“I’ve learned from Palpatine.”

“Mon is not fully committed to the Cause yet, she hasn't given up her life and enjoys her status quo—” Mon Mothma is doing money laundry to fund terrorist activity/organization. Do people understand that? I think it's important people understand that.

from the perspectives of Imperial auditors and financial regulators that’s literally what she’ll be charged with if she’s caught. Slush fund accounts and blaming Perrin's gambling and strategic child marriages only cover her tracks until the right financial regulator goes looking; until one civil servant with the same amount of Freak as Syril Karn decides to go after discrepancies and she no longer can paper over the cracks. She's being observed by her own driver. She's got enemies everywhere, yearly financial audits, and multiple obligations to powerful people. She's borrowing time with a highest interest rate known to man and she will have to pay that debt with everything she holds dear.

Mon has long been radicalised; she's put everything on the line as down payment for it. She just puts up a front so well it’s apparently tricked the audience.

Moreover, the political thesis of the show is that resistance is everywhere; it’s an old lady clearing the underground rain tunnels for potential rebels as well as it is manifestos and prison breaks and overt attacks on Imperial buildings.

It’s also one person in the heart of the imperial core committing stunning amounts of financial crime.

Love how tumblr has its own folk stories. Yeah the God of Arepo we’ve all heard the story and we all still cry about it. Yeah that one about the woman locked up for centuries finally getting free. That one about the witch who would marry anyone who could get her house key from her cat and it’s revealed she IS the cat after the narrator befriends the cat.

SUPER controversial statement, but sometimes characters do exist to further other characters’ storylines.

That’s how stories work.

These are not real people.

P. S. I’m not saying there isn’t definitely a ‘bury your gays’ or ‘fridge your wives’ problem, but when a show has multiple examples of gays/wives and ONE dies or pretty much every single character including the protagonist will die by the end…c’mon. Pick something else to hate a good story over.

You watch the Pitt because you like Noah Wyle from ER. I watch the Pitt because I like Noah Wyle as the weird ass lawyer in the reboot of an early 2000s tv show about criminals who con billionaires. We are not the same.

Hey now, you’re an all star

I love that they included every house she represents, even Baratheon!!

What do you think it would have taken for Parker to kill or paralyze Bligh (no idea how to spell her name lol)? Like, if Astrid weren’t there I kind of genuinely believe that Parker would have done a lot worse, but Sophie was still in the room so she probably wouldn’t have killed her, you know?

Oooh good question! I agree that if Astrid and Sophie weren't there she would've done a lot worse, though I also think it's dependent on how much Bligh injured Sophie. Like if Sophie had been actually physically injured, even so much as like just a little beat up, a few bruises, maybe a split lip, I think Parker would've hurt her more, though I don't think Parker would kill Bligh over a black eye. But if Sophie had been any more injured? Then Parker would've killed Bligh. Even if Astrid and Sophie were there to watch, they wouldn't have been able to hold her back.

"There will be times when the struggle seems impossible. I know this already. Alone, unsure, dwarfed by the scale of the enemy. Remember this.

Freedom is a pure idea. It occurs spontaneously and without instruction. Random acts of insurrection are occurring constantly throughout the galaxy. There are whole armies, battalions that have no idea that they've already enlisted in the cause.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward. And then remember this: the Imperial need for control is desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle. Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that.

And know this, the day will come when all these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire's authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege.

Remember this. Try."
