#empires of the ascended

[talesofmetalandmagic]

Remember this thing?

From the Legends of Runeterra “Empires of the Ascended” cinematic?

It’s called the Seal of the Emperors and it says that it’s crucial to ensure Azir’s power.

When he abdicated, part of the ritual involves him shattering it burning it into a special brazier, so that the land may still prosper under a democracy.

He’s tempted to do it with his eyes closed. Let the moment pass quick, so it doesn’t hurt much. One moment he’s absolute god-emperor, the next he’s just a big hawk with a lot of torture scars and a stone coronet. So quick he cannot feel it.

But then he faces his needs and… no. This cannot be.

I don’t get to escape this time.

Cowardice doomed Shurima once. It cannot happen again.

So he takes his time shattering the seal, crunching it like a biscuit in his strong fingers, and lets it fall into the fire slowly. Keeping his eyes on the metal until it’s melted and gone.

He can feel his parents stirring through the halls. You fool, you small-minded simpleton, you wretch among all wretches. What have you done. You ruined your House, you ruined your land.

But the water runs as smoothly as the first day.

Snapjaw Swarm - Follower

"Drip, drop, drip, drop, the blood splashes down,

Swim, swim, comes the swarm, better now to drown,

Snip, snap, go the teeth, and we all scream,

To the deep, off we sleep, for forever dreams!"

thrawn only having eyeliner in Rebels implies it was just a makeup look he was trying out

Eleventh Fleet AU - Thrawn, Eli Vanto and Karyn Faro's timeline concept arts set.

Suddenly I wanted to make a selection of art and see the progress - I really enjoyed drawing the timelines for the characters. I'm especially pleased with how they turned out ////v////

Pyke - Champion

"...the visions are back again. I see his desperate eyes looking up at me whilst the jaull-fish closed its maw around him. We tried pulling, but the ship is too small, and the beast too big. I had no choice. I had to cut his line. I had to." - Blood-soaked letter

First he came for his old crew, then other captains, then cheaters, gamblers, and drunkards. Pyke's craving for revenge slowly gave way to a newfound lust for murder. Now, instead of only listing those who wronged him, his growing manifest only illustrates what Pyke has become.

Do you think Thrawn being “exiled” was traumatic? I mean, his people, whom he saved, decided for ‘political reasons’ that he was too unpredictable and in order to protect their own agendas they decided to get rid of them.

That’s rough. Like, really. Thrawn’s continued loyalty to them could almost be seen as a type of indoctrination actually. He cannot fathom an existence for himself that is not tied to the preservation and protection of his people. He is being controlled.

I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, but it’s set up perfectly for Thrawn to have a character arc where he realises that there is more to life than making yourself a servant of people who don’t appreciate you. We know that Thrawn has the capacity for friendship. Let him find people who matter. Let him find a new cause. Let him find meaning.

Or not because he’s a machine apparently and ‘maybe the Empire can help’ is the limit of his character. (I miss when Thrawn actually came up with solutions.)

Thrawn’s lack of growth is particularly evident in the Ahsoka series (god I wish that show wasn’t canon) because you really do wonder: Why is Thrawn still here? Why the fuck does he think the Empire can still save the chiss? The Empire is gone. Does he know the current status of the Ascendancy? Shouldn’t that be his priority?

These aren’t even cracks anymore; his initial motivation is in pieces. It makes no sense.

Who the hell is this guy and what is he doing?

I’m left to conclude that Thrawn post-Treason has fully just lost his mind because what even is the point. I miss ascendancy trilogy Thrawn so much.

#that being said he can’t ditch the ascendancy bc he had ppl there he wants to protect #idk it’s mostly the empire stuff that makes no sense #isn’t insanity meant to be trying the same thing over and over expecting a diff result? #or is that a joke definition #point is the empire thing is insane idc #thrawn ascendancy #Thrawn #Thrawn treason #thrawn alliances #mitthrawnuruodo #mitth'raw'nuruodo #grand admiral thrawn #Ahsoka #Ahsoka series #Ahsoka critical #chiss #chiss ascendancy #Star Wars #eli vanto #karyn faro #aralani #star wars fanfiction #thrawn trilogy #thrawn books #thranto
