Ok, time to get into memes :)))))
(Based on the "A smoothie meme" from iCarly)
Zaya and Darév react to Luke (and R2) bringing a strange child (Grogu) at home.
I mean just imagine your husband / teacher(in Darév's case) bringing home a child you've never seen in your life and you know nothing about.
I also wanted to experiment with light and rendering and I really hope I didn't exaggered.
I think I'll make a series of these just to show their dynamics 🤔
I really hope tumblr won't ruin the quality of the image

So…um…(howdoyouevenmakegoodtitles)
4.0 Phase 2. Had 12 Fates.
Went to get Freminet (must unite the siblings) and got him
Then went “I’m at Pity 80, one more for funsies”
And won a 50/50. So now I have my second Archon character. And this was the second 50/50 I ever won.
Now if you’ll excuse me I’m going to try to play a solo version of Omori’s White Space on the Genshin Lyre, or sleep. (No I don’t play Omori, and I never will.)
#freminet#Luck may be on my side for once???#Just talking about Genshin things#I was so flipping happy#He came home#I think without the guarantee too.#I’m just so happy now I can go relate to a favorite character#And the first ascension voiceline#“Are you sure about this—“ OF COURSE I AM. Now here have this R2 Wolf’s Gravestone and share it with Razor. <3#Also how do tags even work.

can i request jack wanting reader to be his valentine? 🥹😭❤️
like, aaron had no idea & his son just totally steals his thunder (bc he’s been pining over reader, ofc lol) but he can’t even be mad? it’s just so sweet & cute!!! but ofc, aaron gets the girl in the end hehehehehe <3
something exhilarating
happy valentine's day <3 cw; bau!reader, mutual pining, fluff!!!!!
"jack!" you grinned as he rushed towards your desk, aaron following right behind him.
"happy valentine's day." he gushed, with newfound shyness you've never quite witnessed from him.
"happy valentine's day!" you grinned, getting up from your chair to crouch, allowing you to be more at his eye-level. "did you have a fun party at school today?"
jack nodded, rocking back and forth on his heels a bit. "we passed out valentines, played games and ate cookies and candy. but dad said i'm not allowed to have any more today. or else i'll never go to bed tonight."
"well." you looked up at aaron, who nodded amusedly. your mouth drew into a humorous yet sympathizing line, returning your gaze to jack. "i'm sure your dad is right."
jack shrugged and quickly changed the subject, holding his hand out. "i brought you a card."
"you did?" you blurted gently in surprise, taking the small valentine card from him.
"uh huh," the shyness returned, his big brown eyes looking as sweet as ever as he asked, "you'll be my valentine, won't you?"
"um i'd be completely honored." you agreed instantly, your speed of which and enthusiasm also prompting a smile above from aaron.
"cool!" jack beamed, throwing himself into you as a hug. once back on his feet, he reached for the ziploc clasped in aaron's hand. "dad, can i have the rest?"
"sorry about that," aaron chuckled once you stood up, the two of you watching jack bounce from desk to desk excitably, passing valentines out to the rest of the team. "he told me he was only passing out his cards."
"no worries. he made my day." you grinned, looking down and admiring the character valentine in your hand, which read 'you r2 cool'. "star wars huh?"
aaron nodded, naturally crossing his arms over his chest. "we scoured the entire valentine's day section for those. he's been really into it recently, all he wants to do is watch the movies."
you flipped the card over, reading both your and jack's name scribbled in his kid-like handwriting - it was adorable. "never seen them."
"oh c'mon," aaron laughed in disbelief, before his expression turned to a lighter stoic than usual, "seriously?"
"i swear." you admitted, a slightly embarrassed laugh shaking through you.
the two of you fell into a comfortable silence; still watching jack, both laughing gently as derek tossed him into the air (aaron did vocalize a careful warning). as you both stood there, there was a mutual, something you could only describe as a buzz, going back and forth between the two of you. something eager, exhilarating.
"maybe you could come over and watch them with us sometime."
aaron said it so nonchalantly, so naturally, you almost questioned if you heard him correctly. but yet, you knew you had. somehow, it just made perfect sense.
"i'd love that." you replied, butterflies erupting in your stomach.
"and maybe," aaron paused, as if he needed just a bit more courage. "we could get dinner afterwards. you and me."
"i'd love that even more."

Erissa's Doll
It's finally done! Here is my take of Erissa's dolls..or puppets? Do we know what SSO is calling them yet? I admit, I messed up the proportions a bit and it isn't exact to the game model, but I'm still so proud and think it came out really cute! This was the first time I made my own pattern, and while there are things I think I would do differently next time, I'm still pretty happy with her!
Free Amigurumi Pattern below!
DISCLAIMER! This is my first pattern, so it may read rough. These are the exact steps I used to make the doll in the picture, but feel free to modify to look closer to the original.
MATERIALS
Weight 4 in 3 colors. I don't have exact amounts because this yarn came from my stash of rug yarn. Definitely less than a full ball, probably about 1/3 to 1/2. I believe it was Loops and Threads brand. The bows used a very small amount, less than a fist's size each.
4mm crochet hook
tapestry needle
safety eyes or buttons
stuffing material
LEGEND
r# - round/row
mc - magic circle
inc - increase
sc - single crochet
fo - fasten off (pull the tail through to knot)
ch - chain
dec - decrease (I used the invisible decrease, where you pull up the inside loops only of the 2 stitches you're decreasing)
slst - slip stitch
LEGS (make 2)
r1 - mc 4sc [4] r2 - inc x4 [8] r3 - (inc, 3sc) x2 [10] r4 - (inc, 4sc) x2 [12] r5 - (inc, 5sc) x2 [14] r6 - (inc, 6sc) x2 [16] r7 - 16sc [16] r8 - (inc, 7sc) x2 [18] r9 - 18sc [18] r10 - (inc, 8sc) x2 [20] r11 - 20sc [20] r12 - (inc, 9sc) x2 [22] r13 - 22sc [22] r14 - (inc, 10sc) x2 [24]
Don’t FO the first leg, leave a hands length tail.
After you finish the second leg, chain 2 and join with the unfinished loop of the first leg.
sc once into the next stitch on the first leg, and then sc 2x into the side of the chain 2.
Rejoin leg 2 with a sc and continue to sc around leg 2.
Continue to sc down the chain and around the next leg. You should have about 52-54 stitches in this round, give or take. Consider the point where you rejoined the second leg after coming back on the side of the chain 2 the start of your round.
NOTE: About here on, your stitch counts might not match mine, and that's okay. The rest isn’t so precise, so if it looks good to you, you’re good!
BODY (continuing from last step)
r1 - r3 - sc around (54)
Stuff the legs.
This is where we start decreasing. On each “decrease round”, you’re going to DEC at the front and back of (for lack of a better term) the crotch.
r4 - (25sc, dec) x2 [52] r5 - 52sc [52] r6 - (24sc, dec) x2 [50] r7 - 50sc [50] r8 - (23sc, dec) x2 [48] r9 - 48sc [48] r10 - (22sc, dec) x2 [46] r11 - 46sc [46] r12 - (21sc, dec) x2 [44] r13 - 44sc [44] r14 - (9sc. dec) x4 [40] r15 - (8sc, dec) x4 [36]
Another reminder to stuff here.
r16 - (7sc, dec) x4 [32] r17 - (6sc, dec) x4 [28] r18 - (5sc, dec) x4 [24] r19 - (4sc, dec) x4 [20]
FO and leave a long tail for sewing (2 hands length)
HEAD
r1 - mc 6sc [6] r2 - 6inc [12] r3 - (1sc, inc) x6 [18] r4 - (2sc, inc) x6 [24] r5 - (3sc, inc) x6 [30] r6 - (4sc, inc) x6 [36] r7 - (5sc, inc) x6 [42] r8 - (6sc, inc) x6 [48] r9 - (7sc, inc) x6 [54] r10 - (8sc, inc) x6 [60] r11-18 60sc [60] r19 - (8sc, dec) x6 [54]
If you are adding safety eyes, add them between rows 17 and 18, about 12 stitches apart
r20 - (7sc, dec) x6 [48] r21 - (6sc, dec) x6 [42] r22 - (5sc, dec) x6 [36] r23 - (4sc, dec) x6 [30] r24 - (3sc, dec) x6 [24] r25 - (2sc, dec) x6 [18] r26 - (1sc, dec) x6 [12]
FO and leave a few inches to weave in
Stuff firmly and sew to body, stuffing the joint as you close it. Be careful to line your stitches up so the eyes face forward, and don't list to the left like mine did.
ARMS (make 2)
r1 - mc 4sc [4] r2 - inc x4 [8] r3 - (inc, 3sc) x2 [10] r4 - (inc, 4sc) x2 [12] r5 - (inc, 5sc) x2 [14] r6 - (inc, 6sc) x2 [16] r7 - 16sc [16] r8 - (inc, 7sc) x2 [18] r9-13 - 18sc [18]
So at this point, I know it would be more accurate to attach the arms fluffed and sewn a bit open to the body…but I decided to lightly stuff and slst the opening closed, leaving a tail for sewing.
BOWS (make 2 in different colors)
r1 - ch36, slst into first chain to close the loop, making sure the chain doesn’t twist [36] r2 - (into the sides of the chain) ch1, sc35 [36] r3-10 sc36 [36]
slst and weave the ends.
With the same color, we’re going to make the bow’s knot.
r1 - ch 11 [11] r2 - sc in the second stitch from the hook and down the remaining 9 stitches, ch1 and turn [10] r3-4 - 10sc, ch1, turn [10] r5 - fold your work so the short ends touch and slst to join down the short side [4]
Leave a long tail for sewing.
To assemble, scrunch/gather the first part of the bow you made and slide it through the “knot” with the openings at the top and bottom. Rolling it up and twisting helps. Then fluff out the sides so it looks how you like.
Then assemble! Your head should already be attached. Go ahead and add the arms about 6 rows down from the head connection, or place them visually. Attach the bows to the top using the tail from the knot. Fluff the bows and you're done!

Xavier's Directional Orbit: Light - Stage 130 Clear + Vod
I realize this post clear write up is hella long over due, but July was such a busy month for me between balancing irl schedules and processing those Illusio Requests (which were more time sensitive). Nevertheless, for record keeping, Xavier and I cleared his Directional Orbit: Light - Stage 130 on July 22nd!
Some important information to know before challenging Xavier's Stage 130 is that you will need two teams. Team 01's protofield Stellactrum is 5-Emerald and 1-Pearl. Team 02's Protofield Stellactrum is 5-Amber and 1-Ruby.
By having a ’perfect match’ with the Protofield Stellactrum you will receive additional attribute bonuses (for every color you match increase DMG boost 5.0% and DMG reduction 5.0% up to 30.0%), as well as the ability to shatter two protofield shields in a single strike.
For this stage I opted to match the colors for each team. The bonuses of having a perfect match was more optimal rather than me trying to brute force it. I also decided to use Xavier's Lumiere companion for both fights; more about that below.
Looking back at this stage I'm pretty sure my first few run was with Lightseeker Companion in the first half. I actually had difficulty grouping up the 4 wanderers together since none of them seem to want to be near each other in order for me to utilize Luminescence Blade's Active skill for cleave damage. This is why I opted to use Lumiere companion instead of Lightseeker here; I needed his control abilities.
My advice is to focus on the Carmine Talons first and then eliminate the Elysian Lacertus. Kindly overlook my messy game play, but in my clear vod you can see that I can have the Elysian Lacertus come to me instead of jumping all over the place while I focused on the Talons. Having Lumiere's Support Skill, Lunar Vortex, made it easier for me get all the wanderers grouped up together while we did AoE damage. It was such a close fight, but thankfully my Ardent Oath came up in time.
For the second half of the fight, I don't want to say it was a joke but... Lumiere really is the best. His Passive Skill, Moonfall, is so broken when combined with Moonchaser's Active Skill, Moontide. That's why, if you have R2 Lumiere, having 2-Expedited Energy Boost beta protocores on Lumiere is BiS is highly recommended. If you don't have Lumiere ranked up I would still equip 1-Expedited Energy boost with 1-Oath Recovery Boost beta protocore at 11% in order to use Ardent Oath twice.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Unfortunately, I don't have screenshots of my stat attributes or have any recollection of which protocores I used for this fight. I'm also unable to recreate those stats I used for this fight because I've upgraded his memories and protocores since then.
EDIT: HUZZAH~! I FOUND THE MISSING SCREENSHOTS. They have been included along with any other information I could pull from them below.
So we'll just go off with what information I do have from my clear vod. If anyone has any questions or concerns about this particular stage I would be happy to help!

Shooting Anakin like Padmé
So I've mentioned this before, but for most of ROTS, Padmé is shown pretty much only in her own apartment, and she's only allowed to leave to (1) go to see Anakin to tell him about the baby, (2) go to the Senate to deliver an (admittedly devastating) line about Palpatine declaring himself Emperor, and then (3) go to Mustafar to find Anakin. Besides those times, the camera only looks at her when Anakin goes to see her in her apartment, or when Obi-Wan goes to her apartment to see her about Anakin.
This relegation of Padmé to the domestic sphere--even if it's less obvious in that it's not a cooking or cleaning domestic space--is strange for a character who is obviously active and present in the previous movies. Why isn't she in the Senate building before the last scene? Why doesn't she have an office? Paperwork to do at least? Why don't we see her preparing to give birth? Hell why can't she and Anakin just talk somewhere else for once?
The answers to these questions are not ones I'm going to bother with right now. Whilst they are probably complex and interesting on some level, ultimately, they largely start and end with and "the narrative stopped being interested in its main female character other than in how she affects its male lead." Instead, I'd like to demonstrate how stupid it is by imagining ROTS scenes if Anakin was shot the same way Padmé is.
Rescuing the Chancellor
Start by cutting the whole space battle and rescue. We open on Anakin, Obi-Wan, and Palpatine returning to the ground and being greeted by the Senators and the press. Padmé pulls Anakin aside as in the movie. Since we didn't get to see Anakin execute Dooku, Anakin summarizes those events to Padmé, during which he tells her that he's not sure he should've killed Dooku and that he's afraid Obi-Wan would be disappointed in him. Padmé avoids confronting/is distracted from this revelation by her own news--she's pregnant. Continue the scene as written, with Anakin dismissing her worries to tell her to be as happy as he is.
Impact
Because it would probably reveal too much plot-wise for Anakin to tell Padmé that Palpatine directly ordered him to execute Dooku, this would deeply minimize how much Palpatine has over Anakin's decision making, as well as obscure how Dooku being executed even happened when Obi-Wan should've been right there to stop him (audience has no idea he was knocked out). Also, the audience would not see Anakin disagree with Palpatine to save Obi-Wan, and would therefore be deprived of the understanding that Obi-Wan is important to Anakin.
Even if all of this information was included in Anakin's summary of events, it would replace all of the showing done in the rescue scenes with telling, thereby destroying all of the emotional weight the audience experiences actually witnessing the events.
Appointment to the Council & The Opera
Instead of seeing Anakin talk to Palpatine and Obi-Wan, and throwing his fit to the Council, we instead get Anakin sitting in his quarters in the temple after the council meeting. He gets angry, standing up and pacing the room, talking to either himself or R2-D2 about how annoyed he is about not being made a master and that Obi-Wan would ask him to spy on Palpatine.
Instead of Anakin sitting with Palpatine in the Opera, we are treated to another scene of him in his quarters, this time we see him in his quarters, reading some texts, maybe muttering about trying to find the story Palpatine told him about.
Impact
Instead of seeing Anakin being manipulated, being inept at politics, his inability to manage his emotions in front of the Council, the tension of his argument with Obi-Wan about spying, and the way he's immediately drawn in by Palpatine's story about darth Plageuis, we just get him pitching a fit in private. Pitching a fit in private is a pretty reasonable thing to do--most people do it at some point--and so on top of doing nothing to show any of his interpersonal relationships with Obi-Wan, the Council, or Palpatine, it also shows very little of the complete breakdown he's headed toward.
Order 66
Instead of seeing Anakin go into the Temple, leading the clones, we are instead shown him getting dressed in his new sith cloak, which matches Palpatine's.
Impact
The audience gets none of the horror of seeing Anakin about to kill people. They only gain the information that he killed the Jedi children when Obi-Wan tells Padmé--there is none of the symbolism of him being shown to kill that one kid who looks just like his younger self. It reduces a horrific act and character decision to less than a news headline, and--especially with Padmé's later denial about it--makes it sound like more of a rumor than anything.
Mustafar
After Anakin puts on his new sith cloak, we cut to him on a ship to Mustafar. Only it's not his fighter, it's a ship large enough to have sleeping quarters, or maybe a kitchen. We see Anakin in one of those two spaces, again pacing, but this time he has set his lightsaber on a table, and keeps glancing at it agitatedly. On arrival, he picks it up and leaves the ship. Cut to him announcing over comm to Palpatine that the Separatist leaders are dead, without showing any of the killing involved. Then he sees Padmé landing and goes to greet her.
Then, keep the strangling Padmé and dueling Obi-Wan the same as the movie.
Impact
Now imagine seeing that final duel after an entire movie in which we have hardly seen Anakin and Obi-Wan interact, never seen them fight together, and only witnessed Anakin draw his saber once, to cut off Mace's hand in one wild swipe. It wouldn't mean nearly as much. We wouldn't know where Anakin suddenly got all these crazy lightsaber skills from--it would be crazy that he can go toe to toe with Obi-Wan who we just saw fight Grevious. We wouldn't know that Obi-wan's death was something Anakin would've died to prevent only days earlier.
Overall Impact
While some of these altered scenes do have potential to communicate some important things about Anakin (staring at lightsaber = guilt, picking it back up = choosing violence), on their own, they fail to tell his story well, and give little depth to his character.
He doesn't really talk to anyone on screen -> seems like a total loner who doesn't talk to anyone but Padmé. What do you mean Obi-Wan is supposed to be his best friend-brother-dad-teacher? (Why does Obi-Wan say he loved Anakin at the end or bother to personally look over Luke?)
Anakin doesn't really do anything for anyone but himself -> what do you mean he's supposed to have been a caring person who was corrupted?
Anakin is called a General and a war hero, but we never see him lead troops or even fight -> was he just given the title to make him seem more important?
Anakin and Palpatine only interact for like two seconds -> why does Anakin believe him about the Sith story or follow his orders to commit atrocities?
Anakin doesn't have any strong feelings about the Jedi, positive or negative (let alone both simultaneously) -> why do we care that he betrayed and killed them? why didn't Palpatine just let the clones do it?
Basically, it makes him seem stupid and inactive, and completely fails to show the audience his ongoing struggle with violence and torn loyalties, unless of course the audience is willing to go to lengths to imagine the depth he might've had if the narrative had prioritized him a little more.
There's lots of fic and meta that does that for Padmé, but the movie itself does not force the average view to see her as anything but Anakin's girlfriend who loves him more than anything, for some reason (he's pretty?) and is a Senator for some reason (she talks about politics for a minute?).
Like, I'm being a bit reductive, but all the scenes I cut of Anakin doing violence? Those are the equivalent of Padmé doing politics. All the interactions with Obi-Wan, Palpatine, and the Council? Those are Padme talking to other senators, her handmaidens, maybe even her parents. Anakin's mounting stress? That's a bit about Padmé seeing a doctor, worrying about her own health.
Padme isn't the main character, but she's not a side character either. The screen time she got could've been better used, even simply by letting her look busy when Anakin talks at her. ROTS makes her seem silly and inactive, and fails to show the audience the full depth of the ongoing conflict between her duty as a political power and her relationship with Anakin.

I have a headcanon about Anidala (Anakin x Padmé) which is that they got married after Ventress gave Anakin the scar over his eye not at the start of the clone wars, this is for many reasons.
1. Anakin was distraught with grief and a war had just started which was heavily involved with both Padmé and Anakin, neither were in their right minds to be making such a big decision
2. It allows some time between when they started dating and when they get married
3. It’s right after he got his scar because it was a reminder how they might die at any point and they wanted to be married
4. They got to be a little bit older before making such a big commitment even though they were still young
5. They have enough time to put together cool outfits, Anakin just wore his Jedi outfit and WHY. I’d imagine Padmés dress and hair is much more elaborate and Anakin puts on a suit (I’d imagine a darker colour but it could be anything from deep blue to look like space, to 501st blue, to red if he wanted to) and Padmé totally did Anakins hair up all dramatic
6. I’m not sure quite how the timelines match up but it means that the 501st (probably some of the 212th due to them knowing Anakin as a Padawan) will be able to get an invite and possibly Obi-Wan or maybe other Jedi or Senators depending on your other headcanons. For this post I’m just going to include the clones and a few others because I think it’s cool but it’s writers pick really.
And my favourite reason:
It means that they can be kidnapped.
They got kidnapped on their first date (when Anakin had to protect Padmé during AOTC (Attack Of The Clones), it was a horrendous date but a date nonetheless) and they can get kidnapped before their marriage (as I don’t want to ruin their big day by having a fight in the middle of it).
There are so many comparisons we can get through this
3PO and R2 having another grand old time together like in AOTC, more tolerable of each others presence, and dare I say friends, this time around
Instead of them going to rescue Obi-Wan they complain to each other while waiting for their rescue which consists of an absolutely livid battalion (probably more if some of the 212th want to come along) of battle hardened soldiers, at least one Jedi, a few Senators, and some droids who have scarily good programming and an intimate knowledge of Star Fighters and weapon systems.
You can see how Anakin and Padmé mature and their relationship gets healthier (I hate it when they’re relationship is toxic, I love them so much, if you can’t give them have a happy ending let them have a happy story, please). Which is shown in many different ways which I couldn’t possibly list all of them.
#lazerswordweilder writes#star wars#anidala#padmé naberrie#padmé amidala#Anakin Skywalker#Anakin with has half done up hair and wearing a suit for the first time in her life#oops meant to say his life#while Padmes debating whether it’s worth getting her shoes bloodied#answer: yes#she makes/orders her clothes specifically for this situation and blood and dirt wipes out of them very easily

5 - The Rise of Skywalker
Vader x Ex-Padawan reader - Chapter 5 - Meditation
Previous parts
Summary: Vader finds out the true extent to how much damage his body endured after mustafar, meditation leads him to an old friend.
Thanks for all the love on this series! Reblogs and comments are what keep me going! <3
Warnings: panic attack description, hurt/comfort
No one would be that stupid.
Vader wasn’t sure what you meant until he saw it with his own eyes. People had a very healthy respect for you, especially the Rebels and their alliances. You had a reputation, one he didn't realize belonged to you. He had heard of the Shadow Tempest many times. The epic runs, always one step ahead of the Empire. The pilot behind almost all the notable Rebel wins. In all his time with you he always did most of the piloting, he knew there were a million things to do and sort out but more than anything he wanted to take you out and see who would win.
He sat there in a meeting of people, the higher-ups of the revolution, and watched as they listened to you. You never asked for anything, simply told them that he was on your side now and that he needed the best medical. In return, they would have your help in defeating the Empire. They were very eager to have your support, apparently up until this it was very hard to persuade you into helping them. Something he would ask more questions about as from what he was told your ship had been center stage in most Rebel wins. He was surprised that help from you and Obi-Wan was enough for them to overlook his past.
Obi-Wan let out a tense laugh as they handed him a bank card. Apparently, all his money was in his account and had been converted over to card technology despite his leaving. He could go run off and be a murdering psychopath then come home and find out how much interest he had earned off his funds. This wasn't right. He didn't deserve this. People had to accept him at your request, but he could feel the way they trembled in his presence. Fear gripped people tightly and he could even feel their concern for you. Even without being able to read their thoughts, he knew their plans to pull you aside to see if you had stockholm syndrome or if he had possessed you. He guessed that was a good thing, people here cared about you. Everyone stopped what they were doing to greet you, relief that you were safe overwhelming their features, it was good to know it wasn’t skin deep. People really cared.
He was unsure about the Rebel's plans for the Empire though. But then again he was retiring from this world. He would kill the Sith, try to come back from being one, restore balance to the universe, and hide away with you - hopefully forever.
Ahsoka had not been pleasant, but she came around for the sake of ending the Empire. He hoped in time he could mend things with her. She had been your closest friend and he missed how easily she fit into the family that was formed during the Clone Wars. A family he had to put back together.
R2 was beyond happy to see him. He ran around him squealing loudly. Everyone looked horrified but he bent down and put his arms around the droid. Affection towards R2 was easy. He was the most dependable thing in his life for the longest time. He was well-maintained but still looked like he was an active participant in the war. He thought of all the lore that surrounded the Shadow Tempest, more than anything he wanted to pull R2’s memory and watch every bit of footage he had saved. He would come back for it another time.
“I kept her safe” R2 chirped loudly in his language and he laughed again patting the little droid on what would be considered his head.
“Thank you, you did an excellent job R2.” He was grateful he left something behind to help you in his absence even if it was unintentional.
Then the medical meetings started. Once he saw all his options, he was overwhelmed. From the stem cells they had of his on file, they could re-grow most of his skin to cover the prosthetics. They would have to remove more of his arms and legs as the nerves had been permanently and purposely damaged where they met the metal prosthetics. The rest of his skin could be healed with minor scaring, they could even regrow his hair follicles.
After looking at the scans and seeing the damage Palpatine did he had to leave.
He had no idea what he gave up that day on Mustafar.
He lost the woman he wanted to marry, the ability to give her a nice life, to touch her without hurting her, to touch her and feel her skin. Not to mention the horrible things he had said to you at the end lived rent-free in your mind all these years. He had given up the one person in the world he considered family, he had tried to kill his brother. All of this was to build something better for them. Yet he spent years trying to kill Obi-Wan, terrified of his old master. The sickness was too much to contain as it all came flooding back to him.
Let me go - he commanded you as he left the building. It was cruel but he was drowning in pain. He was so consumed with rage and self-hate he left to go to the temple where Obi-Wan had been going to meditate.
He knew the only true way out was through. He couldn't go on a rampage, couldn't give into weakness. He couldn't lose you again.
Palpatine had made him suffer to prevent him from his full potential. To keep him from his density. Just as the Jedi had done. Everyone wanted to hold him down, force him to comply, just like Watto. He had been so caught up in thinking he deserved the pain, which in his opinion he still did. Palpatine gave him the illusion of control and freedom. That power was so seductive but what had it gotten him? The lives he took ran through his mind at a speed that made him dizzy. Nausea gripped him as the familiar coldness ran up his limbs to settle in his stomach. It was what he imagined death felt like. The icy energy caressed his body, but he had been here too many times before to know he wasn't that lucky.
It was his punishment, he had earned it fair and square. A lifetime of suffering would never be enough to make up for the lives he took. His mind ran through this for hours as he sat in the temple trying to find peace and clarity.
He’d done too much, taken too many.
“You did what the Force deemed necessary.” The voice made him jump, not an easy thing to do. The hazy, glowing form of Qui-Gon was in front of him.
“I -” He started to argue back.
“You - are the living force. The Sith willed you into existence Anakin, there is a power in you unlike anything else in this Galaxy.” He explained calmly and his heart sank at the realization of his words.
“I’m evil.” His voice was so broken. A truth he always should have known deep down. There would be no path leading towards the man you wanted, needed, him to be.
“No, there is no good and evil in the true force, this concept of light and dark comes from the people sensitive to it and how they choose to use it. You are what it is in its true form”
“Then why is everything inside me so painful.” His voice was wet with the tears streaming down his cheeks. As far back as he can remember that power inside him has always been anger.
“Because you experienced great pain. You have to understand that your life was always one with the force. The choices you made were ultimately the direction of the force. It wants balance. The Sith and Jedi were flawed ways of doing things, it’s your job to follow this through.” His words brought tremendous relief and a tremendous amount of anxiety at the same time.
“I failed you.” He whispered.
“I failed you. Had I been around I fear that things would have been better for you. Obi-Wan was not ready, but that does not mean he doesn't care for you.” Qui-Gon smiled sadly. “You have done great things, terrible things, and carried the pain of both of them.”
Anakin sobbed. This task he was burdened with, the pain he had to cause to settle debts that had nothing to do with him. Seeing Qui-Gon made him feel like he was ten years old again. He wanted to run into his arms and hold him.
“Thank you.” He said softly.
“Now, you must complete your training with Obi-Wan, I have shown him what is needed. You must also complete training your Padawan.” He gave Anakin a big smile. “She is more important than you realize. The second half of the prophecy rests on her shoulders. You must be there to help her carry it.”
“What’s the second half of the prophecy?” His voice went dark again. He didn’t want this nonsense anywhere near you. He wanted to end Palpatine and have this part of his life over with. Had he not sacrificed enough of himself for it? Had he not tried to make the right choice every time despite the cost? The only request he had ever had in this life was to spare you and his mother.
“Don’t worry about that. Just focus on training and confronting Palpatine. Only then you will be a Jedi, a true Jedi.” Qui-Gon looked at him for a long moment. “She will be fine.” His eyes held an emotion that Anakin didn’t understand. It scared him, but he trusted Qui-Gon. He didn’t really have a choice in the end, you were too involved to shut out. You were certainly not naive enough to dump off on some planet again.
He had a million questions but felt Qui-Gon fade out. A new presence took his place, one he knew could have no form or words. She could just manage a feeling and it was enough. It was more than enough, the feeling wrapped around him and he held onto his mother tightly.
After a long while, he came back to the present moment. He reached out to Obi-Wan, knowing that reestablishing the bond would be unavoidable.
Master - He reached out and felt the bond attach on the other side.
Anakin - Obi-Wan sounded surprised and the full force of his calm presence washed over Anakin. How much he had missed being able to reach out and feel his master. The feeling was so overwhelming he needed to stay in it for a moment.
I need your help - He was unsure of what he would have left to learn from Obi-Wan but he trusted Qui-Gon.
Obi-Wan rushed to the temple and Anakin could feel his unsettled nature. The concern for him made him want to cry again. He didn't deserve this side of Obi-Wan. He watched his master take in his meditation pose and his eyes softened. He sat next to him and Anakin tried to keep his composure as Obi-Wan’s arm came around his shoulders.
“I want to apologize again,” Obi-Wan whispered. He could feel Shmi’s presence had not left the temple yet.
“Please don’t.” Anakin choked. He could tell through the newly established bond just how much sorrow Obi-Wan’s heart carried. He was overflowing with it. He knew he felt responsible for Anakin’s mother, for how poorly the council had treated him, especially when he was a boy. He could feel how painful exile had been, how he couldn't escape Anakin so he moved to Tatooine to fully accept his punishment. How much he hated the sand, but how much he loved being close to the brother he lost. Then he realized that the fresh paint and seasonal flowers on his mother’s grave was his doing. He could see his master there lighting a candle occasionally sitting with her telling her his best stories, all the moments she missed out on while he was away. The love for him that was often so well concealed flowed through the bond.
“We failed each other,” Anakin whispered.
“I was older and should have been wiser.” Obi-Wan said sadly.
Anakin told him about the prophecy and they sat there together considering things.
“You must overcome your emotions -” Anakin flinched and Obi-Wan put his hand back on his shoulder “ You must feel them and use them, but not be overwhelmed with them. Once you submit to your anger you lose the light, when you lose your anger and sense of justice, you lose your power. Everything must be about finding balance.”
Anakin nodded.
“Do you think she will stay?” Obi-Wan looked confused by his question.
“Why would she leave?” He asked softly, with tenderness in his features.
“The whole Sith creation thing. She wants me to be better, that doesn't sound good with my track record.” Anakin could feel his insecurities start to rise up and he took a breath.
Obi-Wan let out a laugh. “If she didn't want to see you she wouldn't have accepted jobs in Imperial air space for the past 7 years.”
“I still can't believe you let her do that stuff,” Anakin said slightly put out with his master.
“You think I could stop her?” He laughed again and Anakin shook his head.
_________________________
He reluctantly stood in the elevator up to your apartment. He should feel a sense of relief, or motivated towards his plan. Instead he just felt anxious. He wanted you more than anything else in the galaxy. He’d sacrifice what he had to. He didn’t care that it was attachment, you were going to be his at any cost necessary. If you were horrified what would he do? Just force you down and fuck you back into submission again?
No.
He sighed as the door to your apartment opened, he hated it when you forgot to lock the door. You were in the kitchen cooking, the sight of him caused you drop the wooden spoon into the frying pan. Your fingers picked it out and you hissed as the heat stung your flesh.
Panic raced through him. Memories of Mustafar bit into his still aching flesh. He grabbed your wrist with too much force, using the other hand to manhandle you towards the sink. He put your fingers under cold water and tried to breathe.
_______________
Anakin’s gloved hand had a painful grip on your wrist as he held it under the cold water. The fear in his eyes scared you as a cloud of darkness wrapped around him tightly. He wrapped his other hand around your torso and rested his cheek on the top of your head. You could feel his tears sinking into your scalp.
“Anakin, it’s alright.” You said softly holding on to him with your free arm. “It won’t even scar, it doesn't hurt.”
Your words were from this moment in time and you knew his mind was far away. In a world you probably wouldn't be able to reach. You let him hold you tightly.
“I’m a Sith.” He said quietly making you jump slightly.
“I know.” You werent sure what exactly he was referring to.
“What do you know?” He asked pulling away to look down at you. He was so much taller, you felt swallowed by his frame.
“I had this vision? Not sure you could call it that exactly.” You tried to figure out what you wanted to tell him before you realized the best thing to do would be to read what you had written about it right after it had happened. No details would be missed or confused. “Here, I’ll grab my journal.” Your words did nothing to lessen his grip on you.
He gave you a conflicted look. With the force he grabbed a jar of burn salve from the fridge. He opened it and stuck your fingers in it.
“Just stay.” He was worn so thin it reminded you of when he had left you all those years ago. Three days he was at the temple, that probably meant three days without sleep. Not a good idea for Anakin.
“Which journal is it?” He asked looking for guidance.
“Erm - I’d have to help.” You picked the jar of salve up and kept your fingers inside it to appease him. Where did people go to get help for this sort of thing? You had no idea how to reassure him when he got like this. You just did what he wanted or had sex with him.
He was satisfied with this. He moved with you to the bedroom. He followed your gaze to the few shelves that held notebooks, knowing full well he wouldn't listen if you told him not to read them.
You pulled three from the shelf from around that time frame with the force and started flipping through them. His attention was engrossed with the colourful writing and drawings. You found the part you were looking for and handed it to him, returning the other two back to their place on the shelf.
You reluctantly gave it over to him and returned back to the kitchen. Thankfully dinner hadn’t burned, as he’d turned the element down. He followed you leaning against your island while you kept cooking. His red eyes making sure your fingers stayed coated in the salve.
You didn't hear him read the lines but you felt his heart clench. He rested his head in his hands for a moment.
“Why did you come back?” He groaned. When you had written down what had happened you were completely terrified. You’d faced him and thought he had killed you. You woke up a shaking mess and wrote down every detail you could recall in case it came back to hurt you one day. You could feel his shame at the fear bleeding through the pages.
“I didn’t I got captured.” You said evasively. You didn't know how to answer the question he was asking you.
“Why did you bring me back.” He clarified his eyes devouring you. A memory came to you of laying in a field with him after a mission had ended and you were waiting on the ship to be repaired. The grass was covered in wild flowers and you laid in the sun, you had feelings for him but didn’t know how to tell him. You’d almost been hit on the mission and the way he had hugged you after was replaying through your mind.
“I promised you I would always come back.” You referenced that moment when he had almost lost you for the first time. “There’s enough of you in there to make the risk worth it.”
He closed his eyes and you felt him breaking down. You turned the element off half expecting to get jumped.
“I’m sorry.” His words were so thick and raw.
“Me too.”
“No, you haven’t done anything. I did it all, turns out I had to in the end. But still, the things I’ve done to you-” His voice broke.
“I wanted you to.” You felt his mind revisit that first night you had back together.
“You didn’t.”
“I did. I don’t know if you know this but I’m quite vocal when I’m unhappy.” You smirked.
“You tried to push me away, I thought it was you pulling us together -” He took a deep breath. He needed to eat and then sleep before he got too carried away.
“I don’t care. I wanted you back. That’s what I got.”
“There’s another part to the prophecy.” His voice was low.
“Oh boy.” you whispered.
“Qui-Gon won’t tell me what it is, but it’s about you.” His features looked manic and you knew it was time to shut things down before he went over the edge.
“I can handle it.” You said staring him down. You wouldn't let him be an idiot about things this time. “Now. I’m going to wash my fingers off, we're going to eat. Then sleep.” He considered you for a long moment. You could tell he was recounting what happened last time he got this worn down and scared.
He gave you a reluctant nod. You both ate quickly and despite it being 7:30 at night you got washed up and into bed.
Anakin fell asleep quickly leaving you time to think about everything. The true power of the darkside was a mystery to you. Having been Force resistant for the past 7 years, you felt particularly extra sensitive to it now. You could feel two sides of the force battling inside him, even as he slept the conflict radiated off of him. The pain still ate at his bones and his lungs were still struggling. Despite warring on him, the force was so strong it kept his body functional, making up for the gaps and the failings of his flesh.
Just like everything else about Anakin Skywalker, this was something unheard of. Even when he wanted to die, even when his body was decaying, the force still pushed him forward.

New beginning
Pairing: Padme Amidala x Fem reader
Description: You and Padme get married after the relationship between the two of you blooms
Joy filled the air as your brother walked you down the aisle seeing Padme there waiting for you along with Anakin behind her while 3-Pio and R2 were behind you with your brother. The two of you had met seven months earlier through your friends anakin and Obi wan immediately captivated by her beauty and smarts falling for her even more seeing her unconditional kindness and love she had for the people around her, when she went into protection for almost being assassinated you were right by her side with her along with anakin always being by next to her even sleeping at the foot of her bed so that you would know she was safe which slowly led to the feelings between the two of you growing and after a few weeks of being in Naboo the two of you were seeing each other and sharing her bed always locking the door which slightly confused anakin until he saw padme kiss you leading to the two of you telling him and he swore to secrecy until you told obi wan who was surprised but happy for the two of you giving you all the support that warmed your heart immensely. You smile when her hand lightly caresses your face before the two of you share a sweet kiss that starts off the new start of your life together, ani and obi wan were happy for the two of you always smiling when the two of you walked in the room hand in hand whether it was to or out of senate meetings or the temple to visit the two Jedi and the clones there taking a few days off to stay in naboo to visit her family or to stay in Alderaan to visit your family, your family loved padme dearly always pulling her into hugs after the two of you walked inside the house or close to them when they were in the yard or out somewhere and her family light up seeing you next to padme and truly overjoyed that she had not only found someone who loved her to the galaxy and back but also once they got to know you that it was you who was with her and now apart of their family, the excitement only grew when after a few treatments you found out padme was pregnant and life for the two of you and your families that mixed together would only grow more wonderful and full of joy later on.

The Astronaut and Assistant
Finally, we come to the last two animations in the demo, and of course they are the main characters of the game! There was a lot riding on these animations due to how important they are (and their backstory) and so I was nervous that I wouldn't be able to do these two justice, based on the ideas I had in my mind's eye.
At first, I had grandiose plans for the astronaut's idle animation. I toyed with the mechanical chest tilting upwards and the oxygen pipes swinging around, but after seeing this in action, it looked way too comical.
Instead I went with a more subtle animation, having only 3 unique frames and the longest animation cycle of any of my sprites. I think the notion of breathing is something we take for granted a lot of time, and it's something that absolutely cannot be done while in space or underwater. So I wanted to contrast this slow deliberate movement against the more gaudy animations of the various robots, in order to highlight the human-ness of the astronaut.
As for the assistant, it had many moving parts (both figuratively and literally). Its frame - everything except the R2-D2 style droid in the center, is cobbled together from various bits and pieces to fit his unique form. That means I wanted the parts to move more or less independently from one another to demonstrate that this isn't much of a cohesive robot.
I knew I wanted the claw to flex menacingly, and I think having the assistant look at it while he does it (to show they aren't yet used to it/checking it works as intended/in disbelief etc) quite cute. On the other hand (pun intended), the constant discharging of it hints at some of its E-M attacking capability.
Overall, I'm really really happy with how these turned out, super satisfied to have the main characters done, and, most importantly, I hope you like them too!! Now that all the enemies/characters in the demo have been completed, it's on to the train boss unit!

R2-D2 is the only character in the entire series to know about everything and their events that led to those things
He watched Anakin grow, becoming a Jedi
He watched Anakin descend into the darkness
He watched the twins be born
He watched Padme die
He watched Obi-Wan loose himself and become ‘Ben’
He watched the clones attempt to fight 66, fail, and become their own nightmares
He watched his partner Threepio loose his memories - the only other he could have spoken to and who would have understood his pain
He watched Luke and Leia meet, defeat the enemy, and then create their own lives
He watched how Leia became the best politician in history - bringing back order to the galaxy only for her own son to ruin her work
He watched Luke build a new order of Jedi, creating new Jedi in his wake who are happy and thriving without the horrors the old had - only for his nephew to ruin it and make Luke disappear
Watched Kylo grow up and than turn to the darkness
He watched a new group: Peo; loner who craves a family, Fin an ex-slave who found those who cared, Rey who was independent - similar to Luke, Leia, Han who were similar to 501st-212nd
Threepio - again - looses his memories during this time
Artoo is - again - alone with this
Artoo is the only being alive who knows what has happened to the plot for the past 3, on coming 4, generations
#threepio would have too but they kept takin my boys memories#Artoo is pissed about that but not in the way yall think#‘that one the ONE person I had to bitch to’#‘now his ass doesn’t even remember ME’#Artoo’s story is actually so sad#Star Wars could possibly resolve completely around him and it would make sense#WAIT A SECOND#WHAT IF HES THE NARRATOR#star wars#artoo#artoo detoo#r2d2#Star Wars artoo

Happy 4th Anniversary to Glitch Techs!
As a little gift to the fandom, here's a free crochet pattern so you can make your own Chomp Kitty plushie!!
Materials used:
-----------------
•4mm crochet hook (any will do, 4mm was the only size I had. KEEP IN MIND that hook size plays a role in determining the size of your plushie)
•Vibrant green wool/yarn (I got a 100g ball from Woolcraft, but I don't know the exact colour name.)
•Purple wool/yarn (Same as above) *
•Baby blue wool/yarn (Brand unknown)
•White wool/yarn (Brand unknown) *
•Black wool/yarn (Brand unknown) *
•Darning needle
*If you want to do less crocheting, you can use felt instead!! Just skip the parts where you crochet the stripes (purple), the teeth (white), the eyes (white and black) and the whiskers (black)
Note: Try your best to keep the thickness of your wool/yarn consistent. Having chunky wool in one part and then thin wool in a later part can look a bit weird sometimes. ALSO!! MAKE SURE YOU GET ENOUGH WOOL. That being said, a ball of each colour should be plenty! :D
If you want to make Horn, just swap out the colours! :D
Pattern Key:
--------------
•MC = Magic Circle (A technique used for starting pieces)
•Sc = Single Crochet (A single stitch)
•Inc = Increase (Two stitches into one)
•Dec = Decrease (Crochet two together. Use invisible decrease for better, more uniform result)
•2(sc, inc) (This is an example of format. This means that you single and then increase twice)
If you don't know how to do these, I suggest looking up a tutorial on YouTube!
Alright, with all of that out of the way, here's the pattern:
Legs (Make 4)
----------------
The legs are done in green.
R1: Magic Circle - 6 (6)
R2: Inc 6 (12)
R3: 4(2sc, inc) (16)
R4-6: 16sc (48)
R7: 2(6sc, dec) (14)
R8: 14sc (14)
R9: 2(5sc, dec) (12)
R10-12: (12) (36)
R13: dec, 10sc (11)
R14-16: 11sc (33)
Stuff the legs firmly, especially at the paws, so they keep their shape properly. If you have beans, you can put them in the paws to weight them!
Body (Sorry but the rounds are really messy here in terms of formatting, apologies for any pattern mistakes)
------
Start with baby blue
R1: Chain 5 (5)
R2: sc into current stitch, 4sc, inc (7)
Rotate piece. Into the other side of the chain: 4sc, 3inc, 3sc, 3inc (19)
R3: sc, 2inc, 3(sc, inc), sc, 2inc, 2(sc, inc) (25)
R4: 3sc, 3(inc, 2sc), 6sc, 3(inc, 2sc), inc (35)
R5: 11(2sc, inc) (44)
R6: 14sc, 3(dec, 2sc), 5sc, 3(dec, 2sc) (37)
R7: 2[inc, 2sc, inc, 3(sc, inc), 2sc, inc, 6sc] (50)
R8: 52sc (52)
We will now crochet rounds around the outside of the leg, skipping the stitches on the inside (the ones that are attached to the body). Still crochet into the "corners"
Switch to green
We're going to attach the legs this round, without sewing. Push the hook through the next stitch, and then into one of the stitches of one of the legs. Pull the green through and sc.
R9: another 3 sc, same as before, go through the body and the leg. 8sc, Attach another leg by crocheting 4sc into the body and the next next leg, 10sc, another leg with 4sc, 8sc, another leg with 4sc, 10sc
R10: 3sc, 2dec, 14sc, 2dec, 16sc, 2dec, 14sc, 2dec, 16sc
R11: Full round of sc (When I said messy, this is what I meant lmao, I didn't count the stitches in each round for the body so I'm doing it in post and it might be wrong, my bad y'all)
Unfortunately, the next round might be hard to follow because I got lazy with my notes.
Sorry </3
R12: Another round of sc BUT in each leg "corner" (the first and last stitch that joins the leg to the body), dc. There should be 8dc total
R13: sc around the leg, sc, dec, 2sc, dec, sc, sc around the leg, sc until next leg, sc around leg, sc, dec, 2sc, dec, sc, sc to finish round
R14: 2[dec, 4(2sc, dec)]
R14: 2(3sc, dec), 3sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 14sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 10sc
R15-16: all sc
R17: sc, dec, 2(4sc, dec), 5sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 4sc, dec, 5sc
R18: 3(dec, sc), 9sc, 3(dec, sc), 5sc
R19: all sc
Start stuffing if you haven't already. Stuff after each round after this if needed. Firmly stuffing keeps the pose better but less firm means more cuddly. Your choice!
R20: 2dec, sc, 2dec, 5sc, 2dec, sc, 2dec, 3sc
R21: 4dec, 2sc, 4dec, 2sc, 6dec
Leave a generous tail to sew up the body. Use the darning needle to sew, then snip the excess and hide the rest by either pushing it into the body with the hook or using the needle to pull it through the side.
Head
------
Start with baby blue. The Dark Ages are over and I started writing down the pattern properly again lol. (Sorry once again for the nightmare of the body)
R1: MC - 6 (6)
R2: Inc 6 (12)
R3: 6(sc, inc) (18)
R4: sc, inc, 5(2sc, inc), sc (24)
R5: 6(3sc, inc) (30)
R6: 2sc, inc, 5(4sc, inc), 2sc (36)
R7: 6(5sc, inc) (42)
R8: 3sc, inc, 5(6sc, inc), 3sc (48)
R9: 6(7sc, inc) (54)
R10: 4sc, inc, 5(8sc, inc), 4sc (60)
R11: 6(9sc, inc) (66)
R12: 5sc, inc, 5(10sc, inc), 5sc (72)
R13-25 (13 rows): 72sc (936) Good luck, soldier. Switch to green at row 14.
R26: 5sc, dec, 5(10sc, dec), 5sc (66)
R27: 6(9sc, dec) (60)
R28: 4sc, dec, 5(8sc, dec) 4sc (54)
R29: 6(7sc, dec) (48)
R30: 3sc, dec, 5(6sc, dec), 3sc (42)
R31: 6(5sc, dec) (36)
R32: 2sc, dec, 5(4sc, dec), 2sc (30)
Start stuffing if you haven't already. Stuff well to ensure your Chomp Kitty's head keeps the spherical shape. Continue to stuff after each round if needed.
R33: 6(3sc, dec) (24)

Cabled Cat Motif
Posted on request by @deathreceptors 😊 lmk if you need any extra explanation or tips or translations of my notation or anything!
Written to be worked flat, but can be made to work in round by just switching even numbered rows' Ks to Ps and vice versa! Aside from row 14, all even rows are just just K-ing the Ks and P-ing the Ps of your previous row anyways :)
Cable notation:
KC2B (knit cable 2 back): slip 2 sts to cable needle and hold in back, K next two sts on left needle, K sts from cable needle. Leans embossed shape outwards to the right.
KC2F: same as KC2B but hold cable needle with 2 stitches in front instead. Leans shape outwards to the left.
PC1B: slip 1 st to cab needle, hold in back, K1 from left needle, P1 from cab. Leans shape inwards to the right.
PC1F: slip 1 st to cab, hold in front, P1 from left needle, K1 from cab. Leans shape inwards to the left.
Pattern:
CO 14 or more sts. Motif is 14 sts wide (st count increases and then decreases again, which adds to 3D embossing effect, but starts and ends with 14sts) and this pattern only describes the motif w.o any border, but I always find a border of at least 2 or 3 stockinette sts, on either side of the motif P block, for contrast, looks really nice!
(RS) Row 0a (setup): stockinette 2 or 3 rows, or as many as you'd like
(WS) Row 0b (setup): K across
(RS) R1: P6, M1R, K2, M1L, P6 (16sts)
(WS) R2: K7, P4, K7
R3: P4, KC2B, KC2F, P4
R4: K4, P8, K4
R5: P2, KC2B, K4, KC2F, P2
R6: K2, P12, K2
R7: P2, M1R, K12, M1L, P2 (18sts)
R8: K2, P14, K2
R9: P2, SL1, K12, SL1, P2
R10: rep row 8
R11: rep row 9
R12: rep row 8
R13: rep row 9
R14: K2, P6, K2, P6, K2
R15: P2, K4, PC1B, P2, PC1F, K4, P2
R16: K2, P5, K4, P5, K2
R17: P2, SL1, K2, PC1B, P4, PC1F, K2, SL1, P2
R18: K2, P4, K6, P4, K2
R19: P2, SL1, K1, K2TOG, P6, SSK, K1, SL1, P2 (16 sts)
R20: K2, P3, K6, P3, K2
R21: P2, PC1F, K1, P6, K1, PC1B, P2
R22: K3, P2, K6, P2, K3
R23: P3, K2TOG, P6, SSK, P3 (14 sts)
(WS) R24: K across
(RS) R25: K across
(WS) R26: P across
Cont in stockinette or whatever you'd like! But I do find it looks best to close the shape off on top with one row of purls and then a minimum of 2 rows of knits, when looking at the RS of the piece.
There are like at least 3 different variances I tried and I liked this one, but I could also see it being a little jackal-like with the long ears, and it might be your preference to do the 2nd decrease row a row or two earlier than in this version. Another variance is switching one or two of the cables and/or decreases for the ears to the inner side of the ears to make them taper more to the center of each half of the face instead of following the outside line. I didn't like that shape as much for my project but everyone's taste is different!
I sewed on eyes but it works maybe even better with safety eyes. And sewing on the whiskers add a huge amount, really changes the shape and makes it look really good and cat-like really quickly.
Happy craftin yall! 🥰

Little Peter Parker hc’s!!
General:
•He either regresses to 0-3 or 4-6
•His caregivers are Tony,Ned and aunt May
•But he also has other people that take care of him a lot when he’s small,like Mj,Happy,Steve & Wanda
•Pretty much all of the avengers will not hesitate to take care of him tho
•His favorite stuffie is a monkey and he carries it with him absolutely everywhere
•The only people that know about him being a regressor are in his closer inner circle.It’s something he likes to keep private
•Before he told anyone about him being little,he used to absolutely neglect his sleep for it.At night he’d already be outside spidey-ing,and instead of napping in the afternoon he’d use it as his little time and watch cartoons and play
•But he told people and they helped him get a healthy schedule for it
When he’s 0-3:
•Absolutely obsessed with dinosaurs.
•The Land Before Time is his absolute favorite movie
•He’s fussy with food a lot.He drinks up bottles and eats food he’s familiar with without making much of a mess and behaving really good,but the second someone tries to feed him something he doesn’t know,he will be a mess.He closes his mouth shut,cries,and if he keeps being pressured he’ll throw a whole tantrum.It could even be food he already knows just in a different shape,nope,nuh-uh,he’s not eating that (in the end he’ll think it’s yummy and eat even more off his cg’s plate)
•Sometimes sleeping is very difficult for him.He needs lots of reassurance,kisses,cuddles,a warm bottle,a nightlight,a bedtime story or lullaby and his stuffie
•He also gets lots of bad dreams,so often less than half the night is spent in his own bed and the most of it in his cg’s
•He’s a curious baby,whenever something happens he’s gotta be there and see
•Sometimes walking can be a little hard for him,but he crawls absolutely everywhere (luckily he doesn’t know how to use his spidey powers when he’s that young…)
•He loves the ocean sooo much,so aquarium trips are a must!!
•Playground trips are always great too,that boy could play in the sand for hours in pouring rain and he’d still be all smiles
•Wherever he goes,his stuffie Monkey has to come with.It’s not a want,it’s a need.If it doesn’t come,he doesn’t either
•Loves Bluey!!His favorite episodes are “Bumpy and the Wise Old Wolfhound” and “Sleepytime” (Seriously tho,Sleepytime is the best episode)
When he’s 4-6:
•He’s a very creative kid,give him some legos and he’ll build an entire castle
•He likes to color!!Especially with crayons
•Still obsessed with dinosaurs.Although with this age range,he prefers to watch the jurassic park/world movies over the land before time
•Loves loves loves superheroes so much!He has an iron man Halloween costume that he wears like every day
•He’s a good kid,he doesn’t break rules…but he does like to push them a bit (a lot)
•Will randomly drop fun facts all the time,like “Did you know that Australia is wider than the moon?”
• And how could I forget,he is OBSESSED with Star Wars (Me too,Petey,me too)
•Has multiple lightsabers (thanks to Tony,these things are so expensive),his room is full of Star Wars posters,he has a massive R2-D2 pillow,and on Halloween he likes to dress up as Chewbacca
•Will also reference Star Wars at any chance he gets.Does anyone (but Ned) get it?No.Will he still continue?Absolutely
•Also,MOVIE NIGHTS.Like,every movie night it’s a decision between dinosaur movies and Star Wars,and believe me when I say that is a very hard decision.Sometimes he’ll just sit in front of two dvds for half an hour just to decide which one to watch
•Discovered that he can stick to things.Luckily he doesn’t know about the webs,but every now and then his cg will just hear giggling above them and when they look up he’ll just be chilling on the ceiling
I have so many more oh my god

5 reasons why Kagino doesn't work (and 3 reasons why Kalulu does)
I was planning to prepare the small analysis of the final scene of the last episode of the first season, but, given the latest events that have occurred on my other Code Geass page, I decided to postpone it and work on a publication that I had planned for the future: explaining why Kagino is the most forced ship in Code Geass, besides Lelouch and CC in the infamous movie Lelouch of the Aberration (you will know it as Lelouch of the Resurrection). Also why Kagino is one of the worst ships in Code Geass. Please note that I use the term ship because this is a fandom pairing. Gino was never a love interest for Kallen and vice versa, according to official material (including the series).
1.It's a forced ship. This ship was invented by the Newtype magazine, which was ProCluClu, after they tried to do the same with Xingke and the ship had no support. What is the need to promote this ship? Kallen was becoming too close to Lelouch for the liking of CluClu fans, so it had to get her rival out of the way, and what better way for her heart to have an owner other than Lelouch? Actually, there could be other ways, but even the CluClu shippers saw the chemistry and sexual tension between Lelouch and Kallen. She was a threat, from their point of view. I have emphasized this because ""coincidentally"" the CluClu shippers are the only ones who pair Kallen with Gino (yes, I'm seeing that they are realizing that they are losing credibility due to their bias, so they are trying to hide what they are pretending they are Shirlulu or Kalulu shippers; they clearly don't understand what they are doing wrong, right?). The other 0.0002% are people who ship them because they believe that CluClu is canon and Kallen is alone and deserves someone to take care of her heart, but, as Miley Cyrus said in her powerful song, Kallen can buy herself flowers, ask herself to dance, telling herself things that only she understands, holding her own hand and loving herself and being happy.
Kallen is a romantic interest of Lelouch. You can see their relationship develop and take on a romantic nature as the episodes go by in R2. There is a narrative construction. Unfortunately, I won't be able to track their relationship here since that requires a separate analysis.
2. The "other reasons" that accompany this ship are superficial. The ship background that I expressed above is the real reason. There are no other compelling reasons to pair Kallen and Gino apart from the fact that they are both handsome, the same age, they exchanged a few words, and they are Knightmares pilots. Still, for CluClu shippers, those reasons are enough to prove that they are "soulmates." It's complete nonsense. You have work colleagues or study partners and your mother or your friends or your teacher or your boss aren't matching you with any of them, right? Furthermore, Suzaku also meets these requirements and no one is pairing him with Kallen (for the record, I find this ship interesting; but I don't think it works in the context of the series either).
My point is that just because two people are contemporary, attractive and (more or less) doing the same job doesn't mean that they are each other's ideal partner or that love will arise between them. Love is a spontaneous and free thing, which brings me to my next point…
3. Gino and Kallen have no romantic attraction for each other or sexual tension. The biggest "evidence" there is in favor of this ship and surely what started this nonsense was a comment Gino makes in episode 9. But, far from demonstrating a romantic interest or sexual attraction for Kallen, it shows that the fandom has problems of reading comprehension. Let's see, read the comment: "Anya: This is the ace of the Black Knights. The pilot of the Guren. Gino: Yes, the one from before. She is much prettier than the wanted poster of her. "That's my kind of woman!" What does this tell us? 1. That Gino recognizes that Kallen is pretty. 2. That the type of women Gino is attracted to are pretty. There is a big difference between "I like women like you" and "I like you." Just because you appreciate a person's beauty doesn't automatically mean that you like him, that is orthodox and childish thinking (this makes me think of men with fragile masculinity who refuse to admit that another man seems handsome to them because they think they would look like homosexuals and they have been made to believe that masculinity and homosexuality don't go together). Even more important is Kallen's reaction, when he makes the comment: she just turns away. She doesn't smile or blush. Zero interest.
This is very different from what happens between Lelouch and Kallen. She does react to Lelouch's comments, no matter how minor they may be. Like this double entender in episode 5. "Kallen: Are you talking like Zero or Lelouch right now? Lelouch: It's not like everyone knows about our relationship, right? Kallen * blushes *: Stop saying weird things like that, okay?"
Just a few days ago I read a phrase on Twitter (or X) that said that the moment preceding the kiss was even more valuable than the kiss itself. That's where you find the so-called sexual tension and Lelouch and Kallen had two moments like that. Three, if you want to tell the dialogue that preceded the kiss in episode 22. I will go into more detail about the kiss and the two almost kisses of Lelouch and Kallen the day I'm going to talk about those things from theory. In fact, I don't want to stop to examine the romantic relationship between Lelouch and Kallen like I said.
Gino and Kallen never flirted or had intimate moments. At most, they only poked each other in the last Picture Drama, but it was a display of friendly rivalry. No other thing. Pretending that that never happened, there is one moment in particular that I want us to review, as I consider it crucial to explain why this ship doesn't work:
4. Gino didn't accept Kallen because of who she is. At some point in episode 17, Gino is looking for Suzaku and went to visit Kallen in her cell believing he was there. Instead of leaving, he shows her the photo album he was originally going to show Suzaku and they start talking about him (did I tell you that it makes more sense that Gino would be more romantically interested in Suzaku than in Kallen? I'll tell you again, so). The conversation changes and Gino starts talking about Kallen.
"Gino: I understand that you are half Britannian and half Japanese, right? If you chose the name Stadtfeld instead of Kouzuki, you could have a good life, right? Even become one of the Knights of the Round if you have such ambitions. Kallen: Is this going anywhere? Gino: What I mean is, wouldn't you like to come back to us, Kallen?" What is wrong here? That Gino doesn't understand nor is interested in understanding why Kallen chose to embrace the cause of the Japanese and the Black Knights. Instead, Gino brazenly advises her to abandon everything and join them since life is much more comfortable fighting on Britannia's side (this is the kind of flippant comment that comes from the mouth of a person who is in a position of privilege, if you ask me).
Gino doesn't realize that Kallen's motivations for fighting are tied to her principles and ideals. Therefore, this is like asking Kallen to give up who she is: an ally of justice, a patriotic woman, and a defender of freedom. This reflects a clear disinterest on Gino's part and this is a problem because you can't love someone without knowing them and accepting them for who they are.
This is in stark contrast to Lelouch. While Gino asks Kallen to turn her back on her beliefs, her values, and the people she cares about (the Japanese and her family), Lelouch prefers to push Kallen away from him rather than force her to give up her principles and her life for him because, for Lelouch, Kallen's well-being and integrity are much more important than being together. This is the true definition of love.
5. Gino and Kallen don't share principles. A couple doesn't have to be two conjoined twins. They may have different tastes, ways of thinking, preferences, interests, hobbies… If they truly love each other, they will learn to adapt to each other because one doesn't really change who they are for another person. But a couple needs to have, at least, the same values, ideals and life plans (I would add, also certain beliefs). Otherwise, it will be difficult for this relationship to prosper.
Gino is a Knight of the Round and has been an active collaborator in the conquest and colonization of independent nations. He clearly agrees with Britannia's expansionist policy. He has no problem with imperialism or colonialism. Kallen, on the other hand, belongs to the largest insurgent group fighting against Britannia and fighting in the name of freedom, justice and equality. She detests colonialism and imperialism due to her own experience, so she disagrees with expansionism. These discrepancies would prevent Gino and Kallen from having anything (that is, they wouldn't even have been friends).
Only Gino showed some empathy with Kallen, when Lelouch killed the Emperor and usurped the throne, claiming that he finally understood what it feels like to have another come to take power illegitimately and arbitrarily. However, a coup d'état is not the same as colonialism and, of course, this doesn't mean that Gino will change his principles. Only he's going to have a just reason to fight (finally). It would have been better if Gino had apologized to Kallen, but that was an act that required a great deal of effort.
Lelouch, for his part, is a rebel at heart like Kallen. He may have lied about many things, but he genuinely believes in the ideals that he has preached as Zero and Kallen welcomed them as her own because they fit her values, which are no different from Lelouch's. It's not a coincidence. There is a small parallel between the dramatic situation of the Japanese and that of Lelouch and Nunnally. They were all dispossessed of what they had, including their identity, and forced to live as strangers in their land. Therefore, Lelouch and Kallen are more compatible. Even if they hadn't met in Shijunku, sooner or later their paths would cross over their hatred of Britannia, their contempt for the empire's Social Darwinist ideology, and their desire to change the world (well, this desire would germinate in Kallen once she met to Lelouch who, in turn, would obtain it as soon as he received the Geass).
The same can be said about Lelouch's other ships, by the way. Shirley wants to be a loving wife and have a happy family, CC wants to die (at the end of the series, she is focused on living every small moment of her life to the fullest just like Jamie Foxx's character in Soul) and Suzaku wants to change.the system from within. I won't enter the swampy terrain of reviewing the ideals and values of these characters. It's not my goal.
In conclusion, Gino and Kallen don't stick with glue or tape. Lelouch is emerging as a more worthy suitor, despite everything. And, therefore, Karen-chan only has eyes for him. Kalulu is better.
PS: of course, a fanfic could correct all of these things. But I don't think it even exists and I'm focusing only on the series, too.
