OH. MY. GOD. this is so perfect t for me thank you 😭❤️
DINLUKE F1 AU
ok so I had this in my notes for fucking ages so fuck it here we go
inspired by @ehi7backup incredible art [look at it here]
TW: Luke lost his hand in a crash, Luke has ptsd Luke is the new hotshot star driver for Ferrari, Anakin was the best F1 pilot the world has ever seen, but after a horrid crash, he had to stop. Now his kids step up, Luke as driver and Leia as team principal (tho ppl say she could have surpassed Luke as a driver). Wedge is his co-pilot or Mara idk.
Luke's first season was incredible but he got into a horrible crash and lost his hand and now everyone is very skeptical if he can make his comeback this season. The team is under pressure anyways bc ppl say there is a curse on them since Anakin also had a horrid crash, you know Skywalker fuckery.
Din drives for Red Bull, tho they are referred to by some as the death watch, drawing suspicions with their weird training regiments. The Armorer is the team principal and Boba is Din's copilot. Din never takes his helmet off, mostly bc he rly just got into racing bc it's the only thing he was ever good at and he just wants to care for his kid and be left alone.
Bo-Katan is on Toro Rosso, and fucking hates Din's guts bc she used to drive for Red Bull but got knocked down to Toro Rosso last season so Din could have her spot (Din is oblivious to that rivalry). Koska is her copilot. Satine is the team principal and she and Bo never see eye to eye. Also, Satine has a weird history with that old dude that hangs around Ferrari all the time it's Obi-Wan.
Han and Chewie are in one of those weird teams that keep changing their sponsor and team name all the time so they are just known by the name Han lovingly gave his car, the Millennium Falcon. Lando is somehow their team principal even though no one knows where the heck he came from.
Then there is Mercedes with Gideon as team principal and Maul and ikd Ventress or someone as their drivers (nothing against Mercedes it just has to be one of the top teams u know for the drama).
Palpatine is the slimy old dude that has some shady money and hangs around like a menacing presence. He keeps trying to recruit Luke for one thing or the other and Anakin fucking hates his guts.
Cobb and Fennec are Ferraris and Red Bulls head mechanics respectively and always share the hot gossip. Obi-Wan, who blames himself for Anakin's accident, floats around like a weird ghost and occasionally offers strange advice. There is also Ashoka who was one of the most promising drivers and used to drive with Anakin but then shit happened and she noped out.
ANYWAYS Luke has always been curious about the gruff Red Bull driver who never takes his helmet off and they have a lot of run-ins, where ppl tell Luke to stay away but he's just so intrigued. And then one night he exists his trailer and wants to get away from the attention for one night bc he's already fighting a panic attack and runs into Din with Grogu on his arm who is fleeing as well. And Luke, bless him, does not connect the fact that Din and the mysterious driver are the same person, he just sees a hot dad and is head over heels.
And Din is nice and he is gentle and funny and knows how to talk Luke out of a panic attack and it becomes somewhat of a habit for them to meet up after races and they low-key start to date all while Luke has no clue who Din is bc he only ever introduced himself as Din, but on the track they are all called by their last name so---
Well you guessed it, Luke's season is actually going fucking great, so he and Din end up being pegged as rivals and it's blown up real big and Luke doesn't mind bc it's all in good fun, but what he does mind is that Djarin is suddenly always a bit too close to him when they are standing in line to be weight? Or their hands will brush when they pass each other in the hallway?? And he'll always somehow magically be around when Luke is about to have a panic attack and he does this thing where he leans their helmets together when Luke is freaking out and look it's all rly nice and lovely and he appreciates it so much, but also he has this rly nice thing going with Din and ppl are starting to talk and he doesn't want Din to think he is dating someone else but also he's getting kinda attached to Djarin and his rly soothing voice and oh gosh
But yea anyways there are so many possibilities like
it was actually Din who pulled Luke out of the wreck when he had his accident, Luke doesn't remember bc he was out cold
news articles and tweets and stuff that talk about Skywalker's and Djarin's rivalry that eventually morph into talking about them having a secret affair
Leia telling Luke over coms to come in for a tire change and Luke absolutely refusing bc Djarin is hot on his heels and he can't lose to him while Din is watching the race
Din telling Luke he can always call him and he'll always be there, except during races and Luke is high-key sad about that bc he would love to talk to Din before the race bc he's anxious but he respects Din's boundaries etc. BUT THE REASON DIN IS UNAVAILABLE IS BC HE'S IN THE DAMN RACE
eventual shit going down when they discover that Palp is cheating or some shit
Leia absolutely losing it when she finds out Luke thinks Din and Djarin are two different people
Han

i know we're all sick of self-care being a marketing tactic now, but i don't think a lot of us have any other concept of self-care beyond what companies have tried to sell us, so i thought i'd share my favorite self-care hand out


brought to you by how mad i just got at a Target ad

Snowbaz- Slight AU Chapter One
Inspired by a post by @numptypitch
This story takes place at Watford, they still have magic and the Humdrum does not exist. Please remember that this is my first ever Snowbaz fic, as well as my first time writing any type of story on tumblr so please tell me how you like it! Thanks so much for reading and I hope you enjoy!
Simon PoV
Weeks. It’s hard to remember it’s only been weeks since the beginning of the school year. With Baz missing, it feels like it’s been forever and a half. I get anxious thinking about how weeks turn into months, and months could turn into Baz never coming back to Watford. Sometimes I wonder if he’s purposely not at school just to mess with me, but then I remember how much education mattered to his mother, and how much she mattered to him. I don’t think he’d willingly miss school unless the Old Families made him.
I bet they’re planning on overthrowing the Mage. They’ve been trying to ever since he took office. Allegedly because he can’t take care of the school and students. That’s what they say, at least.
Penny says I should stop focusing on Baz and politics and start focusing on magic and my classes. I don’t know why I listen to her, I hate magic. I’m supposed to be the best, the Chosen One, but I can’t do anything. I can’t control my power. Anyone else here would be better off as the Chosen One. Penny would be amazing. Even Baz would be bloody perfect.
Magic is the least of my problems right now; because I live in a world where my roommate is my rival.
And he’s still missing.

Baz PoV
After spending who-knows-how-long trapped by fucking numpties, pondering different (and completely improbable) ways to become Simon Snow’s boyfriend, Fiona finally rescues me. I don’t even know what to say, so I gratefully chow down in the back seat (because the front seat is for people who haven’t been kidnapped by fucking numpties).
The whole ride to Watford is silent, save for the soft sounds of whatever ‘edgy’ CD Fiona decided to play. Fiona dropped me off. I tried to thank her as I got out of the car, but she shooed me away and popped the trunk so I could grab my bags. We didn’t say goodbye to each other; we never do.
I stalled going back to our room. I was in no shape to see Snow again. I had dealt with having to think of him whilst being held captive by the scum of magical creatures. Instead of heading to the Mummers house or checking in with the staff for missed schoolwork, I head to the kitchen and grab a snack before going to the catacombs and draining a few rats. Once I’m full, I stay in ‘le tomb de enfants’ and try to think of a good excuse to tell Snow when he (inevitably) asks where I’ve been. Once I think of something half-believable, I emerge, letting myself adjust to the light again before going to unpack my bags.
A few minutes after I start unpacking, Snow and Bunce burst through the door, laughing. The moment they see me, they freeze. It takes all of my willpower to not turn to Snow, just to see his perfectly imperfect face. I’d missed him, more than I’d ever like to admit. I finished unpacking the small duffel on my bed before I finally looked up, standing straight and trying not to cry of happiness at the sight of him. Even seeing Bunce was a relief. I shouldn’t be like this, I can’t cry in front of my peers; I’m a Pitch. Pitches aren’t weak.
My shoulders fell after noticing how tired Snow looked. By this point in the year, he’s usually put on a few pounds and caught back up to where he was supposed to be, but he looked like he had just come in the door on the first day back. It broke my heart; I hope desperately this wasn’t because of me.
We all just stood there, staring. Snow looked just about to cry. I thought he’d have better self control in front of Bunce, but I was tempted to shout ‘Anathema’ when he ran across the room and tackled me. It took me a few seconds to realise that he was hugging me, and I ‘reluctantly’ returned it. Bunce looked horrified, but turned on her heels and marched out of the room, giving us privacy. I honestly thought Snow might crush me. So, to keep up appearances, I put an end to one of the best moments of my life (like an idiot).
“Are you just about done being sentimental or are we going to braid each other’s hair and talk about boys as well?” I sneered. Snow jumped off of me like I told him I have the plague, and immediately put his walls back up.
“If you ever disappear like that again, your welcome back will be a hell of a lot different, you hear?” Snow scolded me like he was my father, so I rolled my eyes the way any other moody teenage boy would. I couldn’t help but find his words endearing, no matter the threat behind them.
I know that my chances with Snow are practically nonexistent. I understand that he’s in a ‘happy’, straight relationship with a beautiful, perfect dream-girl. I get that he hates me more than I do. We could never be on friendly terms, let alone anything… more. So, I figured that it’s time for me to move on. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to be completely over Snow, but I want to be happy with someone.
That’s why I’ve decided to come out to Watford. My family already knows (even though my father isn’t thrilled, he’s still supportive of me), so I think it’s time to take the next step. Fiona gave me a small pride pin on my birthday. I’m going to stick it on my bag and wait for people to notice. It seemed simple enough, while still being effective and clear. I would be lying if I said I wasn’t nervous, but I knew that no one would dare make fun of me if they wished to keep all of their fingers. Nevertheless, little cartoon bats flurried around in my gut, blowing the intensity of such a small gesture way out of proportion. Before I could chicken out, I pricked the soft leather of my bag and pushed the pride pin through.
…
Coming out went much better than I thought possible: I burst into the dining hall, proudly sporting the colorful pin. It was small, but still big enough to be noticed. Everybody stared, a few people came up to me and told me how proud they were. I’d give them a small, tight lipped smile and thank them in return.
In my seventh class of the day, a boy with wildly curly black hair and dazzlingly blue eyes sat next to me. He was short for our age, and his ghostly pale skin was dotted with a few light freckles (not nearly as many as Snow has).
“Hey.” He murmured. His accent had a slight German influence, but his voice was smooth and steady, despite the waves of anxiety I could sense from him. “I’m Amery. Amery Hartkee.” He added, sticking his hand out for me to shake. I took it cautiously, waiting for him to continue.
“I’m Baz.” I offered, when he said nothing.
“Is Baz short for something?”
“Yeah…” I debated telling him my full name, knowing he would most likely laugh. I decided it didn’t matter, so I looked him straight right in the eye and silently challenged him. “Tyrannus Basilton Grimm-Pitch.” I said in the most stable monotone I could manage. He looked toward the front of the classroom.
“Tasteful.” He smirked, before Miss Possibelf made her way to the front of the room and started our lesson. I’d already been taught what we were learning today, so I spaced out and thought about Amery. He seemed great, and a little part of me couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to love someone beside Snow; to give my affection to someone like Amery, someone who could possibly return them. It was a tempting thought; but I think I’m getting ahead of myself.
I would be lying if I said I’d never noticed him before. It’s impossible not to, the windows shine directly to his seat, framing his dark curls and light skin. He rarely wore his uniform in class, and the pastel green jumper he wore instead hung loosely on his thin frame. There was no denying how attractive he was.
My thoughts are interrupted by a snippet of paper that was dropped on my open book. I opened the folded note to see the neat, condensed, all-caps writing of the boy next to me.
DO YOU GET ANY OF THIS CRAP?
I carefully and smoothly wrote a reply, before folding it back and handing it carefully to Amery.
My father made me take a few classes over summer to make sure I was ‘ahead of the game’… so, yes
He nibbles on the end of his pen before scribbling out a response.
MIND MEETING IN THE LIBRARY AFTER CLASS? I THINK I NEED THE HELP OF AN EXPERT ^ ~^
I smiled softly at the note, before turning and nodding to Amery. I folded the paper into a small square and stored it in my bag. It only then occurred to me that Amery might only have started talking to me because I was out.
The bell rang shrilly, dismissing us all for the day. Amery and I walked toward the hallway, idly chatting. I held in a chuckle at his wild hand gestures as he ranted excitedly about some Normal song artist that he was practically in love with.
Maybe this is the year I move on.

Not to be furiously antimodern but everything you make is art and you can minimize it all you want by calling it a hobby or a craft or a hyperfixation but it’s art because you created it and humans just make art because it’s what we do and it can’t be good or bad because it just IS and when you make art you are part of something very beautiful and very human
