#but the actual point and the actually helpful mindset is that u are putting creative work out there and it's going to end up a net positive

[iraprince]

also re my last answer: whenever i say "nobody actually cares if there are mistakes, nobody's going through your work with a fine tooth comb," stuff like that -- i knowwwwww that's not 100% accurate 100% of the time. i KNOW there are joyless weirdos out there who get off on like, picking ppl's stuff apart unprovoked, esp if they've already decided they don't like you or whatever, and people who nitpick anatomy and canon accuracy and shit like that 24/7 blah blah blah. i get anxious about it too, if i let myself think about it too hard.

but the point is that when i say "nobody actually cares" or "nobody is being as critical of your stuff as you are," what i mean is like.... "nobody pleasant to be around," lmao. "nobody cool." "nobody coming to your art and engaging with it in good faith."

taking a little private sip of haterade in your group chat once in a while or whatever is so normal (and nobody can do anything abt that, and nobody should spend a lot of time worrying abt it), but in terms of the person you're fearing will like, pull their pants down and take a big unsolicited shit on your art in public bc you drew a wonky arm or something? do u actually want to impress that person? is that who ur actually trying to reach w ur stuff? bc i'm not personally interested in that guy, lmao

[rollercoasterwords]

you are absolutely amazing i just don’t know how to put it into words & YOUR WRITING IS INCREDIBLE i’m taking it as inspiration for my own writing along w a few other writers :)

do you by any chance have any tips for someone trying out writing?

(ALSO HOW DO YOU MAKE EVERYTHING THE CHARACTERS FEEL SOUND SO BEAUTIFUL??)

ahhhh hello thank you so much!!!

i've talked about writing advice/tips a bit before in this post so u can go read that if you'd like i've never like...studied creative writing so i feel like a lot of the advice i have to give has more to do with vibes and mindset than anything technical. like the summary of what i've talked about in the past is just:

1 - no writing is bad writing because writing is like any other art where every bit of practice helps you learn more about your craft

2 - if your main motivation in writing is to have a huge audience consuming your work you will probably not find a lot of long-term fulfillment, especially if you're writing fanfiction. it's better to work on reframing your thinking around writing stories for yourself and posting them in search of community as opposed to an audience.

which like. i was talking to my sister about that second point last night because the thing is i hear a lot of people say "yeah but it's valid to want people to see and engage with the writing you post online" and that's true!! i'm not trying to say that it's not. but like. for myself, personally, if i posted my writing on ao3 and literally no one ever saw it and it didn't get a single hit, i think i'd be disappointed and dejected but at the end of the day i would still want to write my stories and i would still enjoy writing them because i am writing stories for myself, that i want to read. and because that's my mindset going into it, posting on ao3 is more like...hey if i get a few people who connect with my stories and engage with it and want to talk to me about it, that's such a cool bonus! i'm not viewing it as a numbers game or placing my self-worth as a writer in how many people click the kudos button, because at the end of the day it's so much more meaningful if a single person reaches out to me and is like "hey i want you to know this really resonated with me!" versus if like. a hundred people click a button, y'know?

when i think about myself as a younger writer and when i think about the influencer and consumer culture that is so pervasive now, i think it's probably really easy for new or young writers to get caught up in the idea that anything you post on the internet has to be a numbers game and if you don't get a certain amount of hits or likes it's easy to get discouraged, which is why most of my writing advice really comes back to trying to reframe your mindset around seeking connection whether than an audience! in the long-run, it's a much more fulfilling way to go about sharing something as personal as your writing online

other than that my main tip is just to read!! read and write down quotes you like and think about why they stick with you. i genuinely think a lot of my confidence in my writing ability comes from just reading all the time to the point where now when i write if i read it back and it feels like a book i'd enjoy, i know i'm happy with it.

and for feeling descriptions....hm i'm trying to figure out how to put my thought process into words. i guess like. something to experiment with is rather than centering the feeling itself to like. talk about anything BUT that feeling. like talk about things the character is doing, or use a metaphor to talk about the feeling without actually naming it. i am probably not describing this well lmao but like. ok an example from thtf - in the scene in ch 49 right after marlene and peter escape the death eater attack, when peter is asking marlene whether she's afraid of dying - i wanted to convey that in that moment marlene is feeling fearless, high on an adrenaline rush, untouchable, bold, etc. rather than focusing on feeling words though i was like okay what's a dramatic example of something that someone could do who is essentially feeling like a god rn. so instead of writing "marlene is fearless" i wrote "marlene could eat the stars." like to me that just feels a lot more vivid, y'know?

anyway this got very long but! that is my best shot at writing advice from someone who is mostly just running on vibes lol

[mirrinbelde-shitposts]

hey girl💐i’d luv a chance to guess ur Mercury sign.. my guess is Capricorn Mercury, ur writings are very organized n straight to the point, smart too. Whether or not I’m right, i wish u a nice day/nite👑

this my chart;) thank u, take care!

Hey! You got it right, congratulations! Have a good day too ^^

Welcome to your reading. Please remember to send feedback.

First impressions when looking at your chart: sea-saw chart shape; MC-IC axis at anaretic degree

SUN IN TAURUS

Your Sun sign is Taurus. You embody the Venusian energy well: you enjoy the finer things in life. This sign is best known for being stubborn; with this amount of Taurus energy, I’m sure you’re quite stubborn, which is a more negative way of saying determined. When you get an idea in your head, you won’t rest until you achieve it. You’re quite friendly and probably enjoy gossip. You’re reliable and hardworking. Being a fixed sign, I’d say you’re most likely not great at dealing with change; you prefer things staying the same. Comfort is important to you, be it literally or figuratively. You are very attached to your earthly possessions; furthermore, I’d say you have a bit of a radical mindset when it comes to money: you’re either too frugal or you spend too much money. Beware of possessiveness and laziness.

SUN IN THE 4TH HOUSE

This placement is somewhat similar to Cancer Sun. I'd say family life is very important to you, as is your home, emotional security and harmony. In order to grow as a person, you should take your time cultivating your positive traits. You may struggle to understand who you really are: the answer is inside, not outside. At the same time, there may be a tendency to emulate behaviours of those closest to you, which may contribute to the aforementioned lack of self-knowledge. Focus on yourself; practice mindfulness. There may also be some sort of conflict with your father or another father figure. Perhaps this person was overly dominating toward you, which may hinder your journey to self-discovery. You may, in time, develop those same characteristics. However, this placement may start to manifest more strongly later in life.

MOON IN TAURUS

The Moon is exalted in Taurus. Placed here, the Moon is quite happy, for this sign goes nicely with its characteristics: family-oriented, home, comfort, calm, familiar things, loving and caring. As with Taurus Sun, you may place a big importance on material things. With the Moon, however, it’s a bit different: you may develop an emotional attachment to some belongings of yours, perhaps because they provide you security. You’re the kind of person to stay home and enjoy a hearty meal, cuddle in front of the fireplace and enjoy sleeping in a comfy bed. You’re quite calm and caring; however, expressing your emotions may not be your strong suit. You should work on your deep attachment issues because they can destroy you if the object of that attachment abandons you.

MOON IN THE 4TH HOUSE

Once again, the Moon is quite happy here, which is the house it rules. This placement ensures that you have a strong connection to your roots: namely, family and home life; it could also be interpreted as your geographic location. Unlike the Sun, 4H Moon wants to feel like a part of the family structure. Your home is probably your refuge when things get difficult. You want harmony and safety in your everyday life. You are probably sensitive and caring and these traits make you someone appreciated both at home and in the workplace. Also, this is a good placement for parents. However, you may lack objectivity, often letting your feelings influence your opinions. You feel deeply.

MERCURY IN GEMINI

This is one of the two signs ruled by Mercury. Gemini embodies the more chatty, talkative side of Mercury. You are curious, intelligent and love to possess and acquire knowledge of every kind. You are good at both writing and speaking; however, speaking is probably the thing for which you are known. Gemini is known as the sign that never shuts up; this is particularly true in your case, with Mercury in this sign. However, since your mind is always racing, you may lack an attention span, always going from one thing to the other. Staying committed to tasks and goals may be a problem for you because you get tired of things quickly. You are good with words and love to socialize. Emotions may be rationalized.

MERCURY IN THE 5TH HOUSE

This is a great placement for artists, especially those whose fields are ruled by Mercury, such as writers. It allows you to pour all your creativity and originality into your craft. Your many ideas are expressed in fun ways and your show a jovial way of seeing things. You may enjoy puzzles or other activities that involve strategy, as well as sports (yes, because sports also require tactics). Basketball, for example, would be a good sport for someone with this placement. Additionally, it's a good Mercury position for someone who works with kids or teenagers, as well as parents. You are creative and fun and it shows.

VENUS IN GEMINI

As is the case of Air Venus, Gemini Venus requires a partner that will spend hours with them talking about anything. You seek a partner that is intelligent and educated and who can hold a conversation. If the other person cannot keep up with you intellectually, it will probably be a huge turn-off. You want someone who is as smart as you, someone who makes you laugh and accepts your quirky nature. However, it may be difficult to find such a partner. You are not great at expressing your emotions, so connecting head and heart is a way to help this. Also, you tend to not show you truly think and you're always joking, so people probably wonder about how you actually feel about them. You are probably quite indecisive when it comes to love and relationships.

VENUS IN THE 6TH HOUSE

Here, Venus gives great importance to things associated with Virgo: routine, health, job. It is important for you to have your routine and to plan things. Once you acquire a habit, it is difficult to let go of it ("Old habits die hard."). Similarly, it is important that you incorporate activities with your partner in your daily schedule. Funnily enough, it is routine that makes you miss things you no longer have: for example, if you lose a friend, you may miss them more because you used to talk every day. You enjoy working on projects that make you feel like you're doing something meaningful; your chosen profession must fulfil you. You want a harmonious workplace that makes you feel happy to work. Also, you have an eye for detail. There can be a need to obsess about your health, as well as your loved ones'.

MARS IN GEMINI

Gemini Mars, to me, indicates that your battlefield is words. Your “attack” is how you think, connect the dots and put your opinions into words. This placement makes me think that you have vast knowledge in almost everything and you’re willing to debate with anyone about anything. I’d say you’re also good at multitasking and bad at routines. You could do with a bit more determination; Gemini is a sign known for its indecisiveness, so you may struggle with carrying out your thoughts and ideas. You have many different interests and can change them up quite a lot, sort of similar to Gemini Mercury. You would do well to be a little more committed to your interests and ambitions.

MARS IN THE 6TH HOUSE

The planet of action has its joy in this house, according to the principles of Hellenistic Astrology. Mars strongly wants to take action, but the 6th house forces it to be more methodical and less impulsive. Your workplace may become your figurative battlefield. You need to be active in everyday life, but you also want to feel that what you're doing is meaningful and makes you feel useful. Mars here acts strongly and concretely in areas of life that are related to work, mainly career, as I mentioned. This seems to be a good position for a leader in the workplace. Similar to Venus, 6H Mars may worry a lot about the body. A great deal of your energy may be directed into taking care of it, perhaps going to the gym is an activity you enjoy.

JUPITER IN CANCER

Jupiter is exalted in this sign. The planet of expansion and luck finds in Cancer a good means of expressing its energy, for the sign is a sensitive one. Whilst Cancer is already sweet and caring, Jupiter expands these traits even more. You are generally a calm person, who empathizes with people's feelings and has a need to both listen and talk to others. However, you can become very fierce when someone messes with those you love. You probably have a very motherly side to you that draws people in. Additionally, I have said that Cancer is the most intuitive sign: Jupiter in Cancer only makes this even more so. Listen to your intuition, which is quite accurate; learn to trust your gut feelings (for example, you guessed my Capricorn sign correctly :D).

JUPITER IN THE 7TH HOUSE

This placement is a highly auspicious one for relationships and partnerships of any kind. It elevates even more Cancer Jupiter because it allows you to fully connect with people on a deep level. You possess the ability to communicate with others and understand their feelings, which makes you someone quite great around which to be. It also favours the expansion of knowledge. All of this applies to romantic relationships as well. You may get into them easily and seem to usually enter the right ones (Jupiter grants you luck). You are quite a caring, sweet partner and bring a very good, calm energy to your relationships. However, this can be a paradoxical placement: on one side, you want that security with your partner and want them to be dedicated to you; on the other, you need your freedom. Balancing these two can be quite tricky, so your partner must understand both of these sides of you.

SATURN IN GEMINI

Saturn here may cause you to be unsure about the themes of Gemini: communication, thinking and expressing yourself. This can cause you to be afraid to speak in public or to withhold voicing your true opinions. You may delve into the study of every area of life or, on the contrary, avoid it at all costs. You probably ponder your words before you speak them. You may have a tendency to be introverted due to this. In a past life, you may have misused your voice, so your purpose in this life is to learn the power of your words. Also, you probably struggle with order, discipline and setting realistic goals. Saturns wants you to learn how to deal with these topics in this lifetime. You may have a lack of self-esteem due to the problems aforementioned. It is important that you work on these blockages.

SATURN IN THE 6TH HOUSE

You can feel responsible for other people, especially your coworkers, even if you struggle getting along with them. There’s a need to serve, to be of use to others; you may find it hard to relax. You are quite organized, so you’d do well to make use of it. You could also be the type to help others in the way to their goals. However, you should also understand that, sometimes, you should just let go and go with the flow. Not everything in life is about hard work, routines or responsibilities. Find something that excites you; try some meditation. There may also be some health issues, perhaps you had them in your childhood. ⬛

[werewolfdays]

Jayde/Nadya B, U, V

B - Boy/Girl - What is their gender? What is their relationship with their gender? Has this changed over time? How does their gender identity relate to their gender expression?

Nadya is very comfortable in her femininity, it was never something she really spent too much time questioning. Everyone lands somewhere on the spectrum and she's happy to be presenting as femme with a dash of tomboy. She's learned how to gain a lot of strength in being a woman.

Jayde is similar in where she's extremely proud to be a powerful and capable woman, but she also likes to present in a more fluid manner. You won't really see her act overly feminine, nor overly masculine. Ever since she was a kid, she was a tomboy, and she loves that she can be a tomboy and still be a girl since Garret constantly made fun of her for not being girly enough when they were kids.

U - Ugly - What traits do they find unattractive in others? Do they have any of those traits themselves?

Jayde does not like people that are lazy or people that refuse to take action. She has been fighting for so long that when she comes across someone that refuses to fight, it offends her. Because if you had the power to make a difference and protect what matters to you, why wouldn't you do that?

Nadya finds it really unattractive when someone puts other people down in order to look better or make themselves feel better. She was often a victim of that, both at home and at school, and it's something she sees constantly throughout her life as well. It really disgusts her.

V - Visionary - Do they have a plan for their future? How imaginative or creative are they? Do they have vivid dreams?

Jayde has to live day by day. There really isn't any other option if you're a werewolf considering life expectancy for her kind is either very low or very unpredictable. Once she meets Nadya, she realizes that she can strive for more than just surviving and makes a conscious effort to build a life for herself and her pack, but she's still dealing with an unknown fate at the end of the day and accepts the victory of just making it as far as she has.

Nadya is of a similar mindset, but she has a goal of being an actual doctor some day. That's always been something she wanted, and while she's content with having enough knowledge to help people, she wants to be an expert in the medical field. She also wants to reach a point where no one has to fight anymore, where they can just live without the shadow of danger looming over them. Though that one is more of a pipe dream...

[eltigreus]

what’s changed?

when I was younger (not that I now am old or anything), I used to tweet, livejournal, post, share, reblog (with vivacious commentary), and unabashedly expose my self and my expressions in whatever manner I could think of on a daily basis, wherever possible. multiple times a day, in fact. the epitome of screaming into the void - simply for the sake of assuring myself that I am alive and I have thoughts/feelings. but now...

I find myself: habitually/obsessively running my thoughts and opinions through judgement filters before even allowing myself to consider them; reactively scrutinizing the art and expressions of others for no good reason other than to be contradictory; scavenging the depths of my mind for good content and throwing out practically every seed I pull up before it even has a chance to be germinated; refusing to share anything of myself that feels underdeveloped or inadequate for this social platform or that; and (at times, desperately) looking for any minuscule moment of every day life interesting enough to capture on video that I could share with friends, family, followers, and anyone else that might help to contribute to the proliferation of vast opportunity for creation in the realm of entertainment for myself and my cohorts.

“What happened?”

how did that bombastically outspoken, overly-enthusiastic, naïvely ostentatious young artist end up this way?

a while ago, I spoke to a friend who told me,

“You’re all dusty? You used to be so much... shinier?”

to which I immediately shrunk in reaction. “life happened,” I thought to myself.

but, whose life is it? whose life are you leading? whose life are you aspiring towards? is it one of your own creation and desire or is it the one you were indoctrinated to believe is the only “true” option for success in your profession? the one with flagrantly rapid [commercial] success, un-stifled money flow, influential notoriety, and - of course - lots and lots of beautiful [men] of all shapes and sizes at the tips of your fingers awaiting your beck and call?

the reality of this enviable latter life is one only a privileged few get to lead in the business of entertainment; and it is apparent that a vast majority of those few don’t look like me, nor would they refer to themselves as “movement artists” - nor do they seem to register aloud their own contributions (or lack thereof) to the privilege of living this reality; that’s another tangent emotional pi.

“You’re all dusty?”

I’ve had the dirt kicked up on me quite a few times before that day when I met my friend. I had felt myself becoming much more dull in the months that preceded this meeting, but never was able to admit to myself what was happening until someone else was awake enough (and loved me enough) to point it out to me.

“You used to be so much... shiner? You can’t keep giving and giving your light away to other people. You have to replenish and recharge yourself if you want to have anything at all to give to someone else.”

these were some of the things my very conscious friend had said to me that day. he was/is right.

I love to give and I love to avoid myself. but, clearly, this wasn’t always the case. frequently, I attributed this development to the consistent loneliness I was experiencing (even before the quarantine). upon further reflection, I think it would actually be more accurate to say “this re-development” of myself. I think, perhaps, the reason that bombastic young artist was so unapologetically expressive was because he had the time to be so; he had the time to be bored enough to indulge in his own organically-sprouted curiosities and decided to respond to his findings aloud - to himself, to anyone who might hear in passing, to whomever.

the reality was that the make-up of his audience was of no importance; the importance was the act of sharing, the purity of expression - of earnestly recounting experience and emotion. not being concerned with how to indulge in dialogue but inherently knowing that the conversation must be started in order for one to begin to learn.

so how can I expect myself to be so suddenly inspired now when I never give myself enough time to relax and be bored?

quite probably possibly, the production mindset has skewed my view of [my] value. though the efficiency skills I now posses are very useful in a creative process when time is not on our side, the incessant need to constantly produce something in order to feel sufficient - to feel purposeful or worthwhile in any manner - can take irreversible tolls on the body and psyche.

“You’ve got to save some light for yourself.”

I have given my light to choreographers, directors, producers, employers, educators, entrepreneurs, puppet masters, and clowns all with varying degrees of mutual benefit as collaborators and acquaintances. you can tell the ones who are ready to reciprocate your efforts of light-giving from a mile off and - hopefully - you make the effort to ensure that you are able to stick around and continue trading frequencies/creative opportunities. but, why is it that one would choose to stick around when one’s intuition screams at them that their currently-involved endeavor is a one-way highway and all signs along the road offer (clearly threatening) admonitions of fines, tickets, and legal action against those that pick up... hitchhikers?

though you inherently know better, for some reason, you still hope the ones who are there to take what they need and then thank u, next themselves out of your realm of existence will somehow (miraculously) see you as something... special? some thing “worth” taking the time to get to know and grow with. unique enough to take a chance on for a fantastical project that is bound to be the next multi-million dollar franchise which will set you up to do whatever it is celebrities do when they’re not being famous... for the rest of your life? it sounds as ridiculous as it is.

it’s hilarious (and unsurprising), but my professional life and personal life have very closely mirrored parallels. to consider myself a “hitchhiker” in regards to my past methods of approach at forming relationships (romantic and otherwise) with humans is, unfortunately, fairly accurate. the co-dependent nature of matrimony which had been instilled in me since I was a young one has very undesirable affects when put into practice as an “independent adult.”

but how could you expect anything different when your focus is divided between your profession, your partner, your bills, your friends, your dog, your chores ... this list goes on and on. when do you turn your undivided attention inward to reflect on what it is you need/want? I’ve found that even when I am involuntarily alone, I tend to refuse avoid every opportunity for relaxation and self-consideration. (un)fortunately (for me), the Pandemic currently circulating our Mother Earth has removed virtually all possibilities for external distractions. (a moment of singularity is much more easily served surrounded by accessible bars, intoxicants, and unimaginably beautiful people, after all - no?)

before I run off my rails, I think I must pull this train of thought into the station. this lengthy rumination of my past experiences is not meant to serve as a “warning” for those interested in undertaking an artist’s life. I write this, first and foremost, to employ what I’ve criticized myself for not doing throughout this piece: I write this as an act of screaming into the void once again.

I write this to assure myself of my own ability to communicate emotions/thoughts and experiences, and to remind myself of how much I love to do so. I write this also to offer another perspective to others who may feel jaded or deceived along the current portion of their artistic journey. I write this as an act of defiance against my own insecurities.

I write this in the hopes of encouraging whomever might stumble upon it to give yourself a break and assess/pursue what it is that will bring you true fulfillment in this life.

I write this... because I wanted to? because I wanted to. because I wanted to express myself without being bogged down by the waterfall of irrelevance that my mind produces when it feels unsafe or exposed. because I am an expressive human who must allow room for expression when the motivation is pure.

because I’m trying to cure myself from this long-time build up of artistic epididymal hypertension.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[transcendencism]

yknow playing the knight storyline again made me wonder (apologies if u already posted something like this before 😓) but what are your thoughts on the knight companions? does hyroh's opinion of them differ ?

omg i love this question actually bc i dont think i’ve ever gone thru hyroh’s opinions of the companions all in one post (tho i have talked about them separately) also the knight’s crew, overall, is one of my favorites because i love all of them except for two, those last two being doc and rusk. i hate doc but i think rusk is fine and i don’t have any issues with him, i just don’t LOVE him y’know. also good timing actually for u asking this since im replaying hyroh’s class campaign again lol

teeseven:

i’d be heartless if i said i didn’t like teeseven. i love them, they’re the best droid in the franchise next to the hunter turned yodito’s babysitter droid from the mandalorian. and artoo. also YES i spell the droids’ names like that instead of typing out the numbers i think its cute.

teeseven is just a pure good bean that has never done anything wrong. however it does get just a tad frustrating with how goody-two-shoes lightsided they are, but it doesn’t bug me THAT much because i stopped caring about my companions’ approval/disapproval things a long time ago.

hyroh and i are pretty much on the same page when it comes to teeseven. that’s his droid buddy that he built himself (yes im retconning teeseven’s backstory i like my idea better). teeseven was hyroh’s first friend besides his siblings (except in the ryrohverse. i think hyroh was still in the process of building teeseven when he and ry first met), so they’re super close. i think he probably ends up bringing teeseven with him when he leaves the jedi order.

kira:

i love kira! i dont really have any complicated feelings about her she’s just good! i love the whole “used to be a child of the emperor, escaped, lived on the street for awhile” thing i think it’s very creative. and how she and master kiiwiks will never not make me laugh.

both she and hyroh start out really similar. they’ve got grand visions of saving the galaxy and being important, and they’re not exactly orthodox jedi either. hyroh’s a bit more serious about it than she is, and sometimes he’ll get a little upset if she cracks a joke or snarks when it doesn’t feel appropriate (like when she called the spaceport on ord mantell “seedy” ... oh he didnt take that super well). they’re friends but they butt heads ESPECIALLY when it comes to the jedi.

the thing that comes to mind is kira’s conversation about how the jedi should have more control in the senate; hyroh was very “what the fuck” about it, but not for the reason you’re probably thinking. he was less disturbed by the idea of having a religious order in charge of the state and more disturbed that it’d further separate the jedi from the people they’ve sworn to help. though hyroh is extremely anti-imperial, sometimes to the point where it’s almost comical, the reason why he became a jedi wasn’t to fight sith. the person he named himself after, hyroh kashik, was a cathar jedi who stood between his people and the mandalorians during the battle of cathar. that and the cultural attitudes he grew up with of sharing what you have with others, always lending a hand, defending the vulnerable, etc. as well as master le’raya’s own ideology shaped what hyroh believes the jedi ought to be.

so uh . yeah . i rambled but kira and hyroh are good friends but they disagree and they Argue very passionately about it.

doc k’tasi:

i just pretend doc doesnt exist in my canon, and k’tasi takes his place instead. like kira, hyroh and k’tasi end up being really good friends, but they too disagree on what the jedi’s roles should be. except it’s ironic because k’tasi starts out as a very idealist jedi that clings to the code but doesn’t question it because the jedi REALLY don’t like questions and alternative points of view, but hyroh opens him up to another way of looking at it.

k’tasi eventually comes to a similar conclusion that hyroh does: the jedi spend way too much of their resources and time fighting the sith and completely neglecting the people they say they’re defending. the difference is that k’tasi believes that the jedi can change to suit what he thinks they ought to be, and so even when he’s away from the order during KOTFEET, he still considers himself a jedi, and he tries to create his Own jedi order so to speak.

hyroh doesn’t think that the jedi can change to be what he thinks they should be. individuals can, after all his master, k’tasi, and himself all adopted that mindset of putting people first and not basing their life’s goals on defeating the sith, but he doesn’t think the jedi order as an organization can wholly change to be that way. in fact, he thinks that the mainline jedi ideology doesn’t even support that mindset because there’s just so much focus on the light-dark binary.

(of course, there’s irony in that because hyroh works along with the SIS and the sixth line on a number of occasions. that’s not ALL he does tho, and he doesn’t immediately go from the jedi order to working with the SIS. the first thing he does after leaving is he goes back to ord mantell and tries to help out with the situation there.)

rusk:

dont really have any interesting opinions on him. he’s just kinda There. hyroh doesn’t really like him but at the same time they’re Battle Buddies. it’s complicated.

scourge:

i really like him actually!! but also oh my god he is not a good influence for k’tasi or hyroh. thankfully, hyroh was in jedi therapy and thus only had to deal with him for a very short time. meanwhile k’tasi spent most of his time around him. narratively that’s really good because scourge was Another presence to challenge k’tasi’s blind obedience to the jedi, but for the sake of k’tasi’s mental health it was awful.

[jamaisjoons]

hi. 😊 so i’ve been trying to write again (i’ve had failed attempts on here before😅) and i thought about how your smut is so iconic, and i wanted to ask if you have any tips? is there anything that inspires or influences you? your writing is so creative and rich. i’m sorry if this was asked before, i looked thru your asks for a while & couldn’t find anything. i hope you are well. 💜 thank you.

HOW YOUR SMUT IS SO ICONIC SCRAM SHUT UP YOURE TOO KIND THANK YOU SO MUCH !!!!!! It really means a lot! Also this is super duper late because this is a really old ask but:

Smut is something u have to be in the mindset for, so if you’re not feeling it — just take a breather and don’t try to push yourself!

Descriptions!!! Like actually describing what is happening, their feelings, the mood, the atmosphere — all of that is super important to set the mood and write some really good smut that makes people horny

Dirty talk!!!!! Like maybe this is just personal but god I love dirty talk so I always write it, even in soft pieces but more like toned down idk isndosdksodkeoek

Take your time, don’t rush from point A to B - smut, just like your story, needs to flow so don’t suddenly go from them kissing to them fucking or like from fingering to fucking or whatever it is, make sure to put in the little details of their actions, after person A eats out person B what do they do, how does person B react etc etc

Okay I had more tips but I have 👁👄👁 blanked lmfao but I hope that helped!!
