Out of Clear Sky

Also on AO3 [650 words] @whumptober - day 4: shock @clonefandomevents - Coruscant Guard bingo: memory loss

Even as he follows the Jedi and their Commanders through the Senate Dome, Fox can’t quite believe it.

The Chancellor, a traitor, playing both sides of the war. The Chancellor, a Sith, the Sith, the one they have been searching for. Surely not. Surely not the kindly, if frequently frustrating, man he has spent the last two and a half years protecting.

Fox hadn’t believed it, when the Jedi had first called him into a meeting to reveal their investigation and its findings. It seemed almost traitorous to even consider the possibility. But then they laid out their evidence, and he had to admit that he doesn’t like the picture it forms. Either the Chancellor is a traitor - as preposterous as the very phrase sounds - or they have leaks at the highest levels that he must be made aware of. It seems that all this time he has been closer to the war than he realised.

Besides, if the Chancellor is indeed a Sith that makes it the Jedi’s jurisdiction as much as his own, and they are set on their path. His invitation is a courtesy not a request. So here Fox is, following along to ensure that proper procedure is followed, and desperately hoping for an explanation that makes sense.

Fox can’t quite believe it, but as soon as the Jedi present the Chancellor with their accusations, Palpatine proves their claims without a doubt.

The first bolt of lightning sends Cody straight to the floor, twisting and writhing with a strangled scream. The second is caught against General Windu’s lightsaber, tangling around the glowing blade before overwhelming it and knocking back the Jedi behind. The third lightning bolt, Fox registers as a flash in his peripheral vision as he instinctively collapses.

Then… pain. Liquid fire coursing through his veins, whiting out all other awareness. He does not hear his voiceless gasp, does not feel the carpet against his cheek. For what could be a moment or an eternity, nothing exists except the burning light.

Awareness returns in fragments, beginning with the distant recognition that he is pulling himself to his knees. An odd rhythmic snap-hiss echoes in his ears and he blinks his eyes until he can make out bright smears of red and green and blue dancing wildly.

Oh. Lightsabers. Jedi. Sith. He should do something.

His arms are numb and twitching spasmodically, but he forces them to move in the direction he needs them. It takes several tries to retrieve his blast from its holster, to switch it to stun – can’t take the risk, not like this – to aim it at the red lights at the centre of the whirlwind of movement, and fire. It doesn’t hit, a crimson blade flicking away the blue ring contemptuously. But the moment of distraction is enough. A body hits the floor. The red light goes out.

Fox… drifts for a bit, then. He knows there is movement in the rest of the room, but he ignores it. Focuses only on steadying his breathing, on flattening shaking fingers against the cool plastoid of his armoured thighs.

“Fox. Fox!” Wolffe calling his name finally gets his attention. “Are you alright? I mean, of course you’re not, but…”

He could be, if he needed to. They are trained to keep going regardless of physical or emotional pain. But here and now… he looks up at his brother and lets himself be vulnerable.

“The lightning… It… Why did it feel familiar? I don’t understand.”

He feels lost, and yet there is a part of him that maybe does understand. A part that remembers missing hours, inexplicably trembling hands, and a haunting sense of dread. Thinks of the control chips removed from their brains. He doesn’t want to consider what it means.

Strong arms wrap around him, and he buries his face against Wolffe’s neck, hiding from the sad and terrible expression in his eyes.

“Oh, Fox’ika. I’m so sorry we left you with him.”

hi i just wanted to say i really really love sith lightning! you do a really good job of balancing anakin’s care for others (like obi-wan) with his anger and self doubt. you can see how he could become darth vader, but also how he could have been a good man. the relationships are a refreshing take on anakin v. the rest of the order, and the disaster lineage is always great! amazing job!!

Thank you so much!

Anakin is an interesting character for sure. I personally despise his Canon rep tbh but I really enjoy the challenge of "how could this character have made different choices" (even if the Anakin/Vader divide can be a challenege to write) 😂

All the credit goes to @phoenixyfriend for the amazing prompt and for giving me permission to play in the sandbox!!!

Thank you again for the lovely comment and for stopping by! 💜

I've had a thought about sith lightning that I thought I would share. In nature, lightning mainly happens when there is an imbalance of electrical charge (or forces ;) ) between the sky and the earth. So mayhap a bit of clever world building some could do is the reason it known as SITH lightning is because they are unbalanced themselves.

THAT'S SO SMART ANON YOU ARE SO SMART

On a scale of one to absolutely bonkers, how would a mechanical bull ride run in the galaxy? I imagine it would involve a lot of force lightning We're back with a commission for @teacakes1799 of their pureblood bounty hunter Gayusar, absolutely killing it on a mechanical bull!

Thank you so much for commissioning me! I had a blast drawing him and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

#commission #swtor #sith pureblood #Gayusar #teacakes1799 #im not gonna lie I was working on the background and it evolved into this absolutely manic lightning scape #and I thought it was the coolest thing #it gives me like those 80s fantasy/scifi posters vibes #the idea of a mechanical out there in like the far cantinas of like rishi or tattooine is amazing #I bet the mandolorians have an absolutely insane one which has probably caused more injuries then several sith combined

pictured: me waking up bright and early each morning and logging onto Tumblr dot com to continue my campaign of frenzied propaganda for this evil loser

#count dooku #Dooku observing Sidious and reanimated Mom Talzin lightning each other and just going “ugh” like they're still here?? I'm not dead??#I just got my little paws on that Darth Maul witch vs. sith comic and Dooku is not having a great day here #possessed then lightsabered then Force lightning BBQ'd #for real my next long post should be arguing that he's just outright insane by the Stover novelization from too much Force lightning

I argue that Anakin Skywalker and Jinx from Arcane are the same kind of blorbo, except Jinx turned out better because she didn't have Palpatine in her ear. The only differences that matter for me is that Anakin doesn't get as many outfits as Jinx nor do we ever see him channel his creativity into art, which is a loss for everyone.

#arcane #jinx arcane #star wars #anakin skywalker #sure jinx also has a toxic father figure (vander too in a way)#but Silco's love was real #would jinx be a sith?#i don't think she’d be formal like that but she would want lightning fingers

Late to post this but here is my color wheel challenge from twitter! I did it about a month ago now but now that I'm moving my art over here, it feels right that this is the way I announce that in case any of my twit followers come over.

"Wrong answer."

Recommended piece: Houdini - Foster the people

My first post! - This is my new art account, nice to meet you all! This account is mainly for me to keep track of my improvement and keep my motivation up, with commissions as my long term goal :) so feel free to follow, like and share, especially if youre someone just like me so we help each other out! Please repost with credit! I will mostly be posting OCs (mainly from SWTOR, my comfort game (you should play it too)), but I might also draw other stuff I like (genshin, HSR, OW, some other anime) - I am also active on other social media accounts (where I might slip in a meme and share about my art journey) so feel free to check out my bio for links! Got questions or just want to chat? Inbox me!

Note: Man I wish I draw quicker. Its not like its bad taking my time but each piece takes like 8-12 (disjointed) hours when it looks like it could be done in 5 hours? let me know in the comments how long an average piece should take -_- (ball park)
