Thrawn and Politics

Look, Thrawn is bad at politics. Yes, he’s a genius at military tactics and reading his opponents, but that doesn’t automatically translate to a new field!

For one, his reading of people’s body language is clearly practiced, not natural – in Thrawn (2017), he notes changes in muscle, expression, and body heat before determining emotions; someone who notes this naturally would note the emotion first, and might even struggle to describe how they could tell (much like Thrawn struggles to describe what he sees in art!).

He’s also tactless and blunt – he straight up compares the head of the ISB to his AIDE, mostly unfavorably! He might just want people to improve, but doesn’t seem to notice how his words can come off as condescending or rude.

Most importantly, politics rely on a completely different priority system, one that, honestly? Doesn’t make logical sense. And Thrawn thrives on logic and practicality!

Politicians (especially in the GFFA) are generally known for putting their personal goals first – or at least equal to – the good of the whole. We see this in both the Empire and in the Ascendancy (where they put individual families first). This breeds a network of under-the-table deals, games, and power shifting that Thrawn is completely blind to.

(This got a bit long…)

A wonderful blooper from “The Trouble with Tribbles”— the camera is solely on Leonard for Spock’s reactions while the rest of the unseen cast (Kirk, Scotty, McCoy) say their lines and fake laugh.

This is just as funny with the sound off.

I am, of course, very grateful for any attention anyone gives me! 😬 so THANK YOU SO MUCH to these mutuals who continue to support me in all of my very random endeavors!!!

I see you and you all are wonderful !

You know, I don’t think I’ve seen any fandom hate the target of their fanning like the Thrawn fandom. And I don’t mean comments like “you magnificent bastard, you!” (because if there’s anyone deserving of the moniker, it’s Thrawn, lol) I mean things like “he’s an arrogant piece of crap and deserves to be mocked” or “I hope Filoni humiliates him” or “he’s a moron and I hate him.”

I think part of what’s happening is that he’s a morally complex character in a time where moral nuance is deeply unpopular. People see the world in terms of heroes and villains. Good and evil. Luke Skywalker and Emperor Palpatine. There’s no space for someone who isn’t exactly good but isn’t entirely evil, either (which is not only more reflective of how human beings actually work, but was the entire POINT of Thrawn in the first place, lol). He works for the empire? He’s evil. 100%. His reasons for doing what he does don’t matter, he’s scum.

That and people really just don’t “get” him. It makes sense—within Jungian typology he’s the archetypal INTJ, leading with subjective, seeminingly mystical and otherworldly visions/ideals only he understands; he uses impersonal and unfeeling logic as his main tool; he refuses or is unable to understand/acquiesce to societal pressure; and his emotions, motives, and values are very private. I suppose it’s no surprise, then, that fans gravitate toward conventional, familiar, “safe,” ISTJ Everyman characters like Eli and Samakro. Even if they share Thrawn’s values, even if they ALSO work for authoritarian regimes, the ever-important S groundedness is going to make their motives make more “sense” to most readers (hence their placement as audience surrogates).

And lastly there’s also the assertion that he’s “just a male power fantasy” for “obnoxious nerds,” as though there aren’t women (like myself) who find him inspiring, too.

Thank you

In honor of Thrawnezra week (March 7th-13th, mark your calendars lol) I made a playlist, dedicating a song to each person who has reached out or touched my artistic life in some way, especially through the tough times when anti’s seemed to get me down. When I think of all the people who reached out with love and support versus anti’s hate, the lists don’t even compare! I hope you enjoy the song I picked for you (if you don’t it just means we need to get to know each other more).
