Shoutout to Purimgifts, the Purim-themed multi-fandom fic/podfic exchange for which signs up are open THIS WEEK. I participated for the first time last year, and while I was quite unsure going and really didnt expect to have everything finished in time due to disability and fatigue etc, the mods were super supportive the whole time. I even tried to back out, I think a week or two before the due date, and they said wait till the due date, you have plenty of time. And I ended up surprising myself and completing the challenge. And then I had gifts to give someone else and received gifts in return, and for someone who struggles to be part of synchronous communities (ie doing stuff at the same time as everyone else) due to disability, I felt fully included and part of things and it was so so nice and meaningful and good. Im not entirely sure how its going to go for me this year, but I know if things get out of control, as long as I keep open communication with the mods, its gonna be fine. Theres no penalty for not finishing, literally as long as theyre notified in time to find someone to fill in for you. Thats it. You dont have to be Jewish to participate; the theme is "Jewish characters, women, and people persecuted by evil viziers" so you can write anything that fits. Ill share the official promo below, I just wanted to say for myself, it was such a good and inclusive and accessible fandom experience for me and I totally reccommend giving it a go if you think you'll have fun. And I bet you will. I had a great time.

Purimgifts is an annual all-fandoms-welcome exchange for fanfic and/or podfic (participant's choice; Pod-Together style teams welcome!) with a side helping of art, focused on characters who are at least one of: women, Jewish, or persecuted by evil viziers. Purimgifts celebrates the Jewish holiday of Purim, which commemorates one smart orphan-girl saving her people from genocide (plotted by the king's vizier) and becoming a queen while she's at it. You totes don't have to be Jewish to participate!

2025 Schedule:

SIGNUPS & NOMINATIONS 3-12 Jan (anywhere in the world) DEADLINE Fri 7 March (anywhere in the world) REVEALS 13-15 March

oh oh i have ptsd and have dissociative episodes and i can totally see luke being the same!! to my knowledge the dates never touch on luke experiencing a flashback or episode or being triggered but i would really like to see it (much in the same way as his physical illness!). because love isn’t just uwu and “oh you cured me”, it’s loving someone through everything!!

irt previous ask response on luke and the behavioral changes of Raven

wahhhhh im so glad u resonate with that response and my thoughts in there, anon!!!

and yep, as far as my memory goes i also cant remember a time he has a flashback or an episode, further cementing that this is less canon and more of what i wanna see because //grips hyv by the shoulders. these Things that happen to the characters Have Consequences. and the entire like.....thesis of luke and mc's confession (from SSR Under the Milky Way and the progression of everything prior to that) hinges on how their love is strong enough not to cure but to be there along for the good and the bad, for the wonderful moments and the difficult ones....//shakes ur hand very much anon, u Get It

frankly even with his physical illness, the post-anniv cards are leaving much to be desired, irt to it actually cropping up and affecting luke and mc's relationship, like it was being set up for (shoutout to hazel seven-tastic for the chat that made me Realize This, like YEAH....YEAH WHERE ARE THE MOMENTS WHERE THE HARDSHIP LUKE WAS SO WORRIED ABOUT ARRIVES AND THEY TACKLE IT TOGETHER, COMING OUT STRONGER FOR IT!!!! ;-;)

i rlly love that u brought up the physical illness too because that prev response i did was more focused on mental illness and consequences and the Link between physical illnesses and mental illnesses/effects is Real (i expound way more on that in this previous 1.7k word response about my hopes for the portrayal luke's physical illness). not to say that one always causes the other, but that the immense stress of one can definitely feed into the other. it makes sense to me. and it would be very interesting and fulfilling to see how luke and mc handle it together. how will she help him through the pain episodes of his neural condition? how will she help him through a dissociative episode after a grizzly mission?

and like, to link it to The Line That's Driving Me Nuts that i recently saw from luke's cn server Empryean's Touch MR card; "[...] perhaps it's written in the stars that my name belongs to you"

in my head i can already imagine a scene where he comes home after a mission and hes still so far away. mc helps him with wounds hes sustained that he cant even feel in his state any more. it's upsetting to see him like this, as if hes been hollowed out and sapped of the warmth that makes him him, but she wouldnt want to be anywhere else, saying his name softly over and over again so maybe he can have an anchor to hang onto in wherever hes found himself lost.

it's not a cure-all, but it helps. because so long as she calls his name, one way or another, luke makes his way back to her.

                        credit for theme

Wow...

I’m...really astonished about a number of things here.

First off, Vivi has been my longest muse to date. I had two other characters I wrote and played as when I first started out, but they didn’t last very long. Vivi though?

She’s been with me for almost 4 years.

4 years!!!

I honestly thought after the hype of Freaking Out back in 2016, it would be the end of Vivi. I know I was in a small rut writing wise, my Vivi muse wasn’t working for a number of months afterwards but...I kept pursuing her. I took a break to deal with life things, then by the time I got into Bendy and the Ink Machine I got...a SUDDEN SPIKE in my Vivi muse and I’ve been riding that wave since!

The two of us have been through...a lot...since Ghost first came out. There’s some bad times mixed in with a lot of good memories of being on this blog but that’s what it’s like running a blog on Tungle.com. I feel like both Vivi and I grew up a lot over these years. I was still in college when I even heard about Mystery Skulls, but as soon as I saw the animated video it started a great journey for me. One I’m still walking down to this day. 

I’ve gained a number of friends through this blog, I have improved significantly on my writing, and Vivi’s helped me break out to start voice acting/singing online too.

Maybe that’s why I don’t have the heart to give up on her or take up any other muse. The way I portray her is the kind of person I wish to live by. She’s helped me grow and I helped her realize more of herself; both of us did a lot of good for the other.

But enough of the sap! I want to give some shoutouts to some of the friends I’ve come to know because of the this blog.

The Meme Family:

@feather-dancer @marshyoftheblobs @darckcarnival , @splatterlewis @spctr

The meme team has been through so much together. We grew acquainted with each other by bonding over the love of the first MSA video. There have been many ups and downs, lots of scares and lots of bad times, but so many good memories came by the friendships we established. Although we’ve steered to different interests, we never have stopped talking and causing all kinds of shenanigans. It’s a true blessing to be friends with such a good group of people. We’re quite the dysfunctional, meme family but I wouldn’t have it any other way with you guys!!!

To all the friends in the MSA Servers:

It’s so incredibly awesome to have a group of individuals who love these animated music videos, these characters, and this whole story just as much as I do. I know there’s quite a number of you in multiple servers I’ve known since the beginning of this blog, and I’m so happy we still get to chat every now and then.

This is to all the writers, the artists, and the VAs I’ve grown to know over the years. Some I may not to speak to much like I do others, but I will always welcome you and greet you with the biggest of smiles. You guys really made my experience in this fandom worth everything!

@arthurtristankingsmen, @chantillyxlacey, @like-clockwork-lew, @spectrum-skull, @morsprocella, @spook-wolf, @tragicquartet, @transientday, @ray-kaladis, @bluebiesartblog, @starcre8tor, @thepurpah, @pmseymourva, @amtrax, @chisanaai, @wysterradi, @atomi-cat, @dryeguy, @chaotictechnocracy

To all the friends and RPers in the BATIM fandom/servers:

It’s such a freaking blast and quite the honor for my girl to be accepted so naturally into a great, inky world. I fell in love with BATIM when I first heard “Build Our Machine” and I would never escape from Joey Drew Studios. Eventually I wanted to try inserting Vivi into the cartoonish world, and it’s been an awesome ride with all I’ve written!!

Thank you to all the amazing people and writing partners I befriended because of the silly antics, heart-wrenching angst, and adorable fluff!!

@projectioniist, @inkmachine, @problematicprojectionist, @broken-projectionist @inkwise, @instrumentsofcyanide, @licoriceblackaliceangel, @devildrling, @selbstsxchtig, @im-alice-an-gel, @paimania/ @nctherchpter, @papabendy

To all the friends in the Phone Zone:

I did NOT expect to be assimilated so fast into a server surrounded by a freaking AI phone from Splatoon 2. However despite me being a bit intimidated and quite nervous coming in without even having a phone muse or any muse from Splatoon, you guys just accepted me as is and this blue girl too.

It’s been an absolute BLAST writing, drawing, and talking all kinds of shenanigans between all the muses. Whether it’s fluff or slice of life stuff, or A HELLUVA LOT OF ANGST it’s so AWESOME getting to write with all you guys!!

@commandertart, @telephobos, @pacifistic-ai, @commander--denwa, @anarchyphone, @commander-tatum/ @kat-soup, @cdr-tartar

I know I’m forgetting more, but...honestly to all I RP with and to everyone I chat with, whether on a daily basis or every now and then, I want to thank you for making this experience on this little RP blog so much fun!! Cheerio and let’s continue with many more adventures!!

The sound of his door opening startles him so much that Cassian almost drops his datapad into his lap. He turns to the culprit–Jyn, of course–who’s slamming a bottle onto his desk and is now looming over him with a cheeky smile. “Hey, Cass.”

“Jyn,” he says, exhaling heavily, but smiling nonetheless. Other than the way she’s swaying on his desk–he has to reach a hand up to steady her so she doesn’t fall off–she doesn’t look too drunk. It’s definitely not to the level of the time she challenged Solo to a drinking contest–now that had been messy. The image of her telling Bodhi she’d kill for him pops into his mind, and he has smother a grin behind a hand.

He shakes his head, bringing him back to the present and the smiling woman in front of him. “You walked all this way by yourself?”

“I wanted to see you,” she says, somewhat absently. Her eyes dart around the room, but when she refocuses on his face, she smiles broadly. It’s almost as if she’s seeing him for the first time, her face sparkling and full of wonder. “I missed you.”

“Jyn, I’ve got to get this report typed and sent to Draven in an hour,” he replies, glancing between the bottle on his desk and her face. Despite himself, he can already feel his focus slipping through his fingers. Jyn tended to do that to him; whenever she’s in the room, all of his attention goes right to her, no matter what else is happening. Still, he makes a valiant effort to try and get his work done. “I thought I’d already said so–didn’t we have this same conversation about thirty minutes ago?”

“Probably,” she tells hims, hoisting herself up on his desk so he’s forced to pay more attention to her. Her legs dangle off the edge, with the back of her heels drumming against the side. There’s not enough room for both his datapad and Jyn, so he tosses his work to the side and sighs, despite the small smile tugging at his lips. “Turns out–I’m not really. . .that great at listening. Or reading. You know.”

“I don’t know how you haven’t been kicked out of the Rebellion yet,” he mutters fondly (because it’s always fondness for her, always), tugging her off of the desk and into his lap. She yelps, surprised, but wraps her arms around his neck all the same, leaning in to press her forehead against his. In such close contact he can smell the alcohol on her breath, but he finds that he doesn’t mind, simply content to be as close to her as possible.

“I suppose that I have you to thank for that,” she says, giving him a small grin before leaning in to press a quick kiss to his lips. When she pulls away, he groans at the loss of contact. But as he tries to pull her back in for another, she dances away from him, a teasing look flashing on her face.

“I thought you were trying to distract me?” he asks, his voice slightly hoarse. Jyn smirks, slipping off his lap and grabbing his arm to pull him to the bed. Even with the work he has to do, he doesn’t resist her, following willingly. Draven can wait a little longer.

(with jyn here, he knows that everything else he has to do doesn’t stand a chance of getting completed.

he’d accepted a long, long time ago that she will always come first.)

She snatches the bottle off the desk with her free hand, then joins him on the bed. He tries to protest, but it dies on his lips. “Jyn, I really do have to write that report–”

“C’mon, Cass,” she teases, and he relents finally, propping himself up against the wall and pulling her into his embrace. He wraps an arm around her shoulder, and she curls up into his side. “Here,” she offers, pushing the bottle into his hands. “Brought you something.”

He accepts it with a raised eyebrow, peering down into it. There’s nothing in it, except for a small amount of liquid at the bottom. Still, he appreciates the effort. “You brought me an empty bottle?”

“There was–Corellian gin in it, I think. I drank it on the way,” she mutters, stretching her arms up over her head, then hooks one around his neck so she’s the one holding him. She shifts closer, and his heart swells at the way she trusts him enough to be this vulnerable. Most of the time, he knows, she’s expecting a vibroblade in the back. “Took me awhile to get back over here.”

“I’d be wrong in assuming you didn’t get into any trouble, wouldn’t I?”

Jyn hums, closing her eyes and running her fingers through his hair. She’s just as easily distracted by his presence as he is by hers. “Not that much.”

“Care to elaborate?” he asks wryly, pressing a kiss to her forehead and letting his eyes wander. Her hands look uninjured and he can’t see any bruises on her exposed skin, but he still has to ask. “Please tell me you didn’t get into any fights.”

She grins down at him, her eyes fluttering open. “You have to give me another kiss if you want answers,” she taunts, as if that would be a big sacrifice, as if he’d ever refuse a request from her.

Cassian shifts to cup her face and pulls her face down into a kiss. She turns to wrap her other arm around his neck, deepening it, and he groans into her mouth as she moves from his side onto his lap, her hips straddling his waist. However, just like last time, she moves away before anything else can happen with a smile on her face and laughter dancing in her eyes.

He doesn’t let that deter him. “You need to uphold your end of the bargain, Sergeant,” he murmurs with mock-seriousness, pulling her closer to him so she rests her head in the crook of his neck, with hands splayed out on her back so he can hold her tighter. “We had a deal.”

“I saw Leia in the hallway,” she says, her voice muffled from the way her face is pressed into the front of his jacket. “I might have told her–Cass! Your fingers are cold!”

“Sorry, sorry,” he chuckles, though he doesn’t move his hands from where he slipped them underneath her jacket. It’s payback for all the times she’s purposely gone barefoot to bed so she could poke him with her freezing toes, sliding her feet up his pant legs. “You were talking to–Jyn!”

“Two can play that game, Captain,” she laughs, dipping her fingers down past the collar of his parka and onto his bare skin. He tries to squirm away from her, but she only presses forward with her attack. Soon enough, they’re a pile of tangled limbs on the bed. Jyn’s straddling Cassian’s hips and looming over him, panting slightly with exertion. She sinks forward until she’s laying on top of him, resting her chin on his sternum so she can look him in the eye.

Her hair, loose and unbound, falls into his face, and he huffs out a breath to get it out of his mouth. “What did you say to Leia?”

“Can I borrow your parka?” Jyn asks instead, letting her fingers dance over the hood. “I like the,” she raises her hands to her head and makes something that looks like a halo in the air, “I like the fur.”

“You’re literally wearing a coat right now,” he tugs gently at the material of her jacket to prove it to her. Knowing Jyn, who’s both determined and stubborn when faced with something she wants, she probably doesn’t care about that fact. “Why do you need to wear mine?”

“I’ll tell you what I said to Leia if you let me wear your parka.”

“We have a deal,” he murmurs, reaching up to card one of his hands through her hair. She closes her eyes and hums appreciatively, leaning into his touch. “I already gave you a kiss, remember?”

“Yeah.”

“What did you tell Leia?”

“I told her that she should hurry up and ask Han out on a date already,” she whispers, propping her chin up with one of her arms. “He kept looking for her at Bodhi’s shuttle but she never showed up.” She reaches forward to twine his hair in her hands, tugging softly and wrapping a strand between her fingers. “How do you get your hair so soft?”

“I asked the Force very nicely to give me good hair,” he answers with a grin. He uses her distraction to his advantage, sitting up suddenly and flipping them so he’s the one laying on top. Careful not to put all of his weight on her, he braces most of it on his elbows, settling between her open legs. He’s not surprised in the slightest–leave it to Jyn to meddle in other people’s businesses. “What did Leia say to that?”

“She told me that I should mind my own kriffing business and that I was a no good, two-timing moof milker. Then she stormed off.”

This time, he tries to hide his laughter by tucking his head in Jyn’s neck, but it’s no use. His whole body shakes with the effort, and after a few beats, he doesn’t bother trying to be subtle.

“What?” she splutters indignantly. “Stop laughing, I’m right!”

“I know,” he says, though he’s still laughing when he looks up. There’s a stubborn smile pulling up at Jyn’s lips too, even though he can see she’s trying to keep it from him. “They really need to get their shit together, hmm?”

Jyn opens her mouth to respond, but her comm dings, interrupting her train of thought. She shuffles out from underneath Cassian and grabs it on the bedside table. Confusion creases her forehead, so he sits up and watches as she struggles to log herself in.

“I give up,” she complains, holding the holopad out for him. The look of frustration on her face has him clamping down on another grin. “Can you log me in?”

“Sure,” he says easily, taking the device from her. It only takes him a few seconds to pull up her message logs.

“Ah, Jyn?”

“Hmm?

“What’s your password?”

She makes some sort of noise that he can’t distinguish, rolling over on the bed to press her face into the blankets. He raises an eyebrow in amusement. “I didn’t quite catch that, Jyn.”

Her next response is mumbled so quickly he barely catches it. “‘I love Cassian.’”

“Is that one word or three?”

“Cass!” she whines, flipping over to grab one of the pillows and throw it at him. Even drunk, she still has deadly aim, but he’s known her long enough to expect her patterns. Without batting an eye he swats it away with his free hand, smirking.

He types in her password once he knows that she’s not going to throw anything else at him, then tosses her holopad back to her. She scans the words in front of her, then snorts. He moves closer to her to read over her shoulder. “It’s mostly from Solo. And a couple messages from Bodhi.”

Her fingers move before he can stop her, typing out a response that’s barely legible. Though, in her defense, Han’s just as drunk as she is. He’s sure that the smuggler will be able to decode it easily.

Jyn doesn’t spare a second glance at Solo’s response, instead swiping her finger up to get to the next set of messages from Bodhi. Cassian would feel bad for him if he didn’t know him any better. Quite frankly, he agrees with Jyn. Although he’d never say it out loud, Solo and Leia need to get their shit together.

“It was easy to beat Bodhi once I figured out his weakness,” she announces suddenly, looking up at him with a face that just begs him to ask what it is. Her holopad sits absently in her lap, but she doesn’t do anything about it, letting her screen go dark.

“And that would be?”

“Luke Skywalker.”

“You got Luke to help you cheat?” he asks her dubiously.

She shakes her head. “I just invited him to play with us. Since Bodhi was looking at him the entire time, he wasn’t–” she trails off, then blinks rapidly before continuing. “Bodhi wasn’t looking at my hands so it was easier to cheat. And then I won.”

She holds up her hand for a high five. He reaches over to slap her hand, but she grabs his hand before he can, pulling it closer to her. He can’t help but laugh at the look on her face. “Jyn–”

“This is mine now,” she murmurs, her eyes drooping sleepily, but her grip on his hand doesn’t loosen up.

“That’s fine. You can have the other one too, if you’d like.”

“No. Jus’ this one.”

“I think it’s time you got some sleep,” Cassian says gently, snatching the holopad from her hands before she can pretend he said anything else. “You’ve shipping out tomorrow, right?”

“That’s why we all met to play sabacc,” she yawns, stretching her arms over her head. It takes both of them, but he manages to get Jyn both out of her coat and heavy outer layers, then into bed.

He shoots a mournful look at his datapad and the report he ultimately knows won’t get finished before tomorrow as he folds her clothes on the desk. Once he’s stripped as well, he climbs into bed at her side. She curls up next to him with a content sigh, hugging him closer. “I’m going to miss you, Cass.”

It sounds as if she’s almost asleep when she tells him that, and his heart aches. “You’ll be home soon,” he says quietly, even though he has no idea when she’ll be back. “And you can comm me anytime.”

“You’ll respond?”

“I’ll always respond,” he promises, rubbing his thumb up and down on her arm. “Even when I’m in a meeting with Draven and he’s talking about something I should be paying attention to.”

That makes her smile; he can see it even in the darkness. “You’re going to get kicked out the Rebellion.”

“I’ll just tell him it’s your fault.”

“That’s fair,” she replies, sliding her hands up his shirt again. This time, he doesn’t flinch away, wanting to be as close to her as possible despite her cold hands. “I still wish you had been there.”

“Next time,” he says softly. “I promise.”

She yawns again. “Even if you have work and–and no time?”

“I’ll always make time for you.” Even as he says it, he knows it’s true. While the Rebellion is extremely important to him, Jyn is too.

(the rebellion is his whole life, and has always been, but she’s wormed his way into his heart and now he can’t live without her.)

Jyn blinks up at him owlishly, then rests her head on his chest. “Goodnight, Cap’n.”

“Night, Jyn. I’ll see you in the morning, okay?”

“Mhmm.”

With that, he tightens his arms around her sleeping form as if his sheer will alone could keep her on Hoth, and closes his eyes.
