Maybe this is me being picky, a bitch, or just using braincells but this didn't make sense on so many points???????!!!!!! You want me to believe Osha, who witnessed the deaths of the Jedi, INCLUDING HER FRIENDS JECKI AND YORD, right in front of her in the most BRUTAL WAYS, realized her sister had been/was being manipulated by Qimir, who got basically kidnapped by him, THIS OSHA, would go hand in hand off into the sunset with the man who murdered her friends right after she choked her master to death and they wiped the memory of her twin sister after finally finding her after years thinking she lost everyone and leave said AMNESIC sister into the hands of people she thinks are awful ?????

AM I GENUINELY TRIPPING ???????!!!

Don't even get me started on the Vernestra stuff because- Sol was not the only one on Brendok. They were 4. 4 damn people. One went into exile, one took the vow of silence, one didn't seem that affected by it (hello she was the one saying they should cover it up) and Sol did his very best to train Osha for YEARS. He wanted her and Mae to be safe. He tried to save them both and it backfired. Did he go about it the right way ? No. Did he deserve to die for it ? Definitely not.

Sol did try to redeem himself, tried to be the best teacher and parental figure he could be for Osha, taught younglings to not be like him (visible in the lesson he's giving, also he was the only one back to teaching, JUST SAYING) and there's no point in denying that. He thought Mother Aniseya was going to kill Mae. His heart got the best of him and he acted without knowing what was happening. But don't you dare try to say they went there to "steal children" because this wasn't the damn point of the MISSION. They have been seent to EXPLORE the planet, not to STEAL CHILDREN, or MURDER PEOPLE.

Their actions were not the best, yes, but there is no need to make it seems like it was part of a "grand plan" or even more messed up.

What happened was a kid tired of spending time on a planet for god knows what was starting to get restless and a man worried about two CHILDREN, thinking something terrible was about to happen with two other people trying to shut them down messed up big time.

The miscommunication caused all of this, this could have been avoided if everyone involved TALKED.

And what was the point of making the "twins" reunite only to wipe Mae's memory and do ANOTHER cover up??? Like my sister in the Force, WHAT THE HELL ????

Mae's character, the growth, realizing he should go and be judged for his crimes, her character was beautifully written and to just end this like that: this disminish her character, Sol's character, Jecki's, Yord's and all the others.

Osha snapping after learning the truth, I can understand it, but would she just go like this? Full darkside and believe the man who manipulated her twin, killed her friends and all to just run off into the sunset with him? Would she go that easily with him????

This genuinely feels like a fanfiction someone wanted to end quickly, no matter how far off the ending and characters seemed. But, with Leslye saying she loves "enemies to lovers", I'm not surprised she did this, just heavily disappointed.

If the Jedi are this bad... Why leave an amnesic Mae with them then?

Mae, Sol, Yord, Jecki, Torbin... They all didn't deserve this. If you have to kill two potential love interests (Jecki & Yord) + downplay the villain's actions to make sure your ship (Oshamir) happens, then there is an issue here.

How in the Hell becoming a Sith and going on a rampage is liberating? Genuinely, how is that good and freeing?

Haven't you guys watched the prequels??? And Anakin's downfall???

This series was so good, genuinely great with beautiful decors, scenes, fighting choreography etc and it just... It feels like an empty ending. Idk what she thought she did with this but this ain't it.

Again, this is just my rant about it, you don't have to like it. If you loved this episode, then good for you! Congrats!! I loved the show, I really did. Until episode 5. Then it just went downhill.

Reminder we got a BG3 Discord server open peeps!!

You can come chill about characters, ramble about your tavs and all!!! We also have some rps!

He killed Jecki. I don't care how his arms and back look or how he bathes with slow languorous strokes in the clearest water or how long he stands there dripping afterwards, I'm not forgiving him for the death of that cinnamon bun.

That sounds so so FUN OMG!!!! 🤍🥹🥹🥹 Oki so if you have time, and even if you do, you don't have to do it: So I can't play BG3 (rip laptop cannot run it T-T) but I watched the playthroughs religiously so here we go XDDD

- Eilis Duskwraith, She/Her/Hers. She is a Half-Elf Ranger, subclass Gloom Stalker. She is a big lover of animals, plants (she's got like years behind her in potions making, herbal remedies etc) but also dabbles a bit in necromancy. She's got a messy practical braid for her shoulder-length hair, copper. She's got brown eyes, sunkissed skin, freckled shoulders and face. She's got a small scar on her upper lip on the right and a scar over her eyebrow on her left side. She is smart mouth, she's able to ramble for hours on end if you mention something she loves. She's feisty and doesn't let her height (5"0) get in the way. Way too honorable for her own good. She is also impulsive and a big cuddler. - With the bear man please, Halsin 🐻🌿🥹 Could be cute, funny or chaotic, I don't mind!! - Could be for example something where they have to help people from a village, or she is trying to run after a baby creature going on a food-eating rampage, or even just cuddles with Halsin 🥹🥹🥹

Thank you so much for doing and hosting this 🥹😭😭🤍🤍🤍

FAQ

Will add things here as questions come along.

What's the fic you're currently procrastinating writing?

I'm currently working on Silver Marks and Heartstrings, an Astarion x Tav Soulmate!AU.

You can read it [here] on Ao3 or [here] on Tumblr.

How long is a ficlet?

Usually under 1k words (definitely under 2k).

How much does this cost?

Nothing, it's free 🥰

I've always loved writing, and I'm currently super obsessed with BG3, so it's a win-win!

Can I send a request anonymously?

If it's an E rating, absolutely not.

If the request is intriguing enough... Maybe!

the acolyte has INCREDIBLE story beats. it has INCREDIBLY intriguing themes that deserve thorough exploration and discussion. the characters introduced have INCREDIBLE roots to be some of the coolest, most complex characters in star wars.

and yet it just fell short of all its potential to me. it has all the ingredients of a fantastic show, with a lackluster end result. i was told everything and felt nothing. where's the depth. where's the connection. where's the FLAVOR.

The Acolyte: Spoilers

That's all I'm gonna say about that final ep, for now because I am grieving and way too salty about what happened and genuinely baffled by Leslye, and not in a good way. I hope it was "worth-it" to get your enemies-to-lovers thingy after all that happened.
