#darth amorosa

[itneedsmoregays]

Rereading The Sith Resurgence and falling in love with it all over again.

Now this is a perfect Sunday evening.

[mikaila-orchard]

Hi, Mikaila, I sent this to Lily's old submission email but decided to send it to you too, just in case that doesn't work anymore.

Thought Lily deserved a present for today so I made her an art piece of Aliana! I'll admit, I was a little worried I'd mess her up at first, but I think she turned out very well! I especially enjoyed drawing the braids!

Wishing Lily a very Happy Birthday!

Oh that's looks great! Thank you

[lilyvalerieorchard]

Trick question.

[fatheriimaginedyoutaller]

Tablet is acting wonky and I just got assigned like a bazillion tasks at work so I won't have time to do the actual drawing of Allie wearing the dress. So enjoy the rough sketch and desing of the outfit in a mannequin for now

[nivatar]

More fanfic ideas to make Lily angry because it's fun:

Bonnie getting taken to a better home while G gets put in solitary confinement by the police and Lily loses her job as a league enforcer

Rey defeating Darth Amorosa along with Kylo Ren

Willow and Hunter out on a double date with Luz and Amity

I still can't figure out how she can hate Hunter.

Lily slander//

Ok can i just talk about how badly written Darth Amorosa was? She's a slavery apologist even tho she's canonically black and the slavery in SW is not the same racially motivated kind like irl, was a constant asshole to everyone yet had the nerve to lecture the jedi on their failings, force lightnings an elderly lady over a throwaway comment (said lady is freaking Princess Leia btw) and kills random people on the assumption that they're slave owners without any real proof.

When she wasn't trying to outdo Palpatine in being the worst person in the galaxy, she gets coddled by Rey, a white woman. Rey ends up being her savior and that's her entire arc. Rey isn't even allowed to be mad when she finds out her love interest's mama was a slaver. Even her sith name is only really a show of her role of being a love interest for Rey and despite being the antithesis of Kylo Ren she pretty much acts like him.

Like the idea of a sith questioning their ideology & realizing true balance of the force is a cool concept, but it's wasted on narrative that refuses to challenge the MC and allow growth.

[sjbattleangel]

Behold some of the worst Star Wars takes you've ever seen. "I love Star Wars!" No you don't, Lily. Just like certain reactionary hacks, you hate Star Wars for the most idiotic reasons ever. Case in point: 1) Lily decides to rewrite the sequel trilogy into angst-fest that over-worships the Sith as a misunderstood, persacuted race of people, turns classic characters like Luke and Leia into "old racist white folk" and of course, has her "heroic" character straight-up murder unarmed rich people!

Plus, as someone who adores The Last Jedi as one of the best Star Wars films since The Empire Strikes Back, Lily completely missed the point of the film! It doesn't need to be "fixed" as it's already a compelling deconstruction of Star Wars that challenges the notion of destiny and fixed traditions by having the characters grow through their mistakes: Like Rey learning she doesn't need to be related to someone special know where she belongs; Poe learning to stop and listen to other people's ideas; Finn learning about how other people are effected by the war; Luke learning not to give up on himself.

I get the feeling Lily's bitter because it didn't line up with her own bloated "SWTOR-and-KOTOR-II-are-the-only-SW-media-that-matters-and-the-Sith-are-the-real-good-guys" headcannon.

That and the real reason Lily hates Rose Tico is because she wasn't a sexy traumatized black lesbian with a high body-count. Because, let's face it, Lily didn't create Darth Amorosa because she wanted "diversity" and "representation". No, it was simply because she wanted a black woman to fetishize.

[nooblord9001]

who were the inspirations for some of your characters?

:D

The Self-Insert & her Mom are both at least partially obvious as to who the main inspirations for their designs were lol (also I commissioned an artpiece of the Self-Insert, so I'm waiting until that's done before I get more in-depth with describing her).

With Vanessa Beniko, it's still a pretty straight-forward list both in terms of visuals and writing:

IRL Inspirations: Lily Orchard, Hillary Clinton, past-me's misunderstood impressions of Anita Sarkesian, and my Mom's best friend (who is also my childhood friend's Mom).

Media Inspirations: Valithria Ryder, Sylvanas Windrunner, Reva, Darth Amorosa, Light-Side Sith Warrior. Sometimes a bit of Alastor thrown in.

Part of me is tempted to pen up multiple character sheets and dump them here to then go on about what might've inspired them, but for now I'mma restrict myself to doing just one for the character who was off-hand mentioned in Vanessa's character sheet:

This was the first very Tabletop character I ever played as (a 3.5e Ranger). I'm not going to get into the IRL inspiration behind her name because it's fucking cringe-- and not the fun kind of cringe, either; the kind that makes a person want to slap their teenage/college-age selves upside the head with a hardcover book.

Media Inspirations: Aloy, Adam Jensen, 9S, and (though I'm only realizing this now that I've actually typed it out) Raiden from the MGS series. Arguably Quiet & Widowmaker as well?

[opinated-user]

Just realized something very insidious.

"Sith" just-so-happens to sound phonetically similar to "cis". And the fact that in the story "being Sith [*Nazis but in space] is linked with womanhood" according to the wiki, all of the transmen apparently allowed to remain Sith would all theoretically be pigeonholed into circumstances where they'd need to say a phrase that can be mistaken for "I am a cis woman", "cis sister" "I am cis" and the like at least once or twice.

Lord help you if you're Sith, trans and have a lisp.

On a funnier note, I looked it up and google translate tells me "amorosa" means "loving". Darth SpanishLove.

i remember that LO said that amorosa was supposed to be portuguese... but either she didn't know, or knew but didn't say, is that amorosa is written and means the same in both languages. either way, it's another piece on the long history of LO using Spanish words for characters that are not hispanic and have no reason to know Spanish at all.

it's like she fetishizes the language, that she has admitted doesn't even speak, but doesn't want anything to do with hispanic people. it's really weird.

since she claims she knows french, why she has never used it on any of her stories for anything?

Chapter 1: Prologue

Jakku. A sand covered graveyard of destroyed star ships from the battle that ensued roughly 20 years ago. Varax looked out along the desert atop his speeder, the sun beating down on him like a wave. As he stared out amongst the lifeless desert, he noticed a starship fly overhead. The ship was roughly the size of a star freighter, and looked very similar to the ships used by the First Order. “Damn fascists” Varax mumbled under his breath as he hopped onto the speeder and headed towards Niima Outpost.

He sped through the desert, eventually reaching the settlement where he headed to Unkar Plutt’s to give him a heads up about the ship he’d seen earlier. But, oddly enough, Plutt’s top scavenger was there negotiating a deal with the ugly bastard. “For the last time girl one quarter portion, or nothing at all” Unkar said with a grunt. As Varax walked up to Plutt however, a woman stopped the scavenger and offered a better deal. Much to Unkar’s dismay. As the two walked off, Unkar scoffed and returned to his work “Hey boss” Varax called out “Ah Varax, finally something good can come out of this damn hellhole” Plutt said as he walked out of his shop for a smoke break “You usually aren’t back this early, what’s the occasion?” He asked, taking a puff from his pipe. “Caught a freighter outside the outpost. Looked old and beat up, and Imperial too” Varax said as he sat down next to the dealer. “Imperial? Obviously the desert’s fried your brain kid. The only Imperial ships here are derelict wrecks of an age gone by” He says with a laugh and a cough. 

“Fair. What’s the deal with the girl anyhow?” Varax asked as he took a drink from his canteen. “Who, Rey?” Plutt asks as he exhales a thick cloud of smoke. “Yeah, she’s usually pretty loyal to ya since she’s started living on the old walker in the desert” Varax explains wiping some sweat from his brow. “Beats me” Plutt says as he takes another puff out of the pipe “The Dantoonian Girl though, she’s trouble” Plutt says with an exhale “Rumor has it she works with Lord Niima and the other Hutts in the cartel as a bounty hunter called ‘Darth Amorosa’” he says with a laugh. “She’s got guts pretending to be a Sith” Varax says “I’m gonna head out, thanks for the chat Plutt” Varax says as he cowls up his hood and walks off

First the ship, now a possible Sith here… I’ve got a bad feeling about this…

Chapter 2: An Unlikely Ally 

Varax sped through the desert until he’d seen it: A Sith Interceptor. He’d only seen them in holodocs after leaving Luke’s order, it looked familiar but he shrugged it off as he docked his speeder in front of the ship as he saw Rey walk out with a bag of rations. “Uh Hi?” She says to Varax as he inspects the ship. He was right, it was old. REALLY OLD. Older than most ships he’d seen since… No, forget the past, don’t let it consume you he thought to himself before he walked up to Rey “Sorry if it looks like I’m tailing you. Wanted to make sure this old tub isn’t First Order” Varax says as he hits a panel before it hits the desert floor…. Directly onto his foot “Ah Kriff! Fucking ship!” He cursed under his breath. “Smooth Scav-boy, what’s next you’re gonna plant your head in the sand like a senator?” A voice says from the ship. Varax looks up and realizes it was the girl from the market. She looked like she was from Dantooine, based on the tattoo on her lips. “Yeah yeah” Varax says as he winces in pain “I just swang by to check on the ship, not everyday you see a Sith Interceptor…”. The girl chuckles as a 2V Droid exits the ship “Lady Amorosa if you don’t mind me asking, who is this” he says pointing at Varax. “My thoughts exactly 2V, who are you stranger?” she asks as she exposes a lightsaber hanging off her hip.

Varax sighs and removes his hood, his black hair blowing through the desert wind. “My name is Varax Koslov, former Jedi Master” he says as he pulls out his lightsaber and ignites its dual cyan blades as they crackled like lightning in his hands. Amorosa tensed up a little, as if a ghost had passed through her. But before she could say anything she and Varax felt a shift in the Force as the three of them looked up to see a First Order Dreadnaught appear out of hyperspace. Dropships and a Flagship headed towards a village to the east. “2V prime the ship!” Amorosa orders the droid as he races to the cockpit to start the vessel “Right away Darth Amorosa” he chimes as the ship begins to lift off. Rey accompanies them as they head to the village

Varax knew who was here, he knew who was on that flagship…

The Grandson to Darth Vader…

And Luke Skywalker’s former apprentice…

Kylo Ren.

Chapter 3: Hope Within Death

As the crew landed outside the village, Rey was sickened to her core. Bodies littered the village left and right, homes were in flames, and a Rebel X-wing was blown to pieces. “Who could’ve done this?” Rey asked the 2 Force sensitives as they looked for survivors amongst the dead and burned. “The First Order” Amorosa says as she turns over a corpse expecting something besides death. Varax nods in agreement, Rey is still confused, “First Order?” she asks not knowing of the tyrannical group. “Leftover parasites of the Empire, a bunch of fascist, racist, power hungry bastards who only wish to spread pain and suffering all over the galaxy” He says angrily. Rey lowers her head, “Is there anything we could’ve done?” She asks her strange friends. “No” they say, almost at the same time.

Suddenly a BB droid comes running at the trio, sounding of a battle cry of beeps and whirs as it charges at Amorosa. “Oi! Watch it you metal bastard” she reprimands the droid before it pulls out a shock stick and zaps her leg. “WHY YOU-” Amorosa says as she tries to kick the little droid before being cut off by Rey and Varax “Ali stop it! He’s obviously angry at someone else, don't hurt him!” Rey says as she kneels down to the droid. “I’m sorry about my friend, she can be a bit temperamental, my name is Rey. And this is Varax and Aliana” she explains to the BB droid. The droid gives out a series of beeps and whirs. “He says the village was attacked by the First Order, and that a warrior named Kylo Ren took his friend, a pilot named Poe Dameron, his name is BB-8” she translates as she looks back to the droid. “Listen, it’s too dangerous out in the desert at night, especially for a droid like you, how about you stay with us for the night and we’ll go after your friend in the morning?” she says, talking to the droid as if it's a little child. BB-8 looks down for a moment before giving an affirmative beep as he rolls to the Fury.

“Rey will take the guest room, Varax you get the couch” Aliana explains as the 4 of them enter the ship. Varax was thoroughly impressed by how well the ship was maintained, especially for its age. “How long have you had this thing?” Varax asks as he plops down on the couch as BB-8 rolls next to him “It’s a family heirloom, 2V and I have lived here for as long as I can remember” she says as she presses a button on the dining room table, revealing a huge family tree of humans, the earliest dating well over 1000 years ago. “Damn, this must be some heirloom, either that or that family tree is WAY off” Varax says as he kicks off his boots as lies down on the couch. The padding feeling like a 6 star hotel mattress on Canto Byte. “Ah that's the spot” he says as he closes his eyes and drifts into unconsciousness.

Chapter 4: Finn or Foe?

Varax tossed and turned as he dreamt. He was walking through a great hall on a forest planet. Endor’s Moon? Kashyyyk? It didn’t matter what he did see was the mask of Kylo Ren and the hum of his lightsaber before waking up in a jolt.

Rey and Aliana were eating stew of some kind as BB-8 was pacing around the ship. “Morning” he says as he gets up and grabs a bowl of stew from the pot. The scent of spices and meat made his mouth water “made it myself” Aliana says as she grabs a spoonful for herself. Varax gives her a look of doubt “A Sith cooking for a Jedi and a scavenger? I’m either still dreaming or dead” he says as he sits down and starts to eat as he looks over at Rey, whose cheeks are nearly bursting due to how full they are. “Ali’s the best cook ever!” Rey says as she swallows the mass of stew with a grunt. “Easy their Rey, no need to make yourself sick” Aliana says as she grabs the 2 empty bowls in front of Rey. Rey chuckles “Yeah you’re right” she says as Aliana sets the dishes in the sink and heads to the cockpit.

As the 3 enter the cockpit, a TIE fighter whips past them and collides with a sand dune and lands next to an old Star Destroyer. “What was that!?!?” Rey says as she grips the door frame as the ship shakes from the turbulence. “Looks like we’ve got us a First Order TIE Fighter” Varax says looking down at the wreckage. “Should we check it out?” Rey asks “It could be Poe” she adds. BB-8 gives out a series of supportive beeps before the ship gets swallowed by a vortex of desert sand.

“Well, if that Poe guy’s in there he’s dead… sorry little buddy” Varax says to BB-8 sympathetically. BB-8 lowers his head and beeps sadly. “Hang on whose that?” Rey asks, pointing at someone next to the wreckage. The crew look at the camera footage of the wreck and its lone survivor: A dark skinned stormtrooper carrying a brown leather jacket. BB-8 gives out a series of angry beeps as he takes control of the Fury and sets it on a collision course. “What the hell are you doing you idiot!?!” Varax yells at him. BB-8 responds with a series of beeps. “He says that the jacket belonged to Poe!” Rey exclaims trying not to fall on any controls as BB-8 recklessly flys overtop the Stormtrooper and lowers the landing gear, rolling out of the ship and charging at the survivor. Shocking him and running him over while giving out the droid equivalent of a raging war cry.

“BB-8 Stop it let ‘em go!!!” Varax yells as he grabs the droid before pulling a blaster pistol on the Trooper. “What's your name Buckethead?”

More fanart ideas to make Lily mad: Imoen hanging out with her BFF Astarion, walking away from Aryanna, Lily's OC. Imoen kissing either Shadowheart or lea'zel. Steven Universe and the Crystal Gems defeating Darth Amorosa, another one of Lily's OCs.

OH MY GOD I LOVE THIS! Thank you, this is brilliant! I can't promise that I'll draw it all though. Astarion and Imoen are besties for sure.

I’m basic as all heck, so C2 Aliana Beniko? I can easily imagine her getting all bubbly and happy at something adorably hilarious Rey did, those two are so soft.

Great minds, right? Have your adorable Sith
