"Perhaps a lesser-known gift of Kenobi's was his ability to listen."
(AU where post-banishment Ahsoka gets zapped back to TPM, strapped with a fundamental distrust of the Jedi, an apocalyptic vision of the future, and a mandate to help Anakin Skywalker. So, in all this, it's nice to have a confidant.)

something something being the breadwinner in your relationship with older bf!simon because you love him and he deserves it.
his post-military allowance it pitiful (and you’ve already complained enough times to your local body that they have a picture of you behind reception) so you both agreed that your income can cover the two of you.
plus, he makes a really good house-husband.
he watches a lot of gordon ramsay on daytime tv so there’s always a beautiful meal waiting for you when you get home.
he’s mastered the fabric softener to detergent ratio and your clothes are always warm and pressed from the iron.
he keeps the carpet vacuumed and the high shelves dusted and the windows always sparkle in the sun.
you’ve even told him you expect nothing, that he’s spent a long and hard life fighting so he could spend all day sleeping and you’d just be happy he was safe.
but he says it’s how he enjoys spending his time.
replanting the garden or building you a little table so you can both enjoy coffee outside in the summer or fixing just about anything in the house giving you grief.
says he likes being useful, likes being needed by you.
“want t’show y’how much i ‘ppreciate you”
“simon, you know i don’t need-”
“let me take care’a you, sweet’art”
every night you come home to a warm meal and a warm lap to curl up in.
simon says he likes being needed- likes being used too.
“thas’ it, right on m’tongue”
warm mouth ready to be fed.
simon’s grateful, real grateful.
“mmm- y’so fucking good t’me, taste like it too”

"I loathe him. And, despite myself, I respect a worthy opponent...Which he isn't because he's a demon and I cannot respect a demon. Or like one."
decided to draw a small part of the bookshop opening deleted scene bc not one day goes by where I don't think about it 🥺 we lost so bad by not getting this one 😭😭
especially bc it contrasts the season 2 finale so well… I could write entire dissertations about it 🤧

Several weeks ago one of my coworkers called me over into her cubicle and gave me a very unexpected gift. Her mother passed away recently, and she'd been packing stuff up at her condo to give to relatives and sell, so the home could be sold. The mother was an avid knitter and crocheter, and when my coworker came upon her stash of equipment, she told me, she "immediately thought of me as someone who might get some use out of it."
So, I have inherited a varied collection of knitting needles and crochet hooks, cable needles, sewing needles, and, best of all, now-out-of-print pattern books, mostly for blankets, because that was what this lady loved to make most. Plus, I also have a bunch of gauge swatches she made, pinned to little bits of card covered in perfect schoolteacher handwriting setting out the patterns they were made to test.
And also...
My coworker brought another bag, full of yarn and...knitted blanket squares.
Her mother's last started project, before she got too sick to continue.
And she asked if there was anything I could do with it.
It turned out, there are twelve completed squares, and I quickly located the pattern book they are from amid those given to me. It's a book of 60 patterns, meant to be put together however the maker wishes into blankets of 20 squares. I figured out which of the numbered patterns were already made, and selected eight more that I thought might go well with them.
So now!
I am working on completing!
My coworker's mother's last knitting project!
And I really am feeling very good about doing it.
