My 9 Yo Brother Is LOSING HIS MIND Watching AotC. Anakin's Attempts At Flirting Have Him Howling With

i need help understanding mor and the dynamic between cassian and azriel.

TLDR; i dont get why this dynamic is so important! for mor, its two issues here and they aren’t connected. mor can reject az and keep her true sexuality a secret so why is she so insistent on being shitty to az? azriel getting rejected isn’t going to break his entire heart forever; az is a big boy he will be ok. god i hate this dynamic so much.

ok so this girl doesn’t have the courage to tell azriel that she doesn’t like him that way (or ever).

but its been 500 years of pining; like ?? i think he knows his heart has been broken?? hes a spy master; his entire profession is him seeking secrets and i would even assume knowing how to read people and such. i feel like after 500 years, he can pretty much confirm shes not interested in him. and then using cassian whenever theyre together should also signify something? are we banking on azriel to be a Head Empty dumbo man who doesn’t have an ounce of self awareness and emotional intelligence here?? mor constantly flirts w cassian as a joke. mor needing cassian to be a buffer sounds like she just wants him as the third wheel but nothing else and thats really shitty thing to do. how can she think she can keep it up?? how can she also assume cassian won’t try to find love?? she doesn’t love az why stop him from finding love???

she straight up only likes females no? she’s already sleeping with other people. thats a known fact. azriel has also slept w other people. they dont sleep together but they do just hang out–like buddies?? they go to ritas, they hang out in the houses at valeris, they do night court jobs together-ish but thats it? that sounds like what friends do. so if she rejects azriel, the worst that seems to happen is that they won’t hang out like they used to.

i flipped through ACOWAR to make sure im not missing anything and this is part of what she says:

“I’m not sure I can give my entire heart to him in that way. And…and I love him enough to want him to find someone who can truly love him like he deserves. And I love myself….I love myself enough to not want to settle until I find that person, too” (ACOWAR, 592)

“I should tell him. I need to tell him. Mother above, after last night, I should. But…It’s gone on for so long. So long. I’m petrified to face him–to tell him he’s spent five hundred years of pining for someone and something that won’t ever exist. The potential fallout…I like things the way they are.”  (ACOWAR, 593)

she says this shit!! two contradictory paragraphs!!! how are you gonna be like let az find love/i want to find love and then backtrack and be like wait i like this dynamic??? what??????? in between those two line she says this:

“It’s stupid, I know. It’s so stupid and cruel that I do this, but…I slept with Helion just to remind Azriel…Gods, I can’t even say it. It sounds even worse saying it.”

“To remind him that you’re not interested.” (ACOWAR, 593)

what is this?? literally what the fuck?? this line right here makes mor sound like such a dick. this is literally cruel; she knows hes got intense feelings for her but she does this still?? is this some kind of power trip she likes???

yes it can be heart breaking to lose a friend but at the same time stringing them along and being so elusive is worse is it not?? yes it will probably hurt az a lot especially if his feelings are super intense but i think they as characters are capable of going past this. it might not be like before, but they will still be supportive of one another.

but also consider this: what would be the consequence of rejecting azriel? will he go on a rampage? will he shut out the IC forever? will he abandon them? is there a darkness to him that makes mor afraid to speak her actual feelings? cuz i feel like at worst it would be a few awkward moments here and there but ultimately it would just be over with and they will be friends again. does she really believe that az would continue to be a hopeless puppy following her around in the hope of her loving him forever or does she think he’ll reject love forever if she rejects him? she hasn’t given him actual romantic love back so he might not be missing much. and even her words about fucken helion just to remind az she’s not interested is treating him shity enough (which also leads me to why does he love mor? did he know her before rhys brought her to the illyrian camp all those years ago when she and cassian did it?) i know she wants to keep liking females a secret, but rejecting az won’t make people automatically assume she isn’t straight.

i can’t help but think literally all of mor’s reasoning for not telling az and keeping the dynamic going is garbage. the stakes aren’t that high! shes being a bad friend and stifling both cassian and azriel! idk how az’s heart isn’t already breaking?? im really mad SJM is trying to play this up as a big thing and making this dynamic seem so important to these characters but for mor, its two issues here and they aren’t connected. mor can reject az and keep her true sexuality a secret. azriel getting rejected isn’t going to break his entire heart forever; az is a big boy he will be ok. god i hate this dynamic so much.

Season 3 episode 1: Phee beats the crap out of Cid for 30 minutes

Imagine a world where Obi-Wan survives episode IV and has to deal with another generation of disaster romances with the Skywalker family.

Leia: *falls head over heels with a dashingly handsome and very mouthy rogue who has more red flags than green*

Obi-Wan: “Oh no.”

Luke: *flirts with a stubborn yet extremely caring world leader despite the Jedi’s no-attachment rule*

Obi-Wan: “Not again.”

I have this headcanon that, when asked for their CT number, having been caught doing something they shouldn't, most clones will default to 'CT-6969'.

Because apparently someone checked and that number was blacklisted, so it's kind of an urban legend with clones, and a way to get off the hook for any damages/costs/repercussions.

Until one day, a griselled old clone shows up at 79's looking like an absolute BAMF. I mean this guy makes Woolfe look like a tiny puppy.

Scorched, scratched and tagged armour, shaggy beard, scars all over his face, just one seriously badass looking clone.

And he starts (or more finishes before it started) a fight, and when the droid behind the bar asks for his CT number, cool as a cucumber and without flinching, he replies in a gravelly voice:

"CT-6969."

And the entire bar goes silent, just staring at him while he looks around, grinning.

So when he goes to leave, a shiny gets pushed in front of him by his batch and stammers out the question; 'Are you him?'

The Old clone just laughs, pats the shiny on the shoulder and winks as he passes him by, disappearing back into the night.

Okay but Haja is such a good twist.

Because we're set up with: ah, here is the comic relief bad guy. He's faking being a Jedi, he's scamming people. Oh ho he had the Jedi right in front of him he could have been rich!

But nope. Yes he's taking credits, but he is helping the mother and child get off world.

And he doesn't set up Obi-Wan when he tells him about a ship.

He literally goes in front of an Inquisitor playing Jedi.

Usually characters like this are set up as cowards, but he's not.

In fact when Obi-Wan holds him up I'm pretty sure the reason he helps isn't the blaster on his chest but Obi-Wan telling him there's a girl who's kidnapped.

He's using the Jedi as a symbol of hope to draw people to him because he does seem to want to help, but he's not selfless he probably needs credits to run his operation.

The Show has shown us Obi-Wan is at rock bottom and the universe has kicked him in the face, but he keeps meeting people who are so brave, who help him inadvertently like the girl who gives him spice, and overtly like Haja.

Obi-Wan can't be Obi-Wan Kenobi for the universe right now.

So others have to be Obi-Wan Kenobi. Others have to be brave and stick out their necks and help people.

Like yes, we had our sad Obi-Wan in the desert moment. Loved that.

Now we're getting Obi-Wan with hope restored.

But to do that he has to let go of his attachment to the past. To his grief and guilt and Anakin.

I've said it once and I'll say it again, I HATE Amren with a passion and after acosf I'd be happy for her to leave on a permanent basis.

I honestly think Amren has alterior motives regarding the Night Court considering how much she was pushing Rhys on the idea of being High King....like what? He's just tied his fate to his Mate's and you want him to literally risk it all for power???

I see you, you little Asteri traitor 👀

dude waxer deserved better. i hope theres a universe where waxer is living on ryloth with that little twileck girl and boil
