There's 5 things a Christian loves to see in a story: unconditional love, self-sacrifice, and of course, the 3 r's, redemption, reconciliation, and resurrection.
It is really funny to me to think of Life Series as like, the hermits and friends LARPing together. Like, they don't get enough violence in their day-to-day relationships, so they just go off to a different server to get all the bloodlust out and act out dramatic storylines while they're at it
The prompt was "a poem that starts at the ending of something and works backward to the beginning". I really wanted to write about a story with a tragic ending and the beauty along the way, but instead all I could come up with were refrains about the subject that I worked into these poetry forms.

Is the story not worth telling
If there's sorrow at the ending?
If the journey is compelling
Is the story not worth telling?
Those whose days with life were swelling
Could not know the doom impending
Is the story not worth telling
If there's sorrow at the ending?

If at the end the hero fails
Does it destroy the other tales?
Are there not moments of glory
Though a failure ends the story?
We still care for those first details
If at the end the hero fails.
The sorrow, striving, hope and love
Before the doom falls from above
Worth much more than the final win
Or failure from his fatal sin
(If at the end the hero fails
From following forbidden trails)
Are all the virtues so hard-won
That linger when the tale is done
What's beautiful and true prevails
If at the end the hero fails
Changing my belief system from "this is the hill I'll die on" to "this is the hill I'll kill you on" has done absolute wonders for me 10/10 do recommend
you don’t have to accept an entire fandom to enjoy it. fandom can be your 3 friends and a corn chip and honestly that’s gonna make you much happier in the long run.
I want to see one of the reasons I love this show is how consistently they write character motivation. Especially with Crosshair and Echo. Crosshair has always valued loyalty. It’s why he would do anything for Omega over literally anyone else as Omega is the last person alive who has always been loyal to him and believed in him.
Echo has basically since Order 66 been about helping other clones. We get this from the second episode where he’s all about finding Rex.
Yea sometimes the show struggles with other things such as emotional moments and just skipping them or what hunter is supposed to be able to detect. But what the show does well it does so well it masks its flaws.
Those flaws don’t really enter my mind all that much because I think what the show does well it does so well that it stands on its own in those categories when it comes to Star Wars animation and Star Wars in general.
