"...our Senior Producer, Paul Hatfield, had the great idea of wanting to tie in some elements of the current events that Cal was experiencing in Survivor, mixed with the lingering trauma of Cal's memory of Order 66. This led to the through line of utilizing the Koboh matter along with Venator Class Star Destroyers and ship wreckage throughout all of the Force Tear levels. For the Force Tear Arena specifically, I wanted to craft something that fulfilled that narrative while pulling inspiration from Japanese Tea and Zen gardens. I also utilized the Shattered Moon and the iconic rock formations that Kevin Quinn created for the Void in the menu/skill tree UI." - Scott Russell

The ceiling that greets Cal when he opens his eyes in not the Mantis. Rocky. Slightly drippy. Sandy beneath him. Sea salt in the air. Is he at the beach? All things considered, Cal has definitely been in worse situations. Like way worse. Like, like... like the actual worst. Right? He's been in worse situations, hasn't he?

BD beeps a dubious affirmative. Then he asks which Cal prefers - being trapped under the ocean on Nur, or being stuck in this cave?

"Secret answer 3: both suck." Cal giggles.

BD scuttles away, telling someone else Cal is awake and -

"My words are not slurring!"

"Yes, Cal, they are. You have a head injury."

"Do not!"

"Do too."

He'll show her. "Hey. Hey, Merrin?"

Merrin takes a deep breath from somewhere nearby. "Yes?"

"Could a head injury guy ask you this? Would you rather fight a hundred BD-sized rancors, or a rancor sized BD?"

Merrin whispers something in a language Cal doesn't speak. It doesn't sound like an answer.

"It's a good question!"

"It is a question that suggests you have damaged your brain permanently."

Cal snorts. And pauses. "Is that why I can taste blood?"

"Do you remember being knocked out?"

Cal gives this a good ponder. "No," he eventually decides.

Merrin sighs. "What do you remember?"

"Uuuuum..." Beach trip. Missing kids. Going into the cave. Finding missing kids? "Are there supposed to be kids here?"

"No, we got them out. And then the cave fell on your head. BD and I are keeping you company while Cere and Greez dig us out."

"Sounds great." Cal decides to sit up...

...bad idea. Oh, such a bad idea. Merrin wrinkles her nose as he throws up.

It's about that time that a large boulder blocking the tunnel moves and figures appear in the blinding sunlight.

"Cal! Merrin! BD!" Cere's voice echoes.

"BD and I are fine. Cal is asking about rancors."

"Cere, I gotta ask you something - "

"Perhaps you should send a medic in," Merrin says over him.

"Oh, oh, hey, medic person! What would you rather fight..."

Do you have a fav whump trope for Cal? Or my beloved Jason Todd if you don’t have one for the trauma Jedi

There is sooooo much overlap if I'm being completely honest. I have my preferences yanno? Trying to pick a favorite whump trope for a specific character would just be listing my favorite whump tropes in general (and I have soooooo many). BUT you asked a question so I'll do my best to answer....

Cal: electrocution definitely, there are a bunch of canon instances across both games from the stim introduction in fallen order, the 'trooper weapons, the Bedlam raiders, and those shock grenades that even Bode uses (did somebody say friendly fire???).

Also, falling. First off, falling is so broad. Why did he fall? Slip? Animal attack? Trooper attack? Seizure? Echo? Whump him before the impact. Second off, what did he fall onto? Water? Impact and drowning risk. Tar? Same. A creature's den? Oh boy. Into a room full of Imperials or raiders? Craggy rocks? I read a fic where someone pushed off a scrap ship on Bracca and he got impaled. The options are endless. (Also, what did he climb? One of my wips his forcing him to climb orange hot metal grating >:3c)

And then seizures and echo induced emotional breakdowns and/or catatonia, I have a fic planned where he's in solitary confinement for like a few hours at most but he gets to experience echoes of dozens of people whose confinements lasted much, much, MUCH longer - and they all died in the end. Having to experience first-hand hours, days, weeks of being utterly alone condensed into just a few hours? Echoes are soooo ripe for whump

OH AND ORDER 66 TRAUMA. That's my jam. I like it when time travel stories (I've read them all I'm 99.99% sure because I looovvveeeeee time travel fics) have him understandably freak the fuck out around clones while also struggling with the knowledge about the chips.

Jason: *gestures to all of my posted stories* How can I pick just a couple as my favorite? Can I pick a favorite fic or two and extrapolate from there? Cos let me tell you wiretrapped and dragged along were some of my favorite straight-up whump fics to write, and oh just hangin' out. I also like giving Jason panic attacks, too, I'm now realizing. Fear toxin is also so much fun - Sheila being the starring member of those hallucinations is just so good.

Thank you for the ask!! Have an avcacdo 🥑🥑(have them all! I'm allergic)

Cal Kestis - Jedi Survivor 💚

Anyone who knows me knows I take a lot of wet Cal pics, and after several tries to do it here with no waterfall I gave up. Had an epiphany and so I went back. After some fussing I got what I wanted! Wet spooky Cal. 💧

Took a few so you will likely see more in varying degrees of green. 👀

Here's the thing. Cal is nosey af. He can't help it. The Force more or less wants him to experience stronger echoes, they call to him and practically wave their hands shouting "look at me!" And the smaller ones? He can shield himself but it's not so air tight.

So if he can't ignore the echoes ("It's the will of the Force, Master," he said, only half-jokingly. Master Tapal believed him - tentatively at first, but then the Incident happened and, well, the entire battalion learned very quickly what "the will of the Force" meant for Cal Kestis.)

Yeah, can't ignore the echoes. But you know what he can ignore?

Locked doors.

They're locked for a reason, okay? And yeah sure, he may have sliced a few here and there, actually sliced with his lightsaber even more, but, for the most part, he's been trained and expected to respect a locked door. So what if it would probably open a short cut for him? It's locked and he has no real reason to ignore the long way 'round if it means he can go exploring.

#cal kestis #my headcanons #sort of #bc it is REALLY funny that doors stop him #but i think its funnier that they stop him bc Master Tapal was like “listen
