I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY DID THAT!

NO

I CAN’T BELIEVE THEY CALLED THAT HUMANE!

I am beyond appalled. Not just at what happened, the utter dismantlement of basically a persons soul (their memories, everything that makes them them), stripped away and stored for their own benefit. I am even more appalled that yet again Artie thinks it’s a good idea and that nobody verbally objected.

Can I headcanon that Myka was biting her tongue? That maybe her enthusiasm to get the coin was partly righting the wrong, in addition to protecting HG?

Ahhhhhhhh!

(Yes I might be watching while venting)

“It would be like burning down a library with a friend trapped inside”

OMG let’s unpack that. 1) Myka still thinks of HG as a friend, 2) she respects her and 3) “we don’t trade lives” – the friend thing again, if she truly felt HG was nothing more than a resource at best and an enemy at worst she wouldn’t argue. Instead Myka is willing to risk everything to save her.

“I will not destroy HG Wells”

“There is no discussion”

Ahhhhhhhhh – seriously my shipper heart. “You’ll be gone, you’ll be dead. The price is too high”

“How do you say goodbye to the one person who knows you better than anyone else?”
“I wish I knew”

Seriously I could quote this entire scene. I ship it! I ship it hard! Myka has tears and HG is willing to die to protect the world her bronzing-induced madness nearly made her destroy.

Can I headcanon that the reason the last thing HG wanted to see was the sky, was because if she was looking at Myka her resolve would slip? After all Myka is the only one who can talk her down/change her mind.

OMG poor HG /cries. She flinches when Sykes hands her the water because her last memories were of being a hologram and not able to touch anything – seriously back to the rant THE HUMANE OPTION REALLY??

I am so glad I saved this until after I had done my work because I am emotionally compromised. I have too many feels!

I’m not sure what I missed while I’ve been in essay hell. Probably a lot, as while I whined on here I didn’t really scroll, so anything that wasn’t at the top of the dash when I refreshed was buried.

If you want me to see anything in particular then chuck it my way. I’m a little brain dead right now but I don’t go back until mid-January

so I have time to look at stuff for a change 🙂

I’m about halfway through writing my final essay and I’m running out of things to say…

seriously how on earth am I supposed to double the length?

I suppose I could always take Sara up on her suggestion and try to tell them Thanos vanished the other half 🙂 (a day later and I still find that funny hehe)

You know when I watched Star Wars a few years back the main point that stuck with me was how I didn’t agree with the Jedi that love was bad. I read a fair bit of “Anakin didn’t go dark but grey” fanfic. I like the idea of love being strength, of giving reason to the fight. Loving someone might make a person vulnerable but corruption isn’t mandatory. People can care and still do the right thing.

Watching Attack of the Clones tonight I’m cringing at how I could ever have sympathised with Anakin. He is creepy, arrogant, entitled. I can see how some of it was caused by the rigidity of the Jedi (I think taking young kids from their families and expecting them to cut all ties is awful) but Obi-Wan seems like a good role model. Perhaps not as tough as he should be he just reprimands Anakin, but still there’s no excuse really for Anakin’s behaviour. I know Palpatine has been whispering in his ear but that doesn’t excuse Anakin’s personality.

I think I have to join the club of people who wonder why Padme fell for Anakin. Seriously she starts the movie with “Don’t look at me like that it makes me uncomfortable” and he doesn’t stop. How do they go from that to marriage? Plus Anakin out and out says he thinks a dictatorship is best. Although with that Padme thought he was joking :/

Makes me wonder if there’s a middle ground, a way to humanise the Jedi without excusing Anakin for his gross behaviour. I mean seriously “you are in my very soul tormenting me” yuck.

Although I can’t forget that from this pairing (which I am coming close to declaring a Notp) comes the legend of Leia.

Can’t give that up 🙂

Avengers trailer #NoSpoilers

Is there a gif to represent the incoherent screaming? I can’t find one but man seriously I have questions, I have feelings and waiting another few months is just

Ahhhhhhhhhhh

Will they pull it off? I mean it’s the tough point, its where they need to provide a satisfactory resolution and with how everything has built up is that even possible in a two hour movie? Mind you I doubted whether they’d be able to balance Civil War and I was impressed how they handled such a huge cast.

There are some fairly notable omissions from the trailer. I hope that means they are doing something important, not that they aren’t really in it.

The countdown has begun… google says May 3rd that’s

147 days

ouch

You know I swear if I actually stick with my degree then it will be entirely down to The Librarians. Starting from next year we’re forced to take 2 pre-1789 modules and previously I wasn’t sure what to pick. Definitely in reference to the Shakespeare module this was my reaction…

But thanks to The Librarians I’m feeling loads more positive about Shakespeare these days. They are so enthusiastic about him, that it makes me interested despite myself.

and I’m writing an essay on Preludes by T.S. Eliot right now and what’s cheering me up is picturing Jacob Stone being his usual self with his absolute love of literature and art, and remembering him debating T.S. Eliot in the Image of Image episode. True it was only a reference but it’s enough of a touchstone to make me actually write this essay (I take the victories where I can find them).

So in conclusion, yes I’m procrastinating ooops, but also I don’t know I just feel like this is important. It’s stuff like this that makes me mourn The Librarians cancellation even more because I think the world needs to see a love of learning on screen (I certainly do!). I can’t help but smile every time Flynn goes “I do not know and isn’t that great!” because while he likes having the answers, he loves learning new things even more.

Shutting up now (I really should finish this essay) but yeah just watch The Librarians. There’s only 42 episodes and I’m not claiming it’s perfect but it’s made of happy and thoroughly enjoyable as well as being a good influence on me study-wise.
