“Ari, I’m going to throw myself out the window. Will you be okay with that?”
I close my eyes so I can roll them in the safety of my own head before speaking my thought process aloud. “If you threw yourself out the window because of a suicide bomber and died, I would be upset. Especially if I didn’t know the reason. Knowing why helps me. And it would be worse if there was something I could have done to stop it and wasn’t able to. I wouldn’t join the Sith over it but if I didn’t deal with the guilt and maybe even if I did, there would be several meltdowns along the way and it might kick off a major depressive episode. It wouldn’t be from grief, though. That’s an … external factor.”

What does Araithana think of Jolee for a matter of fact what does Araithana think of Kreia if any records of them survived into prequal era I have been playing Kotor 1&2 while re reading GFFAMBCTTA and I just feel like their the type of jedi that Ari would have so many opinions on. If you have not play Kotor you can totally disregard this I just love your writing so much every time a interact with a new piece of Star Wars media I think of how Ari would react. The new chapter is great as someone who has had to do a lot of special ed/standardized testing it was super accurate.
<3 <3 <3 this is a SUCH fun ask that i spent some time considering (like, what ARE the sources that still exist in-universe? shortest answer: not a lot!). i haven't actually played either of the kotors, but i have spent extensive time with the tvtropes pages (also i like seeing the full galaxies acronym because it's so close to dna base pairs).
short answer:
ari would be SO. ANNOYED. by jolee bindo. clawing at the air, going 'WHY.' he DIDN'T EVEN MAKE IT PAST PADAWAN. HE says he was about to be knighted before he chose exile but i'm not sure how must weight i would give that. i lean toward it being a 'shit we need more jedi knights now that a bunch are dead' knighting, a post-geonosis knighting. the tvtropes page is 'he's an expy of obi-wan'. NO. he is NOT. he anakins too close to the sun 3.9 millennia before anakin. the only good thing is that he DOESN'T go evil.
kreia is probably ONLY known as darth traya and, thus, is on the list of 'would sidious have fanboyed enough that understanding her philosophies would be useful?'. also possibly on the 'if find holocron, destroy holocron' list (along with andeddu). ari definitely feels uneasy about the parallels the meetra surik & kreia relationship has with theirs with dooku.
long answer:
1) consider this, from the revan novel (only grudgingly accepted when accepted & often not at all):
the main kotor-era in-universe text is the revan mythologies by ilia orpin. there's one entry in the great holocron compared to the tales of the jedi era's three; the tedryn holocron has a record by bodo baas about the entirety of the second sith war; the asil krisman holocron mentions battles between jedi and sith but it's intended for younglings. of these three, the great holocron & the asil krisman holocron are nebulously currently canonical, given that props of them were made for attack of the clones, but not used. the revan mythologies were written at enough of a remove that there appeared to be no other sources on the material covered by them. that the reports on malachor v and other events of that era were filed by atris indicates that it's her viewpoint that all succeeding jedi would know and that her reports are likely the ones that the revan mythologies are based on. there IS the katarr adumbrature, from dooku: jedi lost, and since it's cavan scott, who also has some of his high republic-era characters swearing by meetra surik, i'm pretty confident that these texts are an after-the-fact assembly of what foreshadowed nihilus's visit.
2) fuck jolee bindo. jolee bindo is the source of so many of my annoyances in star wars fandom. where's that 'if you could remove one character from sw who would it be?' post? because jolee bindo is my answer to that. “””””grey””””” jedi MY ASS. nemesis to my serenity.
jolee bindo, a summary:
jolee bindo: i’m gonna do what i think is the right thing to do.
the high council: maybe DON’T undermine the jedi order in public by going rogue?
jolee bindo: i’m gonna marry this woman
the high council: how about no.
jolee bindo: i’m gonna train her personally
the high council: you’re not even knighted yet.
jolee bindo: bad news, she went evil & i couldn’t kill her because i love her too much.
the high council: yeah, that’s why we said no.
jolee bindo: so i finally killed her but only after she killed many jedi. man am i unlucky or what
the high council: now that you’ve seen how attachments fuck you up, including your attachment to your own ego in believing that you're right and we're wrong, we believe that you’ll never do this again and should have gained control over your emotions and yourself. like a jedi should.
the high council: so we’re knighting you.
jolee bindo: you’re so stupid.
jolee bindo: *fucks off to kashyyyk*
ari, learning this: *screams into hands because there are no corners in which to scream*
Scout and Whie have stolen my entire heart. Also, I feel that you all were not explicit enough about how much reading YDR feels like being repeatedly punched in the stomach.

The stereotype of the nerd girl taking her glasses off and suddenly she's beautiful, but in reverse. A cold tough mean office lady who glares at everyone until she gets glasses and suddenly becomes sweet, approachable and friendly since she no longer has a constant headache over not being able to fucking see, doesn't need to squint at everything, and actually remembers individual people by name now that she can tell them apart at all.
three minutes into mother mary and WOW that's really "literally using [taylor swift] reputation as a guide", with "definitely brought a lot of taylor swift to the table in terms of who mother mary was" on the line of underselling it. the line from 'look what you made me do' -> 'burial' is bright red and flashing. inspiration is one thing, but this is an uncomfortable level of knock-off.
also????? michaela cole, who's basically narrating the film??? ⸘⸘⸘IS THE NURSE FROM THE NATIONAL THEATRE LIVE: MEDEA‽‽‽ and it's definitely tickling that part of my brain.

There used to be chairs only at v few spots in the lab and they would always be there because in those spots the work required sitting down
Over the years we've gotten more chairs at more spots in the lab, and they're still always being moved around. I didn't understand why until I came back to work after having covid and being left with some post-covid symptoms. If i was not walking, I wanted to be sitting rather than standing. Any amount of sitting was better than any amount of standing. Everyone doing work in my lab is under 35
"Why?" said the other. "I don't see how that adds to our story or characterization in any way."
"We have a lot of subtly implied ideas and themes going on," the first one explained, "but we haven't explicitly signalled that we are in a story for mature audiences. The sooner we get it out of the way, the better."

oh shit danger causes force-sensitives that don't know they're force-sensitive to use it to protect themselves. any of those sub-threshold people could've been spooked enough into using it from order 66.

i love media that confidently spoils itself right from the start!!! i love when stories hold your hand, perhaps even look you in the eye, and gently say ‘this character is going to die. this relationship is doomed.’ but assure you that this is a tale worth hearing because it’s not about the what it’s about the how. yayyyy hehehe 💙
every time i start to feel cringe for being too deep in the hyperfixation i remember the intense depression i have waded through and have to remind myself that enjoyment is fleeting (so grab it with both hands), and life is for loving (so hold that love close), and if anyone thinks i’m cringe they must not be having a very good time (and i hope they can find a good time soon).
