Casual Commander Pod Tip!

If you find yourself becoming the target of one player's removal more often than you feel is reasonable, gently bring that up with said player.

If the behavior persists, remember the Golden Rule: No Commander is better than Bad Commander. You can't stop them from playing those cards, but you can stop playing with them and look for other play groups.

Fox being such a private person would probably not tell anyone that he is dating someone, especially because he is dating such high-society people (because first it's new and then he is afraid of what will happen if someone knows-). His batchers are like "Fox you work too much, you need to find yourself a nice lady. or a man. Either way is fine."

Fox keeps declining this because he has found a nice lady and a man, actually, thank you very much. But he isn't going to tell them because he can't guarantee that someone else isn't going to hear it from them (not that Fox doesn't trust his brothers, but they deal with the Jedi and the Sith all the time and are in danger of getting their thoughts read or something, Fox is not really sure how it works and he is not willing to risk it). His excuse for declining? He has work. He is going through some reports. He has to be in the Senate. He has an important meeting.

Sometimes he really does, but other times when he says that he "has to be in the Senate" it means that he is actually in Bail's office. Or when he says that he has "an important meeting" he is actually on a call with Breha.

Then the war ends and Bail and Breha are asking him to move in with them, and Fox finally tells his brothers that he is seeing someone.

By telling them that he is moving in with them.

And his batchers are a bit worried because wow, Fox, aren't you moving a little fast? You know, you don't have to move in with them, there are other options too now that the army is disbanded, it's okay, we'll figure out something-

Only for Fox to go no, actually, we've been together for over two years now. They asked me to marry them last week. I said yes.

Then he just sits there when everything turns to chaos, and he is debating if it's a good idea to tell them who it is. It might actually be too much. They might actually explode.

I've been doing a lot of reflection as of late, especially after this past class.

This past class was about the Torah and Tanakh in general, and the way the rabbi talked about the commandments (specifically the ten commandments) has made me really reflect on how I interpret them, specifically the fifth commandment, or honoring your mother and father.

This is a commandment I have wrestled with for a long time - in fact, it brought me away from g-d at multiple times. I was severely abused when I was incredibly young by my mother, and I used to feel insulted at the implication that I were to honor her while she got to live a better life. It was hypocritical, in my eyes.

But this rabbi surmised that this particular commandment was because parenthood is an act of creation, something that is like the g-d from which we come from. My realization is this: I don't think we're necessarily meant to take even these commandments literally.

I this particular commandment is more of a call to honor creation - creation is a gift, and like any gift, many people simply will not like it and will discard it. The person who abused me created me, but she did not honor creation. She didn't honor me, but I can still honor it.

I have started to honor creation much more. I'm too young, too unstable, not mature enough to be a father (though I fantasize about it), but I create all the time. I create relationships, I create with my hands through crochet. I create memories, I create my world. And I can honor who I am and where I came from that made me who I am. I've been learning one of the mother tongues of my family (Italian, since part of my family originates there) and it was judaism that inspired me to do this.

I don't think g-d wants me to honor my abuser. I think He wants me to remember the Holy action of creation. When I am a father, that act of creation will be Holy, and indeed, I am already joyful about the thought.

I have seen many people struggle with this particular commandment, but I think this perspective helps me personally. I don't think I ever have to forgive my abusers (plural), and I don't think I am commanded to simply because they happened to be family. I am commanded to recognize the holy, to elevate the mundane. In doing so, I will remember g-d. Through creation, I honor g-d and everything he has done for us, for me, and for our collective people.

Cody: You lied about being fucked up and evil? Sith!Obi-Wan: I actually believe in love, hope, and kindness. I try every day to be a little better than I was yesterday Cody:... Sith!Obi-Wan:...Now I'm off to kill Chancellor Palpatine!

[secretly-a-trekkie]

imo I don't think Fox wouldn't sleep I think he'd sleep but just in the worst possible places

[darthmalewife]

Cody gets hit on constantly while on missions, all of them do but Cody is always on the receiving end and people assume Obi-Wan is at least a little jealous but he's having the time of his fucking life watching Cody try to throw off all of his valiant suitors

Definitely True Facts About Commander Vertex #1

He repels ghosts.

The fourth bed in the Guard commanders' bunkroom was haunted. 

Thorn scoffed at the idea, and Stone hummed with tolerant indulgence when it was brought up, but Thire knew they both agreed.

There was something unsettling about it: it was all neat lines and tucked corners and entirely devoid of life. And while that made sense--no one had ever used it--it still gave off a feeling of emptiness, like there was supposed to be someone or something there when there wasn't.

Thorn had tried sleeping in it just to prove Thire wrong, but he'd only managed a few nights before copping out and saying he just didn't like the bed, even though they were all the same standard-issue bunks. The fourth bed might even be nicer than the others; the mattress and pillows were still a little fluffy from having not been slept on.

Stone never tried, but Stone had a relationship with his own bed that bordered on worshipful; he was known to threaten violence toward people who even dared to try to sit on it. There was no way he would sleep on a bed that wasn't his.

Thire, of course, was too smart to even go near the fourth bunk.

But that was difficult, because the bed was the closest to the door--making it doubly cursed--and any time Thire walked too close he felt like he was about to be smacked by some ghostly hand for the presumption. Whatever was haunting it demanded peace and quiet, and even Thorn and Stone seemed to subconsciously try not to jostle the bed while passing by. 

They didn't have to believe in the curse for it to be true.

Thire was just about to fall asleep--they were allotted a whole eight hours now! just for sleeping!--when the door to the bunkroom opened. He squinted peevishly at Thorn, who flipped on the lights, and squinted slightly-less-peevishly at Commander Vertex, who followed him in. 

"Why," Thire moaned.

"You weren't even asleep yet," Thorn said without an ounce of sympathy. He turned to Vertex. "We have an extra bunk in here if you want, but we're allowed to stay in the GAR barracks now if you want somewhere cushier."

Vertex shrugged easily.

"I don't mind. Less of a commute from here."

He turned to the sole empty bed--the haunted empty bed--and Thire sat up sharply in alarm, opening his mouth to warn him--

Thorn ruthlessly shoved his face back down into the mattress.

"If you say anything about the stupid ghost," he hissed, "I am going to smother you with a pillow."

Thire's complaints were muffled into the bedding, and he could only watch, helpless, as Vertex dropped his bag on the bunk and sat down next to it.

And the bed...went back to being a bed. Nothing out of the ordinary, no sense of something missing; no gaping emptiness that seemed to permeate that corner of the room. The wrongness was just gone, chased away by Commander Vertex simply from him being there. 

Thire smacked Thorn in the head a few times until he let go, and shoved him away so he could sit up and gape as Vertex started unpacking his belongings. Even when someone just sat on the bed in the past, it still felt like they were doing something illicit, like they didn't belong.

Vertex fit in the space like it was made for him.

Vertex fit in the space like he had just made it his own.

Vertex could repel ghosts without even trying.

They never had to worry about the haunted bed again.

"The curse is lifted," Thire breathed reverently.

Next to him, Thorn growled and lunged for a pillow.
