based on this post about the Ahsoka show continually using plot points from my fic

@seleneisrising said that I should make a bingo card for Ahsoka Season 2 and I said "I don't know if you're joking but I'm definitely taking you seriously"

...I may update this as the trailers for the show come out so uh. stay tuned?

[jessicas-pi]

if I had a nickel for every time a show came out that gave the aforementioned canon character more screen time and more of an actual character which I entirely ignored in favor of writing him as a stubbornly optimistic guy who talks entirely too much and copes with his terrible life and the (emotional or literal) absence of his parents by having a cheerfully morbid sense of humor about everything, I would now have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice!

if i had a nickel for every time that I decided to put a canon character in my fic despite the fact that they had under thirty seconds of screen time, no lines, and no established personality, and also that character was a young boy who would be 15 years old at the time when the fic is set, i would now have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice!

hmmm ok here's my guesses

the Mortis Gods are going to become plot-relevant but in a weird way that involves a lot of petty family drama

Someone's going to fight a dark-side version of themself

Someone is not who we think they are

Ezra gets to dress up fancy for a formal event on Coruscant and/or has to wear Mandalorian armor and it's like. really hot

Callback to the "I am no Jedi" line from Ahsoka

hey. david felony. why are you stealing my plot points.

[jessicas-pi]

convinced jlb can't write an uninteresting because in the first chapter of 'the lovely and the lost', a guy challenges three guys who started getting a little violent to a dance battle

[jessicas-pi]

Reasons everyone should read The Lovely And The Lost by Jennifer Lynn Barnes

It's written by the same lady who wrote The Inheritance Games but doesn't get NEARLY as much hype even though it's way better (imo)

Main character is NOT part of a love triangle

There's!!! Dogs!!!!!

Main character has an adopted brother named after the patron saint of hopeless causes who takes his namesake very seriously. He's hilarious. In his introductory scene, he challenges some bullies to a dance-off. He's amazing

one character is referred to as "Broody McSmirkpants"

absolutely zero rich boys

there is admittedly one (1) "bad boy" type character (the aforementioned Broody McSmirkpants) but he's not rich or snotty or full-of-himself

I WANT AT LEAST TWO SEQUELS BUT IT GOT NONE AND I'M SAD ABOUT IT (psst if we all read it maybe she'll write another)

[jessicas-pi]

1) I LOVE THAT, it's canon, I have spoken

2) ....korkie. it's. it's literally your own birth certificate. i'm pretty sure you don't have to break into a building to see it. (shhh it's totally necessary for cousin bonding experience reasons)

3) kryze family chat is like

Korkie: THIS IS WHY YOU DIDN'T WANT ME TO GROW A BEARD?? BECAUSE OF KENOBI???

[Bo-Katan has added Obi-Wan Kenobi to the chat]

Satine: Because Kenobi is living proof that beards don't improve someone's looks? Yes, actually.

[Obi-Wan Kenobi has left the chat]

Korkie: THAT IS NOT WHAT I MEANT AND YOU KNOW IT

Adonai: idk, Dad has a point Adonai: the resemblance is uncanny

[Bo-Katan has added Obi-Wan Kenobi to the chat]

Adonai: [screenshot of a SpaceTumblr post comparing photos of Korkie to photos of Obi-Wan at the same age]

Satine: You're perilously close to losing favorite grandchild privileges, young man

[Obi-Wan Kenobi has left the chat]

4) LOLLL

5) Satine asks Bo-Katan to do some kind of diplomatic teamup work for Clan Kryze with a Jedi and Bo-Katan soundly refuses. She's taking NO RISKS. Unless it's Kenobi, Skywalker, or Bridger (they're already taken) or Tano (she's worked with her before with no issues) Bo-Katan is NOT doing it. She's SEEN what happens.

6) oh totally!!

7) After the one-word reply from Kanan, Ezra's instant response is to take his panic party to his buddy Luke, hoping against hope that Luke somehow knows about this and will tell him that Kanan is totally just messing with him.

Unfortunately, Luke's response is just "...huh. yeah that checks out."

OK OK so yeah, we all know how much opportunity for hilarity there is with an Obitine-style year-on-the-run No Order 66 AU for Sabezra. But have you considered the potential for an Obitine-style No Order 66 AU for Sabezra where the year-on-the-run was fifteen years ago and Ezra is now sent on a diplomatic mission to Mandalore, complete with a Skywalker tagalong of his own?

Hear me out on this.

The Skywalker, of course, is Luke. Luke and Ezra have been friends for ages. Luke was there for Ezra's phase of being tragically sad about missing Sabine. He knows they've got history. And, like his father before him, Luke has concluded that the real goal of the mission is actually to get his old buddy back together with his mandalorian gf.

Ezra is very aware of this. He just knows that Luke going along was Anakin's idea. (It's a miracle the guy's still on the Council. He's spent three decades doing nothing but incite all kinds of shenanigans. This is only the latest incident in a long list of mischief.)

Regardless, this is going to be awkward.

So, Ezra is mentally preparing himself for all kinds of potentialities as to how this reunion could go. As it turns out, it goes unexpectedly well—Luke's winking and eyebrow wiggles aside, that is.

And despite the initial awkwardness, Ezra decides it's nice to see Sabine again. She's changed; of course she has. She's a decade and a half older. She's inherited leadership of her clan, adopted a kid, and even recently been elected as the current ruler of Mandalore. But underneath it all, she's the same old Sabine, who told him about the constellations of the Mandalore sky and pestered him until he showed her the basics of lightsaber combat.

Sabine is equally happy to see Ezra again. He's changed; of course he has. He's been knighted and he has a different lightsaber—and also a beard, which is kinda hot but whatever—and he carries himself with a confidence he seemed to lack as a Padawan. But underneath it all, he's the same old Ezra, and all day, she fights the urge to smile at him in a way that nobody could misunderstand.

The Jedi are invited to a formal dinner that night, where Sabine introduces them to her adopted daughter and heir, a 14-year-old girl with an excess of attitude. She's not fond of Jedi. She tells Ezra so, to his face.

She's very opinionated.

Opinionated and full of attitude and sassy and fourteen and dark-haired and blue-eyed and Luke has just come up with a very interesting theory—

I'm never unhearing any of these, thank u kazzy

also, one more contribution from Makenna:

she floats down the aisle like a Dairy Queen

You ever hear something wrong and never get it straight in your head ever again?

Yeah so one time Makenna was singing along to Long Live and she sang spaghetti instead of confetti in the bridge and I have never sung it right ever since

goddess of mischief: baby edition

there was one time when they were children she transformed herself into a snake and she knew anakin loved snakes so he went to pick up the snake to admire it and she transformed back into herself and she was like BLAAGH IT'S ME and she stabbed him, she was eight at the time

i didn't forget about this btw, I got about 1500 words in and realized (a) this is definitely meant for my The Space Family, But... AO3 notfic collection, and (b) I actually do not have a functional plot for this AU. so. we're working on that bit

(i should be working on my fic for may the 4th) hey guys wanna hear my new SWR AU idea???

[jessicas-pi]

haha yeah totally 😆 there's definitely not an unexpected amount of angst awaiting you hehehe

SURPRISE FIC!!!

it's short and I spewed it all out in a rush but I hope you like it :)

Summary:

Sabine's never been the kind of girl to be in denial.

Not to herself, at least.

look i'm not saying that (1) the og idea in my merfolk au of sabine being an amazon and (2) the fact that i've been listening to the Wonder Woman soundtrack on the way home from work (as one does) combined in my head into a kind of crossover AU, but I am saying that in the climax of Wonder Woman (2017), Diana's closest companion who has been fighting by her side makes the choice to sacrifice himself while separated from his team in a ship in the sky taking out the most immediate threat to them all in the process and leaving behind a prized item of his with her while she is trapped on the ground and can do nothing but watch him disappear in a flash of light and yknow who else did that—

[jessicas-pi]

I AM DEEPLY HONORED KAZZY this is, in fact, the vibe I was going for in several of my aus

In Skywalkers apart I can imagine the chaos the season 1 Ezra. Sabine and Leia cause both fir the empire and the rebellion

every ghost crew n skywalkers meeting or teamup just looks like:

it's listening to long live on repeat hours again

[jessicas-pi]

I was gonna just make a post about the scene in The Shuttle where the one guy is dying of typhoid fever and Dunstan helps him pull through by reminding him of the wife and kids who he loves and needs to stay alive for, and how that "she's a good girl" "keep that in your mind while you fight this out" is honestly an incredible bit of foreshadowing for Dunstan's thread of the storyline. And that WOULD'VE been the post!

But then I reread that chapter and like. Dunstan saying who knows what would've become of them (himself included by subtext) if not for Betty. The old lady exclaiming "God bless her, 'Merican or no 'Merican!'" and Dunstan agreeing and repeating that to himself multiple times a day, that the fact that she's not an englishwoman doesn't matter to him anymore. Her literally answering the question of "what would she DO—" a question he'd never dared ask her, but she answered anyway and went above and beyond. His presence having the same effect on the people around him that Betty does on the people of Stornham. Dunstan himself remarking that even though they were worlds apart, he was closer to her than he ever was before. The chapter ending with Dunstan feeling optimistic and hopeful and not like the world is against him! THE NEXT CHAPTER STARTING WITH BETTY ALSO ACKNOWLEDGING HOW CLOSE SHE FEELS TO HIM AND TAKING DELIGHT AT THE MENTAL IMAGE OF HIM WAITING BY PEOPLE'S BEDSIDES AND HELPING THEM.

No other couple in all of literature was doing it like them.
