kalluzeb au week 2025: day 5 - victorian au!!
and we have a delightful, mystery romance that fic this goes with by @solsilverpine : Depravity in the Dark !!!
this au was one of our favourites to research for, we had a blast piecing this all together
For the 2025 Kalluzeb AU Week, here's Tattoo Artist/Flowershop AU!
For the curious, Kallus' tattoos are undercity mushrooms and a star map to Onderon, with individual stars for each dead squad member.
~
After losing a leg and gaining trauma he couldn't shake on Onderon, Kallus was unceremoniously discharged from the Imperial army. He took himself home to Coruscant and put a previously-useless hobby to good use as a tattoo artist.
He doesn't have the best ethics in the business. You're drunk? High out of your gourd on spice? Have a clearly forged parent signature? He'll still tattoo you. You want Rebel imagery? Great. You want Imperial imagery instead? That's good too. Whatever pays the bills.
His comfortable routine is shaken when a lasat opens a flower shop up right across the street. This is undercity Coruscant, so of course they're fake, but the shop is cheery and well-lit. The lasat shopkeeper introduces himself as Zeb and is charming enough to quickly worm his way into the street's good graces.
Kallus is immediately suspicious.
It's not because of Onderon, he tells himself. There's just something... off.
Maybe it's the constant comings and goings from all sorts of Rebel sympathizers. Maybe it's the way the flower arrangements seem to change according to a kind of code. Maybe it's Zeb himself, who seems just a little too friendly. Whatever it is, Kallus tells himself, he's going to find out and cash in the reward money.
Of course, the longer he gets to know Zeb, the more distasteful the idea of turning the lasat in becomes...
As for Zeb himself, he's just hoping the pretty tattoo artist across the way finally catches a hint. In between running a Rebellion front and dealing with his trauma from Lasan, he figures he deserves a little fun.
I've seen a lot of protective Zeb. Especially Zeb protecting Kallus from the Onderon Lasat, Saw or random Rebels. But ya know what I'd go absolutely feral for? Protective Kallus;
Kallus noticing that their new defectors from the Empire seem to still hold xenophobic views and having absolutely None of the way they're treating Zeb (or anyone else for that matter)
Or Kallus and Zeb overhearing Imperial chatter where the Imps are making fun of Zeb for being stupid. Zeb doesn't even have time to process their words where both of them are knocked out by Kallus throwing a chair at them
Just Kallus who's usually calm and collected, but when someone looks at Zeb wrong he loses all inhibitions and is absolutely ready to throw hands or at the very least have some very choice words coupled with his deadliest glare
sabine,, my darling princess get behind me.
im obsessed with the like 3 s3 sabine concepts in the art book
Fucking wild to be teaching about Rosa Parks at the same time as a trans woman in Florida does an act of civil disobedience to use a women's restroom in the state capitol
As far as I know, she is the first woman arrested bc of this law. The law requires that the trans person be warned to leave the bathroom by a state official, and then if they stay they are guilty of trespassing after a warning.
So like, me, my gf, others just piss and nobody asks or tells, but this young woman sent a statement about the law to over 100 FL lawmakers so they would know she was coming, the cops were ready for her, she brought a reporter and went in anyway and spent the night in a men's jail. She is out on bail, and is hoping this will inspire change of the law. But if found guilty, and the law is upheld as constitutional, then she could spend up to 60 days in a mens county jail.
Seriously, this is extremely Rosa Parks coded. Good looking, religious college girl. It's the whole playbook. She also added this selfie.
I support her and hope this goes as well as it can.
Shoutout to trans women for being the only ones to do something actually politically radical with the recent trend of girlcore catholicism

Ruth Norman (a.k.a. Uriel) ran what was basically a very Californian UFO religion (The Unarius Academy of Science), and she was an endless parade of looks.
>censors all existing data on trans healthcare
>orders a study
I'm sure this will be completely unbiased
Hey.
Hey.
Hey.
They are targeting adults.
US people:
Prepare in advance, stockpile what you legally (or in minecraft) can, find diy that you trust.
They are going to take your medically required medication from you. This study is expected to start in about six months, and will likely be bullshit that only takes a couple months after that. There is still time.
However, I would predict an almost guarantee of a major federal legal restriction on adult HRT access in the 6mo-1yr from now range. I don't want any of the bullshit I got at the time of the election about "fearmongering". I stand by everything I said then.
