SO this is gonna get a tad sappy for a moment, but this is a sort-of gift for @aluckyartist. over the years iâve followed them and talked with them a bit iâve really, really been inspired by everything they do- from the confidence w/ their self inserts to their path in life. theyâre a very genuine person with wonderful art, so if you havenât checked them out yet you absolutely should! (also chris i apologize for the suddenness of this sdfgljdlgnsdf i was just in the state of mind after commissions and have wanted to do a formal thank you for awhile!)
this is their oc/self insert caez who is beyond amazing! i was torn between caez and crai bc i also love the arcana but. caez is an old fave and theyâre awesome, and iâd done my roz redesign as the warm up so star wars was already on my mind
Do you like celebrating with some really cool people?
Hop online this Thursday, March 29th 7:00PM EST*, to join us in celebrating an addition to their really cool family.Â
Party activities include watching Star Wars The Force Awakens in a rabb.it stream, and playing Cards Against Humanity on Pretend you're Xyzzy.
If this sounds like your jam, the rabb.it room will be up shortly before 7PM EST. You may need to make an account to join, and the room caps at 25 people. Xyzzy does not need an account, and as far as I know, does not have a room cap. This post will be reblogged with the links.
You are encouraged if you want to bring gifts such as kind words, drawings, or writing for our expecting parent in the time they need support most.Â
Letâs show our love! And I hope to see you all there. : )
Hello a second Caezlo? Wild times and a gift from above for Chris, I guess! ;)
The base was brisk and snowy, but that was how Caez liked it as they walked in from the cold and shook off their jacket, hanging it up and tapping their keypass against the door scanner and feeling a gust of overly filtered air hit their face as they headed off down the hall towards their room. Not expecting anyone to stop them, Caez was taken off-guard as a familiar large man stepped out in front of them and blocked their path, them looking up and scowling at Kylo as he pulled his helmet off and gave them a weird look, then extended his hand towards them.
Glancing down and frowning as a small box with a shitty and lopsided ribbon tied around it was presented to them, the bounty hunter raised an eyebrow and started to ask, âWhat the hell is th-â
âDonât you know what day it is?â The knight inquired, scowling as he lifted the box towards Caez a bit more, him toning dully, âItâs January second, Caez.â Like it was something they shouldâve been keeping track of, them frowning back at Kylo and scrunching up their nose for a moment as they thought about it.
After a moment and finally shrugging, Caez admittedly blandly, âYeah, I dunno what that means, Ren. If Iâm miss-â
â-Today was the day you started as my apprentice last year, Caez.â He commented, clearly not impressed by how poorly they kept track of dates as the switch turned on in their head and they snapped their fingers, Kylo rolling his eyes as he muttered indifferently, âItâs polite to gift you something on the date you started your official training, Caez.â
Blanking for a split moment at the âniceâ gesture - Caez still wasnât sure if they wanted to give Kylo the benefit of calling him actually kinda nice sometimes - the bounty hunter paused for a moment before hesitantly taking the small box with both their hands, the feeling that they had somehow fucked up on something they should have just known and prepared for making them feel weird with accepting the gift, Kylo still glowering at them as they muttered uncomfortably, âOh. I. Thanks. I-I didnât get you anything. Now I kinda feel b-â
â-You arenât supposed to get me something. Iâm your teacher, Iâm supposed to be congratulating you, not the other way around.â He commented, keeping his tone flat and factual as Caez blinked and looked up at Kylo with a slightly flabbergasted expression, not really sure what to say as Kylo turned around and waved behind him, stalking off with a brief, âGoodbye, Caez. Training is cancelled today, enjoy your day off.â Before heading down an adjacent hall and making himself scarce.
Not even having enough time to yell goodbye back, Caez exhaled deeply and let their shoulders slump as they rolled their eyes, exasperated by how ridiculous Kylo was sometimes as they brushed their hair from their face and looked back down at the tiny box, them scowling before tugging the ribbon off and opening the manilla coloured parcel, them lifting the lid off of the tiny box and frowning at the small shiny object inside.
Lifting up the item, Caez inspected what looked like a single credit on a chain, the credit chipped and dulled with time but on the back carved into it very poorly was âOne of 50Kâ, Caez pausing and blinking at the reference to their old bounty as they felt a flush creep across their face.Â
Looking around in the hall before shoving the gift in their pocket, the bounty hunter trudged to the closest bathroom and locked the door behind them as they ran to the mirror, pulling the necklace - it had to be a necklace, the chain was too long for any normal wrist - out and putting it on, the dull glint of the credit on them making them chuff and smirk a bit before they tucked the accessory into the inside of their top, them walking out of the bathroom and muttering under their breath, âThanks, Ren.â Even though they knew Kylo was too far away to hear the thanks.
okay i cant resist: what's your favorite aspect of rhell and caez's friendship? does rhell get equally annoyed when caez tries to third wheel on her alone time with stix, or does she torment him by letting them stay? what's her favorite things to do with Kal and Caez respectively? who's she most likely to get caught sneaking out with? what sort of shit do they get up to when no one is keeping them busy?
Ohhhhh baby I love this one
whatâs your favorite aspect of rhell and caezâs friendship?Â
I love how similar they are, but they still retain an insane amount of individuality and separate distinct personalities. Theyâre good at bouncing off of each other and are the worst for being nuisances because they can egg each other on to crazy and super stupid levels when bored. These are two people who are good at understanding each other, and theyâre even better at using that to be in sync and messing with others. They balance each other, because both can be a dangerous mix of wishy-washy and blatant with certain people and certain scenarios, so they can really push each other to be better than they are.
does rhell get equally annoyed when caez tries to third wheel on her alone time with stix, or does she torment him by letting them stay?
It depends. If Rhell and Stix are going for a walk around the base and Caez pops up and starts lurking just to torment Stix, Rhell will find amusement in that and will let them stay, but if itâs something in a more intimate setting or something that her and Stix are doing thatâs been premeditated to be âthem timeâ, sheâll kick Caez out without question. It depends on the situation, really.
whatâs her favorite things to do with Kal and Caez respectively?
Kal: Rhell loves shopping with him, doing makeovers and going to fancy functions. Theyâre the people who like to go and be pampered, and if they can do it while eating exotic fruits and dragging people they know in the petty ways they do, itâs the best day ever. Kal and Rhell are notorious for âplanet hoppingâ from party to party, and they are the kinds of people who can do that for literal days at a time before finally burning out. Theyâre terrible for flirting for each other, and intruding on the other when theyâre about to be intimate with others. The boundary isnât there all that much, and Rhell and Kal both love how up front they can be about each other without it making either of them bitter.
Caez: Rhell loves going on missions with Caez because they always brighten her mood no matter how messy the job is, and they both fight well together so itâs hard to stop them once they get going. Theyâd probably love sparring and training together because both are dirty fighters, and are more than pleased to learn how to counter each other to make the fight more fair. But theyâd also be the kinds of people who are down to sneak into the dining hall kitchens and steal a ton of snacks and sit on the floor of Rhellâs room or in the bunk in Caezâs and eat snacks and watch holos and listen to music. Also gambling, fuck these two are the worst for making stupid bets on literally anything, and Caez probably cried the first time Rhell took them to sit in a high-rise box at a galactically sanctioned speeder race, like the ones they probably watched recordings of on holos they passed in busy streets. I feel like Rhell likes to take Caez to experience what being part of the galactically privileged is like, because of how excited and in awe they are at literally all this stuff? Rich people just have parties and thereâs literal tables of any food you could ever want? Rich people get to sleep in big pretty hotel rooms where the bath is the size of a pool??? Itâs probably something that Caez would be nervous about experiencing at first, before Rhell explains that this kind of silly indulgent stuff isnât any fun without somebody to use the world as your playground with you. And itâs especially enjoyable for Rhell because she loves watching Caezâs reactions to brand new things.
whoâs she most likely to get caught sneaking out with?
CAEZ. Kal and Rhell donât sneak, they want the world to know theyâre going where they want and you canât stop them. Rhell and Caez have more dubious forms of fun, too, so of course theyâre sneaking around hoping that Stix doesnât catch up to them too fast and drag them back to the ship or to the base before theyâve had their fun.
what sort of shit do they get up to when no one is keeping them busy?
TBH? Rhell and Caez probably mess with Stormtroopers and other guards they can find, theyâll sabotage meetings and mess with equipment and slides so Huxâs nice new slideshow for the briefing tomorrow has a picture of Kyloâs bare, white, disappointing ass in the middle of the slides. They screw around with peoplesâ stuff, they draw on people they find asleep at their stations, they turn off security cameras and rewire them to play 30 second loops of their previous feeds so they can do things like mess around in the training areas undisturbed, and so they can do things like stream speeder races on the tactics maps, which is against protocol and would get anyone with less status sent to reconditioning and stripped of their high-status clearance. These two are notorious for screwing around in all the worst ways, and even though Rhell is usually the mastermind and Caez is the muscle, Stix always seems to blame Caez for encouraging this shit.

i read the tags on that caez/rhell aesthetic post and i love them so much. i love their similarities and their differences, and how they react to their situations/struggles in ways that are different, yet all too familiar. i feel like they'd bond a lot over similar demons and flaws and fears. i imagine sometimes they might overshare with each other about things they don't normally share with others, or just. keep each other silent company because they both know words aren't always helpful.
Oh hell yes, son.
Rhell and Caez are oddly similar, but Rhell is easily much more contained personality-wise. Sheâs expressive, but she doesnât wear her thoughts on her sleeves. Rhell is really closed off about nitty gritty details about herself until someone can push past all the barriers she puts up. Caez did that easily because of how obvious they are about seeing the unfairness that other people have dealt with.
But in all honesty? I feel like the big thing with them and their similarities is their core values. Rhell wants to find peace with herself and with her demons, and I feel like Caez wants the same. How they react and become active towards these goals are different, and theyâre very different with their internal dialogues - Rhell is overly giving, Caez can be incredibly self serving - but with core values and that almost immediate mutual respect, I feel like they balance each other well. Like, incredibly well. Caez may have Kal to make them lighten up and see a bit better in the world, but Rhell is a grounding point. And Caez is a very solid grounding point for Rhell, as well.
Like, for example, Stix can be hesitant to tell Rhell that sheâs going too far, that sheâs pushing too hard, and Caez doesnât hesitate. And that probably rubs both Hel siblings the wrong way. Caez thinks Stix is letting his fantasies get unrealistic, and that itâll hurt their friend in the process. Stix thinks Caez isnât actually looking out for Rhellâs feelings sometimes, and that theyâre just as liable to throw her under the bus as anyone else. Thereâs a clash there because people express their love differently with different people, and sometimes you just canât agree with how others give and take their affections. Rhell - and Geht, over time - are both pretty good buffers between Stix and Caez because they can be pretty hostile with each other. But once again, different core values. And while Rhell can understand why Caez is so blatantly self-serving, Stix doesnât get it. He doesnât want to get it, because in his mind someone trying too hard to be a âlone wolfâ is flat out unacceptable. But heâs a team player and a clearly more co-dependant person than Caez, so itâs not easy to understand personal motives that donât benefit everyone.
And thatâs also why I feel like Rhell would be more likely to explain her personal motives to Caez before Stix. Because Caez may not like what Rhell needs to do to get the job done, they may disapprove of how self-sacrificing she intends on being, but. They wonât stop her if thatâs what she feels she needs to do. And Rhell is a pretty solid middle between Caezâs independent ass and Stix being heavily co-dependant. Rhell prefers to work as a team, as a group, but sheâs aware that some jobs and choices need to involve just herself and her mission. I like the idea that Rhell is a good balance between two people who would otherwise burn each other out. Sheâd probably get along alright with Geht for that reason. Buffering between Caez and Stix isnât something a lot of people can do.
And TOTALLY Rhell and Caez would get on even better once knowing more about each othersâ experiences. Caez has probably not been incredibly open with many people before about their life and what theyâve been through, so having someone whoâs okay with laying next to them on the floor and staring up at the ceiling with them and just. Listening. And not judging or questioning them or how they feel. That must be a really relieving experience. Rhell is much more closed off about her personal experiences than Caez is, but she also has to fight her demons regularly, itâs not just part of her past. Her parents are still in the picture, her Master is still present and likes to make sure she feels unworthy of love. Someone who understands how that can feel - being unworthy, somehow feeling like theyâve failed no matter what path theyâve chosen - for Rhell, is a really good dawning moment. And another thing that I feel like Caez and Rhell really cement for each other is that they never say, âIâm sorry for youâ when they talk about more touchy things. Because that sounds like theyâre being pitied, and neither of them pity each other. Rhell and Caez have this really solid mutual respect for each other and their personal choices and goals, and thatâs something that really doesnât leave room for pity. They donât feel pity for each other, or sympathy. Theyâre concerned, learning about each othersâ experiences is scary and really exposing for both of them, but. Itâs not about pity. Itâs about wishing there was a way to just, make it okay for that person even though whatâs done is done. So the best they can really do is tell each other how proud they are of them still fighting despite the bad hands they were shuffled. I feel like they both admire each other to an incredible level because of how much both of them have survived through. And thatâs something that a lot of people wonât understand.
And sometimes, with friendship, thatâs enough. Not saying anything more than, âI understand how you feel. I wish I could make it better, but I canât. But you, you are so strong for still being here.â And thatâs a really Rhell and Caez thing. That weird close bond and the pride they feel for each other when they slowly fight off their own demons.
