"I love men who're freaks🥰😳😍"You guys can't even handle dudes with physical disabilities

For fandom meme-swtor?

Send me a fandom!

This one isn’t as spicy as the Dragon Age one, but I still got Wordy.

Also there’s lots of KOTFE/KOTET/etc spoilers in here, so don’t read if you don’t want to see em. (Looking at you, Chignon.)

The character(s) I first fell in love with:

My own OCs haha.

But more seriously: It was actually Darth Malgus! I was always going to play a Star Wars MMO, let’s be real. But when they started posting promo videos and cinematics for the game, my Sith-loving ass immediately gravitated to that guy haha. And then, it turned out he had the same VA as The Architect from Dragon Age, and that was it for me.

If we’re talking about companions, then it was probably Malavai Quinn. Sith Warrior was the first class I got to 50, and Quinn was the first companion that I really got overly attached to haha.

The character(s) I never expected to love as much as I do now:

Most (not all, but most) of the “new” companions that came in with KOTFE and beyond. I was initially really sour when I realized we were losing all our class storyline companions, and they were being replaced with a new crew of Lana, Theron, Koth, my mother-in-law Senya, etc. Especially when they – at the time – said we’d eventually get our class companions back, but it would be a while. So I started KOTFE sure that I would hate the new crew because I would rather have the old one…. and ended up liking them quite a lot! Mostly, lol.

The character(s) everyone else loves that I don’t:

Doc is the main one, jesus christ. If you didn’t read my last post, I just really really really do not mesh well with overly sexual and Adult Humor-y characters who scold you with a “You’re no fun.” if your OC isn’t into it. Doc is the worst example of it that I’ve ever encountered. I always play a male JK, and the fact nearly all of his convos amount to, “Boy, you and me are going to be up to our eyeballs in vagina when this war ends, amirite?” “You don’t want that? Come on, the Jedi Code doesn’t say you can’t FUCK, live a little.” “You’re no fun. Well, more for me.” drives me NUTS. This combined with how he interacts with Kira just does me in. Shoves him out an airlock.

Dark Side Jaesa is another big one, albeit mainly for OOC reasons. I just hate the fact that she even exists, really. I get the appeal of a story where a Sith corrupts a Jedi to the Dark Side, but the way she does a total 180 into gross hedonism while Serving You always just makes me cringe. Plus there’s the fact that straight dudebro gamers are really nasty with her, and she’s the main companion I always see men put into the slave bikini outfit, and just yikes.

Also just a lot of one-off NPCs that everyone goes crazy for and ships their OCs with, but I  constantly forget who they even are lol. Attros Finn comes to mind. I don’t hate them! Just don’t get the appeal I guess.

The character(s) I love that everyone else hates:

Lord Scourge, although I’m not sure he’s really hated as much anymore. I just remember at launch, when all of the overly invested Revan stans absolutely HATED him because of what he did in the Revan novel, and then flooded the tags with vitriol over being “stuck” with him as a Knight, and having to hear about Revan in his companion convos. It was really, really tiresome! Maybe it’s because I never really cared that deeply about Revan as my personal character, but I could not understand the backlash.

Anyway, Lord Scourge is my favorite companion in the game by a long shot. I love the conversations you can have with him about the Jedi vs Sith, and I love the mutually respectful tone those conversations take. (Where other Bioware companions who disagree with you have a tendency to just go, “You’re wrong.” and shut you down.) The fact that he’s so tied in with the plot just makes me love him more, really.

The character(s) I used to love but don’t any longer:

Cytharat, Koth and Theron mostly. Although this takes a bit of explaining, and is a bit Discourse-y – because I really appreciate them as characters, but their role and Bioware’s decisions with them is what made me no longer love them.Here’s the thing: Bioware has a bad habit of introducing male characters that are bisexual, and then having them betray you, leading to situations where they either get murdered or vanish from the narrative entirely. Meanwhile, bisexual women like Lana are untouched and around forever.

I was overjoyed when I first saw Cytharat. Y'all know I’m a ho for purebloods, and the fact that he was Malgus’ apprentice was fascinating to me – and then he turned out to be a bi romance. I got very hyped for him, only to find out he dies like 5 minutes later – or if you save him, he’s never seen again. Huge letdown.

Koth was the first character I fell in love with of the new KOTFE crew – I even initiated a romance with him! – but it quickly became obvious there’s no way to play the expansion without him turning on you judgementally at some point or another. And then, hey big surprise, you can kill him or else he’s never seen again.

Theron I’ve loved since we first got to know him in the Forged Alliances content, but that whole storyline where he seemingly betrays you out of nowhere, only to later reveal he didn’t actually, idk. And then, once again, you either kill him or he disappears from the story. It felt like a weirdly shoehorned in plot for shock value, and robbed us of a second bi MOC character.

You see the trend here? I want to love these characters, but Bioware continually electing to do this shit with bi dudes is tiresome and makes me unwilling to invest any interest in the characters anymore.

The character(s) I would totally smooch:

None.

The character(s) I’d want to be like:

None really come to mind? I just want to be a Jedi, come on.

The character(s) I’d slap:

Hunter all day every day.

The pairing(s) that I love:

Haha, this question is hard, because most of the SWTOR ships I’m invested in are between my OCs and my friends’ OCs.

However.

SCOURGE / KNIGHT IS THE BIG ONE, THE ULTIMATE, THE ALL-TIME FAVORITE. It’s really hard to describe just how much I love this ship, and just how much time and energy I’ve invested into it over the past… 8 years wow……….. To the point of being almost territorial. And it’s also near impossible for me to talk about why I love it, because the version I ship is so personalized with my specific Jedi Knight, especially since it had to live exclusively in headcanon land for so long. Scourge is, more or less, my Knight’s support pillar and the thing that grounds him and keeps him humble, in a world where my Knight is surrounded by people who expect him to be a pure flawless messiah. But, I mean. How can you have a man look at your character and say, “I’ve waited 300 years to see your face.” and not immediately ship it. And then I finally got vindicated after all these years when it was made canon!

I really love Arcann / Knight for a lot of the same reasons as the above, but I just really adore his one (1) romance convo haha. Granted, yes he did a lot of fucked up things, but I was so grateful when he had like… a Zuko-esque redemption. Where he comes to your character and firmly believes he doesn’t deserve forgiveness, and especially doesn’t deserve affection, and is instead met with acceptance and a chance to grow and heal. That’s the good shit.

Others:

Lana / Warrior and Lana / Inquisitor are my particular jam. I endlessly enjoy the mutual respect between Lana and those particular PCs.

Malavai Quinn / Sith Warrior is a longtime fave, and although I DO love him with a female Warrior, I really do with he’d been an option for dudes as well. And I feel the same in reverse about Vette / Warrior – I do like her with a male Warrior, and it’s so sweet and wholesome and endearing, but man I wish she’d been an option for female Warriors.

I ship Risha with every woman – especially Vette and Sumalee – and will be salty until my grave that Risha / f!Smuggler isn’t possible, because I love Risha with the Smuggler but she gives me powerful WLW vibes.

Agent / Watcher Two is also a lowkey favorite, but I ALSO wish it could be done with a female Agent instead. Same with Agent / Raina Temple.

Agent / Vector is very sweet, but again, I will be salty until my grave that it couldn’t be done with a male Agent.

Can you guys sense a running theme here?

Finally: NGL I love Valkorion / Senya, even though that ended in pure disaster.

And people around here used to ship Keeper / Lokin, and tbh, I still kinda love it lol.

The pairing(s) that I despise:

In general terms, I fucking hate every single romance that involves the male PC romancing his padawan or underling, especially since most of them seem like very young girls. I don’t know why this is so pervasive in the game, but yikes Bioware. Consular/Nadia is the worst offender, but they’re all just cringe central for me.

But the big one is Agent / Hunter. This would have gotten me run off Tumblr back in the day, but god I hate this pairing. I mentioned in the last post that I just will never enjoy ships where the two characters actively want to murder each other, but. This just gets magnified for me with Agent/Hunter, where all the mind control and blatant abuse comes into play – and people have a tendency to write noncon rape fic of the two and present it as ~sexy rivalmance~, which is awful. Add to this the “no homo” reveal where Hunter turns out to be a woman, after getting everyone hyped about a dude flirting with their male character the whole game, and it’s just a huge No Thanks from me all around.

And for largely personal reasons I just don’t like seeing female Knights with Scourge. Listen, for YEARS  I was treated like a pariah for shipping Scourge with my male Knight, while being unable to find Scourge content that didn’t have a female Knight plastered all over him. Even though he wasn’t even a romance option one way or another, the way the fandom treated m!Knight/Scourge with disdain while ardently shipping f!Knight/Scourge was offputting as shit. And then, after years, he was made a romance option for women AND men, and all these awful people acted like they were robbed, the way people reacted when Kaidan and Jaal were made bi in Mass Effect. I’m so tired. I never want to see Scourge with a female Knight again.

About Me: I'm well over 21+, bordering on thirty at this point. I'm located in the central standard timezone. I've been roleplaying for well over fourteen years, writing is my favorite free hobby. I'm pretty chatty, so it's easiest if anyone just jumps into talking to me like we've been friends for a decade.  Style: I usually write in third person, past tense format, but I can adapt to present tense. I'd rather not, though. I usually try to shell out 2-8 paragraphs, all depending on what's going on in the roleplay, of course. I would appreciate it if I had a partner that would try to match that. I try to stay simple and enjoyable as far as vocabulary goes, if you're looking for someone to purple prose with, keep looking. Time:  I'm never in a huge hurry, if you can reply to me once or twice a week I'll be pretty happy. I also enjoy if we're both free and up for it a few posts a night, either is fine.  Availability: I work pretty basic hours, Monday through Friday and I never get off later than six pm central standard. I'm mostly on during the evening, but I drop in on mobile through the day.  Preferences: Seeing as how I'm older than a lot of people on here, I do usually like writing with someone that's at least 21+. I enjoy writing through email, docs or on discord.  I prefer to write canon characters, but I don't mind creating an OC, or even writing canon against an OC. I also don't mind crossovers and often find them enjoyable af.  Original: When it comes to original content I'm most interested in fantasy, history or mythology (think American gods). Scifi, I do love a good space adventure. I also enjoy history based things, primarily around WWII or Vietnam war. I have a ton of ideas for these ideas as well so if you're interested just let me know. Fandoms/Characters Marvel  Everyone's in a marvel mood, I'm digging it.

1, 9, 14, star wars maybe?

1 - An OTP I don’t get

I’m not sure? I’ve been in various fandoms for so long that I feel I can understand what people like about any given ship, because I’m familiar with the tropes. That said, there are ships I don’t get on an emotional level despite not needing an explanation to understand other people’s reasons. Those tend to be the m/m ships, especially if they’re white. (My affection for Chirrut/Baze is greater than for most m/m ships I’ve encountered, but less than my affection for Jyn/Cassian. Ofc we also just get more for the latter.) I only love m/f or f/f–or poly ships, as long as there’s at least one woman involved. (A similar pattern exists with my taste in gen pairings, with exceptions like Luke/Vader.) So, I’d say Qui Gon/Obi Wan, Obi Wan/Anakin, and Kylux.

I can respond emotionally to these ships if I make the effort to read a story–actually, I have an unusually strong response to Anakin*, so I’m capable of responding to him and Obi Wan with less effort. (Also, him and Luke are the only father-son dynamic I’ve ever been truly moved by with any staying power.) Especially after Clone Wars; the movies don’t do much that makes me care about them even as a platonic bond until Revenge of the Sith. But that doesn’t make me any more interested in O/A fic and fan art. I just have always wished there was more het for him. I love Padme and Anakin, which is a juggernaut too, but I tend to multiship my favorites and there’s practically nothing that suits my tastes aside from that one ship. Unsurprisingly, since there aren’t too many female characters in the franchise, let alone significant ones with meaty stories, until Clone Wars in 2008 and the newer films. By which time fandom patterns were set.

Also, I think people find him less shippable than they do Obi Wan? Maybe because he’s so Padmesexual–even as someone who multiships by nature I do have to be convinced by a story pairing him with anyone but her unless it’s a triad, such is the narrative weight of the ship–but I think a large part of it is people didn’t think he was cool enough to ship (until now maybe?) outside of either canon or a noncanon m/m that (I think) both fit the template for many popular ships. At least, I got that impression from the time I spent reading BTVS crossovers circa the mid-2000s: pretty much everything that wasn’t set in the OT or EU focused on Obi Wan. He was probably the most popular prequel character.

Which reminds me; I think Obi Wan/Padme was popular back then, if not in fics then in people commenting that it didn’t make sense for her to love Anakin when Obi Wan was around. But that pairing holds no interest for me beyond vague curiosity, and there’s only one fic I’ve ever read. I remember it was a post-RotS au where Anakin’s shadow loomed large over Padme, and I liked that about it. (Oh, I’ve just remembered one more, but it was one-sided love from Obi Wan and more Padme/Anakin than anything else.)

Another ship I never cared about is Han/Leia, though the TFA stuff worked for me. But then, my emotional attachment to the original trilogy is through Anakin and his children. I’m rewatching today, so maybe I’ll care this time.

** I usually don’t get OTT emotionally invested in male characters except as ship objects. I’m fond of them, but they don’t move me on a deep level as protagonists of their own stories. Which might be a side-effect of the kind of media I generally go for. Idk. I want to be clear that this isn’t intended as a political statement, even if I can’t honestly separate it from my politics. Hopefully it makes sense? It’s a clear pattern once I look back on my fandom involvement; the only other exceptions I can think of are Harry Potter and Zuko. More recently, I have been into multishipping SW Finn, but am wary of fandom so have barely consumed anything.

9 - Most Disliked Character

I don’t know? I don’t really dislike any characters in and of themselves. I never understood the popularity of Boba Fett or Darth Maul, but Clone Wars and Rebels did make me feel very tiny feelings about them. Tiny; I’m not made of stone, but fundamentally I don’t care and don’t get it.

I can also say that while I don’t dislike them, the fan-faves of the first two trilogies are the mains I’m least into: Han and Obi Wan, though this is significantly more true about Han and thus feels unfair to Obi Wan.

14 - Unpopular Opinion About Your Fandom

I really don’t know? It’s so huge and so old–fandom and canon material both–and I was gone for so long sometime between 2006 and 2014. As with Tolkien fandom, I’m not sure I’ve ever dared to have an opinion I felt strongly about without deferring to someone else in the end. I never felt familiar enough with the canon…wait, I can’t believe this. Of course I have an unpopular opinion; am I just so used to it that it doesn’t stick out? Or is it that it’s not about any particular thing, but rather the movies as a whole?

It might change with today’s rewatch, but I just love the prequels more than the other movies, save perhaps Rogue One. I know they have problems. They also have more that is just fundamentally appealing to me. The tragedy. The more involving protagonist. (Though I love Luke and expect my rewatch to deepen that.) The fact that its female lead felt closer to the narrative core of its story. (For all the problems with how the prequels treated Padme, I felt like she was the second most important main character, after Anakin. Whereas I felt Leia got sidelined out of the Skywalker story she was made a part of and into Han/Leia, but that might be the effect of fandom + dim memories. This might change during rewatch. I’m on Empire now.) The politics. The scope. The tragedy.

The prequels just wreck me. The things the original movies have over them are Luke/Vader–which might not have as much weight for me without the prequels, that I saw first (if I tried Machete order it might be different, as that sounds like it shifts the weight of the Luke/Vader story onto Luke more)–and Leia being cool. Also Chewie and the Ewoks are cute.
