Hey, heroes! If you guys could reblog this that’d be supercalifragilisticexpialidocious!
Reblogging this once more for the wonderful night owls, kiwis, and Australians. Plus all the other different timezone babes out there. And the Emperor Penguins in Antarctica of course. Them especially.
I’m not quite sure what Anbu/Root is exactly, unfortunately, but I would DEFINITELY write Naruto fanfic. 500% definitely.
It’s a bit of a bummer that I was most into Naruto in middle school, because I wasn’t aware of fandom then and thus didn’t have a creative outlet for writing/art, but I’ve slowly been inching my way back into it properly as an adult. I was worried I’d miss the party, but people are still going strong in that fandom and that makes me eager to try to join!
*chin hands* I’m not sure who I’d write about, though. Kakashi has always been a favorite from Day One (my public porn reading, childhood trauma up the wazoo DUDE), maybe him? Hmm. I’m also a huge sucker for Kakagai. Maybe I’d go with that?
I’ve been keeping up with Boruto, too. That show is fun, with the occasional moment of holyfuckholyfuckilovethis (read: Adult Mitsuki) and loads of Nostalgia Feels™, but if I write for Naruto, I’d go old school.
Or fuck it, maybe I’ll write Time Travel fic. I’m a slut for that stuff!
Anbu is those ninja with the animal mask super assassins/spies secret thingy of Konoha.
Root is Danzou’s version of it. bUT YOU KNOW THEM BETTER AS SAI, TENZOU (OR YAMATO) AND KAKASHI
I’ve been doing a lot of research for this podcast, mostly because I like being thorough (without giving too much away, one of the PCs is a Twi’lek dude that works for one of the giant droid-making megacorporations active during the Imperial Era; more or less a pencil-pushing desk jockey that suddenly gets thrown into this super intense Force adventure and IF YOU COULDN’T TELL I’M IN LOVE WITH THE IDEA OF HIM @amaronith is a gem) and because it’s guaranteed that the longer you look into Star Wars lore, the wackier it gets.
Anyways, I’ve discovered that there exists an assassin version of C-3PO named C-3PX and I bruised a goddamn rib as soon as I saw him. Just-Just imagine Threepio with red eyes and a rocket launcher. That’s it! It. KILLS ME. It’s amazing. New fave.
(psst pop what can I bribe you so you can give me a description cuz I want to draw the twi’lek techno dude plz,,,, IT’S A NEED- FOR SCIENCE I MEAN)
!!!!! My dude, I’ll give you descriptions of the whole dang menagerie once I have them! As it stands, everyone is still adding details to their characters, so I don’t want to be like “Here’s exactly how they are before we’ve even started the podcast!” you know?
I will say, right now what we do have (at least as far as PCs go, I have NPCs for days that I’ll yell at you about whenever you want) are: @jhaernyl’s Mirialan Sojourner-turned-pilot with a slightly irksome constant Force Vision problem (though she deals, she’s a badass it’s what she does. That and happily encourage small pockets of Fuck the Empire! wherever she happens to roam, though she’s a bit salty about the Rebels themselves); @aerefyr’s middle-aged Nautolan mechanic dude that has lived the bulk of his life without the Force and would LOVE for it to stay that way tyvm; and @amaronith’s purple-skinned pencil-pushing Twi’lek that has moved up way too damn quickly in his particular company of employment thanks to unknowingly using Force Suggestion and is now waaaaaay out of his depth. (When Ama and I talked about him, we joked that he would be in the classic kind of nerd getup: white shirt buttoned all the way up and stuffed into some slacks, a pocket protector, a holonet interface visor held together with tape over his eyes and honestly now we’re both a little a lot sold on the idea).
They’re all awesome as heck. This is gonna be a blast. May the Force be with us? Sure, it can come!
,,,, they all rock and I Am In Love with them.
I hope it goes well bc it sounds So Fucking Awesome (also I’ll try to listen but no promises since ADHD+not my first language means english podcasts are a bit hit and miss with me)

This may very well be the last time I make one of these updates where I don’t have to link the post.It’s the final countdown now, eggs and yolks, so I’m not gonna update again until the weekend (unless of course the goal is reached, in which case you will hear me screaming about it. Profusely).
Same as all the others, please reblog and signal boost it if you feel so inclined! And if you have donated or plan to donate, don’t forget to let @gay-trans-leo, @kettish, @stylishbutdefinitelyillegal, and @krunchy-tuna know, because all four of those splendid lovelies have offered writing and/or art rewards to anyone that donates over a certain amount! (The deets are here)
With that being saiiiiiiiiiiiiiiid *waggles brows some more*
*Flying with his mysterious, incredibly attractive rescuer (who he calls Finn purely out of Force-fueled instinct) is one of the best moments of Poe Dameron’s life.
*Crashing into a sinkhole on Jakku five minutes later definitely isn’t.
*Poe survives, sans jacket (blast) and sans Finn (double blast).
*He really hopes Finn isn’t dead. Something tells him that he isn’t, but that same something can’t be bothered to tell him *where*. As he dusts himself off and picks a direction to start to wander down, Poe thinks about the pros and cons of revealing his true nature to the galaxy just for the chance to slice up the First Order with his lightsaber and cull them from existence. It’d be worth it. He thinks Finn would appreciate it.
*(Shit, he knew Finn for all of five minutes and he’s already this murderous on his behalf? Shit. And something telling Poe he isn’t dead? Shit! Bonds do that. SHIT)
*Poe finds a travelling merchant that is overly eager to get into his pants. Mind Tricking the creep into giving him all of his money and the keys to a dingy spacecraft that looks like a breeze could tear it apart feels fantastic. It has been a Day™.
*It takes forever to get back to D’Qar. Time for meditation!
*He sees a girl with her hair pulled back into three buns, hears a familiar voice shouting something along the lines of “JUNK!” and…BB-8?
*(He is not going to freak out about a surprise bond with the sexy stormtrooper. He is not going to freak out about a surprise bond with the sexy stormtrooper. He is NOT GOING TO.)
*He does. Does this mean he has to take Finn on as an apprentice now? He doesn’t want to do that. He wants to ask him out on a date! Would Finn even date a Sith? Oh Force. He probably hates red lightsabers! What about yellow eyes?
*Poe spends a good amount of time staring at his reflection in the viewport, switching his eye color from Sith yellow to their natural dark brown and back again, trying to figure out which one looks better. He doesn’t decide before he makes planetfall on the Resistance home base.
*He goes to see the General before anyone else. The first thing Leia does when she sees him is hug him. Poe hugs back. Who says Sith Lords can’t enjoy a good hug?
*This is promptly followed by “What the hells happened?” as she leads him to her private briefing room.
*Poe explains, not even bothering to downplay how absolutely amazing and astounding and lovely Finn the Stormtrooper is. Leia’s eyebrow is eternally raised during that part as she listens intently. She *knows*, and here Poe thought he was being subtle.
*“He sounds like quite the man, this rescuer of yours,” she says, giving him a once over before settling her intense gaze on his face.
“He IS,” insists Poe.
“Sounds like it’s difficult to keep yourself together around him,” Leia muses.
“It IS,” agrees Poe.
Leia smirks at him. “I can tell.” she gestures at her eyes with one hand. “Let everyone know you’re alive, and then scramble your squadron. The First Order is coming. And Poe? I’m glad you’re alive.”
*She walks away, leaving Poe to wonder what exactly she meant by ‘I can tell’ *waves at face*.
*Realization comes pretty quick. It doesn’t take long to find something reflective.
*Yep. Just as he thought.
*His eyes are still yellow.
*Oh eff.
*When his mom said “Stay away from that old Massassi Base, there’s something off about it.” He should have probably listened
*He did not.
*In his defense, it was *right* there and multiple hanger bays were still intact that were just asking to be explored. How was he supposed to know there was a karking Sith Temple underneath it??
*Naga Sadow is a surprisely chill guy (I’m sorry, Freedon Nadd who? Don’t know him), for an ancient half-Sith that’s been in a suspended animation for thousands of years. Turns out he has to be though, since all his mastery of Sith alchemy turned out to be useless when his Massassi slaves abandoned him to the ruins of his temple and all the muscles in his body atrophied due to improper care. Of course he’s gonna be chill to the kid that wakes him up. Who else is gonna get him OUT OF HERE.
*Poe does not take him out.
*Sadow eventually comes to the conclusion that he might die here. Time to train an apprentice.
*Poe is a terrifyingly good Sith. He’s even more terrifyingly good at *hiding* it. Natural shielding ability to die for. Even when Leia Organa and Luke Skywalker themselves visit, they never notice it.
*Ben Solo does, though, when Luke brings his apprentice by. It’s subtle, but he knows. Poe can tell. He almost decides to kill Solo over it, until he reaches out in the Force and sees that there’s darkness in him, too. A little smudge of it. So Poe goes *shrug* might as well just leave it.
*Ben ends up following him back to Naga Sadow. Promptly demands to know what’s going on, Naga says the impolite Sith equivalent of ‘fuck you’, and Ben kills him.
*This was the first moment Poe Dameron realized that Ben Solo was an asshole.
*They both come to the mutual understanding that Luke and Leia don’t need to know about this. They part ways, and some years later Poe hears about how Ben slaughtered all the students at Luke Skywalker’s School for Gifted Youngsters. He isn’t surprised.
*After Naga’s death, Poe is at a loss. He’s technically a Sith Lord now by default? What’s he supposed to do? Take over the galaxy? Go see if there are some more Sith in other temples around?
*He decides, fuck it. Might as well join the Resistance. He thinks Leia is cool anyway. His parents did it, why not him?
*But there is the problem of his lightsaber. He doesn’t want to leave it, but he can’t have it on his belt. So he gets a little droid that’ll carry it for him. BB-8 is the best companion a Sith Lord could ever ask for.
*That awkward moment when he’s caught by the First Order and has to awkwardly act like he couldn’t kill them all with a thought. Ben shows up, and he’s Kylo the Wannabee Not-Sith now. Attempts to pry stuff out of Poe’s mind. Poe almost dies laughing because he *sucks at it*. It’s like someone trying to dig through a duracrete wall with a rubber shovel.
*Kylo finally gives up, goes off to stew. Makes sure to put a Force dampener on Poe so he won’t escape, Poe is like ‘Well great’ when a RESCUER shows up. And Poe didn’t even have to Mind Trick him!
*And oh kark, his rescuer is cute.
*He’s **really** cute.
*Shit, Poe has a crush. Shit. Shit! Are Sith Lords supposed to have crushes? Oh eff.
Ok but give a droid a lightsaber and they figure out how to use it 😂 Artoo would be proud
Hey you mind if I follow you into that? Time to challenge myself
YES, ALL ARE WELCOME TO ENTER! WELCOME, COMPADRE.
I’ve got like. 1k projects and I need To Finish Them all.
It’s gonna be hell but I’m so glad we’re all going into it together. (on that note: I had the sudden idea of a SI taking place suddenly in Obi’s head right after kidnapping (sorry, rescuing) Anakin) (SI is my jam and I love all of them)
The goal will probably be to write at least 500 words/day, posting it on tumblr and when the chapter is finished, it’ll probs go on my AO3.
