I’m Reading All The Dragon Jedi Asks, And Suddenly I Get An Image Of Dragon!Plo With His Wings Tightly

Most Jedi dragons don't have hoards but Plo Koon sure does have a lot of sons

I see this and raise you: all Jedi have hoards but most Jedi keep them to small benign things. Obi-Wan hoards tea. Anakin hoards droid parts. Mace hoards the general concept of the Republic. Agen hoards grenades. Plo just happened to be between hoards when the Clone Wars started and claimed the entire GAR before anyone else could. All the other Council members are salty about this, and Plo is massively smug. 

Fictober 2021 -- Day 6

One of these nights, Xaja was going to get a full night of restful, uninterrupted sleep. Tonight was not that night, she mused as she gifted Valkorion a scowl.

“Glare all that you like, Jedi,” the former Emperor sneered as he continued to pace around her brain. “It changes nothing. You must be strong enough to defeat my children, and you will only reach that with my help–”

“Yes, yes, I know how this goes,” Xaja sighed. “You drone on about how I apparently need you to kick Arcann’s miserable cyborg ass out of the known galaxy, I point out that I killed your last two meatsuits without any Sithly intervention, you mutter about Jedi wretches and liken my abilities to a child with a lucky streak. Didn’t we already have this conversation?”

“You aren’t even a child with a lucky streak,” Valkorion retorted. “Compared to me, you are barely an embryo.”

“And compared to me, you’re old enough to be a Rakata. Ancient, outdated, and overdue for extinction.”

“Impertinent brat,” growled the dead Sith. “You would not be so flippant if you knew the powers that I yet possess, even while trapped in your head.”

“Yeah, the same ones that saved you from me twice already? I have yet to be impressed.”

“And how do you think to free yourself of me when you can hardly stab yourself with one of your lightsabers?” Valkorion chuckled cruelly. “You are bound to me, Jedi.”

“Eww.” Xaja made a face; immature though her reaction was, she was gratified to see Valkorion roll his eyes. “I’ll figure out a way to get you out of my head, and then I’m throwing your miserable spirit into a black hole.”

“I’m curious to see how you’ll achieve that.”

“Through sheer fucking spite.”

“Petty as well as impertinent, and ungrateful. Or have you forgotten how you survived Arcann’s lightsaber?”

“Again – spite.”

“I am many things. The embodiment of ‘spite’ is not one of them.”

“No, ‘embodiment’ would require you to have a body. Mine definitely doesn’t count.”

Valkorion scowled. “I should have let you die on Asylum, Jedi. If only there were another option in the galaxy with anywhere near the strength to defeat my children.”

“Yeah, well, there isn’t. And I still don’t need your help in dealing with your spawn.” Xaja turned her back on Valkorion and imagined herself closing her eyes, banishing the old bastard from her mind. “Now piss off.”

“You will live to regret that,” Valkorion warned as he finally faded into nothingness. 

Roll her eyes though Xaja might, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the deranged old lunatic was plotting something. Shuddering, she opened her eyes to the darkness of her and Theron’s quarters on Odessen, feeling the reassuring weight of her boyfriend’s arm over her stomach and his breath tickling her shoulder. With Theron there, it was easier to close her eyes again and slowly drift off into sleep, although one part of her mind always stayed vigilant, watching for any signs of Valkorion intruding in her dreams again.

That sounds like flirty

Tenma: They say if you stare at the sun, you’ll cry.

Tenma: *stares at Taiyou*

Tenma: They were right.

Holy mother of... This is freaking amazing

got tired of messing around with the textures so much so here we go- danganronpa sprite style Genda, I tried my best and I guess it’s decent for the first try?

The Jedi make a lot more sense if you look at them through the lens of harm reduction.

A lot of criticisms run along the lines of "they lost the moral high ground by joining the war" and framing the discussion like that misses the point entirely.

It was never about having an arbitrary amount of Good Guy Points at the end of the day. It was about lessening harm as much as their position allowed.

In fact, if you go into any discussion about how to help people with the idea that there is a moral high ground, you've already lost! You are having the wrong conversation. Keep walking.

There is no good or bad here. Just people.

I don't want people to do hard drugs, because it's bad for them. However, I cannot wave a magic wand and make people stop wanting to do drugs. You know what I can do, though? Support a needle exchange program!

I don't want people to do hard drugs, but I've accepted that a needle exchange will alleviate suffering. Does increasing access to harmful drugs go against my personal sense of ethics? Sure! Does that change the fact that needle exchanges help people survive long enough until they can get into treatment? Nope!

The war was never gonna vanish if the Jedi resisted being drafted. They realized that. They understood that the way they could do the most good, spare the most lives, was by accepting the appointment and having some power to effect change rather than none at all.

Is it a perfect solution? Of course not! But harm reduction is about accepting that there are no perfect solutions, and that you are sometimes gonna have to do shit you don't personally like in order to help.

Helping people is not about your ego. It doesn't matter how you feel about the zoomed-out conceptual view, because your personal feelings have no bearing on someone else's suffering.

Anytime the argument drifts into bleating about how peacekeepers shouldn't fight, the thread is lost.

okay you know what I would absolutely kill for? younger teenage Luke and Leia accidentally meeting up (maybe Luke stole a ship, or got arrested) and Obi-Wan having to (a) find them, and (b) stop them from destroying everything in their path once he does.

I just want to watch him attempt to reason with two very angry, very powerful fourteen year olds whose dearest wish is to blow up an imperial cruiser. Negotiator indeed.

happy birthday kazemaru (feb 1st)

Togruta Marking Headcanons (Evolutionary and Epigenetic)

Okay, so the question is:

Do you think togruta markings are purely genetic or partly genetic and partly influenced by the environment?

e.g. a stressful adolescence leads to more complex markings/breakage

This conversation was had in large part on discord with @atagotiak and @dracothulhu.

Keep reading

If size is factored by horde size, most dragons would be modest, probably tie fighter sized. Mace would be the biggest, if the concept of the republic translated properly! Yoda the next biggest bc his horde is the whole order. Then Plo is suddenly MUCH bigger than Yoda bc he went from claiming his Padawans and Searched kiddos t the entire GAR.
