He loses his family, Padme and Obi-Wan and Ahsoka, all of them, because he refuses to stop, to embrace mercy, even here in this show, he murders a child yet again. She honors her family, they are at peace because she chose to spare the youngling.Īnakin does not stop himself, he chooses to slaughter the children every step of the way. Both come from places of understandable and deeply empathizable pain, they’re both characters that my heart aches for.īut Reva stops herself, she chooses mercy at the last moment. Just as Anakin rationalized what he was doing, that he was doing this for Padme because he couldn’t live without her, this was the only way he could become strong enough to save her.īoth are just excuses for their own pain and suffering and their desire for what they want, not what the people they love want. She rationalizes it, she says she wants “Justice.” when she goes after Luke Skywalker, a youngling like herself with a family willing to die to protect this child, just as the Jedi Knights died protecting their younglings, their family. She swore to destroy him and very nearly became the thing she herself swore to destroy. “Have I become him?” Reva sobs to Obi-Wan in Obi-Wan Kenobi. “You have become the very thing you have sworn to destroy,” Obi-Wan says to Anakin in Revenge of the Sith. I’m still not over how well Reva Sevander fits into the storyline of not just Star Wars but specifically Anakin Skywalker’s story, that she’s not just a Jedi youngling that he brutally killed her family, but that the whole point of her character was that she was on the same trajectory as he was. If you ever want to ask me about it for whatever reason, you can send me a message on mirkwoodings, no biggie either way. I mean, I still encourage that for others, you have to set up your own boundaries on this hellsite and curate your dash, but generally I’ve cut out most of the shitty people and now I just block back or block the harassers. This, again, is boundaries for others (stop doing that to people) and for myself (because I don’t want to dance with that).Ī long while back, I used to block some who were just really annoying (especially if they were showing up just to be salty on my positivity posts), but that’s not as often these days. I block anyone who shows up only to argue with me or who has joined in harassment against me. Like, seriously, I’m begging some of you to learn about the concept of boundaries.Ģ. I do take boundaries seriously, whether it’s someone I’ve immediately forgotten about or someone I want nowhere fucking near me (she knows who she is), if we’re not meant to interact that’s fine, but we should actually disengage and leave each other the fuck alone then, because I think not nearly enough people on this site have basic emotional boundaries. I don’t particularly care or even know why someone has blocked me in these cases, it’s purely just “okay, seems like the polite thing to do is make it mutual” and then I often legit forget who the person even is. I return block anyone that blocks me, because I assume that the person doesn’t want any interaction and it seems like it’s good boundaries. Since I’ve been asked about this recently, I’ll just make a blanket statement: If you’re confused about why I blocked you, it’s probably one of two reasons:ġ.
