Che'ri, in a high voice, holding Barbie: Hey Ken! I was thinking about going back to school and starting a career!
Che'ri, in a deep voice, holding Ken: Nonsense, Barbie. You’re staying home to have my kids.
Samakro: What are you doing, Che'ri?
Che'ri: Playing systemic oppression.
Whoever gave little skywalker che'ri a camera and let her into the briefing room is going to be in biiiiiiig trouble.
Glad I got my least favorite piece out of the way early. It's only downhill from here friends! It was fun to come up with quick designs for Thalias samakro and che'ri tho and I got to sneak in my oc doc :> so not a complete loss
I edited together Marc Thompson's audio recording from Thrawn: Alliances, "Then" with Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising Chapter 17 when General Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 meet Snior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo and Sky-Walker Che'ri. By Timothy Zahn. Enjoy!

Personal thoughts below if anyone cares:
(Link to more 7th Fleet and Chimaera dividers)
I was so giddy when Chaos Rising unexpectedly bumped into Alliances. Alliances came out in 2018, and Chaos Rising in 2020. One book, and two years later, we got to see that Timothy Zahn had everything perfectly planned and he just made us wait for something we didn't know we were waiting for, which is not unlike his devious son. If only the rest of this franchise could be so coordinated!
she deserves the bubbliest and warmest and the most beautifully scented baths .. and some fancy ass marker set ..... and also sleep... so much sleep...
things i think that thrawn + the ascendancy gang would love
thrawn: claw machines. honestly just carnival games in general - i feel like he'd be too good at them & would constantly try to win eli the biggest possible stuffed animal
eli: early 2000s/2010s daytime cooking shows with female leads (barefoot contessa, the pioneer woman, giada at home, etc.)
ar'alani: jigsaw puzzles
che'ri: making friendship bracelets for the eras tour/taylor swift in general (it's also just important to me that she listens to 'would've could've should've' & gets to be sad + angry about her childhood)
wutroow: reality television, but especially shows like the circle or big brother (she's convinced she would win). also astrology
samakro: going to a full service high tea - the ones with all the fancy finger foods & fine china
thalias: paint your own pottery places
ba'kif: dressing up as fictional characters to go cheer up kids who are sick in the hospital
faro: home renovation/diy projects, but the super intense ones that require at least 3 trips to home depot
New chapter of my post-Rebels Thrawn fic! We're getting to the end, just one more before the epilogue :)
Summary:
Trapped in the Unknown Regions, Thrawn and the Chimaera stumble upon a secret, one with the power to destroy their enemies – or themselves.
Searching for an answer to her nightmares, Che’ri sets off across the stars, discovering long-forgotten mysteries of the Chiss sky-walkers – and that those mysteries were not lost, but stolen.
Once more, their paths will cross, and the path of the galaxy will be changed forever.
