main takeaway from certain fan reactions to the finale is this:
the final scene with ankarna was so meaningful to the bad kids' arcs and how they made peace with being wronged by people they loved, and if all you can focus on is that the rat grinders didn't get much screentime, then you don't love dimension20 and you don't love this world: you want to be playing your own hs themed dnd campaign and you're mad the oc versions of the rat grinders you made up in your head acted ooc. these are not your characters and this is not their story.

Watching the “Jedi Bad” crowd fully misinterpret the Jedi pre-corruption is painful a little bit.
The Jedi do not gatekeep the force. They just don’t. They only really go after those who threaten the peace and justice of the Galaxy(bc thats their literal job, to maintain peace and justice) and the Sith specifically.
There are plenty of other groups in the Galaxy that arent the Jedi and still practice using the force(the witches of Dathomir for example) Unless they are given a reason, they tend to leave well enough alone.
We also dont have a clear understanding of how they induct younglings and I believe this is incredibly dependent on the individual jedi how they go about it.
We know in The Clone Wars series they will at the very least give some time between taking a child to the Temple and it’s birth. We also know that there is a likelihood that some parents give up their children willingly to be raised as Jedi.
We’ve never really seen the Jedi take a child through nefarious means unless someone else could provide a canon example. Qui Gon taking Anakin is an outlier because only Qui Gon wanted to take the child. Qui Gon took Anakin from a place of selfishness and that is purely a Qui Gon thing.
There’s also the misunderstanding of how the force itself works. From George Lucas himself, the force isnt good and bad, the lightside of the force is Balanced and the dark side is Unbalanced. The dark side IS corruption its the “easy way”. That is why the Jedi follow the light.
I could keep ranting about the force and the Jedi but this is getting long

friendly reminder that plurality is caused by trauma. trauma is defined as an event that has a severe negative impact on oneself. there are going to be dark parts of plurality that no one wants to talk about. the brain created you to cope with what it went through. it's okay to have parts (or wholes) that have “twisted” desires, attractions, innerworld or external relationships, sexual or emotional needs, etc. other people might call you disgusting, evil, immoral, but it's just part of being traumatized. it's going to be unpleasant or unsightly.

whumper pretending to be mad just to see whumpee squirming and groveling and apologizing within a second because they don’t know what they did wrong but fuck they’re so so sorry and they’ll do anything to make it better—
“sir please—please let me make it up to you—I promise I’ll be better I swear—just please—”

I need people to realize how horrible 'stalking/constant surveillance/breaking into each other's homes is how the Batfamily show love' is. Like i really need someone to just acknowledge how horrific saying this bullshit is.
Like even fics where they're shown as happy and healthy and with good ties, you've always got this thing where none of them have privacy or any boundaries with each other. Which is directly antithetical to actually having good relationships. And this invasion via hacking and stalking and breaking into homes is portrayed as a positive, good thing; it's just how they show love and care to each other, after all. But for some reason I just personally don't find stalking, lack of privacy or boundaries, and emotional manipulation funny, endearing, or healthy, and just end up disgusted at the attempt to sweep it all under the rug.

do you think dale is just an emotional guy or do you think he cries sometimes to get his way/manipulate his partner? idk i feel like he’s just a big ol sappy guy
Yeah, I do think he seems really emotional and would cry pretty frequently. Like the screaming in the car, that’s for no one else’s benefit so I think at least some of the emotions we see from him are very real.
Since I imagine any strong enough emotion would make him tear up anyway, whether or not they’re sometimes manipulative depends on you. If seeing him cry has you bending over backwards to get him happy again (no shame in it, me too), he’s employing them at every opportunity. BUT the opposite is not always true, seeing you cry turns him on because he’s a freak like that. Only if he’s the one causing it though. Anything else feels more real to him and he’ll desperately try to fix it for you.
He’d still try and sway you with tears even if he knows it’s not going to work. After a few tries, he eventually just gets angry and embarrassed that you don’t seem to care, resorting to more extreme ways of getting a reaction from you. Instead of trying to communicate, he wants to make you feel what he’s feeling, an equivalent of how much you’ve hurt him. He knows nearly everything about you and he’s so petty. Even though he just enjoys collating all those facts about you, he’ll still use any of them against you. So your ‘punishment’ will be perfectly tailored. Ignoring you, pushing your boundaries, being especially rough. Whatever he knows will affect you most and get his point across, then after he’s all sweet again. Wiping away your tears, all the gruffness gone from his voice and back to his usual light sing-song tone “I hope you’ve learnt your lesson, I don’t enjoy hurting my sweet angel.” Lies! he most definitely does enjoy knowing he can get to you so much.
