SKELETON CREW | 1.08: THE REAL GOOD GUYS

Part: 132/?

“If you’re not a rebel spy, you missed your calling.” That must have been such a slap in the face for Dedra. I actually cheered here. The most fascist of all of them is accused of being a rebel. That’s the irony I’m living for.

we passed a sign in boring that said their sister city is dull, scotland

I love Andor for giving their antagonists shitty endings. We follow Dedra and Syril for such a long time that there are moments where we kind of root for them or feel bad for them, even though we know they're terrible people. Andor creates situations to put ourselves in their shoes AND it treats these characters as they should be treated- as villains. There is no "she was just misunderstood" or "there was good in him." These bastards are straight up, unrelentlessly evil, and their endings reflect that. Syril's death is overshadowed by the cleansing of the ghors. He's filthy and at a low point and fighting a man who he's convinced is the enemy, even though the man has no idea who the fuck Syril even is. Dedra, who's whole character revolves around her ambition with her career, ends up being arrested for overreaching on her job. She ends up in a max security prison, not for the crimes she's genuinely committed, but because she disrespected the chain of command at work.

These are genuinely some fucked up endings for these two characters and I love it so much. These bitches got exactly what they deserved, I've never seen karma and justice work so swiftly.

Happiness Will Come To You.

I’m so sad.

Important developments concerning Sudan

the Guardian

Sudan's military rulers and opposition reach power-sharing deal

Rule will rotate between civilian and military members of governing council

Now speaking as an Arab born in an Arab country who's grown up hearing about Arab politics my entire life, this is far from a good place to land. The military will almost certainly continue their fascist ways and people will still get killed. No talk of women's rights, no talk of an end to anti-blackness (which was serious enough for a genocide), no talk of restoring the Internet in these negotiations and discussions. This is still an awful situation for the Sudanese people and they are risking their lives, bodies, and mental health for their rights and their children's rights. Please continue donating to their emergency medical aid gofundme. It's been six months and the money still hasn't been fully accumulated to meet their goal.

If you disagree with something I said or have something to add, I would gladly listen if you are Sudanese (particularly Black Sudanese) or come from another Arab and / or African country who's experienced something similar.
