Rebels Rewatch: "The Call"

In which we gain whale friends. :)

RIGHT, SO, FIRST OF ALL, ANYONE WHO CALLED THIS EPISODE USELESS FILLER OWES ME TWENTY BUCKS.

Even when I didn't know the purrgil specifically would be returning I knew this was an important episode for Ezra's character development and for growing his unique Force affinity for animal connection.

Technically falls under the Friendship Fetch Quest episode type, albeit on a bit more of an abstract level.

I love the touch of the fog on the inside window of the Ghost that Hera has to rub off. Everyone's breath fogs, and they even look a bit paler and more harried, eyes more lined, really emphasizing how cold it is.

Ezra's face when he first hears the purrgil song, aww.

It's really interesting that only Ezra can hear the purrgil, even though Kanan also has the Force. Could of course just be his stronger affinity for animals--he's more naturally attuned to them--but he's also more sympathetic to the purrgil throughout the episode, the only one actually listening to them, so maybe that's why he's the only one that can hear. Nice little foreshadowing either way.

Love that even though Kanan can't hear the purrgil, he trusts Ezra enough to believe him.

Right, I'm suspecting I'm going to be using up a lot of my limited photos with caps of Ezra's face this episode.

Subtle animation appreciation moment: Sabine's double-take as she glances forward out the viewport and sees the purrgil.

Purrgil are presented as really interesting creatures, they're not actively malicious at all (unless you really piss them off lol) but they're big and tough-hided and can severely damage a spaceship just by brushing past them. They have natural migration routes that sometimes unfortunately run afoul of hyperspace lanes and ships traveling through them. They're connected to the Force. They live in space. They can achieve hyperspace, naturally.

They're like any herding group of big animals really, whales, elephants, moose, they need to be given a wide, respectful distance.

Which is why flying with them works. They recognize, "Oh, this is part of the herd now. Hello friend!"

Possibly the calls Ezra was hearing earlier was the purrgils' method of saying, "Hey, coming through, get out of the way!" because he says they calm when the Ghost starts flying with them.

Kanan praising Ezra for his good instincts. <3

Oh you know I'm gonna talk about the leitmotifs in this one, I gotta.

So! There are two main themes associated with the purrgil. One of them I'm going to call the "Hyperspace" theme, which is pretty self-explanatory, it's the track that plays when we learn that the purrgil can jump to hyperspace. This cue here that's playing I think might be part of the larger "Triumph of Nature" theme, it definitely sounds like it's in the same key and tempo. I'm calling it that because of the overall underlying archtheme of nature's wrath against the oppressive industrial world that features in this episode specifically and in Rebels and Star Wars overall. It's a very classic motif in extrapersonal conflict fantasy stories, the need to respect and live in harmony with nature, appearing in dozens of classic influential stories from Lord of the Rings to Princess Mononoke. (Both of which were inspirations for Rebels, funnily enough.)

Both cues are later going to come back in the finale.

All right, done with that tangent for now, back to Ezra making whale friends.

Lol he rolls his eyes at Kanan and Hera's argument.

Love how he immediately tries to connect with the purrgil.

The modified TIEs represent the Mining Guild's intimate ties with the Empire. The Empire supplies them TIE fighters to secure and protect their facilities and in exchange gets full exclusive access to the fuel they produce. Once again, Rebels says state corporatization of private industry = bad.

They're so low on fuel the front cannons stop working, Ezra's panic here is adorable.

LOL Hera's face when Kanan gets all smug about not shooting the purrgil. AND I LOVE THAT WHEN SHE CUTS HIM OFF ON THE COMMS HE COMES DOWN FROM THE TURRET TO PERSONALLY FINISH HIS GLOATING.

They're so married.

Love this little music box chime in the music here.

Kanan so completely on Ezra's side this episode it's so sweet.

Therapist!Ezra strikes again, getting Hera to explain why she's not fond of purrgil. Characters around Ezra just seem to have a habit of telling him their darkest secrets lol.

I remember a lot of people kvetched about the physics in this episode, apparently not realizing that this planetoid we're approaching is the source of the gravity. (It's certainly large enough.) And there is atmosphere it's just not breathable for humans, hence the helmets.

The lack of fuel is mostly a plot device for this episode but it works, limiting the movement the Ghost is capable of, necessitating personal infiltration, which puts Ezra more in contact with the purrgil in order to realize why they need the Clouzon. Also another plot element done way better in Rebels than in Last Jed--*shot*

Okay okay, less sequel salt.

Shut up, let me have this.

Ezra completely not actually paying attention to the plan lol.

"You said you just wanted to look at it!" "I did look at it... and it looked bad." <3 Sabine cannot resist painting a blank surface lol.

Gosh this sequence is just so... there's so much lightness and wonder and it just evokes a feeling of flight.

Ezra reaching out to touch the purrgil like the embodiment of every tropeiffic "A Boy/Girl and their [X]".

This is not Ezra's day is it? Lol.

Underrated Papa Wolf Kanan moment: The sheer quickdraw frantic speed at which he put his saber together and shoves Ezra aside to block the blaster shot.

Seriously, I timed it it's less than a second from initial alarmed shout to full saber ignition and blaster deflection.

Kanan's absolute trust in Ezra awwwwwwww.

Hanging a giant lampshade on the tendency for their plans to go sideways lol.

This is a unique cue, feels vaguely like a 90s animal rescue movie score. Which fits.

The running gag of Ezra just completely losing his head to be all, "Whale friends! :D" is hilarious.

Purrgil get colorful after they "refuel", interesting note.

Aaand down he go.

Love this handheld (computer held?) shot tracking Hera to the displays on the wall.

Kanan's spinny flip. <3

And the worry in his voice when Ezra doesn't answer. <3

:(((((

Ezra fortuitously landed on the back of a purrgil so he's not going to be falling to his death.

He is, though, in serious danger of suffocation.

Bbbbyyyyyy. :((((((

Once again embodying the spirit of every heartwarming animal friend movie ever.

And this is so cool. Love it when things get Force Weird.

This scene is also really well acted, Taylor does a great job of conveying the relief when he can breathe again.

"I can't believe we're gonna lose to this guy!" Lol.

REMEMBER THE OTHER LEITMOTIF I SAID THE PURRGIL HAD? THAT REAPPEARS IN THE FINALE LIKE A HEROIC HERALD OF EUCATASTROPHE? YEAH IT'S THIS ONE RIGHT HERE.

"TRIUMPH OF NATURE" BABY.

And the nasty foreman gets his karmic comeuppance.

Oh he got ate. He definitely 100% got ate.

Ezra gets his own cool spinny flip.

And there's the "Hyperspace" theme, closing us out triumphantly.

Even beyond all the implications and connections this episode has for the finale (and hoo boy are there many), this episode is just such a fun classic kind of adventure. It continues the spacefaring as sea voyages metaphor, has a little bit of a environmental message without being obnoxious, has gorgeous animation, is so SO important for Ezra's character and his unique personal Force abilities and it's just... delightful.

Imma just sit here, smug in the knowledge that I loved this episode before it became Plot Important.

Jokes on you it was always Plot Important.

⭐️ - Who are some characters that remind you of yourself?

{out of paprikash} I assume by "characters" you mean muses, and not just... all characters everywhere. Because we all want to go to sleep sometimes this week and you don't want me reviewing all fictional characters I know for traits like mine haha. Although...

...I will tell a short story about a character who isn't a muse because this has always stuck with me and it is the first thing that came to mind about a character that reminds me of myself. I don't write this character, but she comes from my favorite movie of all time, Kaze no tani no Naushika, or Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind. Here's a weird little tale, heh... below the cut.

This movie was released in 1984, when I was four years old. At the time, I was unaware that it was a Japanese movie, didn't know who Hayao Miyazaki or Studio Ghibli was, and didn't speak/know any Japanese. My parents bought me a VHS tape of a movie called Warriors of the Wind. It quickly became my favorite movie. It's a very complex story but in a nutshell, a brave, nature-loving princess is kindof ping-ponged around between a militaristic country and an industrious country who are warring with each other over resources found in the "Toxic Jungle," lol, which I later found out is actually called the Sea of Corruption in the Japanese version.

It's a metaphor for like... overuse, squandering, and depletion of fossil fuels in real life, because the Sea is a forest in which everything is oversized (the insects are huge) and very toxic due to this world's equivalent of nuclear weapons causing the soil to be contaminated. But when these giant insects and things die, their bodies can be used as fuel and other resources, which is exactly how petroleum is made in reality, from the decomposing bodies of ancient creatures, but yeah. Anyway, this princess, her name is Nausicaa, is kindof held hostage by these countries in various ways to try and use her small kingdom as leverage in their war and to gain access to these resources. Meanwhile she loves the insects, visits the Sea often, and is studying how to detoxify the soil.

I didn't know any of this when I was little, because I only saw the Warriors of the Wind version which, aside from cutting the runtime down from over two hours to below 90 minutes, changed everyone's names (Nausicaa became Zondra? wtf?) and tried to slant the story more in an epic fantasy war fashion instead of the environmental and war activism piece that it actually is. They cut out so much from the the plot that I never even got to see.

Fast forward to when I'm in high school, I love Japanese language and culture and am studying the language in school. It's at this time that I discover Studio Ghibli and start watching other films like Mononoke Hime and Laputa.

I had grown up loving animals and insects. I played with the snails, slugs, and pill bugs in my back yard all the time. Pill bugs, incidentally, were the inspiration behind my favorite insects in Nausicaa, the Ohmu, which I didn't find out until I was much older:

I was often made fun of by other kids for liking bugs, and they would come and step on ones I was playing with and I would always cry. I hated to see anything killed. Beyond that, I loved science and knew I wanted to get involved with environmental science, and eventually, I did. When I graduated from high school, I went to college for environmental science, and my chosen area of research ended up being soil and water contamination and how to use bacteria to "eat" pollutants to clean them up. As a side project, I also studied how plants can be used to filter contaminants out of water and soil, and how symbiotic relationships between plants and bacteria can enhance the abilities of either to remediate contaminated soil and water.

It was around this time that I found out that my beloved Warriors of the Wind was actually a bastardized version of Kaze no tani no Naushika, and found out that my favorite movie is actually about a half hour longer than I thought it was. I was honestly horrified, and I needed to watch the full Japanese, un-dubbed version, so I did. And I was shocked by what I saw...

Zondra was actually Nausicaa, and she was a scientist:

Not only that, but what did she study? The soil and water of the Sea of Corruption. She found out that it isn't the plants that are toxic, it's something in the soil, and that growing the plants hydroponically (using only water, no soil) resulted in plants that were free of contamination. It was her hypothesis that the Sea could be remediated with the proper cultivation techniques. But... no one cared. No one believed her. So eventually... she shut off the water in her lab and let everything die out of a loss of hope. This is her slumped onto her desk in her lab after she's turned everything off, just grieving the fact that no one cares about such research:

Now... at the time i was watching this movie, things were happening in my country politically that caused funding for a lot of environmental projects to be shut down. I lost my research job, but continued doing my research for free for over a year at my university because I cared so much about it. Eventually... I had to stop, and the project was never re-funded. It broke my heart. And then I watched the full version of this movie I'd loved since I was four years old, only to discover that one of my idols when I was an impressionable child was also a soil/water environmental scientist who struggled with a lack of interest for her research about decontaminating soil and plants...

...and I honestly had a moment. I started crying as I watched it. I don't know why, I just... it was so weird that I had unknowingly followed the same path in life as this character without even knowing that was her path at all in the first place, and her struggles and emotions hit very close to home for me because I had cared about the same things and been ignored, patronized, and tossed aside too. It was honestly the most pointed case of me identifying with a fictional character that I've ever experienced in my life, and to this day it makes me emotional to think about it.

NOW... as far as MUSES that remind me of myself... Uhhhhhm. Hmm. Sadly, Freya. She got really screwed by love and so did I, and I just... I get her. I get that aspect of her. She was betrayed by her lover (or so she thought, I guess I should say), and I had a 17-year relationship with someone I thought I was going to spent my life with, only for him one day to turn around and say the most hurtful things and dump me really cruelly out of the blue. So I get it. I get being angry at love and losing that innocence and luster of believing in the magic of it. Romantic love now holds no beauty for me personally anymore and I just want to be single, so I get you, girl, I totally do. But also, like her, deep down, I still long for that? Like I still wish I could’ve had that idyllic love? I don’t believe in it anymore but I wish I could? Sometimes I cry when I see Zales or Kay commercials of these happy couples proposing and looking so happy because I’m like... didn’t I deserve that too? Freya’s final line at the end of Winter’s War always stabs me in the heart because I’m right there with her in that sentiment... when she sees Eric and Sara so in love as she’s laying there dying and she says, “How lucky you are.” Yeah. That’s... That’s some real shit right there. SORRY TO BE A DOWNER OMG. MOVING ON... XDDD

Channe is another muse who reminds me of myself, and she should, considering when she was first created in 2005, she was about 30-40% a self-insert OC to help me deal with some of my own trauma in life. I don’t write self-inserts, it’s just not something I do. She was the only one, so she stands out for that reason. Since then, she’s deviated a lot from me and become a lot more complex, but I always think of her as a creative child of mine for that reason, heh.

And finally, I would say AoU- and maybe a little CW-era Wanda reminds me of myself but for superficial reasons. Her hair, jewelry, clothing, and overall aesthetic is very much like mine, so she reminded me of myself on occasion with the many rings and necklaces, pulling her hands into her sleeves, wearing her dark brown hair long, painting her nails black... yeah that’s all me, heh.

That’s all I can think of at the moment. I tried, haha.

10 Favorite Characters

oh no i’ve been noticed @wisteria-lodge​ tagged me so let’s do this!

(this isn’t in a particular order, also I decided to do one character per fandom.

10. Sophie Hatter (from the Howl’s Movie Castle film, not the book. idk why but I just never got into her like I did her film counterpart)

Oh Sophie my love, crippled by anxiety and insecurity only to be freed of them and show just how spunky and cunning and full of life you are. Honestly my favorite scene in the movie is just when she’s cleaning the whole house because she has so much character and she just makes me feel great. Honestly this whole movie gives me those warm, fuzzy feelings. 

(Sidenote, recently rewatched it and damn there are so many details you can miss. Like, Sophie is already starting to throw off the curse and get younger by the time she’s at Howl’s door!)

((Sidenote sidenote, after watching Spirited Away, Howl’s Moving Castle, and Princess Mononoke all in the span of two days I realized in Ghibli movies they tend to have side characters state outright that the main leads are in love with each other which? Idk if it actually is a trend but it’s something I just picked up on)

9. Percy Jackson (Percy Jackson Series & Heroes of Olympus...I never could get into Trials of Apollo)

My. First. Love. For a fandom, for a book series that was slightly more adult, for a character. Percy is so badass and also so so loyal and amazing and I love him. I’m hardpressed to actually talk about him because just thinking about him makes me a little incoherent since I’ve loved him for so long.

8. Marinette Dupain-Cheng (Miraculous Ladybug)

For all my beef with Miraculous right now I still love my beautiful daughter. She’s so intelligent and good and badass. Oh my god some of her plans are so smart you wonder why she’s stuck with everyone around her. I’d die for Marinette even if she’d die for me. She’s my girl and I’d follow her to the ends of the earth. I have so many fics for her planned that I will never write. Also I freaking relate to every anxiety attack she ever has and she needs to be appreciated more and treated better. Not by the fandom, by the creators.

7. Lucifer (Lucifer)

A CHARACTER! THAT GOES TO THERAPY! Not just that lol. He’s just so charismatic and nice for all his devilish (literally) qualities. And also I know this shouldn’t factor in but SWEET JESUS TOM ELLIS IS HOT! His face, his body, his hair, his voice, his ass. Also I love every moment he sings and plays the piano. And HE NEEDS TO COME BACK RIGHT NOW! I DON’T CARE THAT DEMONS ARE STUPID AND NEED A KING HE NEEDS TO COME BACK! CHLOE FINALLY SAID SHE LOVES YOU!

6. Crowley (Good Omens)

The facts are I love me my sinnamon rolls. I love Crowley because he’s just so damn badass. He’s so smart and resourceful and I LOVE HIS PLANTS! Also I support all the headcanons about all the people over the centuries he inspired. ALSO ALSO I FUCKING RELATE! My best friend/crush rebuffs me and says we aren’t friends and my immediate reaction is to sleep until he needs me to save his dumbass. And he’s David Tennant how can you not love anyone David Tennant.

5. Kenny McCormick (South Park)

I don’t care that I put South Park here it’s my list and I can do what I want! Kenny is frankly just so dynamic and good. Like, Mysterion saving his sister from bullies or getting a job so he buy a doll for her??? And the fact he actually hates dying and the creators actually acknowledge it several times??? Even though it was just supposed to be a funny joke??? And holy crap he’s just a good, pervy, boy.

4. Hermione Granger (The Harry Potter BOOKS not the movies)

I almost didn’t put Hermione because recently I’ve been having very mixed and complicated thoughts on the franchise as a whole but it doesn’t change the fact that Hermione is sharp and ruthless and brilliant. Hermione could kick my ass and I would not thank her but I would tell her she has a mean right hook and that she was very badass. Part of the reason I like her I think is because I literally am Hermione. 

(Sidenote don’t you miss when they had Hermione’s hair actually curly and frizzy back in the movies)

((Sidenote Sidenote, in case you’re wondering I was going to put Jareth from The Labyrinth originally))

3. Jack Sparrow (Pirates of the Caribbean-except for Dead Men Tell No Tales that wasn’t Jack Sparrow that was the writers deciding to write Jack Sparrow as nothing but drunk and washed up because they had no idea how to make the new characters shine without dulling Jack Sparrow even though they did it just fine in the first three-)

As this list falls down (reference to Labyrinth ;)) I find myself more hard pressed to find favorite characters. I’m not so good at this as I thought. I either overthink them or just can’t decide. And Jack might be here only because I recently watched all the movies for the first time finally but whatever-I love him. He’s smart, cunning, a badass, and he just gives me feelings whenever he looks out to the sea or at Elizabeth or Will. AND ALSO ALSO he gives me feelings when in Stranger Tides even if I don’t like that movie because he shows he has a heart when he saves the crew and won’t let them die. But also fuck everything with him and Angelica, I didn’t believe for one second there were and had been stirrings between them ESPECIALLY when it all leads up to him leaving her on the island and never seeing her again! 

I had...A lot of feelings with those last two movies.

2. Catra (She-Ra and the Princesses of Power)

OKAY I SAY I HAD TROUBLE BUT REALLY THESE LAST TWO I KNEW IMMEDIATELY I WOULD PUT THEM DOWN. I just wanted to put them as 2nd 1st. Catra is a character who makes cry every time she’s on screen. She never fails to send me spiraling and I love her because she’s so complex and amazing. Catra trying so hard to be bad when really she is a better person than she gives herself credit for moves me and hurts me. I love her

1. Bakugou Katsuki (Boku No Hero Academia)

Anyone who knows me knows he would top this list. My favorite boy. Who ALSO sends me spiraling without fail. My thing for characters who make me spiral might be an indication of my self destructive tendencies. But I love him, he makes me laugh, he makes me cry, he makes me go doki-doki. He’s such a badass and so smart and legit he’s so hot. I have so many fucking headcanons about him and so many fic ideas which I will never post-I just can’t get over him.

(Sidenote there are legit so many good Bakugou gifs...Like I can’t get over how pretty he is!!) 

I’m tagging... @queenofthefaces​ @fiddler-unroofed​ @bipolarchick18​ @apollosukulele​ @bestprincesslys​ aaaaand anyone else who sees this!!!

Kit’s 2021 Questionnaire! 

Your Name: Kit

Characters: Rose Whitman, Susan Webb, San Mononoke, Tallulah Robinson, Dian Morey, Prince Briar/Beck Brooks, Laurette de la Croix, Amelia Gabble

Pick one of your characters and talk about their growth (we recommend choosing an older character, but it’s up to you!) What about their story has surprised you? What are you proud of? How have they changed from their original inception to now?

I wanna talk about my first boy, Dian. He has not been here long, but has gone through something very transformative recently. When we conceptualized the Dwarves last year, we pretty much decided that they’d all be Magicks and Doc would not be. So I added that as a chip on Dian’s shoulder. His siblings would always overshadow him. I planned on him not being a Mundus forever, but I didn’t exactly have a plan or idea what would happen to him. Now he has gone from being the shining golden older brother to this sad hermit vampire. He has fallen off the pedestal he never knew he had. I am really excited to introduce him back into society and for him to try to get back in his brothers’ good graces after such a betrayal. So much has changed for him in the past few months alone, and he is just now starting to feel okay enough to start cleaning up the aftermath. 🖤

Pick another character (or the same character if you only have one) and talk a little about where you WANT them to go. What are your plans for them going into the new year? 

Amy is my freshest child and I am so excited to get into the nitty gritty with hers and Gail’s backstories. The Gabbles are settling in and will soon branch out. There’s hopefully going to be a lot of muns involved in this detective mystery plot that we are going to weave for the girls. And hopefully in the next year the Gabbles will get to the bottom of it and get what they came here for! 😈

Pick a thread or a plot that you’re proud of and talk about why you loved it. 

I think I am biased in saying I really liked the vampire Dian plot. It’s still ongoing, but the thrill of the secret and the death para really made it for me! Having him closed for those few days was so sad for me and having to lie to all of you was fun and nerve wracking! I was so scared I was gonna let it slip lol. I also love that so many moving parts were involved, the Moreys are a chaotic bunch, but the muns are all awesome! Thanks for working on this with me! I really love you all and the energy you put into this with your characters and hearts and talent. I am getting emotional typing this but you are really the best fam I could have asked for! ❤️ 

In terms of your own writing, identify 1-3 strengths and talk about why you think it’s one of your strengths.

I think one of my strengths is flexibility in plots. I am always down to fill a role someone needs for a plot, but also in my own I like to involve people in ways that they want to be involved. I think a willingness to improvise and stretch to fit others’ visions in as well is important in rp and I really want that to be one of my skills! 

In terms of your own writing, identify 1-3 areas of improvement.

Something I will always say I want to improve is my overall writing style. I want to write more frilly prose and really flesh out actions and scenes more. I feel like I am pretty decent at writing out mental landscapes and how my characters feel… but I definitely want to have more descriptive writing outside of the mind! Also, can I like… not have every sentence be a run on? Kit, pls. Give the readers a break. 

Also, I would like to be more /aggressive/ with seeking plots. I feel like I let them come to me pretty passively, but in the new year… I will be reaching out to more people for fun things!

Pick one of your plots, or even just a character, and come up with a list of 3-5 “mentor texts” where you can look for inspiration or research, then write a short (2-4 sentences) why you picked those texts. (They don’t have to be books, either!)

Amelia Odette Gabble! This section is going to be a bit of a mess, I have a lot of feelings about the Gabble Girls. Firstly, the biggest and most obvious inspiration is Sherlock Holmes. The Gabble’s father is a mystery novelist and they lived on Baker Street before coming to Swynlake. The tactless Holmes is a big inspiration for Amy a bit past the surface level as well though. Her obsession with the chase, the abrasiveness, even the smoking habit (less intense than his though) are all traits that are inspired by Holmes! (Does that make Gail the pensive and soft spoken Watson?)

Secondly, Legally Blonde and Elle Woods. Amy had a pretty committed relationship before her family lost everything and she had to leave London. Harrison Aldrich III is my literary Warner. He left her as soon as her pedigree suffered a blow and immediately found another gal with a better reputation to warm his bed. Winning him back is a part of her motivation to find her family fortune. Other than that, Elle is a hyperfeminine power house. I would love to exemplify that in Amy as well. What, like it’s hard? 

Lastly, and my most #problematic… the Weasley twins. The way they are attached at the hip and finishing each other’s thoughts constantly is pretty much how Gail and Amy are. Clever and codependent, each set of twins holds their partner in life on a pedestal above the rest of the world. Hopefully, the Gabbles never have to experience life without the other though… 

And now, a wishlist! Jot down a few themes or stories or genres etc that you want to maybe pursue in the upcoming year! (i.e. a good ol’ fashion forbidden romance, maybe you want to dig deep into racial identity etc) This doesn’t have to necessarily be attached to any characters or stories you have now– it’s just meant to help you see for yourself what kind of stories call to your heart.

Ok, I said this in afterdark because it took a turn real fast with the real life parallel… BUT I would love to have a real Baddie this next year. A Magick who wants to cull the town of Mundus and let the Magick’s take over, they’ve been oppressed for too long. Non Magicks are weak, not meant for survival! I think one or two people would be perf to kinda orchestrate the idea I have and that’s all I wanna say because it excites me. 

Also, someone give me a love triangle. Or a will they- won’t they. Or a dramatic skinny love that they just DON’T GET IT. ENEMIES TO LOVERS? I demand yearning. We accept the love we think we deserve... and I deserve all the love plots. 

OPTIONAL: Why do you RP?

Because I love y’all.
