I am something of a paintress myself, I miss Gustave - I'm drawing one for my screensaver.

I'm currently still in the "they should've made out sloppy style" hell and this is how I cope 🤧

The first thing the new Barish-Estranza explorer had done was power up to ART and try to intimidate it/us. (I know. I was below 66 percent operating capacity at the time and I thought it was a bad idea.)

ART had dropped its main weapon port and transmitted, Targeting lock acquired.

The explorer had replied something to the effect that they didn't mean to be intimidating and was the widdle academic transport crew scared, but in corporate speak, and ART had replied, it's so easy for ships to disappear out here.

Pushing my ART is a giant scary spider agenda

master and padawan antics between qui-gon jinn and his dutiful pupil obi-wan kenobi. raising a padawan hand selected by the cosmos to suffer inordinately aint much but it's honest work

this is a (kind of) redraw of something I did years ago. a collage of qui-gon showing how much he cares for obi-wan for my own catharsis. Im not linking or showing the old one because I genuinely need people to stop perceiving it <3

Hi everyone ...

I am Maram Al-Nabulsi, I currently live in the completely destroyed 🏚🚀city of Gaza, specifically Khan Younis. Since the war on Gaza began on 10/7/2023, my family - my father Muhammad, my mother Hiba and my siblings Nour, Maram, Mahmoud - have been living in constant fear, crying and suffering because of shrapnel, shells and bullets. We have no food🥘🌯, no electricity, no cooking gas, no schools🏢📚, no homes🏚, no cleaning supplies, no clothes🧣🧥🧤. Our house was completely destroyed. My school was bombed, and my sister Nour's university was turned into rubble, which deprived us all of education. The war forced us to live in displacement centers, which are just tents that are not suitable for living, especially in winter. Every day we live death, terror and panic a thousand times because of the continuous bombing of my city. The war has killed more than 50 of my relatives and neighbors. At the beginning of the war, we took refuge in my aunt's house, but it was also turned into rubble. Imagine: We have escaped imminent death more than 20 times, and have been displaced between shelters more than 13 times. My brothers and I have suffered from many diseases due to malnutrition, and we need medicine constantly. If we stay in Gaza, we may lose our lives. Recently, we have been seriously considering leaving Gaza to a safe place. However, the travel costs are very high. We need more than 70 thousand dollars to leave Gaza. Due to the exorbitant prices, rampant unemployment, insecurity, the ongoing blockade, and the continuous bombing, we have lost all our money. How can we live in such insecurity💔🙏, with the constant bombing and shrapnel flying above us? My dear compassionate friends around the world, with your generous donations, even if small, you can save 5 people from imminent death, allowing us to start a life outside Gaza full of love, peace, and hope. Best regards from Gaza City....🍉🇵🇸

My LGBTQ+ Brothers and Sisters Save Me from the Bombing and Violence You Are My Only Hope.

My name is Nour, and I’m 21 years old from northern Gaza.

I once lived a peaceful life, but everything changed on October 7th, 2023, when war devastated Gaza.

I had to flee my home, and now I live alone in a tent made of torn fabric in southern Gaza.

The constant bombings are unbearable, but being a lesbian in a society that rejects me is even harder.

I live in constant fear of violence and judgment, with extreme shortages of food, water, and basic supplies.Life has become a daily struggle for survival.

I urgently need your help. I cannot stay here any longer. Please help me find safety, dignity, and the chance to live as myself.

Every donation, no matter how small, brings me hope for a better tomorrow. Your support can make all the difference.

Please reblog my post

Please Take Action Now‼️

What Strength Really Means 💪

Hey everyone, my name is Abdelmajed. I don’t usually talk much about myself, but today, I want to share a little piece of my story.

I was born and raised in Gaza, a place that has always been my home 🏡. I grew up surrounded by my family, my friends, and the streets that I knew like the back of my hand. Life wasn’t always easy, but we had love, laughter, and dreams. I used to think that no matter what happened, home would always be here. But life has a way of changing things in ways we never expect.

Over the past months, everything I once knew has disappeared. The streets that were once filled with children playing are now silent. The houses that held so many memories are now just rubble. And the people I loved—some of them are gone forever. 💔

And I'm now waiting to be Vetted by @gazavetters 🙏

i hate it when i cant even write a poem about something because its too obvious. like in the airbnb i was at i guess it used to be a kids room cause you could see the imprint of one little glow in the dark star that had been missed and painted over in landlord white. like that's a poem already what's the point

Oh, Right, THAT Guy

One thing that makes me laugh about this scene every. single. time. is that when Obi-Wan sends a message to Anakin here, he bothers to identify himself as OBI-WAN KENOBI, full name. 

Really, Kenobi: how many pompous British OBI-WANS is Anakin likely to be getting messages with orders in them from?! Would he really not recognize OBI-WAN’S voice? When he might even be able to SEE HIM?! Maybe Anakin really is that slow to catch on in their holo-Skype calls, though. 

Obi-Wan: Hi, Anakin, it’s Obi-Wan. 

Anakin: [deeply confused] …who?!

Obi-Wan: You know: Obi-Wan Kenobi? From the Jedi Temple? I’m your Master? We live together? I have that wolfman hair? We see each other every single day? 

Anakin: Ohh. THAT Obi-Wan.

for some positivity, here is a few star wars fanfics I have recently been following, reading and enjoying:

in the absence of the sun by vizslasaber, a story about obi-wan, ahsoka and anakin with their legions going to stewjon for a relief mission and ruining into someone's family: written very well, love the variety of perspectives and nuanced and complex familial dynamics

Ties That Bind by Imagined is a gorgeous, gorgeous WIP where the clone wars start basically straight away after TPM and bby!anakin with the clones and anakin... my heart. somehow this situation is better for anakin than canon.

reread this delightful crack fix-it fic told through pithy bullet points where obi-wan and anakin hash out their problems and palpatine's plans are foiled by pre-bespin luke telling anakin about obi-wan's apprentice becoming a sith and anakin, naturally, not leaving obi-wan's side: From A Certain Point of View by Phosphoroscent
