@darth-mendax
Hey guys look at the AMAZING commission I got from @luckycat-curiosities !!! It's a lil gift for @darth-mendax -- a portrait of the angst bean herself šā¤ Hope you enjoy!! And thank you again for the commissioonnnnn
. . . .Ā
FRIEND YOU ARE A GIFT! THANK YOU TO YOU AND THE ORIGINAL ARTIST!!!!!!
Guys I'm gonna be vulnerable but I binged all of Maul Shadow Lord and the fixation/attraction has gripped me so tight, I'm considering rewriting Mendax's story. . .
should I?
Do it
Don't do it
fuck a skywalker killing sidious, maul deserved to do it
Alternate universe idea where Kenobi and Maul chaotically coparent train Luke to know the ways of the force and lightsaber dueling. Maul insists on training Luke how to use a dual bladed saber to spite Sidious and the Inquisitors. Kenobi retorts through teaching Luke how to precisely cut at a person's weak spot. Much of Luke's training goes on like that. Luke ends up as much more sarcastic and skilled, all while giving Vader flashbacks of his old master and giving Sidious instant trauma because what do you mean the son of my chosen pupil is spinning a saber just like my first apprentice-.
You know youāve fucked up when youāve got a Jedi Master, a Sith Lord, & your middle-aged detective buddy all collectively looking at you like this: š¤Ø

When violent characters are gentle and tender & when gentle characters are violent and unhinged
An Archive of Our Own, a project of the Organization for Transformative Works
Summary: Years before the Battle of Yavin, years before the scuffle on the Dune Sea of Tatooine that ended in a sarlaac, Boba Fett made a disturbing, and frankly irritating, discovery. For several years, a small group of former clone troopers had been flying around the Galaxy taking bounty hunting jobs--as him. But, as life is a fickle thing, and what had irked him so much then could prove to be his best hope now in defeating the Pykes and saving his new city from destruction.
Basically, I altered the whole accelerated aging thing a bit so more clones are around post-Empire, and then I fixed some bits of The Book of Boba Fett bc stuff Bothered me. Enjoy random shenanigans!
Thanks to @23-bears for the idea inspiration, and thanks to @darth-mendax for the title! @theultimatesandwich @soclonely @501st-verified uhhhh who else wants to read this lol
Finally, some recognition for my smarts around here /j Anyways read this, itās hilarious and genius.Ā

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things
itās not concrete; itās duracrete
viewports are the windows on ships
not a plane; ship or speeder
itās not steel; itās durasteel
books are rare; holorecords or datapads
itās not a glass pane itās transparisteel
caf is the equivalent of coffee
itās not paper itās a flimsi
medcenterĀ is a hospital
Star Wars can be very similar to things weāre already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe
This is brilliant! Ā Hereās another:
Itās not a movie; itās aĀ holovid
Itās not a phone or cell; itās a holocomĀ or communicatorĀ or just comm (unit).Ā You normally commĀ someone instead of callĀ them.
Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives. Ā The other items exist, theyāre just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of whatās commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).
Iāve seen āpermacreteā used in the latest books as well.
Back in the day werenāt the āglassā windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because whatās what you do in 10th grade.
I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I canāt remember v well). But hereās some more:
bandaids = bacta patches bathroom = refresher watch/clock = chrono first aid kit = medpack, medkitĀ Ā motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike camera = holocamera internet = holonet shower = sonic shower(?)Ā
Correct any of these if theyāre wrong ;P also theyāre all legends I think and Iām not sure if any of them are in new canon.
I love this, because itās not condescending or pretentiousā¦just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I havenāt been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though theyāre waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And Iāve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!
a shower is aĀ sanisteam
nearly everyone has commlinks but holocomm units are a bit more pricy ā think space skype. theyāre connected to the holonet. Ā i donāt think thereās a star wars term for emails (maybe just mail) but those also exist.
personal computing devices are datapads, stationary ones are terminals. Ā also, you donāt get a stack of physical paper for paperwork; you get a stack of datapads. (although paper is called flimsi, paperwork is still called paperwork. go figure)
kilometers are klicks
a lot of fighter pilot helmets have tongue switches for their commlinks so pilots donāt have to take their hands off the controls during dogfights. Ā random factoid that might come in handy
some in-universe swearwords: sithspit, sithspawn, fragged, fragging
a hacker is a slicer or codeslicer
I was thinking of making this post just today ā glad to see a version is already going around!!
Klick is actually a real-world slang term for kilometer! Everything that I can remember is that the galaxy uses the metric system, or at least the GAR does. And Iāve seen showers just called showers in someĀ Legends novels.
Some things I donāt see above:
Plastic is often called plastoid, and Iāve seen the clone troopersā armor called either just plastoid or plastoid alloy. Plastoid goes for either your thick stuff or your thin sheets. There is a thing called plastifoil, Iāve seen it used in reference to the material of a thermal blanket.
Bucket is a slang in (at least) the GAR for helmet. I donāt know how common it is among stormtroopers.
Your memory card type things, which go into your datapads, are (natch) datachips.
Similarly, your ID is an identichip.
And as far as video recorders, above says camera as holocamera, but Iāve also seen holorecorder.
Also, as far as Iāve seen, though the city on Coruscant covers the entire planet, the city itself is called Galactic City during the Republic and Imperial City (iirc) during the Empire. Triple Zero (or Trip Zip) is a military slang term for Coruscant because of its coordinates 0-0-0.
More generally, when looking up slang terms and swears, consider where it comes from. I wouldnāt expect a Corellian to say the Mandoāa swear shab.Ā Though, the Huttese fierfekĀ seems to be universal. The swear kriffing is also a common one.
Bless you all for compiling this!
Further swear words include karabast, kriff(ing) and kark(ing).Ā
Lightsabers short out in water unless turned to a special mode beforehand!
Iāve also seenĀ āplastoidā referred to asĀ āplastisteelā.
Pens/pencils are generally referred to as a stylus.
There is a difference between a ship and a speeder; ships are like planes or boats in terms of they are for long-distance space travel. Speeders are like cars or motorbikes; for planetary travel.
Awesome !
me realizing I have been a fool all this time:
Just in case anynody needs help! I know I do when Iām writing.
I wonder what theyād call fanfic in the star wars universeĀ
Star Wars was my hyperfixation growing up, and seeing all of these made me realize these terms still live rent free in my head over two decades later.

Another analysis of Why I Love This Clipā¢
1. Maulās indignant outrage at the fact that Kanan wants to leave
2. Ezra giving Kanan puppy dog eyes and it absolutely works on him.
3. The only line Chopper ever says in any episode: āwHaT tHe fUcK?!ā
3. Maul being a shit at the end
4. āThis way.ā Spoken like āgod damn, no need to be rude about itā
Chopper does sound like heās saying that-Ā
No, listen
The way they present Maul as an actual monster in this scene always gives me goosebumps. The music in the background sounds like something from a horror film. The distant sound of footsteps coming from just beyond the edge of the shadows. She can see his silhouette, but not the details. Itās like the sound of the ground shaking in Jurassic Park or hearing the Jaws theme in the movies. You know whatās coming, but you canāt quite see it yet. At first he is presented as a shape and an ominous sound. And Ahsoka lowers her weapons for a moment because I imagine this is the first time sheās seen him and sheās probably thinking sheās completely outmatched (which she is at the moment). Maybe sheās seen images of him from the archives, but I like to believe that she had no image of Maul in her head other than what she had imagined from the stories of the āmonsterā that Obi-wan cut in half and yet survived.
