I don’t know if I will ever get over how incredible the Obi-Wan Kenobi show was at threading the needle of using mostly established characters, adding new characters that played into the themes that were already established, while also making it feel like it opened up a whole new world of stories to be told. Would a story about Obi-Wan and Luke have been as meaningful, if well told? It’s very possible that it could have been!  But using this opportunity to focus on Leia instead, to take two characters who never really interacted beyond a few lines said about each other, and developing an entire dynamic there, while also tying it directly to the heart of the Obi-Wan & Anakin dynamic, balancing that these two saw each other as themselves just as much as they had a connection because of the other people in their lives, I really can’t get over it. And I can’t get over the inclusion of Reva as a Jedi youngling, she’s not just a fleshed out Inquisitor there to fill up the space, she’s vital to the story being told, she is a face and a voice of the younglings that Anakin slaughtered, she is a character with a journey that is her own path to walk and she will make her own choices, but she is also a reflection of the central Star Wars character (as all characters connected to the heart of the story should be to a degree, in my opinion) in that her choice to not become like Vader illustrates Anakin’s choices all the more. Just as the Obi-Wan & Leia dynamic is a story unto itself, so is Reva’s story, but they are also part of the bigger theme of Anakin Skywalker’s legacy, they are both at the same time, just as Obi-Wan Kenobi is himself, his character is an extension of Anakin’s character on a narrative level, and later an extension of Luke’s character, that is his function in the bigger narrative, but that doesn’t mean his own story within that structure can’t be important and meaningful. The show has Anakin Skywalker’s presence looming over everything in this series, he’s not even actually in that many scenes, but I feel his ghost in almost every single frame of the story, and I’m just never getting over how good that was. I cannot comprehend how well done the character work in this show is, how the characters are serving the themes that George Lucas established, but they’re also telling a story that I was invested in.  I wanted so desperately to see that hug when Obi-Wan and Leia reunited.  I wanted so desperately to see Obi-Wan and Anakin meet one more time, to tear each other apart one more time.  I wanted so desperately to know how Reva’s story would end, how this would affect Leia going forward, how it was a love letter to the prequels movies, how it was connective tissue, the story of how they got from Point A to Point B, but also was a journey worth taking on its own, because I got to see Reva’s face crumple when she asked if she’d become him, I got to see Obi-Wan fix Leia’s droid and teach her a little about the Force, I got to see Owen come to a gentler understanding of Obi-Wan and ask if he wanted to meet Luke, I got to see Anakin absolve Obi-Wan of guilt while still trying desperately to hold onto him. I just cannot get over how it walked the fine line of established characters and something new, that I want approximately a hundred fics about Obi-Wan and Anakin’s conversations in this show, I want another hundred fics of Obi-Wan and Leia, I want a hundred fics about the life Reva could have had in a better world or where she goes from here or how she survived up to this point. I CANNOT GET OVER HOW DEFT THIS SERIES WAS AT GIVING ME THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS.

letter from frédéric chopin to tytus wojciechowski (october 3, 1829)

I feel comfortable knowing that Chopin and I have heard the same pieces and played the same 88 keys...

Hello . What books can I read about Chopin's life? Thank you.

Hi! I haven't read that many but I think the best book that tells so much about his life is his own letters (if you search it up there's a free pdf of it online). Also Alan walkers biography of him (Fryderyk Chopin: A life and times). And also George Sands "story of my life" has some parts on him. Otherwise dig deep into the internet and there's lots of random info about him. Hopefully that helps :)

Thiss

The only bad thing about classical music is that the volume changes a lot. When I'm in the public, I can't hear the music. I turn the volume up and suddenly there is a loud part and my hearing is forever lost.

Relatable quotes by Chopin, part 6

"If this letter seems to you rather wild, don't be surprised because I am not well."

"You can't imagine how this cursed but inevitable killing of time wearies me."

"Nature is a beautiful thing, but it's better to have no dealings with human beings."

frédéric chopin: you will listen to my étude no 3 in e major opus 10 now and you will cry about it. you will think about life and the tragedy of an existence without love. you will lie on the floor. you will do this because i tell you to

me, half in half out of the shower: yes sir mr chopin sir. also how did you get in my house

frédéric chopin: unimportant. *turns into a small flock of doves and flies away*

At Target this lady told her son he couldn’t have a Wonder Woman doll because “that’s for girls” and then bought her daughter the same one. It got me thinking about how often I see people bar young boys from appreciating girls/women as protagonists and heroes, and my own experience with it as a kid.

Here’s a drawing I did of our favourite boys Chopin and Tytus with some excerpts from his letters to Tytus. 

No but if someone wrote to me like this I simply would not know how to act.

I’ve shared this scene before, but I felt compelled to share it again heheheheh

Tytus followed the quickly-filling footsteps through the fresh powder, hugging his coat close. The wind, calm only minutes ago, howled as it whipped the falling snow into swirling clouds. His heart quickened as the footsteps went down to the river and stopped at the ice.

This is a mood. The finals start everyday at 2:30am where I am 😩. Also good luck for your lesson!!!
