Well...That Esclated Quickly

Here is another idea that came to me during my walk to work.  I want you to know, though it goes in a humorous direction it really is not a full fix-it. 

When Order 66 went live, some of the chips did not activate. There is no rhyme nor reason as to which chips activate and which did not. Not a huge amount compared to the whole, but some. Enough that a few hundred Jedi and a Few thousand Clones regroup in the aftermath. 

While you can fill in most of the blanks the following are included in my idea

Obi Wan Kenobi and a company’s worth of 212th clones, including Cody: Obi Wan was still shot off the cliff, to the horrified eyes of the still free clones. The still free clones don't have enough numbers to take on their brethren who appear to have gone insane, but do have enough to steal one of the midsized transport ships, one capable of hyperspace flight.  They reluctantly allow Obi Wan to go to Coruscant on his own, with the rationale that one person can sneak to the surface much easier than a whole company, while the clones establish a regroup point.  From there Obi Wan goes on the Mustafar, which ends as it did in canon. Obi Wan brings Padme to the transport ship where she still dies of complications of her pregnancy

Fox, Hound, a dozen other members of the CG, and the Younglings: Fox and the few members of the CG that were unaffected by O66 raced to beat the 501st to the Temple. They made it just a few minutes before their enslaved brothers. Just barely in time to evacuate the children in the creche with the help (and insistent sacrifice) of the adult Jedi.  While there were a few Creche Masters evacuated with the children, it was now basically just Fox and his CG functionally in charge of baby Jedi ranging from Babies to Pre teens. They connect with remains of the 212th before the events of Mustafar. 

Yoda, who did still have to kill his commander in order to escape, but was able to bring a few clones with him.  They still end up being collected by Bail Organa.

Ahsoka, Rex, Jesse and  a portion of the maintenance team for their battalion: They do not meet up with the rest for quite some time (at least three years). Rex’s chip did activate but he was able to get Ahsoka the message about Fives. After Rex is freed they find Jesse and the other free clones (soft shells all) looking on in horror at their controlled brethren. With the help of the maintenance team they are able to escape from the ship without freeing Maul or crashing into the moon.  By the time they are able to look past the immediate situation, the Temple is already burning and it has been announced that the Jedi are traitors. These 25 or so go to ground in Mandalorian space and try to figure out how to free the clones from the chips (beyond surgery which really does not work with the numbers they have to deal with). They do not realize anyone else has survived. 

Aayla survived, due to one of the clones (not Bly) pushing her out of the way and sacrificing his life for her. Bly’s chip does work. She escapes with two dozen free clones and six chipped clones tied up in the back (Including Bly, even the clones agree they cannot save everyone and hopefully it means that they can figure out what is going wrong).

Shaak Ti, 10 Veteran clones, 40 ‘Shinies’, 300 child and teenage cadets, three junior Kaminoan Scientists (not Nala Se) none of which knew about the chip or Order 66, and Omega.  Shaak Ti had been working with a few Kaminoan Scientists to see the clones as sentients in their own right and the reactions of the clones under the chip's control horrified a few of those scientists.  Between them and Omega, who had been paying attention and used this as a chance to escape the lab (the Bad Batch being off planet at the time) they were able to evacuate anyone not under the control of the chip. 

All of these people (Barring Ahsoka and Co) converge on the ship that had been stolen by the free 212th clones. Had less children survived (about a third of the living Jedi are children under the age of 11, plus the cadets) they all would likely have split into small groups and made their own way through the galaxy. But there was just no way to break into small enough groups to be safe AND still make sure the children (and to some extent the Shinies) were taken care of.  They were also too large a group to go anywhere in the Republic, or even anywhere in Mandalorian space (There were an awful lot of uninhabited planets in the galaxy but most were uninhabited for a reason). Thus there was only one thing they could do.

Take over the Hutt Empire.

To be fair the take over part did start out accidentally. The actual goal was to find a place to lay low in the Hutt Empire, possibly the only place Palpatine’s Empire could not reach quite yet(at least until Palpatine solidified his rule). 

So they found a planet within the Hutt Empire to lay low on, While Bail Organa left to begin planting the seeds for the rebellion (No Leia as the twins were not being split up). As much as I want it to be Tattoine, it just has too small a population to not have a couple of thousand people (Most of whom hide their very distinctive faces) showing not be noticeable. So they choose a planet with a higher population. 

This is where the trouble began. All of our adults are deeply traumatized, trained warriors who are not used to sitting by, universally feeling useless. They are facing an insurmountable task, still mostly directionless, and deeply angry at life.  

It starts with the local Hutt’s minions trying to shake down some newcomers, who were not looking for a target to vent their spleen but found one just the same. It does not end well for the minions. Nor the next six attempts, with different groups of Clones and Jedi each time.  No one has told Command yet, but they look at each other and ‘shit we can’t keep drawing attention to ourselves but we can’t leave either’

The solution (Commander Cody himself would like to reiterate this was not the correct solution)? Take out the Hutt. Then they realize that taking out the Hutt has just drawn more attention to this city as the other Hutts for the planet try to figure out who took out this one.

The next Solution? Take out the rest of the Hutts on the planet. 

They have now drawn even more attention to the planet from yet more Hutts. This is the one thing that is critical they do not have. 

The next Solution? Try three to make this plan work (Commander Cody reminds you that trying the same thing over and over again, hoping for different results, is the definition of insanity) and take out the Hutts looking for answers. 

By the time that these small groups have admitted to Command (Obi Wan, Cody, Yoda, Shaak Ti, Fox) what is going on, a few months later, they have accidentally taken over the Hutt Empire.

The Hutt Empire that is still nominally allied with Palpatine’s Empire. The Hutt Empire that has to stay allied to Palpatine’s Empire if they do not want to draw the attention of the entire Imperial Forces to the largest concentration of living Jedi and free Clones in the galaxy.  The Hutt Empire that no longer has any active Hutts. 

In this the human centric leaning of Palpatine’s Empire is actually helpful.  They very rarely wanted to deal with other species, so it was easy to appoint someone unknown but human to deal with the com calls and visits. It does mean that they have to make up a Hutt that they essentially have to play ‘Weekend at Bernie’s’ with, a couple of times a year when a representative insists on meeting with the Hutt in charge. 

Also the fact that Palpatine’s Empire is more interested in enslaving their own citizens for free as opposed to buying them from the Hutts means that they can shut down the slave trade within Hutt Space (over time).  Fox both loves and hates running a criminal empire. 

It should be noted that, even with Bly and the five other chipped clones, no one actually knows what is going on until Rex and Co find their way back to them.  We are going with the thought that a level 5 atomic scan is a ludicrously high level of scanning. Like sitting on a Nuclear Reactor to get an X-Ray kind of ludicrous, so not only does no one think to do that level of scanning to see what is wrong, but they do not even have that kind of equipment readily available.  The reports about Fives from Rex never made it to any kind of centralized repository, there is no way to know why most clones suddenly started to kill Jedi. Bly and Co spend the three years before Rex shows up in a makeshift brig, they can function almost normally until a Jedi is brought up or in the room with them. 

Bail laughs his ass off when he is told, through several intermediaries and coded messages, that the Jedi and the Clones accidentally took over a criminal empire.  Then he starts funneling the Path and the people his rebellion are rescuing into Hutt Space to find the Jedi. 

Three years in Rex, Ahsoka, the clones with them (now having grown to nearly another thousand) arrive with the news that they can disable the chips from a distance of about a large cruiser. 

That is how the Hutt Empire became freedom fighters.

hot girl summer <<< Hutt girl summer

Hutt girl summer: you spend the summer sitting in your palace, eating what you want and hanging out with musicians and bounty hunters, and if someone says you're not hot, you can always feed them to your pet rancor

[letmethinkaboutitalittlelonger]

So I just read the Han Solo trilogy (it‘s rlly good, y‘all should read it) and afterwards I watched the og trilogy again (seamless, effortless transition, Ann C. Crispin is an absolute genious) it left me with 3ish revelations:

1. I‘m weirdly obsessed with the Hutts now and I love Jabba (he is stinky and evil and off his tits on Spice in Return of the Jedi, but that doesn‘t matter, he‘s a cutie and also maybe sorta in love with Han what I find hilarious)

2. If the og films had come out today Han would have been the most bisexual. Him and Lando definetly fucked at least once. Same goes for Mako Spince (rip). And all his lady friends in the books are absolutly amazing and I love them.

3. I am also absolutly obsessed with how much Luke, Leia and Han love each other in the films. They rescue Leia and are immediately ride or die for one another. Han wants to leave at least twice and he keeps coming back and they all save each other regularly and Luke always rushes to his friends aid and whenenver they reconviene they fall into each others arms and scream with excitement and it‘s so cute and I wish that was happening in any of the other Star Wars movies.

Like, I‘m 100% sure the Prequels AND the Sequels would be less hated if the main Cast had just hung out more and it was visible that they actually loved each other.

Each one of these girls is like wine. Pick your flavor!

[hetaliaminidoodles]

Hetalia au where everything's the same except the micronations physical age reflect sealand's age lol.

Let's call it the micronations ages make a bit more since AU /J

Like example

Sealand is physically 12-13 (hima said he designed sealand to look like he went up a grade so sealand may be like physically 13 or something lol) yet is one of the oldest besides seborga

In this au , almost everyone's physical age has now changed.

Information about the au under cut lol.

Sealand keeps his same cannon physical , same as seborga.

So sealand is 12 to 13 physically

That's cannon. He's the age that everyone else's are based around this AU. He's like the leader. Give him some kouhais' that look younger than him than some that look way older than him lol. He deserves it.

OK the other micronations, the ones we've been with and the newer ones that have just appeared

Seborga gets the same physical age

He's the only one of the micronations that looks and is physically older than sealand nation wise. He gets to keep his physical age lol. Some older teen hanging around some elementy and middle schoolers lol

Hutt is physically the same as sealand now

So he's physically 12

I mean their year of creations is only like 3 years apart. It wouldn't make sense if we wasn't at least the same physical age as sealand. I wish he was in Canon but even the nations in Canon don't understand the physical aging system.

This means kugelmugel's physical age gets to say the same.

His growth is still stunted, due to not technically being a micronation (same with Hutt river : they bond over that)

Molossia is now physically like 10 or so.

This is where the physical ages curve from sealand's physical age abit. I find it funny if molossia is younger than someone like kugelmugel , it's cute. Like this essentric kid is like older than him in everyway

( I'm just thinking of House Of Winter (A hetalia fangame) and how things would probably be the same way in that cannon , but just imagine kids around the same age fighting makes it a bit sadder)

Molossia's personality fits his in cannon physical age but I think it would be pretty interesting on him if we was physically 10.

Aerica is now physically 10 aswell

Him and molossia are only 10 years apart in a nation standpoin so it'd make sense that they'd be around the same age physically aswell.

Ladonia is physically 10

He acts like a 10 year old in cannon so I beleive he's like 10 or so physically as well. He's younger than sealand and mostly everyone else in micronations that have an appearance in hetalia

Wy is physically 8

Look at her. She's physically 8 in my opinion. That or 9.

Now onto the new microntions.

I know the joke is that slowjamastan is younger than wy but looks older but I think it would've been really cool if he looked like an 8 year old , simular to wy.

Slowjamastan was actually the inspiration for this au. I just want wy to be happy, give her someone that makes her look like a proper senpai.

Stomaria and domain are also 8 in this au. I understand why they're so "old in appearance" (alot of people seem to "know" what they're doing when making nations/HJ) but come on , the micronations are so much more younger than actual countries. It be cool if they were just kids or something lol.

Ha , seborga's like the designated babysitter of the group now.

[mushed-kid]

kinda painful to watch voltron knowing how it ends

[walkawaytall]

I think this is my hyperfixation for the day:

How that terrible added scene with Jabba from the 1997 special release of A New Hope ever-so-slightly detracts from your viewing experience of the original Star Wars Trilogy

Okay, so I admittedly first saw A New Hope in 1997 in theaters, so my first experience with the series involved the Horrifyingly Bad Jabba Scene (HBJS), but my parents had told me there was a new scene with computer graphics added, so even at nine years old, I was able to clock the addition from a mile away. And the VHS boxset my grandfather gave us later that year was from 1995, so I believe it was the original theatrical release version. Either way, it didn’t have the Jabba scene, so I basically saw the Jabba scene one time in theaters and then didn’t see it again for like twenty years, so I feel more like someone who saw the original theatrical releases kind of the whole time if that makes any kind of sense.

Aside from the HBJS adding nothing to A New Hope storywise and being visually repugnant, I have come to firmly believe that it also kind of ruins this small, subconscious part of the viewing experience when watching the original trilogy. Think about it: for two entire movies, your favorite smuggler is low-key worried about the fact that some thug named Jabba the Hutt wants him dead. You have no idea what this guy’s deal is, but you know Han Solo has 99 problems and probably at least 48 of them are related to Jabba. It’s not a major mystery. Like, I don’t think anyone was sitting on the edge of their seat to find out who Jabba was, but he is kind of a shadowy figure. His name is mentioned like once or twice in A New Hope and once in The Empire Strikes Back, but the effect of his looming presence is massive for our non-Luke main characters.

And then the introduction to him in Return of the Jedi involves kind of a mysterious build-up. The droids take for-freaking-ever to get to the palace, and as soon as the palace doors open, you are greeted with visual after visual that is viscerally repulsive but none of it is Jabba. You still don’t know what this Jabba’s deal is, but you know everything in his palace sort of looks like it’s covered in a light layer of snot, so you know you’re about to see someone or something pretty heinous. And then you finally see him, and he’s just as gross as all the build-up has led you believe, but there’s also a sort of, “Wait, this is the guy who’s been causing so much trouble for four years?!” It’s like…a little surprising to see him in person after so long just hearing about him.

It’s not anything crazy, but it is a very satisfying realization of, “Ohhhh, this is the guy we’ve been hearing about this whole time!”

And all of that subconscious suspension and possible surprise gets a little ruined when you’re slapped in the face with literally any version of this:

Does it ruin the movie? No. But I really like little surprising moments in media and I do feel like waiting until ROTJ to reveal Jabba is just a lot more fun than whatever the added scene contributes, and I do feel like its existence actively takes away a little bit of that fun.

Star Wars Crimson Empire II: Council of Blood #3 (1999) by Dave Dorman

[ospreyeamon]

All the SWTOR levels being designed for viewing from the third-person camera makes it feel like the galaxy is really into monumental architecture during this period of history. Which is … plausible?

The Sith Empire wanting to project grandeur and intimidation through all its public buildings, from military bases and factories to stations and government offices, would be very on brand for them. The hutts need their doorways to be at least 3x3m rather than standard humanoid scale and engage in self-aggrandising nonsense like solid-gold statues. The Alderaani nobility have clearly been sliding into dysfunctional decadence for a while, given the mess they’ve made of their planet.

So, the Great Houses of Alderaan built monumental country estates and museums, the hutts built monumental casinos and palaces, the Sith Empire built monumental temples and state offices, but that still leaves questions about other parts of the Republic. The Jedi Temple on Tython is explicitly of Alderaani architectural design so … huge light airy spaces are in fashion?

It might say something about the Republic’s problems with prioritising and corruption, if you wanted to look at it that way. On Coruscant, the Senate Rotunda is flush with gilded decorations, but parts of the ecumenpolis’ basic infrastructure down in the Works are still on fire after the Sacking. The recolonisation of Taris is a white elephant, with a bonus additional risk that the rakghoul plague will escape the planet through the increased traffic. Corellia’s “morale-building” museum of industry that its government built at great expense in the middle of an economic depression, instead of using the funds for any of the thousands of more sensible projects you could engage in during a depression. All those Senators accepting bribes from the Sith Empire (and the Migrant Merchants Guild, and Czerka, and-) would be the kind to greenlight fancy buildings to frequent at the expense of more effectively equitable projects.

Hetalia D&D 5e/Pathfinder 1e - Part 11 Micronations

I did a thing yesterday. Got on ChatGPT (I know bad mun) and made rough NPCs for my Pathfinder 1e game. And I used every core character from Hetalia. So, I shared with 3 Hetalia fans I follow and was told to share all of them if I did all of them. Which I did. So here we go.

Aerican Empire

Race: Human (for versatility and adaptability)

Classes:

Bard (3 levels) - To reflect the cultural richness and creativity of the Aerican Empire, a Bard would capture their artistic expression and leadership qualities. The Bard’s ability to inspire and influence others fits well with the themes of freedom and exploration, allowing them to rally allies.

Rogue (3 levels) - Representing the cunning, ambitious side of the Aerican Empire, a few levels in Rogue add skills like Stealth, Diplomacy, or Bluff. This highlights the sometimes shadier aspects of diplomacy and trade that are often associated with international relations.

Key Abilities: Dexterity, skills like Stealth, and the ability to gather information — perfect for a nation engaging in espionage or subterfuge.

Inquisitor (4 levels) - This class can represent the sense of justice and the desire to uphold freedoms, while also having the capability to pursue enemies of the state. The Inquisitor's class features align well with a character who seeks to expand influence while maintaining national values.

Hutt River

Race

Human (Variant/Custom): Hutt River is portrayed as a distinctive entity in Hetalia, which fits well with the notion of a Human who has unique traits or quirks. You may also consider the Half-Elf or Half-Orc if you want to reflect some of Hutt River's unique and independent spirit, but Humans certainly emphasize adaptability.

Classes

Bard (3 Levels) - The Bard class reflects Hutt River's charm and cunning negotiations for autonomy. Bards are charismatic and excel in social interactions, which fits Hutt River's character well.

Bardic Performance: Utilize abilities like "Inspire Courage" or "Fascinate" to reflect Hutt River's persuasive nature.

Rogue (2 Levels) - A couple of levels in Rogue add a sneaky, clever element to Hutt River, showcasing a quick wit and wisdom in navigating politics.

Skills: Maximize skills such as Diplomacy, Bluff, and Stealth to fit the idea of an independent and somewhat mischievous entity.

Rogue Talents: Consider the "Finesse" talent for a sophisticated touch.

Witch (4 Levels) - This class adds an unusual, mystical flair to Hutt River, as witches can represent the curious, sometimes eccentric nature of its character.

Curses: Curses could reflect the ‘penalties’ or challenges of independence; select ones that might play into the storyline.

Hexes: Choose hexes that emphasize charm or mischief, such as "Cackle" and "Vulnerability."

Character Level

Total Character Level: 9 (3 Bard / 2 Rogue / 4 Witch)

Persuasive - Increase the effectiveness of Diplomacy checks.

Description

Hutt River should be portrayed as a curious and diplomatic figure, perhaps appearing charming and well-spoken but with an undeniable edge of shrewdness and independence. They could wear eccentric and colorful attire that emphasizes their distinct identity, possibly with elements reminiscent of their political autonomy.

Role in the Campaign

As a charming intermediary or negotiator, Hutt River could serve as an ally or trickster within the political landscape of the game, providing quests that involve diplomacy, treachery, or even unexpected magical aid.

Kugelmugel NPC

Race: Human (or Construct using a custom template to represent his abstract nature - could be made from a combination of magic and mechanical constructs).

Classes:

Bard (3 Levels)

Archetype: Dirge Bard

Reasoning: The Bard class reflects Kugelmugel's role as a storyteller and entertainer. The Dirge Bard fits, as it adds a melancholic and whimsical element that aligns with the sometimes sad yet funny portrayal of nations in Hetalia.

Spellbreaker (3 Levels)

Reasoning: The concept of Kugelmugel often involves the idea of a 'neutral' state, unbound by the typical conflicts between nations. A Spellbreaker is a character who can counter powerful spells and showcase the versatility and resilience that Kugelmugel embodies.

Witch (3 Levels)

Patron: Abstract Patron (custom patron representing the whimsical and odd nature of Kugelmugel)

Reasoning: The Witch class represents a connection to magic and the more peculiar aspects of Kugelmugel's existence. The abstract nature of the patron aligns with the concept of a nation that exists outside of traditional boundaries.
