okay i just want to open with, like, this whole comment made me So Happy. i feel like i made it! themes and philosophies, damn yessssss. just - thank you so much, it was such a great gift and analysis, all at once, i've been sneakily rereading it and smiling over it all this time.

it's interesting because i thought, consciously, of some of those things - i love the water imagery, for example; i love my last stands; i love the agnostical sense of there-is-something-after - and didn't of some other (letting go of self, right to die, right to live, all of this). i'm glad that there's a fandom that's of interest to you as a whole, too - i'm very tangentially connected to sw fandom, with very specific and narrow focus in it, and i'm tickled that you tracked this, like - entire philosophical swing in it. (and that milosz's quote, ahhhh).

in short - the death of author, sorta! because author did not put any intentional heideggery and scullduggery in, but is pleased to discover them there anyway ♥
