Despite the pause screen on YouTube being absolutely perfect for this exact moment, I want to share with y’all NewRockstars being hilariously awesome as always. Eric Voss narrates:

“… Then after going back and forth with Layla, Steven finally makes his move, and it is ✨awkward✨. -

[Layla] “I’m going to go down first.” / [Steven] “…Okay!” / [Layla] “…Before I belay.”

- Yes, Steven totally misinterpreted “down” to be, uh, not “belay”, but, y’know, another kind of “down”, uh, the sex kind.”

Uh, Steven, my man, your mind was positively in the gutter 😂

These two are the absolute worst offenders when it comes to reviewing/breaking down media made for and geared towards women. Especially Agatha All Along.

Like, STFU. Start using your brain when it comes to the obvious, actually do your research, and stop pulling stupid theories out of your ass FFS. 😒🤦🏻‍♀️

The details I caught that weren't addressed by this New Rockstars video (which probably means they aren't worth mentioning, because Eric Voss does waaaaaaay more homework than I do):

Sol discovers the twins under the bunta tree, but only Mae uses the Thread/Force while he's watching them.

When Sol sneaks into the witches' fortress, he spies on Aniseya's "The power of one, the power of two" lesson, but again Mae is the only twin he witnesses using the Thread/Force.

When the Jedi interrupt the Ascension ceremony and demand that the twins be tested to measure their Padawan potential, Aniseya says, "The scouts will bring Osha to your camp at midday" and Sol insists, "Both girls. Her sister, too." (Interestingly, Sol's lines are included in "Destiny" but not in "Choice." If "Destiny" is Osha's recollection of those events, why does she remember Sol wanting to test Mae, while "Choice," being the events from the Jedi point of view, leaves that part out?)

So when and why does Sol become so fixated on making Osha his Padawan? She could be a Muggle,* for all he knows about her! Did he just pick the twin who seemed more vulnerable/malleable/receptive? Was his insistence on testing Mae a smokescreen, or was he genuinely concerned for/interested in both girls? Are these clues or just sloppy writing?
