heeeeyyyy

if it's not an indscretion... i saw that you had planned a jedi!din fic... and that it may not come to light... so if i could ask, what would it have been about?

thx even if you don't wanna answer xo

howdy!

fortunately for you i've never had any discretion ever!

i'm not gonna say that it will never see the light of day, because i keep things in my wip folder for years and years sometimes, chipping away at 'em little by little, but! on the off chance (or slightly more than an off chance, given my current self-imposed project workload) that i never get it up to posting quality, the rough idea:

i kind of incepted myself with force sensitive!din while working on a simple thing and put a little brainworm in the back of my head: ast!din is not force-sensitive enough to have been picked up by the jedi prior to the clone wars, but what if he had been?

the fic would've been (maybe will be?) kind of a season 1 retelling where, instead of being a traumatized mandalorian bounty hunter, din is a traumatized ex-jedi initiate who was out on the gathering during order 66, and subsequently managed to survive the initial purge. he's been bouncing around the galaxy ever since, doing all kinds of things to both a) stay alive and b) stay out of the empire's way.

post-empire he's kind of at loose ends; jedi aren't being hunted any more, but din doesn't really know any other way to live, so he keeps doing what he's doing and ends up on nevarro, looking for work, at the same time as some big, rude mandalorian warrior in blue and yellow armor picks a fight with what looks to din like the entire nevarran bounty hunter's guild, and hey, wait, is that mandalorian carrying master yoda?

cue din and paz's reluctant adventures across the galaxy as they run from the empire -- which, din is less than happy to find, is still hunting jedi -- and search for other jedi. it is the world's most awkward co-parenting arrangement, because paz is an asshole and din is emotionally stunted.

some miscellaneous vibes:

din has a kyber crystal, but no lightsaber, because he and his cohort were attacked leaving ilum after their gathering

din somehow still has the razor crest, not paz. din won it in a card game

din still doesn't know much about star wars

had the clone wars not hit, din would have wanted to go into the agricorps, not the jedi temple; he has a spectacular green thumb

baby jedi!din took one look at mace windu vapaad'ing all over the place and went "!!!! yes!!!"

he did know yoda -- yoda always made time to visit with the younglings and initiates -- and is really weirded out that yoda, or someone from the same species, was capable of producing a smaller yoda

the fic title came from some noah kahan lyrics, so you know it was going to be at least twice as melodramatic as it needed to be

so! who knows. i'd love to work on it some more some day!

One of the most heart-wrenching things that've ever happened to me occurred while trying to research the Super Paper Mario art style.

"Ohh what a beautiful and interesting art style! It is very distinctive! I wonder if anyone else has tried or wanted to try breaking it down and replicating it?" Obliviously, I typed in Super Paper Mario Art Style into my search bar... only to find many people calling it ugly and saying they hate it.

This simply could not be... permanent damage was done to my artistic soul.

No joy? No whimsy in this world? No love of computer graphics? Of a certain era of clipart? Of the art that was born from the computer and is difficult to replicate without one? Of the art made when this was something new and fascinating? No love for something unique?

Super Paper Mario don't listen to all those haters I love your geometric art style influenced by what shapes are easily drawn on a computer and the smooth mechanical interpolation within your animations. I love you. Also the music is banger.

Forcing myself to quit editing this before I go crazy 😁 Happy AAPI Heritage Month from your local Nikkei 🎇🇯🇵

My friends and I did an AA photoshoot in a dead mall and it was super fun! I'm hoping to use this summer to corral more of an in-person AA fandom presence in the Pacific Northwest

dreamt a cipher - chapter 6: Redshift

a shepard/garrus post-destroy ending longfic.

fic link // chapter link

A/N: Buckle up, something’s about to give.

Excerpt:

Dreaming is something Shepard avoids. She happens to think it’s a matter of self-discipline—to the great dismay of every military psychologist she was assigned after Akuze—and it helps that she’s stubborn to a fault, according to any and all who know her. Which makes it worse when it happens anyway. She spent the war between insomnia and the gray hellscape of her despairing subconscious, and it would make sense if it were that place she keeps returning to, with its rotating cast of failures. But it’s not. It’s always the same thing instead: her legs dangling in the neon glow of some place that blows all its budget on lighting, leaving none for entertainment, as murky shapes mingle and writhe. None of them matter except for the one that eventually sidles up next to her, a mute warmth that she can lean her bad shoulder into, a knee to press against hers. Her sigh is somehow always louder than the music’s drone. It’s not a nightmare at all, but it does make it hard to get out of bed. Harder now that he’s here.

in most graphic design programs, holding down the ctrl key while scrolling up or down makes the image zoom in or out, respectively

but what you might not know is that holding down the shift key in most programs while scrolling up or down lets you scroll left and right, a power so infinitely useful that I can't believe I only found this out a couple of years ago

and this isn't just limited to art software - it also works in audacity, and in some video editors! so try it out, and let the world of side-scrolling become your new normal
