I once again have nothing for May the Fourth, so have a Very Relevant Reblog instead

I just started to re-read Like a Fine Wine. Forgot how scary Virulen was. His dialogue is soo terryfying good! Shalo is an far braver man than I.

Virulen's definitely one of the Sithliest Sith I've ever made XD as for Shalo, I guess anyone can be brave if they're horny enough for the horrors :3c

[captainmazzic]

I'm not asking for much. I just think the Sith Emperor should have a thicc dad bod to go with his dad beard. as God intended

I want David Kennedy to star as the main character in a 3rd person Star Wars survival crafting video game about a stranded stormtrooper (or other misc Imperial officer variant) stuck on a dead battlefield on a now-uninhabited planet.

I'm not just saying that because I want to see his face in an imperial uniform, what are you talking about

...He even has that perfect sexy accent..........

[captainmazzic]

Did anyone ever try to bribe Adrestin or anyone else with a slave? How did that go?

Funny that, because if we're talking even the barest of technicalities, he already owns at least one. As far as the Sith Empire is concerned, Ravinel Guln still belongs to Adrestin, even though it's always been in name only. His whole situation's only been mentioned ever so briefly in Chapter 43, but I still think it would be entertaining to write out in more detail as a one-shot flashback story. Maybe someday.

As for bribes, I don't think anyone's tried. As just straight-up gifts, however - he's had his fair share over the years. He's the type to graciously accept, then squirrel away whoever it is who's been offered until he can get them to wherever they want to go. He claims it's because he doesn't have the time to deal with slaves XD So he usually gives them space and time to think about where they want to go, offers to contact anyone they might know of that could help, helps them come up with some sort of basic survival plan, gives them a sizable chunk of cash in whatever currency will be accepted wherever it is they're going, and then drop them off. He thinks nothing of it, and could probably only barely remember names if he tried. It's happened probably about a dozen times over the years. Erion is eternally grateful, because that means less people around for them to be annoyed by. :P

Adrestin does the same with droids that have been gifted to him as well, but that's significantly rarer since Adrestin kind of has a (somewhat undeserved) reputation of having a distaste for droids. But there's one droid in particular that I'd love to also write out in a one-shot, because Adrestin freeing it was probably the most delightfully chaotic neutral-evil choice he could have made. But that droid also might be showing up in-story soon (if I can get my sorry ass to write more again....) so it might not even need a one-shot XD

anyway

thank you for putting Opening Dialogue further in the forefront of my brain by the ask! I'm helping plan a wedding/reception right now and I'm still trying to get my proverbial ducks in a row for going back to school, so life is VERY busy outside of tumblr, but Opening Dialogue still makes me happy and it also makes me happy that people also enjoy it. <3

AU where a representative of the Lost Tribe of the Sith shows up at the Senate while Palpatine is still just supreme chancellor

[captainmazzic]

.......Darth Attenborough

Sithspawn wildlife documentaries...... Villainous monologues would be so soothing......

I love everything about all of this

I fully understand that the preponderance of evidence is that George Lucas put absolutely zero thought into what Naboo’s culture was actually supposed to look like outside of what we see on screen, but as far as unintentionally effective worldbuilding goes, establishing that Naboo a. has a tradition of electing literal children as figurehead rulers of its planetary government, and b. apparently also has a tradition of assassinating these children with sufficient frequency that dressing up a bunch of other children as decoy targets has become standard operating procedure by the time of Padmé Amidala’s reign suggests that maybe the fact that this random backwater is a breeding ground for Sith Lords isn’t as unlikely as it initially appears.

I often come back to Opening Dialogue when I have a bad day. It always cheers me up

I wanted to draw you a little tiny Sivin holding up a sign that says "thank you!" because, truly, thank you, it means a lot.

My arthritis is preventing me from holding the pen for any length of time, so consider this a placeholder for when I'm able to draw again. <3

Arguments about what's canon and what's not in SW fandom are kinda pointless, I know for a fact that every fan has their personal frankensteined version of canon based on what's best for their own blorbos. I love picking up a random licensed book to sneer at half of its ideas and then steal the rest. Some shows and books and comics and whole movies are simply not incorporated into my belief system. That's how we roll

[captainmazzic]

Just because I'm old enough to BE your father does not mean that I AM. If you're calling me daddy we got a VERY different kind of relationship lol

“You are responsible for the minors in your fandom!!!”

No, I’m fucking not. I’m not your parent. My past-times do not automatically sign me up to act in loco parentis. If you need someone else to monitor your own content consumption online, go get mommy and/or daddy to set up a content blocker on your computer.

I've been writing like crazy trying to do both the epilogue for Like a Fine Wine and also the next chapters of Opening Dialogue, because they kind of bleed together and I'm having a hard time deciding what goes in what @.@ And the longer I write, the more I realize I have no idea when to end the next chapter of OD, so I'm probably inadvertently writing most of the chapter after that as well, so, good problem to have I guess? The only downside is there's ALWAYS that part right in the middle that I have no idea how to write, lol

'tis the season

I bought yet another life-size skeleton to go with the quartet that's already playing poker on the patio furniture out front. (The existing four are sitting there year-round, much to the chagrin of our obnoxious neighbor that pretends we live in an HOA, fuk u Linda you have no power here)

This new skeleboy will be living (ha) in my truck once the spooky season has switched to November. But I also decided he needs a makeover first, so I've broken out the sharpies and I'm drawing the Sith code and other similar sayings in the aurebesh all over his bones. This motherfucker is gonna be so Sith that Marka Ragnos would be jealous.

I'll take a picture or something once I'm done but good lord is it taking a while lol. Hopefully he'll be done before October >.>

[captainmazzic]

I've mentioned a few voice casts for my main OCs before, so I guess it's about time I added the newest two to the roster, since they'll be making their appearance in Opening Dialogue soon:

For Darth Virulen -- Michael Wincott, specifically as Rochefort in The Three Musketeers (1993) ...he's been a fancast for me for several of my characters throughout the years, I just really fucking love his voice ok

For Shalo Vakh -- Michael Spears, he would also totally be Shalo's actor in general tbh, he is SO pretty, I used his face as reference for making the character XD ...You can't tell because I'm bad at translating real people's faces into drawings but ehhh whatever

Why is it is so hard to find clips of the actors I like, it couldn't be because everything I like is from the 90s and early 2000s it couldn't POSSIBLY be that........

[captainmazzic]

@you-have-heard-of-me @threebea

I'm glad to see at least two of you have a direct pipeline to my brain, lol

it was Hondo the whole time

So here have a badly-done five-minute meme as a sequel to the first badly-done three-hour meme that the other one was XD

How would Heilon feel about Sith that converted to Jedi by choice?

His conclusion is always "once fallen to the Dark Side, always fallen to the Dark Side", and would say they should be either purged, mind-wiped, or otherwise forced into being a blank slate, or he would advocate for their immediate execution - which would be his automatic preference. There is no room in his mind for the idea of a converted Sith (which makes his obsession with Mordeo all the stranger, but it's not like Heilon can make sense of that, either).
