AWW WAFEL YOURE TOO KIND

Soooo… I kind of have been commissioning @wafel1160 almost non-stop since my first commission. If you’ve been wondering why they randomly disappeared for a while, I might be somewhat responsible 😅 I’ll be posting all the art they made over the next few days.

Wafel has been so incredibly patient with me I cannot thank them enough. Seriously, consider getting some art from them, they’re very talented! Also, it would be nice to not be the only person on their Ko-fi recent donation list, lol.

This was my commission! Very thankful for Wafel and how they put up with my overly specific requests. This pic is done for a Star Wars: Old Republic AU that I’m writing (character info and lore dump below)

This AU explores an alternate scenario of what happened in the centuries after the fall of the Reconstituted Sith Empire (This particular story takes place a few hundred years after the Empire’s dissolution.) (also the AU is kinda furry oriented: I know, I know, shame me)

These pics are showing two important characters, Levka (first pic, Unknown Big Cat Hybrid) and Marya (second pic, Canadian Lynx), who were both Jedi Padawans on the rebuilt Dantooine Jedi Enclave.

Levka and Marya were both taken by the Jedi Order as infants, and became friends when they were both still Jedi Younglings. Eventually, they were both put under the tutelage of the same Jedi Master, becoming Padawans. The two were practically inseparable, getting along well despite the many differences between them. Marya was a model student, both talented in the Force and very attuned to Jedi philosophy. Her close adherence to Jedi protocol endeared her to the Jedi Council, and even though her introverted personality kept her from being too outgoing, she still was admired by her fellow Padawans for both her skill and pleasant disposition.

Levka was a different story. While she showed great aptitude in the Force and in lightsaber training, she was not nearly as obedient or as devoted to the Jedi Order’s ideals as Marya was. She was unenthusiastic about listening to her Master and even less willing to endure reprimands and lectures, having the nerve to talk back to her instructors on numerous occasions. The council was unsure of what to make of her. Her history of personal conflict with other Padawans was worrying; her occasional impassioned outbursts were even more so. But despite these flaws, Levka was still a talented student, and eventually managed to minimize her infractions of the rules, though this was mostly because she got better at hiding them.

Regardless of the contrast between them, Marya and Levka were as close as friends could be. Whether they were reading from holobooks in the library or taking a walk through the forests next to the Jedi Enclave, they were almost always seen together. This relationship was slightly controversial among Dantooine’s Jedi Council however, as some hardliners voiced concerns that this could be defined as an emotional attachment. Any relationship, even a particularly close friendship, had the potential to lead to attachment, therefore causing imbalance within a Jedi. This would be unacceptable; a Jedi should have no attachments, being concerned only with serving the Will of the Force. But this was dismissed, as the majority felt that the bond between the two Padawans didn’t have any noticeable impact.

But as the girls grew older and approached young adulthood, their relationship started to change. The two began to draw closer, with Levka being the first to realize her feelings for Marya had taken on a new tone. As both Padwans came to terms with their relationship and the attachment they had to one another, they slowly began to draw away from the ways of the Jedi Order and seek a different path. If attachment would interfere with Jedi techniques, they needed to find a new way to channel the Force.

They got their wish when they discovered a strange holocron hidden in the forest next to the Enclave. The holocron provided them with a wealth of knowledge, and showed them teachings that seemed to contradict those of the Jedi. It showed how one could use their passion as a source of power, that emotions and attachments could strengthen their connection to the Force. Though they were cautious about trusting this unfamiliar artifact, they eventually resolved to study it and verify its claims, to see if these new teachings would truly help them. Together, they pledged themselves to learning the secrets of the holocron.

Somewhere, their new master sensed this and smiled. The Padawans had found his gift.

Soon, they would no longer be Padawans; they would be his apprentices.

Soon, they would grow stronger than any Jedi.

Soon, the Jedi Order would burn.

TL;DR: Who would win, almost two decades of Jedi training or the urge to kiss your best friend

Wowee first commission!!! I absolutely love how it turned out lol
