Hi again, it’s the anon who asked about the header image! Thanks for the detailed response, the art is beautiful! I’ve searched everywhere and couldn’t find a high resolution image of the back cover. Which made me wonder how you got the header image, unless you have a copy of the book? If you have access to it, would you be able to share the full image pls?? 😭🙏🏼
(sorry if the request is too much, thank you for taking the time to answer!)
you know. i didn't. even think about that. i actually have no idea?? i made this header back in 2023 and i have no idea where i got the pic i'm so sorry anon 😭 i did look around in my files and found the original version + the full version of my color balance edit! (i did some lilac overlay lol)
hopefully this is a bit helpful, sorry i don't have the full image! chaos rising is the only special edition i don't have sadly!
Hi! I was wondering where you got your header image from? I’m looking for the full image of the Thrawn art and this is the closest I’ve found to it. Thanks and have a great day!
hi there! it's from Magali Villeneuve's cover of the Chaos Rising special edition (with color balancing by me). her art is also used for the French paperback editions. it's surprisingly hard to find a good image of the back cover but someone on Reddit reposted an image from Del Rey here: https://www.reddit.com/r/starwarscanon/comments/jvfauy/del_rey_offers_a_look_at_the_final_version_of_the/
enjoy! i love her covers a lot, you should look up the other two as well if you haven't seen them!

Vah’nya had told him it was a rite of passage for Chiss mid-agers who could get away with it—sneaking off from their academy’s campus with a gaggle of older students to the nearest sketchy mall shop and getting a piercing.
Most Chiss liked to get them on various pressure points on their distinct facial ridges (something about relieving stress headaches before final exams or something) but as Ezra didn’t exactly have those (an unfortunate fact of human physiology, Vah’nya had sighed) he’d just have to deal with an ear piercing.
Ezra and Vah’nya do teenage (mid-ager?) rebellion.

It was something he had only thought about in small instants over the years, memories blurred and shattered through trauma and time as the Ghost made cold stops in deep space—the specter of his mother’s arm around his shoulders, the warmth of his father’s breath in his hair.
It was a normal thing for families on Lothal, especially in the winter, to keep together in sleep and protect each other from Llop’s hungry and prowling dream-seers.
It was strange yet comforting that something so close to him was here, in the middle of the Unknown Regions. He felt something tight around his heart, something wrapped there from his days on Lothal’s streets, loosen slightly.
Ezra takes his first steps into Chiss cultural norms.
So this is late, but can i interest anyone in some background characters?
Lakris and Frosif actually getting to eat their breakfast fritters (featuring a photobombing yubal)
(I’ve never seen any other Agbui fanart so have my headcanon interpretation of “Their facial skin was a mess of dark red and off-white folds, the mix of the the two colors seemingly at random……Their mouths were lipless slits tucked away amid all the folds. Their eyes were black and yet, somehow, bright and clear. All three wore wraparound robes: ……dark blue for the other two, all three robes with patterns of silver woven into the cloth.” along with “…her long fingers…” (and also “the heavy checkered brown one with the brass sealer teeth” for Lakris’ jacket))
I just wanted to drop by and say thank you for organizing this week! I really enjoyed having prompts to work on as I try to work on my art style, and I super appreciate all the kind comments you and everyone else have made ☺️
oh that's wonderful to hear!! i'm so glad you enjoyed the event, and it was a delight to see your pieces (: thanks so much for participating! 💜
Gen Ascendancy sounded so fun, and I wanted to do something for it, but writing was really hard this week so this is pretty much all I've got. I have other ideas floating around, we'll see what happens.
First off, Bomarmo and Che'ri for birdwatching (kinda). (also "Cohbo'mar'molade" isn't mine, that idea is courtesy @/dinjoyer, I just moved the apostrophe)
Che’ri sat down under the tree with a thud. She didn’t want to explain everything to these people, she didn’t want to keep track of her sleep and her food and her nightmares and her everything. She wanted to be back on the Springhawk, she wanted to be back with the crew and back with Thrawn and back flying again.
She winced. But that had gotten them in trouble, so…
She looked out over the field. Same old field, same old packbulls, same same same. She let her head thunk back against the bark instead, and closed her eyes. Maybe she could at least get a nap in before Thalias or Borika came looking for her.
Less than five minutes later, she heard footsteps, and resisted the urge to groan. Not even five minutes? Really?
“I don’t think you’re supposed to be out here alone,” a voice said. Che’ri startled. That was a man’s voice, not Borika or Thalias. She shot to attention, blinking quickly to try and adjust her eyes to see in the bright sunlight.
A sturdy man was standing a few meters away, giving her an amused look. She sighed in relief. She’d seen Borika talking to him sometimes–at least he wasn’t a complete stranger. She’d be in so much trouble if she got seen by a stranger.
But she still didn’t know who he was.
“Who are you?”
He took a couple steps closer as he answered. “Cohbo’mar’molade. Bomarmo. It’s nice to meet you.”
She watched him suspiciously as he continued to approach, stopping just a few feet away. Cohbo. Borika was a Cohbo…
“I’ve seen you talking to Borika sometimes.”
He smiled. “I should hope so, she’s my wife.”
Che’ri blinked. W– Wife? Borika was married?
“…oh.”
He laughed. “That’s alright. She doesn’t exactly share much. I’m the farmer here, that’s where your cover story comes from. Borika helps occasionally, but I’m the one maintaining the farm.”
Ohhh. She… really should’ve figured that someone had to be keeping the packbulls and all the other farm things that made them not look suspicious. Thrawn would’ve noticed.
“Hey now, don’t worry about it. You’ve got much more important things to worry about.” He pulled a face. “And speaking of, what’s got you so wound? You seemed upset.”
Her eyes narrowed. She barely even knew him, he was just some guy–well, he was Borika’s husband… and he clearly knew about the project here if he was the cover story…
“I don’t want to be here.”
He gave her a sad smile, and she scowled.
“Don’t pity me! I’m not a child, I don’t need your–”
“Hey now, calm down. I’m not pitying you, I’m sympathizing. I’ve seen so many of you girls come here, and I know how hard it can be. Not to mention, I’d like to think I know Bo pretty well, and she went through the same things you did.”
Che’ri words died in her mouth at his interruption. She sighed.
He’s not the one I’m mad at…
“Alright, what do you like to do? Obviously I can’t take you off the property, but–”
Che’ri’s eyes widened. “Wait, you aren’t going to go get Borika or Thalias to bring me back??”
He chuckled quietly. “No. You deserve some time off, everyone does. Say, the Grand Migration is supposed to pass over soon–not all of it, Ool’s not on too many of the paths, but there should be a whole lot of guese flying overhead soon. What about you and me go up to the hill, and climb the tree there to watch?”
She stared at him. He… She’d met him not 5 minutes ago, hadn’t even introduced herself, was breaking the rules, and he wanted… to take her birdwatching?
Also, birdwatching?
She made a face, and he laughed. “I know, it’s not the most exciting activity. But these aren’t normal guese, they’re rare. All sorts of fun colours, and there’s sure to be a lot of them. We’ve lived here for years now, and I’ve always loved watching them fly overhead like some kind of rippling river of an abstract painting.”
Painting.
“………okay.”
He grinned, and she couldn’t help but think how she’d barely ever seen a grin like that before. Especially not on an adult, or an adult man. Samakro certainly didn’t grin, and Thrawn barely even smiled. Samakro also didn’t smile much, but that was usually ‘cause he was grumpy.
He offered her a hand up, and tentatively, she took it.
As they started to walk off toward the hill, she fiddled with the edge of her sleeve. “I…” He glanced at her. “I’m Che’ri.”
CEDF Girl’s night at the spa for some “Relaxation”
(Samakro puts up with enough that he’s always invited)
Day 7 - hot springs/self care/spa day to round off @gen-ascendancy week!
A relaxing time for our favorite Chiss - Thalias and Wutroow are enjoying themselves but also wondering if they should tell Thrass and Ar'alani that Thrawn is trying to run away from the spring and cause mayhem, Thrass and Ar'alani are not dealing with it since they refuse to open their eyes and see it, and Samakro is having a nice time with his little toy
Thank you so much @gen-ascendancy's Mod Molly (@lilac-vode) for hosting this wonderful event!
Random headcanon that Chiss are somewhat sensitive to heat, but still enjoy hot springs
Great Migration/Birdwatching for @gen-ascendancy week!
A day late because I forgot yesterday ooooops. But I had a lot of fun experimenting with painting landscapes for this one! Thalias enjoying a little sightseeing vacation
Thrass disguised Thrawn and friends to let them into a restricted area of an art museum, but Thrawn's overreaction to a rare Thomoro the Tragic's portrait is embarrassing Thrass, while Samakro is politely curious and Thalias is intrigued
I spent way too long on the portrait that I am still not happy with, and almost missed posting today
Che’ri convinced Senior Captain Thrawn to help her make a cake (which really means Thrawn baked and she ate the extra icing)
