I love when the Force is an inexorable part of a Jedi’s POV I love when you can’t ignore Jedi are Jedi

You said music is very inspiring for you. Are there other things, that trigger ideas in you? Or inspire you to write? :)

Ohhh, good one. Thank you for that, I hope you brought time 😉

While music will always be the Alpha and the Omega for my inspiration (Shoutout to Hall & Oats, it’s always Thursday in space!) and the reason Tales of Taskforce Sol and I Became War For You actually exists, thinking about it just made me realize how many sources of inspiration I have.

Of course there’s the self-explanatory ones like things one experienced himself (visiting cities for example) or historical events, they’ll do their part. I do have a Corona-Virus Chapter for example.

Canon (Legends in Star Wars, all of them when it comes to Sailor Moon) and nods to it, are a big part as well. As well as headcanons (shoutout to @sailorheadcanons, the idea that some of the Senshi are not purely Japanese came from some HCs over there).

Then there’s fan art, from outfits to scenes they are one of my main sources as well. A beautiful piece of art I came upon lately for example inspirated me for the outline of the ending of Sequel Number Two.

Reading also inspires me a lot, as apart from the obvious Star Wars Legends Characters and Worldbuilding (thanks Wookieepedia as well!) a book can also spark an idea. The Rago Arc for example was very much inspired from a scene in the Corellian Trilogy books. Writing per se gets a lot of inspiration from fanfiction as well. I do get motivation to write from Poseidon’s Bounty for example.

I do have a Muse (actually two but i only talk about one) as well. I draw a lot of the sensuality and divinity of one of the female main characters from a certain Italian Diva in her younger years and she definitely will be the archetype for when there ever will be another sequel with middle-agged/ older characters.

Other Media (for example Games and Movies) have influence as well. I mean Sci-Fi per se has so many nods and even Cameos (Terminator or Saber Rider for example) in ToTFS. It’s also an Hommage to the whole Space-Western-Genre. But there’s more than that I draw from. Just lately i saw Tenet and there were some scenes I was like “Shit, I need stuff like that in IBWFY too”. Of course we already had lots of spy stuff and a nod to James Bond but the whole James Bond on Ampethamines Vibe of the movie catched me and I want to do another one. Although that chapter will see a different type of secret agent as our James Bond type hero will be a emerald-haired, 1,78cm tall Demigoddess with the body of a young Monica Bellucci and the Bond Girl will be a bearded antihero who’s way to unsubtle as spy but really good at blowing stuff up with superior fire power and turns our Jane Bond on not because he’s coming out of the sea in white speedos but with his talent as foster father in their little big defunctional family which also features two space lesbians, one of them an always cursing Brit who shares the same unhealthy drinking habits as bond boy. So, yeah. I do have tons of things I get inspiration from, and ToTFS is at least a love oath to music and two fandoms but probably even more and one to pop culture per se. Do I have fun putting all these sources together for my little, cracky Space-Opera-turned-Anti-War-Epos? Hell yeah!

omg hi Burryaga hi Bell

[ct-hardcase]

oh gee, avar. I’m sure there’s no other trio of jedi with a powerful atunement to the force and bonded to one another for the connection to be intuitive when facing a nameless down. surely there’s no other group in the order that did that

[ct-hardcase]

on one hand, I’m glad that TotF had Bell (one of the major secondary characters/protagonists of the other novels) have the Nameless Effect hit him hard, but on the other hand I miss him being as prevalent :(

[ct-hardcase]

wheeziiiing not the stripping of the 500 layers of jedi robes

[ct-hardcase]

I’m ngl Marc is doing a good job but hearing him inject that much emotion into Elzar’s PoV makes me feel like I’m interrupting something

[ct-hardcase]

Ghirra as-Hosnian-leader having her kid implore her to do the right thing and rejecting it based on her family’s safety? I’ve heard this song before

[ct-hardcase]

Cair San Tekka is def a favorite point of view

[ct-hardcase]

“First Jedi to kill one of the Nameless” damn, looks like this is set before the comics then? /j

[ct-hardcase]

Damn, Xylan kind of has a point though

[ct-hardcase]
