Ugly and old sketch but this is how friendship looks like for Huji, well she would be easily considered as a traitor.

Also I should draw Ventress more.

It is said the winged goddess rules the plants and fanged god the animals. Have you ever thought about why?

Beautiful gardens would form at her feet only to be turned to rot as he neared. So the goddess crafted life from clay because she saw how lonely her brother was from being surrounded by death. She made beautiful beasts that could not be killed by his touch. He finally had a pack of his own. Darkness began to rule Dathomir, the sunlight losing its hours more and more. To the point even all 4 moon had no light. Her flames were turning to ice as she drained so much of her energy to keep all of this life alive. The dark night threatens to claim her, all because she wanted to help him. In the desperate hopes to keep his sister alive, he goes on a slaughter. Soaking Dathomir in blood. Only keeping 7 beasts alive, the zodiacs. By balancing the scales she was able to bring light back on the solstice. This was what started the great Hunt, for her… because after all it was all for him to begin with. So every year when the moons turn cold, all of Dathomir commences in the great Hunt. In hopes to keep the cycle of life going. For if they fail to do so, they know the cold dark night would be one of eternity. The winged goddess must rise again with the sun.

Dathomir Daily

Blin’unic (pr: blin-uh-nick): literally “white”+ “foot”; the name of a nomadic clan of Dathomiri who travel between several others, trade, ply their skills there, and then move on.

They’re known for hardiness and stamina, being able to run for hours without stopping. They don’t wear foot coverings and their feet are very tough, and are almsot permanently stained white from dust (and callous).

They’re primarily projectile hunters and buy their vegetables and breads from the other clans. They’re one of the few clans the Nightsisters have never stolen a child from; they can’t catch them.

How you gonna have a mandalorian as your main character but have zero mando lore except “all dead”

[clearlyaginger]

so mad bc the one time I wrote a fan fiction I named a character something that idk sounded cool I was literally just grasping for anything that sounded unique and old and mildly intimidating.

You fucking know what happened several months AFTER I wrote it??? Do you????

I found out that that character's name is also the name of a fucking planet in the star wars universe.

Star Wars cat AU pt. 2: The Villains of the Prequels

Some pose studies I did of these evil goobers:

Sidious:

Maul:

Dooku:

Vader:

Lore:

<Lightningstrike/Sidious>

Name Meaning: Bolts of "Lightning" are very unpredictable, and they always "Strike" when you least expect it. It also represents his deadliness and power that of a lightning bolt.

Plus he also got struck by lightning across the right side of his face when he was a smol psychopath kitten during training at some ancient Darkhaven temple

He's the same size as Yoda/Horizonstar in my AU

He eats other dead cats

He tore Dooku's pelt and made it into a cape he wears sometimes

His nest is made out of cat pelts and bones(mostly from the victims of Order 66)

He is capable of Force Masking(a rare Force ability that allows one to shapeshift into anything. The only other cat who had this ability in the same period was Qui-Gon-Jinn/Sagepelt)

He is an albino cat, and his only physical weakness is bad eyesight

<Bloodburn/Maul>

Name Meaning: "Blood" symbolizes his bloody past, and the loss of his brothers, and "Burn" symbolizes his world and true self burning away.

He was formerly called Russetstorm, and lived with his two brothers, Tigertalon/Savage, and Amberspark/Feral.

Since Dathomir is a society where she-cats have more power, Poisonstar/Mother Talzin was fascinated and angered at the same time when her son, Russetstorm beat all the other she-cats during sparring.

Soon, she realizes that Russetstorm is Force Sensitive, and she tries to get rid of him by sending him off to Lightningstrike in exchange for valuable metals and other resources.

Russetstorm quickly finds out that Poisonstar is trying to get rid of him, so he runs away in the middle of the night with Tigertalon and Amberspark.

They didn't go far, as the two brothers were brutally slaughtered by the guards before Russetstorm's very eyes.

Russetstorm tips to the dark side in his fury and anguish, killing all the guards; Lightningstrike, noticing Russet's raw power in the Force, abducts him anyhow and seduces him to the ways of the dark side.

Years later, Poisonstar would meet her downfall by her son's own claws, which takes place two years before the events of The Phantom Menace, and Russetstorm would be renamed Bloodburn.

<Frostshard/Tyrantturn/Dooku>

I mentioned the meaning of Dooku's name in my first Cat AU post, so I'll be telling you his Sith name here

Name Meaning: "Tyrant" because Frostshard betrayed everything he once stood for, and "Turn" represents his fall to the dark side.

Since he was never a full Darkhavener, his pelt stayed clean and his eyes were normal and not orange like a typical Darkhavener.

When he got killed by Skyfire/Anakin, he gets stuck in the Dark Forest(cat hell), soul constantly glitching/shifting from Frostshard to Tyrantturn(who has a dead grey pelt and orange eyes)

<Deadsoul/Vader>

Name Meaning: I chose "Dead" because Skyfire/Anakin died when he turned to the dark side. He lost everything, with no reason to live except to serve Lightningstrike/Sidious until he died. 

I chose "Soul" because he is a lost soul wandering in the remains of his failures and losses. His body is functioning, but his spirit has been crushed into smithereens.

After his battle with Hazeldusk/Obi-Wan, his body gets reconstructed in the Dark Forest(which Lightningstrike opens a portal in Mustafar using the dark side of the Force)

Nine Darkhaven/Sith souls(Revan/Corvidheart, Maul/Bloodburn, Plagueis/Plagueshadow, Bane/Nightshade, Tyranus/Tyrantturn, Starkiller, Malgus/Stormcutter, Tenebrae/Vortexvoid, and Hellfire/founder of Darkhaven)were used for his life support, and each soul gave him the power of its owner(but only if he studied the different aspects of the Dark Force was he then able to obtain the soul's energy. Which he does with most of the time during the OG trilogy)

TALES OF THE EMPIRE wound up being a mixed bag for me, there was a lot I enjoyed but there was a lot that just felt really unfulfilled. Morgan's episodes were very pretty to look at but I couldn't help thinking--the entire time I was watching, even--that Filoni's not great at creating new characters that can carry entire episodes like this, none of this felt particularly necessary or like it was fulfilling a void that I wanted to know more about. It doesn't help that I still think her arc in live action was badly handled, that if she was meant to be a Nightsister from the beginning, her first episode should have dealt with that, instead of springing it on us later, so when filling in the background of her on Dathomir in TOTE, it brings all that up for me again.

Morgan's first episode was so pretty and it was interesting to potentially get more Dathomir lore (even if it's incredibly thin and I felt it was too close to the "we see others suffering in the galaxy, but we don't want to get our own hands dirty by fighting for other people or getting involved in helping others, btw we're morally better for that :)" trope for me personally) but everything on Corvus just felt superfluous to me and I spent time trying to figure out why I felt that way. If they had done her story this way or that way, would I have enjoyed it more? If they had included this or that, would I have thought it more necessary?

And ultimately I just kept coming back to that I don't really care about Morgan Elsbeth enough that I wanted three animated shorts dedicated to her, when I could have had so many other characters get fleshed out better. I appreciated that they were showing two characters on opposite journeys, that Morgan was falling into the dark step by step, while Barriss was slowly clawing her way out of it, but that's about all that I appreciated of Morgan's story (other than the beautiful animation).

But I'm not sure I feel like Morgan's motivations were all that well planned out. It's clear that she's looking for revenge and trying to find a new family at the same time, but it's not really clear why she's working with the Empire or how she thinks this leads her to her goals. Grievous is the one who murdered her village, how does working with the Empire (as the Separatists were folded into the Empire, too) achieve that goal? Who or what is her revenge focused on? Is it that she just wants the whole galaxy to burn, because if her village burned, so should everyone else? I feel like that's probably what they were going for, but that it could have been more coherently written.

Barriss' episodes hit a lot harder, where I'm glad that she at least got an arc, but I feel like it just missed so many marks, like why even have Vader there, I'm all for gratuitous Anakin cameos, he's my trash can man and I'm always excited to see him, but absolutely nothing was done with him, despite that he was looking Barriss right in the face there. Not even a moment of showing the audience, "Oh, his soul is so far into the dark of fear, hate, and rage that he doesn't even care about her anymore." Just nothing there, like there was no connection at all. How do you go to the lengths of putting Vader in a scene with Barriss and then treat it like there's no history between her and Anakin??? So completely unsatisfying!

And then it's another series where other guest appearances would have made sense--Barriss has a whole unfinished story with Ahsoka and you don't include her here? I'm as tired of Filoni putting Ahsoka in everything as anyone else, but here it would have made sense and would have brought that relationship full circle on-screen, Barriss' betrayal of her and her clawing her way back to the light after all the trauma and hurt, there's so much she and Ahsoka would have between them. And then nothing.

Or Barriss' relationship with Luminara, TCW never really got into how that must have felt for Luminara, to have her student betray the Jedi so profoundly, for her to fall to the dark, there's such a well of potential there and it's just entirely ignored. She mentions Luminara once and it was a lovely mention, but there's no sense of resolution or completion to that arc.

I did enjoy her story with Lyn and I try not to compare what the show wanted to do with what I wanted the show to do, but I couldn't help it. During all those scenes, all I could think was that this could have been so much more powerful and complete if it had focus on Barriss' established relationships and characters I already care about, because a new random Inquisitor is just not going to hold the same weight for me as my pre-investment in Ahsoka and Luminara. (On the other hand, with the way they butchered Luminara in the last season of TCW, maybe I dodged a bullet!)

For all that negativity, though, I really loved that Barriss found herself in being a healer again, that she found the light again. That's all I've wanted for my girl!!!! (That and put a headdress on her, ffs.) I legitimately took in a hard breath when she said, "Then you have one more Jedi to deal with." because Barriss is still working through too much to fully come back to clarity re: the Jedi at that point , but when it really came down to it, when she really saw what the dark side really was, part of her still was a Jedi. And the way she spoke of her time as a Jedi, once she had a clearer, lighter head again, was sweet, I was so surprised that we got that much from her, but I'm so glad because, if nothing else, Barriss herself deserves to be in the light again.

The way she was settled into her own skin by the time she confronted Lyn on the icy planet, the way she genuinely wanted to help her, but wouldn't let her hurt innocent children, the way she could sidestep Lyn's predictable moves and could stop the blade with just a hand held out, she found her path and what she wanted to do, and oh it was so lovely to see Barriss finding herself again. I loved so much that her unshakable compassion did reach Lyn, it was such a satisfying arc for Barriss to reach that place after all the people she'd hurt. I loved so much that Barriss getting back to this place does a lot to remind us that her foundation is a compassionate one, even if she was lost to the dark for awhile.

I just wish that there had been acknowledgement of those she hurt, the people that died because of her, the betrayal she stabbed people in the back with, rather than just "sees the dark side is bad, walks away, finds the light again", which goes back to that this feels like a generic story that's mostly impactful because I'm filling in the gaps myself because I already know Barriss as a character, rather than that it continues the story that was previously told about her.

At the end of the day, I enjoyed it and I recognize that I'm being a little unfair in how I'm saying I wanted this, this, and this, rather than digesting what the show itself wanted to do, but when you're crafting two stories that are specifically about showing us the journey of two characters that originate elsewhere, you're drawing on the stories from those other origins--except TOTE decided to only halfway do that. There's a lot to love in these shorts, the animation was incredible, the voice work was incredible, Barriss' emotional journey was incredible and I'm so thankful that they even gave her any kind of compassionate resolution. But the specter of how much the shorts ignored hangs over it too heavily for me to say that they were anywhere near what they could have been imo.

Dathomir (Canon)

Source: "Star Wars Encyclopedia: The Comprehensive Guide to the Star Wars Galaxy" is a Canon reference book published by Dorling Kindersley on November 7, 2024, in the United Kingdom and on November 19, 2024, in the United States. The book is an updated version of the previous reference books Ultimate Star Wars (2015) and Ultimate Star Wars, New Edition (2019)

[demigod-shenanigans]

So. A Star Wars Lost Trio Crossover AU. Spill.

There’s so much lore to this universe it’s actually ridiculous. There’s actually more but I’ll just ramble a bit for now

I originally came up with it for the lost trio week crossover prompt but didn’t end up finishing that fic because it was way too ambitious and I do not have the commitment for another longer fic right now

Anyway, backstory beats, starting with Leo:

-During the first year of the Clone Wars, Jedi Knight Esperanza Valdez crash lands on Dathomir. She spends a bunch of time trying to fix the Argo, but eventually has a run-in with an injured nightsister and nurses her back to health (because at heart Esperanza truly believes that you should help anyone you can). Nightsister in question takes her back to her clan and Esperanza stays with them and Leo is born during that time (does he have a second mom that’s a space witch in this universe? Possibly). Her and tiny Leo barely escape on the Argo when canon bad stuff happens and after that he grows up on Lothal, which is secure for now because it’s an unimportant world that the newly formed Empire isn’t super interested in. Esperanza has also technically been declared dead years ago, which helps.

-Leo grows up fixing up speeders and ships with his mom. He struggles to use Jedi powers, but he’s got a proficiency for nightsister magick, so Esperanza teaches him everything she picked up on Dathomir.

-Important note here: Leo is specifically a trans guy in this AU. His ancestors take zero issues with him learning magick when they still see him as a girl, but after he comes out they’re refusing to misgender him, meaning he’s technically not allowed to use magick because he’s a guy. Imagine trying to make magic fire with a bunch of annoyed ghosts hissing in your ears the whole time. Leo has a grand time. His relationship with his magick is very complex but Esperanza has always been very supportive of him doing whatever feels right to him. She loves her son so much.

-When Leo is fourteen, his mom disappears. He assumes the Empire found her but he doesn’t know for sure and he’s desperate to get her back.

Quick cut to Piper (speaking of cuts, I’ll put the rest of this under the cut because this post is way too long):

-Piper McLean is born to actor Tristan McLean and an unknown woman a year or two before the end of the Clone Wars. Shortly after her birth, her mother disappears, leaving her father heartbroken.

-Piper grows up all over the place. She’s traveling planet to planet with her dad, who will go wherever his next project calls him, and basically does whatever he can to make sure to keep Piper out of trouble with the Empire.

-When Piper is seven she becomes friends with the son of the lead actress that her dad is filming some sort of awful romcom with. Her and Jason only know each other for this one project and lose sight of each other after that, but because of their parents both being famous there’s a few stupid articles floating around the holonet speculating about these eight year olds having crushes on each other and whatnot

-Piper’s powers gradually appear over the years. This kid is extremely good at force persuasion, but she’s never been trained so mostly does it subconsciously. Tristan started picking up on this and was terrified she’d be taken away from him and the first time she got so upset she started levitating things he decided he had to take her out of the spotlight for her safety and sent her away to various Outer Rim boarding schools to make sure the Empire won’t find her

-Piper does not take this well and deals with it by constantly getting into shenanigans and getting herself kicked out of boarding schools.

-She meets Leo during one of these shenanigans, details unclear.

-She learns about his mom disappearing and has now also seen a bunch of shit regarding how the Empire treats people so she asks her dad if she can please please go back to traveling the galaxy with him she’s totally gonna behave and totally won’t use this as an excuse to spread messages of rebellion or help the new friend she’s brought along find intel on what happened to his mom <3

-So then her and Leo are going around the galaxy causing Problems for the Empire, featuring Leo’s beloved astromech Festus and the space ship he fixed up to try and find his mom, lovingly named the Argo II after his mom’s ship that disappeared along with her.

-Piper also tries to teach Leo force persuasion, with, uh. Mixed results

And, last but not least, Jason:

-He’s born on Coruscant, son of a famous actress and the senator of Coruscant.

-His older sister Thalia has been around since before the Temple fell but either their parents refused to give her away for training since there was no gain in it for them or the Jedi found her too late, looked at this little girl with obvious anger issues and were like “Nope” LOL

-Jason has no force powers aside from premonition that bad stuff is going to happen but he isn’t even sure that’s a power, that might just be anxiety LOL

-He’s seven when his sister disappears. Her powers have always been super obvious so her parents basically volunteered her for Project Harvester (their dad gets brownie points with the Emperor in return for sending Thalia off to get Inquisitor training, they get to brag that their daughter is doing something important, everyone wins (except for Jason and Thalia))

-Jason can never live up to his sister who’s off doing big important things elsewhere that he never got details about. He gets sent off to the Coruscant Imperial Academy where , gets top grades, and grows up thinking the Empire is genuinely trying to help people.

-During his final exams, he sacrifices a win over saving one of his team members (Gwen) who’s gravely injured during the training exercise. His instructors are displeased by this and basically deem him too soft to handle anything important. Reyna doesn’t want him to be punished alone so she says it was a mutual decision (they had shared leadership) and they’re therefore shipped off to unimportant Outer Rim world Lothal.

-Jason doesn’t get that this is a punishment because he thinks all parts of the galaxy are equally important (and he’s honestly just glad to be far, far away from his parents)

-With Lothal being where Leo grew up, this is where Jason eventually meets Leo for the first and Piper for the second time. Shenanigans ensue.

Tales of the Underworld: Ventress

Significance Beyond the Screen

Greeting! Let's talk about the significance of this scene. Now, we'll get a few things out of the way. Dark Disciple, if you're unfamiliar, is a story, that in a nutshell, follows Quinlan and Ventress, it came out in 2015. The main thing to keep in mind: this book was based on 8 scripted but uncompleted episodes of the Clone Wars we never got to see. The final episode of this arc being titled 'The Path." That is SUCH a downplay explanation of the book, but this intro is very long as is, so, perhaps we'll get into that later, mh?

Now, Quinlan's story gets a little tricky, there's a lot in legends and in the comics that can make his lore hard to follow in complete depth. For the sake of this post, let's talk timeline, this also gets a little crowded, so hold on; Dark Disciple takes place after season 6, but before the Siege of Mandalore. After the first four episodes of S7 (I.e. TBB introduction) is where chapters 1-25 will take place, then, the comic series Darth Maul: Son of Dathomir takes place before chapters 26-42. Then, you'd reach the SoM. You could even add the unfinished CW episode 'Crystal Crisis on Utapau' right before TBB episodes. Also, if you're unfamiliar with Quinlan and Obi-Wan's relationship, they met as padawans, etc... and when Quinlan starts drifting dark, it's Obi-Wan that pulls him back to the light. (I don't remember the details of that comic)

In this post, there will be spoilers of Ventress' arc in Tales of the Underworld and the Dark Disciple novel. You will also be subjected to listening to me tell you why you should read Dark Disciple.

─── ❖ ── ✦ ── ❖ ───

||The bleakest part about being a Jedi, is when we fail||

Obi-Wan Kenobi is the one in which this quote belongs, in the novel, we see Obi-Wan advocating for not just Quinlan, but for Ventress. When you think of Obi-Wan as being so true to the lightside, this book confirms it. It very much lives up to the "You cannot save everyone, Master Kenobi."

There is a deep significance that should scream to you, seeing Obi-Wan with Quinlan, to see his grief as much as his own. In the Clone Wars series, you hear Obi-Wan say he never liked hanging out with Quinlan, but for someone he doesn't like being with, in canon and legends, Obi-Wan never leaves Quinlan's side. To understand that in its entirety, we must reflect upon Quinlan's past, and how Obi-Wan was there. (He sits alone for almost two hours just waiting for Quinlan).

Perhaps because he sees a wild Jedi walking on the thin line of light and dark and cannot help but to root for him, because if he can overcome his darkness, so can Anakin... Right?

There is something so poetic about Quinlan's last words to Ventress being "I will always love you," Sound a little familiar, right? Quinlan lowering Ventress after watching her die for him, him continuing to follow the path of the light, when he's at the darkest point in his life, he returns Ventress to her home and he and Obi-Wan leave together? The way Obi-Wan is the person he never got when he lost everything.

All of this is happening right on the cusp of Episode 3; this is a story where the Jedi Council doubts, where we can understand how Jedi like Qui-Gon and Anakin start to stand apart from the Council ideals. Like them, Quinlan is often at odds with them, and we see his journey of light a battle he fights alone because of this.

In her death, Obi-Wan defends Ventress to The Council for saving Quinlan. In almost a desperate plea that they will see, for all her bad deeds, despite her past, in the end, she was worthy of loving, she was worth mourning. I am not painting The Council as villains in this story either, it is, however, quite a read to see how they approach the events of this novel.

Dark Disciple is as much about Quinlan and Ventress as it is Obi-Wan and Ventress. We see Quinlan and Ventress fall in love, and we see Obi-Wan defending that love and mourning with his friend when that love is gone.

Really, I just love how much Ventress is supported and understood by Obi-Wan too, not just Quinlan. How he offers the same unconditional love to a fellow Jedi and someone who tried to kill him.

Ventress sacrifices herself to save Quinlan; It is the redemption of people not just broken but shattered and how they are granted the chance to try again. This is a story of acceptance of faults and the knowledge that comes with growth. Ventress gets resurrected, and it does stick true to the theme of the book because she gets to try again, even at the end of her arc, she gets the chance to try again.

[satinekryzeweek]

It's super exciting to see a character focus week that isn't ship centric or doesn't feel unwelcoming to smaller, usually queen ships, or alternative headcanons that don't fit Canon or main stream fanon.

(If you know you know)

Satine has grown on me entirely because of friends though I'm still learning all the related lore.

The Mandalorian women like Satine, Ursa, Bo, the Armorer and Sabine are some of favorite characters so I'd love to see more about her. (Are there any Satine or even Bo books? Comics? Anything?!)

I wish everyone luck and hope to see more Satine content in Jan!

Hi Revan,

We're happy to see Satine love growing!

The good and bad news regarding Satine Kryze: there isn't much canon content for her out there. It's sad because we would all love to know more about her character, but at the same time, minimal backstory means there is a lot of room for everyone to develop their own complex fanon lore.

To help everyone prepare for Satine Kryze Week, we've put together a collection of official Star Wars content and fan made resources that feature her! The list is quite long, so we've put it under the cut to spare everyone's dash.

some wips for métis au! lore and story stuff below

feral in his capote he takes hunting talking stags ears off mid hunt probably cause they got distracted by other critters. and sav looking a little overly protective (shocking)

i started some writing for it, it's gonna take place after tpm but before tcw. maul doesnt get deserted on trash planet for a decade, instead some nightbrothers are sent after him and his legs are repaired much sooner, so he can be "put to good use". story is going to be all based on platonic and familial relationships. stag is my trans nightbro oc who is living on dathomir in exile, and it will mostly follow them adapting to living around people again after being accepted by the nightbrother village :)

métis bit is all to do with their culture, roles, their relationship to the nightsisters, their ancestors, food, clothing, spirituality (in some cases lack thereof), language, overall community, and their disconnect.

plot wise it's a lot less exciting than my savander au but the themes are much heavier so i have absolutely no schedule for myself bc it will be tough for me to write through tears!!!
