"And when you sleep at night, you hear my stolen lullabies" may actually be the best line of Taylor's career for how it combines deep personal meaning, metaphor, and emotional vocal delivery to pack the most poignant punch
when they’re all finally together, i might cry
But when we see them all in one scene together in the show then what
BACKGROUND PALPATINE IS THE BEST PALPATINE LOOK AT HIM HAVING TO DEAL WITH THESE TWO IDIOTS ONE IS THE JEDI MASTER HE HAS BEEN TRYING FOR YEARS TO KILL BUT JUST CAN’T SEEM TO MANAGE IT THE OTHER IS THE FUCK OFF POWERFUL ONE THAT HE DESPERATELY WANTS AS AN APPRENTICE AND THEY’RE BOTH IDIOTS THESE ARE THE TWO IDIOTS THAT HAVE BEEN THE ROADBLOCK IN HIS WAY AND THE ONE WHO HE IS GOING TO HAVE TO DEAL WITH FOR THE REST OF HIS LIFE THIS IS THE FACE OF A MAN WHO HAS SUFFERED AT THE HANDS OF TWO PEOPLE WHO DON’T EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH SUFFERING THEY’RE CAUSING HIM
Senior Year things to appreciate apart from Gilderoy (who I think we've been doing plenty of well deserved appreciating this week):
Brian Holden as Hagrid - so fucking funny, I remember squealing my absolute head off the first time I saw this bit. I completely understand why Darren is just creasing throughout the whole scene.
The way that learning about Voldemorts backstory isn't necessary to appreciate his plot in AVPM but when you know it it adds so many more layers. Starkid literally said Voldemort is like that because of homophobic parents and we were like fuck me up fam.
This has already been discussed at length but obviously the last scene. "I hope you find that swimming pool". Albus Scarfy Potter. Quirrelmort. Wang Mu. Okay is wonderful. All of it.
Tyler as McGonnagall - seriously what can't that man play?? He embodies her.
YOU GOTTA GO HOME, YOU GOTTA GO HOME - you know what I'm on about
Jeff Blim's vocals in Get in My Mouth. Also would recommend looking up Nick Strauss' cover from a Leaky Con in I think 2013. It's on YouTube and it's fucking incredible.
I Was and Tonight This School is Mine are both complete bangers and the fact that they're still audiably bangers even with the microphone issues says a lot. The fucking poetry in I was, and the fucking sass in ttsim
The many layers of Always Dance. The beautiful bit at the start with Dylan, then the fucking dance off between Voldemort and Lucius which is everything and finally the evil last verse when he's waltzing with Ginny
Sidekick.
Joey Richter's actual real ass human tears that he manages to squeeze out
Everything Ends continual ability to make me bawl like a baby. Goddam you Brosenthal why is your voice so good.
"I think we FOUND each other". It should be illegal for a line so funny to come in the middle of a scene so emotional. I distinctly remember when I watched it as a teenager having to pause to howl with laughter (tigerfucker and Santa Claus is going to high school are the only other scenes I remember having to do that for on first watch). Lilly divorcng James in heaven and remarrying Cedric is just an inspired concept
Evana Lynch smoking a fag - it was really cool that they became big enough to get an actual Harry potter actor in the show but just watching her smoking while washing blood off her hands made it so worth
The fact that AJs commitment to being in both the band and the cast means there are so many moments where the camera pans across and it's just oh look there's Gilderoy Lockhart just casually playing keyboard with Clark
The death day party scene - Ron and Lavenders date, Harry and Cho's date and then Seamus and Dean's double date with Ginny all 3 of them fucking hysterical. Also the bit with the ice sculpture and the roller skates
Brant Cox - he has like 5 lines in this play but they're the funniest 5 lines
All of the boo boos - most specifically 'fuck the tie' and 'a floating diary? Ah shit'
"sssssnake ssssnake I'm a snake where are my arms gone, only kidding I'm a ssssnake"
"sparkles, sparkles, I'm gay!" ~ Lord Voldemort
"I drew a majestic owl" - watching the SK10 livestreams and apparantly this comes from when they were doing a 24 hour story writing thing (a Hackathon for humanities students??) and Jim got bored really early on so spent most of the time drawing a realistic owl
And finally that it actually happened in the first place because I remember how initially it was going to be right after the sequel but then everything got thrown into disarray, and it kept getting pushed back. But thanks to us being absolute impatient assholes who commented 'give us threequel' every time they so much as breathed on social media we got it and it was wonderful!
no because “i think he knows” is such a happy song and i literally can’t help but dance when i hear it?
it’s official, my mind is melted. holy shit sarah, i can’t-
currently 22% of the way through HOSAB and my jaw has dropped at least four times already holy shit how is the legal
ahsoka: i’ve decided i’m planning a wedding.
rex: whose?
ahsoka: obi-wan and cody's.
anakin: they’re engaged?!
ahsoka: they will be.
I very briefly mentioned this in my ep 8 thoughts post the other day, but I'm interested in the framing of this shot.
(Image credit to @avathebestx)
The Batch are all very close together on one side of the frame, and Rex and Riyo are close on the other side. But then Echo is kind of floating in the middle. He's a little closer to the Batch but he's definitely more between the two than on one side.
Now this could mean one of two things:
1. It's symbolic of Echo moving over from the Batch to Rex while also showing that at the end of the day, no matter where he is, he will always be a part of both sides. The common thread between the two.
2. I am looking way too deeply into this and its not that important.
But that's my random thought! Do with it what you will!
It’s here. It’s yours, it’s mine, it’s ours. It’s an album I wrote alone about the whims, fantasies, heartaches, dramas and tragedies I lived out as a young woman between 18 and 20. I remember making tracklist after tracklist, obsessing over the right way to tell the story. I had to be ruthless with my choices, and I left behind some songs I am still unfailingly proud of now. Therefore, you have 6 From The Vault tracks! I recorded this album when I was 32 (and still growing up, now) and the memories it brought back filled me with nostalgia and appreciation. For life, for you, for the fact that I get to reclaim my work. Thank you a million times, for the memories that break our fall. 💥🐉🏰 Speak Now (MY VERSION!) is out now.

After this episode, all I want to talk about is Cody. He carries so much of all Obi-Wan with him.
He tried to negotiate with the governor and succeeded. Obi-Wan one would be so proud of him.
You could see the guilt he has over killing him.
" We make our own decisions. Our own choices. And we have to live with them."
His story is so full of tragedy and heartbreak. I know he probably won't find Obi-Wan, but I hope he finds Rex.
