Who's more emotionally mature, a fully trained Jedi Knight or a traumatized teenager? Somehow, it's the teenager.

I am just randomly sending you this snippet of Grim & Anakin angst:

It had been several minutes, and Anakin had not returned inside the Temple. Grim frowned and left to find him outside.

He was still watching the stairs that Ahsoka had left, as if hoping any moment she would rush back.

Grim smiled sadly and walked over to him, placing a hand on his back. “Anakin,” Grim said softly. “She’s not coming back.”

Anakin looked down and saw Grim. “She has to, the Jedi Order is her life. She can’t throw it away like that! And why aren’t you upset? I know you and Ahsoka are together. Aren’t you upset?”

“I am,” Grim said quietly. “I also understand that it was her choice to leave. She has her own life, her own path ahead of her. If that path lies outside the Jedi, then it lies outside the Jedi. I know you want her to come back, but it was her choice.”

- The Clone Wars Gets A New Victim, Chapter 28: A Goodbye

So like Anakin to demonstrate less emotional maturity than a literal teenager

💬 & ❤️ ? 👀

💬: A quote from my work that I love

Her first day as a healer involved filling in gaps in her healing knowledge. Because as it turned out…the list of ailments and cures was quite different here than on Tatooine. Names like tetanus, hypothermia, and frostbite, a distinct lack of dehydration as a major concern…it was all quite perplexing.

~take it in (and let it go)

A little worldbuilding for the soul 💞 I love exploring culture shock (especially as someone who has experienced it and who has grown up in two very different cultures throughout my life 😅), and Tatooine to basically-anywhere-else would bring some major culture shocks.

Also, Lucy’s healing skillset will come back around btw 👀 there’s a reason I set that up

❤️: A quote from your work that I love

Grim had no clue what color her blade would be, but at least she could plan the design of the hilt. Each design was different, some designs were based off Obi-Wan's lightsaber, some based more off of Anakin's, some completely unique.

One design had her considering wielding a saberstaff, though after consideration she figured that would be far too difficult to fight with.

The final design she settled on was a curved lightsaber, beside the emitter split two slightly curved edges. The very end of the hilt would be a separate color than the rest of the body. Though what color she was not yet sure of.

~The Clone Wars Gets a New Victim (Chp 1)

In keeping with the worldbuilding theme, here’s one I love from your fic 💞 the attention to detail throughout this fic is great, and that’s exemplified here. Also…tbh I would be VERY intrigued to see Grim fight with a saberstaff 👀

quotes ask game!

Hello there!

This is a blog dedicated to my latest fanfic project As Long As There's Light, this fic will be the sequel to The Clone Wars Gets A New Victim, so you'll need to read that first.

I'm Nova, and I use he/they pronouns. This is a sideblog and my main blog is over on @chaosgod4life with my art/writing blog being @thechaoticfanartist

Here I'll be reblogging anything that fits with As Long As There's Light including things that match with the aesthetic of the fic.

Read As Long As There's Light: A03 | Wattpad

Remember the Force will be with you, always.

[wild-karrde]

Next I’d like to recommend my wonderful friend @thechaoticfanartist, whose masterpost is here. They specialize in writing their OC Grim Kennet, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker, and Ahsoka Tano. Their main WIP is The Clone Wars Gets a New Victim, in which a girl from Earth is transported into the Star Wars universe and tries to prevent Order 66 from happening.

OOOOOOOH I've always thought dropping a "this universe" human into the Star Wars universe presents an interesting set of problems and possibilities, and this fic absolutely seems like it will tackle several of those!! Also, HELL YEAH LESBIAN AHSOKA!! And this promises just PAIN at the thought of stopping Order 66, because even if Grim manages it, at what cost (because no one can ever be happy in Star Wars). Thanks so much for the rec!

Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

Club Galactic

So, coming across someone’s art of a hungover Hordak made me think of an old fic of mine for one of the Entrapdak Months.  It’s not like he’s a victim of the booze in it (she is), but he and Entrapta do, for the prompt of “Going Out” visit a nightclub for Horde-clones.  I felt like posting it.  I don’t think I’ve posted it on this particular blog.  It’s short and can be found as part of a collection on A03 - Every Overlord Needs a Mad Scientist  Club Galactic Hordak was trying to figure out the sequence of events that had brought him to this place.  His ears were straight against his skull, an expression of displeasure.  No amount of flattening could deafen the blaring music.  The lights at the edges of his vision bothered him.  A tendril of purple hair wrapped itself around one wrist. “Come on, let’s dance!”   “And make a fool of myself?”   “Just one dance, please?”  Entrapta begged.  “To tell the truth, I’m not much for it all either, but participation is vital to the social experiment!”   “Very well.” “It’ll also be an excellent opportunity to see how your new armor holds up!”   Hordak had been essentially forbidden from wearing battle-armor that enhanced his strength to particularly inhuman levels after the end of the war, but Entrapta had been crafting for him a series of form-fitting armors that served as mobility-aids.  They went well with – and appeared to be to the untrained eye to be - ordinary clothing, if a bit on the designer-side.  The power crystals were embedded into joints that deft feline-claws could not get into and so the large crystal etched with the word “LUVD” hung around the former warlord’s neck on a golden chain.   Hordak’s slinky dress was long enough to almost brush the floor.  Entrapta, for her part, was dressed in a smart little tuxedo with a tiny top-hat perched upon the top of one ponytail.  They both looked the part for this club.  The aesthetic of the place was something that Etherians had labeled “Gothic” and the garb people wore here was quite expressive.   Most of the crowd was made up of spacebats. “One dance,” Hordak grumbled.  “Then your promise to Kadroh will be fulfilled and we can leave.”   Entrapta giggled.  “A dance, some drinks and some tiny food!”   “Alright, then.”  Hordak looked around.  He almost ran into a deer-man with a large rack of antlers that had been painted black.  The deer was shuffling with a spacebat-partner.  Now that he took the time to notice, Hordak saw that Entrapta was the only human here. Every other club-goer was one of his kind or a member of Etheria’s beast-folk.   Entrapta started to dance, but seemed like she was unsure how.  She looked out at others in the crowd and began to imitate them – awkwardly. Hordak followed suit, timing a shuffling of his elbows and his feet to the beats he heard in the music.   “This place… is popular…” he stated.  “It seems that Kadroh is doing well for himself.” The clone formerly known as “Wrong Hordak” had been trying many things in terms of finding his identity and things to do after the war.  He was very much unlike Hordak in that he was a rather gregarious sort.  As an extension of this and of the cooking hobby he’d discovered, he’d started a nightclub.  He’d found an old industrial-building that was still standing in a town that had been bombed out during the war and had turned it into a party-hub for Horde-clones and Etherians alike.  The club catered especially to the spacebats because others struggled to understand their preferences.  For instance, this was one of the few establishments where they could get a soured-milk drink, discovered recently by accident and refined through culinary-experimentation.  It had proven to be a bit of an intoxicant for them.  It did nothing for Etherians.  It was also a place where they could get some fairly strong whisky – something that Hordak often had for breakfast.  His kind metabolized alcohol slightly differently than humans did. For him, it was like Entrapta and her coffee.   His own single encounter with coffee was something he did not want to think about.   “You’re moving great!” Entrapta encouraged. “How does it feel?”   Hordak moved with the music and he actually was starting to enjoy himself.  His joints felt fluid.  For emphasis, he spun and dipped.   “Ooh!” Entrapta squealed, clapping her hair-tails, “I’ve never seen you bend down so far!”   She paused and took a pair of champagne-flutes off the tray of a passing server.  She passed one to Hordak and they shuffled off into a corner to sip their drinks and watch the crowd.   “Alright, more than one dance,” Hordak said, grinning.  “Thanks to your armor, I found that quite invigorating.”   “Great!”   His ears flattened again at a discordant note played over the speaker system.  “Although I do find the music to be a bit too loud for my liking.”   “Music?” Entrapta asked, “What music?”   Hordak whipped around, eyes wide. “What?  Are you well, Entrapta?”   “Perfectly.  I just don’t hear any music!  I was just trying to keep up with the others with the dancing, but… it is not customary for people to dance without music.  How does Kadroh get people to do it?  Fascinating…”   “Of course there is music,” Hordak intoned. “You…you don’t hear it?”   “Nope!”   Hordak listened carefully.  He closed his eyes and concentrated on the trills and screeches and upon what he could catch of Galactic Hordish lyrics.  It dawned on him.  Of course! “You shall have to work on inventing a hearing-aid-device for yourself to come to this club,” he told her with a smile. “It would seem that the music here is strictly in my language.  The frequencies are beyond your range.  That could explain why the only other Etherians here are certain kinds of beast-folk. Every species has its own limits in perception.” Entrapta quivered in joy, her eyes sparkling in the spinning club-lights.  “Amazing!” She grabbed Hordak by the waist with her hair again and dragged him back to the dance floor.  “We’ll have to stay here all night!  So much data to collect!  So much study to be done! I’m the ultimate unbiased outside-observer! Eeeee!”   More dances were shared, more observations done and more drinks were downed.  After that, another limit to Entrapta was discovered, that, unfortunately, of her ability to metabolize alcohol.   Hordak carried her to their skiff.  The next morning was spent with the two of them in one of the bathrooms of Dryl, Hordak holding back her beautiful purple hair as she unloaded the remains of everything she’d eaten the night before into a commode.  He rubbed her back and whispered sweet nothings to her, having not changed out of his armor, experiencing a rare role-reversal in who took care of whom.   They didn’t have any plans to go to Club Galactic again.

my friend @thechaoticfanartist has a jedi of fic as well!

the clone wars gets a new victim

Hi, I was wondering if you had any jedi oc centric fic recs? I've had cravings recently and your recommendations always manage to scratch an itch

Hi! Ooh, this is an interesting trope but I suspect I'm going to need a little help here, so I'm doubly asking anyone who might have Jedi OC-centric fic recs to jump in! But I can also get you started! I tend to read fic that usually has the canon characters in a central role as well, but searching through my recs, I believe these ones should also be centered on the OCs enough to scratch that itch: ✦ Lucida by markwatnae, obi-wan & oc & anakin & ahsoka & bant & feemor & satine & garen & caleb & mace & cast, 75k After the start of the Clone Wars, Obi-Wan Kenobi chooses his second padawan. He meets her by chance, but the Force insists that he take her as his student. This decision turns out to be one that will change the course of the Order's future.

✦ Found Clan by silvergryphon, boba & ocs & obi-wan & anakin & cast, 25.3k wip After the Battle of Geonosis, a Jedi Healer discovers young Boba Fett mourning the loss of his father. Not about to leave a ten-year-old boy on his own, she promptly adopts him with the full collusion of her Padawan.

✦ then leaf subsides to leaf by The_Last_Kenobi, oc, ~1k You are a Jedi, and this is what that means.

✦ No Rest for the Weary by orphan_account, obi-wan & anakin & ocs, 61k Needing a break from life at the Jedi Temple, Obi-Wan Kenobi and his apprentice, Anakin Skywalker, visit a Jedi AgriCorps settlement on the Midrim planet of Helia. There they encounter new friends, new enemies and have new adventures, all while attempting to navigate their sometimes turbulent relationship as Master and Padawan. [Note: This one is probably going to be the least on-target for your request, as it's probably more an Obi-Wan & Anakin story than it is about the OCs, but I remember the OCs being nicely fleshed out and important in the story, so I'm including it on a chance.] ✦ The Quickest Way by SingManyFaces, anakin & ocs, 1.2k They say the quickest way to person’s heart is through their stomach, something that holds true for the Jedi as well.

I know I'm missing a ton and I love Jedi OCs, I love Jedi worldbuilding through the OCs and I love seeing slice of life or epic action plots or giving a familiar character a new Padawan (GIVE ME ALL THE OBI-WAN & A NEW KIDLET TO TRAIN STORIES!!!), so if anyone has more, gimme! Also, I swear there was a Jedi OC-centric fic that was being posted on a forum somewhere that came strongly recommended from the JA discord server, but I cannot find it again. I think it might have been the spacebattles forum? If anyone has a link, please send it because I want to find it again very much. (For memory, I think it was in its second story and was a couple hundred chapters long and people really liked it...?)

[fandom-friday]

I'm self promoting myself here, but I want to show off my fic The Clone Wars Gets A New Victim now that it's finally completed. It took me exactly 2 years to write. It follows my Star Wars OC who's from our universe but ends up in The Clone Wars, she ends up becoming Obi-Wan's new Padawan and makes it her goal to stop Order 66 from taking place. It's a total of 40 chapters + an epilogue with a sequel currently in progress.

CONGRATULATIONS ON FINISHING THIS FIC! I know you've been working on it for a good long while, and almost 172k words and 41 chapters? I am throwing flowers at you. And the concept? I LOVE IT. Because I think Grim is such a unique character on her own, but also, so relatable in so many ways. Who amongst us wouldn't try to stop Order 66 if we got chucked into the Star Wars universe? Thanks so much for sharing this and GOOD LUCK WITH THE SEQUEL!!!

Participate in Fandom Friday to show your favorite creators from this week some love! :)

[megamuscle885-blog]

EEEEEEE oh my god. Thank you so much I'm overjoyed to share my thoughts on this. I've come up with a few more that I'll hide under the cut. Spoilers for Severed.

You know what's really compelling about Severed Taylor and Bonesaw/Riley in a general sense? I'm drawing from a few other Bonesaw fics when I mention this, The Artist Formerly Known as Bonesaw by Octobre, Revision by keighthundred, and Self Implant, also by Chartic. (Check them out, very good if you like Riley.)

They're both absolutely committed to doing better. As Bonesaw fades and Riley takes center stage, she becomes obsessed with fixing the mistakes of Bonesaw. She's never allowed to operate on her victims in Ward, iirc, which is what I meant above by pointing out some tinker related panic; if the simultaneous situation of not being allowed to tinker and therefore not being allowed to fix or repair someone, which is a callback to her trigger, is combined with the fear that if she ever does get her hands on someone to fix, she might go to far again. Riley knows all too well how tinker fugues work, what Passengers are, why they do what they do. Her introduction in canon is the exploitation of that knowledge against Panacea, who hasn't entertained her passenger at all since she triggered. It's a very real threat that Bonesaw might pop up while Riley is trying to tinker. I think she'll have to make that distinction in the future. "Okay, Riley is tinkering now, not Bonesaw. How does Riley tinker?"

Taylor is being blocked off from improvement. Though nobody wants Bonesaw to operate again, Riley is encouraged to talk in therapy and engage with herself so she might rediscover her identity.

Taylor on the other hand; her friends won't forgive her, not that she's asking their permission. She's trying to force it. If she kills Jack Slash, or twists their arms perfectly, they'll have to forgive her. She was only sixteen after all.

She's lost everything else she could tether herself to; no more dad, no more warlord, no more Coil (and I suspect Dinah was killed too if the S9 could get Coil). Without her father, Taylor Hebert has ceased to exist, sacrificed to Jack Slash and Mannequin, the unconsciously intended effect of putting on her mask in canon is now a fact that has welded Skitter's face over Taylor's. The last couple chapters really cast the Charlotte chapter in a brand new light too. That favor that Charlotte owes Skitter? It was extremely literal that she owed Taylor her life, and maybe more considering Taylor's dual sacrifice of Taylor and her father. Only Skitter remained. Imagine trading in your dad's death debt for someone to temporarily fuck with your ankle monitor. Absolutely something Skitter would do though. And no Coil. I can only imagine Dinah's fate in this. Probably not good. So Skitter couldn't even save her.

She lies or downplays anything that's wrong with her during her therapy sessions. Masking her problems rather than talking through them, because even real improvement is secondary compared to her initial goal of getting out of imprisonment as soon as possible so that she can go hunt Jack Slash. Maybe not even secondary, Taylor's mental and physical health are extremely low on her priority list, no matter what writers have done with her or what situations they've put her in. Trust me, if you've tried to write Taylor calming down and working through her feelings to find some peace, she's actually playing you, the writer, until you stop paying attention and she gets away with another war crime. It's part of her enrichment.

All of this is just so I can contrast Skitter with Taylor, her clone. From this point on I'll be using their names that way, our original Taylor Hebert as Skitter, the monster she eventually became, and 'The Spare' who became Taylor Hebert. Or is it something different? Taylor Ritcher? Taylor Wallis?

Right from the get go, Taylor gets things Skitter never got. A great parental situation with a mother and father who love her very much, a much better starting relationship with Defiant (apologies for the tangent, but I have to wonder about his namechange here. He becomes Defiant in defiance of Mannequin's assertions that he'd fit right in with the S9 here, maybe he becomes defiant to Skitter here? Their antagonistic relationship culminating in him hunting her to atone for his interpersonal failures? In a twisted way, he made her who she was by driving her towards villainy, and therefore, towards the Slaughterhouse.)

Taylor also nets Skitter's friends who find their relationship with her a lot less antagonistic and complicated than their relationship with Skitter, though as the clone notes, it's a bland and stunted relationship. It exists only in comparison to Skitter, the 'real deal', who they've turned their backs on, yet remain obsessed with, especially Tattletale.

Taylor gets to keep being Taylor, with a face and a human body that doesn't have to eat raw meat, doesn't have to feel her organs shifting to make way for the phantom bugs that Skitter once had crawling around inside her. Taylor gets to have a much safer issue with her body, learning how to use her prosthesis, which is of course built by the two best tinkers in the world.

Taylor gets to be the innocent kid that Skitter threw away when she killed her father. Or when she became a warlord. Or when she cut out Lung's eyes. Or when she met him in the first place, putting on her mask to escape her life into cape fantasy only to slam face first into cape reality. It's ironic here too, because you know Skitter also feels bitter about Taylor saving the world during Gold Morning with her Bonesaw Khepri, but compared to Skitter, I think the vast majority of capes probably think of Khepri as the bigger threat, the more monstrous violation. But I think that matters very little to Skitter. Where Taylor saved the world and forced everyone to work together, Skitter was cornered and attacked pretty much immediately after GM, violating the second chances everyone else, including Taylor, got, landing her in prison for defending herself from literal nobodies, meaningless to Skitter and the text itself (unless Chartic kicks me in the spine and we find out part of the group who wanted her dead was Rachel or something and she kills her :(

Every single time Skitter thinks about her, I could taste the bitterness coming towards me in waves. How dare she have living and loving parents? Doesn't she know what the real Taylor sacrificed? How dare she steal her friends from her. If they really loved Skitter then why are they playing pretend with Taylor? It comes right back around to Defiant too. Oh, so he's going to advocate for her and protect her, when he hunted her ruthlessly before, but only now that her power is collared and she's on an extremely harsh probation? Does he see his daughter in Skitter or does he see his parolee in Taylor? Ditto for Dragon. Tattletale told her to kill herself, and then spends every moment we see her in the text obsessing over Skitter's movements and actions, staying one step ahead of her at every moment, sending Imp because even if Taylor found out that Tattletale didn't trust her, Imp could simply activate her power and Taylor would forget that Tattletale ever betrayed her. It's not a breach of trust if they don't remember it, and it's for her own good (sarcasm).

And now even her precious memories, her lived experiences, are being bled into Taylor. Stolen, to quote Skitter. It's horrifying for Skitter. It brings those final lines of chapter 11 into clarity; if Taylor thinks she's still a good person, deep down, but Skitter doesn't believe that, when they both now share those experiences, then who's right? The real or the Spare?

Edit: Oh shit I almost forgot about Chitter. Isn't it wild that even the echidna clone/bonesaw clone of Skitter has friends and a life? People value her life and don't see her as disposable fodder? Skitter meanwhile has probation officers who are very mad she didn't call for help when the vengeful murder squad rolled in. Bet you that stings too.

Severed - Worm Fanfiction Review

CW: Suicide and canon typical gore.

I don't think I've so eagerly anticipated an imaginary and, likely unwritten at the time of this post, scene in fanfiction than @heyitschartic's Severed. I've been following this series since it was posted three years ago. I'll avoid spoilers and the scene I'm imagining in question will be under the cut, but the basic premise is that Jack Slash chooses Skitter as his nominee during the Slaughterhouse 9 arc, rather than Oni Lee, who was disappointing, and Golem, who he later contrived the entire S9k arc for.

I will say that this work is a beautiful plunge into What Ifs which look all the more horrifying if you compare them against canon. You get flashback snippets of the S9 arc retold from a few perspectives before being thrust into post-GM, maybe pre-Ward? era with modern Skitter. I can certainly say that Severed blows all other S9!Taylors out of the water, Taylor is authentic in ways I haven't seen with anyone else. 10/10, each chapter is at it's absolute peak and it has 11 chapters as of this post. Each gut-punch has me anticipating the next chapter, only for the next chapter to explain why Taylor's friends and enemies hate her so much. I gasped when Tattletale said that to her. I strongly recommend Severed to anyone and everyone who hasn't already read it yet. Here's the link:

Oh wait does this count as the first of my Worm fanfic reviews--

So, I've read chapter 11 and I've been having Taylor and her clone rotating in my head endlessly, but the scene I'm anticipating is the one hinted at in Chapter where Defiant wants Taylor to go under the knife with Bonesaw again so Riley can fix all of Taylor's everything that is physically wrong with her, because her body is practically bio-tinkertech, even after they ripped almost everything else out.

I can only imagine Taylor reiterating that she refuses to be put under for the procedure, and using every moment to vent her anger and frustration on a Riley that is likely seeing marked improvement in her therapy (maybe). But Taylor keeps hitting her with blow after blow. "They'll never let you work on anyone else ever again, so you had better not kill me." and "Nobody will ever let you willingly touch them, I'm the only one who you can use your tinker abilities on, and that can change if I don't need you anymore." "If you ever find someone you can trick into letting you touch them, hold them, or even work on them, I'll kill them. It'd be better than the fate worse than death that letting you touch someone inflicts, and I should know, I'm living through it."

Maybe Chartic has something else planned, but I would like to see this Bonesaw cry. An unshakable, unmoved Taylor just heaps on the abuse through her own tears of pain, holding Riley hostage even as she roots through her guts to put her back together. It's very Taylor to fight through pain to force people to help her. The last time they saw each-other, Riley was doing well. I don't think she'll be doing very well after they meet again.

Maybe an overseeing team of surgeons and Capes become increasingly uncomfortable as Riley is tormented. They find themselves defending Bonesaw of all people, from one of her former victims too.

I'm sorry if this is unsolicited Chartic, but I can't wait to see their reunion, whatever form it takes. Severed's way of making Taylor suffer the consequences of her own actions, while invoking sympathy simultaneously with disgust at Taylor's betrayals; the depths she's sunken to, and then to finally wrap it up with shame and admonishment of her friends, turned victims, is masterful. How dare either they or I judge her for what she had to do to survive. Each chapter reveals that it got worse and worse. At some point, I suspect that (one of) the reasons that Taylor is being given such little leeway by the rest of the cast and remains constantly under the threat of harsh re-imprisonment or execution by vengeful kill-teams is because she somehow became the worst member of the Slaughterhouse Nine or even surpassed them in notoriety.

Tattletale telling Skitter to kill herself was such an insane scene that I stood up and covered my mouth. I was in disbelief. But knowing now that Skitter had betrayed the Undersiders to a slaughter by Mannequin (after having sacrificed her own father and, essentially, her own pre-cape life and innocence with him. The Taylor that she did not want to be, embracing the Skitter she chose to become) and then at some point caused the remainder of the Livsey family to kill themselves the same way Reggie did, with gunshot wounds, really clarifies that Taylor did something unforgivable. She exploited her friendship with Lisa to injure her in a way that can never be repaired. Lisa in canon never really had much to do with her parents ever again, but she probably didn't want them dead for neglecting Reggie.

I may edit this later, or reblog it, as new thoughts on the work come to me.
