Too Sweet - a Jecki/Osha fanfiction
A/N: Hello everyone! After episode 5 aired this week I decided to write a little Modern AU about Jecki and Osha. It is extremely fluffy. Here is an extract and if you want to read the whole story you will find the link at the end!
Jecki pushed the scooter to the edge of the garage then called:
“Excuse me? I could use some help?”
She looked on either side of the car but could not spot any mechanic wearing a jumpsuit who could help her. Then, she heard wheels on the concrete floor and looked down. The mechanic was coming out of under the car. She was wearing a jumpsuit, but had wrapped the top around her waist. A dark green tank top freed her strong arms, with a little tattoo on the right one. They flexed as she rolled herself from under the car and Jecki could feel herself blushing.
“Hey, sorry,” the mechanic said. “Do you have an appointment?”
“Er… No… My scooter just broke down and Sol recommended I come here.”
The mechanic stood up and brushed her grease-stained hands on her pants. Jecki took the time to look at her once more. They were the same height. The mechanic had thin, ruddy colored dreadlocks. Her brown skin was stained with little dots of grease. Her dark eyes landed on Jecki and she smiled.
“You work for Sol?”
“How do you know?” Jecki replied, doing her best not to stutter as the mechanic continued to look at her.
“You’re wearing a ‘Master Sol’s Korean Noodle Bar’ shirt.”
Jecki looked down at herself. She had forgotten that she was dressed for work.
“Oh yeah…”
“I used to work there too, a few years ago.”
Jecki’s mouth fell open.
“You did?”
It certainly explained why Sol had recommended the mechanic’s shop to her.
“I’m Osha,” the mechanics said as she held out a hand.
“Jecki. Is that a nickname, Osha? Like did you get a lot of OSHA violations so they…”
She pursed her lips to stop herself from talking when she realized how stupid she sounded. Osha’s smile hadn’t fallen, but she shook her head.
“My name is Verosha, but my friends call me Osha.”
“Well, Jecki isn’t short for anything, it’s…”
She cleared her throat.
“Can you help me with my scooter?”
Dear friends 🫂🫂
When we resorted to asking for urgent assistance, we resorted to it because of the difficulty of life we live, whether psychological, physical or material 💔
We are a Palestinian family of seven people. We were living a decent, stable life and had our dreams. Suddenly, our situation changed because of the devastating war that caused us to lose everything we owned and negatively affected my children psychologically, educationally and otherwise 😭😭
Therefore, we became in dire need of help so that we can continue living 💔
Today, after approximately 330 days of war and five months since the start of the fundraising campaign, we have reached 19000€ / 35,000€, and I am confident that you will help me reach the goal as soon as possible - I hope that everyone who sees my message will donate if possible and share it widely 🙏
Thank you very much
🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸❤🤍💚🖤

dont you just hate it when your twin does a crime and you're the prime suspect of that said crime?
THE ACOLYTE— Destiny (S01E03) ››› Jodie Turner-Smith as Mother Aniseya
Just found out The Acolyte is not being renewed for season 2 and I’m fucking pissed. Filoni gets to piss around in his Mandoverse using nostalgia points to mask shitty writing all he wants but the first live action Jedi-centered TV show that pushes the boundaries of what Star Wars can be while still staying true to the spirit of it gets canceled? I hate it here
The worst part of this is it tells everyone who was so disgusting toward the cast and Amandla especially that they win. It tells everyone who watched the Acolyte and saw themselves represented, got a story that for once, was written for them, that they will never matter.
Yord: How dare you mock me in such a manner!
Jecki: Well, how would you like me to mock you then? I take requests.
Yord: can we please do things my way for ONCE? Jecki: Yord, we tried things your way.
Yord: What are you talking about? No we didn’t.
Jecki: I did it in my head and it didn’t work. So we’re still doing things my way.
Osha, to Yord: I dare you-
Jecki: Yeah, no. Don’t you know Yord’s not allowed to accept dares??
Osha: ??? Why not???
Yord: I.. *making air quotes* “have no regard for my personal safety”
Jecki: ITS TRUE
Jecki, turning to Sol: Master, would you please back me up on this?
Sol, shrugging: Jecki does have a point, Yord..
Jecki: HA! .. I mean, see, Yord? It’s for your own safety.
Yord: Do you think I could fit fifteen marshmallows in my mouth?
Jecki: *sighs* You’re a hazard to society.
Osha: And a coward, do twenty.
Sol: Why are you smiling?
Jecki: What? Can’t I just be happy?
Osha: Yord tripped and fell in the hallway
It truly means so much to me the way the white characters in The Acolyte aren't main characters, or if they do have a bigger role they are non-human characters like Jecki and Master Vernestra. Like for once it's not on sight that I clock tokenism or dehumanized BIPOC characters. For once in Star Wars I'm seeing a reversed ratio of white to non white. For so long it's been 4 white for every 1 non white character. I want to go back in time and tell the 8 year old me that our time is coming.
Yord: You know, I was once arrested for being too cool
Jecki, not impressed: Yeah, and the charges were dropped due to a lack of evidence
Jecki: How long are we going to stand here and let him do that?
Osha: Just give him a minute
Yord: *pushing on a door that clearly says pull*
so while i was surprised that mae is already like 'y'know what, i'm good actually' about killing the remaining two jedi (not that i can blame her! i too would not want to kill a wookie w/o a weapon), it also makes sense.
mae's obsessed with osha. it's giving cassandra nova with professor x, specifically as to how for mae, the only other 'real' person in the galaxy is osha. no one else exists. their family, their coven, is long dead. nothing else matters. mae will have her sister in any way that she can - something that she felt so strongly that even as a child, she was prepared to kill osha so she couldn't leave her.
so now that mae knows osha is alive, osha is all that matters - being with her, being near her, being one with her - that's all she cares about. the sith, the jedi, none of that is real.
and it's a fun twist! usually when the villain decides not to continue doing their villain tasks, it's because the main character redeemed them - or that they made a choice to atone. but for mae, it doesn't have anything to do with good or evil. she isn't choosing to become better - by no longer pursuing the jedi, she's actually doubling down on her violent, possessive obsession with her sister. this isn't anakin deciding to save luke and betray the emperor - mae isn't trying to save osha or anyone else really from her master. it's about control - it's about picking back up where they left off when they were children.
it's just osha and mae. mae and osha. always one, but born as two.

Yep, people (haters) do be that way. I don't get how people can watch a media and not use simple common sense to understand what they're watching. But hey, if it's not your prerogative then so be it
Leslye: There was no manipulation.
People: Ewwww he manipulated herrrr.
Manny: There was no manipulation. He was being truthful and vulnerable.
People: He's so manipulativeeee.
Amandla: She wasn't manipulated. Every choice she made was her own.
People: Booooo, manipulation! Osha was manipulated.

I have never cared about Star Wars ever, but that two faced stranger man and his powerful wife have captivated me
