“Hurry it up, Dooku!”

[rochenn]

i am so normal about atrem. perhaps even typical. that being said do you have any equally as normal thoughts?

Oh yeah, I'm absolutely bog standard about him. Not at all punching the air when he's on my mind.

I've been thinking about him lately!! He was created in a horny daze and didn't have much backstory but it's all coming together now. Like how Atrem was Serenno's court tailor way before his little Thing with Dooku actually started. Every few years he'd show up to the castle and take new orders, including Asajj's sithly attire when she began her apprenticeship. Everything about this arrangement stayed perfectly professional until Asajj was betrayed, once again leaving Dooku as the galaxy's loneliest wretch, which made Atrem's semi-familiar, non-hostile presence much more enticing to him. I mean. Imagine your boss makes you kill your precious protegé and one week later the only person who ever touches you gently anymore rocks up to re-take your measurements. And you ARE touched gently, and someone DOES make conversation with zero ulterior motive with you. That's fucked up. Meanwhile Atrem projects his own daughter issues on the sudden lack of mean-faced 30yo goths in the castle <3 life is beautiful

Thinking about Dooku in distress and pain is one of my favorite things ever. Makes my heart swell. I should pull up some old whumptober prompts or whatever and practice writing drabbles, that would probably be sexy

[rochenn]

He’s so pretty… I want him to be grievously injured

obsessing over single lines in dark rendezvous again

and thinking about how a sith blood oath ritual could be, with the context of sidious & dooku attacking the bond between yoda & dooku using dooku's blood. is it a sith sorcery ritual where the exchange of blood fuels the bond between master & apprentice instead of a bond forming naturally over time?

but now i know sean stewart wrote this book in four months so there's also the suspicion that it's there because it sounded cool and creepy.

TEAM FORTRESS 7TH COMIC IS OUT???????

cuntiness is such an important character trait

I'm not sure if you're taking drawing suggestions; I understand things can get overwhelming, but- we've seen Dooku in his winter best, and a truly marvelous creature he is; what about summer? Given the range of climates across the galaxy he must have at least one moderately horrific shirt.

love your soggy cat old man!

Not the horrific shirt you asked for because I read summer Dooku and blacked out

Since it’s my birthday this weekend, I’m giving myself the gift of rewatching the original trilogy and I’m having so much fun, god, I love Star Wars.

I haven’t rewatched the OT as recently as I have the prequels or certain TCW seasons, and because I can’t look at literally anything in existence without thinking of Dooku (eg., a potato, a used piece of floss, an electric bill), I can’t not take a moment to compare and contrast Vader and Dooku in their respective roles as Sith apprentice. Namely, to reflect on how my fav is a kind of a sad loser in comparison. Just a couple random thoughts:

Vader is choking out disposable underlings over zoom whereas Dooku in TCW is the disposable underling getting choked out lol, F, sorry, bro, I wonder how close Sidious came to actually killing him in that one episode, you know he thought about it

Vader is on the Rebel's heels in the opening scene, first through the doors at Hoth, he’s a step ahead of the gang on Cloud City. So proactive! So competent! It’s an interesting contrast between that go-get-'em 110% attitude and Dooku’s constant refrain of “can’t someone else do it?” Dooku, being asked to do something in his job description:

You have to know the minute Vader started talking what-ifs about how Luke “could be turned, something-something, powerful ally!!”, Sidious was quietly thinking “oh not this fucking shit again” and getting flashbacks to Dooku bleating that about Rael, Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan, probably Sifo-Dyas

I found that same “the son of Anakin Skywalker” conversation between Sidious and Vader very interesting. And I'm not trying to make too much out of this, because, of course, they can't spoil the I-am-your-father reveal, so Sidious refers to Anakin Skywalker in the third person instead of "your son" and of course, Vader-is-Anakin is an in-universe secret, too. But they're in private in that scene, and I can't help but notice how differently Sidious treats the Tyranus - Dooku alter ego - also an in-universe secret. He might call Dooku Tyranus, but whenever Dooku's Jedi past comes up, Sidious consistently uses "you." Tyranus's past isn't dead to Sidious, it's something he actively throws in Dooku's face. I'm thinking about Sidious's sneering line in Dark Rendezvous about Yoda: "Did you love him?"

Mentioning Dooku once in a fic that is NOT about him and having to physically restrain myself from making it somehow all about him

Compound words with triple consonants my fucking BELOVED

george lucas, remarkably unsubtley, over and over again: the fall of the republic was because of corporate interests interfering with politics and increased complacency with fascist ideas in the face of a manufactured war

everyone, for some reason: so the jedi were the REAL villains because they didn’t get married
