#<- i am going to post more stuff about them eheheheheheheh

[ribelleribelle]

talking about my wip/go to fantasy for when im bored in class because i have nothing to do

it doesn't really have a name, but it's about 3 flatmates who are kinda broke and in their 20s (except for steve but i'll get to him in a moment), one of them's rock band, and the sheer chaos that they are constantly in.

we have:

Seb (sebastian) - he/him, gay, plays guitar, is a complete disaster and a total mood, looks like a metalhead but listens to all rock music, really ("i don't see any difference, rock is rock"). he's a bit of a dumbass but not that stupid and really cares about his friends (even if he seldom shows it). he works in a record shop since he dropped out of university, now he is in a band.

Vivian - she/her, maybe bisexual?? she doesn't know (i don't know either i haven't decided yet), aspiring stylist/movie costume designer, sleep deprived and coffee dependant, sarcastic sense of humour, can't stand her flatmates, actually a nice person if you aren't seb or his bandmates (except eve).

Steve - he/him, the most middle-aged-dad-literally-just-some-guy ever, ghost. yeah, he's a ghost, he died 30 years ago (in the dullest way you can imagine) and since then he haunts the house. not that he cares about all that haunting stuff tho, he's just here to read his newspapers and chill. he can't really chill though because he has to hear the band practice and vivian argue with seb every. single. day.

then there's the Haunters (because of steve haunting the house), seb's band, and we have:

David - he/him, trans and bi, singer, he and seb were best friends in middle school and high school, they were inseparable until he got a girlfriend (who looked suspiciously a lot like seb) and went in the same university as her. when they split up, like 2-3 years later, he realized uni wasn't for him and went to find seb again. seb is in love with him since they were 16.

Ash - they/them, aroace, bass player, met seb in the record shop and have been friends for a couple of years. they're the youngest member of the band and has been basically adopted by them. tiny and angry, has a collection of sunglasses and gets bored easily because of no attention span whatsoever (they're literally me except i don't play bass).

Eve - she/they, lesbian, drummer, vivian's best friend (who doesn't approve of her being in the band tho) and fashion icon. can't drive but loves to and doesn't let anyone touch her car. she is the one who knows seb and david the least, so she's constantly going insane over their always present sexual tension and obvious mutual untold love.

basically the main story is: vivian wants to hold a party to show how cool she is and how good her clothes are so that she can get a job and start her career as a designer, meanwhile david arrives unannounced to reunite with seb after 2 or 3 years since they last saw each other. they decide to put together their old high school band again, ash joins them and later so does eve (who met the band kinda by accident). they start playing together and they like it so much they manage to convince vivian to let them play at her party. while her, eve and ash organize the party and try to figure out all the problems and trouble they find along the way (steve tries to help too), seb and david have to put back together their frienship by being extremely gay and even more oblivious with each other. the day of the party comes and everything is set up (more or less), the guests are all there and vivian is confident. all the attention should be on her creations but when the haunters start playing they steal the spotlight with an amazing performance and the frontman and guitarist being unintentionally very homoerotic. the tension between the two finally breaks after they kiss on stage and they Realize a LOT of things. but the show must go on, they keep playing while ash is unimpressed (they saw that coming) and eve is SHOCKED (they didn't), but not for long because steve arrives to see what the hell is going on in the living room and he's VERY angry because he just wants to read but there's too much noise, so he freaks out all the guests. they all run away, stuff catches fire, it's a MESS, and vivian is FURIOUS. just before she's about to commit 4 murders in a row (not 5 because steve is already dead) seb and david escape and there's like a wholehearted conversation about their feelings (spoiler: they're been super in love with each other since before david got a gf but didn't realize it) also they make out a little??? idk i'm too aroace for this. meanwhile the rest of the band is also safe from vivian's rage because a woman approaches her and tells her how cool this whole performance was (clearly thought it was fake) and offers her a job. everyone gets an happy ending but the story WILL go on because the hunters are gonna keep playing and maybe they'll get famous and vivian too, who knows? (i don't)

.....doodles under the cut bc i wrote already too much :]

if you can read my handwriting ily <3

[innocent-until-proven-geeky]

for the character thing; cody, obi wan, and ur oc pova (is that how you spell it?)

YEAHYEAHYEAH (also that is how you spell it) I see we’re doing the whole family and I LOVE it.

I was in the middle of answering this and then I went to find my favorite episodes and Tumblr ate whatever I was working on sooooo I start over.

Cody

Why I like them: Sass. Fandom’s interpretation as Ultimate Big Brother (behind Alpha-17, of course). Mysterious scar. And he’s pretty.

Why I don’t: Honestly? The fact that the clones are slave soldiers, and the fact that fandom tends to give racially biased interpretations of the clones (I’m guilty of this too). Nothing to do with Cody himself, honestly, which isn’t to say he’s perfect or anything, I find him to be rough around the edges but who wouldn’t be in his shoes?

Favorite episode: s1e16 The Hidden Enemy. This one is probably on my top 5 list even without Cody. But guys. GUYS. “Hey there, Slick. Gun’s empty.” WHAT COULD BE MORE ICONIC?

Favorite film: Okay technically these questions were “episode/scene if a movie” and “season/movie” but because he’s in both I’m gonna have to go with a film for this one. Revenge of the Sith. Listen, I can’t watch ROTS without crying but damn if I don’t love Cody in it anyway. The lightsaber scene will ALWAYS get me. (Season 1 gets an honorable mention.)

Favorite line: Uh. Well. Okay so. “Hey there, Slick. Gun’s empty.” *holds up mag* LISTEN GUYS I LOVE THAT ONE. Although he also gets points for “I’m putting you in charge of this one.” I don’t know if season 1 just has a lot of iconic Cody lines, or if it’s because I’ve been watching that season in Spanish lately.

Favorite outfit: ... his armor? No actually though, I love his Phase II armor. Phase I is cool but Phase II has the cool ventilators. And how can I not make fun of his antenna?

OTP: Codywan. Ideally in a post-war fix-it or semi-fix-it where there isn’t a huge power imbalance, but I’ve been known to read Codywan stuff that takes place during the war, especially before I was as cognizant of the power imbalance as I am now.

BroTP: Cody and Rex. I’m sure y’all saw that one coming. I mean it’s CODY and REX, I’m pretty sure that’s everyone’s BroTP!

Headcanon: So this might be a good time to mention that I headcanon everyone everywhere as autistic. Everyone is autistic. Cody is autistic. Okay actually though, I headcanon that Cody has a great deal of anxiety. He handles it well, and he has a support system, but given his entire life, and the fact that he’s a Marshal Commander, and further more the headcanon we collectively have that Obi-Wan insists on promoting Cody to get out of paperwork because Cody deserves it, he’s probably anxious. And man, same.

Unpopular opinion: Do I have one? Tbh I don’t know how to determine whether an opinion about a character is unpopular. How do we define unpopular? Do we mean just like, not commonly known or shared? Because if so, I once again raise for your consideration: everyone is autistic, therefore Cody is autistic.

A wish: For Disney to retcon Order 66. Barring that, for the Bad Batch show to give him a happy ending involving the removal of his chip and the opportunity to live happily ever after with Obi-Wan on Tatooine. (Is the Bad Batch show going to be live-action like Kenobi? Because PLEASE give me Temuera Morrison playing Cody in both.)

An oh-gosh-please-don’t-ever-happen: Don’t laugh. Order 66. Listen I KNOW it’s canon but that doesn’t mean I have to like it!

5 words to best describe them: Salty. Snarky. Protective. Competent. Thoughtful.

My nickname for them: honestly, just Codes or Kote. Not much to get out of Cody, really.

Obi-Wan:

Why I like them: HE’S PRETTY. And sassy. There’s a pattern here.

Why I don’t: I don’t think there’s ever a time in canon that he acknowledges all the issues with the clones’ existence. He does in fanon, which I can appreciate, but canonically he’s like, “ah yes, we bought 3.2 million humans. We’ll just stick them in this war I guess.” Also frankly he’s a bit oblivious, bordering on daft, especially considering he’s the Negotiator, I mean he KEPT HIS LAST NAME when he went into hiding. I still love him though.

Favorite scene: That deleted “good girl, Boga” scene, which just hits different when you’ve read Master & Apprentice and know how much he loves varactyls. I don’t care that it’s deleted. It’s my favorite. (Plus you’ll probably like this better than my favorite episode, which is the Kadavo episode.)

Favorite film: Attack of the Clones. Listen listen listen, he has a lot of good moments in TCW, but hands down it’s AOTC.

Favorite line: Eheheheheheh. Eheheheheheheh. Eheheheheheheheheheheheheheheh. “Hello there!”

Favorite outfit: Was gonna make a comment about Jedi robes but then I remembered his stolen Mandalorian armor in The Lawless and *swoons* that’s one pretty outfit.

OTP: ... also Codywan. Again, ideally in an AU with less of a power imbalance, I mean it doesn’t matter how much he promotes Cody, canonically he’s still a Jedi and Cody is still a slave and I just don’t love that but I live for Codywan. Domestic Codywan? *chef’s kiss*

BroTP: probably Obi-Wan and Anakin. Maybe Obi and Padmé? Idk I have Thoughts about Anakin, he’s a problem child, but not much can top the agony in “You were my brother, Anakin! I loved you!” (I like whump, okay?) Also just. Can you imagine the Negotiator just being buds with Senator Amidala? Helping each other with domestic disputes and speeches? Working on a Clone Rights Bill? Yeah. Can it be a broT3? What if we just don’t have Anakin and Padmé dating? It’s such an unhealthy relationship. That’s it, broT3 is Anakin, Padmé, and Obi-Wan.

Headcanon: ACE!OBI ACE!OBI ACE!OBI!!!!!! Also,,, autistic!Obi. I know I know, but actually genuinely @fromryloth-tocorellia has some pretty good autistic!Obi-Wan stuff, including Obi-Wan being semi-verbal, low-verbal, and non-verbal. Autistic characters is a hill I will die on, and Obi-Wan is a character I happen to enjoy projecting on (oops). Plus, if I headcanon Cody and Obi-Wan as autistic, then the entire Ibonek family is autistic, and I love that.

Unpopular opinion: The only reason Obi-Wan “left Anakin to die” was because there was nothing he could safely do to help. When I was taking first aid classes, one of the first things they told us was that, unless there is no danger to yourself, you do not help. You wait for actual first responders to show up. If Obi-Wan had tried to help Anakin, either Anakin would have killed him or Obi-Wan would also have been severely burned. And if he had stayed, he may have been caught by Palpatine. Is it sad that he left? Absolutely. Heartbreaking. I don’t think it was a GOOD decision. But he didn’t just leave him to die; there was no other safe option. There were no good decisions here. I have a lot of thoughts about this, I have half-written essays on Discord about it, feel free to ask further questions.

A wish: For Qui-Gon’s dying words to be retconned. I know I wrote that post about how his dying words were full of trust in Obi-Wan and I stand by that, but that doesn’t mean Obi-Wan realized that, or that they were a good choice.

An oh-gosh-please-don’t-ever-happen: For the Kenobi show to be sad. It’s not allowed. Obi-Wan can have one fight, and that’s it, he is happy as a clam on Tatooine because he DESERVES GOODNESS DAMNIT.

5 words to best describe them: Kind. Soft. Warm. Compassionate. Daft.

My nickname for them: Obi

Pova:

What I like about them: They’re my OC and I can do whatever I want with them!

What I don’t: They’re my OC and I’m in charge of them.

(Okay actually though:)

What I like about them: Nonverbal. Pink. Perpetually grumpy.

What I don’t: perpetually grumpy. Seriously how did that happen? Why did I do that? Why is the only time they AREN’T grumpy around Rex or when shopping with Obi-Wan?

Favorite scene: The adoption scene in “Observations on the Nature of Cody Ibonek”.

Favorite work: Probably “Observations”. It’s the first one that’s entirely from Pova’s point of view.

Favorite line: “He was making fun of my stimming. I was already having a bad day. I punched him. It’s whatever.” POVA NO. (Pova yes.)

Favorite outfit: Uh. Haven’t given it much thought yet? Haven’t done many character designs, although fromryloth-tocorellia did one for me and it’s my icon at @ver-writes-things if you want to check that out? Also my Halloween costume is gonna be a super basic cosplay of them and I’ll probably post that.

OTP: None. First of all, the oldest I’ve written them so far is 14. Second, I don’t have any other characters their age yet. Maybe the six kids from the Gathering episode survived? But even then I probably wouldn’t ship it. And I mean, not every character needs a romantic ship.

BroTP: Either Pova and Rex or Pova and Luke. Rex is like big brother/cool uncle, and Luke is like little brother. As of right now, though, definitely Rex, as I haven’t written much of anything with Luke.

Headcanon: I don’t have any because all my headcanons about this character are CANON! Man I love having OCs.

Unpopular opinion: to quote Paige Layle on TikTok: “Stop using the term low functioning autistics when you really mean that they’re just nonverbal. And nonverbal autistics still have a lot to say, they just have a hard time talking.” Basically, I’m certain that as this AU gains traction, Pova’s gonna start getting flak from readers for being nonverbal. It hasn’t happened yet, and maybe I’m just being pessimistic, but just in case someone needs the reminder: No. Stop now. Pova’s autistic. And nonverbal. And not a savant (man I fucking hate that trope). But they are a capable Jedi and, with Cody and Obi, developed a very functional sign language comprised of Jedi hand signals, trade sign language (like from episode 5 of the Mandalorian, that the Tuskens use?), and ARC signals. There will be NO functioning labels on this AU, and Pova has and will continue to have PLENTY to say. If you have a problem you know where the door is.

A wish: For everyone to love my kiddo as much as I do!

An oh-gosh-please-don’t-ever-happen: Listen Pova is gonna have a good and happy life. There is trauma and there is bullying and there is heartache but they are going to live a good life with two AMAZING dads. So there is no “don’t ever happen” because it won’t.

5 words to best describe them: Sneaky. Quiet. Excitable. Compassionate. Snarky.

My nickname for them: Kiddo or my kiddo.

[amicicidalgambler]

this log i talked about then forgot to post

nad and vriska talk about mind control and then get derailed by talking about her first mate then get back on track

trolljacksparrow

hey so like

do you feel peoples thinkpans as like

another sense like

could you guess howw far awway someone wwas based on their mind?

amicicidalgambler

Yeah. It's kind of hard to explain how it feels 8ut if I know the space I can tell pretty much exactly where they are.

trolljacksparrow

right??? and could you like

did you evver hit them solely because you kneww their minds wwere there

i mean

okay you dont gun

but like

wwith.............dice?? a magnificent hat???

amicicidalgambler

I mean, yeah, it's good for am8ushes. And if I could control them I could just keep them out of the fight entirely.

trolljacksparrow

wwhat do you havve em do? is it easier if they on some subconcious levval wwanna do it?

levvle

levvel

amicicidalgambler

When I was younger it did. 8ut now I can *make* them su8conciously think they want to do it. I could do anything from making them walk into an attack to making them fall asleep depending on how much I wanted to 8other though.

trolljacksparrow

can /you/ tell if youre making them or not?

amicicidalgambler

Yes. I've taken control of people 8y accident in other ways 8ut the su8tle shit takes more concentr8ion.

It feels totally different, too.

trolljacksparrow

howw does it feel?

amicicidalgambler

...This is a weird comparison 8ut you know how you can wirelessly connect your phone to some shit to control it? It feels like that. I can feel that I'm connected and what they're doing and where they are and I have it as a second output.

While the su8tle shit is more like 8lending my pan with someone else's and 8eing the intrusive thought fairy.

trolljacksparrow

sorry i got a lil bit distracted

huuuuh

INTRUSIVVE THOUGHT FAIRYL O L

and yeah its a reasonable comparison

howw do you unblend your pan, did you evver  mistake someone elses thought for your owwn?

amicicidalgambler

Not really. I'm still in control, it's just a different approach to taking it. In practice it's pro8a8ly more like disguising my control than actually 8lending our pan space 8ut that's...what it feels like when I'm trying to do it?

trolljacksparrow

right, man howw the fuck do you multitask wwhen youre controlling sevveral people though do you like....can your mind just do more stuff at once than other people?

amicicidalgambler

May8e? I wouldn't know how to tell. 8ut also once I get more than two people that's where su8tle control is the most useful. I can just give vague orders like "Attack that person" and they'll each handle the details themselves. The only time I'd have to puppet them is if I need someone to do something they don't know how to do.

Multitasking was also something I trained for a lot.

trolljacksparrow

thats fanscinating

howw does one train for multitasking?

amicicidalgambler

Trying to partner dance with someone I'm controlling.

I had a few people who were willing to volunteer for it.

trolljacksparrow

...howw could anyone vvolunteer?

amicicidalgambler

I mean they volunteered to 8e controlled in the first place. There weren't a lot of people who would do it 8ut there was enough. 8ut most of it was my first m8 8efore she died. She was a psionic and we helped each other with our powers a lot.

trolljacksparrow

wwhat happened to her?

amicicidalgambler

Died in com8at, nothing surprising.

It was unfortun8 8ut 8eing a spotter to a stellar-class psionic stole 20 sweeps off my life so at least she didn't die that young.

trolljacksparrow

spotter?

im sorry she died man

amicicidalgambler

It just means someone who keeps someone safe while they're trying to pull some ridiculous maneuver off. 8ut thanks? She went down how she wanted to go down, that's as much as any8ody can ask for.

trolljacksparrow

yeah, yeah it is...

she sounds fun

partner dancing like that is honestly like....the unsettling and yet slightly romantic aesthetic that you like

amicicidalgambler

You would've liked her. She had a deep love for explosions and wore several packs of glowsticks with everything.

8ut fuck yeah it is.

trolljacksparrow

SHIT THE GLOWWSTICKS ARE SUCH A GOOD IDEA

.......i cant believve you havve a type ://P

amicicidalgambler

Noooooooo.

Shhhhhhhhut up.

trolljacksparrow

ehehehehehehehe

wwaggles eyebrowws

amicicidalgambler

You put those down right now.

trolljacksparrow

raaaaaaaaises them

amicicidalgambler

Wrong. Put them down.

trolljacksparrow

nevverrrrrrrrr

amicicidalgambler

I didn't do anything to deserve this.

trolljacksparrow

you wwere exceptionally gay vvriska

amicicidalgambler

I was *not*.

trolljacksparrow

uh huuuuuh

amicicidalgambler

Led was a friend.

I mean Elodie. Elodie was a friend.

Fuck.

trolljacksparrow

I SEE NICKNAAAAME

amicicidalgambler

Listen.

trolljacksparrow

listennniiiiing

amicicidalgambler

She was a *psionic* named *Elodie*.

trolljacksparrow

still thats such a cute nickname

amicicidalgambler

She started typing mine as Circuit.

trolljacksparrow

adorable????????

amicicidalgambler

Seriously.

trolljacksparrow

absolutely

amicicidalgambler

It's all on her, though.

trolljacksparrown

uh uh

'led'

amicicidalgambler

I have never said that in my life.

trolljacksparrow

uh huuuuuuh

amicicidalgambler

I'm completely innocent here.

trolljacksparrow

you liiiiiiiiked her huh

amicicidalgambler

You're using my 8s against me.

trolljacksparrow

C//:

amicicidalgambler

I don't deseeeeeeeerve this.

...As much as I love talking a8out my powers and 8eing accused of liking my old first m8 too much why were you asking in the first place?

trolljacksparrow

...good question

listen let me just

scroll up to remember

AH YEAH

the godtier shit wworked........eerily similar to that so  i just like

wwanted a perspectivve of someone wwho is used to that shit

amicicidalgambler

Right. Yours practically was a form of mindscourge shit.

Perspective a8out anything specific though or just in general?

trolljacksparrow

wwas it?

just like...i dont knoww howw to begin explaining an entire neww sense, like, added to the touch/smell/sight/wwhatevver

amicicidalgambler

Yeah, it's hard. I mean I've had it my whole life and I still can 8arely explain it. 8ut yes, pretty much everything you told me a8out it reminded me of mindscourge shit, except more specific.

trolljacksparrow

howw do you "see" the thinkpans?

amicicidalgambler

It's like light? 8ut not visual lights. Which makes no sense.

trolljacksparrow

yes

YES!

SAME

dimmed/brighter based on the intensity of their hope

amicicidalgambler

Mine are. Not colored 8ecause I can't fucking see them 8ut I can tell them apart like they were. Especially if I know the person.

trolljacksparrow

yeah like, yeah, i mean i dont physically see them unless i focused on one person and then theyre vvideogame-highlighted wwhich is

if thats a reflection of my subconciousness im just

anywway, yeah, and it doesnt turn off?

amicicidalgambler

I don't get that 8ut looking at someone I'm controlling is still...different.

8ecause I'm connected to them.

trolljacksparrow

howw do you feel the connection?

amicicidalgambler

I mean, like I said they feel like another output. And I can feel however their pan feels.

So seeing them is like

God, what's that picture.

And where did that other dog come from. Who is he.

trolljacksparrow

"trust no one not even yourself"?

FUCK

SHIT

HAHAHAHAH

BEAUTIFUL

amicicidalgambler

IT FEELS LIKE ME!

8UT NOT ME.

trolljacksparrow

wwhat a great descritpion

amicicidalgambler

You know how in every action movie they say your weapon is an ~extension of yourself~ or whatever. It's like that.

trolljacksparrow

flkflgjfdgljkfdl

HIGHFIVVE YOUR WWEAPON

amicicidalgambler

EXACTLY!!!!!!!!

THEY *ARE* MY WEAPON!

trolljacksparrow

beautiful

amicicidalgambler

This is the entirety of what 8eing a mindscourge is like.

trolljacksparrow

surprising amounts of flailing

amicicidalgambler

Yes, it's a lot of flailing, and that's why we're all Like That, it's to compens8.

trolljacksparrow

ovverdramatic?

amicicidalgambler

And edgy. All of us.

All the good ones, anyways.
