The New Republic subplot in ep3 was explicitly anti-statist. That was the point. As @gffa pointed out, we didn’t see a single friendly or trustworthy face representing the New Republic, and that was the point, because this subplot is saying: the state is not your friend, nor is it trustworthy.

The only person who seemed to be a sympathetic ally turned out to be the O’Brien to Pershing’s Winston Smith. But more than that, the New Republic officers who place so much trust in her were unable to tell the difference between a fascist and one of their own.

At every turn, the idea that “the New Republic isn’t the Empire” is subverted. Pershing is encouraged to touch the mountaintop because “this isn’t the Empire, live a little” - but in fact, touching the mountaintop IS prohibited. At surface level it’s presented as a harmless prank to make Pershing jump, but in fact, his tentative faith that they live in a free world is misplaced. Pershing does not touch the mountaintop.

Pershing acts to continue his research illegally because he has made the error of actually believing in the principles the New Republic promotes for itself. His chatbot therapist social worker says: yes, we should do everything we can to help the New Republic. Pershing is punished for engaging directly with the ethics. Will his research do good? Will the citizens of the New Republic benefit? Will people live better lives as a result? It’s irrelevant for these purposes what the actual answers are; only that asking the question at all is prohibited.

Pershing fails to realize that the New Republic is not its own propaganda, something that the more socially sophisticated people around him all understand. The wealthy man in the opera house says: that’s why I should just keep my mouth shut, like it’s a joke. But it’s not a joke. These people clearly did not recently come into their status. They went to the opera house under the Old Senate, and under the Emperor, and they’ll continue to do so under the New Senate. Pershing attempts to engage with morality on first principles. The New Republic does not, but uses the impression that it does to legitimize itself anyway.

The mind flayer scene is saying this: the state machine is always the same, the only difference is the intensity at which it’s applied. This was so on-the-nose explicit that they depicted a LITERAL machine with a LITERAL Intensity Knob. The mind flayer is a metaphor for the exercise of state power itself. Pershing experiences horror at the sight of the machine. Don’t you know what this is? Don’t you know what it’s done? What it always does? The New Republic officer says: don’t worry, we know how to use it. It’s beneficial in small doses. We’ll exercise restraint. And of course, once the machine is in use and you’re strapped in, there’s nothing you can do if someone stops exercising restraint. The function of the machine is the same.

“Beneficial in small doses” is the mantra of the complacent statist. In a show called THE MANDALORIAN are you that surprised that it’s taking the side of the Mandalorians? We’re on to our third season of Din refusing to cooperate with the police, refusing to do police enforcer’s work, refusing to trust institutions of power to save him, and people still expect the New Republic to come out of this as the good guys? The Jewish subtext of the Mandalorians (hunted to extermination by a state power, breaking all rules to save a life multiple times, orthoprax, lost homeland) is now literally just text (Din bathed in a mikveh and was witnessed by another Jew Mandalorian) and you STILL expect the state to come out of this as the good guys?? Do you think the Nazis were the only government to ever mistreat Jews?

What I loved about Andor - and what I love about the direction mando s3 is moving - is the exploration of regime change. The brutal reality of it, the sense of plus ça change plus c’est la même chose, beyond the propaganda and the things people long for: relief, security, peace. Yeah the delivery is janky as fuck but I’m not delusional enough to expect Quiet Flows The Don here. Regardless of artistic technique, the story being told is about as antifascist as it gets.

So like sorry but if you perceive this subplot to be “Nazi apologism” because it validates the armed and insular pogrom survivors while criticizing the concept of state machinery beyond its branding, you may want to examine your priors. The cure for Nazism is not FDA-approved.

ted 😭

Season 1: We see more-than-a-glimmer of the hidden depths and pain, but his story is one of connecting, exploring, forgiving, and committing to a new place and to new people

Season 2: Ted's anxiety disorder forces him to take stock of his past, and he has to turn inward to very painfully connect, explore, forgive, and commit to himself

Season 3: Ted can no longer separate his life in London from the choice to be away from his son, and it weighs him down, detaches him, drains him. He makes the right choice; there is happiness; it's intentionally and unequivocally a sad ending. All the characters' happy endings are suspended in amber (even as we do get the mercy of understanding how they might live them)

#how did this finale both make me want the s4 we'll never get #and kind of want the s4 we vaguely might get although not for a long time considering the studio bullshit and the strike and also... #...the fact that i believe them when they say they don't know if they will want to make more #the unfinished business is making me insane #the more i think about all the different threads that tied up #the more they actually feel frayed and untied #in a way that makes for a satisfying ending to a novel i think #and as i sit with it i may feel differently #but it just felt so obvious to me that this story was about a fatherhood guilt energy drain overtaking a person #AND THAT IS VALID AND HE NEEDED TO LISTEN TO THAT INNER...DRAIN? BUT IT IS JUST SAD #ted lasso #ted lasso s3 spoilers #ted lasso 3x12 #hot dork club #meta by me #ted lasso meta

The illusion of Geralt, it had messed with her mind. Having to fight him like that, the coldness in his eyes as he held a dagger up to her.

“Hey, hey. I’m right here,” Geralt says, voice low, gathering her back to the present. His face is pressed against her throat, leaving kisses and bites, hot and wet on her skin. He’s real and warm and soft in her arms, all she can breathe and sense is him.

“Take what you need.”

She shivers as the words leave his mouth and it unlocks something in her, like he was the one reading her mind for once.

The illusion had nothing on her Geralt, eyes devouring her when she pulls back to look at him. Pupils dark and full of lust. And love too, so much love.

Yennefer kisses him as her hands find a path between them, popping the buttons of his trousers. A quick spell gets her panties gone and she can finally sink down on his cock.

It makes everything so much more real somehow, feeling him slide inside of her, filling her up so good. He sighs as she bottoms out, his dick nestled so deep in her hot wetness.

She wraps her arms around him again and neither of them move, except for Geralt’s thumb sweeping ever so gently on her back.

They hold each other for a beat, touching everywhere, inside and out, hearts beating in sync.

She clenches her cunt around his length once, twice. It’s like she can feel every vein, every delicious ridge of his cock and the way it curves just a little at the tip.

Geralt is quiet beneath her and she knows then, that he would let her use his body however she wants or needs. That their desires somehow match perfectly; her desire for control and his need to let go. It doesn’t feel enough to thank him yet she still does, whispering the words across his jawline.

He hums as a reply, curling his fingers in her dress.

They never needed many words, not really.

Yennefer feels a smile bloom on her face, getting her hand between them again to press them on her swollen clit. She’ll figure out other ways to show him how grateful she is...

going through the 'another one bites the dust'-montage frame by frame is such a straight boost of serotonin

there are many, many cute moments, but it's the fact that Lila and Five upgraded from hand-holding (derogatory) to hand-holding (affectionate) warms my silly heart. This show could use a bucketful more platonic hand-holding.

#the amount of her pulling him along and him looking vaguely grumpy but still giving in and twirling her around it's <3333 #they both so deserved a friend and i'm glad they accidentally found that in each other #personal #tua s3 spoilers

Samurai Guardians aren't even in the comic books. The hotel is just Super Jail or something and everyone there is one of Hargreeves weird enemies, some defeated by the Umbrella Academy and imprisoned there. It sits in negative space somewhere desolate or in a pocket dimension idk. I think they only serve cockroaches and the t.v. only has one channel. The bellhops don't have faces and the phones never ring. nobody brings luggage they're given luggage. Everybody gets a copy of "Be a Better You: Your Life In The Hotel Oblivion" by Sir Reginald Hargreeves instead of the Bible.

wild! thank you for the deep comics lore <3
