#probably like fallen order

[bereft-of-frogs]

it is kind of funny writing commentary in fics about the differences between Cal and Cere's fighting styles when Cal's fighting style is....technically dependent on how good of a gamer you are and I am a Bad gamer XD 'Cal over-relies on a few key practiced moves, while Cere is more fluid, natural' yeah because there was actual fight choreography involved in Cere's fight in Fallen Order, and not just me button-mashing and doing the same thing over and over in the hopes it actually works this time XD

like I think it works thematically and idk this paragraph might end up getting cut, but it is just kind of funny to be like, trying to reflect on canon and how to describe it and then having to be like 'well…that might be on me...'

#my poor skills should not reflect on Cal...but in this case they do haha #sorry Cal my bad #it works tho so I'm keeping the description (for now) #writing problems #specifically fallen order writing problems #also i mean i know you briefly play from Cere's POV in survivor so I'd probably have the same button mashing style problem XD #but i think it does work at least with the comparison in Fallen Order between Cere fighting at the end and player-as-Cal #and generally the difference between someone who might be out of practice but was a master and a half-trained teenager #but yeah file this alongside that post i made years ago like #'i've had cal for five minutes and if anyone hurt him...' but the one hurting him is me being bad at video games #and falling off of things #i think i am improving someone i have SOME strategy now i'm not just slowing and then striking until they un-slow rinse and repeat

Sully: "the truth is no one knows what it looks like in there [Fortress Inquisitorius]"

Me, still wearing clown makeup: I KNOW WHO KNOWS WHAT IT LOOKS LIKE IN THERE [sobs]

#PLEASE DISNEY ITS SO EASY TO PUT CAL IN THIS SERIES STOP BEING COWARDS #obi wan kenobi #obi wan kenobi spoilers #kenobi #kenobi spoilers #star wars #jedi fallen order #cal kestis #this is all just fun speculation tho tbh #like i doubt cal is gonna make an appearance really #like if he did then leia would probably know who he was #or it might make timelines weird with the game #BUT A MENTION WOULD BE NICE #JUST A LITTLE REFERENCE OF CAL EXISTING OUTSIDE OF FALLEN ORDER WOULD BE REAL NICE

[engagemythrusters]

I just know Cal Kestis had super duper chubby cheeks as a baby

#like claim supported by his nice full cheeks now #but they were probably SO chubby back then #cal kestis #star wars jedi: survivor #star wars jedi: fallen order

So, here's a mini fic idea that keeps knocking around my head:

Cal's with Prauf in the cantina after a long shift. The place is packed out, the crowds loud as they watch podracing and cheer on various racers. Bookies rush around taking bets and fistfuls of credits. The more some people lose, the more they drink.

Prauf is very much not letting a thirteen-year-old drink anything alcoholic and instead gets Cal something sweet and fizzy. Cal finds Prauf's protective nature both funny and unnecessary because he's not exactly begging for a cocktail. Nevertheless, he endures Prauf's lectures on how plenty of people will prey on him if he were to get drunk here instead of safe and sound at home, so he's not drinking in a cantina until he's at least a thirty centimeters taller than he is now...

(Height isn't really an indicator of being ready to drink in Humans, but Cal chooses not to point that out and instead nods along at all the right moments.)

The news comes on between races and the crowd's shouts die down. The story features the parents of children taken by the Jedi. They're from all over the galaxy, sobbing into the camera, saying how they gave up their children, thinking it was for the best, but instead they were brainwashed by a cult. Their children are either dead or in hiding, victims of the Jedi's betrayal of the Emperor. The parents hate the Jedi with everything they have in them.

They took our babies.

They said they would be safe!

They trained them to be murderers, and we know that those who were strong enough to say no were slaughtered.

Only the smartest, bravest and luckiest ran away and went into hiding. They're the ones we have to find.

It takes everything Cal has to sit there and not start screaming. The Jedi weren't the traitors. They were betrayed. The Jedi didn't kill their own. That wasn't what happened at all!

And then a quieter part of him wonders are any of these people my birth parents?

The camera cuts to a Human woman. She's clearly on Coruscant, sat on a balcony looking out at the city beyond. The journalist asks her what would she say to any Jedi children hiding in the galaxy, lost and confused about what they should do. The woman says: 'Let the Empire help you. They'll treat you with kindness, help you find your family. You don't need to be afraid. You aren't the ones who did this. We'll protect you.'

Kindness?

Don't be afraid?

Protect them?

Cal thinks about the scrapper he saw being beaten yesterday by a stormtrooper.

He thinks about how their wages have been cut again because the Empire hates the Guild.

Master Tapal told him to trust only in the Force. Even though the Force doesn't respond to his control the way it used to, it still tells him to hide. Don't let anyone know. Don't let anyone see who he truly is.

The Force screams inside him as the news goes on and on.

He can't let it out. He can't let any of it out.

Hide. Hide. Hidehidehidehide

Go to the Empire?

Let them help him?

It's so cruel. So unbelievably sly. Others will fall for it. Others will be slaughtered. Jedi in positions so much worse than his will think this is their chance to find safe haven.

And he can't do anything to help them. Prauf notices something's wrong, but when he asks, Cal says he's going to head home early and he'll see him in the morning. He walks out, dodges stormtroopers, and goes back to his tiny apartment.

He doesn't sleep at all that night.

This au twists in very pleasing ways, but! I think I found the solution to additive less medication!

So, the scientists (and medics). Where do they get their medical supplies? If so, what stops them from taking this massive discovery and concern to whoever the fuck is still producing Cybertronian medical supplies because from what I'm seeing there's still unaffiliated mecha out there among the stars.

#tfp au #thinking #there's also the fact that it would probably be relatively easy for them to try and synthesize the meds themselves #but then that would be a scale issue #sounds like a road trip with Wheeljack and three medics is in order #well i call it a road trip but in reality it's a space trip #hmm as far as on board space goes this might be where we also involve Swindle and hos spacecraft #plus his affinity for the intergalactic markets as a savvy businessman #Shockwave can stay home he's good enough at doing medic stuff to handle things while they're away #oh naturally these events would take place after the Tarn and Fallen fiasko but before the war over party slash surprise weddings

Literally the only thing stopping me from playing Dragon Age again right now is that I have too many video games to finish before their sequels come out.

#i should probably just let myself play dragon age though #i can't force myself to hyperfixate on a game so i should let myself do what my heart wants #but you know fallen order sequel soon and then botw sequel soon and i have to do a botw replay because i love it so much #but like #dragon age is RIGHT THERE taunting me #personal

noel do you have any recommendations for the steam sale

hiiii!! 💕 i'm not sure what games you're into but in terms of general recommendations, disco elysium is on sale for like $10 USD right now and that's a fantastic game!! if you're into horror then resident evil 2 + 3 remakes ($10 each) and soma ($6) are on sale. if you like superhero games then as usual there's the arkham collection on sale for around $9. for personal favorites i'd say slime rancher ($5), bugsnax ($10), and spider-man remastered ($45) are all good choices!! there's also a bunch of visual novels on sale but those are pretty subjective so. if u have more specific wants i can probably help more but YUP

#ask #thank uuu for ask<3 #personally i was sitting on maybe rdr2 #since it's like. 20 bucks rn #but! i probably wouldn't play it for a very long time #also jedi fallen order tempts me EVERY. SALE. #I DONT KNOW STAR WARS!! #WHY AM I SO TEMPTED!!

Exploring an abandoned spaceship because there’s supposedly some cool treasure to find on there!

#Star Wars au #star wars #juliett #emmanuel #oc #my ocs #I haven’t played Jedi Fallen Order in a while but I think there’s a crashed ship that you can explore there as well? #I really want to go there now! #Anyway this is another one of Juliett’s new outfits! I like this one as well but the other one is my favourite #This was really fun to draw! #Also pro tip: if you want to draw a background but don’t want to deal with annoying perspective grids just make up the perspective yourself #Apparently this works! I guess this was just really simple one point perspective so it’s not a big deal if some lines are off #So yeah! Really fun! Making it all up probably won’t work on complex backgrounds but I don’t draw anything complex anyway so it’s fine!

[stardustandash]

I don’t care if it’s not true, Cal is shorter than Merrin in my mind. Boy is full of short king energy

#he's the second smallest mantis crew member you can't change my mind #j:fo #jedi fallen order #jedi survivor #growing up on bracca without proper nutrition in his teens probably stunted his growth a bit #merrin has like an inch on him and doesn't let him forget it #cal kestis

[bloominstorm]

They really setting up my baby Yuuji’s death..

#ok lemme just say I don’t think gege is planning on killing yuuji THIS soon #but obviously he’s gonna but this chapter is setting it up #the fact tht everything was going according to plan and the angel was very agreeable only to have her one condition be to kill sukuna like.. #are you serious.. lmao #first of all I know this was meant to cause a moral dilemma in yuuji and megumi #yuuji has been wanting to continue living so he can protect his loved ones so he won’t die alone #thts the only reason why he joined the game (he didn’t even know he was automatically a player) he wanted to help megumi save tsumiki #megumi has been making yuuji his exception from the beginning #he asked gojo to help convince the higher ups to spare yuuji even tho he knew keeping him alive would be dangerous #when tsumiki got cursed as a result of sukunas fingers honing in bc it finally had a vessel he asked nobara to keep it a secret from yuuji #bc he knew it’d make him feel guilty #so NOW tht shit is different and we see all megumis ever wanted to do was look out for his sister #who’s to say he won’t turn on yuuji knowing tht the only thing in the way of his goal is him #i just wonder about it bc sukuna obviously was scared in a way bc why else would he tell yuuji he was fallen before angel could express it #he wanted to give him a heads up #but why..? #oh right bc he knows tht yuuji would probably sacrifice himself in order to help megumi save his sister and free gojo #sukuna has always been odd to me when it comes to yuuji bc he deadass tries to bargain with him #even with how he came to him in this chapter - he was very chill while yuuji was the one mad (with good reason) #it just makes me wonder if sukuna is really just chill and doesn’t care or he knows he’s at yuujis mercy in a way and is about to #try to make a deal with him #also the angel is fucking crazy #bitch why would you think they could kill sukuna.. #she even stated that the old sorcerers have been destroying the consciousness of their vessels so why would she not assume Thts what sukuna #did when he’s the strongest curse and was the strongest sorcerer of all time??? #the angel is shady af like why would you need him to be dead in order to free gojo #anyway I’m eager to see how this is handled next chapter #i needa see how yuuji reacts and what he’s planning to do and I needa see if megumi will be with killing yuuji #jjk manga spoilers #jujutsu kaisen 199

Every time Lucasfilm puts me through order 66 I lose 3 years off my lifespan

#obi wan kenobi #Star Wars #it’s been like 4 times and that’s only the shows I actually watched #it probably happened more times in the comics and rebels and fallen order etc.

[aesthetic-shadows]

So what it looks like the timeline of the game might be is

????

Cal finds the weirdo in the tank

It was some kind of trap and he gets into the fight we see at 0:36

His lightsaber gets stolen

It’s used to lure him

????

#star wars #cal kestis #jedi: survivor #jedi: fallen order #because he still has his lightsaber when it zooms out on the tank person #maybe the tank person is who he fights? question mark?? #probably not though #tank person looks like they’ve been abandoned for a long time #something to keep in mind

[asexualdreammorpheus]

i don't know if the kenobi series and jedi fallen order take place at the same time or one is later than the other but the idea of vader having to put up with the shenanigans of all the inquisitors at the same time is so funny

#jedi fallen order is probably a bit later on right? #saw gerrera is in the game so the rebellion gotta be more than it currently is #vader gotta put up with flooding and the second and third sister doing their jobs but keep failing because somebody is playing on easy mode #by the end of the game he's like you have failed me for the last time inquisitor he's probably talking about all of them #dark siders are a dime a dozen why should vader remember their names

[spidezer]

i preordered the merrin funko pop and she should get here around the same time as my cal one i'm so excited ‼️ next is to preorder the bd-1 lego set which comes out around the same time .... which i will never be able to do because its so expensive

#theyre not coming til like. november. #by then the hpfx will have worn off probably😭 #but its okay!!!!!!!! #jedi fallen order #jfo #nightsister merrin #cal kestis #bd 1

[a-little-monotonous]

i. lost peanut. um

#dip speaks #dip plays rain world #peanut froze again and wont eat so i was like ok. and left him in the shelter to grab a batnip plant #to get food for him easier in the area im at #as i was coming back though his pips changed to starving (though he was at two pips??? the minimum in order to sleep) #and went gray #checked inside the shelter but it was just about it rain so it immediately shut on me :( #so uh. yeah #i think he mightve fallen through the map?? he did that when i first got him #had to devtools him free and hold him until we slept #mannn. probably for the best though. the bug was kinda annoying :( #and i got caramels to murder
