// Just to make another post. But I'm effectively on hiatus here for an indeterminate period of time. You can find me over at @freckledmccree, where I mostly blog about Overwatch and McCree these days. I would start an RP blog for him, but my relationship to the fandom is contentious already so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Point is, I'm not here. You can catch me at my personal, or on Discord, which I'll hand out to mutuals if you don't got it already, just hmu
// I’ve said before that I would absolutely, definitely write Gabe if I was writing an Overwatch character, but I’d like to make an amendment in light of recent content that treats my close second favorite character like a fully realized person: I would write Jesse, actually.
// Also, let me admit right now that the original post about cultural appropriation and using other people’s cultures as nothing more than aesthetic window dressing for your OCs I wrote anyway was originally about a specific RPer, Vik, who I have mentioned in my rules as someone I’m constantly annoyed about as a virulent racist who continues to exist in some corner of the community, continuing to make racist OCs, so, just to admit that—even though I ultimately wrote it to be broader because it’s... a big issue in the community, not just Star Wars, but all of RPC.
// I can’t believe I decided Ordo becomes a soft history nerd who publishes papers about cultural artifacts and researches their history for museum acquisitions for a living and in his spare time paints and dotes on his plants—albeit one who still can beat you up, slice into any database half-asleep, and put a bullet through your left nostril from a klick away.
// Tbh, it’s exhausting that people go out of their way to shit all over Boba Fett himself just because they can’t stand his really obnoxious fanboys—like even going so far as to say he’s never in any work had any character development or legitimate character arc or that people who like him are boring or that seeing people like him makes you wanna drink bleach (I’ve literally seen this) or whatever.
Like, just because you find it difficult to like him because of obnoxious disconnected fanboys who preferred he had no backstory bc they could imagine him a white dude doesn’t give you leave to go out shitting all over people who like him. Most Boba fans also don’t like the obnoxious fanboys. Just because you’ve never read anything that wrote Boba to his full potential doesn’t mean you can go around making fun of people who have and like him for it. Just because you’re tired of seeing merchandise for him everyone doesn’t give you the right to go around being nasty and obnoxious about how much you can’t be interested in him.
Like, why do you have to be so intensely nasty about a character who means a lot to many fans, especially because he is one of very few major canonical nonwhite characters and in many Legends works speaks to some because of strong diasporic themes of reconnecting to one’s roots? Like, not even that, why do you have to be nasty to people who like him just because he’s cool?
// I constantly want to, like, write things about Ordo’s less sympathetic traits and his flaws and the not-so-likeable parts of him—but then I get overwhelmed by how hard he’s trying to grow out of these flaws and grow beyond them to become a better person.
// I love having the top comment on the official Facebook post of the Star Wars Show where they announce D&D get a Star Wars trilogy.
// It’s hilarious to like have Ordo working in acquisitions at a museum (and then directing a museum himself) on Coruscant after the Civil War—because he has at least one sibling, Jaing, who is still in the business of shady as fuck. And it’s not hard to track down Ordo Wennen né Skirata.
Just, like, imagine some enemies of Jaing’s just show up to Ordo’s office, trying to ask him where his brother is. If they’re bold, maybe they think kidnapping Jaing’s academic-type brother for bait would be easier than trying to wheedle information out of Ordo.
Of course, it isn’t easier.
