💜🫠 Vod, what a beautiful sketch! Your linework has in this speed the most of its dynamics and it fits so well to the heated situation 🥵❤️‍🔥 Why forcing a full detailed piece out when your sketch looks and shines like this 🥰✨🫶

what happened after they talked

there’s a burned flimsi strip near the side of the photo booth

raw sketch because I heard this song, threw myself out of bed, + I ran to my iPad; I’m exhausted + don’t have the energy for a full detailed piece after a busy weekend

✨☕️🥐 Yup, breakfast bromance! I mean @nocturius8015ficore came up with that really great Mayday scent combo and I immediately saw him sipping his little luxury cocoa while sitting on a crate at the outpost. So like Fox is Commander Caf, Mayday is Commander Cocoa and I badly want to put him in a cocoa bath like with Fox and the caf tub… 👀 And so the snarky sniper is definitely the Croissant of Star Wars by name and dryness 😳🥐

I love those faces, because you transport perfectly that they obviously fail trying to look stern in one and three. In two they seem to allow themselves to snap for a second – I can see crosshair‘s madness in those eyes! 😜

✨🫠🥰 *swoooooon* I love this, it’s so romantic and look at your beautiful art!! 😱✨ Also the writing and description of all the internal processes ♥️🫠🌹 Badass Mando and badass Commander soooo sweetly shy together! ❤️‍🔥😫❤️‍🔥

I ALMOST FORGOT 😱 „The Mikkian Pretze“ AAAAaaahahaha! Ori‘vod I love this so much! Even with the correct leaving away the ‚l‘ at the end 😂🤩🤌🤌

Aaaaaand Mayday is Commander Cocoa now, this is the way 😎✨

Trying to summarize the last few Mayday/Archer interactions - because this has been an absolute chaotically unplanned GAR Goth Night journey. 😅

This is possibly overly saccharine, but what can I say? I’m a sucker for that osik. Bear with me, Photo Booth art at the bottom!

Maydays’ Quest Continues

Maydays’ offer of the quest item rose caused Archer to feel a bit uneasy. Her beskar-clad exterior and quiet nature usually kept the aruetiise at a distance. This one was either confident or di’kutla. 😊

(Credit - @foxwithadarkside)

Unused to this sort of attention and uncertain what to do with the obviously smitten Mayday, Archer contemplated the risks of entertaining this sort of a connection.

She felt a growing sense of affection towards the man, after observing his quiet persistence, care for his vode, and unrelenting dedication. Given their respective professions, the type of connection he seemed to be seeking was dangerous, however. For both of them.

With an inward sigh and her characteristic reticence, Archer sent Mayday on an additional quest to learn some impressive dance moves. Sensing his quiet feeling of rejection and trepidation over the coming trials, Archer felt a twinge of guilt, but now she would have some time to think.

(Credit: foxwithadarkside)

Mayday carried on with his quest and learned some stunning (“the Mikkian pretze”, salsa!) and some questionable (drunk howling?) dance moves. We presently find Archer observing Mayday carefully taking notes while watching members of Clan Skirata flow through the powerful forms of the Dha Werda Verda, a Mandalorian war dance which seems to be popular with the crowd (and Archer)! It seemed, to him, that males conduct this ritual shirtless, so he prepared by removing his shirt too (RIP Hexx).

(Credit @eobe - the one who started this whole thing)

Standing amidst the rolling clouds of coloured fog, strobing lights, and crush of moving bodies, watching Mayday carefully study every movement of the dancers, Archer felt a wave of affection wash over her that was wholly her own. Beneath his exterior of confidence, this man possessed a genuine dedication and radiated such a wholesome determination that it was impossible not to like him. Resolve crystallized inside Archer, and she knew it was time to act.

She quietly approached him from behind as he watched Fi and Ordo move skillfully through the Dha Werda Verda. Placing a hand on Maydays’, shoulder she called for his attention. ”Al’verde?”

Mayday quickly spun around to face her, a surprised look on his face. Archer continued. ”I can teach you the Dha Werda Verda, if you want. But perhaps you’d like to check out the new Photo Booth with me instead?”.

Mayday felt a small thrill rush through him at being addressed by his rank in the Mando’a language and being approached by Archer for the first time. His gaze softened as he studied her and noticed the rose he’d given her, carefully pinned in her hair. He took a step closer to her and slid his sunglasses off his face, gently placing them atop her head. With a smile he offered his left hand and turned in the direction of the Photo Booth.

Returning his smile, Archer placed her hand in Mayday’s and he closed his fingers around it gently. She turned and began leading him toward the garishly-lit Photo Booth, revelling in the simple intimacy of holding hands, and feeling a small blush creep across her cheeks at being granted the cherished glasses.

(Credit: foxwithadarkside)

The purple curtain on the booth was closed across its’ entrance, but the booth appeared empty. Sliding his sunglasses down over her eyes, she pulled Mayday into the booth and reached across him to slide the curtain closed again. In such close proximity, the scents of cinnamon, mint, and cocoa washed over her, with just a hint of pine balsam. “Hmm. Fi was right” she thought with a tiny scoff.

Gathering her composure, Archer placed a credit into the payment slot, and pressed the button to activate the Photo Booth timer. “So…”Mayday began in a gravelly tone, just as a shutter sound indicated the first photo had been taken.

Swallowing her final reservations, Archer wordlessly lifted the sunglasses off her face, placed a hand on Mayday’s right cheek and dropped a kiss quickly on his left. A second shutter sound confirmed the look of shocked surprise on his face was captured by the photo booths’ camera.

Mayday quickly overcame his surprised stillness and, emboldened by Archer’s gesture of affection, stood to his full height and placed a soft peck on her forehead just as the third shutter sound signalled the end of the photo sequence.

Blushing furiously, he looked down at her for a long moment before saying “Shall we see how the photos turned out?” Backing out of the booth, he carefully placed a hand to the small of her back, bringing her with him.

Plucking the flimsi strip out of the receptacle, Archer flashed it in Mayday’s direction asking “What do you think?”.

“Mesh’la” he replied, his eyes never leaving hers.

Grabbing Maydays’ hand, Archer began confidently striding towards the music stage, towing him along. “Stay close, Al’verde. You still owe me a dance” Archer tossed over her shoulder with a smirk.

10/10 patience if you made all the way to the bottom! 😉

✨😎 Commander Mayday‘s quest notes 📝

„The most favorite dance seems to require taking off the shirt. The guests who initiated it are obviously clones, but they look a bit older and behave differently. Some kind of elite troopers, maybe Commandos. Behave like Mandalorians. Legendary first ARC troopers? Upright posture, proud, strong moves. The facial expressions part of the dance? The fierce Mandalorian beauty just joined! Great, then this is the dance I should learn first!“

Marshal Commander Fox at the GAR Goth Night by @ghostymarni

The reason for this conspiracy is the person who started GAR Goth Night: Marni 👏🎉

She casually dropped this goth Commander Fox and didn't realise we'd go completely crazy over him and the concept of a goth-themed GAR event.

When more and more clones and OCs started to join in, none of us could have imagined how popular the night would get! We wanted to add some more mystery and gothspiracy to add some plot to the night, to show our appreciation to Marni, for her amazing ability to design and gothify anything Star Wars related! 🖤✨🌹⛓️🦇✨

Marni, thank you for hyping us up and getting this off the ground! 🤩 This wouldn't have been possible without you! This one's for you! 🫶

👀🎶 *eyeing at instruments* hmmmm! That’s an artsy shenanigan idea and I like it 🤪

(using your questions from the reblog) Something slow? Fast pace? In the middle?? And how close in proximity do you want to be with this person? Not fast not slow. Something in the middle. Respectfully close. He'd also like to request a good song for the dance.

@foxwithadarkside

"Uhhh….” Did this guy literally break his guitar by snapping the strings with the Force? Was that even the Force? Before Mayday could retract his statement the male performer swiftly and deftly jumped off the stage next to him, and it was then he realized how short the man was. And by the Force he was a good six inches shorter than himself!

“So, you wanna learn a dance to woo a young maidens heart?” the man asked light-heartedly while wiggling his eyebrows.

Somehow this statement bothered Mayday. “The Mandalorian is not a helpless maiden! She is a strong-”

“-Capable fighter that can take care of herself?” The man finished with a knowing look. “Ya like em tough! That narrows the dancin down!”

Before Mayday could say anything else and quite possibly walk away, the women on the stage jumped down beside him and said, “Don't take offense to Tore,” she fixed her ruffled skirt, “the word ‘maiden’ is showing respect to women in our culture. And a term of endearment.”

Mayday turned to her and asked, “And what's your name, miss?”

She bowed her head, “You may call me Nara. And you?”

“Mayday.” He held out a hand to her and she shook it with a firm grasp. Something felt off. The next thing Mayday knew Nara had snatched his other hand and stood closer to him with her back straight and a humerus grin on her face.

“Nice!” Tore commented with a snicker.

“What are you doing?!” Mayday nearly shouted in surprise, trying to pull himself away before Archer saw him.

“We're going to teach you salsa!” Tore hopped closer to them to readjust the clone commander. “Now move your hips like this and relax your shoulders. Nara will lead you first in what you're supposed to do with her and then you'll lead!”

Mayday heard of salsas before and he always heard it was a quick step kind of dance. He began to sweat. “I don't want something too fast now, or too slow, but just something in the middle.”

“Don't worry,” Nara piped up, “this dance will be in the middle. It's salsa for beginners!” She smiled encouragingly up at him.

Again, Mayday felt a little upset by that, indirectly being called a beginner, but he was grateful that they were not going to shove him into the deep end. Nara’s hat floated off her head and back on stage with the strange instrument she had (again, Jedi ??) and took both of his hands lightly in hers and they began. Tore coached him with detailed instructions and being the visual next to him while Nara helped him with his placement of hands and feet, and within ten minutes they had a good routine down. Mayday held Nara's hand lightly as they lightly stepped back from each other to coming back into each other (with room), circling each other with her hand on his shoulder and his hand high on her back, pulling back with their hands in the first position before going into a move called “hammerlock.” Her right and his left hand went up with palms touching before going over her head and she twirled underneath bringing their hands down by her hip, a tiny pull back before they switched sides while unfolding their arms and went back into the first position of lightly holding hands, then Nara turned lightly back into him with their hands up and they “walked backwards,” posed and walked forwards again then he twirled Nara three times.

“That was great!” Nara praised him, eyes beaming. “I would say you're a natural dancer Commander!”

Mayday felt a bit of pride at her words and puffed out his chest a little. “Well, it was thanks to you and Tore-” they both turned to where the short man was standing earlier, only to find him missing. Mayday couldn't believe this was happening. He heard Nara groan in annoyance and mutter “not again” under her breath. “Kriff! I was going to ask if you guys could play a song!”

Nara held her head up with her hand. “I'll tell him once I find him.” She looked back up at him. “Don't fret too much sir, I encourage you to seek out more dances while I hunt down my friend.”

“Wait friend?” Mayday scratched his head in confusion. “Are you two-”

Nara shook her head. “We're not siblings or romantic partners. Just friends.” She had a knowing smile on her face again. “Now what was the song?”

(so sorry this took so long! I really wanted to draw the top picture but my carpal tunnel was flaring up this week.)

Also the stage is empty with instruments just sitting there....

GAR Goth Night, Choy and Una’s Night Out

Veetch/ force sensitive OC Choy, Tech/Twilek OC Una plus cameos from GGN

Story and art under the cut

🦇 🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Vetch and Hexx disappeared into the crowd, blending in with the bodies and lights and haze from the fog machine that had been kicked on. Choy felt a tap on her shoulder.

“Can you ‘elp me with the other big feathers?” Una, her tall Twilek friend, leaned down once again to bring her fontage arrangement within Choy’s reach. “Zey are all loose and annoying.”

“I’ll leave the little ones. How’s that?” Choy secured a couple flowers in the gap left by the feathers which she handed to Una as she stood up.

“Ahh so much better, thank you, Choy.” Una absent mindedly tugged and twirled one of her lekku and looked around at the people around her.

Choy’s eye was caught by a flash of white and the red glow of a small low light camera. There was a group of men of different sizes standing off to the side, one was huge. “Hey let’s go introduce you to Tech! You two should get a picture together at least!”

“Who eez Taeck?”

“Teh-“ Choy emphasized the short vowel, “Tech. Short for technical or technically. He’s one of clone force 99. The Bad Batch. You were staring at him when we got here. The one in white,” Choy explained as they skirted the walls of 79’s rather than cut across the throng. At the back door there was a clone with half white hair smoking a death stick. He took in the sight of them and squinted. Choy arched an eyebrow and pulled on Una’s hand.

“Oh, Tehhhch,” Una practiced. “He eez a clone? He does not look much like one,” she whispered to Choy as they got closer.

Tech was scanning the crowd and pressing a button on the side of his goggles. Wrecker was just behind him and had noticed the Twilek staring. He said something to Tech, who continued to scan the room opposite the girls.

“No, over there, 9 o’clock!” Wrecker grabbed the top of Tech’s head and twisted it to face him towards Una.

Choy snickered at Wrecker’s tactic, “🎵Una, he’s looking at you🎶,” she said letting her voice rise up and down in a singsong, “let’s go do introductions.” Choy pushed her around and forward.

Wrecker and Tech watched as Una approached. Tech swallowed hard. “Hey guys!” Choy cheered up at the tall clones.

“Choy!” Wrecker boomed, scooping her up in a bear hug.

“Aw you brought Lula!” Choy said, “fancy hat you got there big guy.” Wrecker set her back on the floor gently and she straightened her corset

“Aw, well, yeah, yeah it goes with my jacket, but I got too hot, I’m, this place is burning up,” he stammered, pulling on his shirt collar as he watched Choy lean forward a little to reset a boob that was threatening to escape.

She noticed his slack jawed stare. “Sorry, wardrobe malfunction. Anyway- this is Una, she’s my best friend at the temple and we snuck her out for some fun tonight.” Choy said gesturing to Una. Tech, I love the look you went with, you two match! Tech?”

“Yes nice thank you Choy, to see again you. You are lovely to make my acquaintance,” Tech said in a daze to Una. Choy barked a good laugh at Tech. Una giggled, “Zee pleasure is all mine.” She held her hand out for him to shake and he flipped it over to bow and kiss her knuckle. She blushed through her white makeup and brought the feathers up to hide her gasp.

“Would you like to dance?” asked Tech.

“Oh yes but I don’t really know how to like everyone else is,” she said looking around. “This is a bit different than what, what I used to do…” she trailed off.

“That is quite alright. I will instruct you.”

“Oh reallly romantic, professor Tech,” Wrecker laughed, rolling his eyes. Tech glared at him and led Una out onto the dance floor. They shone like a beacon in the lasers and strobe lights. Una copied what he did at first, but quickly picked up on him being supremely goofy. She adjusted her dancing to be more like the girls around her.

“She’s a natural,” Choy laughed.

“Good thing,” Wrecker said, shaking his head at Tech.

“She really derailed him. Where’s the rest of you guys?” Choy asked him.

“They went to get drinks at the bar I think, it’s been a while.” He turned around scanning the bar area. “Uh oh, hahahahaha, looks like Hunter’s making friends,” he pointed down the bar over the heads of the crowd near them. “Oh,” he said noticing Choy craning her neck and hopping on her tip toes. “Here I’ll give you a boost,” he said, encircling her waist in his huge hands and lifting her like she was a little Tooka. The scene of what looked like a tiny, half naked human woman ferociously grappling Hunter who was also mostly naked appeared over the crowd. A bubblegum pink and purple Theelin was trying to pry her off of him. And around on the other side f the bar by the service door were two clones and a keg. One was attaching a tube from the keg to the other man. Wait, Choy squinted, was that- “That’s Crosshair’s girlfriend,” Wrecker said, his head level with hers now, “she don’t like Hunter one bit.”

“Clearly,” Choy laughed as Wrecker set her down, “but I can totally see Crosshair and her together.” She wondered to herself about the clones with the keg. “Have you seen Echo?”

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

“Hexx, Veetch, you’re dismissed,” Mayday said as he studied the rose in his hand. His men saluted, looked at eachother and walked away.

“Finally. I’m getting a drink, you going to go find little miss flirt?” Hexx asked, crooking an eyebrow.

“Yeah,” Veetch said, “you good for the minute?”

“Go get’er.” He clapped Veetch on the shoulder.

Veetch wandered through the club, head on a swivel. The girls weren’t where he’d seen them before. He backtracked toward the bar and saw the tall Twilek dancing with a tall human guy wearing a fancy white outfit. But poofy black dress girl wasn’t there. He scanned the crowd below their heads for her hair and bows as he kept moving. Bodies bumped and slinked past him as he made his way across the dance floor. Then he saw a really huge soldier with blast scars across his face wearing a top hat. He towered above the people around him even as he bent down to lift up- poofy black dress girl. He held her up to his eye level and they laughed at something by the bar. He’d better get over there- if the giant was making moves on her he’d not have a chance against that guy. Veetch struggled forward as the song ended and several couples all crowded in his way.

🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇🦇

Tech and Una walked over to Choy and Wrecker. “Echo?” Wrecker asked, confused, “He wasn’t with us.”

“You two looked great out there,” Choy smiled at her friend and Tech.

“Yeah. Una looked great,” Wrecker laughed.

“You should get a picture together,” Choy said as Tech shot Wrecker another glare. “There’s a holo booth right over there,” Choy pointed at a curtained box nearby. There were two pairs of feet visible below the curtain.

Una and Tech glanced at each other. Tech tipped his head that way and gave her a small smile.

“I have some credits, my treat,” Choy said as she walked over with them. The couple inside exited, laughing at their strip of flimsy. Tech held the curtain open for Una and helped her protect her fontage as they folded their tall frames inside the booth. Choy fished a credit out of her bra and looked up to see a familiar, bearded face watching as she pulled it free from her cleavage. Veetch, she remembered, noting his slack jawed gawking.

“We are ready, Choy,” Tech said inside the booth.

“Alright,” Choy said, locking eyes with Veetch and slipping the credit in the booth’s pay slot. She slid her hand down the side of the booth as Veetch held one hand out to her, his other behind his back.

“Would you still like to dance with me, er…”

“Choy, short for Echoy’la,” she said, taking his hand. His expression showed some surprise and concern and he asked, “Are you Mandalorian? That’s a Mandalorian word.”

“No, your brothers named me and it just stuck I guess.”

“Well I hope you aren’t lost or sad anymore,” he said, bringing his other hand to cover hers. She glanced at it and noticed three of his fingers were shortened, missing the tips and scarred. He quickly withdrew that hand and looked a little hesitant hoping she wasn’t disgusted by his injury.

She stepped into his space more and smiled reassuringly at him, “I’m happy right now.” She found his scarred hand with her free one and grasped it, holding his hands down and to the sides as she inched closer. She could feel the expected mix of emotions off of him as well as something else. Looking at each of his eyes in turn and down his nose to his mouth she asked, “How about that dance, trooper?” Gratitude. It was gratitude to something big.

He let out the breath he’d been holding and moved back pulling her forward towards the dance floor. “Yeah let’s dance,” he grinned through his whiskers. She noticed a discolored darker patch on one of his cheeks. He led her out to a space in the throng of dancing bodies and turned around. Choy was already bouncing to the beat and shimmied right up into his space. She had noticed his boots had some impressive spikes which she stayed mindful of. He kept a modest distance facing her, only reaching for her waist as he noticed more single troopers start circling and angling themselves to cut in. As he put a hand on her waist the music faded and a bell-like tone sounded out cueing a slow and romantic song. Veetch looked up from his hand and at her face to gauge her willingness to slow dance with him.

Choy had felt the attention of several men around her. She subtly angled herself away from each in turn and drew closer to Veetch feeling a flash of possessiveness from him. He put his hand on her waist and, as she placed her hands on his shoulders, the song ended. Several couples and all the single guys except for one left the dance floor as tones rang out resonating with etheric and melancholic lilted vocals. She felt him hesitate and his body language offered to leave the dance floor. She circled her hands around the back of his neck and looked up at him through her lashes.

He softened his gaze on her and brought his other hand to her waist, pulling her closer. As close as the stiff crinoline petticoat would allow. He swayed her around a little, turning in a slow circle. She noticed the solo clone out in the middle of the dance floor moving in exaggerated sensual movements with a fan in his hand. He was absolutely in his element she felt. It made her smile.

She felt Veetch’s hands explore the curve of her back, her waist and slide down till they hit the flare of the skirt’s stiff structure. Deflected from her hips, his hands roamed and caressed back up. His thumbs followed the corset’s boning up to the cups of her breasts. He hesitated there and curled his fingers into her back. He stared at her like she'd vanish and he’d never see her again. She slid her hands from around his shoulders and down to his strong chest. She could feel his heart beating and a pull of want, a craving for more warmth from her, and a tiny flicker of dread of this ending and coldness.

She decided to indulge him and pushed her hands under his cowl, finding the bare skin of his shoulders. Veetch squeezed her more, his thumb testing the plush give of the curve of her breast. Focusing energy through her hands she willed it to infuse Veetch with a deep comfort and heat. Veetch’s eyes widened as he felt this change inside him and saw a glow around Choy. He paused his hands, he was confused as to where to take this. “Are you-“ he began to ask then looked past her.

Choy felt a presence close behind her. “Mind if I cut in,” a voice almost growled.
