we gotta stop pretending that anakin skywalker was a normal happenstance. it’s not every day that a bull moose breaks into a stash of cocaine, busts into an elementary school and stomps a classroom of children to death, and then spends the next twenty years murdering the shit out of every other moose it ever sees in all its life until it finally commits quasi-patricide by throwing its dad into the ocean. other jedi fell to the dark side of the force, and they killed, what, a couple people? other jedi are touched by the dark side, which means they really just had a pissy week? anakin touches the dark side and kills a few dozen people. anakin falls to the dark side of the force and then murders or attempts to murder almost everyone who ever knew him in middle school. anakin falls to the dark side of the force and then storms the jedi knitting club and starts cracking heads on the pavement. within ten minutes he has saddled up to go balls-to-the-window balls-to-the-wall batshit, he stops at the bodega by the jedi temple to shotgun a four loko and a sugar free monster energy before immediately proceeding to kill like a thousand fucking people with a sword

Mind you I've only listened to the song once so this could be totally wrong in like a month when I've played it to death but I find Too Sweet really interesting for the Circle of Gluttony because I can't tell which person he's condemning.

On one hand, the narrator talks about sleeping late and partaking in simple pleasures that are not healthy for him. And we as a society tend to think of those consumptions as having bad morals: sleeping late is lazy, staying up late is irresponsible, drinking is sinful, and coffee at 3 am is unsafe. But he doesn't describe any signs of overindulging which is what gluttony is actually about. (“You don’t got to pretend, baby now and then don’t you just want to wake up dark as a lake…”)

On the other hand, the person being described as the opposite is very disciplined, very health-conscious, to the point of not letting themself "indulge" at all. This could be the overindulgence that gluttony criticizes, even though what they are indulging in is healthy and good for their body, it is too strict and therefore too "sweet" (as in pure). After all, "too" as an adverb makes the adjective excessive. Being too pure and being gluttonous for it feels very akin to "the road to hell is paved with good intentions."

It's not about whether the narrator deserves this partner, as TikTok was quick to attribute the song's meaning to. The partner is not too sweet in that the narrator is unable to enjoy the taste of them (as someone accustomed to a more bitter pallet like whiskey and black coffee would find it hard to eat something sweet). It's a question of which is worse: feeding the body or feeding the soul.

Hozier heard about morning people and went

Respectfully,

✨️NO✨️

can't get over the lyric "sweet as a grape / if you can sit in a barrel / maybe i'll wait"

the implication that the only way that the narrator and his love could share in their approach to life is if his love were to be crushed, pressed, aged... made into a wine. something that can be indulged in. more bitter. but fresh from the vine they're too sweet.

I have not yet broken the habit, and will now be using this post as a marker for myself to show when I have gone back to get things up to date

one day I will go back and reblog all those posts I liked instead of reblogging bc I didn’t have the mental energy to choose my tags

this is both a promise and threat to myself

something something everything that happens in jedi apprentice is just the rumors that periodically get circulated around the crèche about Obi-Wan by all the younglings

All of Obi-Wan's incredibly dangerous adventures did... sort of happen? Bandomeer happened! But Qui-Gon was supervising for most of it. Melida/Daan happened! But it didn't last quite as long as the creche says it did, and Obi-Wan got to keep his lightsaber, and Qui-Gon did in fact come back after Tahl was stabilized.

Etcetera

I’m sure Jedi General Kenobi and Commander Cody are very competent men, but in a way that if you leave them alone for more than an hour they will get up to impossible shenanigans

Master yoda : a Commander sized hole in the ceiling, there is

Obi wan, having just levitated cody as high as he could because cody wanted to know what it was like to be the spider on the roof, and how could he say no: hmm I have no idea
