Please Tell Me When You're Done I Want To Read Something Like This So Badly

I don’t know if you just implied that anakin murdered people without knowing or that it was qui gon... but I love it. So just that I understand that right (because English is not my first language and I tend to miss stuff), rn there is a war on mandalore with Jango, the haat madoade and the clones on one side and death watch with droid reinforcements and maybe unstable maul on the other side. Meanwhile Palps is laughing maniacally in the background, Dooku is trying to figure things out and help his grandpadawan the best he can and Obi-wan is denounced from the order, not very liked in the public eye but supported by the Mandalorians right? So would Obi go to Mandalore to help his fave murder boi or go back to the temple because something is going wrong in the senate rn and he needs to sort out the slander problem? And would Jango just in true Mando fashion adopt all the clones and have them be taught (and teach them himself) in Mando tradition (and maybe how to fight against force users because he can’t stop thinking about Maul threatening his family)?

@1elysium​ the dha kar’ta post was super heckin long, so i thought i’d answer you over here!

i can’t speak for fiori, but i’m so glad you’re enjoying it!! this au already means a lot to me, and the support for it so quickly has been amazing, both on here and ao3. I’m thinking between two and three years between Illum and Jango meeting them! i need time for Obi to build a relationship with Dooku and Anakin, and Dha lol. 

i haven’t given much thought to Obi taking a padawan, because i haven’t solidified my wants for the clones just yet. you’re right, they started them right about the time of the invasion of Naboo, but since Dooku was the one to orchestrate getting Jango involved, i don’t see that happening in this ‘verse. which breaks my feckin heart cause i LOVE the clones and Boba and i definitely implied in the force visions that Boba was a possibility, but i can’t figure out how to make it work 😭if Obi were to take a padawan, ahsoka is definitely a possibility, but savage has also crossed my mind. but yes he would absolutely raise them as Mando’ade Jedi. 

as for Dooku being involved with Palps, i’ve actually been thinking about that! i think he’s suspicious yes, but that’s the thing about a sith lord, he can warp people’s perceptions of him and his actions, and he has a lot of power that the council is beholden to, and Dooku IS a little busy trying to keep his other dumbass grandson alive. so while he’s still with the order, he’s off planet a LOT even before Jango searches them out.

now, that being said, Anakin is an eldritch force vessel in this, which he was not in the canon timeline. the force is semi-sentient and endless and exists on multiple layers of spice-time and is basically fucking canon in an attempt to keep Obi-Wan alive. which means it can’t allow Anakin to fall. which means Palps has less icky fingers in Anakin’s brain and while Anakin might not be totally aware of his status as a vessel, he knows to trust the force because on Tatooine, that’s all he had. i’ll save my other thoughts for the actual fic, but while Palps does manipulate Anakin to an extent, he doesn’t have nearly as strong a foothold.

and @theclonewarsbrokeme​ because this story is your baby too

Same

i have bde. bisexual disaster energy

The way the canonically "severely socially anxious" character looks like this terminates me. I can fix him.

I don't thing he has to be evil but I do think he is going to be the villian of the story. Maybe All the other elves saw humanity as beneath them and he thought it was wrong. Maybe he tried to help but instead of teaching them primal magic they learned dark magic and he was banned for helping. Now he wants revenge? I don't know maybe it's just the point that I always try and see the good in people. (Not necessarily a good trait)

Aaravos’ Backstory: TDP Foreshadowing

So guys, I am a big nerd who loves foreshadowing in fantasy. While watching Season 2 of TDP, I took screenshots of the books Viren found in the library when he was trying to look up Aaravos, just in case they were decipherable…

And this book looks like it was written in a Germanic language!

So I typed the words into Google Translate, and they’re in Danish!

(TDP fans who actually speak Danish, please forgive me for this terrible google translate job. And fix my mistakes if you want, because I’m not sure I spelled anything correctly. XD)

From the top of the first screenshot:

From the second screenshot (same page; this screenshot was easier to read):

Conclusions:

Aaravos is super powerful

In the past, he helped one group of people fight another. From the way this is written, he probably helped the humans fight the elves.

The author says they have never heard a name like Aaravos before (they’re not an elf) and that others call their people “inferior.” Sometimes humans are perceived this way in the show because they can’t do magic. Aaravos encouraged the author’s people to take control of their destiny.

He also gave them “awards.” I looked up “foraæringerne” and I think “gifts” is a better translation. He gave humans magic? Weapons? Magical weapons? Maybe he taught them dark magic!

This reinforces the already convincing theory that he’s a villain

@aceroruga clarified for me that “indbildskehed” means vanity or conceit. “They must pay for their vanity,” yikes!

@fallkos clarified that “bygge vones fremtid” means “build our future.” Ironically, that’s what Google Translate wrote before I changed the spelling of some other word. The algorithm was working against me lmao

The TDP team has mastered foreshadowing

I am going to sleep now

EDIT: The second book is in Arabic, and @restuffedants translated the screenshot!

there was an opportunity

I don't know, but maybe they somehow chained him down with enchanted chains and then attack him. Or in season 2 we learn that to slay a dragon you need to hit him in the chest, so Amaya probably launched an enchanted Speer or an arrow and hit him. (When I say enchanted I mean dark magic brought to you by lord Viren) Do you get what I mean?

The dragon king’s death

We are told the dragon king was killed by using really powerful and really dark magic. So Viren must have played a huge role in it right? But I don’t picture him as the one killing the dragon king and not mentioning it. So, who did it? I know there were probably many soldiers who could do it but when it comes to actually killing the dragon king there is only one person that I can picture doing it.

Amaya

Yes, not Viren or Harrow but Amaya.

I mean she is so badass she must have been there. And she probably wanted revenge for her sister and friend Sarai (just as much as Harrow who also could have done it because of that) so yeah she is the only one I can imagine doing it and to be honest? I wouldn’t even be mad at her.

Say it louder for the people in the back!

This is a reminder that white people in the Star Wars fandom (especially white Americans) have a responsibility to support minorities and people of color in this fandom.

This means we need to be listening to them, supporting their work, and exposing racism/racists in the community.

Star Wars has already been tinted by creators that appropriated and abused other cultures; similar people and situations should not be embraced or ignored in this fandom

The statements "burying your gays is defined as when a gay character is specifically killed off for the sake of being killed off and given much less prominence than any cishet character deaths, Cinta’s death was afforded just as much weight as Brasso’s (and we know that the point is most of the main cast aren’t going to survive)” and "it was still really fuckin upsetting as an audience to watch Cinta just die after finally getting an onscreen kiss" can and should coexist

Is it just me or is he a total drama queen? Like, look at him

Compare that to the times when Claudia cast a rune or something and .... But maybe that's just because he's in battle? But also this:

He's completely unimpressed and through the whole scene he's being dramatic. (Sorry I dont have any GIFs right now) It's just that I can't picture him NOT being a drama queen. Anyone else?
