You have nothing to apologize for, and anyone who's (civilly) concerned about and discussing the possibility of bots has nothing to apologize for either. The Kylux/Hux/Kylo fandoms have weathered a lot of nonsense over the years, (I've been a Kylux fan for a very long time, I've seen some BS) so it's wise to worry about the poor behavior of a few reflecting badly on everyone.

(Side-note: if I were using bots Anakin and Thrawn would be the finalists. So that proves my innocence ;) )

However, if someone has decided to be silly enough to resort to bots for my ridiculous little polls, that's nobody's fault but their own. I don't want any Kyluxers or Hux fans to feel responsible.

I can see both sides of the argument. Like I said, I personally fall on the 'not bots' side. I think we're underestimating how beloved Hux is. But that's just my opinion and I'd obviously change my mind if I saw evidence to the contrary- and as I said, I wouldn't be mad, I'd be disappointed. Followers. I love you all. But please don't take the polls so seriously.

Whether or not botting is going on, I will fight to the death to defend the lovely, hilarious, and creative people making propaganda for their baes. Thank-you for sticking up for my edit-making followers!

Ever since I started doing these polls, I was aware that drama could kick off at any second. It's Star Wars, we're all mad here. I don't feel like I'm 'dealing' with anything, I was always aware I might need to speak out about some nonsense eventually.

I'd like to second your statement about harassment and add my own: if anyone on any side of this debate is sending hate and harassment to other people: Fuck. You. This is a silly little poll made about fictional characters.

Thank-you for being so civil and thoughtful, @kyluxtrashpit!

-Jesse xx

Hiya! I hope you're doing well. I made the Hottest Star Wars Man Poll, so when your posts about it were brought to my attention, I felt I should probably reach out.

The polls are just for fun. I make them with no agenda, and I run them with no agenda. I've received messages talking about bots before, but I never wanted to get into the weeds about it.

However, as the discussion about bots is bigger than I realized, I guess now is as good a time as any to speak about it:

My opinion is that the spikes in Hux votes are a mere side-effect of the poll being passed around the internet and bringing in new voters in droves. As your Anon mentioned, @tomatette's edits might's also pulled in waves of people who voted for Hux out of fidelity to her.

I'm fine with the campaigning. As long as the vote is ultimately achieved by a human clicking on the vote themselves, it's alright by me. Hell, I always reblog 'propaganda' I particularly like, and I even requested some Anakin propaganda when he was in his elimination round. It's all fun and games to me.

However.

If anyone is using bots, I'm asking nicely for them to please stop. I'm going to pull the 'I'm not mad, I'm disappointed' card on anyone botting. The polls are all strictly unserious things, so I hope that nobody is taking them too seriously.

Hi there! Sorry the nonsense has reached you, honestly lmao. I just wanted to make a post cause I was upset about the possibility (and, as I've said, I don't have rock solid proof, just suspicions based on observations by myself and others, so like. If people don't agree with me, that's fine, it's all good - I just wanted to speak out in case it was happening like, as a kyluxer, I don't want people to think that if someone is botting, that's something we as a fandom are chill with). I honestly didn't expect it to get quite this much attention either but here we are. I also want to make it clear to both you and my followers that I don't put any blame of anything on you - you're just making fun polls and that's it, you're not responsible for what people do or what drama may arise

I do agree it's possible someone just got a bunch of people to vote within a small window of time, like anything is possible, always is. I just feel like some of the increases I saw, observations from others, and things I've heard are enough to warrant suspicion. If people do or do not agree that there's a reason to think it happened, that's their choice and I'm not going to insist that my word is law and they have to believe me. I don't have receipts, I was just expressing myself and I do appreciate amicable discussion even if my mind has not been changed as of yet

But yeah I agree, propaganda and making funny edits and posts - that's not at all what I was referring to in terms of 'cheating', but somewhere it seems that got mentioned in the discussion? (3 separate people have brought this up to me lmao, like thinking I'm accusing them but I am NOT and no one better be out there accusing them either without actual evidence beyond 'oh you posted about it' cause that's a shitty thing to do) and I also want to make it clear I am not against propaganda fun. That's all just part of it. If people are mad about that, that's their problem and they should use blacklist more liberally. And if people are saying I'm saying that, then those people are either lying or are at 'how dare you say we should piss on the poor' levels of reading comprehension lmao

But yeah, I'll post this publicly, but let me know if you want it taken down and I'll delete it - I appreciate you reaching out and I'm sorry you had to deal with this, that was definitely not my intent when I made the post. I just wanted the botting, if it is indeed happening (and if it's not, all the better, I am just not yet convinced it didn't happen), to stop

And lastly, because of some of the DMs I've received: if you, the person reading this (not you the asker), are sending hate or harassment to people based on my post, FUCKING STOP IT RIGHT THE FUCK NOW, you're no better than the bad actors I was initially referring to

[realasunicorns]

honesty hour? smth like that

warning: read at your own risk of not being able to look at me the same way ever again after these astonishing revelantions

[ context! for some reason my hormones seem to be taking over and i just happen to have started reading outbound flight by timothy zahn ]

tbh my brain won't stop spinning at the fact that twenty-something-years-old obi-wan kenobi is in this book... holy fuck (quite literally)

*while on a pause to eat creppes at 3am:*

every time i UNEXPECTEDLY get the calvin klein ad on ig stories i have a heart attack is shawn mendes even legal the answer is no he's too hot bye

like i'm watching the 36836373th digital art story on a row and suddenly

and it keeps happening over and over again and i be just here like

it's a bit of a shocking image, you know? i'm here all focused on the art and then BOOM!!!

not that he isn't art, don't get me wrong, i just--well, you know what i meant.

i just made a twitter thread with all this

did the ad deserve an exclusive thread of my reaction every time i see it the only possible answer is yes

ok i'm back at reading now and i swear i found gffa!me, watch this

SPOILERS AHEAD THO, WATCH OUT

so this Maris is a nice girl/woman/female/idk, kind of an idealist too they say, but actually works for some smuggler who's a total jerk hm

apparently she tells herself it's the right thing, don't ask, and somehow she believes that, oh bb

oh and she's also in a pretty shitty (probably even toxic) relationship with that same smuggler... awful taste in men? can relate, sis

he, Qennto, totally doesn't care about her apart from, well, the usual shit, u know, he's kinda using her and u know, ew ew EWWWW

.........and then they meet thrawn.

"You're going in personally?" Maris asked, frowning.

"I command these warriors," Thrawn said, climbing into the vac suit with sure, practiced movements. "Part of my duty is to share their danger."

Maris glared at Qennto. "Be careful," she said, sounding almost embarrassed.

Thrawn gave her a small smile. "Don't worry," he said.

Slapping the final seal closed, he pulled a helmet and large handgun from the locker. "The vessel is almost likely severly undercrewed, amd Chiss warriors are the best there are. I'll return soon."

she might be kinda crushing on the polite honorable blue alien with growing eyes who's teaching her languages

yup, definitely gffa!me

but now seriously how old is thrawn in outbound flight and most importantly is he single i need answers

honesty hour? more like honesty night lol

aaaaanyway, i hope you had some fun with/at my AMs craziness and that you're not too affected to keep reading my posts after this

if you are i'm not even sorry i'm unapologetically myself i love you all bye

ps: yes i am 28yo no i am not drunk 🦄 this is just me sometimes

ps2: those creppes were super healthy eh! my IBS wouldn't leave me otherwise lol only made of chickpea flour and toppings were melted cocoa (yep, i'm one of those lucky ppl), peanut butter and raisins

[bb-8]

Idk why I find this so funny, but I'm desperate for Thrawn to give off drinking-vodka-coke-out-of-a-bb8-novelty-cup energy

[jadesabre83]

3, OMG 3. I didn’t know you were actively working on it!

3. Clone!Thrawn/Jaina started all thanks to the lovely @lypiphaera posting her headcanons about Clone!Thrawn, and how he would have spent some time with the New Republic. And from there it just took off to “OMG, could you imagine Thrawn being stared down by the Solo kids?” and evolved several steps further.

The basics of this WIP is that it’s set during the Dark Nest crisis. Jag has been shot down by Leia and is presumed dead or missing. Jaina gets captured and turned over to the Empire of the Hand (hahahaha, didn’t expect them, did you?!) by the Fels as a means of making amends/making up for the financial losses of Lowie’s actions (and Jag’s disappearance). 

Jaina is then held as a sort of political prisoner by Thrawn and crew. And because they’ve heard all about her actions with the Killiks, there’s a steady supply of ysalamiri! Yay! 

I haven’t gotten much of this written yet, but here’s an excerpt:

“You know I’m the best pilot here. So. Strap a damn yslamir in the cockpit with me. Order them to open fire on me if I deviate from the course. Just let me help. I’m no use to anyone just sitting around here.” There’s an edge to her voice that’s just bordering on desperation; Thrawn doesn’t react to this, and if it were anyone but Thrawn she would be apt to think that it went unnoticed. 

But this is Thrawn. The man doesn’t miss a damn thing; he probably knows what she ate for lunch (not enough) and how much sleep she got last night (barely any). So his utter lack of a reaction is almost worse than an actual reaction and not for the first time (or the last) since waking up on this sithforsaken rock she finds herself longing for access to her abilities. 

Not being able to use the Force leaves her in a constant state of feeling helpless and out of control, and while the thought of being able to control Thrawn on any level is somewhat laughable (maybe, just maybe she could take him in a sparring session) it would at least allow her to determine determine that within the heated glare he’s fixing her with there’s a surprising amount of desire. 

And she definitely doesn’t get any sort of warning flicker across her senses as one moment she’s ready to spit out some biting insult in Cheunh, and the next he’s got her slammed against the wall, his hands pinning her wrists above her head.

Force or not, her first instinct is to fight back. She pulls her arms down, trying to wrench her wrists free, but he only tightens his grip in response to the point that she lets out a quiet gasp of pain. That’s when he seizes the moment and crashes his lips against hers in a searing kiss.

Kissing. Thrawn.

She wants to think that this is weird; she’s known him since she was six. He was a close friend of the family, and a babysitter on more than one occasion.

This should be weird.

Then again, she’s also the one who let Kyp Durron finger her (and then some) too many times to count during her brief apprenticeship, and she had known him since she was two.

But the main difference here, the one that should (and does) scare her is that with Kyp she was his equal; if he did something she didn’t like she could fling him against the far wall without even breaking a sweat. She can’t do that with Thrawn, not as long as those vaping ysalmari were always around. And what’s scarier than that, than knowing that she’s not even remotely in control here, is the fact that she’s actually a little (a lot) turned on.

When she tries to knee him in the groin he shoves his thigh in between her legs. It’s effective enough to get her to stop her physical attacks, but when he increases the pressure in a very deliberate manner, the true purpose of the shift in position becomes clear.

And stars, if she isn’t wet already. 

[stuckimaginationuniverse]

Oomphf, Thrawn keeping those competent around him so he doesnt have to worry about them when shitt hits the fan. And I'm pretty sure he loosely said to keep your friends close and enemies closer. Ehay. I like to think that Thrawn knows the Rebels are capable of taking down, or at least disrupt the Empire, if the had better access to supplies, people and organization.

so like.. I’m sure the original intention behind giving Thrawn red eyes was to make him look scary? But nope, here I am, staring into those red eyes, thinking only of how beautiful they are… Somebody somewhere messed up something… Cause that’s probably not how I’m supposed to feel..

[thrawnisbae]

It’s totally cracking me up the way the tumblr Thrawn fandom has just collectively fallen in love with Admiral Ar’alani inside of a day ever since Thrawn #6 came out. xD

hi bestie bae! what helps you figure out how to write a character’s voice? like how they portray themselves, their motivations, how they’d act in a given situation, etc? i feel like i struggle in that regard!

Rambly thoughts below:

That's hard; I feel like it's something I never quite get down correctly either, but here goes. I try to remember the main qualities of the character - ie, thrawn is calm, intelligent, petty, sometimes bitchy/sarcastic in a way that you can't tell if he's being a shit or not, complimentary when he sees progress, patient when he's teaching. He knows what he wants and is willing to take the time to get it, but sometimes uncertain with interpersonal relationships, and carries a lot of trauma.

Eli is temperamental, intelligent, self depreciating, hard working, endures hardship, grudgingly accepts the shit life deals him, capable of far more than he realizes, undergoes a lot of personal growth, loyal, has a sense of justice, emotional, gets the job done, etc.

So once I know what kind of story I'm working with, I look at those qualities and decide how they would be likely to manifest in the situation I've put them in. Eli varies the most, depending on where in the timeline he goes - a younger Eli is going to be more brash, quick to anger, and quick to rely on others than an older one who has grown more secure and confident in himself. A younger Thrawn is more reserved, might make more mistakes/step on toes, less traumatized, displays more chiss aspects than human ones, etc.

Depending on how AU Im going, I push certain aspects and pull back on others, which can wildly change the character, but they should have enough of their core personality in place that they can be identified as themselves still.

If that makes sense? Hope that helps, at least.

not me sitting around trying to figure out exactly what the population of the chimaera currently is, squinting at screencaps to try and count the number of stormtroopers visible (at least 500-ish). how many people are up in the bridge? how many others are still there? there's almost 40 000 people on a star destroyer in normal conditions.

If you don’t have a crush on Thrawn. Your probably lying to yourself.

Thrawn gingerly places his index thing under his object of desire’s chin, and instead of “kiss me,” he whispers:

“Chiss me.”
