“The question isn’t who’s going to let me; it’s who’s going to stop me?”
— Ayn Rand
Literally me and my dnd party
wake up besties, new meme format just dropped
I watched the humans go into the rec room and lock the door behind them, just like they’ve done once a week for the last month. Captain said to let them have their space, but I couldn’t help but wonder what they did every week.
Tonight I would find out.
I waited until they’d been in there for 30 minutes or so before quietly approaching the door. I sat on the ground and tried to listen. It was very hard to hear anything.
And then something came through very clearly.
“I will stab you!”
“This doesn’t concern you.”
“Like hell it doesn’t concern me. That’s cheating!”
“If both parties agree to the trade, it’s not against the rules.”
“That’s not a real trade and you both know it!”
I discovered I was holding my breath when the humans quieted down and I let it out quite suddenly. Whatever was happening, they seemed distraught.
It was five minutes later when I could hear them again.
“You liar!”
“I didn’t lie.”
“You said you didn’t have any cards!”
“No, I said you weren’t getting any cards.”
“I rolled a seven, that means I get a card.”
“Then why didn’t you take one?”
The next sound was one of a human tackling another. I also heard something falling or breaking. I wasn’t sure. I knew I needed help.
I ran to get the Captain. He’s the only one the humans would listen to when they’re upset. It took some convincing to get him to follow me, but he finally unlocked the door.
It swung open to reveal five humans at a table, cards in hand, and a hexagonal board game on the table. I was confused.
“Derek, how is game night going?” Captain asked.
“Be better if Rosa would stop cheating with Joey,” Derek grumbled.
“I’m not the one who tossed the board to the ground like a toddler,” Rosa replied smugly.
“But, but I heard-“
“Let the humans have their fun. Game night is one of the few harmless activities they have,” the captain interrupted.
He shut the door, and sent me away. I went to bed dumbfounded at how violent the humans words were, and yet how calm they appeared at the table. Game night must be quite the ordeal.
“if no art makes you feel anything, make your own art and feel something” is too raw of a line to have come from a jenna marbles video of her painting a rainbow/polka dot seahorse saying “it’s seahorse time” on a denim jacket
Waxer (he would spoil her and get her a pet)
Boil (pretends he's annoyed by a younger sibling but absolutely adores her)
Cody (the most gentle brother ever. He's use to scared shinies. He knows how to comfort younger siblings)
Tup (he would teach her how to take care of her hair and would braid it all the time)
Kix (she was a medical assistant. They would get along so well! He would help teach her more)
Hardcase (is goofy and is always making her laugh)
Dogma (scared shitless that he's gonna mess up somehow. Almost cries when Omega first hugs him)
Fives (he would be a bad influence but bring her on adventures)
Jesse (is accompanying Fives and Omega on adventures)
Hevy (goes to 99 to ask how to care for his little sister. Is completely clueless about everything)
Droidbait (will sneak around with her. Will immediately take all the blame if caught)
Cutup (Assumes Fives knows how to care for a child because he practically is one. Ends up also going to 99 for advice)
Bly (immediately wants to show her the entire galaxy and takes her to meet Ayla)
Fox (extremely over protective. You even look at his little sister wrong, you will never be seen again)
Thorn ("I have a sister?!?!" Starts showing her around and buying her snack)
Hound (Grizzer absolutely adores her. Omega always comes to say hi to both of them)
Thire ("I've only known Omega for a day but if anything were to happen to her, I would kill everyone on Corruscant and then myself-")
Wolffe (extremely protective older brother)
Boost (reminds him of Ahsoka. Will protect her at any cost)
Sinker (also is reminded of Ahsoka. Drags Boost and Omega on snack runs)
I have this weird headcanon that Thorn was named by Fox in a “Why are you a Thorn in my side?” And Thorn just ran with it kind of way… well, here’s the rest of the commanders as they are accidentally named by Fox.
Stone (who accidentally ate something he wasn’t supposed to and Fox is coming to replace him in patrol)
Senator: “Are you high?”
Fox, panicking: “No, he’s stoned. I mean his name is Stone and he’s in training.”
Thire (who was talking about Thorn with Fox)
Thire: *yawns*
Fox, also tired and stopping mid-sentence: “You’re Thired. Go to bed. We’ll continue this in the morning.”
I feel like its a running joke in the Guard that vode are taking Fox’s insults and misspeaks and are like “yup. You will never live this down. This is my name now.”
“Move, Caff. I need away.” (Move away. I need caff)
“Unless the Chancellor is dying, I don’t want to hear it, Shehn'eta (was trying to say shiny or vod’ika and his brain mixed them ended up with 80 in Mando’a) (now the shiny is called 80 despite not having those numbers in his designation. He loves telling the story though )
150 word challenge! Eddie has to watch Hermes and Tom while the dads are out! We need more Eddie interactions lol
150 words exactly!! I'm proud of this one! It's a lot harder than I thought to finish a whole idea/scene in so few words. But it was a good sort of challenging!
"Grandpa Eddie! Grandpa Eddie!"
"Yes, Hermes?" the man questioned, snagging the child off the ground to stop the constant running. Hermes giggled as Eddie pulled them further and further into the air.
"Tom wants a snack! He's hungry," Hermes claimed.
"Oh, Tom wants a snack? Not you?"
"Me too! Me too, Grandpa Eddie!"
"Well, we should go ask your brother what he wants for his snack, shouldn't we?"
Hermes barely hesitated before agreeing. "Yeah, Tom can choose the snack!"
The child in Eddie's arms began wriggling around to escape the hold. The grandfather released Hermes, only to watch them speed off in the direction of their brother.
"Hey Tom-tom, what snack do you want?"
"Snack? Can have juice? And carrots?"
"Of course you can have juice and carrots, Tom," Eddie agreed easily, ruffling the small child's hair gently, eliciting a grin from the boy. "Do you want the same, Hermes?"
"Yes, please!"
OBI-WAN KENOBI 1.01 | Part I
do you see this shit my liege
Humans have no time for other planet’s savior complexes.
The first huge battle between us and an outer space fleet happened before we even got out of our solar system. They flew down and held the planet hostage, made threats, the whole shebang. The Galactic Syndicate catches word of it; one of the warring planets taking control of a tiny, defenseless planet right on the edge of their borders? Well, that doesn’t look good for them.
So they send ships down. The moment those doors open, the aliens have a gun in their face and a very angry, bruised, and beaten human glaring at them.
What they hadn’t been made aware of was that the humans had, more or less competently, handled the invasion. However, the introduction of outer space aliens had been somewhat of a shock to them and, as the human explained in less polite words, they had had their fill of outer space life forms, thank you very much.
But now Earth is on the map. News of their competence in the fight against their invaders passes through the systems and planet upon planet send down delegations to attempt to form relations with these strange new creatures. More often than not, they offer protection, with the uninformed belief that these soft, little bipeds need a strong defender. Those emissaries return to their planets rather hastily and steadfastly refuse to return to the backwater little planet.
Since then, many more invasions have happened on Earth, but no matter how many fleets are sent to help defend the humans, they are turned away. Some of the elders in the Syndicate claim it is human arrogance, refusing any help, stubborn, stupid creatures. Others find it fascinating, courageous, and a little bit sexy.
But the truth is, humans don’t trust well, and we don’t like to be in debt. We know how fast we can turn on each other; how fast do you think it would take for a mysterious, scientifically advanced, military deep space species to do the same, good intentions be damned?
No, best just to handle it ourselves.
