Forgot to share! I was a part of the Star Wars Rare Pair Exchange this year and I got @sihirbazi (who makes WONDERFUL art, please check him out) as my person to write for! So I wrote him this lovely fix-it fic of Jedi Survivor as told through the eyes of BD-1! Of which I very much enjoyed writing as that funky little droid :D

Unofficial poll of if Bidoof was the HM pokemon for everyone? There have been many an HM pokemon, but bidoof stands out to me since it could learn surf (or at least Bibarel could).

like most people, i enjoy Star Wars Visions because of the fact that it's self contained, non-canon stories and characters that don't need to be inserted into a timeline.

that being said, these stories and characters are so well done, that it makes me want some of them to be canonized and added to the main storyline! (or at the very least, to make fun little appearances.)

i'd love in-canon to run into Lop, or the jedi from "The Village Bride", or the ronin sith from "The Duel". i want to see Livy from "The Pit" and Rani from "The Bandits of Golak" during their trainings or as older Knights. i want other padawans and jedi to meet Aau from "Aau's Song" and learn about her unique force abilities through singing. i want to see Anni from "I Am Your Mother" amongst a shot of pilots. when padawans talk about their "badass elder jedi" i want Rugal mentioned, and when stories are told about the undercover spies whose intel kept the Rebellion alive, i want Loi'e and her troupe from "The Spy Dancer" included.

these stories and characters don't NEED to be canonized to enjoy them! but at the same time, i guess i just feel like.... some of these characters and ideas are so unique, so different, and so amazing, that they deserve to be part of the main picture, if that makes sense??

ultimately, canonized or not, i just want to see more of them :D

ok but can she actually see anything in that helmet

Is Eli left handed?? I feel like it was mentioned briefly in the Thrawn (2017) book but can’t find it for the life of me. And now I’m reading a fic where it mentions he’s left handed (this is the second fic I’ve read that mentions it too). HELP

[umbrarkzoo]

did i ever post this????

[radiosummons]

Ngl, I do think it's kinda funny that since there's so few red heads/gingers in SW (Obi-Wan Kenobi and Cal Kestis being the only examples I can think of atop my head), a good portion of the SW fandom has just decided that red headed/ginger humanoids are just their own alien race--specifically, the Stewjoni.

Also, the whole Stewjon (and I guess now Kenari) just straight up being Space Scotland--fucking spectacular.

Hunter literally throws him on the ground and I. Can’t stop watching this.
