I'll be right behind you

[forcemended]

#forcemended, a Star Wars multimuse. Sideblog to @rebelresolve. Featuring muses formerly at forcemend, hyperspacedream, fireacrossthegalaxy, aftermathempress, and gotthemizels, among others.

Rules:

All rules that apply on Hera apply here. In addition, you must be following me there first.

This blog is low activity and selective, and will not use icons.

As this blog is attached to my Hera account, muses with ties to Hera will use my Hera's canon (unless the thread is with another Hera muse).

Muses currently available:

Kanan Jarrus. (they/them) Jedi survivor. Reluctant rebel. Still struggling, but growing. [formerly fireacrossthegalaxy] Rae Sloane. (she/her) Imperial loyalist. "Principled". The Empire's last hope. [formerly aftermathempress] Mizel Pomdak. (he/him) Aspiring rebel. Young runaway. Voluntary child soldier. [formerly gotthemizels]

[forcemended]

totally random detail I just remembered:

in my main canon for Mizel, his story ends with him being one of the rebel soldiers struck down by Vader at the end of Rogue One. certain other verses (see the verse with him and Ezra having kids) survive past that, but that's the default.

[forcemended]

random thing that came to mind:

my kanan, rather than the really short choppy haircut, simply lets their hair down as their dramatic last-minute visual change. still shaves the beard tho

[fireacrossthegalaxy-a-blog]

“Am I perfect? No. Do I know anything about raising kids? No. Should I have picked up a holo on parenting? Probably–”

“–Where was I going with this? I had a point.”

[arandomnerdsrp358]

”Ypu promise? You’re gonna be there for me even when I’m as old as you are?”

[forcemended]

They paused for a moment, considering how to word it. Death was a reality he'd need to make peace with; but hopefully, one far off for now. "As long as I'm still here, I'll be backing you up. No matter how old either of us gets." They offered him a grin, a reassurance they had no intention of going anywhere anytime soon.

While on the subject of pronouns actually, a fun little quirk about my nb Kanan: they actually still refer to Caleb as "he". It very much has to do with distancing/disconnecting themself from their old identity and treating Caleb as a different person (see the classic "Caleb Dume is dead, I barely remember the guy") and all those Definitely Normal and Healthy Coping Mechanisms they have.

[forcemended]

(( fun fact: my kanan originally used both he and they pronouns when I first started writing them. unfortunately I had the biggest issue with people just straight up ignoring me and treating them as a cis man even when I made it clear over and over that they weren't, so that resulted in the rpc losing their he/him privileges with kanan. ))

[forcemended]

(( a headcanon I wanna bring back from the old blog: Kanan's scars in-universe are much more gruesome than we the audience get to see, looking more like this (tw gore/eye trauma) than just a simple line across the face. That's part of why they keep the mask on; they know their face is unsettling for other people to look at. ))

He leaned forward and touched their foreheads together.

“I think I understand. And I think I can try to be brave sometimes. Other times things just seem too scary.”

[forcemended]

"Well, when things get too scary, you'll have your mom and I to help. We'll always be here for you. Promise." They gently bumped their forehead against his, a gesture they'd picked up from Hera.

@arandomnerdsrp358 from x

"I'm not? That's news to me." Kanan moved to be more towards eye level with Jacen; it wasn't as if they could see him either way, but still. "Jedi get scared, too. We just learn to be brave, even when we're scared. You understand?"

[forcemended]

Kanan has had to ask Hera to check their perceptions before, particularly when blind. "Hera, is there anyone in the cargo hold?" She checks for them and confirms it's just cargo, and then helps ground them, usually with gentle touches and humming.

‘ shut up. i’m n-not s-s-scared. ’

"Yeah? You're braver than I am, kid." They grinned at him for a moment before dropping their voice a little, something softer and gentler. "—It's okay to be scared, you know."

Mizel Pomdak

Born as an average human to an average human family on an average planet in the Mid Rim, Mizel Pomdak could have easily been an Imperial loyalist. His parents were; while they didn't work for the Empire, they happily ate up the propaganda coming across the networks. But Mizel? Mizel knew better.

He was only a kid, but he could already tell when the Empire was lying. He just didn't know what to do about it. That was, until a brave young boy the same age as him sent out a message— stand up and fight. If this boy could fight for a better galaxy, he could too. Mizel ran away from home and sought out the Rebellion; he wanted to do his part, too.

As it turns out, war was a lot different than he was expecting. Less heroic stands against the enemy, a lot more equipment checks and ship repair. But Mizel did his duty, and learned to fight as he went. All the while, he tried to shut out the part of him wondering what he was even doing here, trying to fight in a war he had no place in.

Notes:

In his primary verse, Mizel is a teenager. That said, for timeline reference he is roughly the same age as Ezra and Luke.

My main canon has Mizel remain with the Phoenix group under Commander Sato (and later General Syndulla), rather than going to Kinrah with Commander Ryden.

Since the actual canon we know about Mizel is very small, 95% of his canon is my own concoction.

Kanan Jarrus

Once upon a time, there was a young Jedi Padawan by the name of Caleb Dume. Caleb's story ended in tragedy, like so many others, at Order 66. Or at least, that was how the story was told. But like the very phoenix legend the rebels used so often, from the ashes of young Caleb was a new figure reborn— the story of Kanan Jarrus, Jedi Knight.

Kanan had been in hiding until a chance encounter on the planet Gorse, where they met the freedom fighter Hera Syndulla. After tapping into their long dormant Force abilities to save her, they were (somewhat reluctantly) recruited into her cause against the Empire, though still keeping their abilities a secret from the rest of the galaxy.

And then years later, on Lothal, something changed. They encountered a young boy, Ezra, with an incredible gift— the same force powers they had. He was only 14; the same age Caleb had been. Remembering how much they needed that guidance back then, they decide to train him; in doing so, they embrace their old past, taking up the mantle of Jedi Knight once again.

Notes:

My Kanan is nonbinary and uses they/them pronouns exclusively. They don't mind being called "dad", but other than that prefer neutral terms to masculine ones, and will correct you if you mess up.

They've had issues with hallucinations before, issues which get more pronounced once they're blinded, as they have one less sense with which to check their perceptions. These hallucinations mimic (but are distinctly different from) Force visions.

They relapsed hard on their alcohol addiction post-Malachor. They hid it from the crew at first, but were eventually found out, and had to slowly (with their help) try to break the dependency again. It takes time.
