Fellas, is it gay to physically pick up your aide to protect him from blaster fire?
He's so trans to me.
Star Wars Rebels art I did, cross-posted from my other account. Close-ups below the cut.

okay so i just finished the first thrawn book right? and like all of it is making me feel insane and i am sure someone has pointed this out already but do you wanna know what makes me feel extra insane?
thrawn send eli away to protect him
like sure he also sends him away to help the chiss and so he could reach his full potential and bla bla but look - thrawn realizes very early that eli is a target as long as he's with him
and then that is proven over and over again throughout the book until it finally accumulates in this - pryce outright threatening thrawn right after she showed how incredibly ruthless she is
and then the very next scene is thrawn and eli talking about that very conversation, it's eli first acknowledging how dangerous pryce and the high command are and then confirming - even if he might not be fully aware himself - that he is loyal to thrawn not to the empire
which, let me remind you, comes after yularen just pointed a blaster at thrawn and accused him of treason
and i think that moment of eli pledging his allegiance to thrawn is the first time thrawn realizes both the depth of which he cares for eli and that he will be eli's downfall if he keeps him around
which then leads to him sending eli away to the chiss and this fucking devastating journal entry:
like for a moment i was confused bc it happend so fast without a goodbye, plus he offered it to nightswan first and it kinda felt like eli was just an afterthought but no oh fuck no
like nightswan thrawn would have send to help keep the chiss safe, to utilize his abilities to help them fight whatever enemies are lurking in the dark, but eli, oh no, thrawn never planned on sending eli away in the first place, not until he realized it was the only way he could keep him safe
and yeah eli will obv also be beneficial to the chiss, like ofc he will, he's smart as heck, but below all that is the simple fact that thrawn is doing all this empire shit to keep his people safe so even if the empire falls that is still the safest place for eli to be
and I'm just feeling very emo about that
Thrawn’s age is both a mystery for us and the crew of the Chimaera
Everyone on the Springhawk (and the rest of the ascendancy tbh) found Thrawn to be an anomaly. Because while he was extremely annoying, he was also very hot. But anytime someone asked Thrawn out (or propositioned ;) him), he always turned them down, sometimes politely sometimes not. Everyone eventually just came to the conclusion that Thrawn doesn't do romance.
Cut to twenty years later, a human shows up in the Ascendancy and introduces himself as Thrawn's husband and everyone loses their damn minds.
Because somehow Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo fucked off to the Empire, found some ridiculously attractive twink twenty years younger than him, married him and then sent him off to the Ascendancy for safe keeping.
Can’t stop thinking about them
Do you think Eli and Thrawn ever explored each others bodies
Guys, I just finished tales of the empire and I have words
(Warning spoilers)
1. WE GOT PELLAEON, THAT SLIMY OLD MAN, INSTEAD OF ELI VANTO!!! YOU’RE SHITTING ME!!!!
Ok seriously guys like no offense to Pellaeon fans but like come on I wanted Eli. Where is space cowboy? Where is my beloved aid?
2. Adding on that, Thrawn in clone wars animation was amazing and very fun (they did add in those little things above his eyes after all) I was very happy to see my silly little blue man.
3. Barriss is now my queen?
I guess I’m now devoting my life and soul her. Like they did not have to go that hard with the animation but they did and I’m so glad (she’s so pretty!)
4. Barriss got back in contact with Ahsoka!!!!!!!!!! I’m so happy about it!!! She met her old friend again and maybe they did little Jedi things or missions together, also I really want to know how their reunion went (also I kinda ship barrissoka so I’m living life right now)
That concludes my initial thoughts on the matter, though there will probably be more later, enjoy ;)
Also may the fourth be with you!!!!!
Tales of the empire comes out in four days. If we don’t get even a glimpse of Eli I’m going to go insane and chew off my own fingers. Seeing him in clone wars animation (or just a show in general) is no longer a want, it’s a need.
Two of some of my favorite SW characters of all time! Ahsoka and Omega....just need to add for sure Grogu as he’s so beloved he’s like my child lol (I have about 3-5 absolute favorites but I think these three are my favorites).
The Song of Twin Suns Chapter Eight
Ahsoka and Omega find themselves in the middle of the Second Sister’s attack once again.
Determined to protect Vah'nya, Quinlan Vos pulls her from the scene to safety, but concerns about Sacher’s status are taking a turn towards darkness.

Truth all✨✨✨
now that i am reading the thrawn: ascendancy books and seeing how fucking similar thrawn and eli are in some aspects - like scenes that are nearly mirrored down to the word - i love the thought of eli thinking he and thrawn have nothing in common, or that he could never be like him, bc he always just sees himself running after thrawn, just to come to the ascendancy and have everyone he meets be like “oh my fucking god there are two of you fuckers”
I’m sure that sith Santa is cool but come on, ITS THRAWN!!
I’m excited for the all the new Star Wars shows, but I feel like we’re missing out if we never get a buddy-cop show of Thrawn and Ezra in the Unknown Regions.
They both worked until well after midnight and fell asleep on top of each other. ｡･:*˚:✧｡
I have no idea why I found this so hilarious 😂😂😂
I love that height difference 👌
Once i got Thrawn done, we of course need Eli too! I call this one: „I want to go home“
I believe we all miss Eli. Our poor boy
you guys are a very nice community btw!💙
hey there!! THRANTOBER incoming?? i haven't finished making the prompts list yet, let me know in the comments if you have ideas
I have a hankering for Thranto.
I've heard some debate over which Family the skywalkers will choose. I haven't heard much over the possibility of Vah'nya losing Third Sight, but imagine if she did. Whose Family would she choose? Ar'alani's former Family the Irizi? Her (possible) father Thrawn's? To my knowledge there aren't any Chiss she's particularly close to.
But you know what would be sweet? If she took the Family of a very close friend, of someone who swore to protect her. It would be unconventional. It would cause an uproar in the Syndicure.
Imagine if she took the name Eli'vah'nya. Ivah.
Eli Vanto (reciting his script): I have been sent to warn you of the oncoming storm. The death of the Acendancy. The great evil that is coming your way. I come as a sign of good faith, I come at the bidding of Grand Admiral Mitth'raw'nuruodo. For proof I have his most prized journal.
Thurfian: ...you smell funny.
@tinylilmeowmeow inspired by this post
I don't really ship Thrawn with anyone. I enjoy him with Ar'alani, I think a relationship with Eli is beautiful, sometimes I even toy with the idea of him and Pryce, even Thalias. Any way it's tragic. But none of them I feel are a true fit. He doesn't strike me as the type to have a romantic partner at all, no matter how much I wish...
The Letter
Eli, my dearest friend,
It has been decades since our first meeting, and I feel I must thank you for the years that you have, for lack of better words, put up with my "krayt spit". I do not know if it was fate or merely luck that you were aboard that vessel that found me, though I have never believed in fate and one must not rely on luck, some star shined in my favor that day that it was you, Eli Vanto.
Through the years, you have never wavered. You have remained my closest confidant, and on occasion my savior. Though I am aware that you were bitter about the divert in your life track, your skills would have been throughly wasted as a supply officer. And I am pleased that you came to recognize that as well, in time. I would not have made it this far, neither in the Empire nor even back home to the Ascendancy without your help and guidance. I am a better man for your influence.
You have come far, my friend, look at yourself, a commodore in the Chiss Expansionary Defence Fleet. With many more promotions and honors to come, I have no doubts in you. You have learned much, and have become one of the greatest warriors I know. You are aware of what others are not, and have developed a skill for improvisation. A necessary tool for any commander.
Look after those who remain, instruct them in the ways of a warrior. Continue the work that we started and pass it on when you meet your own demise. Continue to live.
I leave you all that I have, my knowledge. I have added to the journal, utilize it. Do not mourn me, Eli Vanto, I am now with my brother.
May warrior's fortune smile upon you.
