no thoughts just Iskat Akaris putting her lightsaber through Sevo and the entire bar scene and Korei crushing her death stick under her foot as the flame of Sevo's/Zevo's funeral fire dies on the beach on one of the moons of Bogden

[playawner]

Oh yeah, since I got a few more mutuals and followers in the past two weeks, I decided to do a proper introduction

My name is Zash. He/She ONLY. I am a neurodivergent latino artist who sometimes draws and sometimes reblogs, but both things are cringe and free 💝

Small tag guidance:

Zash's stuff = All the things I post. Can be art... or just me yapping lmao

Zash's reblogs = When I reblog stuff in general.

Zash's ask box = When I reply to anyone who goes in my ask box. Currently, they're open, so you are always free to ask questions ANYTIME! (Unless if you're a hate anon, I will probably ignore you anyway lol)

Not my art! = When I reblog other people's art! Can be crafts, paintings (digital AND traditional), writing, etc.

See later = Posts where I think I need to see it sometimes. Can be something funny or something important.

Small notes here, too:

All my images ID's are in the alt text of my posts, but if you want, you can add them in your reblogs! Any constructive criticism about writing alt text is fine, as I'm still new to it ^_^

I have separate tags for each au I have, if you want, you can look out for them (example, if you want to see my gd infection au, you can see the tag "Darkness Rot AU"), I will soon do a master-post about each au I have or may do in the future.

I do also have a carrd! It can be found here, is optional to check it but feel free to if you want, as it contains more information about what I like or what am I.

Oh and don't forget your daily clicks, btw, before you leave this post! Is important, and if you have money, consider donating embedded sims, it may be a little but it means a lot for the people's lives, family and home ❤️

Queer books, day 31/30

Turns out I like writing about books in this format, but I read a lot more slowly than I write.

I asked on Mastodon for everyone's favorite romance novels with an NB character in them. Partly because I'm in the process of writing my own NB character and I wanted to see how other people had dealt with sex scenes (in the anatomic sense). Partly because I just wanted to see how anyone else conceptualized nonbinaryness*. That request led me to Sword Dance by AJ Demas. It only sort of answers my questions, but that's okay because it's amazing.

In an alternative version of the Mediterranean, Damiskos is an ex-soldier (now disabled) and current quartermaster who has been sent to visit an old friend (Nione) to secure a contract for fish sauce. At her house, he meets: a bunch of tedious philosophers led by Eurydemos (who seems to preach a very anti-alien, anti-LGBTQ agenda, and yet is writing poems for...), Varazda (a sword dancer and eunuch from Zash, another country in which Damiskos was once stationed and for which he harbors a deep affection), Varazda's "owner" Aristokles, and a few others. Quickly, Damiskos surmises that all is not as it seems--first, he foils an attempt on Varazda's life, and it becomes apparent that the relationship between Varazda and Aristokles may be a lie--in fact, they are conspiring to hide something far greater than the fact that Varazda is not actually a slave. Soon, Damiskos is teaming up with Varazda to solve a murder, then to avert a war and recapture Nione's villa from the philosophers. Oh, and falling in love.

Varazda is an interesting character. He (Damiskos's POV is the only one we get, and he uses male pronouns for him, although he says he thinks of himself as both male and female) was made a eunuch after his father lost a military engagement of some kind. He was then enslaved for a while, until he was sent to the Zashian embassy in Boukos, and then he was freed. This is obviously a major source of trauma, and Damiskos is in a unique place to appreciate that because of his time in Zash. As a result, Damiskos is extremely careful in their nascent relationship to let Varazda lead. Their relationship is very sweet in part because of this deference, and they deal with consent very well.

Key quote: (Varazda has been discussing how he doesn't always achieve an erection because of being a eunuch.)

Rather boldly, Damiskos said, "Want to see if we can make it happen again?" Varazda looked up in surprise. "What--right now?" "Yes, of course right now! Immortal gods. We're sitting on your bed, talking about how beautiful you are and whether or not you like sex--it's surprising I even need to say anything." "I am literally a eunuch, First Spear." After that they were both laughing...

As you might have guessed from the summary above, this is a world in which there is violence, homophobia/transphobia, and slavery, including sexual slavery. Women have some rights to own property, but they aren't voting citizens. The implication, reading between the lines, is that in the world generally, same-sex couples aren't too uncommon, and it's just Eurydemos's students who have a problem with them. (Eurydemos and his students reminded me a bit of Socrates and Plato, but of course Plato doesn't care that much about same-sex relationships, c.f. that one story from Symposium that got turned into a song from Hedwig and the Angry Inch. But I've been privileged to hear some angry Jesse rants about Plato since doing the podcast, and it reminded me of that. Anyway, as Plato says a lot, philosophers with bad opinions were a dime a dozen back in Athens, so.) Also, warning for explicit on-page sex.

*: Is Varazda nonbinary or is he gender fluid? I don't know. At one point, he says, "I never really think of myself as a man, but most of the time I'm quite happy for other people to think of me that way." Elsewhere, he implies that he doesn't want to be neither male or female, so he tries to be both. Maybe genderfluid is a better word for him. Maybe he can't articulate exactly how he feels, because he's not speaking to Damiskos in his first language, or because there isn't a word for how he feels. Either way, I enjoyed the way the character was portrayed.

That's it. Lots of action/plot, a good amount of romance, very engaging, love the setting. 10/10, go read it.

Shouta 

May, 23, 2076

I was going to Zashis, after finally being talked into it by an old friend. I stepped in and saw him preparing shots. He had graduated college to become an English teacher the day periviouse, and I assumed he was about to go to a party, “Yamada” I blurted out, shaking slightly, trying to talk myself out of this stupid idea. “Yes Sho-chan?” He leaned back of his counter, looking me up and down quiziccly “What are you doing” I was still shaking, and trying not to make eye contact, he didn't answer and instead asked me, “What's going on Shouta?” I sighed and took a shot out of his hand and drank it “I like a boy, and I need help.” It was a cop out response and I knew that much but I needed advice from my friend before I ruined everything. “Oh um, shit” He laughed and looked down, almost affected by it? I pushed that aside. I was too stressed to get my mind off the task at hand “Well Sho, just tell them the worst that can happen is that they say no.” He had dealt with rejection I would assume. I knew he asked Nemire out in High school, and is known as the hookup hero, so maybe he was right, but he doesn't know that I'm talking about him. “The worst is that i lose them for it” I look up at him leaning on his wall “I cant lose them permanently, not over a stupid emotion” He laughed again “Love isn't stupid Sho, just go up to them and say, i like you romantically and if you dont thats ok and if you do i would like to pursue it” He gave me a flash of a smile, a fake smile, yet it gave me enough confidence, “Yamada, i like you roma-” Before i could finish the cheesy line he had gave me, our lips were touching, i didn't even register him moving to me, yet he was kissing me. My eyes were wide looking at his face, feeling his lips, by the time he pulled away he was a blushing mess “Sorry, i wanted to say it first” I looked at him with a clear look of shock “Say what first?” “That i love you” The response was quick, but the gravity of those words was evident as ever, “Kiss me again” I  had my hands at my sides, blushing profusely, yet he obliged. It was calmer, I closed my eyes and leted into his touch. His hair was a bit over shoulder length and fell on my face as we kissed, his lips moved skillfully as we pulled each other closer. When we pulled away, my lips were red and a string of saliva still connected us, we looked at each other for a while until there was a knock at the door “Come in” Hizashi had yelled out and it got me out of my head, he was still holding me but i took a step away. Nem had come in and pulled Hizashi out to go party, he offered to stay but I refused and I walked to my apartment.

July, 7th, 2076

Everything stayed painstakingly the same, what I mean by that is that the guy I have been in love with since i was 16, loves me back and i've only kissed him once! Well twice technically. I have been busy with my three jobs and unable to plan for us around this. But I am currently drunk out of my mind and it's 11:54 pm, and I'm standing outside of Shouta’s door. I knock and when he opens it I kiss him and push him against the wall inside his apartment. We stay like that for a while, breaths taken in between, he pulls away and cover my mouth and whisper shouts my name, it feels wonderful to hear and i lean against his hands “Zash what are you doing” I mumble something the take a breath and pull back, “I cant keep doing this Sho” He looks at me weird so i speak again “I don't want to rush this, but I love you Sho, i can't keep pretending like i don't, and now that i know that you love me back, I cant keep acting like were just friends.” I grab his hand and lean my face against it “Are you sure?” His question was loaded with doubt and fear. “Yes, more than ever” We kept kissing and watching a movie, I sobered up eventually and we cuddled on the couch. Me and him went on a date the next day and started dating officially August 2nd, 2076.

Hizashi

March 7, 2078

Me and Sho have been dating for well over a year and my life is perfect, were both teachers at UA we have a movie night every thursday and we live together in a small penthouse, it's the life i've always wanted, Nem is a bit pushy to Shouta though, it's about him still being a virgin and she says that we need to do it eventually. I don't mind contrary to popular belief, even Sho thinks I care and it is difficult to explain that I really don't. But has he been more romantic? I guess initiating physically more than normal, but i don't want to rush him at all, i was rushed into it at 16. Therefore I don't push it on anyone, especially not Sho. I close my notebook and get up to see Sho, it's a Thursday afternoon and he just got home from the gas station “Hey baby!” I got up and kissed him, grabbing the bags and sitting them on the counter. “How was work?” He flops on the couch and I walk over to him. “It was good, How was the patrol?” I kissed his forehead. “It was good Sho.” I started playing with his hair. “We're going to that party tonight right?” I ask and he groans heavily and nods, I laugh at his attitude and stand up “You need go get dressed then Sho” I tap his head and walk into the room to get dressed, i put on some black cargo pants and a tight black shirt with a white jacket and my hair braided in twin braids, She just through on some jeans and one of my graphic tees and we were off. I didn't drink and Sho had one cosmo. We basically just babysat Nem. I was driving the motorcycle so I didn't want to drink. Sho got on the back of the motorcycle about an hour into the party, and I said bye to everyone. “Took you long enough” I stepped next to him and laughed. “I'm sorry I have friends.” I took off my jacket and gave it to him, because he was shivering and I hopped on the bike. “Did you drink sho?” “No, well one cosmo but i'm not drunk” I nodded and started driving home. We were driving and he had a bad habit of falling asleep on the bike. I felt his grip losen, and I saw a gas station so I pulled over, he fell off and I laughed at him. “Yamada, it isn't funny.” I wiped a tear from my eyes “Be lucky i pulled over you could have fallen on the road” I laughed more and caught him grinding. I filled up on gas and got him some jelly drinks, and we were on our way. When we got home I took off my jacket and flopped on the couch. “Sleepy?” I nodded and pulled him close to me, we sat like that for a while and then he pulled my head up, “Zash” “Yes Sho?” I open my eyes and look at him, he leans in and starts to kiss me softly. The kiss becomes two then three until we're making out on the sofa. He had never initiated a make out session. 

**

“Wait Sho” I pulled back, I had somehow been pulled on top of him, he let go of my neck and landed on the couch with a sigh “What's that for?” I was confused by his attitude. “If you don't want to have sex with me you can say that Zash” I looked away “" It's not that” he sighed again “Then why do you keep stopping?” “I feel bad Sho, i've been with more people than I even remember, and your a virgin'' He sighed and looked at me with pent up emotion “Well i'm trying to not be a virgin'' I laugh and sigh “I want you to be sure your ready” he nodded “I am Zash'' I look down at him, it's not like i didn't want too, every part of me wanted to. But i didn't get a choice and maybe i'm projecting, my mind was racing so i took a deep breath “Are you sure?” He nodded and blushed and he leaned up closer to me. “I am.” I took another breath, this one a bit shaky and I kissed him. We stayed like that for a while until I picked him up and tossed him on the bed. I grabbed a lube that I had from before me and Sho started dating. “Do you want me to wear a condom?” He shook his head no and grabbed the lube from me “What is this?” “Lubricant” He blushed more and handed it back to me without looking me in the eyes. “Do you want to use it?” I rubbed the back of my neck, i didn't think i would have to ask but then again he didn't know much. “What does it do?” I looked down and laughed “it makes it easier for” I took a pause “Insertion” he was satisfied with that and agreed we could use it, he sat on the bed and i pushed him down and started kissing him. I threw my shirt across the room and grabbed his shirt to pull it off, when we had our shirts off he took a breather and traced lines on my chest, I let out a shuttered breath before kissing him more. We slipped our pants off and I began to tease his body, earing gasps and groans, I began kissing his neck and upper chest, listening to his sounds and his heartbeat. When we were both fully naked we took a breather and he looked down at my body trying not to make eye contact. He blushed heavily as I grabbed the lube and started to trace his hole. He gasped and buckled into my touch. I teased him for a bit before slipping in, he screamed and i stopped half way allowing him to adjust before i went in fully, then once i was i gave him a moment to adjust before moving. I thrusted evenly and calmly in the beginning, getting sloppy and loud quickly. I tried to keep my quirk under control and did a good job for the most part, Shouta was lounder anyway. When I finished he was half asleep and mumbling random things, I went to pull out and he gasped and held me tight.

**

 “Sho i’m not going anywhere” He groaned and held me tight still, i rolled to my side and pulled out receiving a gasp, he curled up closely lightly clawing at my chest. I leaned down to his ear and whispered “Sho are you ok?” He nodded and opened his eyes to look at me “You were so good Sho, your body reacted to me perfectly. Your amazing” He blushed and smiled “Thank you Zash '' He was super tired so i got up and grabbed us each a bottle of water, he chugged his and i cleaned him with a wet washcloth.

Shouta

March, 8th, 2078

I had sex the night previous, for the first time, with the love of my life. It felt amazing the sounds he made were addictive, and I was loud. Like extremely loud it was so embarrassing. He cleaned me after and got me water then cuddled me and told me how good I was, he also did this while he leaned next to me and while moaning would say how good I was, and felt. I've never been more happy in my life, this is what it's supposed to be like. When i woke up i was sore though and couldn't walk, he helped me sit up in bed and made me waffles and fried chicken, it sounded weird but was pretty good. He said it was an American dish, and that made more sense as to why it was weird. He called me out of work and patrol, he called himself out of work and patrol but still had the radio show tonight. This was perfect. 

Hizashi

September, 23, 2078

I was shaking like crazy on my walk home from the radio shack. I picked up the important piece for my plan for tomorrow, Shouta had no idea, but I called us out of everything. I booked a fancy restaurant and set up the perfect wine picnic place next to the ocean covered in plants, who were still green while the trees just started turning colors. It had to be tomorrow, It was perfect. I walked in the door “Honey i'm home!” “Hey Zash” He yelled from the kitchen and I came in to see him making udon for dinner. “Something smells good” I wrapped around his waist and lay my head on his shoulder “Is it me or the udon?” I pretended to sniff him, “definitely the udon.” He elbowed me in the side and I moved back laughing. I sat down as he made our plates, I ate and we talked about our days. He had just got home from patrol and we were about to go to UA, or so he thought. It was about 4am, and my plans started at 10am, at our breakfast dinner. “So I called us out of work today” I said, slurping my udon. “What? Why is this the first I hear about this” I laugh “I planned a surprise” He sighs loudly “Be lucky I love you Yamada” I laugh, he finishes before me and kisses me before heading to the bedroom. I let out a sigh and started to shake again, I grabbed a glass of whiskey and listened to music as I ate to calm my nerves. I walk into the bedroom and head to bed next to him. 

September, 23, 2078

I woke him up at 9:45 and we got dressed. I made him wear something nice. I wore dress pants and a white colored dress shirt with a black sweater over it. My sweater had white and black cat on it and it was Sho’s favorite. We ate at the cafe then walked around the park and a few stores. It was 4pm before we knew it and we headed to the restaurant. We took our seats at the top floor balcony, and I ordered a giant bouquet of roses. They were delivered by the restaurant and I got the steak with california roll sushi and salmon. “So, did I out myself?” Shouta laughed and shook his head “Definitely, how much did this cost?” I laughed and shook my head “The next surprise is worth more than everything else on its own '' I took a sip of my wine as Shouta looked stunned. We laughed and talked like normal but I could tell Shouta was a bit uncomfortable. I grabbed his hand and asked if he wanted to leave earlier. That was the main factor in us going to shops we always went to before this, and why were we alone on the balcony so he wouldn't be too stressed. He said it was ok but I ordered dessert to go anyway, and paid. We arrived at the spot and he saw the ice bucket of wine with the blanket already laid out, his favorite snacks were sitting over there along with desert from the restaurant. I ran up the hill with him and when we reached the top the view was amazing. “Sho, record the view” I turned him to where his back was facing me, and told him to do a complete circle “Be slow Sho” “I know Zash'' I got on my knees and started recording on my phone to catch his reaction I put it in my pocket still facing him and grabbed the ring. I got on one knee and waited. He finally finished the circle “Zash where-'' He glanced down and covered his mouth with a gasp “Yamada” “Shouta” “Stop this can't be re-'' He started to let tears slip and his breath was shaky “Shouta'' He keep shaking his head in disbelief “Aizawa Shouta, i have never loved anyone the way i love you. You are my person, my home my perfect, I would do anything for you, anything to see that smile. I promise to continue to do everything for as long as we live, Shouta, Will you marry me?” There was a slight pause before he said yes, barely above a whisper and fell on me hugging me tight, we both fell on the ground laughing, crying, kissing, hugging, and loving. 

Shouta

September, 23, 2078 

I was woken up at 9:45 and we got dressed. Zash had planned a date, and insisted I wear something nice. I put on new jeans and one of his tee shirts, I also added some bracelets to the look. He took me to our favorite cafe and to various stores, we hung around town til about noon, then went to a park. It was 4pm before we knew it and we headed to the restaurant. He had booked a balcony and it was extremely expensive,and if that wasn't enough he bought me a giant bouquet of flowers. I ordered salmon and dragon sushi rolls. “So, did I out myself?” He asked and I laughed before responding, “Definitely, how much did this cost?” He laughed and shook his head “The next surprise is worth more than everything else on its own” I gasped and looked at him with shock, I could barely gauge how much this was? And there was more! We laughed and talked like normal but I was a bit uncomfortable, from the expensive place and day. He grabbed my hand and asked if I wanted to leave earlier. I said it was ok but he ordered dessert to go anyway, and paid. We arrived at the third spot and I saw the ice bucket of wine with the blanket already laid out. My favorite snacks were sitting over there along with dessert from the restaurant. He  ran up the hill with me and when we reached the top the view was amazing. “Sho, record the view” I nodded and turned to where my  back was facing him, and he  told me to do a complete circle “Be slow Sho” “I know Zash'' I turned and started recording on my phone. When I finally finished the circle, i couldn't see him “Zash where-'' I glanced down and covered my mouth with a gasp “Yamada” “Shouta” “Stop this can't be re-'' I started to let tears slip and my breath was shaky “Shouta'' I was shaking his head in disbelief “Aizawa Shouta, i have never loved anyone the way i love you. You are my person, my home my perfect, I would do anything for you, anything to see that smile. I promise to continue to do everything for as long as we live, Shouta, Will you marry me?” There was a slight pause before I said yes, barely above a whisper and I jumped on him hugging him tight, we both fell on the ground laughing, crying, kissing, hugging, and loving. 

Wedding- Yamada + Aizawa

May 6 2079

The wedding was in a resort next to a river and covered in trees and vegetation. The trees in question were cherry blossom trees, and in full bloom. The wedding had a gold, black and white theme, Sho was in a black suit and Zashwas in a white suit, despite begging to get the black suit. We ended up rock paper scissors over it and Zash lost. None of Shutas family would attend, everyone on his dad's side was dead and everyone on his moms side disowned his mom and him, Zash had his mom, sister, and niece, but no dad. They invited Nem and a few other friends from highschool, and Oboros family.  It was a small wedding but it was perfect, Yamada wanted big wedding decorations so he was the one decorating, while Sho was making sure the budget and food were perfect. The ring bearer was Oboros brother, they stayed in contact with his parents and were invited to family events at times. The flower girl was Yamadas niece, she was 3, because Yoko Yamada had a baby girl at 17. She lived a bit away in an apartment but Yamada tried to be the best uncle, sending her gifts and taking her on uncle niece dates, seeing as her father was about just as good as Yamadas he had to step up to be there.

The reception was calm and very sweet. They had their first dance then Yamada danced with his mom, then Shouta danced with his mother in law. It was perfect and they went to America for a honeymoon, specifically California.

                                      The End 

So!! I hope you enjoyed it and I hope it's good! It's my first time writing NSFW so I know it's not the best. But this is how their life is. I also have head cannons and short stories if you're interested and plan to post those every week or so. I have written a few posts below if you want to check it out.

[sith-shenanigans]

Paladius Had Daegin Strell Killed

This is a theory I’ve had for a bit and that I’m planning to write into Liminality. It just… makes the most sense. It’s never stated that Strell died of unnatural causes, but it’s never stated he died of natural ones, either—and Paladius was the one who stood to gain.

Here’s what Zash and Rylee have to say about the timetables involved:

Darth Zash: “The artifact—a pendant called the Eye of Tulak—belongs to the Sith Lord Paladius. He's lived here many years, converting Nar Shaddaa's poor and suffering into zealous followers. His own cult.”

Rylee Dray: “The place is called the Strell House, for a charity worker named Daegin Strell. The people looked to him as a leader. He's been dead nearly a decade, but his name still means something—and I thought it couldn't hurt to have his name associated with yours.”

“Many years” doesn’t necessarily equal “nearly a decade,” but it certainly doesn’t contradict it, especially since “right after the Treaty of Coruscant” is when it makes the most sense for a random Sith to go do something militarily useless. And when you crash Paladius’s address…

Screaming Blade Pilgrim: “The Strell House—a good place, that. Daegin Strell was a good man.”

…it certainly sounds like some of his disciples used to be Strell’s.

Screaming Blade Supporter: “You're crazy! What will forgiveness get us? Ten more years in the gutter, that's what.”

Screaming Blade Pilgrim: “It's not as if we got any higher up under Paladius. The gutter's the gutter.”

And this exchange, taken together, could imply that Paladius has been active on Nar Shaddaa for a little under ten years.

Strell was well-known, was a leader of the people, was—as Destris references at one point—drawing crowds. Then he dies, and Paladius moves in, seemingly quite quickly. Paladius crushes the “meanest gang around” (and they would make good people to pin Strell’s death on, really, if it wasn’t something more subtle). Paladius takes in the people who now have no one else to turn to.

Paladius, in it for his own self-aggrandizement, likely wouldn’t have gotten anywhere if Strell had been alive. And it says something that the Strell House has been empty for ten years.

Maybe something about respect—or maybe that people remember how Strell died, and what happened to anyone who tried to continue his work.

oh that zash comic is adorable! it's good to see her get some appreciation

Thanks! Tbh I'm not sure what was it, design, writing or VA (probably VA) but Zash immediately made me fell for her from the word go. It's sad that she is pretty underrated in fandom.

Anyway, still a queen 😤👑

[rainofaugustsith]

Lana and Darth Nul. Um.

I saw some argument on Reddit today about Lana being Darth Nul, and FFS, when I had it in that post it was a joke. I was fucking around.

Given the poor writing the game has had for the last four or five years, I threw it out there because I fully anticipate they could do this no matter how outlandish it is. They've certainly had nothing but inconsistencies up until now. I also unfortunately would not put it past them to take the one wlw character with an actual substantial romance arc and send her down in flames.

Logically, though: I don't think there's anything there, unless she's a past apprentice of Darth Nul or otherwise had some association. In my own headcanon Lana's got a pretty garden variety past. But if we're going to speculate about Lana's past, my strongest guess would be that she was one of Darth Malgus's apprentices. She may have even been involved in the New Empire's development on some level, even if she didn't know what it was. It would make sense. Lana is clearly open to change and working with a lot of different groups, she's pragmatic and she's smart.

We also know that the Sith that were associated with Malgus did not all die or go to jail, but were placed in positions of some power afterward - because we worked with one, Lord Cytharat, on Makeb. If you were a Sith looking to shake up the entire Empire from the inside and effect massive change with cross-faction cooperation, would a former Malgus associate be attractive for that goal? Oh yes. We're told Darth Arkous brings her on board as an advisor because he thinks she will make a good Revanite.

In the most recent story beat (which I will not call an expac because that is a complete joke), Lana's clearly tense when she is confronting Darth Malgus. I feel it's entirely plausible that she and Darth Krovos are on the same page as to how Malgus should be handled, and it's not keeping him in a Silence of the Lambs cage. In the end, wasn't the Alliance more or less what Darth Malgus wanted to achieve? A third faction, with a very diverse population, a base outside the Empire or Republic and some power.

So yeah. If they are going to do anything, that would sound the most reasonable to me. Making her suddenly turn out to be Darth Nul or a Child of the Emperor in hiding would be bizarre. And:

We know nothing about Lana's family.

Well…isn't that the case for most of the characters? We don't know anything about Aric Jorgan's family, or Koth Vortena's, or Darth Marr's. We don't see parents or spouses or kids for the vast majority of characters in the game. When we do, like Vette's sister and mother or Elara Dorne's brother, it's a big deal in the narrative because it's unusual.

What we have for Lana's parents is actually more than we have for most of those other characters: we have their first names, their surname, what they did for a living and the fact that they're deceased. She knew Darth Nul is female. Yes, she did. We know Lana's got a very strong background in Sith history, and of course she's digging around on her own with this. She's the Alliance advisor. Ten to one she's doing research she's not necessarily sharing with Darth Rivix or the Empire, for one reason or another. She hides her power. Dude, she's Sith. In an Old Republic Sith world. Do you think anyone who knows how this game is played EVER shares their full hand? Hell, our own Sith characters in the game can pretend to be clueless with Darth Baras and Darth Zash and also can hide all manner of associations and power acquisitions. They're no fools. We also know that the Sith who stand there bragging about their power are usually the ones our characters can annihilate. All talk, no action, and such. When Darth Rivix tries to needle Lana by accusing her of hiding her full abilities, I feel like the uncensored answer would have been 'no shit, Sherlock. Are you new here?'

We don't know what her Sith experience is.

We know she trained with Harkun, which would imply she was at the Sith Academy within the last, let's say, thirty years. Training with Harkun also suggests she didn't have any cushy connections at the Academy, because the acolytes who had patrons or supporters with any pull were not going to be sent to that butcher. We know it wasn't, say, fifty years ago, because one of the acolytes who was there at the same time who had gone mad in the tombs was Zabrak, and long ago aliens were not allowed in the Academy at all.

We also know she was assigned to Hoth before she was with Arkous, and that she did a thesis on Jedi and Sith on the battlefield. We're told she hates titles, which could suggest she's been offered something higher than Lord and refused it.

But she's cagey about her background.

Yes, she is. If the PC asks her about it, the first time they meet in the cantina, she's clearly uncomfortable talking about herself. But she was also in an environment where trust was thin on the ground, and she was there to talk to the PC about distrusting Arkous - would she really have told the PC her life story? Also, if she did come from background with Darth Malgus, she may not have wanted to say so. In the Makeb storyline, Cytharat doesn't say it either unless you prompt him.

The fact that someone doesn't share their background doesn't mean they have something to hide, necessarily. Especially when they live in a galaxy where it can be used against you.

More angst! In the form of Riot and Praxy's letters to Taral while he's stuck in Carbonite!

From: Praxidike Kallig

Subject: Losing Faith

Sometimes my own stubbornness surprises me. It's been four years. Four years since Korriban, four years since I lost an arm, four years since Riot slipped away when I wasn't looking, four years since I insulted the whole Dark Council and walked out... And four years since you left.

It's okay, in a life like this we don't know if our next day will come. Riot hates you though, if what he said before he left was any clue. I did look for you, for three of those four years, I think. It's all a blur. One moment I'm scrambling to my ship the next I'm sucking behind a building to avoid skytroopers with Lana next to me.

Lana still thinks your alive, a part of me thinks that too. She's the only reason I haven't walked away to find Riot or the others. I've tried a few times, but she always dragged me back. Sometimes literally. I don't know how much longer I can keep doing this though.

I've reached out more times than I can count, but I still can't feel you.

From: Daer'io'tarthi Kallig

Subject: Traitor

I shouldn't be surprised. Betrayal and deception are the greatest weapons in a Sith's arsenal. You really had me fooled, you know? For a while I believed you, believed in you. All your promises about strength and unity, your idealistic dreams of peace. But Kallig was right, and I was an idiot for ignoring it. Zash, Thanaton, the whole ordeal with Revan, and now you. All Masters, all traitors, and all liars.

But they made me stronger. Even now, my power grows. I alone injured the Twin Conquerors. I took one of their arms, burned half his face. You are weak, you lost a battle you didn't even start. Didn't even lose to a Jedi or the Republic- no, you just had to loose everything chasing some ghost into the depths of wild space. We don't need you. You've completed your purpose. Take your lies and excuses- if you have them- and stay dead.

If you are alive, I'll find you, and I'll kill you myself.

Needless to say, Riot was not happy when Taral popped back up again. There was an argument, there was a fight, and Taral almost lost an arm.

writing book when

[tearsoftime0086]

Done with my SRW Lord of Elemental/Masoukishin playthrough! Took the Volkruss route. Fun, shorter game if you're even mildly interested in the Masoukishin characters. The game's writing and plot will do the rest and get you hooked!

Few notes: I feel like the gameplay loop gets a tad broken towards the late game when everyone on both sides starts getting double move. This alongside innate HP regen makes it a very player phase game - a lot of the strategy becomes counting spaces so you can one-turn kill bosses and tougher enemies. Lots of units start getting bunshin too - not ashamed to say I save scummed a little ^^

For anyone wanting tips, focus your upgrades on Masaki for the first half. Akashic Buster is a great weapon to invest in. Once you pick units you like, you can start aiming for full upgrade bonuses.

Shoutout to Luck, Love, and Rally as my top 3 critical seishin/spirits. As for my final squad of units...

Masaki - has Luck, Akashic Buster, near 100% availability, and lots of movement. Fun protagonist unit, but might have smaller damage output at the start of chapters as he gains morale for Akashic (nothing a single Rally can't cure).

Ryuune - great ranged weapons without morale requirmeents, plus they get nice full upgrade bonuses. Luck makes her a great pickup for 99% of the game, but she'll need a lot of weapon investment if you want her to do anything against Volkruss.

Shu - the OP, Athos-esque unit of the Volkruss route. His degenerate cannon shredded the boss without money spent on upgrades. He also gets Luck!

Saphine - Luck (do you see the pattern here lol) and Rally. Comes with lots of upgrades and double move, so she replaced Mio in the final stage.

Presia - You need a bit of patience to train her - the Diablo is nothing special and her piloting skills even less so. But once you get her to a respectable level she gets Luck, Rally, and Resupply to become the best seishin generalist. Learns Hot Blood to hold her own eventually too.

Zash - the last of the double move squad, and the only one without Luck! Not here solely due to player nepotism though (as much as I adore him), as he gets Rally as well as a nice pseudofinisher move that only needs 1 morale.

Yang Long - from this point on the units did not get double move and were around 10 levels behind. Regardless, Yang Long is a great bruiser unit that can come into his own, I just focused on Zash for that role in this playthrough hehe

Tytti - Love and the repair module. Honestly she just was a Love bot in the endgame, but she's also a good unit if you invest into her. Does solid chip damage even without upgrades in early/mid game.

Mio - Zamzeed is a good tank, but you'll struggle with damage output unless you commit to getting her secret finisher and upgrading.

Well, that's about it! I recommend this game if you're looking for an old school SRW to dig into for a couple hours. As for pics, I uh... just took a bunch of Zash screenshots haha. I'll put one here but let me know if anyone wants to see his (3) conversations in this game lol

[1zashreena1]

Here, take this old short snippet from early on in their relationship

Rated E for sex toys, mentions of dick, Murder Panther being Murder Panther

My taglist is really old so please feel free to ignore if you're no longer into it, no obligations or expectations here

Bring your vibrator⚡🔋

That's it. That was the whole text from Diego. At 4:42 in the morning.

He's probably asleep now, but you have to answer him. Its impossible to ignore Murder Panther.

Its only Wednesday. Do you have any chill?

Getting him riled up is half the fun. You start to head for the bathroom when the little bouncing dots appear. Oh god, he is awake.

No. What are you wearing

You're not even mad. A pic of your bare feet in the bathroom disappears into the ether. You get a pic of his pants abandoned on the floor.

Now get in the shower Princess

Okay, you really do send him shower nudes because you can hear the growl and you like it. But the video he sends you almost makes you late for work.

So. Much. Dick.

[patiusarchivist]

Thank you so much @hoiist

After a thousand years, when I pre-ordered this darn game when it came out and never could sit and play. Spent a near week awake playing Jaden Kelzen, my Inquisitor 5ever, and stuck fighting Darth Zash BEFORE the nerfs and skill changes. Then forced to become an assassin to have a chance.

Years later when all of these expansions were released and old content become a dusty backhand thought, I finally was able to sit and play these missions dumbed down. Here for the story and not all of the MMOness, I finally give my boi - who finally earned his Lord status as Lord Kallig the Second - is given art for all of this trouble. One day I will roleplay him or just write.

Thank you Jaden for surviving (with my Sith Warrior, who is for some reason much easier to play), and thank you again Hoiist, I hope to commission you again!

[cryo-lily]

Swtor Player Asks

2, 6, 8, 9, 15

Thanks for the ask!

2. What is your favorite class and why? And/or list the player classes in order of most -> least favorite.

Honestly? Jedi Consular has been been my fav so far where I started a redux play through of my Main so I don't repeat my first blind play through where I made some choices I wasn't happy with. I'm honestly all about the Wise Healer slowly becoming more and more disillusioned the more the Consular class story goes on; Wanting to do good only to be just another pawn in just another war.

But I will say Sith Inquisitor quickly shot up the list to a very close second. Just everything about that class story really. Zash? I both love and hate her. Seeing her on Nathema the first time made me go feral. I'm totally not debating playing with the story beat of she didn't die then and will come back AGAIN later down the line... lol. That and the whole force ghost story bits, and the end of the class story? *(Chefs kiss)*

Least fav? Jedi Knight. The whole light vs dark side bits were waaay to ridged for my tastes. Yes Kira was like a little sister to my character, No that doesn't mean she's turning to the dark side.

6. Do you primarily play Republic, Empire, or a mix of both sides? Is there a specific reason for this preference?

Currently I mostly play the pub side only because most of my Cartel items/purchases are reedemed on Isadola (my main). I have been slowly leaning towards playing more of both as I dust off my Sith Inquisitor more and more. But I'm not gunna lie I love the Imp fleet a lot more, it's design is much more up my alley.

8. Name your top favorite companions (feel free to include reasons why).

Ohh, that's a bit of a list but I'll stick with my top 5. Top of the list is Lana hands down, She's Issie's better half among other things that would be too long to list here. Number 2 slot is HK-51, I've had him for less than a few weeks and I would already die for my assassin bot buddy. Next in number 3 & 4 is Nadia & Ashara, My fav force students that are borderline sisters to each of my mains. And number 5 is Khem Val easily, I love my big morose monster of a teddy bear. He reminds me a lot personality wise of my old cat. So yea.. I got quite attached to him.

9. How about your least favorite companions?

Doc. Hands down, no list. Dude does not take "no" for an answer. Kira was close to killing him? Girl would have to get in line behind me as I throw his ass out the air lock. At least Tharan took the hint when you shoot him down, but fuck does Doc just not let it go if you're playing a female jedi. Not to mention he's so fucking full of himself. I could rant all day about this, and no shame to those that do like him, but Doc just rubbed me in all the wrong ways and there was no way I could get rid of him. He made a tedious playthrough like I was pulling teeth.

15. Show us your main(s)!

You mean fav swtor OCs/ my mains? Hell yeah!

First we have Isadola Ardeen Shir (Or known as Issie by those closest to her); Jedi Consular, Miraluka.

This girl can hide so much trauma in her.

I've been trying to write more stuff for her considering she's the Character I have almost literally all my time/progress on. I feel I need to do her backstory justice.

Now my other main, Or in Issie's case the other side of the mirror-

We have the Sith AU Issie, otherwise known as Atteia Ulla Shir, Sith Inquisitor.

Small changes in their shared backstory resulted in her becoming Sith instead. In this timeline she lost her original name, and was given another.

In some sense they are both the same person and different people. And if you forced them to meet, they would probably try to kill each other over who suffered more in what little of their pasts that they share, but would be stuck in a stalemate because they are both on the same power level as the other.

Best quote I can borrow for these two is from Bioshock Infinite: "Constants and Variables". These two are the almost literal embodiment of that quote.

[vespertine-legacy]

hello ‘dreadful au idea’ pls 👀🤲

Unfortunately this one is mostly just a bunch of notes moreso than a proper work-in-progress, but it opens with

who is ready for some extremely disjointed ideas for an AU I’ll never write about how the Dread Masters have lived so long and the tragedy of loving a villain

and the idea is, generally, that the Dread Masters are functionally immortal via a consciousness-transferring ritual—similar to what Zash wanted to do to the SI, only they’re better at it than Zash. They also still have their original bodies in stasis (for sentimentality? for a reminder of how far they’ve come and the fact that once they were constrained by mortality? to one day put themselves back into if they perfect true immortality?), and after Styrak’s defeat, it is an Experience for one of the surviving Masters to stand near his empty shell and feel the void he left behind, wondering if any part of him still lives on inside the husk floating in the stasis chamber

anyway in this au, Brontes is considering Eleison for her next host body, pitching it as a way that they can be together through anything, this idea of possession as an invitation, but being willing just makes you a willing sacrifice, and do you know for sure the line between self-sacrifice and self-destruction?

but yeah, there’s also notes on vampire!Dread Masters (both of the blood and Force variety) because of course I would

[themildestofwriters]

So, for my revised edition of The Sith, Zero, I've decided to split the first book into three. The new book one is the prologue, extended from four chapters to fifteen, give or take, plus an interlude-epilogue. This will not only extend the time with the characters involved, but flesh out the world, too. First chapter is a second POV, before we jump to Louise. Two chapters at the renamed Alvíss Institute of Tristain, following Louise's brief life there, before the next twelve chapters focus on her life as a slave to the Sith Empire. A bit has changed, including the fact that she's now bald, but it's the most like the previous rendition. Also, we get to see Louise's religious practices, which is always nice.

The second book, detailing her life at the Sith Academy is going to be tough. Originally it was 8 chapters, but I want to make it 30-ish. I want—no, need to balance not only her education (which serves as a good way of expositing how the Force works and the Sith operate in this time frame), but also her daily life, too. Friends, parties, failed romances, etc., etc. She's at a bording school for edgy teens, and will be there for three years compared to her original one year stay. The only issue is, that with extending her stay to three years, is that I gotta condense three years into 30 chapters of bullshit. While I think that's do-able, its still going to be complicated to create a throughline people can understand and properly follow.

Still, it follows the three act structure, with events slowly building to a decent climax. I have ideas for Louise to attend graduation, too, now that students are expected to pass their classes around the same time frame. A great big parade for newly minted Sith to walk the halls with their master in toe. Of course, I'm going with with standard set up for my series of "chapter one: different pov," with the epilogue always encompassing someone's experience post-Louise back on Alfheim (her homeworld). The prologue will be from Kory's perspective, following her experiences on the starship before they land on Korriban, seeing Louise from a third person perspective and watching how she grew.

Following that is the third book. Well, not exactly. The third book is going to be a novelette following Louise's experience on the Black Talon mission. It'll be the accumulation of her training, ending with her first real taste of the GFFA. Louise's military training will be referenced, and it'd be a good time for her to experience explicit anti-Sith sentiment from "the other side." I might follow the same rules as before, with the prologue being a different pov, but I'm not sure who. Khem Val is an obvious choice, but then who'd I choose for the next books' pov? Or maybe the novelette just doesn't get one, nor an Alfheim Interlude epilogue.

The actual third *novel* is going to be Louise's experiences on Dromund Kaas, not only as a student pursuing tertiary education along side her apprenticeship, but also experiencing her new job as Lord Zash's apprentice and what that entails. There'll also be ample room for her to explore Dromund Kaas, experience civilian life for the first time in three years, and develop her relationship with the rest of the cast. It will, naturally, showcase the Dromund Kaas plot line in detail, too, as the overarching narrative.

My original plan was, halfway through writing the Dromund Kaas book, I'd start posting the damn thing, but depending on how things go I might start posting the second I finish the Black Talon novelette. Along side, I'll also be commissioning an artist for book art, each one being posted along side the book it starts in. Louise at the academy, Louise as a slave, Louise as an acolyte, Louise as an apprentice, Louise as a Lord, Louise as a Dark Lord, etc.

As far as names go, what I have is thusly:

Book I: Fall Into Darkness

Book II: Path of the Sith

Book II.a: Black Talon

Book III: [tbh].

But that's the whole thing. One book of 20ish chapters turned into 3 books of 75 chapters, with an extra 5 for the novelette. I'm excited, honestly, and once that's done I'll be revamping the second book with the same treatment, and then continuing on from there.
