Ar'alani: How Many Kids Do You Have?

I meant it for Saint Valentine’s day, cause what could be better for SVD then a deja moo.

(Also hope, that deja moo idiom works fine. Sometimes I feel myself a bit Thrawn).

I was thinking on my walk home from work today. I've always imagined Thrawn's exile as a vague blob of three ish years but it hit me that he spent four years in exile. Alone, with no sentinents. With only a token from Ungali and Thalias to represent everyone who loved him.

Waiting for the day his plotting went into action.

Looking at the ring. Thinking of all he had lost. Thalias and Un'hee and Ar'alani and Samakro and everyone else. (I like to imagine he keeps it close for the rest of his days. Eli learns of it when he commissions it to be painted onto the bottom of the Chimaera. He never learns the full story of it. It becomes a thing that he only takes out on certain nights.

And I was like wait, so he was in exile all of Eli's time at the Myomar Academy pretty much which makes it seem so much longer cause wow. That puts things into perspective. But I was also thinking...

So Thrawn spent those four years in exile while Eli was beginning his military career. And before that Thrawn had his military career. And after they met they had their golden 12 years, in which everyone knew they were a pair. Even people that didn't know them knew that Eli Vanto was a name that followed Thrawn's.

And then they parted. Eli was techinally military, but mostly desk job, while Thrawn stayed active. And then when Eli got a promotion Thrawn got purrgilled and he was grand admiral of nothing.

Basically, the point I'm making is they don't have separate military careers at the same time. The timeline was unintentionally made so they take turns making their names and chess moves. But they only move at the same time at each other's side, together. When the only one that can beat them is... Nightswan.

Idk if it means anything but little thing I noticed.

Jabba says you can have an extra hour in the ballpit

Thrawn: Why are threesomes only for sex? Why can I not join in on a couple's argument in public if I have a good point to make?

Eli: . . .
