steph.⠀ I guess I should do some cleaning up today and actually link completed starters under the calls so they're easy to find.🤡 (Although it appears as thought some accounts I've made starters for are just gone now? 🙁)

✦ ‍⁀ ‍ Jacen Solo ↬ Darth Caedus (🩶'ed for 𝔗𝔞'𝔞 ℭ𝔥𝔲𝔪𝔢) : ⠀Ta'a Chume is veilless, red-gold hair tamed in a crown and green eyes sparkling as she catches sight of the man who always clings to what he shouldn't. ⠀"Ah, Jedi Solo, waltzing in here for my granddaughter, I assume?"

steph.⠀ Happy Pride Month, lovelies. 🫰 I have a few bookmarked threads I need to respond to and I thankfully have two days off to do it.

⠀"You're the Queen Mother. Hapans never grow tired of the Ereneda." With a quick wink, Trista reaches over and pulls a thick blanket from the back of the royal salon couch, placing it around Tenel Ka's shoulders, staying mindful of the injury. ⠀"I'll sit with you for a bit."

⠀She admits to herself, proudly, that she's getting better with sayings, sarcasm, and even jokes. Her teachers were the best after all. ⠀"Just some nightmares." Tenel Ka is scared to elaborate, not wanting to bring up the fact that they were about Jacen. . . 𝗖𝗮𝗲𝗱𝘂𝘀.

⠀His grin widens, her aloof nature never failing to bring him joy. It is a much needed pick up for his mood, lifting some of the worry from his mind. "I do and I'm very grateful for that. It was a figure of speech, dear. You'd tell me if something is wrong, yes? Promise me. . ."

steph.⠀ The missing accounts for starters brings a certain type of sadness cuz these are all such obscure characters (on both sides) that missing out on threads with people is just 🥲.

steph.⠀ Rereading the Thrawn Trilogy is like being wrapped in a warm hug by an old friend.

steph.⠀ Do people just delete their accounts on this platform a lot? Since the last time I was able to do a couple of replies, people who have liked starters and other posts have just. . . vanished?

came to me in a vision

⠀"What do you plan to do about it?" ⠀Her question is straight and to-the-point. If what he says is true then there is little time for politeness. Tenel Ka almost adds a second inquiry, asking why he cares to help, but refrains, not wanting to waste time with details.

⠀"Oh? Are you certain?" ⠀She lights up dramatically at the prospect of 𝗧𝗵𝗲 Jacen Solo wanting an audience with her, but it is naturally for the theatrics, like many of her reactions and words. . . a skill from her younger days that she gained, honed, and perfected.

steph.⠀ I was on some of the boards but I only lurked. There were too many people for me to jump in. But trust me, every instance I saw someone refer to her wrong (ie "Tenel" or "Tenal Ka" or my other fave with Tahiri: "Tahari") I saw red.

steph.⠀ I need to catch up with responses and starters but I require coffee. ☕️

⠀It's nothing against Zekk, but Harravan has always kept walls around him in all situations, business and pleasure. Gotta learn how to sneak in somehow. ⠀"Depends on the occasion, I guess. Though not like these nerfherders. How kind of you to give me a chance, këurh'doro."

⠀"Yep, those were rough earlier." She scowls, thinking of the suitors. ⠀"And I'd have to think about it. . . but if I come up with something you might leave." Taryn's trying to keep a sly grin from slipping over her lips but failing. What can she say, he brings this out in her.

✦ ‍⁀ ‍ Jaina Solo (🩶'ed for 𝔗𝔞'𝔞 ℭ𝔥𝔲𝔪𝔢) : ⠀Garden parties are always her favorites. They give Ta'a Chume the view to s̶p̶y̶ keep an eye on everyone in attendance. . . something she doesn't like leaving to her guards. Her cool, jade gaze lands on a familiar face.

steph.⠀ Found some replies I never bookmarked like an ass of the dumb type so I'll hopefully be getting to those soon as well as my more recent ones (and other starters). . .

steph.⠀ The news about Drew Struzan's passing is so sad. His posters and book covers were always so iconic.

⠀A sharp scoff melts to a tired chuckle as she recognizes his banter right away. It's what she 𝗻𝗲𝗲𝗱𝘀 right now. Anything to keep her mind from what she sees when she sleeps. ⠀"You of all people should know I am just as mortal as the rest, friend Zekk, possibly even more."
