Nocturius / Pabu-Core

@nocturius-pabu-core / nocturius-pabu-core.tumblr.com

Hi, welcome on Pabu! Take a seat, have a plate of freshly made sushi. Clones deserters, wobbly droids, sassy pirates and folks of the rebels alliance are welcomed. No Imperial right-winged boot-lickers. 🫵 Here a place so you can be yourself and rest. Nocturius ( they/them) is an illustrator, writer and memer behind this blog. Late 30's, English/French Ask box is open for chatting with characters living on Pabu or Noct. Rude anons will be ignored.

(REBRANDING to Pabu-Core IN PROGRESS) Welcome on Pabu-Core!

(Intro) What is Pabu-Core?

Pabu-Core, formerly known as Fi-Core, is a themed blog about the clones from Star Wars, more precisely, The Bad Batch.

**Between 2024 and April 2026, it was mostly centered about the clone commando, Fi Skirata from the books Republic Commando, but it appears the author of those books is a dipshit right-winger pro-Orange Guy. So ehmm screw that. My old work will still be available because I'm proud of it and I interpreted the books in my very unique queer-leftist lens. My love for the RepComm community and how I cared about the characters is still there, but i will no longer make fresh new content about it on main. **

I started being a -core and doing memes on Facebook in January 2024 and become part of the ''coremunity''. (community of -core). I exported the idea on Tumblr and Bluesky. I do memes, fanarts and fanfictions about clones. I also enjoy roleplaying characters. (not sure yet, how it will work with a whole planet. ^^')

Who is Nocturius?

Nocturius is who I am under the coredom. I have an university degree in Art and Design with a specialisation in comicbook (drawing and script-writing). Feel free to ask me for tips about art, I enjoy sharing and teaching! I am from Québec, Canada, therefore my main language is French. That's why my English might be a bit wonky but I'm working on it! I'm also a queer person. Non-binary and pansexual. Leftist and agnostic/atheist.

Do I draw other stuff than clones?

Of course! Clones are my hyperfixation for now and Pabu-Core is my way to vent about it. BUT through my life, I mainly drew fantasy characters, such as elfs, dragons, merfolks and all kind of monsters. I also had a steampunk phase and have been involved in the Doctor Who fandom. You can see some of that on my ko-fi. I might do non-Star Wars new content occationnally eventually but I'm not sure yet how to organized it, we'll see.

Useful links?

  • @clonescomlink : Side-blog about clones and SW for most of my reblogging content. Because reblogging human creators post is important to fight AI prompter-poopers and celebrate true commnunity!
  • Tip Jar Ko-fi : If you want to tip me or see my art gallery I TAKE ART COMMISSION, DMs me!
  • Bluesky: RP, memes and same jazz as on my FB roughly. (may contain cat picts!😱)

Navigation 2024-2026

Here a compilation about stuff I've produced!

They are organized by categories and older first.

I got the whole buffet as a writer, memer and illustrator.

**Last update: 22th of March 2026**

ALL LINKS ARE BROKEN BECAUSE of the rebranding. I'M WORKING ON THIS 🥲👍

Enjoy!

You are appreciated

Love you folks. Sometimes I do reblogs stuff but it's in a pile of drafts on my side-blog or sometimes I might not reblog, because it's not to my taste but that doesn't mean I don't respect it.

If we are moot, that mean I care about you and is happy to see your stuff in my feed. ☺️

Anonymous asked:

So theres been some posts going around not sure if you saw but some people say that Crosshair could never be straight

How do you feel about that?

I feel like you're trying to start drama? If you're talking about @letshareapapou's post, that's not what they said.

I'd also have to remind you that MY Crosshair isn't straight either. Him being mainly partnered with Tahny doesn't make him any less queer. He routinely gets pegged by her girlfriend and has sex with her brother lol.

That and literally every one in the Disgrace AU can be classified as a "disaster bisexual." Just to keep things interesting.

To reiterate what was actually said- this is an open community, and anyone can portray the characters as they like.

Lol.

All goddamn fictional characters can be whatever we want unless it is specified in canon they are something. And even that, you can always make an AU they are different. People in fandoms always had their headcanon ships, weird ships, enjoy a lil genderswap or draw them as cats or Pokémon or whatever.

Anon, come on. This is tumblr. There is not a single character that doesn't have a queer version somewhere.

I'm bathing in your cis-het normative tears.

It's the 15th of the month! This is the time to take requests for the 15minChallenge.🥳🥳🥳 They are Pay-what-you-want and can be any topic! I take those for the next two days. Contact me on any of my socials.

URGENT GROCERIES MONEY!!

I've reached the end of the month and with it I'm struggling to complete payment for basic needs. It's been hard to find a second job to sustain me and my kitties so all I can do for now is keep offering my commissions.

https://ko-fi.com/acsalazarart/goal?g=0

Please consider buying me a Lo-fi in exchange for an awesome commission!

I deliver in two-three weeks.

I can do any fandom, ocs or canonXOc stuff.

I can do sfw and nsfw.

Character sheets and comic pages!!

Here are my art examples:

Including happy customers!

Great artist. Commission a friend !

Omega + AZI and Gonky + Lula: Traditional and digital linart: fine markers, pentel brush. Colours in Krita

I'm done with those two! 🥳 I finally got the whole CF99 + them and Echo done after almost 3 years. (before Fi-Core/this blog|) 🤯 What a journey... I learned so much since I started that in 2023... My plan for them now, is to slighty modify the oldest ones so they all fit the same ''level'' and turn them into prints.

Are you folks interested?

------------ Here the other ones from that series!

Season 1 Tech: Traditional ink + digital colors on Krita Season 1 Wrecker: Traditional ink + digital colors on Krita Season 1 Crosshair: Traditional ink + digital colors on Krita Season 1 Cyborg Echo: Traditional ink + digital colors on Krita Season 1 Hunter: Traditional ink + digital colors on Krita

LULA! That one look finished but it's actual a piece in a WIP I'm working on. That will go with a couple other TBB elements, like AZI

The wrapping of the whole piece is coming soon. 🥰

Got a com back. Its beautiful. I wish I could share it and be excited, but....I don't know if there's any point.

It feels like whenever I get excited about my ocs I end up being "too much". Or it just gets ignored.

It also feels silly to keep sharing things I love for it to just vanish into the void. It feels silly to be excited about my ocs alone.

I get why people stop creating. A garden won't grow without food, water and love.

I'm halfway through another fic and...I don't even know if I'll bother finishing it. What's the point? I create for me yes, but I also create to get excited with others. And that piece has been lacking in my life the last month or so.

I don't know. I suppose at least I'm getting a03 kudos.

Meh

I would say, continue to do what you love and bring you joy. There will always be times where people seem not that much interested in our work but remember it's not necesseraly about you. I feel the whole fandom is going quiet theses days. Could be the summer, could be the shitass politic climate. In the meantime, you don't only create for yourself. You refine your skills, you build an universe. New people will find you in time and be curious. That can take long but they will pop. As long you are still loving what you do, there is worth in that. You are a real artist, not a AI prompter. Your passion for creating come from your heart and soul.

We are facing a ugly time where people feel hopeless and want to gives up art, diversity and colors. Because the Empire wants us like that. Let's not give them what they want. Let's go be bold and strong like Sabine Wren or Omega. Making OCs that are ''too much'' is not wrong, it's a way to express yourself, have fun and to welcome the beautiful chaos that is in our mind. It's powerful and magic. Real life can be so boring, sad and terrifying. OCs are our vehicule to free ourselve and evolve.

Be kind to yourself, be patient. People will come back. New people will also pop.🫶
