#i should prob sleep

I haven’t been active on tumblr or twt in forever. Nothing major triggered it, I got really busy at one point, and went inactive, but when things calmed down, I lost the habit of checking in and being active in fandom 😳... I’m really sorry for suddenly disappearing🙇‍♀️! Recently, I’ve gotten back into writing fanfic again. It feels fun to flex my creativity! Moving forward, I would like to try doing commissions, too. I will open a few slots soon. Tbh I’m not sure there’ll be any takers if l advertise on my decrepit meme blog. I’ll prob make a write-blr and crosspost my works there for easy reference, together with commission info. I’ll link it back here if I do that.

#if you read through all that i genuinely thank you #i've had the good fortune of interacting with a lot of kind and goodhearted people in fandom through the years #on behalf of everyone thanks for making a chill space other people wanna come back to #i should prob sleep #thats all for nwo

i had a Thought. naming-wise, Amidala is to Padme as Vader is to Anakin: a tool to an end.

Amidala is a public name, the one Padme first ruled under as queen, a title she chose to be recognized as. but Padme Naberrie is her birth name, the one that ties her to her family rather than to her duty. once she becomes queen at age 14, she essentially stops using her family name at all. she still goes by Padme with those she is closest to, but Amidala is the armor she wears to the senate, to her duty. she must choose to give up precious time and connections with her family in order to serve her people, and taking on this new name is what allows her to assume the identity of a leader, rather than the daughter, sister, cousin that she was before.

Vader is a public name too, one given to him in order to erase his previous identity as Anakin Skywalker, the name his mother gave him. Anakin Skywalker is a name bestowed upon him out of love; Vader out of hate. this new name allows him to perform his duty without the burden of his family weighing him down, for if he is not Anakin anymore, if he is but a monster who knows no better, he can absolve himself of enough of his guilt to persist. if he is to be a sith, he must relinquish the name that ties him to love, and exist only under the name of hate, duty, and service to his master. Vader is the name that allows him to assume the identity of a killer, rather than the savior, friend, lover he was before.

ok. migi & dali opening. i am going to talk about it now.

throughout the opening we see so many Things. the entire series up until the second to last episode, i hadn't paid that close attention to it because god that song is a banger and honestly i was more focused on the music than the animation, despite being captivated by it every episode. but that episode for some reason. i paid more attention that time and had some Realizations.

one question i've had every single time the opening has played has been "why does one of them take the cherry pie and the other does not?" throughout the opening the two of them are seen doing the same things, effectively mirroring each other, which makes sense considering it was most of the plot for the first few episodes, so i really didn't think about it too much. but with that pattern established, it's extremely strange when, at the end, one of them strays from the shared course of action to take one of the slices of cherry pie that's sitting on the chairs.

another thing i noticed when i actually paid attention was that the one in the shadows in all their activities is always dali.

and if that's not enough, we have this shot of migi and dali as sun and moon respectively, and i think we all have enough media literacy to understand the implications of that.

then we have this shot of them, showing migi floating higher and dali sinking lower.

all of these screenshots to say that the opening animation tells us exactly what the series, or at least the part that the anime currently covers, is about at its core. we see it in the series time and time again as these two try to make their way through the world.

migi is portrayed in the series as somewhat childish, frequently to a fault - generally more hopeful in what he believes, which shows in his actions and the way he interacts with others in a genuine way. dali is severe and bitter, much more driven by the idea of getting revenge for their mother, seemingly just for the sake of it at this point, and being willing to do it at any cost because he doesn't value anything other than his brother.

migi sees the good in things and, while still helping dali with their shared goal, is genuinely enjoying his life with this family and in this town. dali, on the other hand, is dedicating everything he has to their goal, not caring or bothering to invest any part of himself into anything else. (this is portrayed also by migi being in the light, enjoying the activities he's doing, and dali being in the shadows, spending all his time trying to solve their mystery.)

this conflict of priority between them results in the fight they have in episode 9. a showdown between hope and despair, over a bike in a river, all as a result of migi's off-comment about wanting to eat cherry pie again.

and now the bike. they state this explicitly in the dialogue, but it's the first gift migi has ever gotten. so when dali throws it in, he does not hesitate even a little bit to jump in and get it. the bike is meaningless to dali - just another thing to toss and discard for the sake of moving forward. he gives up on everything so easily because he never bothered getting attached in the first place. he's so quickly ready to abandon anything and everything aside from migi. there's no way that he can be happy like that and migi knows that. migi is all he has and they both know that.

the jealousy he expresses is just jealousy that migi is able to find happiness and value in things other than him while he's unable to do the same, as a result of his bitterness and his fixation on finding their mother's killer. he's jealous that migi is growing closer to other people and making connections that are important enough to him that he's not willing to just throw them away with the toss of a bike.

so he takes his brother down. he forces his head underwater, and asks if he's still thinking about that cherry pie (THIS LINE IS SO FUCKING GOOD!!!!!!!!!!!). he tries to drag migi down with him into his own despair, tries to convince migi that his beloved cherry pie isn't really all that important. that it's not worth as much as migi's acting like it is.

he tries to literally beat the hope out of migi. he is so desperate to be hopeless that he beats the shit out of his brother over and over about it.

but, of course, that would never be enough to stop him.

and we're back to the cherry pie. dali finally caves and agrees to go back and try to sort things out, not because it's what he thinks is best for their safety, but because it's what migi wants for his happiness. he realizes that he'll only continue to hurt migi if he pushes his own cynicism on him and forces him to leave everything behind, since he had the guts to get attached. even though dali doesn't really understand the value of the cherry pie, he sees how much it matters to his brother. he sees his resolve to experience those small moments of happiness again.

the cherry pie is taken from migi's side of the shot.

throughout the entire story, migi has been the one to see the value in the simple things, like taking walks with the dog, having friends to hang out with and do wacky bird shit with, riding a bike, and eating cherry pie together. he is not afraid to experience joy and is willing to fight for it, for both him and his brother, even if his brother doesn't see the value in it quite yet.

migi will see the good in things. he will have hope for the future. and he will take the cherry pie.

this is mostly in jest but heads up i might not post official art besides small doodles for a while because my drafts ran out and these past two weeks have genuinely been destroying my mental health so I don't have the capacity to do anything seriously art-related right now

#personal #random #blog stuff #might join a magma but i think that might be it #i have one small witch eclipse doodle but after that i'm gonna have to restock #and i unfortunately can't cuz my brain went kaput after a 17-page essay and too much stress on top of fasting #i'm a little under the weather as a result cuz my immune system took a hit from lack of sleep and sudden decrease of food #and also the idiots i'm forced to interact with have been stressing me out so #that combined just kinda ruined my ability to draw #i have a break coming up soon so i should be able to come up with something by then but #if i don't here's why #that's why i opened up art requests for whoever wants to do that #cuz i don't really have the ability to come up with stuff rn #i'll still be on tumblr cuz i like it here but #no non-doodle art this week and prob none next week too #so uh yea sorry bout that #anyways #will prob delete this later #(also sue and salty i absolutely love your aus they are very dear to me)

sometimes you got a bad feeling about doing something but you gather the will to power through and do it regardless, only for said bad feeling to prove true very fun

#meant to post this earlier but then went to shower and forgot. and this still isn't the original wording but anyway #sucks cause I do wanna talk about oc stuff but if people don't care then I really should just keep it to myself like usual #would prob be the same if I made that sideblog which is why I keep putting it off on top of the other reason #but bleh enough negativity. just feeling worse than normal cause I should be sleeping already #silver rants
