3 Ships

Canon Ship: Oh boy. This is where my age shows… you know what? I'll throw out Age of Apocalypse Wolverine with AOA Jean Grey. (NOT their 616 versions; that ship has issues.) I just liked the idea of these two being partners first, and then a couple second.

OC Ship: My Jedi Knight / Outlander, Corellan Halcyon, and Kira Carsen. I can't tell you how much time I've put into them.

Ship of the Week: I actually can't tell you this, because its the core of my "current" WIP! All I can say is that they are both minor characters from SWTOR, and they've been living rent-free in my head for awhile!

1st Ship NO ONE remembers back then. We didn't even have paper; we used papyrus. But since rajakaen put Mulder & Scully in my head, I'll roll with that. (Certainly better than Ross and Rachel from Friends. It took me years to see how toxic that got.)

Last Song: Britt Nicole - Welcome to the Show (I have eclectic music tastes.)

Current reading: Its been awhile since I actually finished a book…

God Emperor of Dune - Frank Herbert

Light of the Jedi - Charles Soule

Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy - John le Carré

Kith & Kin - Marieke Nijkamp

God i need to finish one of these….

Last Film: Oppenheimer. I only count films I've actually watched in the theater; not films I've rewatched via streaming.

Craving: My addiction to Dunkin Iced Coffee is my own business and no one else.

post a paragraph, snippet, screenshot, or drawing layer of your current project! (✿◕‿◕✿) tag 5 people to post teasers of their wips too

making short progress on my current fic writing but ehhhh, my writing's not perfect to the point I stress over perfectionism.

“And, what of the dissidents?” Ania asked, albeit sceptical over the direction this conversation was going, “Are they opposing against the Emperor or seeking for the destruction of the Empire?"

Ania may be an Imperial but she had no love for the Emperor in general after all the warnings her father and aunt endured in their past serving for him.

Until certain Sith began to spark rumours about the Emperor's absence as many on the Dark Council withheld information that paved a way for the eldest Heir to step up to the throne.

“That remains to be seen but do not underestimate our enemies.” Jadus warned with caution, “Powerful or not--there are those who sympathise with the dissidents, those who critically expressed their views on the Force."

Tagged by @frauleiiin, thank youuuuu fren! ❤

3 ships

Canon ship: Leia Organa and Han Solo, not taking questions, they are perfect >.>

OC Ship: I don't talk about my very many blorbos enough but I think Ambaras and Rass Ordo live rent free in my head these days.

Ship of the week: Vi and Caitlyn, I mean have you seen Arcane, these two are absolutely amazing.

First ship

Probably gonna be Ichigo and Rukia from Bleach, I feel like I'm aging myself immensely here. XD I was very much into Bleach as a kid and always thought IchiRuki is the way to go. Big disappoint in the end i guess, but should have seen it coming.

Last song

B.Y.O.B. by SOAD, because I've been enjoying some classics recently.

Currently reading

Started The Witcher books, currently barely few pages in on Blood of Elves, to my defense I'm raising I'm trying to read in Romanian and it's hard, man. 🤣

Last film

I have to admit I haven't been watching anything recently and to be honest there hasn't been any new movies that got my attention, so I'll cheat a bit and say Arcane, because I've been re-watching it recently

Currently craving

I'd eat some ice cream, you know?

Do you give art critique? :>

Flattered that you would ask! But honestly, I’m still figuring out how to do a lot of fundamentals myself 😅 What I saw of your art looks lovely!

General advice: Keep practicing, try new things, take classes/watch videos :) If you’re aiming to do art professionally, study the art created by pros in the field (specifically the niche you want to be in) and make your own projects that practice those skills. Character design? Create turnarounds and expression sheets. Environmental design? Practice backgrounds and set designs. Comics? Try turning a short story/movie scene into a comic - practice panel layout, composition, and lettering. You’ll learn a lot and also create art for your portfolio :)

[D-O says thank you for the ask]

In this huge walkthrough you can find an influence guide for all conversations (INF - INF +). The whole text is a bit tldr but once you know how it works it'll be pretty fast to find certain lines in there. STRG + F is your best friend with this guide :)

that’s the one i used! i didn’t see atton’s influence loss for mical joining though so i started doubting how thorough it was

I'm captivated by Corellan's personality in your narrative. Could you share more about his defining traits? For me, your JK comes across as a dedicated, humble and compassionate person who shows strong protective instincts, bravery and resilience in the face of adversity. I greatly admire his commitment to seeking peaceful solutions. But I'm curious, how would you describe his overall personality and his approach to his bond with Kira while remaining true to his and the Jedi Order's ideals?

Thanks for this ask, @rajakaen !

Corellan was raised in a rather isolated Jedi enclave on Uphrades. It was two semi-retired Jedi Masters, Sagottoh Panaka and Nowan Ko Detizu, with eight younglings, the eldest of whom was 14, the youngest of whom was five. Because of that isolation, his perspective on certain things was very skewed.

You speak of his humility, and yes, its true to an extent. But he genuinely thought he was going to get to Tython, and there's be fifty other padawans just like him.

So he was a little confused by a lot of stuff he experienced on Tython, but Master Sagottoh instilled in him a full-steam ahead mentality, so he pushed through. It was only after chapter one of the Jedi Knight story that he actually caught his breath enough to understand a few things.

Kira… was a surprise to him. He had no context whatsoever for his feelings towards her.

When she kissed him, it brought clarity.

Did he feel conflicted? Sure. But his biggest concern during that time was that if they were discovered, that Kira would be expelled. She'd worked very hard to become a Jedi Knight, and he didn't want to ruin things for her.

But he can't run away from it. If he tried, he'd probably crack, the way Malgus did after he killed Eleena.

It got easier after they joined the Alliance, of course.

Thanks for the ask!
