Making my bi-yearly trip to google docs to start writing a fic that will never see the light of day
YES
Big fan of Kallus-- especially post-defection Kallus whos working on dropping the whole imp apathy thing-- secretly caring so deeply and strongly about everything, he just doesnt quite know how to show it 😫😫
Actually, I think Kallus' rebellion might've been sparked not just by the want to be cared for, but also the want to care for someone. Zeb showed him that caring can be a conscious choice when he showed him care despite their history. In the pilot we see Kallus breaking character for a moment with Ezra, acting as if he almost wants to comfort the child, but instead he dusts off Ezra's shoulder. It's a small moment, but I think it implies that Kallus deep down always cared, he has just mastered the apathetic imperial act so well that he's even fooling himself
it’s unfortunate that (some) people in fandom spaces are starting to get too comfortable complaining and being rude to writers and artists who create contents they personally don’t like (“why are you making this character a top when he’s obviously a bottom? omg do you even understand his character?” “I’m so sick of seeing fan art and fanfic where this character is portrayed as a sadist when he’s actually misunderstood in my opinions, therefore anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and should be shamed” just to name a few I’ve seen) instead of curating their own fandom experiences by engaging only with contents they do like.
you want more fics where (x) is written in this specific way? either write one yourself or politely expressing your opinion about how you hope there will be more fics where (x) is written in this specific way instead of making fandom a toxic place by being rude to writers and artists who dare make contents that are not to your Personal Liking.
if the universe does not revolve around you, strangers and fandom spaces don’t have to cater exclusively to your personal preferences either.
to all my beloved writers and artists, write whatever you want, draw whatever you want. portray that character in whichever way you want to portray. I hope you have fun doing what you love. don’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t do with the blorbo. go wild. I will always support you
(x) And by they I mean Favloni...
But yeah, remembered recently while ranting with a friend about how bad the Ahsoka show was, that it killed and ate the animated Rebels sequel. Am now grumpy.
get you a man who despite his literal decades of practice repressing and hiding his emotions to survive physically cannot hide how smitten he is with you
Thinking about how finding Lira San and living on Lira San are probably two vastly different things for Zeb.
Maybe that's why we're seeing him Doing New Republic Stuff in 9ABY, because actually returning to the progenitor homeworld of your people is probably a kind of cold comfort when those people are dead? (I mean, I have Additional Thoughts on what he might have going on, but.)
Because sure the lasat on Lira San are also his people, but we actually don't know how long ago Lasan and Lira San split or what the reasoning was or how different their cultures become over time. So, yeah, finding Lira San was great - but living there might be the freaking worst sometimes?
Like idk what if the written language is too different to read and they don't use Basic because they're so isolated why would they? Or Lasan had a royal family, but maybe that's because the royals were exiled from Lira San which is now under a vastly different kind of government and everyone thinks royalty is weird? What if the Boosahn Keeraw is considered an "outdated" warrior philosophy by Lira San standards and being there is an awful reminder of being the last of his kind in a different way?
Just 👀👀👀 MUCH TO CONSIDER!
I’m Jules (they/he) and I’m an artist and writer that mainly lives in the Star Wars: Rebels fandom. I’m kinda shy but I love talking to people, so don’t ever be afraid to shoot me an ask or a dm!

some more fun stuff under the cut 👍
do you take art requests? I do! I’m very slow at drawing so be patient with me
what do you use to draw? An old iPad and procreate, and occasionally alcohol and acrylic markers.
when is the Rainbow Connection video coming? Give me like a week or so to learn the banjo. At latest it will come the first of April.
why did you give such a long timeframe for the Kermit post to reach 10k? My blog had about three hundred followers at the time of making that post, I genuinely didn’t think it would blow up like that.
hey, argue with me about how the Jedi are baby thieves / emotionally abusive / responsible for their own genocide. No, and fuck off. Anti-Jedi order blogs get blocked immediately.
can I write/draw something based off one of your posts/fics/art? Yes! That would be really cool :D
can I use your art as a background or pfp? Yes, but please ask first!
hey, you kinda look like the twink from Atlantis. Yeagh. who are your favorite rebels characters? Kallus and Zeb! They’re my beloved boys.
why do you use so many exclamation marks? I’m terrified of coming off as rude or mean 🫶
as a general rule: zionists, anti-theists, TERFS, and people who like to incite pointless discourse get blocked. I’m not interested in arguing with you about fictional pairings or whether you think my fave is problematic. I’m here to be stupid and have fun with my friends.
if you made it this far: my favorite color is green :D
