one of the pieces of anakin's fall that everyone always misses is his use of the clones. anakin skywalker, who at 9 wanted to become a jedi. who was so haunted by guilt that he left his mother a slave. who violated the jedi code because he couldnt bear to spend another night not knowing his mother was safe. that anakin. that anakin was ok leading the clones to war. the clones who were made for this, made to work and toil and die without end, so the natborns could live peacefully.
i think if anakin wasnt reeling from the death of his mother and hadnt started slipping to the dark side already he wouldn't have agreed with the use of the clones. i think he would see himself in them - forever scorned, subhuman for the circumstances of their birth, desperately trying to rise above the fact that everyone they've ever met only has an interest in leashing them. so anakin being a general and agreeing to lead the clones is much more sinister than it seems at first blush.
the jedi order agreeing to lead the clones is its own egregious violation of the jedi code. theyre peacekeepers, not generals. they fight individually or in pairs, not in coordinated attacks (see geonosis). everything about them is not meant for violence, but for protection. but for the jedi to lead the clones to be anakin - it's even worse. the jedi know slavery is bad, but they do not expend resources trying to end it - for political reasons ofc, they themselves are at the whims of the republic - but anakin has Lived it. he is more like the clones than any other jedi, which makes his leading them all the more painful and heartwrenching and sick

that time when scarlet and violet was released around the same time as sonic frontiers and we were all talking about the bugs and bad framerate in sv but sonic fans were going “HA!!! everyone has to apologize to sonic for giving him shit for 06!! cause now theres a WORSE example and we can shit on pikachu for having a bad game!!!” and like look i actually did like 06 so this isnt coming from someone who hates sonic and wants the franchise to fail or whatever, but its so clear to me that we are never gonna escape toxic workplace culture and crunch in video game development because like, what’s happened to 06 and scarlet/violet arent unique phenomenons specific to those companies, they were the result of crunch culture and i really feel like having fandom wars over that is pointless. this can happen to literally any franchise you are not unique. sonic 06 is not retroactively “good” because something that “deserves” to be hated more finally dropped, yknow? both games suffer from the same problem and nothing will change or get fixed if we ignore that

ur playlist...i'll eat it... it's so fucking good...i want to print out all the songs and paste them on my walls...my god....
omg thank you anon this is such a big compliment !!!!!! I won't lie it was kind of an afterthought all things considered... I just had no clue if anyone would listen to it, but I have this huge playlist of [albums that fit the ghlr universe vibe] to listen to while I write, and I wanted to have a nice tidy one that encapsulated the vibe of the fic in particular. so I'm really happy you fw it !!
I privated it for a while and was even considering deleting it but now this makes me want to add a few more songs from my big playlist to the official one... hmmm
ghlr was inspired by music in the first place though (a very weird selection. chess the musical, early muse/gorillaz albums, pink floyd's animals, riot grrrl) and ultimately Amelia's story centers on music. I mean she is literally a professional musician in her own sick twisted way lol... and ofc there'll be a lot more music talk as it goes on and new characters show up :smirk emoji: but yeah. music has always been sooo central to my writing and I'm super happy to talk more about it

why do we have to assume that, maybe she wanted us to follow her, no humans on gallifrey, we were worried about you
i waited for you, you didnt come back and i thought you must have died, you just dumped me, i missed you
