For the fan-fic writer questions: what is your favorite fic that you’ve written? What are some headcannons you have for your favorite character to write? I also saw you mention OCs! If you feel like it, could you share a little about them? I love hearing about people’s OCs!! No pressure to answer all of these!
First of all, I apologize for not responding to this sooner. When I was writing my reply for the first time (it was quite long and almost finished), my computer became unplugged and since my computer is really old, the battery doesn’t work anymore. Whenever my computer isn’t plugged in, it won’t turn on or it’ll immediately shut off. I was REALLY upset when this happened and I lost my entire reply to your Ask; looking at my computer and my own stupidity for not using a Word document first was getting on my nerves so I needed a break.
Second of all, AAAAHHHH SOMEBODY ELSE SENT ME AN ASK!!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! YOU’RE AMAZING!!!!! <3 <3 <3 *coughs* Sorry, got a bit overexcited there. Thank you for sending in an Ask! I don’t get very many in, so I’ll respond to all of the questions as best as I can! <3
What is your favourite fic that you’ve written? : Oof, this early on and we’re already picking favourites? :D I’ll have to go with, “Right Now”, written for Day 3 of Commander Fox Week. I spent the most time working on this one, so it more perfected than the other two I’ve done so far. I like how I portrayed Fox as having to be cold and uncaring because of the position he’s in, but he still cares even if he doesn’t know how to show it all the time. I’ve received praise for my depiction of grief, so that was a major sigh of relief for me. I also got to write my first OC, who has garnered positive attention and has led to me writing a series of one-shots based off of him and his squad. It may be the one that has gotten the least amount of attention on the sites I’ve posted it, but I’m still very proud of it and the attention it has gotten.
What are some headcanons you have for your favourite character to write? : I’ll be doing Fox. He’s the character I’ve written the most. If you’d like headcanons of other characters, just send in another ask (shameless, I know)!
1. Fox doesn’t like Palpatine. There’s just always been something... off about him. Palpatine feels manipulative and slimy to Fox, even in the earlier times of the war and it only got worse as it went on. From what Fox has observed, he also felt that Palpatine’s relationship with Anakin was a bit disturbing.
2. This headcanon is inspired by @koyacyi-vode. Fox’s remaining batchmates are Cody and Wolffe. The three are very close and take care of each other as much as they can. They are also the only two of Fox’s brothers who can ALWAYS tell when he’s lying. Whenever Cody or Wolffe (or both, but it’s rare) are on Coruscant, they always will meet up with Fox. Whether to annoy him in his office to take a break, get a drink, or something else is dependent on Fox’s mood, to be honest. I still like to read other options of who his batchmates are, though!
3. Besides his batchmates, Fox is closest Thorn. As he is also a commander in the Coruscant Guard, him, Stone, and Thire best know why he acts cold and uncaring (besides Cody and Wolffe, obviously). Thorn managed to stay more relaxed than Fox and is better at taking care of himself, so he’s made it his personal mission to annoy Fox into taking care of himself when Cody or Wolffe aren’t available. He is the only person besides the previously two listed that can get away with annoying Fox a lot and Thorn has no qualms about comming Cody or Wolffe to yell at Fox for neglecting himself.
I also saw you mention OCs! If you feel like it, could you share a little about them? I love hearing about people’s OCs!! : You want to hear about my OCs? :’) Alright, so the two that don’t exist in Star Wars Canon are Duke and Morale. The three that exist (killed by Barriss Offee to frame Ahsoka), but had no names or personalities are Ghost, Sketch, and Throwpillow. Together, they make up Spark Squad.
Sketch is the unofficial leader of the squad. He acts the oldest out of all of them and is almost constantly exasperatingly rolling his eyes at his batchmates. For the most part, Sketch is a pretty serious person, but he’ll let loose around his batchmates and he comforts them when they need it. He’s not the best with his words, but he’ll give hugs and sketch cute little pictures on anything he can find to cheer them up.
Ghost is very quiet. He doesn’t like talking very much, isn’t comfortable with physical affection with anyone besides his batchmates, and is comparing himself to his batchmates a lot. For the most part, Ghost had always been drawn to people with confidence in themselves. He is much better with words than Sketch is, but is very shy about, and is typically the one that others go to when they want words with their comfort. Ghost also has a talent of making himself appear blend into crowds.
Throwpillow likes being active the most out of all of his batchmates. He is really good at pushing himself and others to the limit. Throwpillow is also terrible at comforting someone; even with brothers like Sketch and Ghost, it’s just not his thing. He can listen and do his best to empathize, but he has no idea what to say and hugs with him are almost always awkward. He’s much better at keeping them active to keep whatever is troubling out of their mind. Originally, Throwpillow’s name was Pillow because after long nights of ranting, his batchmates found him soft enough to sleep on. After an incident with Commander Fox (which I’ll be writing a one-shot about in my Spark Squad series!), his name became Throwpillow.
If Sketch took on the role of big brother, Duke took up the role of overprotective big brother. He loves his brothers and would do anything for them, at his own expense included. Like Throwpillow, he’s a good listener but doesn’t know what to say to comfort someone; he is very good at giving hugs though, even if it does make him a bit uncomfortable. His comfort comes second to his brothers. That ankle he broke to push Pillow out of harms’ way? Better his ankle than Pillow’s. Stealing materials to sketch on and with so Sketch wouldn’t get caught and he would? They need him here to lead the squad; Duke can afford to be caught. Late nights spent reassuring Ghost that he didn’t need to keep comparing himself to others and bringing himself down? At least Ghost will get some sleep after, even if he doesn’t. Back talking that Kaminoan the day he didn’t come back? Worth it if Morale wouldn’t cry about it later.
Morale is the most optimistic out of the entire squad. If there’s a positive in the situation, he WILL find it and tell it to others with a wide grin on his face to keep up morale. He’s amazing at keeping others happy, but it’s extremely easy to make him sad. He’s good at hiding it, though. He wants to make everyone else feel as if they have a chance and he views his sadness as selfish. He is viewed by the other four as their youngest, and they all do what they can to keep him happy, while he makes others happy. He is the last man standing of Spark Squad.
I don’ know how to end this, so thanks again for the Ask! <3 I hope it wasn’t too long! xD
