#Freak Tarr

"The name's Freak. Yes, really! Everyone knows my name at first sight!"

My brand new Battletech OC, Freak Tarr!

What type of person do you think typically has a black lightsaber? (Like the darksaber! I personally headcanon that you can have a black lightsaber, it's only that the knowledge of how to do so has been lost by history)

hmmm i am actually of the mind that the darksaber is not a typical color at all, and that the darksaber is the only one of it's kind. because the idea of "how" to have a black colored saber implies that the color of your saber is a choice, when i tend to think it as representative of the bond and the different cycles of the Force. i think tarre vizsla being a mandalorian and a jedi definitely contributed to the dark saber being what it is, a way different kind of connection to the Force- in my head it's because the idea of the Force is different to Mandalorians and Jedi, and thus manifests in a different way (it also ties into my Mandalorian religion/mythos to have an excalibur type weapon)

[padawansuggest]

So I have a fic I’ve written a bit of which follows the idea of the force touching sentients the same way that it does planets (the theory on how kyber grows) and so these people can sorta… grow kyber at will. But also they sorta glow at all times.

Like it can happen to anyone of any species and it makes them basically immortal (which came to me as an idea when I thought of Fay being one of them and then I was all ‘what if Tarre Viszla was too?????’ And so it’s also a Mandalore fix it because Mandalore is thriving in both politics and having their own ka’ra temples because he’s still alive and in charge) and also I took a massive fusion of sorts from the species The Makers from the book The Magnum Opus (made me cry like a bitch at times it’s one of my fave books) and also from the Star Wars Visions episode The Ninth Jedi (meaning the theory about being able to shape or temper kyber which is the coolest idea in all existence okay I lost my mind I still haven’t found it) and so like it’s got a lot of ideas shoved into it!!!

Basically these people are immortal, can make kyber (but for all of them it’s an extremely different process and it starts with Obi-Wan realizing he can make kyber in a very dangerous way when he gets kidnapped and also Fay is his master cause Qui-Gon isn’t the same species as them so bad idea and he freaks out before Tarre explains to him their people are kybersmiths and he has the ability to turn this very dangerous kyber weapon he made into something else in a way that no one else can) and they are all KyberSmiths and it manifests physically differently in each of them-

Either way. Because of that physical difference they all have. Like it’s explained in the fic but it sounds sorta crackish in a post but for example Tarre’s armor???? It’s not made of Beskar, it’s made of a dense Force energy that’s basically impenetrable. Stuff like that.

But. Since it shows up differently in all of them. And it can change and flux over time. My brain was like. ‘What if they have magic glowing cutie marks?????’ And now they have cutie marks. I’m obsessed.

For the fic writer asks, how about ❤️, 💕, 💭, 💛, and 🦋?

❤️ What is your favorite line that you’ve written in a fic?

“Solus,” he directed her eyes to look into his, “you are as much a Mando’ade as anyone else. Having lightsabers or using the Force doesn’t make you a Jedi. The same as wearing beskar’gam and some half-heartedly attempts to follow orders doesn’t make you Mando’ade. Every battle you’ve fought in this war has been fought as one of us.”

-

💕 What is your favorite fic that you’ve written?

Okay, I have next to now published fics meaning there's none I can actually link for this. It's probably a fic that got dubbed "Secret Sharing" in the google doc to give it a name.

The fic is set in an AU where Solus got pregnant before she left the Order; it's the same twins, Jila and Tarre, just arriving two-ish years sooner with no planning. But, it's her on Krownest and actually having to talk to Pre as her Manda'lor and leader but also the father of her children. Solus, someone toting impressive amounts of PTSD (many sources), anxiety, and sheer exhaustion, wanted to keep it quiet as long as possible. Her plan was to be ahead of the narrative but that collapsed. Then to the shock only her everything is more than okay.

It's just a feelsy piece for me where Solus gets to made to feel at home again. Internally she expected there to still be strings attached when she showed up. Like, she could join Death Watch but she would still be an Other due to her past. Then what happens isn't the past repeating itself. She has a completely positive interaction with her superior, Pre, unlike most of her interactions with the High Jedi Council. There's also this assurance that he doesn't doubt her strength or capability in doing this on her own. But, she doesn't have to be alone.

-

💭 What inspires you and your writing?

There's no measurable rhyme or reason for my inspiration. Sometimes it's a song or a writing prompt or a trope I want to explore. Other times, I have an idea pop into my brain that demands attention right that moment.

Something I do try to include for though is Arc Questions. It gives me a goal to write and develop my characters toward. For example, with my major fic I'm working on with Solus it's a question about Identity. There's the comparison made in the series of "Your lightsaber is your life." (It's probably one of my favorite lines in Star Wars because of the endless possibilities.) She wields two as two individual weapons but never combined as a staff. When one is broken on Concordia the question for her, someone with two separate, conflicting identities, is now, "Which part of you died: the Jedi or the Mandalorian?" Then the story and her growth works in part to answer that.

-

💛 What is the most impactful lesson you’ve learned about writing?

Honestly, that improvements aren't linear or predictable nor does everything have to follow the exact plan. I'm a little bit of a control freak about my own life in terms of I have a schedule and plans and immensely dislike deviation with out advanced notice. But, my best writing is done when I let go of the control. Things evolve and bloom in unexpected ways that frankly turn out better in the end.

-

🦋 Which character is your favorite to write?

This is so difficult because there's so many characters I adore writing. From canon characters, it's probably tie between Pre Vizsla and Jill Valentine. Carlos Oliveira and Bo-Katan Kryze are close seconds because I am a simple person. I see a character that becomes my all time favorite (preferably with Fun Trauma) then I write them, possibly getting more trauma or having soft times. Then from my OCs, it's Solus Ve'tra followed by Jila Ve'tra and Nico Bright.

knocks on your door like a salesman. excuse me (holds out hand like a poor victorian child) ocs??? i need ocs to cure my poor baby boy.,,,,,,,,,, my child is very ill..,,,,

ah an orphan family (explodes you)

OKAY uh. lets see ive got Two New Freaks, Florin Root (last name subject to change but im okay with it for now) and Mal Larceny. Florin is.. some kind of fae royalty runaway whos just trying to live their life peacefully, in their shitty abandoned borderline haunted house (it may actually be haunted but with like, pixies so they dont really notice) and Mal is a Freak whos convinced Florin is not human and both obsessed with "exposing" them and With them. worlds most fucked up yandere/victim dynamic

GHEHEHEH THEN THERES TARR AND LANE. lane im specifically Really happy with the new lore theyve got. theyre both irkens and lane is just. my son named wrinkle with every disease.

theyre an offspring of theee (looks something up) control brains, no i dont know how that works either But im thinking that like. the control brains are computers so surely they have coolant of sorts right? anyways Something Fucking Happened and a smeet got popped out. anyways. lane is very…. fucked up compared to your average irken, something happened in the process of their brith that left them with burn scars, a very weak skeletal structure, and hyper sensitive yet somehow dull senses.

they have like… yknow the antenna addon thingy. AND YEAH THIS COULD WORK BECAUSE IN THE COMICS A SMEET GETS BORN FROM THE FLUID OF ZIMS VOOT CRUISER SO DONT FUCKING LOOK AT ME OKAY? OKAY. also i cant figure out what the fuck the antenna add ons are called and im nearly convinced now that theyre a fanon thing. my autism has failed me, anyways the addons help in both being able to Use their antennas for their purpose (smelling stuff and… whatever else…), help with vision and other brain functions, and also help from letting these senses get too overwhelemed.

also reavers (hello reaver) irken guy, reeb, is their caretaker. also the tallest are Fucking Terrified of lane because i think its funny. and it kind of makes sense. worlds creepiest little smeet. ALSO they get around primarily with their PAK legs, or sometimes let reeb carry them around HOWEVER when disguised as a human they use a wheelchair :3 (i..i almost typed disguised as a wheelchair…)

AND THEN THERES TARR! a little irken explorer whos. good at their job? i mean yeah buddy they sure Do explore but do they report anything meaningful back? not really! this beast has adhd and a childlike sense of wonder. they also have a habit of breaking and entering. their …tolerance..i guess to earth is surprisingly higher than most irkens. i mean water still burns them and stuff but its not as bad. they also like the ocean i think and have modified their ship to be water proof and, yknow, ocean proof. our ocean is Fucked Up (said with love)

Could you do some colli and hunter bounding with hettie and tarre if that’s not to much

Hi, my dear @cookierun-fan! 👋😊

Of course it's not too much! Thank you for the request! You can send as many as you wish! 😃

Drabble: Two Coven Heads And The Inseparable Pair Of Brothers

It was a quiet afternoon on the Boiling Isles. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to stay quiet. A certain small starboy with otherworldly fluffy lavender hair and a heart of gold was badly injured by a bully.

Hunter was angry! Very, very, VERY angry! The young Grimwalker beat the bully to a pulp. Especially, after Colli's head began to bleed. "What kind of freak has dark blue blood?" The bully had the dumb idea to speak up.

"What did you just say about my beautiful little Sunshine, you maggot?!" The former Golden Guard punched the bully so hard that the idiot ended up with a broken nose. The jerk ran for his life afterwards. As for Hunter, he didn't hesitate to bring the immortal and eternal child to Hettie.

She was Colli's doctor, after all. Terra, who had some tea with Hettie, was shocked as she noticed her little Moonflower's bad shape. "What happened to him?" The Plant Coven Head asked, her voice was filled with concern for Colli.

"A bully happened! He dared to make fun of my beloved little brother's cute and beautiful appearance and then he dared to lie a finger on him!" Hunter said as he caressed lovingly the blue side of Colli's adorable multi-colored face.

Hettie immediately used her strongest healing spell on Colli. To Hunter, Hettie and Terra's relief, the kindhearted celestial boy woke up. Hunter wrapped his arms around Colli and cuddled him close to his chest. Hettie and Terra were just as relieved.

Hettie and Terra were quietly cooing as Hunter showered Colli with lots of soft and loving brotherly kisses. "I love you! I love you! I love you!" Hunter whispered as some kind of mantra as he pressed with infinite tenderness his forehead against Colli's.

A little later, the two Coven Heads had some bonding time with the inseparable pair of brothers. Colli was cuddled close to Hunter. Hunter, Hettie and Terra made a silent agreement. To protect Colli even more!

The End

[thunderrbolts]

I know this would never happen, and this is not how it works BUT. Imagine Din wielding the dark saber, practicing with it or something AND then suddenly the forceghost of the mandalorian jedi who made it appears.

Like a Broken Mirror

(A ficlet inspired by @sanders-sides-reverse-au​‘s version of Roman, a little what-if featuring the un-featured Remus. Go read their blog, it’s one of my favorites from the SS fandom- just um, expect a few tears and a large helping of angst.

The Remus featured in this fic is entirely of my own devising.)

"Hey, Remus.” Roman said to the thing that used to be his brother.

The-Thing-That-Used-To-Be-Remus, or just Remus, for short, made what sounded like a gurgling hissing sound at him. Where it was coming from, Roman had no fucking clue- this time, it didn’t have any mouths. Just a bunch of massive, sharp eyes, all focused directly on him. Swirling inky black tendrils, reaching outwards, beckoning the other in, beckoning him to fall with it. Into the room. The metaphorical-jaws of the beast. Roman gulped, one hand clutching the doorway, the other gripping his scarf. He debated running as far away from this room, as fast as he could. 

Instead, Roman took a step forward.

“Thomas m-made a fra- a friend today.” Roman continued, speaking towards what looked to be the... biggest part of his brother. It’s shapeless, formless, tar like body wasn't exactly the easiest thing to look at- what light managed to reach it from the open doorway cast a spiderweb of shiny, green tinted rainbow swirls across it’s form. Roman realized the tendrils were encircling him now, nycto- and agora- phobias slamming into him like a semi-truck. He gulped, suddenly sure his own eyes were dilated to the point of resembling the point of a pin. “I- uh, um, he- I, uh-”

Roman had taken a step and a half back before he even realized he was moving, stopping to ground himself. It didn’t help that he was here, in their room, the very center of all of Thomas’s fears and anxieties, where everything was so sharp and so blurry at the same time. Breath, he told himself. You chose this.

He peaked an eye open. The eyes had all closed. He couldn’t tell where the dark ended and it began. 

Well now, that was just worse.

“He, um...” Roman stuttered, suddenly feeling very much like he was talking to himself. (Well he was, but still). “A kid from ha- from his class. Ja- Joan, I think... he um. He seems to g- seems to get along with Tha- Thomas pretty well. I think... I mean- uh, yeah.”

Roman never got any response. He didn’t expect to. Instead, he spun around on a heel, one leg already stepping back towards the door, his arms stiff by his side. His mind had jumped forwards a few steps, already keen on escaping this encounter, on getting somewhere safe private where he could relax. He was so focused on his escape plan, it took him a few seconds to register the figure standing in the doorway.

Distantly, Roman registered the laughter. The familiar, crackling, broken laughter. The figure stepped closer. The light from behind it cast it into shadow, hiding details in plain sight, but somehow, he could make out the glint of eyes watching him, the patterning of buttons, a belt, a smile, something dripping from its- his eyes. He was moving like a puppet with some of it’s strings cut, snapped, one arm hanging limp at his side, the other held up in the air at an unnatural angle. One leg dragged on the ground, while the other drifted. Slowly, his head tilted to the side, at an angle far too extreme to be anything but broken.

Roman took a step back. Remus mirrored him.

Distantly, Roman knew he was breathing too hard. That his vision was narrowing, that flight-or-flight was kicking in. In the moment, all he truly understood was that the room was closing in, and that Remus was standing between him and the door. But then a sound escaped the other- a sound, a name, his name, and Roman’s brain went fuck it.

He ran, straight for the door. His shoulder hit Remus’s on the way out, but he didn’t stop to look back. Had no idea if he’d reacted, or fallen, or dissolved into mist, didn’t know what happened once the door to his- their room slammed shut behind him. All he knew was that he was running- flight- fleeing from...

Away from the room. Into the castle. What was left of it anyways. Just- anywhere. Anywhere that wasn't back there.

Some part of Remus had survived. Or was back. In that room. In that place. Aware, in that monster.

Somehow, that was worse.

why is it that every bigshot artist in the industry is a fucking freak like all of them are just dying to engage in shitty media and content. the fuck is wrong with yall. where are the morals. the braincells. 

[rambling-robot]

I’m listening to sea shanties for thots while at the beach and let me tell you what my acquaintances, this really is the boost I need in life.

[thiefofstars16]

okay so like I love The Mandalorian, right? And I love all of the tie-ins to the Clone Wars and to Mandalore and to all the little bits and bobs of little known SW stuff.

I just still hate Bo-Katan so much????? Like???? At the same time I love that they brought her character in and tied her with Ahsoka (loml) and brought in some of the non-tribe Mandos. But. B u t. She is essentially a freaking space-nazi who:

1. Voluntarily joined Death Watch (Kyr'stad). (Who kidnap and brainwash children??? Like gross)

2. Sent assassins after her own sister. (Then has the nerve to snidely comment to Obi-Wan 'didn't you love Satine?' like fuck off Karen)

3. Racist af - talking down about Boba being a clone etc (like if it weren't for Death Watch killing Jaster and tricking the Haat Mando'ade and Jedi, there would be no clones and no galaxy-wide war)

4. Not related to Bo-Katan specifically but her character is involved - the Darksaber itself was only ever made a symbol of the Mand'alor via Tarre Vizsla because he was a Jedi and the Mand'alor who created the damn thing. The saber didn't fucking exist until then and there were Mand'alor'e for millennia before him, therefore the Mand'alor didn't need a fancy laser sword to show that they were the leader. You then have both Tor and Pre Vizsla (now Bo-Katan) acting like it's the Ultimate Sign™ of their family's right to rule (and whomsoever defeats them to win the 'sabre) and it's just ugh.

She just pisses me the fuck off with her self-righteous bullshit of 'wanting to reunite Mandalore' when if it wasn't for the fucking space nazi faction of Mandalorians - i.e. Kyr'stad - then Mandalore would only have had to deal with the stupid 'New' Mandalorians (and don't even get me started on that bullshit because I can and will rant for days about their absolute fuckery. I very much do not like the Kryze sisters).

okay end rant now. I have a lot of Feelings™ about this and I just needed a moment to screech into the void.

thank you and have a nice day

Which mechs are Freak's favorites to pilot?

Freak likes heavier mechs that can fight from a distance. In the illustration, I drew her climbing into an Archer!

[moobrvoobl-moobmoob-oobmpoobroom]

Alright I have Many Thoughts on this episode but first I need to make some things clear so

yes I was continually freaking out all through the ep

yes I love all the characters so much and I almost cried

yes I think Grogu should choose both and be a Mandalorian Jedi like Tarre Visla

CAD KRIFFING BANE GUYS

AHSOKA MET LUKE 😭

But also. Sidelining Boba in his own show is just. It annoys me to no end.

Because y’all know I love Ahsoka and Luke and Din and Grogu (and I like Cobb Vanth and the Weequay bartender too) but look. This is the book of Boba Fett. Not the book of Din Djarin. Not the book of Luke Skywalker or Ahsoka Tano or Grogu Djarin. Boba is supposed to be the main character, and he barely got 10 seconds of screen time, and not even a single line in the last 2 episodes. I know we’re all hyped about Cad Bane and everything but can we please remember whose series this is.

[smhalltheurlsaretaken]

I'm a bit confused about Tarre Visla: Wookiepedia says united Mandalore under the Darksaber and ruled for many years. It even cites Rebels episode "Trials of the Darksaber" as the source. But he was defo raised by the Order and became a Jedi Knight. Did he leave the Order to rule Mandalore, but then came back at some point? Did he die as ruler but bequeathed the DS to the Jedi, which explains why it was left in the Temple? But Fenn Rau didn't specify Tarre as Mand'alor, just House Vizla.

Good question. I’m pretty sure the “ruled for many years” actually comes from this SW: Forces of Destiny episode, since yes, there’s nothing in Rebels that actually states he ruled Mandalore at any point. 

Here’s the Rebels quote:

"I didn't know Mandalorians developed a type of lightsaber."

"We didn't. This was one of a kind. Legend tells that it was created over a thousand years ago by Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian ever inducted into the Jedi Order. After his passing, the Jedi kept the saber in their temple. That was until members of House Vizsla snuck in and liberated it. They used the saber to unify the people and strike down those who would oppose them. One time, they ruled all of Mandalore wielding this blade."

―Kanan Jarrus and Fenn Rau, on the Darksaber[src]

And here’s the Forces of Destiny quote:

"Well, you were just a baby so you couldn't come, but father brought me here to see the statue of Tarre Vizsla, the ancient Mandalorian ruler."

―Sabine Wren, to Tristan Wren[src]

As the validity of FoD canon is meh, at best, I’m much more inclined to believe Tarre was in fact a regular Jedi Knight, whose saber was kept in the Temple because it’s just the done thing. 

I believe the Mandalorians stole it, pure and simple, and warped it into a symbol of conquest and power when it was meant to be a symbol of unity and peacekeeping. Here’s why I’d personally dismiss FoD:

"This lightsaber was stolen from your Jedi Temple by my ancestors during the fall of the Old Republic. Since then many Jedi have died upon its blade. Prepare yourself to join them!"

―Pre Vizsla, to Obi-Wan Kenobi — Listen (file info)[src]

The first time we see the Dark Saber, in an episode that predates Rebels and FoD by years and is actually from the Lucas approved show, we have Pre Vizsla, aka a member of House Vizsla, boasting that they stole the Darksaber. He’s always so quick to invoke Mandalore’s greatness and the legitimacy of the warrior ways... I feel like maybe a member of freaking House Vizsla would have been more self-righteous about “taking back what’s theirs” - and the fact that he didn’t even attempt to reads to me as him being perfectly aware that their having the saber had nothing to do with rightful ownership. 

Throughout TCW, there’s also no mention of the saber giving you the right to rule - Pre doesn’t even try to use it to justify his claim to Mandalore but resorts to terrorism instead, and Maul claims the sword because he won the right to rule through combat, he doesn’t claim the right to rule because he won the sword. (Important nuance. Much like claiming a king’s crown because you overthrew him isn’t what makes you king. What gives you the right to claim the crown is that you’ve made yourself king.)

So honestly the saber seems to have been retconned into being more important than it used to be (first by Rebels, and then doubly by the Mandalorian saying it can only be inherited through combat, which is bs because then it’d technically still belong to Sidious for being the last one to best Maul when Maul had it), and in the same way I feel FoD retconned Tarre into something he wasn’t particularly said to be. So I feel like he probably lead a relatively normal Jedi life, maybe wore Mandalorian armor the way Mirialan wear tattoos or Togruta wear headdresses, and just died a Jedi and had his brothers and sisters keep his saber because that’s a piece of their friend and an important element of their culture.

Now one of the rarest slimes to find is a Gold Slime. If you just shoot anything at them, they'll make a gold plort. It's worth hundreds of newbucks (the Money at the game)

Lucky Slimes. They don't make plorts, but feed the a hen hen and you are given a boost in your money stock!

And I love the secret style!

Now these aren't rare, but I wantes to show the art for these feral slimes.

This one shown is specifically a Pink Tabby Largo that hasn't eaten

Now, Slime Rancher has a monster that isn't a slime and can hurt you very badly

The Tarr. It is very pretty though. The tarr getting spawned is very interesting. If you feed a largo a plort that isn't it's own, it becomes a tarr.

Like getting a Pink Tabby Largo a honey plort fed to them

They don't have a secret style, but they have a unique look in the Slimeuation!

Now some random things.

Here is a slime that was a concept, but not put in the game. I just like these ideas for a meteor slime

Now, the Gordos!

These guys have a fixed point in every game of Slime Rancher. It's a cluster of ten of the same slime as a big boi. If you feed them a lot, they'll burst and the slimes seprate.

This one isn't a gordo with a fixed point, but part of a event! Every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday is Party Weekend, a party gordo with appear on the map! When the slimes split, other gifts show as well, like foods and ornaments.

Dance music even is heard around them!

Now this is another event slime, for the Wiggly Wonderland. It happens in the latter half of December.

This is the Twinkle Slime. When you find it, it'll make a little song. Then it'll split as well. Not into little slimes, but into chimes making a song!

And they are so freaking pretty

Now, these are all of the slimes in the game. Others are planned on coming in the sequel, but not too many have been seen!

I'm still excited!

Awwww look at the golds eyes!!!

Look at the Lucky's little ears!!!!!!

The angry pink tabby largo is so pretty!!!!

Oh my stars!!!! Look at the Tarr/pos!!!!

Oooh meteor slime!!!

I love the event slime with glasses!!!!

Awwww look at the twinkle slime!!! It looks so cute :0

Dimension hoppers AU: Slime rancher edition part 1

The Far Far Range was the first dimension the crew travelled to. It was essentially a test mission. They were just trying to work everything out and didn’t have much experience aside from what they normally do back on earth. 

Pink Slimes: The whole crew thinks they're cute. They're the first slimes to be programmed into the suits, so all slime power suits are just variations of the pink slime suit. All slime powers can be activated using the pink slime disk, because it's the base. Pink slimes slowly infested the tortuga the entire time the crew was there. Martin named the first pink slime they saw "Bounce".

Rock Slimes: The first one the bros saw smacked Martin right in the face. Chris freaked out because it came out of nowhere, and seemingly just attacked his brother. But then he realized they were standing in front of some wild carrots and calmed down. Martin named the rock slime "Rolly".

Tabby Slimes: These slimes are Koki's favorites. She named the first one the bros found "Pretty Kitty". The bros found the tabbies near a bunch of hen-hens and Chris wanted to figure out why seemingly wild chickens looked like they had been bred for meat, but the slimes kept eating them before he could get any back to the Tortuga.

Phosphor Slimes: The bros found these slimes unintentionally while setting up camp for the night. They were absolutely mesmerized by the way they lit up the night. Martin named a Phosphor that floated onto his head, "Starglow". There were Phosphors all around the Tortuga too, and the crew probably would've spent all night staring at them,

If it weren't for "The Tarr Incident."
