It's really charming how Blue Eye Samurai unironically did the "I was actually wearing weights the whole time!" trope in 2023.

This scene is just incredible...

okay, okay, but the whole "a sword needs impurities, it cannot be too pure or it will break" thing - Mizu needing to allow the people she meets along her journey to influence and change her - the way that in order to achieve her purpose she needs to be able to bend in her purpose - and the way that season 2 is probably going to be set in Europe (?!).

If she ends up in europe, she's going to be forced to reckon with the idea that not all white people are monsters and she's going to have to re-evaluate who she is in light of that information. And I'm having a MOMENT about that okay. I had a mentor once who told me that someone of mixed race or mixed ethnicity can't pick and choose what they are - she was saying I had to own all of my family tree, the the monsters and the victims together. Mizu is going to have to embrace and incorporate her white heritage into her identity the same way she had to re-evaluate her identity and incorporated the new metals when she wanted to melted down her broken sword. I AM HAVING A FUCKING MOMENT

one of those time travel AUs where Vader goes back into his body as Anakin before he fell to the dark side and fixes everything. Palpatine is dead, the Jedi are alive, and everyone's happy. He never found out who Luke's twin sister was, but that's fine because this time around he'll get to know both of them from birth. The twins are born and Padmé says she wants to name their daughter Leia! :) And Anakin thinks, Hmm. Looking back I can see that Princess Leia was a good person, and we were only enemies because I went and became a Sith. Okay we can name our daughter Leia :)

Years pass and Leia starts growing older. The Organas adopt a completely different girl. Anakin's looking at his daughter like no, it can't be. No way. Do NOT tell me that Princess Leia was Luke's twin all along, but time keeps passing and it becomes increasingly apparent that this is indeed the case, and now he's having a Crisis

Oooh two little someones got into the fountains...
