More about your last post I wanna know on how everyone reacts to eachother like imagine your friend finally is out of a pain cult that you had to sit around and watch as it literally ruins them but they had to be sacrifice and your local hero’s had to step to help them and then all of sudden when you go to the hospital you see TIM DRAKE straggling to fill out the most simplest questions
“TIM DRAKE!?! WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE???”
“…what’s his blood type?”
AKSDHJSKAHDHAS I FUCKING LOVE TALKING ABOUT MY FICS
okay so! some background information, it is my personal hc that bear fell into the cult, senior year of high school. so when tim rescues, he's been in there for like 5 years. it just doesn't make sense to me otherwise? like they chose him for the sacrifice. it wasn't like "oh he's convenient. might as well use him." they specifically interrupted his date-but-not-really-a-date with tim to get to him. like they thought he would be a worthy sacrifice to bring down the attention of dionysus. like he had to have been their most devoted member or something.
the gang meets him in their freshman year of college where mori, jam, and bear all end up getting an apartment together bc the landlord leased it out to three different people and they all responded. dija and chinna are their next door neighbors. anyway, they all become friends bc they all go to gotham u together.
i think mori and jam always knew there was smth wrong with bear. he's always kinda lost in his head, he disappears at odd hours of the day, when he talks to you he never directly stares at you but to the side of you like there's someone there. and as they grow closer, obviously the truth comes out near the end of freshman year.
and as college goes on, everyone learns his backstory and his sordid history with tim. needless to say, bear is like your dad who drops absolutely horrifying Dad Lore at random times and the gang is left to red-string-cork-board it together. they could be at a cafe near uni and bear randomly would be like "i tried to give my dead best friend chest compressions for like 30 minutes bc i refused to believe she was dead." cue the gang going, ".... do you, maybe, wanna unpack that?" / "no." / "oh. ok"
background info out of the way, the gang despises tim drake. how could they not? when they see the way bear has deteriorated after junior year? when they stumble across a photo of the grieves trio and wonder where that bright smile of bear's had gone? how could they not, when all of them have had to talk bear out of a hallucination? how could they not when bear comes back each night with more and more scars? when they've all walked in on him bleeding out? when all bear talks about is being chosen? when it's starting to look like this cult is going to take their friend from them?
and then, 4 years after they met bear, they get a call from hospital telling them that their brother is in the icu. and when they finally arrive at the hospital, tim drake is sitting in the waiting room, struggling to fill out basic information about his so-called "best friend".
fuck tim drake.

Disney villain confessions:
Fave Disney villain and why: look it's really really hard to choose. But if i had to. Judge claude frollo. Simply because let's be honest. We will NEVER get a villain like that ever again. Dark,real,raw,and complex af. He's not enjoying being a villain let alone thinking he is one. One could argue he is a victim of the very faith he claims. Ah yes. That guilt be thicc boiz! But anyways,i feel he deserves the top spot because solely of the simplicity in the character and the fact he is ironically the most human in his downfall,his motives,his anger. And that my dears is what is terrifying.
The most closest to him in my fave list is hades but that's because he is the closest to his actual mythos counterpart. Chill,funny,just wants to do his job and everyone is making that a problem for some reason. Because some douchebag son of zuse wanted to show off and be a heroic epic. Thats it. The grand scheme of disneys Hercules is funny af if you really think about it. And meg,honey,he's cute and nice and all that but really?! But it's funny more so because greek mythos is kinda ridiculous too. But ya know.
Oh and captain hook. But more so the character in the movie hook. So damn good. R.i.p robin williams. I love you and miss you so much. He was like a childhood friend to me and i cried when i heard of his passing. Plz in all seriousness,check on your loved ones. Advocate for better mental health care. But back to disneys hook in peter pan. He was fun. Just plain fun to me. It was the feeling on playing on a playground,and that was the point. Tho it could get twisted and dark real quick. Oof. But as for overall. He's fun. I think he's neat and charming.
Scar. Oh my god,Jeremy irons. Legit blew his voice out for this character. Great villain. 10 outta 10.
All the lady Disney villains absolutely kill it but we already knew. Cept mother gothel to me. I feel she's redundant. Cool character,fun. But overall redundant in the grand scheme of things. At least compared to other villains,motives and overall vibe. *shrug* i dont hate her. I just feel she's pointless. Dont hate me plz.
But sadly as all the villains are great. Frollo is my top one.
Now onto my least favorite disney villain:
Gaston. Yeah. I mean he served his purpose. His role. But he's the least appealing of the classic villains. As for any new villains? Nah none of them are as appealing as the classics. They are golden years and renaissance for a reason. you just dont see any oomf to disney villains anymore. Hans is a close 2nd. It's legit just gaston but "pretty" and frozen and motives are weak. Gaston is at least upfront. We know what he's about. But overall I'd punt him into the sun. Hell i feel a lot of Disney villains would find this guy obnoxious and eff him up on spot. I feel it would even make frollo,the most repressed man alive,pissed off and defending belle from this douche. Frollo ffs. Just saying in hypothetical. Look it's no shade to gaston stans and enjoyer. He's a great villain. But he's the least appealing because to me,he's slightly boring but he serves his purpose so i can't hate 100% either. But hans? Nah nobody likes him. Nobody i know.
Again these are just my opinions. No shade to any Disney villain truly. But i neeeeeed oomf,that spice,that charisma,that je ne sais quoi so to speak. I need tragedy,comedy,and either a simple to follow motive or something so complex and straightforward it's believable. Which comes to my point. MAKE THE BULLSHIT BELIEVABLE!!!
Which is why we dont see many disney villains that are appealing anymore.
Now onto fave Disney villains songs.
Omg too many!
Helfire still ranks as my most fave a chilling song.
Poor unfortunate souls. Hell yeah Ursula my girl killed that! Love you sweetheart.
Be prepared. Once again. Jeremy irons rules.
I got friends on the other side. Princess and the frog. Underrated af. And that song is catchy and i love jazz. Lousiana. And this soul that is put into this song? Absolutely delicious.
Overall. I absolutely love Disney villains. And honestly. I loved them more than the princesses. Sorry. But definitely more than most disney princes. Until naveen,i didn't care for any of em really. Maybe beast but more so as beast so it doesn't count. And yes,some that aren't "official" princesses,i count as princesses. Because they are to me. And disney can suck it for that. But yeah naveen was fun,simple,cute,and he actually got character development in the movie. Pretty sweet. The only disney prince i felt earned his princess. That's the gospel truth. Hee hee.
Ok anyways im done ranting and raving about Disney villains.

I love the jedi but enjoy the sith, mostly vader,new republic sith and old republic sith, do yoi have a lost of your favorite star wars villains.
In order, Dooku, Thrawn, Palpatine, Vader, OT-era Tarkin, Maul - and TCW!Hondo right after Dooku if that counts.
Pretty vanilla lmao. I like the Son as a concept but he's really not hardcore enough to really embody what he's supposed to represent. (There's not enough of the slimy slithering madness and viciousness that makes the Sith do stuff like sacrifice Jedi on altars and do blood magic rituals, among other things.) He's too tame for something supposedly worse than the Sith, though he'd be horrifying if he'd been more Dark-Side-y.
So, Dooku, because he's a disaster and a mirror to Anakin's garbage and because there's a lot of genuinely interesting things about a character who was among the wisest and noblest and who knows what the darkness is and willing embraces it anyway. he's Star Wars' Saruman and I love Saruman. It certainly helped that he was played by Sir Christopher Lee. The man was just that good.
Thrawn, because of the smooth, calm demeanor - much like Dooku's. That scene where he slowly explains what a kalikori is without revealing right away who is Hera, toying with us with his incredible score in the background, gave me shivers the first 4-5 times I watched it. I love sophisticated and collected villains. Brutish villains feel too simplistic and not nearly as frightening. I also love Star Wars aliens.
Palpatine because he's a delight to hate. He has no redeeming qualities whatsoever - he's just absolute selfishness embodied and that makes if very fun. Also love the 'frail' old man whose power is in his insidiousness. I love how maniacally happy about his plans he always is and I love to think of how completely bored he must have been during the Empire days, before Luke showed up and gave him something to plot about. Sure I wish the Zillo beast could have flattened him to a Sheev pancake - or that Dooku would have just punted him into the sun before Naboo, but hey, at least he got thrown down a reactor and exploded twice and was never ever heard of again, right?
Vader because he's a powerhouse and that's always impressive. James Earl Jones' voice was always magnificent as well and there's something so expressive about faceless characters.
OT Tarkin because- smooth, calm and collected old villain. I really have a type ah ah. There's something so maddening about that complete confidence that they're right, that end-justify-the-means mentality they confuse for wisdom, that dismissive way they see the hot blooded righteous heroes as so beneath them...
Maul mostly for the times he goes completely crazy and either turns into a spider or a Temple-dwelling Sith cockroach and runs around painting Kenobi on the walls with his blood. I love his arc with Obi-Wan, I love what it says about the light and the Dark, the Jedi and the Sith, and the Florrum and Twin Suns duels are my favorite ever.
Finally, Hondo... Well, is Hondo. Much smarter, much more ruthless, and much saner than people give him credit for - just spectacularly greedy and ballsy. I wouldn't call him a villain so much as the true example of what a 'morally gray' character is. It's not good guys in impossible situations like Mace, it's not complex villains like Dooku, it's not the image people have of a tortured prince of darkness that deep down feels really sad about all the murder he's doing and it's not the selfless hero who angsts about quickly killing a monster that one time - it's Hondo.
I'm generally pretty indifferent to Ventress, Jango, Boba, bounty hunters like Cad Bane, the Hutts, villains of an episode, or more minor villains and/or reformed antagonists like Bo-Katan, Kallus, etc - as characters anyway. I might like them when they're onscreen or like their place in the story but they don't do much for me individually beyond that.
And a special mention goes to Miraj Scintel - the Zygerrian Queen and only Star Wars villain I truly and deeply loathe. I hate seeing her onscreen, I hate hearing her talk, I hate watching her move, I hate her aspirations, I just detest her. Everything about her is infuriating.

My rant on why SMP!Dream’s deaths were quite f___ed up by Tiy
This is about the DreamSMP’s current events. Please know that I am currently showing my Dream apologist state out of my everyone apologist personality, so take this with a grain of salt. I do not mean to bash any character here, but sorry if it comes out that way. I am merely criticizing how they acted on Dream’s deaths. So, you remember how Dream got killed twice? Yeah. I feel like the way that it happened was kinda fucked up, even for DreamSMP standards. So, yes, you can ask me why. You can say that it was deserved, or that it was the heat of the moment, but it still gives them no right to have done it like that. Even for Tommy, who probably deserved the chance to kill Dream the most, was that such a low to stoop. Now, let’s see the circumstances of Tommy’s and Dream’s death. Tommy died twice, both with fair circumstances. He died once to being killed in the Final Control Room, then another to a fair bow duel, with both Tommy and Dream unarmoured and at half a heart. Dream never, and I mean never, killed Tommy when he had a very unfair advantage. Dream, on the other hand, died twice with the same, brutal circumstances. He was killed in front of most of the SMP members, unarmed each time, with almost a zero chance of being able to get himself out of the situation, and for the most part dehumanized, with the only reason he was even spared what could possibly be his last life was the value he holds when still alive. Not because of any morals, for the most part, but because of the simple fact that he knew how to resurrect Wilbur. He even had to beg for people to listen to him at all. You can go back to the stream if you want to know if Dream was begging. I am sure that he did, but it might be hard over all the talking. If you manage to hear it, you can hear how desperate it sounds. Take it as you will, but he had to beg for them to not kill him again, saying that he’d be good and that it was enough punishment. That was what I hear, but it may vary per person on what he said. As I said, even if it was deserved or in the heat of the moment, there was no reason for it to have been so unfair. They could have just killed Dream when there were less people and give the man a bit more dignity. That, in terms of everything that happened, was a very, very low moral stoop. Even Schlatt was on a higher moral when he ordered Tubbo to be executed. He only did it once, and didn’t even say anything about taking another life. This sort of makes it on a lower moral scale than Schlatt’s. If you say that ‘Tubbo was about to be killed unfairly too, though!’, then consider the fact that he at least had some space to speak. Again, the only reason I think Dream is not dead currently is because he begged for them to not kill him, to listen to him and they found how valuable he was when alive, not the fact that they wanted to spare him. Tell me, right now, that they wouldn’t have killed him on, what possibly would and could be and they assumed were, his last life, even if he didn’t tell them about the resurrection ability. I am very sure that, with how they acted after Dream told them about it, they definitely would have. Nobody, and I mean nobody, not even Schlatt, Wilbur or even Dream, deserves to have their last life taken, especially like that. It’s bad enough that we have 2 characters dead, without any sort of possible redemption arc to have made  This, I think, goes on to be one of the most morally fucked up deaths that have ever happened, even with Tubbo’s execution. I don’t really care who you’re an apologist for, and I don’t care if you support Dream’s deaths, but, again, even with how much you think he deserved it, you can not excuse or justify fully the dehumanization that was happening, how low they morally stooped, and how fucked up in more ways than one it was. Yes, Tommy may have died to Dream’s hands twice or only once, but there was never a time where the cards were played very unfairly. Everyone in the place of execution have some blame on them. It was fucked up either way you look at it. Nobody should be perma-killed without at least a chance of redemption, and I personally believe that if the circumstances had been slightly different, there would be a big possibility that Dream might have perma-died in the chamber. I’m sure that, had Wilbur and Schlatt been given a last chance at redemption, they could have stayed and become better people. Am I sympathizing for Dream’s character and the way he died? Yes, as this is my interpretation of being an apologist. Am I condoning or justifying his actions? No, a lot of them were unreasonable, but some of his more earlier ones are more understandable. Am I bashing the other characters? No, but I am criticizing their poor choice of morals when it came to killing anyone, as it was arguably more fucked up than Dream’s standards when killing someone canonically. Are your opinions valid? Yes, as long as you’re not toxic about it. I just don’t like when people absolutely bash a character when their character has also been or are also in the wrong, even more so when they become toxic and hateful because of it. Anyways, share this if you must with other people. I just wanted to vent my frustrations because nearly nobody was saying how fucked up the morals were at that time. I saw a tweet with the same idea, and I whole-heartedly agree with the fact that the deaths were fucked up.  - Tiy (One of the few people who use this account) (Also, if any mf uses your deadname or wrong pronouns on purpose, I will pull a Phil-on-Jack-Manifold-talking-about-beans and punt them straight into the fucking sun-)

BNHA rambles (part 18)
Here comes episode 9, which is one I’ve been waiting for:
-Uraraka ! Uraraka !Uraraka !
-She’s so nervous but she’s ready to be the best she can be
-Ouch! That was violent
- I first thought that Jirou’s covering her ears as a reaction of the attack was bc she was scared but then I remembered she has enhanced hearing. Bakugo’s quirk must be a nightmare for her
-I know Tsuyu is a girl too so I won’t say anything about her saying it, but as it is something that’s repeated in the episode, I hate that they want Bakugo to go easy on Uraraka bc she’s a girl. Should Bakugo learn some self-control? Yes absolutely. His attack are most of the time (for now at least) way too destructive in general, and he should learn to lessen that. Should he hold back bc Uraraka’s a girl? No. She chose to be here, she chose (and reaffirm her wants) to figth. Bakugo giving less than his best would be an insult towards her
-Uraraka fight really smart, but she lack the training and the speed she needs to pull it of
-Maybe I should count the number of time I want to punt Mineta into the sun, make it a work out? It would be really efficient
-Okay, I agree that it hurt to watch, but booing Bakugo is really fucking hurtful and so fuck those guys. I mean yes the boy is violent, but you don’t boo him like that on an important fight. (+ it’s also really demeaning for Uraraka too)
-Dadzawa to the rescue! And tearing into the man (as well as elbowing Mic for agreeing) and defending BOTH of his students. He knows them, knows what they can do, and won’t let anyone disrespect them.
-Monoma! Had! Noticed! Her! Plan! (+ acknowledging it’s a smart strategy)
-Okay but that amount of rubbles floating is really impressive
-Aizawa had noticed too!
-Bakugo’s hurt himself while exploding that
-Izuku is Uraraka symbol of victory, and I love it
-She’s so exhausted it hurt
-Once again how does no one realize how terrified Izuku is of Bakugo? (I know no one saw this specific interaction but still). Also, him standing up to his bully when it comes to his friends give me life
-I hate that they call Bakugo’s actions as him ‘playing the villain’
-and calling Uraraka a ‘frail girl’. She. Is. Not! And she could kick your ass no pb
-Uraraka faking being okay hurt more than her showing she’s upset
-Tetsutetsu and Kirishima manly bromance
-Uraraka, my girl, my queen, please, you did so good! Don’t concentrate on the negative please
-Supportive dad! I love it. My poor girl, it’s going to be okay
-What is it with those kids and beating themselves down
-Once again, and all together: fuck Endeavor
-Go Izuku! He’s ready to destroy that man whole carrier!
-OMG Uraraka’s face XD
-Once again the villain are watching the Sport festival… (+AFO being creepy)
-Inko having used so many tissue already (she’s so not ready for what happens next)
This episode was so good I loved it! I’m going to post a special rambles going more in depth on my thought of the fight (I’ll probably do the same for Izuku vs Shoto and Shoto vs Bakugo) . I’m so excited for the next episode!
Anyway, like every times questions and suggestion for rambles as well as other are more than welcome in my inbox
Aya’s out

Passing- Chapter 4
<-Previous The Study Date
Barriss snickered as Ahsoka’s head jerked up, head swiveling in an almost unnaturally smooth way to follow whatever small animal had distracted her. “Lunch?”
“Nah, not big enough.” Ahsoka declared much louder than necessary, with a grin saying she was hoping someone would hear it.
Rolling her eyes Barriss highlighted her last set of notations.
For all the little distractions they’d had, Ahsoka’s suggestion to study in the Kelto Public Gardens had been a good one. They’d found a little spot tucked away from the noise of various crowds and out of hitting range from a rather rambunctious group of mandos playing some variation of bolo ball. The various birds calling to one another, soft laughter, and warm sun was transporting. Closing her eyes Barriss could picture them far away from Coruscant, perhaps somewhere like the Aldera Mountains. Not a bad choice, a little cold but that would be a great excuse to get comfortable in front of a fire. Not that they would be cuddling, because they weren’t dating and this wasn’t a date.
Her eyes snapped back open to glare at her pad. It just figured that her own mind would be the thing stopping her from enjoying a pleasant afternoon with her Actually Just a Friend.
They had been fake dating for all of three rotations and Barriss was pretty sure she was going to hate her entire existence after the holidays. Afterall, the charade had to end at some point and no matter when it happened her mother would be worried and it was very likely that their relationship would be strained as Barriss wouldn’t want to talk about it, and hopefully Ahsoka wouldn’t treat her differently because frankly Barriss relied on their quiet camaraderie to survive when campus was a seething swarm of sights and sounds. What if she had to find another roommate because she ruined her friendship by playing at romance when clearly Ahsoka had so many better options and furthermore-
Ahsoka’s orange hand plucked Barriss’s datapad right out of her lap.
“Listen pal,” Ahsoka said sternly while baring her teeth at the small electronic device, “don’t be mean to my friend. She’s a nice lady and if you wanna mess with her you’re messing with me!”
Barriss, to her eternal embarrassment, snorted.
Ahsoka laughed, but clearly was doing her best to stay in character no matter how terrible a job she was doing at it, “That’s right, you better fart in fear!”
“You’re disgusting.” Barriss covered her face even as she laughed. “We are adults, not toddlers!”
“Speak for yourself!” Ahsoka happily chripped, while tucking Barriss’s datapad into her oversized cargo pocket. As always, she did absolutely nothing when Barriss glared at her.
“I need that back.”
Ahsoka’s head tilted to the side before she declared, “Nah. You were glaring silently at it for, like, five minutes. Breaktime.”
Just like that, Ahsoka leaned backwards onto her hands with one arm going slightly behind Barriss. Like an almost half hug. A very much in her personal bubble half hug. Barriss quickly reciprocated with a slight frown. See how much she likes it!
Ahsoka flashed the most amazing little contented half smiled down at her, and Barriss was pretty sure she was sweating. Oops. She’d committed herself to this though and she couldn’t really just back out now right?
Right.
We’re basically cuddling. It was a nice thought. Even if it was short lived. While she was half staring at Ahsoka’s arm, because honestly where did all these muscles even come from, which is not staring by the way, Barriss would refuse the meer notion that perhaps she was ogling- a bolo ball bounced, spun, and in near slow motion flew within centimeters of her head. Of course it had flow close enough that Barriss had lurched aside to dodge it and found herself half sprawled over Ahsoka’s lap. A distinct benefit was the way Ahsoka reflexively wrapped an arm over her, and hunched over to ask, “Are you alright?”
“Oh yes. Thanks.” Barriss was pretty sure she squeaked. Wow Ahsoka had some very pretty eyes.
“Sorry! We were-ALL THE GODS I’M RICH!”
Barriss half jumped again, twisting to stare up at a group of laughing young men. All staring at them. It was like a bucket of ice water. It was like being punted directly into space.
“Kriff off Hardcase!” Ahsoka growled. Barriss crumpled in on herself and focused on the vibrations in Ahsoka’s chest. Her gaze narrowing down to the blue stripes on her lekku, they’d started splitting apart over the last half year. She was just going to focus on Ahsoka. It didn’t block out the sounds of the men slapping and shoving one another.
“Like hell I, wait, you alright?”
“We’re leaving now, sorry, enjoy your afternoon.”
“I’d like the details later?”
“Shut up Jesse!”
“I said we’re leaving.”
There was a round of affirmatives and the sound of feet running off. Barriss still got the sense that one of them was there. When he crouched down she hunched in further.
“Thanks Rex.” Ahsoka spoke in a near whisper before looking down at her.
Barriss flushed realizing that she’d just frozen up like a child and stiffly sat up. Rex was a shirtless man with close cropped blond hair and a dusting of facial hair that she hoped wasn’t meant to be a beard. Rex leaned back, squatting on his heels with a depth of worry in his face she hadn’t expected. Even if she was still shaken, Barriss appreciated the distance he left between them.
“Rex, this is Barriss, Barriss this is Rex. He’s one of my best friends from high school.”
“Ma’am.” Rex nodded seriously, a small smile finally twitching at the corner of his mouth. “It’s nice to finally meet you, just sorry it had to happen this way. Say the word and I’ll thump Hardcase if you’d like.”
It took more effort than she’d expected to pull the words out to respond. “No. Thank you.”
“Alright. Hopefully we can meet up some other, far more pleasant time in the future.” Rex stood up fluidly while his smile bloomed warm and sincere. “And seriously, congratulations you two.”
“Rex,” Ahsoka hissed with apparently no noticeable effect before whipping around to look at Barriss. “Ignore the lot of them. They are always trying to-anyways, older siblings you know? Assholes. Not Rex. Usually. Uhm, I mean- are you alright?”
Barriss gave a small shrug before realizing she’d been picking at a loose thread in her skirt. How long had that been going on? Her mother gave her this skirt for her eighteenth birthday. She was supposed to take care of it. Her heart, somehow, sunk further.
“Ok. Hey, let’s head home this has been a bit too much for me to keep studying; yeah? Easily...distracted!” Ahsoka quickly gathered up her scattered possession and slung her bag over one shoulder.
“Alright.” Barriss stood up, one hand trying to smooth out the thread. She’d need to cut that and check for damage. She liked this skirt. Glancing half up she saw Ahsoka’s arm held out in invitation and took it, before realizing Ahsoka had just been adjusting her bag.
Before she could pull her hand back, Ahsoka had smiled and moved a little closer so they could walk arm in arm. They walked slowly, taking a different path out than in and only stopping every single time Ahsoka saw someone’s pet. She cooed over every anooba, massif, tooka, and even one anura that was sitting very obediently on it’s owner’s head. At each little pause Ahsoka gave a happy little trill and would excitedly point out her favorite thing about them.
“Look at his spots. Great spots!”
“New antlers are the fuzziest best ones.”
“Barriss, it’s so tiny. I love tiny things? Look at it’s little nose!”
“A good smart girl.”
“He’s so big, I love him.”
“Can we steal her? Seriously, look at that tail. Fluffy tail Barriss!”
“Twelve out of ten would watch him biff it again.”
It was ridiculous, not only because Barriss was forced to shoot down ever single request to get a pet for the dorm (it said right in the housing contract they couldn’t have pets, honestly!) but because she was walking with a nearly six foot tall, muscle bound hunting god whose voice had gone up a clear octave in joy. Barriss chuckled as some sort of avian with a long tail swooped over head and Ahsoka gasped in delight.
“Barriss. Forget the rest of them. That’s the one. I need one. Barriss. She’s a perfect bird, a raptor with so much fluff. We should get one of those.” Ahsoka whispered as if someone else was going to try and steal the clearly wild bird away. “A good round girl.”
“We can’t have a pet!” Barriss huffed out a small laugh. “Besides I already have one large, squawking predator two is just excessive.”
“Hey!” Ahsoka squawked even through her giant grin.
It took hours before Barriss realized she’d never heard Ahsoka talk about pets or animals at all before. She spent the evening distracted by the heartening thought that it had been done for her benefit.
It took exactly seventeen minutes for Barriss to find out what kind of bird it had been and purchase a small toy version on the holonet. Ahsoka’s birthday was coming up after all.
