some of y'all fundamentally misunderstand my favorite characters but im being sooooo normal and mature about it. i haven't even killed anyone yet

reblog this with a terrible description of your Blorbo. go

welcome to my blog!

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!

art tag

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

it’s 2028. trump is dead. elon is dead. zuckerberg is dead bezos is dead they’re all dead

I have moar questions for the OTP + CHARACTER ASK because I really wanna pick your brain (only if you want!!). So: 16, 18 and 19 C:

bestie, i love when people pick my brain.

16 - covers

This one is so straightforward to me. Zeb is covered in fur and rarely needs covers (until Hoth). Kallus has minimal fur and frequently feels like the chill never left him after Bahryn (this I think is why he's still wearing a quilted jacket on the humid rainforest that is Yavin IV). It's less that Kallus hogs the covers and more that Zeb gives them to him and then wraps around him too (until Hoth, when Zeb valiantly tries to steal some back, or at least cuddle close enough to Kal that they can reasonably share the covers).

18 - drunk

They're both big lads so I think they both have a pretty high tolerance for how much alcohol they can consume. Where they differ is Zeb still has a few stone on Kallus, so he can drink more without feeling it as much, but Kallus is also incredible at still appearing sober when he's deep into his cups. Kal started drinking early and his time rising through ISB meant he got really good at lying, so if you aren't super close with him you may not even realize the glass in front of him is number 4 and not him still nursing the first one. But those who are close to him, namely Zeb but the rest of the Ghost crew too, can pick up on little tells. He laughs a bit more freely, he's even snarkier than usual, sometimes he gets flushed. Because he's an adult, he knows not to get into the rowdy shenanigans he used to as a teen, but sometimes there's a glint in his eye and he gets tempted to pickpocket or climb the side of the temple or drag Zeb to dance with him (see: makeout on the dance floor). If he's playing sabacc, though, he lets his opponents think he's way more drunk than he is and swindles them out of their credits.

Zeb gets more outgoing and gregarious, which is a freedom that comes with joining the Rebellion and having a relatively safe home base. Every time he's drunk he makes new friends, and for a lot of those new friends it's the first time they see Zeb as someone who's approachable and not scary. He's relaxed and has his arms draped over the back of the booth, but when the mood strikes him he can get rowdy and wrastle with people. He never starts a fight though.

The two of them drinking together is honestly not much different than them relaxing at other times. They're old men (by Rebellion nightlife standards); they aren't trying to give themselves hangovers tomorrow. But they will sit shoulder-to-shoulder for an entire night, having quiet side conversations and making the rest of their table think they're already together when neither of them has as much as thought about it.

When only one has been drinking, both have been known to fireman carry the other back to their bunk.

19 - fights

Before they're together, it's really small stuff mostly (I know you used my repair kit, now where did you karking put it), but sometimes it's really big stuff, along the lines of who is allowed to forgive whom and for what. Kallus doesn't feel worthy of Zeb's forgiveness for Lasan; Zeb doesn't feel worthy of Kallus' forgiveness for not getting him off the Chimaera sooner. But they work through it. They talk to each other, even if they go in circles for a while, and they trust each other.

They're later fights are even more hypocritical. They always yell at each other when there was a close call or when one of them did something reckless, even though they both know they would've done the same thing if it meant saving the rest of the ship or not sacrificing the mission. Oooohhh but these can be knock down drag out fights. They say horrible things to each other because they know each other so well and know their pressure points, then immediately regret it. These fights don't happen often, but they require a cool-off period. Zeb stays with Hera, Kallus stays with Cassian or Sabine if she has her own quarters. But even after a fight like this, they still can talk it out and repair it.

On Lira San, the fights go back to "where did you put the damn vegetable peeler."

Was tagged to do this by @lacyberpatate so here we go !

And I'll tag @heart-0f-a-rebel16 🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Re: OTP ask game

For Kalluzeb, 20, 24, and 35!!

ooooo these are interesting ones

20

Kal. Absolutely Zeb walks onto the Ghost one day and sees Kallus seated on the floor with a tiny Loth kitten in his lap. For some reason they're both soaking wet. Zeb, begrudgingly, allows this. Although tbh, I also love the idea of Kallus being really good with droids, and so it's more likely that this scenario plays out with Kal and an MSE droid (which Zeb is even less pleased about).

24

Logistically, most of the time Zeb is the big spoon and Kallus is little spoon. Ship bunks aren't that big. And again I say to you, Kallus has always been one of the biggest in the room and he loves to just feel held sometimes. HOWEVER, I love the idea of Kallus getting to be big spoon when he's feeling a bit possessive or Zeb's just gotten back from a long mission or he just wants to make sure Zeb's close to him after a critical loss. Zeb seems super big, but he and Kal are actually close enough in build that either way will work; it depends on what they're both feeling like that day.

35

heheeee, cameoliob, your Kallus headcanons are gonna play into this one. Kallus will listen to nearly anything, but his favorites are like the Coruscant equivalent of 90s/00s rap. Ezra, tongue-in-cheek, asks Kallus what he thought of the Super Bowl and Kallus has a TED talk prepared on Kendrick's halftime show. Kallus stood and applauded while watching the space-grammys when Doechii won. Academy-era Kallus went to see Coruscant's BROCKHAMPTON and tried really hard to get Jovan to like MFDOOM. He and Sabine bond over Noname. On Karaoke nights, 8/10 chance that Kallus chooses Watzky (because he knows not to choose NWA, but he knows all the words to their songs too). If Kallus has headphones on and it isn't translation audio, this is what he's listening to.

Zeb likes dad rock. Zeb likes yacht rock. Zeb listens to the Eagles and Pink Floyd (and sometimes Kenny Loggins while he's making waffles for the crew).

Ou i was just talking to someone about this so the thoughts r fresh

(Also ignore any typos, if u see something spelled wrong NO YOU DIDNT)

I think that, for me personally (not dogging on any HCs that arent this, headcannon whatever floats your boat!!), their relationship would be healthiest if it kind of happened on accident

And im not talking the "heat of the moment, we just stumbled into bed together and woah now we're in love" type of thing, I'm talking the kind of slowburn in which they very slowly over the course of Yavin to Hoth, end up falling into this cycle of domesticity without even realizing it

I think that they would be, understandably, weird and akward around each other on Yavin. They are both well aware of their history, and they dont know how to approach it now that they're working on the same side.

But if Kallus just KEEPS getting assigned to the Ghost Crew for missions, Zeb would be forced to see all the ways in which Kallus is changing as he slowly breaks down his Imp persona. From that point I think that it would be a lot easier for them to become friends.

But even after they become friends, i dont think there would be feeling there yet, because heres the thing: it would take TIME for Zeb to truly process in order to forgive and befriend Kallus, and it would take even more time for Kallus to transform into a person that Zeb could fall in LOVE with. And on the Kallus side of things, he is working through deconstructing every aspect of who he has been for the past 18 years whilst doing his darndest to contribute to the Rebellion. I personally think that he's be both far too busy and far too emotionally immature to even foster those feelings for Zeb in the first place.

Either way, post Lothal Liberation, I think they'd become closer as Kallus helps out around the Ghost in the ways he can while Sabine, Hera, and Zeb struggle through their grief. I think that this era would be a time when Zeb would have to be a real rock and place of comfort for Sabine and Hera, and even though he knows that they are equally there for him, Sabine is still young and shouldnt have to deal with more grief than she already is, and Hera? She just lost her psudo-husband and is now finding how that shes PREGNANT WITH KANANS CHILD???? WHIKST LEADING A REBELLION??? Thats emotionally DEVASTATING, Zebs not going to cry on her shoulder, she has enough going on. And I mean, theres Rex, but he's kind of removed from it all-- he's seen so many of his brothers die in combat that Kanan and Ezra (although he's not dead, just lost) were not the first and he knows that they will not be the last.

So that leaves Kallus, who, at this point in their friendship, I think would be very willing to be a shoulder for Zeb to cry on. And I think that this emotional vulnerability would kind of cement their friendship as something very real and very close.

After the destruction of the Death Star, the Rebellion moves to Mako-Ta docking station, and as far as housing recruits goes, theyre somewhat limited to the large transports that they have in their possesion, which-- compared to the empire-- is not a lot. Also, atp, the Rebellion is getting a MASSIIVEEEEE surge of new recruits, the Destruction of the Death Star let the people of the galaxy know that the Rebellion had a chance, and that probably inspired a lot of people to join.

All this to say, freeing up space on those cruisers by bunking people together in groups of 3-4 OR on ships with crews, would be of utmost priority.

So... if Kallus is already working closely with the Ghost Crew... he LITERALLY helped LIBERATE LOTHAL.... He and Sabine get along, but WAY MORE IMPORTANTLY, he and ZEB arent just friends, theyre BEST friends............. why would Hera not offer him a spot on the Ghost if those cruisers NEED THE SPACE.....????

So begins-- in my brain-- the start of the "Kallus is apart of the Ghost Crew" agenda, and its during this era that Kallus and Zeb begin the slow slide into domesticity.

Because heres the thing, they are both VERY smart, and if they really thought about it at this point in time, they would probably both agree that a relationship between them would have A LOT of potential for getting messy quick and taking a nose dive south.

But if they dont really think about it.... and if they end up idk... spending their evenings together plahing holochess, or making a cup of caf for one another in the morning, or if they end up kind of just falling asleep on one another during family movie night-- not because they WANT a relationship, but just because they care so deeply about one another, even if they dont have a label for what that caring means, or what it even is, or WHY it even is, yk?

And I think that, eventually, they'd reach a point (probably during the Hoth era or shortly after) where Hera would tell them that they need to really think about what was happening in between them. Hera made the mistake of not saying anything because she thought that she and Kanan would have more time. She thought that being in a war was a reason NOT to acknowledge things for what they were. She wouldn't want these two to make that same mistake.

And from there I think that they'd talk about it. And it would be kinda awkard, and theyre sort of worried about the whole thing, but if they're already in a dynamic where theyre basically already ACCIDENTALLY together???? Its kind of like... "well, fuck it, we're already in it, lets see what happens ig. If we ended up in a relationship accidentally, idk maybe we could do it on purpose"

Anyways thats just a whole lot of yapping all to say that I think that they end up accidentally being the Kanera of Hoth and that their relationship is far more realistic, and healthy, if its more of a slowburn yk?

Actually, I'm so feral over the fact that Zeb and Kallus are very much implied to be slow burn. Through S4 we don't get a lot of implication of them being particularly close 'till the epilogue and in the one comic with Kallus that takes place post defection Zeb isn't mentioned. They don't leave for Lira San 'til the war ended - approximately five years after the liberation of Lothal. This, to me at least, implies that while Zeb and Kallus built a sense of common ground and respect, it wasn't an instant attraction that immediately developed into more. It most likely took years for them to develop the groundwork for a friendship and it's possible that they hadn't even gotten together yet by the time they made it to Lira San. Honestly I think it's kind of cute to think that they worked hard to establish a friendship and even so it didn't happen 'til Zeb initiated it quite a while after Kallus defected, only doing so after seeing how much Kallus had changed and made an effort to do better and help people.

I honestly think feelings might've developed between them earlier than either of them were ready for. Kallus definitely wouldn't want to push those feelings onto Zeb unprompted and only admit to them if Zeb was to bring it up, but I think initially Kallus would definitely feel uncomfortable with the idea and I definitely think Zeb would agree with him on those feelings and they'd agree to just remain friends for the time being.

I could definitely imagine Lira San being the turning point in their relationship. While Kallus has obviously grown to be a better person there was definitely still a subconscious part of Zeb that didn't entirely trust him to be truly accepting of all Lasats - what if Zeb was just an exception? Seeing Kallus show respect, repentance and love towards the people and culture of Lira San might be the piece of closure Zeb didn't realize he needed. Likewise, Kallus needed to face the people and culture he almost destroyed. He needed to truly understand the extent of the damage he had caused, but not just to feel guilt, but to learn to have a greater appreciation and love for the people he once hated.

I think the implication of the epilogue is that Zeb didn't really tell Kallus about Lira San 'til the war was over. Which implicates that it took them a long while to built up that level of trust - understandably so

And idk, it kinda makes me love them more? Like their love didn't just happen outside of their control. It was a conscious choice and required huge efforts from both of them

Just to make a point, every time I finished a panel of this I would export it as a PNG on the perceptual setting and use it as a color reference for the next panel

IT'S BAD

PLEASE CHECK YOUR COLOR SETTINGS

EDIT: If you're still having problems, it might help to switch from "Save/Save as" to "Export (as a) Single Layer". Just. Make SURE the box labeled "Expression Color" is set to RGB. I've been messing with this all day, and it looks like this combination of settings will allow exported PNGs to maintain their colors perfectly. To you. So far both Discord and Toyhouse still only display desaturated images and I cannot for the life of me figure out why

Not “Only my reading of canon is correct” or “Interpretations are subjective and all valid” but a secret third thing, “More than one interpretation can be valid but there’s a reason your English teacher had you cite quotes and examples in your papers, you have to have a strong argument that your interpretation is actually supported by the text or it is just wrong and I’m fine with telling you it’s wrong, actually.”

blorbo thoughts

Consider. Kallus overworking himself and not eating not because he feels unworthy or the need to be useful. But he has adhd and without the structure the Empire had he’s got no idea what time it is and won’t realize until 5pm that he forgot to eat all day.

type prevs url with your eyes closed in the tags

im mutual

I love seeing tags on AO3 like "autistic Kallus" 'cause if you characterize him after canon there really isn't a difference. That man is so autism coded

OC artists when they have gotten 10 notes in the last week and they see art of the most mediocre white male popular character gaining thousands of notes in half an hour

nothing in the world makes me more evil than just being kind of annoyed

I feel like Kallus is the type of guy to accidentally walk in on Zeb making out with him guy and feel utterly sick with disgust. Upon which he immediately panics that he might be homophobic, but actually he's just experiencing jealousy for the first time zgxgx

Part one of quotes from Andor that hit a bit too hard:

”The pace of repression outstrips our ability to understand it. And that’s the real trick of the imperial thought machine. It’s easier to hide behind 40 atrocities than a single incident.”

- Karis Nemik

Sometimes I wonder how the whole concept of Kallus growing up on Coruscant’s lower levels got started. What genius was the first to start that. And can I kiss them on the mouth.

I like to think that Kallus' behavior post redemption does a full 360°. Hear me out- as he becomes more comfortable being allowed to show "weakness" in form of empathy and general emotions he starts to have a softer approach to social interactions, especially with the Ghost Crew. But as he gains their trust more and they all grow more comfortable with him being around + he becomes more comfortable being around and not constantly feeling like an imposter, he starts to behave in a way that some might mistake for an emotional set-back. He's less gentle with his responses, making snide remarks here and there in addition to getting into a verbal spat with someone from the Ghost Crew every five minutes.

The thing is, at his core, Kallus is soft, gentle and caring - he is however also a bitch who will gloat when he wins an argument, be super petty during family game nights and laugh with genuine amusement when his loved ones do something - frankly - really fucking stupid.

do u ever see someone elses headcannon for ur fave character and its like….. i completely respect that u have the right to that headcannon, i will not confront u at all and start needless bullshit over that headcannon…. but i will silently sit here and give you the sideways glance of the century

constantly switching between “this is MY tumblr and i post whatever i want” and “oghg  god . oh my god. okh god. okay. im going to talk abt. an interest now. im so sorry.”

Okay i SWEAR im not glazing on Jensen Ackles as Kallus but uh

I have to confess

I think he could do the voice if he really tried

it will never not be funny that kallus spent one (1) night with zeb and decided to say fuck the empire so he could be gay in peace with his furry rebel boyfriend
