hey, can my cat stay on your blog for a little while?

i'm going out of town for the night and could use someone to watch her

AO3 is down again.

I really like Anakin because of this, 'cause he had a certain realism to him. People aren't born evil, its their choices and their circumstances. And yes Anakin had many chances to choose a different path, maybe not be forced into a torture chamber till his inevitable death (His armor), but he made his choices. There were many other factors (Palpatines manipulation, not trusting the Order, etc.) but ultimately it was him. HE made Darth Vader but he was neglected to. I don't know the Jedi really checks mental health, but with Anakin they should have helped him more.

my favorite thing about anakin as a character is the inherent nuance lucas wrote into his story, like he's neither an innocent victim nor an inherently evil monster, he's just some guy put in a series of Situations and ultimately failing the test of his humility and self-control. he was certainly flattered and shaped by the devil, spiraling into something unrecognizable, but he chose to take every step down the pathway to hell. lucas knew he would lose a certain demographic by making him basically a greedy pawn in the larger story, not a righteous betrayed macho badass, but he did it anyway. he made him an awkward romantic and a loyal friend, a generous boy and a brilliant teen. he made sure he had all the positive qualities that meant that he had potential to be so much more than vader, but it was clearly his choice to lie, murder, and fully squander that potential. there are no excuses for what he became, no acceptable reasons to commit mass slaughter. he became an unbelievably selfish and impatient man, reckless and wantonly violent. hayden captured that nuance so well, nobody can match the sweetness of his smile and the absolute horror of his scowl on mustafar. to view him through a single lens as either pure victim of manipulation and (canonically unsupported) emotional neglect, or a creepy evil villain, denies the heart of his story and the weight of his tragedy. he's neither an angel nor a demon, he's both and neither, he's deeply human, a classical tragic hero with a flaw of greed. lucas made a choice with the prequels to tell a story that not everyone wanted to hear, and the result was a character that i think is one of the best of modern pop culture, mostly because he feels to me so very, very ancient and eternal.

I wish Americans fucked with more foreign music. You don’t have to know the language to appreciate a good record. Folks in other countries listen to our music and don’t speak a lick of english. Music needs no translator

Sorry for the Danish writing on the wall. It was translated with Google translate :3

We are the children of the stars

When we look up to the sky they wave at us

Because at the end of the day, we are all stardust

I wish i had some deep explanation for this but i’ve genuinely got no clue what this is.I just let myself draw and as a little challenge made myself use mostly dark color’s rather than light and used more sparkle.
