Techno/Phil Apologists Rise Up

Bruh I read the Ahsoka novel before season 7 I should’ve been more prepared for the ending. It’s literally in the Ahsoka novel wtf

Also

Philza Minecraft and Wilbur are the only ones in SBI that are canonically family and they are DEFINITELY an adult Father and Son.

It may be hard to really conceptualize a time in your life where the stuff that goes on between those two can happen.

But it does happen. Parents and children can be at odds with each other to the point of devastation, to the point where their actions and words go against everything the other believes in.

Phil entered the server and was immediately met with his severely mentally ill adult son about to destroy everything he cared about. Phil tried everything within his power to convince Wilbur not to press that button and Wilbur did it any way. Not to mention that after that Wilbur was suicidal, begging for his father to kill him on the spot, and Phil initially refused to do it before giving his son his last wish.

That moment is a character defining moment. Wilbur started the first government on the server and it broke him completely. Phil 100% blames the existence of that nation for breaking his son and, even if indirectly, causing his death.

Ghostbur is a completely different person than Wilbur, the same memories but in no way the same. With those events in mind the very very careful way Phil deals with Ghostbur makes sense, the man is sympathetic but distant. He is 10,000% still mourning and Ghostbur is a stranger.

The actions that L'Manburg took with Phil are even more harmful when taking these things into account. They were already living in the shadow of Wilbur's death but then they place Phil under house arrest with the intent to blackmail Phil's best friend and then execute Technoblade right in front of Philza's house.

L'Manburg already took one person he loved away from him, no way was Phil going to let it happen for a 3rd time.

So when Phil and Techno destroyed L'Manburg and Ghostbur's everything was unrecoverable, yeah it's sad. It's sad to see Ghostbur lose everything when he didn't take any action against them intentionally. But the destruction wasn't about that. It was revenge, and justice, and a message, and an attempt to stop anything else from happening like it did again. Ghostbur's tragedy was a very very unfortunate side effect. Which it shouldn't have to be. I don't think anyone is arguing the opposite, but to Phil, the man known as the Angel of Death, the man who will desperately protect what he has left, it's an acceptable loss.

Both Ghostbur and Philza are in the right here and they can't really say sorry or try to make things better because they are an adult father son duo with different perspectives and reasonings that make them both correct.

So miss me with the Phil is a bad dad BS, Wilbur is a grown up dead man and parents/kids can be on opposing sides in conflict and often are. This isn't a matter of their relationship, it's a matter of conflict and war and how every action has a consequence.

Thank you for coming to my tedtalk.

A thing that I think about in the clone wars fandom:

- Helix is not an actual character to appear I believe. But it has been headcanoned so much that he is the 212th medic, that it might as well be canon.

Please give a name to the Kamino Security Officer I am begging. I don’t even know him and he barely has anything but I love him

I’m just cracking up over this. I’ve sent it to my friends I’m dying and I don’t think they get the video.

It’s fair to say I lost my shit

Have many thoughts. More specifically, thinking of that one scene in OXENFREE (spoilers kinda btw) where Michael and Alex talk about the future. The one where Michael lists a lot of “don’t do drugs or whatever, get good friends, etc.” and how it’s a very sad scene bc it’s like a brother and sister moment and the dialogue that the player can choose can be sad. But why does the matter rn? Well if you replace Alex with Ahsoka and Anakin or Rex with Michael then you get even more sadness :D.

Anyways this also just makes me want to do an Oxenfree Au.

Ooh ok five things that make me happy.

My friends I got from this year. I've always had a slight FOMO and a little bit of an imposter syndrome in relation to friends. This is defininetly been actually nice for me, I actually haven't felt anything related to an imposter syndrome this year since I left for university. So I'm really happy to have made the friends I did.

Editing. Editing has always been a form of art that I love to do. I'm still on the newer side of things (like I'm about to hit 5 years now). I've actually made insta moots with editors that I like looked up to. One of them I even got slightly close to and did a lil animal crossing prom thing in a discord with them which was insane. I mean it's crazy when these people you've watched make edits and aspire to make edit slike them, suddenly become mutuals with you on instagram. I started on insta and now I'm on tt. I started with RvB and I went back to RvB after the era we do not talk about but I'm also doing f1 and fe edits.

Motorsports. I've always been a sports jumper. I started with MLB then went to NBA and then NFL. I like to say that the more I get into a sport is based on the funny videos of them. MLB is obvious, I've seen all the old funny videos that I could tell you what happens in the clips. I've seen so many that I've seen so many repeat clips. NBA was more Luka for some reason, I think I liked his trick shot stuff. There isn't a lot of funny moments without involving someone in the negative light, which is different from MLB. Which I loved MLB funny moments that occured between the two teams. And then NFL just happened somehow with some funny things but not a lot. And then I found motorsports through a Brocedes edit. And I just fell in love through the funny moments. My parents sometimes ask me, how do I know so much f1 stuff, and I say it's because I consumed a lot of videos. Which I did, but majority were a funny complimation. And then suddenly formulawah made a guide to formula e, and there were quips in there that made me interested in watching fe. And suddenly now I'm watching all the lil funny montages they have up on the fe channels. And so yeah, f1 and fe make me happy.

Gaming. I play a lot of different genres of games (OXENFREE is my favorite totally recommend try playing it AAAAAAAA I could go on a whole ramble about this). Right now I have a fixation on Stardew Valley (especially with the new update) so I'm gonna binge play that. But I just love gaming, especially games with character designs and stories). And gaming just makes me happy.

Red vs Blue. It's like slightly also making me sad because it's ending (also everything Project Freelancer makes me sad (THERE IS LITERALLY A SONG THATS KINDA HAPPY AND VIBES ARE GOOD CALLED "We'll be coming back" BUT I GET SAD EVERYTIME BC SOMEONE ONCE COMPARED IT TO WASH AND THE FREELANCERS AND I JUST SCREAM) ahem anyways, yeah it can also make me sad). But it also makes me laugh a lot, and I love the characters dearly. Even if I scream in frustration when a fic on ao3 may not update in a month (bc the fandom is like half dead there ngl and that usually means discontinued sometimes). But I love Red vs Blue so much. I bought the fanbook, I bought some like slap bracelets. I just love it and it makes me happy. I could literally anaylyze every single character.

Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos

But it’s Rex and his two arcs, Fives and Echos.

Rex would be The King, Echo the Poet and Fives the Soldier.

Coming in to say that Two Birds on a Wire gives me so much Wash vibes along with No Children.

We rise and we fall

And we break

And we make our mistakes
