i am a big believer in letting music (and other media) come to you when you're ready for it. you may only know vaguely of an acclaimed beloved artist and suspect that you'd be into them but just... not ever get around to it. and then in 15 years one of their songs just hits you the right way and what a gift to suddenly have all of their works to explore! there is no hurry; what is good is always good.

i really think i just wrote an entire essay that at its heart said "you don't get it. math matters. also pictures. but most of all words."

#SUBMITTED IT #it's exactly 2000 words now. agony evil despair. #it may not be good but it is finished and that's what matters #truly a wretched question. which is why i said in the intro 'i will not be answering that actually' #wish me luck!!!! my examiner may hate it #i'm an academic risk taker <- shaking with anxiety #she speaks #school shenanigans

i don't know man, i just wish that we could [suddenly realising i'm coming dangerously close to expressing a real and earnest thought instead of filtering everything through several layers of intangible running bits] blow up the entire world. or something.

Oh my gosh. I just found this website that walks you though creating a believable society. It breaks each facet down into individual questions and makes it so simple! It seems really helpful for worldbuilding!

when I first said my general approach to essay writing is 'pick a fight with the question' that was meant in jest. but watch out

#we're no longer at the 'clever however' stage with this one #no cute concluding sentence of 'maybe the more important question is x' #i think i'm gonna have to steamroller in here like 'the fundamental premise of this question is flawed' in the introduction #wish me luck this could go SO WRONG #she speaks #school shenanigans

I think one of the underlying themes of rebels, especially Kanan's story arc, is that tearing yourself down all the time hurts others, not just you.

Kanan at the start of the series thinks he's not good enough to train Ezra, which makes Ezra think he's not good enough to be Kanan's padawan. Later, in season 3 when Kanan is so focused on all the things he can't do because of his new disability, he furthers a rift between himself and Ezra, because Kanan lets his new excuse to look down on himself, ahem, blind himself to all the good he can do. It's only when he's got a real image of who he really is— flawed and broken, maybe, but not useless— that he's best able to help those around him.

Kanan's self-confidence issues, his fear of failure, as is with most people, stem not from thinking of himself too low, but from thinking he's capable of things he's not— he should be able to train Ezra and he should be able to take care of his crew and he should be able to get along just fine without his eyesight, and he should have stood with his master instead of running. Kanan has set himself up a standard that he can't live up to— no one could, and it make him feel awful for not being able to attain to it.

Worse than that, it makes Kanan assume he's letting everyone else down, when, really, it's his fear of not being enough for others that tears those others down the most. When the other members of the crew, especially Ezra, see Kanan holding himself to such an impossible standard, they're quick to assume he holds them to that standard as well— which, of course, he never does.

All of this boils down to why Ezra's frustrated "I don't want the best teacher, I want you," is exactly what Kanan needed to hear from him.

Kanan didn't need to hear that Ezra held him on a pedastal like where he'd always put himself.

Kanan didn't need to hear that he needed to be the perfect shiny version of himself that he wanted to be.

What Kanan needed to see was that his padawan saw him for all he was and all his flaws and chose him for who he was, not for who he was expected to be.
