petition to rename Qimir to Darth Thot

Can we just agree that Kelnacca was the most sane one in this whole show in this new episode No bad dialogue, no confusing characterization, no crappy fight scenes.

Nah, this man just showed up, kicked ass, then died. What a legend.

Ahsoka and Jecki would totally be besties, nothing can change my mind, they are meant for each other (platonically)

You cannot tell me this man is not down bad for Osha

Quick psa to Acolyte shippers because I'm starting to see some stuff already *heavy sigh*:

If your ship got confirmed/actors talked about it etc, good for you!! That's really cool and I'm happy for you!! WITH THAT SAID- your ship being confirmed, doesn't mean you're like "the chosen one", the "correct one", or the "only one valid". I'm already seeing people coming after other Acolyte ships that haven't been "comfirmed" and like.... There is already so much toxicity in the Star Wars Fandom already, please don't create more.

Don't be that person. Don't bully others because their ships are not "confirmed" and such.

This is about fake people in fake space for God's sake, but people behind screens, creating fanworks (arts, edits, writing etc), they're REAL and coming after them to mock them or bully them, that's not the way to go bestie.

Create the arts, writings, fics, edits, ANYTHING you want for your ship(s).

Use your time for this, not to bully others.

There is already such a huge negative impact (we're talking racism, homophobia and more) created by some """""""fans""""""" of the franchise since the Acolyte has been out, please do NOT create more issues, or bully people because they do not like the same things/ships as you and such.

Some people like sunsets, some prefer christmas lights and some enjoy flowers! Does that mean one is wrong? Fuck no! We're better than this, we've been following the franchise for days, weeks, months, YEARS even, DECADES! It's not hurting anyone to accept some principles of the Jedi:

"Jedi use their powers to defend and protect, never to attack others. Jedi respect all life, in any form."

Let's be respectful towards each other and celebrate the fact that creations and this beautiful franchise brought us together, made us meet so many new people and friends. If you don't like something, scroll or block, but NEVER bully.

*Heavy fcking sigh* As long as your stuff isn't problematic, you do you boo.

DAMN I REALLY WASN'T EXPECTING THIS DURING THIS WEEK'S EPISODE OH MY FCKING GOD

Time for fix-it fics cause I'm NOT buying this. Delulu is the solulu and that is trululu.

💛PSA YORD/OSHA SHIPPERS💛

We got you babes, we're taking over following this week's ep!💛

Delulu is the sol-ulu (see my pun ? sorry not sorry)!! I know it hurts. I know it fucking hurts right now. But we got your back.💛 @zorosnavigator & I made a Yorsha server not long ago. It's chill, we're not a lot there but we're talking theories, fanfics, anything and everything and if you wanna join us, shoot her or me @maul-of-shame a dm and we'll give you an invite. Let's just get together and make sure those two get the love the franchise didn't give them entirely💛

Also to other shippers, I'm so sorry you peeps are in the same situation. It sucks, it really does and I'm hoping this is like a sort of "dream/hallucination" theory to make sure Osha picks a peaceful option but yeah... I'm really sorry and take care of yourself 🫂💛

Acolyte spoilers ep 5:

Okay so salty take about the Acolyte, episode 5 now that it has simmered for a bit. I'm still a salty grieving bish X'D

With the recent episode being this cruel, brutal, sadistic and completely unecessary (give fanfics writers 5 minutes and you'll get 15 alternatives avoiding this plot mess), only backed up by two arguments from Leslye being "But Anakin did it too" and "I told it to everyone and no one stopped me", I genuinely hope this ep was like a pollen induced hallucination, dream, nightmare, or something like that.

I have one last thread of hope this isn't like a "fixed" plot point.

I love the Acolyte, I've been loving it since the start, the costumes, the cast, the plots and subplots, the fights, the characters... This feels like a betrayal.

I know Star Wars knows how to make us care for characters (hell I'm a Clone Wars girlie I just KNOW) to take them away from us but those two, Yord and Jecki, there was no actual REASON or plot point "good enough" for this to happen.

This was made to be sadistic. To be cruel. To "show us the cruelty of the Sith" but this coud have been done so many other ways.

And the fact she only backed it up with "But Anakin did it" and "No one stopped me" when she explained it... Ma'am.

Put on the brakes.

First of, this was NOTHING like Anakin's situation. Period. I don't care if you hate Anakin, Anakin never ENJOYED killing the younglings. Qimir was being sadistic, Skyguy WASN'T.

Secondly, if no one stops you, does it mean you're allowed to do whatever the Force you want? If no one stopped you from jumping into the ocean, if no one stopped you from running after a bear, if no one stopped you from ANYTHING... Would you still do it, knowing it's dangerous ?

What kind of answer, genuinely, is this???

"Oh no one stopped me from setting fire to that bus stop so ahah the others are guilty" like no??? Take some accountability for this. You made choices, then stand by them.

Admit those were yours.

I'm gonna watch next ep, episode 6 HOPING AND PRAYING this is just an hallucination/dream/nightmare from one of the character and if it isn't and keep going, I'll just stop watching.

I'm already writing fix-it fics, I'm sure some you peeps are too.

Leslye doesn't deserve bullying. Neither does the cast. And this isn't bullying.

This is constructive criticism about a series with so much potential and a plot point that can (and probably has) let down fans. This could have been followed up with so MANY alternatives, way less brutal, way less sadistic but she chose that.

I am genuinely heartbroken for the actors. They poured their entire beings into it, showed their talents, their personalities and for fuck's sake, we do LOVE THEM. From Yord to Jecki, to Osha and Sol, Bazil, Mae, the Witches... I feel so bad for them.

This plot point was just made for shock value, to be cruel. This doesn't bring anything to the plot. This is why it's making me angry.

And do not get me started about the fact they showed very little emotions when it came to the deaths (Osha felt Jecki's briefly, Sol reacted as expected, but Osha showing no emotions for Yord's when they've been friends and padawans training together for YEARS??), their bodies being left in that damn forest to rot,...

This episode was heartbreaking. It really was. I really hope she makes me bite back my tongue and this is like a nightmare/hallucination thingy... I really do...

Reminder we have a Yord/Osha shipping Discord!!!💛

Send a dm to get an invite!!💛

How it feels when you finally figured out the vibes you wanna bring into your first Yorsha (Yord/Osha) smut:

I'm not saying you ain't ready but I think I COOKED with it, at least I'm happy with it and I'm proud of it so that probs means something XD

Also it's just +7k of it, sad I didn't drag it out for longer but heYYYY

REMINDER WE HAVE A YORSHA SERVER PEEPS, SEND A DM TO GET AN INVITE!!!

EDIT: DAY OF THE FINAL EPISODE MY POINT STILL STANDS!!! There is no "winning" here. The series has some damn good qualities but also some damn heartbreaking flaws. As a Yorsha, I could go ON on a rent as to why killing him off AND Jecki were some big mistakes but this isn't the point. If you're a Oshamir, good for you, I'm happy you got your ship!

WITH THAT SAID- I better not see you ranting on Oshecki and Yorsha and mocking them, saying they "lost" or else. Those are fictional people, in a fictional galaxy but people behind screens are REAL PEOPLE.

Everyone can have their one interpretations, fanfics and all and you've got no right to sh*t on people's feelings and ships.

To each their own, let's be respectful here.

For the Yord/Osha peeps: We have a Yorsha shipping server, if you're interested, send me a dm!

"Of Blood and Bone" Update 2:

Okay so hi peeps!! So I have decided that this Witcher AU fic for the Acolyte characters will have 2 endings.

One for Oshecki (Osha/Jecki), and one for Yorsha (Yord/Osha).

Once we reach this part of the fic, the end, there will be 2 chapters.

Basically you'll be able to take your pick! Also, before some get their gears going, no, there won't be Oshamir/Oshimir (Osha/Qimir) in this one. There is no need to comment, request and all, I just cannot stand this ship. This is visceral, it just makes me want to throw up, like genuine disgust.

For the chapters containing violence, blood and all, I'll update the tags, ratings and all and put notes before each chapter so you can skip if you want/or not!

So you can read the first chapter here:

And you can get access to the playlist here (if you want to get in the mood to read it!):

To each their own when it comes to opinions, but don't accuse me of "lacking media comprehension" just because I have different takes than you.

Your points are just your interpretations, not absolute facts, just like mine are. I never said you "had" to agree with them, but dismissing differing views as ignorance is not constructive in any way, shape or form, no matter the words you are using.

Calling out certain elements of the story as plot holes or not is subjective. Just because you don't see them as plot holes doesn't mean others can't. It's a matter of personal perspective.

Character's Dark Side Seduction: You see it as a "character being seduced to the dark side and ignoring heinous acts". Fine, others might view it differently. The story's execution left gaps for some viewers, including myself. Dismissing these concerns as a lack of comprehension is downright arrogant. People can perceive the same narrative in varied ways, and it’s essential to respect that. You want to believe this is "normal", then good for you. If I interpret it as a lack of cohesion, that's my own. I would have accepted her fall if it had been gradual and not whatever this was. But that's just me. Just like your view is yours.

Desire for More Character Development: Wanting more character development is not just a personal preference, it's a valid critique. Deep, well-rounded characters are crucial for understanding their motivations, backgrounds, and actions within the story and they deserved more time, screentime or at least lore. Suggesting that this is merely a personal whim undermines the importance of character development in storytelling. It’s a critical aspect of narrative structure and engagement and HELPS with the plot and subplots.

Sol’s Character Arc: You interpret Sol’s death as meaningful and pivotal. Others might see it as a loose end or a poorly handled arc. For me, it certainly feels lacking, poorly handled, and judging by the majority of responses echoing this sentiment, I am not alone. So, according to your logic, it seems that a significant number of viewers is also "lacking media comprehension" then, which is an unreasonable assumption.

Different perspectives on a character’s journey are more than valid and you trying to prove "others are ignorant/lacking media comprehension" because they have different views than you is baffling.

Critiquing a show and expecting more from its narrative depth and coherence doesn't mean someone lacks media comprehension.

It shows that they are engaging critically with the material.

Engaging with a show critically is a sign of investment and interest, not ignorance.

And just because someone is able to critique a show, doesn't mean they hate it. I loved the Acolyte.

So, before you dismiss others' views, consider that differing opinions can coexist without one being inherently wrong. And "getting better at media comprehension", this isn't a sort of test or contest. People are allowed to criticized media and art without making a competition, trying to guess who's right/wrong.

I'm never gonna change your mind, you're never gonna change mine, so I wish you the best finding whatever you're looking for.

Spoilers for the Acolyte Finale: (spicy)

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.

I think the Jedi are a massive system of unchecked power, posing as a religion, a delusional cult that claims to control the uncontrollable. [...] Not the Force. Your emotions. You project an image of goodness and restraint, but it's only a matter of time before one of you snaps. [...] The majority of my colleagues can't imagine a galaxy without the Jedi. And I can understand why. When you're looking up to heroes, you don't have to face what's right in front of you.

Dont’ Like, Don’t Read

or DL; DR

You are responsible for curating your own online experience.

If something upsets you, makes you angry or queasy or triggers you, stop reading/looking at it. Avoid things that might make you feel that way.

Learn to use the Sort and Filter function on AO3, especially the Exclude tools.

On social media, block and mute accounts / tags / words when necessary.

If you hated something, you don’t need to tell that to the creator or start pointing fingers at them publicly.

The Back button is free. Use it.

Addendum:

Yes, for this to work, creators need to tag their works accordingly, so that people know what sort of content they are about to engage with and can nope out if necessary.

I will probably make another PSA about the importance of proper tagging later.

Ship And Let Ship

or SALS

You are allowed to ship whatever you want.

Everyone else is also allowed to ship whatever they want.

You are entitled to dislike or even hate a ship. If you want to do this online, in public, don’t use the ship tags for hate posts.

If you see someone posting about a ship they like and you don’t, there is no need for you to start arguing with them in their replies / comments / QRTs / reblogs. Don’t throw your hate in their face.

Do not harass fan creators or fans for shipping something you disapprove.

All of this also applies to liking / disliking an individual character.

Addendum:

”I agree with this, except when…”

No, then you are NOT agreeing with this.

Let me make this VERY clear. There are NO exceptions. None.

You don’t EVER harass real people over pixels.

If you disagree with this, kindly block and move on.

Even if you don’t like a specific kink, other people are still allowed to use it in their creations.

You are entitled to dislike kinky content and think that it’s ”weird”.

Don’t kink shame or judge people based on their kinks.

This goes both ways: your kink is not someone else’s kink, so don’t push it onto those who are not into it.

Be Kind

Focus on the things you like instead of the things you hate.

Create and unite instead of destroying and dividing.

Don’t harass real people over fictional things.

Stop stirring up petty drama just to get some attention on social media.

Stop trying to ”win”. Fandom is not a competition.

Remember that your own experiences aren’t universally shared. Your perception of things can differ from someone else’s, but that doesn’t mean either of you is necessarily wrong.
