2022 OBI-WAN APPRECIATION WEEK ↳ DAY 5: FAVORITE DUEL - ANAKIN VS. OBI-WAN

Anakin and Obi-Wan would never fight each other. They couldn’t. They’re a team. They’re the team. And both of them are sure they always will be.

y’all out here saying Izzy’s death made no narrative sense because it’s a comedy show clearly haven’t seen the Shakespeare post…I’m sorry I really am but death immunity only applies to the romantic leads the genre has not changed babes

(I don’t mean this to be patronizing, but genuinely: critically analyzing and engaging with art is a skill, and an important one. it’s a tool that will help you in the real world, for real current events. use this as practice not to take everything at face value. sad art does not equal bad art!)

i have spilled so much ink about gawyn but really i only need 2 passages to explain why he is Like That

1. My blood shed before hers; my life given before hers...That was the oath he had taken when barely tall enough to peer into Elayne's cradle. ... Gareth Bryne had had to explain to him what it meant, but even then he had known he had to keep that oath if he failed at everything else in his life. (LOC prologue)

2. From Morgase, Queen of Andor, to her beloved son, Gawyn. May he be a living sword for his sister and Andor. (ACOS prologue)

like yeah, no wonder he does what he does in AMOL. people will be like "gawyn is so stupid for not thinking about the fact that his death would hurt egwene" as if he's being maliciously stupid and careless, when in fact, he has such little self-worth that he genuinely does not consider himself a valuable human being whose loss would impact anyone or anything. his life given before hers. a living sword. this has been his mindset since toddlerhood and nobody ever noticed it enough to try and counteract it. gawyn is exactly what rand would have been like at the last battle if he hadn't had a mental health intervention.

YES OF COURSE ANY TIME

Okay so I love her and she's adorable

This was her on the way home

And this is her this morning. Apparently waking me up at 530am was very tiring for her

Lincoln and Grant eventually having a very emotional and much needed talk over the speaking stones do you see my vision?

Lincoln who is so hurt and betrayed that he can't even bear to look at his dad right now, who *needs* space, but who loves his dad (the fucking poeticism of that nat 20 babeeey) and keeps the stone with him as a compromise, for when he's ready, as a show of love in and of itself, that he's still his dad's baby, eventually choosing to give him another chance.

Grant who loves his son more than anything in the world, but who can no longer avert his gaze and speak in half-truths and jump off of (cat)buses. Grant who *needs* to prove that he can confront himself and talk about his pain and his shame and his mistakes and try for his son's sake if not for his own to love himself and see himself as something other than broken and beyond repair. Grant who's last chance is stripped of all possibilities of escape and now he can only talk. But maybe it's easier this way for him too. To not have to look at the child he tried so painfully hard but ultimately failed to protect as his heart unravels, to pretend that he is alone with his thoughts rather than speaking to someone, to let the tears fall down his face without having to be seen.

i just want to be someone's best friend is that too much to ask

[skrunksthatwunk]

so i read cyrano today. here's some parts i thought were funny in/out of context

cyrano's debut comes with bullying an actor he doesn't like offstage. two acts later he sends a band of musicians after him just to get them off his hands. he also tells them to tell this actor he sent them

and, of course, marmaladegate

all this hype on Oppenheimer for MONTHS and the actual movie was just kind of…….ehhhh

sono.N teased the third SHWD volume cover on Twitter in April, but now Amazon JP has it up in full (including obi). This final collected volume of sono.N's unique take on workplace WLW with added trauma and unholy mutants hits Japanese shelves on June 15th 2023.

There is still no English-language date for this volume from the US license holder, Seven Seas, but the 2nd volume is scheduled for release on October 17th 2023 (though this has changed several times and may still change again).

SHWD started out as an indie comic lovingly shared by sono.N via print and PIxiv before getting to begin again as an online serial with Comic Ruelle. From the get-go the series struggled to find a large audience because it didn't fit neatly into existing yuri tropes. Meanwhile, its focus on relationship growth didn't make it a hit with general SF audiences either.

However, for the dedicated group of people that found something they loved in the SHWD world, it was a truly special little series.

For me, having come to the series from the original indie comics sono.N shared, the earnestness with which the author pursued telling the story and how carefully the characters were rendered... idk, it felt really raw and beautiful in a way that only indie tales can. I'll really miss it.

All I can do now is to encourage you to support the official Japanese or English language releases of SHWD when you can and to let others know about this little gem if it resonated with you too.

When sono.N has a new project I look forward to supporting it too ❤️

Can we kill the whole “no attention on artwork is sad and means it was a waste of time” thing? Like Seriously can we kill it. I put a fuckton of effort into my art and it usually gets like, 10 likes, and that doesn’t really matter to me bc I love making it. I’m grateful for nice comments, but I’m gonna keep making the stuff I make regardless.

Like ok I’m not trying to sound all holier than thou here, but the amount of artists online who say stuff like “this artwork was a flop, so I’m feeling really discouraged” is making me go crazy. Is that all it is for you guys? Content? When you’re making artwork are you just making content for an audience? No offence but I feel like that’s a huge fucking waste of time, way more than making art you like and getting minimal attention on it.

hi! there’s a completely unnecessary and dramatic ramble below. read if you so please

or just ignore me lmao

you were warned lol-

so the only words people ever really use to describe me are things like, “nice”, “kind”, or “considerate”

which is very kind of them and that’s how I want to act and be seen as…. but not if that’s the only noticeable or discernible thing about me.

am I really that boring and forgettable? or is being kind and considerate of others and their feelings just that hard to find?

I don’t know. but it’s made me feel absolutely terrified to break this image i’ve somehow accidentally built for myself.

It legitimately seems like if I say “no” to someone or say something that gets misunderstood or taken the wrong way, that then no one will like me ever again because apparently all anyone sees me as is “nice”

and if i’m not nice….. then i’m just nothing I guess

Wait hold up I just noticed something about Curtain right before he gets kidnapped!

I was re-watching the flower delivery scene in Mysterious Benedict Society (because it's funny), and I realized something about the scene where Curtain is talking to himself in the mirror. At first I assumed he was practicing his speeches in the mirror again (like in season 1, because he’s a dork), but the happiness technique has worked pretty well so far so practice doesn't seem necessary. Then he starts getting frustrated, ok, so maybe the stuff about the freezing effect is really getting to him and he can't focus. Maybe he's actually worried about what he's done to SQ or Nicholas, he does seem to be slipping a lot, he really freaked out on Jackson and Jillson and didn't do much about Nicholas' questions and obvious suspicions other than blow him off.

Then I thought about what he was saying to his reflection: "It's not just for everyone else. You too can opt into joy and good feeling. You too can choose happiness. Use a joyful lens." And he gets progressively frustrated and keeps muttering "choose happiness" at his reflection. Was Curtain trying to use the happiness technique on himself before the society took him? Did he figure it was too late to correct his mistakes so he might as well make the pain go away? I'm just wondering how dark they are gonna go with this.

when hyunjin said that he went one day to wod and saw minho dancing with his team from soul dance in 2016 before minho joined jyp and then they met in 2017 (jyp) and when seungmin said minho probably wouldn't have met the skz members if it wasn't bc they're in the same group now and minho said he would've met hyunjin. soulmatism.
