this ultimate embodiment of power, and a much less powerful but ferocious person being so possessive of them. it's meaningless in the framework of power, but it's not about that; it's about love.
–
The thing about darthfett is, both these people are very much contained to their suit of armour and what it entails. The suit/armour makes their history and their personhood, the very specific and often subconsciously claustrophobic way in which they exist in the world. Their suit/armour is less an item of clothing and more a narrative defining their psychological, emotional and physical threshold.
so naturally most often darthfett fanfics are about the idea of unbearable physical intimacy and the pure gravity between Vader and Fett's bodies alone, the boundaries they have to cross (and the possibility of crossing it) just to exist with each other bared.
–
Speaking of which, i adore how Vader's existence feels so contained in every sense of the world, burning viciously while the flames keep curling in. He is neverending ember long after the fires ceased.

These two things can be true simultaneously:
People are always profoundly influenced by the norms, trends, and incidents in the culture around them, and it's not accurate or fair to reach a judgment that takes zero account of this.
People are not automatons of their cultures with no ability to think critically or exercise moral agency.
Let me give an example!
One of my favorite writers is Michel de Montaigne, who collected many, many opinions in his Essais and was dead before the year 1600. His opinions on women are generally ... not great by our standards, let's say.
He argues that women are irrationally and unpleasantly jealous and petty. He also argues that society is broadly unfair to women, men have wild double standards for them, and women's fundamental nature is not so very different from men's, it's education and society that makes them different.
I would not have a lot of charity for some guy making that argument in 2023. And I'm not going to give Montaigne a pass for every misogynistic argument he makes; those arguments are still wrong, factually and morally. But I'm also not going to go on about personal responsibility!!!! in a way that completely ignores his social context and refuses to give him credit for going so much further, however imperfectly, than most people in his time and circumstances would have.
