Viewing all phineas and ferb characters as autistic is so nice because you rarely see a range of personality types with autistic characters in the same show

The sitcom as tragedy: Because the status quo must be upheld, man is unable to grow beyond his flaws and thus always doomed to failure.

Both tragedy and comedy are built on humanity’s flaws. In tragedy, the flaws doom men to a terrible end. In comedy, the flaws bring amusement and really don’t matter. But that also brings its own sorrow to it, at least in the strictly episodic sitcom structure--these characters must remain recognizable and amusing, so their flaws can never be totally overcome, and their grand plans to change their lives can rarely work. In tragedy, man’s flaws destroy everything. In comedy, man’s flaws mean that things always stay exactly the same.

I’ve contemplated a lot about why Luke was the sort of person that Anakin felt inspired enough to turn his back on Sidious and the dark side for, while Padme, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka weren’t.

While Anakin does become a hypocrite who no one was obligated to forgive after he turned dark, regardless of his tragic circumstances and compromised agency, I think Luke was the one who finally inspired him to turn back because, in spite of as “above it all” as Obi-Wan, Padme, and even Ahsoka wanted to believe they were, they still had many of the same issues Anakin developed of feeling pressured to be people pleasers to corrupt authority figures, expectations, and rules that they knew were wrong out of fear of the unknown under compromised agency, moral hypocrisy, pride, manipulative tactics, selfishness, and/or an exceedingly vengeful side in their anger that they were not willing to pull back on when they dueled him or other enemies that piss him off.

Padme, Obi-Wan, and Ahsoka loved Anakin, but they were also prideful, self-centered, and terrified people who were too afraid to admit that their methods flawed, too afraid to take a stand against the standards of these broken systems they were born into, too afraid to admit they were wrong, too afraid to take risks to do better, and too afraid to admit that they weren’t as “above it all” as they pretended to be.

Luke Skywalker being Anakin’s son is definitely one of the influencing factors that inspires him to turn back to the light. However, it’s also because Luke is self-accepting of his bad decisions, flaws, and mistakes. He’s aware that the old Jedi Order was deeply flawed, hypocritical, and misguided, in spite of their good intentions. He’s unwilling to stoop to the same level as his enemies. He won’t let himself get carried away with baiting his father into a fight when he gets angry, and start making justifications of how he’s “right” just because he has good intentions, just because he was fucked with first, just because he’s not a Sith, or just because it’s “too dangerous” to take a risk to be honest, kind, and offer one of his enemies (his father) a better opportunity when he sees that he really is also a victim of Sidious who is still struggling against his darker instincts and searching for freedom and love from family. He refuses to enable Anakin’s slave mentality and ultimately refuses to let his father believe that “Anakin Skywalker is dead.”

This isn’t saying that Anakin is an innocent, that Luke was obligated to forgive him, or that his victims didn’t have valid reasons to fear him and resent him. Of course, they did. The point is that in those little moments where he tries to reach out to Ahsoka, Padme, and Obi-Wan about being unhappy with the Jedi and keeping secrets of his marriage before going dark, backs off, says “Don’t make me destroy you,” or lets them go, they all had an opportunity to refuse to further perpetuate the cycle of abuse by acting in anger and vengeance. They could have refused to encourage his sense of compromised agency. They could have broken the cycle of system sting abuse, crime, and oppression with Anakin in those instances by being the bigger person.

Instead Padme and Obi-Wan encouraged him to continue to stay with the Jedi and/or keep his marriage secret when they knew their systems were corrupt, and knew he was becoming increasingly emotionally/mentally unstable and unhappy in ways that made him a danger to himself and those around him out of fear of the unknown by pretending that he would just get better if they told him he would when he tried to say otherwise.

Instead, Ahsoka ended up declaring that she’d “avenge her master” when he refused to join her right away and told her “Anakin Skywalker is dead because he destroyed him.”

Instead, Obi-Wan egged him on into a duel on Mustafar by using Padme as bait, and refused to back off after getting him to let go of Padme from his reckless blind rage/paranoia force choke before killing her when he thought she brought Obi-Wan to kill him and even got him to a point where he could tell Obi-Wan “Don’t make me kill you.” When Anakin cornered him again 10 years later for revenge that he clearly didn’t want as much as he had convinced himself he did because he still cared about Obi-Wan deep down, tells Obi-Wan “I destroyed Anakin Skywalker, not you,” and even gives Obi-Wan a chance to run away, Obi-Wan allows Anakin to continue to believe that Anakin is dead, convinces himself that he is, and he runs away to compartmentalize his own guilt over how he mistreated Anakin.

Instead, another ten years later, Obi-Wan more or less encourages Anakin/Vader to kill him by just standing there after confronting him in A New Hope, and saying “I’ll become more powerful than you can ever imagine.”

So the reason as to why Anakin can’t be inspired to atone or do better by Ahsoka, Padme, or Obi-Wan isn’t just because he’s a deeply flawed person. It’s because they are too, they live in denial of it, and let him live in denial of it, too.

I gotta get away from here (if I live to see the next sunrise) I gotta get away from her (oh, if I leave this place alive)

[hella1975]

me and my sister got in a lil argument the other night bc she was just going ON about how much she hates this country and how she'd live somewhere else if she could (even though she just did a year living abroad and hated it. alright then) and how the political state of britain is horrendous and how it's just an awful place that she wants to leave. and i was like okay. yes. we've had over a decade of tory government. we have too many problems to even tackle in a single conversation. i am never going to be that person that pretends there's no problems with this very problematic country. but like??? she was being SO fucking negative??? and i just said to her sometimes - especially in trying times - you just really have to romanticise things?? like not to the point of blindness but just to make life TOLERABLE. and i was telling my mum about it today bc ive not really caught up with her in a while and i was just like 'yes our country's a shitshow atm but we're also the land of prince arthur and we have the lake district and we're funny and have great music and i love our slang and our accents and the fact everything is so old and has so much folklore and sometimes life really is just about finding little pockets of magic in the little things and-'

and my mum just looked at me really sadly and went 'you should have done an english degree :')' and i went quiet like yeah. yeah

With a drink to much in both of their bodies Goose and Maverick find their ways inside Viper and Jester's offices, in that order, because Hollywood deared them and Ice kissed Mav for a very long time, and with a lot of tounge, he didn't get what the other pilot was telling Mother Goose. And so it's barley 2 am, the base is silent and the guards are playing poker unsuspecting what is happening behind closed doors. Goose tries very hard not to laugh and shout because what a pitiful job does military men are doing. Mav finds Goose's file in Jester's office and Goose Maverick's in Viper's and the beat is won without a doubt. They smile to eachother and to their shining future of not paying for a single drink until the end of the program. Ah, what a life.

The next morning, when the whole class is trying to follow Charlie's lesson without succumbing to a collective headache, because they drunk until three am, Jester opens the door with the reddest face they ever saw and I'm not gonna ask who but I'm going to forbid to anyone to even touch a plane today before storming out the classroom talking about military training and someone who was going to have a very very not nice day. On Charlie's desk there are a pile of documents, the first one being Maverick's, that at the voice gender say danger and, over marital status: do you like to know, uhuh?

The all group is laughing and oh, just to read all they wrote on the others is going to be worth not flying today.
