#also i'm forever weak for sith grandpa dooku

[prahacat]

Sometimes I sit and think about what we could have if Dooku, instead of striving to be #1 on both Komari's and Asajj's shitlist, was more committed to being a decent granddad to his two little murder kids. (AKA I'm living for the Sith family trope.)

Like, on the one hand, I doubt Ventress & Vosa would get along AT ALL, but on the other hand, what if they did? I'm really craving more depictions of female friendships in my mainstream media & we need more love for morally problematic women ... so why not do both? What if Dooku convinces Sidious that killing Komari would be a waste, and he teaches both her and Ventress? I just want the two of them to bond and become badass dual-wielding sisters in crime. So many possibilities. Them wreaking havoc together. Them double-teaming Obi-Wan. Love it when the bad guys get to show off their flawless teamwork! Or how them ganging up on Dooku during lightsaber training? That would make for some insane choreography!

For a bit of good old sw angst, they could have a 'rivals to best friends' arc. The influence of the dark side constantly alienates them, but there would be little shared moments where they unload their trauma on each other. And they could geek out on the best assassination techniques. Ofc at some point, Dooku inevitably betrays them—or they might even conspire to turn against him prematurely? They'd probably spur each other on. That would be cute. Classic Dooku move, too: not thinking things through and biting off more than he can chew with his two kids. And Ventress and Vosa can go underground together, sulking and basking in increasingly gruesome revenge fantasies. Just girly things.✨
