Echo leaving was Omega's first familiar loss in the series. She's lost her home and seen many clones die, but this is the first time that someone in her squad has left. She has no idea how to process this loss and doesn't understand when Hunter, Wrecker, and especially Tech don't react with the same confusion and anger that she does. They've all lost someone important to them, probably more times than they would like to keep count.
Omega doesn't see that, she sees a cold front, the product of abandonment.
Omega feels like Echo abandoned her, and Tech feels like Crosshair abandoned him.
That's why their conversation in episode 9 is so important. During the first season we, the viewers, see Tech blow up on Cross when they're escaping Kamino, but it is never mentioned again, whatever harbored resentment he may have is sidelined, and it is possible that Omega never saw how much it hurt him. And now with Echo leaving, she does see, that one mention of Crosshair, the pain in his eyes, she can now see that she is more like him that she thought, he's just used to being abandoned.
And now with recent episodes, in season 3, we'll have a chance to see another parallel. Omega never meant to abandon her family, she was taken and she'll most likely be brainwashed (or it will be attempted). Similarly Crosshair didn't have a choice when he was taken. He'll have to face the knowledge that Tech died coming to save him. That he died protecting Omega.
They'll both be a ressentful towards one another, rightfully. But in the end they'll realize that it was Tech's decision. That he sacrificed himself so that they could survive.
And Omega will realize that she's more like Crosshair than she thought. He's just used to being abandoned.
@dustysalmon Of course you may, it's PLO
@chelseadearfromao3 YES
We need more Kit Fisto fics.
We need more Thrawn fics.
We need more alienfucker fics period.
Happy May the 4th everyone.
Is Audible worth it? I just want to finally listen to all of the Thrawn books (I love the snippets I've heard of Marc Thompson's voice), but will I actually save anything? Or would it be better to buy them individually?
Audible is $14.95/month aka 1 credit per month or 1 free book per month, but the Thrawn audiobooks range from a little less to a little more than $15 each. There is a plan that is $119.50/year, that give you 12 credits.
Buying books individually: $171.25
Monthly plan: $179.40
Yearly plan: $119.50
But once I get these books, I'll probably never use it again seeing as I don't really listen to audiobooks.
If you couldn't tell this was me thinking outloud, I problem solve better when I'm speaking to someone else.
Thank you for the tag @vibratingbonesbis 💙
I agree with your observations. 2017 Thrawn or Ascendancy is by far the best bet.
I'm not worried about Rebels Thrawn, any of the others could take him on and win. My concern is for Ahsoka Thrawn, he seems to be based at least loosely on the original Thrawn from the 1991 series. And he's a deadly killer.
Still I would choose 2017 Thrawn. Not only because of his connection to thea Empire and Ar'alani, but also because Ascendancy Thrawn is the past him. And he would best know that Thrawn's techniques.
That being said. I would like to spend the most time alone with Ascendancy Thrawn. Maybe a little one-on-one torture session? 😉
Alright, choose one for an adventure, the other three will try to kill you:
- Ascendancy Thrawn
- 2017 trilogy Thrawn
- Rebel Thrawn
- Ashoka Thrawn (I know I cheat on this one)
🎤🎤🎤
Oh no... oh shit, I'm really screwed here 😂 let's be real, my only chance is if they decide it's a competition and somehow get in each other's way.
But let's give this a go: I need the most competent one to come with me so he isn't trying to kill me. I wanna have adventures with baby Ascendancy Thrawn but he's the least experienced one so he'll be on the killing list. Let's hope he's too busy getting harassed by the Syndicure and going to tribunals
Rebel Thrawn is scary af but the Ghost crew slipped away from him enough times so he's got the worst luck ever. That'll work in my favor.
Ahsoka Thrawn... idk he just looks tired man, dude just wants to go home at this point probably 😂 plus Ezra may have softened him up in their space wilderness adventure which is totally canon and totally happened. yes.
So that leaves 2017 Thrawn as my adventure buddy. 10/10 outcome as he's the most Sherlock Holmesy of the lot. Also if he brings Eli and Faro along, I'll die happy when the other three eventually kill me.
Thank you for the ask!! 💗💗You ramped the difficulty level up to eleven on this one ngl 😂
Thalias is all of us at any given moment.
Thalias: falls for an unreachable, unbelievably smart, and incredibly strong man
Thalias: devotes life to protecting and helping said man
Thalias: realizes that he is unattainable (and that she can't fix him)
Thalias: works on herself
Thalias: becomes a better version of herself
Thalias: falls for an absolute hunk of a man this time with ✨emotional availability✨
Merit adoptives in the Ascendancy

I decided to write a little scene from a story I'm thinking about writing. Let me know if you would like to see more!
Her ears were burning, purple was beginning to spread across them like a wildfire as she stared at the preposterous male in front of her. He hated her, he had since the moment they met. She had believed that it was his hate for her that made him deny his brother's love for her. And now he tells her that she is too good for him? Her mind raced with memories from not so long ago.
"You called me a pig!"
He moved to her side, looking down at her as he spoke,
"Most certainly. Though do not be mistaken I only mean in regards to your attitude and dress. Your air is that of low born stock, but your family have climbed the social ranks quite impressively, and are of high intelligence, higher than even that of many in my own family, I can admit that. But that does not nullify the fact that your attitude is that of, in simple words, an overzealous heifer."
Her mouth fell open, red eyes staring at the male in front of her,
"A heifer!"
He continued unfazed,
"Beyond that you are quite beautiful," his voice lowered" More beautiful than the Earthen swan, I believe the expression is."
She blinked at him a few times, "You misspeak."
"I do not exaggerate," he lifted her head, two fingers placed underneath her chin, "You will make a wonderful wife," he paused as he moved away, his perfectly plucked eyebrow coming to an arch,
"For some crazen male."
He began to walk away, his back turned to her. She called out desperate for answers,
"Then why do you keep me from your brother if you think so lowly of him?"
He paused once again and turned to face her,
"It is for simple reason that I think so lowly of him that I do keep you away from him. You are much too good for him," he lifted his head in thought, "Though a slime would be too good for him."
She stared slacked jawed, as the Patriarch's son bowed his head and turned on his heel, taking his leave.
The nerve of that man. She could hardly believe it.
I love this.
Off the wall au:
Senator of Naboo Padme Amidala, Ambassador of Tatooine Anakin Skywalker, and Viceroy of Stewjon Obi-Wan Kenobi all argue over the custody of Jedi Padawan Ahsoka Tano.
Her teacher, Jedi Master Qui-Gon Jinn, is just trying to figure out which one of them assassinated the Chancellor.
Cue diplomatic senate shenanigans interspersed with attempted interrogations and a very dead Sheev Palpatine.
May the 4th be with you! Or in other words, HAPPY STAR WARS DAY!!!
Tried to get in as many of my Jedi/Light Side Force sensitive favs as I could.
