#A View to a Kill Rewatch

Hi uhh I really love your Damian and Danny siblings short. I wonder if uhh will you add a more connected story.

Also how did the mirage happen and is it only Bruce and Damian who saw it?

thank you! And honestly I might add a more connected story (i posted a miscellaneous post about the danny from that post because I was still thinking about him). The more I think about it though, yeah probably? I'd like to explore that reunion between Danny and Damian at some point. Plus Danny's experience in Amity Park and his growth from there.

The post was meant to be more of a prompt for other people to take inspiration from and add their own ideas onto, so the mirage was something I kept purposely vague so that people could come up with their own theories about it. But for my take on it? Magic user in Gotham that they got in a fight with. It was a physically visual mirage so anyone who was in the room could've seen it, and it was capable of being picked up on the cameras in their mask/cowls (which i hear is a thing sometimes) so it can be replayed back in the cave.

Something funny about thousand year old Kol's face when Elena says old people alcohol and he sees her holding just a normal bottle of spirit

kiba never really came off as. being actually confident to me?

[witchcraftandgeekness]

The Gilbert logic:

Jeremy: I can't complete the Mark because I don't want to kill innocents.

Elena: Okay, I have better plan – we will kill Kol (who btw wants to save us all from the Apocalypse, who cares lol) and with him the whole bloodline of thousands and thousands of innocent people who we don't know (and some of which may be newborn vampires just like me but not as important as ME ofc).

sits upright in bed in a cold sweat. peter asking 'would you still love me if i was a worm' and rumi answering 'i would love you even more than i do now.' ONE. sets up the later parallel of rumi asking if peter would still love them even if they werent rumi. TWO. originally i thought rumis answer was just them being silly. but now knowing more about them... that was 100% earnest. and it was them hoping against hope that someone might think the same of them.

[enchantedxhearts]

The thing about Cora ripping her heart out is that, contrary to the popular opinion, to what she makes it out to be, to what Rumple eventually believes in, it wasn't about her choosing power over love.

It was about her being afraid to trust him because she's being burned too many times by men who claimed to love her only to leave her with nothing and spit in her face... and this time is even more dangerous for her because she feels that she is falling for him, too.

She's not in love with him, not yet, but she might eventually be, hence why she calls Rumple the only man she ever loved later on – because he is the only man she ever felt like she could fall in love with, if she let herself do it.

Ultimately, it all comes down to her needing to make a leap of faith. Her running away with Rumple, accepting the risks and still choosing to believe him, and his love, would be that leap of faith.

And Cora can't do it, because she's afraid of being betrayed again, and afraid of not being in control of her life again ( most part of her life has been out of her control, she can't go back, just can't ).

So she chooses to stay with Henry instead of running away with Rumple because that way she is in control, of her own fate and Henry's and her possible future children, in a way she doesn't believe she can be with Rumple, especially considering her own feelings, and so she is safe.

And she rips her heart out to avoid such dilemmas, such problems in the future because having heart is weakness, having feelings is weakness, love is weakness.

TL;DR: Cora ripping her heart out and leaving Rumple wasn't about choosing power over love, it was about her trust issues, and fear of being rejected and abandoned and having her heart broken... it was about self-preservation, protecting her heart and her life.

And she regretted that decision for a long time afterwards, possibly for the rest of her life ( but that's a meta for another post ).

been seeing homies get deep into "the terror" and making me want to rewatch SO i spent two hours in the dead of night reading the wiki/the subreddit/other linked articles and like. one of those articles was deadass fucked up

there was a woman who spoke inuktitut who was writing a book containing a lot of inuit oral histories, and in nunavut she was able to hear passed-down recollections of when survivors from the franklin expedition were passing through

and like. i can't imagine being an inuit family/group, knowing that europeans exist but having never seen them, seeing 8-9 shambling, blue-skinned, cold-to-the-touch out-of-their-minds white men come wandering by. they invited the men inside their igloos for warmth, for food, to be hospitable. the men refused to eat, refused to speak, and when trade was offered, clutched their possessions close and refused to entertain the idea of trade. this was, offputting, to say the least. the group set them up in their own igloo, with their own fire, and left three whole seals for them to eat. and then they fled cause what the FUCK get out of there. they came back in a few days to check on the strangers. the three seals were completely untouched, while all of the men had killed and eaten each other

i mean. fuck dude. there are obviously pretty dark angles to view the franklin expedition from– honestly can't think of a good angle, it's pure colonialism and british exceptionalism– but that specific interaction, that inuit group who were living lives as normal until a dozen fucking walking dead showed up and did cannibalism. no wonder that story got passed down, i'd be shitting my pants if i saw that

Hey guys remember that terrible letter in s2? Well, how about I tell you that it's actually worse than it seems?

Alright. For the purpose of my point being more clear I'll recite it here. *barely held in gag*

"Silco. I've looked everywhere, but it's clear that you don't want to be found. Oh, God, I'm shit at this (THEN WHY ARE YOU EVEN WRITING IT YOU STUPID IDIOT. Sorry). I'm sorry. When she died, I lost my head. I told myself that what I did to you was for the greater good, that you deserved it. But the dirt was on both our hands. Anyway, you know where to find me. Blisters and Bedrock"

So, it is obvious that Vander regrets what he did to Silco and that he doesn't view him as a "villian of the story" anymore, so to speak. His murder attempt was purely emotional rather than motivated by ideological opposition or something else. Great.

Buuuut let's rewind to the very start of the series. Right to episode one. There. Take a look at these screenshots.

So Vander says to Benzo that there's someone on their side (the Undercity) who is worse than enforcers. Not even someONE, but someTHING. This implies quite a big level of resentment if you ask me. While he's saying that, he looks at his right hand and touches his uhh...I don't. Know how this thing's called I'm sorry. Let's call it a leather cover. There's clearly a reason why he wears it now, and this seems to be connected to the "thing" they're talking about. Alright. I guess we'll find out more about this later.

Fast forward to episode three. Heeeeey, what is THAT??

So Silco cut his hand?? Well, that all makes sense now then. Something brought Silco and Vander to a conflict, which resulted in Vander trying to kill Silco, and Silco cutting Vander's hand when he was escaping from him. For now (💀) we don't know what exactly caused such a rift between them, but it apparently was something pretty serious considering that Vander even stopped referring to Silco as a person. While he does later says to Silco that what he did to him was wrong, but nothing indicates that Vander changed his opinion on WHY he did it.

Now, there could be an argument that Silco did something that made Vander hate Silco AFTER the river scene, and this is why Vander thinks so badly of him. But earlier in the same episode we see THIS reaction from Vander when Silco appears.

So here's the question: why would Vander react like that to seeing Silco if he knew of something horrible he did post their fallout? What's more likely, he hasn't heard anything about Silco AT ALL, whether he's dead or alive or what he does. So Vander's opinion of Silco ("something worse than enforcers") formed prior to their falling out and it didn't change over time.

Now that we have all that information let's go back to our dear, favorite letter.

Uhhhh so. Vander is an incredibly awful person???? Either that, or he has an extremely severe case of amnesia. Because why would he go from wanting to reconcile with Silco and not blaming him for what happened straight into thinking that he's worse than enforcers and not even a person?? Or in his mind these things can coexist somehow?? And to add to all of that, apparently he never told Benzo the truth about their falling out, and made him think that Silco is an "animal". What, was Vander so butthurt by Silco never contacting him that he went full 5-year-old-mode "Humph!! I hate you now!!" and proceeded to lie to everyone about Silco?? So much for a reasonable and peaceful leader of the Lanes, huh.

But we all know that's not the case at all. The case is, of course, that writers forgot to rewatch season 1 and made up a reason for Vander and Silco to fight which is not at all aligns with what we knew about them and their relationship before. This is, ladies and gentlemen of the jury, one of the biggest cases of negligence in storytelling that I've ever seen.

i was rewatching s13 ep21 last night with my mom and something struck me after seeing dean’s reaction to sam’s death. have you ever noticed how when anyone else dies (john, bobby, cas, mary etc), dean’s instinctive reaction is to resort to anger? he’s furious, breaking things, he’s snappy with everyone including sam, but this is his way of dealing with the loss.

however, when it’s sam who’s dying, he does a complete 180 and his reaction is just… emptiness. that is the best way i can describe it. he’s empty. his eyes are empty. he doesn’t feel anything anymore (expect of course encompassing sadness but even that is hidden behind his vacant stare). take his reaction in that ep after they leave sam in the cave with the vampires. he literally doesn’t speak a word to anyone. the first words we see him speaking are “we need to go back and get his body”. literally the only thing he was concerned with was getting back to his brother as soon as possible. not even his reunion with mary managed to make him feel anything. he was just… an empty shell.

and i’m thinking this difference in reactions is because sam is the other half of his soul. without sam, he’s just empty. without the other half of him he’s not dean anymore in a way. his soul stayed back with sam in that cave and i think that is pretty telling of how dean views everyone else vs how he views his brother. dean can live without everyone else but he cannot live without sam, without his other half (canonically speaking). that’s why he reverts to deals, to killing himself, to extreme methods of bringing sam back and that’s why we don’t see him do the same things for anyone else.

and i think that’s beautiful.

[emo-nova]

Jedi?

A tragedy that I will forever think about for a very long time.

If we completely disregard everything Palp says, and look at what Jedi do and say and even some of Anakin's line in AOTC about how they operate. You see that their unconditional love of life and balance is that of very mindful people.

Such as the idea of not acting in anger or ill will is something as someone of faith struggles with at times because emotions are messy and never going to be fully conculsive. But the Jedi are about doing what you can to deal with your actions, Jedi doubt but they still want to learn so they can make sure that they understand all sides. Take the scene of Phantom Menace where the Council are doubtful of Jinn's claim before meeting Anakin but still give him a chance as to explain and see for themselves as to make the correct judgement.

It may appear harsh to a child, but as an adult, you can see that they want to make sure that Anakin can have the best outcome given the circumstance that the Council is privy to. The Council ask Anakin how he feels, and Anakin takes this as an attack on his person because he was raised to keep everything appearing fine as to not be caught by his master. His anger at the question and his attempts to hide his emotions is what worries the Council. As a child, I viewed this scene as adults not being fair. But as an adult with more context, I can say they were seeing if Anakin would fair well with them.

The Jedi are aware of their emotions and frequently make sure to feel them, process them and then let them ease. Fear, anger and hate are not avoidable but they can be managed if you understand that acting within them does not help you. Anakin unable to vocal his problems with fear is shown in how he lashes out in anger to not be pressed on it. As a Jedi, as a teacher or mediator being heavily part of their culture, his inability to manage it or vocalise it is a concerning trait that they are unsure will be fixed with time with them.

The Jedi can help better those who want it rather than help someone who refuses they need it. This is something I see a lot in the prequels, and in the OG, they are always ready to help. Their help, in fact, instilled hope in the foundations of the Rebellion. The politicians, Bail, Mon Mothma, Riyo Chuchi to name a few, understood that the Jedi were figures and individuals that aided those.

You see it in the OG Star Wars Film, Episode 4, that the Rebel meeting ends with "May the Force be with you" a very Jedi farewell. It in fact made me cry when I rewatched the film, as you could see on my blog. But you can see it in the symbols of the Rebels being a reconfigured Jedi Symbol, the wings and the star moved up.

In the end, the action of taking in Anakin. Obi-wan's act of duty to master and child, something that could be easily disallowed by the Council but they allowed it. Backfired on them. They taught this child, then teenager then man, that they are encouraged to love, unconditionally to those that could labour ill will to them. They died by a betrayal that stung so deep. Not just because Anakin was the Chosen One. But because that was their friend, classmate, possible tutor and helped around.

The children saw him and saw safety. But he killed them. Those children in a similar position to him as a child, before an adult asking for direction and only be met with a gruesome end.

The tragedy of the Jedi is that their kindness and their way, of going down with their principles was their downfall. They tried to help the clones by not resisting the draft as to make sure the clones weren't subjected to unfair Admirals, they tried to make sure that they could help the planets they were stationed on as much as they could in their stay, they tried to keep eachother up when there was so much death. It was all difficult and a few slipped through the cracks because they couldn't be everywhere at once. And the amount of Jedi dying was happening at such a high number that the council wasn't the same number it was at the beginning of Phantom Menace. And that as before Order 66.

In the end, the Galaxy lost the Jedi Order and the Jedi Order died the way they lived. Hopeful and trusting. After it all, the rebellion had some Jedi around, such as Ahsoka, Kannan, and Erza, doing what the Jedi before them did. Helping those who needed it.

I haven't watched Andor but I've seen a few talk about the lack of Jedi showed how much the Galaxy needed the Jedi. So I will leave that comment at that.

But my god, I love the Jedi.
