Don't give away the answer before the poll ends! I'll reblog with an explanation once it's done.

"Why the big red--" I've already had five people vote in the wrong direction.

Today’s sketches: Jon Antilles, Xanatos, Feemor and Arla Fett. I think you can tell who is who. I did Arla last, so she got special rendering privileges.

Gargoyles was a huge part of my teen years and Xanatos was always my series fave :)

I know, Doyalistically, that the JA books are meant for a younger audience and so they're entirely written with characters/logic to suit the plot, but every time I think about the whole...Xanatos situation, it kind of breaks my brain. Like, Qui-Gon probably took Xanatos on when he was 12-ish, going by the rules set up in the JA books, and then he decided to take Xanatos to Telos for his Trials at. fucking 16-ish. 4 years of training and Qui-Gon was just like "yeah I think that's enough. Surely a fucking third of the usual amount of training won't have any negative consequences on this literal child. YOLO"

Like. Xanatos is a villain who does inexcusable things etc etc, but holy shit did Qui-Gon not help at all, even before he killed Crion in front of Xanatos.

Thoughts on Xanatos in the Jedi Apprentice Books (so far)

m reading the jedi apprentice books for xanatos lore. im here for my blorbo who did it all. i do see why the obi-wan whump enjoyers got onto this, there is so much bad stuff happening to obiwan.

In summary-

Qui-Gon:

“Why was it so hard for Qui-Gon to trust him [obi-wan] still? Because I trusted another. I trusted Xanatos completely, and disaster was the result. The sense of loss was so great that even now Qui-Gon felt it like a living wound. He’d rather have taken a dozen blows from the pirate chieftain’s vibro-ax than to ever feel such loss and pain again.”

Me: xanatos mention!!! 🥺 🥰 🎉 🍿 <- eating popcorn

Xanatos: *haunting the narrative*

Obi-Wan: *numerous injuries, passes out, develops a dangerous fever, blames himself for everything*

Xanatos's entrance in the second book is brilliant. thats my blorbo, hes shown up late without starbucks and hes definitely up to something.

“The door suddenly flew open. A young man stood in the doorway. His shiny black cape was lined in a blue so deep it was almost black as well. A broken circle scar marked his cheek. Qui-Gon's gaze locked with the intruder's. The moment hung suspended in the air. Then, to Qui-Gon's surprise, Xanatos broke into a delighted grin. "Old friend! So you are here. I hardly dared to hope." Xanatos strode forward, handsome and commanding. His black hair flowed to his shoulders, and his dark blue eyes matched the lining on his cape.”

the only warning qui-gon got of this was an ominously vague note:

"“I have been looking forward to this day." The message had included a small drawing of a broken circle next to Xanatos' name — there was a gap where the ends should meet. It was a reminder to Qui-Gon. A taunt. Xanatos had a scar on his cheek in that form. Qui-Gon meditated on the message again, letting all the possible implications come to him. He could be walking into a trap. Or Xanatos could be playing a game with him. He could be galaxies away right now, smiling at the idea the he made his former Master shudder in fear at the sight of his name.”

now im thinking about an all is well au where xanatos is a jedi and now a knight. he still gives his former master heartattacks leaving ominously vague sticky notes in unexpected places and kiddnapping his apprentice. but instead of for evil, he is taking obiwan out for milkshakes at dex's, feeding him too much sugar, running around the city together and doing things that obiwan would think quigon would not let him but qg probs actually would. xanatos is a teeny bit desperate for his padawan brother to like him that hes resorted to both blatant attempts at bribery and asking feemor's advice, not that he'd admit to any of it.

whats driving me mad is that in the comics (THERE ARE XANATOS COMICS OF HIS LAST MISSION AS A PADAWAN AND FALL THAT HARDLY ANYONE SEEMS TO KNOW EXIST GO READ THEM AND SCREAM WITH ME), he clearly has light brown hair as a teenager, not black, and his eyes are brown that looks sometimes murky greenish or hazel depending on the lighting/colouring consistency but unmistakably not blue. i need an explanation other than inconsistencies in the text. the hair is explained by xanatos dyeing it for goth purposes, but the eyes? darksider burning orange would not be unexpected, but not dark blue. i think the answer could be that he's wearing coloured contacts to cover the darkside orange then chose blue both cause its different from his natural eye colour and for dramatics. also we need more brown-eyed characters, im sick of everyone having blue eyes as default.

okay back to reading the books, i simply needed to ramble. this will happen again.

he's my blorbo as in im grabbing him and shaking him in a most feral way. why im suddenly so obsessed. also why did they make him pretty with his swooshy cape and swooshy black hair and dubious intentions, that was somehow a choice made there. i want that cape.

Summary:

“Young Bant Eerin is having…difficulties.”

Feemor frowns. “Master, we have no way of knowing what she is truly seeing. It could be past, present or future— and we do not even know if the future she sees will come to pass.”

Even so, Bant’s visions are troubling, full of shadow and violence. At the centre of it all is one person. Sometimes man. Sometimes boy. Sometimes something else entirely. But it is always Kenobi, there is no denying that. His essence is the same, no matter how it twists and warps and crumbles.

“If we could only find him—” Qui-Gon interrupts himself, gaze far-off. “In another life, maybe, he could have been my- my padawan, but now…”

Feemor worries for his former Master. And for this strange youngling he’s never even met, and likely never will.

-

In which Obi-Wan acts in the only way he knows how after a lifetime of regret and self-sacrifice.

But the thing with that is this: Obi-Wan has thought himself to be alone for far, far too long. And he is not the only player on the field.

Me before classes: I will study Latin and listen to my profesor whole time

Me during Classes: Okay, so even If I de-aged Qui Gon I can still fit his 3 padawans if I just smash timeline with a hammer

I think I finally figured out ages in my (absolutely non-canon) timeline but this paper is a mess xD

Master Dooku makes cool pies. They are not just some regular cool pies; they are so cool that everyone in the galaxy wants to have a bite.

----

It was supposed to be a tiny picture about inviting Xanatos to the May 4th party. But now it's like... well, perhaps it will turn into a real short story sometime. xD I wonder what's so cool about this pie.

[phoenixyfriend]

The fact that Xanatos doesn't canonically have a last name and "du Crion" is just. It's fanon. It's very popular, the same level of fanon as "Yan" Dooku but.

Xanatos doesn't have a last name. Crion is just his dad's name, and we all made them a little French for the flair of it. Wild.

More Xanatoses! I had a lot of fun trying to translate his sharp/sleek cartoon design into my style.

[blackkatmagic]

My favorite niche tropes (take your pick):

- They're horny your honor

- Roasting as a love language

- I want to punch you in your mouth with my mouth

Character: Xanatos

Those are all delightful tags honestly.
