so there's this really cool OC collab meme I found -- does anyone want to do it with me??

(big image so I put it under the cut)

I love love love the Empire. Only here would you get an Intelligence Officer asking a Chiss to help him spin the casual murder of another Chiss for the Empire's benefit

[andletliveagain]

It’s kinda cool how someone can just pop into your life all of a sudden and become so important to you within such a small amount of time. I think that’s what makes life so interesting though. There’s always a reason to be hopeful for the future because you never know what good things will come your way next.

[blackberry-command-cap]

Ffe’ud is so fun because she’s got pretty much open access to any method to change her appearance that exists, including plastic surgery — and instead of using it to stand out, as an agent she primarily uses it to make herself as “normal” as possible. Sees her race as an active hindrance to her job and as such puts a great deal of (Imperial Intelligence’s) money into making herself look more human.

gahhh. something something identity erasure something something xenophobia. But besides that — the Chiss as a race are so proud, so believing that they are superior to outsiders and other races. But Ffe’ud doesn’t have that. She’ll knowingly give up her dignity, let herself be objectified and used as a tool — whatever it takes to get more power.

[blackberry-command-cap]

this just in:

Ffe’ud got cybernetic eyes very soon after joining Imperial Intelligence! This was for cosmetic reasons — the red eyes weird most species out, and her entire job revolves around getting people to trust her. So! Artificial eyes with the regular white sclera and pupils. They did also come with a number of technological bells and whistles, as a nice bonus. They’re also color-customizable 😌

[crqstalite]

“is zanya ever happy” yes! it just takes over thirty years to get there keep up

[ebitenpura]

TYEE is like 10% dubious Arcann yaoi 10% Zakuulan bullshit and 80% Eight examining everything like he's in Death Note including every single romantic gesture Arcann ever does

[ebitenpura]

just researched law for an hour to write a minor plot aspect of this fic when the zakuulan emperor probably has unlimited power anyways -_-;

[blackberry-command-cap]

OP tags —

Ahhhhh Zakuul law!!! I understand if you don’t want to talk abt it until after the chapter is out but please please at some point I want to hear all the legal stuff you figured out

[blackberry-command-cap]

15 and 19 from the roots asks for Ffeud?

ask game for anyone new: Ffeud is now Ffe'ud "fey-id". she/her pronouns!

15. What was comforting to your OC as a child? Do they still find comfort in that now?

Ffe'ud spent a lot of time imagining leaving the fruitlands, going to university and becoming someone important (scientist, engineer, whatever). It kept her mind off the feeling of rotting away as a nobody. As she grew older, that morphed into resentment and anger -- that in a different universe, she would be someone important and that being born in this place, in these circumstances, was much less than she deserved. But that was later on -- as a young child, it was just a comforting daydream.

19. What traditions or stories does your OC carry forward from their childhood to the rest of their life?

After escaping Ascendancy space, Ffe'ud thought very little about her life before, mostly because trying to remember dredged up traumatic memories from the Force cult (teenage years). Besides, even if she did remember, she wouldn't consciously hold onto it.

Still, some things survived: deep breath + imagining it coming out through her feet, for example. She learned that at a very young age, and it remains something she does, almost as a superstition. Lef was the one who taught her, though she doesn't remember that now. And Lef's birthday -- the most significant day of the year for her family, though Ffe'ud was in the dark about why. These days, that day just pulls up a lot of negative feelings that she tries to ignore.

[blackberry-command-cap]

so we've got Ffe'ud going on her merry way (the Sith Inquisitor class story. don't worry she'll be fine) and now we've got the second member of the eventual post-KOTET Trio:

Tharris Kain! Former Sith, has since distanced himself from both the Empire and his prominant Sith parents. But he's still very much a disciple of Sith teachings, so he sought out the Great Hunt as an opportunity to prove his strength and gain power, victory and freedom. Time will tell whether that will be enough to break the family ties holding him back~

[wardencommandershepard]

I love emotionally constipated characters so much

I LOVE stoic silent brooding characters secretly feeling and unable to express it

But one variety of emotional constipation that I think is criminally underrepresented (ESPECIALLY in female characters??) is the Superficial Emoter™️

The one who is warm and social but never expresses anything really deep about themselves or their emotions!

The one that seems like the most well-adjusted person in the whole group, capable of taking on anything and seemingly just rolling with all of it!!!

The one who doesn't seem to have the emotional range of all the other characters, just always seems to be "doing well"!!!!!!!

The one everyone looks to as a role model of resilience and endurance and really they are just absolutely incapable of processing/understanding/expressing their own emotions, all they have is positive affect with nothing solid beneath it!!!!!!!!!!!!

(And don't even fucking get me STARTED about the ones who help everyone else process THEIR emotions, while they themselves have little to no insight about their own feelings -- not because they're unable to understand, but because they're totally unwilling to examine them!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)

Who knows what's going on deep inside their hearts and minds? NOT THEM!

[girl-blorbo-polls]

If you were handcuffed to your girl blorbo with magical unbreakable handcuffs for 24h, would you be okay with this?

I trust her, I’ll be fine

I trust her, but it’ll be a stressful 24h

It depends on what kind of day we’re having

This is gonna suck…

[belovedgamers]

The BEST trope is when a character tells another “let’s run away together, we can leave all of this behind and start a new life somewhere” and gets rejected. And then the rest of the tragedy unfolds
