#but i am so invested in this

[theseveredspirit]

Theory/Prompt

I've been trying to educate myself into some Star Wars Lore... I've been able to see The Entire Saga... The Spin-Offs... The Series... It's a lot to keep up with i'm not gonna lie...

But with the Recent Ahsoka show that had just ended...

It's said from another media that there is "another" to be concerned about...

With Baylan Skoll having to be so eager finding his Söl... I was heavily reminded of a name i've haven't heard in so long...

And it is BY FAR the least i've expected to have her name show up...

ABELOTH... THE MOTHER OF STARS

If the cards are played right... The story itself is going take an INTERESTING turn for sure...

For those who are unaware... And if I am correct by the texts...

Abeloth... Had grown along with The Ones... The Celestials beings in Star Wars

Im gonna try and keep it simple here...

But Abeloth's Origin was a beautiful woman... At least... Before her other appearance, she had tentacle hands/tendrals... And a massive grin like teeth...

Her Species is UNKNOWN...

NOBODY KNOWS WHO AND WHAT SHE IS...

She had just randomly showed up, and had served along with The Ones.

She became... The Mother

The Daughter and The Son would stop their continuous fightings... While The Father would remain in peace as it lasted...

They were all happy together...

It was peaceful...

Though, one problem remained....

The Mother is getting older... And she feared that one day that her family will eventually forget about her...

As the times that have passed, it was starting to become true...

The Son and The Daughter have begun their battles and they were starting to IGNORE The Mother...

She is having to be VERY fearful for her children's life, as well as her own... Took matters into her own hands...

The Mother drank from the Font of Power, A Nexus Power... Which was a Gat by The Son's Strength...

As she drank and she drank... She was being slowly corrupted in her mind...

Having fo realize that it wasn't enough, she also bathed in the Pool of Knowledge, Another Nexus Power, held by The Daughter...

It further CORRUPTED her entire being... She had gain immortality... But at a great cost as to how she is...

With her twisted love for her family into a craving for companionship from her loneliness. The Father had no choice but to abandon her, with his children...

Leaving The Mother...

Into Isolation..

She is now Abeloth, The Bringer of Chaos...

Abeloth now realizing what had happened SCREECHED into the everso galaxies that heard her cries.

She is Alone...

With Baylon Skol, having been called... This is a road I hope they will lead to in Season 2. I hope the focus is moreso on Peridea that would be a great deal for Abeloth as The New Antagonist of Star Wars.

Though, I fear for Ahsoka, Sabine, and Shin...

So @calysto1395 has been working on a ZoLaw modern!AU and I just had to draw the scene from a snippet she sent me. More snippet behind the read more:

edit: fic is also now available here!

“Laaaw-” Bepo leans into the break room, too cheerful for the early morning. He looks over witheringly while clutching his coffeecup for dear life. “Someone is asking for you.” Bepo tells him, giggling. 

“If it’s Vergo, tell him to jump into a river and drown.” Law replies. There’s a hair floating in his cup and Law stares at it for a long time, contemplating sticking his hands into the scalding liquid before he grabs a spoon instead. 

“No, it’s your friend from the train.” Law is frowning at his coffee as the hair evades his spoon.

“What friend?” He asks before his brain catches up and he realizes that Bepo can only mean one person. Law looks up just to see Marco blatantly paying attention as he pours himself his own cup.

“You know the hunk with the green hair and the big bag-“ Bepo explains, miming the vague shape of a human.

Law abandons the hair and the spoon so he can rub his eyes. 

“Ohh, resting bitch face? Scar on the left eye?” Marco asks causing both Law and Bepo to stare at him. He has the same serene crooked smirk he always has as he takes a leisurely sip from his mug.

Law squints at him. “Bepo, tell him to wait in my office and also never say the word ‘hunk’ ever again.” Bepo snickers and disappears as Law points at Marco. “You know him?” Law asks and surprises himself at the hint of jealousy that comes through (that’s his stranger damn it).

I think it would really benefit people to internalize that mental illnesses are often chronic and not acute. Some of us will never be able to jump the hurdle of managing illness, much less sustaining a sense of normalcy. Many of us will never "recover," will never manage symptoms, will never even come close to appearing normal - and this is for any condition, even the ones labeled as "simple" disorders or "easy-to-manage" disorders.

It isn't a failure if you cannot manage your symptoms. It isn't a moral failure, and you aren't an awful person. You are human. There's only so much you can do before recognizing that you cannot lift the world. Give yourself the space to be ill because, functionally, you are.

for anyone wondering where i've been: i got... distracted... by a potential huge project. I was considering running a mcrp project/smp project, inspired by stuff like fan life series servers, with the rest of the sexyman team! but... a different one. a very specific one, even.

now, I'm aware there are probably outstanding questions, so if you're uncertain, please read more event/server details below the cut and see if it interests you!

I don't know anything about Survivor–what would this show even be like?

so if you know nothing about survivor, it's easy to think it's a show about surviving on a deserted island. it is that, but it's not mainly that. survivor, at its heart, is a social deception game, about making close alliances, betraying people, and social dynamics under pressure–hence why i suspect it would be a great fit for mcrp.

the way the show would be structured is this: a certain number of contestants would be placed on a (slightly modified) survival server, set up to be difficult to survive on. they are placed into two "tribes", the teams for the first half of the show. every episode, they would spend time with their tribes bonding, surviving, searching for secrets, and base building. then, they would compete in challenges. the tribe that loses the immunity challenge must go to tribal council, where they vote on which member to send home. this continues with the tribes eventually merging together into one tribe and immunity becoming individual before there are only two contestants left. at that time, they go in front a jury of their former fellow contestants, who will determine who the sole survivor is.

while challenge performance is one key to winning (as it prevents you from being a target in the first place), the other, bigger key, as you can likely see, is forming alliances and voting blocks strategically to get your opponents voted out and yourself kept in. this makes a great vehicle for social emergent storytelling, where narratives emerge about who is honest, who is a liar, who is good at the social game, who is bad at it, and what people will do in order to become sole survivor.

in other words: it's kind of like what current-day mcrp is ALREADY about. except its a gameshow also, and the very construction of the thing is designed to cause tensions by its very nature.

it's great! and you wouldn't be required to know anything about survivor–our host would explain to the audience all of the mechanics as they came up, as would production staff to the players.

You keep calling it "a show"–what do you mean by that?

the result of this project would be an edited youtube series, like survivor, of likely around twelve episodes. each episode would show footage from the game, as well as a lot of "confessionals" shots of the players explaining their opinions, before ending in tribal council! unlike most mcrp series, this would not be a multiple pov affair. it would be one tightly edited project. (this editing, for the record, is the largest overhead; we expect the amount of footage to go through to end up being in the hundreds of hours combined between all the players.)

it's possible that after the show's finale releases we'll release the players to make their own highlights from any footage they take. but the product we're hoping to make is just a single TV show's worth!

what exactly does applying to be a contestant require?

if we get enough interest, once we have enough of the required plugins and builds created and have a better sense of gameplay, we will put out a casting call form. while this will ask a number of questions to help us get to know you as a potential player, you're going to be REQUIRED to have the following things: a tumblr blog that you can link us to, the ability to record an audition tape in minecraft to send to us (so that we can get an idea of what audio we'd be working with, mostly), enough free time for us to be able to schedule recording sessions into, and a willingness to agree to some rules about keeping things secret until the finale airs and about rp etiquette. that's it! there are no other requirements–you don't have to know survivor, you don't have to already do mcyt or stream, you don't have to have friends, none of it, and while we'll ask you for those details, we're going to be looking for a large blend of people from across mcyt! anyone (who can send us mostly clean audio) can be considered!

EDIT: we would ALSO REQUIRE YOU BE AT LEAST 18. sorry i forgot this before! this is for a number of reasons i don't want to get into, but will be prominent on the actual applications.

what exactly would being a production staff member entail?

we're mainly looking for two things in production staff: a willingness to run replaymod for us and act as cameramen by following contestants around getting footage on the actual recording days, and a willingness to work with us on what's likely to be a fairly intense editing and "scripting" period during and after recording, during which we're going to have to scrub through massive amounts of footage and form it into a coherent narrative. we may, depending on how bad we realize we've bitten off more than we can chew, also end up looking for build team members for the production crew. if these things sound fun to you (they sound fun to me god help me), then go ahead and select this option! just know it's mutually exclusive with playing; no one in the production staff will be considered for the contestants. this includes my friends and myself who've already agreed to help me.

these applications would come out before the casting call, since even before casting call we're going to need to do playtests and dry runs and have things mostly ready. so keep an eye out!

will this be run on your blog?

nope we're going to make a new blog (and youtube channel) (and branding!) for this eventually, just want to interest check before we go through all the branding steps. (also, i've even gotten us a specific gmail for this that we will likely end up using for certain communications.)

for now that's all the FAQ i think that is required. let me know if you have more! and i hope you all are interested in this baby of a project that's taken over my mind for the past few weeks!

Hazel posts a tiktok that starts with a view of Steve folding laundry.

Hazel: Pop

Steve, looking warily at the camera: What?

Hazel: If you and Dad got divorced–

Steve: Oh, come on, Haze.

Hazel: No-no-no-no, just hear me out.

Hazel: If you and Dad got divorced, how long would it take for me and Moe and Robbie to Parent Trap you back together.

Steve: *very long pause as he clearly considers the question*

Steve: Why did we get divorced?

Hazel: A dumb reason, like in the movie.

Steve: So how long has it been since we last saw each other?

Hazel: Well...no. It's not a shot-for-shot remake of the movie. You'd probably be, like, co-parenting or whatever.

Steve: How long have we been divorced?

Hazel: A long time. Since I was a baby.

Steve: *another pause*

Steve: Yeah, that...makes sense.

Hazel: Okay, don't be rude.

Steve: Who’s dating someone else?

Hazel: What?

Steve: The dad in the movie is dating someone else. So which one of us is the one dating somebody?

Hazel: Oh. I don’t know.

Steve: I bet it’d be your dad. You know what – you wouldn’t need to Parent Trap us because I’d already be trying to get back together with him on my own out of spite.

Hazel: Oh-kay we might need a part 2.

There’s PVP and then there’s a PC transforms into a horrifying monster and kills another PC but it’s fine because the PC she killed is unable to die! But it’s actually not fine because every time he dies he has to give up a piece of himself! And that old man in the party is actually his son?! Anyway no time to unpack all of that we gotta go!!!
