I want to see Lord Vader raise his children.
My dream au is where the Jedi are slightly up and to the left of normal. Beyond what they already are. Maybe they are a bit genre aware/meta. Just Jedi being the crazy space wizards that normal people are like ‘be polite but don’t invite them for dinner’.
Oh man, I love fics in which people who have supernatural/magical abilities are just… unnerving to ordinary people… either because their behavior really is a couple steps to the left of what’s considered “normal” or because they have decidedly nonhuman physical attributes. (I’m not really writing MCU fic anymore, but Asgardians! You gotta write Asgardians as a little freaky, because they’re magic and also aliens and also semi-immortal, so they’ve gotta be weird.)
I’m not really writing Star Wars atm (at least SW with lots of particularly Force-attuned Jedi), but things that would be unnerving off the top of my head (do I sound like I care “how the Force works”?):
Jedi almost always react to something several seconds before anyone else. (In TCW, I imagine the clones roll with this immediately.)
To the point where some particularly precognitive Jedi answer particularly strong thoughts before they’re said aloud.
No, apologizing doesn’t really help, actually.
Jedi making casual comments displaying a high degree of psychometric ability (the psychic ability to read an object’s history through touch) or postcognition (ability to divine the past).
No, deep-cleaning your house won’t help. They know where that’s been. They know where everything’s been.
Jedi making casual conversation with non-sapient creatures.
Jedi being better at predicting the weather than any technology.
This is more annoying than anything else if they have this ability and keep not checking the weather anyway, or straight-up keep failing to inform you that it’s going to rain later.
Jedi using technology from across the room.
They can and they will thoughtlessly flip a switch from across the room, without dropping the conversation. No, their technology isn’t all automatic. It’s them casually using the Force.
Jedi displaying more physical awareness of your body and your surroundings than you yourself.
“Sorry, you were going to bump your head.”
Jedi who are powerful empaths always know your real mood.
“Sorry, you were projecting. Is everything okay?”
Jedi casually knowing what’s going on in the next room or making a comment that makes you realize they can eavesdrop on every conversation in a fifty meter radius.
They know it’s rude. It’s mostly unintentional.
Jedi floating, like, at all.
ESPECIALLY WHEN IT’S AN ACCIDENT.
HOW DO YOU FLOAT BY ACCIDENT???
It’s really no wonder that the Jedi Council stresses control, because an open connection to the Force could be brutal on a person’s mental, emotional, and physical stability. (I’m still a little ticked we didn’t get overloaded, slam-dunked into the Force, out-of-control Rey in TLJ.) Jedi culture in the Temple must have been pretty interesting, from the standpoint of a building full of people with superpowers. I know the clones in TCW aren’t, like, paid, but that just means they’re definitely not paid enough to deal with this Jedi bullshit.
share with us an Armorer headcanon please thank u
Just one???
I can’t do that. Have these.
The Armorer’s pronouns vary among their foundlings and the covert. They use all pronouns, so each person sort of lands on one or a few that feels right. Din calls them she/her, but freaks out when other people he knows call them that because that’s HIS set and people outside the covert don’t understand that; they just keep calling them his ‘mom.’ He is deeply offended on the Armorer’s behalf. They do not care that much.
The only exception to this is that when orders are given out, they want a ‘yes, sir’ and nothing less.
The Armorer has tried to poison Elder Vizsla (Paz’s grandparent) on no fewer than four occasions.
The Armorer is very close to their Second in Command, Eegang. Eegang reciprocates the closeness, but also is subject to some of the Armorer’s innermost thoughts, many of which make him check over his shoulders at least twice a day.
The Armorer only drinks clear liquor.
They love all of their children (including the estranged ones), but get along best with Din and Shimmol (their youngest daughter) because those two do such stupid and wild shit so seriously that it makes them laugh.
The Armorer’s sleep schedule is less of a schedule and more of a pile of hours with a label on them that says ‘sleep?’
They met Jango once. They were not impressed.
They only know about Jedi because they were once weirdly invested in Obi-Wan and Satine Kryze’s affairs as covered by Mandalorian tabloids.
They consider Grogu their grandchild.
They are interested in Luke and are trying to figure out if he is going to try to seduce Din into an affair (see: Obi-Wan and Satine Tabloid Stories).
They have already adopted Boba and Fennec without having met them.
This is what I have for now. I will ruminate on this further.
Padmé wasn’t there to wipe the tears away, or kiss the bruises better… so Ahsoka made do the best she could.
Luke didn’t have a mummy, but he had an Ahsoka —and she could make the world go round.
(Kenobi Tano AU)
The comments on my last post are sending me, so have some more TFU Boba, because while he may not be thirsty, you all sure are.
And don’t forget to say thank you to the comic’s artists, Omar Francia and Manuel Silva.
If you want to read the whole comic yourself, you can find the whole thing on readcomicsonline. I didn’t screenshot everything. ;)
Because I keep forgetting this headcanon and need to remind myself:
The Armorer studies the fighting style of all the Mandalorians in their covert. Each one she watches, notes their strengths and weaknesses, and adjusts their armor accordingly as resources allow. All warriors are unique, and despite their many strengths, all have at least one weakness that could prove fatal. She realizes early on that Din Djarin always tends to lead with his right shoulder and consequently takes most of his hits there (check out chapters 1, 2, and 12 for starters, I think there’s more as well). So when he brings back an ingot of pure beskar, it’s not just idle fancy that leads her to immediately make him a right pauldron first off.
The vod has a blind spot the size of a bantha over this shoulder, she thinks as she forges the gleaming beskar. But perhaps I can help him keep this arm yet.
Dex’s Diner, Coruscant. We only do happy scenes here because I, the artist, am a big baby. 😢 Thanks for all the suggestions everyone! There are a few character specific requests that I will try to get to soon. 😊
REBELS APPRECIATION WEEK 2021
DAY TWO: FAVORITE CREATURE - LOTH CAT
Bonus +
I hope there’s a moment in the context of The Mandalorian where Ahsoka and Bo-Katan have a shouting match while Din is off on the side with Boba like “Wait you two have beef?” (and Boba’s just like ‘oh hey, I remember Tano, I threatened to shoot multiple members of her family when I was like twelve’)
Apparently Bo-Katan acts like they’re friends when she talks to Din? Ahsoka responds to the ‘friendly’ Bo-Katan on sight with “I don’t know if you’ve forgotten the multiple times you tried to kill me when I was a teenager, but I haven’t.”
There are several Mandalorians in this room that know Ahsoka! Bo-Katan knows her better than most! But she’s also the person Ahsoka has most reason to dislike. It’s not a fight on sight but Bo-Katan acting like they’re friends sure isn’t helping anything.
Meanwhile, Ahsoka’s biggest memories of Boba all involve him being a murderous teenybopper in desperate need of therapy and less-terrible adult supervision.
Ahsoka: Remember that time you were like four feet tall and tried to shoot my grandpa? Boba: I was twelve and trying to shoot everyone.
IDK what exactly happened I just know screenshots of Boba holding a blaster to Plo’s head
Ahsoka brings Rex with her because someone deserves to give vod'ika Boba a noogie. Just… Rex and Wolffe show up looking Old As Balls to bully Boba and suddenly Boba’s acting like a teenager and Din has no idea why.
Unidentified Off-Screen Clone Voice: Little brother! Boba, eyes widening: Oh, son of a bitch. Off-Screen Clone: Our mother was science, Boba. Boba: HOW ARE YOU STILL ALIVE
@gelpenss said:
The funniest thing would be Ahsoka and Rex going “awww boba found some chill” While boba is spectacularly unchill in the background
Din: I thought only Fennec got away with bullying Boba
Slightly more spiteful bickering comes up (idk something about the chips and Boba still being 'the lucky one’ despite everything), Din tries to interfere but Ahsoka and Bo-Katan both get in the way like “no, you don’t wanna get involved in clone politics, this is between them.”
Taking one quote from the prequels and running with it all the way to space. Also, combined a couple of requests from a while ago. 😊
