About AOTC!Anakin's "stalking":

I really wanted to understand why so many people call Anakin a 'stalker' in AOTC. I had already read about the meaning of the word and, as far as I remembered, it didn't seem to fit with Anakin. Then, I found another post some hours ago here on Tumblr, affirming this statement again. I finally decided to research about the term to be sure the definition in my head wasn't outdated.

Well, in short: a stalker is a person who practices the obsessive act of spying on or chasing someone, which can reach the unhealthy point of threatening the physical and emotional well being of the victim.

Once again, unless I'm missing some important information, Anakin didn't act like that in ANY moment of the movie. He's assigned as Padme's bodyguard, so it's not like he could simply distance himself and stay away from her since he recieved stricted orders from his superiors to keep her safe.

Now, about his behavior and personality:

Anakin was awkward? Yes, sometimes to the point of sounding extremely embarrassing.

Did Anakin have difficulty to socialize? Yes, but he wasn't always like that. Everyone who watches the Prequels can clearly notice the contrasting (and even kind of scary) difference in the way TPM!Anakin and AOTC!Anakin interect with other people.

Anakin was creepy? Not really, at least not intentionally.

I think the reasons behind those traits are his inexperience with romantic love (he was 19 year-old guy raised as a SLAVE for the first half of his life and then raised by SPACE MONKS for the second half until that point!) and his deep desire to show his feelings and form a connection with another person, but the difficulty in expressing himself in a healthier manner. All of this is related to his upbringing in the Jedi Temple, where he never learned to have a good relationship with his emotions and understand their true meaning. These are factors people should take more in consideration when analyzing Anakin's character.

It's also important to remember that, even saying weird things that could let Padme or someone else uncomfortable, and sometimes failing in behave the way the rest of society expected him to, he admired and respected Padme as a person and when she made her bounderies clear, Anakin would always respect her wishes and back it off, never mistreating her or feeling resentment towards her just because he was feeling frustrated. There was no moment in AOTC where Anakin made something to Padme against her will.

You can argue with me about how unhealthy and problematic their relationship was, list all Anakin's red flags or whatever you want (I might even agree with some of your points). But the 'Anakin stalking Padme' argument is one I have a hard time trying to understand.

(As if this wasn't bad enough, there are people calling Anakin a INCEL as well. Like WHAT?! WHAT THE FUCK IS GOING ON HERE!)

Dad: the capture the flag scene in the movie was good so I'm glad they're dedicating an entire episode to it

Me who has watched ahead: Haha yeah

#Percy Jackson #I hope he's not disappointed #also maybe I should rewatch the movie #the lotus casino scene may have invented cinema I fear #obvious disclaimer that the capture the flag scene in the episode is good it's just nothing like the movie (from my memory)

I had come across a post where someone was asked what their top five Vision of Escaflowne songs were, and so I want to share mine!

I'm not really good at writing summaries for each song, but anyway...I hope you like the music!

First Vision

It originally plays as the opening sequence for the movie (personally one of my favorite parts) AND IT SLAPS!! Going from the feeling of flying to slaughtering all your enemies on board an airship to get back what's yours. Epic.

No Need for Promises

The opening sequence for the anime. It is sung by my favorite Japanese songstress, Maaya Sakamoto, and is probably one of the first Escaflowne songs I've heard. Here's the full version.

Sora

An insert song from the movie. It sounds so pretty! I use it as my alarm to tell me to go to bed.

Yubiwa

Another song for the movie, and sung by Maaya Sakamoto. It's also one of my first Escaflowne songs.

Dance of Curse

An insert song in the anime (and a different version in the movie) that is used when the Escaflowne goes to battle. I really like the fervent sound of the violins in the beginning.

(Bonus songs under the cut)

Bonus 2: Bird Song

I realized I couldn't leave out two other songs that I adore, so they're bonus songs.

Memory of Fanelia

An orechestral rendition of 'Aoi Hitomi', this song is also pretty!

If you think you've heard this song before, you have (it's also in the 'First Vision song). This makes you feel like you're flying, right? I sometimes use it as the alarm to wake me up.

#Vision of Escaflowne #music #feeling nostalgic now #maybe I should rewatch both the anime and the movie #myndlessthoughts #Youtube

remember back in 2021 there were posts going around on here about that headline that was like ridley scott is upset that theres been no coverage about his new movie the last duel. and the gist of these posts was that people were like lol no one cares about it bc the plot centers on a woman being raped. you suck cry harder ridley. but like... did anyone even actually know what that movie was about? that it was basically a medieval court drama where a woman is forced to recount this horrible thing that happened to her in a very public way, and the two dumbass men involved making it about themselves bc to them it is a matter of stolen property and ego rather than this woman’s personhood being completely violated on multiple levels. and how its essentially a commentary on how rape cases are handled and the attitudes towards women bringing forth these accusations have not changed very much in the modern age. that was a pretty decent movie actually and handled pretty tactfully imo as far as these things are usually depicted in film

#like. ridley scott was taking a VERY clear stance with that movie. #and we can talk about how things like that should be handled. what to show when and how. and im not saying its perfect or #wouldnt be considered exploitative to some degree. but that people just heard that thats what is was about and were like. oh must be bad #another case of no media comprehension on this site and just knee jerk reactions to things #anyway i was just thinking abt it. i havent seen it since it came out maybe i should rewatch it

Honestly, hypothetically speaking, if I was hyper fixated on Bellerophon the way I am with Perseus, I would’ve written him and Pegasus like Spirit and Little Creek

No it’s not accurate but imagine Pegasus never actually being tamed and actually only helping Bellerophon by his own volition? Imagine Bellerophon slowly realizing that Pegasus is as intelligent as a human and finds out Poseidon was his real father which makes him and Pegasus brothers? The story will still be about hubris and how it’s kinda messed up to only do heroic acts for glory but instead of a goofy ass death the final note of the tale would instead be Bellerophon doing one final truly noble act, and letting Pegasus go…

#idk why I’m getting feelings over these #but I love a good tragic story #maybe I should rewatch the HTTYD movies #greek mythology #ancient greek mythology #greek pantheon #bellerophon #pegasus #Poseidon #poseidon greek mythology #poseidon god #chimera

actually deeply apprehensive about opening up my strange magic fic documents |:

#a butterfly obsesses #maybe I should rewatch the movie as a restart #as someone who's done most of their creative work during manic episodes I need to learn how to do it when I'm on an even keel #see this is why so many bipolar people go off their meds #it feels like the inspiration and creativity has been taken away #don't worry I'm not even considering it. the withdrawal symptoms alone are enough to stop that idea dead in its tracks #plus the ups are not worth the panic attacks and constant feeling I'm being hunted for sport
