Eye Level, pt. I

Getting into the comic groove by making Dooku (loneliest most pathetic man in the galaxy) develop a Thing for his tailor. Part two in progress!

Hi!! :D For the ask game:

22. Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

26. Is there something you’ve written that you would never want your family to see?

Do you know how your fic will end before you start writing?

Yes, usually! I'd answered this more extensively in this ask but while you're here, you know, just while we're casually chatting, just... just catching up, you know, how is… how is your OC Atrem? How is he this week? Is he well??? Say hi for me??? I mean, just if you see him.

Is there something you’ve written that you would never want your family to see?

BOY THERE SURE IS THANKS FOR ASKING :D

(It's ironic, I was actually composing this answer whilst hiding from my family while they stayed with me over the weekend.)

But - yes, yes! I suspect my conservative religious mother would find MUCH to consider in the nice explicit Dooku top scene in Twelve Months to Murder Count Dooku, although if she and I were going to get into a fight over her seeing my gay smut on the internet, I'd kind of wish she'd read one of my as-yet-unpublished Sifo-Dyas top scenes instead. I like the scene in 12 Months, but I'm a Dooku bottom truther and I'd like her to have the most accurate representation of my ship as possible.

I'm trying to be funny to seem cool of course, but yeah, goddamn. It's nerve-wracking. I'm new to actually posting that stuff; I have to type the tags really really really fast so I don't chicken out entirely in the middle of posting anything like that.

Ok time to old man post. HELLOOO Atrem <3

[rochenn]

Having an old man OC means there is SO MUCH going on in their life man. U just got an entire family tree and decades of biography to discuss!!

Atrem's family is a whole ordeal and this isn't even going into his upbringing and his fucking parents which is a fascinating case study on its own. I just wanted to release his husband and child into the wild for now because they deserve to be free :'D

His daughter, Tarai, works for Serenno's (and by extension the Seperatist) secret service. She also has a thing or two to say about how CIS operations are run since she sometimes feels as though their missions are being flunked from upstairs.

His first husband, Narix, was a rather famous podracer who (at least officially) died in a crash around 55 BBY. The official cause of death may or may not be related to Atrem trying to scalp price some garments he made for Hutt associates which led to them sabotaging Narix's vehicle. Atrem is more or less haunted by this. That being said they were both cheating on each other so make of that what you will

So proud of myself for finally giving an OC one of those determinist Star Wars names. Yknow. Like Cad Bane, the asshole. Like Moralo eval, the guy with no morals. Or Sidious, the guy who is insidious.

And now I've made Atrem the tailor. The guy who puts. A trim on y

[rochenn]

Low res Atrem practice I found in the folder

more pixelated old man under the cut <3

hehe

[rochenn]

Hi it's me :D in my defense I let a whole six minutes elapse before smashing that ask button ahem 17 for Atrem and 25 please for Dooku

I admire your restraint shdhsbdgshr

17. What's a book, movie, or show you think Atrem would like?

Oooo interesting! He's the type who loves watching shit like Love Island or The Ultimatum and doesn't shut up for the entire runtime (until he crosses his arms and dozes off within 0.2 seconds)

And, needless to say, The Devil Wears Prada. All sorts of Old Hollywood classics. SPAGHETTI WESTERN. And also regular American western movies tbh he's not picky in that regard. Furthermore he is a documentary addict who is asleep for most of it but still somehow recalls its contents when you wake him up

(can't speak for books because I barely read nonfiction these days but he'd definitely enjoy historical thrillers)

18. What's your least favourite thing Dooku said or did?

As in "shit that makes me fucking cry" that'd be

"But she's my most trusted—"

"You have failed me for the last time."

BECAUSE THEY. TH EY MAKE ME SO SAD. I get goosebumps every time I watch that episode where he cuts Asajj off. It's almost physically painful

And as for "he wouldn't fucking say that" uhhh honestly all the racist fantasies about that stupid "Empire of Man" in the RotS novelization by Matthew Stover. Here we have someone raised by and among non-humans who ended up in charge of a mostly non-human organization, so I kinda expected some legwork from Stover to explain where the hell the genuine racism came from but nope. Idk this one kinda fucks with my brain every time I remember it lol

loving that pixilated old man so much especially that lighting???? theshape you made on the ribcage is just gorgeous

YESSSS RIBCAGE!! I love solid ribcages man. Tysm <3333

[rochenn]

Do you think Atrem just went with the basic model instead of the luxury upgrade for his Roasted Garlic Summer Sausage? Like..... What that thang do?

That thang do a lot my guy. Luxury upgrade full of fun surprises 💅

[rochenn]

Okay I'm not even really in the Star Wars fandom but I see you talking about Atrem and Dooku and I think "oh do I need to read Rochenn's fic?? I love old men. Especially morally questionable old men."

MORALLY 💥 QUESTIONABLE 💥 OLD 💥 MEN💥!!!

So inspired to actually write something for Dooku and Atrem rn. Tasty tasty snippet collection instead of continuing to work on the old man yuri comic which is a follow-up on this here post which has been tormenting me ceaselessly :DD
