Anyway here’s a good boy and some smug asshole
I need him to face what he's done and feel regret, on some primal level. I need him to reconcile with himself. I need him to face reality, and choose the Acendancy. And become who he was before again, even if it's not an exact copy. I want my Thrawn back 🥺
Not to have raw emotion in this Chili’s tonight, but I’m imagining Ezra getting taken to the Ascendancy and realizing that the cold, somewhat callous man who enabled Hera’s cold-blooded torture and presented him to a Sith Lord on a silver platter is...rather beloved, if controversial.
(Ezra is a Jedi—he does not let his anger consume him, but this time he’s resisting a mixture of that and confusion)
to be clear. Ezra’s feelings are absolutely valid in this scenario. He does not have to get cured of any dislike for Thrawn just by seeing how the Chiss he’s close to think of him. But it’s definitely something I’d want any writer who takes this path in canon to consider.
bonus: the Chiss hearing Ezra’s (and very many imperials with them) testimony about Thrawn’s actions under the empire and *them* needing to reconcile that Thrawn, who, while a trigger-happy on preemptive strikes, generally cared, is the same person who they’re hearing about committing cold military acts and nearly bombing a planet into submission.
Thrawn to Ar'alani, Thrawn: Treason
As it should be.
Damian | Timothy | Jason | Dick
• Early Life:
Following Canon, Jason was a street rat. During patrol, Batman just so happened to park his car next to Jason's territory in Crime Alley. Twelve year old Jay took the opportunity to steal from the Bat, he was caught and sent to a children's home. When he infiltrated a crime ring after being expressly forbidden from doing so, Batman recognized the pattern and took him under his wing to replace Timothy who hadn't been out of the game for even a year yet.
• First Outing:
Jason warned Batman of a group of drug lords who will be meeting up, but didn't believe that Batman believed him because of his dismissive nature. Jason decided to go after the bad guys himself, but to his surprise Batman appeared and helped him.
• The Name:
Jason was given Tim's old moniker of Aves, creating a mini legacy. Though the twelve year old was estastatic about becoming Aves, the fifteen year old Timothy felt like he was sidelined.
• Home Life:
Jason at this point was considered Bruce's favorite child. He was the first kid that Bruce chose to bring into the life, and the only one he officially adopted. Even so, Bruce treated Jason in a similar manner to Tim, if slightly more attentive.
Damian (22 years old) as well took more of an interest in this brother, taking personal interest in training him to fight the Joker after what happened to Tim.
Tim and Jason were often mistaken for being much closer than they were, being the closest in age with only a three year age gap, in truth Jason seeks for Tim's approval and Tim is bitter about being replaced.
Alfred as always treats them the same.
• The Incident
The Joker. A crowbar. You know the story. Fifteen year old Jason Todd is murdered and mourned.
Except this time he doesn't go unavenged.
• Independence:
Upon his resurrection by Lazarus Pit, Jason Todd, formerly Aves, is trained by the League of Assassins to take revenge by killing the Joker. They are unaware that the Joker who is currently wreaking havoc is a clone. The original was dispatched by Damian.
I've recently started getting really into DC but most of my knowledge comes from movies and TV shows. So I was wondering if someone could please help me figure out where to start with the Batman comics?
Thank you @vibratingbonesbis 💙

I have a vision,
And it will probably never be realized.
Taking from Legends, Nuruodo is a family name. In this case it defines what we as humans think of, instead of a political family. A surname.
There is a planet near the Ascendancy, so close some would mistake it for being a part of it. Our world, Earth. During this time, it "discovered" by the Chiss and recognized as a colony.
Humans are as we know them, no remarkable traits, but with key differences from the Star Wars humans. They're thought to be cousins genetically.
The humans begin to integrate into Chiss society, though many are unhappy about it. The story focuses around the humans fight to be recognized as equals by the chiss. And their victory.
It also examines the joys and hardships of a interspecies marriage between a chiss and a human. And their eventual success.
I have one scene playing on repeat in my head:
It has been decades since humans first began the fight for equality, and progress has been made. The MC and her husband stand on a balcony in the Aristocra's Hall, with their three children behind them. All clothed in burgundy red.
An usher announces every being who enters the room. They are there to witness the induction of new merit adoptives into the Family. His loud and clear voice reads over their names on the list.
"Presenting, of the house Nuruodo, honored by the Great Family of Stybla,
"Raw'nuruodo, Grand Admiral of the Empire, Agent of the Acendancy.
"(Y/N) Nuru, Syndic of the Ruling Family of Mitth.
"Their sons, Mitth'icra'nuru, cousin of the Family, Junior Commander of the Chiss Expansionary Defence Fleet. And Mitth'ras'nuru, cousin of the Family.
"Their daughter, Mitth'aia'nuru, cousin of the Family, Lieutenant of the Chiss Expansionary Defence Fleet."
*Thrawn was sent to the Empire for 8 years, he was rewelcomed into the Acendancy as an Agent and retained his rank of Grand Admiral, it is a complicated ordeal. His wife, is Syndic Prime of the Mitth, and combined chiss and human tradition for her name. Thicran is their eldest son, and an officer of the CEDF. His sister Thaian, is three years younger and followed his footsteps to become an officer. Their youngest brother Thrasn, was named after their uncle, he was born ten years after his sister and is not of age at the events of the scene.
I just watched The Honorable Ones, I now understand where Kalluzeb came from.
The Wedding
Warnings: long vows (like seriously a lot of vows), wedding, fluff, uses "____" instead of y/n
I used Buddhist vows for some of them, I thought they fit with Chiss culture.
I stand at the crest of the aisle. Long rows of pews line the edges of a path sculpted through the snow. My feet are bare, much to the chargrin of the man standing at the end. Anklets adorn each of my feet, strings of crystals connecting the chain to a ring on my middle toe. A long, a-line skirt reachs to the top of my feet, nearly obscuring the jewelry. It drapes across my hips, falling to the ground in ripples. The white fabric is thick and heavy, lifted with a petticoat, and embroidered with silver vines. Pieces of lace cover the skirt like a layer of snow, and obscuring a small pocket tucked away in the folds.
Above the skirt, a break shows skin, the skirt and bodice are not connected and the gap between the two pieces shows an ornate belly ring, layered with glittering diamonds. The bodice is lace, with silk sleeves that reach to my wrists where a double-ring rests between two fingers on my right hand. It's light and comfortable. And the scalloped neckline shows my collarbone. With each step I take, the dress shimmers as if frost is embedded into it.
Simple silver hoops adorn my ears, diamond studs climb up to my helix, and a chain made of glittering crystals and pearls connects a ring on my nose to the one on my ear. Faint blush tinges my cheeks, though I'm sure most of it is more natural now than makeup. A combination of the cold and the intense eyes of the man in front of me.
A pearl and diamond net wraps around my hair, pulled up safely and secured with half a thousand bobby pins. Resting in my hands is a small bouquet, constructed of various wildflowers collected this morning by the children and bridesmaids.
My feet fall into the soft snow, with each step my breath quickens, my heart starts to race. He stands before me, mere steps away.
His own appearance isn't much different than any other day. His skin a dark cerulean, a start contrast to the white uniform he wears, his rank plaque though absent. The two-piece is fitted to him perfectly, it is reinforced with extra padding for warmth, as well as tall black boots and a cinched belt. He does not wear his gloves today.
Tall and lean, he stands a head taller than me. His stature is intimidating, his broad shoulders squared and his stance proud, his hands clasped infront of him. But his eyes are soft.
They shine brighter than they normally would, red and intense as they gaze into my own, watching every step I take closer to him. The faint pupils are dilated, and I can almost see the anticipation.
He's handsome, and in the winter light of Rentor; ethereal.
When I reach the small dais the groom and Ar'alani stand on, he reaches out a hand to help me across the small step. I take his hand gratefully and swing my skirts behind me. I stand facing him for a moment, before releasing his hand to turn to the officiant and he does as well.
The ceremony would be held in Sy Bisti, so that both of our families could understand, but our vows would be spoken in our native tongues. Ar'alani smiles slightly at the two of us, as an Admiral of the CEDF she is licensed to officiate weddings, and we did not have the time to find another officiant willing to marry a human and a chiss.
"Welcome all who have come to witness the union between this man and woman, ____ and Mitth'raw'nuruodo. Are there any who oppose this wedding?"
The pews filled with only our closest friends and family, gaze up at us, joy kindles in their eyes and none speak against us.
"Very well then, let us commence with the vows." Ar'alani gestures for the two of us, I sink to my knees pillowed by the soft dress, and out of the corner of my eye I watch as Thrawn kneels, we are turned slightly to each other. With a breath Ar'alani begins the long vows,
"Do you Mitth'raw'nuruodo and ____ pledge to help each other to develop your hearts and minds, cultivating compassion, generosity, ethics, patience, enthusiasm, concentration, and wisdom as you age and undergo the various ups and downs of life and to transform them into the path of love, compassion, joy, and equanimity?"
Smiling, on my knees I turn to Thrawn for a moment.
"I do." I whisper and an echo, "Ch'ah k'ir."
"Recognizing that the external conditions in life will not always be smooth and that internally your own minds and emotions will sometimes get stuck in negativity, do you pledge to see all these circumstances as a challenge to help you grow, to open your hearts, to accept yourselves, and each other; and to generate compassion for others who are suffering?"
"I do." "Ch'ah k'ir."
"Understanding that just as we are a mystery to ourselves, each other person is also a mystery to us, do you pledge to seek to understand yourselves, each other, and all living beings, to examine your own minds continually and to regard all the mysteries of life with curiosity and joy?"
"I do." "Ch'ah k'ir."
Ar'alani smiles at us, her hand reaches for my own and holds it up as she asks the questions again, this time directed.
"Will you take this man?"
I turn to look at Thrawn, to find him gazing at me, a kind of intensity to his eyes. I smile slightly before turning back to Ar'alani.
"I will." I say confidently. and turning fully to him I say my portion of the vows, "I will take you as you are, to learn and grow with, to explore and adventure with, to respect you in everything as an equal partner, in the foreknowledge of joy and pain, strength and weariness, direction and doubt, for all the risings and settings of the sun."
Ar'alani nods a small good whispered beneath her breath before she repeats the same question to Thrawn, pointed and direct.
"Ch'ah k'ir." With a nod from Ar'alani, he reaches forward and unclips the chain connecting my ear and nose, he twists it in his hands, before connecting it once again this time to the opposing ear and a small stud. "Bah sea csei Ch'ah cart vim sea csei Ch'ah viz, Ch'ah ch'avsat'cah vah veah vah cart. Ch'ah vun'ur vah veah ch'a ch'etecerci. Ch'ah bun'zan'i to sascasi nah bah to carcun'co sir Ch'ah cart ch'eo ch'acico ch'aah vim ch'eo ch'acico cart ch'eo."
"You may now kiss the bride," she grins and as she cross behind me to give us privacy she whispers "he's yours now."
Ar'alani gestures for us to stand and a small Chiss girl comes running to the front of the aisle who holds a small fan in her hand, she offers it to me and I take it from her hand with a quick "bin'vi" and giggle from the girl. I turn to Thrawn, he has a small smile on his face and his eyes are filled with love.
"Ch'acah." I face Thrawn and with one powerful stride, he closes in on me, I hardly have enough time to click open the fan to cover the kiss.
Thrawn's vows: "With all that I am and all that I have, I accept you as you are. I honor you as a woman, as an equal, and as a warrior. I welcome the uncertainties of the future for I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine."
