Nightqueens-world - Ask Me Anything

Ya know Vern gonna tell it!😛

It’s really frustrating to see fanboys clamoring for a Qimir/Plagueis-focused show when that was exactly what season 2 of The Acolyte was gearing up to explore. We were going to get that anyway; we just needed to be patient and let the story develop before diving into the main plot.

Leslye has said from the beginning that Qimir’s importance was reserved for season 2, and we were only getting a glimpse of what’s to come. Now, the same fanboys who contributed to the show's downfall are the ones crying about wanting him back.

I also feel like many fans overlook the nuance in Qimir’s character. He’s not some evil mastermind obsessed with destroying the Jedi—he’s a lonely guy just trying to survive and wield his power on his own terms.

He doesn’t even see himself as a Sith; he knows the Jedi would be the ones to label him that. His character is so nuanced that other writers might miss these layers and reduce him to just the ruthless, angry version we saw in episode 5.

Moreover, Osha being the main character doesn’t diminish Qimir’s relevance or the importance of any other characters. He would have essentially taken Sol’s role, and we saw how much development and screen time Sol got, despite not being the MC. A story about Qimir and Plagueis can’t work without Osha and Mae. Osha is Qimir’s acolyte and his love interest—they’re a package deal, and their characters are essential to each other’s development. Plagueis needs the twins because he wants immortality and to create life from the Force, and what could be more perfect than having one of a pair of twins, created from that very power, right at his doorstep?

Damn that last line got me but it's true

i find it strange that it’s a huge headcanon in the fandom that lily and james ‘rushed’ into marriage just because james got lily pregnant like.. c’mon.

they both knew they wanted to get married before they even had sex, maybe two or three dates into their relationship. and it’s absolutely terrifying when you realise that the person you’re holding hands with really is the person you’re meant to spend the rest of your life with even though you’re only seventeen and being married isn’t something that has ever crossed your mind because there’s a war going on and you don’t know if you’re gonna even make it to twenty.

but yeah. yeahhh. that’s exactly what happened to james and lily potter. they found a soulmate, a life partner in one another, and they couldn’t wait to get married and do it all together; to share a vow and a future and a home, to live under one roof and be there for each other through it all, to become one and to grow together.

and they weren’t held back by the same struggles that usually hold back other pairs of lovers; they were financially stable, and they’d both completed their education and were in the same stages of their lives. nothing stood in their way. they were ready to get married the moment they’d left hogwarts.

so no, they didn’t rush. it wasn’t because of an unexpected baby or a war haunting them; they didn’t get married because they thought they were running out of time. they got married because they couldn’t wait to spend the rest of their lifetimes together.

(they had no idea they were running out of time.)
