#Across the Universe|SW verse

[brooklynislandgirl]

♡x3 and bonus for heart for Keni

...Knocking Outside Your Door... || - I. Beth brings Nilza to the edge of the clearing, after slipping a talisman around her neck and sprinkling her with a mixture of salt and creek water. She says it will keep her Cousins from smelling the woman's human presence, which leaves a lot to be explained. Kinfolk are allowed at moots, she says, as long as they know their place, but outsiders aren't exactly welcome. An old, frail looking woman in cargo pants and a plaid shirt, dressed in bones, feathers, and different kinds of rocks takes centre-stage in front of the fire. The small gathering of people and wolves gather around her and settle down. She pulls a pipe from her pocket and loads it with tobacco. "...S' Bessie Hardwinter. We call her Old Bear Woman. She's gonna tell stories." Beth's thin face practically shines as bright as the moon, her eyes aglow from within. Her voice is barely a whisper against Nilza's ear. "Not somethin' yer ever gonna forget."

{{Beth while a knowledgeable Granny woman in her own right, was never taught to read or write, and stories ~whether read from actual books, or paraphrased from television and movies which is another thing she doesn't have access to~ are the greatest treasures she can imagine, and can listen to them over and over again.}} II. Peeling potatoes for a church pot latch is not something Beth expected Nilza to be particularly thrilled about. She's got very strong opinions on religion and God that Beth doesn't necessarily agree with, but doesn't argue in order for there to be peace with the Hunter. Still, the knife is steady in her hand. Maybe it's soothing for her, using her skills for something that doesn't involve blood. Beth keeps up the small talk, more than once looking up and smiling. And when everything is trimmed and peeled, the vegetables going into the great iron pot in her fire place with water and salt and herbs, what's left to do in the waiting is to clean up. "Put 'em outside for the hogs and the earth. There's a fancy word for it but I don' remember what it is." Funny though, how while they're scooping up their scraps, their hands keep brushing one another's. {{Holding hands. No, seriously.}}

III. As they dry off having combated the heat of the day with a dip in the creek, Beth shyly approaches Nilza with an old comb in hand. She sits on the a step two lower than the porch, her back turned to the other woman. "If it's not a burden, of course." So polite, painfully so at times. But even wet and without conditioner, the inky wet strands are like corn-silk only thicker. "My brother used to do it for me after it got to be so long. Never could get the braids right but he tried." She smiles, and closes her eyes, lifting her face to the warm spring sun. {{Brushing and styling hair, or really any form of grooming behaviour is something very rare for Beth, but a thing she associates with the best kind of memories. An innate intimacy, she's glad to return the favour of someone with whom she's close.}}

~*~

"There is no emotion, there is peace. There is no ignorance, there is knowledge. There is no passion, there is serenity. There is no chaos, there is harmony. There is no death, there is the Force." {{>.> Make of it what you will, cause Melakeni refuses to cooperate. Big surprise.}}

Hi! It's me again :3, I don't know (and remember) if anyone has asked this before but I would like to know:

How did OG!MK feel when he found out that SW is his father in another dimension (I feel like Mei would say something like "See? I told you he was your dad" or something)

If it happens before S4, I feel like Mk would be a little jealous of his other self seeing that he doesn't have the problem of not knowing who his biological parents.

(The idea occurred to me when I remembered a tiktok that said MK used any type of editing app to get an idea of ​​what his parents would look like 🥲)

omg if you have that tiktok I'd love a link XD

Think i did do a post like that ages ago, but only with an earlier draft of TMKATI and canon. Now I have like three more verses to torment MK with >:)

When the Canon verse and the other verses collide, the quickest thing the MKs would notice is their appearances.

OG!MK: "Whoa!! These me's are monkey demons!" TMKATI!MK: "And you guys are... human???" SlowBoiled!MK: "Yeah, why wouldn't him- I mean me be?" CenturyEgg!MK: "I don't know about you guys - but my parents are monkey demons. Then again my gūtā [dad's gender neutral older sibling] is human, I think???" JTTWEgg!MK: "My parents are monkey demons! The coolest monkey demons ever I may brag." TMKATI!MK: "Oh no way! My parents are monkey demons too! i have a bunch of adopted siblings though. Does your dad work with Bóbo[dad's older brother] Pigsy too?" CenturyEgg!MK: "No cus Uncle Pigsy and Tang lives in the city. We all live on Flower Fruit Mountain - but we visit as often as possible! Uncle Sandy ferries us across all the time." :3 OG!MK: "Wow!! You two live on the mountain!? What's it like?" JTTWEgg!MK, shrugging: "It's cool." CenturyEgg!MK: "Sometimes feel pressured by my role as Heir to the Stone Throne - but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I really don't like having to visit the Celestial Realm though. The nobles are kinda mean about my dad cus he caused a bunch of havoc a long time ago." The Other MKs: "wut" OG!MK: "Uh... Please explain who your parents are?" CenturyEgg!MK, confused by their confusion: "Sun Wukong the Monkey King, and Liu'er Mihou the Sage of Wind??? I thought you guys were too???" JTTWEgg!MK: "Yeah, mine are too. I thought you guys knew??" SlowBoiled!MK: "No- well kind- it's complicated! Ok!?" TMKATI!MK: "Not me. My parents are normal monkey demons, dude." OG!MK: "Oh my gods the Monkey King *is* our dad in another universe! Mei is never gonna let me forget this!" CenturyEgg!MK: "Well techinically he's my mom too so..." The Other MKs: "lol wat?" JTTWEgg!MK: "lol same."

The different MKs collaborate to tell stories about themselves (and get a solid PSA on Stone Eggs) while their respective Meis are snapping photos with eachother.

The different monkeys watch on nervously. The different monkey kings are sitting politely as their Macaques hiss at eachother from across the room.

OG!SWK: "So uh... did you tell him yet?" Other Monkeys: "Tell him what?" SlowBoiled!SWK: "About him being made by Nuwa, or the fact that we were forced to abandon him?" The CenturyEgg and TMKATI monkeys: "What." TMKATI!SWK, laughing nervously: "What? Oh gods no. I thought you guys meant telling him who we are!" The Other Monkeys: "Wut" CenturyEgg!SWK: "Your MK doesn't know that you guys are... Us?" TMKATI!LEM: "Nah, we've sorta been off-the-grid ever since genius here [thumb-points at his SWK] got me pregnant with our MK." The Stone Egg au SWKs: "Hah!" "Uno reverse card, plums!" Stone Egg LEMs: *all three have varying looks of horror, indignance, and bashfulness* SlowBoiled!LEM: "I said I was sorry!" OG!LEM: "Wait... what do you mean by sorry?" SlowBoiled!LEM, looking uncomfortable: "Cus of our uh... fight under the Mountain, and me not returning to feed him, I sorta caused Wukong's body to create a Stone Egg... and then I sorta died before I found out so..." JTTWEgg!LEM: "Ooof. Glad I learned early then." CenturyEgg!SWK, to his SlowBoiled counterpart: "Oh bummer, you got left with Stone Egg all the way back then? I started up the process willingly after I had to seal away DBK. When was the little guy born?" SlowBoiled!SWK: "Little lady actually. Yuebei was born about six months ago. Our MK was crafted by Nuwa - then again I did raise him the first year until I became too weak to care for him..." *looks sad* TMKATI and CenturyEgg monkeys: "Oh no..." :( "Stone eggs are super dangerous to the people around them. I don't blame you." JTTWEgg!SWK: "Odd. I got an Egg from the mountain too - but mine was born shortly after I completed the Journey. And mine was our MK. Did losing Mihou make the process longer??" OG Monkeys: "What?" "How many of you have MK as your kid!?" (*Cue them having to make a Venn Diagram of Whos' MK is What to Whom*) OG!SWK: "Ok so! Mine and the guy with the super-adorbs baby got our MKs dumped on us." SlowBoiled Monkeys: *proudly showing photos of their Yuebei* OG!LEM: "The me in sweatpants had him cus of a comet /slash/ stone egg soul mishap." TMKATI!LEM: "Oh, my Wukong was still responsible there. He sealed the Harbringer's soul inside me after using a sealing spell. TMKATI!SWK: "I panicked, ok!" OG!SWK, pointing at the remaining universes: "Annnd you two literally birthed him yourselves." CenturyEgg and JttwEgg SWKs: "Yup." "Stone shell and all." OG!SWK: "...is there anything else I'm missing?" The other universes: (*scratching their chins in thought*) SlowBoiled!LEM, slyly: "So are you guys back together yet, or what?" OG Monkeys: "What!?" "As if!"

Laughter just erupts around the room as the canon shadowpeach pairing realises that they're the odd ones out as *not* being together.

Complete and utter chaos reigns when the parent and MK groups reunite, and they recognise some sort of connection...

Reposting from inactive blog to here.

Regarding the topic of Sign Language in star wars universe.

I unfortunately don't really sign, but I relied on hearing aids and lipreading quite heavily but not perfectly well. It's something I lacked in life for communication and projecting my disability onto OCs for this verse.

Again, this is my personal headcanons for my legacy and everything here are strictly fictional asdfghjkl.

The point is, I know it is common to rely on ASL and BSL as the base concept to use for deaf and mute characters to sign. Personally for me when it comes to deaf characters in my legacy verse, namely Ania and Jazz who are hearing impaired, there are more than two Sign Languages to range from within the galaxy's regions. I find that using ASL and BSL in star wars really awkward because you'll be asking 'where's american/british comes from in star wars???'. I won't be using that for a specific reason.

Ania and Jazz both have hearing aids and implants to help them, but Kritanta and Vowrawn made sure to teach the twins on sign languages under circumstances.

The first one being the Galactic Sign Language, shortened as GSL, which was formerly known as Republic Sign Language but the Senate elected to change it to Galactic for universal purpose. This can be roughly connected with Basic speaking language being mostly common. GSL is the SW equivalent to ASL (american sign language).

Tau Idair in this legacy was fluent in GSL due to one of her parents being deaf. Tau communicated Jazz in GSL within crowded places when she struggled to hear (and hearing aids can pick up a lot of noise frequencies at once, which can be distressing to deal with).

Secondly, with the resurface of the Sith Empire's existence, there is an Imperial Sign Language, shortened as ISL, as opposed to "Republic" Sign Language. It is the main sign language within Imperial core worlds. It is mostly common among Agents and Soldiers to communicate with each others for covert missions or radio silence. ISL is the SW equivalent to BSL (british sign language).

Kritanta and Vowrawn are fluent in ISL due to their daughters being hearing impaired when they found out they were born profound deaf. However, neither of them shy away from learning GSL. Not to mention that Kritanta wore a mask 24/7 for health reasons that hid away the ability for his daughters or anyone else to lipread.

Marr and Jadus were fluent in the knowledge of ISL and GSL the same reason for wearing a mask and communicate with hard of hearing officers. But generally this applies to masked characters who can take up the options of learning basic knowledge. As Ania relied on lipreading the most, Marr and Jadus didn't wait to linger long so they can take their mask off in private to communicate with her.

Thirdly, much like ISL but there's another one used within Imperial core worlds known as Sith Sign Language, shortened as SSL, commonly used amongst Siths or force-users to communicate and possibly talk shit and gossip behind non-force user's backs.

An idea brought to you by darthvronton that I'm including it in this legacy. It is possible that SSL borrows sign words from ISL purposely. a suggestion to take note brought by a friend.

Fourth, not all neutral core worlds like Tatooine or Nar Shadda followed GSL. The Hutts introduced and spread the influence of Huttese Sign Language, shortened as HSL, across neutral aligned factions. This was to go on par with characters speaking Huttese.

Especially the likes of Blizz who may have known HSL because they do communicate for trading. As part of the deal with the Jedi and Republic to keep out of trouble rather than going to jail, Blizz agreed to be an interpreter for the deaf Jedi… which they eventually became Jazz's main interpreter.

Lastly, the fifth being exclusive only to Mandalorians as they invented and translated their language into Mando'a Sign Language, shortened as MSL, for deaf and mute mandalorians without feeling the need to remove the helmet out of privacy.

All in all, I had to avoid using Basic Sign Language for universal use because when you shortened it as BSL, it can get mistaken for British Sign Language. This is why Galactic was a more appropriate choice.

SW Verse Thoughts: Light outside of Sol & Sol in the "Known Universe"

//So, been thinking about Echo's SW verse and how proximity to the Traveler does, in fact, affect ghosts and probably Guardians. The idea that the farther they are from the Traveler, the weaker their Light is is really interesting to me bc it would actually give a lot of leeway in their interactions with different aspects of other Sci-fi universes without being Overpowered.

//Because let's face it, Guardians are made to go toe to toe with big bads and outstanding numbers. They are made to go into impossible fights and come out on top. Because that was the situation the Traveler was in when it was first "killed" by the Black Fleet.

//But given the handicap of limited Light outside of Sol, not only do Drifter's stories of the Bad Things out there ring true, but it also gives other narratives a chance to shine as well. So the idea is that Sol is actually deep in the Unknown Regions and that the Traveler, after dealing with the Witness and them, actually came to this galaxy with a Last Stand intention. It's scared and it knows the ones hunting it will destroy more and more, and it's just come into this new galaxy after the last one was collapsed by the Witness. So it does the only thing it can think of: it makes a lobster trap.

//The Traveler is a Terraformer, it can't do anything but give life. So it does, but in a way that turns a whole third of an unsuspecting galaxy into a giant lobster trap. At first, it was unintentional. Then it became calculated, and soon it had drawn its enemies to a center point within the 1/3 galactic lobster trap and temporarily perished, giving life to the Guardians as both its gift, curse, and apology for what it brought to Sol.

//For the sake of this AU, this is what I think happened and why only 1/2 of the galaxy is mapped: Because of the buffer made between the darkness-poisoned Lobster Trap and the flourishing galaxy.

//But with this in mind, consider: After the Vanguard deals with the Witness and once things settle down, imagine the Last City developing a Representative Consensus instead of a Faction Consensus, and are introduced to the New Republic when a guardian gets tossed across the universe and finally makes their way home with new friends and new ways to make things easier on everybody.

hi!!! just wanted to say, i just finished binge reading the biggest fics in the corin verse which i’ve been doing for about two weeks and i’m just. absolutely in awe of you as a writer and so appreciative that you’ve taken so much time to thoughtfully and carefully tell such beautiful stories!!! i’m fr not even a star wars person - like i’ve seen the first six movies at different times over the years and i follow some of the lore and stuff from the ongoing works, but i’ve never even seen the mandalorian and i don’t consider myself at all part of the fandom. but i came across your fics and here i am weeks later totally in love with everything you’ve done w the characters and the world and just all the ocs you’ve made who are so fleshed out and realistic and !!! idk i’m rambling but you just truly are a very talented and clearly hardworking writer and im not a big commenter normally cause i usually don’t have too much to say about a work but i’m obsessed w the world you’ve created and i wanted to let you know how much i appreciate all the work you do!!!! i saw ur feeling sick so hopefully you’re on the upswing!!! all the best <3

Wow, I heartily apologize for the unforgivably long time it has taken me to reply. Unfortunately it does seem like Covid has given my immune system a serious beating because I keep getting sick every time I'm back on my feet T-T That, plus work, it hasn't given me much free time...

But let me tell you how your message has certainly made my day, possibly my week, month, and maybe even my year <3 Thank you SO MUCH for the amazing feedback and I'm so incredibly honoured you decided to give my story a go despite not being in the fandom. I wasn't really deep into the SW fandom myself before the Mandalorian dragged me into it xD I knew about the fandom, of course, but I never wrote or read anything about it, so writing this series has given me a LOT of lore to catch up on xD

OCs are notoriously difficult, especially when you throw them into an already established universe with canon characters, so I can only bow into the dust with gratitude over your superkind words in regards to mine. I'm not going to lie; I put a lot of effort into them, and this really makes the hours worth it! Thank you and I hope you know how endlessly I appreciate your message! <3 <3 <3

sif - give me all the asgardian things tbh

wanda (in her asgard au) - a mix of a royalty & marvel au, this verse / concept centers on healing & learning about a new world

harmonia - i love the concept of ' all pantheons exist ' & think it could be really interesting for harmonia to come across other deities during her exile

allya - since marvel includes a lot of space adventures / elements, it could be intersting to mix the sw & marvel universes

both in canon and in sw amelia gets lavender via the universal cat distribution system. but sw verse specifically lav can be uh rather judgmental of other people. amelia is very obviously his favorite person. and everyone else can earn his friendship (or try to anyways). but general he'll either ignore someone, tolerate them, or stare at them from across the room like he's plotting their murder. there are a few exceptions to this, where lav took an immediate liking to someone. obi wan is one of these exceptions.

#this is one of those not really important but important to me details #&. GENERAL #&. verse : star wars #&. re. lavender

#my fic

[fruitcoops]

hi! i was just wondering if you were planning to write vaincre stuff at all and if so would you post before the fic is finished? i’m gonna wait to read it for a bit but don’t want to read spoilers by accident

Great question! I answered this aaaages ago, but basically it boils down to two things:

1. I will not stop writing on this blog entirely, though I may slow down/ adjust future works. New material = new canon, and the last thing I want to do is stomp on Haz’s universe while she’s creating something so beautiful for all of us. However, I will not be taking down any of my published fics unless Haz explicitly asks me to! Those took time, energy, and effort, and they all came before the sequel was published.

2. I will do my best to keep up with Vaincre’s updates, but due to new COVID vaccination stuff, my college will be on-campus starting this fall (yay!)! This means I will be moving across the country and be super crazy busy, so I will be writing to relax but there is no guarantee I will have the energy to keep track of a long fic.

All in all, I will continue writing SW-verse stuff and generally keep to my little niche, probably until Vaincre is done. Most of my fics take place before or after SW because I feel most comfortable writing about those--specific requests for Vaincre fics will be answered on a case-to-case basis. I love you all and can’t wait to start this new journey with you! <3

She writes it in black permanent marker. Small sweeping strokes, half cursive half print. When she's finished, she presses ruby red painted lips to the very pale skin with even paler lines near the small of his back as a signature. She takes so much care not to wake him before she slides restlessly out from between the sheets. Takes a moment more to admire both her poetry and the beauty of him sleeping, limbs akimbo, dark hair pressed against his pillow. Then she turns and pads her way toward the window to look out on the wet cityscape. To press her hands against the chilly damp glass. She sees the spectral reflection of herself in his shirt, rumpled and too long for her body. She leaves her mark behind when she finally shivers with cold, and makes her way to the couch, where she left her bag earlier, when she suggested he get some rest. She'd kept him company, listening to the steady stream of his murmurs until they turned into deep breaths. And now she's on his couch, under a throw blanket, with a thermos of tea. The book she was in the middle of reading, and her glasses perched on the end of her nose. Not everyone sleeps the same way.

[solerey]

Some initial TROS thoughts, unpolished and rambling. Feel free to come chatter.

So...”Rey Palpatine” is kind of stupid, but also kind of the best option that they had available to them short of just...doing to TLJ the same thing that TLJ did to TFA and just kicking it apart and tossing the pieces out the window. And I guess JJ and the other folks working on this movie weren’t that level of asshole, okay.

How the hell does Poe being a spice smuggler fit his backstory? Was it a Resistance mission and he didn’t want to spill those beans in front of everybody mid-mission? Because seriously, how the hell is that supposed to fit even time-wise into the history we’ve been given, let alone personality-wise? Was JJ just trying real hard to make Poe “this movie’s Han” or something? Because I hate to break it to him but Poe is the new trio’s Leia and he’s the one who established that fact so he really should have remembered it okay. I mean...at least we do have the canon of Han Solo being a spice smuggler, so we can kind of say it’s not as bad of a Bad Racist Stereotype as it would be to pull the equivalent shit in our world...but at the same time, smuggling space under the Empire is rather different from smuggling spice under the New Republic, which is not a horrible totalitarian government...and for that matter, Poe had nice loving parents and a good childhood, unlike Han, so how the hell did he even end up starting that in the first place? It must have been some kind of undercover mission. It must have. Nothing else makes sense.

OH GODS THAT KISS ASJLK:SGOIWEUGHUAKBN:KNSFN WHYYYYY. I legit let out a noise of involuntary disgust and horror that was some kind of scream-turned-into-a-gurgle that I really, really wish I could duplicate but I don’t even know how I got my throat to issue that sound omg. Made half the theater giggle though whoops. Thank every power in the ‘verse that he died then, at least; if Kylo Ren had not only gotten a “redemption arc” but also lived I don’t know that I could have stomached it...

P.S. “I realized that I’ve been a complete monster and have murdered tons and tons of people for bad reasons and now I feel bad about it, so I’m going to go kill some of my old allies now and then give my lifeforce to someone who’s actually a Good Person so they can survive in my place and improve the galaxy in ways that my shitty whiny evil ass never could” is not the kind of “redemption arc“ that actually turns someone into a good person. Just like with Darth Vader, none of the horrible deeds that Kylo Ren did were erased by the fact that he had a last-minute epiphany and actually killed a few of the right people at the end. He is still a villain -- still a mass-murdering monster. He just managed to do one right thing before he died. He is not Zuko. But gosh, am I looking forward to watching the fandom elevate him to Character Sainthood for that. What is it with people and their inability to enjoy a villain without painting him as some Innocent Woobie? In my day, we could look at our Magnetos and our Doctor Dooms and say “oh yes he’s such an interesting character, I love reading about him, definitely a favorite!” without also convincing ourselves that he was a Good Person who Never Did Anything Wrong Ever...I say, grumbling, from my rocker on the porch of The Fandom Elders.

He’s worse than Kyp Duron and tbh I think Kyp Duron should have gone to jail.

Anyway...I kind of hated the Han scene? And not just because it was part of the “absolve Kylo Ren’s horrific crimes” subplot, but because it just didn’t make sense.

SPEAKING OF...what the hell was up with the “we can teleport objects across massive distances with the Force” nonsense? And people were upset that Leia used the Force to pull herself through vacuum okaaaaay...

Oh Leia. Oh Carrie. At least we got something. Thank you. Thank you to everyone who gave us that; to everyone who salvaged that. Thank you.

Also I really really wish that someone writing for the New Canon would go back to watch the first movie and figure out how hyperspace works. Ughhhh...

Not a lot of Rose in this movie, alas -- I guess she was “the Lando” of the films, huh? Shows up in the second movie and is awesome (really the only good thing to come out of TLJ wasn’t she?) but then gets pulled back to supporting-character role in the third... Hopefully the new expanded universe will do a better job of keeping her around and engaged in the further stories than the original EU did with Lando!

Even less Connix, which is sad. I wonder if it was hard for her, coming back to Star Wars without her mom? Oh Carrie. My princess eternal.

What was the point of the new droid? Don’t get me wrong, I wasn’t annoyed by it or anything -- I just didn’t get what he was actually there for? Whatever.

THANK THE FUCKING FORCE THEY DIDN’T KILL CHEWBACCA. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO EVAPORATE RIGHT OUT OF MY SEAT WHEN THAT SHIP BLEW UP.

So I’m guessing “Junior” is a baby Ackbar, right? Too bad they didn’t go with Jesmin.

WEDGE. WEDGE. WEDGE. WEDGE ANTILLES!!!!

Thank the Force they didn’t kill Wedge, either. (They didn’t, right? I mean, I was watching, but things were kind of chaotic, and I only found out that they’d killed Ackbar in TLJ because they fucking said it afterward, since there had been nothing to indicate he was there before that...but they wouldn’t kill The Survivor, RIGHT?)

Oh man it was so nice to see Lando. I kind of wish he’d been in it more, but at the same time, the bits he was in were so perfect. I hope we get a book about him helping Jannah and the other former stormtroopers tracing their origins.

So real disappointing that we didn’t get to see Finn inspiring any stormtroopers to defect, huh? When they got surrounded on the Star Destroyer, I was so hoping that the stormies were going to suddenly recognize him and lower their blasters...SIGH.

Still, at least Finn is going to be Rey’s first New Jedi Student now, right? Right?

I did really like the group of defecting stormtroopers in general, though. That was excellent. They make me want to actually read a New Canon book although it’s a shame Aaron Allston isn’t here to write one about them because his style would be a kickass fit for that story, wouldn’t it? Whoever they get, I hope someone writes it.

I’m still torn on whether or not I like that it was Luke who lifted the X-Wing out. I do know that I don’t like the Force Ghosts Can Interact Tangibly With The World idea.

JEDISTORMPILOT hug at the end? HELL YES. That is the only ship I want to see in this movie. Okay no that’s a lie I would have also been delighted with Finn/Poe and happy with Finn/Rey but since they didn’t want to give us anything more than bait-and-switch bullshit in this trilogy, I will just sit back and be thrilled by the lack of (likely heteronormative) Mono Ship Resolution and enjoy the fact that the closest we come to actual canon is this charming polyship. Even though all these of these characters deserved BETTER than the weird quasi-love triangle/whatever the fuck was going on there...and we’re not talking about the kiss again ever yuck.

I really wish they hadn’t opened Zorii Bliss’s helmet. UGH.

Speaking of: disappointed that Phasma didn’t come back again lol. Could have gotten her ass kicked again by Finn...only better this time, like the deleted version.

Also why are all of the main characters humans? Come on man...the Resistance is not the Empire (or the First Order, or Final Order, or whatever they’re calling themselves; it’s just a fresh coat of paint on the same old xenophobia). There should be way more non-humans in the ensemble scenes...and a few more aliens as full characters. Someday we’re going to get someone who actually understands the world building of this universe to write a SW movie... You couldn’t even paint Zorii Bliss a different color? Ugh. All we really got was Chewie and a few background extras/jokes/one-liners...and Chewie was pretty underutilized too, imo.

SPEAKING OF, WHY WASN’T THIS MOVIE DEDICATED TO PETER MAYHEW?

My Thoughts On the Star Fox Questline in Starlink

I just finished the Star Fox questline last night as I mentioned previously and hooo boi, do I wanna talk about my feelings on it.  Spoilers below!

Here’s what I felt the questline did right:

Good renditions of SF music -- especially the Star Wolf music.  It was an interesting take to not just remix everything and I really, really thank the composer for taking the route he did.  We have enough SW theme remixes to last for basically forever.

Really top quality banter with the SF team.  I actually adore who wrote this dialogue because it was really friggin’ good!

Good voice acting on everyone’s parts.  

Good fights, which felt like a callback to SF games with a Starlink flare.  Granted, the fights weren’t super diverse or anything, but they felt “bigger” than some of the fights in the Starlink quest, which I appreciated because I feel like boss fights are what Starlink is lacking as a game.

Overall, it just felt like a good incorporation of the SF universe into another universe.  While I was nervous that Fox being in the game would feel jarring and weird, it.. really isn’t that bad?  It’s certainly not seamless, but it’s not as awkward as I was scared it would be. 

What I did not feel the questline did right:

Literally anything with Wolf O’Donnell, bar his voice acting.

The ending?  Holy crap, why did we chase Wolf across multiple galaxies to just shoot him down?  Weren’t we supposed to catch him?  Weren’t we supposed to bring him back to Corneria?  Where did any of that go?

The henchmen felt like Walmart brand replacements for the rest of the SW team.  Kind of built up but not as well as they could have been and definitely not too memorable.

It was too short for what I felt was advertised.  Teasing basically all of the cutscenes except for Wolf being defeated was a poor decision on Ubisoft’s part.  I understand the need to hype Wolf by showing off the cutscene with him and Cash but I was left disappointed that that was it. I understand that this was a cameo and not meant to be a huge part of the game, but it felt... too brief, if that makes any sense.

Overall, I would give the questline a solid B- ranking.  It had some really great moments, especially the part where Fox is trying to navigate the lasers with the missile in tow and Peppy is freaking out.  I love the Papetoon shout out as well and the music was 10/10.

But let’s move onto my biggest complaint, which I feel is grievous enough of a mistake on Ubisoft’s part to make Star Fox’s cameo in Starlink very questionable when it comes to canon. Because while a lot of people probably don’t really “care” about this in favor of how it feeds into the Wolf/Fox bro-rivalry-maybe-romance-depending-on-who-you-are, Starlink’s SF questline heftily derails Wolf O’Donnell’s character.  And while you could argue “Well, this is a “new” timeline, so anything with Assault or Command is out the window!”, I’d also like to remind you that while that could be the case, the rest of the cast seems relatively unchanged from their motives, so I’m thinking this is more or less fanservice meets poor decision making on Ubisoft’s part.

My biggest complaint is this: Since when has Wolf O’Donnell ever cared about taking over or taking down Corneria in the history of the SF franchise?  Because that is what this entire questline hinges upon and as someone familiar with the SF universe, that’s where the questline fell to absolute pieces.  I kept waiting for something to happen where Wolf was secretly using the Legion to power up/revive Andross or something, which I still felt was a bit of a stretch given how much Wolf seemed to be in the Lylat Wars for money, not necessary for patriotism or dedication to a cause. But, no, somehow, Ubisoft settled for something worse, which was Wolf suddenly having ambitions to take over Corneria with... giant machines he couldn’t control.  O....kay.

Historically, when Wolf has power, he does not really choose to do much with it.  In Assault, when he’s running Sargasso with effectively an army at his back, he doesn’t seem to do much except... just exist as he’s always existed, only, with an army to guard his headquarters.  His ambition does not seem to extend past his own survival and money.  And lets not forget later on in Assault, he shows up to help Corneria against the Aparoids.  And then again in Command, he shows up to help against the Anglars. 

And the logic there makes sense-- Wolf was never really out to wreck Corneria for the sake of villainous-mustache-twirling-reasons.  There’s speculation he joined Andross to get back at James McCloud and his son (because Wolf seems to want to prove that he’s better than Fox), but the major motivating factor seems to be money.  With the Anglars and the Aparoids, there’s no profit to be made by joining them and being neutral seems to be the equivalent of getting killed, so Wolf opts to live and fight against them.  

This evil scheme to bring primes back to Corneria just felt wacky, OOC, and bizarre for Wolf.  In itself, it’s not a bad plot, just who they got to enact it was a bad choice.  In all honesty, I think the plot would’ve been better if the person leading the charge had been a character we knew to have such wild ambitions.  A character that has in the franchise’s history tried to take down Corneria and has failed spectacularly.  Yeah, you know who I’m talking about...

The entire plot feels very Andrew to me.  Go storm off to another galaxy, grab some big robots to smash Corneria to bits.  It feels like something Andrew would do, especially out of desperation.  But I think Ubisoft picked Wolf because of his status as a fan favorite (I mean, Wolf is pretty damn cool) and for his familiarity to the audience.  It’s just a shame they gave him Andrew’s storyline and not something that is truer to the character.  I would have rather preferred just chasing Wolf across the galaxy because he was trying to evade punishment for siding with Andross than what we got in Starlink.

I could see Nintendo trying to keep Starlink’s questline canon but I honestly hope they don’t, or at least choose to largely ignore it.  I’m struggling to see if I could fit it into my headcanon-verse, if I’m honest.  I know when interviewers asked Ubisoft if Starlink was canon to Star Fox, they said it was up to Nintendo.  I guess we’ll just have to see what Nintendo does.

[walriding]

     Miles is legally dead in every post-Murkoff verse (so post-Outlast FC5; Marvel; SW; etc.) The reasons are generally the same across verses — either Murkoff staged an accident, or they simply used an incident such as what occurred at his apartment in the comics as a believable cause. Either way, the paperwork is filed, and his ‘death’ means that hunting him down and eventually bringing him back in will raise fewer questions. If he’s already dead then no one will think twice when he disappears.

     SW verse is the only verse in which Miles isn’t physically dead as well, as the Walrider doesn’t exist in that universe.

#(ᴅᴏᴄᴜᴍᴇɴᴛ ᴀᴄǫᴜɪʀᴇᴅ) ;;; ʜᴇᴀᴅᴄᴀɴᴏɴ #idk why but i was thinking about this in terms of crossover stuff #miles never went public with his portion of the mount massive story and neither did murkoff #so nobody knows he was there #(or involved with whatever murkoff project he crashed depending on the verse lol) #but people might know about his 'death' if they saw the obits or whatever #note to self that's something i wanna play around with more: people who are like 'wait didn't you die??? i swear i read that somewhere???' #miles vc: idk man mandela effect

Stranded: Day 1 - PIGEON SWARM

Hey, guys! It's meowloudly15 at the helm! And today, I've got for you the start of a story that I've been working on for the past month and a half! It feels so great to finally get it out there! I mean, I'm not done writing it, but still, you know that feeling, right?

I saw Into the Spider-Verse the day after Christmas. I was already in love with Butch!Gwen, and the movie did nothing but help. But one thing about her origin story made me think. If she showed up to Brooklyn a week before the collider accident happened, what did she do during that week? And how did she really find her way to Miles?

Those were the questions that I sought to answer by writing this fic.

I'm currently set to post chapters twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays. Here's hoping that I can actually stick to a schedule for once in my life.

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Spiderman: Into the Spider-Verse or any related characters. I am using them without permission. Please don't sue me.

I hope you like it!

NOTE: Chapters are also posted on my FFN and AO3 accounts! See the title page for more information!

PERSONS TAKING NOTICE

Gwen slowly elevated herself to a sitting position on the solid concrete, rubbing her aching head. She breathed a sigh of relief upon noting that she was still wearing her Spider-Woman mask and costume, because people were gawking at her crash landing. At least, that was what she assumed her spider-sense was warning her about.

Gwen scanned the area and noticed a disheveled man propping himself up from his seat on the stoop of an apartment building and looking her way. She also noticed a stained brown paper bag lying on the ground next to him. With any luck, the man would dismiss her as just being a drunken hallucination or some fashion of specter. She didn't see any other people nearby, so she presumed it safe to remain visible.

UNFAMILIAR TERRITORY

Right. Where on earth was she?

Was she on Earth?

Gwen stood up and studied the somehow familiar yet unfamiliar landscape. There was something about it that made it appear almost unrealistic. The city resembled Connecticut City, but was it?

It was a different dimension, wasn't it. Gwen remembered what her spider-sense had repeated over and over as it went haywire right before she was sucked into the, uh... the weird bubbly thing. It kept saying "INTERDIMENSIONAL TRANSPORTATION IMMINENT". If that wasn't a tip-off, she didn't know what was.

She ought to ask someone about where she was. But Gwen couldn't go talk to people at random while she was in her costume. They'd freak out.

RISK OF NUDITY

Right. She didn't have street clothes. They were back at her house, wherever that might be. She'd have to get some somehow.

Gwen rummaged through her pockets, taking inventory. Extra web fluid; very important... phone; hopefully she'd get service... driver's license; probably not valid here... house keys; she hoped she'd be home by curfew but kind of doubted it... a notepad and pen; tools of the trade... earbuds… aha! Money!

Only seven bucks worth of it!

The stores here might not even accept her cash. Gwen sighed.

She could steal something.

Gwen clenched her fists. There really wasn't any other way, was there?

IMPENDING MORAL CRISIS

"Thanks a lot," Gwen muttered under her breath, "but I already saw that coming."

And she needed to get a wallet, too, Gwen thought as she stuffed the crumpled bills back into her pocket. But that could wait.

She had to find a store. In the process, she could explore this place.

There was also a lot of other weird feedback from her spider-sense, Gwen recalled as she shot a webline towards the nearest street sign (it read "Wideway", which wasn't the name of any street that she knew of) and swung into the city. Something about "HAIR-RELATED CRISIS", and "PIGEON SWARM", and "LOZENGE BOMBARDMENT", and "BLOODY PREDICAMENT". She shrugged them off as her spider-sense just going haywire from the extreme duress that she was un-

PIGEON SWARM

Gwen looked up and found herself just feet away from a flock of pigeons which was headed straight towards her. She yelped in a rather undignified fashion and dodged between the startled birds, somehow managing to navigate through with only a few scratches.

Okay, maybe the spider-sense was right that one time. But it was just a coincidence. Wasn't it?

Gwen sighed and continued to web-swing, searching for a store as she traveled.

What the... Bold Navy?

Gwen swung to the building, clinging to its face and crawling down to peer in the shop windows. There were racks of clothes and mannequins inside. A few shoppers and clerks milled through the brightly-lit aisles.

Huh. This place must have been this universe's version of Gold Navy.

So what was the plan, what was the plan?

SHOPPERS INCOMING

Gwen flinched and crawled backwards to avoid being noticed by two young women who were emerging from the store. She had half a mind to steal the clothes from their bags, but she didn't know if they would be the right size or not. Instead, she vaulted through the automatic doors and clung to the wall above it inside the store, staying out of range of the cameras.

The shoppers were another thing that her spider-sense had warned her about while going through the bubbles.

Two coincidences?

Maybe they weren't coincidences, Gwen wondered.

There was no time to think about that. She needed to steal herself some clothes.

But Gwen still hesitated, more out of nerves than anything. Should she be here?

INCONCLUSIVE

She sighed. She was here already; she might as well get it over with.

Gwen clambered across the white-painted rafters on the ceiling, looking for something that she would wear while also avoiding the people passing beneath her.

Nobody ever looked up. But it was best to stay safe.

That grey shirt looked decent. Gwen used a webline to snag it from a pile, slightly disturbing the clothes to either side. She held it up to herself. A bit small, but it would fit well enough.

A little further down, Gwen spotted pairs of khaki pants. She snatched one up, then returned it to the shelf upon realising that it was the wrong size. This time checking the label, she grabbed the correct one.

Gwen grabbed a jean jacket and backpack to complete her ensemble and had started to stuff the clothes in the pack when she remembered that she had to take off the dye tags. She crawled back to the front of the store and took a tag remover, using it to pull off the tags and promptly returning it to its proper location.

Gwen put the clothes away and took out her notepad, scribbling a quick message to the Bold Navy employees and firing it down to the checkout counter with a webshot. It read:

"I took some clothes from your store and I'm sorry but I needed them urgently. I'll pay you back asap. SW"

Gwen was about to leave when she realised that she needed different shoes. She couldn't run around town in teal ballet slippers. She hurriedly snatched a pair of blue sneakers before swinging out of the store.

She landed on a nearby rooftop, searching for cover in which to don her new outfit, and spotted a stairwell entrance. That would be perfect.

PERSONS TAKING NOTICE

Gwen threw herself to the ground, anxiously glancing around for whomever might be looking at her. She saw nobody but still commando-crawled to take shelter behind the stairwell. She threw on the outfit on top of her costume, replacing her ballet slippers with the sneakers, and tossed her mask, gloves, and slippers into the bag. Standing up, Gwen examined herself as she tore the price tags off of her clothes, casting them onto the ground. The pants fit surprisingly well, as did the jacket, which also conveniently concealed her hood and web-shooters, but the shirt was a bit tight and the sneakers were far too loose.

She was ready to go down and brave the city.

GUARD ON WATCH

Gwen opened the stairwell door and almost immediately found herself staring down a security guard. She froze in place.

RUN NOW

Gwen obediently turned tail and fled. The guard exclaimed and ran after her, waving his baton and flashlight.

Gwen's feet slipped inside her oversize sneakers as she rounded a corner, heading towards another rooftop. The new shoes were only slowing her down; at least she was still running comparatively quickly, thanks to her super speed. She propelled herself to the next roof, her feet sliding as she jumped and reducing her traction on the ledge. She landed awkwardly on the raised lip of the other roof and rolled onto the gravel rooftop just below before the guard could see where she had gone.

Gwen watched a flashlight beam pass over her head, waver from side to side, then vanish. She heard the distant crunch of boots on gravel receding and a man muttering something.

She'd be caught if she stayed up here much longer, Gwen knew. But she couldn't exactly go wall-crawling down buildings in civilian garb.

What if she asked the security guard where she was?

Then again, she was wearing stolen property. And she was trespassing. Gwen did not want to risk getting arrested.

ATOMIC DISJUNCTION

What in the ever-living heck did that mean?

Gwen was seized with a violent tremor, like an electric shock but extending through every inch of her body. She convulsed as startlingly bright colours flashed before her vision. She shrieked involuntarily through clenched teeth.

The strange seizure ended as abruptly as it had begun. Gwen was left with only a pounding headache for her troubles.

Through her rapidly receding pain, she heard louder, faster crunches of gravel and a man distantly saying, "... someone on the roof, some girl just yelled. Probably the same one. I'm checking it out."

Gwen stood up on unsteady legs and started to run. Her newly-stolen backpack thumped uncomfortably against her torso. She leaped to the next roof, tripped, and fell on her face not far from its edge.

She picked herself up but froze in the blinding glare of a flashlight. Holding the flashlight was the same security guard that she had run into previously. Gwen must have jumped onto the first building in her confusion.

She figured she already knew the answer but wanted to ask just to be safe: should she be here?

NOT A CHANCE

@tracinyad @cinlat

GENERAL    Name: Viridana Revarre Dragoi    Alias(es): Viri    Gender: Female    Age: 26 when the class story starts; 39 as of Copero.    Place of birth: Coronet City, Corellia.    Spoken languages: Galactic Basic, Sith, Huttese, Naboo.    Sexual orientation: Demi-sexual and bisexual. Would probably refer to herself as sapphic, if the term existed SW-side, since she greatly prefers women.    Occupation: Currently the Galactic Peacekeeper of the Eternal Alliance; Sith Lord; former Empire's Wrath. APPEARANCE    Eye color: Blue    Hair color: Blonde (yes, natural!)    Height: 6'2"    Scars: She's had most of her battle scars removed, but has held on to some as milestones. The most notable:                - Left cheek: she blew up a speeder when she was a small child with no control over the Force, and the debris hit her in the face.                - Stomach: Stabbing scar from duel with Arcann on Asylum.                - Numerous scars across her back from being caught in a cave-in on Quesh when she was betrayed by Darth Baras.                - Burns on the backs of her legs from taking the Eternal Throne FAVORITE    Color: Blue    Hair color: Blonde. Because Lana's blonde.    Eye color:  Gold. Because Lana has them, of course.    Entertainment: Viri loves dance and music clubs. During her time as the Wrath she went clubbing a lot, and would dance or listen to favorite bands all night long. She also loves music and reading. She finds things like plays and movies to be incredibly boring.    Pastime: Dancing and swimming, reading, exploring, or playing with her pets. She is also a sucker for ruins and if they are on a planet with ancient temples or other structures, she will want to take a look around. She does count sex with Lana as a favorite recreational activity, but that is something sacred to both of them - perhaps above the level of a ‘pastime.’    Food: Cookies. Viri has a very simple palate. She's a vegetarian, loves sugar perhaps too much, and is far more likely to enjoy a plate of raw vegetables than a complex gourmet meal.    Drink: Viri doesn't drink, generally, because she gets intoxicated very easily and hates the taste of alcohol. For non-alcoholic drinks, she loves a bubbly, sugar confection called Sugar Rush, hot chocolate and caf.    Books:Her favorites are ancient Sith literature and memoirs of interesting people from across the galaxy. She has her favorite ancient Sith blessing/verse tattooed on her body.   HAVE THEY    Passed university: Yes. Viri's parents were both scientists and she shares their aptitude for STEM fields, so the Sith sent her to the University of Corellia for a degree.    Had sex: Yes.    Had sex in public: Yes.    Gotten pregnant: No. She actually got sterilized and got an implant that was a permanent version of the Pill when she was 18 because she knew she never wanted to be a parent.    Kissed a man: Yes.    Kissed a woman: Yes.    Gotten tattoos: She has one - a Sith blessing on her left shoulder.    Gotten piercings: No. She's worn cartilage cuffs on her ears when she's been all fancy, but those aren't piercings.    Had a broken heart: Yes, after Yavin.    Been in love: Yes.    Stayed up for more than 24 hours: Yes, and her training as a Sith has made it possible to stay alert for long periods of time, but she's not a fan of this. ARE THEY    A virgin: No.    A cuddler: Only with Lana    A kisser:  Only with Lana    A smoker: No.    Scared easily: No.    Jealous easily: Oooohhhh, yes. And it's not pretty.    Trustworthy: Yes. When she gives her word to someone to keep a secret or carry out a task she does not break it, and takes that bond of honor very seriously. It's one reason she despises traitors so much and has zero room for forgiveness with them.    Dominant: Yes, at work. She's the leader of the galaxy, essentially - she has to be. In intimate settings, no (see below).      Submissive: Never. She and Lana really don't take on one role or the other. Lana's far more creative and assertive, but not dominant - and they switch off as giver and receiver as the mood strikes them.    Single: No. Lana is her Force-bonded soulmate, and while they're not officially married, they refer to each other as wives as this point. RANDOM QUESTIONS    Wanted to kill someone: Yep.    Actually killed someone: Well, that kind of goes with her job description.    Ridden a beast: Yes, although she is only okay with this if she knows for a fact the beast isn't being mistreated. She has a bantha she loves to ride across her land in Tatooine.    Have/had a job: Yes, although they've been most unusual.    Have any fears: The two largest are losing her loved ones or seeing them get hurt and not being able to save/help them. FAMILY    Sibling(s): None biologically, although she considers Vette to be her adopted sibling and officially obtained Imperial citizenship for her. Vette in turns refers to Viri as her "sister from another mother."    Parents: Andres Revarre and Tullia Dragoi. Both of her parents were scientists and worked in an Imperial cell on Corellia. Her mother, Tullia, also worked as the veterinarian at the Coronet Zoo for many years during Viri's childhood.    Children: None.    Pets: Viri loves animals, and has a bantha, an orobird, miniature rancors, sleen, taunlings, aquariums full of fish, underwalkers, nexu and vbrithers. Her sleen are her favorites, and she enjoys swimming with them when she can. There are several huge paddocks around the Odessen base for her creatures, and others live at various Alliance bases around the galaxy. Viri also insisted on bringing Bergola and the other exoboars from Vaylin's castle home with her.
