Top 10 of 2024
All right! It's time to count down my favorite Asian media things I watched in 2024 -- and sure, most of them came out way earlier than 2024, but whatever, I'm slow. Longer rec posts linked where applicable. If you wind up watching one of these on my say-so, let me know! I'm always happy to know I've been an Influencer (ha ha).
Honorable Mention: Heaven and Hell: Soul Exchange
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/f17581606b1052efc25cd464a0eb6c39/273c9051519f2c9a-2b/s540x810/5a74c8f145a01d15a3e55f6192b90432b6617e19.webp)
This was originally going to be on the actual list, but a last-minute contender hopped in and bumped it off. Still, I loved this weird genderfucky body-swap murder mystery romp enough that I couldn't leave it out entirely. This baby sits right at the Hump of Compelling Mediocrity, where when it's good, it's good, and when it's bad, you can't stop thinking about how you'd fix it. I want an American remake of this so Bryan Fuller can rub his butt all over it. [full rec post here]
10. Hotel Del Luna
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/362a3d66cc38794dbc554167af8666c6/273c9051519f2c9a-be/s540x810/a18673a4e06c8da0be8199bac931dcda237ae7a9.jpg)
Did we watch this for Yeo Jingoo? You know it. And yet, we wound up falling for all the characters in this show about a bunch of dead (and one living!) people sending other dead people off to their afterlives. Meandering at times, it falls into a lot of K-drama tropes, but it still manages to pull of something special and occasionally profound.
9. 3 Will Be Free
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/8991d5d48b059421e53e2622adaa1760/273c9051519f2c9a-c9/s540x810/23210f929fc9c26c545a9448f97d69cdff7a4cdd.jpg)
Ah, here's the last-minute spoiler from Thailand! We showed up expecting something dumb, fun, and horny. What we got was something way smarter than it has any right to be -- but still fun and horny! A bisexual trio of incredibly sexy people (and some fascinating side characters) fall in love while semi-haplessly on the run from a whole bunch of people with guns.
8. Ayaka is in Love with Hiroko!
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/4ca7166e9dd34ecd450592aad4a9906b/273c9051519f2c9a-ca/s540x810/6552912ac542172b488a8cb19840ec516827729a.jpg)
This goofy tale of dumb lesbians was wacky and fun from start to finish. How long can you keep up a gag about two co-workers each convinced that the other one isn't into her? Exactly the length of this tiny, funny comedy. And as a bonus, there's the manga, which is equally short and sweet. [full rec post here]
7. Story of Yanxi Palace
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/7dcc37fc6eb579fd2047a5e5a4b23a65/273c9051519f2c9a-c2/s540x810/9b4936a39cf1962e9bf352299c57b7c45216a923.jpg)
At 70 episodes, this (rather speculative) historical drama is not for those with short attention spans. Even so, it's a treat for anyone who likes period pieces, lavish costuming, and high-quality acting. Watch as a completely insane young woman leverages her insanity to become the most powerful pretty pretty princess in the Qing Dynasty! [full rec post here]
6. The Rebel
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/953fc1f35090688a6f1217a99a4e5286/273c9051519f2c9a-a2/s540x810/7028addc7ca640765b0a6d410c3877571f4807ff.jpg)
And speaking of well-acted period pieces! At the risk of quoting myself: Do you feel like watching a beautiful man have a terrible day for 43 episodes straight? Then this Republican-Era spy drama is for you. Zhu Yilong bounces off some gorgeous costars in a gripping tale of brave Communist misery. [full rec post here]
5. Legend of Fei
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0d4a4e7a5a348abf97ffdd5c49298d4a/273c9051519f2c9a-6a/s540x810/0aede1d03f32153d4464f19287aae554928157ca.jpg)
A great example of how a boilerplate YA story about a bunch of teens who save the world from eeeeevil adults can be elevated by leaning in to its inherent sweet, melodramatic goofiness. I wouldn't call it a comedy, but it's a very funny drama held up by delightful characters and charming romances. I have no idea what the plot was, nor do I care. I was too busy watching Yibo smile. [full rec post here]
4 Otoko Meshi
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/5a649582b5791b39afdae0903cd84788/273c9051519f2c9a-b5/s540x810/ebbeea3826ee411c8e67e43067a3827bd2a23fea.jpg)
This show is silly. It has a completely preposterous setup: an injured yakuza boss moves in with an unemployed twentysomething, cooks him dinner, and teaches him life lessons. It has all the subtlety of a piano dropped from a great height. All the acting is completely over the top. And yet, it manages to be sincerely heartwarming? This ten-episode food-based comedy is entirely worth the effort you may have to go through to find a way to watch it. [full rec post here]
3. The Spirealm
Yeah, this one grabbed my ass good enough that I've made a whole meta-and-shitpost sideblog (@thirteenthdoor) for it. I will say, though, that the show wouldn't have done it alone -- my love for it is compounded by how I fell even harder for the book it was adapted from. Both of them together tell a gay-ass horror story about love and loss through several terrifying, deadly worlds. [full rec post for the show here; full rec post for the book here]
2. The On1y One
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/0605fb4763adabdec002b99c5950d86a/273c9051519f2c9a-5c/s540x810/105e40da762f87543bbbd25f346ea046c2d892ad.jpg)
Just ... damn, man. What a piece of art. I was not expecting much out of a Taiwanese BL about two high-school boys falling in love, much less a beautiful, well-written, amazingly affecting tale of complicated family dynamics and gay feelings. It had better get a second season that concludes the story, is all I'm saying. [full rec post here]
1. Kinou Nani Tabeta?
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/3b57dd390d495c6bf3971e4f0c79634e/273c9051519f2c9a-87/s540x810/e6f4e72a83e48d6ad09d64afa31a25e55a4e58e1.jpg)
I have now watched significant portions of this ... four times? Because I keep showing it to other people, because it keeps being that good. The slow, cozy, food-centric tale of the daily lives of two aging Japanese gay men makes you feel happy -- but when it rips your heart out, it rips it right out. I get that it's a little Too Real for a lot of people, but oh, it was just what I needed. [full rec post here]
What will 2025 bring? Who can say! I hope it's gay, though.

Idk what to tell to the people who still don't get that although is okay to teach kids the rules to live in a society (like respect others or don't kill or whatever), Kotaro Shimura, Enji Todoroki and Toga's parents didn't care as much for society rules as they care for the rules that made them feel okay at home.
Which in the end caused the main villain trio to reject authority and society and turn into violence, since they did try to use words as kids and were royally ignored.
Tenko, Touya and Toga tried very hard to be good kids, but in their parents conception it was not enough 'cause they couldn't repress some of their needs: they wanted their dads and moms to accept them as they were, to accept who they wanted to be, to accept the way they expressed love and accept the way they interacted with their surroundings.
In Tenko's case, Kotaro was unable to accept his kid desire to become a hero. His could be the worst case in bnha, given the violence of his tragedy and how misfortune (maybe even something else) played on it ending so badly. Tomura himself said that house rejected his very identity, even tho Hana tried to support him in secret and Nao stood up for him, little too late. For what we saw of him as a child, his only defect as a son was wanting to be a pro-hero, dream that got him beaten up for, grounded in a rather cruelly manner. Kotaro's trauma turned him into an irrational man, his hatred for heroes was both the build up and the catalysis of the tragedy that ended the lives of the people he loved the most.
Tenko didn't become a villain because he was an evil kid. He became a villain because AFO wanting it so and because Kotaro inculcated in him such extreme hatred.
In Touya's case, it's a bit more complicated. I don't believe Enji's obsession was completely evil in nature, although his actions were truly selfish and it became later abusive, when his desperation blinded him to the point he was unable to understand how bad he has turned out to be. Like in Tenko's case, the mother is at fault only in yhe sense that their lack of intervention allowed the situation to escalate 'til they couldn't prevent it anymore. Touya's case differentiates itself in the fact that he was older than Tenko, his behavior declining over the years into extreme violence, unlike the way Tenko exploded in murder glee when Kotaro hit him one last time.
The lack of proper attention from both Enji and Rei allowed Touya's behavior to become a tragedy. Their negligence, Enji's focus on his work and Shouto (as a project not a son) and Rei's role of a caretaker yet not a mother, combined with the incapacity of Natsuo and Fuyumi to understand what Touya was going through (really, only Shouto could, but at that point Touya hated him too much and Shouto was way too young)... Well, it didn't end well for a kid that didn't want help anymore but attention on his own terms. He was tired of adapting, the same way Tenko rebelled in his insistence of acting the hero way.
The same house rule ( YOU CANNOT BE A HERO ) sent them both to AFO's hands, one way or another. They were kids who couldn't act the way their dads wanted, so fuck them I guess.
That part is compatible to Toga's case. Kinda.
Toga's parents are by far the most twisted of the bunch, which is a lot to say considering that Kotaro hit his kids and Enji even hit his wife. Yet, without having to touch a single hair of their little girl, they inflicted damage so deep she preferred to become a runaway criminal than to stay at home one more day.
At least Kotaro and Enji valued at some level Tenko and Touya's existence. Toga's parents didn't care about her at all. She was as good as a broken doll, an imperfect piece of their furniture, something they wish wasn't related to them at all. Enji was at least worry about his son and he loved him at some degree, the same way Kotaro worry over Tenko was born out of his fear of losing his family. Nothing of it excuses what they do and let it be said that Enji and Kotaro did saw Touya and Tenko as monsters at some point (when Touya tried to kill Shouto and on his Dabi era, when Tenko killed his family and turned to Kotaro). Yet it doesn't compare to the way Toga's parents immediately erased her from their lives, even denying any affiliation. They sent her to that therapy like a car needing to be repaired. She was a sign of status, she was an object that they failed to produce, she was an aberration and a freak, she deserved to be put down.
From the three od them, Toga was the one who struggled the most to fit in socially, not to society standards tho. To her parents.
If all these parents had cared for their kids more than they cared for his own stupid rules maybe things would have been different. But that's the core of their problems, they don't need the whole world to accept them, they need to treat the internalized traumas their parents left them with, the self-hatred and the feeling of inadequacy and the need for acceptance (of themselves) and recognition.
That's why Toga, Izuku and Shouto are the key for their recovery. Acting as mirrors, they are meant to provide the closure the villain trio desperately need. It's not just a sibling or a nemesis bond, but a recognition of the self through the other situation.
If they can accept themselves and correct their ways and get free from their parents absurd rules, if they can move past the child need for their parents validation, maybe they can finally exist in a less painful way.

official introduction post to my au, interstellarverse!! some partial name credit to @fandomhop ,, thanks for the suggestion!
info and character design sketches under cut!
so basically,, the turtles were taken from splinter by the utroms when they were only toddlers
however being the little stinkers they are, 3 of them were accidentally teleported to other parts of the universe while donatello stayed with the utroms
leonardo was found by the slandonians (jhanna’s race), raphael was found by the triceratons, and michelangelo was found by the neutrinos
the utroms kidnapped the turtles since they were one of the first mutations on earth that wasn’t mandated by the utroms themselves, so they wanted to keep tabs on how the mutation worked and how stable it was
so donatello was basically their test subject, tho not in a dangerous way more in a,, he stays at the lab and they do regular check ups while he’s watched by a caretaker most of the time
however the main scientist was krang, and he noticed that donatello was ,,, remarkably smart for his age
so he took him as his own child while he was a young boy, vowing to teach him everything he knows and making him his right hand as he begins to start his evil plans he’s been steadily building up to in secret
meanwhile
leonardo grew up beside jhanna, as a warrior in training. his mentor found promise in him and he was eventually elected by the people to defeat moriah and take her place as slandon’s king
so he has a bit of a complex where he thinks he should be in charge when he eventually becomes a team with his brothers lol
raphael was raised by traximus, who was a soldier until he discovered how corrupt the triceraton leader was and rebelled. he was forced into imprisonment as a gladiator and raphael was ripped away from him. raphael is very smol in this au so he’s very much an outcast. he feels like he constantly has to compete to earn himself a place among them
he is good friends with my oc iya tho (who i felt i needed to add to this au bc i love her)
michelangelo was raised while the neutrinos and utroms were at war. he however grew up on the streets
he found friendship with a group of kids also without parents, the neu-trio :3 so he, zak, dask, and kala are all rebels in the neutrino world. michelangelo finds issue with authority bc in his experience, all the authority wants to do is fight and hurt
he is a bit of a pacifist until one of his loved ones is in danger
the plot kicks off when donatello sees in person just how much damage krang causes to ppl. and he runs away and bumps into michelangelo, seeing someone who looks like him for the first time,,,

Thoughts about Tsukuyo
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/87097a777dcf1960f65ef2fe7000c7cf/ff1fca55de746e8f-fa/s540x810/28fd3942779156b28db5ca302ef11039b68fc402.jpg)
She was introduced late as part of the main cast, but I think it was a good decision on Sorachi's end. This is because when he created her, he was already a more experienced writer, he’d been writing his characters for a while and knew what his story needed.
I really like the dualities of Tsukuyo’s character. Her exterior is hard and cold, but inside her lies a very sensitive and protective person. She was a rebel, she fought against an oppressive system from the shadows. This caused enormous loneliness, keeping an emotional distance from the rest, especially from Hinowa.
Jiraia's teachings had a deep impact on her. It went against her kind nature, but she was led to believe that caring for others, loving others made her weak. These characteristics, regarded “feminine” by her master, made her weak.
This is why I consider her arc to be so important and one that resonates with me personally. These ideas, although they’ve been changing, still linger in our society today. And the society of Gintama's world remains particularly sexist.
This is also explored with Kyuubei. But while Kyuubei completely rejects femininity and embraces masculinity, Tsukuyo rejects the idea of femininity (what she was taught it meant at least), but she still feels like a woman. They’re different paths facing the same situation.
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/33b4acb6a40d83144911aaaa2b4e52f9/ff1fca55de746e8f-42/s540x810/1d897bec1ab02f982c67f88305169b442400018b.jpg)
It’s over time that Tsukuyo begins to open up to others, learns to lean on others and overcome her traumas, especially in relation to her teacher. Being a caring person and loving is not something feminine or weak, on the contrary, it makes you someone strong. Sorachi completes her arc with these aspects in mind.
Although I consider Tsukuyo to be one of the best developed characters in the series, I was left wanting to see her interact with more characters. Don't get me wrong, her interactions with her family in Yoshiwara, the Yorozuya and the Gintaladies are extremely important, but I wish we’d seen more.
For example, I would’ve loved to see her in a trio with Sacchan and Zenzou (wait not that kind of trio-) as ninjas, more interactions with the Shinsengumi (considering the Hyakka is also a type of police). Speaking of the Hyakka, it would’ve been great to have a recurring character who was the vice-captain of that organization.
There's also the fact that almost all the characters Tsukuyo interacts with regularly are women, with the exception of Seita, Shinpachi, and Gintoki. A boy, a teenager, and a man (whose relationship hasn't caused any controversy amirite), but it would’ve been interesting if she’d more male friends.
That being said, I think Tsukuyo's character development was pretty good. Her character is realistic, multifaceted. More importantly, I believe that she reached her potential, both personally and professionally, with her being not only the leader of her organization, but also the leader of her city.
#Gintama#Tsukuyo#Thoughts about#my post#Happy birthday!#I would like to add that she has one of the coolest designs#And I wish she’d appeared more often#But at the same time that made me appreciate even more whenever she’d screen time lol

How The Bad Batch Season 3 should end
But it gets progressively less likely...
.
The Bad Batch (sans Omega) are all Rogue One’d. Fennec Shand takes Omega on as her apprentice and teaches her how to protect herself.
The Bad Batch (sans Omega) are all Rogue One’d. Asajj Ventress takes Omega on as her apprentice and teaches her how to protect herself.
Omega leaves the Bad Batch to protect them, but ends up running with Hera for a hot second before becoming a medic/pilot in the rebellion.
The Bad Batch (sans Omega) are all Rogue One’d. Omega is adopted by Rex and the rest of the Seelos Trio (Gregor and Wolffe). The reason why she doesn’t appear in Star Wars: Rebels is because she was getting space groceries on that exact day. Rex left a note on the fridge explaining where they went.
On a final confrontation with Hemlock, Omega uses her newfound Force abilities to summon a pod of purgil to crash into Tantiss and subsequently eject her and Hemlock into another Galaxy for the next 10 years.
During the ending credits, instead of playing the theme, they play a funky, slightly older song where the royalties aren’t crazy expensive to use and every character that appeared in the show dances along to this song very much in a homage to the ending of Scooby Doo 2: Monsters Unleashed (2004).

Golden Trio of Tennis ⭐️🎾 - Order of the Phoenix
Note: I think I might have gone crazy with these headcanons . Excuse me😂 If you have any ideas on what I should do next, drop me a DM!
Dark times. Fear is running high. Everyone has different ways to deal and manage with their emotions. Including our trio.
Carlos
Carlos is passionate 3000% in fighting back. He makes it known to everyone that he’s a rebel. That has gotten him into a lot of trouble.
The back of his hand is badly scarred as he exits Umbridge’s office for the sixth time this week. But he’s already planning the next revolt.
It’s brutal on the Qudditch Pitch. The Slytherins are out for Alcaraz’s blood. He almost had a bludger taking out his head.
So he sends a well aimed bludger to their Keeper and that’s how he got disqualified from the match.
Carlos rarely gets mad. He’s usually the happy go lucky one that shines brighter than the sun. But there are always exceptions.
Like now as he chucks his broom aside and glares at Umbridge for that decision.
That’s how he ended up in her office for the seventh time.
His scars are starting to become worse and Carlos cannot simply ignore it.
Jannik. But security is much higher now since Umbridge took over.
Wait a minute…
The golden retriever limps towards the Ravenclaw tower and waits outside until someone from the house sees him.
A second year boy ends up scooping the injured dog into his arms and informs Jannik about it. (Yes, they know that this Golden belongs to Jannik. Or at least comes to look for Jannik every single time)
Jannik
Jannik was deep into his potions assignment when the boy comes. He can’t believe his eyes.
Sweet, mild tempered Jannik could feel his rage bubbling in his stomach. That foul b-
He forces himself to cool down quickly to prepare the potion for the injuries from his diminishing potions kit.
He puts it in a dish and coaxes dog Carlos to drink it. But the dog only whines and crawls into his lap.
“Carlos… you have to drink it.” Jannik is weak at the sight of his friend who usually is so full of energy. But Carlos just wants to sleep.
So Jannik puts him on a pillow, wrapped in his Ravenclaw scarf.
He’s not as vocal as Carlos about disagreeing with Umbridge’s methods. But he does it in his own way by studying so much harder since Defense classes are literally a joke.
Somehow with Umbridge’s presence, students whose parents have been associated with Death Eaters get 1000% cockier. Jannik doesn’t give a shit though.
Some 7th year Slytherin tried to hex Jannik while he wasn’t paying attention but Jannik was too quick for him, hexing him right back with a jelly leg jinx.
WITHOUT being caught by Umbridge.
Because he also hexed the Slytherin’s big mouth.
Never, ever cross Jannik. He’s quiet but he’s a deadly fighter. When you hurt his friends, he’ll give it back to you tenfold.
And this time, someone has his back.
Holger
Although he’s from Slytherin, he’s almost if not even more reckless than Carlos and Jannik combined.
He openly talks back to Umbridge about her teaching methods and she can’t do anything about it.
Now this is where it gets funny.
Every evening, Holger would turn into his Animagus form, and find a way to sneak into Umbridge’s office when she’s away and take a piss on her desk, seat and on every surface that’s possible.
Ooooh the way Umbridge was seething during morning breakfast, Holger couldn’t help but to snicker.
During one DADA lesson, Holger’s retort had rendered her speechless.
“Cat got your tongue, Professor?”
Umbridge knows that Holger has something to do with this. She doesn’t understand why the child from an esteemed pure blood family would join those filthy half breeds and m*dbloods
Carlos is sitting beside Holger, having recovered from his injuries. He gives a happy Holger a fist pump under the table.
Yeah… Holger’s probably planning what to do next to terrorize that good for nothing woman. If it means that Carlos is back to his old self again.

After looking at your ‘cousins of teaching’ art, which is phenomenal might I add, I got an AU idea. What if the Sannin swapped roles with their respective students? They’re still known as the Sannin and taught them, but their respective places have been switched.
What if Anko rebelled against the Leaf, and took Orochimaru’s goals further than even he thought, to the point where Orochimaru went back to the Leaf to atone? What if Jiraiya was the founder of the Akatsuki that wanted to uproot the ninja world’s corruption and Nagato, Konan, and Yahiko were the wandering Shinobi who ended up teaching Naruto, and ended up having to try and stop their rogue teacher? What if Shizune was the one who ended up becoming Hokage and Tsunade had to help guide her through the incredible pressure on her shoulders?
Sorry if this is a ridiculously weird/nonsensical ramble, but your own AUs and art got the gears turning in my head.
Absolutely not! This is awesome! Hokage Shizune?? Evil Anko scaring Orochimaru?? Ame trio training Naruto??? Yes please!!!

Update. Too tired to be emotional, so this might sound dry.
Not dead. Despite the universe's attempts to kill me, I am decidedly not dead. My family's also doing alright. All of us are alright on food, shelter and no one's injured. I'm... we're sacred, but we're okay.
I was actually kind of amused by Volo's little excersion onto my blog. Seems people don't trust him, but neither does Mutt, so I'm not gonna say you guys are in the wrong. Only that I DO trust him.
Kamado is not content with letting sleeping dogs lie, and despite Cyllene, Akari and Laventon being opposed, their hands are tied. He has been sending Security corp after Mutt and I. And I'm... rapidly losing my patience about that. We've had to fend off three of them. A fourth would've, but... it was Pacif. The one I helped teach. He's... he delivered a message from Akari. And said that he refused to obey, leading to him being cut from the fucking corps by Kamado, going OVER Zisu's head. And she couldn't do anything.
It's made it clear that even if I wanted to rip that man in half, he's a rather integral part of how Jubilife functions. I can't do too much to him. I don't want blood on my hands, but I was more tempted than I care to admit thanks to Maddie's shared fury over the situation. The people listen to him on the whole, and even with people cutting out to defy him, he's the one in charge. He dies, the village rebels.
I have thus spoken to Mutt. We will not be returning. Ever. I do not fucking care what that man says, I do not care if he grovels on the ground, crying out for forgiveness. I will not go back. I will rip my fucking tail off if I'm made to go back. Not again. I will fucking hire people to build me a house in the Fieldlands. There's no feasible way I will ever fucking go back to that village for anything other than helping Cyllene, Laventon, Pacif or Akari.
As for... what I've been trying to do. I explained to Irida and Adaman that the change to being a Pokemon was "within the week" levels of recent, and while confused, didn't seem opposed. I was still me. Mutt was still Mutt. They would help. They've been tag-teaming assisting, with Adaman leading us to Lake Valor and Irida to Lake Acuity.
We met... I think they're Legendaries. Azelf led me on a fucking fool's errand trying to deter me, and I nearly wanted to bite its head off before it conceded. It wanted me to show my willpower. And Uxie effectively quizzed me. They wanted to make sure I knew exactly what I needed to know, which meant a hefty amount of questions about the Pokemon I claimed to know of. And I got something from them both.
Adaman is heading back to the village to keep a closer eye on Kamado. Something about his movements has us all worried. Volo's been making sure we get information by effectively trailing to the Gingko guild both for supplies and for news, and it seems Kamado's prepping. For what, I don't quite know just yet. I'm not inclined to wait to find out, so I'm on my way to Lake Verity to meet the third of the trio. Cogita's offered to craft the Red Chain, so... it's about time we get shit done.

I am the spy (or am I?)
Synopsis: In an alternate reality in which Armitage Hux was raised by his mother, Starkiller base was never built and the Resistance is in a much better position. But as of late, secret information has gotten leaked to the enemy. Poe, BB-8, Rose and Armitage infiltrate the Finalizer, commanded by Brendol Hux, to close those channels once and for all. Time for the newly promoted Ensign “Eight-Seven” to earn another feather in his cap and stop the rebels! Wordcount: 4.578
Raised in “batch 8”, FN-2187 had proceeded to the FN corps in the awareness that one day he’d serve the First Order as an officer. No one had ever directly or indirectly expressed the need for the young the stormtrooper to form an opinion about that, and so Eight-Seven hadn’t done so. Him eventually assuming that mantle had simply been a fact of life, like the use of the refresher.
Only now that FN-2187 had actually attained officer-cadet rank, everything all of a sudden had grown complicated. For one, unlike the non-commissioned ranks, being a proper officer required him to go by a name. He’d probably get assigned one at officer school, the next step on his road. And then? For example, to what degree did an in-field promoted officer need to emulate the independent living of the hereditary ones, that had trickled over from Palpatine’s Empire?
But that aside, if one cast aside all the unanswered questions, FN-2187 was really looking forward to his new duties. His evaluation had returned “Law Enforcement on a newly integrated world” as the function he was suited for in the commissioned officers tier. His courseload at officer school would therefore include administration & management, local politics, languages, law and of course deduction skills. And afterwards the newly minted Lieutenant would be the one to bring peace, order and prosperity to a new colony – how awesome was that?
Too big, perhaps, to not expect a slight emotional malfunction here or there. Eight-Seven desperately needed something to cling to, a truth smaller than “I serve the First Order”. And so, when the alarm rang, he picked up a blaster and put himself in front of the little squad he was to dispatch to deal with a rebel incursion on the lower levels of the Finalizer, despite already wearing his new padded uniform instead of the iconic white armor with the shoulder pad.
Rebels… it was only ever rebels, standing in the way of civilization. Did those people even have an idea what they would do if they managed to “liberate” a system or two by accident? Or were they less than people, not thinking beyond the moment? Well, it wasn’t as if the First Order wasn’t here for them, too. There were re-education centers aplenty that could teach captured “Resistance” members a better way of life. Eight-Seven preferred to take enemies alive for this reason. Maybe in his new position as police lieutenant he’d get to also see the fruits of his work, and meet again the reformed criminals and civilized anarchists, now working for the glory of the First Order?
Well, for that dream to become a reality, he’d first have to stop the pesky trio and their droid whom he was chasing down a floor… They had almost reached the escape pods and the female had additionally managed to remotely unlock the safety lock on the hatch. Eight-Seven was running in front of his squad, but the battery in his blaster was good for only one, maybe one and a half, more shots. Time to put those critical thinking skills into action, that he was to develop at academy! If he couldn’t prevent all four from escaping, which of the intruders should he take down for the best effect?
FN-2187 took aim, but lower than his squad mates had expected him to. At this angle their leader wouldn’t hit the back, let alone head, of a fleeing rebel. But that wasn’t Eight-Seven’s intention. Confident about his choice of target, the stormtrooper turned ensign sniped the tallest of the rebels into his upper leg. The man stumbled, fell and only now cried out in pain and surprise. The other three, the humans and the droid, immediately stopped and backtracked to shield their comrade from the pursuers.
“Take them!” Eight-Seven ordered his troopers.
One minute later the catch got presented to him:
The black-haired one with the stubble was Commander Poe Dameron, callsign “Black Leader”, something like a celebrity in the Resistance, and a hard to predict variable. That identified the spherical astromech droid as BB-8, a trickster whom Eight-Seven would have to treat as an independent threat instead of a sophisticated piece of equipment. In these two’s company was a female rebel Eight-Seven had no profile on, but he was well aware that be on a mission together with the aforementioned duo this woman had to be more than a faceless nobody. Her capture and subsequent identification would probably help the First Order a lot. And finally the rebel Eight-Seven had injured was a tall man with bright flaming hair. He wore the iconic rebel jacket in powder blue, an odd choice that made him stick out and immediately identifiable as Armitage Snowe. Snowe went by the callsign “Icewing” and despite his readiness to employ violence, he was an engineer, not a fighter.
While Snowe angrily stared at his captors, Dameron spit on the floor, only to get kicked for that by the trooper who was holding him and the female rebel. She used this ever so slight distraction to wiggle around to punch the trooper with her gloved hands. Electricity crackled, but then harmlessly dissipated. Eight-Seven quickly stepped forward and removed the gloves before the trooper holding her could get ideas like breaking the captive’s wrists. He also took over Dameron from the trooper, so that each prisoner was secured individually now.
“Those people have a hive-mind of sorts”, Eight-Seven then explained to his squad so that they would remember that fact later. “They wouldn’t even have considered leaving without their companion. Ignore it when you hear them yell words to the effect of “Go on without me”, in the majority of cases it either isn’t meant seriously or won’t get heeded anyway.”
“Aren’t you a smart one”, Dameron hissed as if mocking his captor, but in truth he was annoyed at the fact that this young officer was right. Eight-Seven could also spot a hint of resignation in the man’s eyes, what made him hesitate ramming him with his back against the wall as a reminder to be polite – for about two seconds.
Interestingly, the casual violence prompted not just an “Ooof” from Dameron, but a whole waterfall of words from Snowe: “If you value your shiny new pips, Ensign, then you leave this man be!”
“Because you are telling me?”
“Yes.”
Now that’s interesting. Not even a rebel can be that insolent, not in this situation. Let’s see…
Eight-Seven marched Dameron in front of himself, towards Snowe, who was balancing on a single leg in his captor’s grab. The man was bleeding, but not that hard that immediate bandaging would have been required. Eight-Seven therefore could invest a little time testing something. Intensifying the hold of his right hand on Dameron, he gently went through the man’s wavy hair with his left.
“That better?”
Dameron winced, Snowe’s shot Eight-Seven a glance of intense loathing, the female – her identification read Tico, Rose – bit her lips, eyes narrowed, and the droid beeped indignantly.
“I get it, you’re all close, but what makes you think you could order me to do or not do anything?” Eight-Seven shook Dameron for effect, then added: “When all you’d have to do would be to kriffin’ behave in the first place, no need for grandstanding!”
“It’s not grandstanding”, Snowe disagreed. His features slowly relaxed, then shaped into a sneer. It was perhaps the creepiest change Eight-Seven had seen in his life. “It’s actually rather simple: No Tico, Dameron or BB-8 – no service. Because, you see, I am the spy.”
“What?” Eight-Seven uttered in a very un-officer like way.
“Oh, shit. The lower ranks may not be in on…” Snowe stuttered and then his voice trailed off. Eight-Seven would have believed the words to be a trick, but then again Tico was closing her eyes and Dameron was slightly sacking in his grasp. Their reactions seemed genuine, what told the Ensign that there might be some clandestine activity going on, indeed.
“I…” Dameron started, only for it to end in a name: “…cewing…”
“Suspected as much?” Snowe replied with the surprise in his voice that had been missing from Dameron’s.
“No! Yes... I don’t know anymore!!!”
Pulling closer towards Snowe, as closely as Eight-Seven allowed him to anyway, Dameron uttered: “Why?”
Eight-Seven shook his head. “Better question: How?”
“I had the information your superiors wanted. It traveled from source to drain.”
“Alright, that was cute. But can you also prove your claim?”
Snowe nodded. “Hyperspace tracking.”
“What?!” Tico exploded. “No! Not that!”
Meanwhile Dameron faintly whimpered. Now there would be no more place to run… But why… why? After all this time, after how hard he had worked to enter the Resistance’s inner circle, after the bond they shared, why would Icewing sell all of them out to the First Order?
“You guys had made baby-steps towards it, but I fully developed the method”, Snowe elaborated. “I shared my results with the First Order. Check the development protocols and you will find a large gap of several years worth of research. It’ll look like a civilization going from just having tamed fire to suddenly driving around in cars.”
“In what?”
“Imagine your antigrav motor croaking, but your speeder continuing on landing gear. Only without the antigrav motor in the first place.”
“I’m sorry, but that sounds freakish.” Eight-Seven shook his head. “You rebels are freaks. Fortunately I don’t need to hear more. – Troopers, take them to detention! I will report to General Hux.”
Eight-Seven turned around to do as he had announced. The last he heard from the prisoners was Tico exclaiming: “Those cars sound awesome!” only for Snowe to reply “I know, right?” The Ensign took a mental note of the prisoners’ group bond still being somewhat intact despite the accusations… or self-accusation. It might become important later, during interrogation.
*
“Finn’s just come back”, Tico commented, looking through the pane that separated the prisoners’ cell from the floor. Why it had been made see-through from both side, despite there being a perfectly in working order intercom, Eight-Seven didn’t understand. What need was there for the prisoners to see him? To intimidate them, maybe? Well, in this moment FN-2187 didn’t look especially fear-inducing, with the look of surprise on his face.
Tico had clearly recognized him, yet at the same time used a made-up name for the Ensign? An insulting nickname he could have understood, that was par for the course on both sides, but a perfectly regular first name?
“Come again?”
“Finn. That’s your name.” Tico seemed pretty insistent on that.
FN-2187 shook his head in disbelief. Here he was, having been under the impression that the higher ranking, elite rebels would be a bit less on the anarchist side. Well, turned out they were even more chaotic than the rest! Viewed in this light Snowe having said nothing in this matter made him really stick out, and his claim to work with the First Order a tiny bit more believable.
“Look”, Dameron eventually explained, “we seem to be a feather in your cap, and will probably interact some more ‘ere all is said and done, so we need to call you something. We noticed that your nametag has a service number only, and I’ll be dammed if I address a person by a number!”
“You’ll be dammed if you don't call me “Ensign, Sir”, rebel scum!” Eight-Seven shot back. Then he pointed at the orange-patterned droid. “Speaking of persons… Introduce this to me, prisoner.”
Poe Dameron turned his head towards his companion. A pang of guilt washed over him. “Oh… Oh, no. Little buddy… Me and my quick mouth…”
BB-8 rolled a little closer towards his master – or friend? Dameron reached out, the droid playfully pulled back, but then let himself get “captured” in the second attempt and pulled into a hug. A long string of beeps followed. The human prisoners listened intently, then each of the trio nodded.
“The difference is”, Tico told “Finn”, “that BB-8 never complained about his number. He could, you know. Whereas you cannot on account of your conditioning.”
“Yes, I, too, wonder, how I was able to go through life without you four looking out for me”, FN-2187 snarked. “The first to nod now will deeply regret this, by the way. Everyone else will just regret it.”
The corners of Dameron’s lips twitched upwards ever so slightly. This Ensign “Finn” was talking to them, in First Order style, naturally, but talking nonetheless. And if you had the opposition talking, you already owned it.
“General Hux will see you in five minutes, when he’s finished dining”, Finn informed the prisoners.
“Yeah, of course he had to mention the rat having a meal, when he knows full well that we had nothing”, Dameron cursed under his breath.
“Speak for yourself, me, I had a very agreeable anti-tetanus-jab”, Snowe remarked.
“If you really are the elusive spy, they need to keep you alive in case you’re still useful for them”, Tico said in a sad voice. “But… why? Please, Armitage, we didn’t ask until now, but this might be our last chance…”
Snowe shook his head. “Far from it”, he insisted. “Don’t worry, you will survive. I’ll see to that when I’m General.”
“Oh, and here I was, being afraid you’d wait until you had made Supreme Leader”, Dameron grumbled. “For real, what’s going on in your head these days?”
Snowe’s nose twitched, his eyes harrowed and when he answered, the words came out like a snake’s hissing: “What’s on everyone’s mind these days! Ben! Always and only ever Ben!”
The other two exchanged baffled glances with each other and with BB-8. Apparently that wasn’t the answer they had expected.
“I did notice that you seek each other out despite not liking the other”, Dameron eventually spoke up. “But I thought it was attraction.”
“Pfft. There has to be one person in the Resistance who isn’t infatuated with the great and mighty heir of Skywalker”, Snowe spat. “After all the trouble he gave us, now he is the hero, who gets way with everything. Ben refrains from killing his father and gets lauded for that. What’s so special about not killing one’s old man? I didn’t do it, either. But I had to claw my way up from the very bottom and when I make a mistake, General Solo hands me a broom to “think about what I’ve done” over chores. How’s that fair?”
“Did I get that right? You betrayed us - and the whole galaxy in the process - because you envy Ben?”
“It’s not fair! The First Order wouldn’t have let such preferential treatment happen!”
“He’s correct”, Finn chimed in.
“You can’t mean that!” Dameron whispered at Snowe. In the same breath he pointed at Finn without taking his eyes of the traitor, shouting: “And you weren’t asked!”
Snowe didn’t break eye contact, staring back until his eyes hurt and started getting wet. Only then did he take one, two deep breaths and said:
“…maybe not. I don’t know myself anymore. I… stopped caring who wins. I just want Ben to lose. Whichever side he is on I will oppose. It’s really this simple.”
“Time’s up”, Finn announced. “Try to be coherent in front of the General.”
Armitage pushed himself upwards using the cell’s wall. He was still standing unsteadily on his wounded leg, therefore in order to not delay the delivery of the prisoners to General Hux, Finn grabbed the man and pulled his arm around his shoulder.
“Thank you, Lieutenant Finn. I’ll make you my personal adjutant later today.”
Finn was just about to exercise a little attitude adjustment on the mouthy engineer, when he realized that Snowe had been dead serious.
“Did you drink that tetanus shot?! Or anything else you shouldn’t have drank?”
Snowe only grinned, saying: “I still haven’t played all my cards.”
*
General Brendol Hux received the prisoners in an almost empty room that was large enough to fit a full sized execution squad. It was conveniently present already. Droids of various sizes and function very rolling between the troopers’ feet. If there were one or more of the floating torture droids the empire had used, it hadn’t launched yet and was still lying on some shelf.
The first thing the General noticed was one of the prisoners getting steadied by an Ensign on account of a leg injury. This constituted a breach of protocol, that Hux noted, to address it later.
Finn instructed the guards to position the cuffed prisoners, including the droid, that was now fitted with a restraining bolt, apart from each other a little more. Then he stepped back from Snowe, causing him to briefly stagger.
“This is the group I spoke of, General. And this here is the man who claims that he relayed confidential information about the Resistance to us.”
“I know.” General Hux slightly lowered his head in confirmation. “One wonders: Why did he decide to stop?” Taking a step towards the ginger-haired prisoner, the General added: “Suffering from a bout of indecision, are we?”
“It was inevitable, unfortunately”, Snowe claimed. “The Resistance decided that the spy’s contact was on this ship and tried to silence both ends of the exchange. I volunteered for this mission with the intent to sabotage it. I successfully led them astray, goaded them into destroying some inconsequential sub-system, but on our way out we got captured.”
“A misstep that would have been excusable from a junior Lieutenant on his first assignment”, Hux said with a sideways glance towards Finn. “Not from someone pretending to be a full grown man.”
“I did what was possible, father.”
“No, you did what you were capable of, you silly, weak boy!”
The exchange between informant and handler and the reveal of their exact relation were met with even more commotion among the prisoners than Snowe’s earlier confiding of his motivation. Finn had to signal the guards to generously employ their shock staffs on the three of them that weren’t the spy.
“Stop!” Snowe shouted. “Stop that! Those people are under my protection! Same goes for the droid! Harm them and no information will flow anymore!”
General Hux slapped the prisoner hard.
“It already has stopped flowing, in case you haven’t noticed!”
Even that wasn’t sufficient to break Snowe’s confidence. He shook his head to clear it, and retorted:
“Well, of course it would, if you parade us around here instead of letting us escape discreetly!”
Hux laughed disparagingly.
“Let you escape? With the very same people you idiot TOLD you were the spy?”
“I… shoot. But they… Whatever. Keep them. Put them someplace safe. I can tell the Resistance they died and...”
“The information you gave us was almost worth the effort of making you”, General Hux cut the prisoner short. “But now you’ve outlived your usefulness to the First Order.” Almost as an afterthought, but Poe could tell that the slight delay was deliberate, Hux added: “And to me.”
“Come AGAIN?” Snowe – or Hux jnr., as the others knew now – flared up. “You can’t mean that! What more could you have expected me to do?”
The protest was met with an ice-cold stare. But “Icewing” wasn’t a stranger to that tactic himself and this time he stood his ground, not giving in like he had done with Poe earlier. To gain the upper hand Hux senior had to twist the knife a little more:
“I didn’t expect much from a kitchen worker’s brat.”
The insult that was meant to destroy the prisoner’s confidence might have worked on a man who hadn’t grown up in said kitchen. But as things stood, the momentarily startled prisoner once again produced that trademark sneer of his.
“Funny thing”, Hux jnr. said, but he didn’t finish the sentence. Instead he twisted to the side a little, causing Finn to grab him tighter. And that was a mistake, because the prisoner now used his captor as a firm counterweight, when he brought his uninjured leg upwards. His boots impacted on Brendol Hux’ ever so recently filled stomach.
“Yes, good idea”, Hux jnr. commented, when Finn dragged him away from the General. Right in front of their eyes Brendol bend forward and started vomiting.
“Never mess with a kitchen scullion”, Armitage said coldly. “Really not.”
“A policy to remember for the labor camp you’re going to!” Finn growled, but then everything turned a little hectic. To the pair’s right, BB-8 had caused Rose’ captor to stumble, allowing her to slip out of from his grip. The little engineer pounced one of the First Order droids and after a short kerfuffle emerged with a tool, that she subsequently used to de-magnetize the restraining bolt on BB-8. The droid in turn short-circuited Rose’s handcuffs – not a moment too early, because now they found themselves facing three stormtroopers. Not daring to shoot into the melee that in one spot also contained their General, they were holding the butts of their blasters like clubs.
Rose’s heart sank, but only briefly, because now Poe shouted “catch”! Moments later she held an electro-staff in her hands.
“I really hate it when you typecast me as the maniac who electroshocks everyone”, the engineer called out at Poe, but she did so with a smile.
*
Later still, the rebels were perched behind the General’s desk, two deactivated droids and three stormtroopers, two of which were shocked into unconsciousness and one dead. Poe was stabbing at everything that tried to close in with the staff, while Rose had switched to a blaster and BB-8 was sending confusing signals to the remaining droids. And between them crouched Armitage Hux, holding a blaster pistol at Brendol’s temple.
“Today we’re practicing not killing our old man, in the fine tradition of Ben Solo”, he said through clenched teeth. “Alright, here’s the deal… it’s not hard to understand.” Raising his voice, he called out to the stormtroopers: “Toss down your weapons or I’m going to blast this man’s brains out! I mean it!”
“Don’t listen to the rat!” Brendol yelled. “He doesn’t have the guts! None of the sorry bunch has!”
“Three seconds”, Armitage said coldly.
The attack didn’t slow down.
“Three…”
BB-8 had to dodge a blaster shot, causing him to temporarily lose focus. As a result a black droid of his own model managed to roll through under the desk.
“Two…”
Poe rammed his staff down on the droid, causing it to short-circuit. Afterwards the pilot looked shocked at his hands and from there at BB-8. “I’m sorry…”
“One…”
Rose stunned one trooper and grazed Finn, causing him to lose his balance. They tumbled over in close proximity to the desk.
“ZERO!” Armitage shouted, and when no reaction whatsoever came, he pulled the trigger. NOW he had the enemy’s attention. As well as his jacket full of blood and brain tissue.
Armitage felt Poe rip the jacket off him. “Take that off! What were you thinking, man? Killing the hostage for real? That’s not accomplishing anything!”
His right arm he was holding the blaster with still in the loosened jacket’s sleeve, Armitage groped around with the other hand until he found something to latch onto. It was the black collar of an officer’s uniform – with a dazed officer-cadet still in it.
“Ah, nice! Fresh hostage!” Not wasting time, Armitage put the blaster on Finn’s temple now.
“This isn’t going to wooooooooork!” Poe cried.
“This isn’t going to work”, Finn confirmed.
“Well, no one seems to have activated the alarm yet”, Rose spoke up in the middle of all this. “I can open the door using this…” A guilty expression on her face she held up the severed head of the First Order droid Poe had killed. The consciousness seemed to have fled, but there was still some residual activity in the droid brain. “If BB-8 throws a chaff grenade from his secret stash, we could make a dash for the door… whatever good that will do us.”
“Lots!” Poe exclaimed. “If we immediately reseal the door behind us, trapping the remaining troopers. Then we can try to sneak to the escape pods with none being the wiser what has happened in here.”
He grabbed Finn’s cap, put it on his own head and proceeded to also take the Ensign’s uniform jacket. With a shrug he said: “On first glance it might fool someone into thinking we are escorting prisoners. And one moment of hesitation is all we need.”
Poe looked from one to the other.
“Agreed?” he asked.
“Yes!” Rose shrieked while laying some more discouraging fire on the enemy.
BB-8 gave beeps to the same effect.
“No!” Finn protested and Armitage only bit his lips.
“Swell!” Poe concluded. “Let’s do it!”
*
“We’re traveling a bit more comfortable than expected”, Rose laughed, when she finally fell onto the floor of the First Order shuttle they had hijacked. At the passenger bench she was leaning onto, Armitage and Finn were sitting back to back, cuffed and gagged. Meanwhile Poe and BB-8 were fiddling with the vehicle’s unfamiliar controls, working their hardest to escape the range of the Finalizer’s sensors quickly. There was no telling if maybe one or more of the enemies they had stunned or been forced to kill had gotten found by now.
“Sorry ‘bout that, but we couldn’t chance you calling for help”, Rose said, removing Finn’s and Armitage’s gags. “It’s not needed anymore.”
“This is madness”, Finn groaned.
Rose grinned, but then her eyes fell on Armitage and she finally fully registered that he wasn’t wearing his iconic Icewing-jacket anymore. It was as if the old companion had indeed turned into a different person, the son of a First Order General.
“What?” Armitage Hux barked, when he could bear the erstwhile friend’s stare no longer.
“Yes, what”, Rose sighed. “What the hell…”
From the cockpit, they could hear Poe’s voice:
“This is Black Leader, returning to base. Dameron, Tico, BB-8 and two prisoners: One First Order officer cadet and Armitage… Hux.”
An uneasy silence followed, but it wasn’t long enough to suggest a conversation on the other end. Apparently whoever had been listening on the other side had been informed about the engineer’s parentage.
“What about Icewing?” Leia Solo asked.
Leaning forward on the bench, Armitage yelled: “Is pissed and will want to have words with Ben! He better dresses himself warmly!”
Poe turned up the volume, so that Rose and the prisoners could clearly hear the reply, that was a chuckle, followed by: “I’ll see you all in an hour then. Godspeed, Black Squad!”
Finn didn’t want to, but he couldn’t help but laugh out loud at the shameless display of respectlessness. Not just that, there was also the aspect he had noticed when he had arrested the group in front of the escape pods: The rebels’ loyalty was to each other even over the mission, maybe even over their faction. That was pure evil, and exactly what he had gotten trained against from childhood, but also so very, very enticing.

Dave who gave you permission to tug on my heart strings like that?
Here is like the most concise version of my thoughts I am capable of generating 5 minutes after the finally
1. Ezra ahsoka and Sabine are the knee father son and holy spirit I love them and would die for them
2. Sabine's helmet just auto generating into the world was awesome. It means ahsoka picked it up and brought it for her queen behaviour
3. I appreciate that they mention Kanan by name this live action shows sometimes have a habit of just not mentioning important animated characters (like how Satine wasn't mentioned once in the mandalorian)
4. Sabine's family being wiped out on mandalore... I don't know why it took me so long to piece that together that yeah... they probably died. I guess I assumed people kind of just left after the siege but it was intact then and.... can't tall forever moving on
5. It was a violation for that trooper to just pluck Sabine's helmet off her head like that. A disgrace to the way. I'm a little shocked her helmet doesn't seal? I thought most of them did but what do I know
6. Yaya new kanan inspired lightsaber for Ezra just dropped.
7. Force sensitive Sabine. I have mixed thoughts on this but it was awfully convienient
8. I would love if Ahsoka just dual wielded one lightsaber and then Morgan's sword I think it was such a badass as thing for them to do a real win for the gays
9. Ahsoka being afraid of being left alone to die... just think about how many times that thought has crossed her mind. ESPECIALLY with the "all your friends are dead" line.
10. Baylan you SOB. Get your ass back here and stop cosplaying force daddy. Shin needs you. Also, highly sus by the way. But could be cool if it ever leads to a baylan, ahsoka and whoever the "son" will be trio eventually.
11. Manifesting the purrgils return to come save our girlie pops. Really thought that's what the hole in the sky was for.
12. I see u. I see u Dave with the whole "shadows in the stars" thing. I see anakin. And as much as I love the idea of him watching over ahsoka, I also don't like it because he's probably teaching her to be a force ghost which sets her up to die i am weary
13. Ezra not taking off the stormtroopers costume before dropping in on a republic ship is the most Ezra thing ever what a mad lad. Also, go hug your mom bro
14. I don't like them being left behind. But there is something to be said about the possibility of wolfwren now
15. Ahsoka fearing Sabine would turn to the darkside because she experienced loss is such a real reaction for her. She's seen what loss can do to a person
16. Um what was that cargo? Were those bodies in caskets. Clones? Dathomir stuff? I'm not sure but I don't like it
17. They better find their way home in the first episode of season 2 I need this rebels reunion ASAP stop holding out on me filoni
#star wars#clone wars#andor#ahsoka#the mandalorian#ahsoka tv show#ezra bridger#sabine wren#ahsoka tv#ahsoka final#ahsoka finale#i am in processing mode#when is season 2#all i want is for family to be together#the sword was lowkeye kind of cool#thrawn flocking to dathomir immediately is a red flag#what was in the ship cargo#were those bodies

Random Asahna Headcanons and Facts
![Tumblr media](https://64.media.tumblr.com/ea3687939301acf5abc97c1b4d80fbe7/f0b13bfd452c6040-e7/s540x810/50c03034ea5f7676e5fc4d805d6f212986712a98.jpg)
(but since it’s an oc it’s actually canon :P)
As a Padawan:
She has up pictures of Anakin, Obi Wan, and Madeline (my friend bri’s oc) on her walls and has definitely talked off Ahsoka’s ear asking about what it’s like to be Anakin’s padawan.
Especially during the Clone Wars, I feel like padawans are much more rowdy and rebellious, so I’m definitely leaning into that with Asahna, especially with her best friend (if you make out with your friends) being Caleb Dume.
She and Cal met during one of her studious phases when she fell asleep in the library and Cal lightly nudges her awake. She immediately becomes fascinated with this shy, fiery haired boy. She hunts him down soon after and follows him around quite a bit, before introducing him to Caleb. She basically pleads with Caleb if “they could keep him”.
As mentioned above, while nothing is specifically lined out in terms of romance, Asahna and Caleb sneak around in have kissing sessions throughout the temple. This all started when they ended up on their second mission together (after meeting on their first one) and they were the last two around the fire and just looking at stars. Asahna initiated it…
The little trio loves to sit by the fountain and read or relax once they have gotten back from their missions.
Asahna absolutely has a fascination with bugs which mostly dies out after the Geonsian brain worms. She still occasionally ventures to the nature area of the temple and likes to watch little beetles crawl up the trees.
Even at 15, she likes to hang around with younglings and teach them what Yoda allows. She has so much love for the future jedi, which is what leads her to meeting a 4 yr old Leysha.
Although she is a very rebellious padawan, she deeply respects her master and those who have helped raise her into who she is. She often goes and meditates with Yoda and seeks his counsel.
As a fugitive (about the next decade after Order 66):
She absolutely loves hot chocolate! She loves to brew up some for her and Leysha (the youngling she saved) while they sit on her bunk curled up with a soft blanket and a holonet show on. She loves to drink it late at night and first thing in the morning (a very tired asah below).
Asah makes sure that Leysha stays on the ship whenever she has to work a job. Whether that is meeting up with an informant or dropping off some smuggled weapons. This also means that she has stocked up on toys and things for Ley to do while she is left alone.
As much as Asahna claims that their mosswa (original creature, inspo down below), Gigi, is for Ley, she can’t deny how much love she has for the mossy mammal when it curls up on her shoulder when it’s late at night and she is alone in the cockpit, piloting the DawnShredder (YT-2400) to a new planet.
Even though there are about 4 crew rooms on the DS and they each technically have their own rooms, Leysha and Asahna sleep in the same room and most nights, on the same bunk. Mostly due to Asahna wanting to be able to comfort Ley after nightmares.
She is certainly guarded and a much more hardened version of herself but for Leysha’s sake, she puts on a smile and makes sure to be what she had needed in the last 10 years for Ley.
As a rebel:
She meets up with an informant who happeneds to be Hera. Out of the two existing Ghost crew, she finds Hera more attractive in the beginning. The jet juice certainly makes Kanan look better.
She has the exact same coping skills as Kanan, aka being an alcoholic and a slut. Which is exactly how she meets Kanan… by getting drunk and hooking up with him.
That doesn’t stop her from stealing weapons from the Ghost (Kanan took her back to his cause she never brings men to the DS because she doesn’t want to disturb Ley).
Asahna and Kanan do not recognize each other and will not for a couple years.
Zeb is the first person that Asahna genuinely connects with. It was mostly due to the fact of trauma bonding and having to deal with watching your people die (she was at the temple during 66).
She constantly fights with Chopper as a way to release stress. Sure her and Kanan hook up to do that too but what’s more fun than yelling back and forth with a droid that happens to be a war criminal.
Asah never gives up the DawnShredder. It sits on lothal and from time to time, her and Ley sleep on it as a form of sleepovers. Which means that her and Ley bunk together on the Ghost which is alright because they had practically been doing that before joining the Ghost crew.
so yeah that’s the list i have for right now !! most of this came up on a whim cause i had like 3 but all of them really suit her lol
(references below, found the moss ferret on pinterest, if you know the artists user or @ pls let me know! and asahna was done by little_joy_15 on instagram!!)

Tempest Little Misters mini bios #4 (31-40)
Ms. Ticket & Mr. Token Sharing the thirty-first spot are the Little Misters that were created at the exact same millisecond. Based around the arcade, the paper thin Ms. Ticket is eager to reward those that are skilled and determined to use their gift from Mr. Token wisely in the games they have littered throughout the warehouse-sized arcade. Due to their appearances they are not allowed to be out of the Factory or a site in case of revealing anomalies to the normal populace.
Mr. Beast One of the Little Misters that has next to no human characteristics, Mr. Beast is a true threat to deal with. Taking a page out of Van Helsing’s book, Mr. Beast is a giant werewolf-like beast that has the unfortunate addition of tendrils that can spawn if Mr. Beast is feeling threatened. Thankfully Mr. Beast has only met his match once, and would rather spend time alone or in the faux woods than eating people. It is still wise to not antagonize him or his siblings.
Little Ms. Hide Equal parts energetic and shy, Little Ms. Hide is the queen of hide and seek. With the ability to go from her normal white clothes to match whatever color she needs, she can flawlessly blend in to whatever she might need, like her favorite animal the cuttlefish. After test audiences deemed her not fun due to how easy it was to lose her, Dr. Wondertainment made it so that she gives off sparkles to find her. That way it’ll always be a fun time!
Ms. Music Bearing a piano tie, Ms. Music wishes only to sing for you! Music is one way to help others, so Ms. Music was created to help spread that. Unfortunately, things took a bad turn after one performance. A raid by a GOI took place in the same building she was, and so she took a bullet to the throat. She currently cannot sing, and her speech has been reduced to a rasp. While she can still perform, they all tend to be melancholy in nature.
Little Mx. Magic Magic is one of the most common anomalies to appear in media and also in real life, however their lack of knowledge and lack of access to people who can teach them often leads to their death. Little Mx. Magic is your go-to sorcerer to help! With a wide variety of hexes, jinxes, spells, and curses, they will be the one to help you get used to your new powers. But don’t ever ask their help with potions, as they are absolutely horrid at it. In a similar vein, please don’t have them cook either.
Mr. Deer/Mr. Wolf Dr. Wondertainment loves his husbands very much, so it’s no surprise that he would design something in his honor. These two, unlike Ms. Ticket & Mr. Token, share the same body. If he has antlers on, then the meek Mr. Deer is in charge, but if the claws are out, then the fierce Mr. Wolf is in charge. Despite sharing the body, they don’t share minds, so be mindful of that when interacting.
Mr. Paint He drips, he oozes, he wants to make you a picture, it’s Mr. Paint! Originally in a smart suit and monocle, he was a rival to most famous artists, and surpassed the rest! This caught the attention of a trio of silings, who used their creations to deface Mr. Paint. His torture resulted in a hunch, a missing eye, and permanent hardened paint alongside his back.
Mr. Dragon The final bad guy of the Fantasy series, Mr. Dragon is intimidating. With his claws, flame breathe, and long wings on his back, he can be a bit much. Unfortunately his greed and overall antagonistic nature make him quite hard to put up with. Thankfully he can be swayed to more friendly terms, but that might prove to be bad for you. Has scars on his wings from being shot at.
Mr. Rebel Most people tend to grow out of toys and fun, and begin to shift to a more rebellious phase, which is where Mr. Rebel comes into play. With his fang tooth necklace and his torn jacket he gives off an unusually amplified aura of intimidation that is very off-putting. DO be advised, he loves going against orders he receives, so don’t be alarmed if he curses you out, harms you, or you end up deceased.
Mr. Gravity Ask around and you might find that Dr. Wondertainment is the big inspiration behind Uraraka. Mr. Gravity, unlike his future little brother Mr. Astro is not wearing space gear, but rather plain clothes, after all he is a plain guy. That is, if your version of plain involves swapping your gravity by touching your fingers together, which Mr. Gravity can do! It seems he might have a tic of some kind, best not to bring it, alright?

Hey. So. Reblogging this post again. I may or may not have spent the night doing... research.
Here's a list of every canonical Mr. Lancer fact.
And yes, I did re-watch the show for this. And re-read the comics.
No canonical first name. He's just Mr Lancer. Surname comes from a café near Nickelodeon HQ.
Crossdresses for fun, and then uses a photo on his desk of him crossdressing as emotional blackmail. Wore a red wig and a pink sparkly dress.
Owns a green tuxedo suit with a blue undershirt that he wears for prom events. Honestly pretty cute.
Huge fan of Shakespeare, and organizes the Casper High theater performances. Quotes plays a lot. Thinks Danny is a surprisingly good actor (when given a script. Danny can't improvise for the half-life of him).
Has both striped-pink and Shakespeare-themed underwear.
Super close to Jazz. She trusts him more than any other teacher, and he supported her every step of her education. She comes to him to talk about Danny. 10/10
"Ahh, everybody's mood has lifted, as though some gloomy malevolence has been shooed away. Your disappearing act worked marvelously," is an actual quote from the show. He unironically talks like this.
Despite being bald, he’s so hairy it's concerning. So much back hair. Shaves constantly.
Good friends (and silly rivals) with Tetslaff.
Has a Casper High Ravens coffee mug.
The staff alternates hosting the Halloween Haunted House every year. He thus has a very high tolerance to jumpscare horrors.
Hates pop music.
Literally suspended everyone who skipped class to go to Ember's show.
His license plate is “LNCR.” He drives an old blue car.
His biggest fear is not understanding basic math. Hates the sound of nails on a chalkboard.
Teaches English and History (and occasionally Maths). Also taught Astronomy as an elective. Might be an overall course coordinator? He's also the Vice Principal, right under Ishiyama.
Also, one of Lancer's main staff offices has security cameras, apparently? It's a very pink office with a globe and a few chairs. It shows up every few episodes in season 1 as a surprisingly consistent background. It's where he does his PTA meetings.
Was stuck in a closet for a whole weekend. RIP
Was the one that initiated school-wide ghost drills and actual ghost protection (even if the safety measures started off a little lame).
Collects tiny trains in his basement, and has a blue train conductor outfit to match. Calls the model town “Lancerville.”
The first male cheerleader at Casper High, and possibly the district. Main organizer of Spirit Week, and full of school spirit.
Loves meat, and made a BBQ for the teachers when Sam insisted on the vegan menus. This was, I might note, right before ghosts first showed up.
Handcuffed C.A.T test answers to his wrist.
Was honestly really disrespectful towards minimal wage jobs, especially those that worked at the Nasty Burger. Not cool, Lancer.
In the TUE timeline, was forgotten after he died :(
Swears in book titles. All books are context-relevant, so that the themes, characters, or double meanings of the title apply to the situation.
Buys his own Christmas gifts. Also, he has a fireplace, and his living room is so brown.
Horrible reputation amongst students, mostly because they think he's very lame. Really bad at addressing bullying, somewhat because he also suffers it. He's constantly busy with students calling him for stuff.
Has a metal plate with his name to make his desk look fancy. Also has a framed photo with three rebel students, which might imply he used to be a foster parent or something of sort.
Commits tax fraud! All adults in Amity Park do. I'm led to believe it's to cover up the financial costs of ghost disasters, but the reason is never confirmed. Also openly refuses to cooperate with the feds (GIW) until they threaten him with his tax crimes. Love that he's anti-fed. Good for him.
Canonically a pro gamer. Loves old sci-fi and talks to himself while gaming. Beat the main trio. Goes to the arcade when he can.
Honestly pretty biased at first; especially towards the jocks, because of aforementioned hyper school spirit. He also gave the worst detentions, including physical labor. Behavior improved as the series progressed, thank goodness.
Happiest when he sees his students succeed. He is so proud of them, he wants nothing but the best for them in life. He actively tries to help them study and gives them so many chances. Amazing.
Led the school trip with Tetslaff. She made him wear a bear costume "to keep the kids happy and take their minds off the disappearances." He did it without hesitation. He was SO concerned for students when they started disappearing :(
Reads books on teenage behavior and teen jargon, such as "How to Sound Hip for the Unhip." That's very skibidi rizz, no cap.
Loved dry white toast. Of course he does.
Genuinely concerned Danny wasn't eating enough. Also went out of his way to make sure that Danny got to the safe area during a ghost attack.
Tried to roll a boulder up a hill like Sisyphus and almost succeeded.
Uses a fire extinguisher to protect his students from a monster. Hell yeah.
Also used to be paid per grade, which is in itself a terrible system. Thus sees his students' failures as a measurable reflection of his own.
Has a very nice bathroom at home, actually. It's teal with some checkered patterns and a deconstructed flower painting. Good design.
Helped run Dora's beauty pageant, which went horribly wrong in every way. Has three lines in that episode and he speaks Old English the entire time??
Also tried to start a school radio, which also went horribly wrong.
Used to like the Fenton parents, but not as much now, both for letting Danny "slack off" and repeatedly targeting him with ghost weapons.
Surprisingly, almost as tall as Jack Fenton.
Take this, use it for any blorbo reasons.
I'm so obsessed with canon Mr. Lancer. He's a gamer. He dresses in drag. He's fat with lots of body hair. He has a vanity plate of his own last name. He was Casper High's first male cheerleader. He's committed tax fraud
#danny phantom#dp#It's so fascinating to me#In a lot episodes he shows up for at most one scene#Either to get Danny in trouble or to be the punch line of a joke#But they give him#So many character traits#They make him such a developed full complex character#Accidentally make him layered#And looking through Grown Up Eyes#He is also so dang realistic#Like yeah that IS a lame autistic man with a heart of gold and not paid enough to be here#He's so amazing#Incredible guy#mr lancer#mr. lancer#mr lancer danny phantom#character study#ananapost#I'm normal about this show#also I've been compiling these for a bit bcz of my fic#But now it's nice to have a complete list

TIC Part 4: Align -Chapter 1
"Is this what you want? Total dominance over Verum?" Skye gritted his teeth, forcing himself to stay calm. The Templar Grandmaster laughed, a deep, bone-chilling sound. "Ah, Mentor, you know what we want. The 'free land of Verum' in your vision is a chaotic fantasy. Humanity can't survive without order." He tapped his tablet, smirking slightly. "Murder, theft, hacking, assassination- We Templars would rid of the bad roots within Verum once and for all." "Yet. Templars were behind LakeStar and DFI, no?" Skye countered with his trademark bluntness. Halston didn't falter. "It's a game. The two companies are to merge and reform now that we gained full control. It wouldn't be an unholy merge of a black market and a smuggling empire- No, under our control, it would be the force that unites Verum. It would be the stepping stone to Paradise." Skye scoffed. "Paradise, you say…"
"Mr. Volpi? Are you with us?" Hertz blinked away the sleepiness, trying to look as innocent as possible. "Sì, signor- I mean, ma'am." The teacher eyed him suspiciously, then went back to her lecture, something about 14th-century Florence and the Renaissance- which, to be honest, he could teach better than the droning woman on stage. The Assassin sighed, stretching out, and flicked on Eagle Vision out of boredom. The classroom shone a dull grey-red, to his surprise.
"Red? Ah, yeah, it seems like EV categorizes Templar-minded people as red even if they aren't hostile. Isu genes nowadays are wonky." Ivy whistled, leaning on the roof of their off-campus hideout. Hertz groaned, trying to stress that it wasn’t the problem, but Ivy shushed him. "I got ourselves some new recruits! Here's Max Lynch, from the Canadian Brotherhood." The boy scrolling on his phone beside Ivy waved, then drawled in a lazy accent. "Hey there, Gia. I'm not a 'new recruit'- I am more experienced than Ivy here, mind you." Hertz greeted back awkwardly, at a loss for what to do. Just then, two soft thuds sounded from behind the trio, making them turn around instinctively. "Max? I never thought you were an Assassin, too!" Zero chuckled, as another person landed beside her. "I'm sure I introduced him to you before, Z." Sienna Collins sighed, fiddling with her Assassin pendant.
Hertz shifted uncomfortably, trying to get used to the sudden influx of allies, while Zero spoke up again. "So, Ivy, about that school president thing-" Ivy nodded, clapping to get everyone's attention. "As she just said, I'm having a go for the school president. My party is going to be called the Rooks. Our goal: to prevent my evil sister from making the school a Templar business." Max lifted a brow. "Rooks. You really are recreating the Frye's empire, aren't you?" Ivy just grinned widely, visibly pleased with herself.
The "Trinity" party, led by Dove Frye, reflected the nature of its leader. Made up of social butterflies, honor roll students, and debate champions, the party gained popularity almost at the instant it was created. They were powerful. More so than Ivy's ragtag party of loners, nerds, and rebels who agreed to disagree with the majority. But Ivy has that weird charisma about her that made her party formidable, and it spread across the campus in the form of historical fiction in the school magazines. In a daring move, Ivy brought the thousand-year Assassin-Templar wars to light, telling stories about their ideologies and historical feats. The Brotherhood disapproved of the decision, but they couldn't do much but chastise the kid in hopes that she'd give up. But it has gone beyond a petty school event, or even a cold war between Assassins and Templars. It is personal. Ivy and Dove, the Rooks and the Trinity, freedom and order- They were two ends of the scale, twins that are the mirror image of each other yet move in completely different directions.

Review: Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix
Synopsis:
There is a door at the end of a silent corridor. And it’s haunting Harry Potter’s dreams. Why else would he be waking in the middle of the night, screaming in terror?
Harry has a lot on his mind for this, his fifth year at Hogwarts: a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher with a personality like poisoned honey; a big surprise on the Gryffindor Quidditch team; and the looming terror of the Ordinary Wizarding Level exams. But all these things pale next to the growing threat of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named---a threat that neither the magical government nor the authorities at Hogwarts can stop.
As the grasp of darkness tightens, Harry must discover the true depth and strength of his friends, the importance of boundless loyalty, and the shocking price of unbearable sacrifice.
His fate depends on them all.
Plot:
Harry knew Lord Voldemort was back, but everyone besides Dumbledore and his friends did not believe him. Being left at the Dursleys all summer with no communication to the wizarding world, Harry is frustrated and unsure He finds his way back into the world he loves through the usage of underage magic that saves him and Dudley from rogue dementors. Saved by Dumbeldore, he was dumped at the Order of the Phenix headquarters, where Ron and Hermione had spent all summer. Feeling left out, Harry felt even more excluded when they were named Gryffindor’s prefixes and not him. With the Ministry infiltrating Hogwarts, giving them a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher that is not letting them use magic, Hermione convinces Harry to step up. Forming Dumbledore’s Army, the three fifths years start this illegal club teaching their peers proper magic, to defend themselves against Voldemort and his growing followers.
Thoughts:
J.K Rowling takes us deeper into the wizarding world as Harry and friends enter their fifth year of school. With Voldemort back, an unbelieving Ministry, Rowling begins to show the cracks in the wizarding government system, as one might see in our own. When the government infiltrates the education system, we see our trio rebel back, and learn so awesome magic. This book also starts to show the deeper plot of the story, giving you the explanation to why Harry was chosen as a baby by Voldemort, and why Harry must fight Voldemort. Character development takes a step back with Harry in this one, as we get to see the jealousy, unreasonable, child side of him, as we would expect any other fifteen-year-old boy. Writing equality was good, as Rowling kept the book moving at a steady pace, but given the longness of the book, in between the action we get to see regular life at Hogwarts, after all, it is their school, and plus their O.W.L examination year. Rowling also added an interesting element of what our characters are going to do once school is over. After all, school is only seven years, and they are in their fifth after school career plans are going to affect their future in the upcoming school years. What makes this book stand out in the series? Beside key information you learn about the past, you get to see Harry, Ron and Hermione really step up into leadership roles and show that they are willing to fight the darkness, even though they are still children who are not as experienced as the others.
