i don't want the ghorman project. i've thought it through all night, and i don't want it
I would have been a lot more okay with the way Cinta died if killing off black and brown characters for the sake of the development of white characters weren't already a pattern for Andor.
I see the tragic sort of irony in the fact that Cinta seems almost invincible in the face of danger from the Empire— she's so alert and competent and ready for anything— of course it could only be an accident that she wouldn't see coming. And I see the interest in the concept of there being a death on this mission not because of the Imperial crackdown the group was afraid of, but because a green kid could only see that outside danger instead of the even more likely dangers of within-group panic and disorganization.
But it all rings hollow when over and over and over, the writers of Andor kill off darker-skinned characters just so the lighter-skinned ones can have their character development moments. Taramyn and Gorn dying first and fastest at Aldhani, Birnok being introduced just to help Cassian plan before he's killed off immediately so Kino and Melshi can get their moments instead. Then tossing Nurchi in there just to die just because, I guess. The way Clem is mostly there for his death to be a catalyst to Maarva and Cassian.
And so all I can think about watching this scene is wow, what a surprise, we killed off the brown girlfriend so the white one can have her moment of tragedy and eloquent monologue. It makes me furious, it makes me sad, it makes me bitter and resentful that this just keeps happening and happening in a show where I KNOW the writers are capable of doing better and yet they CHOOSE not to every. single. time.
A second wlw obimaul art hit the may the 4th, this time it's a silly little comic that is the direct sequel of this one <3 (link)

sooooo fucked up but padme and shmi are inextricably linked in anakin’s mind as both his family, his attachments and the people he will do anything to keep in his life, the secret-most part of him he gets to have all to himself, ANDDD palpatine is in that secret chamber too. he didn’t grow up with a father so he’s got palpatine and obi-wan to choose from, and obi-wan loves him obviously but can only say it when he thinks anakin is dying, like it or not there is a level of emotional repression in the prime jedi order that anakin simply never gets from palpatine who he kneels before and trusts without question. palpatine and padme the politicians he is told not to trust, shmi the mother he was never meant to see again. mother & father & mother to his children. each an attempt at a family unit he never really got. it’s the evilest dynamic of all time and of course it ends in a bloodbath
