Bah-weep-Graaaaagnah wheep ni ni bong! Call me Dante if you like. This is my multifandom and oc/c x canon blog! I'm not gonna lie it's mostly Star Wars but as you can see I'm into Transformers and Garfield and Other things.

Darth Maul is kind of my favorite character right now, so a lot of the art will be dedicated to him. I'm also really into Digital Circus right now, especially Caine.

That being said, this blog is VERY critical of Maul: Shadow Lord. If you dont like hearing those stances, this probably isnt the blog for you.

I don't align with things such as bigotry, as well as content romanticizing incest, non-con, and pedophilia. I block freely.

A lot of my art can be showcased on my art blog @hyperspaceoddity

I have a selfship account found at @maulsbeloved

There will be a some nsfw and adult content here and will be tagged as #suggestive. I prefer minors not come here.

I just wanted to draw maul and instead i made myself sad.

[the-senates-one-fear]

Everyone talks about how an Obi-Wan-Maul friendship would've been amazing had Maul been a Jedi but I really wanna see more Padme-Maul friendship

Those two were two sides of the coin when it came to Palpatine and being used as Pawns by him especially in Ep1 and I think they could've been fascinating together

[fandom-sarlacc-pit]

I kind of wonder if Maul's jealousy of other padawan's masters isn't simply "i wish your padawan like me instead" but also "I wish i had a master who looked out for me"

I don't think him denouncing compassion comes from believing it to be a lie, but also extreme jealousy, a deep pain that other people got what he never did, especially post tpm, him scrounging for a way out, back to a mother who waited 12 years, put him together, then disappeared. He spends the next several decades acting out on a pain that never went away, with no knowlege of how to make it go away

[crowandtalbot]

What gets me is how uncharacteristically compassionate Maul acts, habitually. And there's always a plausibly deniable reason to claim whatever he was doing was just pragmatic or scheming for some future gain that was never promised, was not likely, nor pays off most of the time. I have a headcanon based on this, because of the consistency, that he's not fully able to recognize compassion to the point that he doesn't recognize when he's being compassionate. Similar to my head canon that he's so unfamiliar with a healthy teacher/student relationship that he accidentally provides it by trying to do everything he wishes Sidious had done for him. Like he backwards engineers being a good teacher by doing the opposite of what Sidious did to him.

Either way I consider him a walking manifestation of the phrase "I am not getting nearly enough credit for how nice I'm being right now" because he routinely gets needled for being a self-serving Sith when he's not acting like one, until he snaps and does something horrifyingly self-serving-Sith-like.

He's like a Sith Bugs Bunny that way

[fandom-sarlacc-pit]

I think in a lot of ways he doesn't know how he comes off, for better or worse. He always slowly inches towards being kind until another bad thing happens to him, which will make him make a Bad Decision, so its an endless cycle of taking his pain out on people in a way that comes back to him later like a boomerang whenever he tries to connect with someone

[fandom-sarlacc-pit]

he said he wanted something that helps him blend in with the crowd

[fictionadventurer]

Anakin Skywalker fought a Sith Lord on a great big spaceship, stood holding a lightsaber over his disarmed (literally had his hands chopped off) opponent while Palpatine told him to kill him, and he obeyed, which started his fall to the Dark Side.

Twenty-three years later, his own son fights him on a great big spaceship, cuts off his hand, and stands over him holding a lightsaber while Palapatine tells him to deliver the killing blow. Vader is now where Count Dooku was, sitting helpless while he waits for a Jedi to kill him at the word of a Sith. To Vader, it had to seem almost like justice. This is how the story goes--Sidious takes an apprentice, then orders a Jedi to kill them, and the Jedi becomes the new Sith apprentice. Sidious will win, because Sidious always wins, and the cycle will go on, because darkness always creates new darkness to destroy it. Luke will make the killing blow, because Vader's given him good reason to, and then Luke will become enslaved to Sidious and the dark, until the day he is inevitably betrayed and killed himself...

But then Luke tosses aside the lightsaber.

It must have been like light breaking through the darkness, to receive mercy in the situation where you yourself had no mercy. To see your son be stronger than you were, because back then you had not known that it was strength to refuse to use power. This boy who's so much like you found a way to break the cycle and refuse the chains that waited for him. The story doesn't have to end the way it always does. He found a way to defeat the darkness by refusing to give the darkness what it wants...

Anyway, it's such a perfect parallel.

[teaboot]

I genuinely believe that the new SW trilogy wouldn’t have flopped out into irrelevance like it did if they hadn’t dumped Finn on the side of the freeway like a new pet rabbit the week after easter

[teaboot]

Anyway in my heart Finn became a Jedi alongside Rey and inspired a Stormtrooper insurrection and Kyle Ron went back to his mom like he should have day fucking one and that angry redhead dude blew up with the star destroyer and Poe got to make it happen and at the end Rey doesn’t give a shit who her bitch ass non-palpatine parents might have been because she gets her new family like she needed and palpatine stays dead at the bottom of his musty hole like he should have and Finn and Poe give each other approximately 130% the amount of lingering meaningful looks and then one of their run-together-to-reunite moments results in a heat-of-the-moment make out like it should have and Luke and Leia meet in person a minimum of once so she can sibling slap him at least once for being a useless dramatic old hermit for a billion years and tell him to get the Chanel boots back on and stop being a sad hobo and then for no reason at all there is an ewok style moon of Endor forest party at the end like God intended

[wintergardenscribe]

never forget that Leia Organa strangled the most powerful gangster in the galaxy using the chain he bound her with. DOUBLE never forget that in doing so she unknowingly killed the mastermind behind the system that had held her father and grandmother in slavery for decades

Somebody mentions a mall

Me:

[eatingmossandsinning]

Extremely curious as to the logic behind saying that Maul identifies more with the nightsisters than nightbrothers. This makes zero sense to me. The fact that Maul IS a nightbrother is not just a technicality or some random background detail. Why would he relate more to the ruling class of Dathomir than to the people who actually reflect what he was? The nightbrothers were the ones dominated and discarded by a system that treated them as tools/slaves. That's far closer to Maul's lived experience than anything the nightsisters represent. He's a Zabrak male taken from his people and enslaved into another hierarchy of control. It was just Sidious doing the subjugating rather than the nightsisters (though Talzin obviously played a large part). Yeah he has a level of devotion to Talzin but that doesn't mean he identifies with the nightsisters? Talzin is a representation in his head of the concept of family and origin that were taken from him. Maul clings to that because he's been consistently cut off from connection his entire life, not because he identifies with an oppressive matriarchal ruling structure?

This gives me the same vibes as the "Maul is feminist because he grew up under a matriarchy" bullshit. I don't understand the desire to portray the nightsisters as some kind of positive influence in Maul's life (or, frankly, any desire to portray them as a whole positively in any context).

[fandom-sarlacc-pit]

he was using nightsister magick in rebels, but i see it as kind of a reclamation of pwer, also it was used expressly to find obi wan. He was willing to do anything, even enrage the spirits of a group that absolutely didnt want him to do that.

I think its kind of gross to think he identifies with the slave owners just because he wants more power and agency

[eatingmossandsinning]

Yeah him using magick reads like reclamation or even desperation to me. It absolutely does not mean he sees himself in the class that subjugated people like him and if anything assuming he identifies with the slave owners because he’s using their tools just feels like an awful misread of his entire relationship to power and survival

[fandom-sarlacc-pit]

Its pretty gross honestly. How people will just collectively dismiss the fact that the nightbrothers are slaves. Then again, fandom will be fandom -_-

[eatingmossandsinning]

Seriously. And it’s not helped by the fact that it’s not really given the time of day in canon either. Giant blaring issue that is so consistently sidestepped and pretty much never given any worthwhile in universe commentary. Combine that with general fandom’s persistent lack of critical thinking and we get so much bullshit

[fandom-sarlacc-pit]

Combine that with fandoms persistent racism Yeah it seems people can't like something critically
