ANNOUNCEMENT!
I have made a Ko-fi page! :3 You can find it right here. If you like my content and want to support me, feel free to give a little donation. It will do a lot to help me! With classes starting again soon and face to face classes now becoming mandatory for law schools, I'll be mostly using the money I can earn there for commutting to the big city where my school is. So thank you all to those who will donate! ^_^
the slightly unsettling realization that your ex-boss is also a person with wants and desires, and that those wants and desires are closer to your own than you might previously have imagined. aka "why does DJ Octavio get to be at the Grand Festival can you imagine how the octolings must feel about this"
My take on the Inquisitor number is that it's completely arbitrary; I know there's a sourcebook somewhere that says it's based on initiation order but that's just flagrantly Not True, unless you expect me to believe that Trilla was the second one inducted. (Always take lore details where the source is just one obscure sourcebook with a HUGE grain of salt.)
It's not a rank thing either—no way does the Inquisitorius have any strictly defined hierarchy, because that's antithetical to the whole point, Palps wants them squabbling with each other so they don't become a threat. Reva (the youngest, who definitely didn't get initiated as a full Inquisitor at twelve years old and yet has the super low number of Third) obviously doesn't have authority over Fifth.
So my point is: the numbers mean nothing, they're completely arbitrary and not assigned in order, but the Grand Inquisitor doesn't tell THEM whether or not they mean anything. Does having a lower number indicate higher status? Probably not...unless? They're always glancing at each other and wondering and driving knives into each others' backs about it.
And that's the point, because the overall management style of the Inquisitorius is just summed up perfectly by that cage fight in Barriss's first episode: the Sith turning a bunch of captive surviving Jedi against each other and making them fight each other to earn the right to keep living on their terms.

silly stuff has been happening insys and it's made me curious. reblog and put in the tags what your weirdest/funniest fictive relationship is (bonus points if it's cross-source and/or a polycule) because its genuinely really funny to us
(When you're a Jedi Padawan and there's this one dark side guy who is projecting on you like crazy and he's like this is my favorite this kid is just like me for real this is my most specialist princess who I'm going to turn into my mini-me with a bunch of fucked up mindgames and you're like holy shit I have got to get out of here this is so messed up I want my real master back.)
