Love, Loss, and Letting Go: The Painful Beauty of Impermanence

There was someone I knew once, a long time ago. They were not born to the world as many are, at ease with the currents of society, but they learned to flow with it out of love. Love, you see, is a powerful teacher. It can make us tender and adaptable, as it did for them.They loved deeply—an all-encompassing, transformative kind of love. It brought them joy, purpose, and a sense of belonging. They…

I'm kind-of genuinely devastated that they decided to cut out the reveal of Perrin having known all along about Mon Mothma's rebel activities and was getting interrogated WEEKLY by the Empire and never cracked even once.

This would've helped answer SO MANY QUESTIONS about Mon and Perrin, and it could've easily helped answer the question of why Mon felt like she could just walk away from her family after making herself public enemy number one.

She goes to finally explain it all to Perrin right before she makes the speech because dammit she might not have trust him or even like him all that much but she doesn't want him DEAD and he deserves the chance to find this out from her and get himself to safety before she turns his life upside down, and he tells her he's known all along and covered for her this whole time and never once cracked or been discovered, even when she framed him for gambling and sold off their daughter to a gangster's son. He lets her know that he doesn't need to go to safety, he's not just going to run now because that'll just make him look like he was involved in it. He can continue to cover for himself when the Empire comes to interrogate him again, and he can do it well enough to ensure Leida doesn't get implicated, either. Mon's priority is the rebellion, her priority is her work and it always has been, even to the detriment of her relationship with her family, and Perrin understood that but it meant that HIS priority had to be protecting and taking care of Leida in the absence of her mother. So Mon has to go, but Perrin has to stay because their daughter needs him now more than ever.

And it just makes the choice that Mon has made so clear, the sacrifice she chose to make for the sake of the rebellion, and she can't back out now, she can't make a different choice because she tells herself she's doing this FOR Leida, to try to make a better world for her daughter to live in, but in order to give Leida that world, she has to leave Leida behind.

But she realizes now that she CAN trust Perrin, she could've trusted him all along, so she chooses to trust him now. She trusts him with their daughter, she trusts that he can take care of himself and Leida in her absence once more.

This helps Mon's arc SO MUCH, and I honestly love it, and as Bissell says it's technically a non-canon thing now because it clearly never even made it into the script really let alone got filmed, but it's pretty easy to slot it into what we DID get to see, so as far as I'm concerned, this is my canon. This fixes so many of the problems I had with the end of this arc for Mon and makes it so much more emotional and almost tragic. Mon made her choices and you can argue that some of them were mistakes if you want, you can argue that it made her a bad mother if you wanted to, but it's so much more complicated and nuanced than that, and I love that this finally makes that so clear. Mon made her choice and her family paid the price a long time ago, long before Mon was willing to acknowledge that she'd made that choice.

i was thinking how in npmd, in act two the blame for max becoming a ghost is placed fully onto steph’s shoulders. it used to strike me as odd because grace is the one that came up with the plan that led to max dying, not steph, she has as much blame as the nerds do. yet she’s the one that “created a literal monster” according to her dad. she’s fucking judas according to max. but it’s just another case where it doesn’t matter what’s actually true or what the audience sees, what matters is how max sees it.

he died having no idea that grace orchestrated the whole thing. she’s more judas than steph is. but since steph is the one that invited him, she gets the blame. and, to max, i don’t think he sees the invite as her first real betrayal. her first betrayal is inviting pete to pasquallis

steph is allowed to be one of the few that benefit from max’s control, she also had no idea he was such a bully. she got to skate by in ignorance. but she still went against his order and invited a nerd, someone beneath her, directly into his turf. max was able to make pete regret that decision and put him back in line. but, just from pete saying steph invited him, jason immediately accepted that was an okay thing to do. a thing that directly threatens and undermines max’s control. when you watch the scene, you can see that max gets aggressive only after jason accepts pete being there as okay. max can already feel his godhood slipping just from steph stepping one foot out of line.

that’s why max could turn so quickly against her when he fell and as a ghost, because she was already on thin ice when she invited him to waylon hall. in max’s insane eyes, why wouldn’t he blame steph?

You know, I feel like we're not talking enough about the fact that Alastor has in his room a full reproduction (?) of a swamp-forest that's highly likely very similar to the one where he was killed. Talk about being morbid.

Edit: someone pointed out in the comments that the swamp-forest is called bayou. It's a kind of ecosystem in Louisiana.
