They over shot their mini storm and made it a whole ass hurricane
Jedi Temple Guard in season 5 by Carlos Sanchez
People be all like; it’s Rey’s lightsaber. It’s Luke’s lightsaber. It’s Maz’s lightsaber.
I can’t say that I particularly care a ton in this specific case but honestly, things would be so much easier if characters just… made their own sabers. And it would be easier if they really leaned into that while kyber semi-sentience/choosing stuff.
I don’t know many people who said Anakin’s lightsaber was Luke’s saber. As far as I know, it was considered he was using/had his fathers saber. Other Jedi carried around others’ sabers as well. Obi-Wan used Qui-Gon’s for quite some time before he went and made his own again. Cal Kestis carried around his own masters saber for, like, five years. If I remember correctly, I think it was Kit Fisto (maybe it was someone else, not entirely sure) he carried around his deceased padawan’s saber. This appears to be a fairly common practice.
I don’t care a whole lot, although I feel especially with lightsabers, it’s really the creator’s saber, whether or not someone else uses it for any amount of time. And honestly, you can call it Rey’s saber or Luke’s saber or whatever but I think, generally speaking, the saber will always be the builder’s saber. The one who bonded with the kyber inside. The one who made it.
Honestly, I’d rather have a character bond with their own kyber crystal and make their own saber, than using someone else’s/having it passed down and claiming it as their own.
But that’s just my thought on the matter.
toxic husbands (they’re waiting for ahsoka to come pick them up for bingo)
you know what i need??? more myth and superstition in scifi.
give me starship captains like the sailors of old, weathered and wary of the vast beast that is deep space, who religiously keep their own personal traditions and rituals to appease her and guide their ships safely through her vast depths.
give me wide-eyed ensigns eagerly drinking in tales of great creatures of the void, space whales and other more malevolent leviathans, dismissed as tall tales by more cynical cadets who only trust the sense of their own eyes.
give me whispered accounts of ghost vessels, lost long ago in great battles across the universe, populated by a literal skeleton crew.
give me a space bermuda triangle.
give me a universe as cold and unfathomable as the ocean, and no less mysterious and forboding.
Can’t stop thinking about them
Force Translator Cody au
Hes still as force sensitive as a brick but hes been around so many jedi, Specifically Obi-wan "i have a bad feeling" Kenobi that he just, figures out what the Force is tryin to say with his cool collected strategic slut mind on his own
In short, Cody voice: the Force works in misterious ways to YOU, i get it tho
now here i am, thinking about the force talking to cody's cool collected strategic slut mind like it's the australien sea turtle in finding nemo
cody's not force-sensitive. like NOT AT ALL, not even one (1) midichlorian per million. zip nada nothing
he just meditates with obi-wan on a regular basis and ends up absorbing some force radiation that basically makes him a radio station that can tune into the force's daily commentary
it all starts on a mission where cody and obi-wan enter a really creepy cave and it's just really creepy and dark and suddenly there's this off-voice telling cody that the vibes are rancid
obi-wan then proceeds to say that the vibes feel rancid
and cody just looks at obi-wan like ??? uhm hello what the fuck and obi-wan doesn't have a single idea why his commander suddenly looks like a confused pineapple
meanwhile the force is going feral because this funky little commander apparently has the right receiving frequency to hear its ramblings while all the jedi in fact do NOT
everyone only feels the force. no one ever talks to the force. the force is bored. so of course it doesn't intend to leave cody alone e v e r
obi-wan, to cody, smiling: remember, the force will be with you. always
cody, who already listened to the force rambling about the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise for the past two hours, eye twitching:
anakin looks all mysterious and knowing while saying that there's a disturbance in the force and cody just stands right next to him, hearing the high-pitched fire siren-like screaming of the force in the background while trying to look like his eardrum didn't just get perforated
whenever cody notices that obi-wan and the other jedi aren't sleeping well because of some weird force shit, cody asks the force to keep it down for a while so that they can at least rest for a couple of hours. obi-wan is confused about the amount of sleep he gets all of the sudden
anakin wakes up and says he just had a vision. cody asks the force if anakin, in fact, just had a vision. the force says no
ahsoka, after something very weird happened: the force works in mysterious ways
the force, to cody, very disturbed: that wasn't me
everyone basically talks about the force as this ancient powerful energy field in a very earnest and serious way while cody passes the senate building and hears the force calling palpatine a nasty little apricot
"IG: Favorite mentorship on ina11"
I mean... I'm weak for "mentor that is kinda like a parent for the mc" and yeah, we all know Kageyama was an antagonist in all the OG seasons and Kidou had a big internal conflict about it but that is what make it interesting for me. Also the fact that Kidou is Kageyama's soft spot and Kidou keep referring to him as Commander after his death and in Galaxy.
Fictober 2021 -- Day 6
One of these nights, Xaja was going to get a full night of restful, uninterrupted sleep. Tonight was not that night, she mused as she gifted Valkorion a scowl.
“Glare all that you like, Jedi,” the former Emperor sneered as he continued to pace around her brain. “It changes nothing. You must be strong enough to defeat my children, and you will only reach that with my help–”
“Yes, yes, I know how this goes,” Xaja sighed. “You drone on about how I apparently need you to kick Arcann’s miserable cyborg ass out of the known galaxy, I point out that I killed your last two meatsuits without any Sithly intervention, you mutter about Jedi wretches and liken my abilities to a child with a lucky streak. Didn’t we already have this conversation?”
“You aren’t even a child with a lucky streak,” Valkorion retorted. “Compared to me, you are barely an embryo.”
“And compared to me, you’re old enough to be a Rakata. Ancient, outdated, and overdue for extinction.”
“Impertinent brat,” growled the dead Sith. “You would not be so flippant if you knew the powers that I yet possess, even while trapped in your head.”
“Yeah, the same ones that saved you from me twice already? I have yet to be impressed.”
“And how do you think to free yourself of me when you can hardly stab yourself with one of your lightsabers?” Valkorion chuckled cruelly. “You are bound to me, Jedi.”
“Eww.” Xaja made a face; immature though her reaction was, she was gratified to see Valkorion roll his eyes. “I’ll figure out a way to get you out of my head, and then I’m throwing your miserable spirit into a black hole.”
“I’m curious to see how you’ll achieve that.”
“Through sheer fucking spite.”
“Petty as well as impertinent, and ungrateful. Or have you forgotten how you survived Arcann’s lightsaber?”
“Again – spite.”
“I am many things. The embodiment of ‘spite’ is not one of them.”
“No, ‘embodiment’ would require you to have a body. Mine definitely doesn’t count.”
Valkorion scowled. “I should have let you die on Asylum, Jedi. If only there were another option in the galaxy with anywhere near the strength to defeat my children.”
“Yeah, well, there isn’t. And I still don’t need your help in dealing with your spawn.” Xaja turned her back on Valkorion and imagined herself closing her eyes, banishing the old bastard from her mind. “Now piss off.”
“You will live to regret that,” Valkorion warned as he finally faded into nothingness.
Roll her eyes though Xaja might, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the deranged old lunatic was plotting something. Shuddering, she opened her eyes to the darkness of her and Theron’s quarters on Odessen, feeling the reassuring weight of her boyfriend’s arm over her stomach and his breath tickling her shoulder. With Theron there, it was easier to close her eyes again and slowly drift off into sleep, although one part of her mind always stayed vigilant, watching for any signs of Valkorion intruding in her dreams again.
IS HONDO IN YOU SQUAD AU??! There would be even more chaos!
i haven't gotten that fair yet for the full story but he definitely has his appearances.
ahsoka & maul have known him before, barriss only knows about him in talks and ventress has no fucking clue about him - she's not impressed.
when he see's ahsoka he's so surprised "your alive! thank goodness!" and even hug her, ahsoka is too much in shock to see him still alive in the empire era.
"we haven't seen each other in so long! tell me, when was our last meeting?"
"when you tired to sell me dead or alive,"
cue maul drawing his saber at the pirate, barriss in shock and ventress just glares, but both kill him if need be.
he casually flirts with the girls with ticks them off, and when he moves onto ahsoka maul GROWLS and he backs away awkwardly and moves on.
they talk things out (they still don't trust him but get along in some ways) and he exchanges them information without any kind of payment (thanks to maul's & ventress's threats).
i have thought of a scene where it's just ahsoka & hondo, sitting alone after an attack by darth vader - it's silent and ahsoka says, in such a quiet and tired voice, that it's anakin. hondo is shocked but leans back heavily in his seat " oh no...that poor boy..." and ahsoka just tears up, and for a rare moment, hondo is genuinely comforting her (a hug, rubs on her back and quiet "sssh"s). it's heartbreaking cause yay angst!
also: rex does NOT get along with hondo at all - doesn't like him and would rather keep far away from hondo as possible.
How do we feel about time-travel fics where teenage Ahsoka crashes the Kenobi-Jinn Mandalore mission and, while Obi-Wan is having weird courtly love pining nonsense with Satine, Ahsoka herself has managed to hook up with Bo-Katan.
It was supposed to be an undercover thing where Ahsoka hunted out Death Watch! It’s not like they did more than make-out in a corner between training sessions. Mostly they got into really aggressive sparring flirtation and then had to be pulled apart by Pre!
Just. You know. Once Ahsoka leaves Mandalore and goes back to the Jedi she keeps getting weird, love-lorn letters and violent gifts, because apparently, saying she hates slavery and had a bad experience with the Queen of Zygerria in particular means getting a head in a box in the mail, because when Bo likes someone, she flirts via regicide.
19yo Pre is 17yo Bo’s unwilling accomplice in seducing a Jedi.
Ahsoka’s busy getting teased by Quinlan Vos and Garen Muln. This only gets put on hold when the gifts go from “cool knife” to “literal head of a head of state,” and the Temple has to deal with that. It’s not a fun time.
Obi-Wan would join in on the teasing, except, well, Satine.
Qui-Gon is a little disappointed in both of them but he accepts that, in an absurd way, Ahsoka’s admirer is assassinating her way to a better galaxy, so maybe the Force did will this.
Me poking at my various AUs: yet another Ahsoka time-travel fic, this time Jango/Ahsoka/Quinlan
(One of these boys is the rocket launcher on her shoulder, and the other is the stiletto in her boot. Both of them are arm candy.)
Question: Who wants a stupid AU idea?
Answer: Presumably you, since you're on my blog and that's about the only thing I write.
This AU contains references to sexual activity and not-quite-cannibalism, as well as attempted child murder (Obi-Wan's canon early padawanship)
So you know all those "Stewjoni are valued as sex slaves because they're dual sex and possibly mild empaths" AUs?
I want "Stewjoni are carnivorous species who are very attractive human-seeming individuals, but specifically as a hunting mechanism to draw in and trick prey, like mimic spiders."
(Someone on discord said 'like succubi?' and no. Nope. Succubi fuck to death. They gain energy from the act of sex. Stewjoni just fucking eat people.)
(Well, not anymore. It's impolite.)
(They have animal alternatives now.)
Obi-Wan is a very, very attractive man and all those things about his genitalia and sexual proficiency are true! But try to enslave a Stewjoni at your own peril, they're more disarming then a Zeltron and, unlike the Zeltron, their first instinct will be to eat you.
Does he eat people? Well, not usually! There are some close calls on Bandomeer and Melida/Daan, but he's not old enough to really be at full sexy yet, and "cute enough that nobody will hurt me because I'm baby" doesn't work on Xanatos (because darksider) or the Melida/Daan adults (because they're already killing so many kids).
He comes very, very close on Rattatak.
I want to say he rips someone's throat out with his teeth while undercover as Hardeen and Dooku is just very ?????????? about it. He thought this was undercover Kenobi but now he's not so sure because Kenobi would never be so uncivilized, right?
(It does put a different spin on him threatening to eat that shark dude.)
Anakin: You don't know what it's like to struggle with the Dark, Obi-Wan! Obi-Wan: Every time I have sex my hindbrain is whispering to me that I should eat my partner. It's not the same thing, but I can relate on it a bit.
Obi-Wan: My natural prey is humans. Anakin: ...what. [some time later] Ahsoka: I'm a carnivore! Obi-Wan: Ah, you're in good company. Ahsoka: ...? Anakin: He eats people. Obi-Wan: I MOST CERTAINLY DO NOT.
Obi-Wan: I am naturally inclined to eat people but I have never in my life done so on account of having been taught the innate value of life, and particularly that of a sapient beings, since toddlerhood. Anakin: I remember you ripping a man's face open with your teeth and eating the flesh you tore off as a power play when I was fifteen. Obi-Wan: I WAS IN HANDCUFFS AND HE WAS TRYING TO KILL YOU.
(Anakin 100% did not know that Obi-Wan wasn't human when Obi-Wan bit the dude's face off.)
Gelpenss: Obi-Wan very much wants to eat humanoids and unfortunately they ping his brain BEFORE the alternatives. He has NO innate dissuasion at the thought of eating human.
Atagotiak: Like, Anakin had realized Obi-Wan is more carnivorous than the baseline human, but... this is new. Anakin: Why didn't you tell me before? Obi-Wan: You were tiny! And Anxious! I didn't want you to think I might eat you!
I have no idea if Obi-Wan managed to distract Maul with the sexy. I assume he tried but did not succeed, just because that would be too much power, but it would be very funny if he did. Probably failed, though, and Qui-Gon's still dead. 😔
Qui-Gon insisted on Obi-Wan doing lots of meditation on the innate value of life throughout the entire padawancy.
For the fairytale tropes: tricking a knowledge spirit. That just screams Jaster
“I will not help you find anything that is not already yours,” the spirit warns, and it’s a sharp thing, a threat.
Jaster doesn’t let himself be moved. “It is mine,” he says, and it’s more or less true—the Darksaber is his by right, by tradition, even if Tor is the one who holds it right now. Seeking out a Jedi, a being purely of the Force, is a risk, will test his ability to obfuscate, but to bring the Mandalorians together and end the civil war, it’s worth it.
The Zabrak stares at him for another long moment, then inclines his head. His body shimmers, and the unearthly blue bleeds away as he steps out of his Temple, approaches the edge of the stairs. Ghostly light becomes tan robes, dark skin, long black hair, and he steps out of the nexus of the Force where all Jedi live and into the real world.
“If it is yours, how was it taken from you?” he asks, and Jaster smiles.
“It’s an heirloom, and it was stolen long ago,” he says, precisely the truth. It simply wasn’t stolen from him. Tarre's descendants stole it from a Jedi Temple, long before the Jedi retreated fully into the Force.
The Jedi weighs his words for another moment, apparently finds truthfulness in them, and starts down the steps. Jaster falls in with him, trying not to stare, and asks, “You’ll help me retrieve it, then?”
“Your words are the truth,” the man says bluntly. “And in return, you have my word. I will remain until it is in your hands once more.”
Jaster doesn’t smirk, because that’s unbecoming, but he grins a little more widely than is likely seemly. “Thank you. I'm Jaster.”
“Agen,” the Jedi returns. “What was stolen from you, that you would go so far to retrieve it?”
“The Darksaber,” Jaster says, and now that he has Agen's word he doesn’t hesitate to admit it.
Agen stops dead, staring, and Jaster takes two more steps before he stops, turns, looks back. He raises a brow, still smiling, and says, “I never lied. Your word holds.”
There's a long, breathless moment, and then Agen snorts, amusement rising in his face. “You're correct,” he says. “My word is my bond, even now. You are clever with your words, Jaster Mereel.”
“And you are as quick as you are lovely,” Jaster returns, offering Agen his hand. Agen takes it, and Jaster wasn’t entirely sure what to expect of a Jedi, but his touch is warm, familiar, soft skin and calluses and a strong grip. He smiles, raising Agen's knuckles to his lips, and says, “Come, Agen. The Darksaber awaits.”
“Tarre will be most disappointed that he was not the one to answer your summons,” Agen says, and keeps walking down the stairs before Jaster can even begin to comprehend the implication that Tarre is still alive.
Hey so listen. I’ve only played Witcher 3 and watched the Witcher show, I know the canon is that Geralt just keeps getting brown horses and calling them all Roach BUT
it would be REALLY, REALLY FUNNY….if Roach has been the same horse for like…..fifty years…..and Geralt doesn’t notice his horse is magic, because how long do horses live? 100? This is Fine. Horses, he’s found, are surprisingly sturdy. One time a catastrophic storm sank Geralt’s ship and drowned literally everyone on board but Roach was found chilling on shore, a-okay.
Jaskier: So I didn’t want to bring this up at first, because I didn’t want you to think I wasn’t cool with your magic horse–
Geralt: My What.
Do I love Black Paladin Lance?
Yes, I do. Very much.
And do I love these lions?
WHAT A QUESTION.
I wish you'd write a fic in which for once Myles is the one who gets to give Jaster grey hair! I feel for him lol.
“I cannot believe you,” Jaster says, muffled where his face is buried in his hands. “One week of leave and this—this—this is how you come back?”
Myles weighs whether he should be ashamed of himself, considers that last time Jaster got himself kidnapped because he pissed off a culty group of guardians around an ancient shrine, and promptly decides he regrets nothing. “I was only the Sith Emperor for three days before true love’s kiss broke the spell, it was fine.”
“Fine,” Jaster repeats, pained, and raises his head, leveling an incredulous look at Myles. There’s possibly more grey in his hair than there was a week ago. Myles should likely feel bad about that. He doesn’t. “Fine. Myles, you conquered a planet.”
“It was a small planet,” Myles defends. “Practically a moon.”
“You raised a fleet of Sith ghosts.”
“Revan was a lot politer than the stories say,” Myles says mildly, and only partially for the way Jaster practically twitches at that, his desire to shake Myles down for every single detail warring with his need to yell. With great amusement, Myles watches his jaw twitch, the vein in is forehead throb, and doesn’t grin, but—it takes more self-control than anything has in a very long time.
“You,” Jaster manages after a long moment of struggling with himself, “raised a fleet of Sith ghosts, took over a planet, threatened the Republic into handing over a Jedi, and then married him.”
Said Jedi, leaning back against the wall and looking entirely unbothered by this whole thing, raises a brow but doesn’t comment.
“That’s slightly out of order,” Myles says, and it’s kind of a defense. “We met before the Sith…incident. On my first night of leave. And Agen realized what was going on and broke the spell eventually.”
Jaster closes his eyes, pinching the bridge of his nose. Myles is intimately familiar with that expression and the headache it’s meant to ward off, mostly because his beloved Mand’alor inflicts it on him frequently, and he tries hard not to let his smile slip into a smirk.
“But not before, of course, you gave every corner of the holonet enough material to sustain the one-credit romance novel industry for the next decade.”
“I've been informed that some of the offerings that have already come out are surprisingly decent,” Agen says, and Myles is going to kiss his husband square on the mouth.
As soon as they’re out of the office, maybe. If he tries it right now, Jaster's head might explode, and that would defeat the purpose of torturing him with this for the rest of his natural life.
Jaster stares, blank-faced, at Agen, like he expected nothing but still had his hopes crushed regardless.
Myles doesn’t laugh in his Mand’alor’s face, because it’s much more fun to laugh behind his back. “Revan said he’d visit after the honeymoon,” he says, perfectly mild. “And Agen knows that Jedi you were making eyes at—”
“Mace Windu, my lineage brother,” Agen puts in dutifully.
“I was not making eyes at him,” Jaster says, all deep offense and indignation, like Myles can't see him grab for a stylus and scribble the name down on the edge of a pad. “And I am not giving you time off for a honeymoon. In fact, I don’t think I'm ever going to give you so much as a single solitary day off ever again, if this is what happened after one week of vacation—”
Myles rolls his eyes. “I'm taking my husband back to our rooms,” he says, pointed, right over top of Jaster. “And you are not going to bother us for at least three days, or I’ll tell Arla that you chased off her first girlfriend.”
Jaster's face leeches of color. “You wouldn’t dare.”
“Try it and see,” Myles says, unwavering, and steps back. when he offers an arm, Agen takes it delicately, practically radiating amusement, and Myles smirks back at him, then turns precisely and leads him out the door.
The last thing he hears from inside is Jaster's long, despairing, heartfelt groan.
[On AO3]
“One with the Force, they are, and our job it is to remember that we will, in time, also pass on. Luminous beings are we, but temporary vessels, our bodies are. And we shall all find ourselves here, in time. A moment of silence, I ask—to remember, and to move on.”
“On occasion, the Force allows us to connect with another living being and communicate with them across great distances, seeing what they see and feeling what they feel. Though this may seem like a harmless–and perhaps even valuable–ability, it is easily manipulated by those on the dark side. Some powerful Force users have been able to create secret bonds with others who are unaware of their connection. They then use those bonds to corrupt their target and steer their actions. Even if the unwanted bond is detected, it can still be extremely difficult to break.” –Luke Skywalker, Secrets of the Jedi Hey, do you want some creepy Force horror? Apparently dark siders can create a bond with someone without them even knowing and use it to corrupt their target and steer their actions, and even if you detect the bond, it can still be difficult to break. THANKS, STAR WARS, THAT’S TERRIFYING, I LOVE IT. It’s interesting, because the prequels Jedi didn’t really seem to have a problem with it, there are multiple examples of bonds and potential bonds, where they seem to have their shit under control and can deal with it when it might become dangerous, but Luke’s point of view on them seems much more wary, which makes sense when you consider what happened with Ben and Snoke. But just that it’s at all possible is terrifying! It’s probably moreso for people who aren’t Force-sensitive, rather than those who are trained and have a solid mental foundation in the Force, but the idea of, say, being able to manipulate someone without them even knowing you’re in their head, being able to steer their actions without them knowing it, that even once they’re aware of you, it’s hard as hell to get you out of their head, THAT’S THE PSYCHIC FORCE HORROR STUFF I’M TALKING ABOUT. I mean, just think how hard it would have been for Anakin to get Palpatine’s connection out of his head, that of course Palpatine would have quietly and sneakily put little suggestions here and there. Never too much, because Anakin was so strong in the Force and he had the help of all the Jedi if Sidious was ever detected, but how easy would it have been for Palpatine to hide in amongst Anakin’s already terrified thoughts? That the source of those unexamined fears was still Anakin himself, it has always been Anakin that’s the source, but that Palpatine would sneak a bond onto him, that Anakin would be too afraid to examine his own mind and his own fears, so it’s just that little extra push that makes it all the worse? THE FORCE IS TERRIFYING, OKAY.
