Carrie-Anne Moss as Jedi Master Indara

STAR WARS: THE ACOLYTE (2024)

Why do I have the feeling that Sol is not just crying here because of the horrible fire, rather because of shame and guilt that something really really bad happened and the Jedi were somehow involved

Watching Osha kill Sol by force choking him as he was trying to tell her that he loved her, bleed his kyber crystal turning the blade from blue to red, and joining Qimir was honestly so refreshing and I was so stunned…

THANK YOU Leslye for not pulling any punches and completing Osha and Mae’s role reversal!!!🙏

I was honestly getting sick of the good girl resisting the pull to evil trope. We need good enemies to lovers stories (that aren’t toxic and abusive)

I DID IT..... I POSTED

It's been forever but I did it. SWTA has an update!

Here is a link: Check it out.

It is time to start theorizing. I am free from school for the holidays and need motivation to write. Fill my ask box if you wish. I want to taste the motivation.

manny mentioning memory wipe as a jedi power makes me even more suspicious of him because that seems like sithTM lore. also i think it's chekhov's gun. someone in this mess has had their memories altered by the jedi and it's going to be a big deal

[turbulentphoneinmypurse0997]

Did a lil Acolyte inspired drawing. I translated Osha and Mae’s rhyme into Aurebesh and went with the golden yellow classic colour of Star Wars opening scrawls and oc I had to make the background into a nighttime horizon of the ocean and stars and binary moons on Brendock.

WOOO ACOLYTE NIGHT

SO EXCITED TO GET ATTACHED TO JEDI KNOWING THAT EVEN IF THEY SOMEHOW LIVED UNTIL PREQUELS ERA THEY HAD A HORRIBLE DEATH!!!!

especially these adorable children ahahaha i am ready to suffer

[hahaha1d0that]

I don’t blame Mae for giving up on the master’s mission when she got to Kelnacca. Forget fighting him without a weapon, I wouldn’t want to fight him with a weapon😭

[hahaha1d0that]

There has to be a season 2 right?? Like between the anonymous “master” figure in the cave, not knowing what really happened between Vernestra and Qimir, her asking Mae to hunt him down, and her continuing to lie and hide the truth from everyone there’s gotta be more to the plot. They can’t just leave us on a cliffhanger right?😭

This. THIS. THIS

One of the main reasons that SWTA makes such a big deal about names. Not just for exorcists but for Vaggie specifically is because of the value they have for her.

Think about it. Being named Vagina means that if you subscribe to the headcanon that exorcists were people on earth then there was something that was stolen from her. And if not it was something gifted that she had no choice but to accept.

Names hold so much power. It is one of the first thinks people learn about you. A lot of times in stories, primarily fantasy. Names hold a magical power over people. If you believe in the fae. You know how powerful a name is.

It is so important to know who you are and names are so deeply intertwined with that connection.

Throughout this fanfic names are going to play a massive part in identity. What you choose to answer to. What you choose to call your self. What time you choose to tell certain people. And who gifted it. All of these things matter.

And the betrayals.

The betrayals will hurt so good.

The meta text of Vaggie hating when people don't use her name or try calling her by another one THEY think she should use, bc they think her name is too vulgar or demeaning or too silly not to joke about -> and then parts of the fandom doing the same thing, is honestly really hitting home in a queer way

here's a character who we know wants people to use her chosen name.

we know she does because she corrects Adam to his face "Actually, it's pronounced Vaggie" drawing a hard line of NO between the old name he gave her with that soft G and the one her girlfriend uses for her now

her exasperation even during the battle, answering Pentious's call out of Vaggatha but still also tiredly pointing out "Not my name", and

ironically. The second miss-naming hurts me more than the first

the Adam thing makes me hate the guy on a personal level, with his stupid smug little "Hmmmmmm- no. Anyway-" saying Vaggie isn't ALLOWED to name herself something new as if he has any claim over her, as if her name has anything to do with him after he abandoned her

But the Pentious thing almost hurts worse for how well meant and casual it is. How familiar that is.

Here it's coming from a friend and the misnaming is a sign of affection from him, a show of respect. He's not calling her the purple female anymore. This is Pentious and his tick of getting polite and formal when addressing people he likes, him snapping his earnest salutes, him as we saw earlier that episode with his shy "Miss Bomb" towards Cherri.

And the way Vaggie just kinda rolls her eye and takes it from him while still clearly not liking it...

She used to wear a uniform that made her almost identical to the other Exorcists around her, she was given her old name by the man in charge of her, a name based on how useful to him she was, she's still got all that soldier stuff marching through her head making her grab for her spear and leaving her with no idea how to get people to bond other than throwing them bodily into a warzone

It just makes sense that the woman she's in a long term happy relationship with be so normal about her chosen 'vulgar' and 'inappropriate' name

Being together that long means Charlie probably knows this specific frustration her girlfriend has and cares enough about her to just say "Vaggie" like its nothing. Or maybe she just thinks, duh, of course she'll use the name Vaggie tells her to use

Maybe Charlie being that kinda person is part of what Vaggie loves about her in the first place. The amount of trust Charlie places in people, just by default

Because there could be good and bad reasons Vaggie's using a version of her old name after leaving that life behind

She could be doing it to remind herself of the shit person she was and feels she has to still make up for being, it could be tied to her self imposed new life purpose of helping make Charlie's dreams come true, it could be Vaggie keeping part of something she hates (herself) so she can feel a bit of "deserved" pain over it even when she was too scared to admit her past to anyone else- a sneaky way to always be reminded of it by the new people in her new life anyway

but that's her choice. People are allowed to make bad decisions for themselves

there's that ethos of the whole hotel and redemption plan again, Charlie's dreams and ideals swinging back into action even when Charlie maybe doesn't know it

what's the idea of redemption or personal change other than accepting that people CAN make choices for themselves? They can even make shitty ones, and that's not a reason to drop them forever or take the choice away like they don't deserve it anymore

What's the permanent extermination of souls other than saying they forever lost the right to say what happens to themselves?

a gay woman is calling herself after vag while switching out her soldier gear to wear miniskirts and giant as fuck hair bow ribbons while kissing and cuddling her girlfriend. Maybe it's cringe. Maybe it's camp. Even if Vaggie obviously isn't meant to be literally trans, it's that deliberate choice thing again, a kinda switcheroo from Adam naming her Vagina just bc it's something that he likes for how it makes him feel good, to Vaggie saying no this is MY thing now.

The Vagina to Vaggie thing is the difference between putting a name on someone else verses taking it for your own.

and Charlie affirms that choice, that right of Vaggie to be called the name she choses, no matter WHAT it sounds like or how awkward it makes some people feel

like, if someone in real life told you their name was Vaggie, would you use their name for them?

Would you accept feeling a bit weird for their sake?

Or would you do what happens so much in real life, when people who care still think they know better or feel like someone being who they are infringes too much on their own sense of comfort or even on that person's own safety, and with all the good intentions and love in the world, someone hurts someone else without understanding that they're evening doing it.

Like Pentious

Who is really and truly Vaggie's friend. The guy she got off to a rough start with but ends up rooting for, shoving her gf out of the room so he can talk to his own crush in peace. He dies to try protecting his friends, including her, and she misses him when he's gone

and he still thought he was doing a nice thing by calling her the more 'normal' sounding "Vagatha". Either because he assumed Vaggie couldn't really be her full name, or thought she deserved better

Charlie doesn't think Vaggie needs a better name

Charlie says her name all the time like it's her favorite word ever, if only because it belongs to the woman she loves

i feel a lot of things about that.

@gohrhgeorge This one's for you!

Okay so looking back at my previous post about the SWTA timeline. I had mapped out Velvette's sort of timeline. For her specifically she died at age 17 in 2017.

For her specific death, we need to explore more about her character. Velvette is someone who thrives on social media. It's not something we get a lot of in the show, but something that will be explored in SWTA. I like to believe in live Velvette was sort of social media famous. As much as a 16-17 year old could be. She is in high school during the age of instagram and musically.

I believe that her interacting with these forms of social media likely lead to the creation of several memes. I like to think she lead a few trends and gained a decent social media following. and that ultimately leads to her downfall.

She gains he following by putting people down. Her unique insults gains her followers from all around. They find her rudeness funny. And the encouragement only makes her worse.

With someone of that age not only having access to social media, but also a large following can be kinda damaging. Keep in mind that she is still a minor. I like to believe that it had granted her certain privileges in life. She would get recognized and people would ask for photos, she would get gifts, but most of all she was receiving invites to places.

Velvette being 17 puts her as a junior in highschool or year 12 for the British schooling system. (because she is British). I think it's likely that at that age, Velvette might have been invited out to places that simply weren't for her age range.

Which leads to a night at a rooftop pool party.

Velvette is recording her way through the party. It's not exactly a famous person party. But it is blatantly clear that people around have money. They have money and they want her fame.

She is brought in and treated like a guest of honor. They show her around get her free drinks, and when she goes live (instagram live came out in 2016) she is drunk (the legal drinking age in the uk is 18) so only slightly underage, but she makes a spectacle of herself.

Her numbers have never been higher. People see where she is and what she is doing and word spreads like wildfire. She's too far gone to realize that some of her views are concerned adults, people trying to find out where she is.

The music is loud in her ears and the numbers keep going up. She is singing and dancing. She is having a good time. And in all honestly, nobody will know who said it.

But she finds herself on the wall. Taking step after step, watching as her numbers go wild. Her eyes are blurry as the messages move far too quickly for her eyes to read. Half screaming about how crazy and wild she is for doing that so high up. People calling it faked. People taking it too far and telling a 17 year old girl to do a flip.

And then she slips.

The live stream doesn't end.

Not until the police arrive.

This is subject to change in the story proper but that is what i'm playing with right now. I hope you all enjoyed.

i can smell the it happened a long time ago in a galaxy far far away it is already over nothing can be done to change it edits in the oven

Saving this for future fluff

Chaggie headcannons 💜💛

Charlie confessed to Vaggie by performing a love song for her.

Charlie LOVES Vaggie’s hair. She always tells her how it's so soft and pretty. She helps her brush and maintain it, sinse its so long. Charlie loves to braid Vaggie’s hair and put little flowers in it.

Vaggie lifts her wing above Charlie’s head to protect her from getting wet when it rains.

Charlie leaves a single red rose on Vaggie’s pillow with a note saying "Sleep well, I love you." When she's working late.

Charlie walked in on Vaggie wearing one of her suits. She thought it was the cutest thing ever, so she took a picture and keeps it in her wallet.

When Charlie is sad Vaggie wraps her up in a blanket and kisses her on the forhead. Saying "esta bien mi princesa"

Charlie called Vaggie "angel" once at the start of thier relationship. Vaggie panicked and Charlie thought it made her uncomfortable so she didn't do it again, until the truth came out.

Whenever Vaggie gets a new dress Charlie will ask her to "Do a spin" for her in it.

Vaggie keeps 2 different spears under her bed, just in case something happens to the first one and she needs to protect Charlie.

Charlie loves to make Vaggie flustered. She teases her and flirts with her because her face will go all red. She will then cup Vaggie’s blushing face in her hands and kiss her forhead.

Vaggie walks behind Charlie when they're in public, to make sure she's not attacked from behind. She will stare down anyone who looks dangerous within a few meters of them.

Charlie tells people that she found Vaggie through "The cat distribution system." When they ask how they met.

Charlie always holds Vaggie’s waist when she kissed her on the lips.

When Charlie can't sleep she turns over to her side and watches Vaggie sleep for a bit. It helps her drift off.

Vaggie falls down rabbit holes of reading and watching things that scare her. It used to be two sentence horror stories, now its my little pony infection AU's. She always ends up cuddling into Charlie’s side for comfort. She did this even before they started dateing.

When Charlie wants to ask Vaggie to dance with her, she kisses the top her hand and calls her "My pretty lady."

Charlie fed a racoon some bread from thier bedroom window one day. After a week seven racoons showed up at their window asking for food. Charlie brought them inside and started cuddling them. Vaggie was used to Charlie doing this type of stuff so she just brought food for the racoons.

Vaggie stands on her tip toes, and gently grabs the collar of Charlie’s shirt and pulls her down to her face level, when she wants to kiss Charlie.

Vaggie made Charlie a bow tie that matches her ribbon. Her love language is acts of service, so she makes most of the gifts that she gives Charlie.

Vaggie brings Charlie breakfast in bed with heart-shaped pancakes when she's had a difficult night beforehand.

Vaggie rests her head in Charlie’s lap wherever she reads a book. Charlie takes the chance to play with her hair.

Charlie and Vaggie have a very fancy victorian doll house in their room. They have mini versions of all the members of the hotel in them. There's even a prociline Keekee and Fat nuggets. They make the doll Charlie and Vaggie kiss. Niffty found the doll version of herself and stole it.

Vaggie gently bites Charlie on the arm when she sees her acting extra cute.

Vaggie taught Charlie how to ice skate. Charlie pretended to be bad at it so she could hold Vaggie’s hands the whole time.

Charlie adores Vaggie’s laugh. Vaggie is also very ticklish on her wings. So Charlie tickels them any time they're in private.
