I’ve Decided I’m Too Lazy To Post One Cat A Day. Have The Rest Of Them :)

I think i cracked it, the reason everything produced in the times of the High Republic is soo good compared to modern Star Wars, tldr its because of pain.

See, in all the works that date during the High Republic (specifically during George's ownership of SW) there's this fearlessness to show pain and tragedy and death, and i know it sounds like "everything for the children these days is sanitized!" but think for a second if Revenge of the Sith would be something Disney would publish these days and that's your answer, but that's just a tangent meant to emphasize the difference between Og SW and new SW, because what Og SW had was strife, and you the viewer knew that, because every time you booted up KOTOR or played Phantom Menace you knew what was coming, you knew to expect the isle of happiness in which the characters lived to slowly sink beneath the waves of tragedy and you'll see it happen as the characters around the story just dug up their own fates, in very much George Lucas fashion, and THAT is what made the work and the small moments of levity to taste so much sweeter, because you see the characters who you've grown attached to suffer so un-justly that when you return to the good times you can't help but appreciate the good and mourn it's departure.

The reason new SW does not achieve this is because the characters are dealing with the aftermath of the destruction of the baddies, its the birth of the hope for the future, its when you look at the horizon at the END of the movie, yes new problems may arise but the big hurdle is done and Disney didn't cultivate the joy from the Alliance's victory as it should, because instead of giving us proper post-war optimism (as it fits the real life post WW2 countries counterparts and fantasy sci-fi proper) it stuck only with the brooding post-war trauma, and while yes, that is also a very realistic take it still lacked verily from the former and thus there is no reason why we should mourn a character's strife if that is all we've seen from them, its like watching paint dry, nothing particularly changes, just a new villain here and there, the new character discovers new powers, new info, but there is no resolution, no reward for their strife, and even if they were going for a bleak post-war future (which they didn't and it also doesn't fit SW's constant theme of hope for a better future) it still ends up looking incomplete for the mere reason that they don't want to shut the book in case they need to milk the cow some more.

My point with all this was not to bash new SW though, my point was to use it as a comparison to highlight how Og SW built itself on a foundation of hope, how it showed us the height before the fall, how it is possible to make Shakespeare in space and leave all of us with broken hearts and looking hopefully into the future.

Dance the night away

*Holds up like a proud parent,* -This is my boy,, this one is mine-,, you may have seen him running around over here,, don’t mind him- he’s on break <33

His name is Zephyr ✨- [and this is the most solid reference I’ve got of him,, see inconsistent references below <33]

And now??? Introducing a passionate rant about the big brother esc goofball no one has seen yet

[passionate rant below cut]

Essentially, what I’ve got going so far is Zephyr used to be a renowned competitive racer before the war back on Cybertron, he lived for the tracks and often received citations for speed racing through civilian streets. That was until his street friend caught wind of a race academy located somewhere near Iacon where they could both learn how to compete professionally

They both entered and on their first official race someone ended up wiping out, bad, so Zeph dropped back to help em out and they gained a third friend that day

As a young upstart Zephyr began gaining some crazy popularity, blissfully [intentionally??] ignorant of the state of the government. [kinda the same mentality as the phrase, “If I can’t see it? Then it doesn’t exist ✨”]. That is, until one day he wiped out on the track, even worse than was considered possible at the time, and he got sent into a coma before the war officially started.

During his time in stasis, Zeph’s friends had a huge argument about the morality of the war and ended up choosing different sides of the fight before they could reconcile. Only one of them openly appeared to hold onto the hope that Zephyr was going to recover [though they both secretly visited after their fight anyways] His first friend later decided that the hospital, the stasis that would never end, the loss of both his friends, was too much for him and he effectively ejected Zephyr from the hospital as an act of mercy, so fate might deal with him as it pleased.

Zephyr woke up from stasis years later after the pod he was being housed in got blown up and some dormant fear based adrenaline kicked in.

What began as a blissfully ignorant coping skill, after running into some friendly [neutral] wanderers, Zeph continued his race training,, determined to compete the second the war essentially “fixed itself” [even tho his engines haven’t been running quite right ever since his wake from stasis] but over time, he trained less and less as the inpermanence of his dream began to set in

He had some misadventures and those lead me to where he is now,, stuck in a war, no idea what’s going on, trying to find his two original friends, both of whom he doesn’t know hate each other 😌🫶

[and once he does- he founds a secret faction, dedicated to drawing neutral territory between bots and cons after he got his friends back together/ and everything was good for a bit until one very bad day, his faction got exposed and practically everyone he had instilled hope into got ripped to shreds- [including one of his friends[they died]]]

He wanders around kinda aimlessly nowadays as a husk of who he once wanted to be. His only friend rejoined the Autobots. -And he gave up any hope for peace ever :D👍

… until-

Crew Head Cannons: Jedi Consular Edition. Pt 2

- Tharan will sometimes take the crew out to experience ‘culture’ ie eating at fancy places or going to the museum. Felix is the most receptive to it.

- Zenith puts up with Nadia taging along, and actually is gruff uncle type to her.

- when the consular goes on diplomacy mission Zenith and Nadia are the ones actually interested in politics. Tharan and Felix pay attention but are more there for the good food.

- Felix and Qyzen share a favorite swoop team the Pit Screamers.

-For Felix it’s because the team’s daring stunts appeal to the part of him that wants to be a hero. Qyzen just likes how the Pit Screamers overcome danger and totally not because their team captain is also trandoshan.

- Tharan and Holiday like the Blatant Beks because spectacle.

- Qyzen respects Zenith, and Felix as capable warriors, and Nadia the Heralds student. Tharan is tolerated because his importance as the caretaker of the Herald’s ship and special understanding old metal things.

- Nadia has surprisingly found Qyzen to be helpful teacher about force things because of his deep spirituality.

- Holiday is the second person (first is consular) Nadia goes to when she needs somebody to talk to.

- Tharan is the one who teaches Zenith to dance as well as the other formalities that one needs to know for the social gathering that enviably await the politically involved. Zenith hates it.

- Felix and Nadia are probably the most interactive with Holiday, talking to her likes real. Zenith sees her something like tool. Qyzen doesn’t really know what make of her, he does take her for granted, the way you take the floor for granted for just existing.

- Tharan favorite people to take places besides Holiday are the consular, Nadia, and Felix.

- Felix a pretty good friendship with all the other members of the crew.

Transformers Hound Headcannons

His Awe

Hound is blown away by the small things in life like how molecules make metal he appreciates how delicate their structures have to for life to just work. To him the fact this can echo from molecular level up the levels of an ecosystem. He never gets tired of how miraculous it is that things just work and that work well enough for things to just keep living.

Hound carries this awe with him as an insatiable curiosity. He can see the miracle in things working! Enough to listen appreciatively has Prowl ranting about strategy, Wheeljack gushing about what could work, and Mirage literature takes. All of these things are genuinely incredible to Hound.

He always wants whoever he talking to tell him more about ever it is their going on about. As a result of being a very engaged listener he has a lot friends amount the Ark crew. Even with difficult bots like Cliffjumper and Mirage. Hounds ability to always talk to people can be annoying since he has held two separate conversations at the same time before. To the irritation the two bots trying to talk to him.

This curiosity is what drives him. Drives Hound to explore, to make friends, and to lay on his stomach in the mud to watch the fish doing their thing for hours at a time. This curiosity and constant learning that goes with it is part of where is his reigned tracking skills come from.

His cause

It is this constant amazement that life just lives, that Hound fights for during the war. This is cause he chooses to risk his life for, this is what he comforts himself with on nights where even the stars are dark.

This part of his being is why Hound treasures Earth. There is so much living in the earth from the people to the worms beneath their feet. It just blows Hounds mind. Because it’s so beautiful, and so preciously balanced it’s…every Cybertron isn’t. Was but is no longer. So Hound will treasure and record as much of Earth’s life as possible.

He’d treat a weed he dug up like it’s sacred. While carefully photographing and documenting it, for his holograms. Then he’d gently replant it before going to the Ark to reconnect and share.

Authors note: I just think there could be this beauty to Hound so now you all get to have it too.

Would love to answer some of these.

Felix Romance Update

My consular Elvira is an interesting mix of being in the know, and oblivious. She knew there was something up with Felix’s feelings regarding her but didn’t once cross her mind that he liked her.

They’re in a relationship now but it’s slow going. When Felix made free time for her she invited him to her to spend time with this desire was totally innocent get know you better type stuff. Yet somehow things naturally escalated, and they hit second base. My consular is a bit wigged out over it. So wigged out, that she didn’t tell Felix she loved him afterwards. She just sorta thanked him instead.

Like she does in fact love him, but this Jedi is still reeling from all these unknown feelings and complications. Which is impressive because Felix is pretty a straightforward guy. So these problems are entirely of her own making. Elvira will admit she cares about him deeply but love? No that’s too much, too big.

I’m over here like Jedi, why are you like this?

Very cool

Maverik'a || Action Figure

I commissioned a few months back this action figure of Maverik'a and there she is! Huge props to Old Architect Customs for building her, who's also been nothing but super kind and patient c: If y'all want your Star Wars OCs made into action figures, hit him up on IG! Just keep in mind these take a lot of time and effort.

More pictures of the photoshoot below lol >>>

bonus: Maverik'a angry at Shae (we all know why)

Love how Jazz is drawn here. It blends a lot different elements of his character very well. Like a love the all roundness in his design it brings how friendly and bubbly he is.

There is more black and red in this design. Then is typical for a Jazz design but it does highlight the darker parts of his character. It also works great for the Jazz in the fic (Mistakes on Mistakes Until, by Jabbrish) that that is fanart was drawn for.

All this was just say I love this plus it introduced me to a good fic.

I’m back with even more of Mistakes on mistakes until fanart ahahhcjvmgkb

They are….very special to me you don’t understand

Love the combaticons. So naturally I love this.

….Talking about Combaticons made want to draw Combaticons

I like the idea of Brawl and Onslaught being much bigger than average human while Swindle (especially young) is much smaller than average. Sp whenever stand stand next to each other they look so out of place haha
