Morgan Elspeth: “My world has been burning since I was a child, why should this world be any different?”
-such a boomer statement, made me instantly dislike her (as if the terrorizing the citizens of Corvus wasn’t enough)
YEAH its wack bc she was a terrible choice to make a short story anthology out of but if they'd actually used their brains they could've made smthn interesting. as it is, her stories are essentially all "morgan kill people she bad" and it feels like someone bullshitting a 3000 word essay on a topic they havent studied. IF INSTEAD they'd made it a sort of mirror to barriss' story and about how people respond to trauma differently, they really could've told a decent story despite her being so meh. like just show how some people don't go "i hope this never happens to anyone ever again" and go against the fascists, some people (morgan, in a good version of this show) become their enemy in their anger and in clawing for their own survival. instead they spent 3 episodes saying literally nothing and pissing on timothy zahn while they were at it
DEX FEELING GUILTY ABOUT TELLING OBI-WAN ABOUT KAMINO, GIVEN HOW IT LED TO DISCOVERING THE CLONES, WHICH LED TO THE GENOCIDE OF THE JEDI, LED TO A THOUSAND YEARS OF PEACE, REDUCED TO DUSH, THAT HE BLAMES HIMSELF FOR SOMETHING HE COULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN WAS GOING TO HAPPEN.
AND HE DOESN'T EVEN KNOW IF HIS FRIEND DIED ON THAT DAY, IF HE PLAYED A PART IN HIS FRIEND'S DEATH, THAT PRECOCIOUS YOUNGLING HE MET ON LEHNARA, OR IF OBI-WAN HAD TO LIVE TO SEE THE MURDER OF HIS ENTIRE PEOPLE AND CULTURE.
HI THANKS STAR WARS I'M GONNA GO FLING MYSELF INTO THE SUN NOW THIS IS TOO MUCH TO HANDLE

thinking about how when you experience a lot of shame in your formative years (indirectly, directly, as abuse or just as an extant part of your environment) it becomes really difficult to be perceived by other people in general. the mere concept of someone watching me do anything, whether it's a totally normal activity or something unfamiliar of embarrassing, whether I'm working in an excel spreadsheet or being horny on main, it just makes my skin crawl and my brain turn to static because I cannot convince myself that it's okay to be seen and experienced. because to exist is to be ashamed and embarrassed of myself, whether I'm failing at something or not, because my instinctive reaction to anyone commenting on ANYTHING I'm doing is to crawl into a hole and die. it's such a bizarre and dehumanizing feeling to just not be able to exist without constantly thinking about how you are being Perceived. ceaseless watcher give me a god damn break.
Would be a fan of any cosmic horror that is less "Oh humans are insignificant insects to the Great Ones" and more "The Great Ones view us like insects, with everything that entails". Some are callous and will kill any human they find in their domain, while some will do their best to remove them as painlessly as possible. Put the human in a cup and take it outside etc. Some might go either way depending on how difficult/inconvenient removal is compared to killing. Like "the mortal is climbing the lattice of the 5th dimension" is the equivalent of "ugh the stink bug is on the ceiling", that sort of thing. Some might even be scared/creeped out by humans.
And then you have Great Ones who are. just entomologists. That's where the real terror is, if you ask me.
I need animated shorts of the Marvels in the form of kamala's intro in the movie except all the characters are voiced by their actual actors, instead of Vellani doing all the voices. Very little plot, no canon compliance whatsoever. Just them all vibing.
I think we should bring back that thing everyone did in 2014 where you badly photoshop two characters from entirely different media together to look like they’re in love. This is my proposal for doc ock x glados please consider
