god tipping up your enemy's chin with your lightsaber is so hot 🥵

I can't decide which one would do it to the other so I think they should both get to do it. Obi-Wan does it first, almost by mistake, cornering against a wall an enraged Vaderkin who got wounded by clones and using his lightsaber simply to get him to pay attention to him and not the clones around getting away, and doesn't realise that it works a little too well.

The second time it happens isn't a coincidence because Vaderkin planned it for weeks and is ready to give Kenobi a taste of his own medicine and make HIM uncomfortable this time, but when Vaderkin actually does it --

when he presses his saber under Kenobi's chin, Kenobi's eyes widen, which is good, but then he smirks. The asshole smirks. Which is not what Vaderkin wanted. He really didn't expect Kenobi's hand to release pressure on his wrist and turns the touch into an almost caress, or even purrs "oh, I see now. That's why it worked last time. You actually liked it, didn't you?"

Dooku better not make any comment about the way Obi-Wan foolishly waves at him from the other side of the battlefield with a taunting smile on his face ten minutes later, when Vaderkin retreats to his shuttle as fast as possible without even killing anyone on the way.

Lavinia. PLease please please Lavinia. (And also Specter and Infernalis would be cool to learn a bit about.)

Full Name: Lavinia Palpatine Gender and Sexuality: Female; bi Pronouns: She/her Ethnicity/Species: Human; white. Birthplace and Birthdate: She was born on Coruscant, and she turns twenty a week or two before the Battle of Endor. Guilty Pleasures: Probably the closest thing is her baking hobby. It’s something that’s entirely hers. Phobias: As she puts it, she does not like walking into a room unprepared/without the information she needs to navigate through it. What They Would Be Famous For: Well, I mean. She’s Palpatine’s only child. That’s famous right there. And then she earns some fame in her own right once she’s in her late teens/an Adult and starts working towards her own agenda. What They Would Get Arrested For: [redacted for spoilers] or slicing/hacking. See above re: compulsive need for information; she learned how to get into classified databases pretty early on. Her father is aware of it; it’s sort of the...this may be apocryphal, but you know how Spartan boys were punished for getting caught stealing, not for actually stealing? This is in service of what he wants from her, so as long as she does it correctly/subtly/covers her tracks, she can get away with it. But if she got caught... OC You Ship Them With: ...I don’t actually ship her with any of my OCs, I don’t think. I ship her with a couple canon characters, but. Her tastes in men tend to run to older men who are Charming and Clever/sort of sideways thinkers and maybe just a little Devious, but generally good men underneath. Her tastes in women tend to run to women around her age who have vibrant/upbeat personalities and are a bit more straightforward in their approach to problems. ...not sure I’m explaining that right, but she definitely is attracted to different things in men than women. In all cases, though, she tends to be drawn to people who are more gregarious/extraverted/etc. than she is/complement certain aspects of her personality (she uh. Overthinks things. A Lot) OC Most Likely To Murder Them: ...hm, good question. I guess I’d say Druthi/Moonshot, except she’d be more likely to try and capture Lani alive. Favorite Movie/Book Genre: She doesn’t really read a lot for pleasure, more for Research Purposes--for example, to track trends or get a handle on how someone she’s trying to observe/manipulate thinks. But I think she’d like detective novels if she did. Make a game of trying to figure it out before the detective does. Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: Twist Endings for the sake of Twist Endings/Shock Twists that serve no other purpose than to be a Shocking Twist. That whole thing about not liking to be unprepared? If you hold back information to feel Clever that’s Cheating and Very Annoying and she Does Not Approve. Talents and/or Powers: She’s got a pretty good memory, and is very good at reading people and tailoring her approach to them based on what she observes and what she wants from them (at least, when it’s for Work, so to speak; she’s kind of terrible at people/making friends on her own). Also, she is a Force-adept, of course, though her training has been very carefully managed--she has not been taught to use a lightsaber and her telekinesis is minimal. In general, she tends to rely on more passive/observational abilities, supplemented by mundane manipulation and the occasional mind trick, rather than a lot of Active Force Use. I mentioned this in my last answer, about Padawan Reshti, but I have this general Concept about how a particular Force-adept’s abilities skew, with things generally grouped into three categories: manipulation/perception of space and/or the physical world; perception and/or manipulation of the minds and/or emotions of other beings; and perception and/or manipulation of time. Every Force-adept has at least some ability in all three categories, but most skew towards one or the other. By both training and inclination, Lani is heavily skewed towards minds/emotions; something like 10/80/10 or 15/75/10. Why Someone Might Love Them: Because she has a strong sense of Duty and is trying to survive in a pretty awful situation without losing all her mental autonomy and, for lack of a better word, humanity. Why Someone Might Hate Them: Again with the self-indulgent OCs, lol. Plus, she occupies a pretty central place in the story/as one of Luke’s closest friends in Precipice, and...well, we’ll see how people respond once her focus and priorities start to expand beyond her father and his expectations of her. How They Change: Without getting too spoilery...well, that sense of Duty I mentioned relates to the fact that she knows full well she was created to be a valuable tool in service of the government/galaxy/Empire. As she gets older and her priorities begin to expand as I mentioned in the last answer, her perspective on what that means starts to shift. Why You Love Them: Because she fits into A Lot of archetypes I love, lol. This kind of driven-by-duty, especially coupled with Politics and Spycraft as opposed to the more Action Girl type thing.

(ETA: I just remembered that a while ago--like...almost two years ago, lol--I filled out another meme about Lani. There are sort of...sideways/oblique/technical spoilers in that and it also talks about a bunch of AUs/spinoffs, but if you want more detailed information about her then you can check it out. ...and now I should probably stop editing this post for Clarification/additional details that you may not even see because it’s been...several hours since I first posted it...)

And a cointoss gave you Specter! So let’s talk about him.

Full Name: Darth Specter; I actually haven’t come up with his name prior to being recruited by Palpatine <.< Gender and Sexuality: Male; I honestly haven’t really thought much about him in a romantic/sexual relationship context? He strikes me as a disaster bi though. Pronouns: He/him. Ethnicity/Species: Togruta Birthplace and Birthdate: He grew up in either the Coruscant underbelly or a very similar slum district on another heavily urbanized planet. He was most likely born there. He’s about sixteen when Palpatine brings him in not long after RotS. Guilty Pleasures: He chooses not to feel guilty about his pleasures, lol. But, given his background and where he ended up, it’s probably something like candy/pastries--sweet food with an element of Luxury. Phobias: Not measuring up. What They Would Be Famous For: Being a Sith Lord/assassin. What They Would Get Arrested For: Theft and likely assault before being recruited; murder after. ...and probably also theft. OC You Ship Them With: None. OC Most Likely To Murder Them: Ooooh, good question. I mean, like...there are Many people who would probably murder him if they got the chance. But then there’s also a question of murder vs. death in combat, so...yeah, I’m not totally sure. Favorite Movie/Book Genre: Action movies. He’s kind of a cliche that way, lol. Least Favorite Movie/Book Cliche: ...you know, I don’t actually think he has one? But probably villains Wasting Time Monologuing. Talents and/or Powers: Stealth, theft, Violence. He skews slightly towards Physical on the scale I mentioned above, something along the lines of 50/35/15. Why Someone Might Love Them: He’s set up as a parallel to that particular blend of arrogance and low-self-esteem/Need for Validation that Anakin has, which can be either endearing or extremely frustrating. Why Someone Might Hate Them: See above XD How They Change: He...doesn’t really, sadly. He never gets a chance to grow out of this teenage intensity. :( He probably would’ve mellowed out some as he grew older, if he hadn’t died when he did. Why You Love Them: Because he is a clingy needy stabby Disaster with this earnest intensity and, like, I find it endearing, lol. 

Ask me about my OCs!

What are your favorite han/leia concepts/headcanons?

Headcanons I love include, but are not limited to, the following:

- Both of them are strenuously tidy people, but in totally different ways. For Leia, environment is a manifestation of her mental processing and is therefore painfully ordered. Han’s organization is rooted in utility: no one else can figure out why he puts things in certain places but he is adamant about the organization. People see disorder, but Han sees efficiency. - On that same vein, learning Han’s neuroses is part of the fun of building a life with him for Leia. It’s a challenge and like everything else about Han, Leia is fascinated “despise her better nature”.- She’s heard that line more than once and it always makes her laugh, because in some ways, Han is her better nature.  -  Both of them are restless by nature. Midnight work parties are not unusual.- Han and Leia don’t get married immediately and when they do it is a private ceremony on Kashyyyk with Luke and Chewie as witnesses. I’ve outlined my headcanon on their wedding before; suffice to say I like them to have a private moment a few years after Endor. I like for them to be allowed that peace.- I’ve settled into the idea that Leia doesn’t change her name in the same way I’ve settled into my headcanon that Han is pansexual. Took me a bit but I like the universe they live in a little better with those EU canon divergences.- I generally believe that Leia goes into politics, and I subscribe to the old Expanded Universe canon that she becomes Chief of State of the New Republic because Mon Mothma becomes incapacitated. That means that for a formidable time in her twenties and early thirties, Han and Leia do not have to go through a political campaign.- But once she completes Mon Mothma’s term, there is a family decision that she should run for office herself. There’s a dinner. Lots of alcohol is consumed. - And I fucking LOVE the idea of Han Solo navigating the celebrity afforded to the spouses of political candidates. Can you even imagine? He’d be hilariously petulant about the attention and quite the liability .... or so her political advisers say. - Leia is quick to inform her campaign team that she will not stifle or limit her husband’s voice. She loves him and knows that even as he wants to swagger around and somehow help her campaign by being a nuisance to every single high-minded idealist he meets, he mostly wants to just threaten everybody for talking shit about his amazing wife. 

- At some point, the campaign team decides Han’s public persona is not helping and suggests to Leia that he do a carefully prepared public schmaltzy interview. Leia says no, she will not put him in that position. This is her burden and Han hates the media. - Han finds out and does a very unprepared and wild interview with the most hard-hitting journalist out there because he is Han Solo and doesn’t do shit by halves, dammit. The interview asks all kinds of policy questions; Han has nothing truly illuminating to say except maybe about trade tariffs. - The interviewer switches tactics when he gets nowhere and tries to rile Han up by asking the question that drives him nuts: why Leia Organa? Why this life? Wouldn’t you be happier on your ship, running the lanes? Free? - When Leia sees this interview in her office (her adviser runs into the room and turns on her holo when the news comes in), she leans in carefully to hear his answer to the question, a small smile on her face. - You know, he says with a similar little smile, every bastard who told me what to do is either dead or wishing he was me. - The journalist leans in. The whole galaxy leans in.- Life I’m living isn’t perfect but it’s the life I want. And there ain’t a damn thing I want more than Leia Organa.- And just like that Leia’s campaign team shuts up about Han doing whatever the hell he wants. 

- I mean, I really just love the thought of him in a political campaign. - I could write a million fics on the subject.- But I’ll move on because not everyone is as amused by the idea as I am.- I generally love the idea of a chronically-besotted-and-completely-un-self-conscious-about-it Han Solo. He’s been around the block enough to hold on tight to the good parts of his life. And I think he is charming in that, that he makes Leia relatable to so many people. In the end, Leia’s created her own success. But Han’s general adoration of his wife sways some of the idiots who underestimate her.- I love three kids for them. I love Jacen, Jaina and Anakin. I love the idea that Han stays home with them while Leia is at work. I love the thought of Luke being an active member in his niece and nephew’s lives. I love the idea of family dinners, and silly little traditions (like watching Leia’s speeches when she has to travel when the kids are small). - Leia is no less enamored. She’s just more private about it. Her staff knows to expect her to occasionally duck out midday to visit him on the Falcon. They keep a bottle of his favorite whiskey for special occasions. They automatically let his calls into her office---even in extremely stressful situations---because they trust that he really does need to talk to her. Their relationship helps Leia in her deep drive to fix the galaxy, to keep her focus on the good in life so that she can fight the bad. It is a sweet and hilarious result of a new galaxy.- Mostly I just headcanon Han and Leia together, happy and content. The circumstances change all the time, but that always remains.
