Batkids as AO3 users

Dick - I don't think he'd be a writer. He just don't give me the vibes, ya know? He would, however, read fics about people he knows. And himself. He's deep in superhero fandom, and at some moment he gets super invested in some rarepair and actually menages to set them up. I also think as a teenager he would stumble upon some E rated fic for someone he knows, then promise himself he'd never touch it again, and then a few years later he reads them a lot, is just super secretive and guilty about it. He does not, however, touch Batman E rated fics with a ten foot pole.

Tim - you'd think he'd write Hero RPF, huh? No. He's deep into Formula 1 RPF. He writes, he reads, he's just very active in fandom. Most of his works are some kind of Formula 1 murder mystery.

Jason - he is the one from Hero RPF. He doesn't read it, he just writes it. In various AU's, ranging from some inspired by his crazy adventures to those from classic literature. When he was still Robin, he wrote Pride and Prejudice Superbat fic, that became crazy popular. After ressurection he sweared he wouldn't touch it, but after checking it out once and realising how tragic his writing style was, he rewrites the whole thing. He reads fics from fandoms he does not know the original works of. He finds a fic he likes, and learns things from it. Then he spirals deep into fandom. Like many of Batfam fans I imagine. That's why he doesn't write, because he feels he can't without knowing the original, and he sure as hell ain't watching some kids show called Ben 10.

Babs - I think her beginnings were in something like Twilight of DCU. She would regret it forever. Currently she's involved in some shows she watches when on break from work and Oracle. I'm not really into TV series but maybe something like Bridgertons or The Boys or something like that. She writes only one-shots and is active on Tumblr. She has like a thousand bookmarks and she posts fic recs with the most wild analysis of writing style, plot consistency and just vibes. She stays away from any RPF's, but esoecially Superhero RPF. She's got it enough on day to day basis thank you very much.

Steph - that girl post Robin writes the most sick gore body horror fics change my mind. And she does it in fandom's you would least expected. She also writes Spoiler/Batgirl fics, that are really fluffy but also full of action and actually made the pairing wildly known.

Cass - she reads everything Steph writes for Spoiler/Batgirl. Steph does not know Cass knows she writes them. Cass is really charmed. She tried writing one, but it came out really dark and she didn't like how clumsy it was and gave up on trying to be an author. She reads heavy angst, crack, or Steph's Spoiler/Batgirl fics, nothing else. She's the person that leaves very short but very sweet comments on literally averything she likes.

Duke - that boy is in the same circles as both Tim and Dick. He actually finds out it's Tim that writes his favourite Formula 1 fics as Tim finds out it's Duke that leaves those super insightful comments on them that start's conversations with author and other readers. They have one talk about it and then forcefully forgets about it and continues as it was. He writes Batman and Robin and Robin Gang fics. He's really good at it, and that's how he found Duck Grayson. Not that any of them knows that's the other on the other side of the screen. And yes, he's Steph's beta reader, and she's his. They don't talk about it, it's just how it is.

Damian - he reads Batman and Robin fics but only about himself. He also draws fanart and makes comics about Batman and Robin (himself). Later he gets involved in Teen Titans fandom, then the Justice League one, and suddenly he's a wildly known fanartist in the whole Hero RPF community. And he did draw a fanart for Jason's fic ones. They both don't know it's the other. He also gives aby superhero an emotional support fictional pet. Dick think it's adorable. (He was the one that introduced Damian to fandom.)

The Second Order

Ben looked up at the sound of voices.

“...just saying,” someone was just saying. “Why Ossus? I get that it’s not a bad place to be sited, but Yavin Four was right there.”

“I considered both,” Uncle Luke replied. “And several other places. But there was… so much to learn, on Ossus.”

“I’m just too used to Yavin Four, I guess,” the other person replied, as they rounded a corner, then glanced up. “Oh, good… uh, is it morning? I’m not sure if it’s morning.”

“It’s the afternoon,” Ben said, putting down his calligraphy set. “Who are you?”

“Master Katarn,” the man introduced himself. “Or, Kyle, I guess. Kyle is probably better, really, it’s just… you know. Jedi Temple.”

“This is my nephew, Ben Solo,” Luke said. “He’s a fine apprentice.”

“Nice to meet you,” Kyle said, holding out his hand to shake, and Ben took it hesitantly.

Much to his relief, the strange Jedi Master – and how did that work? Ben thought he knew everyone who could even try to claim that title – didn’t try the old crusher-grip trick, instead giving him a firm handshake before letting go again.

“Master Skywalker, who is this?” Ben asked. “How don’t I know about him?”

“I’ll let him explain,” Luke invited.

Kyle had looked faintly confused, for a moment, then shrugged it off.

“So there’s this thing called flow walking,” he said. “And I was doing it to try and get out of a Vong ambush, and I ended up here. Fortunately it looks like they didn’t manage to follow me here.”

“...what are Vong?” Ben said.

“If you haven’t heard of them…” Kyle began, then frowned at Luke in an assessing sort of way. “What year is it?”

“You think you might have travelled in time?” Ben asked, realizing what that meant. “It’s, uh, 8004 CRC… um, the New Republic calendar is based on years after the Battle of Yavin, did that happen in your world?”

“Yeah, that happened,” Kyle agreed. “Your uncle destroyed the Death Star, right?”

“Correct,” Luke said. “It’s currently the year twenty-seven, by that reckoning.”

“Great, so I only travelled between universes,” Kyle said. “So… that means the Vong probably aren’t a problem for you, unless they’ve been delayed… have you had any other serious crises that we haven’t? The Yavin academy was assaulted several times, but we’ve always bounced back… did you have the Empire Reborn? Or the Cult of Ragnos?”

Luke and Ben exchanged glances.

“I… don’t know what those are,” Ben admitted.

“I’ve never heard of such a thing either,” Luke agreed. “The only real crisis we’ve faced was the Knights of Ren, but fortunately they didn’t take the lives of any young Jedi.”

“Lucky you,” Kyle said, sounding like he meant it sincerely.

“How are you a Jedi Master?” Ben asked, suddenly.

“It took me a while to accept the title, believe you me,” Kyle replied, with a chuckle. “I’m about… thirty, forty percent self taught, Mara did another twenty percent, and the rest was reciprocal learning from the rest of the Academy. Ultimately Luke’s… counterpart, I guess, named me the Academy’s Battlemaster, but it’s still a struggle to convince myself that I deserve the term.”

He shrugged. “Still, you must have the same kind of problem here, right? Though you didn’t have any of those attacks… any sign of Dark Jedi or rival Sith academies?”

Uncle and nephew both shook their heads, and Kyle seemed to be doing some internal calculations.

“You started your academy in, what, eight to twelve ABY?” he asked. “If you’re much like the Master Skywalker I knew.”

“Eleven,” Ben provided. “Though I didn’t join at that point, I was only six.”

Kyle nodded.

“That means… you must have, what, a hundred and sixty?” he asked. “Two hundred?”

“...um,” Luke began. “Two hundred what?”

“Jedi?” Kyle replied, looking confused.

Ben coughed.

“We have twenty-three,” he said. “I’m one of them, in case it wasn’t clear.”

Kyle just kind of stared for a moment.

“...with all due respect to a fellow Jedi Master,” he began. “What have you been doing with the last sixteen years?”

“I have no idea how to teach!” Luke countered. “I don’t know what your Luke’s training was like, but my training was half an hour with Old Ben in a starship blindfolding me and shooting me with a remote, then I went to a swamp and got… a few months of training, but it was a few months of training from a man who I have now realized was probably crazy before he spent two decades alone in a swamp.”

Kyle nodded along. “Yeah, that’s about right,” he said. “You learned how to touch the Force, and a lot of the rest is just instinct. Most of the education that takes place in a Jedi Academy is when to use the Force – and when not to use the Force.”

He shrugged. “It’s honestly more important that someone learn how to honestly self-assess themselves and how to resist the temptations of the Dark Side than it is to make sure they know exactly how to perform a lightsaber form. If someone needs training on a specific kind of Force skill, teach them at that; don’t feel that someone’s training has to be complete before they’re graduated as a Knight, or even able to be a Master. Learning is continuous.”

Luke looked like he was trying to work out which of several different emotions to be, including embarrassed, offended, contrite and mid-revelation.

“Actually, about a year ago I was in a meeting with the temple management, on how to deal with the war,” Kyle went on, rummaging in his pockets. “We were discussing the best way to implement viable recovery procedures… do I have it on me…”

“I don’t know what those are,” Luke admitted.

“The Vong war on my side of the divide has been causing a lot of casualties,” Kyle explained. “They’ve been going after Jedi especially, and it’s the first time the New Jedi Order’s numbers have contracted… and after what happened before, with the Purges, we were talking about the best way to make sure that the New Jedi Order could flourish and rebuild more quickly. Calista said that she was aiming for the ability to double the Order’s size every four years on average from incoming students… aha!”

Pulling a small cube out of his pocket, Kyle held it up – heedless to the astonished reactions of both Ben and Luke to that statistic.

“I’ve got another one of these back on my ship,” he explained “Calista is pretty sure that these are basically the same as the old Holocrons, and the idea is to share information among all of them to make a distributed archive of knowledge for the New Jedi Order. This one’s… probably mostly up to date.”

He tossed it to Luke, who caught it.

“Feel free,” he said. “Like I say, I’ve got another… I can probably stick around for a bit to help, it should take a few days for the Vong back home to decide that I’m missing and I want to take at least that long before I try going home.”

Ben was trying to recover from everything he’d heard over the last few minutes.

“...actually, now I come to think of it, have you heard of me before?” Kyle asked, most of his focus on Luke. “Because I might need to borrow a starship and take a quick trip to Ruusan to avoid giving you a very serious problem at some point… is there anything that would stop me getting there? I’m not really very clear on politics here.”

“Where’s Ruusan?” Luke asked, tearing his eyes away from the holocron.

“Teraab sector, mid-rim,” Kyle replied. “P-11 on the grid square map.”

“That should be fine,” Ben said. “The First Order isn’t anywhere near there.”

Kyle frowned. “What’s the First Order?”

Ben did his best to explain.

By the end of the explanation, Kyle looked like he was planning on using the starship he planned to borrow to fly into First Order space and look for a fight.

Ben had the oddest feeling that Kyle might well win.

“Did you learn anything from it, yet?” Ben asked, some hours later, after Kyle had left in a borrowed shuttle. “I’ve never actually seen a modern Holocron.”

“Neither have I,” Luke replied, looking up from his study of the little cube. “And, for some reason, this one keeps interfacing with me using a face I’ve never seen before. But I have the strangest feeling she knows me.”

He sighed. “And… I don’t know what I’ve been doing wrong, not yet, but I’m now quite sure I’ve been doing something wrong. I’ve been too afraid of getting things wrong, to do them right.”

After a moment, Luke caught Ben’s eye.

“Ben, I want to tell you something,” he said. “It’s a secret that your parents asked me to keep, and I agreed, because… when I learned it, I was about the same age you are now. And I didn’t take it well.”

“You… didn’t take it well?” Ben repeated, trying to reconcile that with his uncle the Jedi Master.

“Well, I did try to jump into a gas giant not long afterwards,” Luke said. “So I’d say I didn’t take it especially well, yes… but you have to learn some time. I can’t shield you from the painful truth forever.”

He sighed. “So… I’m going to tell you about my father, your grandfather. About who he was, and who he became, and who he still was, deep inside, all but suffocated under the lies of an evil man who wanted to use him as a weapon. I’m going to tell you the full story of Anakin Skywalker.”

(Legends New Jedi Order:

Foundation of the Praexum 11 ABY

Relative peace 11-25 ABY, with several major crises they had to deal with (which caused casualties)

By 25 ABY, there were at least 100 Jedi, with several of the students now Masters in their own right and actively training new Padawans.

The resultant force was very robust, managing to handle serious casualties (they got cut in half in the Vong war of 25-29 ABY, but rebounded to over 200 by 35 ABY) and had mastered rapid recovery - by 44 ABY they are up to over a thousand, despite another war in the interim.

Disney Canon New Jedi Order:

Foundation of the Academy around 10-11 ABY

Almost total peace 11-28 ABY

Then Ben Solo turns to evil and destroys the whole thing in one go, leaving about three survivors who hadn't been present at the time.)

chapter 3

madison's pov:

i spent most of the week doing press and attending meetings about tour but today was the day my tour tickets went on sale. it was 9:15am and me and abi were getting on the tube to the boy's flat, even though abi had been there for the past few days anyways. i hadn't seen the boys since last week as i had been busy with work, so i was excited to see them all again.

we walk up to their building and chris had given abigail a spare key yesterday, so we could just let ourselves up. "good morning" arthur hugs us on arrival. "are the other 2 still asleep?" i ask. "i think i heard movement from george's room but i could be wrong" arthur shrugs. we pull up my laptop and i call olivia. she gives us the login for ticketmaster analytics and we can see there's currently 200k people in the queue for the london dates. "jesus christ, how many tickets even are there for london?" i ask olivia. "60k across all 3 dates, so some people will be disappointed" she says and i suddenly feel scared, i don't want to let people down but i also did not expect 200k people to be waiting. we hear a door open and in walks george. "oh good morning" i say, smiling. "too early for this" he says, still half asleep. he walks over and hugs me tightly and gives abi a side hug. "jesus, 200k people in the queue" he leans over and reads my screen. "i know, i'm scared" i say and george walks on the other side of the island to make breakfast. "why?" he laughs. "scared of being too popular" he continues, mocking me. "no but like people will be disappointed" i explain. "like i always say, snooze you lose" george shrugs and i turn my attention back to the screen and there's now a 1 minute countdown. "fuck fuck fuck" i pace around the spot i'm standing in. "30 seconds!" arthur yells and abigail squeals too.

it's finally on sale time and we can see a progress bar of the % of all tickets that have been sold. "what the fuck it's at 30% already" i say, in shock. george leans over and tries to see the screen. "65!" abi shouts and i dramatically fall to the floor, screaming. "80!" olivia says over the phone. "what the fuck, this is not real" i say. "CONGRATS MADISON SCOTT, YOU'RE GOING ON A SOLD OUT ARENA TOUR!" olivia yells on the phone and i see george pull something out from his side. "congrats madison and arthur!" he says and lets off a giant party popper, gaining screams of fear and shock from me. i laugh but i'm still in shock. "WE'RE GOING ON A SOLD OUT TOUR!" i say, grabbing arthur's arm, jumping up and down. "sold out in under 3 minutes, well done"! olivia says, still on the phone. i turn to abigail and she pulls me into a tight hug "i'm so proud of you, what the fuck" and i begin to tear up. this has been my dream for as long as i can remember and the fact it's coming true in a way like this is crazy. george walks round the island and pulls me into a hug also. "well done, i knew you'd do it" he says into my ear as he hugs me. "thank you" i pout when he pulls away. we hear a door open and turn to face the corridor, it's chris. "what the fuck is going on?" he walks out his door, only just woken up by our screaming. "WE'RE GOING ON A SOLD OUT TOUR CHRIS!" i yell to him and it jolts him awake. "oh wow, congrats guys!" he turns to me and arthur. my phone starts ringing and it's andrew. "GIRL, IT'S SOLD OUT! WE COULDN'T EVEN GET TICKETS" andrew almost yells down the phone. "i'm so pissed, i was on there at 9:58" i hear max say in the back. "you do realise i can just give you guys tickets?" i say, laughing. "okay good because max is close to tears" andrew laughs. "pussy!" george says in the back. "shut up george" i laugh. "oh, you're with george?" andrew says in a suggestive tone. "and abi, arthur and chris. calm down" i say. "okay, well we're going to the gym so i'll let you guys go" andrew says. "wait did i hear that correctly? max is going to the gym?" george says, in joke shock. "ha ha, yes i am. fitness legend is returning" max says and we say goodbye and hang up the phone.

"i can't believe the tour starts next month, i need to start packing!" arthur says. "i know, that's kinda my fault i took too long to plan it" i say. "we should go out for dinner to celebrate" chris says from the corner with abi in his lap. "i'm literally flying to new york tonight" i say sadly. "sorry? america?" george says, shocked. "yeah, got to do promo and perform on jimmy fallon. pretty cool but like i also hate flying" i shrug. "what the hell! that's so cool" arthur says. "thankssss. speaking of, i need to go home and pack. abi are you coming or staying here?" she decides to stay with chris, so i head home myself. "if you wait, i'm going gym i'll walk to the tube with you? let me just get changed" george proposes and i decide it's an alright plan so i agree.

george appears after about 5 minutes, in his gym gear and i catch myself staring. i look down, "ready?" he says, smiling and i smile back before snapping out of my daze and standing up. we make it outside and walk to the tube station. "what time's your flight?" george asks. "8pm, but i get scared i'm going to mess something up so i'll probably leave at like 4?" i almost question. these are normally the things my mum plans, i'm still not used to doing it myself. "yeah, check when you're check in opens is the best bet. are you flying alone?" he asks. "yeah unfortunately, my manager is already out there. it's gonna be so boring" i sigh. "well, do i have a cure for you. i happen to know of this fantastic podcast that already has hours of content published" he smirked. "does it happen to be called 'the rubbish hotline'? i joke back. "nope, that's max's spin off" "right, okay maybe i'll check it out" i smirk. "well, if you get wifi i'm doing nothing all evening. i can tell you some jokes, keep you entertained" george shrugs. "hmm, i think i'll pass" i joke. "wow, that's rude" george says pretending to be offended. "what gym do you go to?" i ask george. "pure gym waterloo" "that's literally right next to my flat... and i still don't go" i laugh. "it's a good gym to be honest, we should go sometime" he says. "i will keep that in mind, i probably should do some cardio for tour" "there's plenty of ways to get cardio in" george says in his funny voice. "hmm really? like what" i smirk. "you know, shagg- no i'm joking" we both burst into laughter. "smooth" i nod. we finally make it on the tube and i guess we're getting off at the same stop. "what are your plans when you get back?" george asks as we sit down. "pack, have a mental breakdown, pack some more and then stress that i've forgotten something" i shrug. "you should be fine. as long as your have clothes and your passport. you'll be good to go" he shrugs like it's nothing. "not true. i need skincare and i need to pack for the climate, is it gonna be hot or cold? will there be any formal dinners? will i need a swimming costume? will i need any accessories? lots to think about" i say, realising i'm talking really fast. "sorry, internal thoughts" i laugh nervously. "it's fine. how big is your suitcase? pack one outfit for every feasible scenario?" he says and he's probably right but i'll still stress about it, how is he so chill about everything?

we get off the tube and walk to our destinations. the gym was actually just past my flat, so george walked with me to my apartment. "have a safe trip, i'll see you when you're back probably" george says. "yeah definitely. i'm sure you'll have abi to keep you entertained" i laugh. "she'll be moving in soon!" george jokes. "tell me about it, and they've only known each other about 2 weeks" i say. "well, have a good workout" i add. "thanks, sure i will" george says and leans in for a hug and of course i reciprocate before he walks away and i catch myself watching the distance between us grow and him disappearing, before snapping out of it and going into my building.

george's pov:

i walk past madison's apartment and make a mental note of the surroundings. this sounds weird, but i have something in mind for later. i make it to the gym and i have a good workout, i decide to put madi's new album on as i still hadn't heard the full thing besides the popular ones that are on every radio station you put on. the songs get me through my workout and i thankfully brought spare clothes, so i decide to get a quick shower in the gymp and head out to plan my surprise for madison.

madison's pov:

it had been about an hour since i left george and came home. i had made some progress, i had counted out my underwear and chosen a few of the outfits i want to take. suddenly my phone starts ringing, it's george. i was slightly confused but i answer "hello, um i'm outside can you let me in?" he asks and i say yes and he hangs up and i'm very confused as to what's going on. i walk downstairs and george is stood there, waiting for me. "hey, are you okay?" i ask him, still confused. "yeah, i just wanted to drop these to you" he passes me a bag and i open it up. inside is my favourite sandwich and drink from joe and the juice and some primark packing cubes. i look up at him in shock, "george what the hell? you didn't have to do this!" i say, pulling him into a hug. "it's no bother, i knew you were stressed about packing and i thought they'd be useful and i also thought you'd probably be too busy to make lunch, so i asked abi what one you liked" he says and my heart is swelling, i notice he also has a bag of food for himself. "do you want to come up and eat it?" i ask. "i don't mind, i didn't want to make you feel like i had to come in if you're still packing" he says, panicking slightly. "just come upstairs clarkey" i laugh and he follows.

we sit down at the kitchen table and unbox the food george had kindly bought. "excuse the state of the place, abigail was stressed trying to find a specific outfit the other day and caused a hurricane in the living room" i roll my eyes. "it's fine, you've seen the state of our place" he laughs and i agree. "have you packed much?" george asks, taking a sip of his drink. "some, i made a start" i laugh. "well, better than zero" george shrugs. "exactly what i say"

we talk for the next hour and george seems genuinely interested and asks me about the trip and what i'm doing and i ask him for tips for the best way to get to gatwick airport. i don't think even he really knows the best way, but he is keen to help which makes me smile. "just remember any specific clothes, medication and passport as they're pretty much the only things you can't buy out there" he says. "that is a very good point" i nod.

after another 30 minutes, george decides to head back home. "thank you so much for doing this, you really didn't have to" i say, still in shock at what he'd done. "i promise it's fine, i was going past anyways and thought it'd help you out" in all honesty, i now have a lot less time and am gonna have to rush to pack the rest of my case but i really didn't mind. we hug again but this time it feels more intimate i don't know why, i didn't want to let go but i do and he walks off.

i end up packing the rest of my case and the packing cubes are very useful, thanks george. i call an uber to the tube station and i follow the route george helped me plan and thankfully make it to the airport with plenty of time.

i make it through security and have an hour until boarding so i browse through the shops. the flight was long but i manage to download a few episodes of the useless hotline to watch.

"most likely to get cheated on" their producer calls out. "well this is hard because i'm in a healthy relationship but george has never had a girlfriend" max laughs. "i don't see what's so funny" george says back, smirking. "do you not think it's like so sad you've never been in love" max says. "i mean it will happen one day, i'm not in a rush" george shrugs.

i realise he was not joking about the never having a girlfriend thing, but how? he's one of the nicest guys i've ever met or from what i've seen so far. and not to mention he's not exactly ugly... i end up watching all 5 of the episodes i downloaded just in case there's any more embarrassing george stories i am unaware of. and then i sleep for the remaining few hours. i am woken up by the flight announcement that we were landing, thank god. i wake myself up and prepare for landing.

my manager, olivia tells me that she's waiting for me by the exit. i begin to find the exit and am bombarded with paparazzi. for a moment, i forget that i am actually kind of well known. however, in that moment i had no security and felt slightly vulnerable as i was not expecting this. "madison, over here" "madison, who's your new album about?" i shield my face and grip my suitcase tight. thankfully at the end of the road i see my manager through the window of a taxi, i run towards the door and she opens it and the driver takes my bag and i'm finally away from all the cameras. "oh my god" i say slightly out of breath. "quite the welcome" olivia laughs. "i was not expecting that, at all" i also laugh. "yeah, we're working on security as we speak. you're a lot bigger out here than you realise. we also need to get working on US tour dates" olivia says, straight into manager mode and i just nod.

The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire - Introduction Analysis

"...People so often misunderstand the purpose of historians. They think that we are just here to recount past events. To provide details without analysis. Facts without insight. Data without argument. This is wrong. The role of a historian—my role as a historian—is to try to tell you not just how but why these things happened. To try to make you understand the importance of these past events and what they mean for us today and tomorrow. This study is not just a work of history but of necessity. The galaxy needs to understand exactly what the Galactic Empire was and how it brought us to our latest brush with disaster. I can think of no more important undertaking than this one and no more required moment." (Kin, Beaumont, "Introduction", The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, 35 ABY, page xvii).

The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire is one of the best Star Wars novels I've read. The novel is an in-universe annotated history book written by Beaumont Kin ("Secrets only the Sith knew"), a historian with an interest in the lore of the Jedi and Sith, who reflects on the terrifying origins, reign, and legacy of the Galactic Empire. We also get a brief glimpse of what the post-TROS galaxy looks like but that isn’t the main point.

It is a part of several in-universe reference books being published post-TROS, which is a nice touch.

This study was published on the Holonet a few months post-TROS as Kin is excavating the Sith Temple on Exegol.

Introduction

History is a cycle, we wish to avoid it but it always finds a way to start the wheel again. The cycle certainly reflects the history of Star Wars.

Kin sadly laments that despite the Empire's evils being known and seemingly easy to understand, it seems easy to teach future generations and prevent the cycle from repeating itself, he considers himself a fool for being naive. As history has shown us and Kin, it has a tendency to repeat itself in various forms.

"It seemed to be an easy message to explain something that was now safely behind us. My colleagues and I congratulated ourselves on the ways we'd been able to take the realities of the Empire and convert them into lessons in schools and universities, which would then further ripple across the galaxy. We were so sure that we had created the perfect way of preventing future conflicts and a return to Imperialism. We were fools. I was a fool. As much as we might have wished that the remnants of the Empire could have been left to rot beneath the sands of Jakku, it seems that we could not be free of it so easily." (Kin, Beaumont, "Introduction", The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, 35 ABY, page ix).

One element that is simply merch in real life but in-universe is the source of shock to Kin: Palpatine busts being sold at the Black Spire Outpost, among other Imperial objects. How could the galaxy reach the point that a being who murdered trillions of beings has busts being sold?

Despite the Resistance's and the galaxy's victory at Exegol, Kin can't help but wonder if the celebrations on Endor and Ajan Kloss are very similar. Both generations have celebrated the defeat of the Emperor, won their wars, and are driven to create a better galaxy, in the case of the last generation, including the current one who followed to preserve the hard-won peace, they were not successful.

However, this failure to maintain peace has very understandable origins. The leaders and soldiers of the Rebel Alliance wanted to look towards the sunrise of the New Republic after a brutal and horrifying war against the Galactic Empire. They focused on their desire to move forward with hope and optimism and for this to never happen again, they were not careful in taking the necessary steps to prevent Imperialism from rising. A failure to understand how the Empire operated, ruled over, and why its personnel committed so horrific war crimes over and over. It would be a nice thought to think with the Emperor dead, so would his Empire die with him. And in a way it did, but gave birth to a new form of Empire as the First Order. While the First Order likes to fashion itself differently from the Empire with a new name and outfits, their origins intrinsically tie back to the Empire which the New Republic and the new generation failed to see. They cannot risk another situation like this happening again.

Stories like The Mandalorian and its spin-offs, Bloodlines, Before the Awakening, Resistance, and the Poe Dameron comic show us how the New Republic fails to recognize the threat of the Imperial Remnants and the First Order, even when they're violating New Republic treaties. Complacency and appeasement became the new policy for the New Republic. They think the threat of the Empire is long behind them, and whoever is left is just simply ill-equipped warlords. They fail to understand why Neo-Imperialism grew as it did and why people want the return of a regime that killed so many sentient beings. It was left to those in the New Republic who saw the emerging threat, the Resistance, and those affected by these Remnants and the FO to act.

While discussing the Jedi and the Sith, Kin acknowledges how, despite his attempts to understand it, he still doesn't know everything about the Force, along with the galaxy not being clear on what the Forse is and if it exists. He then talks about how Palpatine managed to seize control of the entire galaxy as a Sith Lord, Kin made it clear Palpatine's desire for power and control was all him and not by anything else. Palpatine was a man. It is the most terrifying aspect of this Sith Lord. Much more terrifying is how Palpatine wasn't the Empire, he may be the linchpin of the Empire but there were plenty of people who believed in his Empire and maintained it.

There are four parts to the Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire:

Part 1: Rise and Consolidation - Palpatine's rise to power and how the Empire consolidated itself.

Part 2: Expansion and Oppression - The methods of the Empire's dominance across the entire galaxy, the Imperial hierarchy, and the many horrific things (such as prejudice and genocide) the Empire did with that domination.

Part 3: The Galactic Civil War - The war and why the Empire collapsed.

Part 4: Fall and Continuation - The last year of the GCW and, with it, the fall of the Empire. But alas, the Empire continues to survive in its remnants and the rise of its most infamous of these remnants, the First Order. There are also the NR's successes and failures.

Kin went for the BBY/ABY (Before/After the Battle of Yavin) calendar system because the Empire's modus operandi significantly shifted after the destruction of the first Death Star with clear distinctions between pre- and post-Battle of Yavin. He also acknowledges how there are some debates over which dating system is the best among them being set after the Empire formed and the "before" and "after" periods at Endor rather than Yavin. In this, he also points out how the Empire was never at peace, and that the GCW greatly showcased and increased its brutality towards its own people.

While this work isn't the first one to study and analyze the Empire, it is perhaps the most relevant to discuss right now. There are beliefs and understandings of the Empire that are built on flawed information and shaky foundations. Some of what they understand is possibly wrong. Therefore, they must reexamine the Empire again and understand and therefore deconstruct the Empire beyond Palpatine.

"Furthermore, the very reasons for its eventual fall and collapse do not appear to have been adequately researched and analyzed at all. We know why the Rebel Alliance believed they won the war. Do we know why the Empire lost it? Because the Galactic Empire was so misunderstood, it is necessary to begin the process again. That is the point of this study. To deconstruct the entirety of the Galactic Empire beyond just notions of Palpatine himself. To see how it actually worked, the ideas and ideology that drove it, the ways it waged war, and the motivations behind its most awful crimes." (Kin, Beaumont, "Introduction", The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, 35 ABY, pages xv-xvi).

Of course, researching the Empire is not easy. The history of the Empire is spread out across the entire galaxy. With the fall of the NR, there is now access to classified material such as interrogations of Imperial officers. It would've been impossible for Kin to find and compile this while excavating on Exegol. We see the galaxy coming together as researchers and other academics from across the galaxy pitch in to provide sources and information for Kin to scour through. Kin thanks all of them for realizing the importance of this analysis and is sure to acknowledge their work throughout his study. There is also lost information. After all, the Empire loves to burn and destroy the various records of their crimes and how they operate. Other sources are just lost during the fighting. With the excavation of Exegol and access to FO ships, new sources of information have allowed Kin to cross-reference and provide new understandings of the Empire.

He does acknowledge and welcomes the risk of his work becoming outdated and replaced with new studies containing new, undiscovered, and decrypted information. New studies can further elaborate on their understandings and help prevent the rise of Imperialism once again if they can at least find one new area they missed or have the chance to further understand. He points historians aren't just about telling the how but the why things in history occur. The galaxy needs examinations of the Galactic Empire and the history of its reign which allows them to better understand how they narrowly avoided the First Order's brief reign and Final Order's apocalyptic plot.

There is a nice nod to the Battle that Changed the Galaxy and Skywalker: A Family at War reference books as Kin notes how other historians like him are also noticing the need to reexamine history after Exegol, with the latter getting its author namedropped with a Star Wars-like name (the author was Kristin Baver, but in the Star Wars universe, her name is Kitrin Braves). Kin thanks Kitrin for sharing her information on the Skywalker family for him to talk about in Rise and Fall and notes it's been a long time coming for people to know the history of the Skywalkers in Kitrin's book.

The Empire's war crimes and cruelty are beyond horrifying and applied to anyone they come across, their cruelty is not equally felt. The Core Worlds often did not suffer as much as those outside of the Core. While some humans, such as the Alderaanians, have indeed lost everything to the Empire, the Empire's inherent prejudice is frequently focused on non-humans (a term admittedly imperfect and problematic in its own ways but much better one in-universe than the term "alien" which the Empire uses to showcase their racism towards non-humans). The Empire has made no attempt to hide their discontent and hatred for non-humans. Kin acknowledges he is a human, and he never felt the experience of the Empire's prejudice by the Empire just for being not human. He has tried his best to highlight those species and voices who have been silenced and suffered under the Empire's prejudice and genocides. He understands and apologizes for the criticisms that might come with any shortcomings that he and his studies may provide. Recognizing and analyzing both the sources and himself within this study are necessary parts of this analysis.

As the introduction concludes, we must ponder how despite the victories throughout the saga, we take a look at the horrifying and monstrous regime that is the Empire and its legacy. Our reality is filled with people who continue to follow Fascism and other far right-wing beliefs despite its clear evils, a look into the Galactic Empire is insight to why.

"The survivors of the Battle of Crait have become fond of saying, in moments of sorrow and loss, that ‘no one's ever really gone.’ It seems to bring them solace and I respect that. But I do not feel it. I have immersed myself in the existing records and writings and sources that relate to the Galactic Empire. And all I feel is the absence of lives that it brought. The multitudes who suffered and died. The further into this dark history I have gone the more horrified and haunted I have become. That is why this study now exists and why it is so important that you read it. Others in the Resistance will now lead and shape the galaxy. I cannot do that. I can only try and explain where we have come from. Why we have ended up here. But I need you to come with me. I cannot do this alone." (Kin, Beaumont, "Introduction", The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, 35 ABY, page xix).

Help me name this little peanut

Wonderful artwork made possible by @lasat-picrew!

This dear little one is one of my OCs and the biological child of Garazeb Orrelios and Alexsandr Kallus.

He can be sensitive and shy, but he's a hell-raiser once you get to know him. He thinks his cousin Jacen is just the coolest and loves to do all the crazy Jedi acrobatics even though he's not the least bit Force-sensitive. His older (adopted) sister Klavdia can be a little overprotective, which sometimes causes friction, but overall they are very close.

Current name ideas are Gavril, Timur, and Osvald. Last name Orrelios. Thoughts? They're all names from the same-ish geographic region as Alexsandr, but they seem to fit well enough with lasat pronunciation/spelling.

I'm estimating he was born somewhere between 10 and 13 ABY. Sometimes I want to make him a blond, sometimes not. (Can you tell I have problems deciding things about my OCs?)

A snippet of him as a newborn:

“He’s perfect,” Zeb breathed.

“He is,” Alexsandr agreed, perched on the side of the hospital bed with one arm wrapped around his husband’s shoulders and the other following the cradle of Zeb’s arms where their son lay.

Sleepy little eyes looked up at them, Lasat and sclera-less but honey-brown in color. The baby wrinkled his nose with just a little bit of extra cartilage at the end, making the constellation of tiny purple dots over his nose fur jump around. Zeb smoothed out the nose with one gentle finger.

“He’s got yer dots,” he said with a dopey grin.

“And your ears,” said Alexsandr as he felt them twitch against his hand.

“10 perfect fingers and 8 perfect toes,” said Zeb, stroking said fingers gently where they latched onto one of his.

okayokay,

emma and nick wake up in the woods the morning after turning and sort out what happened the night before, specifically what happened at the campfire

(preferably abi is still alive)

🐼Admittedly, I snagged this one to practice writing Nick's POV, but I'm also so emo for Furblygbank already so we're kind of killing two birds with one stone. Thanks for the ask, anon :)

“Nick?”

The rising sun’s golden hue was almost blinding to Nick’s bleary eyes. He’d just woken up in the middle of the woods in his underwear and needed a second to regain his grip on reality. The last thing he remembered was…red. Like, an entire red room. Before that, he was in the poolhouse, and Abi —

Did he kill Abi?

“Hello? Anyone in there?”

Nick blinked and squinted at the person pestering him. Emma was leaning over him with her hand outstretched, and she was soaked with blood. He refused her hand and scrambled to his feet, attempting to string his words together into a poor facsimile of a sentence. “What…where did…why are you bloody?”

Emma looked him up and down. “I could ask you the same question. Let me guess; you were also attacked by a big scary animal with glowing eyes and massive claws?”

“Yeah…right after you pashed me in front of Abi at the campfire and left to go have fun with Jacob.” Nick didn’t mean to sound bitter, especially since it seemed as though Emma had had an equally shitty night, but he’d admit that he was a bit…jealous. Of what? He didn’t know.

“Oh, come on.” Emma rolled her eyes. “Don’t act like you weren’t at least a little bit into it.”

Were they really doing this? Right now, when he was wrestling with the notion that he very well could have murdered his crush when he was — he didn’t know what had happened to him — transformed? Nick lowered his gaze toward the dew-laden grass embracing his bare feet. He would have thought it beautiful or poetic or something if he wasn’t currently having a mental breakdown. “Emma, I—I think I may have killed Abi.”

She stared at him with a tired expression. “Nick…” her voice trailed off. “...we should go try to find the others. I was with Jacob, but he—he turned into one of those things.” Great. It was spreading. “Do you have any idea where we are?”

Nick assessed their surroundings; they were near where he and Abi had collected sticks and watched the sunset not even a day ago. He could pinpoint the lodge from here. “Um…I think the lodge is this way. Yeah, definitely this way.” Nodding toward their destination, he began to tentatively walk in that direction.

Emma followed. “Hey, for the record, I think Abi might be okay.”

“What?”

“I was sitting in the van trying to hide from these old guys with guns, and then I think I turned into one of whatever these things are, and I saw Abi. She was running away from me.” Emma winced. “And I think Dylan shot me.”

“Dylan? Are you sure it wasn’t a hallucination?” Nick couldn’t believe he was amused by that thought. Perhaps this god-awful night wasn’t as bad for the other counselors as it had been for him.

“You know, Nick, I’m not really sure any of what’s happened tonight was real, including this conversation, so no, I’m not,” Emma sighed. The exhaustion was setting in for both of them. Nick wondered what the chances were that they could take a quick power nap back at the lodge. Probably slim.

They trekked together in silence until Nick couldn’t take it. “Are we bad people?”

Emma shot him an offended glance. “I don’t think kissing someone on a dare makes you a bad person.”

Nick knew it wasn’t that black and white. That kiss was not just a kiss. “No, but choosing to kiss someone you know your best friend likes, and who also likes them back, and bragging about it afterward might.”

“It got you two to go and have a nice, romantic kiss in the moonlight, didn’t it?” Emma replied dismissively.

“N—no. No, Emma. We were attacked. I got bitten by that animal and then I told Abi I only liked her because she was stupid and easy to manipulate. She was nothing but kind to me and I—” Nick inhaled sharply. His eyes stung at the sudden recollection of those last moments. “Easy pickings. Right off the bone,” he’d growled before tossing her across the poolhouse. Who says that? Who does that?

“Hey, come back to me. I’m…I’m sorry.” Emma’s voice was soft. She placed a hand on his arm. “You’re right; kissing you was a dick move. You two were just so scared to make the first move that I thought I could fix it with a little drama. I’d say it backfired pretty spectacularly.”

Nick said nothing. At this rate, he’d be a sobbing mess by the time they reached the lodge.

Emma continued. “I don’t know what happened between you two, but I do know that Abi’s got a big heart and she likes you a lot. She won’t hold a grudge against you for something out of your control. Me, on the other hand…I’m not so sure after all of this. I think I’ve burned that bridge.”

I think we both have, Nick thought as the lodge came into view. Maybe it would have been better for him to have killed Abi. He wasn’t prepared to face her yet. He probably would never be.

Right as they reached the bottom steps, the front door opened. Abi stood in the doorway, blood and sweat matting her already dark red hair and the remnants of a nasty bite still visible on her shoulder. “Oh my god.” She rushed down the stairs toward them.

“Abi…” Nick started, but the air was knocked out of him before he could pull an apology out of his arse. She wrapped him in a tight embrace.

“You’re okay. I thought I’d killed you,” her voice buzzed in his chest.

Nick had no idea how to respond to that. Wasn’t he supposed to be the rabid monster who was killing people? “L—likewise.”

Abi lifted her head and looked at Emma. “You too. Come here.” She reached out her arm and pulled Emma close.

“Abs, we’re not exactly clean right now,” Emma said in a nervous huff of laughter. “You don’t have to—”

“Oh, shut it. I’ll take bloody friends over werewolves any day.”

Werewolves? Was that what he was? Fucking hell.

The three of them held onto each other in silence. They’d survived the night. Maybe there was still hope for their fractured bond to do the same.

Brainrot about the tiny details with me, Hacketteers.

Things I’m currently puzzling over:

How many kids go to this camp?

There are 10 cabins and we only see inside one, with Abi, if she and Emma break in to get their bags. It looks like there are four double bunks in there so each cabin would only sleep eight, subtract one for the supervising counselor and you get up to 70 campers.

But they act like they can all leave in one school bus. The maximum capacity of a school bus is 72 but that’s three small children (2nd grade or younger) to a seat, and I don’t think the kids are THAT young, given Abi’s comment about them having filthy minds.

Also, even if Laura and Max made it to camp, there would still only be 9 counselors for 10 cabins. When I went to summer camp, we definitely had one counselor supervising overnight per cabin. Do we think one cabin wasn’t used? That would be seem wasteful given that the camp is hurting for money.

Maybe they gave Nurse Kelly a cabin—it would make sense for her to stay onsite in case she was needed in the night, especially since it seems to be in a pretty remote location.

Where do they all shower and go to the bathroom?

There are showers and bathrooms in the pool house, and one bathroom in the public portion of the lodge, plus the “rustic” outhouses Emma shows us on the Island (no way those empty into the lake, btw. They almost certainly have like a septic tank type thing buried under them). That doesn’t seem like enough for that many people! My summer camp growing up had a whole building for bathrooms and showers but that is conspicuously absent unless it’s somehow in the same building as the Camp Store, which seems inconvenient.

Where is the Art Cabin?

Abi says the art cabin is out of the way when Nick talks about the kids paying attention to her painting lessons, but there are no cabins away from the main ones on the map, that I’ve noticed. Is one of the sleeping cabins actually used for art? Why doesn’t she just use the classroom in the lodge that we see strewn with craft paper?

Is there no adult staff at this camp other than Mr. H and Nurse Kelly?

Not asking for more characters in this already large cast, god knows, but it seems like there should be some kind of custodian/groundskeeper and kitchen staff, at least. Even if Mr. H does all the groundskeeping, there’s no way Nick can cook for all those people single-handedly and still have time to stalk his crush during her art lessons. But if there are actual adults on the cooking staff, why would they make an 18-20 year old guy their supervisor? Do you think the other counselors have to take turns cooking with him?

Who sleeps in the bunks in the lodge?

When Kaitlyn and Dylan are hiding from Caleb, they enter a room with bunk beds in the lodge. What’s that for? Just overflow? Seems like a good place for the additional staff that we never hear about to sleep. I imagine the counselors all sleeping there during their training/orientation before the kids arrive, though that’s never actually confirmed to happen in the game.

What do y’all think? What are your lingering questions about the locations or how the camp is run?

#the quarry #Hackett’s quarry summer camp #if there’s one thing I’ll miss it’s those loose lumpy springs #brainrot with me #this is definitely not about all the pre-canon flashbacks I’m writing #jk it totally is

A Wild Hunt - Masterlist - I - II - III - IV

She should know where she is. But she doesn’t.

And it’s quite normal, she thinks, for the Winter is always changing, never being quite the same each time she steps past its borders. The magic in its soil is made to confuse outsiders, trap them within its jaws to whisk them away into its depths, their souls ready to feed whatever beings that ends up finding them.

After realizing this, anyone would be terrified.

But she is not.

In the eyes of all who know of her, she is the worst nightmare of those who dare disrupting the balance of the environment they decide to settle in. She’s been relieving this cold territory of the nuisances haunting it for as long as she can remember, and it always let her keep her freedom in exchange of each successful hunt. She has no reason to fear the Frost.

And yet, the creatures roaming the frozen grounds are a threat she can’t afford to ignore, and nothing will go out of its way to protect her. Her eyes are sharp as they scan the surrounding trees, silently daring any hidden predators to get a taste of the iron adorning her clothes. She can feel them watching her from behind the naked trunks, their magic hungrily licking at her feet, only to be burned by the ashen wards engraved into her skin.

The spell she cast a few moments earlier pulls at her fingertips, slowly guiding her towards her target. The sickening darkness licking at her own magic is familiar, yet she can’t seem to properly concentrate on it ; an unsettling feeling is tingling her spine, getting more insistent with every step, and that’s how she knows a powerful threat has focused its eyes on her, following her every move. It takes her a moment to realize that her surroundings have been filled with a peculiar fog, one born from a rare, powerful kind of magic.

The air gets colder as she treads further into the Frost. The woods are getting darker now, and, for some reason, it feels like she’s actually never been here before. The environment has barely changed, yet every single detail seems new, devoid of the usual familiarity that never ceases to follow her during each and every hunt. The mist grows thicker with each step, her wards trembling as they work against the magic dancing within its swirls. She somehow can’t seem to find its source, her senses fighting to keep their focus on her current task. She can’t allow herself to be distracted ; not with the obvious danger grappling at her guiding spell - and the one gliding against her reddening cheeks.

She doesn’t really know how long she’s been walking ; a terrible thing to forget in such a dangerous place. But, despite the growing confusion threatening to swallow her mind, her perseverance leads her to a frozen river. There, the guiding spells shatters, revealing the eerie presence of her prey.

On top of the cracking ice, standing on broken limbs, a deer focuses its gaze on her steady form. Its body, covered in wounds oozing with thick, oily blood, trembles slightly as the cold pierces its corrupted flesh, tainting the snow-covered ice at its feet. A white, glassy eye hangs from the abyss of its socket, tugging at the nerves as the creature’s nearly severed head jerks slightly. Munching on its own fallen antlers, it breathes in her scent, shuddering at the idea of making her its next meal.

The unsettling sight doesn’t faze her. After all, the Stolen all have a very similar aura.

Within the next second, the twisted silhouette launches itself at her, a rough, otherworldly screech tearing through its rotten lungs. The Hunter swiftly dodges to the side, the miasma coming from the deer licking at her skin. Thousands of screams of despair fill her mind, coming from the raging souls trapped in the creature’s essence ; but she pays them no mind as razor-sharp teeth try to dig through her flesh. Despite its broken limbs and stumbling form, the creature looms over her, oily blood dripping from its dangling head and onto her clothes. If it weren’t for her wards burning the evil emanating from the corrupted substance, her skin would have been eaten away by its acidic magic.

A tremor in the beast’s body gives her the moment she needs to pull out the dagger hiding in her boot. The iron blade slashes through blistering skin, filling the air with a putrid and overwhelming smell. The souls in the deer’s body let out a series of deafening screams that have the earth quaking under her feet, disrupting her balance. The massive head suddenly comes colliding with her shoulder, and the Hunter can’t restrain the cry that leaves her lips as she goes rolling on the ground. She’s quick to get back on her feet, but not without cursing the freezing water breaking the warmth of her clothes.

She glances at her opponent, only to see it struggle to stay stable on its own feet. The Stolen’s decaying corpse is reaching its limit, and it will soon be forced to go look for another puppet to control.

It’s now or never.

Her dagger sings as it tears through the thickening fog, severing the last tendrils holding the beast’s head. She is quick to draw a sealing rune into the snow as the body collapses next to her, its wails soon fading to nothing. The writing serves as a mold to bind the remnants of the corrupted magic, the natural power of the Frost wasting no time in hardening it just enough for the young woman to place it into a special sealed container ; her priority is now to bring it to one of her acquaintances, who will use her expertise to cleanse it thoroughly. Offering one last thought to the stolen soul that finally got the rest it deserved, she turns around, ready to find her way back to a safer territory.

However, a foreign feeling in the back of her mind forces her body to abruptly come to a halt, her eyes locking on a shadowy figure leaning against a nearby tree. The silhouette of a man watches her, silent and unmoving. The Hunter lets one of her hands hover above the throwing knives hanging at her waist, the tension in her arm almost making her fingers twitch. The aura he exudes is the same as the mist surrounding her, she realises, and it doesn’t take long for her to understand that he used it to conceal his presence.

He has been following her since the very beginning of this hunt.

Gritting her teeth, she keeps her gaze sharp as the man slowly pushes himself from the tree. The fog seems to synchronize with his movements, and she wonders if he is not just an illusion made to divert her attention from a real predator. But as his skull-masked face becomes clearer the closer he gets and her body refuses to obey her own will to take a step back, something tells her that he is the real danger ; a threat far greater than the one she just dealt with.

Her memory is filled with the intimidating beings she once crossed paths with ; yet, somehow, none of them seems to compare with the man now towering over her.

There’s a pause before his gloved hand rises to cup her chin, only to be viciously burned by the power of the wards running along her skin. Despite the obvious sizzling of his skin under the fraying fabric, the fae doesn’t let out a single noise, his ice-blue eyes calmly gauging her through the bone covering his face.

He leans in, his covered nose grazing her neck just enough to avoid triggering her protections, and inhales deeply. She tries to hide the pain shooting up her arm as she manages to point a knife to his throat, her mind fighting relentlessly against the numbing in her limbs. The fog is now dense enough to isolate them from the rest of the world, the fae’s presence slowly, but surely filling her senses. Her wards struggle against his magic, sending a terrifying chill down her spine. She can feel an overwhelming warmth and hunger radiating off of him.

She has to get out of here before her protections shatter.

But she barely has the time to prepare herself to dig her knife into his shoulder that the man takes a few steps back, his eyes still locked on her smaller form. The mist rolling off of him loses its intensity as he then turns his back to her, retreating deeper into the frozen land, his steps slow and confident. Just before disappearing into the darkness of the trees, he glances back to give her a single, unsettling wave ; and she swears she can see his eyes glow in the shadows.

It’s only when her mind clears that she finally releases a breath she didn’t know she was holding. Around her, the forest is dark ; filled with an eerie silence. The cold seeps through her clothes, shutting down the many questions dancing in her head. She makes sure all her weapons are back in their place before darting off towards the end of Winter, shoving her own vulnerability back down her throat to avoid attracting any other threat. When she finally steps into the warmth of the human world, her mind keeps replaying everything she just went through.

One last line of ash fades from her skin. The fae’s magic clings to her like tree sap on wandering hands.

She needs to be cleansed. Now.

Zom’s ososan headcanons! :3

Just kinda stream of consciousness style, any may be subject to change, feel free to talk to me about your own hcs! :3c

This is a repost of my twt thread, I’ll list what I have down already, any new hcs or changes to previous ones I’ll just put in reblogs

These are all my personal headcanons! I kin ichimatsu so many of hcs for him are based off myself! This is just for fun but if you don’t agree with or like them that’s perfectly fine! Feel free to block or ignore me!

———

First things first I hc all 6 of the matsus as autistic and trans in some kind of way!

I think oso, kara, choro, ichi, and jyushi are all transmasc and todo is transfem! Transfem choro is also cute tho

Either way tho, none of them are neurotypical or cis!

Oso: He/Him trans man. Is currently on T. Prefers a binder over transtape cuz it’s less work but only wears it like half the time cuz he’ll often forget to put it on when getting dressed and it’s too much work to take his shirt off, put on his binder n put his shirt back on lol also he’s bi with a preference for women!

Kara: He/They trans man. Pansexual. Currently on T. Has gotten top surgery! Wants to get cool tattoos over his scars but is a wuss lol he also still gets a lil nervous bout shot day after all this time but puts on a brave face

Choro: He/She transmasc bigender. Omnisexual. Low dose T. Doesn’t bind all the time but prefers transtape over a binder when she does cuz it’s not as hot since he’s often wearing an undershirt anyway

Ichi: He/Him transmasc agender. Gay oriented aroace. Has gotten top surgery! Was on T for a good while but stopped for various reasons. Also prob has some kinda cat themed neopronouns just for funsies haha

Jyushi: He/Him trans man. Is on T. Who needs to bind or get top surgery when you can just hella work out? lol I don’t think he cares about labels but he’s def some kind of multisexual, maybe bi? Maybe pan?

Todo: She/Her and Fae/Faer trans woman. Is on estrogen. Bi with a preference for women

_______

Eyesight from worst to best!

Choro: very nearsighted! usually wears contacts nowadays but will occasionally wear his square/rectangle glasses to give her eyes a break. Still has his old round glasses from hs as back up tho

Kara: his vision isn’t as bad as choromatsus but it’s still not great! Farsighted. He refuses to wear normal glasses cuz he thinks it’ll make him look lame so his sunglasses are prescription instead, nobody knows that tho! Also has some form of strabismus, one of his eyes tend to move slightly inward.

Oso and Ichi: they’re both nearsighted and are at about the same level of vision. Neither of them are nearly as bad as choro and kara tho! Still, they would probably both benefit from glasses but choose to just live their lives a bit blurry lol Also ichi has visual snow! And while ichi is aware his vision isn’t the best, oso is oblivious and thinks it’s completely normal

Jyushi: also has strabismus! His is more noticeable and tends to move outward! but aside from that his vision is actually relatively good!

Todo: is the only one with 20/20 vision lol I feel like she would sometimes wear glasses just for fashion and choro hates it haha

———

Ichi has chronic fatigue, chronic pain, and pnes! (Psychogenic Non Epileptic Seizures)

I’m not sure if I want him to have exactly what I have in regards to his chronic pain condition, which for me is fibromyalgia, but I’ll prob end up going in that direction anyway since I project onto him so much anyway ya know?

His conditions affect p much his whole life as is the thing with being disabled haha but in particular it affects his sleep. He’s usually a p light sleeper and has a hard time falling and staying asleep unless he’s feeling completely exhausted from either his pain, or the aftermath of a seizure or whatever else, in which case he’ll knock the fuck out, and will sometimes sleep for so long and deeply he’ll scare his family into thinking his dead haha

His condition also often affects his ability to walk, so when he’s struggling he will use a cane

Unlike me tho, he doesn’t need it like all day everyday, only sometimes

Choro also uses a cane sometimes! He has a bad knee and poor balance which causes her to trip and fall a lot! His cane is his same color of green and while he does prefer the clean and sleek look, she does have a couple of little idol charms on the handle!

Ichi’s cane is either black or purple and is covered in various cat themed stickers with a couple lil things attached to the handle that he will use to play with neighborhood kitties!

Oso and jyushi will sometimes steal choro and ichis canes when not in use and sword fight with them lol

I can imagine when either ichi or choro first got their canes, oso in particular would playfully tease them and would use their cane to pretend to be an old man. The other matsus would also join in on the heckling such as todo calling either choro or ichi old men haha

Kinda going back,, when ichi had his first seizure, the others definitely freaked the fuck out. I imagine some of them prob would still panic when it happens at times but not as much. When it happens while they’re all trying to sleep, Kara will quietly help ichi n look over him till it stops, making sure he’s on his side n all that. I also imagine Kara would the most consistently remind ichi to breathe during a seizure and since ichi doesn’t like to make a big deal out of his seizures, Kara wouldn’t mention it to the others unless ichi brought it up first. (Ichi is thankful but doesn’t really verbally thank him often). Same goes for most of the other matsus if they’re alone with ichi during a seizure except for maybe jyushi who would blurt it out and sometimes oso unless explicitly told not to mention it. And prob right after the first seizure, todo researched what to do during a seizure and taught the others what to do so everyone was better prepared for next time.

Going back to ichis chronic fatigue/ poor sleep,

He either sleeps like 2 hours or 15, no in between lol

Oso doesn’t have chronic fatigue but he is really bad at maintaining a consistent sleep schedule so he and ichi (and sometimes the others) will often hang out and go on late night adventures, resulting in them both sleeping in way too late n getting scolded by either choro or matsuyo

———

More general sleep based stuff:

Ichi is a side sleeper n likes to be super curled up, he is shrimply kitty, he cannot change this. Kara is a back sleeper mostly, cant stand being too warm and prefers cooler or thinner blankets. Todo flip flops between back and side, is a pretty quiet, peaceful sleeper. Oso is kinda all over the place, flip flops between back, side, and belly a lot and likes to either be spread out or cuddling smth. Choro also flip flops between back and side, doesn’t take up a lot of space. Jyushi is a back sleeper and always very spread out

I can see them all snoring at least a lil bit except for maybe choro. I think it’d be cute if todo had like a baby snore and ichi had that classic cat snore. I can def see oso being loud tho

Poor choro being sandwiched between the two that take up the most space, move the most, and prob the loudest lol

———

Jyushi is usually very intense when he stims, lots of physical/moving stims! Definitely hand flapping, rocking, sometimes spinning, etc. I think he does his bat swinging, and mimicking of baseball terms n such as special interest centric stims. Plus his “HUSTLE HUSTLE MUSCLE MUSCLE!”

I think he also really likes deep pressure! Likes to be wrapped up n buried with blankets, and clothes n such (+ the warmth is nice since he doesn’t have great temperature regulation)

He would love a weighted blanket haha, and I think, while he’s not really a huge hugger most the time, he would sometimes ask for tight hugs from his family, or just have them like lean or straight up just lay on top of him haha

Also likes to chew! Seeing as how he’s often chewing on his brothers heads lol he would prefer a really hard/tough toy to chew on. Any thing softer, he chews straight through em

Kara loves anything shiny/sparkly and colorful! He also likes the texture sparkly things/ things with sequins often have,

I also think he would like space and ocean themed things cuz blue and pretty haha

I think he would have jewelry he would play with like rings or necklaces, such as running his fingers along his necklace chains or maybe a spinner ring or something small with intricate details/ rougher textures he could stim with

I imagine something metal/ silver maybe in the shape of a skull! Not sure what tho.. maybe a keychain? A necklace? Just something he keeps in his pocket?

Choro loves like cool lights/glowy stuff esp if it’s related to his special interest(s) ie idols! I think she also really likes clicky noises like a keyboard or switches! I think he would def carry around at least one fidget to help with anxiety but I feel like she would maybe be torn between his toys being colorful/related to her interests or being like subtle and “adult” looking ya know? I also think he’d get kinda self conscious about doing raptor arms or just feel like “what do I do with my hands” n developed a habit of putting her hands on his hips instead haha, I also think choro has a picking habit and uses picky pads to try to avoid picking at his skin and while it’s not as bad, Kara also still feels the urge to pick sometimes from when he had bad acne so choro turned him on to picky pads n she will use the beads to make kandi! But also sometimes she’ll get so caught up in just wanting to pick out and organize all the beads, hell get too focused on a pad and won’t have one for when she actually has the urge to skin pick. Also choro would love a busy board with all the flashing lights n clicky switches haha

Todo is a big visual stimmer! A bit too self conscious most the time to more openly stim in front of most ppl so she watches a lot of like stim boards and “satisfying” videos on her phone and maybe like very specific asmr videos. Her physical stims are a bit more “subtle” like very light rocking, kicking her feet, tapping her foot, using her face roller, playing with her hair, etc. I think she also chews but she doesn’t think it’s cute enough so she tries not to do it and will kinda gently chew on the inside of her lip or tongue or use gum or smth. Definitely prefers much softer chews than jyushi! Also think she likes to do the pop sound with her mouth sometimes

Ichi loves soft fuzzy textures and likes to pet and rub them whether it’s a cat or an inanimate object! He also really likes somewhat squishy things, think like paw pads, that he can squish in his hands! If it’s something bigger like a soft blanket or pillow or smth he likes to kinda knead it. He also likes pain seeking stims esp when hes having sh thoughts and will use things that are sharp and pokey but can’t do any actual harm like acupuncture rings or smth n he will keep like a mini squishy or acupuncture ring in his hoodie pocket to mess with. He also likes bubble wrap n pop fidgets! He likes the sound and the feel of em. I also think he has a bit of a picking issue too and will steal Kara’s like half done picky pads and then leave the beads for choro in places he knows he will find them like a cat leaving “presents” haha, sometimes choro will literally wake up with a lil baggie of beads on her and he’s very confused by it, she has no idea where these lil baggies keep coming from lol. I also think ichi uses his finger as like a worry stone of sorts and will rub his thumb on the side of his finger between the knuckles sometimes just cuz, sometimes to calm himself! Also purring! He likes to purr! He’s so kitty brained haha

Also also he likes to mess with lil bits a trash like paper clips, straw wrappers, bread ties, etc. with like straw wrappers he’ll turn them into like lil stick figures n stuff

Oso doesn’t really notice for himself when he stims! At least when it comes to his physical stims. His lil nose rub thing for example! N Unless hes like actively doing something, if he’s still for like 5 seconds, he’ll just start swaying or rocking back n forth whether he’s sitting or standing. He also likes to be upside down sometimes, just doing that weird upside down sit he does n will like sit on the couch upside down. Also he finds anything that goes really fast or spinny or like colorful flashing lights really captivating, reminds him of pachinko n the races haha

I think when has the urge to like fidget he will steal his siblings stuff instead of just getting his own. I can see todo or somebody buying one of those pop it games n oso stealing it n playing it way more than whoever bought it in the first place haha ichi would also use it sometimes but would prefer the sound effects off

Also I think oso is a big vocal stimmer! Lots of weird lil noises, mimicking of words/phrases, humming, etc. when somebody points it out or asks him to stop he likes to fuck with them n act dumb like “huh? What? What noise? I didn’t say anything. Are you hearing things? ……………… *does it again*” lol I also think when todo does her lil pop sound oso will do it back and things like that will sometimes spread to the others and even matsuyo and matsuzo occasionally n then they’re all just mimicking the same thing, flock of seagulls from Nemo typa behavior lol. Oso also sometimes mimics peoples hand gestures n body posture while they’re talking, sometimes on purpose, sometimes he doesn’t even realize till they point it out, either way it annoys the fuck outta ppl n he finds that funny haha. Oh I forgot but oso also has an oral fixation but uses food instead of toys or gum, bro is snackin all the time haha

———

Couple quick lil ichi hcs: ichi wasn’t really a fan of bugs for a long time (didn’t hate them but was still grossed out by them) but then he started noticing how cute and cat like some can be and now he’s a big bug lover! Moths and spiders are his favs! Cuz “fluffy” and cute mostly lol and when I say spiders I’m mostly thinking jumping spiders but I think he’d also like bigger and “scarier” spiders too) also also! 2nd quick ichi hc! He’s very light on his feet and will often scare ppl (usually by accident) by just kinda appearing by them and his family gets mad at him for “sneaking up on them” and will yell at him to wear a bell in like a half joking way but then eventually ichi does start actually wearing a lil bell (maybe a bracelet?) either of his own volition or bc his siblings made him lol Either way, it doesn’t bother him much to wear it cuz it makes him more kitty like and if he wants to be quiet he could just take it off lol
