Part 1 is here! Sorry for the length jakhkjk
[Part 0 - Dead Men Plead Guilty]
Warning: Force Horror and Body Horror
/
In the vaguest possible way to explain it. The AU starts with Remedy leaving the Crypt with a Force adjacent being attached to him (in canon, he doesn’t). 
Dead Men Plead Guilty is my first fic in that series. The being survives off living energy, which goes against everything Rem stands for as a medic. Sometimes, it will take the remaining energy of dying vode because, in its eyes, they would die anyway, so they might as well benefit from it. 
For the next few months after the incident, the moral injury of it all is taxing as fuck for him. And over time, the being grows to understand the world it escaped into. It learns language and skills through Rem and his memories. It begins to understand him. Remedy hates it. 
In canon, Remedy gets caught in an explosion on one campaign a little over a year into the war. His deteriorating mental state + the injuries is what helped Cody decide to ask Fox if he could be transferred to the Guard.
In the AU, Remedy dies in this explosion. The being does its best to sustain the body by pulling the remaining nearby life of the injured/dying vod to heal his physical body. But Remedy is already dead, it heals the body well enough, but there’s no longer a person there to keep the show running. There’s just it.
These beings consume the Force, it doesn’t matter if it’s dark or light because, in the end, it is still living energy. It uses it to sustain itself and its host. With enough of it, they can even heal injuries. Force users would describe these beings as Force Voids because they have no presence in the Force, they simply just eat and eat and eat. 
These beings have been trapped in the Crypt for hundreds/thousands of years, barely surviving off the meager energies of insects and other small creatures that wander in. They barely had enough energy to keep themselves physically manifested beyond wisps of shadows. 
It’s desperate. Surely, it needs a new host, otherwise, it would die. It spent most of its energy trying to heal the body, would it even be able to manifest outside of the body?  There’s no one nearby alive enough to jump to. Can it crawl its way to the forests to find a small animal? Will it even make it that far? It thinks it might be afraid for the first time since leaving the Crypt. 
In the end, it waits, too afraid to risk finding out what would happen if it left Remedy’s body. But it doesn’t fade away. It just sits, in a mind that is now silent and empty of another’s thoughts. It’s the only one there.
 What is it supposed to do now? 
It hears voices and explosions in the distance. It wonders if today’s fighting has ended. There are more sounds now. Closer. Even closer. It wants to see. 
It turns Remedy’s head. 
.
It turns its head.
It can still move the body. 
It has control of the body. 
It has always been able to do that, in a sense. It could press its suggestions heavily and the host would be inclined to listen, sometimes unconscious to the extra opinion. Sometimes aware but compliant anyways. Out of self-preservation maybe. Because it always has their collective best interest in mind. Maybe it's out of exhaustion. They are simply too tired to fight it any longer. It’s not sure which. 
It had the most control when it was starving. When it could fill the host’s mind with nothing but the need to feed. But Remedy had always been a strong opponent, resisting it each and every time until the very last minute possible. And afterward, it would sense nothing but hatred and grief from its host. So intense that it drowns out the relief and wave of life that flows through them.
Of course, he would turn something so necessary into torture. 
But there’s no Remedy to resist it anymore. It moves as it wills, and the body obeys as if it were its own. Does it really need to transfer hosts then?
The body is mostly fine now that it’s siphoned off enough energy to heal. It still vaguely hurts when it tries to move some more. But it should be feasible for the condition of the body to look as if Remedy had survived. 
More footsteps, even closer. Lots of living force nearby. It’s so tempted, but again, is there a need? 
They’re looking for survivors.
It’s a survivor. 
It remembers to breathe. Because living people are supposed to breathe, even though Remedy’s body no longer needs to. It needs them to believe it’s alive. 
It breathes. It moves Remedy’s arms. Weakly. Because it needs to be believable. It has to look alive. But not too alive. It has to move correctly. At all the right times.  It’s not too hard to pretend. The body does feel heavy and sluggish. It can’t feel the legs very well and lifting its head any higher is making its vision blur.
Someone sees them. Because it is the only one moving in this portion of the battlefield. Everyone else is dead.
Even Remedy. 
It resists the urge to siphon, even as the trooper comms about the discovery. It holds back from consuming as the transport arrives and moves Remedy’s body off the field of the dead.
The one lucky corpse that gets to return and play at living. 
For the next week or so, it treads carefully. Trocar - the 212th CMO, knows something is off but can’t pinpoint it. By all accounts, Remedy’s body is dead. Nothing on the inside is running as it should. The body doesn’t need to breathe, the blood doesn’t need to flow. They had a hard time finding a heartbeat when they had first returned. The only thing that kept them from tossing Remedy in the morgue was the fact it was conscious and they found brain activity. 
Remedy is a corpse, fueled solely by the living energy it is siphoning off in increments from the clones that surround them day and night in the medbay. The slight increase in exhaustion is negligible to a war-torn battalion. It has a rising suspicion the flesh would rot if it doesn’t keep feeding. 
At the time of the explosion, it had used every ounce of energy to keep the body in one piece. The focus was on the injuries that nearly took off his head and entire right side (that is what killed Remedy). It wasn’t enough to salvage the leg completely. Remedy would still need a prosthetic knee. It will have to adjust. 
It experiments a bit. With great concentration and effort, it can direct the energy to force the heart to beat again. It can consciously choose to breathe. It can play a breathing human being when under the scrutiny of the medbay equipment.
  It’s exhausting but it manages until Remedy gets the green light to leave medbay.
It drops the conscious effort to pump blood, focusing energy on actually keeping itself fed. It still breathes from time to time. Because not breathing is noticeable to those who need to breathe.  
Trocar eventually backs off. Still uneasy but begrudgingly willing to put it down as faulty equipment or simply a strange side effect of the injuries. But he still voices his concerns about Remedy’s general condition to Cody, who has also felt that something’s been off since Haxis-9. 
After another week, Cody approaches it about a possible transfer to Coruscant.
It has heard of Coruscant. It scans Remedy’s memories. A planet-wide city that sparkles artificially. Thousands of levels built on top of each other. Full of people. People that are not just vod-clones. Even with Remedy gone, his thoughts remain. Always forcing the whispers of brother into the forefront of its mind whenever it feeds on the battlefield. Waves of regret that it shouldn’t be feeling. The emotions wriggle and itch under its borrowed skin. 
Even in death, he lingers like a ghost. 
Maybe a city will provide new sources of energy. Energy that will make the little voice less guilty than if it consumed the life of his brothers. 
Cody is surprised when Remedy accepts almost immediately, without a hint of outward reaction. 
To Coruscant we go. 
Part 2: Pharma vs. Not Remedy. In which Pharma gets his shit rocked - coming soon!

'"What the fuck is this."
Ian pulls out half a dozen cupcakes, all different flavors, and sticks a candle in every single one. He lights them all and sings Happy Birthday to his husband in the lowlight of their kitchen, his arms wrapped around Mickey’s waist and his voice soft. Mickey’s cheeks turn pink, and Ian pretends not to notice. He makes him blow out the candles anyways.
“You have to try them all,” Ian tells him. “Have to?” “Legally required.” “I don’t remember signing a contract.” “It’s written in between the lines of our marriage license.”
Mickey snorts and picks up the first cupcake—basic, safe, plain old vanilla with vanilla frosting—and takes a huge ass bite before handing it to Ian. He gets frosting on his nose.' - i need you (like cake on my birthday) by @sam-loves-seb
my gift for the lovely @sam-loves-seb 💙✨ prompt - art based on a fic for @gallavichthings gallavich gift exchange

I claw my way out of my lurker corner once more because I am obsessed with the whole “Don’t go running off with any Pirates or Smugglers while you’re gone” line.
This has to be foreshadowing.
Pleeeaaase let it be foreshadowing the appearance of one Hondo Ohnaka.
The shenanigans these two have the potential to unleash.
IMAGINE HONDO TRYING TO GIVE TECH DATING/LOVE ADVICE FOR PHEE??
Just, completely unprompted:
“What has you so down, my friend?”
“Other than the majority of my family believing me to be dead, and the fact that the fate of my missing brother is still unknown and he is likely trapped in a lab somewhere?”
“Ah, yes, other than that.”
“…Someone asked me to avoid running off with any other pirates or smugglers while I was gone - I am concerned this may disappoint her.”
“*Her*?” Intrigued noises “Difficulties of a love nature! Aha, for this let me provide some advice!”
“I would not call it-“
“Yes, yes, yes, but whatever you call it, there is affection there, no?”
Shenanigans ensue
I want all of the shenanigans
I feel like Tech would end up a little annoyed with Hondo but only because it’d be like looking into a more overtly chaotic version of himself, and then they’d get along in a way that feeds chaos into chaos and causes everyone around them the ultimate sort of concerned confusion.
Hunter & Echo: “I feel like we should separate them for the sake of our own sanities.”
Wrecker revels in the chaos.
Omega instigates more of it.
Crosshair snags some Mantell Mix and sits back for some decent entertainment that he’ll likely never admit to missing.
Phee knowing that this was both the best and worst possible pirate for him to run into for various reasons, and absolutely ribbing him for running off with another pirate/smuggler but “better late than dead” and their extroverted flirting/introverted intrigue can resume its sweet, sweet slow burn that lasts the majority of the season because Tech is coming back in the first few episodes but only after we get the glorious Phee backstory and badassery that should precede (and also continue after) this return.
My hopes for Season Three are so high.
Please. I am hoping!!

Tumblr media Tumblr media
okay so. two things!! first of all, over the course of january (and the beginning of february) i participated in the kirby oc secret santa, which was wonderfully hosted by @/moonverc3x. i was lucky enough to be the santa for @/starflungwaddledee, and ended up with two of my best pieces so far!!
these were CHALLENGING, though. which is where the second thing comes in!! under the cut, i'll be going over some of the sketches, drafts and phases of either piece! there's also a speedpaint. exciting!!
i'll be starting with my starstruck piece! the theme here was wanderlust - literally one of the most whimsical words i know - and generally anything to do with the stars. i had a few things in mind, but considering how long it sometimes takes to make artwork, i decided to roll with what inspired me the most.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
this is the final sketch compared to the final artwork. certainly one of the crazier transformations i've done. i had a mental image of most parts of the artwork, from the material of starstruck's bow to the lighting cast by the stars. everything except for the grass (i hate grass!!) i ended up rendering the grass and background first, anyway.
Tumblr media
doing the background before the rest of the artwork helps define the lighting and shadows! if i decided to draw starstruck before the background, i'd have to draw it according to the lighting.
weird explanation, but in summary: background before character helps the character look like a part of the environment! character before background means extra steps need to be taken before the character fits in the environment!
starstruck's bow was also a decent challenge! i'm a fan of bows and satin, so a satin bow sounded like a good idea. it was, but i've never drawn satin before. the workaround was an active satin study! i stared at a satin bow i found on pinterest and tried to understand how light spread over the material. it's quite interesting!!
you might notice that i flipped the direction of the shooting stars. this is for composition reasons!! i wanted to make starstruck the obvious focus, and while the contrast between her warmer palette and the background's cooler palette easily achieve that, i wanted to cement it. i also added little hand drawn sparklies everywhere. because i like it.
Tumblr media
of course, i have to talk about the eyes!! if anything, i noticed that in all of starflung's drawings of starstruck, she had really glittery eyes. literally adorable. so i made it my mission to capture her feelings in her eyes!! i had a lot of fun making them super shiny and adding little stars in there. i also needed to pay attention to the subtle gradient, though - they fade from blue to pink if you zoom into starflung's artworks - and decided to keep it vibrant.
Tumblr media
okay. thats all for this one!! i'd like to mention that in the original sketch for this specific pose, bandee was in the background. i really regret scrapping that now. oh, well!
time for morpho dee! i'll be starting for with the speedpaint for this one, mainly because it sort of explains some of the process by itself.
i restarted the shading... three or four times at least? so yeah. i was losing it on this piece. i'll be completely honest, i contemplated dropping it for the sake of meeting the deadline. it wasn't stressing me out, but i had studies to worry about too, and i was worried that it wouldn't be of great quality? but after some advice from my beloved older sister, i managed to turn the tide!!
this is a first for me, but everything here was a challenge. if you scroll through my account and the few artworks i've posted, you'll notice that i draw gijinkas far more than orbs. now, you may be wondering why this didn't pose so much of an issue for my starstruck piece! it's mainly because i chose a far simpler pose for her than i did for morpho over here.
for morpho, the artwork needed to be dramatic. i draw cutesy things - while i've always wanted to draw something dramatic, i've never pushed myself to do it. until this artwork! i went for a dynamic pose which would (hopefully) pull the viewer's eye towards morpho dee. that's what's up with the foreshortned spear! i also realised that the plcement of his feet would be quite significant to the artwork. you might not know this, but feet are my greatest enemy. i'm still trying to figure out how best to draw them for people or orbs, but i'm getting there.
after 'lineart' (which really ended up being a cleaned sketch - this was supposed to be linelessly rendered, but i gave up on that) the pose was no longer a problem. because the shading was! hooray!!
nothing has quite bewildered me like metal shading has. i've shaded gold. satin. cotton, fluffy scarves, shiny things, grass. yet metal shading continues to elude me! this was, hands down, the most difficult part of this artwork. i struggled to make sense of how the lighting was supposed to work, even with references. and every time i thought it made sense, i ended up with something i didn't like the look of. the solution? long breaks, more references and pinterest tutorials. i have no clue how i managed this, but we got here anyways. i finished it off by colouring the lineart according to the shading.
Tumblr media
i have experience with drawing fire, at least! it was three or four years ago in an old artwork, but i have experience! i simply had to figure out how to work it into the atmosphere. for the glow, i duplicated the layer, gaussian blurred it and used a slight glow layer! i did something similar for the durst particles, but i used motion blur instead.
Tumblr media
i also want to talk about the spear a little bit. you might notice that i added a bit of ambient glow around the blue gem. that was with the light intensity in mind, but also for a sense of realism! i also had to keep the pink light in mind, though. so i ended up using an airbrush to create a base for the lighting and i continued from there. i added a few scratches on the handle just to give it a bit more life, too.
Tumblr media
and, finally, a one-to-one comparison between the sketch and the final! i have literally no idea how i pulled either of these pieces off, but i'm quite proud of them.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
i recommend you drop by @/kirbyoc-secretsanta for other artworks! a total of 75 artists participated, so there are plenty of super cool ocs to adore over there and new artists to find!! this was my first secret santa experience, and @/moonverc3x made an amazing host (thank you for hosting, by the way!!) bye bye!!
