why exactly is jaye not just a normal guy? are his fish filleting skills actually signs of being a genetic freak and i'm not normal or something?

Jaye has connections to the deep criminal underbelly of Lungmen, and by deep I mean almost familial, but the thing is, he doesn't really know it. He is the disciple-slash-adopted son of Uncle Tung, a famous chef who happens to also be deeply involved with several of the most powerful figures of Lungmen's criminal world. Tung taught him how to cook, particularly sushi, but also taught him how to fight, just in case, which Jaye considers "oh, you know, the basics, just in case someone tries to start something, to defend myself" when in fact Tung taught him Ultimate Knifefighting 30000 and built his already naturally strong and sturdy Ursus body into a machine of pure shredded muscle, which is why he can just actually shove his arm up the ass of pretty much anybody and wear them like Kermit the Frog if he wants. But as far as he's concerned, he's just "good for self-defense". He has no idea he's as strong and skilled as he is.

Through Uncle Tung he is also close to Lin Kojui AKA the Rat Freaking King, the giant rat that makes all of the rules in said criminal underworld, except he doesn't know that his kind, nice, old uncle Kojui is actually the Rat King, just that he is an old friend and frequent customer of Tung's.

On the other side of the coin, he is also related to Lee's Detective Agency, as he is good friends with Waai Fu and apparently also friend or at least close enough to the agency as a whole (his own Files state that Lee's agency are regulars of his) that it was due to Jaye "disappearing" from his usual spot in Lungmen for three days in a row that got Mr. Lee himself curious about where he could've gone, getting concerned that something might have happened to him. It's THIS event that directly resulted, as per Lee's Files, in Lee calling up the Rat freaking King himself, asking "hey man, where's our collective son?" and Kojui pointing at Rhodes Island. So, it is directly because of Jaye's connection to Lee that the agency's partnership with Rhodes Island exists in the first place, after Lee went to check with his own eyes if he was alright.

Besides all of this, because of his extremely intimidating appearance -- mean looking resting face, ripped, skilled with knives -- people often mistook him for a triad, which got him in trouble here and there when other triads thought he was an outsider trying to stir up trouble, or simply, with normal citizens who simply thought he was a bad guy to be avoided. Jaye is apparently notorious enough that Hoshiguma looked into him, and what did Hoshiguma find? Well, that Jaye really, really is just a normal ass guy who happens to have every underworld connection ever, but is not even remotely aware of it. His friend, Waai Fu, being an actual vigilante that beats the shit out of triads on sight at night on Lungmen, being seen with him, only reinforces people's judgment of him, as apparently many people think he is the leader of maybe several gangs and that Waai Fu is a martial arts master under his employ, when the reality is, Waai Fu is just bros with this dude and happens to enjoy one inch punching criminals in her free time. All he knows is that she's a vigilante but that's fine.

All of this made Hoshiguma think "holy shit" and referred him to Rhodes Island not because she thought he'd make a good combatant, but rather, out of concern for the guy.

There's a bit more to him as a whole, but to summarize:

Jaye has deep, personal connections to the Rat King.

Jaye has deep, personal connections to Lee's Detective Agency.

Jaye has connections to the Lungmen Guard Department.

Jaye was taught to fight (and cook) by a personal friend and enforcer of the Rat King.

Jaye does not realize any of this.

Unlike Mr. Nothing or Shalem, who are very well aware of how very not normal they are, Jaye really thinks he's just an average cook and sushi chef, and has no idea that his incredible fighting skill (rated "Excellent" by Rhodes Island standards) is not normal citizen-grade, nor that he actually can get in contact, if he so wished and knew, with virtually the highest echelons of power on both ends of the table in Lungmen as a whole. Jaye could potentially literally just call up the Rat King if he wanted, he just doesn't know he can, and even if he did, it's likely he wouldn't, as his Files and Waai Fu both state that despite looking the way he does, he's actually a really nice guy who likes to read books and practice his cooking, and who really thinks he's just doing his 9 to 5 nowadays, except for some reason Hoshiguma referred him to a god damn Private Military Company that cosplays as a pharmaceuticals company, so now he has less time to cook in between clashing blades with Sarkaz Swordmasters and soloing Big Bob in the creepy fucked up castle that Phantom decided to go crazy inside of.

No matter what, Morgan Elsbeth and the Eye of Sion was always going to make the journey to Peridea. What wasn’t certain was if Morgan returned.

Baylan would have gotten the map from Sabine one way or the other. One way was Sabine dead, because for all of Baylan’s moralizing about how Ahsoka knew no other way. Baylan cut down New Republic soldiers without blinking.

The other way, was Sabine joins them alive and has a chance of finding Ezra. It was a gamble and it paid off. Risky, high stakes poker.

Thrawn already has his mind made-up, he will return to the Galaxy he knew by hook or by crook. He will not spend one more year in a place he loathed.

Sabine was a loose thread the Great Mothers did not foresaw, and its been established that the Great Mothers already saw everything.

Sabine allowing herself to be captured also ensured that Ahsoka will follow.

If Sabine stayed or died, Ahsoka would find a way to rally a defense against Thrawn rather than taking the time to travel to an unknown distant Galaxy.

Ahsoka’s arrival was not predicted because it was contingent on the choice Sabine would make.

Because Ahsoka traveled to Peridea, it also forced Thrawn to waste resources and assets he wouldn’t have wasted.

Because Sabine found Ezra and helped him onto Thrawn’s ship, Ezra can now help the New Republic, and Hera fight Thrawn.

And mitigate most of the damage Thrawn will do— the things that were certain that would happen because the Great Mothers saw it:

- Morgan and the Eye arriving on Peridea to rescue Thrawn.

- Thrawn will return to his home galaxy.

Ahsoka was able to suss out the threat of Thrawn, and now alarm bells have been rung.

And now Ahsoka is where she’s meant to be because somehow Baylan Skoll is going to do something that might upset the balance of the Force. And Morai / The Daughter intended Ahsoka to be there to help stop whatever Baylan intended to do.

Sabine is the wildcard no one can predict, not even Seers.

One might say all of this was weaved into the tapestry of time. Except Sabine, who somehow sat on the edge that no one noticed her thread.

(Morgan died for Dathomir and not for the Empire. This course of events were also not seen).

Wizards in Space #1

13068 ED

Idiria station was cold. The dwindling heat of the core barely reached the outer layers, and the energy it supplied to the residents was insufficient to power enough space heaters to keep them warm. Rituals of warmth worked for a time, but proved ultimately unsustainable when used on the scale of an entire space station.

Still, the people of Idiria survived.

Eventually, they learned to replace the weak biomass of their bodies with techno-arcane polymers that could resist the cold. They learned rituals to keep themselves warm through sigils etched into their artificial skin.

These wizards found that this optimized flesh could amplify their already extended lifespans by hundreds or thousands of years, and thus they became known as the liches of Idiria.

This is the first in a (hopefully) longer series. The Idirian Liches may return, though I'm not entirely sure how or when.

you have to pretend to be a wizard sometimes, for your health. the obvious method is d&d, but you can also open the dishwasher on cold mornings and raise your arms dramatically as you're enveloped in the steam, or you can find a really good stick to walk around in the woods with, or you can run a bizarrely dedicated rp blog on tumblr. but it's an important component of human well being to occasionally pretend to be a wizard.

*I tried to select the films that come up the most and the highest on lists of the best films ever, both those by critics and those based on audience votes. I understand there are several others that you see a lot as well, but there are only limited options and I think I managed to select the ones you see the very most.

I suppose if I never manage to think of a better title for Space Gerbils, it would at least form a thematic pair with Tiny Frog Wizards. Heck, maybe when I finally get around to crowdfunding the physical editions I should do a single combined crowdfunding campaign – Space Gerbils and Tiny Frog Wizards has a certain ring to it.

I time/space travelled to a Henry the 8th royal ball and was using my magic powers to just mess with people and brought my boyfriend along to enjoy the banquet. But then a mysterious person asked me for a dance.. and while dancing they told me that they were the court wizard and asked me what the fuck I was doing here, so I escaped back to my own time.
