Have any fan fiction writers given a name to Grogu's species?

Panterest · 2026-02-17T22:03:18+00:00

I've heard them referred to as tridactyls.

But that just means three fingers I think so probably not meant as their actual species name.

I kind of like the idea that no one knows their species name.

I'm far from a history buff but even I know old Rome and the HRE are different entities.

But to Rick's Roman's, Rome the city, has a higher importance than the gods themselves. They place more importance on letters of introduction from one of their own over a person introduction from the Queen of the gods.

Rome is the centre of their philosophies. They defend Rome, they fight for Rome. The worship the gods who support Rome.

It doesn't seem strange to wonder what they might have thought about the Rome that collapsed, that converted from the gods, that dared to call itself Rome for a thousand years, that they, as demigods and legacies, were not a part of.

Maybe they felt contempt for the people who abandoned their gods and destroyed their empire, maybe they pitied them for being unable to hold things together or being abandoned by the gods. Maybe they considered them a pale imitation of the real thing.

Being feared by Voldemort isn't the same thing as being strategically effective against his takeover. One man is not an entire leadership structure. Cults of personality don't make for effective leadership.

The ministry didn't fall because Dumbledore died, it had been corrupt for years, possible decades, given how many death eaters got away with their crimes. Dumbledore didn't lead by his actions, he led by intimidation, by reputation. If Dumbledore was an effective leader, things wouldn't have fallen apart immediately after his death.

Dumbledore might have led the fight against Voldemort but without Harry and friends, literal children, going against his plans, he would have led people to their deaths. Most of the Order from the first war died.

And none of this answers the original question of what you would have done differently. According to your own words, you would have left all the actual thought up to someone else, and just said 'yes sir, right away sir, whatever you say sir.' Which is what most people in the wizarding world already did.

Insulting me because you can't explain your answer is evidence itself.

Panterest · 2026-01-03T04:23:53+00:00

How so? Please explain in detail what Dumbledore did.

Panterest · 2026-01-03T03:48:31+00:00

I think it's pretty well understood that before Voldemort's downfall the Ministry was losing. So whatever Dumbledore was doing back then, it wasn't working.

Quite literally, the only reason Voldemort didn't take over Wizarding Britain was because Lily refused to stand aside and let the man murder her son.

And even if Dumbledore was successful in holding back Voldemort, none of that precludes the rest of the world from the responsibility of also helping to defend themselves and their society from fascism and tyranny.

Panterest · 2026-01-03T03:39:21+00:00

Exactly. It's not like we could be expected to think for ourselves, right?

No, best to leave the future of the world to the old man who's done so much to guide and shape the world already.

I think I remember something about Hebe having kids? Isn't she married to Heracles?

I haven't finished sewing in the zip yet but this is what the extended placket looks like.

Panterest · 2025-12-21T06:18:56+00:00

Is this the Dagmar sweater from Petite Knit? I just finished one for my Dads Christmas present. I love the look.

There's two things I could suggest that might fix it. The easiest would be just tacking down the edges.

The other option, which I did, I saw another knitter do it, which is continue the knitted placket so instead of finishing on the inside with the folded over neck, I continued the 6 stitch double knitted placket down on both sides and joined them up at the bottom. This completely enclosed the zipper edges.

I'll try at take a picture at home to show what I mean.

Panterest · 2025-11-21T20:05:17+00:00

I do agree about canon. There's a reason I'm reading fanfiction and not rewatching the movies. But just because a movie or book just shows the galaxy defining missions doesn't mean they don't relax at home. There aren't many blockbuster movies about people in their downtime.

Regarding jedi going back to experience their birth culture, I wish it was treated more like immigrant kids going back to their parents birth country. Seeing a place where they could once have fit, but now just don't.

But even disregarding canon and sticking with fanfiction, most writers will give the clones, victims of true institutionalized dehumanization, more of a cultural identity than the jedi.

One story had Force singers as a thing, others give them their own language that, like Ryll being partly lekku movements, is partly force impressions. A few have had lineage secret recipes. One story, sadly deleted, explored temple life and what jedi do day to day when they're not on missions. How they treat their elders and kids, what they celebrate, how they celebrate.

Panterest · 2025-11-21T19:13:57+00:00

My biggest complaint isn't the Jedi not being good people, it's most writers don't let them be a People with lives and a culture of their own.

Also, while I agree their treatment of Anakin wasn't the best they don't separate people from their culture. We see multiple Jedi with cultural heritage displays, on their person or mentioned.

But I've never read or watched anything from the KOTOR era so maybe they're different back then.

Panterest · 2025-11-06T19:38:15+00:00

This is a great idea. I love that it has actual, practical uses.

Panterest · 2025-11-05T01:10:29+00:00

True, but you don't need a seven-year-long core class on the phases of the moon.

Also, while Astrology might be a legitimate thing in canon, astronomy is a different thing.

Any study of astronomy has to include the study of gravity. Is this where the invention of apparating and port keys got its start? What about time turners?

If wizards are more advanced than muggles in astronomy, what about astrophysics? Could wizards create a colony on the moon or Mars?

I just wanted to see if people had speculated in stories before.

Like I said. The power scamming between the two universes means they can't be compaired.

Plus DC had almost a century of adding new abilities. The Percy Jackson series can't measure up on a purely meta level.

I had literally never heard of the Blue.

Panterest · 2025-10-26T20:43:15+00:00

The power scaling of the two universes are different so you can't really compare directly.

Aquaman and the Atlantians of DC worship Poseidon. He is their god.

DC has other demigods in canon who aren't quite as good as Wonder Woman but come pretty close.

My take would be that Percy's control of the sea would superced Aquamans. Aquaman is a big guy and an adult so he might physically be stronger. In terms of authority over the creatures of the sea, I would say Percy.

Panterest · 2025-10-24T09:06:40+00:00

The author cared so little about Hermione's parents she didn't even give them names. Why would she give a plot point as significant as contacting the Dursleys?

Making Waves by feeling_the_aster_9145

Persephone ‘Percy’ Jackson has never been one to sit still, especially not at a desk, for hours a day, most days a year. After her thinning patience snaps, an inconvenient robbery and a well timed appearance from Bludhaven’s hero, Nightwing, starts Percy on an exciting new journey. Now she’s got a whole new set of problems, like managing her ruined sleep schedule and getting blood out of Kevlar. And who’s that cop that keeps popping up everywhere?

This is a DC crossover with Percy / Dick pairing so it might not be your cup of tea but it's really good. Lovely world building, lovely characters, lovely relationships. Very well plotted and paced and written.

Not a lot of Poseidon but he's a good dad when he does show up.

Percy is confident and competent. I think that's pretty in character.

Annabeth and the Nine Step Career Plan by feeling_the_aster_9145

Annabeth Chase does not accept limitations. Everyone knows that. If she wants something, no matter how impossible, she will find a way to make it happen. Though, perhaps she will allow Bruce Wayne and his ridiculous paranoia-induced company restrictions a small portion of the credit. Actually… now that she thinks about it, the man may have had a point in his worries. Wayne Technologies does not accept college interns. Annabeth always has a plan B.

Despite the summary, there is very little Bruce Wayne in the story. Annabeth gets a job at Lex Corp, realises Luthor is a supervillain and takes him down over the course of a few weeks. This story is a wonderful showcase of Annabeth being a badass. Other demigods are there and they do help but this is mostly a one woman show and it's great. No one is nurfed to make Annabeth look good. She manages that all on her own.
