Don't ask me how, but my game glitched hardcore today and suddenly all land animals were locked in place. The glitched stop once i set up camp and slept, so I sadly couldn't get a picture with all animals.

I think Emerie’s been slowly coming round to what she needs to do for a while. Just the fact she's doing the right thing now even though she's visibly scared speaks volumes and I really like that. On top of that there's the fact she refers to the children in the vault as the children or by their names instead of just “the specimens” and how she uses Echo's name as well because she sees them as people and not just part of her work (which isn't a lot) but Omega proved kindness goes a long way in a place like Tantiss.

What are the best stories you've seen that have a theme of forgiveness? If not strictly about forgiveness, then any themes along the lines of retribution, redemption arcs, or even "seeing through another's eyes" (I may or may not have rewatched Brother Bear recently lol)

Well, we’ve got all my old standbys. Cinderella, of course, is a story that really has forgiveness in it, because Cinderella wholeheartedly forgives her stepfamily for mistreating her. (Actually, she might be “forbearance,” not forgiveness.) But they’re completely off her hook. I think there’s a really great moment of forgiveness between Nick and Judy in Zootopia that gets overlooked. Frozen, with Anna and Elsa. Brother Bear is a really great example, truly! I love that movie.

I think some of my other favorites include the original A Star is Born, or even the Judy Garland remake. (Those also might be more “forbearance.”) I think one of the best examples I ever saw of forgiveness was in Avatar: the Last Airbender, which everybody knows:

And of course, ‘Til We Have Faces and The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S. Lewis have some of the best-distilled forgiveness moments in any stories, ever. There are sweet ones in The Princess and the Goblin by George MacDonald, too, though they’re not as dramatic. In Anne’s House of Dreams, by L.M. Montgomery, Anne’s repeated forgiveness of Leslie’s coldheartedness or rudeness is a really simple but awesome example of day-to-day forgiveness.

I don’t easily think of a lot of good examples of it in stories. Brother Bear definitely has it, because without it, the story doesn’t work—Sitka wouldn’t help Kenai to learn from his wrongs, Kenai would’ve been killed by Denahi, Koda would’ve been left alone—but I don’t think forgiveness is the main focus of the movie. I think it’s a load-bearing component, but not the focus.

You’re making me want to see a movie that really homes in on that!

The thing is, I guess, for forgiveness to be the focus of a movie, there has to be a character that 100% definitely does the complete wrong, inexcusable thing to another character. Something that he deserves to be on the hook for. Then he has to acknowledge that he did the wrong thing and want forgiveness. And then the other character, the one who was wronged, has to willingly acknowledge that wrong and then let the offender off the hook. It’s not just “we’ll pretend this didn’t happen.” It’s both parties acknowledging that wrong was done, and having an exchange that ends in reconciliation. It’s got grace and mercy wrapped up in it.

Not many movies have true moments like this. Usually, one character is super sorry and the other character just seems to brush off whatever they did with like, a callback to an inside joke or something. (I’m thinking if Treasure Planet, to be honest.) Or, the situation necessitates that they put their conflict aside and work together, and then after the day is saved they sort of “get over” all that and swagger off into the sunset together.

As far as “redemption” goes—gee, all the old standbys! All the ones I mentioned above, plus Star Wars, plus East of Eden (the movie, not the book) plus, of course, my all-time favorite movie, Lilo & Stitch.

In Lilo & Stitch, you have the ugly little creature who belongs absolutely nowhere, is by definition a blight on nature and an abomination of existence, who was actively created to ruin everything. And he does it, and he takes delight in it. But there’s this little girl who gets pushed down, gets her doll chewed on, gets rejected when she’s most in need of his companionship—and she just keeps on loving him anyway. Because she’s chosen to, not because he did anything to deserve it. And then that infects him. That idea of family—of someone choosing to love you, no matter how ugly you are inside and out, and by choosing to love you, they create a place where you belong. No matter what. And that changes him. A germ from outside of him changes him from a literal world-destroying, home-shattering selfish monster into something new, something adopted, something loved.

I’d call it a story about committed love and grace, not necessarily redemption—because the focus of the story isn’t really “Stitch does something wrong but then through a process of pain and transformative struggle, redeems that wrong.” That’s not the focus of the story. But it’s still “bad character becomes good.” And I can’t help but talk about Lilo & Stitch once you get me started on it, sorry!

I think the best redemption stories are some of the ones I’ve listed above, plus East of Eden, Beauty & the Beast, and really, truly Sydney Carton from Charles Dickens’ A Tale of Two Cities.

And I think Kylo Ren was well on his way to being one of the best redemption stories of all time, if TROS hadn’t fumbled the ending so clumsily—but that’s another post for another time! I don’t know if this satisfactorily answered your question, but it was fun to ramble about and I’ll tag you if I make another post as more come to mind.

ok but i desperately want jenna and keith to like. they call leverage international, get involved, and eventually meet the og team and jenna goes HEY WHAT THE FUCK

#although i am slightly disappointed at the ending just bc #she was so clearly like #suspicious of all the coincidences #so i really thought she was going to turn around on one of them and be like YOU!!!!!! #the fact she apparently just dismissed it all and glosses over it and doesnt think it was that weird #just. undermines her whole Thing a bit + feels like it plays into the whole dumb luck magic vibe lr's had going and im not psyched about it #leverage redemption spoilers #leverage redemption #the belly of the beast job

Beauty and the Beast is so toxic! It’s Stockholm Sy-

#please no one cares #also hard to take you seriously when some of you mfs glorify hades-persephone retellings #it’s fucking fiction #it’s like if the love is 100% pure and wholesome and redemptive it’s abusive #when literally no love is ever like that #oh yeah also if they don’t wind up together the love was supposedly not real #feylin #batb #beauty and the beast

see the reason why I think Leverage: Redemption is camp and fun is because the writing is clearly not as dark and realistic and gritty as Leverage--that’s Nate’s story. L:R--and the writers are trying so hard to accomplish it-- it's Sophie’s story. and Sophie is an artist, an actress, a grifter, she embellishes, she paints in broad strokes, she enjoys campiness, it’s all an act for her and they’re all merely players.

I really like the three most recent Leverage Redemption episodes.

They absolutely nailed the atmosphere of these positive-thinking culty MLMs in the Pyramid Job. The company-specific mama language they developed: horrifying, but good. The main “evil” actress was cast really well for her role. The subplot with trumpet dude was funny, the play-fighting turned real fighting was almost too much, but I believe they toed the line and it’s certainly a level of ridiculousness they’ve reached before.

The Work Study Job let Eliot back in his natural habitat: Becoming one with the job pretends to be performing and making a ton of friends on the way. I LOVE the custodians‘ revenge subplot where every room and floor is closed due to maintenance, basically just any scene with the university staff. Breanna got to show off how smart she is. And evil dude, again, was cast well.

Finally the Belly of the Beast. Yes we love a new concept! (Maybe not new new, but non-standard.) The comedic potential and things fitting just right of the Leverage crew fixing things in the background. The seamlessness of the duo constantly spotting odd sings of interference and the crew having to react fast. Parker safe cracking video, nothing to add. Also the lumberduke scene. And also just the satisfaction of somebody actually acting as a guardian angel against harassment.That episode felt like it could have been part of the original run.

My personal opinion

Spoilers

Marvel Writers: Hank McCoy/Beast is irredeemable. He is a despicable villain. The version you will see in the upcoming comics is a clone of himself with only up to his mid-1980s memories/portrayal. If original Beast does come back, it will still be as a villain and he can never come back to the original team as a hero. He has no one to blame but himself.

#xmen #x men spoilers #justice for hank mccoy #justice for beast #justice for moira mactaggert #and don’t get me started on professor charles xavier #is he sketchy as heck? #yes #does it make sense for him to butt heads with his own students as they grow into their own? yes #does it make sense that he kills rachel summers and that apparently the idea and goal for the x-men wasn’t his original idea after all #marvel comics will tell you yes #this is why i like aus #current comic storyline and character journeys exhaust me in a bad way #hank mccoy #the beast #moira mactaggert #charles xavier #professor x #professor xavier #spoilers #just my opinion #but #i consider the krakoa arc to be one of the worst arcs to happen for the X-Men and Marvel in general #i also roll my eyes whenever marvel and dc comics insist on a current change/retcon being officially PERMANENT and unchangeable #because that’s when you know they are being so stubborn to make the changed thing work #but wind up limiting themselves in terms of smooth story arcs and character growth #friendly reminder that them flip flopping over Jean Grey’s actions and death resulted in the most memorable and iconic introductions to #The Phoenix Force #which then has been a significant part of her character for the rest of her existence for both good and bad? #also why make the most mutant-looking guy of the original five into the most irredeemable villain who gets no redemption? 🤔

Normalize the shitty looking art style because i find it endearing

Anyways, in my rewrite Goosefeather and Featherwhisker don’t really have a close relationship like they do in most stories, after what Featherwhisker says Goosefeather is reminded of his tragic apprenticeship with his old mentors; Sheeppelt and Pearnose.

I promise… i will make some sappy good stuff goose deserves it
