kleya and luthen being the centre of the rebellion from the start. they’re each others catalyst, spinning tightly together and gaining energy with each turn. spurring others into action, random moments across the galaxy connected by what luthen and kleya build. the way that kleya’s comms bring luthen to bix to cassian. send vel and cinta off apart and then together. are a voice to the ghormans. get mon from a senate arrest to yavin… and then when everyone’s flown away, when the rebellion has cast luthen aside, it’s kleya’s same old rebellion radio which still reaches cassian. gets the words death star from the isb to the rebel alliance
and kleya is so sure she can’t do this without luthen. all she believes in is her connection to him. until cassian and melshi drag her to yavin and mon wants to know if she’s okay and vel finds her in the forest because she has friends everywhere. she’s the connection between them all. and when kleya wakes up and stands smiling out at the heart of the rebel base realising that even if luthen has burned what they built has lived on… I don’t have lately, I have always. it will always be because of them
Meanwhile the south has given us some of our most powerful historical figures in the fight for change as well as some of the best protest music/art 😤
I hate when people who aren’t from the south feel like they have some enlightened bullshit to spout at or about us can you shut the fuck up please and thank you 🫶 would be doing me a huge favor if you stopped painting the south with a huge brush that you’ve labeled “stupid and bigoted and politically backwards”
Lucanis “It’s not enough.”
Rook “it is and you are.”
These are the most meaningful quotes from the romance lock in scene. Everyone complains that he just made Rook dessert. But this scene shows that Rook UNDERSTANDS Lucanis. (The player may not and that’s fine.) They see his attempt to make the meal for Rook. He is cooking everyone a nice meal as a thanks for the help with my tragic life but he makes Rook a dessert to match their favorite drink. He is trying to point out that Rook is special, that they all helped but it’s really Rook that he feel the need to thank and apologize to “for everything.”
And Rook, who knows his mind and sees straight through him gets it. They call him out and make him put words to the gesture. He tries and laments that the pastry, his words aren’t enough for them. But Rook disagrees. It’s not kisses or love declarations but that’s okay. The gesture is enough for Rook. Lucanis, as he is, is enough for Rook. They don’t push him for more, they don’t need more than Lucanis is willing to give.
For me, this is just a beautiful scene and a beautiful romance. Lucanis has learned about romance from books and he can’t seem to do it right. He tried for the suave wall kiss but couldn’t go through with it. He tried making them dessert but couldn’t bring himself to profess it. And Rook is just going with the flow, letting him set the pace and taking the pressure off of him to try and meet the crazy standards of what romance is that is set by others. I love it so much.
How people can mistakenly think or just subconsciously feel food works: there are “unhealthy” foods like pizza or fried chicken and “healthy” foods like fruit salad or steamed vegetables. Every time you eat an “unhealthy” food you’ve harmed yourself in some way.
How food actually works: foods contain carbs, proteins, fats, sugars, vitamins, minerals, fiber and/or other nutrients. Your body needs and uses all of them but it would like to have a little of everything every day. If you ate pizza or fried chicken for lunch then that’s probably your fat and protein for the day with extra that your body will make use of in time, so it’s a good idea to make your next meal something different like that fruit salad or steamed veggies. You can have that fatty lunch every single day if you just maintain balance and stay active enough to actually use what you’re stocking up on because foods aren’t “good or bad;” they just either fit into the rest of your diet and lifestyle or they don’t.

mercy seems like a long shot here, so my prayer for inauguration day 2025: may they be incompetent. may they just be really bad at implementation. may their egos choke their effectiveness. may they drown themselves week by week with infighting and selfish posturing. may they be easily distracted. may the very governors and senators and agencies and religious leaders that the new administration expects to be friendly force endless stalemates to preserve their own power. may every delay turn into a three ring blame circus so chaotic that no one remembers what they were doing. may the good and necessary parts of government be too boring to draw attention and keep running quietly in the background. may the next four years be full of sound and fury and signify nothing.
FRIENDLY REMINDER THAT TRUMP DID NOT SAVE TIKTOK!! THIS WAS ALL A STUNT TO MAKE HIM LOOK GOOD!!
PAY ATTENTION TO WHATEVER HAPPENS NEXT!!
