#bc like. darth maul is Right There

[the-crooked-library]

so i'm facing a Sith in a deadly duel - and as my final blow, i slice him in half. surely he will not survive this, get robot legs, and fixate obsessively on me for the foreseeable future, pursuing me across the galaxy on his vaguely homoerotic quest for revenge.

it would be weird if it happened twice, i mean, really

[weepylucifer]

people are?? saying good things about my cody characterization on ao3?? aaaaaa 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥹🥹🥹🥹🥹

and the thing is basically i've decided to just TAKE the popular fanon where cody basically exists to take care of obi-wan and decided to riff on it like, if there was a person who primarily existed to take care of others, how would he feel about it? why would he live this way? what if he snapped one day and decided enough is enough he's going to put himself first for once, only to then discover he barely knows how to do that? what if he immediately dove into a relationship with the next fixer-upper project person (darth fucking maul, he of the 3645637829 mental illnesses) just because that's what feels familiar to him in a world unmoored, but was aware of it the whole way down?

i mean, even folks who decide he has to have more going on than obi-wan usually just add a second character trait where he's always taking care of his brothers. which is already BETTER than just "the brown guy exists to serve his white love interest" but it still makes cody the guy who only is there to support others and has very little inner life except for "the competent and helpful guy/brain cell holder" (he's kinda feminine coded that way lmfao)

it reminds me of that one tweet where this lady went to another woman's funeral and realized with horror that all the eulogies were only about how this woman always did things for others and put her own needs second, and nothing about her character, whether she was funny or smart or what. that's how people like fanon!obi-wan or the fanon command batch would speak at cody's funeral fr

and then i thought about politics and diplomacy bc i love that shit, and how cody exists in such a weird in-between-space as a clone, barely considered a person, but one of the most powerful clones. and i was inspired by the star wars propaganda art book where it's shown how clone wars propaganda by the republic centered the clones so much (bc for several reasons it couldn't be the jedi) and how that sparked not only support for clones but also inadvertently shone an increasing spotlight on how weird and bad the clones' situation was; these men being grown extra fast, knowing nothing but war, more and more being churned out and thrown into the meat grinder to prolong palpatine's war. i was thinking cody would presumably have been a poster boy, would have a public persona as a clone you can recognize (his distinctive armor and scar), as a dutiful war hero, with his straight-edge, sparkling clean personality. he'd presumably have to talk to propagandists and press, attend galas to drum up war bond sales and bolster the GAR's public image. his life would have to be a tightrope walk, always carefully saying the right things to the right people to juggle the needs of his men, obi-wan, clones in general, and keeping the senate happy and paying lip-service to some idea of loyalty to the republic. and like obi-wan is the negotiator bc that's just his specialization as a jedi, cody would have to be a negotiator out of need, and he'd be trapped doing this, bc he can't resign from the army and fuck off, this is the life he's locked into. he's the slightly more powerful slave negotiating with the overseers on behalf of all the other slaves, who look to him to... not even lead them to freedom, just to make their situation more bearable

in practice this would look like making sure the third systems army is well-supplied, gets r&r sometimes, and casualties are kept as low as possible. it would look like constantly bothering a disaffected senate and pleading with a public who's starting to get tired of clones for sufficient budget, sufficient gear, actual healthcare for the wounded instead of just decommissioning, etc. and then order 66 happens, and it's revealed to cody that the clones (or jedi) as people were never the priority. that all along, while he was running himself ragged to run this army efficiently, it was all happening for the benefit of one man who actively gets off on their suffering. who wouldn't snap?

Meet the Sith!Obi-wans!

Hello friends! I've been working on this post for quite a while. I wanted to show you all my Sithywans, including art reference for them!

First up, we have Darth Vain, the masked figure who works in the shadows to improve the galaxy. (Or so he thinks)

Text: Darth Vain

Was Dooku's Padawan. Fell to the Dark Side with his master.

His death was faked when he left the Jedi Order. Obi-wan Kenobi is officially deceased.

Legitimately thinks he's helping the galaxy.

Wears a mask to hide his identity. (And, it's looks cool)

Operates in the shadows

Only reason he's Darkside is because he feels it is too late to turn back. (He is so sad)

Arm and leg cut off by Maul (pointing to his prosthetics)

Mask! (next to mask reference)

Elaborate obi (pointing to his waist)

Appearances: Here!

Next we have Darth Lurus, the seductive, arrogant Sith who craves power above all else.

Text:

Darth Lurus (pronounced like "Lure-us")

Embodies "seduction" to the Dark Side.

Relies heavily on soft power. e.g. Charm, negotiations, etc.

Freelance Sith (no master). Took (jedi) Maul as his apprentice.

Has seduced many to his cause, and used his allies to kill the Emperor.

Politically married to Satine. Rules as Emperor.

Has many hairstyles and outfits. (pointing to Lurus)

See-through sleeves (pointing to sleeves)

Here for vibes, mostly (pointing to...Lurus, again)

Appearances: Here, here, and here. (He's fun to draw!)

Finally, we have Darth Judicious, the revenge-obsessed, horror movie monster-esque Fallen Jedi.

Text:

Darth Judicious

Turned right after Qui-gon was murdered by Maul. (Qui-gon was unable to tell Obi-wan about Anakin)

Obsessed wth revenge and justice.

Thinks he can never go back to the light, but fully embraces his violent tendencies.

REFUSES to go down in combat. Will do ANYTHING to gain the upper hand.

Clings tightly to his past. Keeps torn Jedi robe with him. Obsessed with Maul.

INSANE. DO NOT ENGAGE.

Pupils are red when light shines on them. (pointing to eyes) (Disclaimer: do not ask me how this works, I have no idea. I just think it's fun)

Torn Jedi robe (pointing to the ribbon around his waist)

Keeps moving, no matter how badly he's damaged. (pointing to his broken foot and the blood on the floor)

Appearances: Right here! This is his visual design debut though :)

I hope you enjoy them! I adore these guys, and will hopefully write them/draw them more in the future!

Tagging @mcu-supersoldiers bc they asked for the ref

idk if this counts as an unpopular opinion but i really only care about the 6 movies as canon.

like i know its en vogue to hate disney canon (for good reason imo) and a lot of people dismiss the childrens shows but fuck man the eu was tiered canon for a reason and even the direct novelizations and fact books are taken with a grain of salt for me. idc how much george likes or approves of something bc he's not the entirety of star wars to me even if its the movies he worked on that i take seriously. he really needed to be surrounded by a talented group of artists who could pull him back a bit and keep him on track and fill in the whole world from the fashion to the effects to the acting. i think the star wars movies are a beautiful thing that happened and not like. any person or even small group of super involved people's project. more than anything else ive ever seen thats not by a bunch of different authors like marvel comics, its collaborative. maybe that doesnt make much sense but like it was sooo many individual details that mass together into a beautiful chimerical beast. and to be clear i think the eu continues that in a really fun way, i just cant take it seriously as affecting the movie and not the reverse with the movies informing how i interpret the eu canon, but no word of god, no after the fact addition, and no new canon will ever change how i view the movies i love, even the parts i really like. i mean, no matter how much i love starkiller or other people love ahsoka we can all agree theyre canon bending right? like they dont actually fit into the movies neatly theyre sort of fun additions. well i dont like ahsoka but other people think shes fun. (ahsoka being an ill fit i dont like could be its own 🔥 post) but you get me right?

like i cant take george seriously as The Creator who can just say whats true or approve stuff like darth maul not being dead after he intentionally tried to make it impossible to bring him back or the jedi being """therapists""" the movies were such a collaborative thing and tbh a chunk of it might be happy accidents! i dont think we can hold up those 6 movies as untouchable masterpieces when theyre that racist sexist etc but i dont think anything else will be on their level for me either... skywalker saga i love you ❤️

i wish we had gotten that third lucas trilogy about midcholrians and stuff like that that bombed in the prequels so hard they just ignored them for the latter two movies tbh. that probably would have been a third fantastic collaboration and to be clear despite the fact that i think hes kinda stupid im Not saying he wasnt an important part of what made the movies im just saying its not JUST him and he has a habit of sticking his foot in his mouth, but if the third trilogy was by him and not disney and it was about the inscrutable inner workings of the skywalker saga. i mean maybe it would have totally blown but maybe it wouldnt have. much to think about.

Top 5 ObiMaul headcanons 👀

Oooh that's a fun ship! Here are my top five headcanons that I've come up with over the last few years for these two! :D

One of my headcanons for these two is they have some kind of connection to each other ever since Obi-Wan cut Maul in half in the Phantom Menace. I mean that in the sense that they kept being drawn to each other at various points in their lives including the end there where Maul seeks Obi-Wan out on Tatooine to have the man end his life. Bc it could be no one but Obi-Wan to do this for him since it was also Obi-Wan that set his life away from Darth Sidious in motion back in the Phantom Menace, so it might as well be the same man who ends his life once and for all.

2. Another headcanon that is kind of confirmed in TCW canon is that once Maul made his reappearance to the galaxy when Savage found him, Obi-Wan went searching for records about Maul. Just to understand why the Zabrak is the way he is bc I doubt that Obi-Wan had been able to take time right after Qui Gon had been killed and then taking on Anakin as a Padawan. I do think that he took every available route to find records that could point to Maul as a person and that it would lead him to Dathomir - which I would have loved an episode on that bc I'm a sucker for seeing how Jedi conduct research and all that. It is confirmed by a TCW episode, Lawless that he visited one of the villages and got Maul's story of being handed over to the Sith as a baby.

3. Another headcanon which is based purely on my Maul is Leia's Master au since that's fun to think about, but I do believe in that scenario where they're trapped with each other for long stretches of time they would talk/debate philosophy of the Light and Dark sides of the Force - at least their sects for it. It's inevitable when Leia and Luke spend time with each other and they're not changing their minds on why they believe in the Light or the Dark side, but a closeness that comes with it. An understanding that it's sharing pieces of themselves with each other since there is no one else to understand it with the lives that they had lived through before taking on the Skywalker twins as their students. Maybe a romance blooms between them in their old age, the kind that remains unspoken even if it helps with dealing with the realities of the Empire as two Force-Sensitive individuals.

4. This one's a fun, little personal headcanon for myself, but I could definitely see Maul and Obi-Wan being in an ace/ace relationship with each other. I would like to explore that more in a fic since there are ideas that I can't fully explain in an ask like this.

5. Last headcanon, but I feel that Obi-Wan carries the memory of Darth Maul once he buries the man's body somewhere on Tatooine. Not in the same way he does for Anakin or Ashoka, but as a way to push him forward to make sure Luke lives to be trained in the Force bc someone needs to take down Sidious for all that he has done. But especially to Maul bc Maul never stood a chance when he was given to the man to be trained as a Sith apprentice as a baby. It's a personal injustice, but it shouldn't have had to happen to someone who would have likely thrived if he wasn't subjected to the training and abuse that Sidious did to Maul for most significant parts of the Zabrak's life.

[ere-the-sun-rises]

God, I love the shitshow that is The Clone Wars. We will never know better television. Here's some other highlights:

Alien Nazi re-invents bioterrorism (Blue Shadow Wirus)

Obi-Wan literally says "That's terrorism, Anakin" in a Jedi Council meeting

Barriss and Ahsoka are trapped underground, about to die in a factory explosion, and Luminara's response is "It be like that sometimes"

Obi-Wan and Quinlan Vos break into the house of Jabba's mother to find out where his uncle went

A deserter clone fucks hard enough to get himself a hot Twi'lek wife

Child!Boba Fett crashes an entire star cruiser to kill Mace Windu. Literally only Mace and Anakin survive the crash.

Obi-Wan flirts his way through every conversation he has with an enemy, but only Ventress flirts back

Rex is forced to awkwardly ward off Obi-Wan while Anakin talks to his totally secret wife

Anakin and Ahsoka throw Rex off multiple buildings with the Force and no warning

A clone named Fives uncovers the whole Sith conspiracy because his friend had a seizure and evades capture by blending in because he's LITERALLY A CLONE

Fives and Palpatine have a "You're totally right, but no one will ever believe you" moment, after which Fives punches him in the face

A clone named Cody punches Grievous in the face

Cody also routinely roundhouse kicks droids' heads off

Darth Maul only respects Ahsoka

Despite yelling at Obi-Wan about use of violence, his ex Satine hangs out with Padme - notable people-murderer - as she kills smugglers with no issues. Girl's day out on the town

R2-D2 susses out a double-agent astromech and will not rest until he is The Last One Remaining

On a mission with Jar Jar, a clone commander figures out how to weaponize his incompetence and breaks Obi-Wan and Anakin out of Hondo's hideout

"Spice" is totally space-cocaine. Hondo was going to ransom Obi-Wan and Anakin for two tons of spice.

Everyone totally knows Anakin and Padme are married but maintain the polite fiction

Bly spends every second he's on screen with Aayla Secura doing his best to Look Respectfully

Rex tricks his way into a droid-occupied base by holding up a severed droid head to the camera and saying "Roger Roger". In his regular accent. 0 effort, Nat 20 roll.

Turns out Obi-Wan and Cody are the equivalent of 5-star generals and run an entire systems army by themselves (there are 10 in total). They spend most of their time saving Anakin's ass.

Two clones get adopted by a Twi'lek girl who doesn't even speak their language.

Yoda will stand/sit on the clones

Ahsoka gets her lightsaber stolen and gets a retiree to help her bc she doesn't want to tell Anakin he was right

Rex calls Anakin by his given name exactly once and Anakin is so thrown off by this he mounts a rescue immediately

Obi-Wan beats the shit out of people with his bare hands more than once.

Cody and Rex pet R2-D2.

The Umbara Arc is about team-killing. I'm making it sound much funnier than it is.

In the first three seasons, Obi-Wan's skirt swishes around his legs.

The clones have slurs for the droids that the Jedi also use

Anakin and Padme are trapped aboard an enemy ship and almost get shot multiple times bc they're too busy making out

Obi-Wan fakes his own death, steals the identity and appearence of his would-be-assassin, then spends the rest of his time avoiding death by Anakin or annoying Cad Bane

Obi-Wan and Anakin banter as zombie cicadas almost put a mind-control worm up Luminara's nose

Kit Fisto watches his Padawan get murked and just backflips out of there (like, he physically backflips away then fucks right off)

And lastly, since it cannot be emphasized enough,

R2-D2 kills A LOT of people, and set a few more on fire

stuff they actually let happen on Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Godzilla tried to eat Chancellor Palpatine

Darth Maul came back from the dead as a crime boss with robot legs and had a giant angry brother named Savage

Jabba the Hutt’s uncle was an offensive gay stereotype

Palpatine had a gigantic forehead for literally no reason

Zombie episode

They named a Jedi “I’m Gonna Die” and then killed him

Some senator had a sex robot

All the Twi’leks had French accents

Ahsoka got hunted for sport

Anakin had to do elaborate BDSM roleplay with an evil cat lady

Dooku was almost murdered by the Macbeth witches

Hondo Ohnaka

Yoda made contact with Qui-Gon Jinn’s ghost but the other Jedi just thought he had dementia

0.07 seconds after leaving the Jedi Order, Ahsoka crashed her motorcycle, got a girlfriend, and ended up smuggling drugs for the mob

Anakin and Obi-Wan met the physical incarnations of the Dark and Light Sides of the Force and they looked like a goth drama queen and his cottagecore sister and both of them were furries

Ahsoka got bit by an evil rat which made her evil for awhile

Jar Jar killed a guy

[rayatii]

I know it's been a while, but I wanted my gameplay to take a specific direction so that's why it took so much time. (I took so many screenshots it may be divided into 2 posts or even more)

LMAO Uncle Pepe's ghost walked in on his nephew and niece-in-law WooHooing 😂

Awww it's nice to see these two get along so well

Uncle Pepe, chill, stop yelling at Uni the giant unicorn plushie

Of course, Principessa got sick again during early morning, and Nemorino had to take her to the hospital.

Why is Atalanta always so antagonistic towards rabbits?? (Also, Adina is sad bc Sofia Bjergsen, who was a good friend of hers in high school, died during the night. I swear every time I would restart this part of the gameplay (I'll explain below) someone would die in the night after their Try For Baby.)

Feeling Principessa's love, and jamming on the guitar!

LMAO Giannetta spying on these two's canoodling 😂

LMAOOOOO Giannetta attempting to spy on Atalanta?? (and also her binocs glitching into Atalanta 😂)

Let's dance!

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO PRINCIPESSA 😭 she has been there since Adina's childhood 😢 (also I think that new base game update where you get to choose how your Sims react to a death is kinda broken. I made them both sniffle-cry, but then they would stop and kinda laugh to themselves.)

(also, in a previous save file, Principessa died in front of Atalanta's stable, and Atalanta got sad and even cried.)

Anyway, as you might have figured out, Adina is pregnant (I decided not to have her take a pregnancy test, and she figured it out on her own). And since it's Rebate Day, I thought it might be a good idea to convert her childhood bedroom into a nursery.

Nemorino making a flower arrangement for Adina 🥰🥰

Sanook why are you complaining about dirty floors it's literally your job to clean them

Feeling the baby 🥰 Anyway, I took our fwendos to Adina's parents' place to announce the future addition to the family. (Unfortunately, I chose a bad time as it was time for Adina's dad to go to work.)

But Adina's mom was there, so that's that. (I like how sometimes when Nemorino greets his in-laws, they autonomously do what English-speakers call "kissing cheeks", altho it doesn't involve actually kissing the cheeks; you just kiss the air over the other person's shoulder, and your cheeks just kinda touch. It's a common greeting in my country)

Nemorino busking at GeekCon while Adina competes in the Hackathon (she later won.)

Looks like he has improved well enough that he's gaining some nice tips!

OMG, GIANNETTA'S DAD DRESSED AS DARTH MAUL?!!

Nice costume also, Giannetta's mom

This random Twi'lek cosplayer gave Nemorino an enchanting introduction right of the bat?!!!!! He responded positively, but thank goodness he didn't flirt back.

(Anyway, Adina and Nemorino both competed in the Ultimate Gaming Test, but both failed with a score of 30.)

You gotta stay in shape when you're pregnant!

Adina invited her dad over now that he's back from work, to tell him the big news. He looks delighted.

Wanna feel your grandkid?

I took Adina and Nemorino on a date at a karaoke bar, since there's a karaoke competition. Here's Adina doing pretty well singing a James-Bond inspired jazz song.

(Unrelated, but James Bond movies were my special interest when I was 13. I used them to deal with my crazy hormones.)

And here's Nemorino doing not-so-well singing a pop song...

Adina won the competition! And to congratulate her, Nemorino decided to gift her his flower arrangement. It's poor quality, but she seems to like it.

And here they are singing a ballad duet. I love how the audio combines both Adina's nice singing voice and Nemorino's not-so-well-trained voice. Take courage, Nemorino, you will improve soon!

Sharing some chocolate-covered strawberries in the bathroom. I think this solves the hunger and energy needs more easily.

It's Hallowseve Day! love this epic animation whenever you select "put up decorations".

This year, they are Princess Leia and her smuggler lover!

This is all that Tumblr will allow me to post for now, so the rest will follow shortly.

Lore dump for this new War Torn AU under the cut hehe

So the main premise of this au is that the Clone Wars never ended, which is why my working title of the War Torn AU, bc the galaxy is being torn by war. 

Basically the prequels play out exactly like the movie, right up until the end of Revenge of the Sith, along with some background action during Clone Wars.Two main things change: anakin’s arc, and Five’s quest. 

During the clone wars, instead of just running, Fives calls upon his ex-commander, Lady Tano. She can’t prevent his inevitable confrontation with Fox and Rex, but she can secretly prevent the bullet from lethally hitting him, effectively faking his death. Fives tells her about the control chips, and while she chooses not to directly involve herself, she does send him to Lux Bonterri, who decided to help work on a cure for the chip, or at least a way to loosen it’s hold (don’t come at me for the Lux thing, I just think that he should have more screen time and I haven’t watched CW in like two years. Ahsoka, disturbed by this information, goes to Bo Karan earlier than in the original timeline, and convinces her to allow Ahsoka to use Mandalorian resources for humanitarian efforts. I think that because she’s still struggling with her complicated relationship with war and fighting she’s originally be opposed to the idea of rejoining the war effort,. She would try to focus more on the peacekeeping role of the Jedi, even though she doesn’t think of herself as one. 

Timeskip to around Season 7: Fives catches word of the bullshit on Scako Minor, and realizes that Echo is alive. He wants to contact Echo, but realizes that he’s not in a spot to do it without risking his ally’s efforts (btw they’ve pretty much developed the cure by now). So he contacts Ahsoka, who’s about to speak with the Jed about Maul and Manalore. He asks her to take him along, so that he has a chance of speaking with and persuading Rex. She agrees, and he also gets her to talk it through with Anakin. After their discussion, Ahsoka realizes the identity of the Sith controlling the senate.

She goes and tells Obi wan, and together they confront Anakin and convince him to not do anything rash, effectively holding back his dark side turn for now.

Meanwhile Fives confronts Rex and Echo (he didn’t join the Bad Batch), they get told the truth, and Fives shows them the chip-cure that all clones need to be exposed to. They have a huge speech in front of the 501st, who are convinced (not easily).

They have to go back to the plot, though, and Anakin is wrestling with his feelings the whole time whist saving the Chancellor. When he doesn’t kill Dooku it raises suspicion from Palpatine, but he doesn’t act on it for his master plan is almost complete. Ahsoka’s story is mostly the same, save for the speed of it. With the entirety of the 501st fighting with their whole hearts, Ahsoka, Rex, Fives, Echo, and Bo apprehend Maul, although Jesse is left in rough shape. Lux and his ‘rebel’ organization meet them on Mandalore and equip all of the 501st with th cure. They then take off and try to spread it as quickly as possible to the rest of the clone army.

Anakin, brash as ever, decides to confront Palpatine in lieu of the Jedi Masters, while Obi wan lets them know about the chips and the Sith. Palpatine plays with Anakin, but once he realizes that he’s been pushed towards the light, he becomes angry, and basically kidnaps Anakin. After that he enacts Order 66. Unfortunately for him the 501st managed to cure a good chunk of the Army thanks to Plot Holes. About of a 1/4 of all Jedi do die, though.

The Senate realizes that the war was not what they thought after the Jedi reveal most of the truth. Bail is elected to Chancellor, and Padme worries about her husband who’s currently being held by Darth Sidious. The facade of the ‘separatists’ falls away and is revealed to the Empire, looking to take over the galaxy. In response the Republic begins using civilian soldiers, the Jedi fighting to retain control over the Clone Army (for fear of generals like Pong Krell taking over) but resolving to fix the issues and darkness within their temple first.

After this I’m not sure exactly what happens, but I do know a few things

Anakin has to struggle with his darkness and the manipulation/torture Palpatine puts him through while being captured.

Ahsoka rejoins the Jedi and leads the Reformation movement, fighting to alter their code into one that better represents the core values of the Jedi

She also accepts the title of General, leading the 501st in Anakin’s absence, and becoming a renowned leader/fighter/peacekeeper

Obi wan is promoted to Grand Master and has to struggle with the influence of power and how he wasn’t able to recognize the influence of the Sith

The clones grapple with the implications of their chips and their place in a world with dwindling need for them

Padme must raise her children and fight for the rights of all Republic soldiers.

Anakin turns into a Winter Soldier-esque weapon for the Empire??

Skywalker twin bullshit

This is all subject to change and shamelessly fan service (it’s me, I’m the fan), so I’ll stop yapping now and start hyperfixating about this AU

Design sheet for my new Star Wars AU :)

I’ll rb with the details, but can we just appreciate my girl for a sec?

[sy-fri]

Duel of the fates in the Obi wan trailer and then not having Maul in the show insinuates that it is not Maul’s battle theme but Obi wan’s.

[kybernecklace]

Looking around for fics and fanart. And like. All I want is at least one fic/fanart, in which Maul is indigenous (like honestly it'd be fine for that to be vague about the exact population/tribe/group/... he stems from), allowed to actually be disabled and be more than just a major asshole/killer.

Maul clearly has issues, but sometimes I see fics and he's just nothing outside of obsessed and cruel?

Why??

Although I would argue it's more emphasized in e.g. the novels, Maul is not someone who just kills people for fun or is unecessarily cruel to anyone but Obi-Wan (whom he puts into pain because of his own reasoning though, twisted as it may be).

Maul will kill without remorse, he will regard people as tools - albeit "to be fair" he also treats himself as a tool -, but we don't see him seek out the killing without a purpose (still terrible but in his mindset logical).

Nobody is trying to defend the way he treats other people or behaves in general, but he is a lot more than a mindless killing machine, especially after being discarded by Sidious.

And idk if it's because of those traits but like. Why is he always a white human in AUs? Dathomirians - while the writing is insanely tone deaf and offensive at times - are clearly indigenous coded.

Where is my AU with a badass indigenous Maul, who has anger issues but also cherishes his brother(s), who is disabled, sassy, dramatic and sarcastic, skilled, extremly intelligent, at times an asshole but also absurdly loyal to his friends and family??

That is Maul. Not just this "crazy" killing machine.

Tldr; while Maul is clearly a skilled criminal, he is much more than just a vengeful killer, while parts of the fandom continue to whitewash him in AUs and either ignore his disability or treat it in a disgustingly (subconciously or not) ableist way.

hello umm im not exactly sure what youd like me to say especially since it is not my place as a white person to do anything but lift the voices of people of color in regards to whitewashing so hopefully just posting this is alright? i wish i could point out indigenous content creators that might take commissions for that sort of thing for you but ive never paid much attention to specific artists; however i will now!

[bvcketfvcker]

every single fucking time I get bored/ disassociate a lil in my german class, my brain just goes....

....buy darth maul t-shirt

[apparently-i-am-an-adult]

….suspicious of him for using a “dark side technique?” What fanon/source interpretation is this?

Like I guess the others don’t really surprise me, and I am a hardcore Jedi Apprentice Series lover, but I legitimately am blanking on what that last one could be. Like he used his anger when he was fighting Darth Maul?

But anyway you’re right - Obi-Wan in Episodes II, III, TCW, and most* of the novels is literally just the Specialest and Most Respected Boy. He’s respected! He’s skilled! He’s considered to be wuss and a really good Jedi! He gets on well with all the council members we see! Even reading Jedi Apprentice, they have flash forwards to the present, and that’s still the case there!

* only saying most bc I am less familiar with the Legend universe/novels but the impression I have of them is this.

I can’t get over how funny it is that ‘the Council distrusted Obi-Wan’ and ‘the Council felt he was tOo aTtAchED’ and ‘they still had misgivings over him being a Jedi because of his childhood in JA’ and ‘they didn’t like that he was taught by Qui-Gon’ are like, actual fanons, that exist in the fandom, that are semi-regularly seen in fics. 

They PUT HIM on the Council. He basically becomes one of the ‘top three’ with Mace and Yoda despite being the youngest. There isn’t a single Jedi that we ever see in the movies or TCW who dislikes Obi-Wan lmao. He’s the Force’s gift to the Order. The Council spends the whole RotS novelization like: 🥰🥰🥰 and  “have you seen our (ﾉ◕ヮ◕)ﾉ*✲ﾟ*｡⋆ ✨son✨”

It was hard to imagine I was already 15 weeks pregnant. If I’m being honest, not much felt different from the past few weeks except my stomach had gotten bigger.  At my last appointment, we were told that the baby was measuring about 2.5 weeks ahead of where they actually were which I already knew to expect. Luckily Maul had already helped me order practically a whole new wardrobe that would last me hopefully through the whole pregnancy. 

The only new symptom was I constantly wanted Maul. I had never been or felt this needy ever in my life. Maul didn’t seem to mind this one bit though and had asked me over every night for the past week. I had never actually asked to come over for that purpose until about a week ago. I had tried to take care of my neediness on my own but it just was not working at all. At the moment it felt nice but afterward, I was just left wishing it were Maul. 

I was finally fed up so after the weekly meeting last week I hung back after Qi’ra left. 

“Is everything alright?” Maul asked. 

“Yeah.” I sighed, eyeing the tattoos on his exposed chest. 

Focus, Yn. Focus. 

Maul tilted his head slightly in confusion. 

“You said you would help me with anything during this pregnancy, right?” I asked. 

“Of course.” He answered immediately. 

I took a deep breath, now or never. 

“Okay, I’m just going to be honest with you, Maul. I’ve been like unexplainably horny for the past week. Nothing I’ve tried has helped either. Can I please come over tonight?” I hated the way it came out all whiny. 

“Why didn’t you say something sooner, darling?” He asked, with nothing but pure concern, “Of course you can. I’ll make us dinner and take care of you.” 

I wasn’t sure why but I had partly expected him to tease me, even just the slightest bit. But he wasn’t. He was just concerned and understanding. I felt tears prick my eyes.

“Thank you.” I said, fanning my eyes to keep from crying. 

“Of course…” He said sincerely before smirking, “Will you be able to make it through the day? We could always leave early.” 

“Tempting.” I smiled, “I’ll let you know at lunch how I’m feeling.” 

Luckily I made it through the day that day, but today didn’t look as promising. Hell, the day hadn’t even started and I wasn’t doing too well. Maul had already gone to his office, leaving me to sleep for another hour before I needed to get up and get ready as well. However, I wasn’t asleep. I was laying in Maul’s bed, hand between my legs, trying to convince myself that it was Maul down there. It was no use. I needed him.  

I got up, got ready for work and hurried to Maul’s office. I knew he wasn’t doing anything that was technically important, he was just preparing for the day. Upon hearing his door open he looked up. 

“Yn? Why are you here so early?” He asked. 

I shrugged and walked over to his side of the desk. I sat on it and looked down at him. 

“We have at least an hour before anyone else comes in for work…” I said, suggestivly. 

He quirked up one of the ridges on his browbone. 

“That’s true… Any ideas on how to fill that time?” He asked, setting down his holopad and standing up. 

“Yeah, I got a few.” 

He stepped between my legs and I reached up pulled his face down to mine to press a kiss to his lips. He kissed back without hesitation, immediately taking control. A smal moan left my lips. I rolled my hips agaisnt his desk, searching for some type of friction, but untimatle I just ended up nudging my bump against Maul’s torso. 

“Someone’s needy.” He commented, hands coming to grip my hips. 

“Shut up.” I mumbled. 

With my mouth open to speak, he slipped his tongue in and explored my mouth. The taste of his mouth never got old. I could get drunk off of it. It was intoxicating. I felt his warm hand travel up my thigh and under my dress. Higher. Higher. Higher. Finally he reached where I needed him the most. My legs parted without him having to ask. Just as his finger tips grazed over my folds he pulled away. 

“Are you not wearing anything under this?” He asked.

I shook my head. 

“Naughty girl.” He tsked. 

I shrugged and pulled him back to me. He continued to kiss me as his hand returned to where it was. 

“So wet.” He commented. 

“Maul, please.” I begged as his lips moved from my lips to my neck. 

His fingers began pumping in and out of my entrance as his thumb rubbed tight circles on my clit. I leaned back out my hands, pushing my hips as close to the edge of the desk as I could. My head tilted back, giving him more space to leave his mark. It felt amazing but I wanted more. 

I sat up more and reached blindly until they found the waist of his pants. I tugged him forward a bit by my grip on his pants, clearly trying to show him what I wanted. 

“Please.” I asked. 

He pulled away from my neck and brought one of his hands to cup my cheek. 

“I would love to, darling, but there’s not really a good place to do that in here. At least not now that we have to watch out for this one.” He said as his hand came to rest on my bump. 

I usually love and relish in the moments that he talks about our baby but right now I had other things on my mind. 

“There’s a couch in my office.” I said. 

“Your shared office.” He corrected. 

I rolled my eyes, “She never comes in early. Please.”  

I pouted my lip and gave him my best pleading eyes to really drive it home. 

“I can’t say no to you.” He mumbled before pressing a kiss to my lips. 

It was short and sweet before he stepped away and allowed me to get off the desk. I took his hand in mine and lead him through the door that connects the two offices together. 

Once we had crossed the threshold I turned around and began kissing him again. He guided me back to the couch as his hand traveled up to the top of the zipper of my dress, undoing it with one swift motion. I reached and grabbed the bottom of the tunic he was wearing.

“Fair is fair. You get to see my tits, I get to see you.” I said. 

He laughed against my lips slightly. 

“I don’t have breasts, dear.”

“You know what I fucking mean.” I mumbled, leaning back in to kiss him again but he pulled away. 

“You’ve got such a mouth on you when you’re all worked up.” He teased as he pulled off his shirt and dropped it to the ground. 

“Yeah I know, but you love it.” I shot back. 

He undressed the rest of the way, leaving us both naked as he ushered me to sit down on the lavish couch. As he went to kiss me again, it felt like he was crowding my personal space, causing me to shrink under him slightly. He used this to guide me to lay back as he came to hover over me gently. 

While supporting his weight on one hand, he used his other hand to line himself up. After a quick nod from me he began to slide into me. 

My eyes clenched shut. One hand gripped Maul’s upper arm while the other one dug into the fabric of the couch. 

“Fuuuck.” I moaned out and he eased himself in further and further until he was completely in. 

“How the hell are you still so tight? I’ve fucked you every night this week.” Maul mumbled. 

My walls clenched slightly at his words, causing him to be squeezed even more. 

“Shit.” He dropped his head back, chest visibly rising and falling as he tried to breathe deeply. 

“Please tell me that you’re okay for me to move now. If you keep squeezing me like that, I won’t last long.” He said. 

My brain was already fuzzy and all I could do was nod. He pulled back before sliding back in. We’d had sex enough during the past week that he didn’t even have to remember where that sweet spot was. It was all instinctual at this point. 

My high pitched moans felt like they were echoing off the walls along with Maul’s occasional grunt. 

With one hand still supporting himself over me, he brought his other hand to work on my clit again.

My back began to arch slightly and my eyes screwed shut. 

“Maul.” His name left my lips in breathy moans. 

I was walking the line between absolute pure bliss and overwhelming overstimulation and it was sending me to my climax at an almost alarmingly fast rate. 

Then suddenly, Maul stopped mid thrust as the door to the office opened suddenly. My eyes snapped open and my head turned to the door where Qi’ra stood, looking down at her holopad. 

When she stepped in, she glanced up and let out a scream, dropping the device in her hands as she saw both of us naked, fucking on the couch. Her eyes shifted from Maul, then to me, then back to Maul before she locked eyes with me. 

"Don't you know how to knock? Get out!" Maul snapped as he breathed heavily. 

She was clearly too stunned to speak. I smirked as I reached up to cup Maul’s cheek to get him to face me again before I pulled him down to meet my lips with his. That was all it took for Maul to get the hint. He smirked against my lips then rolled his hips to continue his trust into me that had been so rudely interrupted. I moaned against his lips as Qi'ra continued to stand there. 

When I pulled back Maul turned his head to look over to the side at Qi’ra who’s eyes were still locked onto me. 

"Okay, well don't just stand there! Either get to work or get out!" Maul snapped, causing her to suddenly return to the moment. 

She shook her head and screwed her eyes shut before rushing out of the room, nearly tripping over her own feet. 

Maul looked back down to me. 

"Well your work day just got a bit more interesting." He teased, dropping his head down to kiss my neck. 

"Shut up and keep fucking me." I said, strteching my head back to give him more acesss to my neck.

I felt his warm breath dance across my skin as he let out a small, amused laugh at my request. 

“Yes, ma’am.” He mumbled before moving on to work on a new marking. 

He began rubbing tight circles on my clit again as the pace of his hips quickened. I was once again racing to my climax. 

“Maul, ‘m close.” I mumbled. 

He continued on, not letting up for even a split second. It wasn’t long until my walls clamped tightly around him, causing him to falter slightly. He finally lessened the pressure on my clit, but continued to pump his hips, helping me ride out my high as long as possible. The increase of friction had him racing to his own climax. I felt him twitch slightly, knoiwng what was to come. On his next thrust he buried himself seemiingly impossibnly deeper before he came. The feeling of his release had me a moaning mess beneath him. 

“Maul.” His name came out as an almost choked moan. 

“I know, I know.” He said gently as he continued to rock his hips as he empty out every last bit of his release deep within my walls. 

My eyes fluttered shut as i laid there trying to catch my breath, chest heaving. Maul slowly pulled out then shift my seemingly weightless body so he could laydown behind me as he turned me to lay on my side. I kept my eyes closed but brought one arm to tuck un my head. Maul did the same then brought his free arm to wrap around my waist as his hand rested on my bump. 

He pressed a gentle kiss to the skin just beanth my ear. 

“I wish we could, but we can’t stay like this for long. We do have work that needs to be done.” He whispered. 

I gave a small nod, “Just 5 minutes.” 

He hummed in response and relaxed a bit more behind me. His body radiated warmth and it was nearly impossible to not feel completely relaxed. I wasn’t sure how long we laid there but now, Maul was gently waking me back up. 

“I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to fall asleep completely.” I said, blinking in the bright light of the room. 

“It’s alright. It wasn’t very long. We need to get moving though, the housekeeping droids will be here soon to clean up.” 

I nodded and slowly sat up with him following close behind. Their was a robe sitting on the foot of the couch. 

“I figured you would probably want to go get cleaned up a bit before returning for work.” Maul said as he reached for it and handed it to me. 

I took with a smile before leaning over to press a kiss to his cheek, “Thank you.” 

I stood with it and began to slip it on, “I’ll probably just run to my quarters real quick since it’s closer.” 

I said and he nodded as he stood to collect his own clothes from the ground and redressed. Once he was I stepped in front of him to give him one last kiss. 

“I’ll be back in a little bit.” I said. 

“Take your time.” He said before we both went our separate ways. 

Instead of just rinsing off quickly, I decided to actually take my time. About an hour later, the housekeeping droids had cleaned the office. And I was returning to the office to actually start my day. 

"Good morning, Qi'ra." I said as I walked into our shared space. 

She looked up at me blankly.

"You okay? You seem a bit pale." I commented. 

Quickly her face heated up and turned red as anger was set ablaze in her eyes. 

"It was Lord Maul this whole time!?" She asked. 

"What?" I cocked my head to the side in mock innocence. 

"You've been fucking Lord Maul all this time! I don’t know how I didn’t put two and two together before. Back when we were ordering the supplies for the compound, the pregnancy tests. You said you were seeing someone, why didn’t you say it was Lord Maul?" She yelled. 

"Qi'ra, I have no idea what you're talking about. Maul and I are not hooking up. I’m carrying his heir. That’s all." I said, I knew denying it would piss her off even more than me just admitting to it. 

I had been waiting for this moment, I was going to have some fun with it. 

"Yes you do! I saw you two!" 

"What? Saw who?" I asked, I looked at her like she had gone crazy. 

"You and Lord Maul were having sec right there on that couch!" She said.

"What couch?" I said. 

“That one!” She said, pointing to where the piece of furniture should have been.

I wasn’t aware that the housekeeping droids removed it from the office which was making this whole thing 10 times better on my end. 

“Qi’ra, did you like drink or something before coming into work? I’m not going to rat you out or anything, but damn. You’re seeing shit, maybe take the day off.” I said, walkign over to sit down at my desk. 

“I know what I saw.” She insisted. 

“Look I don’t know what you saw. But I can asure you that I wasn’t having sex with anyone this morning. Unless sex is slang for puking your brains out. I spent my morning in the refresher with morning sickness.” I said. 

"Oh yeah? Then who did I see?" She crossed her arms over her chest. 

"I don't know, wasn't me, though." 

"Yes it was and you are so going to get fired for it." She said. 

"Okay, I’ll humor you for a moment. Let’s say I did have sex with Maul, on a couch in here that ahs since mysteriously diapereared, I’m not hooking up with him, but just this one time, let’s pretend I had sex with him. Please explain to me how telling Maul that him and I had sex would work, Qi'ra?" I asked trying to get her to ralize how stupid she sounded. 

"It’s clearly an unprofessional work relationship." She said smugly. 

I couldn’t help myself, a loud lush left my lips and I looked at her from where I sat.

"Okay, for starters, in case you hadn’t noticed, we don’t work in a typical work enviroment, Qi’ra. This is a crime syndacate. Normal work protocol doesn’t really exist here. Two, I just want to make sure I’m tracking corectly. You're going to go tell Maul that you caught him and me fucking in this office. Right, that’s your plan?" 

I was desperately trying to get her to relize the major flaw in her plan. 

"Exactly! When he sees how unprofessional you've been, you'll be gone." 

"So, I just want to clarify, you think you saw Maul and I having sex in here this morning, you know think that I've been ducking him for sometime now. So, you're going to go tattle on me to Maul, and you expect him to fire me?" I asked.

She nodded. 

“Qi’ra, let me ask you this. If Maul is the one I’m having sex with, so in other words, he’s been fuck me, why would he fire me if he’s apart of it too?” 

I could see the moment the lightbulb flipped on her head. She stuttered, trying to formulate an answer but failed miserably, "I know what I saw." She snapped finally. 

I threw my hands up in surrender. 

“You know what, Qi’ra, I won’t argue with you. If that’s what you think you saw, then so be it. All I know is that I wasn’t in here this morning. I don’t know what Maul was up to, maybe he has someone.”

I had honestly expected to feel a little hurt by even just saying that, but I was surprised to find it had no effect over me. Perhaps it’s because I knew that despite the fact that we weren’t officially together, Maul and I were much more than just two friends having a baby. Did I want a relationship with him? Of course I did, but I wasn’t sure how to tell him. 

“Why would he be fucking in our office?” She asked quietly. 

I wasn’t sure if she actually meant for me to hear her or not, but I was going to answer regardless. 

“Maybe you finally messed up enough and he’s replacing you.” I said. 

“Or you.” She shot back. 

“Qi’ra my spot here is secure. I’m having his baby, rember?” 

“How could I forget? You flaunt it around constantly…” She mumbled the last bit but once again I heard her. 

“I’m not flaunting it. Just because I’m no longer hiding it, doesn’t mean I’m suddenly flaunting it around. And it’s not my fault that literally everyone else besides you is excited about the future of Crimson Dawn.” I shot back. 

“Whatever, Yn… Just know, if I find out that you’re lying to me and you are hooking up with Maul, and trust me I will find out the truth, I will make you regret it.” She said. 

“Careful. Maul said to report anyone who threatens me or our child. That sounded like a threat to me. I’ll give you one last chance. But if you threaten me again, I’ll let Maul take care of you. And you know by now that there won’t be any coming back from that.” 

My last comment seemed to have gotten her to shut up. She didn’t have anything to say back to me after that. I picked up and began working on my datapad. Focussing on my work was hard though, my mind kept wandering to Maul. It wasn’t like earlier though… no, now I couldn’t help but think about how I was in love with him and how I was finally going to tell him. 

A/N: Remember to always GASLIGHT Qi'ra, Girlboss as Maul's head advisor, and Gatekeep Lord Maul
