#which i guess

[lizardsarecute]

I'm giving up thinking about characters for three minutes. I'm going to back to my caveman roots and throw rocks at a wall

#personal #i try writing #admire ppl who can talk about characters eloquently and concisely #dam couldnt be me (yet?) #i struggle #which i guess #is why im doing this in the first place #cant get better at it unless i keep going

From countless hours of research (watching movies/reading comics/reading books/contemplation), I have finally reached the conclusion that the only real benefits to being related to the Force (as in being a Force baby, as in being Anakin Skywalker or being anyone related to Anakin Skywalker) are:

1. You can do all the Force tricks (probably. There may be some Anakin can’t do, but apparently he can even do the one that requires four throats, so I’m pretty sure if Anakin “couldn’t do it” he actually just didn’t try all that hard)

2. You can walk off any and all injuries. Leia gets tortured unspeakably by Darth Vader, still continues to lie to their faces and sass the short Stormtrooper. Luke gets Force Lightning’d like four times and still drags his dad over to a ship and lights a pyre for him and does the while end of the movie as though nothing happened. Not to mention Luke’s hypothermia and the whole of Bespin and didn’t he get thrown into a table in the first movie? And I know falling (jumping) from great heights is a Jedi thing, but how many times has Anakin or Luke crash-landed a ship and improbably lived?

And that’s just the movies! The Marvel comics show Luke getting beaten every way to Sunday and still being pretty A-OK. He just walks it off! He gets tossed around like a hacky sack and then gets up and says “That was a bit rough. Oh well” and continues with his day. In the Clone Wars tv show, Anakin is shown to have a broken leg and still manages to climb a massive tree.

Admittedly, I don’t have that much evidence for Leia. She unfortunately inherited her parents’ abilities to avoid capture and on the rare occasion she is captured, she gets out pretty fast. Somehow, Luke inherited Obi-Wan damsel genes, despite not actually being related to him, it’s a feat scientific wonder-

So yeah. If the Force is your dad/grand-dad, all you have to look forward to is misery, pain, and bones made of rubber.

Thinking about how if in Season 2 they cut the stupid Fake!Patrick storyline they could have instead done some follow-through with Edith become kinder and happier while having a purpose, shown her being “ever so much nicer” in her interactions with Sybil rather than just having Sybil mention it. They could have compared and contrasted the work she vs Sybil were doing: Official Nurses too occupied with the urgent stuff to have time for little nice things that still do matter a lot when you’re the patient. They could have compared what Edith was doing to the duties of a gracious hostess and Lady of the House and had Cora see her in a different light. They could have brought her further into the Ethel storyline!! (”Don’t blame her.” “I don’t.”!!) They could have looped back to the married farmer thing and shown that while she was becoming kinder, her talent for self justification remained a flaw, demonstrating rather than just letting us assume that she continued to feel no guilt there. They could have done ANY of these things (probably not all of them... although there was some Mary/Matthew stuff that got a little bloated, so!) and it would have given her Season 2 arc some coherence and interest!

There are so many things they could have done with Edith in Season 2 that would have been good storytelling. There was absolutely no reason they had to bring in this absolute idiocy of a storyline, Edith was fucking bursting with potential character work. Justice for Edith.

#I mean TECHNICALLY #it showed her naivete and talent for self deception #which I GUESS #followed her into her aggressive courtship of Anthony Strallan and her hopes for what could become of her and Michael Gregson #but those could have stood on their own and this was a phenomenally stupid way to showcase that trait

If my mom sees a significant amount of blood she gets lightheaded, and has fainted on some occasions. Once it happened when we were kids, I wasn't there to witness it but I heard the story from my dad. Basically my brothers, around 7 or 8 at the time, were playing outside while my mom was making their lunch, and she accidentally cut her finger. It wasn't anything serious, but it drew a fair bit of blood and she passed out. My dad saw this and rushed over, but he didn't really know what to do so he just sort of started slapping her to wake her up (not recommended, but he had no idea and panicked)

At that exact moment my brothers both came in from playing, and all they saw was our mom unconscious on the floor and our dad slapping her. So, like, without even saying a word to each other they both just INSTANTLY start whaling on him, like, full blown attack mode to defend our mom. Which obviously didn't help the situation, but she did wake up and everything was fine.

Now our dad says that he's actually really glad they attacked him over what they thought was going on, because it means he raised good boys. And I still think that's true, they're very good boys.

#i think about this story sometimes like yeah I'm proud of them for that too actually. good job baby brothers #they're not babies anymore of course they're turning 20 next year which is crazy #but they're still the type of people who'd do something if they saw something of this sort happen for sure #respectful of women and everyone else too. they're good guys #I'm glad I ended up with them living in my house against my will for like 14 years #anyway i have no idea where i was for all this but my best guess is probably a friends house given the time period #i was always at my besties house lol #i hope she's doing well too actually. haven't spoken in forever... #bestie from greek elementary school... if you're out there... let's get muffins and fanta at the bakery across the street again someday 💜☮️

"it's okay, i can peel back the layers of you until i find the soft and gentle core of you you've had to work so hard to hide"? no. no, it's okay, i know you're hollow; i'm here anyway. you don't have to pretend it isn't masks the whole way down. whatever face you want to wear, i still love you. i don't need you to be good or unflinching or the antonym of violence. if i did, i wouldn't be here. i wouldn't ask that of you.

just saw on the hbomb subreddit that james somerton briefly reactivated his twitter and changed the name to agayraconteur, then 8 hrs later deleted it again because people were noticing, so. everyone who went all in on "he'll keep popping up again and again in new forms" cash your bets in now LMAO

edit: hey yall this post is very out of date but has been getting spikes of notes since the second apology video so i'm gonna be marking it unrebloggable

#james somerton #google tells me a raconteur in someone who tells anecdotes in a skillful and amusing way #which uh. wrong on literally all 3 counts #or well i guess google doesnt specify that it has to be your own anecdotes so i guess he gets one out of three on a technicality #bigger gibbers

Huh.
