the experience of writing fic is writing a little ficlet about Hubert asking Edelgard for permission to be in a relationship with Ferdinand and then having to go all the way back and write a trade summit with Brigid as context. Hubert doesn't even attend the trade summit and yet here I am.

“Covid game me narcolepsy” no you fucking pervert it didn’t. You’re just a weirdo with a gross fetish. Covid didn’t make you suddenly want to fuck dead people. Keep that shit to yourself you gods damned weirdo

I have type 2 Narcolepsy. Studies have shown that serious viral infections can cause people to develop Narcolepsy if they are already genetically susceptible to having it. This includes covid. That is what happened to me.

You on the other hand might want to google the difference between Narcolepsy and Necrophilia….

I like to imagine that at least once during the clone wars someone sent a report to General Kenobi and a very tired Master Kenobi just graded it and sent it back.

magic=gay interpretation is all well and good but personally i think being gay in camelot is actually fine because uther's so focused on getting rid of magic he doesn't really care about anything else. like that politician from australia but with magic instead of crocodiles

Hiya, not sure if you were involved this year but did you know if the OTW was at Supanova this year too? I saw a spot listed on the map, but no booth in the actual alley. Either way, it was a lovely surprise seeing it last year, so thanks for having made that happen :)

We were supposed to be, but it's my fault that we weren't! I had to have emergency brain surgery instead. Terrible timing, but it wasn't the kind of thing I could control, unfortunately!

I just got The Art of Star Wars: The High Republic book, and there’s a quote from Ian McCaig I really liked.

“Here’s the thing about the Force — maybe it’s just my interpretation of it, but I thought it was something George [Lucas] told us back on The Phantom Menace: There was no light [versus] dark side of the Force. The dark side is part of the Force. What keeps it in balance is saying no to it, allowing it to do what it does, to warn and to frighten and to guide us through our dark emotions, and then you’re using all of the Force, not just one little piece, which is where the dark side always goes wrong. But what [the Jedi are] calling the light side is the entirety of the Force.”

I just like this because of the idea of some pretentious Sith going “we have embraced all of the Force while you pathetic Jedi sit around with your narrow-minded idea—“ and then there’s this guy saying “well ACTUALLY”

mildly obsessed with the idea of tcw Obi-Wan and Anakin getting thrown into the middle of the tpm final duel while exploring the trope-typical ~mysterious force temple~ and because it’s them, obviously they start arguing with no regard for anyone around them (“wait, what was that?” “This looks like—“ “—the Theed generator complex, I know. *sigh* Anakin, what was the one thing we weren’t supposed to do?” “Touch anything.” “And why, do you imagine, are we here?” “I didn’t even touch it!” “Oh no, you just knocked it over and kicked it into a wall.”) except this time the people around them are Qui-Gon, Maul, and young Obi-Wan stuck on the other side of a ray shield. Qui-Gon is very confused, Anakin is very confused, both Obi-Wans are very confused, and Maul is downright offended that his climactic duel where he gets to murder Jedi is being interrupted.

Anyways, the second tcw Obi spots Maul, he calls him by name and engages him in a sporting lightsaber duel, because, well, he’s Obi-Wan and that’s his thing. And of course, because it’s Obi-Wan, there’s horrible amounts of flirting to which Maul has absolutely no response, because, y’know, hot gingers dropping out of the sky and fighting you very familiarly while already knowing your name isn’t the sort of thing you train for in Sith school.

What this is really all working towards is Qui-Gon and Anakin standing off to the side, watching Obi-Wan fight, and Qui-Gon going “Does he normally do this?” and Anakin going “Does he… not flirt when fighting? Is this new?” and Qui-Gon having a genuine moment of ‘oh so THIS is what happens when I do stupid shit like leave my should-have-been-knighted-three-years-ago padawan in the dust without telling him anything important like ‘you should have been knighted three years ago and I’m proud of you’ and let him raise a child.’

my oldest boba fett headcanon, from before i even knew what a headcanon was, is that this man, who regularly whiled away the hours on kamino as a boy reading novels and who has a job that often requires him to do nothing more than stand around looking menacing for hours on end, definitely has an e-reader app installed on his helmet
