Your gateway to endless inspiration
So, my dad's been watching Asokha, and while I want watch it, I need to rewatch Rebels first. However, I have come to the realization that when they were making Chopper, I feel like they wanted to make him like R2 but more polite, but instead of politeness, they added a touch of teenage girl-ness
And it only makes me love him more
I feel like this is how the background characters view the main trio in tcw
The reason i find the concept of Thrawn and Ezra on a forced roadtrip through Deep Space so FUCKING funny is bc they belong in entirely different genres. Thrawn's like a morally grey magnificent bastard straight out of Game of Thrones while Ezra's basically a shonen anime protagonist. It would literally be like Tywin Lannister was forced to go on a life changing field trip with Ash Ketchum
I like you *gives you Ahsoka doodle and a loth cat*

Here are the notes for the symbolism (which I found deep within my notes app ajsjsjs):
Sabers; Above, going clockwise, is Yoda, Mace, Anakin, Dooku, Sidious, Ventress, Plo, and Obi-Wan.
Dooku, Ventress, and Sidious’ sabers being in front of her represent how the Jedi felt as if she was turning to the dark side, leaving them behind. Yoda, Mace, and Obi-Wan’s sabers are behind her, showing that she no longer trusts them the way she originally did (as well as the Jedi Order, as they are all on the council). Anakin’s and Plo’s sit beside her to show she has some faith in them— Anakin being her master and Plo being the one who found her. Yoda’s and Sidious’ sabers are also directly opposite to show the two sides of the war. Obi-Wan and Dooku are opposites showing that they were mentors to Anakin and Ventress. Ventress and Mace being opposites as Ahsoka feels almost bullied by Mace and going to Ventress for help.
Going clockwise shows how they lean in the spectrum of the force. Yoda being at the top to show loyalty to the light. Mace is next to Yoda, as he seemed to struggle with compassion. Anakin next, showing his dark tendencies and attachments, specifically to Ahsoka here. Anakin is above Dooku to foreshadow Anakin killing Dooku and continuing to follow the path to the dark side. Then Dooku, who was tricked and lied to, but still chose to be dark. Sidious being at the bottom, showing his loyalty to the dark side + the power that he gains from it. Ventress next, showing her incline to the light side after being betrayed. Plo next, noting his attachments, especially to Ahsoka. Then Obi-Wan, someone so close to Yoda, yet so far.
She holds one of her sabers, rather than her two, to represent how she felt truly alone, even when she had “help”.
Eat Your Young by Hozier is about how the older generation leaves the younger generation in a world worse off, which is why I attached it to this piece— to symbolize Ahsoka’s relationship with the Republic (run by Sidious, another reason why his saber is in front of her, showing that he was steps ahead to ensure her and all other Jedi’s demise), which used her as a child solider, and left her future looking bleak, as far as she knew. The sabers arranged as the Republic symbol also help represent that, as well as how the Jedi set her on this path.
I left out was Barris’ saber, despite her causing all of this. She was a big reason why Ahsoka left the order, as Barris ultimately betrayed her and showed the Jedi Order’s “true colors”; she left Ahsoka behind entirely. This is why it is absent.
The composition is tight and almost compact, as if the Republic symbol and lightsabers are going to consume her. This symbolizes both her and the Jedi Order’s incoming doom, as well as how it impacted her during and after the war. The angle is looking down on her, as if she is being belittled (also a call back to when she was being sentenced and everyone was above her, forcing her to look up and plead), but her eyes have a growing determination in them. This symbolizes how she was expected to fall and not survive, but did anyway, and continued to fight for what she thought was right.
I had thought of making it a gif, and having the glowing lights flicker from green to blue to white. As a way to show her progression from a Jedi, to a Citizen, to Fulcrum, but I decided that it didn’t fit the theme.
Reposting one of my favorite drawings that I made when I was active on instagram. I have the notes for all the visual symbolism I shoved in here somewhere (quite a bit, for sure), but I don't currently have it on me, nor do I care to go find it at the moment lmaoo.
Originally, Hozier's Eat Your Young was attached to the post and was part of the symbolism, as it had made me think of her (as many things do, since she's still one of my favorite Star Wars characters ever).
