(let’s be honest, Yoda knew this whole time and he’s been waiting for the perfect moment to strike)

Yoda has so many other things to do, would he even notice?

Hold on a second, in Legends Dooku gave Grievous a transfusion of Sifo-Dyas’s blood? Hello???

Bestie, noooo!

YEP! Even in Legends they were Like That!!

Dooku, so very normally, preserves Sifo-Dyas's corpse for years in a cryogenic hibernation capsule before this little fuckery with the blood. POV you're Asajj Ventress and your new boss has his dead Jedi ex's corpse on ice in his basement and is down there talking to it.

It gets funnier. This transfusion storyline appears in the comic The Eyes of Revolution, written and illustrated by Warren Fu. That happens to be the guy in Lucasfilm who won Lucas's concept art competition for what design would be General Grievous's. It was Sifo-Dyas's first visual appearance in any Star Wars media, so Warren Fu drew himself as Sifo-Dyas, as a little joke/easter egg/nod to the fact that his creative "blood" was in Grievous. Warren Fu's face is still noticeably the face of Sifo-Dyas all these years later in the more recent official art.

giving birth sucks tbh. not only do you and the baby you’re birthing almost die, usually you shit yourself and often you tear your taint. then you have to push an organ out of your body (placenta) and if even a little of that remains in your body, you can hemorrhage to death or develop an infection that essentially rots your body from the inside out. even if you had a relatively “easy birth”, you bleed for weeks on end. even after that stops, your body and brain is changed for the rest of your life, the pregnancy leeched minerals from your bones, that can cause osteoporosis later. minor urinary incontinence is not uncommon, brain scans of people who gave birth show permanent changes in their brain, you’re never quite the same.

I say all of this not to say giving birth is disgusting but it is a harrowing and visceral experience. society downplays how fucking awful it is and makes it out to be a ~magical~ experience but it isn’t a magical transformative experience for everyone. it can be an extremely traumatic experience for someone who wanted to carry a pregnancy to term, much more so for someone who did not want to be pregnant in the first place or someone who knows their baby won’t survive the birth. anyway, abortion is a right. pregnancy and birth aren’t just inconvenient, it’s fucking awful.

I Am Not Your Asian American Doll: a comic for AAPI Heritage Month 2023

I usually spend a lot of time editing and fine-tuning my comics so that they come across as polite and inoffensive. But honestly, I’m really tired of the way Asian cultures and countries are treated / talked about while Asian people themselves are excluded, and thought it was about time I really let my rage out lol.

“Fighting that leads to sex” this “fighting then making out” that

Fighting that leads nowhere. Fighting fully clothed, then dragging our tired asses out for a strong drink and some trash diner food. Not talking much. Maybe one of us breaks the silence and says ‘man, I kinda liked that’, and then the other says ‘shut up, jackass’

Not to be too lapsed Catholic on main here but I do chafe seeing non-Catholics talk about the appointment of the head of a two thousand year old oppressive institution like an actual woke option was possible but overlooked. “The new Pope covered up sexual abuse of minors” if they removed every cardinal that covered up sexual abuse of minors from the conclave the room would be empty.

Initially, I thought the whole “Luke looks like Anakin but is more like Padme; Leia looks like Padme but is more like Anakin” thing was kind of cute, but it’s become bit of a pet peeve of mine. It’s not horrible or anything like that, but it’s such an oversimplification of all four characters. And it’s not even that accurate, yet it’s become so common and is treated like indisputable canon. And I just don’t get this interpretation of them.

First of all, I want to start by stating Luke and Leia are who they are because their parents raised them to be that way. However, I know these movies are works of fiction, and when George Lucas was writing the prequels, he did so with Anakin and Padme’s children in mind. So, with that being said …

This fandom tends to treat Anakin and Padme like they’re opposites, which just isn’t true. They have a lot in common. Both are kind, brave, intelligent, stubborn, reckless, strong leaders, determined, loyal, idealistic … They love with their whole hearts, following their emotions and what they believe is right, even when common sense might dictate otherwise. And we can see these traits in BOTH Luke and Leia.

The main difference I see between Anakin and Padme is that the latter is the more rebellious one. I know TCW likes to portray Anakin as the type of Jedi who doesn’t care about the rules, but just going by the movies it really isn’t the case. Anakin is pretty subservient to those in authority, which makes sense considering he was a slave for nine years. He apologizes to Padme for disobeying orders by going to Tatooine to search for his mother. He apologizes to Obi-Wan for seemingly disappointing him for not being an ideal student. Even when he shows some defiance by arguing with the council for not being granted the rank of master, Anakin quickly submisses after a few words from Mace and a look from Obi-Wan. His marriage to Padme being an exception, Anakin just isn’t the rebellious type. Padme is though. Throughout the PT, we see her doing what she wants, and to hell what others think. The Republic isn’t going to help Naboo? Fine. She’ll save it herself. Obi-Wan’s in trouble? Well, Anakin can come with her or not because she’s going to Geonosis either way. And of course there’s her questioning the war and whether she’s on the right side and the Delegation of 2000, which should have never been cut from RotS because it added so much to Padme’s storyline. Anakin was part of the Empire’s birth, while Padme was part of the Alliance’s beginning, and I love that the Rebellion is included in Padme’s legacy. And this rebellious, defiant spirit was passed onto Luke and Leia. Luke is going to help his friends, even if Yoda and Obi-Wan thinks it’s a bad idea. And Leia is just Leia. She doesn’t care that she’s a prisoner and sentenced for execution. Tarkin and Vader are beneath her, and she’ll happily remind them of that fact.

Also, it’s kind of annoying how people associate Luke’s kindness with Padme and just forget about Anakin, who was a genuinely good person. He helps Padme, Qui-Gon, and the others when they’re stranded on Tatooine, putting his own life at risk, and not once did he stop to consider how he would benefit from the whole thing. Anakin just knew they were in trouble and he wanted to help them. And then people overlook Leia’s kindness. The girl had to watch her whole planet blow up, yet she still has enough empathy to comfort Luke after Obi-Wan’s death. But some people describe her as having anger issues like Anakin, and I’m always like WHAT anger issues?? Leia has never expressed anger in a situation where ANYONE wouldn’t be angry. And I don’t agree with the idea that Leia would be more drawn to the dark side than Luke. I see her as being similar to Padme in that they are both very strong in their convictions. They both know who they are, what they stand for, and they won’t let fear, anger, or temptation cloud that. Even when the Death Star’s laser was aimed toward Alderaan, Leia STILL had the clarity of mind to lie about the Rebellion’s location. When Leia says that she wishes she could leave with Luke in RotJ, he knows she wouldn’t even if she could, and he reminds her of that. Because Leia has always been strong, just like Padme, and neither will turn their backs on what they believe is good and right.

As for Luke, he is compared several times to Anakin in the OT, and the prequels include multiple scenes where Anakin parallels his son: his love of flying, wanting to leave Tatooine and explore the galaxy, blowing up the Trade Federation’s control ship, losing a limb and having it replaced by a cybernetic, his battle with Dooku in RotS … Lucas clearly wanted to show how Anakin and Luke’s storylines mirror each other, but Luke’s choices ultimately lead to him taking a different path than his father’s. And it’s not because Luke is a pure, innocent cinnamon roll (which he isn’t) just like Padme (which she also isn’t; let women have flaws jfc). Anakin lived the first nine years of his life as a slave, was separated from his mother only to be reunited with her a decade later when she dies in his arms, and has been groomed by Palpatine since he was a child. And due to the flaws within the Jedi Order, Anakin wasn’t able to cope with his fear and trauma in a healthy manner. Luke, on the other hand, lived a relatively normal life for nineteen years with friends, hobbies, and a loving family. And this normal life helps him cope with his own loss and trauma in a way that Anakin couldn’t. And Luke IS drawn to the dark side, and he does struggle with it because he is angry and impatient, and he hates the Emperor and Luke wishes he could just kill him because then the galaxy would be a better place. But Luke actively chooses not to give into the dark side, which is why him tossing away his lightsaber, refusing to kill Vader, and declaring himself a Jedi “like his father before him” is so important. But I still see people trying to argue how Luke’s story actually mirrors Padme’s?? Yeah, maybe in a few ways, but his similarities to Anakin play a larger part in Luke’s journey.

And I’m not saying that Leia doesn’t resemble Anakin in some ways or that Luke isn’t similar to Padme because I know that’s not true. I just don’t think how they reflect their parents is as clearcut as some make it out to be. And it’s become slightly annoying how some fans keep repeating this like a knee-jerk reaction.

Another bit of lore correction, because I forgot to do this part

Why was I so cringe, this was only a bit more than half a year back

For some reason i have made a modern disaster lineage AU

This is part 1

Next part

First we have Jocasta and Dooku:

Jocasta was born in 1920, and Dooku was born in 1922, (i used the actors birth date as reference) Dooku into a wealthy family, and Jo into a lower middle class one. Dooku is bisexual and Jo is straight

Quick disclaimer: sorry if i got anything wrong historically, corrections are welcome!

Dooku's family was pretty abusive and he had some serious problems with his sexuality, but he got a good education and managed to get away from his them

Jo started working as a nurse after school. She dated a man and had Rael at 24. Being pregnant outside of marriage was unacceptable, so the guy fled and Jocasta was sent into a maternity home. If someone is unfamiliar with them, they were horrible places for unwed mothers so they could deliver their baby in secret. They were often very isolating, verbally abusive and made women do chores. (Update: I oversimplified it, it was more brutal irl) Fortunately Jo got out of that place with Rael, but got into serious dept to survive. Soon after that she met Dooku and 1-2 years later they got married

Dooku's family repudiated him because of the marriage, so they were left with no financial support. When Rael was 6 years old. they adopted Qui-Gon. Dooku was a literature and politics teacher at a university and Jo worked 2 jobs as a librarian and a waiter so they could pay off that dept mentioned. (Ik university teachers had really good paychecks, but i need this to work)

Because of Jo working 2 jobs, it was Dooku who majorly took care of the kids and made dinner when he got home. Their relationship was really healthy compared to the norm of that time, they both took part in housework and childcare. They weren't perfect parents, and the influence of that time certainly showed on them, but they tried their very best

Also they were both smokers cuz after what they have been through who wouldn't lmao

Saw you’re taking prompts 👀

How about Sifo spending some time with one the kids he brought to the Temple himself!!

ALL YOURS BLUE! :D If this lil' fic brings you even a fraction of the joy your incredible creative works have given me, I'll be so happy. <3

“Sifo-Dyas, what do you have?” Dooku sounded suspicious, using a tone like someone rhetorically asking a pet tooka what was in its mouth. “Hm?” “Sifo. Answer me.” Sifo-Dyas held up his beverage to show his friend. “Juice?” He took a sip to demonstrate, rattling the straw. “Muja fruit. Mmm, premium.” Dooku’s frowningness increased. “What are you carrying? On your back?” “Ah,” Sifo-Dyas heaved a sigh. “The weight of my powerful yet complicated gifts?” “That’s a child.”

Hi Taj. Eeth Anon here. And I bring you a new idea.

Jocasta and Yoda.

I find the idea of Yoda having some books at least a century overdue and Jocasta is trying to finish her predecessor duty and get those books back absolutely funny.

There is no try ✨

And may the Force...

... be with you, always

My last post for a while, hope you enjoy it :3

I wanted to experiment with colors for this, and I'm actually liking the result, which is rare for most of my drawings lol (whenever I finish a piece, most of the time I'm like, bro wtf is dis it looks like poopoo)

Life is wild nowadays. I'm busy with school, and college preparation, plus, I need to lock in and practice my art skills.

Which means I can only post occasionally during winter or summer vacation. Maybe.

I thank you all those who followed, liked, and supported my stuff, it really means a lot, and I hope I can post more quality content for you guys in the future

Happy May the Fourth, everybody <3<3<3
