#bomarmo is there

[mayhaps-a-blog]

Almost a year ago, I had an idea for a quick little two-shot - a before/after kind of fic. I started writing it, kept running out of steam on part 2 and starting over, and then had a great idea for a plot. Nearly a year later, here we are. The fic has nine chapters. This is the prologue - what was supposed to be part 1 of 2 just two darn it. Now it's a prologue. Enjoy!

Summary:

Trapped in the Unknown Regions, Thrawn and the Chimaera stumble upon a secret, one with the power to destroy their enemies – or themselves. Searching for an answer to her nightmares, Che’ri sets off across the stars, discovering long-forgotten mysteries of the Chiss sky-walkers – and that those mysteries were not lost, but stolen. Once more, their paths will cross, and the path of the galaxy will be changed forever.

Chissmas Day 9 ~ Snowman

Chiss chosen for the day: Borika & Bomarmo 💙

[girlfromanotherworld2001]

So according to the wiki, borika and bomarmo elope. I wonder if there was any drama with Irizi family.

Canon Character Design: Bomarmo

Bomarmo, Borika's husband, was first mentioned in Lesser Evil, the third of the Thrawn: Ascendancy novels. Little is known about him in canon, other than his status as a co-owner of the Ardok Ranch and membership in the Cohbo Family. In Recrimination, Bomarmo (whose full three-part name I have chosen to style as Cohbo'mar'mo) assists his wife with her directorship in the Sky-walker program, often acting as a "sanity check" against the barrages of political and military pressure.

The illustration below was created using @/makowka's Picrew, which can be found here.

[Image ID: An illustration made using Picrew. The subject is an older Chiss man, with wrinkled light blue skin and solid red eyes. His short dark hair is messily styled, and his short beard is slightly unkempt. He wears rounded glasses with a thin frame and has small scars across the bridge of his nose and on the right side of his lower jaw. His expression is kind, with a wide smile showing the gap in his teeth. He wears a tan sweater over a plain blue shirt, as well as a pendant necklace with a leather cord. The background is a yellow square with green-brown starburst patterns. End ID.]

“...we’re taken from our families very young...”

I was infodumping to my sister about chiss names today and I am now very interested in how chiss family names work in the context of marriage Let’s take Borika (Thrawn’s sister) for example; As far as we know, Borkia had four names during her life time, Kivu'rik'ardok (Vurika, in her first family), Rik’ardok (as a Skywalker), Irizi’rik’ardok (Zirika, in the Irizi), and last but not least, Cohbo’rik’ardok (Borika, after her marriage to Bomarmo) As we can see, Borika took her husband’s family name, Cohbo. The question is, why. There are a few possible answers that I thought about. The first one (and the one I think is most likely) is that as a non blood member of the Irizi family (which is one of the nine ruling families), Borika couldn’t have brought someone into the family, so she ‘had’ to join the Chobo family when she married Bomarmo. The second answer (that is a bit fanon) is that Borika just didn’t want to be a part of the Irizi family anymore, so she decided to join the Cohbo family. My last answer (and the most disappointing one if it’s the canon answer) is good ol’ patriarchy, and that as a woman, borika had to (according to societal standards) join the Cohbo family.  Also, is there divorce in the chiss ascendancy? And if so, what happens if you joined your partner’s family and you divorce them? Can a person be family-less if they aren’t part of the military (or a sky-walker)?

omg i just realized i never posted this on tumblr, but i came up with a design for borika’s lightsabers

the hilts are longer than on your typical jedi saber and the blades are shorter, since instead of using them like you might a normal lightsaber, she uses them like you would sticks for stick fighting

Gen Ascendancy sounded so fun, and I wanted to do something for it, but writing was really hard this week so this is pretty much all I've got. I have other ideas floating around, we'll see what happens.

First off, Bomarmo and Che'ri for birdwatching (kinda). (also "Cohbo'mar'molade" isn't mine, that idea is courtesy @/dinjoyer, I just moved the apostrophe)

Che’ri sat down under the tree with a thud. She didn’t want to explain everything to these people, she didn’t want to keep track of her sleep and her food and her nightmares and her everything. She wanted to be back on the Springhawk, she wanted to be back with the crew and back with Thrawn and back flying again.

She winced. But that had gotten them in trouble, so…

She looked out over the field. Same old field, same old packbulls, same same same. She let her head thunk back against the bark instead, and closed her eyes. Maybe she could at least get a nap in before Thalias or Borika came looking for her.

Less than five minutes later, she heard footsteps, and resisted the urge to groan. Not even five minutes? Really?

“I don’t think you’re supposed to be out here alone,” a voice said. Che’ri startled. That was a man’s voice, not Borika or Thalias. She shot to attention, blinking quickly to try and adjust her eyes to see in the bright sunlight.

A sturdy man was standing a few meters away, giving her an amused look. She sighed in relief. She’d seen Borika talking to him sometimes–at least he wasn’t a complete stranger. She’d be in so much trouble if she got seen by a stranger.

But she still didn’t know who he was.

“Who are you?”

He took a couple steps closer as he answered. “Cohbo’mar’molade. Bomarmo. It’s nice to meet you.”

She watched him suspiciously as he continued to approach, stopping just a few feet away. Cohbo. Borika was a Cohbo…

“I’ve seen you talking to Borika sometimes.”

He smiled. “I should hope so, she’s my wife.”

Che’ri blinked. W– Wife? Borika was married?

“…oh.”

He laughed. “That’s alright. She doesn’t exactly share much. I’m the farmer here, that’s where your cover story comes from. Borika helps occasionally, but I’m the one maintaining the farm.”

Ohhh. She… really should’ve figured that someone had to be keeping the packbulls and all the other farm things that made them not look suspicious. Thrawn would’ve noticed.

“Hey now, don’t worry about it. You’ve got much more important things to worry about.” He pulled a face. “And speaking of, what’s got you so wound? You seemed upset.”

Her eyes narrowed. She barely even knew him, he was just some guy–well, he was Borika’s husband… and he clearly knew about the project here if he was the cover story…

“I don’t want to be here.”

He gave her a sad smile, and she scowled.

“Don’t pity me! I’m not a child, I don’t need your–”

“Hey now, calm down. I’m not pitying you, I’m sympathizing. I’ve seen so many of you girls come here, and I know how hard it can be. Not to mention, I’d like to think I know Bo pretty well, and she went through the same things you did.”

Che’ri words died in her mouth at his interruption. She sighed.

He’s not the one I’m mad at…

“Alright, what do you like to do? Obviously I can’t take you off the property, but–”

Che’ri’s eyes widened. “Wait, you aren’t going to go get Borika or Thalias to bring me back??”

He chuckled quietly. “No. You deserve some time off, everyone does. Say, the Grand Migration is supposed to pass over soon–not all of it, Ool’s not on too many of the paths, but there should be a whole lot of guese flying overhead soon. What about you and me go up to the hill, and climb the tree there to watch?”

She stared at him. He… She’d met him not 5 minutes ago, hadn’t even introduced herself, was breaking the rules, and he wanted… to take her birdwatching?

Also, birdwatching?

She made a face, and he laughed. “I know, it’s not the most exciting activity. But these aren’t normal guese, they’re rare. All sorts of fun colours, and there’s sure to be a lot of them. We’ve lived here for years now, and I’ve always loved watching them fly overhead like some kind of rippling river of an abstract painting.”

Painting.

“………okay.”

He grinned, and she couldn’t help but think how she’d barely ever seen a grin like that before. Especially not on an adult, or an adult man. Samakro certainly didn’t grin, and Thrawn barely even smiled. Samakro also didn’t smile much, but that was usually ‘cause he was grumpy.

He offered her a hand up, and tentatively, she took it.

As they started to walk off toward the hill, she fiddled with the edge of her sleeve. “I…” He glanced at her. “I’m Che’ri.”

He smiled again.

“Nice to meet you, Che’ri.”

One of these days I’m going to make a definitive list of all of my glup shittos in order by screen/page time.

Bomarmo will take the number one spot for least actual appearances 😂

[merry-chissmas]

I seldom see much Thalimakro, but it’s a sweet and welcome treat!

Context: After Thrawn's death, Ezra joins Borika and her legions to rebel against the Ascendancy.

[dinjoyer]

Borika and Bomarmo!

(Ignore now terrible the background is just don’t look at it look at them-)

[milfglupshitto]

in my ideal rebels sequel Borika crafts a kickass lightsaber with a red blade and shows it off and everyone who has any knowledge of the sith is freaking out but Bomarmo’s in the corner like “omg babe it’s so pretty you did such a good job!!!! it matches your eyes 🥰🥰🥰”

Canon Character Design: Borika

Cohbo'rik'ardok first appeared in Lesser Evil, the third of the Thrawn: Ascendancy novels, but she was mentioned first in Chaos Rising. With her husband Bomarmo, she co-owns the Ardok Ranch, one of the training locations for the Sky-walker program. As a former Sky-walker herself, Borika has almost no memories of her early childhood, including her younger brother, the officer who would come to be known as Thrawn. In Recrimination, Borika's work to protect her charges continues, although it is increasingly complicated by the awakening of powers she has long suppressed.

The illustration below was created using @/makowka's Picrew, which can be found here.

[Image ID: An illustration made using Picrew. The subject is an older Chiss woman, with wrinkled light blue skin and solid red eyes.

The background is a black square with slate-grey starburst patterns. End ID.]

[furiosophie]

Some nights she catches her reflection in the viewport, red eyes staring back at herself like glowing embers and wonders why she’s never met another sky-walker outside the program, if it would be easier if she were to walk away from it all, fade into obscurity.

But then, in the end, what she always arrives back at is this – she doesn't know what else to do with herself, then to keep traveling the Chaos, then to keep looking, to keep hoping to find the parts she lost between the stars, to make it give her back what it took in its wake.

Thrawn learns about the life his sister lead without him.
