I have thoughts and none of them are in order.

An illustration of an actual line written by a friend of mine. Mind readers canonically have a difficult time with Erick Cartel (purple man over there) because he is 90% impulse, his thoughts are fast and erratic and not fully formed and generally anyone that tries to take a look at it wants to punch him three times more. A skilled telepath could obviously get whatever they want from him, but more average-level mind readers may struggle at first.

Also, he got his ass kicked SO bad after this. His fault for trying to rob a cult full of mass murderers of the information that might help him defeat them, all in broad daylight (well not daylight per se but certainly not attempting to hide).

May as well post this here because you do not want to know how badly this purple motherfucker dominates my brain Jesus Christ.

What annoyed me most about Star Wars Rebels was that there were so many good elements that tbh seemed specifically tailored to appeal to my tastes but then they took all that potential and pissed on it.

But hey, without Star Wars Rebels making me mad and form a slight obsession with how it could be rewritten/improved, we would not have God’s Worst Mistake™️ and by that I mean this poor sod:

His name is Erick Cartel, he is pure condensed bastard energy and the universe refuses to give him a break. I rewrote Rebels so many times that it evolved into a whole separate project that I ended up doing with a few friends, completely unrelated to Rebels in any way. Like this guy was a cross between all my rewritten Ezras and a shitty Biggs Darklighter AU I’d done. Nowadays he’s more of a glorious cross between Rincewind from Discworld, Han Solo and an unholy fusion of McWatt and Yossarian from Catch-22.

He is about as force sensitive as a brick but someone accidentally brought it up to him, then someone else started training him to try and resolve their own trauma and now he’s banned from casinos for life and also wanted by multiple entities in the middle of a mid-life crisis.

The only reason this guy isn’t straight up dead is because he accidentally befriended the people who are being sent to kill him before they were part of organisations that wanted to kill him. He is the dictionary definition of walking disaster and I love him.
