Satine Kryze should not be a sympathetic character.
A complex and tragic one? Sure. Every day of the week.
But she did not 'have a point', neither in-universe, not outside of the sw framework. She isn't a hero, neither of her own story, nor of someone else's. There is no way she wasn't a tool. You should not look at her and think 'this woman has done nothing wrong and what ultimately happened to Mandalore was to no part her fault'.
Because guys. Friends. Strangers on the interwebs.
Pacifism doesn't work.
And it certainly wouldn't have worked in motherfucking Star Wars – the 'wars' is literally in the title – for a system or series of systems who wanted to stay neutral.
YOU DON'T STAY NEUTRAL FOR LONG BY JUST SAYING 'YEAH, NO THANKS <3' TO A LARGE-SCALE CONFLICT.
source: I am Swiss, we've looked at this in history class. Extensively.
Satine was a dreamer (thanks Obi-Wan) who was allowed to keep her delusions because they actively benefitted Palpatine's plans. And that's something you can quote me on. There is literally no other reason (apart from supremely bad writing but we'll leave that aside here) for her and her little friends' 'Alliance of Neutral Systems' or whatever to be allowed to exist.
Not that they were neutral in any way, shape or form, by the way.
So yeah sorry to the Satine stans, but you're idolizing a character that was written exclusively and specifically for Obi-Wan's manpain and who, in-universe, was a supremely bad politician. Because the level of mental dissonace needed to factually be a Republic System, have a seat in the fucking Republic Senate, rely upon their military for aid while actively proclaiming that All Violence Is Bad And Barbaric one sentence later AND THEN CLAIM TO BE NEUTRAL IN THE WHOLE CONFLICT – it's just mind-blowing. Even moreso that people actually look at this character and see something aspirational in her.
Again, I'll gladly dissect her character any day of the week. She is fascinating because of all the implications her existence as a head of state carries with it, as well as her deeply complicated family history and her relation to mandalorian culture.
But it just grates on me personally that that all gets ignored in favor of her being some sort of icon of white american saviorism (bc that's literally what she is) and her objectively bad political takes being treated like they are the only correct stance to be taken during the Clone Wars/Mandalorian Civil Wars.
If you think pacifism works and actually lets you stay neutral, I desperately urge you to open a history book. Because those two are mutually exclusive. Especially in the scenario that Star Wars paints.

i expect your nichest hc's as well my friend
Ah, the price of my folly come back upon me. I shall do this in the hopes that it brings you a little bit of joy whilst you (speedily, I hope) recover from your illness.
Twilight -- I think that he would make a good horse farrier. Like the shoe guy? I HC that he was apprenticing in Ordon before his adventures, and he's just never gotten back to it. But he was good at keeping horses calm and stuff while he takes care of them. I think he's a little less good at the blacksmithing part of it, but hey maybe Four could teach him.
Hyrule -- I have many out there HCs about him. Honestly, he's part of the reason I'm considering whether I should tag BDOR as an AU. But also, I like to lean into his fairy background, I think that his mana potions are just bottles of sparkling sugar water. Legend nearly spits it out when he borrows one, thinking they're actual mana potions.
Time and Wind -- they're connected. I HC that they met in Mario Kart, sometime in Wind's future and Time's past. Yes, this is a crack head canon. Yes, I am aware that neither of their official versions are actually in the games. I do not care. They met, Wind was finally old enough to get his license, and they SHREDDED RUBBER BABY. Time will never tell him before their adventure ends. If I ever tag you in my fic with no other notes at the bottom, know this is what is being referenced.
Wild -- I head canon that the boy has TRAUMA when it comes to his hair. I don't know how niche of a head canon this is, as back in the older days of the fandom I remember seeing it a lot. But I haven't seen a lot of it recently.

NSFW Alphabet with Chico Guerra…
A = Aftercare (what they’re like after sex)
Nonexistent lol. He’s the kind of a guy who finishes and says “amazing, right?” afterwards. Upon request, he’ll let you out your head on his chest afterwards, and hold you. He’ll still be going on about how awesome he was but he’ll still hold you😂
B = Body part (their favorite body part of theirs and also their partner’s)
Can he say penis? He wants to say penis. Okay fine… he likes his hair. Long, coarse, black hair that he combs every morning to look like Don Juan.
On his partner. Hands, I think. Their hands and their touch. Loves feeling his partner’s hands on his chest and biceps and neck. Makes him feel like a man.
C = Cum (anything to do with cum, basically)
He calls it “the money shot”, as in “where do you want the money shot, baby?”. He’ll come anywhere. Faces and chests and backs and his favorite; deep, deep, inside someone, then watching it run out as they try to clean themselves up. Loves “signing” his work, as it were.
D = Dirty secret (pretty self explanatory, a dirty secret of theirs)
None. Shut up. Don’t ask. (But like a finger in the ass never hurt anyone, right?)
E = Experience (how experienced are they? do they know what they’re doing?)
He’s got his mile high card, collects positions like they’re Pokémon, and has had sex with more people than he could count on his and all his friends’ hands. Considers himself a sexpert.
F = Favorite position (this goes without saying)
Good old, doggy style. It’s a classic for a reason, right? Also a fan of reverse cowgirl. (Or cowboy, depending on his mood).
G = Goofy (are they more serious in the moment? are they humorous? etc.)
He’s funniest when he’s not trying to be. Like, he’ll try to be serious and if you’re distracted during sex he’ll be like “umm… guess I’ll call you when I’m done.” 😂 Sarcastic fucker.
H = Hair (how well groomed are they? does the carpet match the drapes? etc.)
Yuh. In color, coarseness, and length. (Season 5 length not season 3😂)
I = Intimacy (how are they during the moment? the romantic aspect)
Ha! Oh, wait… you were serious? If you catch him being romantic it’s because you CAUGHT him being romantic. Ask him to repeat it and he’ll be like “I said I can’t wait to screw you, I- shut up.”
J = Jack off (masturbation headcanon)
His left arm should be twice the size of his right if jacking off counts as exercise. He’ll make a joke about shake-weights and you have to laugh EVERY TIME.
K = Kink (one or more of their kinks)
Pregnancy kink. You heard me. Doesn’t matter if his partner is able to get pregnant or not, he says “I’m gonna cum… and you’re gonna swell up with my baby” and you say “bet”. It’s not about realism, it’s about power and control.
L = Location (favorite places to do the do)
It’d be easier to tell you where he won’t do it; male bathrooms (thinks they’re too filthy), and schools (he’s had his share of high school wash room fucks, thank you.). Anywhere beyond that is fair game.
M = Motivation (what turns them on, gets them going)
Any dirty talk. Like any whatsoever. Innuendos and shit.
“What do you want to do?”
“Mmmm… I dunno… what do you want to do?”
“I’ve got a hard problem… maybe you could help me with it?”
“The harder the better.”
N = No (something they wouldn’t do, turn offs)
No age play. Gives him the creeps. Even if his partner is significantly younger than him he’ll make them pretend they aren’t. He’s no cradle/grave robber.
O = Oral (preference in giving or receiving, skill, etc.)
Obviously he prefers receiving oral. Like, duh, a mouth on his cock is pretty much guaranteeing a good weekend in his books. He is willing to be bribed into giving oral thought. Think he’s good at it just because he’s good at sex. “Are you done yet?”
P = Pace (are they fast and rough? slow and sensual? etc.)
Fast and rough, I think, and “slow and passionate” when he’s trying to will himself not to finish. He’s approaching forty, but someone tell his brain that.
Q = Quickie (their opinions on quickies, how often, etc.)
Quickies? He calls them speed runs. And yes, he approves. Usually when he’s high or busy, he’ll start kissing your neck and running his hands over your thighs and then declare; “15 minutes, any takers?”🙄😂
R = Risk (are they game to experiment? do they take risks? etc.)
Please, “risk” basically means Tuesday to this prick. Upside down, tied up, sideways, over a cliff, doesn’t matter. Risk only makes his heart beat faster, and when he finishes it feels like it might explode. He loves that feeling.
S = Stamina (how many rounds can they go for? how long do they last?)
I’m gonna call it two times to completion and a third time of “wait, give me a minute… c’mon… I’ll get there”. He’s getting older, with the sex stamina of a nineteen year old. He can’t always make himself perform the way he wants. That said… oral fixation? (Hello?)
T = Toys (do they own toys? do they use them? on a partner or themselves?)
I don’t know if he owns anything besides the basic collar, riding crop, and handcuffs. (Idk what y’all are into but that’s pretty standard for me.) But I think if you own anything more out there that he’d jump and the chance for something new. Even if he doesn’t know how to use all of them. (Tried to tie you up with anal beads once; you never let him live it down.)😂
U = Unfair (how much they like to tease)
Lol man doesn’t tease. He tries but he doesn’t have the patience for proper teasing so it comes off bratty😂. And god forbid you try to tease him. He’s got exactly zero patience for that.
V = Volume (how loud they are, what sounds they make, etc.)
Much a fan of sex sounds. Man’s is grunting and panting and groaning and growling the whole time. It’s like a damn cat in heat.
W = Wild card (a random headcanon for the character)
Switches to Spanish in the throes of passion. Doesn’t care if you understand a word. Lots of self affirmations. “Increíble, ¿verdad?”
X = X-ray (let’s see what’s going on under those clothes)
Broad shoulders, and a little hair on his chest. Masculine neck (idk how to explain that) and a decently sharp jaw. He has thinner arms and legs than others but they’re still toned. He’s dangerous when he needs to be. Now onto the fun bits… firm balls, average length, prominent head. I said what I said. Also trim but noticeable hair on his balls.
Y = Yearning (how high is their sex drive?)
Omg yeah so this will be an all the time thing for him. If he says no it probably means he’s dying or something. His most horny times are in the morning and after work/mid afternoon. Lots and lots of afternoon sex. His average is five and a half jack offs a day so when he’s able to fuck he takes the opportunity.
Z = Zzz (how quickly they fall asleep afterwards)
Oh, when he’s spent, he’s spent. He’ll fall asleep in minutes or seconds, whatever his date allows. When he’s asleep, he’s a soft snorer. You’ll find where you couldn’t sleep with his noises before, now you can’t sleep without them.❤️
