I am the kind of person that firmly believes that in most cases, people should actually look at/ experience a media product before giving in depth opinionated criticism; that way they can actually have their own perspective instead being an echo chamber. Iā€™m specifically talking about things such as a book, movie, television show, video game; things like that.
Itā€™s this mindset that has lead me too look at many things when I couldā€™ve just listened to a friendā€™s review. Anyways, I beat Forspokenā€¦.

bsd fic authors i understand yalls pain SO well right now why is it so fucking HARD to write dazai. like i have a whole fucking spreadsheet dedicated to tireless analysis i have done on my part so i can accurately characterize him but he is such an unpredictable and morally gray character that it's hard knowing his limits and boundaries and where he draws the line for himself.
#i hate when ppl make him out to be a sadistic villain with no remorse. like did we read the same manga šŸ’€#but at the same time he is NOT crying abt all the ppl he sent to the grave. he sleeps just fine at night knowing he committed atrocities#yes he feels remorse? but he isn't like kunikida to weep at someone's grave for failing to save them#and then we have his emotions themselves#dazai isn't emotionless. far from it. he has difficulty expressing affection but yk he finds someone endearing when he trusts them#trust is very important to dazai and is one of the aspects of human emotion that he can fully grasp#but like everything else is in a hazy gray area that he does not feel like exploring. he feels alienated from his humanity bc of this#AUUUGHH can someone help me with character analysis PLEASE#I WASNT PAYING ATTENTION TO THIS MF UNTIL RECENTLY SO I MISSED OUT ON A LOT OF IMPORTANT DETAILS#see i would go and reread a few light novels but like i don't have time for that#and this is for dazai specifically. i am very well versed on his relationships w other charcaters#but just like asigiri himself said: it's very difficult to write dazai and write him WELL#so yeaaa i have a lot of smart ppl following me pls help#bsd#ALSO MY FRIEND STILL HAS NO LONGER HUMAN UUUUGHHHHHH I NEED THAT BACK BC I TABBED IT A SHIT TON#FOR LIKE CONNECTIONS TO YOZO AND BSD DAZAI AND WHERE ASIGIRI DREW INSPIRATION FROM YOZOS CHARACTER FOR DAZAI#THAT WOULD BE SUCH A VALUABLE FUCKING RESOURCE BC I DID SOME ANNOTATIONS IN THEM TOO BUT MY BOOK IS ANOTHER FUCKING STATE#I HATE IT HERE FML

Happy Wednesday! Iā€™m on spring break and blissfully alone at a cafe writing for a few hours this morning. The weather is just starting to turn nice (though its supposed to rain tomorrow) but I can feel spring coming properly, which makes me happy. I hope yā€™all are getting some nicer weather soon, too.
Iā€™m plugging away on my new WIP. I previously mentioned Iā€™m tentatively titling it Back and Back and Back. I also quite like Start at the End, though Iā€™m not sure if that description will end up strictly accurate, so might not work. We shall see.
Iā€™m going to go ahead and share the premise now (or rather, the inspiration) because why not? I was reading through @carryonprompts and found this one and quite liked the idea. I started daydreaming about it in earnest right away. This was the first thing I wrote:
Past
BAZ age 6, 2003
When I get home from school, Vera always makes me a snack. After that, Iā€™m supposed to do my homework before Iā€™m allowed to go outside and play. Thereā€™s always pages and pages of it, and itā€™s horrid, because itā€™s so easy, it makes me want to rip it to pieces, or hide it under my bed. And if I have to read one more book about Dick and Jane, I think I might scream. (Iā€™ve read every one of the books in my Beatrix Potter collections. Doesnā€™t my teacher know that if I can read words like presently, I shouldnā€™t need to read these baby primers?)
Even though I could do this stuff in my sleep, itā€™s going to have to wait because today he is here.
Or at least, I think he is. I only saw a flash of red out beyond the trees, but thatā€™s as good a sign as any. I donā€™t want to make him wait, because I donā€™t know how long heā€™ll have to visit today, so I have to plan my escape quite quickly.
I donā€™t imagine this holding too closely to the book/movie. Iā€™m taking inspiration from parts I liked (and can remember 15 years later lol) but shaping this to be a Watford-era, canon divergent fic with some time traveling/soul mate/destiny elements. It feels very ambitious for me to try writing time travel because it hurts my brain to even consume time travel media sometimes šŸ¤£ and I am much more of a pantser than a planner when I write. Then again, the prospect of pulling off this sort of challenge intrigues me. Wish me luck!

what do you think mulder thinks of diana fowley after biogenesis through amor fati? i don't think we really see anything on screen/in text (though i think it says a lot that he didn't have much of a reaction when scully came to his apartment & instead focuses on scully & their relationship lol)
yeah thereā€™s basically NOTHING in the text but tbh i think finding out for certain that she was working with CSM really kindaaaa snapped him out of some thingsā€¦mulder doesnā€™t give a fuck what people do to him, obviously, but itā€™s a different thing entirely to find out that your ex is involved in something like that. like there are MILES from ā€œmy partner makes me feel like shit and is maybe pretty abusiveā€ and ā€œmy partner is like 3rd on the call list of a eugenics group that treats women like test subjectsā€
like, scully was right, diana was monitoring MUFON women and collecting data on them. she was heading up the tests on cassandra. she probably knew the truth about samantha the whole time. just nasty nasty shit.
sheā€™s the villain in the amor fati dream: the dismissive symbol of abandonment that offers another path.
one of the most interesting scenes of dianaā€™s character to me, is in the sixth extinction, when she comes to see mulder in the hospital. and she knows what the effects of the artifact are, that he can hear what sheā€™s thinking. that, therefore, he knows who she works for and what sheā€™s doing. (imagine your ex-husband/wannabe boyfriend/obsession finds out youā€™re lying to him because he can read your mindā€¦.shit is crazy!)
and she tells him that she knows he knows. but that he also knows that she loves him.
and she does love him. thereā€™s no reason to lie about that then, she knows he would be able to tell.
scully knows it without hearing it, thatā€™s how she gets diana to save mulderā€™s life, ultimately. she comes to her and begs. tells her to please just think of him, who he is, who he was when she met him, who he is now. in the end, because of scully weaponizing how diana feels, diana canā€™t go through with it. she gives her life to help him.
diana seems to be one of those influences on mulder thatā€™s only really all that significant when sheā€™s close by. itā€™s like how all the tension in the beginning builds up to him getting in her car when she tells him to, leaving scully, when diana is there instructing him.
i think being able to know who she truly was and her true intentions and allegiances, prior to her death, really goes a long way in the way he responds to losing her.
donā€™t get me wrong, i think heā€™s upset. you can kind of see the shock cross his face when scully tells him. but he stays focused on his goal, which is to express to scully how important she is to him, in the wake of how discarded diana always made her feel.
mulder loved diana and grieves that she was killed, he doesnā€™t have it in him not to, but mostly heā€¦wanted something from her, right? he wanted that approval and ā€œaffectionā€ and to please her. he wanted her to believe him. the first thing that she says to disarm him (in the end) when she can tell heā€™s uneasy, is, ā€œhey. iā€™m on your side.ā€
learning who she really is, itā€™s easier not to crave her approval so badly.
(this is the crux of amor fatiā€™s ā€œlast temptation.ā€ itā€™s diana saying: youā€™re childish. you are going to fail. your path is not your own. ā€œyou have to let go, fox.ā€ and itā€™s scully countering: we need you. this is who you are.)
(itā€™s why he responds in the end by telling scully that itā€™s her thatā€™s the voice of truth.)
and then in death, dianaā€™s notā€¦there for him to want anything from!! so itā€™s like, again, yeah he obviously feels the loss, this was someone who meant a lot to him for over a decade. but also itā€™s likeeeeee freeing in a way? it makes things simpler in a way? (heā€™s able to communicate all of that to scully instantly after hearing diana is gone, after over a year of the tension hanging around it)
if you asked him about diana now, or even a year later, i think heā€™d be likeā€¦damn thatā€™s crazy! šŸ˜­šŸ˜­ mulder doesnā€™t have an awful lot of object permanence you guys sjdjsjfj
when scully comes to tell mulder that diana was killed, and he says to her, ā€œyou were my friend, and you told me the truth,ā€ the language matters so much. thatā€™s what scully called diana, ā€œi know she was your friend,ā€ and he turns it back onto her. you were my friend. you told me the truth.
in my opinion, itā€™s not that he doesnā€™t love and grieve diana, but that thereā€™s a freedom in knowing the truth. knowing who someone is, and their intentions. knowing who has your best interest at heart. knowing where you stand in the world, what you want to do.
thatā€™s really what allows for the openness and lightness of s7, in the wake of dianaā€™s absence. mulderā€™s always seeking, always learning.
#in a lot of ways diana knows mulder sooo well#like her mannerisms and every little word and phrase are so carefully chosen#like that moment in ā€˜the endā€™ when she says sheā€™s on his side and takes his hand#her VERY first line on the show is telling a room full of people that she thinks mulder is right. that she believes him.#something she continues to enforce when she needs to#i was just looking at ā€˜the beginningā€™ and the way that when he kinda doesnā€™t trust her after she took over the x-files#and they find her outside#she says ā€˜fox. iā€™m going to get out of the car. iā€™m alone. alright?ā€™#like she communicates with him in a way where likeā€¦.if she had good intentions it would be exactly how to help/calm him#but because she DOESNT itā€™s EXACTLY how to have him eating out of the palm of her hand#very interesting character very vile woman#anyway idk i think thereā€™s something very ā€˜good for him!ā€™ esque about how quickly he moves on from her šŸ’€#i think heā€™s able to for all the reasons i cited here about knowing what sheā€™s doing and who she is#but mulder is sooooo easily wrapped up in trying to please someone or trying to help someone and getting in a shit situation#and that controls so much of their lives for so long#and i was trying to think about it and i feel like dianaā€™s death kinda is the last time that heā€™s so trapped in that!#he still does it on a smaller extent ofc but itā€™s less about the person more the situation after diana if i recall#asks#amor fati#diana

Bro how is it even fucking possible to produce a food that like, has more calories than a single human can use in a whole day. Like a single meal. And you WILL get hungry later and you will have to eat later. How is it possible to make a meal like that. Bro how is this allowed

i love LOVE how we can pick the classes and how the scene just cut to Id and they just get jumped by MC. my mc is a healer and choosing the battlefrenzy zealot is such a funny option because i imagine my mc being unhinged after L's death
sksksksk I am so happy you like that and lmfao the combo of the frenzied zealot and a healer is tickling me so silly. Y'all have the best mc's šŸ˜‚
even if your hunter may be unhinged now (v understandable) I can only imagine that they were a very special breed of healer when they were still working (and training to tame the frenzy!!)

im choosing ignorance for right now but will cover it at the end of this (this being a whole essay šŸ’€)
So, it looks like Baylan has a green kyber crystal in his belt. This post and others have pointed it out
Tumblr media
Obviously, this begs the question of whom did it belong to? Immediately the thought would be Baylanā€™s. He was a padawan of the Jedi Order, trained into knighthood, and eventually a general during the Clone Wars. He created his own lightsaber hilt and (maybe, idrk exactly how it works forgive me) chose his own crystal. And, even if he didnā€™t, it was still a part of who he was for that portion of his early life.
We learned last episode he misses the idea of the Order. With Baylan, thereā€™s a heavy amount of sentimentality associated with the Jedi, especially if we believe (which I do wholeheartedly) that he lost a padawan.
But thatā€™s what begs the other questionā€”is the crystal from his padawan? Did he take it from his padawans lightsaber and keep it for himself to carry on the memory of that kid (who i like to think was a female but thatā€™s the girldad lover in me speaking)? Was it motivated by grief? Has he allowed himself to grieve at all, and if not, was taking the crystal his way of avoiding that emotion?
Or was it motivated by grief? There is no emotion, only peace. Is that when he ditched the code? How could he have any sort of peace after losing his padawan? Or, did he find that peace in keeping the crystal?
But then thereā€™s my other questionā€”whatā€™s the significance of it? Dave Filoni, from what Iā€™ve seen, is intentional. I donā€™t think adding what looks like a green kyber crystal in Baylanā€™s belt is just some sort of happenstance that didnā€™t have any thought behind it.
And, with Baylanā€™s character, itā€™s way too significant. When it comes to how he feels about the Jedi, how he seems to actually feel a little bad about having to kill Ahsoka in episode 2. His relationship with Shin. The padawan braid. It all screams significance to me.
So, when it comes to significance, what role is it going to play by the end of the show? I really cannot see it being included and making Baylanā€™s character so nuanced and intriguing and then not doing anything with it.
Mundi and I were talking about this earlier today. I mentioned these main two points, but also this-
Tumblr media
And then Mundi had to drive the stake further through my heart and twist it around by basically saying what if Baylanā€™s dying act was giving Shin his crystal (still thinking about this mundi THANKS)
I said a stretch at first, but it doesnā€™t seem too far-fetched anymore (except for her becoming fully good). Now, I donā€™t want Baylan to die. Heā€™s the last character I want to die and I love him, BUTā€¦
How he dies? I have no idea. Thrawn, Morgan, Enoch? Ahsoka, Sabine, Ezra? Betrayed by Shin? (very doubtful i feel) I think thereā€™s a lot of options of how it could happen, if the cards are played right.
So if we think thatā€™s the case, Shin is around when he dies or mortally wounded. Maybe she sees it happen to him like how he saw it happen to his last padawan. Shin is distraught, the most emotion we see from her because, well, itā€™s Baylan whoā€™s trained her and borderline raised her, and they have a moment together before he passes. Baylan makes her take the crystal (which would hit a lot harder if it is his original one and did not belong to his padawan) and they have some sappy goodbye thatā€™ll have me crying for six weeks.
Weā€™ve also all talked about how Shin and subtext from some of her lines that indicates some sort ofā€¦ longing or curiosity regarding the Jedi. If, within the last two episodes, those are confirmed or itā€™s revealed that Baylan could sense that feeling in Shin, i think (assuming he does die in this way) giving her his crystal makes sense.
Maybe she keeps it as sentimental in her own belt as I donā€™t see her turning fully to the Light in the show. But, if thereā€™s another season, who knows.
Going back four paragraphs, I believe if it were Thrawn or Morgan who killed him or orchestrated his death, Shin would not follow them back. Sheā€™d go with Ahsoka and the Gang TM home in the purrgil mouths. She clearly hates Peridea and, if Ahsoka and the crew are there to witness Baylanā€™s death (for whatever reason), they could have sympathy on Shin maybe and help her home.
OK. I hope that covered those thoughts in a somewhat coherent fashion. Hereā€™s where that chosen ignorance comes in.
Tumblr media
Shinā€™s braid. An anon actually sent a link to a tweet with both this AND the Baylan one in one post, so thank you nonnie for that!
Anyway. Shinā€™s braid. Three (four?) green kyber crystals.
Why.
Did they, for some reason, come from Baylan? Did he just have a cluster of them and he gave her a few to include in her braid?
If the braid was her idea, did she want them included in it? Did they still come from Baylan if thatā€™s true? Did she want to feel that connected to the Jedi from the start of her apprenticeship with Baylan to include them in her braid?
If the braid was Baylanā€™s idea, did he include them? Weave them through the strands? Did he talk to her about including them? Including crystals in a padawan braid wasnt traditional, to my knowledge (not that they are traditional jedi). Was it some sort of selfish choice? Was the ghost of his padawan still lingering in the middle of these two that he felt he had to?
WHAT DOES IT MEAN. WHY ARE THEY THERE. WHAT IS THE SIGNIFICANCE.
I NEED THEIR WHOLE STORY RIGHT NOW

Bobbyā€™s in the hospital for some minor procedure and the boys kind of assume that heā€™d want to be left alone and given time to recover. They know he hates nothing more than to be seen as weak.
In reality, Bobby is terrified as fuck, even though itā€™s a super simple and pretty noninvasive surgery, and he wants nothing more than to have his boys by his side. And thatā€™s what expects to have, thatā€™s the only reason heā€™s able to temporarily swallow his fear. And so heā€™s waiting for them to stop by before the procedure, but they never came. Oh well, theyā€™re probably going to visit him afterward then! Nope.
And very quickly he starts to spiral like heā€™s extremely worried he misinterpreted this whole relationship between him and the boys. Like he thought they were actually really close friends, but maybe theyā€™re just teammates who happen to spend a lot of time together because of their sport. Maybe they only invite him out when they have free time because of how awkward it would be if they didnā€™t and he ran into them. Maybe they find him super annoying and insufferable but only put up with him because heā€™s a good coxswain.
Obviously being drugged up from surgery isnā€™t helping, but theyā€™re only amplifying insecurities heā€™s already got in the back of his head.

OKAYYYY IVE WATCHED THE NEW INVINCIBLE EPISODE NOW. the mark and amber plot and the developments on the viltrumite invasion plot were soooooo interesting this show can really hit when it wants to huh
#thunder rambles#i mean i know we all knew that. i just forget sometimes when we have an extended scene about mark reading nolan's shitty pulp novels#and also when mark and his roommate slash best friend havent interacted onscreen since two episodes ago#when said best friend accused mark of ditching him for his gfšŸ’€#like i hope that wasnt just a throwaway joke please invincible please follow through on the friendship angst#lets pile on the heartbreak for mark lets fucking do it lets have his best friend take him to task in the exact same way amber just did#william has a different angle for it as well since mark not responding to him meant william had to deal with his bf threatening to khs#by calling a goddamn government agent#like this boy has 0 friends#side note its actually so smart for william's list of who to call in a crisis with rick be 1) mark and 2) donald#like yeah maybe the police are more likely to respond but donald is 1000 times more qualified to deal with that crisis#smart boy. and yet hes so one dimensional its not even funny#rick and donald are finishing their character arcs and exploring the fucked up effects of scifi trauma#meanwhile william: šŸš¹#i dont have the man_standing emoji on my phone so i had to put the male toilet signšŸ’€#anyway yeah. after mark has to confront the existence of his evil alternate universe selves#and the life of his mother and brother being threatened#lets force him once again to choose between big-picture world-saving duty and the needs of someone human whom he loves!#this time - william edition!#invincible
