Five things the Spectres found out about Kallus and one he told them himself

As you want to friend :] (and then ima try and invade All My Love after our shift! I've been looking forward to that for awhile now!!)

Thank you for asking friends! 💛

5+1 Zeb+singing is here 🧡

Five things the Spectres found out about Kallus and one he told them himself is here ❤️

(There's a lot I have to say about OCD wip so I'm gonna post it in another post)

Alrighty, so Force Kallus is, like the title suggests, about Force-Sensitive Kallus

If someone is intrigued enough by that, here's the link to the first chapter I already published a while ago- if you don't want spoilers, I would advise not reading more of this post before you read the chapter 💛

a blind man needs no looking glass

Now back to the topic

The first few chapters are (or will be) dedicated mainly to Kallus' backstory- the first one already touches on his childhood and what part the Force played in it.

As a sewer rat/street kid in the lower levels of Coruscant, Alexsandr learned to be sneaky and quick in order to survive on his own- he knows how to steal, shoplift, pick pockets or even straight up convince someone to help him out with a credit of two. The last one especially requiers an ability he mastered as a kid- he looks the person straight in the eyes and concentrates fully on the tjings he's about to say, believes it fully as he says: "give me a credit" or "it wasn't me" when someone catches him shiplifting or emptying their pockets. They let him go, do nithing as he runs away with his prize. It helps him survive.

In the 1st chapter, he runs away from a shop he just stole a pack of ration bars from. He didn't have enough focus to make his trick work so now what's left for him to do it outrun the shopowner and he almost managed to do that- before he runs into some kid and spills the bars. And Alexsandr feels something strange in the air as he looks at the kid- and soon he feels it even stronger when some woman shows up and asks what happened, but before they can fully explain, the shop owner catches up. To help him out, the strange woman mives her hand in front of the man's eyes and convinces him to return to his work as if nothing happened- Alexsandr recognizes immediately that she's performing his trick. He connects the dots and realises that- no. Nope. Not yet. He's in denial.

After that, he swears off of using it ever again. He somehow survives a year or two without it.

Then one day something very painful explodes in the air, causing him to scream as his entire body twists in some strange pain- as if he was hearing thousands of people screaming all at once, he's so cold he feels like he's freezing, he can almost feel the physical pain the owners of the unbearable voices must be feeling to scream like that-

And then there's just... silence. Awful, deep silence, it's all so quiet he barely even hears his own thoughts. He stills and can barely hear his own heart that was beating so loudly a moment ago. He stays like that, laying on the floor, with tears on his face and the memory of pain fresh in his mind, for hours. But he feels nothing. Except that horrible coldness that never leaves.

He tries to forget that moment. In the Academy, in the Empire after that, he pushes it away and away but it never leaves him.

As he works for the Empire, he masks his Force-sensitivity well wenough to fool the Inquisitor, but it takes a huge toll on him. Even more so when he has to fool Vader. But he manages, he does it well and it's working, because well, he's still alive, isn't he?

He knows that the Force could help him catch the Rebels, he knows it will make him an even more valuable tool for the Empire, but he never let's anyone know about it.

Officially? Because he swore off using it a long time ago, he doesn't want to use it ever again after it caused him that awful feeling back when he was a child, when everything in the Galaxy went cold and quiet and still.

Unofficially? He's scared of what the Empire might do once they realise they have a Force-sensitive within their reach. But he doesn't admit it, even to himself.

When he meets Ezra, he dismisses the weird feeling, focusing on his work instead. When he meets Kanan, he feels that pull in the air again and he knows that Kanan is a Jedi a moment before he draws his lightsaber. To him, it just means that there are two more people he absolutely needs to catch (and two more people who he needs to mask in front of- if he can't have the Empire knowing he's Force-sensitive, he surely can't let the enemy know)

For now that's all I'll be giving you, I have some very brief ideas about what happend post-Atollon tho, so I might work on it and maybe post a new chapter after my exams are finished

Meenah: dance like nobody's watching, shiplift like nobody's watching, commit arson like nobody's watching, saboatage police vehicles like nobody's watching, destroy cctv cameras like-

once saw a pompompurin plush keychain and he had these LONG skinny legs because it was clearly made from a like human template . And every day ithink fuck i should have stolen him . I wish i had shiplifted that thing so bad

[tea-and-secrets]

In the old secrets blog I admitted to shiplifting 300$ usd worth of books and other trinkets, Im still guilty about it because I havent stopped! I wish my brain didnt immediately go "lets shoplift to feel better!" in the face of seasonal depression

So, after looking into it a (admittedly cursory) bit, I think the "Target is unusually dangerous for shiplifters" idea originated with Target employees revealing information about Target's (afaik) fairly run-of-the-mill LP practices, and then the narrative spiraled out from there into (e.g.) conspiracy theories about baiting and tracking young shoplifters as a form of voter disenfranchisement.

Like, every article I've found claiming that Target is unusually dangerous provides as evidence either:

standard LP policies presented as genuis-level machinations: LP personnel in stores, CCTV, EAS, etc.

TikTok shit that is absolutely not true: e.g. this Sun article that claims Target forces repeat shoplifters into indentured servitude

shoplifting is a high vibrational activity, shame and guilt arent. so spiritually you’re fine as long as you dont feel bad about it.

Winter is coming

Because of the issues with leaking boat, i had decide to lift up boat earlier than usually. S/y west wind at winter storage stand Boat was transported nice and safely to winter place. Here she had to be prepared for cold season. First i took all unnecessary bed clothes and other sailing stuff out and place them to storage. Then i had to drive engine with sweet water and glycol. This will clean…

These posters are so beautiful

[rainbowloliofjustice]

Honestly, it’s hilarious when pro-communist think that communism will “solve” the problem of shoplifting or that they can just take whatever they want under communism lmao. 

Dude under communism you can literally get executed for stealing and the only thing to steal are (occasionally) bread because the stores probably don’t have anything else while they give out meal tickets so people can have a chance of eating and no one is allowed to buy more food.
