That coffee probably tastes absolutely god awful (taking any plant-based ingredients into consideration), but lord knows he needs it if hes making it through the day
Hey, I like your Abel and Cain art. Top tier~

Thank you!
That actually means a whole lot to me right now because I've been getting more and more insecure about my art lately
Which, kinda sucks because drawing is my main way of keeping myself in a semi-okay state lmao

The most destructive leash child


has anyone done this yet
the difference between canon clef and fanon clef is that canon clef would own one of those "two seater" graphic tees and fanon clef goes to pride month with a toothpaste gay flag

Foundation let him go pester 682
Pretty big mistake
Ngl I would tuck Abel into bed and give him goodnight kiss

I cannot guarantee that you won't end up getting punched in the throat if you try to kiss him whatsoever, but hey! You're welcome to try if you're quick enough!
Here, I'll offer you this,
If you can manage to do that and NOT die, we'll let you take care of another, less hazardous anomaly!
As long as those care duties would not be hindered if performed by an amputee, deal?

Junior (2024)
A colorful pet portrait of a brown tabby cat named Junior in bright rainbow colors. In the original reference photo, he was laying on a white sheepskin blanket. I changed it up a bit and decided to make it look like he was sleeping on multicolored clouds! Acrylics on 12" x 16" stretched canvas.

Il y a pas longtemps j'ai fait se dessin AB-leshal (Abel scp076 2) avec les deavas et le roi Scarlett
I coloured it

A young Wizard’s best friend.
on the timing of the great galactic war
Why didn’t the Reconstituted Sith Empire invade the Galactic Republic sooner? We are told that the Sith persuaded Mandalore the Ultimate that the Republic was weak, using him as a catspaw to test for vulnerabilities. That gambit exposed a plethora of weaknesses, with the Republic and Jedi stumbling from inaction to near defeat by a smaller power to civil war to precarious economic fragility. Yet, the Sith Empire took advantage of none of these catastrophes. Why?
The first decade of the Mandalorians’ campaigning is wildly successful, exposing how weak and hamstrung by corruption the Republic is. Even though the Galactic Republic usually punches below its weight militarily relative to the size of its economy and population, like the Mandalorians can be counted on to punch well above theirs, they put on a far worse showing than they did during the Exar Kun War and the Great Hyperspace War.
There are what look like a string of excellent opportunities for the Sith Empire to take advantage of. The Empire could have entered the Mandalorian Wars as Mandalore the Ultimate’s allies when he reached the boundaries of Republic space. The Empire could have waited until Revan was declared dead during the Jedi Civil War to launch their offensive. Even after the Jedi Exile’s victory over Darth Nilhus, the Republic’s economy was in such a fragile state after more than a decade of war it would have been ill prepared to fight another.
Yet, the Sith Empire waits another three-hundred years, until after those windows of opportunity closed. Instead, they carefully infiltrate the Republic and the neutral systems between their boarders to manufacture a new opening. That is very strange behaviour, considering that tipping over that calamitous row of dominoes by egging on Mandalore the Ultimate was intentional, but I do have a couple of ideas that might help explain the stalling.
A) Vitiate had no genuine interest in going to war with the Republic or Jedi during this period. While I believe that the Reconstituted Sith Empire spent the entirety of its millennia of isolation legally at war with the Republic (as there was no surrender and no peace treaty from the Sith’s perspective the Great Hyperspace War only ended with the Treaty of Coruscant; the Battle of Korriban marked a renewal of hostilities rather than a new war), I’m not convinced that Vitiate actually intended to go back and invade the Republic when he led his fleet into exile. Forever war is a convenient status quo for him politically. Anything threatening his grip over the Empire can be denounced as undermining the war effort; keeping the Republic in the front of people’s minds helps distract them from the Empire’s domestic problems. Vitiate might well have felt that he had nothing to gain from following through on his promises that the Empire would one day liberate Korriban.
But even autocratic emperors can be made to bend under political pressure. Vitiate has been pontificating about vengeance and retaking Korriban Most Holy for centuries. Once the Sith and other Imperials believe that the Empire is strong enough to invade the Republic, an overwhelming expectation that plans to do so will be made is placed on Vitiate. He must at least pretend to be considering the question of renewing the war or his leadership will be undermined. Pointing the Mandalorians at the Republic is a way of doing that – the much larger Republic will bat them away, and that will settle the issue because it is still too strong for the Empire to face openly. Only the Mandalorians keep winning and the Republic and Jedi Order are a mess, but the Sith Empire isn’t properly mobilised for war because the plan wasn’t meant to work.
B) The Sith looked out through the darkness to Republic space, saw Darth Nihlus, and went nope. Kreia implies to the Jedi Exile that she has seen a terrible evil beyond the Outer-Rim where the True Sith reign. I get the impression that what she was perceiving must have been Vitiate in particular rather than the Sith Empire in general, because Kreia’s standards for unacceptable badness are so high that the Sith Empire in general seems unlikely to exceed them. If Kreia could look towards the Sith Empire and see the monster sitting at its heart, then logically the Sith could look towards the Republic and see the monster prowling around its edges.
Given that Nihlus is so consumed by his hunger that attacking another power in order to sate it would be of no concern to him, and that he can latch onto Force-adapts present on a planet to eat the entire planet, Nihlus represents a terrible threat to the Empire. This is a guy who might be able to straight up take a chunk out of Vitiate. If the Sith try invading while Nilhus’ is still active they will run directly into him because he will be drawn to them as he is to the Jedi. Worse, he will follow them back to the Empire.
If this mad dark Jedi will eat all the non-dark Jedi, the Republic, and then himself, isn’t it more efficient just to let him? If Nihlus chews his way inward all the way to Coruscant, why not leave him to do the Imperial military’s job for them? It’s not that the Sith are shying away from conflict, oh no, they’re just … showing a prudent concern for the budget.
C) Revan (and maybe the Jedi Exile) cause or exacerbate enough problems within the Sith Empire to undermine the Empire’s ability to launch a major invasion. If Drew Karpyshyn wanted me to consider Revan (2011) canon, he should have written a better novel. His Revan and Exile are neither competent nor compelling and the “Revan and Malak invaded the Republic because they were mind controlled by the Sith Emperor (then threw off the brainwashing but continued invading because why should anything these characters do make sense?)” retcon is illogical. However, the plot made by Darth Nyriss and other members of the Dark Council to kill Vitiate upon their discovery that he was responsible for the destruction of the planet Medriaas is plausible. Such a conspiracy might have been willing to work with Revan, the great strategic mind, and the Exile, who undid Nihlus Lord of Hunger, to kill Vitiate. Having those two pop up in the Empire at the same time a significant portion of the Dark Council turned on him would have been difficult for Vitiate to deal with.
Even though these efforts to prevent the Empire invading the Republic and to kill Vitiate ultimately failed, they could have led to a period of political instability that stymied the Empire’s ability to invade. Because the Sith Empire is smaller than the Galactic Republic and because they can control the timing of the eventual war so long as they maintain their secrecy, they have the incentive to wait until they believe the deck is stacked in their favour. Because Vitiate doesn’t truly care anything but himself and his ego, his greatest priorities are going to revolve around trying to ensure the Empire at large doesn’t learn the truth about what happened to Medriaas.
I also think Vitiate’s change in behaviour after this time – turning his attention away from the Sith to found a new empire on Zakuul, actually going through with invading the Republic – makes more sense if there was an ideological rebellion against him. Not a mere “I’m going to overthrow you because I want to be Emperor” attempted coup, but an actual “You suck and if none of us gets to be Emperor after you because we all die it still will have been worth it to kill you” insurrection.
My inclination is to say all of the above, though if anyone has alternate theories I’d be interested in hearing about them. It’s such a long overall window of opportunity that it feels like any single factor couldn’t be enough to cover it.
I think the greatest contributors to the timing of the Great Galactic Wars are the length of time it took for the Reconstituted Sith Empire to grow big enough to successfully invade the Republic, and the Sith Emperor being a wannabe charlatan whose political legitimacy is built upon a lie. Vitiate’s an incredibly powerful Sith – and that power does help him present as a worthy ruler because power is one of the qualities Sith value in a leader – but that’s not the basis of his claim on the title of Sith Emperor. His right to be Emperor is dependent on his status as the Empire’s protector; that he developed a plan that could have shielded the Old Empire from the Republic’s counter-invasion if only the Republic hadn’t thwarted him by destroying Medriaas, that he saved the Sith by leading to the safety of exile on Dromund Kaas, that the Empire needs him because he will be its greatest defence when it inevitably comes into conflict with the Republic and the Jedi.
All the rulers who have sought to unite the Sith worlds under them exist in the shadow of King Adas. Adas who saved his people by uniting them to hold off the Infinite Empire – who led a single planet to victory against the Rakata who controlled hundreds of worlds, dying in the final battle. Vitiate – who betrayed his people, who fled the war with the Republic, who would destroy the galaxy piece by piece to extend his own life – fails so fundamentally at living up to Adas’ mythic archetype he’s practically its inversion.
To me, Vitiate is interesting as a political figure while being deeply boring as a person because his main, maybe even his only, driving motivation is his desire for respect and adulation. It’s relatable in a way. We all want to be liked and respected, to have people think our ideas are good ideas and our opinions are correct opinions. Many people dream of fame and even those who don’t might like to have an achievement or creation feted without their presence, to sit anonymously in the shadows basking in the glow of I did that. But people are rarely so shallow as to be completely consumed by that desire. This is the reason Vitiate lies. He wants the Sith to believe he has equalled and surpassed Adas’ legacy, he wants the player character to believe he has a rich inner life, he wants to forge a new identity that the whole galaxy will adore as much as Zakuul does “Valkorian”.
Why does Vitiate not invade the Republic? Because he doesn’t feel it is to his benefit. Why does Vitiate invade the Republic? Because he resents the Sith Empire for his realisation that only his false face is adored – that the Empire will never accept him if the truth of his actions becomes known. Because he plans to burn the Galactic Republic and Sith Empire together while he reaps the benefits from shining Zakuul which has yet to bruise his ego.
An interesting result of me trying to create a mega-headcanon that ties the Ronin novel, Legends old republic stuff, and the new EU is that the Sith of the Sith Empire proper (so not Qel Droma, Exar Kun, Revan, and their respective posses) literally have no idea what the fuck the Dark Side is until the Great Galactic War. The concept of the Light Side and Dark Side were invented in the aftermath of the Great Hyperspace War. The entire time in the Unknown Regions the Sith Order has been using the black current and white flare system, just emotions are how you connect to the Force "correctly". They adopt the Light Side/Dark Side system once they come into contact with the Jedi Order, but during the time of SWTOR they use both systems. The Sith Inquistor specializes in the black current and the Sith Warrior specializes in the white flare (and Sith sorceries are a secret third thing). This dual system doesn't go away until the Rule of Two.
This enhances the resulting themes of the fusion, that the war between the Sith Empire and Coru Republic (becomes Galactic Republic with the Russan Reformation) is a Jedi Order that has since redeemed itself having to fight the sins of their past returned, holding onto an "antiquated system".
the mandalorian wars went like this:
mandalore the ultimate is campaigning for the survival of his culture. he's also feeling the sting of his predecessor having shared both a bed and a failed military campaign with ulic qel-droma (and/or exar kun depending on who you ask). the ultimate mandalore decides his people will have a good fight on their own terms.
phase 1: testing the stars
it starts with the outer rim--planets outside republic or sith jurisdiction. planets they can sharpen their claws against. survivors slip through the cracks of course--a cathar family here, a crime syndicate there--but these fearful calls are easily dismissed, ignored, smothered by a galaxy still in recovery. does killing a sentient count as verd'goten? did they fight back, in the end?
phase 2: settled scores
it's a slow movement towards the mid-rim. so many worlds that resisted mandalorian occupation must now contend with the fact that occupation is no longer an option. when they strike, they do so not simply to provoke the republic, but also to cut off the head of pointless rebellion. distress calls finally come through, and when the first republic world feels mandalorian boots on its ground, the senate convenes to draft a response. after they let onderon fall and the neo-crusaders don't stop, the strategy of appeasement is reconsidered.
ten years, give or take. that's how much time the republic has to make up for. that's how long the mandalorians have slaughtered worlds while senators slept in their beds blissfully unaware and uncaring.
phase 3: the revanchist
the republic acts now, but the jedi do not, instead urging caution. the jedi are peacekeepers, not warriors, they admonish. there is a greater threat than war behind this, they warn. that of the dark side. but the jedi born outside of exar kun's war of betrayal know nothing of the grays of conflict. the mandalorian are a menace and they must be stopped, and if the council believes there is a greater threat then the newly formed republic mercy corps will find proof. make the council admit their wrongs. make the jedi and republic commit themselves wholeheartedly to halting the mandalorian crusaders.
they find dead worlds. they find genocide and enslavement. they find a righteous fury to add to their cause.
the heroes go to war.
phase 4: the star war
it ends with the outer rim--specifically with the fifth planet in the malachor system, inventively known as malachor v. it is beautiful, even with mandalorian ships blocking the moon and basilisk war droids on the ground. the republic mercy corps no longer exists because mercy cannot exist in war. war leaves only warriors and soldiers and the loyal dead in its wake. the war ends on their terms: one jedi destroys their culture while another destroys the planet. the power of a star, activated in the palm of a hand, and the story is forever changed.
the heroes never came back.
Why does darth algos have a clone? (Sorry if I'm bothering u, the lore sounds interesting)
Don’t worry I love talking about my ocs!! :)
My sith ocs kinda have theme revolving around failure and identity! They gain some form of longevity and achieve one of the ultimate goals of the sith: immortality (well not exactly but ill get into that!!) but all at the expense of a core part of their identity.
In fact their warped forms of immortality is heavy tied to their appearance


Darth Coalesce is able to extend her life dramatically though cybernetics. She eventually becomes an unrecognizable mesh of flesh and metal and is put out of her misery by her apprentice. Immortality was in reach but she would have had to exist in a pathetic and perpetually dying state where her cybernetics would need constant replacement.


Darth Farceur (Coalesce’s apprentice and Algos’ master) is able to attach his spirit to his face paint. Any sentient being wearing copied designs is opened to possession from Farceur. Farceur is mostly reliant on physical ability and his saber skills, so while he is able to live on through different hosts he is robbed of his power and skill. He only exists as long as someone remembers his cursed markings and Algos retaliates by attempting to destroy all evidence of his existence.


Algos is obsessed over achieving a more ideal form of immortality and experiments with building a new body though the force rather than cloning. This is bc the cloning process of force sensitives is unreliable and with the force to guide them they plan to build themselves up again and again (like a phoenix!). However when the time comes to renew the cycle he is unable to attach his spirit to the identical host body. BUT His will to survive is strong enough create an echo which continually renews this process whenever the balance of the force dips towards the darkside. Aka why a technically force born clone exists during the reemergence of the sith. So Algos 2.0 is just a guy who was meant to hold the spirit of a Sith but bc the spirit no longer exists they are no more than an empty sith urn. Perfect for Palpatine’s collection of useless sith artifacts!
Mandalorian Culture Master post part 2

The Myth of Wars and Ruin
The belief that Mandalorians solely focus on war in their culture is not quite true. They use war to strengthen themselves and hone their skills as warriors. War is a way of life, but family is what the clan protects firmly. The six acts of Mandalorian life are essential more so than war.
Many in the galaxy believe Mandalorians are animals and dangerous. This is due mostly to Exar Kun during the Great Sith war and the Mandalorian wars. Including the attack on the Jedi temple 300 years after Revan’s disappearance into the unknown regions. This accompanied by the many wars and victories Mandalroian’s completed being on the Sith side, the republic believed Mandalorian’s could never be trusted as allies or friends.
While war is a part of their culture, Mandalorians hold their family as their number one priority. Mandalorian spouses and children are fiercely protected and if anyone harms them any clan or tribe will kill whoever hurt them. This was seen with Boba Fett when he avenged his beloved wife Sintas after she was attacked by another Mandalorian (Boba Fett’s superior officer). This occurred during his time with her on Concord Dawn during the Imperial era.
Besides family and war, the Mandalorian’s hold the “Resol’nare” the Mandalorian guide, in the highest regard. These 6 pillars of Mandalorian Life and Culture have existed since the beginning with the Taung.
The 6 Tenants of Mandalorian Life are...
1 Speak the language
2 Wear the amour
3 Serve the clan
4 Rally when called by mandalor
5 Defend your children
6 Raise them as Mandalorian
