I’m Normal About This I’m Normal About This I’m Normal About This I’m Normal About This I’m

never not thinking about the time thrawn and thrass were at a board game cafe and thrass stopped a robbery by calling the guy “buddy” and thrawn decked his accomplices and then the cafe owner gave them free cheese

Vurawn wondered often what his life would have looked like if he had taken the Mitth's proposal to be a merit adoptive all those years ago. At odds with the foul faced Syndic who had come to collect him? Surrounded by different friends than the ones he had now? On course for a successful military career? Certainly not here.

The Kivu were considered an obscure family by the majority of the rest of the Acendancy. As a Lesser Family, they had developed their own customs and traditions. They were more expressive than other Families, they valued art, each Kivu having their own favored medium. They grew up dancing and singing, it was uncommon for a Kivu not to be proficient in some instrument. They were an anomaly. A cultural hub in the midst of Rentor.

But what unsettled the other Families the most about the Kivu was their method for choosing their new Patriarch. While other Families elected their Patriarch democratically or the dying Patriarch chose their successor themselves, the Kivu title was passed down through blood. From Patriarch to their eldest child.

Vurawn had entered the military as a young male and had made it quite far for his time spent there and his Family name. Junior Captain. But he had other duties, and when news of his Patriarch's death reached him, he had to return to Rentor. He left his military career behind him.

And he found himself here. In a world where he was mentored by Thooraki himself, a brotherhood with a young Mitth, blossoming friendship with a sweet Syndic, a rivalry with a Prime. Ten ruling families instead of nine. A golden cape displaying his Family's symbol. And a title:

Patriarch Kivu'raw'nuru.

Does anyone have any good Transformers fanfic recs set in the Bayverse where Crosshairs and Drift are together and Drift lets out a little Deadlock?

Actually scratch that, it doesn't even have to be good recs.

Merci beaucoup @vibratingbonesbis ♥️

thank you so much for the tag @inklore 💕

it's kind of wild to see all of these out and open for me to mark. I always forget that people made fanart for an old fic of mine.

Wait...

The "Come here" whith his finger is replaying in my mind 😩 Do you think he would let me sit on his lap ? I could hug him while he works and whisper sweet nothing into his ear.

I think he would be a very bossy lover, but would he be overly dominant ? I am not so sure

I'm imagining being tucked underneath his chin, so I'm going to say yes. Also sitting at the base of his chair while he works is probably commonplace.

He wouldn't be overly dominant, he probably likes letting go every once in a while. Create a safe place for him where he doesn't have to be the Patriarch, he can just be Thurfian. But make no mistake, I don't think he'll ever let you top him, he can't give up that much control.

Crowley (drunk on a bar): sometimes I can't believe myself. I mean, I slithered here from Eden just to what? Hide outside his damned door?

Hozier (taking notes): tell me more...

I don't really ship Thrawn with anyone. I enjoy him with Ar'alani, I think a relationship with Eli is beautiful, sometimes I even toy with the idea of him and Pryce, even Thalias. Any way it's tragic. But none of them I feel are a true fit. He doesn't strike me as the type to have a romantic partner at all, no matter how much I wish...

It's awesome! And technically the Acendancy books show this to a degree (and they are Canon). I think the only reason that so many fans see him as cold and heartless is because unlike Vader and other main villains he doesn't have the "wife died, former gifted kid, son of the savior" points that make people feel for him. At least in the movies/TV shows. Also we don't see his POV, we only see from the people around him, and even in the Zahn books the imperial around him find him extreme meanwhile the Chiss are just like "aww he shot him."

I hope that this is the mindset that Thrawn continues to have in live action.

He may serve the Empire but he is still fiercely loyal to the Chiss people. I hope we see that.

ziinda, about thrawn: do you trust him?

ar'alani: i absolutely trust him.

ziinda: so he is not some kind of mad man then?

ar'alani:

ar'alani: i absolutely trust him.

I have so many things to say about Thrawn and Gideon and culture and art and appreciation and imperialism and appropriation and so much else but I’ll leave it at this tonight because my tumble is fucky and I don’t know how to phrase it at four am.

They are setting up Gideon to be inherently weaker then Thrawn because Thrawn engages with the cultures he uses to destroy his enemies and Gideon simply takes what looks useful to him. This is really interesting and I can’t wait to see how it plays out (Gideon gets fucking schooled)
