Wearing a helmet as an adult always makes me feel kind of silly, but I’ve had a concussion before and I absolutely do not want a repeat experience lol I’ve recently taken up roller skating and I saw this lovely tattoo design and wanted to do my own take to spice up my helmet and make me feel excited to wear it instead of vaguely embarrassed.
Tumblr media
The plants here are mistletoe (overcoming hardship, resilience, understanding) and azaleas (taking care of yourself & others, patience) with one of my favourite Astarion quotes (obviously).
I feel like I have to put something on the other side now to balance it out, but I have no idea what! Suggestions are totally welcome.
Some details below the cut for anyone interested on how I made it so you can make your own fun helmet!
I drew out a mock up in procreate so I could plan for the space and get an idea of scale.
Tumblr media
I then vectorized some of it (I should have done all of it but didn’t want to redraw all the plants again cause I’m lazy lol) in affinity designer. Exported those layers into PNGs/SVGs to cut out with my cricut! The decal is cut out of adhesive vinyl, matte white and some metallic pink for ✨pzazz✨ What followed was several hours and several attempts at crafting BS wherein I kept telling myself “I’m never doing this again” all while knowing that that was almost certainly a lie.
literally everything that could go wrong did go wrong there may have been some tears at one point
Tumblr media Tumblr media
ANYWAY if you’ve read this far thanks for tuning into unscheduled & unsolicited craft hour with Sara ❤️

Prompt 15: Thunderous
Tumblr media
Despite the sword in his hand, raised and pointed at another, Esredes was quite calm in the present situation.
It was just a mere lone Dragoon, which was not exactly something to take as mere even alone, but Esredes wasn’t going to let the supposed danger get to him. He had the high ground in one way he could work with- the mind.
For the Dragoon was not taking seeing the dragon it had attempted to attack shifting down into a person and drawing its sword very well.
“You’re supposed to be gone,” the Dragoon said, taking a step back with his grip on the lance tightening further. “How the hell are you still a person, heretic?!” “Ease yourself,” Esredes commanded with simplicity, as if he had any authority to do so, and slowly circled the Dragoon while keeping his sword pointed at him. “If you try to strike me again, I can go between shapes and throw you distances you could leap. How about we slow down a moment and put aside the adrenaline rushes? You might have struck first, but I am not exactly looking to kill somebody today.” “What the hells,” the Dragoon said. He did not, in fact, do anything Esredes asked, and only followed him as he circled. “I’m not here to talk to heretics.” “I wasn’t exactly searching for conversation myself either, but you came into my domain without invitation. It’s rather unavoidable at that point,” Esredes retorted. “The blood does not consume me, if you must ask. I am perfectly able to bend it to my will. It’s possible if you don’t immediately go overboard on such an aetherically charged substance, you see.” “Why are you out here.” “Just hunting the day’s supply,” Esredes said. “And what about you? What brings you out here alone without any of your comrades to attack a dragon minding its own business in uncivilized territory?” “Why don’t you ask yourself the same question, heretic?!” Esredes paused at this, staring the man down before deciding his best reaction was to pull his sword back for a moment, just a moment, and shrug. “I wasn’t looking to attack anyone but some wild beast. I don’t see how it applies. I was minding my own business, yes?” He decided to bring his sword back in a more defensive position instead of pointing it right at him. “Some heretics are better at minding their own business than others, you’ll find out. Your kind doesn’t learn that in training.” “And you expect me to buy that for a second? That you took the blood just to hunt wild animals??” “I didn’t claim that much. That’s another subject entirely. It is a curse brought upon me I did not ask to receive.” “What the hell does that mean? You took it. You poured that vile substance down your throat in a desperate grab for power.” “I think you know what it means.” Esredes said, peering into that helmet as if he could see through it to the man’s eyes. “Haven’t you ever seen it happen for yourself? I’m simply one of the lucky ones, is all.” The Dragoon was silent to that, but from the way his body tensed up, Esredes could decipher his shot in the dark had landed. “I know,” he said in a softer voice. “I wouldn’t wish it upon anyone, to go through that. Whoever it was, I can only hope you were able to slaughter those responsible.” “She was my wife,” the Dragoon said. “She was out on a caravan run, you bastards attacked her and forced it down her throat. By the time the knights came, there was nothing but a monster left… And yet you’re right here, as if you hadn’t just… Why a filthy bastard like you, and not her?!” Esredes lowered his sword completely to his side and frowned. “I’m sorry for your loss.” He said. “You’re right. I am certainly less worthy than your wife. Much as I try to see otherwise, the world’s natural justice is completely misguided like that. And so that’s it since, hmm? Even all your training and the memories you relive, over and over and over again, all the dragons you kill- none of it is enough to replace the hole she left in you. None of it will ever be enough.” That would have to be it, that would be the story. When one puzzle piece came to you, the rest fit so neatly. And the way the Dragoon’s grip only seemed to further lose stability was enough confirmation for Esredes he had guessed the mark correctly. “I can hear it,” he continued. “The screaming in your own mind. You are screaming very, very loudly, and no one around hears it but you. That must be painful to listen to after a while, hmm?”
“Shut up!” The Dragoon screamed, thrusting his lance forward towards Esredes, who quickly jumped back and away from it. “Shut the HELL up, you son of a bitch! You took her away from me!” He leapt at Esredes, and Esredes raised his hand up, firing a pink beam that hit right through the Dragoon’s helmet. The man screamed again and stumbled to his knees, planting his hands in the ground and just screaming a few more times. Esredes flinched at the noise. He backed further away from the Dragoon and waited until the noise calmed down to speak. “I’m sorry,” he said. “You came too close and I had to react. It’s harmless, now that it’s wore off you’re fine. Are you okay?” “No I’m not fucking okay!” The Dragoon pulled himself to his feet and picked up his spear in one hand, staring down Esredes. “Speak any more and I will rip out your tongue!” “Look, look.” Esredes said. “I did not turn your wife. And so you haven’t answered my question. Did the knights kill the one who did?” “No,” he replied. “Everyone was gone but her.” “Hmm, hmm.” Esredes raised an arm up by his cheek, resting its elbow on top of his other arm. “Then I understand why you want to blame me. You never got true justice for such a crime. But taking shots in the dark aren’t going to bring you any closer to finding it out, yes?” He took a few steps closer to the man. “I have a proposition for you, if you would be willing to hear it out. For better and worse, I know much of the sort of heresy that happens out here. Some of it harmless, some of it downright horrible. There are groups like the one you describe hiding in deep shadows everywhere, who kidnap civilians and military for the fun of watching them turn into monsters. I was a Temple Knight once myself, before my curse was laid upon me. Yet even as a mere knight of the wilderness, seeing to justice has not left me. I want to find them, and I want to kill them. So do you. Why don’t I help you figure out who it is, so you may capture them and do as you please with them? All I ask of you in turn is to not kill me.” There were faint tear streaks visible under the helmet’s coverage by this point. Esredes observed the Dragoon a long moment, then walked over and stood in front of him, holding a hand out. “You don’t have to suffer alone,” he said. “You deserve to have peace, and to be able to grieve with closure.” “I’m not touching your hand.” The Dragoon said. “Put it away. If you’re going to claim to know anything, then you better say it now or else, heretic. I want the truth and nothing else. I am not here to give into the lies of your kind.” “Very well.” Esredes put his hand behind his back. “Sheathe your weapon and I sheathe mine, all right?” The Dragoon did as requested, and Esredes put away his sword. Now both of his hands were clasped behind his back.
“Start from the beginning and tell me what you can of what happened. Any little piece of information could be a lead…”

Which Kind Do You Want to Be?
Summary: You’re from a deeply sex-positive culture. He hasn’t gone unarmored in front of another human in... It’s been a very long time.
Three days on board the Razor Crest featuring moments of angst, domesticity, kindness, explicit consent, and Din doing his best to be a conscientious parent in the midst of everything. Heads up for descriptions of canon-typical violence, mention of past dubious consent, and a moment of (unintentional) violence between our protagonists. Din/cis female OC, on the hetero end of the scale. Ending is bittersweet.
Rating: Mature? Explicit? Anyhow, grown-up sexy stuff in later chapters. Please be old enough to be reading this kind of thing.
Watch for upcoming chapters here, or read the complete story on AO3. 
Chapter 1
He's sitting there looking at you, head tilted, and it's like somebody needed an illustration of curiosity for a children's book so they drew this Mandalorian and stuck that on the page.
"Isn't 'stop' good enough?" he says.
"Sometimes people like to say that and not mean it. Having a different word lets you both know you don't want what's happening anymore."
"If I say stop, I'll mean it."
There's something about that voice modulator that makes everything he says sound final.
The two of you are sitting across from each other on the floor, in the cramped hold of the Razor Crest. You're dressed in your usual practical trousers and shirt, but you've kicked your boots into a corner and your rifle's propped against a nearby wall.
He's still wearing the beskar.
The child is spending the night with Peli, who took him delightedly, crooning about getting him some decent food and a nice soft place to sleep. 
She also spared a moment for you, looking you up and down before shooting a pointed look at the armored man beside you. "It's about time."
"Can you trust her?" you asked on the way up the ramp, as Peli and the child disappeared into her shop.
He shrugged. "With my life? No. With his? Yes."
How exactly does this man decide whom to trust with his life? 
You've known each other, what, a few days? The acid burn on your right shoulder is still raw, the skin still peeling away in shreds. Interesting lesson, that. Gark-vipers don't bite, they spit. 
The scar will be your souvenir from a three-day trek through the jungles of Silicaria. One day in to snatch the little green rug-rat back from the bounty hunters who took him, two days back on tired legs, without food and no idea if the water in the streams you passed was safe.
You were hired help at the beginning. 
By the end, between fighting off hungry jungle creatures, sharing watches through pitch-black nights, and taking turns carrying the kid, you and this man were something like friends. 
Not that you didn't still collect your credits. A girl's gotta eat.
But you also didn't turn down the chance to get cleaned up in his ship's refresher, or to bunk down in a corner of the hold for a decent night's sleep.
He got the baby to bed first, briskly bathing the yawning little creature in the galley sink, then wrapping him up in a clean blanket and tucking him into a hammock in what looked like the man's own sleeping quarters. 
Then he indicated the refresher and sonic shower for you to use. "I'll wait upstairs." 
It was nice of him to give you privacy to get cleaned up and changed, even if it seemed a bit odd to you. Where you come from the human body's nothing to be ashamed of. But not all cultures see things that way.
Clearly his did not. You'd think after what you'd both been through, he'd want to get into some comfy clothes and leave the armor in storage for a while. But no, he switched places with you in the cockpit, disappeared down into the hold, and came back up a little later smelling a heck of a lot better but fully decked out again.
"I promise I'm not dangerous," you said, teasing.
It was a little insulting how easily he said, "I know." But he added, "I have food. If you're still hungry," and that felt like something a friend would say. So you bit back the temptation to remind him that if you wanted to, you could be dangerous, indeed.
The Razor Crest's food stores were nothing to write home about. Your body was going to make good use of the calories though, whether they tasted good or not. You leaned against the galley cabinet and gnawed on a protein bar. He started working on cleaning weapons and putting them away in what looked like a small but impressive armory.
"So what's the deal with the outfit?" Curiosity wasn't a sin where you came from, either.
"What do you mean?"
"You're home, right? We've agreed I'm not dangerous. Who are you planning to fight?"
"I'm not," he said, settling a blaster in its place next to an array of grenades. 
"So?"
"Mandalorians don't go unarmored around anyone but family."
You were struck by a sudden image of him with the kid, the two of them playing tag or something down here among the crates and stowed weapons. The kid in his little brown robes and the Mandalorian in, what? A pair of soft trousers, maybe a shirt that showed his arms. Barefoot, maybe. Probably hair all a mess. If he had hair. Or would he shave his head?
You had to shake your own head to get the image to clear.
"Huh," you said in reply. "Really? I crossed paths with some guys like you, a couple years back. They didn't seem to have any issue."
You were surprised to hear a sigh. "There are different kinds of Mandalorians."
"Do you get to choose?"
He didn't answer. 
You finished up the protein bar and looked around for somewhere to toss the wrapper. There wasn't an obvious wastebin, so when he looked back your way again you held it up, inquiring.
"Behind the door, lower left," he said. And then, "You don't get to choose."
"Who chooses for you, then?"
He turned back to the armory. It looked to you like everything was in its place now, but he lifted out the grenades, turned them over in his hands, put them back. "I was a foundling," he said. "They raised me in the Way."
How he said "the Way," you could hear the emphasis, like it was a sacred word. "A foundling? Like your kid?"
"Yes."
"So, you're going to teach him to live like this, too?"
The answer came quickly: "No." He closed the armory doors. They latched with a clicking sound. "We should go."
"We?"
"The child and I need to get off-world. Someone knew we were here. Where do you want to go?"
What made him think you didn't already belong in the village where he met you?
"You're not from here."
No, you weren't. The place you're from isn't there anymore, though, thanks to the Empire. 
It wasn't a story you cared to tell right then. 
"Sure, yeah, wherever you're headed next." Anywhere you could find work would do. "I'll jump off at the next port." You indicated your shoulder, where the acid burn still stung. "As long as they don't have gark-vipers."
You slept cozily enough that night, wrapped in a blanket he gave you and using the bivy bag from your own pack as padding beneath. At one point you woke to the sound of the child fussing, followed by the man's voice softly singing. The child quieted down and you found yourself lulled back to sleep, too.
“Are you sure the kid’s safe down there?” 
“He’s safe.”
You’re picturing the dusty repair yard, the bare-bones shop behind it, the handful of repair droids who were probably great with wrenches but not so much with guns. Peli looked like she had some wiry strength to her, but she was on her own. “She a former soldier or something?”
“She has a safe-room behind a hidden panel with a ten-centimeter durasteel door. They’ll be fine.”
Your eyebrows go up. Mos Eisley looks like a shambling backwater town. 
“Tatooine has wildlife. Some of it has guns.”
You glance at your own rifle, leaning against the wall nearby. You’ve fought off some of that kind of wildlife before. 
What a strange family you’ve fallen in with. 
“All right,” you say. “Good. I guess you know what you’re doing.”
You expect him to nod, confirm, like he did when you said you weren’t dangerous. Instead, you see pauldrons and breastplate shift as his shoulders sag a bit. “Sometimes.”
This thing you’re doing now, or about to do. It started with a joke. Well, mostly a joke. A victorious mission, the child safe, the two of you safe now too, and alone behind closed doors. The sweat of the mission washed away, guns laid down, a chance to rest. Back home, you said, as you took the blanket he’d found for you, a man and a woman would celebrate. 
You hadn’t expected him to take you up on it, but you also hadn’t expected him to freeze like that, one hand still holding the blanket. Until this moment, he’d looked like that armor was part of him. Suddenly, somehow, the way he reached out to you looked awkward, pauldron and vambrace no longer in line, and that helmet turned the tiniest angle, like he didn’t know where to direct his eyes.
“Never mind,” you said, smiling to let him know it really was ok. “We’re not where I come from, are we.”
Something shifted back now, and the shapes of his armor made sense again. He let go his grip on the blanket as you took it. “No.”
As you went to shake the blanket out and make up your bedroll, you noticed that your shirt was sticking a bit to the burn on your shoulder. “One thing, though, I could use from you. Do you have a medkit?”
“Sure.” He turned in the small space, graceful now, broad shoulders under the beskar pauldrons shifting as he reached up to open a high cupboard. You couldn’t help noticing how trim his waist looked, even under all that steel and fabric. Oh well, some things were not for you. 
The medkit had burn ointment and bandages, but no bacta. You’d have been hesitant to use any, anyhow. It would heal that wound in a day, but you knew what it cost. You’d never had the credits to buy it yourself. 
He started to turn his back, to let you undo your shirt in private and get a bandage over the oozing burn. But the acid had dripped far enough down your shoulder blade that you couldn’t quite be sure you’d covered it. “If I promise to stay decent, can you help here?”
He made quick work of anchoring the gauze to your skin with strips of steritape, while never putting pressure on the places that still ached and stung. Those were hands that had bandaged up wounds before. You’d wondered already what was underneath the armor, but suddenly you found yourself wondering what pattern of scars you might find. On a man who clearly fought as easily as he breathed, maybe almost as often--and apparently didn’t have the credits for bacta, either. Unless he went through it so fast, he couldn’t keep it stocked. 
He flipped the medkit closed. He stowed it back on its high shelf, then crossed to the little room where the baby was still sound asleep, curled in that tiny hammock. “Sleep well,” he told you, before lowering the room’s metal door. 
When you woke in the morning that metal door was up and you were alone in the dimly lit hold. You took advantage of the refresher and used your fingers to comb down your hair, where you could feel it was standing on end. No mirrors in here. You’d been too tired last night to notice. 
Well, if you really wanted to know what you looked like you could check your reflection in that armor.
You made yourself at home in the galley, poking around until you found some caff powder and another of those protein bars. Then, mug in one hand and bar in your pocket, you climbed the ladder to the cockpit.
The Mandalorian was in the pilot’s chair, helmeted head framed by the lights of hyperspace beyond the windows. The little green child was nowhere to be seen. You made your way forward to settle into the passenger seat, meaning to ask if one of you should check on the baby. But there he was, after all, perched on one armored thigh, staring wide-eyed at the lights while his tiny hand held fast to the man’s gloved index finger. 
Neither of them looked over at you, but neither one seemed startled when you spoke. You addressed the child, because why not. You’d been through a lot together, the past couple days. You figured you’d reached an understanding. “Does he sleep in that armor, too?”
The baby looked your way for a second, cooed cheerfully, and returned his gaze to the sky. 
You took a sip of caff, appreciating the spark it sent straight to your brain. Caff was a rare treat for you at the best of times, and on that jungle planet, where every bean had to be imported, it had usually been out of your reach. “Well? Do you?”
“Sometimes.”
“Last night?”
“Last night you might have needed something.”
“But most of the time, you don’t have to. You said, family.” You gnawed off a corner of the protein bar and washed it down with another sip of caff. “So where are the rest of them?”
He reached forward to adjust something on the console, a smooth movement of arm, shoulder, and back that left the baby peacefully balanced in his lap. “This is my clan,” he said. “Until I find the child’s people and return him to them.”
“He’s your whole family?” You needed another gulp of caff to process this. “And when you’ve dropped him off you’re just going to--” That couldn’t be right. People couldn’t go their whole lives walled off like that, beskar steel and cloth padding between them and the whole entire world. “Are you sure you don’t get a choice, here?”
He was silent for a long time. During the quiet, the baby looked up at him, then looked your way. The man disentangled his hand from the baby’s grip and rested it on the tiller. “This is the Way,” he said. It was hard to hear emotion through that helmet and whatever the electronics were doing to his voice, but--he sounded quieter than usual. A little slower. He sounded sad. 
“Well,” you said. “There’s got to be other Ways. Those other Mandalorians I met, they sure had a different way. Pretty sure they weren’t flirting with the barmaids because they wanted to keep their armor on.”
“There are different kinds of Mandalorians,” he repeated, same thing he said the first time you asked. 
You wrapped both hands around the mug you were holding, enjoying the warmth against fingers that still ached a bit from the punches you’d had to throw. “Which kind do you want to be?”
For some reason, you couldn’t let it go. You didn’t push, exactly. That wouldn’t have been right. But there wasn’t much else to do as the ship sailed through hyperspace. He was making a couple jumps, he told you, right-angle turns at out-of-the way nodes, to make it harder for anyone to guess the ship’s trajectory and follow. 
In between setting the next course, there wasn’t much to do besides watch the sky, play with the baby, and talk. After a while, he started asking you questions, too.
“What’s it like?” was one of them. What’s it like to walk around exposed all the time, nothing between your fragile skin and the world but a thin cotton shirt and trousers. You’d never thought about it all that much, but he had a point. The knife scar just below your ribs was a testament to that. 
“What’s it like,” you asked him back. He told you about the electronics in the helmet that make it hard for anyone to sneak up on him. He showed you a few of the hidden weapons, although you’re certain there are many more you haven't gotten to see. He explained the history of some of them, how he’s wearing not just the latest technology but a thousand years of Mandalorian history. He said, in a way, it’s like always having your own backup. Like never being completely alone. 
It wasn't until much, much later, when the ship was on its last trajectory, the baby was in bed, and the two of you were sitting side by side on the floor down there in the hold, a jar of bitter ale in your hand and him still stone-cold sober, that he admitted it was lonely.
And that’s how, after a couple more hours of talking and a night of much more restless sleep, the child’s ended up with Peli as a babysitter and the two of you are alone up here in the Razor Crest, sitting cross-legged across from each other, knees almost touching but with space and several kilos of beskar definitely still between you. 
“All right,” you say. “The word for stop is, stop. You sure you still want to do this?”
“No.”
You’re disappointed, but it’s got to be up to him. You start to scoot back, ready to stand up, to give him some actual room. 
A gloved hand closes around your calf. “Yes.”
You cover that hand with your own. When he doesn’t pull away, you lift his fingers gently from your leg, find the cuff of that glove, and slide it from his hand. 
His hand is trembling.
“You’ll remember? The word for stop?”
He laughs, short and sharp. It makes a faint sound of static through the helmet’s modulator.
Carefully, slowly, you use your own hand to guide his fingers to the bottom edge of that helmet. “How do I…?” He lifts his other hand to help you. There’s a soft, electronic sigh as whatever holds it in place loosens. And then, all on his own, he lifts the thing from his head.
He’s got curly hair. It’s the first thing you notice, as you run your fingers along his scalp and those curls, flattened by the shape of the beskar, spring back into ringlets. You’ve no idea what color his eyes are because they’re closed, and his head is bowed down as, fascinated, you wind one of those curls around a finger. You slide the other hand down to his neck and lean in to plant a single, gentle kiss against his temple. 
It takes him two tries to gasp out the word. “Stop.”
You drop your hands and rock back from kneeling to sitting, putting space back between you.
He huffs out a short laugh again, catches his breath, then raises his head to look at you.
His eyes are dark brown, almost black. Tiny lines at the outer corners hint at how old he might be. The paleness of his skin reminds you, it probably hasn't seen much sun. You might look the same age, but you bet he's got a few years on you.
"Was that a stop for now, or a stop altogether?"
"I don't know," he says. "No one's done that since…" His voice trails off. 
"Do you want to get put back together? We can try again later. Or not."
He's so solemn when he says, "There's no going back." He adds softly, as if to himself: This is the Way. And then, looking at you again, "Do you mind if I…?" He indicates the vambraces covering his forearms, moves as if to take one off.
You can't resist. "Can I help?"
The whole thing is more complicated than you might have thought. It's not just the individual steel plates. Each piece connects into an underlying electrical array, woven into the fabric of his clothing. He shows you first, on one side, then lets you follow his hands with yours to do the other. 
It's probably good you're helping, actually, because his hands are shaking again. By the time you get to the shin guards above his boots, he needs you to undo the catches. 
"No wonder you never take this stuff off." You're kneeling at his feet now, and you reach over to set the second boot next to the pile of beskar that has now joined your rifle against the wall. You worried briefly about just stacking it up like that, but he shrugged. The stuff was made to take blaster bolts. You weren't going to hurt it.
"How long does it take to put it all on again?"
He's watching the tremor in his hands. "It's faster when I'm alone."
"I can go," you offer. "Climb up to the cockpit for a bit and let you…" Let him what? This whole thing got started because he was tired of being alone.
"No," he says. "Stay."
All right. "You've still got a lot of… machine going on there. Am I going to break something if I touch you?"
He looks down at his own body, as if surprised to realize he's still wearing anything. 
"Where do we start?"
The bodysuit array turns out to be a single piece with a diagonal seam across the chest and down to his waist. You work together to undo the line of hook and loop tape that holds it shut. His hands, so capable with fists and weapons, have gone clumsy, and as you help slide the array from his shoulders you can feel the shaking has spread. The man's whole body is trembling.
Underneath, he's wearing a simple, soft shirt with sleeves down to his wrists and black leggings that you can't help but notice cling to slim hips and defined quads.
You knew he was fit. You spent three days fighting beside him. It's still fun to get to see, even if he also looks like he's not going to last much longer on his feet.
You step closer and reach a hand out, and although you can't see his face well now--he's still almost a head taller than you, even with you both now standing in stocking feet--you can hear his breathing quicken as you lay your palm against his chest. His heart is pounding like you've been in battle. 
He's proven he knows how to say stop when he wants to. You move closer again, thighs up against his, belly to belly, your chin against his collarbone, and wrap your arms around him. You're not sure if the sound he makes is a grunt, a laugh, or a sob.
Before long you've sunk to the floor and you end up half in his lap, tangled together, and usually by this point with a new partner you'd be laughing and reaching for bare skin beneath each other's clothes. Here, he's now holding you so tight you couldn't get free if you tried. His face is buried in your neck and there's no mistaking it now. He's absolutely sobbing.
Where you're from, the human body was nothing to be ashamed of. And that includes all the awkward things that bodies do. You slide one hand from his back, up his neck, to rest your fingers in those lovely curls again, and you let him cry.
When he finally winds down, the shaking has stopped too. Gradually his hold on you loosens, and you find yourself shifting against him so you can see his face. His hair's plastered against his forehead now and those warm brown eyes are lined with red. He looks awful, and the thing you want most in the world right now is to kiss him.
He doesn't smile, but he gives another of those short laughs. 
You bring a hand to his face, curving your palm against his cheekbone, using your thumb to wipe away some of the wetness below his eye. You lean in slowly to try a kiss against his temple again, and then his cheek, and then, gentle as you can manage, against his mouth. 
He's already warned you this would be new for him so you're careful, slow, pressure first and then tracing his lips with your tongue. One hand still caressing his face, the other against the back of his head, and you can't resist a gentle tug on those curls. 
But when you do, suddenly he's not responding, until he chokes out your safeword. Stop.
You do, of course, disappointed until you see he's gasping to catch his breath. "That good, huh?"
"It is." And then, he shakes his head. "I don't think I can. I don't know what to do with it all."
You've never been shy around men. Where you're from, a tumble is so normal you don't even count partners. This is new for you. Usually, they keep asking for more.
All you can think to do is say, "You got any more of that bitter ale?" It's not for him exactly, you wouldn't want him making decisions he'd regret. 
It's for you.
He does, indeed, have a whole stash of the stuff, although the dust on the lids suggests he doesn't get into it all that often. You end up sitting side by side on the floor again, backs against a row of cupboard doors. 
When you get up to get you both a second round, your own judgement's fuzzy enough that you plunk back down right next to him, hip to hip, and rest your head a moment on his shoulder. 
A little later his hand finds yours. 
You sit there, side by side, fingers twined together, until both your ale jars are empty. By now you're tired, you're a little bit drunk, and you're still turned on. And you can't do a damn thing about it because the last thing he said was, stop, and now he's probably a little drunk, too.
"I should get some sleep," he says beside you. "You should, too."
You end up back in your makeshift bedroll, while he's a whole two meters away in his sleeping quarters. You lie awake for a while, wondering if he's lying awake too, until the combination of ebbing hormones and the effects of good ale finally lead you to sleep.
It's easy to lose track of time on the Razor Crest, where sunlight doesn't make it down into the hold. But the ship's chrono wakes you with its loud, annoying buzz. 
He's already up. He hits a control panel to silence the noise, then takes the few steps from the galley to bring you a cup of caff. He crouches beside your bedroll to hand it to you.
He stays there a moment while you sit up, drag your fingers through your hair, then take the mug from his hand.
He's dressed now in a pair of black trousers and a black shirt that shows off chiseled arms. The color makes his brown eyes look even darker. Overall, the effect is making it hard for you to think.
"I need to pick up the child," he says. "You'll be all right here?"
You rub your eyes, trying to clear your head. "Give me a minute, I'll come with you. I need to figure out where to stay tonight. Look for some work. Maybe your friend can point me in the right direction."
You've gotten so used to having to read him through the armor, it's startling to see the expression of surprise on his face. Like he'd forgotten he only offered you a ride this far. I'll get off at the next port, you'd told him. Tatooine is it.
He settles down beside you, now, watching you sip at the caff. You're halfway through the mug and thinking you'd better get up and get ready, when he reaches out to rest his hand against the side of your head, then draw his fingers through your hair. 
"We didn't get to finish, did we," he says. "Will you stay?"
Tatooine's twin suns are making complicated shadows on the ground of the repair bay. You have to squint against the bright light as you and he make your way down the ramp. 
You're wearing the same clothes as yesterday--it's all you've got that's anywhere close to clean--but you've made yourself presentable, checking your hair in the shiny surface of the beskar breastplate that's still propped against a wall. 
You made sure he looks presentable too, finger-combing tangled curls into submission before you let him out the door. 
Peli emerges from the shop with the child perched on her hip. As soon as he catches sight of the man beside you, the little arms reach out and he's bouncing to be let down.
Peli looks up and lets out a whoop of surprise. "Well how about that! I always wondered what was under there." She finally notices the child's struggles and sets him gently down. "You go ahead to your papa."
The little creature toddles across the yard to be scooped up and examined. "Did you have fun?" He tucks the child in the crook of his arm and crosses the rest of the way to Peli. "What do I owe you?"
She's staring at him unabashedly. You can appreciate her appreciation for how that shirt fits.
"I don't know how you did it," she says to you, "but I'd say this is an improvement. Although," she confides, as if he's not standing right there, "there was something appealing about all that--" she gestures to her own shoulders, hinting at the shape of pauldrons-- "all that shiny.
"Now go on." She's waving the three of you back toward the ship. "I've got a freighter coming in here any minute, and he's actually going to pay me. If you can get that thing off the ground," she adds as if to herself, and then to you, "You tell him if breaks that thing again he better bring it here to be fixed. No more of that Mon Calamari nonsense."
You've got no idea what she's talking about, but it's nice to know that somebody else cares about this man and his odd little child. 
You'll go along with them for a while, you think, see where things lead. Offer to do what you can around the ship, help out wherever they're headed next. 
Mostly though, you're looking forward to seeing what happens tonight, once the baby's tucked in and you're alone together again.

Gohan for the character ask!
Give me a character and I will answer:
Why I like them: I think the main appeal of Gohan is that he’s constantly being pulled in two directions.   You can interpret those two opposing forces however you please: Saiyan vs. Earthling, Chi-Chi vs. Goku, fighter vs. scholar, etc.   But I think it’s a pretty relatable dilemma.  
What’s also relatable is that Gohan tries to blaze his own trail, even as he works hard to satisfy everyone’s expectations of him.   The moral of his story is that it’s not always easy to find your own path.  It sounds liberating, but it also means you’re on your own.  
Why I don’t: Very early on, I was frustrated with Gohan being such a major player in DBZ when it didn’t seem like he was qualified for the role.    It took me a while to recognize how important his “hidden” power was to the story.   That, and the fact that the good guys usually only ever involved him in a battle because they had no other options.   I think it’s interesting that Gohan maintains such a low profile during the Androids/Cell arc, so when he finally gets tapped to fight Cell at the end, it’s treated like a huge plot twist.   It’s ironic, because Gohan was so instrumental in defeating Vegeta, and if he had beaten Frieza on Namek, I don’t think anyone would have been shocked.   As it is, he was built up to be the guy who would beat Majin Buu, and everyone’s still mad that he lost. 
For a time, I was frustrated that Gohan was technically the strongest character at the end of the Buu Saga, even though Goku was the main guy.    It just felt wrong somehow, and I’ve seen enough “Mystic Gohan vs. SSJ3 Goku” threads on the internet to know that a lot of people used denial to cope with it.  
None of this really made me dislike the character, though.   I think most of the hand-wringing about Gohan is just a side-effect of that tug-of-war he’s been in his whole life.  Some fans want to see him kick ass, some want to see him settle down and be a student/family man/scholar.    Super tried to play it both ways by having Gohan be out of shape and then suddenly get good after a crash course with Piccolo.   It seemed like half the fans were happy to see that and half were upset.    Personally, I liked that approach better than how they handled him in GT, where he dressed like a nerd in church but could still throw down with Vegeta.   He used SSJ1 the whole time, so what happened to the Elder Kai power up?    GT just shrugged and hoped no one would care.   
For my part, I think it makes sense for Gohan to try to balance fighting and academia and family life.   Team Four Star made a lot of hay out of the idea that Gohan hates fighting, full stop, but I don’t totally buy that.  Gohan may not enjoy fighting for his life, or killing people, but I think he’s cool sparring with his family, for example.  But he can’t just throw himself into it like the others, so he’s got to train hard to keep up, and then he has to work hard at his ill-defined job, and then he has to be a good parent.   That’s the character.   Goku can be carefree, but Gohan has a lot of responsibilities. 
I do sort of wish they would focus on that balancing act, since that’s what Gohan’s all about.  Super only did it long enough to spackle over a plot hole.   “Frieza beat him in one hit, so how’s he going to do any good in the Tournament of Power?   Oh, Piccolo worked him over for a while, so he’s back in shape now.”    It’s not enough, and I think this is why some fans argue over the dilemma instead of appreciating the dilemma.   It’s a feature, not a bug.
Favorite episode (scene if movie):
Tumblr media
Gohan just dismantling Cell is the standard by which I judge all wrestling grudges.    The reason WWE sucks is that they’ll have the bad guy Perfect Cell all over the place for months, and then they fuck up the part where the good guy is supposed to turn SSJ2 and dole out sweet, sweet consequences.    If all you know how to do is the first half of the formula, then... well, I’m cancelling my WWE Network subscription, I guess.  I forgot where this analogy was heading.  
Point is, Gohan’s an awesome moment factory.   Take a look.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
You can’t go wrong.
Favorite season/movie: Cell Games, let’s be honest.  
Favorite line: When he calls Super Buu a r-- hahaha, no.   I’m actually thinking of the part in the Funimation dub when Cell starts to panic.    In Japan, the narrator explains Cell’s fear, and in Latin America it was meme fuel, but in the U.S., Gohan reminds Cell that he warned him about this. 
“What are you so afraid of Cell? Isn't this what you wanted? I warned you! I told you what would happen if you pushed me too far! But you didn't listen! You forced me to awaken my hidden power! And now that you've seen it, you're afraid...because you know that I'm going to destroy you!” 
It’s a brilliant bit of work, because you can’t see Gohan’s face in the shot, so he can be the one to point out what the narrator says in all the other versions.   They all compliment each other so well.    I cannot emphasize enough how grateful I am for Brickshitting Cell.  
Favorite outfit:
Tumblr media
It’s a tough call, but Casual Friday Great Saiyaman is a killer look, and one of the few Gohan outfits that isn’t based on some other thing.   Let’s be real because I am keeping it real: Videl only wanted to unmask Great Saiyaman because she saw his outfit and could not stop thinking about how hot he’d look if he ditched the helmet and cape and wore sunglasses instead.   
OTP: Videl.   Well, Gohan and Videl.    Godel?   Vihan?   None of these sound right.   He should stick with the lady he made a baby with, is what I’m saying.
Brotp: Krillin literally calls him bro throughout the Namek arc, so I think this one wins by default.   On the other hand, Goten is literally Gohan’s brother, so I guess that can’t be ignored.  
Personally, I think of Piccolo more as a brother figure to Gohan than a father figure, since he’s only a few years older than him, so maybe that’s my answer, but whatever. 
Head Canon: I think Gohan is disillusioned with outer space after having traveled to another planet and finding only death and horror.   It’s kind of tragic that this is a kid who should be totally into space and spaceships and he should be telling space facts to everyone who will listen, but that probably stopped being fun after Namek.  
Unpopular opinion: He was never going to be the main character of DBZ.   I think even Toei was hoping for some sort of torch-passing thing, but it never materialized, and Gohan only took the reins because Goku was too dead or Vegeta was too evil to do it instead.   And Gohan never really wanted to be the main character anyway.    I look at him and see a guy who’s totally happy to be the overlooked son of this pop culture phenomenon.    He sees his dad’s parade float and he’s just super-thrilled to see his dad in baloon form.    There’s no sense of “If only I was better at this, and then I could have my own parade baloon!”  That’s Vegeta.   
A wish: Pay Bruce Faulconer whatever he wants and use “Gohan Fights Frieza” in the next anime where Gohan kicks somebody’s ass.    Also, make a new anime where Gohan kicks somebody’s ass.
An oh-god-please-dont-ever-happen: You know, one of these years, some official DBZ story is going to be made where they decide to “get serious” and have Gohan say a bunch of “cathartic” stuff to Goku, calling him a terrible father or some other horseshit.    Like how DC brought back Jason Todd just to have him bitch at what a crappy parent Batman is.    Again, I hope I’m safely cremated before that happens, but so many pompous dopes are gonna gush about a hacky moment like that, and go on their YouTube vlogs to say “it’s about time!”    
5 words to best describe them: Gohan Fights Frieza Dot mp3.
My nickname for them: I... don’t really have one?   Do people nickname fictional characters?   I didn’t know that was a thing.

Breaking Dawn, Part Four:  HOLD ON HOPE
Tumblr media
The entities of emotion were, to many a race, creation deities. They had beget many a species, including the Irken race, a race born from a union of Intelligence and Will.
And now the species born from Hope was poised to end the Irken race. High above the planet Irk, aiding the Resisty ships as countless others formed a blockade to cut off Irk from the rest of the galaxy, it appeared as though all of Irk's hopes laid in the Wing, the host to Hope, herself an Irken...
"Please." She insisted, clasping her hands together, getting on bent knee before the Meekrob race as the "lighties" hovered before her. The rest of the Resisty stood behind her, Lard Nar frowning slightly. He had had reservations originally about having her join his crew, but she'd proven invaluable, gentle, and above all, considerate. She had owed the Resisty a debt after they'd saved her life...and she'd repaid it time and time again. Now she asked for clemency...
"Can't we give them half a year?" Lard Nar finally asked. "...I don't like the idea of giving the Irkens much time, but just a few months to surrender?" He went on, waving his hands in the air. "It's only fair."
"Would THEY give YOUR race the same mercy?" The leader of the Meekrob growled in its ethereal voice. Sarong was not a kindly being by nature. "DID they give your race half a year to submit before they pitilessly invaded, foul little BUGS that they are?"
"...aren't we supposed to be better than the bugs?" A third voice spoke up, as they turned to see two people stepping off a teleportal pad, dusting themselves off. "The Massive's been moved. Sold. Fresh off the market and on it's way to a very, VERY happy customer."
"Well, THAT would put a smile on my face had I a face!" Sarong laughed. "...alright. I'll give the Irkens a MONTH to surrender to our blockade, to come over to our way of thinking. Get the message out." The phantom-esque glowing being demanded, turning his head to his people as they moved along with the Resisty to the communications relay. "I sincerely HOPE...for your people's sake...they do the smart thing and give in." Sarong told the Wing.
"I have faith that they will make the right choice in the end." The Wing said as she stood up, nodding firmly, moving majestically back to her quarters as she laid down on her bed, noticing her room's communication was going off. She picked up the phone, listening intently. "Yes?"
"...milady, it's me."
The Wing's eyes went wide as the Entity of Hope shimmered overhead. "Turn up the volume, quick." It asked.
"What's happening?"
"The worst, that's what. My friends tapped into your powers with the Exemplar rings. I NEED access to Hope. I need a way to break a hold that Two has over Earth's Avatar of Will, Dilbert Membrane. Otherwise he won't have a fighting chance and...and kids are gonna die."
"I'll be happy to assist, but what of the Entity of Will? Have you contacted it?"
"I don't know where it IS, only you, Compassion and Love are on my speed dial...I don't suppose any others have appeared that could be of help?"
"...the Entity of Corrupted Passion, Rage. He's appeared, but he...he won't help. Not yet. We need to have faith in Sude, who is still bonding with his own host."
"They need to hurry. YOU need to hurry."
"I'll do what I can. I must ask though...you'll need a deputy to assist you. Dib is the Pillar of Will on Earth, is he not?"
"And Gaz is Rage, yes. And you wanna know if there's one for Hope on the Base Planet? Yes. And you know him."
"Who?"
"Skoodge."
The Wing chuckled. "Oh, Skoodge, that dear little soldier. Such a cheery soul. Always looking forward, always devoted. Yes...yes, I don't think we need to worry, Frequency..."
The Wing and Entity of Hope, Psyche, smiled.
"ALL WILL BE WELL.”
Dib paced around in front of his classroom, sighing as he held his hands behind his back, chewing his lip. The Principal had announced that everyone was to leave the school building in an orderly fashion, one class at a time due to a bomb scare.
Naturally, everyone thought Dib or his sister had something to do with it. Mostly because Zim and his weird "cousin", Skoodge, wasn't in class to be pointed and hissed at. M"Alright. I am about to tell you the explanation but if I know you all...and I DO..."
He rolled his eyes at this. "You're all so ignorant you won't believe it. So here goes. A psychotic alien forced a magical kind of ring on me and my sister. He turned us into Manchurian agents that would have decimated the school around lunchtime due to a trigger he put in us. I'm still not entirely sure why. But you aren't buying ANY of that, are you?"
All of the class looked at each other, blinked, and most of them broke out into laughter. Gretchen just sighed, leaning back in her chair, head hung low as Dib sighed and pinched the space between his eyes, chewing on his lip again. "...all right, fine. Nevermind. Moot point, anyhow." God they're all IDIOTS! I'm surrounded by ID! I! OTS!
"Moot point indeed." A voice, filled with snarling rage, a faint laugh lingering in the air called out.
KRUCHA-THROOOOOM! The wall was practically shattered as Two barreled through it, encased in a red energy aura, slamming Dib through the wall on the other side, windows and wall shattering. Soon the class, in fact, the whole school was watching as Dib was sent sprawling across the football field of the High Skool, Two standing tall, fists clenched as red energy rippled from his body.
"Ah, RAGE." Two laughed. "The "Passion" turned dark just like "Diligence" became "Avarice"! A step up, in my humble opinion. See, unlike Miyu, who's off to visit my daddy dearest here in town, I don't "want it all". Nah. I think smaller. I'll just settle for my existence restored to stability as your world is transformed into MINE."
He leapt through the air, fist flying, but Dib managed to roll out of the way, Two growling angrily. "Forgot, I gave you until after lunch to have most of your will back...and I DO suppose stripping any chance you have of fighting back against me would be cheating." Two mused as Dib leaped to his feet, pointing his ring at Two.
"GO!" He yelled out.
Tiny little sparks jutted out, wisps of green slipping to the ground...but nothing. Nothing happened.
"Then again..." Two laughed, his knee going squarely into Dib's gut, knocking Dib to the football field's grass below as he cracked his neck before delivering ANOTHER kick to Dib's side, "I also have kept you from using your ring. So it's hardly a fair fight. I LIKE these odds."
THWUH-THWUCK! Dib was rolled over onto his side as Two knelt down, grabbing his throat. "I...am going to beat you so...so...badly. I'll make this last. And then, after I've stopped by this lovely Chinese restaurant in town for some noodles..." The alien leered, his golden eyes glittering like a dark fire. "I'm going to come back, have you and your sister burn this whole place down with everyone in it, and make sure you're conscious through it all. See, I WAS going to strip your consciousness from your body after this, but frankly...I think me leaving you helpless, trapped inside your own body has a certain poetic CRUELTY to it, wouldn't you say?"
He sniggered darkly, throttling Dib with his clawed hands. "Ooh, I LOVE me when I'm NASTY."
KRA-THROOMP! Two was knocked clean through the air as Gaz lowered the bench she'd carried from the end of the football field, folding her arms down at Dib. "Get up, you idiot. If ANYBODY'S gonna kick your ass, it's me and me alone."
"Thanks, Gaz!" Dib said, laughing with relief as he stood up and made to hug his dear sister, arms stretching wide. I-"
"If you get REMOTELY sentimental I'm feeding you your own nose." Gaz said swiftly, Dib shutting up and turning to face Two as he stood up, nursing a bleeding head as he frowned at them.
"Gaz...almost forgot about you. You know..." He rubbed his chin. "...you look so much like my great aunt, at least, from what the old photo albums showed of her. How'd she die again? Lab accident?"
Gaz turned pale at this. Not with fear, though. This was pure, undiluted grief running through her as Two dusted himself off.
How does he know about Mom? Dib thought.
It had been an ordinary day. Well...as ordinary as life with Prof. Membrane GETS. Peggy Membrane was listening to him speak about his latest invention in his laboratory as Dib, age 7, and Gaz, age 5, stood nearby in the Professor's considerably larger-on-the-inside-than-it-was-the-outside garage laboratory was lighted up.
"How uh...how does...this...um..." Dib asked again as Prof. Membrane strode by him, a strange, bulbous helmet atop his head as he fiddled around with a screwdriver and a control pad in his long, black-gloved hands. He was wearing his large labcoat...he ALWAYS wore his labcoat in the lab, but never in the house, thank God. Peggy always said it smelled too much like plastic.
"Compression technology." The professor laughed. "Shrinking something very, very, VERY big and compacting it into a pocket dimension, I'M A
GENIUS!" He hovered in the air, lightning splitting the air around him as Peggy quickly snatched Gaz away from an accidental bolt that almost singed her hair. "Sorry, I've GOT to be more careful about where I gloat, my dear." Matthew Membrane told "Pegster", taking the helmet off and motioning for his family to come by a table with several vats nearby labeled "DANGEROUS: EXPLODING CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS! DO! NOT! OPEN! SUPER-SERIOUSLY!" written over them.
"What's that?" Peggy inquired, pointing at his latest invention, what appeared to be some kind of mechanical clip for the hair. "You told me your invention was SMALL and unassuming but...you DO know somebody's already invented these Bluetooth things, right?" Peggy laughed.
"My dear, it's a device that lets me speak any language! Even to animals!" Prof. Membrane laughed, pulling on a lever nearby as several cages filled with animals popped up from beneath the floor, all of them looking at the family.
"Ooh, big kitty!" Gaz said, pointing at the tiger as Dib looked at a snake. It began to hiss, it's eyes almost...glowing?
Prof. Membrane quickly led Dib away from the cage, the snake cursing under its breath as Membrane held the strange, segmented clip up, giving it to Peggy. "Put it in your hair. It will transmit signals to your brain, to the part centering around language recognition. All barriers are broken down INSTANTLY! The aftereffects have been odd...something of a shared link...I talked with that bunny yesterday and after that I kept thumping my foot against the ground for half an hour."
Peggy put the clip in her hair and stared at said bunny as it chuckled. "Ooh, have I got a carrot for YOU!" It said, giggling immaturely.
"OH!" Peggy clasped the sides of her face with her hands, gasping. "You little!" She waved her finger at it and took the clip off. "Maybe I should go find a nice CAT or something to talk to." She told her husband. "Here you go, Matt."
She tossed it back to him and he stepped back to catch it...
And he went knocking into a plank that had a small vat of "Exploding Chemical Compounds" placed on the other end. Like a catapult, the small vat was launched through the air at a stunned Peggy as Dib looked up in horror, eyes widening, Gaz's mouth beginning to open in a gasp as Matthew Membrane watched most of his wife become a sloughed pile of flesh...
He never took off the lab coat after that...there was always a tiny bit of Peggy still lingering on the edges of his collar...
A tiny bit of Peggy lingering in his heart.
In ALL of their hearts...
"Do you know what rage TRULY is? The most powerful kind of hatred ISN'T born from ignorance or prejudice or from a perceived threat. Oh no." The alien waved a claw in the air. "Those are Fear in disguise. The real fire that fuels the burning hatred of rage...is personal loss. That's why I wear the red."
Two held his fist up as Gaz and Dib readied themselves, Gaz shaking angrily. "You lost your mother, you must have felt so unhappy, so ANGRY. You didn't understand. Why, why did it have to happen? And I think you blamed your father...and a tiny bit of you blamed your brother, because neither one of them were strong enough to help."
Gaz opened her mouth to say something, but then closed her eyes and clenched her fists, holding them tightly to her sides. "...that's...it wasn't MY fault...somebody had to...somebody had to take the blame. I LOVED...her." She whispered out. "...I LOVED her so...so much..."
"...my own mother is slowly dying. WILL die if my world isn't returned." Two told them softly.
"Then you know how I felt. Then you know that if I had the power...I would have done anything, ANYTHING to get her back." Gaz asked in her dark, accusing tone. "I have that power now...you FORCED it on me, but with you dead and gone, and me with this power..."
She held up her ring, grinning coldly. "I WILL find a way. I'm smart, and I'm tough...and there's not a kid in the world who wouldn't burn it all down if it meant getting back his mommy."
"Oh, Gaz..." Two whispered softly, almost sadly. "You couldn't have described me any better."
And with that, he launched himself at them, claws held high.
...
...
...
... "So..." Nick inquired, his county-boy accent thick and homely as he sat down on the pink, fluffy couch with the squat Irken Invader Skoodge at Zim's house, Zim having gone off to the Radioshack to pick up "supplies" as GIR did his own "private thing" in the laboratory. "If Mr. Billingsly is the sleaziest, number one backstabbing lover in all the town, why's he defending this gal off the street? Reckon it don't make no sense." He asked Skoodge, who was, before you ask, NOT in any disguise.
Oh no, Invader Skoodge, short, fat and cuddly Invader Skoodge, was "au naturale", ladies and gents...well, except for the clothes he was wearing, his usual maroon Invader's attire with that mysterious splotch lingering on his stomach.
"It's because before he got amnesia, William Billingsly was the sleaziest number-one LAWYER in Dawson County!" Skoodge explained, waving a gloved hand in the air as Nick passed the chocolate-covered popcorn GIR had made over to him, Skoodge tossing a handful into his mouth.
He liked having the human over. It got so boring, just being stuck in Zim's basement. This way he could talk about human soap operas like "Kissy-Kissy-Boo-Boo" AND wrestling programs like "Skull Squisher" all he wanted and with somebody who wasn't too "busy" or "stupid" to care about either one. Plus, in the event he ever said too much about Irken culture, he'd just erase Nick's memories with a little mini-squid Zim had developed to be attached to people's heads.
...again.
Yeah, he'd tested out a LOT of things on Nick and-oh. Skoodge grimly frowned as Nick took off his cap, scratching at the...
He couldn't bear to look at it. Skoodge looked away, almost puking up the popcorn he'd gobbled down as Nick decided to use the bathroom, promising to come back with soda from the kitchen as Skoodge sighed, turning his head slowly back to the television. Nice kid, that Nick. Stupid, yeah, but nice. Even before what Zim had done to him.
...that had been...
Skoodge was a trained and experienced invader. He did not ever take his job personally, and he understood that Dib had his own duty to save the planet just as he had a duty to help Zim take it over. It was, on an intellectual level, sad. In another time and place, he might have been capable of being friends with the humans. It was somewhat sad he never could be. There was a lot about this world he liked. And he was beginning to fall into an enjoyable rhythm, just staying here on Earth, hanging out.
Maybe...one day...maybe this would feel like his real home. Maybe one day he'd fine that thing he needed to make him want to stay forever. Maybe one day he WOULD be friends, and there wouldn't be a need for this back-and-forth, and they could just...BE. He was fine with waiting. He was good at that...the waiting and the hoping.
Heck, truth be told, even ZIM was beginning to fall into a steady pattern. A new plan every week instead of every day, and there was a faint camaraderie between he and the Dib-human. Sometimes, Skoodge, he could swear Zim LIKED being continuously beaten. LIKED being stuck here, constantly plotting.
Heck, GIR liked Earth plenty, Skoodge thought to himself as he snuck over to the linen closet and pulled it open, a monitor revealing what was occurring in the laboratory downstairs. GIR was dancing around, a disco ball hanging overhead as lights sprayed around, the little robot posing and singing as he strutted his stuff.
Can't read my, can't read my, No he can't read my Poker Face!
"She aint' got to love nobody!" GIR sang out, waving his butt in the air before he whipped around, holding his arms behind his head and shaking his groove thing.
Can't read my, can't read my, No he can't read my Poker Face!
Yep, nothing changed around here, Skoodge thought to himself as he closed the door, returning to the couch and turning back to the television. The state of normalcy: sitting and waiting for something to happen, and usually, it did. In the end. Things tended to work out in the end, Skoodge thought to himself as he popped some more chocolate popcorn in his mouth. He just had to keep where he was. Stay happy. Keep believing...
He stiffened suddenly, as a voice called out to him, a faint accent lingering in it as he slowly turned his head, looking upon a blue-furred being that had stepped into the living room. It wore a blue cap with a strange white symbol on it's head, and blue shorts to match with a special ring in one hand...a ring with a blue symbol upon it that was being offered to him. To HIM.
"Skoodge of Irk." Frequency said cheerily. "Stoic ol' Skoodge. You have the ability to feel great hope."
He put the ring in Skoodge's hand and Skoodge slowly slipped it on, eyes widening. It felt so natural...like he'd been missing a limb all his life, forced to wear a prosthetic but now gaining back his old hand...
Meanwhile, a maroon-eyed, green-skinned being, Invader Zim himself, was walking back from Radio Shack to his house, his arms filled with sacks full to the brim of technical material he needed for his latest plan.
"Brilliant, BRILLIANT! I'll transform pigs into half-human slaves, rounding up humans and overriding their genetic code with my own glorious Irken DNA!" Zim laughed to himself. "Irken and human fused together and at my command, I'll build a new Irken Empire right here on Planet Earth!"
He blinked suddenly, frowning as he put down his bags and scratched his head. "Wait. I'm TALKING TO MYSELF...vrik na tishanti!" He cursed. "I'm becoming too much like the Dib-Stink." He sighed and reached into his maroon outfit, pulling out a small notepad from within. "And have I already done something like this lately? Better check the list."
He took out a pen that popped up from his PAK, flipping through the notebook. "Hmm. Fiddle with gravity in school...launching chickens into outer space...replacing organs with STUFF...launching COWS into outer space...launching GHOST INSPECTORS into outer space...oh. "Turn dogs into dog-people". Ah, DOGS, not pigs. Yep, this'll work!"
"Observation: You always had a knack for such ideas. Insanely brilliant...they called you mad." A metallic, yet distinctly feminine voice rang out, making Zim whip his head in its direction as he saw a robotic female approach him, black-outfit making her look VERY slim, with a red helm over her head and tipless white gloves showing off almost Irken-like long clawed fingers. "But madness is merely genius to a small mind, and when compared to you, most organics have small minds."
"...what ARE you? Explain yourself!" Zim demanded angrily, pointing at her. "Tell Zim!"
"Explanation: I have an offer for you." The woman said. "I am Miyu. I ask this..."
She held up a ring in her finger...a faint orange glow to it.
"Join my corps."
...
...
...
...The kids of the school were watching, their teachers unable to get them to leave as they saw Gaz and Dib struggling with Two, who kept flinging them around the football field, kicking and punching them whenever they got close enough. Dib had managed to bust one of Two's cheek bones, and Gaz had delivered, WAS delivering-
"YOOOOOWWW-OOOOOOH-HOOOO-HOOOO-HOOOO!"
Ooooch. Gaz fought DIRTY. Two staggered back, flailing out with his ring as a medieval torture rack attached itself via energy construct to Gaz, trying to stretch her out as Dib struggled to break her free, Two cradling his sore crotch. "Y-you dirty little...GAAAAH..."He muttered out.
"You're just going to stand there and watch them suffer like that?" Gretchen asked the others as Ms. Bitters calmly looked up from her copy of "Beyond Good and Evil", "harrumphed" and went back to reading. The rest of the class looked around at each other, almost hesitant.
"We can't just stand here and WATCH!" Gretchen insisted angrily, waving her arms in the air. "We've gotta DO something! ANYTHING to help them!"
"That thing can shoot finger-beams. What're WE gonna do?" The Letter M asked, scratching his head as Poonchy nodding in agreement.
"Oooooh. He just made a shark." Zita called out as Dib yelled for his life, climbing one of the football poles as Two danced in victory, Gaz being beaten up by a cheer-leading team he'd summoned forth with his ring, Gaz swearing to rip off Two's head and make him eat it later. Somehow.
She could do it, you know! She TOTALLY could!
"GRAAAAH!" Gretchen tugged at her hair, exiting the room and stomping out into the hallway-
Running into a beautiful-looking being who was standing by the Guidance Counselor. Her eyes widened as the Guidance Counselor nodded at the angel.
"This is her."
"I'm surprised you figured it out."
"I spent years around the Entity of Love. I know souls filled with it. And her love for Dib has marked her."
The Beautiful Angel stepped forward, putting something in Gretchen's hand. "You won't remember us. Nobody in this school will remember us, my friend will make sure of that. But when the time comes, you'll know what to do inside your heart." The Beautiful Angel crooned, taking Gretchen's cheek and kissing her on the forehead before leaving, Gretchen moving the ring in her hand to her pocket as the Guidance Counselor took her shoulder.
It was as if a veil that had been placed over her eyes was ripped away. "Wh-what was I doing?" She asked, scratching her head as Mr. Thildari moved her back to the class.
"I THINK you were watching THAT." Mr. Thildari said cheerily, pointing outside the opened-up walls as two forms descended from the sky on blue wings, Dib gasping as a green blaze swirled around him, power coursing through his body. Now he was returned to his once-heroic form, standing tall and proud, his Will reasserted over the ring as Two snarled furiously, turning on Frequency.
"You! And...and YOU?" He gasped, seeing Skoodge as Skoodge smiled over in a surprised Dib and Gaz's direction.
"Power levels at 104%...119%...124%..." Dib's ring called out as Skoodge gave Dib the best thumbs up he could.
"Don't worry, Dib-Thing. Hope's wings have always lifted Will higher than it could ever soar. Trust me...All will be well." Skoodge spoke kindly, comfortingly.
And did he look IMPRESSIVE. A cloth covering the top of his head and forehead, with the white symbol of Hope emblazoned upon it. His outfit was vaguely Shamanic...long robe-like shirt to wear, exposing his arms, tipless gloves, plain, simple...and above all, he looked so peaceful and comforted. So SMUG, almost.
"So you've betrayed us?" Two growled at Frequency.
"What can I say, dude?" Frequency laughed, holding his ring up with Dib and Skoodge. "Except...COWABUNGAAAAAA!"
With that, an ENORMOUS blue wave of energy shot forth from Frequency's ring, formed like a tidal wave that SLAMMED into Zerinim Two Jookiba with all the fury of an ocean, as Dib now launched his OWN shark at Two, the pointy nose JAMMING into Two's chest, making him gasp in pain as he was sent spiraling through the air, knocked around by the wave...
Skoodge leaped forward, forming an enormous pair of hands that suddenly pinned Two to the ground, a pair of hands that rapidly became attached to the energy construct of a professional wrestler.
"And now Rodrick has his evil twin Rodrick in a Leg Hold!" Skoodge laughed, the wrestler slamming Two into the ground over and over before tossing him through the goal posts.
"TOUCHDOWN!" Gaz laughed, racing towards Two and kicking him squarely in the face, knocking him through the air and towards the school, right in the direction of Ms. Bitters.
"Huh?" She looked up just in time.
KA-THRUNCKA!
Everyone let out a simultaneous "Ewwwww" and stepped away as Two stood up, dusting himself off and looking down beneath him at what he'd landed on. He stuck his worm-like tongue out, stepping off and watching as Ms. Bitters' feet curled up, the rest of her body melting away as she let out a final sigh of "What a woooorld".
"It's over." Dib said, cracking his knuckles as Skoodge, Frequency, Gaz and he approached Two, who growled and reached into his vest, pulling out a small capsule-like computer.
"You'll never control Dib again, not with ME here, brah." Frequency proclaimed. "And you ain't gonna get to GAZ, either. We've spoken with the Big Bad behind it himself and he's given the ALL clear. Try to take her over again, you get a wipe out!"
"No. It's just BEGINNING." Two growled out. "EMERGENCY TEMPORAL SHIFT."
With a WHOOMP, he was gone, vanished from sight as the class looked from the wreckage to Dib, who scratched the back of his head. Were they FINALLY going to believe him now about the aliens thing?
"I guess...you're all wondering about all of that, right?" He asked.
"It's a gang war, you see." Mr. Thildari said quickly, stepping forward and waving a hand in the air. "Dib informed me that members of a gang who were INSANELY jealous of our school since it's so amazing, especially the clean bathrooms..."
"Oh yeah, yeah."
"Absolutely.
"Of course." Everyone agreed, nodding their heads.
"So they prepared to carry out an attack and decided to beat up Dib because he was the most noticeable of us all with his big head. Luckily Dib's friends here were skilled enough to fend them off with the fancy technological equipment that Prof. Membrane loaned his son and his friends in the event something strange like this ever happened. Isn't that right, Gaz?" Mr. Thildari wanted to know.
Gaz shrugged. "Yeah. Whatever."
"Oh, yes, YES." Gretchen said quickly. "Oh, Dib and I have talked about this before when we're alone! Some people have mace in their pockets, he's got super-tech!" She lied with a smile, quickly putting one arm around his and grinning.
"Er...yeah! Big, bad, rival gangs! It was all a rival gang." Dib decided quickly, gulping nervously. "DEFINITELY not aliens! And these guys are just in costumes cuz they were going to a party at my house later this afternoon. Costume party. Really private affair and stuff. Right, Gaz?"
"Yeah. Costume party. I mean, you can see the zipper!" Gaz chuckled, pointing at Skoodge's teeth as he grinned.
"Well, I think Gretchen had best inform the principal of our little...predicament...with your teacher." Mr. Thildari told the class. "And I think that perhaps I should drive you home, Dilbert, Gazeline...it's been a long, long day and I think we could all use a break, especially you two..."
...
...
...
... "I can't BELIEVE they bought it. I can't believe TWO bought it! One of the worst performances of my career and he didn't doubt it for a second." Frequency laughed, slapping his knee as Skoodge poured everyone some soda using GIR, who opened up his mouth. Gaz then closed GIR up and moved him over her chips, pulling down on an arm as nacho cheese was squirted down onto her snack. "I don't even know what the Entity of Rage LOOKS like! Ha! This is off...the...HOOK!"
"Hope, huh?" Dib inquired, looking Skoodge over as he calmly sipped some Diet-Poopsi, nodding sagely.
"Yes. Our Exemplar Rings gain power from the Entities of Emotions, and I was meant to wield Hope the way you were meant to wield Will, and Gaz was meant to wield Rage." Skoodge explained.
"Meant to? Entities?" Dib asked.
"What...ARE you?" Zim inquired, eyes widening at the ring in Miyu's hand.
"I suppose I should explain." Frequency admitted, sitting in a chair nearby as GIR clapped his hands together, beaming.
"It's STORYTIME?" GIR asked cheerily, hopping up and down.
"Uh...yep."
"Ooh, does it involve monkeys?"
Skoodge snorted, looking over in Dib and Gaz's directions as Gaz growled. "What's THAT supposed to mean?"
Frequency laughed and chuckled slightly, holding out his ring as an series of images began to form for them all, GIR's eyes widening. "Oooooooh. Laser liiiiights..."
"In the beginning, there was just one universe planned for creation. What happened...was something quite different. There was a...change...in the nature of the cosmos." Mr. Thildari explained calmly.
"Instead of ONE universe being made, a multiverse was created." Miyu went on. "Endless parallel worlds, similar in some ways, bizarrely different in others, were formed. All were occupying the same space, but vibrating at entirely different frequencies."
"Like two cars parked side by side in the same parking lot...or sometimes right on top of one another, with nobody realizing." The guidance counselor suggested.
"And there were entities, beings of INCREDIBLE power, that watched over all of this and spread the power of emotions through the universe." Miyu murmured. "The first was entity of Life, Sude, of the Seraphi race."
Zim blinked. "The Seraphi?" Wait, the Irken race had SENT invaders in the direction of the soc-called home of the Seraphi, the planet Allforce. What had happened to them? Had they becme dragon chow? They'd never heard from the fools again...
"I know what you're thinking. The race did not perform things such as that. They were the kind who offered laughter and joy up to their God instead of blood rituals. They simply sent Irken laughter to Sude."
Zim raised a non-existent eyebrow. "...wait...you mean?"
FIVE HUNDRED YEARS AGO...
"WE'LL TICKLE YOU FOREVER!" One brown and yellow-horned draconic being exclaimed as he held a giant feather up from a box, the tied-up Irken nearby gulping as his friends were held in place. "Prepare to enter the unbearable world of COOCHY-COOCHY-COO!"
PRESENT...
"ANNNNYHOW, the next was the entity of Passion, Chulainn. He's turned all nasty and dark when he became "Rage". Frequency went on with a sad expression flickering across his face. "Poor dude. Then we got the pretty lil' entity of Hope, Psyche. She's cute, in a weird way." He added, tilting his head to the side. "Kinda...looks like a butterfly. I think she IS that, a big, alien butterfly."
"And I spent many years conversing with the Entity of Love before I came here." Mr. Thildari explained, putting one hand to his chest. "Jourmungdr sent me here to the Base Earth to keep an eye on the planet and those within. It said this place was too important to be ignored. I've been keeping up a guise, with the Entity taking my place back at my home planet without anybody noticing."
"This world...this MUDBALL is...actually important?" Zim scratched his head. "How?"
"EVERYTHING in the multiverse stems from the material found in this base Earth." Skoodge interjected. "Remember when he talked about the "parking lot" analogy? Think of your world as an original model of car, and every other car in the lot is a rip-off or copy of that original." Skoodge went on as visible models of the many parallel Earths floated around.
"Without this world, there won't BE any other parallel Earths. No more stories of Zim and Dib and Gaz and GIR. This world is the cornerstone upon which the multiverse of Universe I-Z spins..." Miyu went on, gesticulating in the air. "Within this world...there's the POTENTIAL to remake the world that was tragically lost."
"They want to bring it back. If one tried to sacrifice enough of this world, Earth B-S will return. The people of this world will be, well...they get folded into the historical fabric. Become reborn anew, I guess you could say..." Frequency admitted.
"I'll DIE?"
"Answer: You'll become BETTER." Miyu informed him waving a clawed finger in the air. "You will reach your physical and mental peak, and will become a being both feared, loved and admired across the universe. And it is not just you. GIR, Minimoose, they'll be better too. People will respect you, Zim, be amazed at what you've become. I would never not lie..."
She gently took his shoulder, smiling at him as the visor on her helmet lifted up, and Zim's eyes widened in surprise. "To my own father."
"I...I need to...think about this." Zim mumbled.
"Statement: I shall do you one better." Miyu informed him as he pocketed his ring. "I will take you to your wife. I think you'll be more than pleasantly surprised."
Zim's eyes bugged out, mouth flopping open. "Zim has a WHAT?"

The Mandalorian... In Lego form
What can I add to the praise about the Disney Plus series, The Mandalorian, that has not already been said?
Tumblr media
Yes, it is really very good, I was captivated within the first minute and was heart broken during the third episode, entitled The Sin, when the Mandalorian handed over the child to the Imperial officer, played so beautifully by Werner Herzog. Of them all, it is probably episodes three and four that are my favourites, showing the more gentle side to the character. But let us be honest, when choosing favourite episodes of this series, we the viewer have been rather spoilt because there is not a dud among them. Not even the sixth episode, which was a heist story and could easily have been done rather badly, but wasn’t and even included a fabulously dry Dave Filoni cameo as a New Republic pilot. No, not a single missed beat, bad line or failed joke throughout series one.
This is not to say that it does not have its cold brutal moments though, the Quarren being bisected in the first episode was utterly shocking, you even hear his legs heit the floor! Encasing the good natured Mythol in carbonite was really mean. Yet, they saved the humour of child abuse right up until the end and the speeder scouts indifference in violently handling the child. These moments of suffering are balanced so perfectly with real heart and leave a lump in the throat, even when dealing with an assassin droid walking into a lava flow. Terminator eat your heart out!
So, it must be time to combine some of the biggest loves of my rather childish, adult life into one hobby, namely my love of Star Wars and my love of Lego. With every new franchise released under the Star Wars banner, Lego get good dibs on making tie in sets. With the release of the Mandalorian, the Lego sets have been exceptional and if you have not yet seen them, you should go and have a look at the Brickset page.
The first set, number 75254 or AT-ST Raider is a glorious reworking of the beloved Imperial walker, as seen during the Battle of Endor, but here it comes with loose wiring and scratched paint. The colours are indicative of rust, repainting of old worn out parts and some battle damage, all achieved with coloured bricks and several stickers. The effect is really very pleasing and the walker stands at just over twenty five centimetres tall. All that it is missing is the red glow in the cocpit. The minfigs that come with this set just wonderful. Cara Dune, played so effortlessly well by Gina Carono in the show, is a really lovely minifig, although having a globally available minifig of your character must be exciting even for a movie star. Along with the walker come two raider pilots and then even Mando himself, in his dirty and mismatched armour, which is a little odd. By this point in the show, when he meets and briefly fights with Cara Dune, he already has his new Beskar cuirass of armour, complete in shining silver. So one has to ask why he is presented to us in the older colours of his armour that was destroyed by the Mudhorn in the second episode? Over all though, 75254 is a lovely set, even with the annoyance of having to apply stickers (which is a topic that takes on the additional needs of disability issues for me and my manky old lady fingers), rather than using printed pieces.
Tumblr media
Set 75267, the Mandalorian Battle Pack is simple, cheap and rather pretty. This is a basic set with four minifigs, all in various colours of Mandalorian armour which may be different clans, with a small gun emplacement and speeder bike. The warriors are split equally male and female, but I have no idea which is which, due to the lack of lipstick, floral tops and flowing long hair, the usual key indicators used by Lego to show the gender split (stories of my subverting this by placing  the ‘male’ bodies with the ‘female’ heads, are very likely true!). Removing the helmets reveals an unprinted black head, which is slightly disturbing, but this is something that Lego had done for several years now.
The big set of this theme for 2020 has to be the fabulous ship used by the Mandalorian, the beautifully named Mandalorian Bounty Hunter Transport Ship… Oops yeah, it seems that somebody fucked up. Set number 75292, Razor Crest has in some cases been renamed following claims of trademark usage by another company, who just happen to make Lego compatible sets and some may claim have been guilty of cloning Lego sets without license. Oh dear.
I pre-ordered my set a good three months prior to release and thank the heavens that I did, because it was hopelessly delayed and finally cancelled three days after release and so I had to deal with Lego directly... during a pandemic outbreak... when every anguished parent with a Star Wars addicted child was no doubt screaming for their Mandalorian set too. Lego were hellishly busy and no doubt there were many like me, disappointed Amazon customers scrabbling to find the sets they had ordered weeks before. How many of those adults with debit cards were buying the toy for themselves though, remains a closely guarded industry secret.
When the set arrived, I was impressed by the actual size of the box which was huge and which my cat now uses for a bed! This was just the outer packaging used by Lego to ship the set, but the actual set box was still quite large and also beautifully printed, if surprisingly heavy.
Building the model was fun, even if there is a fair amount of repetition due to the chirality of the ship and the usual struggles with yet more bloody stickers! The engine nacelles are probably the least screen accurate feature, given the rough tooth like arrangement on the front intakes bares little resemblence to the smooth circular versions on the screen rendered ship. This is a tiny little complaint about an otherwise awesome model though. (I am just going to pause here for a moment. Are they really air intakes? Given that this is a spacecraft and it can travel at ‘light-speed’, why does it have these large open front intakes that resemble the compressor fan of a jet engine? Actually, that is a stream of thought that can only lead to sadness, especially with the roar of said engine as it flies across screen, supposedly in space, you know space. The place where NO ONE can hear you scream! But can hear if you miss a gear on your spaceship!)
Minfigs with this set are thoroughly cool, with our classic Mando himself, Din Djarin. He does of course have the child with him and the fidure of the child is adorable. This set also includes Greef Karga, a Scout Trooper and IG11… Um. Once again, this is a potentially confused set. Is this from the first episode or the last two? I don’t recall seeing the Scout troopers in the first episode so much, but they are present and a large part of the finale. Mando does of course have some serious issues with droids, having been orphaned during the Clone Wars, by a B2 Super Battle Droid (Speaking of droids and the Clone Wars, this does explain to me why when Luke and Obi Wan visit Mos Eisley, the cantina owner tells Luke that the droids are not welcome. It was a glaringly obvious issue that I never gave thought to, of course people would mistrust droids, the Clone Wars were a political tool used by a member of the elite, to secure their own power while creating political turmoil in which they could thrive and in which many thousands of innocent people lost their lives. I wonder if this was written to parallel real life, not that we have many examples of this in the real world), which is shown in heart breaking visceral detail during the several flashbacks we see. Again, this is just another element in this series that goes to such great depth to give the characters real heart. Anyway, back to my point, a part of his redemption was Mando coming to accept and even trust a droid, which he does with IG11, despite it being Mando himself who terminated the IG unit to begin with. So with a Scout trooper, IG11 and Greef Karga, would it be fair to say that with the child in hand, Mando should be in his silver Beskar armour? It would appear not and thus Mando is still in his dirty, rusted and damaged armour with this set. At some point they simply must release a set with him in shiny new Beskar, but maybe that will come with the release of Series two.
Tumblr media
Over all, the sets released in this theme for 2020 have all been excellent and to an adult child like myself, well worthy of collecting, building and displaying… Because these are not  toys! They are valuable collectors pieces, future antiques and actually rather pretty. Which leads me onto my next section, how to display the models while making them look like something interesting and not just a pile of bricks. I had a space that you could have called a bookshelf, not a great space for books if I am honest, being slightly awkward and on top of my Lego desk. So I decided to fill this space with a Lego Diorama that measures one hundred and six studs wide and twenty four studs deep. It was a crap bookcase and my Lego books kept falling over or worse, falling off altogether to land on whatever I was working on at the time. The gloss painted finish proved to be be sticky, which damaged a couple of my instructions booklets and well, these are the issues you get when you design and build your own furniture, out of scrap wood and offcuts. Yes, the furniture is a bit mismatched in my office, but I made nearly all of it. Maybe one day I will do a show and tell.
The display started as a simple thing, a couple of enclosed boxes in which I could build a pair of scenes. My first scene was the Rebel Alliance looking at a hologram of the Death Star, while planning an attack on the technological terror. It is half based on Episode four with a dash of episode six. I added flickering lights and a large Death Star shell from the planets sets and stood back to admire my work. It was… OK-ish and sat like that for several months as I planned the next box and then what was to go above it.
With the release of the Mandalorian, I knew that the remaining box had to be the Covert, with the Armourer and her forge. I also knew that with the Razor Crest, I wanted some kind of scene above the covert to place both the ship and the AT-ST together, which while technically mixing a couple of episodes set on different worlds, could be seen in the soul of the show, rather than an accurate depiction of the Mandalorian itself. With the addition of some more lights it was all going so well and then I had to re-home Vader's castle, a task of Sisyphean proportions. 
Tumblr media
Humour aside, I need a larger office. With my Solo, Rebels, Rogue One, Clone Wars, New Hope and final trilogy themes to my Star Wars Lego display, plus the collection of Technic lego so large it required specialist furniture to be built, I have run out of room. Vader’s castle is thankfully taller than it is wide and it fitted onto the shelf fairly well. It also took lighting effects really nicely and I was pleased with the results, in particular, the glowing hologram of the Emperor that appears in miniature in front of Vader's desk. However, it now looks like I have a nice castle, built on the edge of a run down city slum, with the sewers taken over by rogue blacksmiths and a group of noisy political activists. If any of you can spot the social commentary in here, well done you. Poor old Vader however can barely get any sleep, no wonder his mouse droid keeps leaping off the model and onto my carpet, it wants to escape for some peace!
Tumblr media
So now that the office shelves are filled, what should I do next? Well actually, there are some things on the Razor Crest that I am not happy with, aspects that need some work to make it look a little better. First to go is that hideous hole in the top. Yes, it allows you to claw the pod out, but for display, rather than play, the hole is unacceptable. I made my own Moff Gideon (Using Winstone from Ghostbusters for the head and an Imperial Pilot body) and equipped him with a Darksabre. I added a pair of speeder bikes too, one for the scout that came with the Razor Crest and one for a scout that I added later.
Tumblr media
I dread to think how much I have spent on this project, there is easily three hundred pounds in sets on my shelf alone, consisting of three large ships, one walker and a castle. There are also the various minifigs I bought from else where, such as the Rebel Alliance leadership and spare Mandalorian warriors. There are all of the lights, the wire and the switches, which cost about twenty pounds. It all adds up rather quickly and luckily for me, most of the Lego consists of bricks that I have collected over the years and a lot of those bricks were second hand.
Was it worth it? Yes it was. Not only was it a lot of fun to plan and build, but as a disabled person, it is nice to have a hobby that I can still manage and do fairly well. It is nothing like climbing a mountain, or wild camping with my mountain bike, but it stopped me going insane with boredom, especially during lockdown. Who knows what I can do next, but it is nice to be back on the technic and building actual gear boxes again.

From Infinity War To Endgame (Prologue)
Yeah, my engagement is low, but I really like this and it’s mostly for @blu-eyed-devil anyways. Don’t know if I’ll post more or not. 
The characters of Emily Rogers-Barnes and Jessica Stark are mine. I did bend some things to my will, but that’s the joy of fanfiction. 
Jess lay there out of breath. She was fighting the urge to pass out. She was tired. God, she was so fucking tired. Her chest heaved as she tried catching her breath. Jess wasn’t sure how much more she had left in her. This was a losing battle. Even with the help from the Guardians, Jess wasn’t sure that they were going to be able to stop Thanos.
As her eyes fluttered closed, Jess started to think of happier times. She was the oldest daughter of Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. Spitting image of her mother, but her personality made her Tony 2.0. She grew up stuck to her father’s side. They went through everything together.
She was even the one to suggest that her dad adopt Peter after the deaths of his Uncle Ben and Aunt May. She loved Peter. He was easily one of her best friends. They got along and Jess loved being an older sister. Especially since Peter was Spiderman and she herself was Iron Kid it was great not only working aside her brother but with their father as well.
Jess was supposed to be the maid of honor at her parent's wedding. Pepper and her had been planning this wedding trying to make it perfect. She was supposed to see her family get their happy ending that they are destined to have.
“Jess! Jessica!” Peter shouted.
Jess’ blue eyes popped open. Peter swung over her and then landed above her head. He ran and slid to a stop holding out his hand towards her.
“Come on sis, it’s not time to give up,” Peter said.
Jess took Peter’s outstretched hand and let him pull her up. She lost her balance and held onto her tightly to help counter her balance.
“We have to keep fighting,” Peter told her.
“I know. I’m tired,” Jess admitted.
“Me too, but we can do this. Together,” Peter said.
Jess nodded.
“Thing one and thing two, I need you,” Tony said over the communication piece.
Peter shot his web and swung away from Jess. Jess’ helmet replaced itself as she went running towards her dad. Tony turned to see his daughter running straight at him. He braced himself and held up one of his arms. Jess lunged herself at Tony and then kicked off his arm. She went soaring up and grabbed Peter’s hand and then he flung her into a backflip she landed on Thanos’ back and was quick to put him into a headlock.
“Take him down now!” Tony shouted.
Mantis landed next to Jess and she was quick to place her hands on either side of Thanos’ head. The team worked together to keep Thanos subdued and pulling on the gauntlet to remove it from his grasp.
“Quill! Quill!” Tony yelled.
Jess looked up to watch just in time Quill attack Thanos. She knew it was over then. Mantis went flying. She let out a yell as she went soaring back. Peter was there catching her with his web. Everyone was down for the count. Peter lowered her down to the ground as he went after Mantis.
“Strange, don’t!” Somebody shouted.
Jess spun around to watch the wizard hand over the time zone.
“Why would you do that?” Tony demanded.
“It’s the only way,” Strange whispered.
Jess fell back in shock. That only left one stone left. Peter dropped down next to her. Thanos had the time stone now.
“Oh god,” Peter said next to her.
Jess looked up at her brother.
“He’s going for the others,” Jess whispered.
“I-oh my god,” Peter said falling back next to her.
Emily crashed into a tree. She cried out as the pain rippled down her ribs. She landed on her knees and sucked in a deep breath.
“Somebody get to Vision and Wanda,” Her dad ordered over the communicators.
  Emily pressed her hand to the piece in her ear.
“I’m on it,” She hissed out pushing herself up.
Emily started sprinting through the forests of Wakanda. Wanda was doing her best to keep her and Vision protected. Emily broke the edge of the forest and tackled one of the beasts. As she stood back to back with Wanda they fought off most of Thanos’ army together.
“Wanda, it’s time,” Vision said.
Emily turned around to look at the couple.
“Vis, no,” Wanda cried.
“I’ll keep the two of you covered,” Emily said.
Emily went to join the Avengers. Together they fought off as many as they could. The ripple in the air had Emily looking over her shoulder. Her eyes widened at the sight of a giant purple figure walking out of it.
“Oh shit,” Emily whispered.
“Keep going!” Natasha shouted at her.
Emily turned and started running towards Thanos next to Thanos. Thanos quickly took them out of the game. Emily crashed into another set of trees and then slammed up against a large stump. She was sure she heard a few ribs break. Falling over, Emily struggled to breathe. As she blinked her eyes trying to blink away the dark spots her father’s face came into her sight. Bucky leaned down and picked up his daughter. Emily cried out, but she clenched her teeth to make it through the pain.
“We have to keep going,” Bucky said.
“I know,” Emily breathed out.
All she wanted to do was give up. She wanted to go back to happier times. Living in Wakanda with her father’s was all that she wanted. Steve and Bucky. Her parents. The men that she was created from. The men who would do anything to keep her safe. After the bullshit at that stupid airport brought them here. T’Challa and Shuri had saved Bucky. They had helped bring her dad back to her.
The three of them were living a happy life here. Until now. Emily was afraid that she was going to die here. Emily stood back to back with Bucky. He had handed her a handgun and they were trying to shoot down Thanos’ army buying time for Steve and the others to take down Thanos. Emily turned just in time to watch Thor drive his hammer into Thanos’ chest. She let out a sigh of relief. Everyone stood around watching and waiting for Thanos to die.
“You should have gone for the head,” Thanos said.
Emily’s eyes widened as she watched in horror, Thanos picks up his hand and snaps his fingers.
“What did you do?” Thor demanded.
Emily felt a brush against her arm. She looked at her dad. He took a step forward calling out to her other dad.
“Steve?”
Emily could feel her throat closing up as she and her dad watched Bucky turn to dust and fade away.
“Dad!” Emily shouted as she reached for his arm, but instead of grabbing onto the cold metal her hand went right through it. Tears filled her eyes as she looked up as Steve hurried over to the two of them.
“Buck,” Steve whispered.
“Where? Where is he?” Emily cried out.
Steve grabbed his daughter before she could fall to the ground. All around them fighters, friends, lovers, and family members were turning into dust and fading away. Steve collapsed back taking his daughter with them.
“Dad?” Emily spoke softly.
Steve looked down at his daughter. Tears rolled down her face. He could see the bruises that littered her skin. The sorrow could be seen in her eyes. She clung to him. Tightening her grip on him in fear that she was going to lose bother fathers before her. Steve pulled her in close as he could and squeezed her as tight as she could manage so that he could reassure her that he was there for her. That she wasn’t going to be alone.
“He’s gone, kid, they’re all gone,” Steve whispered.
Emily’s heart sunk. She closed her eyes. All she could see was her father standing next to her. His metal arm reaching out towards her as he called out Steve’s name. She could see herself reaching for him and coming up empty-handed. Emily had lost him once again. Her eyes popped open as the survivors came to join them. She flinched when Natasha dropped a hand onto her shoulder.
“Steve,” Natasha whispered.
Steve looked up at his friend.
“We lost,” Steve whispered.
Thor stood there staring at everyone. He had failed them all.
Jess ran. She ran so hard her legs were aching. She almost tripped over a piece of the moon. Jess watched in horror as her brother tripped forward and her dad caught him. Out of the corner of her eye, she watched slowly as one by one the guardians were disappearing.
Tony hung onto his son and slowly lowered him down to the ground.
“Dad! I don’t feel so good,” Peter’s spider senses were overwhelming.
“I got you, kid,” Tony said.
He looked up as his daughter fell to her knees next to him. Peter reached up to grab his sister’s hand.
“I don’t feel so good. I don’t know what’s happening,” Peter said in a panic.
“It’s okay,” Tony tried reassuring him.
“Please, I don’t wanna go. I don’t wanna go. I’m sorry,” Peter’s voice cracked.
Tears streamed down Jess’ face as she watched her brother turn to dust and the wind was quick to blow him away.
“Peter,” Jess whispered.
Tony sat down in disbelief. His hands shook as he looked down at his hands that were now covered in what used to be his son. Behind the Stark’s stood Nebula. She kept an eye on them as the pair sat there in shock over on what had happened.
Nebula let the father and daughter duo sit there for several long minutes to allow them some time to mourn their lost loved one. She knew she had to get them into a ship as soon as she could, but Nebula also understood that the pair had just lost someone. Even though Nebula was hurting over the fact that her father had sacrificed her sister there was a time and a place for her to mourn and now wasn’t the time.
Eventually, Nebula was able to get both Starks onto the ship. Tony and Jess looked around the ship.
“Is this going to get us to Earth?” Tony asked.
Nebula looked at him. Tony could tell by the look on her face that this was it. That he and his daughter may have survived the snap, but they might not make it off this ship alive.
“The rations will have to be cut down as much as we can bare it to make it last,” Jess said turning back toward Tony and Nebula.
“The oxygen,” Nebula began.
“We’ll worry about that when the time comes,” Tony interrupted her.
Tony didn’t want to worry his daughter more than he had to. Tony opened up his arms and Jess came right to him. He hugged Jess and pressed a kiss to the top of her head.
“Mom,” Jess began.
“Is the strongest person I know. I can feel it, Jess. She made it,” Tony said.
“But how do you know?” Jess asked.
“Trust me, I just know,” Tony reassured her.
Nebula got the ship up and flying towards Earth. For the human sake, Nebula hoped that they could stretch out the food and gas until they were close enough to Earth for hopefully somebody could come and rescue them.
Day one was completed by the three of them finding beds and falling asleep. All three of them slept through the second day. Jess’ dreams were plagued with watching her brother die over and over again.
Day three found the three of them making repairs on the ship. They were trying to do everything possible to get them back home in one piece.
Day fours and five found Nebula still repairing the ship. Tony and Jess were talking about good ole memories. Even though she was horribly mad at her friend, Jess hoped that Emily had survived the snap. She couldn’t bear to lose her brother and her best friend.
Day six, Nebula noticed how Tony began to eat less and less. She also knew that Jess was stockpiling the extra food that her father gave her to try and make it last. Nebula was starting to grow worried about both humans.
On day seven, Jess taught Nebula all of the games she could come up with. Tic tac toe, MASH, Hangman, and other games. At night when Jess was sound asleep and Tony was too afraid to go to sleep, Nebula and Tony played paper football.
Day eight and day nine was a long stretch for all three of them. Nebula could see how weak both Tony and Jess were becoming. It was growing harder to breathe as the oxygen was almost gone.
During day ten, Nebula caught Jess writing goodbye letters. When the blonde had dropped off, Nebula read through the letters. There was one addressed to her mom, her best friend, and a few others that Nebula wasn’t quite sure, but the last one she was positive it was a love letter.
The humans were dying. Day eleven was here and Nebula feared that this was it for the father and daughter and duo. Nebula listened to Tony say his goodbyes to Pepper. She had put him in the captain’s seat and dragged Jess’ sleeping form to the seat behind him.
As Nebula was buckling Jess in a bright light filled the front of the ship. Nebula shot forward quickly. If they were somehow being attacked by whoever, Nebula was going to do whatever she had to do to protect the ship and the Stark’s. If they were being attacked Nebula knew this was going to be a suicide mission, but she had to go down fighting.
At least for them.
“Pepper?” Tony called out softly.
“No, Tony, go back to sleep,” Nebula said.
The light only got bright and brighter. Tony closed his eyes once again. Nebula was forced to cover her face from the brightness. She was rocked forward as the ship was suddenly jerked.
Nebula tried looking through the brightness to see who was out there. Who was going to end all three of their agony? Finally, Nebula caught something out of the corner of her eye as she lowered her arm once more to protect her eyes.
“My god,” Nebula whispered.
Maybe their hopes and prayers would be answered after all.
Emily sat in the corner of the room. Thor sat beside her. He had never left her side ever since they got back to the Avengers base. Thor was worried about her. She hadn’t said a word since they had arrived back. She didn’t eat. She didn’t sleep. Banner had spouted off that she was traumatized and it a comatose state.
Everyone was worried about her. They all tried everything and anything they could to get her to snap out of it, but nothing they had tried worked. The screens in front of them flashed of all of the people they have lost or were missing. So many of the familiar faces were floating around on the screen.
“Hurry. Come on.” Rhodey said.
Thor’s head snapped up. Something was going on. He glanced over at Emily. He didn’t want to leave her, but Thor needed to know what was going on outside. Pressing a kiss to the back of her hand, Thor let go of Emily and followed after the others. Emily still sat there staring off into space.
Inside of the Avengers base, Jess had to smack away the prying hands. She wanted to sleep. Food. A shower. A lot of things were on her to do list, but the number one thing was putting her eyes on her best friend. Jess stormed into the large room. Her eyes scanned the room looking for Emily.
Jess’ heart skipped a beat when she saw her there sitting in the corner. She let out a long sigh and hurried across the room to kneel down in front of her friend. Emily sat unmovingly. She didn’t blink. Jess at first wasn’t sure if she was even breathing. Jess waved a hand in front of her face and Emily didn’t even blink.
“Em?” Jess said softly.
“Emily is physically here, but she’s not,” Banner said behind her.
Jess looked over her shoulder.
“What happened?” Jess asked him.
“The shock of watching your father turn to dust in front of you can shock a person,” Banner explained.
‘Bucky?” Jess said.
“Is gone. Emily was right there with him and watched it all happen. Sam’s gone too.” Banner added.
“So pretty much her whole family,” Jess said.
Banner nodded. “I’m sorry about your brother,”
Jess turned away to hide her tears. “Thanks,”
“There’s a whole list if you’d like to see who all didn’t make it,” Banner said.
“I’ll look at it later,”
Jess and Banner both turned towards the other room when they heard Tony yelling. Jess turned back toward Emily. She brushed her cheek and then stood.
“Any chance you know when she’d be back to normal?” Jess asked.
Banner shook his head. “She just needs the time,”
“Tony! Tony!” The group started shouting.
Jess abandoned her friend to go to her dad’s side. Banner followed close after Jess so he could check on his friend. After a while, Thor came back to check on her.
“Come on kid,” Thor said softly as he helped her to her feet.
Jess watched Thor take Emily down the hall to her bedroom. Steve was talking with Rhodey. She caught the way his face fall at the sight of his daughter being lead down to her own bedroom. Rhodey patted him on the back. Steve only nodded and then ran a hand over his tired face.
Jess was still there waiting and watching the others as they made a plan to go after Thanos. She could hear them talking about this being their second chance. The team had a plan and they were leaving first thing to go after Thanos. Jess knew better than to ask and go with them, but god she so badly wanted to go and watch the team do what the team did best.
The team was officially done and defeated. Pepper loaded up her family and drove them far from here. Jess watched the team get smaller and smaller as Happy drove them away.
“You could have stayed,” Pepper said.
Jess turned back towards her mom. Tony was already asleep and leaning against Pepper’s shoulder. Jess shook her head.
“You and dad need me more,” Jess said.
Pepper just nodded.
Back inside of the base Nat and Carol tried to talk Thor out of leaving, but he wasn’t hearing any of it. Steve was talking with Rhodey and Banner on what was going to happen next for them.
“Stay for Emily! She needs you,” Nat pleaded with Thor.
The god looked over at the young girl. “I can’t,”
As the others joined the girls in trying to keep Thor here they didn’t hear the tracker on the map going off. The sound was extremely loud. The tracking device had finally located a few of their missing members. As the alarm grew louder and louder the screen brought up the pictures of the once missing people.
  Everyone fell silent when they all watched Emily sprint past them.
“Emily?” Steve said in confusion.
The team chased after her. They found her running towards one of the jets.
“Hey, hey, hey!” Steve yelled out as he caught up with his daughter.
“Where are you going?” Nat asked.
“They’re alive,” Emily said her voice was rough and hoarse.
“Found who?” Banner asked in confusion.
Emily brought up the map in the jet. She opened up the four red dots on the map.
“They’re alive,” She said again.
Steve looked at his daughter.
“Emily,” He began.
“Don’t. Our tracking systems don’t lie. I have to go to them,” Emily said.
Steve looked at the remaining of their team.
“Go,” Nat said.
Emily looked back at her.
“Emily’s right our system isn’t flawed. Go to them,” Nat explained.
Steve nodded and joined his daughter on the jet.
“Be careful the both of you,” Nat said.
The rest of the team stood back as the jet took off. Steve flew the jet out of the building as Emily put in the coordinates.
“Emily,” Steve said softly once they were officially on their way.
Emily looked over at her dad. “If it’s truly them all of their families were part of the snap,”
“I know,” Emily whispered. “But I have to get to them, dad.”
Steve nodded. He knew his daughter wasn’t going to let them go anywhere but with them.
A few hours into their flight Steve was finally lowering the jet to land. The jet had barely touched the ground when Emily was out of her seat and hurrying towards the door. It was dark out she grabbed a flashlight and then hurried off the jet. Her dad was hot on her heels. Steve held a tablet in his hand as they were tracking the tracker. Emily swept the flashlight back and forth as they were searching the area.
“Several feet north,” Steve said.
Emily left her dad’s side and started running. Steve jogged to keep up with her. As they reached a thick part of the wooded area they could see what looked like a tiny hut was built.
“Who’s out there?” A voice shouted.
“We have weapons!” Another voice yelled.
Emily’s heart was racing. She stopped in her tracks and whistled a familiar tune. A rustling of the leaves had Emily and Steve drawing their attention to the side.
“It’s her! It’s her!”
“Emily!”
“Oh thank god!”
Emily opened her arms has four young boys came running towards her. Emily gathered them all up and hugged them as tightly as she could.
“You’re okay,” Emily said.
“I never thought you were going to come,” Freddy said in disbelief.
“I’m here. You’re safe,” Emily replied.
“They’re gone, Em,” Damian said.
Emily nodded. “I know,”
“I watched,” Damian trailed off.
“Come on let’s get you out of here,” Emily said.
“Where are we going to go?” Jon asked.
Emily looked back at her dad. Steve smiled softly and nodded to his daughter. “We’re going to go home,” Emily said.
“With you?” Billy asked.
“Yeah boys, we’re going home,” Steve said.
Jon and Freddy ran over to Steve and gave him a huge hug. Emily smiled at her dad.
“We better get out of here. We have a long flight home,” Steve said.
Billy ran up to join Jon and Freddy with Steve. Damian walked next to Emily. He hooked his arms around her waist. Emily pulled him in close.
“How bad is it?” Damian asked.
Emily looked down at him and had to keep herself from crying. “It’s pretty bad, D,” Emily told him.
“How many?” Damian asked.
“Fifty percent, just like Thanos said,” Emily said.
“Thanos?” Damian asked.
“Dead,” Emily simply replied.
“Who’s all left?” Damian said.
“Not many of us,” Emily said.
“Emily?” Damian said softly.
She looked down at him sadly.
“It’s going to be okay,” He said and Emily really wanted to believe him, but their happy ending was long gone.

any tips for somebody trying out warframe for the first time since they were like uuuuhh. 17?
I’m gonna assume this means you haven’t checked out the game in a few years, which puts you in a boat similar to the one I was in when I redownloaded it in 2016, which is totally cool! The game has changed so much it may as well be a different game, and continues to do so every year. In some ways the new player experience is streamlined, but overall it’s still really overwhelming to get into.
First off, if you’re redownloading on the same platform with the same account you had previously, anything you did previously will still be there. For example, when I first played I started with Mag. When I tried the game again years later, I picked Volt for the tutorial quest that was added in the meantime, but once I got into the game proper, I still had Mag. And I’ve heard of accounts of people thinking they’d lose their Prime frames or platinum after reinstalling, only to still fin them there. So that’s a cool thing I’m sure still applies.
If you’re starting fresh, in regards to starter frames, I recommend Excalibur or Volt depending on whether or not you’ll be playing with others or solo. I say this because Mag and Excalibur can be acquired very early on (with Mag being one of the first three frames you can farm for once you have access to the solar map; she’s my favorite of the three, and the only reason I recommend not to choose her to start is because she’s incredibly simple to acquire regardless); for Volt, however, you’ll need to join a clan to have access to their dojo and their labs, which have blueprints for various things, including Volt. If you don’t want to commit to a clan but want the blueprints, many clans are open to inviting people with no commitment or requirements, so you can grab your blueprints and leave. I saw this a lot frequently with the tweaks made to Nezha, who can only be acquired via a clan dojo (also my favorite frame, highly recommend, Nezha’s the reason I’m into warframe). Lots of newer players asked to join clans just to get him, and clans were very receptive to this!
But uh, in short; if you don’t wanna talk to people, choose Volt. Otherwise, maybe go for Excal since the boss fight to acquire him can take longer/is more annoying than Mag’s, who is easy peasy. Although, you can start your own clan and build your own dojo/labs, but it’ll take a long while to get things set up so you can have access to those blueprints.
Speaking of blueprints, I feel they’re set up in a confusing way that can seem unfair. I don’t believe Warframe is a game that promotes microtransactions and works hard to make it optional, but the menu layout isn’t always clear on this. By this I mean, if you’re looking for new frames or weapons in the market, and it says you have to buy with platinum, the real world currency–you really don’t. There will be a button prompt that will either give you the price of the blueprint in credits, so you can gather material and craft the frame/weapon, or it will tell you where the blueprint is, which generally means it’s in a dojo lab, a quest, or you farm for it somewhere.
If you don’t know what to do, follow the Solar Map. It basically tells you where to go and what unlocks, be it planets, quests, or new game functions and such. If you’re interested in the open world areas, the REALLY COOL THING is that they’re available from the start! Plains of Eidolon is on Earth and deliberately has a new player friendly tutorial and a good half or more of the features. The upcoming Fortuna addition will be on Venus, which is also a planet that doesn’t take long to get to.
You’re going to get some starter platinum that you can’t trade, and I highly recommend you keep it for extra warframe and weapon slots. I find it ridiculous that they cost platinum, but at least it’s a very low amount that’s easy enough to trade for. You can earn platinum in-game via acquiring relics and opening them in void fissure missions. This is something I don’t think is explained unless you look for it in the in-game Codex; but the Warframe wiki will probably be your best source of info for just about everything. To be honest, the only things in the game that absolutely require platinum that can’t be farmed are cosmetics* and slots. Everything else can either be farmed, or just requires patience (building items in your foundry takes real time for example; it costs platinum to speed it up, but you don’t really need to spend it).
(*also exception to the cosmetics rule are alt helmets; tennogen, that is user made ones, and deluxe skins+helmets will always cost platinum, but the official ones can be acquired via alerts.)
If you happen to have an Amazon Prime and/or Twitch account, use them! Linking your Prime account to twitch gives you access to Twitch prime, and therefore various bundles Digital Extremes have been releasing which include free Prime frames and weapons. You can earn stuff even if you just have a Twitch account, as DE has been experimenting with Twitch drops, and if you tune into their weekly streams, you can win platinum and other prizes. I won platinum in my first few months of playing! The devs are also wonderful and in near constant communication with the playerbase and are, like, constantly just giving things away, it’s amazing.
Uhh lastly, I wanna say overall the community is good, but I suppose that would depend on where you interact. The region chat in game is full of trolls, and from what I’ve seen on reddit or the official forums, it’s mostly full of either whining or ~veterans~ talking about the meta which consists of a bunch of shit that’s really not relevant to newer or uninterested players. The fandom here on tumblr is full of a lot of creatives (myself included! though I haven’t done anything for Warframe yet) which is super cool, but if you care at all about the lore or story, you’ll want to blacklist spoilers and stuff liberally if you browse the tag, since PC gets updates before consoles, and in general the big story reveals are a few years old now. Personally if I need to look up something, I just go to the wiki.
That’s all I can think of! I apologize for the text dump, but as much as I love Warframe, many of the game features aren’t well-explained in the game and it’s hard not to over-explain. Thank you very much for asking me about this fantastic game and please feel free to ask me anything else! Or if anyone else has any starter advice to add on, that’s cool too! I LOVE WARFRAME A LOT AND I’M VERY EXCITED YOU’RE GIVING IT ANOTHER TRY BECAUSE IT’S A GREAT GAME!!!

""What's the difference in the government requiring you to buy health insurance, and car insurance?""
________________________________ Okay, I don't think I got my question across last time. My last question I also said: Some state, maybe all, require you to buy car insurance. So, what's the difference between those two? The government is requiring you to buy something. I disagree with ObamaCare, but I also disagree with Car Insurance, but why aren't people getting all bent out of shape out that? __________________________________ To add on to that: I understand driving a car is a privildge, but I don't understand why I am required to buy car insurance for owning a car. I feel like that would be saying you have to buy fire insurance for you house because you might catch someone else's house on fire. But, what if you are a good driver and don't wreck, why are you still required to buy insurance? I don't see the government telling me what I need to buy and what I don't buy when I own something. I can understand the danger to others, but insurance doesn't make a driver better or worse. If you are a bad driver you need insurance to cover your bad driving, but if your a good driver why do you still need insurance?""

She used to have a car before that was in an accident(my brother hit somebody else car) and we had to drop that insurance(progressive). Two years after my brother broke another car that my mother bought but this time the insurance company(state farm) did not find out. Right now we are back to progressive and a car hit me while driving and I did call the insurance.

Can my parents insure my car without me on the insurance policy?
Ok, there's a little bit to the story. I want my mom to sign my car (which is in her name at the moment) over to me. She said that she would. The DMV people said that to change the car over into my name, I have to bring in my I.D. and proof of insurance. I'm wondering if they will switch the car into my name without me being listed on my mom's policy (the ins. car has her name on it.) Will the people at the DMV switch the car into my name, or do I have to have my own insurance, or be put on her policy?""

Does anyone know anything about insurance?
just brought a car but im not insured on it yet as i only have a provisional license. Ive got my test the end of this month and this will sound cocky but i ave a feeling i will pass it ok. But if i get insurance now with a provisional license and pay it in installments, if and when i pass my test, Do people usualy have to pay the following 11 months of provisional insurance (at a higher cost) instead of the full license cost, do you get me? kinda confusing..but if you know anything about it from your own experience or something, wil you tell me what insurance people you r with so i can check them out..i live in ireland by the way so dont tell me about english companies please :) like eg.. my insurance is 1500e, i pay say 30e a week or something on a provisional license. opposed to: my insurance is 800e, i pay just 20e a week or something on a full license.. Do i still have to finish paying 1500e instead of 800e? i cant explain it anymore sorry if it not clear..? thanks x""

I've been with a car insurance company for 3 years now and have been lucky enough to not have to file any claims with them, I just had my policy renewed and the premium went up about $100 from the previous year. Prior to this it had always gone down and when I called to ask why it went up they said because of an increase in claims in my area, now I know insurance has many factors such as the area you live in, and even if that is true I feel as if I should call and mention that I've had no claims in my three years with them, no tickets on my record and always pay my 6 month premium at once, would this be a useless attempt at getting them to lower my premium or could this possibly help me?

""Insurance estimate way to low, help?""
Ok, So about 2 weeks ago I was at a friends house. When I walked out and was getting ready to get into my truck, I noticed all four windows from the passenger side and drivers side smashed out, along with my truck being keyed all around on every panel. I called my insurance company the next day and a few days later they sent someone to give an estimate. I wasn't there though. So I then received a check in the mail, along with the breakdown of the estimate. They gave me $2,600, minus my deductable left me stuck with a check for $1,600. I felt that was way to cheap for a brand new paint job and to replace my windows, so I went around and got quite a few estimates of my own. They ranged between $5,800 - $7,000. I faxed them over the estimates, and what they told me was that the way they worked was I'm supposed to show them their estimate and they are supposed to work with the shop owner from there. So today I went, and as the shop owner was reading through the estimate, he was laughing and pointing things out, saying they can't be serious. He said there is basically no shop that would do all that work for cheap. He says I might need a lawyer. Any advice guys? Because all I want is my truck fixed, and its turning into a big ordeal. I drive a 2003 Chevy Silverado just in case that matters. I also still have they check they gave me sitting my my drawer, haven't cashed it.""

Home & Auto Insurance Rip-Off?

With one credit card that I pay off in full monthly and never a late payment nor any outstanding debt i would think I should have scored high on my credit report.

Can you have 2 different cars with different insurance?

Car Insurance Renewal price difference?
My car insurance is due today with Admiral .. I took out a renewal quote through comparison website and as I was planning to change my car initially I didn't renew it in advance. Now I checked online again but it wouldn't give me previous quotes and is giving a higher price(abt 300 more) When I give another renewal date e.g 25th then its again cheaper. My question is If I can't get a cheaper price for now . Is it possible to renew it after few days instead? Does that affect insurance as I know if you don't have insurance then premium costs is same as for new drivers but I recall some one telling me that one can have a month insurance break without affecting their renewal rate?

Insurance for a Car Loan..?
The thing is.. I have just recently gotten my aunt to co-sign for a loan on a 2001 Chrysler Sebring lxi. Me and my boyfriend will be the ones who have the car, but me on the other hand, I currently have a Learners Permit so i'm unable to drive it but my boyfriend has a license therefore he can. So for the Financial Company who is loaning us the money has me on file because i'm the only one with income since he doesn't have a job. The problem i have is that the financial company has my information but I can't get insurance for myself as i will not be driving the car, ONLY my boyfriend. So my question is, since i hold a learners permit and he has the license and will be driving, can i just put his name for the insurance? The financial company asked for Proof of Insurance but i don't know if they'll allow him to have the insurance in his name since the loan is in mine? I don't want to get denied because of that one factor since i already got accepted for the loan. I'm sorry, i'm new at all at this :/ Any help would be appreciated, Thanks!""

What is a good car insurance company - value and a known company - not high risk?
I would like to switch car insurance companies - one because when I buy a third car and add it to my policy they charge me $5.00 for installment billing even though I pay in full - this leads to the second more serious complication which is that my husband works in the car business and on occasion decides to buy a new car b/c it is a good value and he like the car, then we sell the second car. We typically have the second car for 11-22 months. I mentioned to the insurance company that in the future I want to avoid this $5.00 fee since I always pay in full and I waving it this time wouldn't solve future issues b/c my husband is in the car business and we buy a third car to sell the second when he finds one he likes.

What motorcycle would be cheap to insure in Greater Toronto Area?
Hello everyone! I am a new 20 years old motorcyclist living in the suburban GTA. I just got my M1 license and I've enrolled myself into a motorcycle course which would help me earn my M2 by the end of September. So, I was thinking about buying a new motorcycle around new years time or in february. I am trying to do all my research but I havent got too far with the insurance problem. I want a bike that could get me up and down the highway to my school in downtown Toronto (40 km each way). and maybe some occasional weekend rides. First question comes to my mind is what bike should I get that'll be good for commuting and would be cheap on insurance. Experience wise I am comfortable with upto most 650 sport bikes. But I do understand that insurance may vary. Another question was, which insurance provider should I chose, that is fairly cheap considering I have never had any sort of insurance policy under my name. Or, should I wait till next summer when I turn 21? Thanks for the replies in advance!""

Both cars needed thousands of dollars of repairs and we needed rehab from our injuries as well. The bigger the car, the safer it is...while still keeping that fuel-efficiency). Thanks so much!""

""Bike insurance idea, would it work?""
As you know insurance for a 600cc sports bike for a 17yr old (male) is extremely high (I was quoted 9000+), however you may of heard of fronting, (putting someone with lots more experience and age as the main driver and putting me (17yr old) as a second driver) this apparently greatly reduces the insurance cost, however is a form of insurance fraud and is illegal. But I thought of a plan... You see I have my heart set on a honda cbr600rr, it is much cheaper than a 125cc bike that I would buy new only to buy another bike a few years later thus deeming the 125 useless, but what if I got the 600 and did make my dad (who is much older and more experienced) the main driver and me the 2nd, but to avoid it being fronting, he could use it when i'm not and I could force him to ride somewhere so ultimately he would have used it more so it wouldn't be illegal right?

Truck registration in different state health insurance?
I lived in california and drove a car my dad had under his name on the title. He died and i moved to montana with that same car. I have been on my step moms health insurance plan for some time. I am legally able to be on her plan as long as i list myself as being in the same household until age 26. I was wondering if i register that truck in my name if uncle sam can find out i moved and thus making my health insurance unusable. Should i just drop my step moms insurance and struggle to get my own? What are my options?

Insurance coverage question?
I was involved in a three car accident, the car that started it came in to main street and got hit by one car, consequently he lost control of his car went across the next lane and hit me. His insurance already told me they are taking liability and will pay both drivers' damages, but he said that California minimum liability is only $5000, so they are planning to divide the $5000 to cover both drivers. However the damage in my car and the other guy's car exceeds $5000. I thought the limit if indeed is $5000 it should be $5000 for each driver and not for both. What do you think? Maybe they're just giving my the short end of the stick or twisting things for their convenience. Anybody knows for sure how it should work?""
What is this type of insurance called? And how much?
So from general information, i know typically an arena will say that you need some insurance to cover (X) amount, like $1,000,000. My question is how does that person get that insurance? What does the insurance policy look like? And how much would he/she have to pay to get that insurance?""
Help. I've missed two car insurance installments by accident and now they want me to pay the rest in full.?
I've stupidly missed two payments. Not on purpose. I'm pregnant and at college with exams and I'm due in March so my mind is trying to focus on revising, focus on saving money to buy baby things with (which we still need to buy most stuff). and focusing on bills etc. Anyway. How can I still be insured but avoid having to pay them the rest of the due fees for my contract term? An idea I had was to cancel it, and then start new insurance with another company? I would have to pay a new deposit and to cancel the old insurance I would have to pay some money as well. Any other ideas?""
