Purshee's O66 Makeover :P

My headcanon is that there is a special contingent of Archivists that always carry a Fragment of the Order's most basic and precious knowledge with them, tasked with protecting that knowledge with their lives should something happen to the Archives.

The moment the siege on the Temple started, these Archivists dipped on special, individual escape routes that only the Archivist themselves, the Battlemaster and the Head Archivist would know and they only return upon an all-clear from the Head Archivist personally.

Purshee was tasked with the protection of Form II, Makashi.

She survives the entirety of the Empire's reign and only returns to the New Republic several years after its foundation, technically breaking protocol by not waiting for the all-clear (which would never come). Only one other Archivist Keeper of Knowledge ever returns like she did and it is unclear whether that is because the others are still waiting for the signal or if they all were hunted down and killed.

#over the duration of her exile she becomes a makashi master because the holocrons and records of the form are often the only company she has #it actually saves her life because her proficiency in the duelling form comes in handy the one or two times an inquisitor finds her #random boli thoughts #star wars #oc stuff #star wars oc #purshee izleze #my art #the reason she returns is because she sees Leia wielding her former Master's (Vima-Da-Boda) lightsaber

"Antisemitism is bad, always, in every situation, and is still a prominent issue that needs to be solved"

and

"The atrocities Israel has been committing towards the Palestinian people since 1948 are completely unforgivable, and the Israeli state cannot continue to exist"

are two viewpoints that can and ABSOLUTELY SHOULD coexist.

#palestine #free palestine #fuck israel #to clarify i did not mean forced exile of Jewish people from Israel #but rather the dissolution of the Israeli government and the return of Palestinian land to Palestinians #forced exile would be unjust and unnecessary right Israel?#RIGHT ISRAEL?!?!?!?!

i hate MANY things about how angsty the s'chn t'gai family's canon is but i think my main issue with it is that it really makes a "jim meets spock's siblings" scenario impossible because of the timelines

(p.s. if you know any fics of jim meeting spock's siblings, send them my way pls)

#i am soooo annoyed #michael gone into the future. sybok exiled from vulcan and later dead because he went insane and thought he was gonma fight god or somethin #spock just. There #then jim dies too after about 30 years after meeting spock so even if michael even returned via wormhole shenanigans she might not see him #the temptation to write a fic where a) sybok doesn't start talking to god and b) the discovery doesn't fall into the future #so that i can just have a. scenario. where jim meets the family.#if anyone knows any fics like these PLEASE send them my way #limebug's original posts #limebug.txt #star trek #spirk #k/s #star trek tos #s'chn t'gai family

behold them

pretty much all of my pieces are at the rendering stage, and my brain needed a break from this annoyingly satisfying process. So have this self indulgent sketch of my two girls, jesra and phebe, bc i love them so much <3

#now excuse me i must return to my mountain of wips like a greedy dragon #sorry for the lack of activity here I promise I'm doing art #it's just too messy and ugly to share here #also I passed my driving exam and now the streets have gained a new menace #phebs arm/glove thing has a thorn pattern bc she's dangerous #and that jacket is the only thing keeping jesra from returning to the darkside #pls don't take her emotional support jacket away #kotor #my art #revan #jedi exile #phebe aastra #jesra kast

i love having cats. there's just a Little Guy in my house that i can go annoy when i'm bored

#she's my bestie she's my nemesis she's my comedy partner she's my little meow meow #i poke her she smacks me #i say hi she makes an unholy noise in return #i crochet she sits in my lap and watches #i freak out bc theres a spider & she eats it #and when i keep my door closed for more than five seconds she yowls and scratches like she's been exiled #she truly is The Most Cat Ever #except also not bc she acts more like a person. shes too smart #absolutely unprompted #sorry im just feeling Affection for my small ginger menace #she is currently crouching on the rug trying to Entice me into shenanigans #ohhhh nvm she just brought one of her toys into the room. she wants me to throw it so so badly #get you a cat who plays fetch #and Wont Stop Staring oh my god i can feel her eyes boring into the back of my skull #she's just staring at me from the hallway. menacingly #her tiny murder paws.... her weirdly strong tail that hurts when it slaps me in the face... big ol ears... pink nose... She <3 #i've never had a cat with such a strong personality #sorry *purrsonality #her range of expressions and vocals... unparalleled #helped me carry a bit for a full five minutes a lil bit ago #meowed back in all the right places with the right tone #she knows whats up <3

Agrippa, Antony, and Octavian operate in a kind of love triangle where the object of desire is Rome. however. definitions of Rome vary. Rome is a place, Rome is home for Antony. For Octavian: Rome is a place, Rome is home, so he BECOMES Rome. Agrippa has only ever operated on a Rome Is Octavian framework, so as long as Rome stands, Octavian lives, immortality is achievable.

Everyone else suffers.

#something blah 'you can never return home' for antony too but idc about that #it's like. EXCEEDINGLY hard for me to care about an antony-exile-rejection of home framework #when i think. about. assimilation under the feet of the empire. and octavian and antony were rival dynasts #augh. whatever. exile trauma-rejection of home is antony's theme. i wont rob him of it #but i also wont wax poetic abt it because he commits one of thee worst sins to me ever. just an absolute fuck up of a leader #some real tirad pass shit going on there #(the exception to the rule is cleopatra '63 antony. love you babygirl!!!)#talking tag
