#Xanatos mention

[phoenixyfriend]

ONLY ONE IS CANON. PLEASE READ THE QUESTION.

* For the purposes of this poll, both Legends and Disney qualify as canon.

** Eminent domain

Don't give away the answer before the poll ends! I'll reblog with an explanation once it's done.

"Why the big red--" I've already had five people vote in the wrong direction.

Okay so I want to make an arranged marriage AU for Obi-Wan/Jango. But like. Instead of it being all ‘neither of us want this’ it’s a contract that they both willingly signed and honestly it was obsession at first sight.

Lemme explain.

See, Stewjon (ruled by King Yoda and his mess of adopted kids, so adoption is very common on the planet and they don’t even mind that Prince Jango already has kids) is a peaceful little world that cares about arts, parties, and farming. It’s a mixture of fun and practical. Most Mandalorians think it’s kinda shallow, but fun for party weekends to run off to. A lot of New Mandalorians that still hate the republic send their kids off to school there.

Obi-Wan is 25 minutes late to the meeting and Jango is all ‘you know what, I can handle not having to entertain him, clearly he’s got better things to do Lmao, this marriage will be easy’ and then the next minute someone flings open the meeting room doors, and you can just SEE Prince Qui-Gon’s face fall. He’s been toting the qualities of his baby son for the whole time they’ve been there, talking about the art degrees the kid has (Obi likes painting and sculpting in canon okay) and Jango is all ‘that’s great, he can paint his own wedding armor I’m sure it’ll be lovely’ and about how Obi-Wan is great with kids and loves to read ‘that’s great, he can entertain my father AND son at the same time’

And then the door slams open, and in comes a wild looking Xanatos, physically dragging a snarling young man who’s trying to bite through Xanatos’s wrist.

‘DAD HES TRYING TO REMOVE MY HAND’

‘Oh my. He’s not normally so… violent.’

‘THATS A FUCKING LIE AND YOU KNOW IT’

Anyways, Obi-Wan is eventually soothed into submission when Jango, who can’t stop laughing, asks if Obi-Wan really finds him so distasteful, cause he can just leave if so. Obi-Wan, after pulling his slightly bloody mouth off his brother’s arm with an air of dainty sweetness, just licks his chops and mentions Xanatos told him the Mandalorians would take away his pet Varactyl because they wouldn’t want Boga running around the city.

Jango just laughs even harder and tells him he can have whatever big dangerous pets he wants to. Obi-Wan gets up to go meet his new future husband and inform him that he would like a nexu. Jango says yes but also gifts him a new virodagger that makes Obi-Wan squeal about how pretty it is.

Jaster expected them to leave the planet with a very tenacious plan for breaking off the marriage but instead Jango is sighing lovingly and telling his new beloved that they shan’t be parted for much longer. Lovesick strill pups at first sight.

#star wars #obi wan kenobi #jango fett #jangobi #give me an arranged marriage where they immediately decide it’s gonna be awesome #Jango thinks Obi is cute all covered in blood and lookin sweet #Obi wants to ride Jango’s face that’s a nice face #he’s also indulgent and has a nice laugh and willing to let him keep his girl boga so those are important too #but that’s a nice face right there #stewjon is now actually the kingdom of the Jedi lol they’re still Jedi just weirder #boga is their flower girl #she lets boba and omega ride on her back down the aisle #also Obi is very feral he nuzzles Jango in greeting like a cat #feral obi wan

I love how Xanatos, who will be our main villain, was first shown in full daylight, looking expectantly up at a castle it sounds like he's been trying to locate for some time.

It's his assistant Owen who we watch emerge from shadow, cool and collected and worried about costs.

Given we don't know the roles of all the players yet, this could be a nice little misdirect. Xanatos is full of life and eager and bulldozing on with a passion that doesn't consider 'astronomical costs.' Those are usually traits reserved for protagonists I feel like. So maybe the villain will be the man close to the wealthy guy. Perhaps there's internal strife and betrayal. Own is far more suspicious than Xanatos just yet.

We move on to more explicitly stated risk. Not only is this venture incredibly costly and we don't yet even know why Xanatos is undertaking it, but he just ran alone into a castle known locally to be haunted, which we didn't know before, though certainly we could see that there could be risk of going into ruins that may be structurally unsound before.

I also really love that after Owen mentions the cost, Xanatos's response utterly ignores it, and he's looking at Goliath as he first speaks over Owen's concerns. Just, 'hire the crews!'

Hey Kat! Feel free not to answer, but I wondered if you had any wips involving Granta and Feemor interacting?

I'm getting caught up on Dead Tree Flowers right now, and got to thinking about how Granta compares with Feemor in Shades- how they feel about and work around being forgotten, how they see Dooku, their interactions with the clones who remember them, etc

Feemor will actually be turning up in the next part of dead tree flowers, which is going to be a lot more focused on Coruscant/Jedi/Xanatos's influence. It won't be forgettable!Feemor, though - that one is fairly unique to shades, since it was started as a cracky justification for Feemor only showing up once in canon and then never being mentioned again.

That's mostly why I haven't written them together before, tbh. I know that people want that particular dynamic, but I do not want it to become A Thing™ in fandom, so I'm avoiding it outside of that particular story. Which, like. is fully a Me thing, since I've had bad experiences with headcanons or cracky ideas starting to pervade a fandom corner before, but still.

Y'know how there's "Dad lore" (stuff your dad says that's batshit about his youth and then never says again)

Well these are characters that fit that description (for star wars)

All of Qui-Gon's padawans

All of them Xanatos is obvious but Feemor and Obi just offhandedly mention shit as it comes up.

This is because they inherited it from Dooku (we all know Qui-Gon cannot shut the fuck up)

Cere Junda if you played fallen order you know why.

I feel like Greeze falls into this category but only slightly because if you provoke him he'll tell you about when he used to sell drugs but nothing else.

Luminara I love her but she's cryptic as hell.

99 I know he's got some good shit being in the barracks for that long AND overlooked man's got wild story's to tell.

Fox but only because he's ranting about the chancellor and he'll slip up and share some trauma.

Cody has the vode scrambling with flimsi every time he even mentions his training.

Ok might be a silly question but how much of the melida/daan stuff and xanatos stuff is canon, if any?

Hi! Not a silly question at all, it depends on which continuity you're working with: - In Lucas' continuity (first six movies + seasons 1-6 of TCW), it's not canon at all, it's never mentioned and Legends was never part of his Star Wars - In Legends (anything from the Expanded Universe pre-2014), they're canon. They're primarily from the Jedi Apprentice books, but occasionally mention of the events will show up in other comics/books (like Obi-Wan nearly aging out, Xanatos' existence, etc.) - In Disney canon, none of it is mentioned in connection with Obi-Wan at all and cannot happen in the same way. The age limit of 13 for Jedi Padawans does not exist, Xanatos does not seem to exist, etc. Bant and Siri have been recanonized as characters, but Obi-Wan has a different friend group growing up here (Siri, Prie, and Bolla were his hellion friends this time). Apparently, the planet of Melida/Daan was recanonized in the most recent novel Convergence, but I haven't finished it yet and it's set in the High Republic (like 350 years before the prequels), so it cannot have the same existence as it did in Legends. Feel free to mix and match whatever you personally would like! That's what fandom is for and loads of cool things can be created that way! But, while it can get complicated that pieces exist in Disney's canon, the events of Melida/Daan and Xanatos do not exist in that continuity if we're talking what's actually canon to them and cannot because the worldbuilding is different!

Obi-Wan talking about his early apprenticeship with Qui-Gon in the Jedi Path novel is KILLING ME

also, the mention of Xanatos here?? DEAD ON THE GROUND.

[readsalot1]

I would like there to be a fic where the "three solobrats" and early love interests (YJK, JJK era, so A/T, J/TK, J/Z) end up time-travelling to the prequel era (probably shortly after Geonosis), and the Organa-Solo kids are excited to meet their not-evil-yet granddad.

This goes off the rails when Tahiri freaks out as soon as Anakin 1.0 enters because that is the monster of folklore who slaughtered a whole tribe of Tuskens, down to the youngest baby.

Because you can't convince me that in this AU a) Anakin doesn't go down as some sort of ghost/horror story in Tusken culture, and b) curious baby force-sensitive Tahiri didn't wander off at some point and end up seeing the echo of the slaughter.

The prequel-era council obviously freaks out about 1. the time travel, 2. some of the time travelers are Anakin 1.0's descendants, 3. Anakin 1.0 apparently committed genocide (note: the fandom doesn't view this with the right amount of horror, even in light of his second genocide--the Jedi), and decides to temporarily suspend his duties until they can perform an investigation of sorts into his decision-making capabilities.

Anakin 1.0 is initially thrilled because OMG GRANDKIDS and one of them is named after him (wahoo!!), but quickly becomes pissy because the friend of his mini-me (EW, she was raised by Tusken Raiders [careful Ani1, your racism is showing] even though she's human) gets him in trouble with the council.

Anakin 2.0 now has even more issues/worries about his namesake, and turning out like him [note: this was a big plot point in his early appearances].

Jaina & Jacen are kinda worried about this because now their granddad was bad from an earlier point??? and they don't know what to do with that. (Jacen is jumping from joy because a bunch of animals that went extinct during the Empire's rule are still alive; Jaina finds out there were apparently seven lightsaber forms before Knightfall, and decides to crash all the basic training classes. This is hilarious because she's older than the enrolled students for the more basic forms like Shii-cho.)

Tenel Ka and Zekk are along for the ride:

("Wait, she's the heir to the Hapes Consortium?" "yes" "and they're letting her be a Jedi too?" "yep" "politically is that allowed?!?" "I mean her mom's from Dathomir?" **jedi padawan noises of imploded worldview**)

("so Zekk what about you" "oh, I'm a Coruscanti street rat :)" "ah ok, so the order found you easily!" "I guess your version would, but the Jedi got massacred, so I didn't start training until I was a teenager :)" **choking noises** "oh yeah, Emperor Palpatine was a total hardass, I'm so glad my friend's parents got rid of him, I'd probably be dead or totally evil if he was still in power" --at this point the padawan(s?) they're chatting to [maybe Barriss; she seems politically aware enough to worry about the heir of a major political power also being a Jedi--she's probably also read about Xanatos] decides to bring them to the council)

It goes something like "Didn't they mention, Darth Vader & the clones slaughtered pretty much the entire Order. Some of the younger padawans escaped (their masters died for them (and oh, doesn't that hit hard)) and ran until dark siders who served the Emperor hunted them down (this can be vaguely compliant with some Rebels content; assume the Rebellion-era is more fusion with new canon, except Thrawn doesn't engage as much with the Lothal cell, and thus is around for the Thrawn trilogy on to proceed (thus inquisitors exist and so too do the Hands--maybe Mara is Palpy's spy in the inquisorius's ranks; Starkiller can be Vader's; Death Star plan theft follows TFU more than R1) it hits hard that some of their own (their children, their future) work to destroy the vestiges of what they were).

Then they find out that Darth Vader, the Sith Apprentice--the emperor's attack dog, his right hand--is Anakin (1.0), the boy they took in, the one they protected, the one some viewed as their savior, the boy winning battle after battle, the one shining bright, the Hero With No Fear, the boy whose fear of losing everything, everyone he cares about is slowly tearing him to shreds, the foolish, foolish boy who will doom the galaxy to save one person and fail at that, the buy who burned and burned, scorching those around him until he was alone, and still burning, until he burned himself to save another foolish boy, the younger burning like a candle, steadily, warmly, rather than like the sun, and Anakin (they can't bring themselves to hate him, even knowing what he will do--they see the sweet child who loved his mother, who wanted to free all the slaves in the galaxy), seeing the warm, kind candlelight of the other boy, the brave, foolish child, his child, his son, and knowing he will burn him, sees the vacuum of space (the cold, cold man who made him burn everyone, who made him lose everyone, until only the vacuum was left behind, the only one he could not burn away), sure to take the air around the lone, kind candle, and the sun (Anakin) burns itself (himself) out, becomes a supernova to push the vacuum (empty, cold, always hungry) away from the candle (the son), and saves the brave, foolish boy who came to help him, but he feared burning most of all (the burning sun of Tatooine burns himself out, after burning with hatred for the better part of two decades, for another desert child, one who burns with warmth, like a hearthfire, and asks for the girl who burns (with the passion of justice, with compassion, the girl who is like him but not for instead of burning the world for those she loves, she who would burn herself out, the girl who would burn her enemies (those who seek the harm the world) for any who deserve kindness, who burns internally, but is willing to burn others as well) to forgive him, and she does, eventually, she names her steady hearthfire of a son after him, and hopes against hope that he (her son, one of her three suns) will have a happy ending, that he will not burn himself out like his grandfather, his namesake [Anakin, her son, he burns too: for his siblings (they will burn as well, his brother like his grandfather--maybe he should have been Anakin instead--and his sister, burning, the one to put out her twin's light, twin suns of Tatooine, one snuffed out the other), his friends (they break apart, the group splintering, fragmented after the war is won; even before), his love (she breaks, in a way not even being shaped by the black holes, put under pressure in the hope of her becoming one, can do; for a while she fades away to almost nothing, invisible, until the brother, seeing the broken, invisible girl takes her, and tries to make the broken puppet of a girl dance for him; it works for a time, building more cracks in her skin until she shatters, and the people who loved him, Anakin the second, the bright boy who burned himself away too soon, see the girl again, no longer invisible, and try to help her [pray they are not too late to put her (shattered, porcelain, crushed spirit, a shell of her former bright self) together again]), for the galaxy; but at this part of the story we don't know his fate, to burn and burn until there is nothing left, until the force takes him away, to burn so hot, so bright, so light, that his enemies (true voids in the force--black holes--not like the cold, hungry vacuum that desired, took the sun of his grandfather) burned away as well; he burns away, but as a hero. This does not stop his mother from her agony; it is all his father can do to hold himself together to stop her shattering like the girl everyone forgot, the invisible girl who loved his son, who would (and does) do anything for the memory of a boy who left the galaxy too soon].

This is the story they tell: of the angry sun who burns everyone (especially even those who offer him kindness), the boy-candle, the girl who burns with the heat of a thousand suns but never harms those undeserving of that fury, the scoundrel with the hard exterior who inside is kind, the brave wookie warrior who lives [and dies, though they will not know it for a time] to protect them, the saviors of the galaxy;

and others as well: the girl who was almost snuffed out by the vacuum, who burned as a quiet ember, whose flame was reawakened by the boy-candle; the boy who parallels her, who was trained by the angry sun to burn like him but refused, who burned out over and over again trying to prove himself, and, in the end, burned out to save the galaxy, who sent the message to the rebels that worked to end the war [the message, that, too late for some, still saved billions, perhaps trillions of lives, had it not been sent (how many worlds could have shared Alderaan's fate?)].

12, 13 and 22 (Feemor) for fandom ask please!!

12. funniest/craziest AU I've come up with

Idk man, at this point I've made it my explicit goal to come up with wack stuff that no one else before me thought of, so....

But my top 5 crazy ideas that are brewing in the back of my mind as of now include:

teen Jocasta timetravels forward to the tcw era and saves the republic by claiming to be herself and Dooku's lovechild

post o66 Korkie Kryze accidentally mandopts kidnaps Korto Vos and then it's a comedy of errors empire survival story. They probably team up with the rest of Korkies buddies and also Jin-Lo Ryce bc I love him.

backwards timetravel where all the nerds + Arath and Lorian wake up in their child bodies after their canon deaths and then go off and take over Serenno (it makes sense in the AU i swear) (or it doesn't and still is a fun story)

Jaster & Tarre teamup of total nerdery where they get sent back in time by the Manda to save Mandalore, only their idea for saving Mandalore hinges on saving the Jedi Order first. It's another Master Jereel (my beloved) story where no one except them themselves believe they are doing an amazing job at impersonating Jedi.

speaking of Tarre: my complete backstory for Tarre Vizsla and how the most cringefail jedi to ever jedi was so bad at jedi-ing that he accidentally became mand'alor

but tbh there's so many other whack stories I've already wrote, am writing or simply brainstormed about that there's always others I could talk about. These were just the ones that came to mind first.

13. character/ship I haven't drawn/written yet but want to

hmmm lemme think whom I have done total zero for as of now (I've got a ton of stuff on the backburner that y'all haven't seen yet bc it's spoilery for certain fics)

this is actually really difficult hahahahaha bc whenever a character or a ship piques my interest I tend to immediately do *something* with them, hmmm.

OH!

Grand Admiral Sloane!

I've already planned her to be a character in my sequels rewrite, but I've never come around writing any of it! But it will happen!!

And as for the ship, hmmm. (this question is getting a lot of 'hmms'). Maybe Pre and someone. I've done Pretine stuff already, but I think Pre/Jedi ships have some potential. Crack potential, mostly.

Yeah, that's the only one I can think of.

22. A headcanon for FEEMOR

My boi!! I love him, he is so funny.

I think I've mentioned it before, but I think the funniest thing to do with him is giving him all the makings of a chosen one/anime protagonist and then have him stubborn his way into just being A Normal Guy.

Xanatos calls him a farmer, but what Xani doesn't know is that that's the biggest compliment Feemor could receive. Fee is just the 'Refusal of The Call' trope personified and he is so good at doing it the Force actually eventually gives up on making him its chosen one.

All he wants is to be left alone, help some people and sleep 8 hours a day. Is that so much to ask?

(it is, for someone in the disaster lineage, but Feemor comes by the Yoda stubbornness truly)

#eyyyy thanks for letting me gush a bit about my ideas and headcanons!!!! #random boli thoughts #star wars #me writing #answering asks #ask game #i love doing these

If Disney is actually going through with the Gargoyles live action movie, they better get it right! This was so much more than a cartoon. We weren't treated like children as viewers, we were treated like intelligent individuals that could understand a complex narrative.

Gargoyles was what introduced many of us to Shakespeare, gave us the Xanatoes trope, and so, so much more.

I didn't see any mention of Greg Weisman when the remake was discussed. I'm hoping they hire him on in some capacity.

[honey-minded-hivemind]

Hello! I'm still mostly taking a break, but, I think maybe a platonic yandere post will help cheer me up! And it's going to be my first non-Marvel platonic yandere idea/concept. So.

Platonic Yandere Disney's Gargoyles

I'm sorry, but what's not to love? The characters, the diversity, the heavier topics, the moral lessons, the Shakespeare references-! And if there was a platonic yandere au for it, there are. So. Many. Options. (So guess what I'm making-)

Like, imagine a Reader who is one of Elisa's siblings, but possibly the youngest?

Or someone who is with her, possibly someone who needed help/protection, so the police/justice system put them with her?

Or if Reader were a gargoyle with the Manhattan Clan from the beginning?

Or maybe Reader is a relative to Owen or Fox or Xanatos?

So. Many. Options.

Not to mention that protecting things, people, anything and anyone loved by them, is in a gargoyle's nature. And the fact everyone has some trust issues they slowly work on. And it's the 90s, so, not as much internet, and everything takes extra effort, so that opens up ways for Reader to get involved (such as looking up stuff in the library, running errands, riding a bike around the area, looking for clues that aren't easily found, etc.)

So... I guess in the comments, I wouldn't mind hearing which character is your favorite. I'm still on break, yes. But I don't mind if y'all want to talk about favorites while I'm out. I might even comment my favorite, but we'll see. I wish y'all the best💛

AU where Jango lives and somehow Jango and Dooku manage to get a hold of Obi-Wan at the same time and for once Jango is torn on who to go for first, arguably, Obi-Wan is the better target, seeing as Obi is less likely to hurt his son if he manages to win their fight and will likely drop Boba off with a more pandering adult to take care of him, but Dooku is Right There and he would very much like to murder him, but who knows if Obi-Wan’s family instincts will kick in and protect his ba’buir. But then. Dooku. Is just standing there. Vibrating at a frequency so high he’s almost able to perceive Qui-Gon in the force through that alone, 17 caffs into a binge on day 5 away with an annoying ghost son in his ear threatening that if he hurts Obi-Wan in any way whatsoever the first thing Qui-Gon is doing when he dies is punching him in the face and no he can’t hurt the baby clone either might as well just take a step back from this situation as a whole cause it’s not gonna go good, so, being the smart man Dooku is, Dooku just sorta shrugs (in the force, he’s so tense rn he couldn’t shrug if he tried) and proceeds to kidnap all three of them (confused preteen Boba is confused but relatively okay lmao) and that’s how Obi-Wan and Jango wake up locked inside a lovely set of ‘guest quarters’ in the Count’s palace with Boba and now they have to cohabitate with Dooku occasionally coming in to cry about how perfectly stupid Qui-Gon was as a small child and how he’d bitten So Many People and Qui-Gon says Obi-Wan bit even more as a kid than he did and Jango is just sitting here listening to a (tired??? Drunk???? Unsober. We’re calling that Unsober) Dooku cry about how perfectly feral his kids were and how most of their family is DEAD and it’s always falling to the dark side that does them in and Komari was ferally adorable as a wee one and Xanatos had been the bubbliest lil boy before Qui-Gon spoiled him too much and now Obi-Wan is somehow the most sunshine of their lineage while Obi-Wan looks on in horror at his childhood being spilled like this before mentioning that maybe Grandmaster should take a nap only to be picked up by said grandmaster and cried on because ‘he called me grandmaster! Fett did you hear that the sunshine baby called me Grandmaster!’ And Jango is like ‘god I wish I had a camera this could be so much blackmail’ and then finally Jango and Obi manage to escape with a still confused Boba (it’s his natural state) and make their way back to a very annoyed 212th where Jango is all ‘listen. I’ve thought about it. And I’ve decided I’m marrying Kenobi.’ And Obi is like ‘you are???? Why???’ ‘According to your ba’buir you’re the only good one’ and now Cody and Waxer and Boil are staging a ‘YOURE NOT MY DAD’ protesting fit and Obi-Wan is so confused at this turn of situation. Wtf.

Goliath does seem to let his guard down in the ecstasy of this carefully chosen moment by Demona to ask him to do this. I do think he is having this sense of no cost being too much to keep this happiness right now. But I also sense that Goliath was already reconsidering his take on their enemies, if not necessarily planning to help Xanatos exactly as he wants, up to this point. If he can be so tracked down and attacked, then certainly they are still vulnerable in the first place those same people attacked them originally.

But I mentioned a carefully chosen time. What moment could be more peak happiness than when they are all reunited together. And also by asking for such a favor in front of everybody after all this glee, it would put Goliath in a very awkward spot to turn her down. It wouldn't just be her he'd be turning down, but the entirety of this happy moment and of the other gargoyles. It's a very manipulative tactic. In the past, she waited until moments of privacy to question him or ask him to do things she suspected he wouldn't want to. But not anymore. Now if he wants to deny her, he must do it in front of everyone and accept making a scene or giving in. And once you give in, it is harder to take it back then never giving in at all.

We are certainly beginning to learn who this new Demona is even if her voice an mannerisms suggest the old one.

You're Such a Xanatos!

Monster Monday, October 16, 2023

Fic-tober Masterlist

Summary: There are gargoyles everywhere, but you seem to be the only one noticing them. When you tell Dalton, he expresses concern.

Warnings: fluff, pranks, pet names, maybe a tiny bit of angst?, references/names (no spoilers) from Gargolyes (1994-1997), very brief and vague mention of the events of The Red Door (2023). 1k+ words.

A/N: I love Gargoyles but I know it's not super popular, so sorry if this doesn't make sense. The gif is Goliath if you've never seen the show. Honestly, I don't think you have to know the show to understand this but idk. (There might be an American Psycho reference too, I don't remember if I deleted it or not.) Hope you enjoy! :)

They are everywhere. You’re all for the Halloween spirit on campus, but everywhere you look, there are gargoyles. The first one you encountered was before you left for class; opening your curtains, you were met with a gargoyle on the corner of the building across from you. After leaving for class, you encountered more at every corner and several along windows. No one else seems to mind them, so maybe it’s a thing here.

When your class is dismissed, Dalton is waiting at the end of the hall to walk with you, as always.

“Hey,” he greets, smiling as he hugs you tightly.

“Hi,” you reply, relaxing in his arms.

“Your dorm or mine?”

“Yours is good. Is Chris coming over tonight?”

“She’s supposed to. Says she’s bringing, and I quote, ‘the best food you will ever try,’” Dalton answers with air quotes.

“Oh, boy.”

Dalton’s arm lays across your shoulders as he leads you through the crowd exiting the building, holding you close to his side. Looking up at him, you notice the gargoyles are inside, too, yet no one is even looking at them. Shaking your head, you try to ignore them but feel like you’re losing your mind more with each one you see.

Dalton either doesn’t see the gargoyles or doesn’t care. He talks about his art assignment as he walks, and you try to focus on his words instead of the cement monsters looking at you from every angle.

“I think I’ll draw a picture from the day we went to the beach,” Dalton says, drawing your attention as he grips your shoulder. “What do you think?”

“I would be honored; it sounds beautiful, like everything you draw. Although I may need a copy for myself.”

When you enter Dalton’s dorm building, gargoyles sit on every surface.

“What is up with the gargoyles?” you ask, throwing your hands up in exasperation.

“Gargoyles?” Dalton asks, furrowing his brows as he dips his chin to look into your eyes.

“Yes! They’re everywhere but no one seems to care, or even notice them!”

“Sweetheart,” Dalton says gently. His voice and the pet name send a shiver down your spine. “What are you talking about?”

“Are you kidding me?”

Dalton shakes his head, and you become convinced you’ve lost it. If you haven’t, Dalton is behind it, which doesn’t seem likely. Not impossible, though.

“I’m losing my mind,” you whisper, looking at one of the dog-like statues.

Reaching out to touch it, it’s solid under your finger. You look at Dalton and point, so he looks down your arm and then back to your face.

“Are you okay?” Dalton asks. “What are you pointing at?”

You drop your arms and look at the ceiling, sighing and questioning everything.

“I- uh.“ You shake your head and give up. “Got you,” you say lightly, poking Dalton.

“Very funny,” Dalton says with a laugh, smiling as he wraps his arm around your shoulders again. “I was worried about you for a second.”

Me too, you think.

Approaching Dalton’s room, you stand in the hall as he unlocks and opens the door. Chris is skipping class or got out early because she starts talking when she sees Dalton. Dalton tries to stop her; his eyes widen as he shakes his head and makes a ‘stop’ motion.

“How’d the gargoyle thing go?” she asks. “What are you doing?”

You walk into the room, your eyes focused on Dalton, and Chris apologizes silently before leaving. When the door closes, you clench your jaw and raise your eyebrows, expecting Dalton to start explaining.

“That was weird. Guess she saw them, too,” Dalton says.

“You’re such a Xanatos!” you accuse, tossing your bag on the floor.

“What?”

“Listen, Dalton,” you say, walking closer so your chests are nearly touching. Pointing at him, you continue, “If I see one more: Hudson, Brooklyn, Lexington, I don’t care if it’s Goliath himself – one more gargoyle and I will show you how much of a David Xanatos I can be. Got it?”

Dalton’s smile grows with each word you say, and he waits for you to finish before saying, “You’re cute when you’re mad.”

“Dalton,” you sigh, dropping your hand.

“Okay, okay.” Dalton grabs your hand and waits for you to look into his eyes. “I’m sorry. I shouldn’t have taken it so far.”

“It’s fine. I’m glad you feel like pranking someone after everything you’ve been through this year, but you’re right: it was too far. No more gargoyles?” You hold your hand out to shake, offering forgiveness and a truce.

“No more gargoyles,” Dalton agrees, shaking your hand. “For now.”

You groan before asking if you should find Chris to get dinner together. Dalton nods and turns to grab his keys as you head toward the door. When you open the door, a gargoyle is sitting directly across the hall, and you stare at it until Dalton walks up behind you. You can feel him tense against your back as you block the doorway. Turning, you can see the confusion on his face. Assuming Chris did it, you decide to mess with Dalton. He looks down at you, an apology on the tip of his tongue that never makes it out.

Grabbing his collar, you pull Dalton down to your level and kiss him. He freezes, so you smile against his lips and raise onto your tiptoes to get closer. It takes a moment, but he remembers how to move and kisses you back, but you’re pulling back and straightening his collar. Dalton attempts to grab your waist and kiss you again, properly this time, but you step back and smile.

“We’re dressing up as Goliath and Demonia now,” you tell him, walking away.

Dalton watches you for several steps and then closes the door as he calls, “You said that like it’s supposed to be a punishment!”

He jogs to catch up, wrapping his arm around you again as he thinks maybe being compared to David Xanatos wasn’t such a bad thing.

Rebels Rewatch: "Warhead"

AKA droid murder is still disturbing and I hate it.

Call Forwards to The Empire Strikes Back, much?

Oh! Atollon has a moon! Nice detail, I don't think they ever showed it before.

And the spy probe droid is heavily influenced by early Ralph McQuarrie concept art. But then recycling old McQuarrie art is kind of Rebels' thing.

You know what, I've decided I love this episode solely based on just how much pretty Attolon scenery porn it provides.

Zeb and Ezra fist-bumping when Hobbie and Wedge scramble to obey Hera. <3

AP-5 starting right in with the shade. (Which is several shades more natural than whatever the hell that was in "The Wynkahthu Job".)

AP's idea of a good time is to sit and count shit.

Seriously.

Atollon is so pretty you guys aaaaah I just wanna live on it.

You know, I would not be so quick to take back something that apparently killed the creepy unkillable spiders. Just saying.

You can't practically hear Chopper saying, "I have a baaaaad feeling about this." lol.

Kallus casually deflecting suspicions.

I relate to AP-5 here.

"Obsolete mechanism. No longer in production." LOL.

Kind of nice of Kallus to warn the Rebels right away about the probes.

Trivia fact! This episode was originally a B-plot to "Trials of the Darksaber". Wisely, the writers decided to split the plots into two separate episodes, realizing it would severely take away from Sabine's focus and emotional catharsis if they had to dedicate scenes to this in the meantime.

Friiiiiiiiiiiiiiick I forgot how creepy this droid's tranformation was. D:

Ghgnglhgkjhgkhgdggfff the weird guttural sounds it makes are so freaky. It's also so fast and strong it's unnatural.

This thing is like a Terminator.

Aaaaaand it immediately goes to murdering other droids, fun.

Subtle animation appreciation moment: Zeb's reflection in AP-5's eye lenses.

Oh man, leave that poor gonk alone!

Have I mentioned how freakishly fast this thing is???

And strong. It is tossing Zeb around like freaking ragdoll.

*shudders*

Oh it has a countdown timer, fun.

Chopper: *literally freezes the countdown timer*

I... I'm... not sure it works like that but okay.

LOL Zeb just lets it fall onto AP-5.

Love AP being flustered by Zeb having an Actually Good idea. <3

There was clearly not enough time for AP-5 to get behind those crates but whatever.

This episode has good atmosphere, at least.

Zeb being competent and awesome. <3

Oh so Kallus is actively in the fleet group that's searching for the Rebels. Good thing he wasn't assigned to that ship in particular. I uh... I think a lot of people dead in that one.

This episode is really quite pretty.

Kallus calls them, risking discovery and death, solely to comment, essentially, "...Nice!"

You gotta love the man's spirit, lol.

Aw man, I was hoping not to have to count this episode as plot relevant.

FFFFFFFFFFF-- I'D FORGOTTEN HOW QUICKLY THRAWN TURNED AROUND THIS SEEMING DEFEAT INTO A VICTORY FOR HIMSELF.

Damn Xanatos Gambit master.

CAN YOU NOT, SIR?

I... am waffling back and forth on this episode A LOT.

On the hand hand it does nominally contribute to the overarching plot of locating the Rebel base where Phoenix Squadron operates out of. On the other nothing actually really... happens in the episode.

The droid is creepy as hell and it's definitely a solid episode, just not one that I'm fully completely convinced was necessary, if that makes sense.

I dunno.

We're back to form next week, anyway.

HI i only just found your tumblr but i feel like i should mention that your characters are everything to me and im ESPECIALLY fond of all of your feemors. theyre all delightful and endearing and i aspire to be so complex

Hi anon!!

Feemor can be someone so personal. Personable. Silly and serious and grumpy and stubborn.

I love him. I love his potential. I love him as a foil for Xanatos and being a messy but affectionate big brother figure for Obi-Wan.

I am entranced with the idea of him and Obi-Wan having a deep and complex brotherhood off screen, so much so that Anakin has never heard of him and is absolutely gobsmacked to find out that Qui-Gon had other padawans.

The betrayal. The confusion.

Anakin has a hard time fitting Feemor into the lineage because he's so outwardly nondescript and mild. He doesn't understand what Obi-Wan sees in this guy and he feels a little off-kilter by their warm relationship. He's not fully jealous, per se, but upon seeing Feemor and Obi-Wan teasing and joking and jabbing at each other so casually, he does begin to wish that he and Obi-Wan had that kind of relationship.

Feemor, of course, looks at Anakin and Ahsoka and yearns for the day that he will have a padawan. He takes that aggression out by dropping his whole weight onto Obi-Wan and demanding to know the secret for how to acquire a padawan.

Obi-Wan refrains from saying 'murder your master' because they both know that ship has sailed, so instead he swears he will take the secret to the grave so as to always have something to wrestle with Fee over.

#fic #asks #feemor #we love feemor in this house #please it is not funny to make him boring why not make him a double agent instead
