#SaeCin

[totallycorrectjediorderquotes]

Kit: Hey, Cin! Open up!

Cin, from the other side of the door: It all started when Dooku...

Kit: No I meant-

Saesee: Wait, let him finish.

OH HEY LOOK, A BONUS!

T'ra Saa and Shaak Ti are there for their mens

[commanderbengiskywalker]

can i get uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

SaeCin for the Ask Meme, my dude?

Do I ship it?

The answer is yes, I do. I am more interested in rare pairings with characters versus popular ones. Cin deserves more love and the height dynamic leaves a lot of possibilities.

When did I start shipping it?

Whenever you introduced me to it.

Popular opinion.

It isn’t popular but I think it has a lot of potential between the two as we don’t know much about either character especially with Cin. Again, the silent and stoic Saesee would find love in the most unlikely places and finds Cin’s calm nature refreshing compared to others. Cin I think would just be surprised to be picked by a High Council member as he is just a Battlemaster and isn’t as well known compared to his lineage siblings.

Unpopular opinion.

I don’t have one? It’s a rare ship so yeah, don’t have one.

I hope you enjoyed. If you want to ask more you can.

[commanderbengiskywalker]

They are neat.

I just think they’re neat

Kit: fellow gays what is your wisdom?

Cin: world hard and cold, chest soft and warm

Ahsoka: girl hot

Mace: watch naruto

[totallycorrectjediorderquotes]

Saesee: Are you a cuddler?

Cin: I AM THE BATTLEMASTER OF THE TEMP— yeah I’m a cuddler.

[totallycorrectjediorderquotes]

Cin: Iktotchi facts! If you hold an Iktotchi up to your ear, you can hear him

Shaak: He's impressed by your strength, you will be wed in the spring

Hello again! Glad to see someone remember Cin Drallig exists! The poor Battlemaster could use some more content in the fandom :D Anyway what made you interesting in using him for your incorrect quotes and stuff and do you have any headcanons for him? Also will his Padawan Serra Keto from the old Revenge of the Sith video game be making any appearances in your work with Cin?

I LOVE CIN? HE’S JUST??? A CHARM??? ONE GRUFF, ANGY BOY FOR ME?? Cin easily makes my top 10 list of Jedi. Serra actually has shown up briefly in my Wolffepack Against Child Abuse Modern Star Wars AU in the second installment alongside Bene! 

ANYWAYS YOU ASK AND YOU SHALL RECEIVE HEADCANONS:

• Cin never got along with Qui-Gon Jinn, despite having an OK relationship with Dooku. The two of them clashed over a lot of things, and Cin specifically warned Yoda about Qui-Gon when he was pushing for Obi-wan to be his padawan. The two’s fights escalated to blows during and after Melida/Daan.

• Cin practically raised Kit, and as such, Kit looks up to him like an older brother-slash-father. Kit often comes to him still if he needs advice. Cin called him a clown when he came searching for courting advice.

• He also helped out with Bant and Nahdar when he could, and was the one who finished up Nahdar’s padawanship when Kit was called to the front lines.

• Despite the stories the Padawans tell the Initiates , though, Cin’s only strict and gruff when the kids have sabers in hand. Afterwards, he’s always willing to listen to their problems. Though he’s a bit shit at giving them good advice. It’s the thought that counts.

• Cin isn’t a master at all Saber Forms  in the same sense as those who master one form— such as Mace with Vaapad or Kit with Shii-Cho— but he is insanely dangerous since he can easily slip in and out of saber forms mid combat. Repeatedly.

• Not to say that he’s not a master in every form, because he is. but those who specialize in one form only take it a step up.

• Kit Fisto, Plo Koon, Agen Kolar, and Shaak Ti are his usual duel-mates, the five of them absolutely going feral when they’re out of sight of younglings and padawans because it gets dangerous. Cin throws lightsabers. It always freaks Kit out, though he should be used to it.

• Speaking of which, Cin’s a fantastic marksman and has a crazy throwing arm. Someone once asked him what kind of Saber Style it was and he just flatly responded “the Keeping Master Fisto Out Of Trouble” style.

• But yeah, the duels between Cin and any of those four get intense. Most duels between him and any of the masters get intense, though. It’s a good way to test one’s skills.

• He’s literally so indifferent to the nickname “the Troll” that the Order has given him, it’s hilarious. Some Initiate tried to use it as an insult to him and he basically just went “Okay, and?”

• Cin always carries more than one lightsaber on his body at one time. His usual, green one, two yellow shoto, and a blue saber-staff.

• He’s one of the best to go to if you have questions about lightsabers, since he works with them so much. He’s the one who builds all of the training ones, after all.

• He casually refers to the Temple Guards as his “kids”, which is why he’s friends with Plo. 

• During the Clone Wars the two would just go “how are your kids” “doing fine, and yours?” “Also well” 

• He also loves Bene and Serra as his own daughters , along with Whie as a son, as well, despite the boy not being his Padawan

• very much the type of dry-wit humor person. Deadpan snarker. It’s hard to tell if he’s joking if you don’t know him.

• He states that he’ll never get used to the strength of non-humans, as he’s been quite literally thrown by Shaak Ti, Eeth Koth, and Agen Kolar both in duels and on the few missions outside the Temple he’s done.

• Cin suggested that the clones should be trained in saber-work and offered to do it himself. It was put on the back burner, though the few times he’s not in the Temple and down in the Barracks, he’s offered to train the troopers there. Some, like the Commanders and a few ARCs took him up on the offer. And then realized the reason why some Jedi grimaced when his name was mentioned.

• Fives will forever say that ARC training was easier than Saber training with Cin. Battlemaster was a name well earned. Cin then told them the reason he was so hard on them was because he was cut for time, the Clones didn’t have years between leave to learn Saber Forms, so tuck your damn elbows in and adjust your feet, Hardcase.

• Surprising no one, the 104th and 91th troops picked it up faster than the others. Because of course the two would teach their men saberskills on the field. So Cin stepped up the difficulty level. It was fun— for him at least. 

• On that note, Cin suggests that maybe Wolffe should learn Vaapad from Mace and Shii-Cho from Kit when the war’s over. No risk of falling to the dark but he’d have all the unpredictability and speed from both forms.

• He considers the Coruscant Guard to be like his “nephews” in arms, since their job is similar to that of the Temple Guard— and he knows that when both groups can, the two Guard groups get to gether down at 79s for drinks and fun.

• Debated giving Fox and the CG shotos for protection, but eventually decided against it. (Which is a shame.)

• He’s very easy to fluster under that hard exerior and when he’s not teaching or fighting, something that— and here’s where my own personal ships come in and I apologize if this isn’t your cup of tea— Shaak Ti and Saesee Tiin take full advantage of. Shaak teases him relentlessly when she can. Calls him cute and just? He’s CG paint red. “I’m what” “You hard me” “hhhhhhhhh” 

• Saesee just. Picks him up from time to time? Easiest way to fluster him, just pick him up and he shuts up. Cin.exe has stopped working.

• A personal headcanon of mine that disregards canon, from what I know, is that the reason Cin couldn’t beat Vader was because he could quite literally feel the deaths of everyone in the Temple, and outside of it. With so many of his students, friends, and family dying, he was off kilter and easier to kill.

The Small Moments When We Find Peace

Fandom(s): Star Wars: The Clone Wars, Star Wars (Prequel Trilogy)

Rating: K

Summery: Sometimes a calm day is hard to find, but when it’s offered, they make the best of it.

Pairing(s): Shaak Ti/Cin Drallig/Saesee Tiin (implied)

AO3

Saesee was originally supposed to actually be in this but I couldn't figure out where. Maybe next time.

Also yeah. I know Bene's only Cin's student through saber-instruction but like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we don't know who her master was and she only has shown up in that 5 second moment where she dies in the movie and nowhere else. Until her official story is confirmed, I'm going with this.

"Your hair is graying.”

“It’s been graying since before the war even started.”

Shaak just laughed lightly as she brushed Cin’s hair out. Saesee was finishing with a mission report to the Council, Shaak was in-between missions, and Cin was all but Temple-bound since he ascended to his position of Head of Security. As the Battlemaster he had most clearance to leave the Temple, but that had, of course, become null when he had taken up the Mantle of Head of Security and the Temple Guard roughly thirty years back.

Cin rolled his shoulder, grunting a bit at the slight pull. A scar that never fully healed from when the Yinchorri infiltrated the Temple. Shaak’s hands left his hair, a hand gently resting over the spot and she slowly eased the tension from his muscles.

“Tense.”

“The Guard is pulling more shifts now. The Senate wants some of our Sentinels to protect the Senate Building, which means the Guard and myself when I can. None of the others would be able to do the job. I can’t see Quinlan Vos possibly standing Guard for hours on end, can you?”

She just laughed again. “No, I suppose not.”

He hummed a bit as she began to brush his hair again and silence settled over the two of them for a while.

It was nice, simply sitting in the Room of a Thousand Fountains. There were no classes he had to teach— the other instructors insisted on giving him the day off— and Serra had taken Bene out for a small mission down in some of the lower levels of Coruscant. That left him with time to relax, and with both Shaak and Saesee back at the temple after their respective missions, he couldn't help but wonder if this was orchestrated. But even if it was, who was he to really look a gift horse in the mouth?

Cin huffed a bit as Shaak lightly tugged his hair and he tilted his head back a bit. “Yes?” “How is Bene doing?”

A hum left him as he thought, tilting his head back down as a couple of Knights walked past, talking softly. A few padawans and younglings (supervised, of course) passed by, waving to them as well.

“She’s doing well. In both Master Sinube and Master Kcaj’s classes she’s been getting good marks,” He told the Togruta, and he couldn’t keep the pride from his tone. “She’s a good child.”

Shaak laughed softly, pressing a gentle kiss to the top of his head. “Such a doting parent.”

“That is what is Masters tend to be, or are supposed to be at least.”

She just laughed again, going back to messing with his hair— braiding it, quite possibly. He didn’t mind. It’s not like he could do it himself all that well (and honestly, he wasn’t all that good when it came to braiding Bene’s hair either) and he didn’t have anywhere to be.

The two of them settled back into silence, Cin tilting his head back a bit to follow Shaak’s hands and closing his eyes. For a little bit, he could pretend that all was peaceful, that in a few hours, both Shaak and Saesee wouldn’t be out on the front again, that he wouldn’t be training children in preparation to defend their lives tomorrow.

It was hard to find peace in the middle of a war, but he would make the most of what he could find.

Nightly Reminder:

Un Cin your Tiallin and un Plo your Mickoonit. Plin yourselves, everyone.

Have a nice evening.

[commanderbengiskywalker]

I thought it was his “here we go again” face? Or is it “Oh boy” face? Either way, he doesn’t care for your shit. Unless you’re Cin, then you’re getting hugs.

Saesee: I don't have a resting bitch face. My bitch face is always on duty, ever vigilant. My bitch face will rest when its work is done.

Cin: I’m a bisexual, not a mathematician, Skywalker

Anakin: I thought you were from Lavisar...

Cin: What makes you think that I would I freak out?

Saesee: I love you

Cin: I'm freaking out

Cin: Due to personal reasons I will be sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box.

Kit: Saesee said “I love you” and you said “thanks”, didn’t you?

Cin, already in the box: The reasons are personal–

Kit: oNE OF US CAN BREATHE UNDER WATER AND IT'S NOT YOU CIN, GET OUTTA THERE—

[commanderbengiskywalker]

Aw...Get out of the box Cin.

Cin: Due to personal reasons I will be sinking to the bottom of the ocean in a large metal box.

Kit: Saesee said “I love you” and you said “thanks”, didn’t you?

Cin, already in the box: The reasons are personal–
