For the character ask game — Dooku 2, 5, 23! aaand Rael 2, 12, 20, 25!
I'm breaking this ask up into two posts since you were SO, so generous as to give me lots of fun things to talk about!!! :D ❤️
I'm starting with Rael, since he has absolutely become one of my favorite Jedi characters and I want to tell you why.
2. Favorite canon thing about this character?
SO MANY THINGS!
I love that literally the first thing he does the very minute he’s introduced is bearhug Dooku. I love that he treats Qui-Gon like a little brother and teaches him to swim. I love that he’s the most overt, direct example of Jedi lineage and Master + Padawan relationships being a family analogue. Not that others aren’t, but the way he outright says it, no metaphors or beating around the bush: Masters LOVE their Padawans, Padawans love their Master. It’s not training, it’s raising.
12. What's a headcanon you have for this character?
My favorite is that Rael and Dooku’s early relationship as Master and apprentice was awful. Dooku is, like, this incredibly high strung, anxious perfectionist who is still almost a teenager when he takes on Rael, and has no idea what he’s doing. Meanwhile, Rael is a problem child who knows more curse words than Dooku does, is a LOT meaner, and mouths off to him constantly because it’s funny. Who even is this stuck-up knowitall who is probably just waiting for him to fail like everyone else?
Then one really bad day, in a string of bad days, Rael pushes Dooku too far, and he just… snaps. No, no lightning or shouting. Those big brown eyes slowly fill up with tears and he hurls himself in the refresher and locks the door. Rael knows he’s crying in there; he can hear him. They’re both appalled.
After that, their relationship becomes the genuinely loving, affectionate one we see in the books. One, because Rael knows Dooku is actually human in there. And two, because he knows how deeply he actually cares about making him into the best Jedi and how desperately invested he is in his success.
20. Which other character is the ideal best friend for this character, the amount of screentime they share doesn't matter?
Rael and Anakin, if they didn’t immediately get into a fist fight, would be amazing. Anakin loves Qui-Gon, okay, meet Qui-Gon’s cool big brother. And since Rael was the oldest kid they accepted into the Order before Anakin (came in at age 5) and has had issues integrating with the Jedi, he could give him some real big lineage brother advice.
25. What was your first impression of this character? How about now?
I was furious about him at first. He takes the place of Qui-Gon as Dooku’s first Padawan in old canon, and “clueless baby Dooku training Qui-Gon who is almost old enough to be his peer instead of his student” dynamic used to be my bread and butter. So initially, i was pretty put off that now that role is taken by some kind of weird cowboy talking asshole?!
Now, I love it. I’m so here for it. I’ll always love the old version, but I really like this too. He and Dooku are such opposites and it just works. And I love this pattern, between Rael, Sifo-Dyas, and Yoda, of Dooku being this formal, reserved person and the people he’s the closest to are complete playful, deeply affectionate goofballs.
Rael's just a wonderful character. Loving, flawed, complicated, strangely emotionally in tune for this lineage, and he fucks.

It’s been a while since I last posted a picture here, but I figured I’d share one now. :-D I’m currently on a cruise with my parents that they got as a sorta graduation gift for me (except that I’m fairly certain I failed my final exam so I’ve not technically graduated yet… oops). Either way, I decided to wear this pretty emerald green (that looks blue with the filters I put on it) dress that I got for less than $10 at a bin store. :-D
(Also, if anyone was unaware, a bin store is a store that has a bunch of bins of stuff that are all sold for the same price. Each day the prices decrease until restock day, when it restarts. My local bin store goes from $15, to $10, $7, $5, $3, then finally $1 before restocking. I either got this dress on the $10, $7, or $5, not sure. I also got my shoes for $1.50 at a close out sale for a Forever 21, so all in all my outfit’s a good deal, which I always love to get. ^-^)

On February 10th, 2017, a game appeared from seemingly thin air. An invitation to return to an abandoned animation studio, no other context given. Why go back? That’s a question one would ponder about here and there. The deeper you stray into the lobby, the quicker dark secrets will emerge. And just when you think you can escape, you only find yourself stumbling deeper and deeper into hell itself, laced with animations wanting revenge for the torture they’ve gone through.
To Bendy and the Ink Machine, to the little dancing devil-- happy sixth anniversary to the game and character that crawled up my favorite list. I’m glad I waited five whole years blindly to play you in full, and I’m glad you’re getting more spotlight now more than ever!

Even the most well trained dog can turn when the muzzle is off and the leash is gone.
okay he's got backstory now under cut
i'd really like to plan a DnD game where he's the villain turned-not-ally whatarewe . jpg
but basically in whatever setting, the church has some sort of force that deals with dangers in secret and without remorse or mercy. They basically are just trained dolls, acting things, and they have no souls in their bodies so they just. don't have any kind of conscious about the murderous thing they do for the church and crown.
So this guy here who i still have to name died as a child and then ressurected, like most of the people, and then trained from childhood, this little working machine, this puppet.
And then he cut his strings. Something happened. He snapped. He realized what was taken from him. His life, his rest, whatever happens beyond.
He doesn't care about his soul, he doesn't care about how many lives he has to take, how many bridges he burns.
He only solely cares about revenge against the one who raised him (from the dead and as a tool). No remorse, only revenge.
Because there's no soul in his body, just some spell tying him here, he probably can't die and his body heals itself and regenerates. I imagine that his life is connected to the person that cast the spell to raise him -- and the only way he truly dies is if they do too. Which sounds like a win-win for him.
Bonus points if over the course of the story he starts getting little bits of his soul back by accident through some outwardly force and he starts feeling again and then he's double down resolved to end it because he doesn't want to feel. Any 'good dead' he does he waves of as just a calculated 'you can help me if you're dead' 'saving that child will get us on the good side of the village and they'll give us information' 'if I do this thing you're more willing to help me'.
Real villain that was doomed to never be a hero vibes.

Not to worry, he's not gonna leave us in a cold, cruel, Carlos-less world 😉
I wanted to try some new things regarding painting, and my man Carlos was my study subject 🖤 I wanted more of a messy look, but my perfectionism won't allow me to do that :B
All in all, I'm happy with it - gotta be my best so far ^^
Even though its reach on instagram was stupidly bad with only 2 likes and now I'm terribly insecure about it :D
Also, b&w version, because why not \o/

wait this is actually all really good, useful advice, thank yall so much (especially re: the prismatic shard, because i Definitely would’ve given that to the museum under my “FIRSTBORN GOES TO THE OWL” animal crossing policy otherwise)! I haven’t unlocked, uh, a lot of the things you guys have mentioned (i need one (1) green bean which should sprout tomorrow for the first kitchen bundle and I got the first bridge repair bundle and That’s It, rip), so I’ll try and prioritize those! my primary source of income is definitely cauliflower but I am getting a little braver in the mines. I’m scared to go too far past 20 with only a wooden sword though-
re: friendships - I think Pam has adopted me, actually, i’m at 4 hearts with her and 0 or 1 with everyone else. i don’t even know how that happened, I thought she hated me. please leah i want to be friends please leave your house ever pl- also if you’ve met me for more than 5 minutes you absolutely know who i’m planning on marrying (it’s krobus)
and my dog’s name is Stella! I also have a modded cat chicken named Nancy who sleeps on my bed and meows. she’s a very advanced chicken.
moving her would make me a war criminal so it looks like i’m sleeping on the floor tonight.
