शेरों (अशोक स्तंभ)के बहाने हंगामा, विपक्ष की दहशत का प्रतीक

शेरों (अशोक स्तंभ)के बहाने हंगामा, विपक्ष की दहशत का प्रतीक (क्या भारत के प्रतीक चिन्ह को एक राजनीतिक मुद्दा बनाना सही है? अगर मेरी व्यक्तिगत राय पूछें तो शेरों के खुले मुहं को दिखाना एक बहुत अच्छी बात है. ये शेर हमारे राष्ट्रीय प्रतीक हैं. शांति हमारी आत्मा में बसी है लेकिन बदलते दौर में अग्रेशन दिखाना भी बहुत जरुरी है. क्योंकि आज के पॉलिटिकल और शक्तिशाली होते युग में हम केवल शांति के दूत बनकर…

So about Sabine Wren

When we see her in the Ashoka Teaser:

(Brilliant casting, wonderful hair, and costume design)

She isn't wearing armor.

And sure, she's not in combat, the war is over, but Sabine isn't a soldier, she's a Mandalorian.

Mandalorians are a people, children of Mandalor. That's why Bo-Katan calls Din 'brother' when she first meets him and refers to the rest of the Mandlorians as her brethren. (This is a basic translation of 'vod' meaning brother, sister or comrade in the way you might call a friend bro or sis.)

Mandalorian is a religious and cultural identity. The Resol'nare is the six core actions that are the heart of her culture/religion:

Wearing armor.

Speaking the language.

Defending yourself and your family.

Raising your children as Mandalorians.

Contributing to the clan's welfare.

When called upon by the Mand'alor, rallying to their cause.

Wearing armor is number 1. Some factions interpret number 1 as never remove your helmet in front of others.

Most interpret it as wearing armor and removing your helmet where practical.

(look, it's Sabine's mom)

Even Mandalorians who are not practicing, but are Mandalorian by Leniage will still wear armor. Not just because Beskar Armor is amazing, but because armor connects the wearer to their family who passed it down to them.

"The armor I wear is 500 years old. I reforged it to my liking, but the battles, the history, the blood, all lives within it, and the same goes for every Mandalorian. This armor is part of our identity. It makes us Mandalorians who we are." - Sabine

For those born Mandalorian, their armor is a priceless heirloom. Foundlings who are not adopted into a family that can pass down armor are gifted extra pieces of armor by the entire community. Every scrap is sacred and goes to someone, it either connects you to your family, history, and blood or to everyone's family, history, and blood as part of the greater family of Mandalorians.

We've seen Sabine without her armor before, when going undercover she's worn imperial uniforms, but it is strange to see her forgoing beskar by choice.

I love how the design uses patches where she had emblems on her armor (I did that for my Disney Bound of her). It's very thoughtful costuming. So what is the meaning behind having her wear a leather jacket (Ezra's Jacket?) and forgo armor.

Has she exiled herself for not being there during the purge?

Sabine was estranged from her birth family during Rebels, but her birth family and people remained a core part of her identity and motivation.

youtube

In this scene, her adoptive Jedi father teaches her to wield the Dark Saber and to connect to her emotional truth.

"The truth... is that... I left to save everyone. My mother, my father, my brother! Everything I did was for family, for Mandalore!"

Joining the rebellion was for Mandalor and to atone for the harm she had done to her people while at the Imperial Academy (her system was imperially controlled, it was expected that she join, and she was a prodigy who joined young)

"I built weapons, terrible weapons, but the Empire used them on Mandalore, on friends, on family. People that I knew. They controlled us through fear. ( Scoffs ) Mandalore! Fear of weapons I helped create. I helped enslave my people! I wanted to stop it. I had to stop it. I spoke out! I spoke out to save them. To save everyone!"

In Rebels Sabine clearly identifies as a Mandalorian and that's an important part of her identity.

You can't tell she's a Mandalorian in the top photo, perhaps because she no longer believes she deserves to be one.

As shown above, her family and people are the most important thing to her. She left her found family to reunite with her birth family and found a rebellion on Mandalore which she led. However, after fighting alongside Bo-Katan Sabine felt that Bo-Katan should be leader.

(And so did everybody else, Bo-Katan was heir by blood but she was for all intents and purposes elected leader by popular consent)

Sabine then left to return to the Rebel Alliance and fight alongside her found a family in their rebel squadron and remained with them to safeguard Lothal.

Sabine left the Mandalorian Rebellion. She was not there when the rebellion failed. When the Empire set out to destroy her planet and kill everyone on it. She is a survivor of genocide and was not with her people fighting when it happened. Worse, the genocide was a response to a rebellion she started but was not there to see through.

It's not her fault. It's not any Mandalorian's fault.

But how must she feel?

Now recall the Resol'nare: half of the six core actions are about family, clan, and people.

Defending yourself and your family.

Contributing to the clan's welfare.

When called upon by the Mand'alor, rallying to their cause.

Sabine was not there to defend her family or contribute to her clan's welfare. She was not with Bo-Katan, the Mand'alor, she put in power, to help.

Perhaps Sabine no longer wears her armor because she no longer feels worthy of being a Mandalorian.

When Ahsoka sees her on Lothal Ahsoka is in gray robes like she wore in the Mandalorian.

In the Rebels epilogue Ahsoka is in white.

Sabine also looks different in this scene:

Sabine could not have grown her hair to the length in the Ahsoka trailer if that scene took place after the Rebels epilogue. However, she could easily crop her hair short between the trailer scene and the epilogue.

She's also wearing her armor again. Maybe when we first meet Sabine in Ahsoka we will see her in a darker place. She's given up on being a Mandalorian. She's grown her hair out in mourning. Maybe Ahsoka gives her hope, so she puts on her armor again and cuts her hair short, symbolically shedding the weight of grief and guilt.

What do you think about the blue haired guy being King Ashoka?

seems interesting! i admittedly know a lot less about him than i do the mahabharata-era characters but his emblem is actually used even today as the emblem of india and his wheel is the symbol you see on the indian flag

(the statue on the left is the lion capital of ashoka, erected after he converted to Buddhism to commemorate the site of buddha's first sermon)

the wheel of ashoka as designed for the indian flad and an example of how it (possibly) appeared in antiquity

he's definitely an interesting character although I am not at all sure what direction fate will take him in, as even just from browsing his wikipedia page it seems like his cruelty prior to conversion sometimes gets overemphasized to make a point about his piousness afterwards

#admittedly a hair bummed bc i really wanted another mhbrt guy but im not upset at him #he does seem neat #he has a...interesting history #only downside is he's very buddhist and we know how fate is abt that #my asks #also got these images off wikipedia fyi

HELLO

5, 10, 13, 15, 18, 19, 21, 29 from here

(i just realised that that's a lot so feel free to skip some/answer selectively if you want to do that!)

CAL HIIIII!!!!

(are you kidding ofcourse I'm gonna answer all of that, let's make a game out of it and see how long it takes me)(it's 15:05 when I started answering)

5. Favourite song in your native language

Can't think of one rn😭 The first one that came to mind is Venmadhi Venmadhi from Minnale because some guy was playing that on the bus yesterday. I think it's a lovely song, especially the third verse :)

10. Most enjoyable swear word in your native language

I don't really swear in Tamil😂 I only use words like stupid/wastrel/dog/buffalo... y'know the most common ones lol

But, again, the first swear word that came to mind is *looks around to make sure no one's listening* "watha" - which is basically the Tamil equivalent of fuck - because one of my friends called another friend that this morning lmao

13. Does your country (or family) have any specific superstitions ot traditions that might seem strange to outsiders?

Well there's so many but i generally think that doing rituals/ chanting slokas or vedas must be very strange to outsiders who aren't really used to that! Imagine being a white christian and you encounter a yagna happening with a giant fire, lots of huge shirtless men saying very weird words in their blaring voice, adding all kinds of different things into the fire, while surrounding people watched on... I'd be terrified 😂💀

15. A saying, joke, or hermetic meme that only people from your country will get?

SO BEAUTIFUL. SO ELEGANT. JUST LOOKING LIKE A WOW.

18. Do you speak with a dialect of your native language?

Gosh I speak so many dialects - depending on who I'm talking with. There's what I consider the normal one, there's the one mixed with random English sentences😂, there's the local chennai dialect for when I'm dealing with/in public or local vendors💀, there's the tambrahm (wow it feels weird to say it like that) dialect because that's what I was raised on in mum's side of the family

19. Do you like your country's flag and/or emblem? What about the national anthem?

I've honestly never thought about this before...

Flag - 🇮🇳 It's a good one, I like what it stands for. But no one would forget the struggle it would take when you were 6 years old and were asked to draw the national flag and you wouldn't remember how many spokes are there in the ashoka chakra😭 or even if you remembered, you wouldn't know how to divide them evenly throughout the circle... So much stress. 7/10

Emblem - it's a bit complex if you ask me but eh. It looks cool i guess. I like the phrase 'satyameva jayathe' ("truth alone triumphs" in Sanskrit) so there's that :p 5/10

National Anthem - I love it!! I like the picture it paints, listing out all those places! Only criticism is that it was very difficult for younger abi to sing the beginning because it was so very low and i struggled for a long time😅 9/10

21. If you could send two things from your country into space, what would they be?

Aloo mutter gravy and methi roti👍

29. Does your region/city have a beef with another place in your country?

I was thinking really hard...before i realised🤭

MYSURU. WHY do you do that to your sambar??? It's nice, I'd be lying if I said it's bad, but how?????? How did you come to the decision "oh you know what. I'm gonna make this taste sweet. Yeah."??

We went to Mysore one time and had some sambar and do you know what happened, cal? My cousin threw up, that's what happened.

(it was because of the long uphill travel but the sambar definitely contributed :p)

What you lack in sambar, you make up for it with Udupi rasam so. I forgive you😤

(now the time is 15:55)

"Hi, I'm not from the US" ask set

#cal tag #ask game #this WAS long lmaooo

I’m sorry I’m gonna stop bothering you with atla obikin stuff but you’ve hit my two major hyper fixations

Idk I just know Obikin looks so good in this AU and Ashoka is giving major Kora vibes idk

Anyway ANAKIN IN THISE BROAD ASS FIRENATION SHOULRDER THINFS THAY CURL AT THE FUCKING END No obi wan isn’t surviving any fire nation balls, just the same Obi wan in fur and that dyed blue fabric with beautiful patterns of the moon and koi fish for festivals and special occasions. At some point they end up in each others colors and Anakin cannot handle the sight of obi wan in black red and gold, Anakin in a Sokka esque outfit the blues and white one with no sleeves

ANAKIN EJYH THÉ GOLD BICEP RINGS AND A FUCKING TOP KNUGHT WITH THE fire emblem /&2&3’emekkekekendjxodke

!!!

Ok so maybe when they’re at the North Pole, Ahsoka wants to run around and explore (she’s absolutely a lil air temple baby), and she and Anakin befriend a group of regular citizens (which Obi-Wan is definitely not, as he’s always talking with the chief and wearing fancy outfits and looking all impeccable and regal), and they come back for dinner and Anakin’s been decked out in water tribe clothing (long parka and even the proper undertunics) and obi-wan is incensed. He cannot look away. They’ve found Anakin the darkest blue it’s almost black and he looks so good in it.

(Anakin had protested the color choice because in his mind the prettiest garments were the lightest color ones like the whites and purples and pale blues obi-wan kenobi is always wearing aroun—why is everyone giggling? What did he say??)

Obi-Wan gets his own moment when they go to an opera house in the Fire Nation, and he dresses in the dark red and jeweled outfit with the gold wrist cuffs and arm bands that the Fire Lord has chosen for him, and Anakin literally keeps leaving and coming back because he cannot be around this but if he’s not there, someone else may want to be there and that’s also not allowed!!!

#asks #but the first time they fuck it’s like when they’re wearing air nomad robes or something #obikin

Why is everyone criticising the new Ashoka emblem? To me it looks majestic.

People are having a problem with its bare fangs because it promotes aggression. The lions look brave, showing what ever challenges comes in front of us, we will face it as roaring lions.

I love the post you did on Anakin and his relationship with Ashoka vs Obi-Wan. I’ve decided that when it comes to them you are always right. I have not seen a single thing you’ve said that I disagree with. Which leads me to me next point…

I was wondering if you wouldn’t mind if you would bless us with a deep dive of Anakin and Obi-Wan’s relationship? How it worked, how it grew, the way they saw each other etc. I guess what I’m really asking if you will gift us with you just talking about them and how deeply contented they are with each other.

Only if you doing mind of course. I appreciate that you take the time to write out these post and share them with us. Obviously, you don’t have to use your time and effort to do this and I just want to make sure you know it doesn’t go unappreciated at all. 💕

thank you so much🥹 i really really love talking about these fools with you all here! it is such a meaningful and enjoyable part of my life and know i appreciate every person in the Obikin fandom so much. we are such a creative, thoughtful bunch with so many multivaried interests which brings such a plethora of creative energy to the discussions and dynamics between these two!!!

i have a lot of thoughts about how obi-wan sees ANAKIN, because we know how much Anakin flat out adores/obsesses/craves/desperately needs/admires obi-wan. but obi is such an interesting case because he was so indoctrinated into the Jedi beliefs and lifestyle and it all went so, so haywire for him. he was born in a castle and his kingdom burned.

literally literally he gave up his life's beliefs and the family he was born and raised in, his culture, his spirituality, FOR ANAKIN.

it's gobstopping, you know? that his life was upended psychologically, emotionally, spiritually, foundationally, by this one remarkable person and he was essentially "converted" by Anakin into a new way of thinking, being, and existing - to embracing these thoughts he must have had on his own and repressed, denied himself, or guilted over.

how else could one give oneself over so completely, if not by love - even painful and terrible love - setting a part of you free? a part that felt heard and seen and living and alive when Anakin's eyes lit up with that fire that might light the whole field ablaze.

that's the thing that fascinates me the most about Obi-wan, I think. his journey of essentially giving up every single thing in his life for this one ideal, this one person - when he formerly saw himself as this pinnacle and paragon OF his former belief system. when he was an emblem of perfection in his Order - looked up to and seen with reverence and awe.

he really, really must have had some doubts about his adequacy in some regards there, ones which where balmed by Anakin's recklessness towards the Code and towards regulation and towards tradition.

of course, in many ways these things Obi-wan lost were "taken" from him by Anakin & Vader but in many fascinating ways he also gave them up willingly.

he very much is the prophet in the desert, forty days and forty nights, the siddharthic prince relinquishing his throne, the monk, the wronged woman, the bearer of the scarlet letter, i mean there is so much THERE and he walks out from it wise, smiling, Enlightened, a force ghost

and he bears it all willingly, truly, for Anakin, his memory of this bright-eyed wonder, the one who showed him the Path, in misery and peace, through Luke and Leia.

#ask #anon #obikin #sw asks #i adore them your honor #i could talk about them forever and i will

Okay quick Chandrayaan 3 brainrot post again: can we talk about Pragyan please? Pragyan is literally the most adorable thing, that one lil robot on wheels can do so much! Here are some fun facts!

Pragyan has a payload called the APXS or the Alpha Particle X Ray spectrometer. It literally irradiates moon rocks and gets back the composition of what it contains! (Massive oversimplification) That little thing can do so much and it only weighs 26 kgs!

It has a shelf life of 1 lunar day or 14 earth days. And it travels at 1cm/s speed. If you're looking at the Moon's dark side right now, provided it is nighttime, you'll likely be looking at this lil thing taking baby steps and exploring the moon's surface all on its own!

They've fitted the rover with so many solar panels so there's no power disturbance. The reason for a short shelf life has to do a lot with how much solar energy it gets (again massive oversimplification) and there are often constraints to work with. There's been talks on improving the shelf life and recommendations but can I just take a moment to appreciate ISRO for being able to carry out so many precise experiments in this lil guy in a short span of 2 weeks?

Pragyan also has something called Laser Induced Breakdown Spectroscopy or LIBS which literally breaks down surface materials with lasers, measures the fucking plasma vapours AND REPORTS IT BACK TO SRIHARIKOTA/BANGALORE MISSION CONTROL.

It's total power generation is about 50 watts, has six wheels, has a camera and has a dimension of 3 feet x 2.5 feet x 2.8 feet.

The Pragyan wheels have this stamp of ISRO's logo and the Ashoka emblem on the lunar surface, thus cementing it on the soil forever!!

I'm not sure if Pragyan 2 will visit the crash site of CY-2 (Vikram 1 and Pragyan 1 ended up crash-landing about 600km from the South Pole) and I don't know if it is within the realm of possibility, since Pragyan 2 has a maximum range of 500m within the place where they're interested in conducting the in-situ science experiments, but it would have been a real homecoming moment. To think that it took ISRO 3 and a half years (2 shaved off due to the pandemic) to come up with a design solution to do the unthinkable and make some powerful discoveries is just..

I need a moment lol. I've already cried like six times, I do not want this to be the seventh.

And here are some images!
