Carth: ...Blast if you're not the most frustrating woman I've ever met!
Amnesiac Revan: We've come through plenty of things, it's kind of natural you feel something for me!
Carth: Damn it, if you keep haunting me, i'm going to put you over my knee and and teach me lesson!
Amnesiac Revan: ...Is it a promise?
Amnesiac Revan: Those who defend each time can't win a war!
Bastila *a bit exhausted*: Great Quotes from Great Minds?! Have you been reading that book again?
Amnesiac Revan *trying to be respectful (in her own way)*: It appears that the book contains nearly as much useful information as the Jedi Code does!
Canderous: It appears that this book contains far more valuable information than the whole Jedi Enclave does.
P.S. This is sort of part 2 of this post XD:
I Shall Move Hell
angry self-righteous jedi about to take a trip downhill. In this house we support unhinged women.
process gif under the cut :)
i had to stop this piece for three weeks until i had the courage to stare at armor pics and do studies to make the metal not look like actual shit. Goal accomplishment is questionable but at least is Done.
very proud of the mask tho
Bastila: Don't worry, you won't have to fight agaist Darth Malak, your task is only to help me find Star Maps. I will defeat Darth Malak myself.
Amnesiac Revan: Yourself? I'm sorry, but you couldn't beat Revan without the help of Malak... so technically Malak defeated Revan... And you lose to a mere newcomer like me in 3 out of 5 duels each time. Are you sure you haven't lost the logical links somewhere along the way?
Part of my Revan playlist
Game Rules: Choose one of your characters and list songs that fit them.
There's been a while since I got an idea to make a list of the songs I associate female with Revan. Unfortunately, I was pretty lazy to realise the idea, but luckily, I was tagged by @marythegizka and did it eventually. Thank you, @marythegizka , so much!:)
So I’ve chosen female Revan from different periods of time in her life for this game (and sometimes the songs are also connected with her relationship with Malak or male Exile - Peter Brookman in my headcanon). Probably, later I’ll add up more songs to the list. The order is spontaneous. Let’s go!
1. Fire by The Score (Mostly, it’s connected with amnesiac Revan and her entangled emotions she can’t comprehend. It also may be considered as the anthem of her life starting from the Mandalorian Wars at least)
«In my head I hear a million conversations
I'm spinning out, don't wake me up until the end
The rivers flowing in denial I can't fake it
I'm paranoid that all my thoughts are all my friends…»
2. Paint It Black by Ciara or Beatrice Piacentini (It mostly deals with vibes and some lines only in the period of Revan turning into a complete Dark Lady).
«I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door and it has been painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facin' up when your whole world is black».
3. Tightrope by Michelle Williams (This song and especially these lines below are associated with Revan/Malak relationship during and after the Mandalorian War. No more words 😊 )
«Hand in my hand
And you promised to never let go
We're walkin' a tightrope
High in the sky
We can see the whole world down below
We're walkin' a tightrope
Never sure, will you catch me if I should fall?
Well, it's all an adventure
That comes with a breathtakin' view
Walkin' a tightrope
With you…»
4. O, Children by Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds
(Frankly speaking, I was inspired by the scene of Hermione and Harry's friendly dance to this song from Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I imagine the Exile and Revan dancing to it together and trying to collect their thoughts, while Malak is missing, everything is falling apart, the war is already underway, and the two of them begin to agitate knights and padawans to join the Republic in the war against the Mandalorians and also intend to find out what happened to Malak. The song contains hints on what lies ahead for them - … «…I was held in chains, but now I'm free…» and not only…)
«We have the answer to all your fears
It's short, it's simple, it's crystal clear
It's round about and it's somewhere here
Lost amongst our winnings
O Children
Lift up your voice, lift up your voice
Children
Rejoice, rejoice
…
Poor old Jim's white as a ghost
He's found the answer that we lost
We're all weeping now, weeping because
There ain't nothing we can do to protect you
…
Hey little train, wait for me!
I was held in chains, but now I'm free
I'm hanging in there, don't you see?
In this process of elimination…»
That scene!:)
5. No Time to Die by Billie Eilish (These lines are about that time when Revan finally finds out her true self and her real past and a little bit after that. Without a doubt, Revan is rather offended by Malak’s betrayal, that’s why ‘You were never on my side’. In my view, she doesn’t really think so).
«…I let it burn You're no longer my concern, mmm Faces from my past return Another lesson yet to learn
That I'd fallen for a lie
You were never on my side
Fool me once, fool me twice
Are you death or paradise?
Now you'll never see me cry
There's just no time to die».
6. Who You Are by Lunatica (The whole song is about amnesiac Revan and you’ll figure out why if you listen to it). Here are my favourite lines:
«Frozen and broken Don't know where you're going Losing your identity You're so caught up in hiding But everybody sees
You're never gonna feel You're never gonna heal You're never gonna know what's fake or real 'Til you know who you are You're lying to your face And running in a race You're never gonna win 'til you find your place And you know who you are».
7. Never Tear Us Apart by Bishop Briggs (Revan/Malak song before, during and after the War because then the Jedi Order “could never ever tear us apart”)
«I told you that we could fly
'Cause we all have wings,
but some of us don't know why
I was standing, you were there
Two worlds collided and they could never ever tear us apart».
8. Rewrite the Stars by Zac Efron and Zendaya (Revan/Malak romantic relationship for some time before the war – forbidden and supposed to be sort of impossible… Unresolved romantic tension I’d say).
«You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
But I can't have you
We're bound to break and
My hands are tied
How do we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine?
Nothing can keep us apart
Cause you are the one I was meant to find
It's up to you
And it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
And why don't we rewrite the stars?
Changing the world to be ours…»
9. Everybody Wants to Rule the World by Lorde (I associate this song with Revan and Malak after the War and till the battle on the Star Forge).
«There's a room where the light won't find you
Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down
When they do, I'll be right behind you
So glad we've almost made it
So sad we had to fade it
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world
Everybody wants to rule the world…»
10. Who I Am by The Score (A hero and a villain… Any comments necessary?)
«…I'm a hero and a villain
I'm a myth, and I'm a legend
Without strength and a contender
I am real and the pretender
Take me as I am, or don't 'Cause I don't give a damn, no…»
11. End of Evangelion: Komm, süßer Tod =)
I know, I know I've let you down I've been a fool to myself I thought I could Live for no one else But not through all the hurt and pain It's time for me to respect The ones you love Mean more than anything So with sadness in my heart I feel the best thing I could do Is end it all And leave forever What's done is done, it feels so bad What once was happy now is sad I'll never love again My world is ending I wish that I could turn back time 'Cause now the guilt is all mine Can't live without the trust from the ones you love. I know we can't forget the past You can't forget love and pride Because of that it's killing me inside It all returns to nothing, it all comes Tumbling down...

If you are here, please, feel free to share your thoughts on these songs or share the songs you associate with Revan (Malak or the Exile). :)
I'd like to share a link to a lovely podfic of my kotor fic Sooner or Later, for which I'm really grateful to @shadow-ravin. I'm surprised and excited and it's a great present for me for today 2 year tumblr-versary, which I didn't remember at all! What a funny coincidence! I really enjoy listening to it!:)
Young Padawan Bastila: *in every possible way tries to wriggle out of awkward situations and questions or avoid detailed answers to questions about Revan*.
Wise Master Vrook: Well, if we start training you, how can we make sure the Dark Lord won't return? We're not certain that Revan is truly dead!
Amnesiac Revan: ...
Master Vrook: Obviously, we don't trust you!
Amnesiac Revan: ???
Amnesiac Revan (among the dead bodies of the Sith warriors she's just killed) *speaking absently*: Now that must've hurt!
Hardly a fairy tale
Looking back, Malak sometimes wonders how real their feelings for each other were. Or they simply reveled in forbidden desires, condemned by the masters, conscious violation of the rules of the Order and passion caused by the excitement of the competitive spirit, which might have easily mixed up with something more menacing.
P.S. Here Malak is thinking about Revan and their relationship, of course.
Mission: Isn't it great to learn how to wield the Force?
Amnesiac Revan (ex-smuggler): Yeah, and get involved in Jedi affairs with the Sith and Malak personally... Without a doubt, I've dreamed about that all my life!
Not light enough to wear the Circlet of Saresh...
But not dark enough to wear Tulak Hord's mask!
Somewhere in the middle...
Such powerful items, but what about those who follow the grey path? It's impossible for grey jedi to use either of them!:D
Revan: If you don't remember who you really are or don't want to admit it, how can you fix your mistakes made in the past properly, hmmm?
I devote it to one episode in the game. After crashing on Lehon there's a conversation with all the crew members. Jolee namess the main character Revan while talking about Bastila, and there are two possible options in reply:
1) Don't call me that! I'm not Revan anymore.
2) If Bastila joined Malak, then she'll suffer the same fate he does.
They are both absolutely wrong for my Revan. At this stage, she admits she is Revan, not that false identity. But she has no intention to talk about Bastila (and Malak too, I guess) like that either! Personally, I think it would be a little bit unhealthy for Revan to deny her true identity at that time.
P.S. Despite that, this is literally my favourite computer game. I find it inspirational, fascinating, exciting and almost ideal! Funny fact: I was inspired to write fics and learn English thanks to that game! 20th anniversary... OMG! Yeah, I'm rather old, can't believe it!:D Ha, my favourite moment from the game is still Revelation. I've recently played the game and somehow was shocked when Darth Malak appeared in front of you on the Leviathan at the time when freedom became to seem real (and the whole discussion is something)!
On Korriban, in Tulak Hord's tomb
Amnesiac Revan *been poisoned and unable to move*: Look... I'm sure we can talk about this situation...
Jorak Uln: Haha... I'm sure we could! You can even try using your feminine vibes on me...
Amnesiac Revan *sighing deeply and whispering to herself*: I'm afraid a diplomatic solution doesn't work here.
Amnesiac Revan: I will immobilize you, tear you apart, rip your heart out and feed it to tuk'atas...
Jorak Uln: Well, well..
Amnesiac Revan *suddenly recalling something*: And all this I will do without anger and passion as Bastila taught me!
Bastila *through their Force Bond*: I didn't teach you that!!! Did you find out other unreliable information in another silly book you're reading???
This is kind of Part 3 from that 'unreliable book series'...
WIP Wednesday
Thank you @marythegizka for the tag!
Tagging @for-the-love-of-starwars , @yaninab and everyone else who feels like taking part in it!
It's not Wednesday today... but is it that important?:)
There is part of possible revalek kotor fic again... Six sentences sharp!
Probably, next time i should something more positive and with dialogues!:D
----------------------------------------------------------
In moments of melancholy and despair the Temple, as well as Coruscant, seems to him an inanimate creature that survives due to feeding on the constant flow of Force receiving from jedi...
... And it is strikingly different from Dantooine, which Malak sees only occasionally and for educational reasons only! With Revan every once in a while. When she presses her shoulder against his and laughs unusually easily and freely on one of the countless hills, throwing her head back and not taking her eyes off the inky sky scattered thick with myriads of stars, the endless expanses around them, above them, and the intoxicating feeling of freedom take his breath away. At this moment, he is ready to love the whole world that has belonged to Revan since childhood. Malak does not have to pretend he admires this world.
Fem Revan for @dairine-bonnet✨️
During another heated argument...
Bastila: There is no emotion, there is peace...
Amnesiac Revan: Are you saying that to me or to yourself?
Darth Malak's fingers tightly gripped Alexandra's chin, who was frozen in stasis against her will, lifting it up so that the eyes burning angrily with green flames met the narrowed yellow-blue eyes of the Sith lord.
"Puppet!" hissed a menacing metallic voice. The anger and hatred imbued with it would make anyone shiver. Malak wondered if Revan-Alex had actually flinched when she’d heard the poisonous word.
P.S. This is where the origin of the picture came from.:)
Another one piece for @dairine-bonnet !
On Taris:
Amnesiac Revan *complaining about a sith guy in the canteen*: You know, I gave him an incredibly sexy look, but he ran away muttering that I was going to kill him...
Carth *sarcastically*: I have no idea how this could happen!
Lady Revan for @dairine-bonnet✨️
*Before having a conversation with Canderous in Javyar's Cantina*
Carth: You shouldn't trust these mercs. They can betray you in a heartbeat.
Bastila: I agree with Carth. I don't think it is a good idea to rely on somebody like him.
Amnesiac Revan: Yeah, 'cause we have loads of people who want to help us steal the ship. Of course, they're reliable enough as well! I feel we need to start the selection process to pick the best candidate after Mission joins us a bit later...
