Don't feel sorry. I'm a Thurfian apologist and a Thrawn apologist at the same time, so it's fun.
The thing is, Thurfian is the character that is mostly always right, he does it for the Ascendancy and see Thrawn for the actual menace that he his, but he has a hard time proving because Thrawn is a prodigy that always get away with everything (until he doesn't).
I bet he gained white hair early thanks to our dear Grand Admiral.
I actually ask myself if I shouldn't write for him from time to time, but the fandom for the Ascandancy trilogy is really niche.
You absolutely should write for him, the fandom is niche, but those who are here are like parasites and we need to feed. Plus I've been looking for good Thurfian fics.
One of the things that fascinates me about the Thrawn trilogies is that he always has a mirror. During the Empire Era it's Pryce and to a certain extent Krennic, even Tarkin from a certain point of view. In the Acendancy Era it was supposed to be Thrass, but his time was cut short (š). Thalias tried to fill the role, but his mirror shouldn't agree with him. Thurfian is a prodigy of his own right. He does not have the strategic skills of Thrawn when it comes to the battlefield, but when it comes to matters of the court there is no one that you would be in better hands with. Whether you like it or not.
I believe is that Thurfian is just as much of a menace as Thrawn. Thrawn cannot possibly see the devastation that his actions take on the Acendancy from within, but Thurfian cannot see the affects of his inaction from without.
And yes, Thurfian isn't that old, he just has permanent stress lines.

HELP ME FIGURE THIS OUT!
For a long time my tag for most sites has been Aroa'yr Shuk, and I've run into a little problem.
I was trying to remember what it meant as I only have a slight memory of making it, I know for a fact that shuk means tear, but I can't find the meaning of aroa'yr, I know that I didn't make it up (if I had it would of been closer to "aroy'a") but I also can't find any proof of that the word exists beyond a thing on swgoh.gg called "Imperio Mandaloriano Aroa'yr" so I know that the word at least exists.
And I put it through Google Translate and it's not a real life language.
So can someone tell me if I just made this up? If Mando'a has changed? If it's from another Star Wars language?
Please help me...
love how movies Kit Fisto was this funky alien-looking guy.
and then the animators said what if we made him into a sex icon
Little reminder:
Port - left
Starboard - right
Zenith - up (away from planet)
Nadir - down (toward planet)
Bonus!
Prograde - west to east (spins in same direction as its orbit)
Retrograde - east to west (spins in opposite direction as its orbit)
Hope this helps someone!
So, I'm rewatching The Clone Wars and.....it is much more depressing the second time around.

In this moment I live for an Obi-Wan and Maul friendship.
Imagine them as Padawans, both quick to anger and learning how to control their more violent urges.
Imagine Maul as Mace Windu's Padawan and Obi-Wan was Qui-Gon Jinn's.
Imagine Obi-Wan being 3 years Maul's senior.
Imagine Maul's slight distrust of of Obi-Wan due to Qui-Gon's rocky relationship with the Jedi Code and Mace's steadfast belief in the rules.
Imagine the first time they sparred together.
Imagine them both tossing their lightsabers and resorting to fists.
Imagine them training and meditating with one another to control their anger.
Imagine them becoming friends.
Imagine them years later in the Clone Wars.
Imagine Maul being respectful towards everyone, including his enemies.
But still calling Obi-Wan "rat-boy."
Imagine them both as Jedi Masters.
Imagine Maul teasing Obi-Wan about Satine.
Imagine Obi-Wan trying to set Maul up with Ventress.
Imagine them sparring as adults.
Imagine them throwing away their lightsabers and resorting to fists.
Imagine Obi-Wan pulling on Maul's horns.
Imagine Maul wishing Obi-Wan still had long hair to pull back.
Ok I want to say something controversial
But you are responsible for your own safe spaces. You can block tags, block words, block people.
āBut i thought fandom was supposed to be a safe spaceā āyeah you have to curate it.
Unfortunately one personsās safe space may be another personsā trigger. Thatās ok. Simply block them, block the tag, block the word etc. They can do the same for you.
Maybe Iām just out of touch, but Iāve been around since the days of ādonāt like, donāt readā and thatās a good philosophy. If it squicks you, scroll past. If it causes you anxiety or upset, block! Plenty of people are responsive if you ask them to tag an upsetting trigger. And if theyāre dicks about it, block em.
How do you think Thrawn would be as a dad?
Hmmmmmmm... Good question.
He would be protective, it's a given. But I think he would have difficulty to show affection or to create a bound between him and his children. He loves them, obviously, he love them so much but he wouldn't know how to show it? Especially if they are younger kids.
Or rather he would show it in ways that are obvious to him, but not others. Like I wrote in this fic, he's definitively on the spectrum and what would be seen by a simple drawing session by his children is a deep mine of information for him. It is his way of showing that he deeply cares, that he loves, but it's not obvious for them.
They don't feel neglected, he's alway's around to help with everything and anything, they don't feel unloved, they just feel misenderstood? They craves kisses and hugs but it doesn't come naturally to him who is more reserved. He won't reject them if they come asking, he's happy to oblige, but it rarely comes from him either.
As they grow older they understand that they are so much way to love someone, and because their father didn't love as they wanted or expected doesn't mean he didn't love at all. He loved them by nurturing their artsy side, he loved them by teaching them everyday, he loved them by caring everyday.
He simply loved them.
PLEASE!?
i know hes not gonna be there but what if...... eli vanto in ahsoka show......... what if just......... what if wh
