relistening to Taz and I'm really enjoying listening to each arc and relating it to the relevant bird.

like yeah here there be gerblins is about lup it's about you should have thought about that before throwing my dog in the fire, it's about falling in love with Barry Bluejeans, it's about trying to save so many people but failing, it's desperate odds and flying away from a disaster you couldn't avert, it's about being bitten in the back by an earlier decision to trust someone.

murder on the Rockport Limited is about Dav. It's about seeing the truth behind the illusion. it's about a town of people all with the same face. it's about losing the driver and trying to save the vehicle without him. it's about the youngest member of the crew holding a book that catches the truth and stops it reaching its destination. it's about beheading and loss of identity. It's about remembering to get your roommate pringles

petals to the metal is about Merle. It's about don't be chopping on these sweet sweet babies. it's about reaching out to someone you love who has been consumed by a power they can't fully control. it's about dying in the hope they can be saved. it's about racing as fast as you can, with all that you have, in the hope that something can be saved in the end.

crystal kingdom is about taako. it's about loving someone you've lost so much you'd turn the world to crystal to try and save them. it's about Kravitz. its about learning more from thousands of realities to make new and wonderful things. its about walking through your legacy. its about the best sandwich and taako's good out here. its about seven birds being seen, its about the thousands of lives that Boyland touched

the eleventh hour is about Magnus. It's about rustic hospitality. it's about recklessly breaking reality trying to protect people you love. it's about fate and choices you make in life. it is being a small town hero. it is making promises and keeping them. it's about the downfall of a corrupt leader and the people he took down on his way. it's about fallen temples and burnt out buildings. it's about embracing the inevitable and holding the hand of the clock that strikes your doom as the weapon that will save you

the suffering game is about Barry. It's about looping through endless pain again and again in the hopes of reaching a dream. it's about liches and death and love. it's about losing your body and being saved from permanent death by the power of your friends' love. it's about working out how things are working and then pulling them apart to understand them. it's about choosing to lose everything in the hopes that it might let you save something. arms outstretched. trust Barry, love Barry

the stolen century is about Lucretia. it's one hundred years of journals. It's learning world after world and watching them die. It's working to protect those you love by saving the light. It's about running away again and again, and loving only in goodbyes. it's about being alone and dying again and again. It's about bonds growing stronger even as something comes relentlessly to consume them

story and song is about the starblaster flying into, not away from the storm. it's about hear that babe, we're legends. it's about bringing together all the arcs and all the relics into one hope to undo mistakes. it's about the magic in a bardsong. it's about the light of creation being used as a barrier against darkness.

2nd STARWARS/DAEMON AU POST!!!!! This time with the CC's and the Disaster Lineage!

Obi-Wan: Maned Wolf (Kee-Ayt)

Anakin: Lion (maned female lioness) (Asieko)

Ahsoka: Gryfalcon (Tuex)

Cody: German Shepherd (Beskar)

Rex: Siberian Husky (Queen)

Wolffe: Wolfdog (Whitefang)

Fox: Doberman Pinscher (Vulpe)

Bly: American Akita (Lyra)

LORE TIME: first off! Jedi! So I thought a lot about how daemons and Jedi should work. I did end up deciding that Jedi GENERALLY have bird daemons (like the witches in His Dark Material), BUT not always. The Jedi having bird daemons is not a ‘All Force Sensitives Have Daemons Who Settle As Birds’ thing. It wouldn’t make sense in this AU since Force-sensitivity is a spectrum and at what level would someone have ‘enough’ force-sensitivity to have a daemon for certain become a bird? I didn’t like that narrative as much, it felt restrictive. So instead Jedi tend to have bird daemons, but not Force-Sensitives. Like all Jedi are force sensitive ( and have bird daemons) but not all Force-Sensitives are Jedi, make sense? This is because of how the Jedi raise children and teach them to interact with the force. Because of how Jedi are taught to view and use the force, their daemons tend to settle as birds! It’s ‘nurture’ over ‘nature’ thing. Which is why (in this AU at least) the Jedi don’t take in older children to train. Because they’ve already probably learned their own way to interact with the force (different from the Jedi teachings) and therefore will have a non-bird daemon! Hence Anakin having a lion daemon. “But what about Obi-Wan?” (Well since Obi-Wan is one of my favorites I get to spice him up lol). He was originally very Jedi like (daemon wise) but after the whole Jedi Apprentice/Xanantos enslaving him/Melida-Daan war thing, he daemon ended up settling as a Maned Wolf! I imagine he was just about the age where his daemon would settle (usually 13-15, which is the same reason this is the age Jedi initiates are made padawans), so it was a surprise that his daemon so abruptly changed and settled. Most likely the effects of being so abruptly exposed to violence and war right out of being only use to the peace of the Jedi temple his whole life. 

(Extra) The 3rd page of the post! Cody and Obi-Wan’s daemons! Beskar and Kee-Ayt! Even though in my doodles Beskar seems to be very grumpy and even hatful towards Kee-Ayt, DO NOT BE FOOLED. Beskar adores Kee-Ayt. Their relationship just mirrors how I headcanon Cody’s and Obi-Wan’s. Where they will harass and bitch at each other to hell and back. Sounding from the outsider’s POV like two people who hate each other. When in reality these two are joined at the hip and love each other. They just will never admit it because “we have reputations to uphold!’ (Anakin says “what reputation? the reputation that one of you would murder the other if it wasn’t for the fact the GAR would court marshal the other?”) But yeah, Beskar makes fun of Kee-Ayt’s long ass legs. The mini ‘comic’ is about how I imagine that since all the Clones’ daemons are dogs/canines, when they win a battles they have a ‘Victory Call’ where they all howl. Beskar offers for Kee-Ayt to join in, but Maned Wolves can’t howl. They do this thing called a Roar-Bark (look up a video it’s so loud). This is the first time Beskar hears Kee-Ayt roar-bark and it scared the shit out of her.

(Extra Extra) The 4th page of the post! This is mostly doodles of Rex, Anakin and Ashoka’s daemons (Queen, Asieko and Tuex). All three reflect the close relationship that Rex, Anakin and Ahsoka have. Hence Tuex nesting on Queen and Asieko trying to groom Queen (who doesn’t appreciate the rough lion tongue bath she’s getting). (In fact Asieko tries to groom Tuex and Kee-Ayt too, but Tuex is too small and Kee-Ayt just starts biting Asieko bcs she doesn’t appreciate the bath either lol). We also have Tuex dive bombing Asieko (a common occurrence whenever Anakin and Ahsoka bicker). Tuex also does this to literally anyone who slightly annoys him or Ahsoka. And lastly the little doodle of Rex and Queen screaming! Idk if you’ve ever seen videos of Huskies, but oh boy are they loud and dramatic. I think with all the stress and insanity Rex has to deal with leading the 501st, he and Queen often have therapy screaming sessions. They deserve to. 

(ALSO, I will be making follow up reblogs with lore/plot stuff for each individual character)

“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.

[worm-strung-string]

POV you just became the Jedi’s bestest boy and saved the galaxy or something but beating his brothers as the Jedi’s bestest boy is clearly more important

And no he will not be dropping the glow knife

[stealthetrees]

*slams hands on desk* NO YOU DONT GET IT I love Commander Fox because of his CANONICAL characterization and that is exactly four things:

He’s dramatic, uses cringe one liners and does flips in the middle of gun fights

He’s chill about flat out murdering people who deserve it, and his statement to Ashoka could imply he would have let her go if she hadn’t been caught on camera

He stands up to Anakin after Ashoka is arrested, sending armed troopers after him to make sure he leaves the building, and also kind of throws Tarkin under the bus

Every single fucking time he puts his brothers first, from killing Fives when he caught a brain disease that made him go nuts and took hostages then was about to kill more clones, to taking the blame for his troopers firing on Darth Vader during order 66 and getting killed for it

We don’t get a lot about him but what we do see makes me crave more canon appearances.

[nerdy-documentations]

Some Star Wars "fan" about to write another fic about how Jedi should just give up on their culture and beliefs (i.e. slowly be stripped of them) so that they can assimilate into mandalorian society (y'know the people that have historically always sided with their oppressors) because that will make them happier and more fulfilled:

Okay jokes aside (please take this meme with a laugh and a grain of salt) but I want to talk about Mandalorian x Jedi pairings and how authors write them.

A rant about Jedi-Mandalorian Pairings, Anti-Jedi attitudes, and how prevelent it is.

So, you might be thinking, "If you don't like it, don't read it", now I do agree with that stance. However, when the author either doesn't tag the fic as having Anti-Jedi sentiments or as being Jedi critical or just doesn't realize that's what they are portraying, it's kinda impossible to do so. It just kinda creeps up on you mid fic.

I am an avid Jedi-Mandalorian pairing reader. I love seeing how Jedi and Mandalorian culture and societies come together. It just seems that many authors think that it is a one-way street where the Jedi in the relationship has to completely integrate and learn Mandalorian customs and the Mandalorian gets to be willingly ignorant to Jedi culture.

I hate coming across this trope of "Jedi that follows the Resol'nare, might or might not be married to a Mandalorian, and is still ostracized for being an aruetii, until they give up their Jedi ways"

It feels icky.

Reading what is essentially a interracial/intercultural relationship and one partner be put down for doing what their culture does is weird. It gets even weirder when the author starts going down the assimilation route. (Clarification: I am talking solely about fics where the author doesn't tag or put a warning that there are these themes in said fic. I am not talking about fics where that is blatantly the focal point)

If I have to see something alone the lines of "maybe the order died for a reason" again I'm going ballistic. What could you possibly mean by that.

Ah yes, because the babies and younglings that got murdered in the creche sooo deserved to die. Or the members of the Agriculture Corps, Medical Corps, Education Corps, and the Exploration Corps, who aren't even overseen by the Jedi High Council but the Council of Reassignment, also deserved to die.

Like I'm starting to think that y'all just don't like the Jedi characters you write about. If that is the cause THAT'S FINE JUST FUCKING TAG IT.

I would like to believe that most of these authors don't have any ill intent when writing like this, but there's definintely a vibe going on. It's just so infuriating because Jedi and Mandalorian cultures could mesh together, or at the very least closely co-exist, really well. They are like two sides to the same coin. So it makes no fucking sense (and is very harmful) to have this way of thinking if you genuinely like these pairings and think they could work.

Afterall isn't that one of the main appeals of these pairings?

Tl;Dr: Many authors write fics in which the Jedi in a Jedi-Mandalorian pairing is either condemned for being a Jedi or has to give up their faith and beliefs, but they don't tag the fic as being anti-Jedi.

[m00ntunaart]

Once again peddling my AU that when Din gets the Darksaber, that it's haunted by Jaster Mereel. Who then proceeds to pester the ever loving fuck out of Din.

Also just think it's funny to have Bo-Kayan Kryze (who's family ruled Mandalore and WAS Mand'alor for a bit), Paz Viszla (who's family literally made the Darksaber) and Boba Fett (son to Jango Fett and Grandson to Mand'alor Jaster Merel) all around.

But instead Din"rat-boy-nobody" Djarin become the main Mand'alor candidate.

It's so funny, please let me have this.

[chaosgoblinhours]

jaster mereel had to die young because the moment he ever had to meet palpatine on his home turf he'd take one look at the politician's eclectic collection and immediately go 'oh !! Is that a ceremonial sacrificial dagger of darth rabies???" and immediately go off on a tangent about old republic lore while palpatine gets bodied by at least five jedi in the background

[adhd-coyote]

I just. Love Mando’a so fucking much. It’s so great.

They have three different words to describe ways to be stabbed. Bikadinir (to stab with a broad blade; “run through”), chekar (to stab with a small blade, “shiv”), and kalikir (to stab with a narrow blade, “skewer”).

They have one pronoun. Kaysh. That’s it. Buir is just parent, there’s no mom/dad. No son/daughter, just ad, ad’ika, ikaad. Child. Vod can mean sibling, friend, comrade. All at once. Amazing.

They have dozens of ways to insult someone. Di’kut, someone who forgets to put their pants on. Utreekov, emptyhead. Najaat, no honor. Dini, lunatic. Kaysh mirsh solus, “their brain cell is lonely.” Skanah, “much hated person/thing.” Hut’uun, coward. Ge’hut’uun, not even notable enough to be called a coward (how insulting is that?). Demagolka, originating from Demagol, the name of a scientist who was so fucking shitty that his name became the worst insult a Mandalorian could call you. And that insult is child abuser, monster, war criminal, someone with no honor.

And then there’s “shab”, which we don’t have an official definition for, but the fandom collectively agrees it means “fuck.” Because we have shabiir (to screw up), shab’la (screwed up), shab’rudur (to screw with), and shabuir (jerk but much stronger, AKA asshole/motherfucker).

And Mando’ade don’t say “I love you.” They say “Ni kar’tayli gar darasuum.” I hold you in my heart for eternity. Like. Are you serious. That’s so much better than “I love you.” If someone said that to me I would die on the spot.

Mirshmure’cya means “brain kiss.” Slang for headbutt, which is a thing Mando’ade do a lot, apparently. And it’s a sign of affection, too. They show affection by gently bonking their helmets together. How adorable is that???

Oh, and shereshoy. A lust for life “and much more.” Represented by orange on their armor. “The enjoyment of each day and the determination to seek and grab every possible experience, as well as surviving to see the next day - hanging onto life and relishing it.” And that “oy” at the end of it, derived from “Oya!”

“Oya”, which can mean so many things. A war cry before a fight or hunt. A celebration. An encouragement. “Let’s hunt!” “Hoorah!” “Cheers!” “That’s the spirit!”

This post got much longer than I meant it to lol. I’ll stop here. But you get the gist. Mando’a is a wonderful language and I am in love with it.

im in the penitence stage now

cant do anything pleasing or fun without a profound feeling of guilty and regret hitting

[tabbasco-no]

Don't forget to rest friend! And still do the things you enjoy! It's important for your health^^

Here is a Hunter for you to enjoy and to hopefully cheer you up

[geek-antic]

I played sable and got inspired to draw what I imagine the future version of the path I chose would look like

I really liked the atomic mask

F2U character sheet templates

A friend of mine was having trouble making reference sheets for her characters, so I made quite a few!

I figure these could be really useful if anyone else was struggling too, so these are all F2U

They could be really useful for Artfight, so keep that in mind :)

------Edit------

HOLY SHIT I did NOT expect this to blow up this much!! Thankyou!!

Here's my artfight! I really hope I get to attack some of the people that actually used my template, that would be so cool!

[sasoxichomoshi]

it's official, i am making godslayer taller

[rythuliansoup]

Like when he’s human or when he’s Creature

Bc Creature GS is already pretty tall

[sasoxichomoshi]

I attribute many heights to when godslayer was human (pathfinder) bc in one of my headcanons, height is synonym to holiness and religious faith. When you have gods that are called "the tall ones", the taller you are, the closer you are to said gods/the stronger your faith is in them (that's why monks and priests are expected to be tall, as a proof of their faith)

When pathfinder treads the way to the one true path, he gets progressively taller (reinforcing his image as a deity among his followers), up to around 2m~2,1m (before he got the mask)

When i started drawing hunter and godslayer i knew godslayer was tall, but not exactly how much, so i had to make some guesses and politely just assume measures

i assumed he had around 2,1m which was a good height difference from hunter ( i always thought she had around 1,7m)

cut to recently times, i got my hands in their 3D models and oh boy

ohhhhhhhh boyyyy

he tall

he is fucking tall

sorry for models without texture, i had technical problems

for context: using blender and adjusting the scale of the units, godslayer is 2,6m tall and hunter is 1,75m

and i thought that maybe, mayybeee idk the devs made his model in game smaller and then at the end in the boss fight they used the model as is but

i think they didnt?????

he's just really tall i guess

and i was unsure if i should adopt this new information in the way i draw them bc in game i have the impression he just get very big at the boss fight (at least that's how the camera plays it) so i was torn between the height the game gives us by context VS the technical true height

after giving some thought to it and even testing around this change, as i announced, im officially making godslayer taller, but just to match his 2,6m of the 3D model

[rythuliansoup]

He also gets taller during his final fight!! Before his ascension he’s already like. Giant. I dont have photos but in the one attack he does when he lunges and gets up close he is Very Big compared to the hunter

[sasoxichomoshi]

he does !!!!!!!!!

i think that in this regard my first assumption was kinda correct, he gets around 5m tall when hunter enters the arena and the boss fight starts

however i havent give a proper look into this specific part yet (mb) bc i was interested in his other size

godslayer height is confusing to me at times bc i see that the devs coded him to have a base height and then a multiplier to it so they can change it on a cutscene-to-cutscene basis, i just havent found this information yet

in the future i will giver a closer look into it ^^
