Mind Flayers - the most dangerous Aliens

In the heart of the Mind Flayer city, nestled among the ashen cliffs, stood the grand Hive House. Its walls, woven from the finest strands of Mind Flayer fur, shimmered in the pale light of the dwarf star sun. Within its honeycomb chambers, the Mind Flayers thrived, their delicate larvae cocooned in hexagonal cells.

Meet Zara, a mischievous young Mind Flayer with fur as silver as stardust. Zara loved to explore the city's nooks and crannies, her long hairs trailing behind her like comet tails…

my piece for @inthelittlezine! Martyn's Last Life pov 🔛🔝

[spacetimesucks]

'For one of the primary purposes of [the Clone Wars] was to brutalize the population of the galaxy... This war has to be more destructive, more chaotic, more disruptive, and more horrifying than they could have believed... Civilians had to die in huge numbers on besieged worlds. Property had to be destroyed. Economies had to collapse. Planets had to starve... Because when Palpatine was ready to bring about the end of the conflict, both populations had to be so desperate for that moment that they would gratefully embrace peace. They must be so grateful that they would not care about the price it came at or what was traded away to achieve it.'

The giga Game Freak leak has definitely made me feel something, but somehow out of everything the last thing I was expecting was to get blasted with Cyrus lore.

Not only do we find out about his family (wealthier family where he possibly has younger siblings, given he's stated as the oldest), where we find out he's autistic (unsurprisingly), but then we get a full page of Cyrus lore, of his past, of how he became who he is, and how his emotions seem to be masked by a lack of the very thing.

I genuinely was more expecting to see more Giovanni lore, or even Ghetsis lore. Somehow I didn't expect Cyrus of all the villains to have an entire page of lore for his story in the games.

I'll include the image below, if the text is choppy I'd suggest saving it to your phone, or whatever device you're using, and it should be clear, though I'm pretty sure like 5 other people have shared it. But, read if you'd like to, though I apologize if my own mutterings above are a little inaccurate to the lore.

cyrus's lore also makes me mildly sad so that's fun ough

are you gonna draw more of rajani? Cuz i love reading about peoples spore lore/chaaracters!!

Hi!! Thanks for the ask right away

I can't promise regular Rajaniposting because what fanworks I do heavily depends on what I'm fixated on a the moment/if I'm working on my own oc projects bwahaha

BUT I do doodle them sometimes still!

Their lore isn't too complex btw, its mostly based on what I experienced with them gameplaywise, adding on some story elements in my head for fun.

Rajani is a zealot empire leader that started out as a relatively normal space explorer (as much as a zealot can be normal ig) until they learned about the existence of the Grox. In a. Rather very rough way (Yknow that one galactic adventure "Infestation"? Well he had to get that cyborg eye somewhere)

And he went downhill from there basically! :-D *tada* Huge ego and god complex issues are not a good mix with being hellbent on a mission of destroying the half-machine pests from the galaxy's center, so

Instead of being a normal, peaceful, civilized being, Rajani cooked up a plan to fight his way to the core, expand his empire even at the cost of other ones, ally the Grox to get easy enlightment at the core for himself... And backstab them a second later and go on to destroy all of them! :-D

He's a terrible person that thinks he's some sort of wrongfully hated saviour of galaxy that needed all that power to stand up to the collective enemy, not really caring that well, he is just taking the place of the Grox he swore to destroy. I hate their guts a lot </3

Also, Scrolls of Faith from the game mention that one silly figure of "The God That Will Come"?

(screenshot from the spore wiki)

Well I like to think that this is what Rajani basically becomes (not the literal god that the other archetypes mention, but could see himself from that lense of his religion's interpretation), someone who warped his faith so bad while gaining so much recognizability that he's left as just such a bad parody of what he was supposed to stand for and his beloved Spode

if he realizes that then he deserves all the mental damage of not being able to turn back x10 I think

THE GALACTIC DIGITAL SPACE CIRCUS Cast 4/14

Outer Gangle: She is the nervous one in the circus group, as she sometimes be having trouble with her masks always breaking and be a bit of a downer to others as she tries to be happy but would be sad once her mask breaks. Though after a while, the others would help Gangle with her issue and try talking with her a bit more, asking on how she is doing and that she is okay for who she is. Even Jax agree to help on with a hand or two as at times he likes to mess around with her but then stopped as to just help her out more of herself. Which Gangle did enjoy the help that she could get as she learned not to need a happy mask at all, rather she can be happy no matter what, with or without the mask. Now she goes on to the adventures with a calm vibe and also be wearing some cool outfits that were gifted by Caine as she admired the style and also her hair. She isn't very shy and always be there to talk more with others and also with Pomni about their day or possible any issues they might try and fix.

The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire by Dr. Chris Kempshall

[catfur-and-greenscales]

- Different Jedi temples and what they tell about the Jedi -

The acolyte is presenting to us a different group that uses the Force. Many seems to be outraged by them, but I think it is cool.

It is only natural that in a galaxy where Force excists, there are different ways and approaches.

In canon, there are places where naturally or by occurance, the dark or the light side are stronger. And those places were attracting the attention of those who are strong in the Force. My suspection is that the Templea are built on those spots. And this way, they are older than the Jedi order. The Force itself is eternal. The Jedi came after it.

The early Jedi are still little known in canon. But another natural thing is that the cultures are changing along the time passing. If they do not adapt into the changes, they dissappear. Like the morning mist.

This change was happening to the Jedi order too. It had happened earlier - the split between the Sith and the Jedi can be seen as one.

The Lothal Temple, Jedha and others are signs of the Jedi changing.

The very nature of the Jedi has changed. The small temples all around the Galaxy were meant to be stations for the Jedi. Them staying there and doing their duty: protect the people of the Republic. Being part of their community, rising their young, and really protecting the locals. But their number had dwindled and they no longer were capable of do the similar tasks that they had been doing earlier.

But as the Jedi were desperately trying to stay in the center of Power, Coruscant, they did abandon the rest of the Galaxy.

This is how the Jedi had become myth even when they excisted. And when they were finally wiped out by the Sith they become a legend.

Something that was not real. A story.

Perhaps the Jedi become too attached on themselves.

Maybe it really was the time for the Jedi to come to an end. Maybe it was time for the Jedi to be reborn.
