Did I get everything I wanted out of the Ahsoka series? No. Did I want Thrawn and Ezra to become unlikely allies? Yes.

I also wanted Eli to find Thrawn with help from the Chiss Ascendancy, for them to get married and adopt Un’hee, and for her to be one of Ezra’s first padawans. But the Disney overloads would never allow such wonderful things

The thranto fandom's headcanon to make Eli Vanto's parents villains, homophobic or abusive when no where in canon states that, and when he's shown to have extreme concern for them and their reputation over his own is such a strange take.

Like this man loves his family. He was content to be in a career path that kept him close to them until Thrawn entered his life, and even when he left his parents, he was still concerned with how him leaving made them look.

Eli didn't care about what people said about him, only about his friends (which it's implied he probably has some in Wild Space) and his parents.

Like this monster the fandom has built out of them is weird. They aren't abusive. He doesn't hate them. He's not willingly estranged from them, and still cares about them lightyears away. He's gone from them because Thrawn sent him to the Chiss Ascendency.

And their distrust of Thrawn was the exact same distrust Eli had about Thrawn when they first met, and the entirety of the Chiss Ascendency has about Eli. None of it is right, but the Vanto's aren't the only one's guilty of it.

Yet they're made the bad guys? And their distrust came out of genuine concern for their son who's entire life had been derailed by someone who murdered a good chunk of imperial storm troopers & continued to raise through Imperial ranks when Eli himself did not.

These are not evil, homophobic people. They're concerned parents, and clearly Eli is a concerned son. He still thinks fondly of them.

I gag whenever i see that mischaracterization of them and not in a good way.

it doesn't help that Eli and his entire family are people of color.

like why make them homophobic when you can have the most exciting, awkward dinner between the Vantos and the Chiss, because their southern hospitality makes them try no matter what they're feeling.

UP YOU GO PRECIOUS

It’s kinda goofy how no one has asked Thrawn if he wants to be heir to the empire. Wouldn’t it be funny if he’s chilling with a martini in the ascendency and has no idea any of this is happening.

Night drop of sketches with Eli Vanto.

In addition to the canonical appearance, I sketched a version of the “commodore” from my Eleventh Fleet AU.

Because we need MORE bearded Eli'van'to, otherwise only Karyn with a cape :3

[verc0pa]

[littlekhada]

This thing is a month old and I. I forgor. So, yeah, rebels Thranto AU chilling with Kalluzeb!

"Hey, I said no cheatin!'" Zeb utters abruptly, leaning forward to fix a glare upon Thrawn. "Yer countin' yer cards, aren't ya? You may be the superior military strategist, but I know my cards. And you best bet I know how to count 'em." Beside him, Kallus stifles a laugh. Because of course the former Grand Admiral is counting his cards. The man has no grasp on politics whatsoever. Rules are arbitrary, laws even more so, and Kallus is willing to wager a great deal of credits that the man has never stepped foot inside a casino. "My apologies, Captain Orrelios." The response is a smooth drawl, tainted with embarrassment. "It appears I have yet to learn the etiquette of these games." "Or any etiquette at all," Eli Vanto adds from where he sits besides the Chiss, directly opposite Kallus. "For being the genius you are, you sure are stupid sometimes."
