@wayamy27narf aww thank you for sending me some numbers back! ✨ i tend to keep alposting to my sideblog as much as i can so im answering the ask here if thats okay
14. a song that gets stuck in your head a lot:
oh so many. but at the moment the song thats been stuck in my head the last few days is probably Everything You Know Is Wrong
16. has al parodied any of your favourite bands/musicians?
HE HAS and itll never stop being exciting to me. specifically nine inch nails and r.e.m.! the fact that he likes those bands so much too makes me so happy. he hasnt parodied the cure but that's okay im being so brave about it.
24. favourite fandom in-joke:
i do have to also mention the weird al sex-symbol-ification because 1) it's hilarious 2) he's in on it himself 3) it's 100% true 4) it absolutely sends me when people have the Realisation and are like "wait weird al is hot????? what the fuck?????" i genuinely think he should be the next tumblr sexyman i think it would be so fucking funny.
anyway.
aside from that, i also love it when people call him a wizard. or draw him as one.

Clone Wars     Shadow      Warriors
            Seas 4
Oh    this-   just    screams      edgy        ...   Whelp
So is Jar      Jar an     adult,       now,?            (Asking because before his    characteri         zation was force of nature to child
Now he    seems to have his own    personality.
Which is fine   if you want to change some details for the sake of a    better story,      (Or to simply      explore         a new       angle,).    Aesthetic
     Just.            need to make sure I’m holding them to the right standard,
    Okay,
   That-         was    relatively     adult,
  Mm
   Um.
   I
 Aight        .           .       Well-
   Wait 
    Did they just call Jar Jar     away from      Cou-ncil-
    .         I mean they are clearly    trying       which          is   some thing       I do       give credit   for-
   Though                The             Tone              Is            Robot-                 Ic-
       (Though that might be int-         entional since it seems to be hinting that this lady is practicing some kind of         mind tricks on him
   (Aka, he’s doing it         under           tox, because we don’t do suspension of choice in     dra-         mat         ic       Me-     -dia,
 S’up
 What?
  I-
  -
   H-elp
Screw my own   accou-   -ntability     -      See that was the correct   -amount of   emotion-
.        Okay        -         Right-
  Sus-       (pic)
    No one noticed the obvious people right there?
  Like not even      Mr. sus         there?
[or are they just so    kind that it’s like   oh yeah we were just talking hate speech     but go right ahead?
Logic?
 There
  Yeah    some shit is definitely going on,
   For sake of argument*     sake, i’m just going to assume that his reaction to      toxic    behavior
*Account     ability-
 Any way
  I-
  I’m still      going to try,
  Despite  you clearly saying you want understood
   Because assumed authority        - and assuming you know better than a person about themselves
     Is totally ok-
     - In this         society
-[Cries        in       sad    “accountability,”     -of-      war,        ]
  Whelp,
  In-    flue-     n      -c      e
 Still an  adult-
  Okay-
 Imagine    it was just a normal necklace     and he pulled that shit-
[Ok for the sake of argument I’m going to assume the necklace is symbolism for toxic influence,
  Being around it         enabling]
  It-         -       His voice voice dropped like         - 6 octaves
     Also I swear if they try to   excuse him      for his actions-
     No
    Mind over matter     -Okay, so they’re not excusing him for his   -actions,
   Me-          an         -       OK so it’s not naturally evil it    just comes down to the users      so that dude was still totally responsible,
  Didn’t    change    - much
    -     Ha-Ha
  Actual     gas     -lighting”
    Also     persuade,            -             Okay,     good not excusing him       from his actions,      -      Thing
The   gaslighting goes deep      -      Also isn’t the Darkside supposed to be      negative over involvement?      -       Aight-         -       -           A-lone
  Oh yeah that’s a great idea let’s just let the  dude that just got gaslighted and completely fell forward go back into the person who did it,
 👍
     Genius     
    (This Jedi Council is fucking                  brilliant)
     Gas-       Light-         Ing
(Note;      Confronting the gas lighter is never the way       to do it       (Inter-             Gen-)          (Excluding accountability of the abuser     (Gen-break           Venting Pro-      Ced- u        re)
 [as you’re usually too angry     to let them get a word in edgewise        And remain;           in control)
  With inter- gen productivity,         They are possibly given       five warnings before         Being          Kick        ed-]
   For the sake of argu-       ment as well       as simplicity-
    We’re stick       -ing with        bas-         ic-
    If someone’s acting toxic        with you, you         reflect and you don’t have to         hang out with anyone         you don’t want to,
    Logic
   This dude      is very clearly making it obvious that    he’s willing to listen to this person,
 And, enabling
“Cl-”
See he’s gaslighting him again      because   he thinks he can get away with it,
With no   accoun-       tability-
 (Or the small bit      this society      believes      in     which is    jail,”
Wr-
Oh!
 Is he a     Gungan      Jedi?
  Also,
  You Don’t  
    SAY!
(The repeated Gaslighter      who has shown multiple times to be     toxic,       Was toxic,    (And prepared to use any means to      subvert the         will? 
Prize  for the  most   in  competent      Je      di
 Like,        Serious-         (Really had to put those two    accoun  t-      ability- cells      to good -    use-”
(For   matting       issue-)
  The writer just saving us the effort of him coming downstairs -all feckin- weird, and the   obvious    “should’ve seen that coming,     “
   ?             ha-ha
    What?
Oh yeah       no the creepy magical stuff wasn’t enough of a      fecking clue in-
  Appar-
   Whelp-
  He   snapped out of that quick-
  Like didn’t even need a      reverse- mind trick
   Good for      him-
   And - actual-     nar-    rative-        -
   Whelp,
   Wreck-ing      -house
       Okay, but how do you think this is going to look to the general public like two Jedi,( very good at persuasion -    mind tricks’ -just showed up, now they’re leader and said Jedi are wreck-ing one of their minster’s houses-  
     One who could’ve     feign-           ed lack of support for the        war
     Like if this is a     set up-  
 the chips-      are about to fall,
 Da-
Okay, seriously how obviously evil,    was this person?
Like we have a weird creepy room,     The robots apparently hanging from the    chandelier    (eck)         And      the knife
   Like if this person      ever-       went-   through a checkpoint
   Also,        Oh-
    That-
   (That     really        does not      look good,)
    Bo-ss
   Yeah,       she clearly has    medical experience,
 (Also yeah    that’s really going to make it    better-”
 Oh yeah the    senator was      seen trying to clean up the      evidence-
    Well the Jedi ran out     full sword’s- a blazing
    (Instead of you know the       Senator chasing after him,         While the peacekeeper stayed behind and tried to        tend to the person,]
   Great     -        -       Or    Not-
Well- tensions    just got raised,
  Of,
 Ai.     Ght, 
 Whelp,
(Okay, no way he’s totally not dead      but sure-)
 A-i-
  -
 Whe-
   That-       sucks-          -         Un-     Con-cious
    That-   doesn’t tell me anything else-
   Like;        Critical      condition?
   D-usk
   Li-terally       no one else?
    (Like don’t get me wrong I’ve been a pretty big Jar-jar fan ever since the change-)
   But really, the Senator, the person that spends the most time away from your - planet
   That’s the person,     they trust the most?
  Ai-
  Hm-
Oh yeah just put on the deadly leaders hat-
   The rese-mblance-
   Not really?
   I mean all humans technically    look the same-
  But-
 Pretty sure Jar jar is a lot      scrawn-         thin        -er
    Also if they’re not going to listen to him as him       they’re not going to listen to him      as he pretends to be their (dead) leader
Also, please don’t go with the      liar revealed plot,
    Yeah no, they have completely different kind of light.   tones,
     The face structure-
    Co-mpletely         different-
     -
   Nope
 -Dead
 Di-ssent
  Agree
   I-
   OK yeah I’m just gonna go over the fact, that as previously state,  I am not a huge fan of the liar revealed plot-
    -or lying
  (No because it’s- unrealistic-    - or there’s anything wrong with it
  -people do lie
     -maybe because of how overdone and             poorly done it’s been,
             -With the liar getting off Scott free without any                  weight
               But I really don’t like this               plot-
-And    the   skip    button    maybe   used     ad-     nausuem-   -
       [Well- shit       [for reference; I was using the skip button ad nausuem when I randomly stopped at the part      with    Greivous
        Things just got a whole lot worse]
         [Tumblr             Refresh]       -
   Any        Way,
   Aww,     That’s kind of nice the    friendship and reliance       the dude has on      Other-        Half            -         Yes        ‘Boss       Leoni’        when someone gets         tox         you leave-        - In a      - relation          ship-  
      Also yeah he’s definitely not       ‘Boss         Leoni’            -            He would’ve stayed and tried to take the    tox
 (Aka Jar-jar is less ena-     bling, les-        tox-     And     Doesn’t       Take        It        For          Much        More.            Than            He            Has               To,
        (He’s   les   -s
      Dyfun.  -c)
      Okay
       Good            Job     -     Also - yeah   how’d you manage that         -         That-
Didn’t get   car   ried up the chain of   com-     mand-        -            Then again Gri-   evous has shown to be a pretty   shit boss.     -      So I can’t blame these guys    for being like yeah compl-      ete stranger     I will totally      take a nap       -right    ,now-         -      You        kinda      have      sticks-        -    [The rain is   really    nice,]
[is this the first time we’ve seen them use active     particle effects      for the camera?
  Either way       it’s really        nice            -
Oh,
They’re    
electric     sticks,
That makes   sense
[- bet     ter      for      Figh     t-      In-       g-
Stop one     1v1     -ing-        It
    I
  W-h
   Again this is what happens when you 1v1 it    and    don’t assume accountability-     - -   
 [Don’t fight a metal cyborg with metal sticks when you’re not prepared to take it, full way,)
   I-
  [I feel like this is supposed to be some    big build up but they only shared like one scene where dude was completely silent,]
  Like,
   Sacr-ifice
    Die to take someone out with you
[Great
  Now
   Ouch]
   Are   they actually going to kill off      grievous because this isn’t look-ing    too    - good      -         Shit-
 Dude-      is still not dead-       -       How?        -          Whelp-           -          Oh,    hey      where the fuck    did you come      from,
 I-           Ack.      Br-u-      Tal

“ damn it        he messed up the       script-,           -Pal   - patine
     Cap-
    Prison   break-
   Also yeah     that’s probably like        a vacation    for him-
 Given     how toxic these assholes     are           -            Ex- change           -           Damn             Ship      per-
      Also screw the 150 or how many other                 sena   -tors        -       Only     Amidala           -      matters          -          A-       ight-     -      Also, dude knows where everyone’s      lair,      Is,
 Like he pissed off Grievous with    -his
 Now he’s just chilling in this      dude’s    sipping earl gray       Or-      Some        Shit-
  Him
  Okay
 Getting a little    ahead of yourself     episode-       -       O k
    I
   Hearing this,  Skywalker doesn’t immediately run back      shout        -ing      nope-        - -       Because, to my knowledge the speaking at      room volume,
  Not    whispering        and the distance        isn’t enough to      -explain it             -            Ai          -   -           Wel-             -      There goes one        min-ion-             -             Droids are apparently    expensive enough to      chastise    Grievous          over-
  But sen-tient - beings are        a dime’     a ‘dozen-
    (Also    gaslighter’s.     don’t give a shit about        you     dear,       God,
  The Painful     dramatic-        irony-
 *tra-      gic-      Wh-      -Oa
 Ai     -     Ri-
  An
  Wh-     -elp,
   You know if it wasn’t for the exposure     earl-        ier   
I would assume they would think that the Jedi was just killing all their Im-por-        tant- elected officials
     Why?
     Wh-at
    He’s right.    -         But dude- that’s pretty      ham fisted-
   I mean-
  How many episodes          (and       possibly        seasons-)      do we have to            go-            - -     Anakin-       is a dick    to lanterns-       -        Also the random theme of the     bots-      coming out of nowhere-    continues-       -     St     -op-          -        Wh-       elp-
    .
    ?         (He          live?)
      I-
      ?
  Good           Play-
     Ah-
    To-
       Oh, yeah,       He’s alive we’re not going to bring that up in any      mention-able way?
      Ike
    Wh     e     l-      p
     Oh           -     That was   -nice-
   You deceived everyone and lied to all          our people,  you’ll make a great      leader,
   Or a great council/    committee leader considering that they do have an open position          ,            Best
I like that they had one bad ass fall and had it replace-d by Dooku being particularly bad-ass       -          In his      place-
In the trade off near the end really speaks to the     frag-ility of war
   I thought-
   It was pretty al-right    Though it really did seem like     - they were trying to build up to something but the structure unfortunately        just didn’t support it,
   Which is unfortunate because they do seem like      bits- that could’ve been nice
   Like Jar-jar being a constant       peacekeeper-
   The underwater        nations-
     Wars be-           tween          - Those               Dude’s
   And that    general guy      -        Who seems to be like he was supposed to be this     - really big deal
 [probably intended to do something      massive in the previous       arcs,]
    But, here,    all he did was that one scene,
    [Would’ve worked better if he was like this Re-       Public Gen-       Er          Al-
    To the      shark guy-
     And Akbar,
     Was just like the resident         enforcer-
     Or something to do with the       prince
    I think it would’ve really worked better with the concept of        ‘being taken’        under,               As well that possibly being a good contrast between     Jar Jar         binks          And        Char-        If Jar- jar got promoted-        With Char being eager at first but then realizing he just         can’t-          And Jar- Jar being reluctant at first but realizing he      can-
   [Note; assumed authority is bad,         Just- some people are better at using it for venting         than others)
   Nope boomers vs throw-         it-back, boom-
       I-
     And it really did feel like this episode       -should’ve been the split one 
   Nearing the end- it started to feel like the 1st-       part of a second ep-
    Which is fine
    Just cut-        of-
   Episode all around being al-right, with just several parts that didn’t make quite sense including the emphasis on the general for that one scene,

Clone Wars     Water War/Gungan Attack
Oh a mix-ed episode     we haven’t had one of those in a while
Can’t   remember if it was any   good,
think it had something to do with the clones which was     al right,
But   other than   that,
  I-can’t   remem-        ber-
-         Least it wasn’t    on the tox     list;    (Something about         rookies?)
       Aight
     Young-
     Body-
      Oh
I was    honestly expecting Jar jar      Binks,
 You know given how   a log     -ical     Re-statement     And aquatic   abilities might be of help)
Then again the other half is   Gungan   so maybe something happened
 Also,
 I’m sorry,
 Whelp
 Aight
Ackbar
 Whelp
  And...
  So-rry
  Ack
 Right
 And
   Separatist
   Like he doesn’t have any     nationality?
   Like he’s a shark        person        (Where      did this guy come from?)
 Oh, great
Let’s bring       clones,          To the    peace talk,
    Also it’s not even     his clones
    A company
Yeah I’m pretty sure     three people don’t count as a company,
[Then again the numbers seem to shift]
  Five guys than four guys   I don’t know how many guys there are
   Three?
  Apparently?
Either way        it doesn’t    count as a        company,
  Pre-pare for an assault
  Screw peace talks
 E-scalation it is
    Right,
    Now,
  Whelp
 Weird to just have loops,
( But I’m not gonna      question it)
 Se-      Nator-
Well- she’s agg-     ressive,
W-help
He’s   a general
(Generals don’t-     really do the whole bodyguard thing,    they do creating     mass destruction,”
Might not want the obvious target next    to your other   obvious target
(two-in   One-)
  Mili-        Tary-
Oh Thank    god,       I was worried they were going to go puppy dog eyes on me       for a moment,
   Job
   Dick
 Like,      Dude’s
Savage -
(Damn
  Every-one
   Shit talking      princy here-
  Oh, he left
 , Thank          God,
(He needs more grooming said the adult man about the other    adult which you can’t groom,
 Feckin       Boomers
(Like I respect how dude isn’t upset,    Like,       Some boomers talking shit?       I don’t care      don’t mind me      I’ll just be here;        With a juice           Pouch,
    J.k
  A-ight
   Like    he’s      just           -               Chill,
Ok, seriously was there a dec. of war?
 Like where did these guys come from 
  How did they get them here
          How?!
           Just            (mildly)              how ?
        Like,
      As-
     When was there even a   dec?
    (Dude was like     we don’t wanna be here    anymore,”
And     Now,
   We’re war ready
Like (minor) nitpick but I think we needed a few steps in between
We went from “I don’t want to talk to you anymore,”     to “The army assembled,”
  1-10
   Think,    that needed to be taken a little slower
   (Only so many holes         the brain can      figure out,’
Plot
Qu-      arian
 Since, when?
‘Didn’t seem to be so     when he went to talk to that dude’s son
Like,
 Blood
Again, there’s a lot of steps     ,skipped       here
   Whelp
  Irony
(Is   dude going to get blamed for this?   )
We ordered all those clone troopers      probably insti     -gated   this war because we wanted to take cover
Logic
Here
Saf     e
Hey they actually treated him like an    adult for once      (The characters    in the universe is doing pretty ok
Any
Okay
This isn’t surprising 
you’ve known this since the beginning
[not like his father died     in battle]
This is not a      wise decision,
Again,     he really hasn’t made a decision yet,
And like dude   isn’t responsible for the older     generation,
They decide-
War
Okay, Boomer
[you can practically see him   roll-     ing his eyes like,      well the     ir goes any chance of them treating me like an adult-
Oh no he just said        fuck    you,
 aight  
Light-     ly
So is that scene with     whatever the other leader is   going to become relevant?
I assume it’s going to turn into some kind of like   peace speech,
Weakest inspiration speech         general
‘ We live here,       Protect
  *Weak,      Mur mered  Enth-usiasm              -           Pipe’s that can be shut down at any moment and that        everyone   can see              -            Okay that was a really      stupid plan,
Like they seem to have fun with it and I’m    not faulting them but that was-
     Really          stupid,
     I thought he meant like       I know a water current or a water direction,
  Or what would make more sense the way       through  an underwater city,
  Jedi
 HAHAHA
I just finished watching      and it does actually backfired        horribly on them  
  So props on the writers for doing that        semi-realistic    ally.
   Whelp,       Okay
 Also that dude just blip-ped          by the screen like            sup,”
      ‘Kay
Oh right     he’s a damn general,
  The guy      that left “his kid”       (Facetiously        spoken,)
  Good        plan,
   Also whatever happened          to the Admiral?
  The guy that     usually deals with this shit?
   Whelp,
   Okay,
   Whelp,
   ?
  What?
   T-ills
Seriously, we’re caring about her now?
(Though it does make sense
   Padme and her do sit on the Council       To  Get       Her.
  Aight
  Whelp-
   An      -
Whelp
Guess he is kind of a     Aqua-tic,       -          Whelp    -       Now            -        Well-   
   Wh-   
   Jaws           just intensified,
Also,       How      can you bite through metal?
   Like don’t get me wrong I know sharks have a mighty powerful pair of chompers,
    But not that          strong,
    Like they can cause         a dent in it sure,
      They- cannot     do any beyond that damage,
     (Unless it’s a real   shit metal,)
    Move
(Oh no, I’m so scared       as an adult)
  Like he is just a    cheekiest little shit    and I appreciate it,
 In the optimistic    non-snarky sense
“Yes so I will really    stay away    from the big scary shark man,”
Ai
Whelp
 Neat
   K
 Wh-
 Them
Let’s go murder some people!       (Or       bots)
 Lead
 WTF
 (Like that is the look up       generational “I wish you would stop making me      Try to fight,       Enabler,’
Like Dude has made it very clear he has no interest     Spear
Confir-med spear
 Force
 Does force?
 Back
 Oh stop being    over-involved      balance of the force,
 Okay, 
S’up,     right,     till,   
Ri-ght
Again,      he’s not really doing   anything,
And seems     well able to handle himself,
As the adults just try   to constantly pass off him to the next     “babysitter,”      (He’s       an          adult)
    Good
So yeah how’s the other dude going to react to him shark guy trying to take a bite out of his friend’s son 
  On,
   Em,
  Oh
Don’t worry he’s just fruitlessly banging his head against the     tunnel     . . .     Dude’s    not the sharpest object... in the drawer      there            .       Yeah and the thing seems pretty smartly made out of plastic
                  So dude’s just constantly   bon-     king     his head
 Whelp
Again this tunnel is the weirdest   design-
Anyone can come in it,     anyone can go out-        It doesn’t seem to have any      benefits-    Like security      -or direct path
   (The speed doesn’t increase   noticeably      either,)
‘Frank, I want huge tunnels that go nowhere and do nothing everywhere,’                 [Apologies to anyone that decides that as their chosen subjective ident-ification or any sim. pero)
‘but why,”
‘because it looks      neat
   Whelp       Right,         Okay,
     Also what just happened?
  Like he just bonked his nose       Again.
That’s like screaming screaming “shark!” at     an aquarium      (Not a        fan)
  Reserves        Better,
   No shit
    Also didn’t you just do something that destroyed the tube?
   No?
  It’s fine after that     vehicle explosion?
  (Pretty strong)
  Also the droids came in so why can’t    he just come through the front door?
You’re really counting on this dude     being too stupid to know how doors work 
      (Facetiously)
    Dude just decides      to whack his face against the      obviously   unbreakable thing
  (Supposedly)
 The animation and logic is very    flimsy and weird with this thing
  Like swore I saw something       shatter...
   And water       doing that weird         pulling        in thing            .
Okay, seriously what is that         animation       right there?
 Why does him smashing his face against the - plastic     -             wall-        Cause
     (I do really respect the animators but I really don’t think anyone really        wanted to deal with the water physics,
      Like, this screams ‘above water terrain’
    I wouldn’t be surprised if this was like supposed to be one of those      bug flying episode things,
   The current isn’t really explained
  - (Maybe air?)
   But this episode really doesn’t speak      ‘it was designed for underwater,’
  Yep,  completely safe-
   How?!
Like I’m not gonna fault it to harshly because it wasn’t showing in a flash-      back or narrative      endorsed-         Info
  Deliv.
[A.k.a. it wasn’t informed 100% true by the narrative]
  Like, “Youngling,” Where if it showed a flashback of     Ahsoka, as        like, baby,      And said it was like     13 days ago,    I would be rabid,
 Or went out of it’s way to     specifically em-         phasize-
  But now that still bothers me
That’s bordering      on the line            of   breaking in universe physics)
       Plot
       ?
Oh yeah    Fisto’s       just standing around doing nothing,
  Okay?
  Why
  What      Happ-    ened-
  Ai-
 Why?
  What?
  Okay-
 - -      What?
 I
Um-      Hm,   Coral
 Sup
 Aight
 Uh-hm
 Okay,
  S’up
 Right-     -
    ?
   Hm
   Also, dude just completely bailed on his assault.
Writers...
 I need      some   explanation      here.
  What?
  Why?
[Did he eat     Charr?
  Jelly
[Also, where the hell did you come from?
 Like, who is     we?
 Do you know nothing about - your people beside     you
 Like where did you come from     how - do work
?
Ok,
I-
Ai-
How are you in one piece alive?
Also, yeah       how?
  Terms
 Su-rrender
  Yeah,
 Or      a peace talk?
(Like    what is the damn     order of this       thing.?
   Aight.
 Oh right,  the quarian      are the other guys?
 Begin
[I don’t even know how the first one started so -sure
 What?
Okay?
.

 Jelly      Fish-
Okay-      Right
 Mm-hm
  Okay-
Okay, animal or a ship?
  I can’t tell
 What the heck-
  Ai-
Why don’t you just not shoot   them?
 Why?
  It’s        A       Light.
Like they don’t even know they dropped these things so this could just be some weird species from down under they never saw?
Why does everyone go to shoot first    and ask questions later?
[looks at title,
 Never      Mi     nd-
 Ai-
 Right-
 Now
  S’up-
 Okay-
 This,     “ yes I’m so intimidating     look at me,”  Charr,            Is incredi      -bly done,
Everyone else is playing serious     war soldiers, he’s        ...  Just     like     Fuck      your         -        boomer    bullshit          -        Tr-
Pr-
 Feck         You-
  Jedi;
I feel like unnecessarily   escalating the situation.
     You?
    Stupid
‘ Also wait on his orders -        gives the order-
  I like how       he’s just like fecking       boomers-
Like, the second he gets into it          -   it’s not fun anymore
Like;
A metal army and several thousand people likely dying
 Fine
Five jelly boys,     Two      Get     ting-      Shock-
 RUN!
[his priorities are so      ass back-wards-”
 C-aves
He didn’t order anything   he just answered your question,
  -     Oh,      The innocent    jelly bois-           -               ?
-      Ani-mation         -       Why?            -         Ai
   Why-
Hey, why are the jelly boys no glow?
[Are they sad...    Cause    you killed their         friend?
      .             Uhm
    Wha-?
     ?
    Ai-
  Aight-
  Sir
  Ok-
  Sir-
   I 
  So Long.
Why?         .      Separatist        ...  
    Also dude went from a semi-caring person to
To sna       -rcking at the villain for how ineffectual he was at         murder      -ing      people..
 Hands
  Mood?     Aight-
  Dude gonna-
[OK they just really focused on that    trooper      -or whatever it was,”
 I-
 Ick
 I wish I could’ve done more
I wish I could’ve en-able-d the military complex more
Literally nothing
Besides     enable your abuser       ...      [Oh shit this was season 4 for      my bad,]
  An explanation         would be         nice..            - Pretty          much          sums      up the episode,
         There’s       a noticeable drop      in quality specifically           with animation,
      Though that doesn’t necessarily make it        bad,
        Just damn confusing                -                 And        non-consequential                -          It’s still pass is the basic   decency landmarks-          Of a readable story         And no normalization           of toxic ideals)

The Clone Wars         Duchess of Mandalore
                Season 2 Episode 14
......
You know      I want to believe     this is going to be an episode    focusing     on Duchess’s actual character        . . . .      But the track record     of writing female characters    (Never mind blam   ing trauma for their personality )
Doesn’t     leave     much       Good      Faith      Or     trust       . .          (especially how often their    Characterization gets to     Ret-conned.   to fit the     episode,)
(Padme turned into a nag,               Ahsoka      In     unchildlike     abomination       that goes with a plot needs    her       to)
Duchess;
From     Relat     iv-ely        Reas        On      Able     Leader         .  .   .       Turned        exquisite          and       Ex-      - cess         -ive         (Pe        tty)
Con      trast-      With      Semi-     Constant      Smart   “laziness”       avoidant      Obi-wan       And     “Do      It     Sky   wal   -ker-
 I don’t expect this to     stick
     (Al-ways     the female  characters,”
Any. Way
And war,  truth is the first casualty,
[It’s actually   accountability    but good try]
 Deluding them selves of the     goodness usually comes after the bad action
 Any way.
The     terribly designed ship
(I’m sorry but that thing doesn’t even look even slightly      aerodynamic) 
(The shark    ship at least had that)
   ?
[it was one apparent smoke bomb and she wasn’t allowed to        do anything to try and fix it,]
  But sure...    let’s go with that        .      Allies
[Never got a feel for that and    one dude was always    snarking at her,] No  shit 
everyone can see that
And     it was one dude
  [They haven’t     heard of this yet]
 [This plot-     isn’t very good]
Right     -      ok now they’re   im-portant-
 Sit and and wait 
 As Duchess makes her case that this is just one splinter group that she can handle
Some thing you wouldn’t think would     need a trial
[Only     becoming a problem when it affects other people]
        [suffering from the Luminara               problem, where if she doesn’t meet up to      high unreasonable standards.             In an unreasonable               amount of time                    (Little)                     Instantly lambasted by         her colleagues.                             With the     nar-rative showing no signs of painting this is wrong                                Or the fact of the   male characters can feck around     screw       everything       up,        And that   isn’t considered      serious
    [Narrative’s              a           Cheater. .)
        How long
These are   actual good evil minions    
(No this could actually be good with them becoming something like the clone troopers to the, Darkside
   Making up for a lack        of human faces in the ranks         up to this point,
   Establishing that while they may be the          instigator of tox,          Actions are about   ~now~          Less abhorrent than the     Empire’s            /       Coun-       cil-
‘the       Plot,’
 Completely irrelevant
   (And stupid)
Relying on everyone   being a complete       un-     accountable-       Idiot.
  Great plan you got there      Dooku,
 How’s Duchess’s explaining that’s-not-at-all-what-happened-and-we-don’t need a foot hold and all security,     going?
Like you think he’d be more mad   Considering what seems like the only plot,          Intercepting the        vehicle in transit,         Failed       horribly,
   Unless, the guys didn’t tell     him - And he still thinks they have      Duchess -which would make     sense...because of course they sent troops for the lost     foreign    leader
    (Would’ve been a     good episode for both        of them)
    (Not sure that would cause      a riot though-)
   (-Which would make sense if Obi-Wan was the last         one they saw around here-      Thinking, that a Jedi      captured their leader,
]
 But I’m getting ahead of myself      let’s focus on the       actual plot.    .
Whoa rows
To Coursant
I thought you just said to    . . .sit still and leave.
         What?                ...     
          What
Oh so we’re focusing on another     cliché plot instead of the actual characters
  (*Note;           Cliché             As              in              a           badly        established           already       done plot              . . .           There’s        nothing          wrong           with          doing         repeat          plot           so           long                as         you          do        them         well
    What you bring     into it is the fun part           (Ideally)
     Aight?
      How?
They’re just         there
Also yeah you already know that there there you already know what they’re doing you still haven’t done anything about it
    So?
      [I was about to say where is the courier guy     but he’s dead]
     R.I.P shortly lived villain          Killed off for a shitty       written romance-
 -He deserved         better
    Ok
  Whatever 
    Why
 [i’ve seen that image multiple times        but I never realized the city was in the ball
     [also how is this the palace     where several important officials meet         And the nice forest is supposed to be this            mining hell hole
The environments-           They’re-
  So yeah we know it’s there, but like last time we’re not going to do anything about it
   [like I said Saltine did get back at some point and          everyone’s logic was just ok let’s go complain to the council        for no reason,]
           [I     dislike this logic)
          Why?
           Just...?            Why
             Also yeah who’s in charge     while she’s away?
               I mean we’ve already got like a lot of      senators’ sus
    What?
    Things         Happen          Ing
    Also yeah palace   right back to the way it was,
    I guess it was a smoke       bomb. .
   Right?
    You left     the Boomer in control?
     Also, so yeah I’m surprised he didn’t run out to be a     mastermind either
     Like, yeah        That        can happen
  But given the      “legacy and proud of everything      thing,”
     You’d think he’d be the main target
    [Makes a lot more sense than Random     Sen   ator       #4
   And he was the only one in that     hallway with Obi-Wan-
 -
During their   argu-     ment-
Prime      Minister-      It      Makes      Sense          -
You found     the deathwatch     armies         -    isn’t   hard         -           It   was like five guys last time
Now just like them, you have allowed, the situation       to get worse
Good job     smart guys.
Battle
Really because they seem like the same group of nerds
?
What?
??...
   ?
  Deathwatch will never be strong enough
 Yeah, no shit  
 Guess you      shouldn’t do anything stupid
     [how long until something           stupid happens?]
       Beyond          the normal               . . .
       Here
Seriously how does this   plan make any sense?
Jedi- come here      - everyone-         Loses         their         shit  
  How?                - like      I know it be unpleasant to have some guys     stomp into              Your               House
         But there’s literally no need for     that..
    Considering         the situation            isn’t out of control
     And       Satine should be fully capable of handling the situation
       - And telling the Senate to feck off
       - And don’t tell me he’s doing this because she’s       passive because he’s been everything but passive in defending her passive beliefs,
   [Something        not really      elaborated          on]
  Stop
  NOT BE        AN IDIOT!
  Also,
    [I really don’t like this      plot        it makes no sense,”.     ]
Whelp-
  Fuck-
  That        Got        Dark-
[but possibly make sense if this is how she   sees members of the republic,        As a dark   brooding force that will hurt everyone if     she’s not careful,
Significant deadly threat
How?
They-     smoke bombed one building
[That’s   juvenile]
  [The situation is not out of control]
 In the narrative’s attempt to over blow this isn’t done     ,correctly
   You need to have         self     aware     ness.
Bumper cars
Good
[Also you had to come to the      Senate to say that]
(This could’ve been an email)
  Or a photo       op/        State       -ment-
    ?
  Duchess why did you come here   you knew they were going to pull this shit
Like this helped     nothing
And the narrative,
What was a good     situation that was supposed to come out of this?
You stand before a council of people who decided to fight, saying I don’t fight
   [ and these are toxic people         mind you]
There was   no way this is going to end up good;
And I don’t.. know what the     narrative?
Padme?
Also what is with the weird bumper car      rules?
Because it seems like anyone can come up at any time and ask   any question?
    [Like,      how is that not chaos?]
   Wo rking under           toxic assumed authority.       .
 “People-
   ‘ I call to the stand        Obi-Wan (Kenobi)          and Anakin             Of the Jedi         order, to      provide testament,”
      That’s all    that had to be said..
        On top              of;
“My government will submit to peace keepers   actual peace keepers -      Un-armed-        For        Eval     -uation,’
   That would make sense
 And work off     Satine’s      Ad-       vers         Ion-         To Obi-Wan,    and the Jedi Council,
   True
  Dick,
  -Jedi
Yeah, she didn’t reject, she allowed the Jedi to do a full   investigation,
Also as     brutal as the scene is,    it is a good show of you     reap what you   sow       and enablers  turning on a enablers
 Even though Satine   should’ve known better than     to argue peace     with a war   council...
Obi-won      says   nothing         . . .
  Fuck        You          (Good)
     Bad         Ass
    Lots of politicians            speaking,
     Wait-
     Dick-
   Appro      priate-
   Ser-iously       touching         someone     without         their        consent?
       Dick       entitled         move.
   Spec.    Ifically.
   After        he      stood        by       and    watched      that     happened     -       Senate          -         Yeah cause you were there       and you did nothing
Better;
  Saltine calls Obi-Wan as a witness        (Both Obi-Wan and the others.        (Anakin) standing watch      over her       home planet
    They failed to respond         due to being in the middle of some thing
   Or just distracted
    This makes looks     Satine          Look     extremely        bad,           That           Jedi            are            not     Re-sponding           On         her home planet
     The vote gets passed
    Satine is more than     distressed
    When Obi-Wan     Coms her                  In
       They            argue,           Satine           Sni,pping.               A.                Bro-ken           Promise
        “You said            you’d be there              for me                (This                Time)]
    “You’re never there when I need you,”
   “You’re never there when it         matters          most,”
       With that,        the conversation ends
       Satine possibly getting ready to defend herself against the   republic
     Coming to invade   her home
        Im-bittered               Sweet
Didn’t help at all but    okay,
We’re friends
 Good
[To be fair        the romance was so forced,      that friendship is honestly best,]
Ah,         Lady,           You just got a friendship last   block,
  No need   to act       surprised.
  Nothing        More
    Good because there was no chemistry    between you      up to this point,
   State of mind  
  ....
  What?
  What state of mind?
  ...
 She’s       fine!
  Yeah she      over reacted to the dude
   But - got everything together when it         mattered-
   THANK YOU!
 That was an         asinine statement
    Hysterical
No   they wouldn’t be
That isn’t a   compliment.
That’s      Invalidation.
  Dick   Obi-Wan
  Point!
  So much  
point in this!  
  I am so  
pleased.. 
 (Though
   regular,”    
 I only - 
 Gas-    
lighting
 “I’m-  
 Yes!
  Mhm
This is some  
Bomb ass tea
De-licious
(I just realized       my phrasing           of words             I’m so-)          
     It’s good is the point
(Doesn’t it make up what happened in the   previous episodes,     
   But,           Makes                it           easier            to              forget                        . . .    
 Accoun-           tability                 -                 Is        the     word        you’re        looking         for        (The    character,       not       the     writer,”)        They’re          doing          good                   .    ... You   live with a child       groomer          (Are           One)
Does make sense.  Obi-won closest to the problem       (Groomed       specifically       in benefit of it)            Still sad      that they just gave up
     Even if he does   have a point   That Two generations    have essentially         grown up          Anakin        and   their time   as the present     is over
   Bit too late to have a     regrets
    (Only   when it   screws      you over..
  Not      the     future   generations)
    And...
    My     sympathy        is    officially       gone         (Not       the   storytelling’s      fault,             I         think       they           work      -ed       this   conversation      pretty         well            -          Just         the        facts          to        narcs          arguing              -             Still         made          me           think        about         what       exactly         what         was        wrong             -           That’s       good       (narc)Con   versation,
Any way,
  I love       this song
   Obi-Wan gets roasted for all his bad         behavior 2.0...
  It’s nice
Crusade
This   Convo was good
      (It made me feel better about all the times the   writers used cheating tactics)
        *Not for                      giv-ed
just- better
?
[That expression-   was concerning]
 There
Aight
That-      Was-
  Chilling
[You just spent the whole time getting yelled out      for his deeds, just continued on,    emotion     less]
The       “respectable”          kind       (Approp-riate       for an           adult)
Aight
  [Oh- no are they going to have the Obi-won rescue her and that proves that all her opinions are wrong?
 Not actually; she made some really good   points
  But in the       narrative   treating?
    (I don’t    want to see     that)
Okay,    whelp,
Coursant has the   worst security ever,
  How?
Damn      Frick
  Is a     bad day for her,
  Filed
Some random dude   hijacked your car
Who are you going to     sue?
Bitch
Queenie,     dude’s obviously an asshole
Leave
Also if there was no proof then why aren’t you charging her for vandalism terrorism, etc?
(See his logic is       bullshit,)
also this is a good example of   obstructive   bureaucrat          . . .
    Or avoidant
Because how do three people       nearly dying not constitute as proof?
   [Like if she       died.]
   Also, what’s the plan      if she did?
   Like; Oh yeah deathwatch is such a threat that they killed     a senator
     Those     dudes      don’t care
They only pissed at her because she’s a pacifist coming into  a      Offensive summit
  Accident
[she accidentally    drove her car.     [Yelling      at the     villain]
Not     what      she   said
This dude could give     Obi-Wan a run      for his gas lighting,
   Whelp
    Fuck         Off
     Oh yeah the council   of war mongers will really respect the       pa-   cifist
No bias     here
None   whatsoever
Satine 
   Hey    at least this time he had the   common decency not to      grab her-
 dick

Oh yeah defender of the   gaslight-ing committee  she’ll definitely help

Don’t give into the gaslight-
Also guilt tripping

 Valid     re-ac-     tions

“Victim   blaming”       (Toxic    blaming)

Con
Don’t listen to     Obi-Wan      He     sucks
Also none of the guards are going to zap him for     touching their queen     unannounced?       - - - Friends
You’re not her   friends
You’ve been   nothing      but a dick
   Gas       lighting
    Nope
    Tox.
   [like listen to that   ag-gressive tone,          How he’s holding     her

    This was a pretty a’ight episode
     (Trust me I wish      I could give it higher praise)
   However the           unfortunate           clankiness of the introduction
           Keeps it stubbornly between a decent          and good
       With that            being            said;
           That does not        take away from the fact that is           a ____ whatever it is
    -it has good characterization         for Satine
   - it handles heavy morals like enabling, tox,       abuse and        pro-         blems      With        Assumed           Autho rity-     Includ        Ing       Police          Bru-       tality        And        Fram       -ing          Very        Well
