PETER GOT ADOPTED BY THE MOST BADASS FEMALE WARRORS IN THE UNIVERSE

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

Right??!!

And adding onto this, Indara tells him multiple times not to project his own emotions and wants onto the twins but we are very clearly shown that he does.

He says he feels a connection to Osha and that’s why he wants to save her but when Mae runs outside to get their mother he can’t tell it’s Mae and not Osha.

And on top of that, I do truly think that he’s trying to be what he perceives as good and morally right, but his own biases against the coven blind him. He falls back on the mindset that the show has criticized in past episodes where the Jedi supposedly think everything that isn’t their way of using the force is the dark side. Which… isn’t necessarily how the Jedi as a whole think, and Indara as the wise and leading Master on this mission proves it, but it is the same principle that we apply in irl debates where a few loud voices overshadow the minority. Sol, in this case with his actions not his words, causes a catastrophe that is based in this mindset and ultimately proves mother Aniseya right.

Of course it is not solely his fault (and I love how ultimately nuanced the situation is and not just “Jedi bad”) but him projecting his perception of the situation and acting out based on biases and assumptions are the catalyst that escalates everything. And, of course the most blatant thing that shows this, is him saving Osha over Mae, because Mae is already “tainted” (aka marked).

Overall I think this episode, combined with the other flashback episode, portrayed beautifully how biased we are in our own stories and perceptions and how this can affect the stories and perceptions of others.

the character work with sol in this episode was SO good. the way the show has built him up to be this ideal jedi, and then this episode strips it away, showing his hubris, showing how quick to judgment he is. throughout the episode, he insisted on interfering, over and over, because he was so sure of himself, so sure that the twins were in danger, that he knew what was best for them; he killed mother aniseya because he assumed that whatever magic she was using - magic that presumably was meant to transport mae away and save her - was violent in nature. and then she tells him in her final moments that she was going to let osha go, and there's all that guilt, that crushing realization that his assumptions were wrong, and at the end of the episode he wants to purge it all by telling the council - but indara is the one who points it out as selfishness; by confessing, he would be assuaging his own guilt while also destroying osha's chance to fulfill her dream of being a jedi. and so he takes osha on as his padawan, and he carries that guilt with him, every single day of his life. "i've accepted my darkness; what have you done with yours?"

Okay, I have something important to say. According to book four, Xie Lian can actually make decent food, and he cooks bad on purpose (spoiler next)

He does it to honour his dead mom cuz her cooking was *cough* shit *cough*

Anyway, this is sad and wholesome, but this also means that he could have just warned the other characters, or maybe cooked nice food for them but NOPE

He woke up and CHOSE food poisoning.

He did this to Shi Qingxuan, He Xuan, Pei Su, intended to do it to Feng Xin and Mu Qing.

This man just went: "I'm mourning her, and if you don't drink the recommended amount of water after eating this we will also be mourning YOU"

We all need this in our life

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers

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?

Christmas with family

So the ctabb server had a little secret Santa and my santee was the lovely @smiling-anon and the prompt was a day with the todofam with Christmas shenanigans and Dabihawks. I tried to sprinkle in some Rei/Inko through Tododeku too since you wished for it.
