OC Kiss Week: 2023
Thank you @dingoat for offering up Ahuska! I had the perfect mental picture of how this would happen immediately and it’s been killing me to keep it secret!
Kiss Type: Platonic
Word Count: 766
Fandom: swtor
“What the fething hell are you doing here?”
Fynta winced at the Bothan’s sharp tone. She’d pushed Ahuska to swear a few times, but rarely upon greeting. Still, Fynta offered a lopsided grin. “I could say the same about you. Last I saw, you were shoveling tauntaun osik on Hoth.” She spread her arms to encompass the dessert at her back. “Tatooine is a long way from home.”
Ahuska snorted and turned her back on Fynta. “I’m not only a tauntaun caretaker. I specialize in a few breeds of husbandry.” Something rumbled behind the locked door Ahuska had caught Fynta trying to slice her way into. A chill raced along her spine. Ahuska must have sensed it because her snout pulled into a vicious smirk.
“So,” the Bothan prodded. “Your turn.”
“A job,” Fynta answered, though she was still staring at the locked door and trying to keep her imagination from running wild. Finally, Fynta looked at her not-quite friend. “I need to kill someone inside that palace.”
Ahuska’s features darkened, lip curling to display the tips of her canines. “Maybe I should have let you break into the cage. It would save the galaxy a lot of trouble.”
“Probably, but this guy deserves it.” Fynta retrieved her datapad to pull up the information on her mark. She didn’t always agree when Nox chose a target, but she’d been able to dig up enough on this one to know that he wouldn’t be missed. Fynta scrolled through the data and highlighted the bits that would be of interest to an animal lover like Ahuska. “Pretty sure he’s actually a bad guy.”
After a long stare, Ahuska snatched the datapad from Fynta’s hand. Her eyes narrowed at the screen, then widened when she reached the part about the underground womp rat fighting ring he ran out of the Hutt’s palace. It was by invitation only with a closed list. Fynta had failed for two weeks to get herself added, so she’d opted for an old-fashioned break-in. According to the blueprints she’d purchased from the sleazy Twi’lek in the market, that cage led to a secret tunnel.
Ahuska handed the device back to Fynta, then crossed her arms. “You’re here to kill an animal fighter? That seems a little below your pay grade.”
“It is.” Fynta had no idea why Nox wanted the man dead. Only that she was supposed to kill him. “He got on the wrong side of a Sith, but that helps, right?” She gestured with the datapad to remind Ahuska of what it held.
Another long bout of silence before Ahuska rolled her eyes. “Fine, but I’m not helping you. I’m helping them.” Fynta could live with that. She followed Ahuska to the cage and watched as the Bothan placed a hand on the scanner. “Stand back and don’t move.”
Fynta obeyed, and Ahuska swung open the door. Fynta barely restrained her bladder when a figure three meters tall loomed out of the shadows. Ahuska ignored the slobbery fangs and claws that could shred rock, speaking in soft tones while she patted the baby rancor on the chin. Finally, she glanced at Fynta. “You can come in now.”
“And yet, I don’t want to.” Fynta hadn’t moved from her spot, eyeing the darkness behind the baby and wondering where its parents were.
An amused Bothan was a funny sight. Ahuska offered what Fynta could only think of as a wolfish grin. “There’s a tunnel that leads into the lower levels of the palace in the back. It was the breeding pen, now it’s a nursery. You’ll have to climb once you reach the end.”
Caution momentarily forgotten, Fynta stepped into the cage. “You’re not setting me up?”
This time, Ahuska curled her lips in disgust. “Don’t be stupid. Just because I want to kill you doesn't mean I actually will. Besides, someone needs to help those poor creatures, and I don’t have access to that part of the palace.”
Fynta chuckled, closed the distance between them, and grabbed a started Ahuska by the snout. She planted a sloppy kiss on the side of the Bothan’s nose and danced away before the baby rancor could get agitated. “You’re the best, Fluffy.”
Fynta started towards the yawning darkness in the back of the cage at a run, mostly to avoid Ahuska’s retaliation.
“I hope you step in rancor osik,” the Bothan yelled after Fynta with a healthy amount of snarl in her voice. No doubt she’d suffer Ahuska’s wrath the next time she was within the Bothan’s reach. Until then, Fynta had a job to do.

Fighting Style Meme
Fighting Style character meme, tagged by @dingoat, (sort of. Go look at Dingo’s art because even if you’re not into that fandom the art is just plain amazing and there’s some super creative thoughts put into her character Ahuska.)
I’m going to actually tag a few people. @theoriginalladya @pixiedurango @princessvicky01 @guileandgall @aurianavaloria @cantkeepmyeyesoff @dracoangel - if any of you are bored and feel like doing it. Character(s) of your choice. Because let’s face it, a lot of us are stuck at home and bored. Tell me about your OCs if you want to!
Also anyone else who wants to do this, tag yourself on my behalf, I’d love to see it.

She doesn’t like to fight, but like many OCs she’s part of a violent world. If she must fight (and she often does), her style is as fast and lethal as possible.
Character: Reginald Cousland

Reginald is a verbose Assassin with a strategic mind, playful attitude, and a questionable moral compass. For the most part he’s a decent person, but he can be a ruthless tactician if there’s a legitimate threat to something like the throne of his home country.

OC Questions time :D! If Nela could swap lives with anyone, who would it be and would they do it? What is their casual outfit? What is their first memory?
“A-anyone…?”
Nela resorted to stroking her lekku as nervous habit like a human might brush their hair. She stared off across town from her vantage point at the now occupied comms tower. Someone out there shone like a beacon to her.
“Not-…not like exactly the same life, but I wish I’d grown up like Ahuska. Somewhere stable, not flying around everywhere and knowing both my parents. I mean-sort of. I only had Dad and he’s great but sometimes I wonder…”
She shook her head, looking down. She felt selfish for such thoughts, her life hadn’t been a bad one. Just unstable.
————-
Nela tends to wear simple robes in dark colours. Quite often she’ll go barefoot. Expensive and heavy clothes don’t really interest her.
———–
Nela’s first memory is a very tricky question given her unusual abilities with the force. The difference between reality and a vision is blurred for her. Quite often she’s simply in a comatose state watching an event from a future that may not even be.
But thinking on it over and over again, it may hit her, the one constant she can always fall back to.
Her first definite memory is seeing her Dad. In reality, she was being thrust into his hands while her mother abandoned her. But to her?
She remembers his confused, but constant grin. She remembers despite his worry, his shock, how he held her, stopped her from falling.
She remembers this very intense feeling of being completely and utterly safe.

February 18, Weeks 5, 6 & 7: Appreciating Other Content Creators Recs
It has been about two and a half weeks from the last one, so it’s about time I posted this, haha. For those new to this, here’s the intro of the last month’s same thing that explains everything perfectly:
I promised in my New Year’s resolution to spread more positiveness around towards other content creators out there. So - - here are some of my favorite creators, fics, art and other things - - that I want to appreciate once more. You can find more cool stuff in my Art Appreciation Blog dedicated solely for appreciating others’ contents.
Basically I just want to spread some positiveness around because as a content creator myself, I know how much joy and encouragement even one show of appreciation can bring into people’s lives :)
FICS
@numinousbones - This is not what she wants to become, but if it is this or death, Meyrikh knows what she will choose. Always.
Now that I’m reading this again, I STILL LOVE THIS SO, SO MUCH! Like holy damn, the style drew me right in and made me practically devour the words while completely dropping my focus on everything else. The story flows really well and I just can’t help but marvel how they have managed to pack so much story and emotion into such a short fic. The character interactions between their Inquisitor and Khem are the icing on the cake and seal the whole piece, making it an absolutely flawless reading experience.
#
@cinlat - Interrupted Hunt
Fighting scenes are not the easiest thing to write about since they need to hit just the spot to feel smooth and enjoyable. It’s safe to say that this fic has achieved that and even more, as it nailed the fighting amazingly well, making it flow very nicely forward. That and the catching style made me eagerly read all the way to the end, even leaving me to crave more. I also have to quickly mention that I absolutely adore both of the OCs presented here, so it made the reading experience even more perfect.
#
@inyri - “Can I hold your hand?” prompt
Ah, I do love how amazingly other people fill out any prompts they’re given by me or someone else, this one being no exception. I could instantly feel the connection between Nine and Theron, and absolutely loved their interactions as they felt very smooth and believable. The first hand-holding scene before the interruption is absolutely pure perfection and the ending is superb, and it left me with a wide smile on my face.
#
Short Appreciations for
@greyias for giving me years’ worth of laughter about their Jedi Knight, Grey, and Theron because the piece about them is absolutely hilarious; @storyknitter for writing such amazingly heartbreaking angst and hurt/comfort about their Jedi Knight, Vassanna, and Theron that I’m still weeping; @cipherninethousand for providing me all the pure fluff about their Sith Inquisitor, H’ashura, and Andronikos that makes me smile so, so widely;
@imperialgradients for providing such good writing about the young Grand Inquisitor with their awesome style; @chocolatefortheneurotic for absolutely destroying me with their ficlet, proving to me once again why they’re the best Vowrawn and Marr expert out there in my eyes
ART
@koenigin-mercedes - Zeltron & NSFW Twi’lek
First one offers an absolutely vibrant colored Zeltron that is such an eye-catcher it’s hard to look away. I love the matching background and of course how well-made the whole piece looks.
About the second one, even though I might be a bit biased when it comes to Twi’leks, it’s still an amazingly done piece. All the details, all the muscles and the expression- hot damn, this is the first time I have thought about wanting something on a body pillow (xP) because damn. Just amazing work.
THEY ARE LITERALLY THE GOD/GODDESS OF ART OH MY GOD. You don’t get it, when I saw their art the first time, I died and was reborn as a new person, filled with joy and wonder with no negativity inside. Their vibrant colors, clean lines and absolutely professional quality art made me gape and sob endlessly because it’s just that perfect.
#
@zephhhhh - Imperial Agent + Hunter & gorgeous OC
First one has such a nice, humorous tone to it that it makes me laugh out loud. I love the red outlines and the expressions (seriously, absolutely amazing), and the way how natural and fitting the style feels.
Second one- damn. Just damn. It’s absolutely gorgeous, from the character and its details to the background. It’s very emotive and the longer I stare at it, the harder I clutch my chest because holy damn this is some quality content.
This person’s style is absolutely amazing. I love how distinctive it is and that it always makes me stop and look at their art a little bit longer, because I just want to take in every little detail and brush stroke. The darker tones are very pleasing to the eye and if I didn’t have more comments to give, I would just gush about their works endlessly.
#
@trashmuh - NSFW Valentine’s Day & OC Fight Week starter
Hot damn to the first one because of reasons, haha. The composition is done really well, and I love the contrast between the lighter and darker colors. The expression is golden as well as the eye-catcher, the red lingerie. Absolutely amazing piece that definitely makes me interested in seeing more of their art.
Second one was for the OC Fight Week, and let me just first say that *everything* they have done for the OC Fight Week (here’s a link to all of them) have been absolutely amazing! They also earn a slow clap for productivity as there’s so many of them. But seriously, there’s so much movement and emotion packed into each picture that they’re just such a joy to see!
Another nice and distinctive style right here! I love how amazing their art looks with the thin, sometimes barely visible lines. The use of color is always highly pleasing to the eye and I absolutely love how smooth their art always looks.
#
@wereleel - Jack doppelgangers & Claptrap
In the first one, they have done an amazing job making humans looks absolutely stunning in their geometric style. It fits the characters really well and gives the whole piece are very distinctive look. I love everyone’s expressions and the poses that are so sharp and clean.
The second picture deserves a deep ‘umm’, because how on earth have they managed to capture Claptrap’s annoyance so well and still make me want to stare at the picture for an eternity?? Seriously, this is some quality content right here, and they have definitely done an excellent job making Claptrap absolutely pleasing to look at while retaining the spirit of the character really well.
First of all, let me just say how much I love this person’s style. Because seriously, their geometric style is so distinctive and pleasing to the eye I can’t help but marvel how amazingly they do it. They have some serious talent and whenever I see their art, my jaw just drops because damn. It’s amazing.
#
@popiell - Laser tag & Viper
I love the colors and composition in the first one, not to mention the style is absolutely gorgeous. It’s very emotive and tells a whole story on its own.
The second one… pure perfection. The expression and style on the Mirialan is amazing but I’m even more impressed by the viper. It looks absolutely amazing and its open mouth with bared fangs- damn, it looks so, so gorgeous.
What can I say, I’m a big sucker for distinctive and gorgeous art, haha. I pretty much commented on more than a few of their art pieces after the first one, just so I could see more of their style because it’s absolutely top notch. It’s so vivid and pleasing to the eye, not to mention the occasional humorous tags they leave in their work never fail to make the experience even better.
#
Short Appreciations for
@spacelingart for their Hybrid Togruta/Sith Pureblood because it’s one of the best hybrids I have ever seen; @styliferous for their shirtless Andronikos that absolutely blew me away with the gorgeous style and good-looking background;
@geirart for making my jaw drop the first time I saw this piece because it’s absolutely stunning from the character to the snake, and I just love how well everything fits together; @joan--of--art for making such an amazing looking OC piece with traditional art;
@dingoat for their fierce Ahuska piece that is packed so full of raw emotion I’m practically weeping over here; @moonlitalien for their purple gorgeousness that is absolutely hypnotizing, making it very difficult to look away; @princess-of-brillini for all of their AU art pieces, especially this Star Wars one, that are so amazing and very well done that I can’t help but gush endlessly about them
MY CONTENT*
*Because I’m proud of my works too but I don’t want to make a separate post for them, so putting them here will have to do lol.
Fics
I Love You (SFW, Inibri x Harkun, 620 words)
Reading this again made me completely die because it’s so sweet and fluffy despite Inibri being Inibri, haha. But for real, I just love producing content for these two. Because even though they come from vastly different backgrounds, they are still attracted to each other and want to be together, despite it not being the most logical thing for either of them to do.
Control & Fangs (NSFW, Inibri x Harkun, 634 words)
Continuing from the above, I love this relationship so much because of their dynamics. Even though it might seem from the “a former slave turned Sith Lord is smooching an Overseer” premise that Harkun’s in charge, that’s so not the case. I just love to portray this in smutty and non-smutty pieces alike, and it lends itself off to AUs as well. I had a blast writing the vampire!AU and definitely want to do more with it in the future.
Original Work
Finishing the first draft of my original novel
I’m damn proud of myself for being able to do this! It was a long and bloody battle, but I finally got it all done and can’t wait to start editing it (you know, starting the actual hard part lol) in a couple of weeks.
Art
Portraits of my SWTOR mains
I decided to gently dip my toes in drawing once again because of my fic writing break since I craved to create at least some content on this blog. It has been surprisingly fun, even though I’m still fumbling with practically everything, haha. But still, I’m very pleased with how the portraits turned out to be and how nice they look.
