I headcanon that all of Yoda's finest teacups were made by younglings

In fact most masters of the order's finest teacups were made during crèche crafting time when the kids were learning pottery.

Tbf she has, according to The Lore about Togruta headbands, killed a carnivorous giant predator that regularly decimates entire villages, at fourteen, as her coming of age hunt.

Granted, this is legends, but...

damn. or she found a loophole

Image description below the cut!

ID: A digital comic of Shaak Ti leaning on a library desk, arms crossed, with a cup of boba tea in her right hand. She has a relaxed, slightly amused look on her face and is speaking to Jocasta Nu who is on the other side of the desk. Master Nu has one arm resting on the desk and the other hand on her hip. She is smiling and has one eyebrow raised at Shaak Ti. Shaak Ti asks, "Hey girl. Got anything on sentience qualifications or cloning ethics?" Master Nu replies, "Do you even have to ask?"

Hypothetically, do you reckon that for the younglings that grew up in the Jedi Temple would do like ‘your mum’ jokes except instead it would be ‘your master’?

Like I can fully imagine a random youngling going up to their friend and telling a Your Master joke, and running away giggling menacingly

IMAGINE A YOUNGLING SAYING THAT TO LIKE OBI-WAN YODA OR ANY OTHER COUNCIL MEMBER THOUGH

I feel like depending on which council member they’d tell it to, they’d either get a laugh or get banished from the order, there’s no inbetween

It would be so funny though

my favorite character flaw to give the jedi is nepotism

they just are too social. the grandpadawan of your lineage sibling you've barely ever seen has caused some trouble? better bet your ass some jedi is gonna bend over backwards to nepotism away any lasting consequences. they all have blackmail on each other and they all are not afraid to use it. it's the real reason why the worst punishment you ever see someone recieve is helping out in the archives. you try to pass anything more and obscure Master Gbblurgg Ginkgagg who has been presumed dead for decades suddenly descends in a rain of fire and highly incriminating holos from that one ill-advised bar-hopping tour on Corellia you did with them during your own padawanhood

Do we think odysseus started pranking Athena and her temples at some point? Because I do. He argued that it was good for sneaking and evading training. And you know what Athena couldn't argue that. Her chasing odysseus across the island was good training.

[fabulous-fic-quotes]

There a thousand ways to be enslaved,” Shmi finally says, voicing that dread deep in her belly, in her bones, in the shadow of every memory. “By debt, by chains, by transmitters, by drugs, by the promise of love, by the illusion of choices…” Shmi sighs again, short and tight, and repeats herself. “There are a thousand ways to be enslaved,” she repeats.

But a hundred thousand ways to be made free. Shmi can hear her mother’s voice, whispering in memory. And not just her mother’s voice, but all her mother’s voices. Nuna Skywalker, Mee’ameeli, Kania Whitesun, Ma Jira, and so many countless others behind them, who told them the tales they told Shmi, and Shmi has told her own children, the one born to her and the many who weren’t. There are a hundred thousand ways to be made free. It was the promise of Leia, of Ekkreth, of Ar-Amu.

can i ask about songs associated with irina? :o

absolutely! actually fun fact i have a playlist of instrumentals associated with irina (at least the ones we have access to as songs), bc it's such a good collection.

a real quick list of almost every song that gets used for/relating to irina, and then i'll talk about some of them, bc irina's "main" songs have some pairings within them, or at least connections--

frequent/"major": a memory, gunvar, irina (obviously), haunting visages, the gunslinger's girl and the prodigal sister, broken heart banshee and young love

others: alone, a fate refused, hospitable, gutless, kingshammer, demigod, a friend for life

[han from finishing writing this post edit: it got kind of long so i'm putting the rest under the cut]

first: she gets pretty much all of the sadie bellwater songs: first gunvar (many times, but first when fia is telling hank+zirk about their childhood, more on gunvar in a sec), then young love (for fia learning cerenysus = irina), and finally broken heart banshee (for her+fia reconciling at the end of the finale). i'm calling out the order here because it's the opposite of those songs getting introduced for sadie! which i think is interesting. sadie gets bhb for her as the broken heart banshee, then young love for her crypt, then gunvar when she finally rests.

which, aside from the musical meanings of the individual songs i think draws some interesting parallels between sadie and irina. specifically with like, sadie's change from the broken heart banshee to just being... well, sadie. and irina's change from being known as fia's childhood friend to cerenysus, the daughter of the trickster. you almost have like gunvar (humanity, it's a song about love and loss) -> young love -> bhb ("monster" song) as a scale, with young love especially working to tie their mortal lovers to them (sewastian and fia respectively).

but, musically-- like i mentioned, bhb and young love are only used once each for irina: young love is the cerenysus = irina reveal and bhb is her and fia at the end of their fight in the finale. the more prominent one is gunvar. gunvar is... well, it's an irina song in that it's a song about fia losing irina (and bukvar). it's: fia telling the third mates about her and irina's childhood, fia after bukvar is taken questioning irina's life vs everyone, irina and fia talking about bukvar in ep40 and irina saying she has him tucked away, and, finally, fia telling henry to kill irina.

second: she gets the good old marabelle combo-- the gunslinger's girl (for irina showing fia a flashback to her destroying their hometown, and for cerenysus/alette being betrayed by og!henry) and the prodigal sister (for fia first seeing her in the dream, and for fia introducing her to the third mates).

prodigal sister for irina is just... ow. it's for her coming home-- to fia. and gunslinger's ties in perfectly as a pair to it, especially given the original context of gunslinger's as cobb walking the boobs through his and marabelle's history and the betrayals involved in it.

(fun side note, irina (the song) and prodigal sister have a very similar set of opening notes)

a memory and haunting visages serve a similar purpose-- they're kind of the more dire irina songs and the songs for fia+the third mates uncovering information about her and the dangers she may be facing. the two songs have kind of similar themes anyway (with a memory being the song for the memories of betrayal/parties falling apart from the thiala fight, and haunting visages being the betrayal of the blades at the temple of the guardians) they're a good consistent pair of songs for her, and haunting visages is the song for fia incapacitating irina in the finale. to me the specific difference is... a memory is mostly tied to the more "human" side of irina/cerenysus, the side connected to fia, and haunting visages is tied to the more "trickster" side, and the things that keep fia and irina apart. which is interesting.

and finally, of course, irina's theme. it's introduced in ep23 as fia describes and then tries to scry on irina, and isn't actually used that much (6 times total) but there's this really choice thing that murph/em do with this song where. it comes in a moment before she does. as in-- in episode 32, when fia and glorg are talking, the song "irina" comes in when it's clear that irina is being talked about, but before it's confirmed. in episode 40, "irina" starts playing when sienna asks fia if she can feel irina arriving, and then she arrives. it's just a few seconds before in each case but i think it's a really cool way to use the song. (also irina's theme is the song that plays both times fia and irina kiss)

so yeah ! that's irina!

(and, i'm not gonna get into them all, but Some notes on the one-offs -- "demigod" is the song for irina attacking henry to take his death saves, and is the first piece of combat music irina specifically gets, almost an hour into that fight. it's the moment she crosses the line for fia. before that, the fight is almost entirely silent on that side, aside from a brief sting for the living blade of disaster being summoned. also, irina gets "a friend for life" when the third mates say they're her friends in ep40. i just think it's sweet. she's a part of them now!)
