Casey and S from Cabin Three offer bookmarks and homemade notebooks! @tmnt-fandom-family-reunion

(Taking place the next day)

Raph whimpers, closing his eyes, rubbing at the one that was patched. They were at the craft area when Casey and S approached.

"What happened to you?" Mikey asks in a hushed whisper, dropping the canvas he was holding.

"Re-laax, guys," Leo says, despite his sword being his hands and his voice shaking. "I don't think the Kraang make bookmarks. S-Sorry, hombre. We appreciate the gifts."

~

Donnie flinches, standing at the entrance of his cabin, flipping down his goggles to examine the gifts — If that's what they were — and the giver. After a long second, he accepts them. "So what's going on with the Kraang eyes and such? Are you still in there? Is this mutualistic or parasitic in nature?"

~

Almost instantly, Casey Junior and Tello, a younger looking Donnie, have weapons out and ready. Tello's brain catches up with him before he hits him with the glowing bo staff in his hands and it disappears as fast as it came.

Casey on the other hand charges forward, only to be stopped by Tello, who put a ninpo shield between the Caseys.

"Stand down. He's not a threat." Tello says. "It's okay."

Casey shakes, not in fear, but barely restrained anger. "How could you? How could you have *anything* to do with those monsters that took our family?"

"We don't know his story, kiddo." Tello says, moving closer to put a hand on Casey's arm, the one with the chainsaw. Casey reluctantly lowers it.

"I don't want anything to do with him." He says.

Tello pushes his face against Casey's arm. "I understand, Case. That's okay. But Casey, you have to understand. If you killed him, it wouldn't be in self defense. It would be murder."

Casey quiets, looking away. He puts away his chainsaw hockey stick. "I'm sorry." He says to the other Casey and S, refusing to look at them. "I still don't want anything."

"That's okay, because I would love a notebook, if you're still offering." Tello says, letting down his barrier. "Sorry for the inconvenience."

Chingo in Laax (2024), on film

[supersaiyanjedi14]

Another piece of my Star Wars AU, this time looking at my take on a preexisting character; Tarre Vizsla, the first Mandalorian Jedi Knight.

For the purposes of my AU, Tarre's story takes place during the events of the Knights of the Old Republic games and comics, as I quickly became attached to the irony of a Mando Jedi coming into being during the Mandalorian Wars. Around the time Tarre was introduced, I also got attached to a series of headcanons and ideas of that very concept explored by @naaklasolus, which I contributed to via anon messages (this was long before I made this blog). With that out of the way, let's get into character history.

In my AU, Vizsla was born on Mandalore in 3988 BBY, becoming a fully realized Mando warrior just in time for the initial raids of the Mandalorian Wars. However, the young Tarre and many of his clansmen quickly became bothered by the atrocities committed by their people, Tarre's uncle Lord Laax Vizsla specifically taking issue with the actions of the field marshal Cassus Fett. The genocide of Cather was the last straw, the pointless butchery made all the worse by the death of Tarre's cousin Dutoa, who attempted to stop the killing (her mask was later found by Revan when the attack was discovered). Laax lashed out at Fett, but was killed in the ensuing duel, forcing the 15 year old Tarre to flee with a handful of other Clan Vizsla defectors. Valuing Mandalorian ideals ahead of their warmongering leaders, the renegade Mandalorians reluctantly surrendered to the Republic and provided valuable military intelligence. It was during this mission that Tarre's Force-sensitivity was discovered by Revan, who offered to take the young man as a Padawan, an offer he accepted. As the war progressed, Tarre distinguished himself as an incredible frontline commander, while his training under Revan, Alek and Meetra Surik allowed him to develop into a formidable Jedi. However, despite embracing Jedi philosophy, Tarre retained his reverence to Mandalorian ideals, gradually learning to balance the two cultures. At the same time, he began to notice the toll the war was taking on his master and quasi-father figure, a growing darkness growing in Revan that disturbed him. When the Battle of Malachor V arrived, Tarre led the ground battle and personally defeated Cassus Fett in single combat, though the use of the Mass Shadow Generator further worsened his strained relationship with Revan. After the battle, Tarre elected to return to Coruscant with the Republic fleet while Revan and Alek traveled into the Unknown Regions, both to vouch for his masters and be a much-needed companion to the traumatized Meetra Surik. The Jedi Council, despite their reservations about the boy, agreed to let him remain a Jedi and offer him Knighthood. Tarre initially refused in protest to the council's heel-dragging and subsequent scapegoating of Meetra, but Meetra convinced him to stay, saying his can better serve both his people and the galaxy at large as part of the Order. When Revan and Malak returned to terrorize the galaxy, Tarre stepped up to lead the Republic military to counter the Sith. His reputation from the Mandalorian Wars preceding him, the Senate granted him the title of Supreme Commander, the irony of a Mandalorian leading Republic forces not escaping them. During the Jedi Civil War, Tarre suffered several close Jedi friends falling to Dark Side, his own Padawan killed by Sith assassins, and a cruel session of imprisonment and torture at the hands of his former mentor Malak. Despite this, he remained strong and endured, becoming a legend to both the Order and other scattered Mandalorians. Revan's capture and amnesia allowed Tarre to interact with and slowly repair his relationship with his old master, though Revan remained ignorant of the truth until after the confrontation aboard the Leviathan. After Malak's defeat, Tarre joined Canderous Ordo in helping to repair and reorganize the splintered Mandalorian clans, took the redeemed Dustil Onasi as his apprentice and completing his training, and was even invited to join the Jedi Council. However, victory was short-lived for the Mandalorian Jedi, as Tarre's reputation and heroism made him a priority target for the Sith Triumvirate's Jedi Purge. Forced into a confrontation with Darth Sion on Naboo, Tarre Vizsla gave his life to allow Dustil to escape with a ship full of younglings. Tarre Vizsla would be memorialized by both his clan and his Order, the two organizations revering him for his courage, justness, and will.

Other notes; -The Darksaber was built in emulation of the distinct beskad sabers of Clan Vizsla, the clan reknown for producing exceptional swordsmen. Tarre owned his own blade while serving the Mandalorians, but it was appropriated by Cassus Fett after he went rogue and abandoned altogether after Fett's defeat on Malachor. -Despite his sour relationship with the KOTOR era Council as a whole, Tarre eventually became good friends with Master Zez-Kai-Ell, who helped the young man adjust to life on Coruscant after a lifetime of war. -Tarre died in 3952 BBY at the age of 36. He had no children of his own, so leadership of Clan Vizsla went to his second cousin, the great-great-grandfather of Shae Vizla. -Tarre possessed a gift for tinkering and modifying weapons. Aside from the Darksaber, he also constructed a shoto short lightsaber calibrated to resemble the kal daggers carried by Mandalorian Crusaders. -Naturally for a Jedi coming from a martial society, Tarre was an exceptional lightsaber duelist, mastering Forms 1, 2, and 4 alongside Jar'Kai dual blade fighting. -Tarre is not particularly gifted with Telekinesis, but he compensates by focusing on Control and Sense based Force abilities; Healing, energy diffusion, and various subtle telepathic powers are his specialties. -One of Tarre's lasting ambitions was to aid considerably in rebuilding and resettling the Cathar people, his way of making amends for his peoples' actions. -Tarre's dying words were "Ogir cuyir nayc kyr’am, ogir cuyir te Force" ("There is no death, there is the Force" in Mando'a)

Norwegian multiethnolect - kebabnorsk

I recently finished the novel Hør Her'a! by Gulraiz Sharif, and one of the most interesting aspects of the book was how the main character, Mahmoud, uses what is commonly referred to as kebabnorsk, a language variant of Norwegian that incorporates words and grammatical structures from languages spoken by immigrants in Norway such as Arabic, Kurdish, Urdu, Pashto, Somali, Berber, Tamil, Turkish, Persian, Balkan languages, and Spanish. It's used widely among young people in multiethnic neighborhoods, especially in eastern parts of Oslo - this is also the setting for Hør Her'a!

Researchers refer to this language variant as a norsk multietnolekt (Norwegian multiethnolect), since it is not spoken by just one particular ethnic group. Others use the term asfaltnorsk, arguing that this language variant is an overwhelmingly urban phenomenon. Norwegian multiethnolect emerged from immigrant youth communities, particularly those in eastern neighborhoods of Oslo, and since the 1990s has spread to broader youth populations. The term kebabnorsk itself was first used in a Master's thesis, titled Kebab-norsk: fremmedspråklig påvirkning på ungdomsspråket i Oslo, by Stine Cecile Aasheim in 1995.

While reading Hør Her'a! I often referred to this site which explains the meanings and origins for some of the most common words. I've included sentences from the book. Sometimes the spelling differs, since there's no standardization.

asjko - å ha sex (from Berber) Alle som har vært på pornhub vet at hvite mennesker elsker å bli piska og slått mens de ashko.

brursanklem – "bro-hug" (brorsan/brursan means "bro" and comes from Swedish slang brorshan) Vi gir hverandre brursanklem.

gåra/gåri - I couldn't find an actual translation but from the context of these two sentences I assume it's a (derogatory) term for ethnic Norwegians, similar to potet. Jeg står der og føler at vi har blitt skikkelig gåra familie. Wannabe gåri!

jette - å dra, å stikke (unknown origin) Han jetter så sjapt, løper av gårde.

kæbe - jente, dame (from Arabic) ”Det går bræhhhhhh, din wannabe kæhhbe, vi har mange flere! Pappa mamma kan lage en sønn til! (This is said in an ironic/teasing way by Mahmoud to his little sister, who is trans)

kæze - å banke opp (unknown origin) Hun dama kan klikke for alt, hvis hun hører dårlige nyheter fra hjemland, hun kæser oss.

lægs - penger, oftest kontanter (from the Somali word “laax” with the same meaning) Men for å erobre hovedstaden man må ha fluser, penger, lægs, kachinglyd i lomma. (flus is another word for money)

loke - å henge rundt uten mål (unknown origin) Jeg viser han somaliere, forteller han at mange av dem loker dagen lang og ikke gjør en dritt. (The novel explores the rivalries/prejudices between different ethnic groups in Mahmoud's neighborhood)

sjofe - å se (from Arabic) Akkurat nå forbildet hans er Elsa og Moana, fordi han sjofer dem hele tida.

schpa - digg, bra (from Berber) Du er brun og bra! Bare oppfør deg i livet, så går alt schpaa!

tisjar - forræder/sviker (origin unknown) Da han plutselig blir fokusert, han tisjaren der! Jeg viser onkel Aker Brygge og festningen, forteller han at tisjarer som gikk imot Norge under andre verdenskrig og ditcha landet sitt ble skutt der.

wallah/wollah – sverge (ved Allah) (from Arabic) Jeg elsker deg, brur, du vet ikke, brur, hvor mye jeg elsker deg, wollah!

zebb - penis (from Arabic) Han ser uomskjærte zebber, blir sjokka igjen.

It also has to be said that prejudice exists towards this language variant - unfortunately no surprise, considering it's mainly used by young people with an immigration background - with people labelling its grammar as "wrong" Norwegian, since it for example doesn't adhere to the V2 (verb in second position) rule, or separate subject and object forms of pronouns.
