(in/sp)

there's this element of ownership in vader's relationship with palpatine that really adds so much horror to rots for me. theres the "deal with the devil" aspect of it and people often discuss how ownership is cyclical for anakin but for me what makes it work so well is because it exists on so many levels that all coexist, you cant just boil it down to one layer. palpatine owns vader psychologically, because he is the only thing out there that vader is still capable of loving, he owns him personally because vader swore allegiance to him as his apprentice, he owns him as a state because vader is bound to the empire and the empire reserves the total control over the lives of its subject but my own humble opinion is that theyre wizards, it can and should go deeper than this. in the plagueis novel, plagueis encounters a rival apprentice called darth venamis that he fights, defeats and then keeps as a test subject (hes a fun guy) and ultimately because his meddling with death works best on force sensitive individuals, he manages to use him to figure out how to stop people from dying. once he does, kills venamis over and over again to polish that skill before finally letting him die. i know its a popular theory that palpatine sucked out padmes life force in rots to keep vader alive and i do love the dramatic irony of that but i dont think palpatine needed to even do that. its so much more grim. the thing keeping vader alive doesnt even need to be time stolen from his wife, the will of his boss is enough. theres sooo not enough delving into the mystic fuckery of it all because palpatine is not only an enthusiastic human rights violator, hes also an enthusiastic violator of all natural laws and thats a whole other layer to it because usually, the most that a person can do is harrass you in life. not palpatine tho, palpatine has the ability to harrass vader in death as well. the master apprentice contract was signed for an indeterminate amount of time, no ability to terminate and the "till death does us part" was scratched out because even death is sooo not parting this one. and i mean how normal can anyone be about a person who quite literally became your creator? replacing any other natural creator you might have had & rebuilding you around the singular purpose he has for you. like man, that just sucks. its not that vader owes palpatine his life. he doesnt owe it precisely because palpatine has already claimed it. and maybe it feels wrong to even exist because the force in gffa is self-correcting so any unnatural deviation would be under the constant pressure to erase itself but good thing that there is a guy who gets to sit above the force in the hierarchy and say "youre meant to be here because i say so and the purpose i am giving you is murder". essentially what im saying it, palpatine isnt just a person owning vader to vader, hes the only force of nature that doesnt violently recoil from his existence & it gives him the power to freely dictate everything what vader is

I am making my own minecraft movie

ok so i'm not actually making a movie. what i am doing is analysing minecraft and thinking about why i didn't like The minecraft movie, and what i was actually wanting out of a minecraft movie. and then like. writing an overview or something. a lot of my thoughts heavily reference the End Poem, and some things i've seen echoed around the community in the past decade or so in terms of minecraft lore.

if you have any thoughts please tell me. please please please. i wrote i think a whole essay on the worldbuilding and storytelling of minecraft in college i am rather passionate about it.

things i am thinking about so far:

-having the movie progression loosely follow the progression of updates 1.0-current. not Every feature has to be included, but just like, no seeing like, cornflowers in the beginning of the movie. i wanna start in that barren 1.0 wasteland of an overworld baybe.

-according to the update timeline as of 2025, we'd meet alex about midway through the movie. unsure of my thoughts on this, but it follows previous logic.

-we only see ONE pink sheep the whole movie. are those fuckers rare or what?

-no new characters that aren't in the game.

-the entire soundtrack is by C418 and Lena Raine. Definitely including some in game songs, but some new ones thrown in as well.

-the player is the freak, not the villagers. i personally am not a fan of the "there was a nuclear disaster that fucked up minecraft, and made the mobs and the villagers Like That." i've seen throughout minecraft fan theories over the years. I think that's too specific, too un-minecraft-y, and also. not a fan of the insinuations with the villagers. minecraft has no lore. at best it has soft worldbuilding- think studio ghibli. we don't really know why things are precisely the way they are, we just know they are, and we know a few rules. we know minecraft started out barren, and as the updates came and went (to be interpreted as either time passing, the player exploring further, or both), more and more life was seen in the world, more things were discovered, more things were fought, made, destroyed, learned. according to the End Poem, minecraft is a dream that the player enters. one could interpret that as us being an outsider- it would explain why no one else looks like us, plays like us. we are alone. minecraft is a lonely place. you see it when you compare yourself to the villagers, you hear it in the soundtrack. you are alone.

-get julian gough back to write a second short poem for the end of the movie, but this time pay him one billion dollars. by the end of the game, we'd achieved a high enough level to read the universe's thoughts, i think this time after the movie, and also after furthering ourselves in the long dream of life, we should have levelled up enough to hear the universe's thoughts ("Sometimes, through the noise of its thoughts, it hears the universe, yes." | this having audio also makes it more fitting for a movie).

I don't. actually know what the plot would be. obviously it needs to be minecraft-y, but it can't simply be the base game progression, can it? would that be too simple? i wouldn't want to rely entirely on nostalgia, it has to be an enjoyable movie regardless of it's association to minecraft.
