Ozyly-esehembos Vah'nya

My take on how Vah'nya looks like

Also I conversed with my bestie (@smolnip) and she chose a song to represent Vah'nya because of her interest in music

sometimes i see a star wars take so divorced from the actual franchise that i become pro-gatekeeping for 37 seconds

[geekwithajeep]

it’s a little late in the day (relax, both my friend and i work Actual Adult Jobs) but a good friend and i decided to do inktober together this year, creating a fic for each day surrounding our original characters, most of which are chiss!

we’re posting it all in one large work, with each day as a chapter. i hope you’ll join us on this grand adventure!! (it’s also my first time ever posting fics so make your girl and her friend and their blorbos go viral!!!!!!)

@stealingpotatoes I couldn't help imagining how unhinged this would all get, and couldn't resist adding more and more until it got out of hand...

Thrawn (alarmingly invested): WRECK THEIR SHIT UN'HEE! FEED THEM THEIR OWN KNEECAPS!

Eli: Go Vah'nya! Go Un'hee! Maybe don't do that!

Luke: Ahsoka! Ahsoka, STOP! You can't collect those, they belong to the Chiss Ascendancy! Hera! Don't help her! You already have enough children!"

Ezra: *being given a piggyback ride by Sabine because Luke said it was good for team bonding* "How are they beating us???"

Sabine: "Gee, I don't know, maybe because they aren't being forced to carry each other???"

Shin: *crouched down at the starting line, allowing a navigator to put a band-aid on her finger because she foresaw Shin getting a splinter* "I would DIE for you."

Cal and Eli in unison: "Oh NO Vah'nya and Merrin are WRESTLING in THE MUD!"

Force ghost Anakin: "Master, this is embarrassing!"

Force ghost Obi-Wan: *eating popcorn*"Not for the little girls."

Rey: *at the finish line* *because she straight up gave the leading navigators pixie stix and asked if they wanted to play in a nearby swimming pool (to which they responded enthusastically in the affirmative) so she force yote them into the water while they squealed in joy* "You know I had to do it to 'em."

Force ghost Obi-Wan: "Not for her either."

Force Zombie Sheev: "That's my girl! Get 'em! Give em the ol' one-two from your peepaw!"

If everything is good in the tl4j AU, then the jedi school must face the only challenge left for them: school v school aca-decathalons. All force senstives/force adjacent (the jedi, the nightsisters, the chiss navigators) have to duke it to prove which “school” is the best. The force olympics one may call it

holy crap your mind! yes!!!!!!!!!

Head canon for little Chiss

1: Chiss babies comparative to an adult sized (average 6'4") are very small, and labor is very short. A six-hour labor is considered long, four hours is about average.

2: A Chiss neonate can't regulate their body temperature and needs to put on thermogenic fat. They will nurse almost constantly for their first six months, usually in a sling that holds them close to their mother. Milk-packs are often employed when Mom needs a break.

3: Chiss babies are fat and almost round if they are healthy. The thermogenic fat is packed on during their first year of life. They look like a blueberry. They become more independent between the ages of two and three.

4: At about the age of three, Chiss toddlers develop 'meat teeth.' This makes regular teething look like a tea party. Teething toys and gum rubs are common. Teething centers are popular with parents who are at the end of their tethers.

5:The first premolars and cuspids are replaced by the meat teeth. The adult central and lateral incisors are also extremely sharp and the central incisors will have an almost chisel-like appearance.

6: Adult Chiss have scent glands on their neck and chest, not obvious to the eye. Chiss to about age five will snuffle these spots to be calmed and comforted.

7: About the age of five, little Chiss start learning to use the halves of their brain independently. It's considered a major milestone in child development. This is also the age at which Sky-walkers are taken from their families.

8: Chiss will never refuse to feed a child or a parent with children or an elder. It is considered dishonorable.

9: The Chiss birthrate is low, but they have stipends for each child, extensive parental leave, nutrition vouchers, and free childcare whether the child is from a Common, Lesser, Great, or Ruling family. A woman who has three children gets a stipend for life. A woman from the Lesser and Common families who has five children often is adopted into a higher ranked family as a ranking distant along with her family unit. Any more children and she gets medals and honor chains.

10: Though modern deaths in childbirth are low, a woman who dies as the result of childbirth is given the same funeral as someone of the highest rank. She will have a place of honor in the ossuary, an honor chain and medal, while her surviving family is given a pension.

New picrew pics of the Mitth siblings - Thrawn and Xelarra's kids, Andorra and Shran

Princess Andorra, as Heir to the Empire (of the Hand), speaks at the Chiss Ascendency Syndicure, trying to convince them to adopt the Empire of the Hand's hyperspace beacon technology as an alternative to the exploitative sky-walker program, "unintentionally" exposing said program to the Ascendency's general public.

Meanwhile, little brother Shran finds a new pet while on an Explorer cadet field trip. He names his cat (not a lothcat or tooka, just a regular cat) "Crewman", later the proud ship's "Pest Control Officer" on the Intrepid when Shran becomes captain.

I watched a video criticizing Tales of the Empire on YouTube. (Good! Let's let the hate run through my echo chambers). The speaker, who was too chickenshit to show their face saved most of their criticism for the Barriss Offee story. I agree with this: Being shishkabobbed by a lightsaber seems to only be fatal to Qui Gon Jin.

The rest of his argument turned cringe when they started down the "DiSnEy STaR WarS iz wOKE!! Dave Baloney is going to make a Star Wars 'A-Force' movie starring Rey! THat mAkEs ME aNGrY!" I paraphrase. Rey's Jedi Order should not have Clone Wars-Mandalorian characters, as was his thesis. But if Filoni is the raging feminist ruining Star Wars here is another irksome point from us Thrawn-Zahn fankids:

The 6½* canon Zahn/Thrawn books are FULL of strong women, any of whom would be great to tap into as protagonists, starting with (messed up!) the Sky-Walker program, Thrawn's best Chiss friends being women, many female senior officers, up to the Empire's Faro and Hammerly.

*I count Outbound Flight, as a ½ canon, a book I love. I love that Timothy Zahn underhandedly re-canonized it. RIP Thrass.

FILONI vs BOOKS

Filoni: I finally read them. Now we can make Thrawn the right way. You see, we'll make him he villan he was in the books: butal, ruthless and-

Some guy: Uh, Dave, I think you've read the wrong books. Those are legend... besides Thrawn isn't-

Filoni: What?! I spended weeks reading them... forget it we'll still do this anway. How much of a diffrent character an he be? ...

Tales of the empire:

Thrawn being loyal to the empire for real

No Eli Vanto (sorry Pellaeon but you shouldn't have been there)

Morgen suddently is the mind behind Thrawns Tie fighter project

No Karyn Faro

And where the actuall f*** comes Rukh at this point? (I dont remember him being at Thrawn side in the first book, pls correct me if I'm wrong)

The fandom: GET YOUR SH*T TOGETTHER FILONI!

inspired by that time thalias forgot che'ri's star day and wanted to make amends

[psychomusic]

i had a vague idea last night on chiss space-traveling system. it's really just an idea and maybe it breaks the existing lore so. if there's any chiss expert here PLEASE tell me if it's something that could exist because i wanna know if i can put it to use in my story

i know they use force sensitives with that third sight power, but like. idk. i understand that they are trained and sometimes they fail but like that's SO complex. you're traveling faster than light - you can have jedi like reflexes and shit but that's still hard af.

so i was imagining (because lately I've been trying to better understand chiss lore, which i LOVEEE) wouldn't it be easier if there were like some stations in between planets, especially important colonies, to allow the force sensitives to have to navigate between smaller points, and not completely in the dark?

idk if any of you know sky: children of the light's trial of fire, so here's the link (skip the intro part). now imagine that instead of the checkpoints with rocks and candles you have little artifical moons/planets/asteroids (depending on how important that station is), and force sensitives are supposed to reach that and then re orientate etc.

BUT to make it cooler and most importantly, easier to sense for the force sensitives, imagine that those artificial ecosystem are made to be inhabited by different creatures that can't stay on their planet of origin (like. maybe because the environment changed and they are endangered, or they're too dangerous so they like. put them there). so they're full of life. they'd be like lit candles in the dark, literally.

THIS CAME TO ME BECAUSE TWO WEEKS AGO I SAW SUCH A COOL VIDEO (a 12 hour analysis of the phantom menace that's like. so fucking well-researched??? considering its length it's impressive really, so here's the link) that spoke (at 1:19:22) about that Boss Nass's phrase about going through Naboo's planet core. But to synthetize: basically in the lore, Naboo is supposed to lack a molten core, and at the center of the planet, plasma is being emitted, and it creates infinite tunnels that can connect even theed and otho gunga. but besides other worldbuilding problems that this rather absurd idea would create - that i won't recap here - in the video, there are some ideas on how to make it make sense (like. "going through the planet core" is simply a figure of speech and not what actually happened), BUT between those, there is one in particular that struck me: at 1:30:40, he proposed Naboo could be a constructed planet - like a planet-aquarium.

then, the video explains why it can't be the case for naboo but. GUYS!! if there's a species that could pull off something like that it's the chiss, with their sense of order, their need for knowledge, and organization abilities.

the maintenance of these stations with particular ecosystems could then be left at the nearest colony of csilla (kinda like the romans delegated the maintenance of their streets to each town it crossed and benefitted off of it), and be used as a "lighthouse" for new sky-walkers to train their third sight. researchers would benefit from keeping these animals alive + they could be kept in various different scenarios depending on how the specific station is made. if it's big enough, those creatures wouldn't be even captive, in a certain sense. especially since these stations need to be big enough (and full of life) to be perceived by the force sensitives, they'd just become replicas of the planet, where researchers, even in the creation of such stations, can really have a boost on their understanding of those ecosystems, through the feedbacks and experiments on the stations.

i have made a few sketches to visualize the idea

(ugly quality and poor rendition ops. in my defense it was late)

i know i wrote A LOT and prob not many will read this BUT if you've come this far, what do you think?
