#( there are lizard people in star wars lol )

[justatalkingface]

what's your opinion on the big 3? When I was hyperfoxed on this series they were the thing I care Abt the most (I enjoyed season 4, obv I'd change some stuff now but I still remember it being atleast ok)

I hate how dirty they did my girl nejire, as far as I'm aware they didn't even do anything with her after the whole pagent thing she just got a small backstory about how she was sad (don't know all of it I haven't been keeping up that well w the manga)

mirios not having a quirky and having to save eri (a girl who I can't imagine would be that skilled at the age she is and has been training on lizards to give his quirk back all together, I'd imagine it taking a few more months but bnhas time is shit so) and coming back in the war arc to punch one person and then basically do noting iicr

The only decently written one was amajiki, I wish they had more going on I think they have a fun dynamic (w them helping taking care of eri and me rlly liking idk what it's called but I love the fluff it brings) :(

Lots of mixed feelings, in all honesty. Lots of mixed feelings.

I'll admit, a big part of my mixed feelings about them is they showed up as the latest, 'Stomp on Izuku's everything' at the point in the story where it was becoming obvious that there was always something stomping on Izuku, and that gave me a bad first impression on them I've never been able to shake... which isn't helped by how they're connected to the clusterfuck of Nighteye, of all people, which is kind of my whole thing with Mirio (warning; I am biased):

As a person, he's obviously nice, but as a character, basiclly his entire reason for existing was, 'give Izuku an existential crisis' and I don't think I've ever forgiven him for that, really. His entire character is just bigger, stronger, older, happier, more capable, more confident, more successful, more loved Izuku, who had a Quirk his whole life and only had to dig deep to find out how strong it, and he, was all along.

Unironically. It's....

It's a really bad look, to be blunt; he feels kind of like a bad fanfiction character written by a bad writer who wanted to put their super special OC in the story, except he's canon.

Since we've never seen him even think something unheroic, there's really nothing that distinguishes him from that impression factual statement, which, again, makes it hard for me to give a shit about him, or even remember him... which is a problem Hori seems to share, lol. It doesn't help that I loathe Sir Nighteye and that most of his development time is spent admiring him, to boot, and that his parts of the story are either empty or focused on a living plot device I can't quite like no matter how hard I try because of how blatant the emotional manipulation is about the biggest story breaking, SOD shattering plot device until Stars and Stripes showed up.

If he ever got any kind of development to flesh him out a human being rather than being either Izuku and/or a heroic archetype, it'd help, but beyond all of that his biggest personality trait is liking jokes, and that barely even comes up. Or, rather, considering both the Final Arc and his response to Bakugou's name, along with Nighteye's own tendencies, 'jokes', maybe.

He doesn't deserve it, I admit it, it's not his fault, but I just can't get past that. He also doesn't deserve to just be forgotten until his big moment of a butt joke, but... MHA, everyone. In all honesty, I'd just like him better if his entire story arc didn't exist in and as some of the worst parts of the Overhaul arc, but he's tainted by that fact.

I freely admit that I am unfairly biased against him, so take all of that with a mountain of salt.

As a side note though, god, the story doesn't seem to realize how badly Nighteye is using the poor kid; Mirio thinks Nighteye is training him because he's worthy, while Nighteye mainly seems to be doing it because he's the closest thing to an All Might clone he can get, bar him actually cloning All Might, even if he grew to like him for who he is. I'm not sure Nighteye ever thought of Mirio with just his Quirk as anything more than a temporary situation; even at the start of canon, when on his own merits he's rising to fame with how successful he is, Nighteye's overall focus is still about getting AFO into the kid.

I almost wish I could see Nighteye explaining how all of his training came down to getting All Might's Quirk, just to see MIrio react and tear Nighteye down a peg about it, except Hori's history of handling these kinds of things means he'd never be allowed to be properly offended on his own behalf, the poor bastard.

Moving on, Tamaki. Out of all of them, he's had the biggest of an on-screen story arc, and in a intellectual way his Quirk is easily the most interesting. Unfortunately, while he has a personality, it feels so bland at times that he's far easier to remember for his Quirk than who he is.

I liked his story, really, but at the time it was overshadowed by Mirio and his everything, and by the time he showed back up it was clear how irrelevant it and he was, so it was more about how (admittedly, very) cool he get his Quirk to be than it was about him, and with some brutal honesty, it's probably because his Quirk is so interesting that he even got that much focus beyond that initial arc by Hori.

And... Nejirie.

In a combat sense she's easily the best of them, really; Mirio is almost purely defensive, which limits him (especially if he's not surprising someone with it) while Tamaki's Quirk, while flexible, is so conditional in ways that can easily hold him back (we only ever see him fight with full preparation; if he's not gearing for a fight he'd be easy to ambush), and like a lot of things in the Final Arc, his big laser canon thing is.... questionable.

Nejirie, though, is just simply powerful. In a setting where everyone has one power and one main application of that power, where you either fly or blast things, but not both, she's the closest I've seen to a 'traditional' super hero, like you'd see in Marvel or DC.

At the same time, though, out of the three of them she least has a story, for obvious reasons, and it's a disgrace, really. If Hori had just spent some time on her, on the her backstory that apparently exists (yeah, I'm not sure where that is either), she could have been so interesting... but really, all she is is the Girl Teammate. Her personality traits are The Girl Teammate's personality traits. She's just The Girl Teammate stamped over all of the interesting stuff, and it's such a waste, it really is.

And finally, as a unit? The Big Three is a shiny toy that Hori forgot in the corner somewhere as soon as he got bored with it. He spent a few minutes oohing and aahing over them, focusing really hard on developing interesting powers, how they could be used, and how strong they were, only to start to lose interest as soon as those powers were established, and he was writing the three of them off before their introductory arc was even over.

List 7 comfort films and tag 7 people:

I was tagged by the always ever-awesome @missoliverstark Thanks, hon!

Twilight

Hey, man, don't judge me. 😐

😂 I can't explain it but, if I'm stressed out, I can put on the first Twilight and just chill. It is what it is. 🤷‍♀️

2. Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring

Technically, the entire trilogy fits the bill but I've literally seen Fellowship several hundred times by now. I bought the Special Edition DVD set for Fellowship before I even owned a DVD player, lol! I eventually got to the point where I could not only recite the English dialogue, I could recite the Elvish as well. This movie has been burned into my brain and I wouldn't have it any other way. 🤗

3. The Mummy (1999)

I'm not saying I've watched this movie a lot but... well, I wore out my VHS copy. The image literally faded out in places. It's one of the few, if possibly only movies that I own in 3 formats: VHS, DVD and Blu-ray. Considering how much I adore it, I'm floored that I've never actually vidded it yet. Oh well, there's still time; I mean, an Ardeth Bay tribute to "I'm Sexy and I Know It" would totally work, right? 😇

4. Ladyhawke

This one has proved redonkulously hard to find a decent transfer on DVD or Blu-ray, so I haven't seen it in ages. That said, it's another I watched SO many times on VHS and it's definitely one of the formative movies of my life. 😍

5. Beauty and the Beast

I enjoyed the live action version as well but I'll give it to the classic animated version for this reply because I've seen it more. 🤗

6. Godzilla vs Kong

Okay, so is a giant radioactive lizard and a giant gorilla beating the stuffing out of each other supposed to be a comfort movie? Probably not but it's just one I enjoy watching when I want to kinda chillax, so... 🤷‍♀️😂😉

7. Star Wars

Technically, Empire Strikes Back is the one of the original trilogy I tend to default to but I've seen A New Hope and Return of the Jedi a lot as well. Any of them just takes me back to a simpler time as well as reminds me where my love of fictional scoundrels comes from. 😉

Honorable mentions:

TRON/TRON Legacy, Labyrinth, Terminator/T2: Judgment Day, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home, Kingsglaive: Final Fantasy XV and Warm Bodies. Yes, I have weird tastes and odd ideas as to what makes a comfort movie, lol! 🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️🤷‍♀️😉

No pressure tags: @coleishere @ghostslillady @authortobenamedlater @mrtobenamedlater @sarnakhwritesthings @helplessdreamersworld @fandomdancer @brianllama

And yes, I lost count but who even cares, right? 😛😂 Also, if you're reading this and would like to share your comfort movies, I'd absolutely love for you to! Please accept this as an official tag from me! *boops your nose politely* 💖🤗

TIME TO MEET UP WITH LIZARD WIFE.

The fact that Crosshair's wrist is apparently even remotely near a small girls wrist size is hilarious to me. Eat more you skinny creature your limbs are only slightly bigger than a child's. He does say it's not an exact fit but. Close enough to work.

Wrecker doing Gonky lifts in the background is wholesome.

"The Jedi who are all dead?" is still the most 0-100 response, good job on your immediate escalation Tech. He's correct but damn.

LIZARD WIFE LIZARD WIFE

Anyway in case it wasn't clear I am extremely Pro-Cid. I love her even though she has committed crimes and betrayals. She looked really sad while doing it you see.

Tech's COMPLETE distaste for this place is hilarious. MAYBE he was ARRESTED for VIOLATING COUNTLESS HEALTH CODE REGULATIONS. It doesn't look that bad but he is Offended.

Love Omega just instantly tuning into the fact that Cid is engaged in the ancient art of 'straight up lying' while in the background everyone else discusses what their next move is if this isn't Cid's place like they didn't just walk under a big glowing sign that says "Cid's"

God bless them all

Deadly looking Crossbow: Exists

Omega: This is? for me to touch?

Nice foreshadowing to her actually getting a hold of a bow though.

I just love Cid's office full of concerning objects like said Crossbow, a mounted clone trooper helmet, and what looks distressingly like a wookiee pelt on the back of the chair. If Cid can do one thing it's design an office.

Echo is so deeply horrified by the concept of becoming a mercenary. They really were setting up the split early, it was obvious from the start that Echo wasn't going to run with this forever. It goes against everything they ARE.

Wrecker and Omega when Cid calls her the brains of the operation LOL. I love them.

Cid I love u but don't be mean to Wrecker in particular he's an angel and we're glad he's here.

The 'what's a slave trader' conversation is minorly annoying still because 'people can be sold' Omega let me tell you a story about THE ENTIRE BASIS OF THE KAMINOAN ECONOMY. Through Echo's whole explanation I'm sitting here going YOU. THAT IS YOU. YOU ARE THE PROPERTY THAT WAS BOUGHT AND SOLD AND NO ONE IS MENTIONING IT. There are points where it feels like they're just straight up not allowed to imply that while the Empire was WORSE for clones, the Republic was also very bad.

Another great moment though that shows how much Echo already doesn't fit this is when Tech helpfully fills in AS WELL AS EARN A DECENT AMOUNT OF CREDITS ONCE THE JOB IS COMPLETE and Echo sounds so damn downtrodden saying 'yeah, that too' they want to be doing good things for the sake of it not worrying about if it's going to get them paid. Tech meanwhile seems more like. You do a good thing (rescue a child) AND you get a good thing in return (the ability to eat regularly) what's there to be upset about?

Old Ord Mantell is goregoussssss

Hunter like 'I'm going to do a good job of parenting and make Omega stay with the ship' and then NOTHING HAPPENS AS PLANNED.

Truly insane that Echo was assigned to be the eyes in the sky, Echo you have one arm go climb that building right now, do it. I know they're used to having Crosshair to do this but surely secondary duty should fall on ANYONE BUT THE ONE WHO DOESN'T HAVE TWO HANDS.

Echo should by all accounts be severely injured from that fall, almost like people in Star Wars don't take fall damage.

Yes I'm going to be thinking about Tech through every one of these so SUE ME. IF THEY DIDN'T WANT ME THINKING ABOUT IT THEY SHOULD STOP SHOWING ME HIM FALLING.

Anyway after the fiasco in Cut & Run and this it is clear that losing Crosshair dramatically decreased the batch's fighting ability, almost like the family needs to be complete to truly thrive.

"I have my BEST PEOPLE (some guys and a child I met five minutes ago) ON IT"

Every food in TBB is simply some form of cylinder.

Something so sweetly domestic about Omega and Gonky on the ship she's just chilling with the family doggo who is actually a half charged brick of a droid.

Also to be fair to Omega. This time she TRIED to just stay on the ship like she was told.

I love when my faves are endangered so the entire batch being captured by slave traders is like catnip to me. Would watch a whole arc about this, I want them constantly getting hurt to protect each other please. My favorite narrative.

Once again Tech is the one to spot Omega clearly he should have been sent up the tower to be the eye in the sky.

Hunter trying to convince her NOT TO COME RESCUE THEM by insistingly shaking his head. You should already know that won't do ANYTHING Hunter.

This guys design and menacing demeanor go so hard for NO reason he's in it for like two and a half minutes tops.

Also regarding this scene, Echo going with 'the Republic outlawed slavery' is some real 'what do you mean you're being murdered that's illegal they can't do that' energy.

Leading Omega along where she needs to go via loud boasting is a great idea though.

"If you do not comply, the person next to you will pay the price" is a TERRIFYING LINE and it is happening ENTIRELY offscreen and I only know he says it because of the subtitles. More peril please.

MUCHI. GREAT HOW NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO HER IN THE ORIGINAL TRILOGY RIGHT :'D

Still one of the more attractive things Hunter's ever done and I wish we could see his face for it, you know the stare is INTENSE.

Love Wrecker's tiny thumbs up

The moment of sending Muchi off is cute, GREAT HOW NOTHING BAD HAPPENS TO MUCHI R I G H T

The last bit with Cid <3 my girl I just love a crime grandma okay, I love her. She had no reason to make life that difficult for them she just did it Because. Something is wrong with her <3

[olderthannetfic]

So I’m a Gen z-er and got into Trek about a year ago (I was raised in a pure Star Wars household, so I got zero exposure before I decided to try it out)… Funny enough what got me into DS9 was when there was a brief period of Garashir wank on your blog many, many moons ago, when I was in the middle of TNG s2 and decided I’d skip to DS9 and give it a try, because gay scaley aliens seemed right up my alley. I am supremely glad to be here, because the show plays into all my interests— including war novels, lizards, and the USSR. There’s so much fic, which is awesome, because I’m still in that wonderful honeymoon period of being perfectly satisfied and not yet driven to write my own. I’ve been watching it with my family, and my mom not only hates Garak, but also is a Gul Dukat stan and thinks he should get together with Kira, which is really funny and I almost want to tell her she’d be cancelled on tumblr for those opinions, lol.

My one complaint thus far is that the tumblr fandom, at least for DS9 and ENT, kind of… isn’t great? Most people seem to just be interested in talking about how horrible the gender politics of such-and-such episode is, or how such-and-such villain is irredeemable, and while I can understand why you would write those types of analysis, I guess I just don’t get why you would dedicate your entire fandom experience to being frustrated.

My very late take on the garashir v siskoshir wank is that a) Garak need his cloaca ate and b) Dukat is very obviously flirting with Sisko in every single episode they interact in.

--

Valid.

Also, if you want to watch TNG without your brain melting from the idea that this kept getting new seasons, skip to where Ro Laren shows up. I haven't watched since it originally aired, but my memory is that S1 is actively bad, and 2-4 are only okay.

[depressed-cowboah]

✨About Me post✨

Hello!! Welcome to my little blog!! I saw some friends do this and thought I should too.

Online you can call me Ruby, using that for ✨privacy reasons✨

Idk here’s little facts or something

She/her, but honestly I don’t care what you use!

I am a adult but please no nsfw stuff, I will block u

Training a service dog! Any posts about him will probably be tagged “Franklin”

this is a social media I like to keep to myself and not worry about irl people so I'm not sure i’ll post much about my life.

Beginner taxidermist! I work with strictly naturally deceased animals. Mostly articulate bones, but i’d love to get better at true taxidermy.

I tend to unfollow frequently when interests change, so please don't take it personally- I'm probably just not interested in whatever topic you post about anymore.

(part of my collection!)

Stuff I'm interested in and prob reblog or post about!

LOCKED TOMB!! I love the locked tomb sm. First book is called Gideon the ninth, go read it!!

Bones and skeletons! I do reblog and post about them, so if that’s something you don't like to see be warned. I try to tag all those as “tw bones”

(the warthog I articulated!)

Dogs! I love them v v much and will talk about dogs forever. English mastiffs are my favorite, i’ve had nine English and a handful of other mastiff breeds. I would love to get into showing them someday!

Reptiles! I love them so so much! I have a northern blue tongue named Walter, 2 Beardies named Herman and Dart, and a corn snake named Pyrrha. Walter is from a enthical breeder I adore and the rest are rescues! All my enclosures are bioactive.

(my children- Dart the orange Beardie, Herman the grey Beardie, Walter the skink and Pyrrha the snake

The last of us!!! Ahh I love tlou! I am one of those people that adore the second game and i’m a Abby supporter. If you hate post about her simply because of what she did at the start, I’ll block. Structured criticism is fine- I just can't stand when people violently hate her just because of that, Joel has done way worse. It was justified lol

Stranger things! I've been a fan of st since the start, it's a big comfort show for me. I named one of my lizards after our favorite little monster.

Red dead redemption!! I could talk about rdr for days dude. My user is inspired by it!

Star wars!! I'm not as into Star wars as I used to be, but I still love it- especially mandalorian.

Lastly, the MCU! Again like Star wars i’m not as into it as I was, but I still enjoy it.

Anddddd lastly

Don't interact or follow if you're a asshole. Anyone can be whatever as long as they aren't hurting themselves or others, and just be generally respectful and polite. Ty!

[spicymayo1983]

Hello. I'm still on the mend from a breakthrough covid infection that had me isolated from everyone that I care about for a couple weeks.

I'm still a little weak, food tastes and smells weird, but I'm feeling fine and testing negative.

I re-re-re watched all of the Star Wars movies, put together some awesome model kits and just basically tried to keep myself alive through this yucky illness. Lol.

This is a simple smutty story about you the femme reader, and your best friend (sometimes one with benefits) Poe Dameron, helping you fulfill certain needs after an illness had you isolated away from the people that you care most about.

Warnings, porn with a plot, unprotected sex, female receiving oral, squirting, implied breeding kink, not for anyone under 18.

Needs

You'd spent nearly 3 weeks isolated and alone after contracting a highly contagious (and usually fatal) disease from a Kowakian monkey lizard bite.

Your life as a pilot for the rebellion was an interesting but dangerous one. But with great risk came even greater rewards.

You were a member of the elite black squadron. The black leader himself, Poe Dameron, admired you as a brave pilot for the rebellion.

The two of you were close, best friends even, but your relationship with him was so much more complicated than you led on.

Poe was also, from time to time, your friend with benefits and certain privileges. He made himself, and his body, fully available to you in order to relieve sexual tension. You'd spent numerous nights in his bed, enjoying toe curling sex with that gorgeous man.

Poe was a skilled, generous lover who enjoyed giving more than receiving.

Sleepovers with Poe were the best. It wasn't just the sex but the way he held you tight in his strong arms, the way he would look at you and kiss you.

The virus nearly killed you but after a few weeks isolated in a medical unit alone you were finally symptom free and testing negative.

As soon as Poe saw you he swept you into his arms, kissed you tenderly and said,

"Y/n, it's such a relief to see you again".

You closed your eyes and took in the exquisite scent of his body and luscious hair, you were craving Poe in a sensual way due to the lack of human touch and interaction you'd endured for nearly a month.

Poe could sense your craving, he laughed a little and whispered into your ear,

"You need a sleepover at my place tonight, don't you?"

"How could you tell?" You replied with a slightly nervous laugh.

"Oh, I know". He replied, softly nibbling on your neck. "I always know".

You were as feral as a cat in heat as you began to undress him with your eyes, imagining that thick, perfect cock stretching out your tight, wet walls.

Once you were inside the confines of his private quarters the two of you took a what was supposed to be a quick shower together.

But Poe's head ended up between your legs, eating you out passionately as you straddled him.

With a wail you enjoyed a climax as his tongue flicked softly, and torturously, against your erect and swollen clit.

"Poe, P-O-E, Poe". You moaned in delight as his skilled tongue easily brought you over the edge again and again.

Once the two of you were out of the shower, and in his bed, Poe immediately spread your legs apart wide and began to use his talented mouth to pleasure you again.

His warm tongue began to gently lap at your wet, aching hole as his nose stimulated your throbbing, sensitive clit.

When Poe penetrated your slick hole with his soft yet firm tongue it proved to be too much for you and you enjoyed a wet, gushing orgasm all over his handsome face and mouth as you thrashed around in uncontrollable passion.

"I want to be inside of you". Poe moaned in ecstasy as he closed his eyes and relished in the delicious taste of your climax. "I can't take it much longer".

Your body was still tingling from pleasure as you opened your legs up wider to Poe, inviting him silently to penetrate.

Poe slowly slid his nude, unsheathed cock inside of your body, he was so lost in his own desires that he didn't think about protection.

The skin on skin feeling was so intense for both of you that you couldn't care less if you were fertile or not.

Poe pounded into your tight wetness with his thick cock, spilling his copious amount of seed deep inside of your body.

"Fuck, I meant to pull out". Poe apologized with a slight laugh as he collapsed next to you, exhausted from his own climax.

"No, you're fine". You replied with a quick laugh.

"That was a big one, with a lot of little swimmers". Poe teased with a slight smile. "Aren't you worried about, you know".....

"You impregnating me?" You teased back. "Has this happened to you before, flyboy?"

"That's classified information". Poe taunted with a slight laugh as he rolled over and kissed you, placing a protective arm around your body.

"Your face smells like pussy". You whispered into his ear with a slight laugh.

"I wonder why?" Poe whispered back.

The end

[nny11writes]

🤩😅🥺🤡🤡🤡🤡🤡💔👀

🤩 Who is your favorite character to write?

I mean, I don't think folks will be too surprised to learn it switches between Catra and Glimmer right now lol. My hidden fave that I rarely write ever is Netossa :D

😅 What's a story or scene you've created that you're a smidge embarrassed exists?

Oh god, how far are we going back here cuz I've been doing this for over 20 years now.............

Okayokayokayokayokay- SMIDGE embarrassed exists....hmmmm.

Weirdly enough, it's a ST:VOY fic I wrote forever ago called "Backwards". It was a big growth moment fic for me. At the time I was mostly posting in Voq Je Bang and was probably one of the youngest writers in there and I wanted to write a fic where B'Elanna was actually closer to Seska but it was a B7 fic to and I didn't commit to a darker tone or lighter tone or much of anything beyond my twist ending. Half the people who read it loved it and the other half wrote me very nice comments about how "The twist just wasn't for them" or confusion on build up to the twist.

At the time I was crushed but I also tried to take the writing advice to heart. Nowadays when I think about it there's a little twinge of "oh boy that sure was cringe".

I'm not outright embarrassed by anything I've written, plenty of stuff I'm not proud of but also not embrassed. Like, you can still read the very first fic I ever posted that was the LoZ:WW and HP crossover fic with a lot of questionable humor and was intended to be read as a fun fic but also a very deadly serious full game walkthrough. Which maybe I should feel embarrassed about that one but YOU CAN'T MAKE ME NANANANA BOO BOO!!!!

But also, am I going to link to either of these directly? Absolutely not. Go digging through the trash like the rest of us raccoons!

🤡 What's a line, scene, or exchange you've written that made you laugh? (but, like, 5 times in a row)

Also this got long because of course it did!

Let's Try This Again, Chapter 11, Star Wars

“Wait,” he said, brain finally catching up to what she’d actually said, “what do you mean Master Windu isn’t done?”

“There was some damages left behind after-”

“Master, you need to let her speak!” Anakin huffed.

Obi-Wan looked both sheepish and churlish. “I was just trying to help.”

“Ok, thanks, please don’t?” Anakin grumbled and looked at Ahsoka.

She grinned back at him, in what was far too evil of a manner for a child, before saying, “I don’t mind!”

“I appreciate that, but Anakin is right.” Master Obi-Wan conceded with just a hint of a stern look.

“Ok,” Ahsoka said with a shrug, “there was some damages left behind.”

When Obi-Wan snorted, Anakin buried his face in his hands. “This is serious!?”

Ahsoka pouted, “ ‘m always serious!”

2. Guardian Angel, She-Ra

“Wait, wait, wait,” Netossa holds her hands up and Catra is so grateful to not be the one explaining any of this, “You’re telling me that she is magically bonded to this alien that reflects her emotions, which (by the way) we can’t understand it AND that she can see and hear Queen Angella?”

Adora smiles awkwardly, clearly trying to act like this is a normal everyday experience that everyone has at some point. Because absolutely everyone has become mentally and emotionally bonded to an alien creature while being actively haunted by the people they’ve killed. “Yes!”

“...that new She Ra form working okay? No side effects to it?” Netossa delicately asks more towards Bow than anyone else.

3. Pink Lizard Thunderbolt Incident, Star Wars (AKA Drunk!Ahsoka has a fun night, AKA the one I spent way too much time learning Star Wars alcoholic drinks for)

“You drink one Pink Lizard and everyone becomes an asshole!”

Anakin had panicked for a hot minute while Obi-Wan had immediately sat her down. She’d been quickly forced to explain that Kix had seen her and discharged her already, no she wasn’t dying, and no they only ate through the stomach lining of humans according to the bartender.

Anakin had eventually smiled widely, far too manic for anyone’s tastes, looking between her and Obi-Wan, “We’re high tolerance drinkers! That’s our lineage tick!”

“No,” Obi-Wan tried his best to discourage the notion. “I know what you’re thinking and we should definitely not-”

“Yes!” Anakin insisted, only getting more excited, “We need to get drinks together! Now!”

“No,” Obi-Wan and Ahsoka had both insisted, but for wildly different reasons.

“But yes!” Anakin chripped far to happy and loud for anyone to enjoy as he dragged them off towards their quarters. “So what are we having, I know how to get the good stuff in here.”

“Either get me herbal tea or get me another Pink Lizard so I can die in kriffing peace!” Ahsoka snarled and tried to get her arm out from the mechno grip he’d locked her into.

Obi-Wan said, “I second the motion! Let me go Anakin!”

“Cool, I’m thinking jet juice to start then some skee’s and we’ll see how we’re feeling.” Anakin said the same way some people might imply that eating a small desert after a meal might be one step too far.

Ahsoka and Obi-Wan looked at one another in horror, mute from fear.

“How are you still alive?” She whispered staring up at her Master with new respect.

4. It's All Fun and Games Until, Chapter 1, She-Ra (why must I choose between my children on this fic?)

Glimmer held one hand up, the other rubbed at her eyes before turning to look at the final culprit.

Catra, somehow still looking bored despite the way some of her hair was actively smoldering explained, “Things went fucktangular.”

“Well, fuck.” Glimmer groaned, giving the three of them one more look. “How did you three always manage to beat us? You’re disasters when left alone. For literally FIVE MINUTES!”

“Actually, it was only four minutes and twenty three seconds we were alone. So that means we’re improving our efficiency drastically!” Entrapta cheered, bouncing on her hair while high fiving both Catra and Scorpia.

Bow restrained Glimmer by gently grasping her elbow and whispering, “Stay strong for mother.”

5. Sketchy, She-Ra

It made her feel like she was an actual fucking artist, like an old master teaching their young pupil, who they may or may not be banging on the side. So what if all her drawings looked like Princess Goddess? Fuck off, it’s not your business! Anyways, here she is as an angel and several homoerotic saints. Don’t read into it.

💔 Is there a fic of yours that broke your heart?

Declarations fucking destroyed me regularly tbh lol! There's a lot of unresolved feelings between all the characters in it, and no one ever totally gets what the others are trying to say or do. I didn't know I was autistic when I was writing it but boy howdy was it the fic I channeled a lot of negative and weird feelings from into regarding that and my anxiety and depression at the time. It was super cathartic to write at times considering the depths of mental health hell I was in at the time.

Still fucked me up and broke my heart to write this story where two people care so damn much about one another and keep missing one another by inches.

There's plenty of lovely fun stuff too, squishy soft feelings and warm fuzzies. But a lot of that fic is just getting to watch Obi-Wan and Ahsoka feel bad and try to figure out how to stop feeling bad together.

👀 Tell me about an up and coming wip please!

Okay, don't hold me to this one, we'll see what happens or if it goes anywhere at all, but I'm working on a She-Ra selkie AU based on that tumblr post where someone hands another person back their coat and whoops we're married now. Anyhow free WiP Wednesday on accident :D

~

There’s no moment where she remembers a change or transformation. Adora was always a human until she suddenly has always been a seal with fur glowing nearly golden under the sun.

“Oh.” She says because what else is there to say. It turns out Adora isn’t some crazy person.

Which means she’s exactly what she said she is.

Which means that in Catra’s rush to be nice for 2 seconds to feel better about herself, she accidentally tricked Adora into marrying her a year ago. And then abandoned her new wife who had to go hunting for her across the country. Her wife, the selkie. Her wife, who is currently a seal, but also not, but seriously she’s a seal right now.

Catra carefully lowers herself to her knees, head tilting as Adora barks at her and wobbles forward on her flippers a bit. All the whiskers on her face point forward towards her, bright blue eyes twinkling with excitement and mischief before she snorts hard enough to surprise Catra and then rolls over with what sounds suspiciously like a laugh before vanishing into the lake.

🎶

these are mostly my canon interpretations because honestly your portrayals are like almost indistinguishable from my own headcanons lol (we have the same brain yippee) and i was only able to get so many songs because i have playlists for almost all of these characters. this is gonna be a long one so bare with me bro

p.s: i did try to include explanations for the songs for your au claus but since i dont know him that well there may not be any

for lucas:

billy bibbit by san fermin

i cant explain this one that well but you'll understand when u listen lol

if all goes well by the dear hunter

i just really love this song for him (and like 2 other blonde protagonists with severe Issues), i really wanna do a lyric comic w/ specifically the "love us all in spite of what we'll do to you" lyric bc i think that really is like. him

the killing type by amanda palmer

i just think he hates killing stuff. like obviously. this song fits him really well, and the bits about killing to make someone feel are totally directed at the masked man

cheshire kitten by sj tucker

yippee bonus song!!! this one just reminds me of him being kinda Strange, esp after hinawa died. also stripes reference (fun fact: he shares this song with pokey on my playlists!!! theyre twinning!!!)

for ness:

hard times come and go by pokey lafarge

my friend gave me this song last night because of the artists name being really funny but it did actually remind me of pokey and ness so i decided to put it on my playlists

im not a dog by the pleasantries

its literally him bro. i just think he's kinda Sad sometimes. i have the matching song on my pokey playlist.

numb bears by of monsters and men

i wanted to include something happy on here, i think winning the war against giygas was a big win for him, especially with how much discouragement he got from people

for ninten:

the rainbow connection by kermit

i aint explaining this one its just him

constellations by the oh hellos

also not explaining it i dont have that many thoughts abt this one. i just think its kinda nintencore

change by steven universe

him and giegue i guess. because he's a little pollyanna.

for au claus:

a terrible ride by lizard boy

he obviously regrets like. everything that happened. especially because he lost his brother because of it

worry for naught by go child

reminds me of his general fear of how he could get caught not being the real claus (fun fact: this song is just all star by smash mouth but altered with new lyrics)

silhouette by owl city

isnt he like searching for lucas All The Time even though none of them are his. that's gotta hurt bro

[ramblingsofachristiannerd]

Ahh I love sending ask prompts!

For the writing ask game, as many as you’d like to answer: 1, 7, 9, 11, 12, 13, 17, 23, 40, 51, 73.

and i love answering prompts, so i'll go with all of them XD thank you friend ily <3333

do you know how you want the story to end when you start, or are you just stumbling through the figurative wilderness hoping to find a road?

kind of both tbh XD for long fics, i usually have an ending in mind, but the middle...is stumbling through the figurative wilderness haha. i'll generally have a rough outline, but it's still a lot of filling in. i was about halfway through Crimson and Steel before i finally had an outline for each individual chapter, but i've had the ending planned from day one

7. tell us about the plot of the first fanfic you ever wrote

i literally don't even remember, it was so long ago haha. i've been writing since i was in seventh grade filling in my little cringe notebooks, and daydreaming scenarios in my head long before that XD i think the first time i put pen to paper was star wars fanfic? it might have just been an "anakin lives" scenario i think lol

9. in an ideal world where you’re already super successful and published, would you want to see a tv or movie adaptation of your work? why or why not?

Yes! my mind is super visually-oriented, so i usually write chapters like they're episodes in a tv series anyway. if Crimson and Steel were to be adapted somehow, i think i'd like it to be animated (and the format of it works better as a tv show)

11. what’s something neat you’ve learned while doing research for something you were writing? also, how much do you worry about doing research in general?

i learned a lot about the New York irrigation system writing the Lizard chapters of Crimson and Steel XD like where the city gets most of its water and stuff. and it depends; i don't want to make a glaring error, but if i'm getting too frustrated then i remind myself that i never fact check fanfics i read anyway, so most people probably don't care. if it stops being fun, that's when to stop

12. do you ever have trouble focusing on writing? how do you get around that? 

sometimes. in my view, unless you're a professional writer, you're not on a schedule and this should be fun, so don't force it. if i don't strain myself, i usually get around to thinking about my fic anyway haha

13. talk about a writing experience that has pleasantly surprised you.

i love hearing my readers' theories! it's always pleasantly surprising to hear what they think will happen, even if it's off, and i've even occasionally been inspired by them. i love when a reader will point something out that maybe even i missed

17. what is your favorite line you've ever written?

this one hasn't been published (but i do have a WIP with it), but i still wake up in a cold sweat thinking about it: "Never think you are worth any less than all I have to give you and everything I stand to lose."

23. how do you deal with writer's block?

don't sweat it. take care of your body and mind, primarily, and the ideas will start flowing again eventually. reading fic, even if it's not in the same fandom, can also spark an idea.

40. best piece of feedback you've ever gotten.

i get told my character interactions/dialogue are decent, so that's always nice. but someone told me my fic was a blessing, and i still think about that comment :')

51. share the synopsis of a story you're working on that you haven’t published yet

oohhh...i have so many WIPs lol but i'll share a little about the third part of the 'Here to Stay' trilogy since a lot of people have been asking me about it. it sees all the characters from across the universes reunited, but there's a cosmic threat (if you read the comics you might know who) that wants the power too. shenanigans ensue

73. how do you visualize scenes? do you see it like a movie in your head, or do the words just flow?

kind of both? i visualize the scene like a movie in my head AS the words flow. it's hard to describe, i'm not that good of a writer haha

thank you again friend!

Send me more!

I love modern au. Or any “everything is fine, no one died, it’s just a fever dream” au. Half of me is thinking, damn maybe I should answer this serious- LOL HAHA no. That’s not happening. Time to crack my knuckles and let my brainworms take over again.

Once again, this is 90% crack 10% content. I want to switch up my characters from the last brainworm post but I included Kaeya and Diluc.

Diluc

Absolute pretty boy who has braincells, but only if Kaeya is not there. In his mind, Kaeya’s presence makes his room loose 40% of their common sense. He can’t prove it just yet but he’s working on it. He majors in accounting but also has a minor in marketing, logistics’ management, fia- he majors everything business related. He’s going to become the next Elon Musk through smarts or by getting the competition drunk. There can be no contest if he’s the only candidate. He’s actually a hard working guy that overworks and stresses way too much. You have daily “Diluc recharge” evenings where he just hangs onto you while you go through your day.

“Don’t fucking talk to me until I’ve had my coffee,” except there is no coffee - he drinks grape juice out of juice boxes and his only energy boost is when he meets up with you - and that’s his constant mood. So he usually only hangs around you and Jean, since she has childhood friend status and is actually an angel. By default, Lisa is added and Diluc doesn’t mind her but if he see’s Kaeya, it’s full on war paint mode. If he's not busy with work or studies, he's usually with you either in your dorm or his apartment.

He has a fanclub and he seriously hates it and tries to do everything in his power to get Ningguang to take it down. Shouldn’t this be against his rights? But she refuses for whatever reason and makes a whole speech about free will. No matter what he does, someone manages to take a picture and it get’s printed in the university’s newspaper. The only bonding time he has with Kaeya is every Monday, where they collect and burn all the universities newspapers before anyone can get their hands on it. You always bring marshmallows to make smores during their arson activities.

“When I graduate I’m going to burn this school down to the ground. That’s not a threat it’s a promise.”

Ningguang

Is secretly the leader of the Diluc fanclub - not that she likes Diluc, she’s in a questionable platonic poly marriage with you and Beidou - but it was the easiest way to gain funds for the student council. Which she is the president of, so rip Diluc the fanclub stays. Ruthless business woman I tell you. But she can run in heels so her danger factor rises by at least 20%.

Majors in social sciences and law but more specifically the political science & government. She saw the Imperial State Crown that the Queen of England wears and says yes, that’s mine now. If she’s not with Beidou and you planning on “how to infiltrate the state government just for lols”, then she’s with Keqing, Ganyu, and Zhongli discussing student council things. Should they or should they not tell the student body that they can see everyone’s search results? Sit back and relax as the school goes into chaos. 

She’s probably the scariest person on campus No, she is the scariest person on campus. She’s the scariest person on campus. But secretly she’s popping 20 aspirins just to make it through a night. She has the digestive system of steel. She still holds the title of "seriously do not try and beat her in a drinking game it's never going to happen" and that's her proudest achievement in life but sadly she can’t put it on her resume. Kaeya is still trying to beat her out of spite but so far it hasn't been working. You’re seriously concerned for her when she get’s challenged but Beidou gives you a way-to-hard slap on the back and cheers her on. If Ninngguang somehow get’s alcohol poisonings she’ll somehow find away to make a profit out of it.

"I'll let him die, I'll get the insurance money."

Kaeya

One day he chugged too much mouth wash, passed out, and somehow woke up in university majoring in law. His idea is that if he is apart of the law, he can therefore stand above it. To be fair, his only goal in life is to say “I am the manager” and he can go live the rest of his life in bliss or as a hermit. He’s secret best friends with you but wouldn't be caught dead beside you. He will stab a bitch if you ever get hurt but will still trip you on the way home. Seriously, you have no idea why people find him attractive. Your guess is it’s the eye patch or the clap of his ass cheeks that keeps alerting everyone.  

He’s apart of the newspaper club and if anyone asks: No, he has no idea who keeps taking all the newspapers and burns them in the back of the campus. Originally, he joined because he was nosy and needed to join some type of club for his resume. He sometimes feels bad for his junior assistant Amber because he keeps tricking her and says that Diluc is secretly a demon that is trying to steal all the jobs and is apart of the lizard government hell bent on eradicating the human race. He even brought out a whiteboard for this joke, he’s dedicated to his job ok? 

The type of guy to try and be humble and say his work is “okay” but will choke a bitch if anyone agrees. He tends to leave everything last minute and says that it’s his drug since actual drugs could land you one year in prison and a maximum penalty of $2,000. You have to awkwardly hold in your concerned mother head shake when you see him speed running his assignment literally right when the professor is walking around to check if students finished. 

“I was taught how to lead not to read.”

Mona

Broke wallet #2. Zhongli is broke wallet #1 but Childe simps for him so is he really a broke wallet at this point? In this essay, I Mona Megistus, will explain why I have the rights to the title “Broke Wallet #1″...

Believes that astrology should be an actual career path but refuses to take astronomy as her major. I can read the stars not a textbook that tells me how to calculate the mass of the sun divided by the fucks I give. Instead she went into Philosophy and cries to Albedo, who is an actual prodigy genius- sir lend some braincells to everyone else please?, that her professor keep turning her paper down because “star reading” is not an academic source.

Fischl wants her to join the occult club because, surprisingly, Mona is very good at telling people’s fates through her crayon sketch ouija board. She thinks first year Fischl is cute but is put off by the cosplay roleplay that she has going on. She would join except that stupid hat wearing gremlin in her lit class would make fun of her if he found out.

You gave her half your lunch one day and bought her a doughnut "because she seemed upset" and "out of the goodness of your heart" whatever the hell that means. She thinks you pensioned it but once that thought comes she takes a bite. Poison from a doughnut is not the worst way to go out, classes are hard enough. She’s waiting for the lord to strike her down anyways. 

“Its not about passing, its about doing better than everyone else.”

Venti

Slept through most of highschool and people question how he got into university. He’s a music major (wow how fucking original is that), and if anyone asks him to serenade someone or just do anything, he’ll do it for the right price. Or if you buy him alcohol because he still keeps getting ID checked. He’s banking on Kaeya actually becoming a lawyer or being on good terms with Diluc so he can finally stop being arrested for looking like a toddler.

Takes one step into classes and quickly nopes out and goes back to bed. Professors have no idea how he hasn't dropped out or failed. He just has some god given talent. He does whine at you to pretty pretty please with a cherry on top tutor him because you're such an angel and would never leave your poor but awesome best friend hanging right? He needs to get this essay down but how he is suppose to explain how the number 10 is symbolic and connects to the universe or the meaning of life. Do you think he can just say it’s apart of his culture and make up some random myth to pretend it looks like he knows what he’s doing? 

He’s honestly going with the flow and put his brain on the back burner all of highschool and only now realizes wait, I actually have to use my brain?

He’s been banned from most club chats since Venti has the no chill card. Someone says “lol I look ugly today.” and he’ll respond "yup, you look like a cow." and he get’s banned. Zhongli keeps a speed run timer on his phone just to document these occasions.

"Sad spelled backwards is das and das how it be sometimes."

Childe

An actual dumbass that somehow does well. He eats sandwiches with the crust off, this heathen. Surprisingly he’s studying to become a physical therapist but most of his experience has come from breaking his own bones. You’re scared how he's going to be if he actually becomes a therapist. If he'll make bets with his patients or try to one up whatever crazy injury they get into. Everything is a challenge to him that sometimes the best way to deal with Childe is to knock him out. 

This man really knows the way to a Zhongli’s woman's heart. Through micro transactions. Mona saw him accidently drop $20 and just shrugged and walked off. She has never been both spiritually and physically offended in her life. She did take the $20 though. As much as you hate leeching on Chile when he’s basically a walking wallet that probably uses bills as tissue paper, you can’t help but give him puppy eyes while planning on how to get into his will. If he even plans on having one, he might honestly write “whoever wins in a gladiator style duel in my funeral’s tournament, they will get my fortune.”. 

Any sport the university offers Childe is probably in it. Which is how he met Zhongli, challenged him to a fight, proceeded to have his ass handed to him, got a backhanded compliment, and screamed to you he was in love and how he found his soulmate. He's secretly very sappy and has cried and watched every Disney and Pixar movie at least 28 times.

"IM NOT TOO SPICY! I’M A TINY BIT ABOVE MILD IF ANYTHING!”

---

God if it isn’t Scaramouche, it’s Childe that ruins the aesthetic. This is why I hate you. Why do you people enable me like this, it isn’t even good. This is pretty much a @ yourself moment and I vibe hard with Venti. This entire post was just to make a joke about the clap of Kaeya’s ass cheeks alerting the guards.

This week might slow down since I have classes and assignments. My reply’s are gonna be late too, sorry;; (oh and thank you to everyone that was so supportive and nice when I mentioned it. All of you. Beautiful 💕💕 )

[mithrandirl]

Temuera Morrison, and thus Boba Fett, are Māori. This isn’t some white person coming in and saving the natives. Look at how much Māori influence there is with the Tuskens, how they fight, the gaffi sticks, the Haka dance around the fire. Boba is connecting with their culture, he - played by Polynesian man - connects with the notion of Indigeous heritage and land ownership. Temuera actively pushed to have these Māori elements present.

I’ll be honest with you, I had trouble answering this. First because this is so far removed from what the post you’re presumably referencing was about, and second because I don’t actually disagree with you on a lot of this. Temuera Morrison is Māori and his portrayal of Boba Fett in TBOBF is including elements of his Māori culture. And I think that’s great, honestly. I think you expected me to disagree?? Regardless, because I haven’t seen anyone give a good-faith answer to my actual problem with the show, I will attempt to answer your straw man logical fallacy.

I don’t know how to put this other than… non-white people can do not great things and be portrayed in media doing not great things and it is still… not great… It isn’t just white people. And it feels silly to feel like I have to say this, but I am not (fully) white lol. And I also don’t know how to say this and have it feel like I’m not explaining that the sky is blue, but non-white people can also be considered outsiders in other cultures. Just because Temuera Morrison is not white, does not mean his character can’t fulfill the role of an outsider in this narrative…. Which he explicitly does. Boba Fett isn’t Tusken, isn’t from Tatooine, and he actually used to be on the side of slavers and drug runners, the people who are actively in opposition to the Tuskens in TBOBF. The people who colonized Tatooine and have made the lives of the Tuskens hell. Boba Fett didn’t start that and can’t be blamed for the colonization of the planet, of course, but he was a part of the continued enforcement of non-native power in a foreign land.

(The original post btw said that if a narrative outsider, i.e. Boba Fett, is the one to in any way “give” the Tuskens their land and/or power back by the show’s end, that is a bad choice for the show to go with because it implies that the Tuskens are unable do that without help from an outsider. We still do not have any names of Tuskens shown on screen, any agency at all really beyond either inflicting violence or doing seemingly avoidable actions that end up with violence inflicted on them (the Tusken child taking prisoners out on their own and getting attacked by the centaur lizard, the train going through their land presumably multiple times and killing many of their people but their only solution is to hide ineffectually and still get killed before Boba shows up…) If we’re gonna have a Star Wars show about indigenous rights, why are we seeing the show from the perspective of anyone but those indigenous people ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Again, this is just the Last Samurai and every other piece of media with the plot of the brave yet flawed hero living amongst a society that he had previously viewed as so othered as to question their humanity and discovering the beauty in their ancient traditions……)

So, back to the misdirection in the argument! If the Tuskens’ culture as we are seeing in TBOBF was just modeled after Māori—Fine! Great! Love it! And I love that Morrison is now getting to show a part of his culture that he obviously cares about deeply! I truly do. Modern popular culture, and especially North American and European audiences do not have much exposure to Māori influence.

My problem is that for some reason we are being shown this as if Māori culture is equivalent to Tusken culture in the Star Wars universe, and Boba Fett is therefore the outsider. Here’s where the logic falls apart for me. The Tuskens are already based on a real-life culture: the Bedouin people of North Africa. George Lucas is quoted as saying this several times--I am not going to include a link because a simple google search gives paaages of results. From the very beginning, this has been their real-life equivalent. It was a racist, fearmongering depiction then, but it was always meant to be understood that’s who these people were portraying. I’m not going to get into all the parallels because whole articles and analyses have done that.

To see that first the Mandalorian and now TBOBF are trying to show Tuskens positively but, especially in the latter’s case, erase or mitigate the influence of Bedouin and African culture to do that? That’s the part that doesn’t sit right. It’s the Disney version of an apology, which is to say, not an apology. They’re saying, yeah we messed up by being so bad and one-dimensional in our portrayals of Tuskens before, so we’re just not going to mention that and retcon their entire basis so maybe it looks like they weren’t a racist stereotype to begin with and maybe they were actually something completely different. (And if Bedouin is so easily replaced by Māori culture, were either of the depictions good in the first place? I know the answer in regard to Bedouin people.) And yet the Tuskens still torture and starve prisoners seemingly for no reason and get killed in droves without much heartbreak except for one scene in this latest episode, so is it really that positive now anyway?

And the ‘cultural’ things they showed in this last episode…. I’ll just say it felt like this could have been made shot for shot in the 90s and it would’ve been hailed as the latest great depiction of non-American culture. It is watered down; it is derivative of every other media featuring “indigenous otherness” as perceived by an outsider. The most blatant example for me is the lizard in the brain to induce hallucinations to find a spiritual symbol = using peyote or ayahuasca to go on “spirit quests” important to the outsider main character’s narrative journey.

That’s what it boils down to, for me. The show is about Boba Fett. Boba Fett is not native to Tatooine or the Tusken culture in the narrative universe he occupies. And yet this might also be a show about indigenous rights. Those do not go together. Do one or do the other. To do both however is an insult to the latter.

Signed, a person whose native country is currently in revolution, essentially because of a clash with decades old imperial rule :)

Where is my one flawed but true main character man to save my people’s rights while he learns the true meaning of life along the way? lol

BOBF chapter 2: The Tribes of Tatooine

**SPOILERS AHEAD**

Boy there’s nothing at all around the palace huh like it’s just out there in the desert all alone

Oh damn he’s hardcore calling your bluff

The Order of the Night Wind huh

“Overpriced, you’re paying for the name”

“They’re just people, in hoods” lol Fennec throwing professional shade

There’s no rancor down there guys come on

Of course the Mayor sent him

Fennec is so smug it’s great

Nice title

The CGI for some of the aliens is slightly off why not more practical effects

“Do you have an appointment?”

So what I’m getting from this is Jabba ruled by fear and Fortuna just let the whole place turn into a slightly quirky very casual “I sit here and look impressive, you pay me and do whatever else you want” situation

Is only Mos Espa this way?? It seems like everywhere else on Tatooine is still kinda intense

They’re gonna keep poking fun at his lack of litter

“You know damn well who” badass

Oh?? Wait?? So the…? The Hutts??

“I am not a bounty hunter” yeah since when babe?

The out of touch with the planet vibes increase.

The twins??

What twins???

ARE WE GONNA GET HUTTS??

oh god they’re so gross and so CGI

And they came on a litter lol

Well, this complicates things

What the fuck that is one badass looking Wookiee

Boba hon you got your ass kicked by assassins like this morning maybe being like “kill me” isn’t the best idea rn

Masiiiiiiifs

Krayt???

Oh no!!! Who are these people what’s happening?

Boba saving the Tuskens I’m so soft

Who and what the fuck is happening

This is saaaad :(

Boba honey you just learned to use that stick

Not that I don’t think you can do it

These are the same guys that attacked that farmer

RIP Tatooine man

Also tho I object to it being aliens hurting humans only

Fuck ‘em up Boba!

Oops broke the gun

YEEEEESS

That…. Didn’t stop the train tho?

I’m confused

Like we’re the speeder gang driving the train or something?

Lmaoooo

Oh okay thanks for clearing that up

Ready for a comedic sequence of Boba teaching drivers Ed?

I think the vibe that loses me is an odd lack of tension? Idk still figuring it out.

Boba forming his own space biker gang lol

He should let the Tuskens move into the palace with him just for company

I do love watching him earn their respect tho

BE CAREFUL LITTLE CHILD

If the cool lady (?) whose been teaching him to fight dies I will fight someone

Dear Tuskens why don’t you just?? Hide behind the dunes where they can’t hit you?

RUN BABY RUN HIDE!

YEAHHHHH MAKE THOSE SHOTS

A train heist is a new Star Wars experience for me

Also tho really drives home why the Tuskens are so violent, it’s definitely like Din said; they’re brutal but so is the place they come from.

Ma’am(?) please be careful!!

I adore her what a badass

Train gonna go boom

Oh never mind train go crash

It’s not quite a Krayt dragon but it’s basically the size of one so it counts

“Like that” lol

Boba said Tusken rights

“Your lives are a gesture of our civility” is such a badass line??

oh damn that’s a lot of water to accidentally waste

“A gift? Why?” Boba

A lizard?

lol same thought

EW OH GOD

“I think I swallowed it”

That’s uncomfy

Ohhhh the armor flashbacks

This is trippy and I’m not sure I’m wholly down for it in terms of “native tribe has weird mystic hallucination ritual” like every show in the 90s involving Native Americans? Idk maybe I’m overthinking.

STOP with the childhood flashbacks!

Did he… actually wander out into the desert??

And find a tree branch??

Mmm yeah I’m both confused and slightly… not vibing? Idk hmmm.

STOP with the lizard

Awww nice he gets robes now welcome to the Tribe officially

At least we know now he got his badass look from TM

Building his own gaffi stick?? Awesome!

Oh I’m here for this tho someone people tell me this is some Māori inspired dancing happening here?

Nice.

Tho I wanna know why the assassin said the mayor sent him like there didn’t seem to be any reason for that aside from moving the plot forwards

Additional thoughts:

Yeah okay so I think the reason the vibes are off for me is the lack of tension and also some tonal dissonance? Like, the Hutts show up and that’s great! We have tension! We have someone for Boba to really square up against!

But then we lose the tension built there by immediately flashing back to the past and hanging with the Tuskens for the rest of the episode. Which had its own tension in the train scene, which was neet, but honestly it really just leaves the “present day” stuff lacking.

As for the tone, it’s pretty great in the Tusken scenes (the minimal dialogue helps I think?). But in “present day” it’s so all over the place. Boba and Fennec are dead serious and everyone else looks at them and treats them like they’re just weirdos. Or patronizing, like Boba and Fennec are silly children playing Crime while the grownups pat their heads and say “oh course, honey, you’re just sooo scary”.

Honestly when they went in to see the mayor and got the “do you have an appointment” joke my brain flashed back to the “they don’t even have dental” scene in Shrek 2 which is not the feel I would have expected from this show.

Idk it just doesn’t feel quite natural to me yet. I’m enjoying it don’t get me wrong!! Just something is slightly out of sync with the whole thing. The humor vs serious tones need a better balance.

Over Your Shoulder

Pairing: Paz Viszla x f!Reader

You're used to working for others. As a freelance armstech, you flit from contract to contract, never staying too long in one place. Although the freelancer life is fun, you kind of wish you could trade it all for a little bit of stability. As the maker would have it, that stability shows up in the form of one (1) Paz Viszla.

Tags/Warnings: nothing right now, but future loving degradation, Good Communication Is My Kink, daddy kink, and other sexy consensual shenangians. Reader has slight self esteem issues.

Notes: I haven’t written for fun in forever, but new year new me! If you know me in real life never bring this up because I will combust lol. I was going to fire off a brief smutty one-shot pwp thing but of course I couldn’t resist adding ~ b a c k s t o r y ~ so here you go. Subsequent updates will probably just be pwp.

Chapter 1: All The Grass is Greener Everywhere You Look

Nervousness, you assumed, was a regular feeling for anyone who was newly married. Doubly so for the new spouse of a Mandalorian. Unlike the rest of the galaxy where marriage vows were somewhat loose, Mandalorians took their vows very seriously. Forever, generally meant, forever.

Your relationship with Paz Viszla was strange in and of itself. As a freelance armstech, you hopped from planet to planet offering your repair services, never staying in any one place for too long. While on Bothawui, you had let slip to a client that you were headed to Nevarro next. Greef Karga, the head of the Guild, had put you on a retainer for services to guild members for a few cycles. The pay was good, and he had promised you a steady supply of commissions from the local bounty hunters who frequented Nevarro in need of new weapons and repairs on top of the already nice stipend.

The Bothan, a short humanoid by the name of Eesk, perked up when you mentioned Nevarro, and the next day he came over as you were on your way to the spaceport.

“Can I ask a favor? Do you mind making a delivery for me while on Nevarro?” he asked, pulling a datapad out from his robes.

You looked up, eyes narrowing. Bothans were famous for their information network, and were instrumental to the destruction of the first Death Star, but still, you were understandably nervous. “ Eesk, I’m not interested in looking for trouble. I don’t need the New Republic or any Imp remnant breathing down my neck for delivering that for you,” you said.

Eesk laughed, “Relax, I promise you this isn’t serious. Just deliver this to a Mandalorian on Nevarro. It’s nothing classified, I’m just returning a favor for a friend,”. He slid over a stack of credits. “I’d take it to him myself, but unfortunately I’m held up on New Republic business”.

You reached over and tucked the datapad into your bag along with the credits, “Fine, but you owe me”.

“Next time you’re here, drinks on me.” he said as he walked away.

It was only until you had boarded the transport ship that you realized Eesk had never actually told you were to meet this Mandalorian. ‘Oh well,’ you thought, ‘he’s not getting these credits back’. You leaned your head against the wall of the ship, tired from hauling all of your luggage to the spaceport, and fell asleep.

You were three standard weeks into your contract with Greef Karga and the Guild, and still no Mandalorian had shown up to collect the datapad. It was nice to be somewhat settled in one place for longer than a week, and you had enjoyed the steady stream of work. You had also learned from Karga that the Mandalorian covert scattered from Nevarro, and he hadn’t seen one in a while. For all of their information trafficking and spy network, perhaps Eesk had gotten it wrong for once, and you didn’t really care to ask. After all, it would be nigh impossible to miss a person wearing head to toe armor, especially on Nevarro.

One morning, as you had returned from your walk to the lava plains, you discovered the door to your apartment was unlocked. Strange. Not a good sign. None of your alarms were triggered either. Carefully, you pulled your blaster out its holster before quietly pushing the door open.

“There you are. Been looking all over for you.”

A large man, clad in blue armor and covered in more weapons per square inch that any other being you had ever seen, sat next to your workstation. Despite the blaster pointed at him, he seemed unperturbed, posture open and relaxed.

“What do you want?” you asked, blaster raised, "You picked the wrong house to rob,". You had fended off your fair share of robberies, the expensive equipment you lugged around as an armstech was attractive to petty thieves, and not cheap.

“The datapad.” he said.

“I take it you’re the Mandalorian that Eesk spoke about.”

“Correct,”.

You rummage through your toolkit and dust off the datapad. “Here you go Mr. Mandalorian, although I suggest next time you knock during business hours. Breaking and entering is reserved for long term partners, and you haven’t even bought me a drink yet”. You wince a little inwardly, maybe this dry spell was affecting you more than you thought.

You tap the edge of the datapad on the Mandalorian’s chest plate. “Oh and you might want to get the blaster strapped to your thigh checked, those scorch marks are usually a bad sign,”.

The blue hunk of armor stood up and took the datapad from you. “Thank you for this,” he rumbled before heading out the door.

“Ah, so you do have manners,” you teased before moving to shut the door.

You can’t see the expression on his face, but you hear the huff of a laugh through his modulator accompanied with a shake of his shoulders.

You were pretty sure you’d never see him again.

Wrong.

The next day right as you returned from dropping off a box of repaired pistols, there he was again, blue armor and blank expressionless helmet, sitting in the same spot next to your workstation.

“Can you fix it?” he asked.

You gaped at him for a second, before remembering the comment you made yesterday. “I can take a look,”. You cross over to your workstation, turning on the light and the magnifying glass and grabbing your toolkit. It was an easy but time-consuming fix, and you quickly busied yourself with disassembling the rifle.

“You’re not from Nevarro,”. A question, posed as a statement.

You didn’t look up, “Nope, I’m just passing through.” Hmm, that power cell did not look too good.

“Where is home for you?”

“Nowhere,” you said matter-of-factly as you tinkered away, “Like most people, the Clone Wars and the Empire destroyed what little of a childhood I had. Got taken in by a kind armstech who taught me the trade, and now I hop from planet to planet making a living. What about you? I heard about what happened to the Mandalorians on this planet,”.

“Also nowhere,” the man grunted, and he remained quiet. You finished your work, and handed him the blaster, butt end first.

“You owe me two drinks now, breaking into my place like that.”

He took the blaster from you, two gloved finger tips drawing a line from the middle of your forearm down your wrist. An unnecessary movement, he could’ve just taken the blaster. You gulped. He put the gun back in its holster and leaned forward.

“I might, if you ask nicely. I saw the way you sized me up the first time,”.

You swallowed, mouth going dry. “It’s uh, part of my line of work. Gotta make sure everyone’s packing-- I mean, everyone’s weapons are in tip top shape.” Your stupid lizard brain, at it again.

He cocked his head to the side, “I’m sure it is,” the mirth evident in his tone.

Every evening thereafter, the blue Mandalorian showed up at your doorstep, a new weapon in hand for you to look at. It was nice, you had to admit to yourself. A consistency in your otherwise inconsistent life, and you grew to enjoy his company. What you couldn’t handle however, was the escalating tension between the two of you. He would occasionally stand behind you, his big, all-encompassing frame brushing up against your back, and lean over you to ask about this or that. The first time you thought it was an accident, but then he followed up with an oh-so-casual touch of your wrist, and you were pretty sure it was on purpose, but you also couldn’t tell if that was wishful thinking on your part. Occasionally the two of you would strike up a conversation, but for the most part he sat in a comfortable silence while you worked. When he came over the fourth night, large gattling gun in tow, you decided it was high time to try to get to know him better.

“Uh...would you like to stay for dinner?”, eyes looking down on the (ancient) gattling gun, trying to keep your voice light.

He paused and shook his head “I can’t,”.

Oh, an immediate shut down. Great. Well it was worth a shot.

“Not for the reason you think. I can’t remove my helmet in the presence of others, that’s part of the creed,”.

That made a lot of sense. You hadn’t come across many Mandalorians in your travels, but all of them were rather cagey about their armor and helmet. You had assumed it was due to the value of beskar, but this was the first time you had heard about this creed.

You looked up at him. “Don’t you ever get lonely?” you blurted out, the words forming on your tongue before your brain could shut you down. “Nevermind-- I’m sorry I-”

He interjected, “Sometimes. There are some exceptions though,”.

You leaned forward. “Such as?”.

A pause. He stepped forward, tipping your chin up with a finger.

“ Would you care to find out?”

Ch 2 here

[forsakenbysinnoh]

Random Headcannons for the Demon Bros that no one asked for.

~Lucifer~

Lucifer never refers to God by name, only ever saying "He" or "My Father".

Despite how he may act, he's proud of his brothers, of their independence and strength. His pact mark reflects that, his own star surrounded by the six of his brothers.

With that, he can also be very worried about his brothers. Being an avatar of a sin is a title that can be won. He makes sure no other demons besides his brothers hold that title.

He has a dark sense of humor that can go unnoticed or be mistaken as threats.

Despite his reputation of being controlling, he's actually rather tired of it. He was forced into this position to protect his loved ones, and to try to figure out how to function after losing the war. Sometimes a part of him wants to be told what hes supposed to do, rather than deal with the mess of making it up as he goes along.

The most scarred of the brothers, especially along his chest and back. When he has to, he hides it with illusions, otherwise he doesn't show his skin.

Takes his debts and what he owes people very seriously. It's why he rarely asks for help even in small things.

Is the only one who can force a pact on an unwilling participant.

Isn't afraid of being controlled, but is scared of losing control to the wrong person or partner. It takes a lot of trust to let him drop the reins in a relationship.

Despite turning into a wolf in the 'Paws and Claws' event, I think the best animal to represent him would be a black unicorn.

~Mammon~

Mammon can be kind of a choosing beggar.

Forgets to be empathetic sometimes and can say some callus things. Sometimes it's good as he can be an outside observer in a situation and see things objectively.

His schemes are mainly to pay off debts. No one is quite sure where he keeps accumulating so many from.

Many people call him a coward, but in reality he's a pacifist. He'd rather run than fight.

Unless you get him hot headed, in which case the gloves are off.

Despite this, he's actually one of the most powerful brothers and can usually win a fight with anyone but Lucifer.

Very agile. Is a natural at parkor and free running.

He doesn't have a high opinion of himself, and his self esteem is in the garbage.

Def has a praise kink tho.

If he's really mad at you, he'll pretend you don't exist. He's not one to get into screaming fights, but he's passive aggressive.

I think a golden dragon with a hoarding tendency fits him well lol

~Leviathan~

He's a big nerd. King of nerds. Absolutely owns it.

Levi actually draws a lot of fanart but never shows it to anyone. He's very jealous of others talent and considers his own art bad.

Def has the Devildom equivalent of Tumblr.

Sometimes can be a fandom gatekeeper/hipster. Likely stems from a place of "I liked this before it was popular and got ridiculed for it. Now it's cool and you're taking over my interest."

Super long theories on current shows with in-depth analysis and pulling info from anywhere he can. Be prepared for his cork board on FNAF.

Sometimes Levi forgets other people have feelings too, especially when he's excited about something, and hurts them by accident. Usually goes back to apologize later when he realizes.

Loves to listen to someone nerd out, even if he's not interested in their interest, he likes them and how passionate about.

He's memorized the TSL books and movies. They are his biggest passion and he loves them so much.

He's a self shipper, ships himself with his favorite wifus and husbandos (he has both) and takes those "which character are you?" Quizzes all the time.

Knows how to code and hopes to make his own game one day.

Snake tends to be the go to for Levi, and I think a lizard or another reptile makes sense. They tend to scurry away from most creature, except for those like them.

~Satan~

(My boy so I might be a little biased/rambling here)

Satan was made after Lucifer lost the war, but he started growing in Lucifer's heart before then.

Satan is the only demon/angel that was not made by God directly, and he feels that effects his relationship with others.

He's not good at empathy, and it's a skill he's still working on.

Satan was the serpent in the garden who caused Eve to fall. He thought it was very unfair that God would refuse humanity knowledge, the one thing that he values above all else.

As he was developing/learning from each of his brothers, they each gave him an item that was important to him that he still keeps. Even Lucifer.

Keeps control of his emotions which can lead to violent outbursts if pushed far enough. No one has seen him completely unhinged except Lucifer.

Loves adventure books/series, especially long ones with intricate plots. Murder mysteries are his absolute favorite. Dislikes the 'Love triangle' trope a LOT.

Likes to listen and create stories.

Very magically adept. He knows many advanced spells and always has a hunger to learn more. Probably has made quite a few spells himself.

Cat. He's a cat. There was no competition here. His spirit animal is a kitty and I love him for it.

~Asmodeus~

Asmo, despite being the avatar of lust, cares about consent a lot. He wants his partners to feel good when they're with him, not like they're afraid or helpless.

Well, unless that's your thing, in which case he'll make sure a safe word is in use ;)

Knows a lot about sex. If you have any question he will be happy to answer it without making it seem awkward or taboo. Though he will flirt and offer to show you himself.

He's very confident in his body and looks. Asmo knows he's a catch and good looking, and wants to keep it that way.

Doesn't mind showing off his scars from the war and wishes he could help Lucifer with his perception of his scars.

He will NOT have anyone body shamed in his presence.

Has ALL the gossip. He knows who's sleeping with who, what relationship drama is going down where, and keeps up with it daily.

Gender roles? Who is she? Being beautiful is for anyone.

He shows affection through touch. This makes him come off a bit needy and he tends to invade other's spaces.

There's more to lust than just sex though, it's pure, unrestrained desire. Desire to learn, to hurt, to take revenge, to love and be loved. He can sense someone's deepest desires and loves to bring that to the surface.

This is why Satan is one of his favorite brothers, there's a lot of pure emotion in him that he keeps covered up.

I think a Siren would fit him best, able to draw out what people desire the most.

~Beelzebub~

Beel has a soft heart. He cares a lot for his family, even when he's mad at them.

His kindness has gotten other demons trying to take advantage of him, which is why he tries to hide it behind a facade of being a big brute.

He's a cuddler. Beel is touch starved and wants nothing more than just to hold someone close and know they love him.

Nightmares are a constant struggle for him. He still blames himself for Lilith's death and not being strong enough.

Unless Belphie is around, Beel has a hard time sleeping.

Like Mammon, Beel a pacifist, though he's usually a little more willing to throw his weight around when needed.

When Lucifer isn't around, Beel is the one to try and get his brother's on the same page. If it's a lost cause he'll just leave for some comfort food.

Unless it's a serious matter, in which case it'll be one of the few occasions he yells.

Is self conscious about the food he eats and how everyone sees him as just the big grunt who loves to eat.

Beel is basically a pitbull. He seems scary and dangerous on the outside, but really he's just a teddy bear.

~Belphagor (spoilers)~

(I'm still a little salty that Belphie here killed me. Just as a warning lol)

Belphie's powers include sleeplessness and inducing a weekend nap. He either never sleeps or is sleeping for several hours.

I don't know why but I'm betting he'd be good at Uno.

Hates being confronted by his mistakes, would rather pretend they didn't happen in the first place

Asks for piggie back rides from Beel when he's too tired to walk.

He's the only one who can get Beel to sleep without nightmares. No one is quite sure if that's cause of his powers, or if he just is good at comforting his brother.

I see him as being good at poems. Soothing words that have a rhythm to them. You listen to him speak and before you know it you're asleep.

He brushes off most kindness as fake and doesn't trust anyone.

The most comfortable hoodie. Hugs are warm and soft.

Animal: a small fluffy cow. You know the ones I'm talking about. Fluff central.

[firstofficerwiggles]

Hello hello!! Happy early birthday!!!! 🥺 I hope the universe treats you well and sends pleasant little things your way <3

Before I start ranting I’m going to say, I talk non-stop and I’m sorry lol

I’m 5’7, non-binary (they/them), pansexual, I have short, soft, dirty blonde hair, icy blue eyes, and I’m practically see through lol (I get no sun✨) I’m average weight and secretly strong >:) My hobbies include skateboarding, drawing, reading (horror mostly), playing video games, going on hikes/mountain bike rides, practicing karate & Iiado (a form of Japanese swordsmanship), kickboxing, photography, and spoiling my lizards & dog 😌 I hate being busy, but tbh, I can’t live without it- Ok onto my personality! I’m a very energetic and friendly person. People I’m extremely clever, I just call it being observant. To me that means figuring out someone’s personality when I first meet them, I won’t trust you until I know you (woohoo trust issues 😭) Of course, if I like you then you have a friend forever! I’m very caring and empathise with people easily, the “group therapist”. I consider myself a leader because I make sure everyone around me and in my friend group are okay, I keep all of us together :) I’m very protective of my friends and will not hesitate to drop everything just to help them out or defend them. I can be sort of a spitfire at times, even if people aren’t rude to me, but are to others, I’ll snap at them and put them in their place. I try my best to be nice to everyone, but people who are rude for no reason I have zero patience for. I promise I’m nice! I’m just aggressively caring 😭 Other things about me? Uhm hmmmm I make weird squeaks sometimes, I’m oddly flexible, I’ve walked past people without them noticing(?), and my alignment according to my best friend is chaotic good 🥲👍

I ship you with… Marshal Commander Cody!!

You are a Jedi knight and while General Kenobi is placed on a special mission, you are sent to be the acting General for the 212th. Now everyone has always speculated about Cody and Obi-Wan as a couple but turns out those are just rumors. In fact, Cody is clear to tell you that, even going so far as to emphasize several times during the conversation that he is single. At the time, you simply smile at him and nod, but you take note of the way his face lights up when he speaks to you and how excited he seems to be to meet you. As the days continue, Cody’s interest in you grows, he compliments you on your battle strategies, your ability to handle your lightsaber, and your fearless determination during a fight, and once he let it slip that he finds you very attractive. One day, it’s later in the evening and he decides to bring you a cup of tea to your quarters. He says it’s just because he wants to be friendly, but when you invite him to stay and talk, he’s beyond delighted. That conversation turns out to be one that changes things as he finally admits that he’s interested in you and when you tell him you reciprocate his feelings, you share your first kiss. Now that the Jedi Council have decided to let the Jedi pursue romantic relationships, you and Cody quickly become a couple.

For your birthday, Cody arranges for shore leave for you both and takes you to Dantooine for some romantic hiking and camping. Together you explore the forest there and have a relaxing break from the war. Cody even arranges for a special night hike to a spot with an amazing view of the stars. Even though you spend so much time hurtling through them, it’s nice to have time to stop and stare and just enjoy their beauty. As a gift, Cody, knows how much you love to draw and so he gives you a new sketchbook and you enjoy drawing the different vistas from your trip, knowing that you’ll love looking at them later and remembering this special time together.

P.S. Anon, I hope you're one of my mutuals because you sound like an amazing person and your description reminds me a lot of one of my close friends.
