The prompt list for Cal Kestis Week 2024!

This event will run May 12 - May 18, 2024

Each prompt was carefully curated to work for a wide range of genres (excluding "Bad Ending," I feel like that speaks for itself.) The categories are "single word," "dialogue," "vibe," and "Star Wars."

No AI generated text or images will be promoted during this event.

All ships, genres, ratings, and formats are welcome just as long as they’re Cal-centric!

Any previews of art, fic, or other media will only be reblogged if they are SFW.

All works must be tagged with the appropriate ships and warnings.

If you are posting fanfiction on tumblr, any words beyond the first 500 must be under “read more.”

Works posted on tumblr will only be found/reblogged if they use the tag #calkestisweek2024 - that is the only tag being tracked.

Padawan group holophoto !! In a universes where Ahsoka, Cal, Trilla, Caleb and Barriss all know each other and everything is fine ! (let me dream) Not pictured : their masters (Obi-Wan included, Ahsoka is his padawan too) gushing at the cuteness behind the holocamera.

I'd like to think that Quinlan Vos helped Cal understand his psychometry when he was a youngling and/or a padawan, during quiet times, to Jaro Tapal complete dismay who wouldn't want any bad influence on his padawan. (no weapons involved, only nice things, with sweet echoes. Quinlan is not THAT irresponsible. I think. Aayla turned out okay after all) With all the banter involving links with other characters like Greez interest in Yaddle or even Qui-Gon friendship with Cordova, I think it would have been cute to learn more form Cal and his childhood at the Temple.

(Close up under the cut !)

Thank you sooooooooooo much for the art! It's really brightened my *entire* week <3 You're so talented!!!!

You're welcome ! I'm so glad I made you happy with it, even more if I made your week better ^^

Your stories are always delightful when I read them, they make me so happy and always bring so much inspiration for me to draw even if I rarely dare. For once I was brave and did it and I'm very proud of it !

Ok, so I couldn't get this out of my head since i read this wonderful one shot. Thank you @breakfastteatime for bringing Cal with a braid crown to us. So, may I present you : Queen Kestis of the Stinger Mantis.

Bonus Merrin being very proud of her hard work because she deserves the praises.

Cal wakes up from a nap. Oops, fell asleep on the couch again. He's so dozy, so comfy, maybe he'll drift off again and...

Wait.

Something feels different about his head. He stirs, brushing the blanket pulled up to his chin.

"Shhh. Go back to sleep." It's Merrin. She must be sitting next to his head. "I am not finished yet."

Her fingers are in his hair, brushing through and separating small handfuls into trios. The feeling is familiar, a distant memory from so long ago. He feels himself relaxing. "Why're you braiding my hair?" he asks, although it sounds more like "whyybraidnmuhheyh?"

Somehow, Merrin interprets his mushy words. "It is shiny. And pretty."

"S'not."

"Oh, yes, it is." There's a gentle tug as she deftly braids. "Fiery. Like my magicks."

"S'green."

"Hush, Cal. Let me finish."

Cal zones out, drifting into memories of Master Tapal patiently plaiting his braid, tying it off with the finest of thread. It never seemed possible for someone with such huge hands, and yet Master Tapal managed it every time. Sometimes he would tug on it to get Cal's attention. Other times, if he couldn't grab the hood of Cal's robes fast enough, he'd grab Cal's braid instead, and that never failed to bring Cal to a sudden and complete halt - usually before he wandered into traffic in the Brave's landing bay. He smiles at the memories, at the warmth, the tradition, the simplicity.

Merrin probably isn't going in for simplicity. Maybe he'll look like Cere did in that echo he picked up from Trilla's lightsaber. She looked so awesome with her hair like that. Could he grow his hair out that long? His pictures it - autumn reds, oranges and golds trailing all the way down his back, tied in intricate braids...

...who is he kidding? He'd sling it back in a ponytail and be done with it.

He giggles to himself.

"You are strange, Cal," Merrin tells him.

She has no idea.

A few minutes later, Merrin's fingers pull away. "Done. You may wake up. BD? You can come and look now."

Familiar feet tippy-tappy their way over. BD gives a long, slow beep of awe, and then the light of his scanner shines through Cal's eyelids.

Pretty, BD declares.

"I am not pretty," Cal grumbles.

"You are. You are a pretty princess," Merrin says. "BD, quick, make a recording."

"Excuse you, I'm no princess, I am a queen," Cal corrects.

"Forgive us, Your Majesty," Merrin says.

Curiosity wins and he opens his eyes, sits, frees his hands from the blanket, and explores his head. What he finds is a series of small, tight braids encircling his head - much like a crown. He leans forward and catches a glimpse of his reflection on the table. "Huh."

"You like it?" Merrin asks. "Cere explained to me how to do it, but it is easier to practice on somebody else."

"I do like it," Cal says. "It's really practical. Keeps it out of my eyes, too."

The hatch opens. Cere and Greez board the ship, both carrying several grocery bags. Cere clocks Cal first, nodding in approval. Greez does a double-take, puts down his bags, and moves in for a closer inspection.

"Well?" Cal asks, moving his head to really show it off.

"I love it!" Greez gushes. "I mean I really love it. I want it. I want that style right now."

"When you have more hair, I will teach you how," Merrin says.

He grins. "It's a deal. You heard it here, folks, Greezy is officially growing his hair out."

I saw that someone made the Stinger Mantis with gummi blocks in KH3. Now imagine Sora, Donald and Goofy (with Chip and Dale) changing the look of the Gummi Ship to look like a mini-Mantis and destroying Heartless ship with it. Greez would be proud. And scared. But mainly proud. (now I can't help but think that building thing with gummi blocks like Legos would be a really good pass time for Cal who's been used to dismantle things on Bracca)

Kingdom Hearts / Fallen Order crossover in which Donald Duck and Greez play sabacc.

(since the replies don't work/appear for me, I will be replying like this) My childhood (first, actually) game meeting my favorite game ? Sign me in ! Now I can't help but imagine the Gummi Ship parked next to the Mantis and Greez being slightly scared yet amazed by this weird and colorful abomination. BD-1 WOULD want a gummi block customization, I'm sure. And Cal would do it for him. ... just imagined the Mantis crew seeing Xemnas and his "lightsabers", oh god. I always thought Star Wars and Kingdom Hearts had many similarities in the world building and the approach about dark and light (well, Kingdom Hearts give it a more... "tangible and visible" approach, Star Wars is more subtle and conceptual with it) as well as Anakin and Terra stories ! Now I want to see it. Damn.

I take more time to take photos in this game than actually play the game, it’s note my fault if the game is so pretty ! Look at the details in Cal’s eyes, and the freckles !! (I love that he is practically covered in them, he finally saw some sun after Bracca and Fallen Order)

I wanted to take a sreenshot of a cool finisher, I was a little too late but found myself not disappointed when I saw that Cal was SMILING. Like... a genuinely happy kind of smile. I don’t think I ever saw a screenshot of him smiling like that in game so I wanted to share. My poor boy deserves a life full of smiles and happiness. (even if it’s by brutally murdering a bounty hunter who made him run all over Jedha)

cal kestis literally came out here and said that media can portray men dealing with serious trauma in a way that doesn’t involve anger and violence and that men in video games can experience the most horrific shit and still be gentle and compassionate and sincere and care so fucking much that it eats them up inside and STILL go on being gentle after all that

I remembered this scene from Mulan where she finds the doll in the massacred village and I just couldn’t get the idea out of my head, of Cal finding an abandoned plush on Zeffo, sensing an echo and finding out what happened to its owner after the Empire’s establishment on the planet. I HAD to redo the scene with him.

Drawing this made me feel Feelings™ and I just want to give Cal a big hug now.
