okay so i havent shared much of my swtor OCs on this blog bc i am relatively new to the game (joined up last may or early june) but with the new content out, i’d like to start by introducing my lovely sent, Léalla, displaying impeccable lightsaber safety --

here she is with her best friend and most trusted advisor (her dear disaster-spy husband is ofc in his own category) - this scene hit me really hard because I think it’s the first time we see Lana be just... so vulnerable with an unromanced PC

aaand here comes the disaster spy boy to butter her up and convince her to let him come

And always my favorite, but especially this time -- the alright-lightsabers-are-already-out-lets-do-this-already shot

no one ever warns you about The Heartburn. one day you go from a care free teenager who doesn't fully understand what heartburn is to a late 20-something just downing tums everyday

A Vulcan named Stork works at the Terran adoption agency. Parents always request that he be the one to deliver their child to them.

It’s years before anyone explains it to him.

People keep gifting him robes with long white birds on them.

The fun thing is he would understand why people were getting him outfits with storks on them. That’s a word, it’s his name, straightforward. All the humans get him the same gag gift, but like, they’re putting effort in at least. This is a genuinely nice outfit. Stork will be a walking zero-effort pun sometimes, rather than waste a perfectly fine robe.

It’s fine. This is a readily comprehensible human illogic. Exactly the kind of thing he expected from moving to Earth.

Six years in he finds out about the stork bringing babies.

[thesaltofcarthage]

Stork has a good long meditation session about this myth, his name, his job, the outfits, the whole shebang (or whatever Vulcan concept is the equivalent).

And he decides he’s honored by it, in a humanly illogical way.

The humans are asking him to do what is after all his job, and specifically requesting him for the joy his name brings them on top of an already agreeable and satisfying task. He has no objection to engendering positive emotions in others. Harm hastens the heat-death of the universe, Surak teaches, so happiness must logically slow it down. 

Plus, Vulcans of his generation love puns. There were two decades of punning competitions in colleges across the planet. So when he realizes that he is a walking zero-effort pun, and that the humans also love the pun, he is all for it. He is the Joe Cool of the entire Vulcan population in his city. 

And via this pun, the humans are including him in a cherished and traditional myth, by casting him as the literal bringer of life and the expander of families. 

There’s no downside. Stork wears his robes, pins, keychains, and other bird-related tchotchkes with genuine pride.

YES IT’S BACK ON MY DASH AT LAST

For real though working together with some human social workers, a Vulcan would be an excellent caretaker for children in an adoption center.

Child has a meltdown? Imagine Stork, perfectly calm and unbothered, approaching the kid and saying “You appear quite upset, Eliza. If you would please allow me to relocate you to the ‘bean-bag-chair,’ we can discuss the source of your distress.”

A Vulcan educated in medicine and child psychology would be endlessly patient with a kid with behavioral issues. Stork wouldn’t get or upset or frustrated. After all, these are children with medical and psychological conditions. It would be illogical to blame the child or to not treat them with the appropriate care.

Even if the a little one was having a bad day or was just overtired, Stork wouldn’t get angry. He might even be a calming presence. Any new kids acting out would learn real quick that they’d have better luck trying to arm-wrestle a Klingon than get a rise out of Stork.

Not only that, Vulcans live much longer than humans. Imagine Stork looking virtually unchanged as decades pass. Kids he’d helped years ago would turn up fully grown, maybe there to adopt their own kids, and run into Stork, looking almost exactly as they remember him.

And he’d probably remember them too. “Welcome back, Eliza.”

The feelings that hurt most, the emotions that sting most, are those that are absurd–The longing for impossible things, precisely because they are impossible; nostalgia for what never was; the desire for what could have been; regret over not being someone else; dissatisfaction with the world’s existence. All these half-tones of the soul’s consciousness create in us a painful landscape, an eternal sunset of what we are.

—Fernando Pessoa, from The Book of Disquiet (Pantheon, 1991, originally published in 1982)

the fact you can play wrath as a deeply loyal imperial who wants to change the empire from within for the better but you have to tiptoe and hide your motives under layers of pretend hatred. how you're the most powerful person of the empire after the absence of the emperor's voice, allowed and capable of culling the dark council if they overstep, and yet you need to constantly play a role. to love your nation but hate its ways, to be the emperor's weapon, to have even maybe be led to believe his actual motives align with yours, only to then be faced with the monster he is. to have to reject, fight, kill the very being you worship. to know you have never mattered

please play star wars the old republic
