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.

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.
Torbin, Indara, Kelnecca, Jecki, Yord and Sol deserved absolutely none of the things they went through in the show. Absolutely none of it. I thought they were all wonderful. And I love every one of them.

Before Brendock:
The two of you were inseparable since your initial meeting when you were both younglings, forming a close bond through a shared childhood.
Very protective over you, especially with other padawans your age. Torbin wanted people to know that you were taken. Always escaping together after dark and running through the streets of Coruscant. He is truly whipped for you. Always holding some part of you whether that be your hand, elbow, arm anything and he would be happy.
Loved getting special alone time with only you two. He loved to walk through the contemplation gardens in the Jedi Temple on Coruscant. Finding peace walking hand in hand and talking to you about anything and everything on his mind.
Preferred to stay in rather than go out. The last thing he wanted was to be found out and exiled from the Jedi order. Loved to meditate with you in the security of one of your rooms. Torbin felt like he could let down his guard and relax with you.
Practising your lightsaber skills together was his favourite pastime. He wants to show you how much he's learned and share that knowledge with you further. When he would occasionally duel others to show off to you.
After endless weeks on Brendock Torbin wanted to leave even more and to come back to you. His thoughts were littered with memories of your shared laughs and kisses in secret.
After Brendock:
Never truly recovered from his emotional wounds, Torbin would always need you there with him
Constantly sought you out to make up for the lost weeks on Brendock. You ate together, trained together, walked from each room to the next together, and most nights he would ask you if he could sleep in your bed with you to calm the constant guilt he faced. Would only get into a peaceful sleep if he was in your arms.
a/n: First time writing headcannons. Please let me know if you enjoyed this and want more. I absolutely loved the first season of The Acolyte and can’t wait for more, Torbin was definitely my favourite character. Thanks for reading ❤️
