Okay but don’t think about Kraglin taking a ship on a meandering journey through the black, picking up the bodies of the loyal crewmen who were spaced (the bodies of his friends) and making sure each and every one of them has proper Ravager death rites. Don’t think about that.
Hey sweetie I know you’re on holiday and all but fuk u
Especially don’t think about how he’s sending Yondu the most loyal crew to have in the afterlife to sail their ships in the Aetherafter
Gonna have a hell of a time sailing without his First though. The position is left open in the ghostly ranks until Kraglin rejoins them.fuk u too bb (with love)

“Volume 1 and Volume 2 have been Meredith’s song choices, her communication to Peter,” [Gunn] explained. “In Volume 3, the song choices will be Yondu communicating to Peter.”

Baze Malbus cradled the last true Guardian of the Whills in his arms and answered Chirrut’s dying words. “The Force is with me,” Baze said. “And I am one with the Force.”
A flare rose in the distance. Something was burning on landing pad nine. In all likelihood, Bodhi Rook, too, was gone.
Gone before he had ever sent his message? Gone, and rendering Chirrut’s sacrifice pointless?
Once again, the Empire had stolen meaning from Baze. He might have screamed if not for the man he held.
“The Force is with me,” he repeated. “And I am with the Force.”
Did he believe the words? Did it matter? Had it ever mattered?

Okay, so, background: I’ve been rereading Les Mis for the first time in about ten years. Ten years ago, I didn’t read French well enough to be able to consult the French text online, and I also had very naive and unformed ideas about things like faith, patriotism, and death. So this is quite a different experience, and I have been collecting a lot of thoughts.
One particular thing that interested me, and that I haven’t seen previously discussed (although for all I know it may have been, in fact probably has been) is the idea of Grantaire as a kind of virtuous pagan. This struck me quite forcefully.
this i think has a major taste in it of why grantaire as a character is so goddamn popular and why so many people can relate to him — that remark at the end about this generation not being shown orthopraxy and therefore having difficulty with orthodoxy.
many of us are searching for the kind of unity of thought and action that enjolras symbolically embodies and that’s why we idolize him, often in the way that grantaire does. we love grantaire because we see pieces of ourselves in him, and we love enjolras because grantaire does — or for the same reasons that grantaire does. enjolras is what we hope is “the right,” embodied arete, embodied beauty and goodness and power all at once. he is at once moral and at odds with traditional morality, he is progress pressed through the lens of the classical hero, he is the pietas of aeneas mixed with achilles’s furor.
grantaire focuses on thought, gets lost in thought, and cannot believe in anything because he doesn’t know how to connect it to action until enjolras and until he sees enjolras about to make his ultimate sacrifice. grantaire sees, grantaire is transfigured, and he can act. he can at last access right action because he doesn’t have to think about anything anymore.
you don’t have to believe in democracy and liberty when the person you care about most in this world, the person to whom you have attached yourself as though to a backbone, is about to die for it. love overcomes all, and you can choose to act and die at that person’s side.
it call comes down to love spurring right action. from the bishop’s generalized love of mankind redeeming valjean with kindness to grantaire’s personal love for enjolras allowing him to act and choose to die with him, love is what creates the right.
guys i’m having an emotion about grantaire again
i blame that post going around with the thing
but like, can we talk about how incredibly important it is that grantaire dies loved? because i think that that’s really incredibly important, like important enough i might start crying
because hugo’s thing has always been about how important and wonderful love is and how it can transfigure people into something much more wonderful and transcendent and amazing and you look at enjolras, who is so beautiful because he loves so brilliantly and powerfully and unflinchingly, and he is loved, he’s beautiful because he loves and is loved, there is so much love and a fair portion fo it comes from grantaire
can you imagine how beautiful they were when they faced down the guard? when they both were loving and loved? even with everything else gone, they’re loving each other and they know now
it’s transparent now, that they love each other and they must absolutely glow in that moment.
i’m sorry i’m just having feels again i’m sorry i’m sorry
