#vergence

[groove-on-boogie-down]

Indara says that they don’t even know if a vergence created life on brendok so now I’m really curious if Mother Aniseya had the power to proliferate wildlife on that whole planet.

From the earliest cell to a rapid evolution of wildlife like the butterfly. To the bunta tree and the organisms they hunt.

Now that would be reaaaally fascinating. Garden of Eden vibes.

If you are a reylo shipper, you probably thought of Ben Solo when you heard in episode 7 of The Acolyte information about Vergence (a concentration of Force energy in a certain location that has the power to create life).

✨💫✨

Exegol, the planet where we last saw Ben Solo in The Rise Of Skywalker, has a unique vergence in the Force, a transportive vergence. Exegol is also called the place of rebirth.

✨💫✨

According to this story [Star Wars: Dark Legends - "A Life Immortal"], Exegol is a unique vergence in the Force, where "the veil between life and death [is] thin."

"To Exegol. To the place of rebirth."

- Star Wars: Shadow of the Sith (book)

✨💫✨

"Exegol was a dark, barren, and rocky planet with desert flats. Its dry conditions, combined with the rubbing of dust particles in its atmosphere, created enormous static discharges that appeared as lightning strikes from the planet, which made the atmosphere too dangerous to deploy deflector shields. The dead and desolate world was covered with enormous fissures that reached deep into its crust. These were excavated by Sith loyalists who were attempting to reach a transportative vergence they believed to lie beneath the surface."

They were looking for a transportative vergence to get to where? The World Between Worlds? 👀 Or another place?

Could Exegol's vergence be a portal to the World Between Worlds? 👀

✨💫✨

Let us also not forget the Power of the Dyad.

"The life force of your bond…a dyad in the Force. A power like life itself. Unseen for generations."

- Palpatine

"A vergence, sometimes described as a Force nexus, a nexus, or a locus, was an unusual yet naturally occurring concentration of Force energy localized around a place, object, or person."

Like Anakin Skywalker, would the dyad in the Force also be a vergence? Could the Vergence of Exegol and also the power of the dyad have kept Ben Solo alive and transported him to World Betweem Worlds? 👀

✨💫✨

There are many ways to bring Ben Solo back!! 🦋

BRENDOK

The palatial world of Brendok, long thought to be uninhabited by those in the Core, is not a part of the united planets of the Galactic Republic.

In the time of the High Republic, the planet was among the worlds struck by the Emergences that destroyed entire civilizations in the wake of the Great Hyperspace Disaster. However, a vergence in the Force was believed to be behind the natural reclamation that led to Brendok becoming a lush, green world capable of supporting life.

Covered in vast mountains and mossy forests, Brendok is home to an ancient fortress where a coven of witches dwell beneath the world’s twin moons.

The World Between Worlds, Vergences, Force Wounds, and Dyads

So let’s sort through this real quick: With all the stuff being spread around you’ve probably already heard about the World Between Worlds but essentially it’s a subplanar space connecting different Vergences in the Force. A Vergence isn’t really a particular thing, it’s essentially a name for any Force phenomenon that concentrates the living Force somewhere in unusual amounts.  When Qui Gon calls Anakin a Vergence in Phantom Menace he isn’t saying that a Vergence is its own particular thing, he’s assigning a broad identifier.  As we know now, Anakin’s Vergence was him being conceived in/by the Force.  A lot of the material I’ve seen for WBW so far discounts this completely and acts like a Vergence is its own independent phenomena, which it’s not.  When the WBW connects Vergences the Vergences themselves can be a number of things, and one of those things is a Force Wound. A Force Wound is created by something truly terrible happening, usually a great loss of life.  The Alderanian Asteroid Field, which we know to be the remains of the planet Alderan after Vader destroyed it, is the site of a Force Wound.  Dagobah is also the site of a Force Wound, and that Force Wound is the Vergence on Dagobah.  It is also possible for a Force Wound to exist in a person, as with other kinds of Vergences.  One of the ways this can happen is to destroy a particularly powerful Force bond. When DLF says ‘there’s a Vergence on Exegol’, which they have, we still don’t know what kind.  Given how strongly Exegol is linked to the Dark side it may be a Cave of Mirrors-type phenomena, where a particular portion or alignment of the Force is centered somewhere in a way we don’t really know much about.  HOWEVER, it is now possible that there’s an additional, secondary, or heightened Vergence on Exegol; a Force Wound caused by the destruction of a dyad bond.  Equally possible is that Rey has a Force Wound herself, though that seems unlikely, since Rey seems fine at the end of TROS and having a Force Wound would either drive her mad, turn her Dark, or make her cut herself off from the Force instinctively just to survive.  But if Ben’s death created a new Vergence, that itself might be the link to the WBW that would allow him to survive.

Since you were interested, the vergences seem inspired by Celtic mythology and its mythical otherworld. Decorated rock formations serve as portals to it. Like the fair folk, the wolves are physical beings that have the ability to dwell within the otherworld as well as travel through it, but you need a physical door (the caves) to bring others in and out of it. Reality is different inside (the sea of grass, walking on space, crossing an entire hemisphere). Think Alice in Wonderland.

In other words: Liminal Space. 😎

With your permission, my master, I have encountered a vergence in the Force.

I was thinking about fic during my workout class (as one does, naturally), and it struck me that the way you write Obi-Wan and Anakin’s dynamic in Vergence is just sooooo… “When is a monster not a monster? Oh, when you love it. Oh, when you used to sing it to sleep.”

Anyway, that’s how I made myself sad about The Team on a Pilates reformer. I hope you’re having a good day!

oh my god anon I'm kissing you on the mouth YOU-

[lamaenthel]

are y'all ready for tomorrow :)
