The False Herald

Chapter 1: Prologue

In ages past the Avatar rose unbroken, cycle after cycle, nation after nation.
From water to earth, from earth to fire, balance was kept
though the Nations would falter.

In the days before our glory, the Avatar was Rwoh, 
Of stone and soil, yet even she could not shield the world from decay.

Then was Anakin born, the destined flame.
He who was raised from bondage, chosen by the Emperor’s wisdom
The truest son of the cycle
of Fire.

Yet envy stirs in barren hearts.
The Air Nomads, who cloaked themselves in secrecy, whispered rebellion.
They plotted war and in their secret halls they bent unlawfully—

Severing spirits
binding what should not be bound
daring to wield the forbidden arts.

When their treachery was revealed
the Emperor’s hand struck swift.
With righteous flame, the Nomads were struck down.

Upon Mustafar’s burning slope, the last heretic arose
And was struck down forever.

So the burden fell to Fire: to guard what is fragile,
to kindle what is fading,
to temper what is wild.

My life I give to my country.
With my hands I fight for Fire and Avatar and all before them.
With my mind I seek ways to better my nation.
And with my feet may our Empire’s march continue.

Good news: I finally sat down and finished my drawing of Icarus. I really tried my best on this one :’)

Bad news… no fic tonight, guys.🥀

I’m leaving Icarus here to watch over you though :^) he has a really specific bed-time routine in place for you btw. Failure to comply will result in him doing it himself.

Kinky bastard this one….

[chaoticookie-autonomous]

Yessss!

[maulsearpiercing]

that slutty little foot on the throne he’s such a punk

[maulsscream]

one thing i noticed about maul shadow lord is how often we get to see the pov of the character fighting maul and i have to say it is terrifying

[necro-lag]

This type of image make me so sad because- he could just do that? He was that confident on his own body to be able to make acrobatics like that and not hesitate a second? How much time did he spend training and repeating exercises to be that flexible?

[inkybyl]

No because not only is flexibility an absolute pain to upkeep (speaking from experience) - I don’t think he was taught in an exactly caring and encouraging manner.

I saw a video that spoke about how in Maul’s fight against Vader, they’re both so similar but so different. Maul relies on acrobatic advantages over his opponents, whereas Vader is pure strength and brutality.

They both have cybernetic limbs, and even though Maul constantly shows how skilled and dexterous he still is, he still rejects them - he loathes them. It’s a constant reminder of how one slip up, person, took away his destiny. Not only that, it’s clear in The Phantom Menace how prideful he was, he never missed an opportunity to display his skills because they were just a part of him and how he moved - his body had become the weapon it was most likely broken to be.

Vader uses his limbs to his advantage and can literally force his way through anyone’s defence or fancy movement. He has his connection to the Force and augmented limbs to fight, and he uses them. He is Vader. Anakin is no more, literally just the monster that consumed him. You can’t guard against brute force.

But Maul is still Maul, he’s still clinging onto the child that was forced into a destiny that he was groomed for - his body broken down in the process no doubt - when who he was is literally not possible anymore. He has adapted, but not in the ways he needs to. Having all that skill and talent, and knowing that all of your hard work was gone within a second, then you’re left discarded and forgotten? Yeah, it’s no wonder he’s clinging onto the person he was - he was at his own peak.

Maul dual wielding with a reverse grip is something I didn’t know I needed but I’m so grateful for it

One thing that struck me about Maul episode 8 was how stilted the dialogue Savage & Maul had in Maul’s trauma visions.

A lot of people are treating it as if this happened in objective reality, that Shadow Lord retconned his backstory. But I think this is what Maul wants his backstory to be, and in typical Maul fashion, deluded himself into believing. Honestly, I don’t think he remembers the truth. Anyhoo the dialogue felt oddly canned because it felt so…convenient for Maul.

He wants to believe that he had companionship before Sidious, that he was something before him. He’s a really lonely guy. He wants a benign brother figure that could’ve offered him a different path. All the evidence suggests that he & Savage weren’t even raised together, but since Savage is the closest thing to family Maul’s ever had, it makes sense he would project these desires onto him. Especially the “what have you done with my brother?” line.

Maul (through Savage) is putting all of the agency upon Sidious. Sidious corrupted him, Sidious ruined him, Sidious is responsible for all of the cruelty Maul inflicted upon Savage. Which, in a sense, is partly true, but not in the way Maul thinks it is. Sidious abused and warped him, yes, but Maul makes the choice to emulate him by being similarly cruel. Maul doesn’t want to confront this though. So instead we get Savage (a representation of companionship Maul desperately wants, the perfect life he believes he could’ve had without Sidious) standing up to man. Lets pretend that everything in the visions happened in reality Be honest. If Savage had said that in reality, do you think Palpatine would’ve let him live? He’s not one to take insults lightly. Do you think Savage would’ve had the courage to stick up to a Sith Lord? Or that he would be blaming Sidious for “changing his brother” rather than Maul making the decision to leave?

He didn’t even remember Savage’s last words correctly. In Maul’s vision, he said “Avenge me” but in reality he said “Brother. I'm an unworthy apprentice. I'm not like you. I never was.”

Maul doesn’t want to acknowledge the cruelty he inflicted upon Savage. Savage’s dying words were about how inadequate Maul made him feel. He doesn’t want to remember that. So he doesn’t. Given Maul’s fate, he is doomed to repeat that abuse again. Making a pantomime of the dynamic he had with a brother that never existed, again and again, with Devon, with Ezra, failing to see the truth of it. Which is incredibly sad.

UUHHHHNNNGAGAHAHHANNANAANANANAANNAANANNSSNGDMMDM HIS SMIRK PLEASE AHHH THE THE WHEN HE AND THE HHHHHHHHHHH

HE CAN SEDUCE ME TO THE DARK SIDE ANYTIME PLEASE I WELCOME IT AUUAHHAHAHSSJJ

[thankyoujangofett]

Are they gonna give us a proper 4k image/rig of young Maul from episode 8? I’d love to see his design in full, same with young Savage. Those two were so freaking cute.

[daturyx]

This idea popped into my head after watching Maul Shadow Lord ep 8. I got kinda emotional seeing him think about Savage. I wondered if he ever knew about Feral too. But here’s a piece dedicating to all 3 of them!

[is-that-sand-in-my-waffles]

he is the most lost anyone has been. maybe ever.
