@darth-marr ( @oolathurman ) / Asamta gets a thing from Darth Agonia!

"This is all your fault, darling."

Fault is subjective, same as it is inconsequential. Blood singing from the walls says as much, smatterings of many a dark-Force-infused creature that met the wrong end of a saber. Agonia laments it, laments them; she's never been able to lower walls. Something about the extensive emptiness within her, how the depths sow fear in basal ganglia response.

Cemeteries blossom in her footsteps.

"If you hadn't distracted me..." dies in the air as she attempts, once again, to open the door that had sealed behind them. Beyond it, the screams of the possessed and the restless become muffled warnings. A chorus fit for the Dark Temple, every relic and cursed soul within its walls.

A sigh vacates her mouth, distorts behind the rebreather.

"Any ideas?"

Piping Hot OC Asks || @oolathurman

Jarrok:

👀 Does your OC believe they are attractive? Do they use that to their advantage?: Yes. Absolutely, yes. And, again, yes to the utmost; he has used his attractiveness to his advantage to manipulate. Well. Everyone he's ever needed to manipulate lmao. Not like an Agent-level of seduction prowess, but throwing out a subtle flirt or a well-timed smile if necessary to lower someone's guard. This was definitely more of an Academy days thing, though. Outlander Jarrok is admittedly too tired(TM) to bother, because if someone is already going to disagree with him, they can kriff off. He still has an ego though, because he is still very, very pretty.

😍 What does your OC find irresistible in others?: Confidence. The ability to speak one's mind and damn the consequences (very intriguing for this particular Sith Lord tbh). Someone taking charge is very attractive to him (unless it's taking away his charge lmao).

💞Do they treat sex casually or do they view it as something with a lot of emotional weight?: For the most part, he treats it very casually. Long term relationships weren't very common for him, especially when he was younger, but man-- when there is an emotional connection, he treats sex as something sacred... in his own personal way that probably wouldn't even be perceived by his lover.

🔥What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?: I had to think about this omg. He likes lace, especially in all the right places. Being threatened. Whispering in his ear, light kisses behind the shell of the ear. Collarbone kisses. And, because he's a messed up Sith that needs therapy, a little bit of violence/prowess on the battlefield. Actually, that's not even just because of his... issues... but Jarrok is a duelist. He finds form and balance in fighting to be very attractive -- definitely a thing that drew him to Agonia in the verse where they're briefly together.

🧸 Into public displays of affection or are they more reserved?: He's neutral about it, tbh. I think it depends more on his partner's preference. That said, he'd never shy away from public hand holding, kissing, makeouts... or even things that border on public indecency.

Agonia:

👙What kind of underwear do they use? Is it pretty or functional?: Most functional. She has a lot of scars from her torture on Varadan and do to disobeying her master as an apprentice. While she is very sex-positive and a lover of FWBs, she rarely wears lingerie, because she thinks it'd be wasted on her scarred body. :(

👂Does your OC have an attractive voice?: I think so. I headcanon almost all of my OCs voices as something way different than SWTOR canon (except for Jarrok's because Mark Bazeley is a fiend). For Agonia, I've always heard her sounding a bit like Cecilie Stenspil's portrayal of Eivor (example here ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) ) but a bit lower and raspier. She does have some vocal chord damage. The mask that she's almost always wearing distorts everything even more, of course.

💘Is your OC a very good flirt? Are they charming?: A good flirt? I'd give her a B+. Charming? Absolutely not. She tries, but her inability to connect with other emotionally makes this pretty tricky. There is a charm about her, but it's something that's really seen after spending some time with her. It's definitely not something that people remember her for lmao.

Leika'le:

👃Does your OC smell good? Do they have a signature scent?: This is weird and I have no idea why, but I've always thought that Lei would have a very light vanilla and sandalwood scent about her. So... yes?? Aside from times when she simply can't, she's showered and has a good hygiene regiment (especially when her hair is really long!). Fun fact: her shampoo of preference is Alderaanian flame-lily scented.

💌How would they plan a romantic evening for a significant other?: Lei is not good at planning. It's not because she doesn't care to or anything, she simply finds most of her ideas to be subpar and, well, just not good enough. So, instead of something extravagant, she'd plan something small and intimate, like a dinner and then a walk in nature/under the stars, or a night in watching bad holo-movies.

💐What is their courting style? How would they woo someone?: Lei's poke-type is chaotic lesbian, so her way of courting is: Sparring as a way to flirt! Smashing Corellian beer cans with her forehead before recycling! Fighting the guy that accidentally spilled a drink on her potential gf's clothing! Blurting out "you are so kriffing pretty!" at the most random and inopportune moments!

Khi:

🚲Does your OC enjoy playing the field? Or are they more monogamy-minded?: I'd say she's more monogamous. Khi isn't the jealous type and she probably could be involved with more than one person at a time (she has a lot of love to give) but... she's way too tired for that. One relationship is exhausting.

🦴Does your OC have much sexual experience? What are they like?: Not a lot of experience, no. Most of her time has been spent focused on work and survival, and honestly her libido isn't high. So, she's a bit shy in bed, certainly more submissive at this point in her life, but that could change.

There was music

Dancing

Festivities

The Buspocalypse

Some companions were left out in the cold

[SWTOR Guilds - Satele, SF, SV]

Are you: -Scared of guilds? -Not in one, or ready to leave an inactive one? -Don't know how to join a guild?

If you are a reasonable person who just wants to play a videogame and not be excessively dramatic, I am extending an offer to do invites into a large, medium, or small guild on Satele, Star Forge, or Shae Vizla server (depending what ones I'm in on each server) -- DM to discuss ~

List of guilds under the cut

[My Rule: interact as little as you like with guild members after joining, but read any guild rules and don't break them. Obviously I don't want to look bad for referring someone who won't behave themself!]

-

Satele is my main server, where I can (potentially) get you invited to:

The Eternal Order (pub/imp) -the Largest guild on the server; very beginner-friendly (but will boot characters who do not log in once every week or two)

Tython Coalition (pub)/Korriban Conspiracy (imp) -a small guild of long-time players. Beginners, solo players, & lurkers are all invited. Sometimes there are Story Mode ops, and prizes of items & credits for people who get the most CQ points

-

Star Forge I have:

Nerfherders (pub) -a guild I inherited, which has a Cool Name and is a way to pool CQ for bonus weekly prizes/guild flagship plans (the only current members are me + 2-3 friends who are Satele server mains)

. . .and, potentially, another Also-small, tumblr-organized pair of guilds (pub and imp) which are run by @oolathurman (in this case I'd refer you though guildmaster Eliot. You'd have to be prepared to BE REALLY NICE TO EVERYONE, because they're all awesome, sweet people who deserve nothing but polite & friendly people to play in the guild)

-

and finally, Shae Vizla server:

Heroes of the Republic/Heroes of the Empire -a dual faction, large-ish guild started by Kal who does "Today in TOR". Maybe not the best-organized right now, but there are a lot of active members who are helpful people; very beginner-friendly

Wallaby Strike Force (pub) -middle sized and pub-focused, this one started as an offshoot of Satele's "What Mechanics" guild; they are mostly Australian (renamed accordingly) & they group randomly for endgame content (which means it can be a more Gamer-y environment--but they're mostly friendly)

Ignore Mechanics (imp) -middle/small, gamer-y guild that gets me my CQ bonus each week, and won't care if I invite people. LOL. They don't let me use summons (yet), but the name is fun & they have an unlocked ship w/ guild perks

[valleyofthemachinegods]

gentleness action prompts: breathe

for Xyraan and Jarrok because we have no chill. || @oolathurman

She'd heard his name in a whisper.

Just a brief manifestation of syllables falling from dried lips, a whisper cut down before it could metamorphize into something more, but it had been enough.

The former Darth Honos. Odessen. An alliance against Zakuul and all of the oppression it wrought. She didn't believe in whispers, least of all this one, because how could he be anywhere aside from her thoughts, eternally orbiting her heart like a ghost that refused to leave? An uninvited guest in her mind that refused to be evicted. Yet, for all of the hauntings, she longs for the real thing, yearning tangible enough the she finds a way there, to Odessen, along with a shuttle Imperial defectors. Perhaps that will be enough to exorcize this phantom that clings to her.

Hearded out onto the landing platform like a gaggle of lost children, she isn't quite sure what to do. There are questions, of course, to each of them: what are your skills? what can you provide? why are you really here?

The latter might've been in her head, echoing like an accusation that she doesn't want to face.

It doesn't matter.

Limping in to meet the newest shipment of refugees, she sees him, and thinks for a moment that she might've gone mad in her longing. It's his voice that proves otherwise, perhaps lower and less authoritative than she'd recalled, weary and in need of a very long nap. Like a half-dead ghoul herself, Xyraan approaches him, pushing through the soldiers taking stock of the newest members, their protests deaf on her ears. If they thought, for a moment, to raise their blasters and perceive her as a threat, it's not for long as Jarrok's already welcoming her into his arms. As if they were the only two in the entire compound.

She hardly feels the tears streaming down her face, only forced to acknowledge the mess he'd made of her when a sob wracks her throat. Half-heartedly pounding her fist into his armored shoulder, stooped down to his level, no coherent words can escape from her mouth. She feels herself falling into a strange dizziness, the edges of her vision blurred with tears and the teasing of black.

"Breathe," he commands gently, lips pressed against the crook of her neck, arms wrapped around her so tightly that he forces himself to realize, to remember, that he's the cause of her asphyxiation-- so he loosens them, just enough. There's a certain quivering inside of his chest, stuttering both of his hearts, that renders him into wreckage of a man.

He must also remember to breathe, yet fearing if he does, then the love of his life will wither away into nothing more than a fever dream. Instead, he says,

"I tried to haunt you."

🔥 for three OCs of ur choice :p

🔥 Piping Hot OC Asks 🔥

🔥 : What’s a surefire way to make your OC get flustered?

I am indecisive why do you think I have 48 swtor ocs (it's better now I have medication for my adhd I swear)

The Randomizer has said to answer for La'Ahima Ne'Mekan, Ale'Mafenn, and Erik Balise!

La'Ahima Ne'Mekan knows how to keep her cool under pressure. She's worked for crime lords, politicians, and Sith. So to say she has a strong poker face is an understatement. There is one thing, though, that I can think of. La'Ahima is a Lekchmi, a near human species from the planet of Lekchmy. (note: original species and planet.) They have a tradition called the Ah’Lyta Me’Arta—their house symbol tattoo on their back. This is useful for identifying the fallen in battle when the exchange of the lost happens. La'Ahima is disgraced, thus her having the last name "Ne'Mekan" which means "No house." Her Ah'Lyta Me'Arta has been burned off of her back and she now has the Ne'Mekan symbol on her shoulders, which means she would be left to the wastes if killed in battle.

Now, how does this relate to how to fluster her? The scar on her back is sensitive. A tender touch along it, tracing it, treating something with so much pain and shame as a welcomed part of her would get her flustered, even if she wouldn't admit it.

Ale'Mafenn is used to the one flustering other people with flirtations. But she keeps them at distance, tending to act like flirtations are a game and just a social back and forth. The thing that would fluster her and get her to be embarrassed would be calling her out when you see an actual genuine flirtation. Alema would deny it to the stars and back but her reaction would very much tell you right away that yes, she is interested in the person she was just play flirting with.

Erik Balise is a simple man with simple flusters. Big, strong men who could make him beg in two seconds are definitely how to get him flustered. Not that he'd let it bother him too much, he's always interested in a few one night stands with said type of men. The problem is when those pesky things called emotions and attachments get involved.

1st anniversary party of Stim Please and Down With Sith Bus!

Last year I was finally fed up enough with how white and how ableist swtor and its fandom has been, and I created the pub side guild <Stim Please> and its sister guild <Down With Sith Bus> on Star Forge. This year, we're hosting a giveaway for guild members!

Each faction will hold a giveaway for Secret Items TM, and each faction will have three prizes each. After the giveaway we'll play hide-and-seek on the flagships. (Don't have to be there if you don't want to!) Giveaways starts at 4pm pst (7pm est and 11pm gmt). Imp side giveaway will be Saturday and Pub side is Sunday.

Come join the party! DM me on tumblr or discord (also 'oolathurman') for an invite to the discord server. Once you're familiarized with the rules, I can send out guild invites c:

15 Questions, 15 People

Tagged by @inqorporeal

1. Are you named after anyone? Kinda! I have a great-grandfather with my first and middle name, but my Mom only picked it because she liked the sound and didn't have any particular feelings about the guy. I was nearly named after my father, as in a 'junior', but he convinced her that was a bad idea.

2. When was the last time you cried? I teared up at my wedding Happy tears, of course.

3. Do you have kids? Unless Frisbee, my 9 year old orange tabby, counts, then no.

4. What sports do you play/have played? I played soccer and t-ball as a child, football for a hot minute and wrestling for three years in high school. I've also tried out like six different martial arts before dropping them but that sounds way more impressive than it is considering I learned basically nothing. About the only physical activity I get anymore is walking places and/or climbing the stairs at my house.

5. Do you use sarcasm? Who, me? Never.

6. What's the first thing you notice about people? General size, I'd say. I'm slightly on the tall side and very fat, so if someone is taller or bigger than me, or like ridiculously tiny, I notice.

7. What’s your eye color? Dark brown.

8. Scary movies or happy endings? Enh. I love well-done horror, but a lot of it is schlock. Similarly, I love a good catharsis, but a lot of 'happy endings' are also schlock. Still, catharsis is more important than a 'happy' ending imo, and so I guess I pick scary movies on principle.

9. Any talents? I have a knack for most of the arts in that I pick up basic proficiency faster than many, but I still gotta work my ass off to improve beyond that. Similarly decent with words but my writing is an ongoing effort to improve.

10. Where were you born? California, about 40 miles inland from Los Angeles.

11. What are your hobbies? TTRPGs (running generally, playing when I get the opportunity), Warhammer (building, converting, painting, playing), video games, writing

12. Do you have any pets? The aforementioned 9 year old orange tabby, Frisbee.

13. How tall are you? 6'0"

14. Favorite subject in school? English, History

15. Dream job? Would love to make a living at writing or one of my other hobbies, but honestly anything that let me faff about in a creative flow with music going would qualify as a dream job. If I must interact with other humans for money, then I'm best in a teaching position where I can indoctrinate the youth in leftist thought teach literary/media analysis, critical thinking, history with all its beauty and ugliness on display, and basic fucking compassion.
