#I serously don't buy it

[clairaworlds]

I have no idea if this is a controversial opinion or not, but I've heald this in since like 2017.

Ahsoka SHOULD'VE DIED IN REBELS. there I said it. I've been saying this for years but I'll say it again, and this time on the internet.

Ahsoka was my favorite character growing up, I loved her dearly, I thought she was so cool. Whenever I played lightsabers with my friends/family I'd try to hold my sticks in a reversed grip because I thought she was cool. I loved her character arc and literally wrote essays about her in school. All that is to say, I'm not anti-Ahsoka, if anything I'm probably one of her biggest fans.

it is because I am such a fan of her that I believe she should've died. It was poetic, in a sense, her staying to fight and to die to Anakin. "I won't leave you, not this time" was a heart-wrenching line. It showed how much she'd changed and how much she'd stayed the same since she left the order (keep in mind this was before they went back and finished clone wars and I have aggressively mixed feelings about that lol). The fight was a showcase of how different they were form the people they used to be. Ahsoka with a weight of grief on her shoulders, she was slower, calmer than she'd ever been, because she'd learned to hide, learned to plan. She was fundamentally still her but at the same time starkly different. The same to Anakin, he'd once force-choaked a guy for her, he'd done impossible things, defied the order and turned violent to save her. Now here he is with a familiar violence, and he's turning it onto the person he used to use it to protect. Anakin is dead, and Darth Vader killed him.

Yet at the same time, we see how Ahsoka blamed herself. when she realized who Vader was, when she was so alone for so long, she seemed, to me, to have spent a lot of time wondering what could've been if she'd just stayed. It's why she said she wouldn't leave him. She also sacrificed herself to protect her fellows.

this showed both a sacrafital, universal type of love, the type the Jedi are known for, unattached and layered in the idea of doing "the greatest good for the greatest number" and yet it was also a selfish act. In her own self-blame she couldn't stand the idea of leaving someone she cared so deeply for again, so she looked for both a way to punish herself, and a way to fulfill the desperate attachment she still felt.

In this way it felt immensely poetic to me. Almost shakespearean in its tragedy. It was a true moment that summarized her character, both too much and too little a Jedi, both attached and understanding of what that attachment can do. selfish and selfless.

Another month, another monthly flea market visit! :D No rain this time! So i got to go properly this time ahah

I got a bag with a castle full of mini HelloKitties, a bear friend that i don't know the name of and some miscellaneous castle stuff :3 It's a HK kindom!!!

I found an all plantic Mc'D furby and a robo-chi pet bird to join my robot animal army. And, lastly, i got a small poopsie so i can make another capsule chix hybrid to join Jackie's crew :D

There were some funny stuff in the market this time too XD i didnt grab those but i did take pics:

The skeleton serously amuses me XD

I also saw and tried to buy a vintage bear Sylvanian Families, but the lady who was selling the family was insisting on selling them with a big furnished dollhouse with other dolls. She didnt even consider selling them separate to me when i asked :( Oh well... it happens...

I just realized how crap something is, a while ago there was a vender fair and i was selling some of my art, like i do, and only 1 person bought a painting, and my friends mom was gonna buy one but she didn't, then my friend came up to me and was like "my mom was gonna buy one but they're too expensive"...these good watercolor paintings are 10 dollars...10 d o l l a r s... That is so cheap for good paintings. Like non-artists don't understand how much time and effort goes into art, and how EXPENSIVE art supplies are. Like serously that is a good deal, only 10 dollars for a good watercolor painting.

Okay so new dr who was good but i feel there are a few thing i want to criticise (can't do under the cut as i am on mobile but i will tag as spoilers so if you see this and get spoiled im very sorry). A: please dont reduce ryan to his dyspraxia nor give him a magical cure for it over the series. B: don't fridge your only black woman when you're launching your white woman main protagonist serously i thought this was british star trek aka 'the scifi social justice show' not 'white feminism'. C: don't go ott with budget like the big appeal is how half the props are basically things you can buy at homebase/b&q like it feels too 'modern' in that aspect.
