my futile attempt at a sorceress arc is trying to cast a spell on prone to be ok if the hunt for ben solo doesn’t appear on the timeline they hope for. it’s coming. no matter what, it’s coming.
“What if we go on, only to find a horrible end waiting for us?” “Then it is not the end.”

i wonder if i’m alone on the train of patience for a ben solo storyline. expending it this in the first saga film back could lessen the impact for me #thehuntforbensolo #starwars #reylo

i’m cautious to believe that there’s such thing as a “cautionary tale” when it comes to myth-telling. what makes myth so powerful to me is that it doesn’t tell me how to live, it tells me how i will live. that i’ll experience tragedy and joy and selfishness and love and.

thinking of the dyad in real terms - that push and pull and tension between two things. polar, but not only opposite. rey has a childlike enthusiasm for things, and i’d like to imagine ben solo would as well. which would be difficult to live with in a jedi order.

my big gripe about about media criticism comes from the unwillingness to accept anything less than satisfying.
if story helps me understand myself and the world more, how does wishing for the absence of anything unsatisfying contribute to that?
we learn just as much when unsatisfied, maybe more.

a foundational principle of my practice is that i can’t prevent any of this from happening. all i can do is be there for people who want something different going forward.
i often feel as though i don’t have a place because of this.

the amount of depth that archetype journeys add to star wars is absolutely mind boggling. you don’t know that yoda is a crone in the OT? everything he says is DUBIOUS.

i just finished #andor so i haven’t taken in any of the discourse on the femme character endings, but as a lost son, there was something for me in the bix ending. i’m sorry that it wasn’t more and that there’s pain that that causes.

something about deus ex machina and a fated journey is forming in my mind.
often criticized for lazy writing and bailing out flawed characters and their decisions, the acts of gods don’t just result in resolution. what does the role of a deus ex machina play in the story? why is it occurring?

love the themes of episode 7 #wotskies those narratives that keep clicking into place. there’s something about the expansion and emotion that comes from the blood of manetheren. the story of these people is one that’s been told before and for ages.
