The Illustrated Book of Manners: A Manual of Good Behavior and Polite Accomplishments, 1866

You can only reblog this today.

I've heard some debate over which Family the skywalkers will choose. I haven't heard much over the possibility of Vah'nya losing Third Sight, but imagine if she did. Whose Family would she choose? Ar'alani's former Family the Irizi? Her (possible) father Thrawn's? To my knowledge there aren't any Chiss she's particularly close to.

But you know what would be sweet? If she took the Family of a very close friend, of someone who swore to protect her. It would be unconventional. It would cause an uproar in the Syndicure.

Imagine if she took the name Eli'vah'nya. Ivah.

finished reading thrawn and the internet was so right. it was so gay oh my god

what if u were from wild space and i was your aide also from wild space and we fell in love

Something I noticed while listening to the Thrawn 2017 audiobook:

There’s a part in chapter 5 at Royal Imperial Academy where Eli gets all salty about Thrawn “getting through four years of military training in three months and also jumping a rank (to lieutenant) on everyone else.” And Thrawn’s like, “…Did you forget I have tons of military experience already?” This calms Eli down and he says he does indeed forget that fact sometimes.

This is wild to me because based on the new timeline information, Thrawn, who was born in BBY 59, is in his early to mid 40s at the time that he and Eli attend Royal Imperial. Eli, by contrast, is probably like 20-22 years old. (I’m basing this assumption off of Lost Stars where cadets attended Royal Imperial from age 16 to 19. I’m assuming the academy was taking younger cadets at the time of Lost Stars, and thus Eli was probably a few years older than 19 when he attended over a decade prior.) Anyways, Eli is rooming with a literal 40-something year old man — a guy who was one rank below flag officer in his own military — and he’s pissed off because the dude is Billy Madison-ing his way through Imperial naval training.

Why is Eli able to forget about their 20-ish year age gap and Thrawn’s obvious wealth of military expertise? They’re literally roommates. It seems hard to not remember this about your roommate. Is it because Thrawn looks young or because chiss age differently than humans? Is it because it’s hard for Eli to predict the relative age of an alien, especially when he’s only met one single person from the species? Is it related to Thrawn’s political naivete which makes him seems less experienced to Eli?

Why?? Because he definitely mistook this guy for someone of the same age and experience level as himself:

Maybe it’s because Thrawn put his boots on the bed. A 40 year old should know better 🙃

 “Are you…ill?” Eli blurted out in disbelief. It was just so out of character for the composed, calm Chiss. But, he supposed, they weren’t actually creatures out of legend. Just another normal species. Who got sick. And needed medical care. Oh, gods.

 “I am fine,” Thrawn said, voice muffled from under the blankets. If they hadn’t known each other for the past few weeks, lived together — if Eli hadn’t been studying Thrawn’s every expression for days — Eli would have bought it.

From @coldhillside’s story Untranslatable

“You’re afraid of me,” Kanan said. The words caused Thrawn to wince. Maybe if he wasn’t so exhausted he would have been better prepared to deal with all of this, to mask his fear with confidence… but the thought of a Jedi… in his head… reading his thoughts… knowing how weak he was… how easy it would be for him to choke … and how helpless he would be against it.

…but the same Jedi he was afraid of was keeping Eli alive. Willingly. Thrawn winced again, trying to force himself to trust him. And at the same time, he found himself holding his breath… in anticipation. For the attack that wasn’t coming.

“You don’t have to be afraid,” Kanan said, calmly. “I won’t hurt you.”

Won’t. Not can’t.

Happy May the Fourth from @starwarsotsource!

For the Star Wars Day (May the Fourth / May the Force Be With You) there was shared (with the permission of the Pratchett Estate ) a Terry Pratchett story from the Star Wars Universe that was only published in a newspaper 45 years ago! Very excited to read a new Terry's piece! :)❤ (tweet)

Also, Terry Pratchett writing fanfiction 45 years ago, can I hear a wahoo? :)

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.
