Delta calls Sev “psycho” and variations thereof a lot--like, a lot--and I’m gonna half-assedly speculate, ‘cause what the hell else am I going to do with a morning off, really.
( Read more... )I wanted to talk a little about the hauling 8-year-olds into active war zones thing, and how I’ve sort of come to the conclusion that it’s not even remotely standard practice. It seems to me it’s more likely very specifically a “those Skiratas are weird as fuck but they keep to themselves so we don’t really do anything about it” kind of a deal instead.
Prime evidence: Munin.
Also I refuse to make a Munin tag. Nope.
Me, literally every time the Kyrimorut crowd talks about or tries to “treat” Arla:
Not giggles.
Maze has TOUCHED DOWN on Mandalore and holy SHIT do I have problems. Cut because it’s mostly rage down there.
This is not meta this is just giggles.
My absolute favorite scene in 501st is the one where the Nulls go to retrieve Niner and Darman only to have them both behave like cats who wanted the door open:
Jaing knows what’s up. He’s not wrong. They really are the two most dramatic members of Omega squad. Darman of the “I’m going to kick my sergeant out of the crashing aircraft against orders” school of thought and Niner, Mr. “We’ll believe Darman’s dead when HELL FREEZES OVER” and “I’m gonna FIGHT A NULL over ETHICS in the MIDDLE OF A MISSION I don’t GIVE a FUCK”.
This is going to be a five act tragecomedy if it kills them, basically. They know no other way.

Straight from my notes: oh holy fuck holy shit they did this on PURPOSE
( Read more... )I think Niner is one of the only characters in the series we see able to go toe-to-toe with Kal, and I wanted to talk about it. That’s it, that’s the post.
Here’s why:
The chapter header is from THE biggest manipulator in the Star Wars franchise, about how he does what he does. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it leads into the chapter where Kal Skirata, self-confessed manipulator extraordinaire, is forced to face actual consequences for just a few of his shittier actions. The chapter is supposed to be about Darman vs Kal Skirata, but actually the confrontation that interested me the most was the one he had with Niner.
( Read more... )One of my favorite Gaftikar subplots is A’den deciding that he and Atin are going to be best friends. Atin’s permission not required.
It’s like watching A’den try his damnedest to make friends with the world’s meanest cat.
I collected the whole thing.

All right, so this is one of those scenes where I could never quite figure out the motivations, but I think I have an idea now?
Skirata makes a point to note that before this they had zero problems from Boss. He was taking his tasking well and wasn’t rocking the boat with anyone. He was calm and professional, if not content. It’s only now that he starts getting agitated. Why?
( Read more... )Something I forgot:
Fi's thing about control.
Man does NOT like when the reins are out of his hands. And he can get snippy about it, too:
Including seconds before this when Fi was privately backseat sassing Scorch's setting of the charges even though Scorch was doing literally nothing wrong. Grumpy boy.
under a cut because I can’t NOT ramble i’m sorry this is who i am

and while I was reading there was that whole scene where Kal Skirata decides to go in as a hostage and Ordo is like “uh...don’t?” and skirata’s like “nah i’m gonna” and then does and then fi almost shoots him and spends the rest of forever feeling horrifically guilty about it? I have thoughts about that. I’m still not entirely sure where I’m going with this but...uh...
