Alphabet Squadron

Wyl Lark, Nath Tensent, Kairos, Caern Adan, I-TO, Yrica Quell, and Chass na Chadic

I was inspired to update these figs when Lego released the bright green mohawk piece, which is perfect for Chass

Okay. who in Alphabet Squadron gets the most

Yrica Quell: Does okay I think. She's mentioned having at least one long-term girlfriend and boyfriend, and "sharing a bunk" with a couple squadmates in Shadow Wing. She mostly has sex when she's in a bad mood

Wyl Lark: Has only had sex once, but he gets propositioned a lot. He's totally the kind of guy to only fuck when he has an intense emotional connection with the person. He's also way younger than almost anyone else in the battle group

Nath Tensent: Drowning in it. Coming in from all sides. Everyone loves a bear. He's the kind of guy you have sex with as a friend and it doesn't make things weird

Kairos: Does not fuck. Has no interest in doing so

Chass na Chadic: I think everyone assumes Chass has tons of sex because she's hot, but she has a lot of trauma that prevents her from being intimate with people, even casually. She's had sex maybe 6-7 times and hated it every time

Caern Adan: Gets zero dick. Gets negative dick. Has a force field that actively repels dick. Even IT-O won't fuck him

For my 501st follower celebration, as requested here by @auroramagpie: a snippet of the Squadron Dad Au!

“Drop and give me twenty!”

Chass let out a long, theatrical groan as she dropped to the ground and started doing push ups next to Wyl, who was already doing his. “I think I hate this guy,” she mumbled.

“He’s… an acquired taste,” Wyl offered.

“That’s how you say you hate someone on Polyneus, right?” Nath said from next to them. The man was breathing hard, but still wore an easy grin.

Before Wyl could answer, their drill sergeant spoke up. It was tough for a grown man to look menacing while wrangling a five year old, but Kanan Jarrus managed to at least look stern. “Tensent, you seem like you’re enjoying yourself. This getting too easy for you?”

“Not at all, sir,” Nath called back.

“What about you, Chadic? You ready to take a break?”

Scowling at him, Chass said, “You know what you can do with your break? You can take it and—”

“Mr. Jarrus.” The clear, familiar voice of General Syndulla cut through whatever Chass had been about to say. Striding into the room where they were training, the general clasped her hands behind her back, surveying them with a thoughtful expression as she took it all in— Chass, Wyl, Nath, and Quell all doing push ups, while Jarrus watched, holding his kid’s backpack leash in one hand as Jacen explored the confines of the room.

“General Hera,” Kanan said, the corner of his mouth tipping up into a smile. Chass still wasn’t sure how this guy, of all people, got away with using the general’s first name. But then, there was a lot about him that she neither knew nor cared to know. Because she hated his guts.

“I take it things are going well?” General Syndulla said.

“More or less. With a little more training and discipline, I might even be able to whip them into shape. You’re welcome to stay and watch, if you want.”

“Tempting though that offer may be,” the general said, “I have other projects to work on. I just wanted to make sure things were running smoothly.”

“Absolutely, general. Drop by anytime,” he continued, and Chass could swear there was something almost flirtatious in his tone. I’m definitely imagining it, she told herself.

“After all, I’m always happy to have you around,” he added.

Oh yeah I’m not imagining that. Was their drill sergeant flirting with the general? Chass exchanged a glance with Wyl, who was grimacing. He’s lost his mind.

General Syndulla’s eyebrow went up. But all she said was, “As I said, I’m busy. But the offer is appreciated. Keep up the good work.”

Turning on her heel, she headed out of the room, and if he hadn’t been blind, Chass would swear that Kanan watched her go.

As they finished their push ups, Wyl hopped to his feet and went over to Kanan. “Uh, sir? About General Syndulla…”

“What about her?” Kanan said, frowning at him.

“Well, it’s just— I thought you should know. We’re pretty sure she’s married.”

To Chass’s surprise, Kanan found this so uproariously funny that he forgot to make them do their next set of drills, and sent them off to their ship maintenance time while he was still chuckling.

thinking about how Wyl Lark would totally leave the Senate when Leia was pushed out and would come out of military retirement to help with the Resistance

Star Wars Pilots Tournament - Round 1B

Who's the better pilot?

Propaganda:

Shara Bey:

She is Poe’s mom and is the one that taught him everything he knows. She was a brilliant rebel pilot of an A-Wing and fought in several key battles, such as Endor, Naboo and Jakku

*marge simpson voice* i just think she's neat. WAIT SHE WAS A PODRACER. I THINK???? MAYBE???? idk if she was thats so fire (im not a shara expert) but she kept flying and being in the rebellion despite having an infant son (dedication we respect it), at one point she camped out on an active star destroyer after a mission gone wrong, just hiding for days and days. Also also she flies an A-wing so like... we appreciate that a wings are underrated

Wyl Lark:

Wyl Lark is an A-Wing pilot who grew up flying giant creatures on his home world of Polyneus, which gives him innate flying abilities (and a tendency to talk to his ship) and he is one of the best pilots the Rebellion in canon who head instrumental in helping to defeat Shadow Wing. He’s also canonically MLM and is just a massive cinnamon roll

Queer Star Wars Characters (Round 1): General Bracket Match 29

Wyl Lark | Identity: mlm | Media: Alphabet Squadron Trilogy

Wyl Lark was one of the members of the titular Alphabet Squadron, its A-Wing pilot. He was born on the isolated world of Polyneus, where he learned how to ride the flying sur-avka. He was one of the Hundred and Twenty best flyers his planet pledged to the Alliance. He fought in the Galactic Civil War, including at the Battle of Endor. After the Battle, his squadron was chased by the elite TIE fighter Shadow Wing through the Ordiol Cluster, where he was the only surviving member of his squadron. He, and Chass na Chadic, the other survivor, were recruited by Caern Aden to be part of his working group against Shadow Wing, which would become Alphabet Squadron.

After Yrica Quell was revealed to have lied about her role in Operation Cinder and the devastation of the New Republic’s forces, Wyl Lark found himself leading the surviving New Republic forces on Triothe in General Syndulla’s absence. Unsure of himself, he ended up growing into the role and under Syndulla’s new commission of the Deliverance he found himself promoted to Wing Commander. He commanded the ship’s starfighters as they continued to hunt Shadow Wing. The deaths on both sides of the war continued to weigh on him.

Wyl was extremely empathetic, something the war didn’t kill in him. During the chase through the Ordiol Cluster, he made contact with a Shadow Wing pilot just to see how they were handling it. He continued to feel guilty about all the killing he had to do and wondered how his counterparts in Shadow Wing were living their life. During a stand-off he broadcasted to Shadow Wing just to talk to the pilots about themselves. Eventually many of the pilots under his command joined in. He tried the same thing during the Battle of Jakku, encouraging Shadow Wing to walk away. Unable to force himself to fight, he recused himself from the battle and instead helped with evacuating the Deliverance when it was destroyed. 

After the war he represented Polyneus in the New Republic Senate. One of his works was the Reconciliation Project, where survivors and perpetrators of Operation Cinder and other Imperial atrocities could share messages. The trilogy contains references to a handful of relationships he or crushes he had on men, none of which ever worked out.

Ty Yorrick | Identity: bisexual | Media: The High Republic Phase I

Ty Yorrick was once a padawan of the Jedi Order, but left after her friend was possessed by a Dark Side artifact and she was forced to kill him. Over the course of the next decade, she became a monster hunter known as the “Saber for Hire”. Her worked with two droids, the dog-like astromech R0-VR and the fussy admin droid KL-03. She kept a level of distance from both droids, seeing them as tools and like her ship, not deigning to name them. Her relationship with KL-03 was constantly strained, with KL-03 always worrying about the state of their financials and chiding Ty whenever her altruistic instincts hurt their bottom line. Before the events of the Republic Fair on Valo, she used items known as verazeen stones to make decisions like whether to accept a job for her. On one job, she was tailed by a young Segredo named Drewen who appointed himself her apprentice, creating the eager youngster and jaded unwilling mentor buddy dynamic for the events of the Monster of Temple Peak comic miniseries. After the job, they separated, but the frame narrative of The Nameless Terror depicts him finding Ty and inserting himself back into her life.

She was present for the attack on the Republic Fair, having been brought to Valo on a bodyguard job. During that job, she flirted with her employer’s daughter, but knew she couldn’t actually pursue the relationship despite wanting to because of the woman’s position (being bisexual comes from authorial clarification). During the attack on the Fair, she fought alongside the Jedi Elazar Mann, using the Force to control and fight upon the back of a pair of draconic sanvals. Afterwards, since she was already involved, she joined the Jedi in their attack on the Nihil stronghold of Grizal.

I'm thoroughly glad that someone finally explored the question of what the mood was for Rebels watching Luke respectfully conduct a funeral for Darth Vader. Also the Alphabet Squadron books are really good so here's my excuse to shill them

[corelliaxdreaming]

Oh my god, I can’t believe it took me *googles* exactly two years to come up with this, but: Tycho as one of Wyl’s pilots at Jakku ripping him several new orifices afterward about how a commander doesn’t abandon his squadron on the eve of battle and how pacifism is a really shitty philosophy when it gets people killed who you could have saved.

[jewishcissiekj]

Wyl Lark is written so twink-ily in the Alphabet Squadron books that I want to laugh when I remember he canonically looks like this

you know what the real kicker is? these are only some of the characters i know and recognize. there are over 200 entries for queer characters on wookieepedia, and i just scrolled through the list and picked my favorites.

and these aren't just one-off, blink and you'll miss it characters. they have presence. they matter. their stories are central to the world in which they exist.

this isn't even including a bunch of the legends characters (except for juhani, who i have to include always because i love her and i am biased, but also she and the rest of the kotor gang are kind of in a ??? state regarding canon status). these are almost all characters who have come into being since 2012.

star wars has not had the best track record with representation, and it's not god's gift to the world. but you cannot say they have no queer representation. you cannot say they only ever bury their gays. there are so many people fighting to tell these stories with characters that reflect who we really are - people. messy, beautiful, luminous, queer people.

"star wars is so bad at queer rep" they just canonized lesbian fpreg (the f stands for force)

[libidomechanica]
