Bad hand (I need to make this digital once I'm free (help me they're keeping me captive to draw them old men yaoi)(send help))

[m00ngbin]

My biggest pet peeve is when people make the meme videos with the omori characters and they always make Kel out to be stupid. Like!!!! Strangling you with my mind. He's such a complex character and he is definitely not stupid. Stop making upbeat, silly characters out to be stupid. Omori fandom stop mischaracterizing Kel challenge GO

[scaryvbachelorettes]

❤︎ ⠀﹏Leah﹏ ❤︎

Cw; Stalking, obsessive behaviour, murder, blood and light descriptions of gore at the very end, fucked up bachelorettes, mentions of breaking in, scary art.

Leah moved her fingers carefully over the damp clay, her eyes concentrated. She couldn't sleep that night at all, her mind obsessively taking apart each detail of your face and putting it all together. Moon cast soft light down on the sharp contours of replication of your face. Her fist slammed against the table angrily as she combed clay into a shapeless ball. No. This wasn't your face. The clay was too soft, too sharp, too imperfect. Was her skill not enough to portray your beauty? No, she just had to put her whole soul into it. Her skill was enough, she was enough. 

Leah isn't one to be particularly aggressive. She is an artist, a supposedly fragile soul. 

Or she was, before Kel, the woman who made her second guess everything connected to romance. Was she too pushy? Was she too restrained? 

No matter how much she told herself she was better than her ex, she found herself spiraling slowly into the same twisted mindset. 

Farmer introduced to her first, daffodil in tact as a gift of a new acquaintance. Or so she thought, the farmer didn't specify why you gift things right after the introduction. 

Leah saw herself in farmer, the same lost and tired human wishing to find freedom in rural life. She only really talked to Eliot, even though people in Pelican Town were friendly, she still felt out of place. Like an imposter. Living at the outskirts of town didn't help either. 

Her house was situated on the way down from the farm which made farmer's visits more frequent. You hadn't realised how much happier Leah became as you started visiting her. 

She found herself glancing at the windows and waking up earlier and earlier until she lost her proper sleep schedule. Farmer woke up early in the morning to tend to the crops and she wanted to walk out of her home to meet you. 

At some point she realised that she could just meet you on your own farm! Or in your home. You never locked your doors, so she was basically invited. 

It wasn't surprising that Leah found more motivation to create art as you started talking. Each word, each bland syllable clinging to her mind like a parasite. It keeps her awake, recounting each small chuckle, each tone that accompanied the names of townsfolk. If you talked about another bachelorette with a little too much positive emotion, Leah would become weirdly quiet. Her eyes would have the same deep and weird look, the usual light in them sinking into the abyss of overthinking. 

The same abyss appeared when Kel had the audacity to appear before her front door. She had the guts to demand to be together again. Leah stood absent-mindedly, taking in the words with disinterest. 

Then Kel uttered your name, with such vile hiss that she tuned in immediately. Kel threatened you, threatened to hurt you for being so close to her. Her ex thought she would feel fear, that she would fold before Kel like all those times she did before. 

Kel, however, made a mistake. Leah wasn't the same kind-hearted artist she used to know. No. She was different, dangerous. Subtly, her fist clenched around the familiar sculpting hammer she used to carve an abstract sculpture for you. 

A satisfying crack hit her ears as wails of pain mixed deliciously with it. She was quick, precise. It was kind of artistic in a way, to carve someone terrible into a gory mess. 

Rain poured heavily as she stood before the end of the hill that sloped abruptly into the beach underneath. Her eyes looked off into the distance as she felt trembles in her hands. Unpleasant shivers raked down her spine as her wet shirt clung to her torso. Her eyes closed as she took in the chilly night air. 

"Leah!" rang out a familiar voice, the worried tone making her smile. She turned, looking at you with the softest gaze she could manage. There you were, umbrella in hand, running to her through the roaring rain. She felt a smile crease her lips, her chest tightening in a familiar warm feeling. 

Blazingly warm palm cupped her forehead, making heat bloom under the skin of her cheeks. She loved the feeling, it made her forget the roaring rain or coldness of her clothing. 

A spout of worried words left your lips but she didn't hear much. Her eyes were looking down at the waves that hit the rocky shoreline. A wet mass of red still clung to the rocks, a cluster of hair and blood mixed in terrifying amalgamation. A professional would easily recognize that the fall from the cliff wasn't enough to turn a human into a pile of meat and flesh. The townsfolk, however, wouldn't know better. An unfortunate accident, at least it wasn't anyone in town, right? Right. 

A.N; I have received some asks and rest assured I'm already working on them :]

[mozzaremi]

what if omori, but it's the basic au trope of main characters meeting later in life under different circumstances that every fandom has like:

Basil: Flowershop owner Aubrey: Tattoo artist Hero: Barista at a coffee shop (frequently bakes too) Kel: Professional basketball player Sunny: Art major Mari: Musician with a large online following

how they meet:

Sunny frequents the coffee shop that hero works at to do some live art studies of the shopgoers. Later sunny recommends the place to Mari, as he's very fond of the reasonable prices and the delicious goods. Mari takes notice of Hero and initiates some friendly banter with him and eventually she introduces him to sunny.

They meet up occasionally and have little get-togethers, Mari and Hero do the talking while sunny listens and idly doodles. Eventually Kel is informed about Hero's new friends and wants to tag along.

Maybe a few mounts after the initial meeting of the 4 of them, Mari is considering on getting a tattoo to celebrate her new single coming out. Boom, she meets aubrey, they chat together, both find eachother cool and likable, so they swap contacts. Another addition to the friend group.

Sunny being the little art nerd that he is, he ventures to a flower shop to sketch some of the flowers, and the florist of said shop takes notice of him and his sketching. Later on, basil is deemed cool by sunny and is added to the friend group aswell

FHJVN just trowing ideas into the air, feeling way too tired rn

|| reunion

KEL & the RUNAWAY !

"This is BOUND to be the greatest reunion EVER!" KEL exclaimed, his hands high up in the air as if victorious in a war. That aspect of him has never changed, as WENDY thinks. She lightly smiled at KEL, stealing glances at the crumpled paper in his hands.

This reunion that KEL was planning was for HERO and SUNNY. WENDY was the first to find out that KEL had this elaborate plan. Invite SUNNY before he moved away for good for a small, friendly reunion when HERO comes back from break. She knew that what he really wanted was for everyone to be reunited but it was unspoken and agreed upon that it would be a difficult to even get SUNNY back. WENDY knew that best, after all.

KEL pulls her over as they sat comfortably on the grass. She leaned in closely to overlook just what exactly KEL wanted to buy. Of course his handwriting was less than legible but she tried to make it work with what eyes she had.

"You're going to buy a gift for HERO?" WENDY smiled at the thought.

KEL grinned as well, "With SUNNY!"

It was a nice gesture. It seems like WENDY had her hands full with this one. She was going to have to find a way to convince SUNNY to open that door tomorrow. For the sake of KEL and HERO's smile, she wanted SUNNY to join him.

"Say, do you wanna come with us, WENDY?" He shrugged after, "You don't have too."

WENDY really wanted to. Like REAAALLLYY wanted to. But it would be awkward for KEL to see her at SUNNY's house. It would probably be best if she did her own shopping and errands and just meet at KEL's when it was time.

KEL could see from the silence that she was being apologetic and lightly hit her back with another winning smile. "Don't sweat it! Just be there to say hi to HERO okay?"

"Of course!"

Suddenly, the peaceful atmosphere was royally ruined by the loud sounds of a few sirens nearby. Seeing as her face (although years younger than she was now) was plastered around via missing poster, she thought it'd be best if she left early. She stood up to scope out the commotion before patting KEL's head and leaving off to SUNNY's.

WOOHOO! I wanted to finish this quickly because i love them so much. I'm really proud of this! Sorry if the writing was a bit dry, I'm a bit rusty in the writing department but thank you for reading if you made it this far!

I kept my drawing style this time a bit similar to how I usually mimic omori. I wanted to do my usual style outside of omori but I really like how the omori style does hair and eyes so I kept it that way.

KEL POV YAHH !

[some-mari-thoughts]

im ootl, whats up with the manga? i havent been reading

Nice! Probably its best u dont

From ok to bad:

Events have been rearranged to unknown extent to adapt to faster pace.

We start with the christmas memory dream instead of headspace, and we are introduced to everyone that way. The dream is very very short.

We then go to start 3 days left skipping the phobia fight for its unneeded at this point, and see kel, basil and aubrey (no mention of their friend groups)

Sunny freaks out and leaves to white space right upon ending Aubrey fight (after seeing a photo of Mari) and thats where we meet mari properly

That said, Mari. In the dream/memory she is introduced via visual horror, stress rising as soon as she comes into frame and when we see her face it is already kinda terrifying! Her name and sight alone continues to scare sunny into panic for the entirety of chapter. Almost as if he is scared of her rather than anything else

We dont feel any easier as we meet Dream Mari either because she sneakily guilt trips us about taking too long and making her wait

Sunny is treated a bit better but he is freaking out almost the entire time we see him and his reactions seem a bit misplaced. I am also pretty sure he doesn't even get to throw up the steak. He does get several gay tension moments which shippers are extatic about but for me doesnt make it literally any at all better or easier. Just raises my brow higher. Seems like its the only place where manga will have any success. The sunburn lovers are also happy bc in the dreamworld omori gets to help aubrey out instead of kel

Other events have been slightly changed. We start with not seeing any of the hooligans which leaves us with aubrey alone. So she alone is doing a lot more bullying than she originally was doing. Then she also focuses on bullying sunny alone and verbally hitting where it'll hurt, also reminding him that mari is dead here instead of church (which causes him to collapse and then slice her with the knife)

What does not help is the artist consistently fails to make a good line of motion or guide the viewers eye where it needs to go, so 90% of people will first miss that 1 - aubrey doesnt hit basil in the head with her bat, but trips him instead; 2 - she then seemingly misses at kel and aims to hit sunny straight across with the bat; 3 - Easily missable detail that sunny stops freaking out as he handles the knife, either bc of smth abt him or bc of omori (unclear, sunny is the one drawn there), 4 - Sunny looks like he is trying to kill Aubrey; 5 - Unclear who is panicking and thinking "no" as Sunny readies the knife

The manga is not at all beginner friendly and in theory can only be enjoyed by a member of the fandom. Well. It fails at that too bc only very specific ppl will be actually happy abt this retelling. (Shippers. And another subset of ppl who are there for different reasons)

The artstyle is making anyone with good internet background tense and for good reason too (shotacon/CP classic artstyle) People have spoken out about more evidence to the manga's artist drawing messed up things (including for OMORI fandom) not too long ago. Omocat's rep is once again in shambles and i cant and wont defend her til we get a goddamn good explanation

[acacia-may]

So…it’s no secret I am a little bit feral about Kelbrey (it’s an ongoing struggle), so here’s some unsolicited baseball bat thoughts:

After everything that happened before and during the course of OMORI, would Kel and especially Aubrey most likely have a better chance at a healthy, functional romantic relationship if they just paired off with random people who aren’t entangled in the trauma and/or that we aren’t introduced to in the game than with each other? Probably.

But…there’s just something about the idea of them together.

Yes, they bicker and banter and they don’t always see eye to eye, and it’s easy to see them as just a hot-head and goofball who butt heads. But I think underlying all of that is a genuine affection and friendship. They do have a respect and admiration for each other and their differences. Kel admires that Aubrey is strong, honest, and brave. He clashes with her stubbornness, but ultimately I think he respects that she is unafraid to speak her mind and to stick up for what’s important to her and admires that she doesn’t care what anybody thinks about her. Meanwhile, Aubrey admires that Kel is big-hearted, generous, resilient, and loyal. His incessant talking and constant energy can annoy her at times, but she genuinely admires his ability to see the good in people and look on the bright side and respects how outgoing and friendly he is and how easy it is for him to build others up.

They went through an (understandably) very rough time in their relationship, but it seems (at least in my interpretation) more hurt than angry, as if they are both more upset about the loss of their friendship which was so important to them than they are actually mad at each other. This is only made more obvious by how they manage to reach an understanding and start to rebuild that friendship within just a couple of days after (presumably) years of a strained relationship.

If they continue to rebuild their friendship and communicate with each other, I could imagine their relationship and understanding deepening, perhaps even becoming something more than friendship. And because I do think that friendship is built on a strong basis of mutual respect and admiration, I think (at least under these specific circumstances) a romantic relationship between them could be healthy and functional too. Kel could encourage Aubrey to have fun every now and again whereas Aubrey could encourage Kel to be a little more serious when the situation called for it. I can imagine that she’d tell him it’s okay for him to express his feelings (even the negative ones) and promise she’d never judge him for it and would always care about him regardless of how he felt, and he’d make her laugh on her worst days and promise her he’d always be there for her. I can see them really, genuinely supporting each other even if they liked to tease and banter with each other too.

At the end of the day, I think because of their deep friendship, Kel and Aubrey could really have the kind of relationship where they truly know and understand each other—really see both the strengths and weaknesses in each other without any idealism or misgivings—but choose each other and choose to love each other in spite of or, in some ways, perhaps even because of all that. 🩷🧡

[crowdeerdire]

(for the sake of my brain I'm gonna yap about my OLBA MC in Step 1) Name: Kelsea "Kel" Last Age: 8 Birthday: August 29th Family: Pam Last (Mom), Noelani Last (Mommy) and Liz Last (Sister) Others: Cove Holden (Best Friend), Cliff Holden (Cove's Dad -> trusts later in Step 1), Shiloh Fields (Friend)

Confident at this age and fearless

Considered a "wild child" and often times a bit clumsey, thus the bandages and bruises

loves bugs; will see how man pill bugs she can collect on her hands at one time

thinks snails are super cool

bedhead 24/7 because she wants to be outside rather then take time to brush her hair

tends to wear oversized shirts from thrift stores because of her "wild child" ways. She climbs everything and tends to ruin clothes - so no fancy clothes like Liz unless they're going somewhere special

she loves her oversized shirts

always cold - touch her hands or arms and they're ice cold

just bad circulation and it usually doesn't bother her unless she has to handle something cold

thank goodness for hot weather california

protective and tries to stand up for others

has freckles at this age - although light. They fade as she gets older

Loves animals and wants a pet... anything! Upset that both moms say no

You would think at school she would be popular...

has 0 friends

becomes very shy around a lot of people and other kids think of her as the 'weird kid' since she's often alone drawing and playing with bugs or being too shy to talk

BUT ONCE SHE'S COMFORTABLE WITH YOU??

certified yapper

does not shut up

undiagonosed ADHD

loves the ocrean and is a strong swimmer because that's mostly what she does in there

shell & sea glass collector

UNFORTUNATELY she can't tan?? (genetics) and she tends to burn more often then not? So she learns early to apply sunscreen a lot

Scar on her leg is from falling out of a tree at age 7 and getting a branch skewered through her leg :)))

likes video games but are terrible at them - still plays them tho

Kel with Cove

Same height as Cove

first reaction upon seeing him on the hill: "I need to protect him"

says she wants to marry him to moms but doesn't understand really what marriage is. Just thinks it means hanging out with them a lot (which is sort of true??)

Plays as Fond (in game) but I would say she has a mild crush on him as well

grows attach to him quickly because Liz has Shiloh, so obviously Cove gets to be her friend

Somehow feels relaxed around him easier and quicker then others

She yaps, he listens... and then they yap together

offended he doesn't love snails as much as she does

Will be protective of him except...

When it comes to scary stuff (like ghosts) she'll hide behind him, claiming she's not scared

tries not to swim or suggest swimming when she hangs out with him during that summer - doesn't want him to feel left out since she knows what that feels like

ran away with him because she needed to protect him (not thinking of telling parents would protect him) and didn't want him to be alone

Kel with Liz

Tends to deffer to her and let her take the lead

Has a generally good relationship with her but it's starting to get a bit rocky

especially when she starts standing up for Cove more against Liz

wants to hang out with Liz more "like they use to", but Liz is starting to be more independent since she's double digits now <- mourns that loss of friendship

teases each other in a friendly way

Kel with Moms

Kel loves her moms dearly (very good relationship)

for the longest time doesn't even think about if it's 'weird' to have two moms and no dad

doesn't cross her mind until some kid at school mentions it

honestly believes at this age her moms are her birth parents - doesn't put two and two together for a while even tho they are open about it

cuddler, especially with Noelani/Mommy

loves Mom/Pam's puns and tries to joke like her

if moms are around she tends to follow their rules

if moms aren't around, the wild child becomes MORE wild

gets worse when she and Cove hang out and egg each other on

Kel with Cliff

After Cliff offers her the 20$, she becomes nervous around him for the first while

won't look up at him or really speak to him

eventually she warms up to him the more he hangs around and at some point thinks of him as someone she can really trusts

honestly thinks of him as family (maybe further down)

will draw him pictures when she's more comfortable with him and he puts them on his fridge along with Cove's work

Goldrush Rambles (try #2)

Wanna try rehashing my thoughts on Goldrush (Kel x Mikhael) again, since I feel like I didn't do a great job the first time. It's gonna be mostly headcanon stuff, since there isn't that much about Mikhael in game, so I hope that's okay, hehe! Before we get into things, I wanna say why I like this ship, since it kinda leads into my thoughts on the two. My favorite ships in Omori so far are this one, Sunflower (Sunny x Basil), and whatever the name for Kim and Aubrey's ship is, because, in my mind, all three can have vibes of healing through each other/healing together. I could go on a entirely separate tangent about this, but I don't want this post to get too cluttered, heh. (text wall under the cut)

So, my thoughts on Kel and Mikhael and why I think their ship is neat. In my mind, they have equal but opposite family issues. Kel's is easier to describe, I think he would suffer from being a middle sibling. He's not the "successful" older brother going off to college. He's not the brand new little sister. (Though I feel like even before Sally was born, Kel probably wasn't the focus of attention.) I'm not trying to say I think Kel's parents are outright neglectful, I just think he'd find himself/his achievements put off to the side when compared to his siblings. On the other hand, where I think Kel wouldn't get much attention from family, one of the things we know about Mikhael is that he does. His parents hope he'll stick with tradition and stay with the family bakery. His sibligns too, who also seem to enjoy pestering him (though I doubt this is malicious). And so in turn, Mikhael has sworn off the bakery and familial expectations, he tries to be his unique and cool and special to stand out as his own person. The Maverick.

But The Maverick is just a facade. A front. And this is where I like the idea of their shipping dynamic! Because it's clear Mikhael is jealous of Kel. He's cool, athletic, sociable and friendly. Mikhael has probably put Kel on a pedestal of what he wishes he was, and that's why he claims they're rivals. So, for their ship dynamic, I really like the idea of them being able to fill the other's need. Mikhael could provide the attention and hype that Kel isn't getting. And Kel could be the one to see Mikhael for who he really is as a person, and support him accordingly. It doesn't necessarily need to be a romantic ship, but that's what I deal in so shhh. I really do like the idea of the two boys growing closer over time. Like, the thought of Mikhael getting to a point where he feels comfortable without needing the wig or persona around Kel specifically, progressing to him eventually being comfortable being himself around others because of Kel's support and encouragement? And in return, Kel has a goofy, clingy, sorta obnoxious (endearingly), secretly nerdy person to spend time around, an in to a new friend group (and maybe some reconciliation with Aubrey, because the real world segments of the game felt rushed >:/) because I'm worried about just how lonely Kel must've been during the years Sunny was gone/his old friend group fell apart.

Also, only sorta related to their dynamic but: short Mikhael (at the very least shorter than Kel). I really adore the idea of Mikhael having to practically climb his dumb, beanpole of a boyfriend just to give him a kiss, where Kel could just lean down a little to kiss him on the top of his head. Mikhael would be absolutely infuriated by this. You understand my vision, yes?

[faraway-sunshine]

About me.

So, who am I even? That's a question even I don't know the answer to all the time. But I'll try.

My name's Sunny Haruki Kanemaru. I'm 16, but I'm in sophomore year because I home schooled myself for almost four years and need to get used to being around people before the SATs.

I used to live in a country town, but I moved to the city last June.

Currently I live with my mom and a retired greyhound that has no name. We're fostering the dog as Mom's boss is trying to find a new owner and can't keep him at his place in the meantime.

I have friends, which are in another post. My oldest friends are Kel, his brother Hero, Aubrey, and Basil. Then I have the Strays, which is a band I met in the city; they have four other members (Eddie, Davey, Kit and Grizz). They can't choose between being called the Fleabitten Strays or the Wayward Strays so so far we go by The Undecided Strays (or just 'the strays').

Kit's sister Casey is also friendly as she and Kit take the same route to school. At school, I have two kind of friends, Tango and Hana, but so far I mostly play Pokemon in the lunch room while they chat.

I used to have a sister have a sister. Her name's Mari. She died when I was twelve; she was fifteen. I'm older than her. That's really weird.

My parents split up after, and my dad currently lives in Chicago. He's not around much, being a few states away.

I also have some kind of disorder where my brain split into multiple when I was younger. It's something I only just found out and I'm still learning about. More detail's in another post that should be linked to the pinned.

That's a bit too grim, so, uh, I also like cats.

[findafight]

Eddie's never met a Jedi. Of course he hasn't. But he's seen a Jedi, way back during the clone wars, when a battalion had helped after seppies had targeted civilian supply lines.

Eddie's pretty sure they were Kel Dor, what with the breathing apparatus. They'd worn tan and woody robes, long and elegant and flowing as they'd weaved between people, helping them stand or tending to wounds.

What had stood out to Eddie, watching this being that was supposedly a fierce warrior of light, was that they...were normal. They laughed and shrugged and cooed at babies, just like anyone else.

That was until the Jedi had raised their hands and lifted a two-tonne shipping crate into the air without so much as touching it. It frightened Eddie, then. Barely twenty and in the middle of a war his planet didn't want a part of. Beings that could lift and toss objects too heavy to move without machinery like they were playthings are not to be unwary of.

Of course. Eddie had spent a lot of the redistribution of rations effort around clones. They'd seemed...fine? While he is no stranger to speaking his mind he had thought well enough ahead that he probably shouldnt ask if they'd wanted to be there. Figured that might get him kicked off the project and he needed the money.

He listened instead. How they called each other things like Spoon and Duck and Trinity and Loopback as though they were names. Maybe they were. Eddie didn't know and didn't want to ask at the time.

But the Clones had been friendly, if formal. They spoke of their general with fondness and respect and a tinge of awe that felt appropriate to seeing what a Jedi was capable of frequently.

Eddie had liked them.

And then Empire Day came, and the Jedi were declared traitors and the galaxy as he knew it fell apart.

It never made much sense, from what Eddie had seen, for the Clones to kill the Jedi. But nobody asked Eddie, so Eddie didn't say. He did get sucked into the Rebellion though, and heard rumours about mind control and sith and a dozen other things.

So no. Eddie had never met a Jedi. But he'd seen one.

Chrissy had spoken about the rumoured Jedi (or-- not-jedi? She said they often refused the title) that stayed in the small Rebel enclave they've been helping. There were two, apparently. She'd met them, even, during a debrief where she'd been discussing how to better use their resources to help her contacts on the Freedom Trail. They'd barrelled in and spoken in such a way that Chrissy would have swore they were of the same mind, had they not been on opposite ends of the room.

"they were polite." Chrissy said, headtail twitching. "For people who interrupted an important meeting." Eddie'd laughed. "One, the Balosar man, he was very insistent that we delay our plans. The other, I think she was human? It's hard to tell, said the force was calling to them and very insistent about it during meditation."

"seriously? And the generals did it?"

"oh no. They argued for another twenty minutes before the not-Jedi threw up their arms and said, in unison Eddie!, 'The shipment will be lost if you go ahead with it. Better late than never, pricks.' and walked out."

So. On an abstract level, Eddie knew that whenever he entered the hangar bay to run maintenance or completely rebuild a ship, there was a chance for him to meet a former? Jedi.

He'd gotten well acquainted with a group of teenagers there, ones who were friends with the younger brother of the heir apparent to the region they were in and liked the make-believe games he ran in his off hours. But he never really thought about the Jedi that supposedly haunted the base until a woman shouted for Dustin, a rodian who was part of his little sheepies and had literal stars in his eyes when Eddie spoke, to come over. Dustin, the betrayer, jumped up and dashed off without even a word of goodbye.

"okay, so the head mechanic needs this-" she gestures to a small smuggling freighter that had seen far better days "hunk of junk out of the way so they can start work on a couple of x-wings. Steve and I figured we could help her out and get you to work on control of larger objects."

Eddie meandered casually over. Just to watch. Just to...see.

Dustin bounced on his feet. "Really? Woah! Where are we putting it?"

She pointed up, to the open vertical entry doors that created the roof of the hanger. "Steve's up there, he'll make sure if your control slips we don't crush the ship or anyone on the floor once you get it high, and he'll get it out and place it where it's supposed to go. I'll be here with you so you don't hurt yourself."

"I'm not gonna hurt myself."

She patted his head "yeah. Cuz I'm right here making sure."

"uhg. Almost wish I never learned you guys used to be Jedi."

"and who would train you then? No one. You and El would be sad little tooka kits all on your lonesome." She raised her voice to yell at the roof, "you ready Stevie?" and it should not have been loud enough to carry, the tone of an after thought, as though she already knew the answer and the question was just for the spectators, but the figure silhouetted waved.

Then, Dustin took a steadying breath, raised his arms, and closed his eyes. Slowly, the ship in front of him groaned and rose up. A crowd had formed, watching a magic thought extinct.

The woman's eyes darted between Dustin and the freighter, one hand loosely outstretched. It occurred to Eddie that neither wore the tunics and robes of Jedi. Dustin ran around in the mismatched pants and shirts of the Rebels' donations, while the woman wore deep greens. There were no dramatic sleeves that swished when they moved, just slightly loose fabric fastened by a belt and holster. He wonders if she ever wore them.

Dustin struggled for a moment, the ship quivering ten feet up, and the woman tensed slightly before he loosened. Eyes open, she deftly moved her arms up with the ship following, an ease in her movements that Dustin lacked. When she dropped her arms as well, the freighter stayed moving upwards, the other not-Jedi, Steve, likely taking over.

"good work for your first go." She said, draping an arm casually over Dustin's shoulders.

"I barely got it off the ground! Don't patronize me, Robin."

Eddie stepped in "considering I wouldn't even be able to move it sideways an inch, I'd say you did pretty well, Dustin."

The kid spun, just as the light comes shining back through as Steve maneuvered the ship out of the hangar. "Eddie! You saw?"

He scoffed "uh. Yes? Why didn't you tell me this is what you did when Im not around"

The woman-Robin, Eddie supposed, tensed. "It's not particularly safe to boast about it. Especially when it's not clear if you're alone."

Ah. Yeah. That did make sense. "Then why practice in a hangar with two dozen people around?"

She shrugged, and looked up. Eddie followed her sightlines and "wait is he gonna-" just as the figure that must be Steve launched himself off the edge of the open roof and towards them. He landed, he's leather jacket flapping behind him, and stood straight, grinning.

Robin laughed. "You'll give someone a heart attack one of these days, Steve."

"eh. No one's died so far."

Dustin smiled too "I'm getting pretty good at my controlled falls too! Oh, Steve, this is Eddie!"

And then Steve turned his gaze on Eddie, and his brain may have melted.

Steve looked like a spacer, windswept from the fall and leather jacket snug around his shoulders, two different holsters visible, his pants deliciously tight. He ran a hand through his hair, his antennapalps bobbing, and stuck it out for a shake.

"so, you're the great Eddie Munson Dustin hasn't shut up about? Good to meet you."

"mmhmm!" He forced his hand out to jerkily shake Steve's. Jeez. It was as though he'd never seen anyone beautiful before. His best friend was a Twilek dancer (and spy) for star's sake. He needed to get it together. Jedi didn't date, Eddie was pretty sure. Something about the force or power or devotion or something. He wasn't sure. He wasn't a Jedi. He wasn't a not-Jedi either.

Steve only smiled and turned back to Dustin. "So. Next time you need to let the Force flow. You're still trying to shove it, which never works. You direct it, like changing the course of a river."

"but not," Robin added seamlessly, and oh, wow, that was weird than you Chrissy "like a dam. Trying to block it won't give you strength. You're more..."

"using a log to ensure the water finds a different path."

"to go where you want it to go, do what you want it to do, without preventing it's natural flow."

"you guys are so annoying." Dustin huffed. "You know that? You can claim it's your Concordance of Fealty all you want but I know your freaky thing is not normal for it." He groaned. "But sometimes I feel when you guys, like, shape it. Change it. What the kark is that about? If I'm not supposed to dam it, how do I change it and use it like you do?"

Both grinned "We're older. Master the basics, we must, before attempting the advanced, young one." The voice Steve used was croaky, an impression.

Dustin pulled a face. "Don't quote Grandmaster Yoda at me!"

Robin and Steve laughed, leaning on each other. Suddenly, Eddie felt as though he was intruding. Though they hadn't told him to leave, they were sharing about...about a relative, Eddie guessed. Someone near to them and their almost-dead culture.

"I can quote him all I want, I drank enough of his atrocious tea to deserve it!"

"he's dead. You're going to sit here and insult your dead great-grandmaster, the last Grandmaster of the Order?"

Steve got Dustin in a headlock "while we mourn their loss, and acknowledge the pain of their untimely and unjust passing, we celebrate their memory. Yoda, the old frog, is one with the Force, and while I can wish for his guidance, I can also make fun of his vile cookies I had to eat at lineage dinners all I want."

"pretty sure they were barely considered edible for near-humans" Robin adds. She caught Eddie's eye, and winked. "Who's up for actually edible tea? Dustin can practice his fine control and pour for us.

Both Dustin and Steve groaned. "The kid is gonna spill all over us for fun, Bobbin."

Kelly: You know, you guys should go practice yoga too, seriously, it's great. Sarah: Yeah, I think I'll pass. Dale: Me too. Lauri: Yoga is good for the body and mind; we should try it.

Dale: But isn't yoga a girls' thing? Sarah: *Rolls eyes* Of course you would say something like that, Cho. Kelly: It's not just for girls, honey, you should consider attending. Dale: Uh - I'll look into it.

Sarah: Well, Cho's sexism about yoga is pretty interesting, and it surely calls for a debate, but my class is about to start, so if you'll excuse me… Lauri, you coming? Lauri: I need to change; you go ahead, I'll meet you there. Sarah: Okay.

About five minutes later… Kelly: Wow, that was fast. Lauri: Well, I don't know how to put on makeup so… Kelly: Oh, I can teach you if you want. Lauri: That's nice of you, thank you. Kelly: Anytime. Lauri: Well, I have to go now.

Dale: You are going to teach another girl how to put on makeup? Whoa, that's new. Kelly: I'm just trying to be friendly. Like that knucklehead brother of yours said, 'keep your enemies closer'…or whatever that saying was. Dale: Come on, Kel, Lauri isn't 'the enemy' in any shape or form. Kelly: You never know.

every time i check wookieepedia for more kel dor lore I get annoyed at the bit that says the Baran Do became irrelevant after the Jedi started coming around bc like.

a) there is no way the Jedi wouldn't want to like. team up with them instead lmfao

b) the numbers also don't add up. The Jedi have like ten thousand members in Prequel times, from species across the whole galaxy. Even if you scour the wiki, there's only like three, possibly four kel dor Jedi active at that time. Even if we accept the idea that these few are the absolute most powerful force-sensitive kel dor out there, there's no fuckin way a planet/species that can support its own extensive indigenous Force tradition just abandons that tradition, just bc a literal handful of kids in every generation goes offworld to learn from a different Force tradition.

c) the Baran Do also do a slightly different thing than the Jedi - it's basically Force-aided disaster risk/resilience/management shit. The Jedi can't make them obsolete just by existing; they're filling a different need with diplomacy and averting wars and shit. Sometimes their work crosses over, but that's not enough to put them in competition.

So, my headcanon—

The Baran Do don't have the same restriction on 'must be a child to join' as the Jedi do, so they're happy to allow children who get scouted to go off and join the Jedi, on the condition that that child gets the opportunity to come back and train with the Baran Do later on if they so wish. The Jedi are perfectly happy to allow this, both in a spirit of Interfaith Cooperation and also making sure their kids get the chance to connect with their ancestral cultures. So the relationship between Baran Do and Jedi is pretty relaxed and friendly overall.

...At this point, most of the kel dor children who are given to the Jedi were actually brought to the Jedi's attention by the Baran Do, because the Force metaphorically tapped on some Sage's shoulder and went like "hey. This one would do well with the Jedi." And that Sage phoned up the Jedi Temple like "hey could u guys send someone out, there might be a baby Jedi here for u." It's treated like a celebration for both parties, there's a festival and everything. XD

Plo happened to be the Jedi sent out to collect Sha; he didn't know the kid was his niece at that point, but then the moment he stepped off the ship he was Engulfed in a surprise family reunion. His mother, Sha's grandma, is a Baran Do Sage, and she'd requested Plo directly but then kept it to herself, so the rest of the family was equally surprised and delighted lmao.

Warning for a neck cut with a symbolic meaning!

Your voice failed you AU is an oc AU were my oc Thom takes the role of Dr Kel from Voices of the Void. He does the same job, finding signals and doing reports. However, long before he got the job, he got an encounter with something away from his understanding, the thing that he found didnt want anyone to know, so it grabbed him and with unknown tecnology, damaged his vocal cords, making him just be able to make low broken sounds. He was muted. The alien was Tielo, a Rotizol who came there with a mission, and no way he was letting a human scream and anounce were it was. After this incident, Thom lived a life with many dificulties, but a desire for anwers. Againts his sister's wishes he started to study his way to a job, a job that gives him a chance to be at his own and find his anwsers. Many people reported weird stuff going on in that station, so maybe...

During his time there, the job was harder that expected. The place was a mess, he had to constanly move place to place, work under pressure and the weird happenings were real. Still, he worked hard for his anwsers, he found patterns for his day to day, he got used to were every sattelite and its possisions, got better at fixing servers.

It got better, but still wasnt the best, that was until he started to get pranked. Firts was a catapult with an alien skupture, then carboard cut outs of other alien desings being placed in darkness and fooling him. Then it happened, he found full proof in front of his eyes, that there were aliens in the world and just making a simple picnic.

It was so stupid, so silly, so impossible to see two ships in front of him only to have a picnic below and yet... seeing that made him open his eyes more. Thats not something the thing from years ago would do, and its not like he can report an alien picnic. So, he chose exploration on who these creatures were, giving away one of his MRE's as a friendly sing.

Little did he know that this action would trigger a series of events that would give him an actual companion in a job meant to be done alone.

the person you like is perfect and just too good to be with you, you look at yourself and know how horrible and disgusting yourself is, so you just want the person you admire to be with someone better off

I realize this is how I imagined basil, he is selfless but till the last moment, he broke, the glimpse of hope he still has for his friend , and the selfishness of wanting something for once, wanting to be saved by someone he should have saved

I’m like very bad at analyzing, I haven’t touched the game for about two years? The point is I never felt we see all of basil, and I don’t think the last three days can summarize up his whole character. I know a lot people already knew the last fight with sunny is because the situation(and I knew still people just see that as a whole) , on the other hand, dream w basil is also unrealistic, like dw Aubrey, it may or may not being sunny wanted how thing are(but I still like to add the sunny dream world is really spot on and perfect copy memory) w which dream world basil being extreme with only the good side sunny see, other emotions or flaw at first I think he just push on to stranger as the part he didn’t want to witness, however, besides stranger being angry and disappointed of sunny, I don’t see too much of a negative personality for basil (however the whole cast are very friendly and wholesome)

I type so much just saying

I don’t understand basil

I hate yandere basil, but I also hate him being passive to no aggressive, and a lot of time I think it became all fanon because idk

I felt like every character can have our own interpretation but I just felt like basil is hard to work w,he is rather too cute and passive or just straight up obsessive creep

Also lot of times ppl ignore everything

He just happy

Another kel

Kinda

Actually if nothing happens

They all kel

Besides sunny and Aubrey

Oh don’t let me write about kel

I have more to talk about
