From the Outside looking In.

Let them iiiin! Let them iiiiiiiin!

*screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeech*

Imagine for a second you are Adrian surname The Eridian. Your spouse has been missing and presumed dead for around a decade, and suddenly one day an alien spaceship comes into orbit. And you cheer "Yay alien species have realized we have the same problem and have come to either give us a solution or join or efforts, too bad my mate is still gone."

Except he is not actually gone, because the eridian equivalent of a carebear decided to save them. And he doesn't want anything in return, in fact he is well aware that he might die A PAINFUL SLOW DEATH, shortly after fighting just to get the love of your life back to you. But it's ok :) because Rocky (yes he gave them a silly name) is my best friend! Oh- Are you ok-

alpha17 while training cadets: "the jedi are opposed to war crimes, if you want to assassinate a planetary leader, here's how to hide it from an empath. If there is a trap, the jedi will walk right into it. And this creature here" Alpha17 holds up general catobi wan meobi "displays the average number of brain cells and survival instincts of a jedi"

Its very funny that Alpha-17 would say outlound that he's judging by his Kenobi criteria and Obi-wan is like wow thats very fair of you, as I am pretty standard. And every other jedi is like FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCK US I guess?!?! How are we ment to do all that?!?

lolmao

But in other news, I do have an adjective for orphan for you: buiracyk, literally “between parents.” I coined that by emulating Umei_no_Mai who used “between souls” = orphan for armour in one of their fics (which would be runacyk).

It seems I probably did coin buiracyk separately after reading the “between souls” thing in 1/25, and then nine months later in 10/25 I have a note of Umei_no_Mai using it in a fic. So my memory is not totally gone, but regardless, they published first and had probably already published by the time I got around to reading their fics.

The daugther kidnapped Obi-Wan from some backwater planet to give him to the Jedi.

that 'Gifted to the river" idea, and what is a river surface but a moment in-between sinking and swiming?

Also (insert communist bugs meme) OUR meat rations, brother.

No longer! Will climbing on top of Very Tall Crates save you from greedy little Feline bastards trying to literally steal the dinner right out of your mouth! They can FLY now! Fuck™!!!

winged tookas are excellent flyers! once they get momentum they are great at using it! its the landing that's the problem, tend to go tail over head on that twiggy landing gear, they tend to let themselves run into walls and people to bounce off to get more air, take corners or stop.

and yeah their desperate scrabbling to get a claw into some panels shouldn't be that big a deal BUT ITS SO MANY TINY SCRATCHES AND IT LOOKS UNPROFESSIONAL! So there's a whole dodge and weaving tactic to avoid the winged womp rats like their magpies in swooping season!

«Excuse me, I think you may have dropped your book»

Like? The Daughter. Spooky! The Daughter... with a Jedi Baby. Oh no. VERY concerning! She might gift them Prophecy or some shit. She's basically a sentient Super Nexus but WAY worse. The Daughter, with a jedi Baby, to... a Mandalorian?

Oh... oh no.

That freaky force of eldritch fuck of nature HAS AN ADE! *panic* like? You may not LIKE adult Jedi? But no decent Mando is enough of a DICK to abandon a Jetii'ad to some sort of glowing mind control space cult thing! "Oh but she's a god!" Ain't NO GOD THEY RECOGNIZE, in this good Manda loving household!

*blaster charge noises* now back AWAY from the hypnotized child, glow stick! D:<

(The Manda/Kara standing just over their fuckin shoulder probably is making direct eye contact with The Daughter and going >:D like enabling assholes. Atta boy! Get um! Get uuuum!)

Theres this very funny thing happening where from this, Imagine you are some of old mandalorian, and theres this baby doing weird shit, and then, out of NOWHERE! this glowstick no crude matter, your mind cant quiet adjust to what your seeing, is standing over the babe, plucks it up and is like yes yes, to the jedi with you AND IS GONE babe and all! and thats where the horror story of child stealing jedi spawns from. The Daughter being unattached to reality and the procedures of the jedi and is like yeah take the force sensitive kiddo to them, that's what a sentient does, I am doing the thing. And the jedi are a little alarmed at sudden child spawned in, who knows if that baby is actually form this time or walking in the inbetween time is nothing The Daughter dropped the babe off some other time!

Also

Meanwhile? The Manda? Will just show up to your hunting trip cook out fires, melting out of the shadows, like "Hello children. I'm here to make sure you remember the rules of hospitality and honor. And eat some dinner. Who wants to hear a suspiciously life lesson relevant tale?" *eat dinner then disappears back into the night*

Like? See! OURS doesn't kidnap children! OURS just takes the last BBQ rib and shames us into being better people like a benevolent grandfather (who will kick our ass sometimes, when we're not listening)!

But like? *a jedi sees The Manda™* *horror movie music* t-that is not a Real Person. That is Legion. That is War and Beskar and Honor and NOT THE FORCE AND-*gets kicked out of the depths for poking at the Manda like a rude lil being of crude matter*

Bet the Mando'ade had the same reaction to The Daughter? Like? This is not THEIR faith. They do not connect to it. It's Other and they Do Not Like It. Yeah, with time and exposure? They could get over it? But they don't have the same Our Good And Beloved reaction that they do to THEIR manifestation of the cosmic forces that bind all things?

Bet the Kel Dor have one too. Some big, some small. The Great and Little Gods as they put it. All avatars of the same thing, ultimately, but each their own face.

Plus make sure to take breaks regularly - and stop if anything starts to hurt!

But like? Now with the new Temple Tookas? They probably went "!!!!!!?! A Mando! Fuck, it's HAPPENING! Battle stations!" *intense Horror Movie Feline action* like? They came for the possessed Ade... found the whole ass place haunted. Yep, this tracks.

Cats trying to Death From Above and claw their face off only to scramble harmlessly against their Goran Grade armor. The Goran ain't even mad. It's like a swarm of strill puppies. They're just trying to protect their home. Adorable! *they say, literally COVERED in tooka trying to chew on them or get a claw in somewhere.*

That Goran is their Nemesis™! Their battle will be LEGENDARY! *plotting intensifies*

(The Goran however? Is like? They got cute ade AND fluffy lil animals that look armored! This place is GREAT! Now if only I could get the Jetii armorer to let me get a look at those guard uniforms...)

“These are spectacular! 16 more!!!”

they perform as well as expensive HEPA air cleaners, and are comparatively VERY inexpensive. all you need is a box fan, 4 air filters, a piece of cardboard, and some duct tape!!!!
