dr pershing ✨villain arc✨

I really can't blame Dr. Pershing, if a pretty lady with big muscles smiled at me I'd also follow her into doing illegal activities

Attendant Heert Headcanons (featuring Dedra Meero and Penn Pershing)

Because I've been making and will be making more Heert content I figured I'd compile these into one place. I'll be using these for various fics/art in the future. This post ended up way longer than it needed to be but what can I say? I love my obscure imperials.

TW: Mention of homophobia, mention of Dr. Gorst being creepy (as if we did not already know that about him), discussion of medical conditions

Heert's first name is Lionel which really shouldn't cause an issue, but somehow despite even in a world as technologically advanced as the Empire, he still gets mail intended for Lio Partagaz. It's usually harmless spam mail but occasionally there's a confidentiality issue. Also, Heert hates having his name abbreviated.

He has been renting an apartment with Dr. Penn Pershing since the two were academy students. Both received ISB-sponsored scholarships and hated their original roommates. After requesting a switch, they wound up rooming together and decided they got along well. They have a mutually introverted friendship going on that's surprisingly wholesome considering both of them are entangled with the ISB.

Heert is gay. He grew up in a pretty homophobic part of Chandrila which is one of the many reasons he resents the planet. He and Dedra came out to each other during a late-night shift. He has been generally unlucky with relationships but has begun a promising one with an army man named Lastok shortly before the events of Andor. The two met at an Empire Day event on Coruscant and since then have been in a long-distance relationship. They send each other packages which mainly consist of snacks, though Heert did receive flowers once. They made him (and everyone in the ISB) sneeze but it's the thought that counts.

Heert was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes Mellitus when he was 7 but controls it well. This is part of the reason he ended up applying for the ISB because unlike the other branches of the Imperial military, the ISB did not list T1DM as a disqualifying condition for non-field agents at the time he applied. Still, he's not very open about the fact and every now and then he worries about whether his insurance through the ISB is going to deny his insulin.

Ironically, despite eating sweets extremely sparingly due to the above, Heert is a decent baker. He enjoys the precision of baking. On the flip side, he's a mediocre cook at best when it comes to savory dishes. It scarcely matters because he subsists mostly on instant meals and soup.

Heert genuinely likes and respects Dedra Meero. He prefers working for her over the other supervisors because he believes she's the most competent and she doesn't have a tendency to berate her attendants when under pressure like so many others. She's not the warm and fuzzy sort, and Heert feels it's overstepping to call them friends, but he considers them "close acquaintances". They are both cat people and bond over various Tooka Cat photos during short breaks waiting for reports to come in.

Heert is not sure what to make of Syril Karn. His main concern is that the guy is after his job, but on a more superficial side, he doesn't like the idea of someone intruding on his workplace acquaintanceship with Dedra. He's kind of embarrassed about it because it sounds very much like middle-school drama, as Pershing has pointed out to him. But honestly, the ISB feels like middle-school often enough, so he feels he's justified in being petty... sort of at least.

In contrast, Heert deeply dislikes Dr. Gorst whom he finds unnerving though he has never mentioned it to any of his colleagues for the sake of professionality. The trouble is that Gorst seems to like Heert at least in the sense that he keeps trying to make small talk. (Spoiler alert: Gorst's small talk is even more unnerving than Gorst himself.) Heert feels like Gorst has tried to pick him up a couple times but it's hard to tell amidst all the weird philosophical ranting. All things considered, Heert keeps up a very good pretense of everything being fine and normal between them. He knows that Dedra respects Gorst's methods. Heert in turn respects Dedra enough to go along with it, hence the scene where he proactively contacted Gorst because he knew he'd have to do so eventually.

On a much lighter note, Heert has a Tooka Cat named Mister Phantom. Heert claims that Mister Phantom is a "geriatric cat" but in reality no one has any idea how old the cat is. When Heert got him at the adoption fair, the shelter said Mister Phantom was ~10 years old and the cat had already gone blind in one eye from cataracts. However, considering Heert has had him for 7 years and the cat is showing no signs of slowing down, the original estimate was probably very wrong. Mister Phantom is extremely temperamental and will claw/bite most visitors. He is exclusively affectionate with Heert but still claws the man in his sleep at times. Mister Phantom is also a cold-blooded killer and despite being an indoor cat, he has a habit of sneaking out windows and bringing back headless small prey.

I’m back on my bullshit

[kanansdume]

There is no possible way to guess where this show is going or what's going to happen in each episode since it keeps zipping off in random directions and creating really convoluted ways to try to connect their disparate storylines together that the only thing I can say with any sort of reasonable confidence is that there is a 75% likelihood of a random cameo from someone that will probably be the best part of the entire episode and be the only thing anyone ever remembers from it anyway.

[enkisstories]

Daniel: "Here, El! I've made you something nice for the return trip to Nakadia."

Penn: "Smells tasty! Thank you!"

Daniel: "Of course you could also take the bus to Black Spire and there the immigration office! We'd be happy to have you here on Batuu. If you can think of a name for yourself, "L-52"...".

Penn: "It's Penn, Daniel. I'm a scientist, I may have lost my memory, but I know how to do research. I know the full account of my past, even though I do not remember it."

Daniel: "We figured as much. But, see, I have files on me in official databases, too, but me not being a scientist, I wouldn't dream of taking them for the best source concerning who I am."

Penn: "Daniel..."

Daniel (talking into Penn): "How exactly did you lose your memory?"

Penn: "I worked for the empire, as you already correctly deduced. After getting captured, I was granted a second chance in an amnesty program. But I must have relapsed for some reason, so the New Republic used... Now that I'm saying it out loud, it does sound pretty wild. They used a modified mindflayer device to administer electroshocks that should help me overcome the indoctrination. It malfunctioned."

Daniel: "The Republic stuffed you into a mindflayer? Yep. Sounds just like the place I'd be in a hurry to return to, too..."

The Mandalorian definitely framed the use of 'electroshock therapy' (random, unstudied electrocution, not really ECT) as a bad thing that the New Republic is doing to people struggling in the aftermath of war. That being said, I find it ironic that the NR never got their hands on Hux as I 100% believe that if you exposed him to other Victorian era therapies like bloodletting, fresh air, unsafe electroshock, etc... he would be a lot more healthy. He is the only person in the galaxy who'd improve being exposed to that.

You shove him in a Victorian asylum for a month and he'd come out of it saying: I'm normal and happy now 😀

Greetings, Disheartened Living Imperials! 👋

Do you feel like you’re not living up to your full potential under the so-called “New Republic”? 😔

Do you feel dehumanized by their so-called “Amnesty Program” as if you’re living in some kind of dystopian youth novel? 🤔

Do you miss eating rations biscuits which are now illegal? 🍪

If you answered yes to any of these questions, summoning a Vengeful Imperial Ghost (TM) is exactly what you need! 👻👍

For a very reasonable fee of 50 spirit credits (which costs you 0 living credits) we will drag down a New Republic citizen into the depths of the afterlife after tormenting them with timeless classics like leaving ominous messages in red paint on refresher mirrors and making arbitrary objects float in their house! After this is complete, we will leave a care package of rations biscuits at your doorstep in any color of your choosing. (Yes, we have yellow!)

But wait! If you summon a Vengeful Imperial Ghost (TM) within the next 3 full moons on Mustafar, we’ll drag a second New Republic citizen into the afterlife for no additional charge!!

So, what are you waiting for? Summon your Vengeful Imperial Ghost (TM) today!

For a free consultation, say ��Iron Max” three times in your nearest reflective surface. 🪞

(Disclaimer: The Imperial afterlife does not take any responsibility for interdimensional rifts or extraneous paranormal events which may occur as a side effect of the haunting. Additional charges may apply. Haunting hours are subject to change based on holidays recognized by the Imperial calendar. Summoning Imperial ghosts has been associated with rare side effects such as headache, rash, fever, dizziness, hallucinations of MSE Droids, nausea, cough, increased cravings for caf, and an impending sense of doom. Adverse reactions may occur if you have consumed alcohol or visited a beach within 12 hours of séance.)

"Amnesty Scientist, L52"

I have a big crush on Dr. Pershing... I hope he's ok.

[uwingdispatch]

I also made hoodies. Someday I will finish this fic I’m almost probably done with but the brain gremlins want to make silly t-shirts. You can get a silly t-shirt here.

I had a conversation with my friend and I thought of this

Amnesty Chaos Pt. 1

Elia- “Doc what the fuck are you doing?-“

Penn, literally trying to cut cooked broccoli with a plastic spoon- “I don’t knOw 😭”

Elia- “Maker, you’re mental”

Penn- “Basically”

M40, walking in on this shit- “I… Nevermind bye”

Elia- “TAKE ME WITH YOU.”

M40- “You’re on your own G68! Cya!”

How the heck did Mandalorian Season 3 just redeem Dr. Pershing in my eyes. I hated this guy so much walking into the episode and now he’s my latest morally ambiguous blorbo. What is this?!

(I feel bad for yelling at Din for sparing his life now in Season 1.)

[curioushappenstance]

pov: you’re watching mandalorian season 3, episode 3. doctor pershing comes on screen. i emerge from the depths with a blood curdling cry and a plethora of dr pershing fanart, fanfic, and headcanons. its my time.

Gavin: "Alright. I'd normally say Do your worst, but given your background... If you do something funny, my Force ghost will haunt you into all of eternity!"

Penn: "I'm a clone scientist, Dree, you don't have anything to fear from me. Or do you really think I'd want to clone you so there'd be two of you?"

Gavin: "What do I know anymore! We all here are working to rescurrect the emperor to diminish his power. Can't get any more crazy short of electing a fucking droid for Supreme Chancellor of the New Republic!"

There. A flask containing Force sensitive blood worth exactly 1,500 midichlorians. All for the cause... Different motives aside, is history really doomed to repeat all the time?

Penn: "How are you feeling now?"

Gavin: "...lonely."

Penn: "I'm not surprised. You've lost a good chunk of the microorganisms that enable you to connect to the Force. Without them, it must be more difficult for you to feel people."

Gavin: "No joke! So this is how the fully mundanes feel all the time? No wonder the galaxy is in such a bad shape. Without my midichlorians, in this people-blind state I'm in, I'd punch Connor into the stomach just from having a bad day and wouldn't think anything about it. - Will the little shitters grow back?"

Penn: "Yes. They reproduce just like any other internal fauna."

Gavin: "Okay. Oh, and... Sorry for constantly having rubbed your past in. That must have hurt. And also sorry in advance for everything else I'm going to say while I'm in this state."

Penn: "How come you are actually MORE considerate without your supernatural empathy than with it?"

Gavin: "Erratic enough to dazzle Palpatine, remember?"

Event Progress:

✔️ Buy a potion of youth

Additionally I had to enable Wants & Fears because a different task asks for a Want to get completed. When the system was active, the game immediately warned Gavin of a fear of lonelyness building up.
