i have one braincell and it is constantly occupied with the twins going to naboo and meeting padmé's family

(support me on kofi!)

[darkswanone]

does everyone forget that padmé was right about anakin? like her belief in his goodness isn’t born out of her silly girl brain not knowing any better. she died giving voice to the climax of return of the jedi. she was not wrong for trusting his innate goodness would win out because she was proven right in return of the jedi. padmé was literally right. everyone else including anakin was wrong and padmé (and luke) were right

[darkswanone]

Whilst I adore the idea that in the maybe 24 total hours Anakin was present on the Lars' farm, he fixed literally everything mechanical there because of *angst*, I think an infinitely funnier idea is that Padme did their taxes. She doesn't like sitting around doing nothing any more than Anakin, and she was there for several extra hours, there's no way she didn't ask for something to do, and I think that thing should be their taxes.

Cliegg and Owen weren't actually expecting to actually be able to use a coreworlder's work, but as it turns out, Padme totally helped them commit tax fraud even better than they already were without even being asked.

Bonus points if she was doing it at the same time Anakin was out committing bloody murder.

He was deceived by a lie. We all were. It appears that the Chancellor is behind everything, including the war. Palpatine is the Sith Lord we’ve been looking for. After the death of Count Dooku Anakin became his new apprentice. STAR WARS: EPISODE III - REVENGE OF THE SITH Your father was seduced by the dark side of the Force. He ceased to be Anakin Skywalker and became Darth Vader. When that happened the good man who was your father was destroyed. So what I told you was true, from a certain point of view.

It’s been a minute since I posted on here!

My small art business has definitely taken a hit since the release of AI art, so I’m trying to post more again to gain more exposure.

This Anidala commission was such a pleasure to work on. I love when I get to illustrate happy scenes of some of my favorite characters.

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY as SABÉ

Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999)

Obviously More Between Us (MBU) (WIP) and Sexual Tension, both co-written with @gamebird in the Heroes fandom. Sylar/Peter.

I liked my Happilyr Ever After fic also, still on LJ. Sylar/Peter of Heroes.

I need to rewatch Heroes.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. Let’s spread the self-love 💗

Favorite five fics I have written:

Shattered Salvation - over a million words. NBC Heroes. A love poem of Petlar and Petrellicest. Polyamory. Saving the world. Saving each other. Heroes and villains and enough time for side characters to have a moment, but the through-line was always Peter and Sylar. This was originally posted on FFN in sections, and then I accidentally deleted it from AO3 after it had been there for a few years. So there used to be more kudos and comments on it, lost to my mistake.

Grey Order - Only 573k words. Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, TROS doesn't exist. I especially like the Poe/Hux stuff and their balance of asexual with allosexual. This story grew organically on its own, starting off as a series of Force visions between Rey and Kylo set after TLJ. But it went other places and I love the places it went, eventually finding a path to lasting peace for the galaxy, and for the troubled souls in it.

Unification - 167k words. Star Wars Sequel Trilogy, TROS doesn't exist here either. This is my most self-indulgent fic. It was the one where I said, 'You know what? Fuck all the rules of writing I've been adhering to. I'm going to switch POVs every chapter. I'm going to indulge in plot-unnecessary world-building. I'm going to have three separate romances. I'm going to create a dozen original characters and have them all be interesting!' So I did. I had a great time writing it and a lot of people enjoyed reading it.

Services Rendered - 15k words. Star Wars Sequel Trilogy. TROS doesn't exist. This is explicit Kylux with a heavy dose of Knights of Ren and a whole lot of gang-bang orgy action with a sweet, non-monogamous ending. It is my highest bookmarked fic and second highest by hits. It's not my best work as a writer, IMO, but I find it hilarious that out of all the stuff I've written, this is the one that has the most accolades.

Dirty Talk - 634 words. My sole Star Trek fic. What I like about it mostly is how I wrote it. I was chatting with a friend on LJ, got inspired, and banged it out over a couple minutes as a gift to my conversational partner. Who was amazed that I'd just written that. Right then. Between one post and the next. I found the response deeply flattering, so whenever I look at that story I remember that.

I know there's nothing on here about the Murderbot Diaries or The Old Guard. I've had cancer and health issues coinciding with my involvement in those fandoms, and it's only been recently that I think my writing has recovered. My favorites of Murderbot are the Skulk series and Gurathin's Side of the Story.

Other writers I'd like to tag: @morby , @rosewind2007 , @gauzyfruitcake , @darkswanone , @blessphemy .

Is this about Charles Vane and Eleanor or Jack and Anne? Be specific 👀

thinking about black sails again and i have to say how funny it was for max to see 2 horrifically fucked up pirates in a weird codependent relationship and go “oh i HAVE to get in the middle of that”. and then she did!

I’ve noticed this - to the point that #Narnia ’s map annoys me for no reason other than it’s “backwards.”

hey, just asking because i'm curious,

but how many people have noticed that a lot medieval fantasy maps are left-justified?

i mean i know its probably europe, but it's enough of a trope for tvtropes to have an article about it.

a lot of these are orientated with cold weather to the north and the sea to the west.

even the ones i found with ocean orientation not to the west, the cold weather is to the north.

i just thought it was interesting and wanted to share

edit: i think the only reason i noticed this is because very few maps look even vaguely like where i live in the s. hemisphere :p

cold weather is to the south and it gets hotter the further north you go

some examples i found:

middle earth - lotr

eragon

wheel of time

westoros - got (looks like britan and europe)

My comments.

Episode 9 is so fucking funny to me like you have Aemond "Cole needs me Mother" Targaryen who without the slightest doubt leads Criston to one random place Aegon took him to 10 years ago and then decides to give up 5 minutes later because his brother is an illiterate whore (affectionate). And that's not even the best of it no then there's also the future King and his dorky ass brother rolling around in front of the Sept in the most sibling fight ever on TV while two members of the Kingsguard are having a very serious swordfight in the background. Also "do you love me" - "you imbecile" HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE THE GREENS

For @house-icedragon 😁

Don’t even get me started on medieval rules. By those, Aegon would always be the heir regardless of any oaths previously sworn. Notice how most of the nobles bent the knee to Aegon (via Otto) before Otto started threatening.

Rhaenyra has so many more options: have no kids w Laenor, then kill him; if questioned, use that as the reason. Or Divorce him. Or pick a blond/Daemon to have ‘bastards with.’ So yes, she chose treason. And so did Visarys. Many times.

Phrased another way: a bastard son of Visarys would have the same rights as Rhaenyra.

Sadly we never get an idea for how the nobles feel about having Rhaenyra shoved down their throats, living complacently for decades, then the quick switch to Aegon. The coronation went pretty smooth with the commoners (mild threat not withstanding). Greens caught Rhaenyra sleeping, away in Dragonstone, with Visarys clearly dying. 

I’ll add this, too: the delusion on Daemon/Rhaenyra’s part to LEAVE KING’S LANDING when Visarys is hours from death thinking they had everything in the bag, all sewn up, cemented in.

Daemon: “they murdered him” and Rhaenyra: “I have to babysit my bastards on the trip home…”

They did nothing all the years to solidify her claim. Apparently she stayed at court the whole time…doing who-knows what besides making bastards. She only stayed so Alicent couldn’t turn Visarys against the bastards (not for lack of trying).

Also notice Visarys saying “your Aegon”…meaning to SKIP OVER THE BASTARDS IF he thought he was talking to Rhaenyra. For a guy who was drugged up, old, fairly out of it, he met and remembered the newest babies’ names near his end. That means he knew. At the end he may even have meant “crown Rhaenyra’s pureblood firstborn, Aegon, then Rhaenyra/Daemon rule as Regent until he’s of age.”

Or he meant his son Aegon (wouldn’t it have been “our Aegon”?) which is what happened.

I keep adding to this, sorry not sorry. But Rhaenyra listed first Visarys then Aegon for her/Daemon’s children. I’m assuming they’re both male from the names (couldn’t tell from the infants themselves). Visarys may have even meant Skip Over Visarys Jr to get to Aegon. Meaning Visarys just wants That name badly even though he admits to liking his own.

(*cough* Gendry, GoT Season 8 *cough, cough*)

Peak comedy is watching Team Black treating outdated medieval morality as universal and objective. Like their hilarious rants of "Omg they USURPED the rightful heir! That's high treason! People can totally have an inherent right to rule due to birth!".

But when their precious ~rightful queen~ commits what is considered high treason in medieval morality (claiming bastard sons as trueborn heirs to the throne) all of a sudden they completely disregard medieval morality as a whole and remember they're not living in the middle ages, lmao.
