Some of my favourite julien photos in honour of her birthday 🫶 (happy birthday jb)
Just had to remind myself once again that tanthamore is really canon and I'm not just making them up
hi! i love your contrapuntal poems so so much, and i was wondering if you had any advice on how you write them? like what your process is like and how you match them up!
- @cowboy-heart
Hey there! Okay, in my experience, writing two poems and then trying to match them up so that it makes a third one is almost impossible. What I do instead is this:
I write one poem (usually the left side, for some reason), so it looks like this
And THEN I start to write both the second and third poems and the same time
From here ^^ you start to write it diagonally, I guess? Every time you add a line to the right side, it has to make sense both vertically in the second poem by itself, and horizontally in the third poem.
This version of the left side is what I consider to be the "raw" version- all of the line breaks are completely arbitrary
- don't be constrained by these line breaks! make your own! see the difference i made between the first picture and the second picture? "he is our brother;" works better with "he never let me play alone."
Pro tip: semicolons are your FRIENDS because they can act like commas or periods
ta-da! does this make sense?
try it! tag me! enjoy!
so while i was surprised that mae is already like 'y'know what, i'm good actually' about killing the remaining two jedi (not that i can blame her! i too would not want to kill a wookie w/o a weapon), it also makes sense.
mae's obsessed with osha. it's giving cassandra nova with professor x, specifically as to how for mae, the only other 'real' person in the galaxy is osha. no one else exists. their family, their coven, is long dead. nothing else matters. mae will have her sister in any way that she can - something that she felt so strongly that even as a child, she was prepared to kill osha so she couldn't leave her.
so now that mae knows osha is alive, osha is all that matters - being with her, being near her, being one with her - that's all she cares about. the sith, the jedi, none of that is real.
and it's a fun twist! usually when the villain decides not to continue doing their villain tasks, it's because the main character redeemed them - or that they made a choice to atone. but for mae, it doesn't have anything to do with good or evil. she isn't choosing to become better - by no longer pursuing the jedi, she's actually doubling down on her violent, possessive obsession with her sister. this isn't anakin deciding to save luke and betray the emperor - mae isn't trying to save osha or anyone else really from her master. it's about control - it's about picking back up where they left off when they were children.
it's just osha and mae. mae and osha. always one, but born as two.

#if i had a nickel for every time something like this happened in star wars, i'd have two nickels, which is not a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
