The Chiss found Ezra and Thrawn fairly quickly after the Purgill Incident because Ezra would not stop blasting Space Country Music over the Chimaera's speakers and Eli couldn't NOT investigate that

Thrawn Dances
The Mitth are cold, stoic, and calm. They exude power and control, as emotionless as the ice flats of Csilla. They are stark uniforms, and blazing suns. Intense and they demand perfection. They are from the heart of the Acendancy, and often they consider themselves to be it's center. As one of the Nine they groom their young since birth, or adoption, to be the perfect example of what a Chiss should be: powerful, fearless, an unmovable pillar in the storm. And they certainly don't dance. Not unless the occasion permitted a sharp two step, two persons, arms poised to the side, one two three four, one two three four. It was controlled, it was routine.
The Kivu were different. Further from the core, the family hadn't even existed during the days of old. Small and humble, many would overlook the family. Rentor, a backwater planet, incapable of producing anything of cultural significance. Or so the greater families thought. And true, they were small and humble, living their lives away in small farming areas, preferring not to get mixed up in the political slights of the larger families. And to the outside world they would appear just as any other Chiss family might. But they danced.
Oh, they danced. And not the stiff steps of the higher Mitth, no it was light and jovial, underneath their planet's moon, their arms raised above them, swaying with the wind. Necklaces and bracelets of scales rattled on their bodies, and shook as they thumped their bare feet against the ground. Long skirts and dresses flared out as their wearers twirled and jumped. Streaks and flashes of colour, from scarves and hats, jewelry and shoes came from every direction. Men and women, children and adults, all joined in in the dance. Shaking their instruments and rattling their jewels. Each to their own beat, each expressing their own story and song. Each making their own art.
You could learn a lot about someone from watching them make art.
Their dance was embeded in their hearts, even years after being conditioned into the ways of the higher families, it would remain. Small scars on one's ears, lips, nose. One's steps a bit too light, a rhythm to their run, twirling batons with grace, treating the dojo as a dance floor.
Who would say anything if they saw through the cracks in a warships' doors, a young man swaying to his own song?

might have brainstormed on what exactly happened to the Cipher Nine that Ania heard rumours of their 'fate' presumingly by other agents (and Keeper's warnings). enough for Ania to feel intimidated and aware of what Jadus was capable of with their powers.

i think being a star wars fan at this point is just a constant battle with anger but like. at the source of that anger is just this very passionate love and if we could just kick dave filoni out of the Disney's Special Screenwriter chair and get something new it would fix a lot.
Like no hate towards anyone who does enjoy his takes on star wars, more power to you I love the whimsy you have, but to me, personally, it's getting... repetitive? It's always the Filoni Formula, in that some insane force bullshittery is Real Now but also Look At These Cameos!!! And there's little fine-tuned focus on things that SHOULD be focused on. He's GREAT with 3-ep arcs like in TCW but longform shows are not the man's forte and it's, unfortunately, showing :(

with your tattoo post, what if the s/o asks thrawn to draw them a tattoo? Or Thrawn gives them a tattoo after buying a kit that came with a tatto gun?
Oooooh, anon my beloved, I do love this idea!
So, I see Thrawn as typically unwilling to do his own artwork because he (of all people) knows that artwork bears the soul, and he doesn't want to give others access to his own. However, I could see him making an exception for his lover, but this would have to be for someone he considers a life partner.
He would talk with them to pick out an area that would be incredibly easy to hide, and I think the design would draw from the history and culture of his people. Chiss mythology would be something incredibly obscure and hard for anyone who isn't also Chiss to interpret.
I like to imagine that there's a Chiss myth that speaks about a warrior king and his beloved consort. The warrior was known for his courage, knowledge, and dedication to his people, and his consort was beloved by all for their grace, firey spirit, and wisdom. Think sun/moon imagery or the earth/sky, but, either way, I imagine the two contrast in a way that compliments their legendary love story.
Thrawn grows up hearing this legend and doesn't think much of it until he falls in love with another officer who reminds him a little too much of that legendary consort.
After his own love story begins, Thrawn tells his beloved of the legendary king but doesn't add in the part about the consort until he is certain they are the one for him. One night as he is holding them close in bed, he tells his lover the full mythology and asks them to be his forever.
I imagine the myth ends with the lovers becoming immortalized in the stars after their death, so they'd never have to be apart. It's a constellation that can be seen only in the Ascendency, and I think that is the tattoo Thrawn picks out for his beloved.
I don't see him doing it himself, tbh. Thrawn probably sketches the constellation from memory and hires an artist he has long considered a master at the craft to ink it onto their skin.
Honestly, in this scenario, I could even see him getting the complimentary design. He gets the constellation of the warrior king, and his beloved takes the consort's.

This is the first time I got to pick those dialogues and damn, Silavth could probably have shot her and it'd be less brutal of a burn-- also this is exactly where Kaliyo has the "oh so this was all an act" a propos Blade persona.
