Chocolate and Peanut Butters activates my sweet tooth.

The art of @stars-ephemeral / the former chaosandwonder 🥰

The ability to play any of a number of video games released over a massive timeline, from last year's AAA Baldur's Gate 3 to an ancient DOS game from 1989.

My writing journals, which include literally hundreds of pages of notes that will likely contribute next to nothing in terms of a finished product. (Its the journey, not the destination.)

The GIF button on Facebook comments. I don't even LIKE Facebook, but i love the GIF button. I apparently have a reputation with my friends.

thank you for asking @swtorpadawan <3

Vowrawn !

Thanks for another ask @swtorpadawan! Honestly things for good ol’ Vowrawn isn’t too different from the game but let’s talk about his journey to Emperor anyways.

Darth Vowrawn is one lucky bastard now that I think about it, as Anri once said Sith don’t usually live as long as him without knowing a thing or two.

He managed to avoid the Emperors Hand hunting for him thanks to his old friend the Wrath, Vanzeth, covering his back. Thank the force the Servants mysteriously disappeared, though it wasn’t long before everyone discovered why.

He was one of the few Dark Councilors, along with Acina, to survive Arcann’s assault on the rest of the Galaxy, not even having to go into hiding and being the one to represent the Empire in their surrender.

Since then he’s being serving on the newly formed Dark Council under Empress Acina, comfortably working as the Head of Civil Administration all while him and Xarion, Head of Galactic influence, was secretly aiding an unknown assailant (more on that later) striking against both the Republic and the Eternal Empire.

Then after Acina’s death on Iokath Vowrawn wasted no time in claiming the throne as Emperor and though he was met with some resistance he was able to squash the opposition.

Now he leads the Empire in their renewed War against the Republic, Malgus or anyone else who’s a threat to them, his secret ally now properly in the fold.

Who is Omega's favorite companion and why?

Thanks for the ask! Sorry it took so long to reply. I've been in the middle of moving across the ocean, lol!

Blakk's favorite is going to be a toss-up between Vector and Lokin. Both are very caring in their own ways, and Vector's compassion in particular struck a chord that Blakk wasn't used to. In fact, Blakk very nearly became a Joiner just to feel more of that connection. He's spent most of his life since childhood disconnected from the Force, so it was a compelling replacement at a point when he desperately needed it.

Lokin, of course, being the doctor on the ship, ends up being the person Blakk comes to trust at his most vulnerable. If Blakk's storyline hadn't involved other super important OCs, then Lokin and Vector would probably have played super prominent roles in shaping his life and finding some kind of resolution to his broken Force connection.

Why is your OC so cute when she looks at Lana?

cos brain go Stoobid when see Wife

Are Zar Draya's broadcasts of Alderaanian nobles fighting the Zakuul equivalent of reality TV?

oh, 100% YES

It ends up one of those deals that everyone who watches has Houses they root for, nobles they do and don't like, they get into arguments with each other about "oh, what's gonna happen next??" and "so-and-so is totally about to backstab what's-their-name"

Rist is the most popular of the Houses - the Zakuulans love them and their blackmail, assassination capabilities, and secrecy.

They probably don't know that Draya is exacerbating the conflicts, but she totally focuses on Rist so they get pissy with the other Houses more often.

Vector's ex girlfriend, Anora !

From the [SWTOR NPC Headcanons Ask List]

This one's another dud, I'm afraid! I know Enough about what happens during the Agent storyline to know that I just cannot play through it. So I have exactly One agent, and she has not left Hutta since I found out the spoilers, and probably never will. I don't even know who this NPC is because outside of the main companions that I've seen people talk about and like, the central NPCs like Keeper I have not ever done anything to do with the Imperial Agent storyline and I can say with 100% certainty that I Never Will. There's a lot of yikes there for me and I just can't risk it D:

Leeha narezz!

Thanks for asking @swtorpadawan and sorry it took like a year to get to lol 😅

Ask me about SWTOR NPCs

In The Kine Legacy, Ryscha (Hero of Tython) rescued Leeha and then never said anything about her relationship with Jomar. So when Leeha returned to Tython, she was never criticized and simply offered all of the help and assistance she needed to begin recovering from her time as the Emperor's thrall.

Though she was considered a warrior that "never knew failure," Leeha's time as the Emperor's slave had been incredibly traumatic and she had little desire to return to combat even as the Galactic War raged on. Instead, she focused both on learning more healing techniques and on her old research of how the Force could impact machines and possibly lead to sentience in droids.

She became a well respected if slightly eccentric healer (few put any real stock into her continued Meedee research) and was one of a select group of Jedi chosen to learn the healing techniques discovered by the Barsen'thor.

While focusing on healing herself and others, Leeha began to feel a deep sorrow for the Hero of Tython, who seemed to be bending and on the verge of breaking under the weight of non-stop combat deployments. But before she could bring her concerns to the Council, Zakuul invaded.

Leeha would join the group of jedi that settled on Ossus and would be responsible for training a new generation of healers. While in isolation from the wider galaxy, she and Jomar began to openly display their love for one another and became one of many relationships that Ossus would see between Jedi and the other non-jedi settlers.

Though she was immensely grateful for being able to have a peaceful existence on Tython and later Ossus, she would always regret not reaching out to the Hero of Tython, feeling that she had failed to help the person that had given her this second chance at life.

Wiredraw was one among this band of fine SWTOR fanartists, fanficcers and RPers whose antics I used to watch from afar during SWTOR's heyday: @asceticcyan, @damarlegacy, @thegarbagechute, @ezroad, @miss-madwell, @awkwardtimezone, @heychief (are they back? 🤔), @amarearts, @lisjonok, and so, so many more, my comfort food and inspiration in times of growing stress.

A few of these incredible people aren't around on Tumblr anymore, quite probably out of frustration after having to purge their blogs in every successive wave of censorship, or maybe simply having outgrown it.

The thing about Wiredraw is that much of her distinctive art still survives the shutdown of her Tumblr, as reblogs by her peers and other admirers. Normally, as a fan art hoarder and compulsive reblogger 😅😓, I'd rather have the artist be reachable (via links to their Tumblr or any alternative) so that people can enjoy more of their art and commission them if they sell their wares, but in her case the only available links are her old DeviantArt (last updated in 2015) and a Twitter that hasn't been updated in a year and a half (and whose content doesn't have to do with any of this anyway, so, it might not be the best idea to link it).

Given things, I think I'm going to reblog her art whenever I find it, because I'd hate it if it would disappear out of sheer social media entropy. I saw @swtorpadawan collect a whole lot of it already, and I was hesitating because of the lack of contact data, but I know I'd regret not joining in.

If anyone still keeps in touch with Wiredraw, it would be great if they could ask her if this is okay with her. And tell her that we miss her and her OCs 🙂.

This is SWTORpadawan's EXTENSIVE collection so far (which I'm oh-so-going to raid and reblog 😅), and this is what I got at the moment, myself. Expect a ton more.

[chaoticstrata]

Oh boy I got tagged in something! Thanks @kemendin! Here's something I've been working on currently, hope ya'll enjoy it! :)

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

Rass didn’t know what it was that drew his eyes to that particular section of the hangar. It could have been the musical laughter that caught his ear. Or the earthy scent of cologne that filled his nose. Or perhaps it was Rass’ gut telling him he needed to look over there right before he finally did, turning around and getting a good look at the Mirialan smuggler standing there. Whatever it was, their eyes met from across the room, soft lavender catching tawny brown--it sent a shiver up Rass’ spine. Those gorgeous eyes crinkled with a smile--more like a knowing smirk really--in his direction, followed by a quick wink before the smuggler went back to speaking with the Wookiee standing next to him. Rass felt his cheeks flush at the wink, not because he got caught, but because the smuggler was all sorts of pretty and had deemed him worthy enough of a wink.  If he hadn’t been waiting for Hylo to find out what ship he was escorting, he’d have gone over to chat with the man. So, imagine his surprise and utter delight when the older Mirialan started walking him in that direction. It would seem the Stars had blessed him because the smuggler was his charge. “Captain Zaberial, I got you your replacement Mando,” Hylo said, patting Rass’ arm as they approached. “Replacement Mando, huh?” Rass grinned, more than a little amused as he looked the Captain up and down, “Do I need to be worried? Or excited?” The instant mischievous grin he received from the other man made him feel even better about this assignment--the smuggler had a sense of humor, thank the Stars. Lavender eyes--wow, were they even more breathtaking up close--looked him over in return.  “Well, that depends on who you’re asking, handsome,” the smuggler said, leaning against the crates they were loading into his ship, “If it’s me, I’d say the latter, without a doubt. If it’s the Mando you’re replacing, then he’d say the former…but then again, he’s not here to say that so you’ll have to take my word for it.”

Now who to tag...and not tag the same people Kem already has. lol @eorzeashan @riachuelowii @swtorpigeons @swtorpadawan @dirthara-dalen Go my pretties!!! Show off! <3

[swtorpadawan]

Sooo, tell me about your BH? I believe I haven't seen you talk about your other Ocs.

Oh yeah - I can talk about Xadya. 🤓

Xadya was originally from an unknown planet in Wild Space. (Its so unknown, it doesn't even have a name.)

She learned armor-crafting from her next of kin. (She once mentioned an uncle, but its unclear if this was an actual blood relation.) The rest of the time, she hunted for food to feed her people.

At some point, things went south for her. She realized she had to get off the planet, so she stowed away on a merchant ship and headed off.

She quickly discovered that the big wide galaxy was a cold in scary place, so she crafted herself armor, both physical and metaphorical. She found that her old hunting skills served her well, and tried her hand at bounty-hunting. That eventually led to her encountering Brayden.

She was fiercely protective of Mako, especially in the early days. It was only after three years together that she developed a romantic relationship with her.

Xadya served the Sith Empire only by contract. She held no particular affection for it, especially having witnessed the corruption on Dromund Kaas. Most notably, Darth Tormen force-choking Mako led her to betray him at Corellia. She loathed the Chancellor, but recognized he was merely a product of a corrupt political system.

Xadya had a few choice words for Mandalore when he offered her a place as his champion. The Tarro Blood feud had left a lousy taste in her mouth. Eventually, grudgingly, she accepted. Then Torian effectively mentored her.

Xadya and Corellan Halcyon briefly met on Makeb. Just as they were about to go at it, their respective companions, Mako and Kira, announced that they knew each other. After a long conversation, they parted company without further violence, and no small measure of respect.

Xadya initially wanted nothing to do with the war against Zakuul, and only joined in because Torian guilted her into answering Mandalore's Call. When Mandalore was killed and the battle turned against the Mandalorians, Torian departed with Shae Vizla's clans, while a different Mandalorian warrior wound up fleeing with Xadya and Mako.

That warrior was Akaavi Sparr.

The three women settled on Xadya's homeworld, building a small home for themselves, while Xadya opened an armorer's shop. Eventually, the three joined in a relationship.

Those were good times.

And then one day, a certain Devaronian - one of three people who still had her holo number - called her up, and pitched her an idea of joining something called the Alliance.

Xadya's reasons for saying yes were complicated. But she, Mako and Akaavi all joined.

In terms of my fic, she appears briefly in "Ashes", and is mentioned elsewhere. I have many WIP projects about her, but i've struggled to turn them into a finished product.

But thank you for letting me spew. 🥰

WIP Wednesday

It’s TECHNICALLY Wednesday here, it totally counts >.>

One dark-gloved hand snakes upward, as Scourge strokes briefly at the tendrils twitching idly on his chin. “…Do you want me to stay, Jedi?” he asks. 

Again, frustratingly, Cas can discern nothing from how Scourge says it. His jaw tenses further as he throws back, “Would I have even asked you if I didn’t?”

The Sith blinks once, conceding this. But then he straightens, flicks his hand towards the Jedi, and asks pointedly, “...Why?”

His tone is level, but there is a new weight to it, a kind of unspoken challenge, and Cas knows instantly - this is a test. Scourge is seeking his intentions, probing for what a future together would entail, and if he does not like the answer Cas gives him - he will leave.

Cas swallows against the knot that’s moved from his chest to his throat, and stares up at Scourge. Because I feel something for you, he wants to burst out. Something deep, and frightening, and furious, and I know I shouldn’t be feeling like this about you, of all people, but I can’t help it. And if I let you go now, I know you won't come back. I’ll never get the chance to find out if someday, you might be able to feel something for me, too.

But try and say any of this, and he might as well kick Scourge out the airlock with his own boot. He can see it so clearly in his mind - the Sith’s face sharp and contemptuous, his breath thick with scorn, as he shreds Caspian’s confession with razored condemnations of sentimental fool. Have you learned nothing?

Look at me actually tagging people uhhhh @pentacass @certified-anakinfucker @swtorpadawan @hyrohkaah @tiredassmage

Toth' lizhan from Nem'ro's palace!

Thank you for the ask @swtorpadawan! Sorry to say though there’s not that much to say about this guy.

Toth continued to advise Nem’ro on important dealings with the Empire long after “Red Blades” help, to the point where he was considered the Hutts second in command.

Things were going well for him…well, until a certain angry psychotic Houk came to Nem’ro’s Palace, looking for some payback. It was a slaughterhouse, Toth tried to escape but he failed.

Skadge ensured the Twi’leks death was slow and painful, an appetiser before the main event.

[pentacass]

combining @kemendin's WIP Wednesday and @swtorpadawan's Six Sentence Sunday tags into...wtv this is lmao. thanks both 🙏 //

"You're not supposed to be here."

"Your point is?"

Quiet challenge in those red-winged eyes further frayed Lana's patience to a hairsbreadth. "I did not ask for your help to hunt the traitor."

Vestra's head tilted back as she barked a laugh - sharp, thorny, laced with Darth Avriss' caustic disdain. "Oh, that is cute. You think I need your permission."

Hands curled into fists, Lana took a step forward - only for the Commander to clasp her shoulder, stopping Lana in her tracks before they could raise hell in a small, enclosed shuttle.

"Your help is welcome on this mission, Avriss," Aelirra spoke cautiously, well aware of the eggshells she tread upon. "So long as you keep the peace."

"Ah, Commander," Vestra purred. "I am relieved to find someone reasonable around here."

Lana gritted her teeth when Vestra shot her a smug, taunting smirk, before turning around to settle in the pilot's seat.

// tags for either WIP Wednesday or Six Sentence Sunday, your choice! @cryo-lily @tiredassmage @intheinkpot

How well do Tarso and Forta get along? Because I have headcanons.

Thank you for enabling my Exarch rambling 💚💜

For my versions of them, they're mostly indifferent toward each other. Tarso is too busy upgrading his Fortress and crawling through the EPHEMRIS code of his and the others' to make sure it's running properly, to have much of a relationship with the other Exarchs.

And Forta.... Well, she likes to keep to herself for the most part.

Some quick background, Tarso helped build the Fortresses. So, he has A Lot of access to them, know how they work inside-out, and his cybernetic upgrades even allow him to, essentially, be part of his Fortress. Not only that, but he can access the cameras and various computer systems of the other Exarch's Fortresses to a more limited degree. Needless to say, he's on a tighter leash than the rest of them because if it.

Anyway.

Tarso does eventually get really disturbed by what Forta's doing with Belsavis, however, and that indifference he had for her before becomes disgust. He was debugging her EPHEMRIS, saw that she was literally feeding dead inmates to the others as she starved them to see what they'd do, and from that point on acted cold toward her.

Now, Tarso is certainly no angel, either - he just couldn't believe what she was doing with that world. They're both the villains, but Forta was terrible even by Tarso's standards, type of thing.

Forta, for her part, remains indifferent toward him. She has more important thing to worry about than why one of the other Exarchs started giving her the cold shoulder.

[chaoticspacefam]

Here's a divisive one - Renata Alde.

Oooooo this is a good one! 👀 (yay we got one!! 🎉🎉*throws streamers* /jk)

(have some screens from Rai's runthrough since I didn't have decent recording/screenshotting software way back at the time I did Vano's run waaayy back in god-knows-what-year (probably like 2019 now hahaha), so I don't have any (that I know of) from Vano's run, sadly xP)

Renata was definitely an...interesting, one for Vano. While she might be a "Sith" in every other sense of the word, I definitely class Vano as what the game canon I guess, would call a Light Sith. So while Vano definitely went in there with her saber drawn, she absolutely only killed people who came at her first. (this, unfortunately, included whatshisface, Renata's bodyguard)

But after Renata sort of apologised and offered to co-operate? Va was all ears. She didn't like Duke Kendoh one bit either (and why would she the dude's a fucking creep 😖) so Va was...surprisingly sympathetic to her plight. She ended up telling FimRess to butt out and leave Renata alone, and kept her promise to deal with Kendoh without dragging Renata over there (Kendoh was not amused, but Vano gently reminded him who the more powerful Sith was in that situation and if he wanted to throw FimRess' life away fine but he "wouldn't be getting another Sith once the Dark Council hears about this" -- she was bluffing of course, but Kendoh didn't know that -- if he kicked off again) They parted ways after Renata told her about where to find Jaesa and probably didn't speak much after that for the rest of the class story, though I do like the idea of Renata maybe making some minor cameos as an Alliance contact or informant of some sort, later on down the line! <3 I'd imagine it'd be nice to know what's going on in the Core Worlds and Va is definitely the type of person to see no issue in "calling in a favour from an old acquaintance". Provided that Renata behaves herself of course. Poor Vano cannot take another attempt on her life after Quinn, Valkorion and then Theron too hahaha
