"Strength in the force on par with Lord Tenebrae"So I'm gonna yet again see how much I can give everyone all the details of the chapter in as few paragraphs as physically possible.
I'm not rating this any number between 1 and 10 out of 10So here's the minor detail about the chapter.

her claiming independence, and thats basically it.
Rey gives Aliana her gift prosthetic leg. They do cute couple shit.
Oh, and The First order has an idea of where the fuck Rey, Aliana and the Resistance are hiding because you know. A fuckton of ships all just warped in on top of a single planet all at once.
Also Aliana, Leia, and Holdo all have a discussion with Finn about the prospect of trying to get more force sensitives and training them, but the problem being they only have one "Master" and that's Aliana, which means Leia immediately drops the idea all together.
and now I'm going to dedicated the rest of the break down of chapter 31 to this.
In chapter 31. Aliana discovers the Force bond has been reopened. She also states she can not close it off again. Whats worth noting is that Lily has chosen to explain the mechanics of the bond; Rey and Kylo's powers go up conversely with each other. "They share a soul" is effectively what Aliana says. But of course inversely;
View attachment 1623510
So the irony of course is that even though the mechanics explicitly show that they both become more powerful because the other is training Rey is able to more actively use it because "training"
And there are moments in the 31st chapter that show that the very act of Kylo Ren practicing minute force skills in order to be able to do more precise things like "tie a string with the force" is causing Rey's powers to go fucking nuts "force lightning over loading power conduits" So I feel I am to infer that Lily wants us to believe the inverse is occuring when it comes to training.
And now to go on a tangent and maybe perhaps reveal a little more about myself than I should; sometimes I think about these breakdown posts well in advanced; I skimmed chapter 31 the moment I finished chapter 30 so I could get an idea of what I'll be forcing myelf through, and sometimes I think about how to make a witty joke about moments Iknow I will hate.
Furthermore: and mock me if you like but a guilty pleasure is I really like moviebobs movie revies and I kind of dig his view of Episode 7's "The plot is literally a metaphore for what its' like being made the star/director/producer/whatever of a legacy brand like star wars"
And I'm thinking abotu all these things, and Lily writing this story as a spite driven diss at the ReyLo demographic and how the force is written with an vague and ill-defined kind of sentience and it suddenly hits me.
Lily Orchard is depicting The Force itself as an omnipresent ReyLo Shipper.
The Force is wanting to push Rey and Kylo Ren into some sort of relationship in the hopes it will make Kylo Ren reform and stop being evil. This is how Lily views Reylo's. Rey is slowly developing a hatred for the force itself, because it ruins her autonomy and is trying to force her into a heterosexual relationship and she is a lesbian (even though we never once have any confirmation of her sexuality in canon, but I'm not here to try to validate that) and we all know Lily hates straight men the most of anyone. Lily hates the "enemies to lovers trope" and The Force is literally trying to push two people diametrically opposed in every sense of the word (in this version of the story anyway) into being together in some way.
The Force is literally "The ReyLo ship and shippers" presented as a literal force of nature.
is this a surprise? that yet another thing ties back to lily's desire to dunk on ReyLo's and Kylo Ren, and those two things alone? No. but it's boggling that lily is willing to go so far as to depict The Force itself as a metaphore in that vein
None of this should be surprising given we've seen how petty Lily has proven herself to be, and yet good god it's kind of amazing how dedicated she is to making sure you get how much she hates Kylo Ren. It drips out of the spine and every page of this "book"
it's just amazing how far she's willing to go with it.
I'm shocked how little there is to actually discuss in this chapter/10All of this.

Kylo Ren decided to carry through with Faking the return of Emperor Palpatine. here's my prediction for that; Kylo Ren manages to pull it off and make it look convincing. it makes everyone panic for all of a day before Aliana says something cool and convincing to make everyone feel better. something like "If Darth Sidious had returned, I would have felt it long before he anounced it." or something
Anakin Skywalkers force ghost shows up solely to say "You're right, I tried to talk to him, Ben is a lost cause, you have my permission and blessing to murder him" To Aliana.
Oh and also we find out Darth Vader killed Aliana's grandmother. Doubling down hard on the fact that Lily's only answer to make Aliana and her family interesting is to make it known that they clashed with the skywalkers multiple times through out the course of their respective histories. But yeah Aliana totally isn't a mary sue.
Lily's idea that Aliana's family being a line strong powerful warrior women is cool, right up until they do the stereotypical "Dying to motivate someone who loves them" thing that a lot of progressives tend to think is in fact (and I sort of agree with the idea) kind of yikes, and it is sort of hilarious that lily thinks this is a family that the Star Wars universe needs.
That's quite literally the whole chapter..
At this rate I bet I can summarize the final chapter as one sentence.
I mean if we're going to be real here Aliana's blood line hails back to Lana Beniko from the same mmo, so it's not worth getting surprised that lily's baseline for "good star wars" is giong to be an mmo that isn't canon or even referenced outside it's own series."Strength in the force on par with Lord Tenebrae"
Oh fuck off. Lord Tenebrae is the Sith Emperor of the Old Republic era, he is wanked into oblivion by the lore and is basically a God, one of the strongest force users in existence who ATE PLANETS faster that Darth Nihlus. His power is so mighty he corrupted jedi masters and even members of the jedi council using his darkness, his very essence caused multiple sith to go insane and become the Dread Masters that excelled in bending incredible force users to their will. Dude dominated the mind of Revan, a guy who is also wanked high in the lore. What I'm saying here is that Lilly has taken a character who is already ridiculous in how vast and bullshit his power (which he got from years of consuming life and dark rituals) is and has gone "And that's just the BASELINE power that Rey was BORN with and she'll get a shit-ton stronger"
Also, his name is Vitiate. Nobody would be calling him by his birth name (since he killed everyone on the planet he was born on), everyone knows him as either Vitiate or Valkorian, he had most certainly stopped being called Tenebrae by the time he was made a Lord.
That brings up another failure of her writing; Lore expectation. She drops a lot of lore references in this story without ever explaining them, so a lot of the audience who haven't engaged with much Star Wars outside of the movies get nothing from said scenes. Saying Rey is comparable to Vitiate means jack to someone who hasn't played the MMO. Starkiller being there means nothing to someone who hasn't played force unleashed. Name dropping Kreia like the audience should immediately understand how she connects to said scene means nothing to those who haven't played KOTOR 2.I mean if we're going to be real here Aliana's blood line hails back to Lana Beniko from the same mmo, so it's not worth getting surprised that lily's baseline for "good star wars" is giong to be an mmo that isn't canon or even referenced outside it's own series.
why mention a possibility of an incestuous lesbian relationship?So I'm gonna yet again see how much I can give everyone all the details of the chapter in as few paragraphs as physically possible.

At this rate I bet I can summarize the final chapter as one sentence.
Wasn’t the rule “If the intro is in English, serious and/or plot related stuff. If it’s in Japanese, goofy silly one-off”?Oh, fuck right off, Jerry. The original Teen Titans had a shitton of meaningful character development and plenty of serious/dark moments.
Hell, off the top of my head:
-There's an episode where Starfire gets shot two decades into the future and realizes that everything is fucked and the Titans have disbanded.
-There's an episode where Cyborg pushes past the physical limits of his body even though he himself thought he couldn't since his cyborg body supposedly had hard limits.
-Raven's father, a literal demon, comes to earth and pretty much jumpstarts the apocalypse. In fact, at the end of the episode (the first of a three-parter) Raven literally says "This is the end of the world."
-Beast Boy apparently goes berserk in an episode and seriously injures Raven, one of the strongest members of the team. Shit gets really heavy as the team tries to figure out what the hell happened (Robin even says that if Beast Boy can't explain himself he'll have to assume the worst and put him in jail)
-Robin willingly infects himself with a probe developed by Slade in order to save the team ("New deal, Slade. If I lose my friends, you lose your apprentice. And I know how much you hate to lose.")
-Side character Terra ends up betraying the Titans to work with Slade, but after the titans beat her and Beast Boy berates her for backstabbing them, she ends up sacrificing herself to save the city.
But sure, Jerry. "The original was never serious as the toxic fans make it out to be." Fucking christ.
Yes. The Japanese theme usually meant you were getting a fun, lighthearted filler episode. The English theme was used for the more serious episodes.Wasn’t the rule “If the intro is in English, serious and/or plot related stuff. If it’s in Japanese, goofy silly one-off”?
I mean first of all, this isn't even incest. The ages I think the characters were at at the time would be old enough that they would probably fall into 'childhood friends' territory, which now that I think about it makes this whole conversation baffling. Lily loves the 'childhood friends to romantic partners' trope and bitches and whines when it's right there and people prefer things like 'enemies to lovers', but she has it right there and is instead focusing on having a conversation about what it would be like if Rey and Aliana were actually into incest... and then has them call it a 'romantic' conversation."I was clearly attached to you right from the start, and we're both too into women to at least not think about it if we grew up together."
I don't know anybody else but the thing that convinces me about a relationship is when the people involved actively tell each other they're compatible and perfect. I sure am glad I don't have to make inferences from their interactions or dialogue."Another reason we work so well together."
All of her ships are far more off putting than Ashoka and Anakin. At least that one doesn't involve grooming.
Lily is in no position to talk about off putting ships when her tumblr is infested with that gross comic of her self insert being in love with an abusive Gardevoir.
Rule of thumb for hack critics: Ignore things that don't suit your argument. Accentuate the negatives, downplay the positives.
As someone who thinks Teen Titans is a bit overrated, that is one of the worst takes I've seen on the show. Like, did she just skip the episode where they talk about racism or Raven facing her fears after watching a scary movie? Or the one where Beast Boy found out his girlfriend was working with Slade to betray him? Heck, that's not including the one where Beast Boy becomes a raging feral animal after getting doused with lab chemicals. I can go all day with this one.
The only progressive move is to push against interracial relations.https://archive.fo/7qR5w
I am aware that hating white people is the SJW thing, but going on a conspiracy theory that darker-skinned black female are slowly being "erased" with biracial females will not have an adequate or moral conclusion
what do they want, discriminate against light skin color, accuse them for not being black enough, put "blackness" in a spectrum to segregate those who are not "pure", deny them jobs because of their races?
take a step back, breathe, and think more than twice or more than a few seconds before saying shit you can't delete
