Please have mercy!!

I'm in the middle of the end of term report stress, there are some big family events coming up and you two are trying to kill me with this!

okay but what if: Sifo-Dyas has visions of Dooku (still holding a blue lightsaber no less) being the instrument of his death and thinks it's because in that future, he is the one who fell and went evil, and Dooku is still a Jedi, hunting him down

first rule of being a rare pair shipper is find a freak or three who can be convinced to enjoy the rare pair as much as you do. second rule is feed each other's insanity

A MINES POST NOT ON A MONDAY?!!

It's come to my attention (thanks @mika1683!!!) that our ✨Mines Monday Prompts 1 Year Anniversary✨ is coming up next month!

That's right, we've been putting Sifo-Dyas in scenarios every week for a whole year now!

We'd love to celebrate, but as ever, this effort is about you, so @bolithesenate and I wanted to turn the question over to the community. What sounds fun? A special theme for prompts in July? A fic/art rec sharing circle? We all get together somewhere and make a giant sculpture of him to commemorate the occasion?!?!? (No one will know who it is.)

As a reminder, the entry fee to becoming a member of the mines is to simply exist as a Sifo-Dyas fan; all are welcome!! If you've never participated in a Mines Monday prompt before, we want to hear from you just as much as anyone else, so don't be shy about jumping in! Our only mission is to generate more love for our rare blorbo and have fun and support each other while we do!

And while we're at it, question for the fam: Can we get a “Jedi Nights” show too? want to see @charmwasjess temple guards and sappy romance! Bring it on! Both!

do you think there ever was a mandalorian who, after a hunt gone bad, suddenly wakes up in a gigantic farmstead, surrounded by scantily clad (by mando standards), impossibly capable people of all ages, species and sexual persuasions and thinks "oh no, I died and this is heaven"

and all the AgriCorps jedi around them have to try their very best to not break down laughing

High Republic Week day 2: For Light and Life

「This is a day to celebrate all things Jedi and the Force!」

というお題なので大好きなPorterを描きました😊

PorterはフェーズIIの時代からとてもカッコいいですよね！

About to have an unpleasant 24 hours, so I'm sharing some self indulgent TPM Sifo Lives WIP for enrichment purposes:

“Try it,” Sifo-Dyas whispered. 

“Try what?”

“Whatever awful thing you're fantasizing about doing to me,” Sifo-Dyas eyes fluttered shut, as if with infinite weariness and longing. “Come on. I could use the exercise.”

“You are drunk,” Dooku pointed out, to cover his flusterment. 

“And you’re crippled. It might even the playing field between us. Make things interesting.” 

“I don't know what you’re talking about.” 

“I'm not afraid of you.” 

"No," Dooku snorted, despite himself. “Fear has never been your path to the dark side.”

“What is it, then?”

Dooku looked at him. His shadow fell across the lower half of Sifo-Dyas’s face in a way that obscured the burn scars on his lips. Looking at him like that, with the traffic lights from the window glittering in his dark eyes, pieces of his hair falling around his face, he almost seemed whole. 

He understood, then. The drinking at dinner. The reason he had agreed to come to it in the first place, why he was here alone with Dooku right now. Sifo-Dyas had done it all for one reason: to hurt himself. 

“Sadness,” he realized.

“Darth Woe.” Sifo-Dyas’s smile gleamed in the darkness. 

“A bit dramatic, don’t you think?” Dooku made himself shrug. “We don’t get to choose the names.”

“What kind of freedom is that, if you can’t even choose your own name?”

“It’s not about freedom.”

“I know. It’s about power.” Sifo-Dyas’s voice cracked. “Do you feel powerful?”

Dooku considered. He had given Sidious everything for this power. His love, his honor, his friends, his planet, his life. His past and his future. 

Now, here he was, sitting close enough to touch this man after so much absence and pain between them, and having to think of nothing more than the ways he might further damage him. Sidious spoke of the darkness's exquisite layers and complex depths, but it always seemed to come back to the same tired conclusion. Destruction.

✨Mines Monday ✨

Hello friends and welcome to Mines Monday, our weekly Sifo-Dyas creative community prompt. Y'all know the deal by now: use the prompt for art, meta, fic, or anything in between, so long as it contains our chaotic dumpsterman, our doom blorbo, our favorite plot device, the indefinable Sifo-Dyas.

Today's prompt comes from wonderful @calcedon79 who nobly and bravely sent in this fantastic submission:

Deaged

Now doesn't that sound like trouble? :D If you're shopping for another idea, our megalist of prompts from as far back as the mines have been churning is here. And don't forget your homework: send myself or @bolithesenate a future prompt to keep the mines chugging along! We run on your submissions!

Love you all, be well, and we'll see you next week!

Today is one of those days ...

Haven't been feeling well for days and this morning I couldn't breathe properly so I went to the doctor. (Asthma in combination with bronchitis is really annoying.)

However, on the way home I just wanted to buy some groceries and there were... STRAWBERRIES

Beautiful ripe strawberries. And cheaper than they've been for a long time. (€1.88 for 500g, how cool is that?!)

Friends, who needs oxygen when you can have strawberries?

Well, the end of the story: instead of getting a rest, I made strawberry jam.

From time to time, it’s almost as if they still see him

[calcedon79]

so does anyone remember that omegaverse syku fic i mentioned once like a year ago? because it's here

pray before your meal

What a disgrace. The cabin was a mess. Not surprising, considering Dooku had locked himself in there for the entire flight. He and Sifo-Dyas were lying on the floor in a pathetic excuse for a nest, made from a few cloaks, a blanket, and a couple of pillows thrown off his bed. There were stains everywhere, a disgusting testament to his weakness, as if the lingering scent of frustration, desperation, and arousal weren't enough. Force help him... or: On a mission, Knight Dooku is exposed to a drug that induces hormonal cycles. Luckily, his pack is there to take care of him.

Which washing program? What do you think? Delicates, colored laundry or wool?

[calcedon79]

Hey Jess, could I borrow the self-lubrication-biology-hack from „Rumors“?

(although Minaschee and not Serrenorian In this case 😁)  That would make writing the smut scene so much easier.

Oh, absolutely!!! :D I swear, I spend half my smut scenes trying to figure out where they're getting the damn lube.

As a general reminder to anyone reading my fics or meta posts, any details or headcanons or places or people are all up for grabs; if you see something that sounds fun to play with in your own writing, go for it! If you do, I love to hear about it because of my massive ego and the opportunity to read said work, but no pressure to do that either!

[calcedon79]

ugh, it's already Thursday, I should really get some stuff done...

..........where are my touys

[calcedon79]

Jedi Master Jai Maruk, I will never forget you.

-Yoda: Dark Rendezvous, Sean Stewart

This. The way that he points out it's not wrong for Jedi to feel feelings, and even make decisions based on them, it's specifically the decision to dominate and crush and use your strength to hurt others that is the dark side.
