But the idea that osha would have felt satisfaction murdering sol if he fought back is so wrong because she should feel bad about it anyway. And murder has never been satisfactory for anyone remotely good in star wars ever. Like anakin feels bad and knows he did something he shouldnt after murdering the tuscen people. Its either that or murder to survive. So unless osha is allready at this point really evil its just out of place.

yeah i don't understand their reasoning at all. i get that people think that killing someone in revenge would be satisfactory -- same way people think that hurting someone who hurt them would make them feel better -- but that is only before they commit the act, or in the moment as they do it. and then the aftermath hits that revenge doesn't fix anything, and the realization dawns on the killer that they've just done something terrible. or the audience recognizes that killing is bad and the villainy of the killer is further driven home when they have absolutely no remorse. not that the audience thinks that the victim not allowing the killer satisfaction is somehow taking away the killer's agency- !

Since you said you would welcome a well-written story from the Sith POV, I'd strongly recommend the Darth Bane trilogy. Sure, it's not officially canon anymore, but Karpyshyn does a fantastic job displaying how the Sith rationalize their evil philosophy to themselves and how that corrupts you. Plus, it has the benefit of also featuring the POV of some Jedi characters so we have some Hero Antagonists to root for once in a while.

oh cool, thanks for the rec! i'm adding it to my star wars to-read list

How did you earn that much? That's amazing!

oh i haven't made a large purchase in like... at least two years i think? i don't earn money as fast as i used to because i don't have the time, but i try to keep a slow steady income

fastest, most 'applicable to everyone' ways to earn money in my experience:

training & exalting (obviously)

mercing (training & selling trained dragons to a pushing flight at above exalt price). it depends on if a flight is buying from mercs, but this is where the real training money is, especially when there's a battle

max your fairgrounds every day. it's just over 1 mil t every 2 weeks. i use glimmer & gloom because it's nearly mindless clicking once you learn how to do it (there are guides you can find) and takes me about 15 min

whenever your flight has first place dom, open a dom shop to buy stuff at discount for other people. not everyone will tip (and i don't expect tips) but enough will

it's also easier to earn money once you already have some. whenever wildclaw scrolls cycle in, i buy a handful to resell when prices go back up. since they're 2kg each, you of course need to already have a bit of cash to be able to invest in them. i maxed my lair and nearly maxed my hibden, so i've gotten some pretty good money in the past dorming dragons for other people. i mostly flip fodder these days which takes a lot less time and energy than training, but i think it's only really worth it if your lair is big enough because the profit per dragon isn't that high

some of it is luck. the sheer number of dragons that pass through my lair means that i've picked up good g1s or special ids that i could auction off at a higher price. i also have a lot of old retired items accumulated over the years which i sell off when their prices have gone up. light fest items are especially good to invest in, they typically sell really well

help I just realized I've been mentally pronouncing your username as "mid night-ih-ger" lmaooo I can't believe it took me this long to realize it's midnight tiger, I figured a nighttiger was a kind of bird like a nightjar or something ahjksdfgj

ahahah yeah it's midnight tiger. tbf, i did break it up into mid and nighttiger instead of the actual words (and there's also the rather longer explanation you didn't ask for, which is that night tiger is also kinda a thing, a dragon species i designed... many many years ago)

nightjars are awesome though so i am very pleased hehehe

I want to write a fantasy story inspired by the Jedi and their culture. My story will be a mix of Greek mythology and Vietnamese religions.(since I'm Vietnamese) and several Japanese religions too..but I KNOW there will be people who won't read it, because of the religiousaspect of the story. Especially Western people. But like I said, it's Asian religions, NOT Christianity or Catholicism. I'm just so conflicted to write about it. But I just love my culture so....

i think you should definitely write it!! i'm a huge proponent of write things that you want, for yourself, not for other ppl. i mean, whenever i make things it's always things i specifically want regardless of whether other ppl will get it lol. but also there are definitely other ppl out there who will appreciate and love what you make, especially because it isn't typical ''''mainstream western'''' stuff, and that's so much more uncommon here. and creation from a place of love for your culture is something that is so beautiful and i love to see it
