On the anniversary of his death we remember Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., a brilliant orator and hero who dedicated his life to the fight for civil rights. Celebrate Dr. King’s legacy by learning how six bold women were influenced by his actions, driving change and making history in their own right.

PERSON WHO’S ABOUT TO INVENT FICTIONAL PODCASTS: oh, you haven’t heard?
What she says: I’m fine.
What she means: I understand the Chronicles of Narnia was at its heart a fairytale with theological analogies for children. But why did Lewis never address how they had to adapted to life on Earth again. Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth and be children. Take Lucy, she was youngest and perhaps she adapted more quickly-but she had the memories and mind of a grown woman in an adolescent body. Edmund literally found himself in Narnia, he went from a selfish boy to mature and experienced man. He found a purpose and identity through his experiences to come back as just Edmund, Peter’s younger brother. Did people wonder why the sullen, sour boy came back, carrying himself like a wisened king? Did his mother wonder why he and Peter suddenly got along so well, why they spent so much time together now? And Susan, the girl of logistics and reason came back with a difference in her. She learned how to be a diplomat and ambassador, Susan the Gentle had to live to endure not-so-gentle circumstances. She had the respect she wanted, only to be just another teen girl. And Peter, he entered the manhood and maturity he so wanted. He earned the responsibility and stripes he yearned for. He learned to command armies and conduct the menial tasks demanded of a king to rule a nation. But he came back, appearing to be just anther glory-hungry boy. Not to mention the PTSD they must have struggled with. Especially Edmund. How often did he wake up in a sweat, screaming a sibling or comrade’s name? His parents believe it’s the war, but it’s an entirely different one he has nightmares about. How often did he have trouble with flashbacks and mood swings? And how many times did he and Peter sit over a newspaper or near the radio listening to reports on the troops. How often did they pour over lost battles and debate better strategies. Did their parents ever wonder why they seemed to understand flight war so well? How long was it before they stopped discussing these things in front of people? Why does no one talk about this???
Why am i fucking crying
Why does no one talk about how the Pevensies had to grow up with a
kingdom of responsibilities on their shoulders, only to return to Earth
and be childrenIt’s not addressed because it’s understood. It was the shared experience of the generation. You are describing coming home from World War One, battle wearied and aged beyond belief, but walking around in the body of a youth. C S Lewis went to the front line of the Somme on his nineteenth birthday and went back to complete uni in 1918 after demob.
Not seen it with this very very pertinent addition before
Listen, the Exploring/Looking For Bounty Leads/Talking To Lots Of People montages are some of my favorite parts not just in Cowboy Bebop but anime/tv/film in general – they’re always so well-done and the interactions/story progression are so clear despite no dialogue, with gorgeously-drawn city backgrounds and diverse AF people, any of whom look interesting enough to have an episode to themselves. (The time they do this with space truckers is a freaking standout, as is the opening credits to the movie, set to the absolute jam of a song, Ask DNA.)
Just – Cowboy Bebop was Really Freaking Good on so many levels and I miss it every day.
Like i said before:
one of the reasons i still love Cowboy Bebop so much is because it takes the “used future” look to such an extreme. There’s scenes on Mars that you’d assume were in some lonely southwestern town if you didn’t know otherwise, spaceship interiors that are stained and worn and feel more like the deck of an old fishing boat, space “truckers” whose cockpits are overloaded with gewgaws and souvenirs. Colonies still look very Earthly, because Earthlings didn’t abandon their heritage just because there was new technology available. There are places where brick and mortar buildings are practical and cheap, so you see stone and stucco rather than gleaming arcologies. For the most part, it’s a very industrial, blue collar future; even Spike’s bright red Swordfish II personal fightercraft has more of the feel of something a backwoods tinkerer might occasionally pull out of storage—a former racing vehicle repurposed in ways that probably aren’t wholly legal. Jet’s Hammer Head is alien and strange, yet at the same time calls to mind both older automobiles (with its prominent forward section) and more industrial vehicles with its large towing arm, all brought together by its thoroughly scuffed surface.
some other settings do a bit of this, but none so totally as Bebop. We don’t see things that are fancy and futuristic for the sake of being impressive, but because they make sense in context. The Bebop itself isn’t some super-spacious vessel with room to spare (thinking of a lot of the interior shots of the Serenity in Firefly, here), it’s kind of cramped and uncomfortable, dingy and dark, with a few small personal spaces. It feels small, in contrast to the vastness of space.
