Ellie. She/her. Officially in the Middle Ages. I write sometimes. Mostly Star Wars (SWTOR specifically), but will reblog/talk about tv, books, games and movies I've been consuming.
These are my characters in Satele Shan and Star Forge Servers. I've divided them into Legacies and within them into Group A and Group B. Group A are the main characters of that universe (and who I'm most like will talk/write fanfics about), while Group B are supportive characters (maybe brief mentions).
Info about them is not complete because I'm still playing each character (some of them are rerolled), but I will be adding and changing things to their profile.
The Starlight Legacy
(Star forge & satele shan server)
Group A:
Eris Wynborne** (Jedi Knight)
Ino Vidal** (Imperial Agent)
Sunni Marilo** (Smuggler)
Group B: Qamar Marilo(Jedi Knight), Deimos Fye (Imperial Agent), Deianira Che'ssi nee. Vidal (trooper), Lady Baizein (Warrior)

"To the best of my knowledge, that was the first show that truly approached the look of the TV show itself in terms of cinema in terms of, "How much of the story can we tell visually?" "How much can we make this look like not just a movie but a really wonderfully shot movie?" - Vince Gilligan on what he learned from The X-files
saw someone promote a book with a collage of out of context negative reviews recently, and i thought it'd be fun to do for some of the older lgbt sci-fi books i've read
do y'all know what i mean when i say that lana's voice is soothing. i send her on a crew skill mission and when she comes back she says "all squared away," and you know what! i fully believe that. in lana's hands, things are well and truly squared away
Artfight day 15!
Today I caught up doing 3 fast portrait revenges to these beautiful ladies~

I collected all the “comic” pages from my AU where Luke is a Senator and Leia is on her journey to becoming a Jedi. It’s not one continuous story - just a collection of little snippets 🫶🏼
i’m watching the x-files for the first time. thirty years too late but hey…
mulder casually remembering exactly what scully wrote her graduate thesis on is, unfortunately, one of the hottest things i’ve ever seen a fictional man do
the bar is simultaneously in hell and somehow incredibly specific
So can we talk about the scene in The Search For Spock when Kirk and co. have gotten onto the Enterprise and are about to steal it
And Kirk tells them they can back out and everyone says, of course, hell no
And we get this most adorable album cover of smiles
And then Kirk with this look of utter adoration tells them to get to their stations
And everyone else goes off to a console to actually do something
But Bones just immediately walks over to stand next to the Captain’s chair and offer commentary, because he clearly considers his “station” to literally be that of Kirk’s right-hand man
So here’s the interesting thing about where McCoy stands (and I admit, I seized on the “right-hand man” pun without fully thinking about McCoy’s usual stance).
McCoy stands on Kirk’s left side, and the left side of the captain’s chair, most of the time.
But there are some exceptions.
Most of them have something to do with a disruption to the natural order of things (Kirk in the middle, McCoy to his left, Spock to his right). The first kind of disruption is when Kirk isn’t captain at the moment.
When Bones is fighting with the idea of Spock as leader (the middle of The Tholian Web, The Galileo Seven) he tends to stand on his left. It seems to be a visual representation of McCoy refusing to relinquish his traditional spot on Jim’s left side, and thus refusing to accept a change in leadership.
When McCoy is supporting Spock as temporary captain while Jim is in peril (The Doomsday Machine, the end of The Tholian Web, Arena), he stands on Spock’s right side.
The clearest example of this is in Arena, where he starts in his normal spot and moves over when he fully registers what’s happened; he literally invites Spock into the chair, and then moves to Spock’s normal spot.
At the end of The Tholian Web, he’s still to Kirk’s left, but to Spock’s right.
The second type of disruption occurs when Spock is in danger. When Spock is out of the picture, or when McCoy is extremely worried for Spock, he tends to stand on Jim’s right, where Spock should be. This happens both on the Bridge (Operation: Annihilate!)
and elsewhere (A Private Little War).
This also happens when Spock is taken over by an alien entity, such as Kollos (Is There in Truth No Beauty?) You can see McCoy saving Spock’s rightful spot here.
When Spock has been taken over by Henoch (Return to Tomorrow) and is in the captain’s chair, McCoy is desperately trying to save his life: again, standing at his right side.
The best representation of the “Spock in Peril Switch,” though, is in The Immunity Syndrome. After Spock leaves the ship, McCoy stands at Jim’s right - both by the Captain’s chair and everywhere else.
It’s like he’s keeping Spock’s spot warm; he always has hope that Spock will return, and speaks to this perhaps more directly in this episode than any other (until, of course, his speech to Spock’s comatose body in The Search For Spock). “Spock. Is it me, Jim? Am I so sentimental that I just have to keep believing that he’s still alive in that mass of protoplasm?” Even Spock makes a joke that McCoy is out of order, calling him “Captain McCoy.”
But as soon as they find out Spock’s alive and they’re pulling him to safety? Watch McCoy move.
So, yes, upon more thought, that seems to be what Bones is doing here. He’s keeping hope (and Spock) alive, standing in his place, and keeping it safe for him.
Please may I jump in and add that McCoy being on Kirk’s left is also significant because the heart is to the left and McCoy represents the pure emotion of Kirk’s character is this anything??
I always considered Ino Vidal as the type of professional that liked to keep everything personal very close to her chest (her name, her family, her allies, her life partner, etc etc.)
"my old friend"
It makes sense. While Theron is showing a rift between the alliance, Ino is going to keep as much as she can in-house. and she's not going to blast to the whole world Theron is breaking her heart with this nonsense.
But then she does this!
"I love you, Theron. Come home." "I love you too...but I can't."
The Great Cipher Nine showing her heart?? to the entire galaxy??
And this can't be a private channel because they don't know what ship he's flying. It's the whole point of the galactic wide message. No wonder Marcus Trant makes that comment later.
Rookanis Leyendecker study for @datvcompanionweeks Lucanis week!
After all, it is the Year of the Horse.
Hope it's ok to use that free day prompt a little early~

and our beloved jedi that i decided to also do an age progression of. id given a lot of thought as to what zanya looked like as a child (because his childhood coincided with osiris, kivo and kadasha's) but not so much his sister. given i think she's adorable until she starts experiencing the horrors, so this is still a win-win for everyone.
a few errant details below :)
ekta actually wasn't the one to bring cele to coruscant, another master was. in fact, she'd been off world at the time, and came back a few years later to a child that looked ... eerily like her. she was pretty content to think that this surely wasn't the child that she'd given up for adoption.
cele however is LOUD in the force as a child. and ekta recognizes her as much as cele is aware of her presence. like any daughter, she's drawn to her mother, even if she doesn't understand why. the jedi allowed her to keep the medallion she gave to the twins, and her suspicions are confirmed once she sees it. her daughter had made her way back to her.
this was also how ekta found out the ariideks were dead. she'd been keeping tabs on the them because she (selfishly) kept tabs on them at the orphanage and was told a few years prior that zanya had been adopted out. she was devastated for months to find out her other daughter was dead -- and that she hadn't known.
that colors her relationship with cele a great deal. she wants to be protective over her, wants to build that relationship, but every time she even considers it, that genuine fear of responsibility to someone else rears its ugly head and she banishes the thought from her mind. considering zanya was already gone, she felt guilty for failing at being a mother (twice), and buried that guilt in work.
the sacking left major scars on cele as the eldest of the creche children at the time. her being able to misdirect soldiers and sith alike at her age meant that she could get the other children away from the fighting and hide them from the worst of their captors. she was looked up to afterwards by rhys, sylas and yoshiko as their elder psuedo-sister.
however, and what haunts her the most, is losing adamori. one of the youngest at the time, and because she had been trying too hard to calm one of the other children, she'd never noticed that he was gone. had never seen him taken, at least. for decades afterwards, she was convinced he was dead -- and that she let it happen.
(well. thats a strong word. a sith lord lured him away, which wasn't on her but she considers it to be her fault.)
cele is never quite the same afterwards, even if she acts like she is. her acts of heroism put her on the radar of the jedi at the temple, and when they resettled the majority of them to tython, cele was fast tracked into proper combat training. because of this, she molded to the expectations of someone far older than fourteen quite quickly ... and struggled in the aftermath because she refused to ask for help.
she knows the younger kids needed her at the time, and thats how she excuses not taking care of herself or her mental state. what's more true is that she was just afraid to face whatever lurked inside of her. she didn't want to slip backwards into those hours and days of terror. she didn't want to relive it all. so instead she separates her understanding of herself from the child she'd been and pretends to be older and more mature than she is. she doesn't want to let anyone else down.
little bit of parentification going on, since a lot of the creche children were split up to be on different worlds. these four stuck together, and cele became a mentor to them -- someone they could go to when they were scared and the like. it helps ... and is very detrimental because it just acts as a stopgap to keep her from facing her own problems.
cele really just wants to be enough for ekta to eventually take her on as a padawan, but by then ekta hadn't taken one in years. but she was a prolific jedi knight, and cele wanted to measure up to her more than anything. ekta kept pushing her away and this just made her even more determined.
she and ekta just don't see eye to eye a lot. ekta is far more straightforward, while cele will do anything to save someone else or prevent a mission from garnering too many casualties. she's a bleeding heart in a galaxy that wants her dead, and ekta has been trying to curb this behavior for years indirectly.
shes VERY strongwilled by the time she becomes an adult, and this does make her difficult with the masters who want her to remember her place. thing is, she has the ability to back up a lot of her plans. she also is very capable at a very young age -- and struggles to connect with her peers. she presumes this is just the price of being a jedi.
(she knows exactly what's wrong with her. has been to jedi therapy. keeps not looking at the real issues and assumes more training will fix her)
(doubly, she will do ANYTHING to control herself. even if it means encountering blackouts and ignoring her body and mind until it shuts down. control will make her a better jedi. control will make her more perfect. control will fix her. everything. surely.)
sacrificial lamb alert. she was like this even before the class story started, and while it wasn't malicious, the jedi knew she could be leaned on. depended upon. they kept pushing her, she kept meeting the challenges, and they never let up on her because she just never broke.
so. repression central. cele never acknowledges the trauma of being there on coruscant during the sacking, never acknowledges the feeling of emptiness she keeps trying to fill with new achievements and experiences, and never acknowledges how many times she cracks down the middle and keeps repairing herself. she's scared and terrified, but puts on a brave face and takes charge so that shes never the one that falters.
