okay so after Tales of the Jedi we're getting Tales of the Empire and on a complete non-squitur, in TBB episode 3x10 Hemlock says the other operatives aren't ready yet, which means there're more clone assassins in the making my bet is still on clone x (or the current assassin clone or whatever you call him) being Tech, because him being Cody just wouldn't be the same, it wouldn't be as emotionally devastating for Omega and the Bad Batch as the clone being Tech would be and I saw a theory that maybe Cody is one of the other operatives whose brainwashing just isn't done yet instead so hear me out, hear me out after Tales of the Empire, we could get Tales of the Clones, right? and in Tales of the Clones we could get the story of what happened to Cody, that maybe Cody tried to escape the Empire in TBB 2x03, but he was caught and sent to Hemlock's sick assassin clone program, but the badass he is he's resisting the brainwashing and he maybe escapes??? MAYBE WE COULD GET THAT STORY OR SOMETHING??? WHERE HE ENDS UP ON TATOOINE LIKE HE WAS SUPPOSED TO IN THE OG KENOBI SHOW SCRIPT???? I'D BE SO UP FOR IT OKAY???

#tbb s3 spoilers #tbb spoilers #tales of the empire #tales of the jedi #tales of the clones #MAYBE #star wars #give me tales of the clones #they deserve their own season #if we're going with jedi and the empire for now #they should be next RIGHT?? #PLEASE I'm begging you to give Cody his own proper story #he's such a beloved character by the fans and he deserves as much hype and love from the show creators as Rex gets #at least he deserves his own story where he's not just a sidekick or used for someone else's character growth #if he dies in TBB s3 it's for cheap shockvalue and to advance the plot or the bad batch's character growths and I'll fucking scream #because that would be such a waste for such a great beloved character #commander cody #the og Kenobi show script is my Roman Empire #even if there isn't a story about Cody just give me tales of the clones anyway #I need all the clone content in my life #text post #I'm rambling #but I have a lot of feelings about Cody #tatooine husbands maybe?

going off of what dwreader and ghostfoolish have been saying better than i can:

why do people think louis will still be a believable victim and it won't be racist if the show just has armand mess with louis's memories regarding 1x05 and how claudia died, and also be controlling him throughout the entire interview/relationship? like not only does it paint victims of abuse as unreliable and unstable, therefore not be trusted with anything*, but it also, just, shifts most if not all the blame from a white man to a poc? we've asking this the entire time, but they still don't have an answer for that.

*like statistically speaking victims of abuses' memories might be muddled/repressed from the trauma, so even though they know the abuse happened, people will use the fact that they might not be able to describe an entire fight in specific detail, or got some dates mixed up, or did not speak up sooner, to paint them as mentally ill liars, or even abusers themselves. which is why i think giving louis false memories in 1x05 is still victim blaming in a way, because it encourages the trend of victims not being believed.

#iwtv discourse #fandom racism #yeah like i'm fully confident the creators are smart and can write their show better than i can but #if these little hints and teasing turns out to be a red herring like it did for 1x07 then it regardless might have #encouraged some of the audience to initally just disregard EVERYTHING louis says in season 1 and think he has no agency #which goes against their original statement of not jumping ahead and letting the tale seduce you you know? #i really just want to enjoy the ride and see where the show takes us and love all the stuff we've been given lately it's just #i keep being reminded these fans exist if i'm not careful where i look lol #i do get marketing is a thing and maybe they think they constantly need to tease SOMETHING #a shocking reveal or a revisit promising something more in order to get more seasons seeing as it's so easy for shows to be cancelled now #but like every time new content is released it also brings out the racism

too much discourse about whether it’s realistic for mina to distance herself from the New Woman, not enough discourse about whether it’s realistic for mina, an assistant schoolmistress in england in a novel published in 1897, to have much of an opinion on the new woman, a phrase [probably] coined by a series of dueling essays in a north american literary magazine in 1894, the latter of which, while we’re here - the one that actually used the capitalized phrase New Woman - was written by a financially successful female novelist who was using the concept disparagingly and didn’t think women should be able to vote

#i will defend bram on this i think people are underestimating how inherently radical women’s rights as a concept has often been #a smart woman with ambition and agency disclaiming any interest in the politics of gender is a tale as old as fucking time #i feel like maybe people who find it contradictory are younger than i am? #and do not remember the 90s aka the great era of I’m Not A Feminist But #to me it is the most normal and believable thing in the world #based on: interactions i have had my entire life #and also susan faludi’s ‘backlash’ #but also i am curious about where mina would have encountered the phrase and how it entered her culture #was she a big fan of the north american review #did she see the anti-NW piece in punch #dracula daily

Newsflash someone not loving an album doesn't mean they can't point out the gatekeepy mentality around it that the fandom has nor does it mean they don't get it

#i just don't love the production on the album thats all #yes it's a love story disguised as a vindictive tale #yes she plays into the villainous role the media and general public claimed she was in the aesthetic of the album and in 20% of it #yes it was an era where fans felt super close to taylor since it wasn't a general audience fave #me not loving it doesn't mean i don't get it

TOLKIEN TLDR: Where the fuck is Celeborn?

We all have a vague idea of who Celeborn is. He’s tall, he’s blond, and he’s married to Galadriel. He does, at some point, become the Lord of Lórien, and he dislikes Dwarves. I’d say that those facts are undeniably canon. This installment is not going to focus on what we know about Celeborn, though. This time, we’re heading straight for the question marks. 

In The Rings of Power, no one knows where Celeborn is. The only information we get is that he went to war and never came back. I mean, we all know that he was conveniently removed from the show to give room for Galadriel and Halbrand’s there-was-only-one-raft-shenanigans, but the funny thing about it is that Tolkien didn’t always seem to know where Celeborn was either.

In The Unfinished Tales, Christopher Tolkien himself states: “There is no part of the history of Middle-earth more full of problems than the story of Galadriel and Celeborn,” and, well, he’s not wrong.  

So, going age by age according to Unfinished Tales: Where the fuck is Celeborn?

Years of the Trees:

- Possibly in Lórien with the Nandor (one of the clans of Elves that never reached Valinor)

- Possibly in Doriath with the Sindar (another clan that never reached Valinor)

- Possibly in Alqualondë (chief city of the Falmari Elves; a clan that actually did reach Valinor) with Galadriel

First Age:

- Possibly in Lórien, meeting Galadriel for the first time

- Possibly in Doriath, meeting Galadriel for the first time  

- Possibly in the haven of Círdan with Galadriel

Early Second Age:

- Possibly in Lórien with Galadriel (highly unlikely at this point)

- Possibly in Lindon with Galadriel

- Possibly in Doriath with Galadriel

Brief palate cleanser: We do know for sure that he did at some point journey with Galadriel to Eriador, and we know that they established Eregion around SA 700 (750, according to outside sources). Alright, let’s continue with the mess. 

Second Age 1400 (kinda depending on whether or not Celebrimbor revolted against him and Galadriel):

- Possibly in Eregion (if revolt: without Galadriel)

- Possibly in Lórien (with or without Galadriel; there are two versions of this because hey, why not make things even messier)

Second Age 1700:

- Possibly in Lórien

- Possibly in Rivendell

Second Age 1800:

- Almost certainly in Rivendell

Late Second Age:

- Probably in Belfalas

The rest is pretty clear. Some journeys in Rhovanion, staying for a while in Rivendell after Celebrían and Elrond’s wedding (do not get me started on the inconsistencies regarding Celeborn and Galadriel’s kid/kids), and then we reach the plot of The Lord of the Rings. In the Fourth Age, Celeborn sails into the West.

So… yeah. When people ask where Celeborn is in The Rings of Power, “who the fuck knows” is a pretty legit answer.

(A/N: All of these statements have been taken straight from Unfinished Tales Chapter IV: The History of Galadriel and Celeborn. Some of them are considered far more canon than others, but they all existed at some point. I’m sure there are even more statements that could be added to this list, but these are the ones mentioned in this particular chapter.)

#tolkien #TOLKIEN TLDR #lore #unfinished tales #celeborn #THIS WAS SUCH A MESS #the rings of power #i can't say i'm a fan of the canon divergence but yeah who the fuck knows where celeborn is

I think Tom (and all his alts) strive for freedom…

OH ABSOLUTELY

I totally agree!! I think just like- the nature of Tom and his alts (who ofc meta wise were all written after him) is that they’re all dependent people of some kind, usually as the result of their circumstance of existence

Whether that be like in Tom's case because Dianite (or Mianite in Godswap, albiet different dynamic) is the one to grant him reanimated life, making him sort of indebted to him- or Cassell who isn't necessarily bound to his god moreso that he's bound to his creators (Flash and Ianite). Mot also sort of has that tether element to him because Dianite technically also saved his life from the creeper spore infection iirc but I think it makes the principle of freedom a little different to him esp. because it turned into like a business partners to unrequited crush to sorta lovers kinda thing depending on your post canon

All of this translates to me into their kind of devotion as champions, and again how that's like different from Ianitee flavored devotion (based on the guidance of Ianite and trusting in her judgement to lead them the right way so she can keep them safe), or Mianitee flavored devotion (Like knights to a king, similar to Ianitees follow orders for order, kind of follow his principles rather than specific instructions from him). Dianite being Dianite and the elements of chaos being how it is, Dianitee devotion is like being an extension of him, not via principles or guidance but by intent like being mercenaries in service of him while still being tethered in fear of punishment if its not done right. And maybe yknow they don't mind the implications that come with that title (Mot's case, for example) I think that's where that desire for freedom comes for- a want to have an existence that isn't tethered to their god

side note this could not apply as much to Dianite and Cass in Aitheaca because Dianite takes the Ianite role in terms of swapped god positions (and Cass runs off Dianite's guidance in the same way as Jordan would to Ianite) as Flash and Ianite are more similar to Tom and S1 Dia but bear with me xD

So kind of like extrapolating from that- their more specific desires for freedom are all sort of tied to Tom's need for spiritual freedom- I want to like refer to the whole thing of the Thauminomicon-y traits Marsh had mentioned before, and how Tom has 'fabrico', which stands for craft/repair. It connects in the sense of yeah he's a zombie he's stiched back together but. ok hear me out. Who would have stitched him back together? It was implied in an episode of Isles that c!Tom doesn't remember the Minecraft Project- (because they're memories he can't return to, just big empty void in his head), or when he was alive/ill from zombification, but he hadn't died yet. The person that arrives on Mianite with Tucker is that Tom, he is all that chaotic goofy Tom is, but at the same time he's partially someone else's creation, sewn together in intricate ways to be the bringer of chaos for the god he serves- but beyond that? His humanity. At his core, he's human, not someone who'll just take orders blindly and him striving for his freedom from that tether is refusing to deny the things that makes him alive. And I think the other alts like ya said follow suit, in Mot maintaining his humanity regardless of his ailment through choosing to care for Alyssa rather than being just a ruthless chaotic killing machine when Rux!Dia dies or in Aitheaca the way I want to write Cassell as someone who was born as a weapon for Ianite but loves collecting vintage human things and views his innermost self through music. The visual I kind of go to is the idea of Tom literally crafting and repairing the parts of himself that make him feel trapped by breaking them apart, burning it, adding new things when he takes the hands of friends and yeah!! And I think this sort of aspect could also tie into him becoming Mecha Dianite as well in finding freedom by choosing the person he is, and owning it

Per your tags, Matthew has never been the leader and doesn’t even give off that vibe 😂 It’s always seemed like James, he may be quiet and doesn’t tell a joke every five seconds but it doesn’t mean he’s not the leader type like his father. Of course Wills son would be the leader, Matthew was also drunk the entire series so we wouldn’t have gotten his genuine healthy POV anyway. The short stories will be from the real Matthews POV not the drunk one

I mean, Matthew is Charlotte's son why can't he be a leader 🤨 also here's multiple quotes that show him being the leader/the one who looks out for everyone else & holds the group together

all of these come from the short stories written & published before Chain of Gold, and before Matthew starts drinking. Obviously Matthew's alcoholism is going to impede on his ability to care for others, both physically & psychologically, but tlh never really acknowledges it at all? I can continue to beat this dead horse into the ground but I think you get my point.

also Matthew's "real" POV?? he's suffering from an addiction not a possession 😟 just because he's mentally ill doesn't mean his POV would be ungenuine and not hold the exact same value as any of characters POV???? the hell???? also Matthew didn't magically stop being mentally ill at the end of ChoT, he will be an alcoholic for the rest of his life; he will never be able to causally drink, and it's entirely possible he will be relapse at some point. Healing is not some linear journey, and some days will be worse than others. However, I do believe Matthew is capable of getting back up after the bad days, especially now that he's told his secret to James & his family and more willing to accept their help.

#what. the. fuck. <- initial reaction reading this ask #I think receiving this ask & then proceeding to rereading a bunch of stuff to get the quote has made Matthew grow on me significantly 💀 #like am I??? becoming a Matthew fan??? after hating him for three books straight??? #ok that might be a bit dramatic but he's definitely higher in my character rankings. no where near a fave tho #I think it's partially because of all the Alastair parallels 😭 gotta love a good parallel #anyway becoming a Matthew defender!! because how could I not after receiving this fucking ask #matthew fairchild #chain of thorns #chain of gold #chain of iron #the last hours #tsc #the shadowhunter chronicles #ghosts of the shadow market #tales from the shadowhunter academy #chain of thorns spoilers #cot spoilers #chot spoilers #only minor but still

This is my own snobbery. But whenever there’s a wolf character in Japanese media and the translators go with Lugaru or Rugaru or some variation. It’s a WOLF character. It’s a LOUP-GAROU
