My acquisition of Boba Fett by Mike Mez Phillips

[mirensiart]

Ok I have to ask bc you mentioned in the info post Chain sends the money to his mom, what would happen if Chain had to return home for a bit while attached to Key? Like his siblings are happy to see Chain while his mom is just *Tails Gets Trolled face*

I'M REPLYING LIKE A MONTH LATER I'M SO SORRY!!!!

Your ask got buried in my ask box 😭

His siblings would be all happy to see him and like I can see some of the little ones going back to mom and being like

"Mama! Link came back! Also, he brought a girlfriend :D"

And mom's like, "wow about time!" And she'll go out to meet him and I can see all these things going through her head like:

1. Wait is that princess zelda

2. THE princess zelda who's a fugitive and a murderer

3. MY SON IS DATING A CRIMINAL?!

4. WHY ARE THEY CHAINED?!?!?!?!

Cue Mom grabbing him by the ear someplace far from her other kids (with key being dragged along cause lmao) and demanding an explanation and a very embarrassed Chain explaining that

1. Yes that is princess zelda

2. Yes she is a fugitive and a maybe on the murderer (key resents that)

3. NO WE ARE NOT DATING MOM WTF

4. I lost the key to the chains lmao also I'm helping her out cause she offered me to pay me double her bounty if I did

Mom is very worried, but like, they do need the money and she knows he is capable so she let's him go with just a small scolding lol

His siblings are convinced he's dating a criminal though lmao

maybe this is an idiotic fantasy of mine but with one of Star Wars’ central recurring plots being about corrupt governments and how they’re bad, it would be nice if any of the writers knew anything about governments at all, or even had the slightest bit of curiosity about, say, all the weird ways that states offload power to corporations and NGOs, especially in politically unstable areas. might be cool

[maulfucker]

do you think there were obi-wan impersonators during the clone wars era. do you think they officiated weddings like elvis impersonators.

You can run but you're only making a mess. There's already poison running in your veins. Do you enjoy being hunted? He can play that game, if that's your wish.

Working on some new ocs (they are enemies to friends to reluctance acquaintances to coworkers to allies to lovers to ex lovers to nemesis to soulmates to)

Also I’m on art fight this year (despite being very slow)

[trashquisitor-shirozora]

I just read your mando episode 1 thoughts and I’m really glad you also didn’t like the Nevarro changes like I love Nevarro and I watched the episode and was like hm… Nevarro is… boring now…

Hello there, Anon! Finally getting around to this ask but it's been on my mind. It just really, really bothers me how flat and boring Nevarro is now. I liked the appeal of a grimy, hardscrabble planet that scraped by with work by the Bounty Hunters Guild, trade, and shadier, more illicit activities. It was a fun and fascinating look into the Outer Rim away from the likes of Tatooine, and now that's gone. Now Nevarro looks and sounds like a freaking Renn Faire trying to eat its cake as some cleaned up and respectacle independent trade center, and I feel like a joke watching it.

The entire season premiere was a mixed bag of decisions and the choices made with Nevarro really damped my already low expectations. Really hope the only way now is up.

"Wait a minute ..." It took a moment, but the name finally hooked up with a memory synapse inside Dengar's head. "Ree Duptom - he's the only one who ever got booted out of the Bounty Hunters Guild!" That took some doing, Dengar knew; there had been plenty of creatures in the Guild whose ethical standards had been way below his own. He wasn't familiar with the exact details - Duptom had been booted out of the Bounty Hunters Guild before Dengar had joined it - but there had been an unspoken legend attached to him, as being the one creature that all other bounty hunters considered scum.

Two Bounty Hunters Walk Into a Guild Meeting

Pairing(s): None

Characters: Aryia, Despel (both our bounty hunter characters we do quest stuff together with. yes I know my dude's outfit is ridiculous. no i am not gonna change it lmao)

⚠️ Warnings!: Some stripping (not completely naked though haha)

A/N: So this is just a silly drabble based on the time my friend and I were playing our bounty hunter characters and I decided to have my character dance naked at a guild meetup. Sorry guild members 😔 I can't resist memeing

______________________________________________________________

A cool breeze swept through the green hills and jagged peaks of Balmorra. Sweeping through the long plains until it reached the planetary hub, Sobrik.

Descending the steps of the spaceport, Beef let out a bellowing sneeze that would have shook the earth were it physically possible. Beef was a big man, meaning his sneezes were naturally loud to match his size.

He was a unit of a Rattaki man, adorned with metallic piercings and fearsome face tattoos to match. He was blessed with the charm of a half-baked ahk dog, and a love for bloodshed that was only beat by his even greater love for money.

Beef surveyed the surrounding area with wary eyes, wiping his pierced nose with the back of his gloved hand.

"God fucking damn it," a disgruntled woman's voice called out not far behind him. "I gave you tissues for a reason, they aren't just there for decoration."

Aryia hopped down the steps at a brisk pace to keep up. Where Beef was tall, broad and muscular, with an intimidating disposition, the small Chiss woman he travelled with was the opposite.

She was small and lithe, which helped her more than you would think in their line of work. Beef once called her "fun-sized," which had nearly gotten him blown up.

She appeared well-groomed. Hair always back in a slightly messy updo. Her dark red eyes framed by vivid magenta shadow betrayed none of her intentions. She was a like a rock, stoic and unreadable. If she didn't have a noticeable scaring across one half of her face, one might mistake her for an imperial drone instead of a fearsome bounty hunter.

Even then, her enemies seemed to underestimate her due to her petite feminine appearance.

How could an adorable tiny Chiss woman in bounty hunter armour possibly pose any threat? Only her enemies, and occasionally Beef would know once she decided to strike.

"Fuck off, I can do what I want," Beef replied with a grumble, causing both Mako and Aryia to roll their eyes.

If Aryia and Mako rolled their eyes every time Beef opened his mouth to make a dumb unnecessary comment, they'd both have to go to a med bay on the fleet to see an optometrist.

As they made their way further into Sobrik city center, the two bounty hunters noticed that there was more hustle and bustle then usual. There were a plethora of various Sith Lords, Darths, Imperial Agents, and Mandalorian Bounty Hunters.

"Didn't expect this planet to get as much action as this," Looking around Aryia took in the appearance of true full fledged bounty hunters.

These were true warriors who had fought their ways to the top of the food chain. The kind of hunters who had carved their reputation into the bones of their enemies with their bloodied fingernails. They'd worked harder then any. Their scar covered faces, and elaborate armour sets.

One day Aryia would reap the same rewards. All the glory and honour would be hers when she became the victor of the great hunt. Or in this case "they" would be the victors.

Aryia was still getting used to the whole partner thing. She'd always been more of a lone wolf, which was quite normal if one wanted to take up the bounty hunter profession. But her and Beef had both mutually bonded over nearly getting assisted by Tarro Blood's men. Somehow that had gotten them travelling the galaxy together.

They were allies joined by a mutual enemy, not friends, they'd never be friends. Right?

As they made their way further into the throng of the crowd, Beef seemed to be eyeing up a group of more revealingly dressed sith sorcerer's. Didn't matter the gender, if there was skin being shown, or a tight outfit, Beef's eyes were gonna end up wandering that way.

"I think they're all in one of those fancy clubs," Aryia looked over at Beef as he made this statement. Her brow thoroughed in skepticism.

"You think? They all seem pretty different. Not a whole lot of unifying aspects to them." Pointing from a Sith warrior clad in black battle armour, over to an imperial agent in tightly fitting pink bodysuit. What a weird choice for a profession that relied on being under the radar.

"Yeah, sometimes I have the ability to think. If you look closely they all have the same little pin. Like one of those coat of arms things." He was correct surprisingly this time. As Aryia observed they all did have the same emblem either in the form of a pin or embroidery worked into their uniforms and armour.

"Well, imagine that. Why would these fancy guild members be all the way out here on Balmorra?" Her question wasn't ever gonna get answered, as she was interrupted by the sound of armour shifting and unbuckling. " What the fuck are you doing?"

Both Beef and Aryia had made their way around a corner to a less busier side street. Thank the gods, because she was now witnessing insanity. Not unusual from her companion.

"I'm gonna show them what a real bounty hunter looks like in the flesh." His voice was loud enough to carry to a couple other onlookers, who turned to whisper at each other.

"You do know 'in the flesh' is a turn of phrase and not a literal instruction," Aryia growled as Beef proceeded to take of his gear piece by piece with great haste.

It was almost impressive how he'd managed to get his chest piece off in the short conversation they'd had about his current stroke of insanity. He would call it eccentricity.

Hopping on one foot, he started to work on the lower half of his gear. Beef's massive chest and arms were exposed to the world, and the rest of him would follow not long after.

Aryia briefly debated shooting him in the knee and dragging him away so he wouldn't do what he was about to do. However, not only did she have witnesses, but it felt like a waste of ammo.

So instead Aryia settled for turning away and mashing ball of her hand into her aching head. Just another day babysitting this man-child with a shotgun.

Within a matter of second he stood beside her, clad in only his thermal underwear, which was a must when travelling to planets with unpredictable weather.

They were definitely gonna get arrested. Or, at least Beef was, and Aryia was gonna have to bail him out.

"Please put your gear back on." She didn't want to beg, but she was so tempted to.

"I'm not done yet. The fun part still hasn't happened." With that, he was off.

Full sprint, the massive Rattataki man barrelled into the center of the crowded guild meeting. Aryia could only watch on in horror from the sidelines.

Shoving aside various members of the guild, attracting both appalled gasps and nervous laughter, Beef found his perfect stage for what he was about to do.

Standing in front of the railing on the elevated platform which lead to one of the buildings, Beef began to dance. His dancing skills were majestic to his own eyes alone. To Aryia he looked like like someone suffering from a massive hernia when he would try to bust a move.

At least when he danced in public it was at a club and he was fully clothed. This was beyond awful.

She could see the horror and confusion on the guild members faces as he kept shaking his substantial ass and throwing his head back and forth. He moved his arms vigorously, making Aryia grateful no one was close enough to get clipped in the nose, like the last time he tried to dance.

One person whistled and some laughter followed. Clearly some people were at least amused. However, that did not reduce the embarrassment of the display.

Just another day working with the world's dumbest bounty hunter.

Aryia decided she would let him have his weird little moment and started on her way to their mission. He would meet her there when he was done flashing the guild members. What an idiot.

*asks you about world building*

*sickos haha yes image*

All my stories take place in roughly the same timeframe in largely the same environment: hesitantly named Synsolic as an analogue to Earth (I may change that later because I don't know if I like it but it's stuck for a while now so. We'll see)

It's fantasy because I am a sucker for fantasy, populated by humans, merfolk, fauns, satyrs, ipotanes, and nightlings- which are also called shadowlings or aveoliths in varying contexts. I know "faun'' and ''satyr" are largely used interchangeably in a lot of things, but they're different species, here, though they share similarities with each other as well as with ipotanes, the other ungulate species. Merfolk are actually made up of two subspecies, iarans and nix, but while they differ physiologically in a lot of ways, culturally they are one and the same, so they're generally grouped together. I think that's as far as I'm going to get into species things for now, because I've got *checks notes* 32 pages of species things in my own nonsense word docs and I really don't think you want all of that. Unless...

BUT

The world as it is now has been fractured. I hesitate to call it post-apocalyptic because that implies a level of supernaturality and/or violence that generally isn't present, but the gist of it is that over a century past, in the mountain range at the northern edge of the continent, the tallest peak erupted. Think Mt. Taupō or Mt Tambora, with some variation. The ash, the pyroclastic flow, the acid rains and sulfide clouds, combined with the continued effects that the material that made it into the stratosphere had on climate in the next few years, contributed to a heavy death toll. Even after the initial activity ceased, cities fell just because they couldn't feed themselves in the unnatural winter that followed, in the subsequent years' lack of a true summer. The sulfuric content released poisoned the air, especially close to the mountain, though if you were close to the mountain, you were probably dead anyway from that initial eruption, just from being buried in ash or debris. More people were lost than can be counted- in the hours after the eruption, but also in the years that followed.

Some were affected more than others. Merfolk, occupying mostly the southern seas and having the added protection of the waters' surface, retained more of their infrastructure, and with it, knowledge and history, more of their people, than terrestrial humanoids. Satyrs had typically occupied the forests in the north, and so there are very few, if any, true satyr cities remaining. As a result, merfolk are now known for their knowledge of technologies that were lost to others, and satyrs are largely travelers or scattered among other species, unlike fauns, humans, and ipotanes, who have places that are more theirs. (The species are not completely distinct, they live amongst each other in a lot of cases, but there are places that are mostly fauns, or mostly humans, for example, where other species are more a minority. Satyrs don't really have that.)

It has been a long time since the cataclysm. Nobody currently alive lived it, in fact, there are few that even remember somebody who did, and if they did, they were almost too young to know it. But it lingers in the way that things are, now. Cities don't really exist as much as towns or villages, small settlements that can support themselves with little outside influence. There's not a whole lot in the way of governmental influence, and there's definitely not any nations anymore, though they were more of city-states before, anyway. This is a double-edged sword, because the cataclysm made people come together in a way they weren't previously, but it also gave people who wanted to use or harm others an easy avenue to do it, with no formal punishment a disincentive.

The world is mostly in-betweens. Towns or herds or any other type of community are few and far between, and in the spaces linking them is just a vast wilderness that, too, has been changed by the cataclysm. Ash is rich soil. There are forests where there were once prairies and there are rivers that were redirected. The closer you get to the mountain, the more changed things have been. The landscape is scattered with overgrown ruins, again, with increasing density as you draw closer to the source. People are isolated because of this vast space they must span in order to reach others. There are many travelers, but they rarely cross paths, because how could they? There is so much space.

There is SO much more I could say but for the sake of your sanity I'll leave it here. Extremely swag of you to indulge me and if you EVER are actually interested in me elaborating on literally anything PLEASE ASK. I WILL GLADLY

And mostly The Dead Isle with a little The Deft Blade!

Featuring the afterlife's worst, most homoerotic detectives- and the people who have to put up with them.

[wtfforged]

my campaign hiatus has gone on for too long so to cope ive combined my interests at their maximum potency and had some dnd-strawhats thoughts

thoughts in depth under read more... :)!

this is SO self indulgent. their designs literally did not change. but i am a firm believer that dnd doesnt have to be european high fantasy. and also one piece literally IS fantasy. no changes are necessary to fit into dnd. ive already imagined plenty of campaign/oneshot ideas inspired by one piece. so this was basically just an exercise of trying to replicate their canon abilities in dnd 5e as much as possible without totally homebrewing everything. well. aside from luffy. you just cant take away or change his stretching.

LUFFY: (human monk. drunken master subclass. outlander)

the only plain human of the crew to balance out with the fact that he still has rubber powers. obviously a monk. but drunken master subclass specifically because i think the flavor(not the fact that its about being a drunkard) and abilities both fit him really well. this line in the subclass' flavortext especially fits him: "A drunken master often enjoys playing the fool to bring gladness to the despondent or to demonstrate humility to the arrogant, but when battle is joined, the drunken master can be a maddening, masterful foe."

ZORO: (tiefling fighter. samurai subclass. bounty hunter)

a fighter with the samurai subclass is so very incredibly obvious... but i actually had a lot of fun geeking out while comparing the abilities to what he can do in canon; Fighting Spirit, Rapid Strike, and Strength Before Death especially! tiefling is also pretty on the nose for his demon pirate hunter shtick and asura form, but i thought he'd be really human-passing for a tiefling and theorized about his tail getting cut off at some point or another before joining the strawhats. initially wasnt gonna give him a feat, but i gave sanji a feat so i thought itd be unfair to not give him one as well, so sentinel fits the bill pretty well i think!

NAMI: (tabaxi rogue. arcane trickster subclass. criminal)

cat burglar -> full grown literal humanoid cat. this one is INCREDIBLY self indulgent... i love... cats... theres nothing deeper to this and no other reasoning. i took cat burglar and ran with it. can you tell that i love izutsumi dungeon meshi? rogue for the aforementioned burglar-ing as well, and the arcane trickster subclass for when she picks up climatact! the mage hand will be very useful for her pickpocketing. in the future as she levels up with timeskip, i can totally see her multiclassing into wizard as well! weather wizard!

USOPP: (lightfoot halfling artificer. artillerist subclass. urchin)

I HAD SO MUCH FUN THINKING ABOUT HIS CHARACTER SHEET. halfling's Naturally Stealthy ability lets him hide behind his crewmates since theyre (almost) all bigger than him, so its perfect for hiding behind zoro or sanji all the time. Lucky is also perfect for him, and I think Brave fits pretty well too when he puts on the sogeking mask. artillerist artificer is also very fun! tinkering and making magic items for his crew, and i think Eldritch Canon or Arcane Firearm could both be easily reflavored as kabuto or any of his inventions. for emphasizing his sniper-ness, the spell sniper feat was also necessary. i think hes my favorite of all the concepts. big ears and long nose combo is so cute to me.

SANJI: (half-elf monk. drunken master subclass. guild artisan (cook!))

race was mostly based on vibes i wont lie. squints. and that vinsmoke balogna or whatever too ig. but mostly vibes. along with the idea that i think a dwarf zeff raising him would be really funny and cute. monk is also obvious, and same subclass as luffy for mostly the same reasons. though the flavor fits him much less, i think the abilities still fit him perfectly, and this blurb specifically; "Your martial arts technique mixes combat training with the precision of a dancer." i really wanted to give him a different subclass from luffy, but i dislike all the other monk subclasses a lot and i found none of them fit him as well anyways, so to try and give them SOME differences, i gave him the crusher feat.

CHOPPER: (awakened deer(shifter statblock) cleric. life subclass. hermit)

this ones definitely a mouthful im sorry. awakened deer for obvious reasons, but due to magic instead of devil fruit stuff. when i was struggling with his race, i looked a lot at shifter because of his forms, but it occurred to me that itd be super cool if he could shift between all of the different shifter options instead of being stuck with just one to replicate his rumble balls. something like heavy point/guard point=beasthide, horn point/arm point(?maybe?)=longtooth, walk point/jumping point=swiftstride, and brain point=wildhunt. hed definitely need some kind of nerf though to balance out that homebrew... and cleric for class. duh.

ROBIN: (high elf wizard. order of scribes subclass. criminal)

robin is definitely the one i struggled the most with just because of her class. elf came pretty easily- shes very elegant and i think shed look cute with super long ears- and i landed on high elf instead of wood elf for the int-based abilities. i was really on the fence between sorcerer and wizard for her because i knew shed be a full spellcaster, but i didnt feel that any of the subclasses really fit her. i ended up going with wizard for order of the scribes since it focuses on texts and knowing everything. but also because robin with a flying talking sentient book would be crazy cool. it could also be similar to how she spawns mouths and eyes places to talk to or watch people. my "fuck it, why not. this would be rad. its my house" mindset kicked in with her i will admit. also the One with the Word ability made me cackle out loud when i read it. thats the funniest ability ever. anyways, i cant really think of a way to replicate her powers, but maybe we could just reflavor a bunch of spells to be her limbs or clutch; hold person, maximillian's earthen grasp, or evard's black tentacles. thatd probably work okay, and theres a handful of spells to replicate her ability to spawn eyes or mouths. unrelated, but i imagine nico olvia to be a drow. why? her hair is white. i am a simple man!

[steeiydan]

i love unhinged takes like "having women be in positions of power in media is misogynist" cause they're soooo fucking stupid
