Feeling a bit insane for taking on this merch project while trying to sruvive work, finish a fic, and continue working on another fic. Have I ever done merch before? ABSOLUTELY NOT. Have I been doing research here and there on vendors and their processes? Absolutely.

The idea is to turn all of them into stickers. Depending on how they turn out, I plan to move forward with the following:

turn the Clan of Three into an acrylic standee with Tatooine and Ossus base options

turn the keldabe kiss and Clan of Two into acrylic charms (test epoxy and holographic options?)

turn the grogu and frog eggs into an acrylic shaker charm

"Live Cheen Reaction" is too niche to do more than make a few stickers for shits & giggles

Still need to order test prints but I hate the "convert to CYMK" step and have been procrastinating. Anyway, that is the progress report on the merch front. Sure is an interesting endeavor.

Morally questionable bounty request? Contact this idjet. I finally got around to coloring this. The new version of Clip Studio has lots of new brushes....

Original meme by @Darthbooks. I just drew cad into it.

#Cad Bane may have been inspired by Angel Eyes but that doesn't mean the writers can't grant him character growth for pete's sake #I think a lot of us fans were not surprised just disappointed #come'on cad kidnapping kids is way below your reputation and skill level #but oh the credits #he just can't flipping resist #and everyone knows how much the empire must be paying for him to even consider this shit #he'll take on any job for the right price #cad bane #bounty hunter #star wars #morality crisis #duros #why does my comfort character have to be like this

How often do you think Obi-Wan borrows a friend's cloak and the loses it?? And then has to do the walk of shame that he lost their cloak?

#Like how often does Bant Quinlan Luminara Anakin have to pack a couple extra cloaks because by the end of the mission they are -3 cloaks #I'd love to see a fic where Obes loses on of his borrowed cloaks (Anakin's) and so now is sitting in his room pondering his mistake #Bc he can't go to his bf bc his bf is sick of him loosing his shit and having to pick up after him #he cant go to his kids bc he lost one of his kid's stuff and between the two of them he's going to be teased to the point of harassment #star wars #cloaks #obi wan #anakin skywalker #codywan #obi wan kenobi #commander cody #bant eerin #quinlan vos #luminara unduli

BAD BATCH NATION:

No matter what happens to our favorite characters, no matter what we like/dislike. What we're not gonna do is be shitty/harassing/mean/unkind to the showrunners, the VAs, the production team, or other people in the fandom. You can feel big feels about S3 but make sure you express those feelings in a way that does not cause harm to others. People are allowed to react differently than you, do not tell them how they should feel. Go forth, make art, write fic, participate in dialogue, squee to your heart's content. Just be a good person.

#tbb #the bad batch #star wars #sw tbb #clone force 99 #i can't believe I have to say this in the year of our S3 #but as an elder member of the fandom #I've seen too much shit with other fandoms.

also a version without the scarf/shawl/head scarf

this was actually a redraw from some old colored doodles I did back in 2022 (I will probably make a comparison bc the gap between the two is something that astounds me)

Listening to "Thrawn: Alliances" be like.

Sheev is a bad father to his questionably-obtained pseudo-sons, and Thrawn is Too Good for Anakin/Vader and his bitch-ass pettiness.

I would straight-up hit Vader in the shin with a razer scooter.

(yes I recycled my Coruscant night scene for the background, yes I left the tag in it, yes, I AM that lazy)

[bojangos]

listen i LOVE rotating bastila and revan and their weird funky life-force-bond and i want them to be literally intertwined but NOT necessarily romantically.

however.

their kid becoming chancellor of the republic is so fucking funny to me. can you picture his campaigning and how everyone is trying so hard to like, dig up dirt on his family or whatever. the fucking Scandal of it all.

#bo speaks #the revan novel is Not Good but again it's so funny to me #vaner shan: chancellor of the republic (maybe) #like. holy shit. it's like. #the jedi CAN'T have recovered in popularity at all from like the exiles time #so bastila being his mom would be scandalous alone #BUT ADD REVAN. #kotor #star wars

Jar-Jar Binks needs to come back, and he needs to come back in an important way

(NO. I am not talking about darth jar jar, that's stupid fuck off)

Jar-Jar should be the politician who puts the Republic back together after the sequel trilogy, rebuilding, reforming, and fixing it, Jar-Jar Binks, first Chancellor of the reconstituted New Republic

#i'm completely serious #wooloo-writes #wooloo writes #star wars #sw #chancellor jar jar binks 36 aby #jar jar binks #look #i can't help it if i have better ideas than everyone else for the post-sequels era #i mean #its not hard #and besides #jar jar #and more importantly #ahmed best #deserves it after the shit people put him through #jar jar is a character i happen to like #he's kind friendly loyal to his friends and just wants to help #its refreshing

[0alix0]

that moment when everyone's hyping show for anakin cameo/thrawn/ezra/etc. and you're here only for an old tired fallen jedi and his little ukrainian chihuahua-looking daughter

#filoni you're so fucking boring you know that? #baylan skoll #shin hati #ahsoka series #star wars #anti dave filoni #you could've make it into a beautiful small personal story about surviving trauma #and having the whole galaxy literally hunting you like an animal for 20 years #moving forward and still not wanting to engage with new jedi order #cuz you're far too gone for it and some scars never heal #something that both ahsoka and baylan could both relate to (if the writing is good ofc) #and finding fulfilment in you child/apprentice who you care about deeply #put some really interesting jedi critical thoughts #to finally have some complex dark side characters who's entire motivation for using it could've been just basic desire to SURVIVE #and not depicting them as mustache-twirling villians #BUT NAHHH we need huge stakes (again) & more useless cameos (again) & the world between worlds whatever the hell that even is #and fucking thrawn cuz he's recognizable and will bring you money #anyway fuck filoni i hope ahsoka finally dies cuz i can't take her character seriously anymore #and i hope baylan & shin will go on funny father-daughter adventures together when this shit is done #at least starkiller isn't there......... thank god #KEEP MY BOY'S NAME OTTA YOUR FUCKING MOUTH FILONI #textpost #shitpost

images that make me remember why exactly voltron was the way it was

(Link to full article here)

#''yeah man we're going to make the latino guy a farmer. yeah no we can't even have him commit to the backup het #relationship we came up with. yeah sorry its gonna be the ending'' #I think the fact that they had contingencies on contingencies is rly showing the problem #that is not a tv show script that is a bunch of plot puzzlepieces you generated last minute and any combination of them will be shit #voltron #also the fact they were worried about star wars rebels?? lmfao #''uhhh guys we can't attempt to save the plot it'll look like another tv show'' good news your show is such a dumpsterfire nobody's #comparing it to anything rn

After vague blogging about fanfic and YA I will say that the issue of media for teens mixing poorly with all ages and adult media is not a problem exclusive to fanfic writers. 90% of the conflict in the star wars fandom stems from the fact that star wars’ YA and children’s media is to some degree canonically and philosophically incompatible with the mainline movies. In the movies the Jedi are unequivocally the heroes and we’re supposed to respect them even as they get backed into a terrible corner. They’re wise heroes doing their best.

In the media made for kids by necessity the adults of the Jedi order have to make absolutely wild and absurd decisions in order for the kid protagonists to get chances to do heroic stuff actual kids would find fun and exciting. This naturally puts their behavior at odds with the goals of the movies.

Add in that the movies don’t hold up to close reads because they’re intended to be fun summer blockbusters, and the fact that the Jedi are based on a fairly shallow understanding of a non-western collectivist lifestyle without nuclear families which is extremely foreign to western audiences and what do you get? Decades worth of discourse over whether the Jedi are actually good guys which can never be resolved because they're based on completely different ways of analyzing media. Worse, nobody can agree on what parts of star wars should be counted in the first place so even if you're analyzing things in the same style you might still be doomed.

#i go through phases where i'm kind of obsessed with star wars meta and discourse #so many people coming from pretty incompatible places all convinced that they're correct #and so mad at people on the other side #it's like a train wreck #on the one hand between the media aimed at kids #and the fact that george frequently chooses flow over characterization #(see: the movies do not hold up to a close read) #it's uh EXTREMELY EASY to make the argument that the jedi kind of suck if you're reading things from a watsonian perspective #and at a certain point even if you know that there are doyalist reasons for why some things are the way they are #there's so much that would have to be hand waved that you can't just use the doyalist excuse for everything #if you're trying to write fanfic #ON THE OTHER HAND #it's extremely obvious that some people are very uncomfortable #with the lack of nuclear families in the jedi order #and prefer other cultures *cough*mandalorians*cough* exclusively because they have something closer to a western family system #but the most fascinating are people who are extremely pro jedi #but like #also pull a shit ton of stuff out of the jedi apprentice books #for example #like... if you're considering those books canon in your fic then the jedi order is almost unsalvagable in a non YA context

It would be nice if Star Wars actually treated their "good" disabled characters as actual disabled characters.

We see a lot of "bad" disabled characters have viewable disabling disabilities (ex: the latest The Bad Batch episode featured a cane-user with a prosthetic arm. This man was a hoarder of resources, and quite greedy and self-serving. Disability=hoarding resources is a TERRIBLE thing for Star Wars to highlight, but there they just went. That's a whole post I can make on its own, but I digress.)

But there are so few times that Star Wars truly acknowledges its disabled characters' disability in a positive light. It is always swept under the rug and forgotten about. This is what we have for our disabled "good" characters:

Anakin's hand only ever has problems twice--both of which aren't even true issues. His hand just gets caught by magnets. That's it. Sure, one time a little spark went through it durring the Zillo Beast arc, but despite all other mechanical appliances dying and short-circuting, Anakin's mechanical prosthetic does NOT. They didn't want to show Anakin without the use of his hand. Oh and he's turned into the "bad" character when his disability becomes actually acknowledged. Facisit disabled person... how charming (sarcasm).

Luke's prosthetic hand also does not cause him any true issues--again, minor inconveniences.

Echo's prosthetics are not acknowledged, ever. They act as if Echo has two hands, and he's constantly seen holding stuff as if he has two hands. Sorry, but he can't balance a giant ass box on a scomp like that. He would have to compensate--move his arm so that it balances differently.

Tech does not need to be more than autistic-coded. It's not a requirement to label everything. However, he has only had issues with his autism once. That's a good first step! But it's just a first step. Not to mention, he's a whitewashed savant. This is the most blatant, frustrating autism stereotype. I've already made a post about this.

Kanan and Chirrut's blindness is perhaps the most visibly disabling disability in any of the shows; however, said blindness is magically compensated for by the Force. They both still struggles with many things, which is a good change of pace, but ultimatley, it's not the representation it's meant to be. And, for Kanan, it is CURED at the end, before he DIES. Chirrut ALSO dies. I think that speaks for itself.

Yes, they are still disabled. That is not in question. But it's repackaged in a 'non-disabling' sense. Because why show disability when everything can be magically fixed? Why show disabled characters having realistic issues with their disability when it could be disabled characters made palatable for an abled audience?

Yes, a good number of disabled people would like to be, for lack of a truly appropriate term, ""fixed"" (a whole different topic, though--and a huge one at that). I don't doubt many amputees would probably like the a prosthetic like Anakin's. And yes, it would be nice to be so easily and readily accepted as disabled people like they are in Star Wars.

However.

The continued treatment of disabled people as if they aren't disabled is a massive problem in today's, real-life world. Because we don't have that luxury of being treated as nicely. So as great as it is to dream of a life where we're accepted as normal, IT IS IMPORTANT TO VIEW THEIR DISABILITY AS NORMAL IN THE FIRST PLACE.

It is necessary to see openly disabled people being clearly disabled, while still being viewed as equal, "normal" people. When disability is only shown openly as disabling when it is for the greedy or the facists... that is ableist writing.

All I want is for a main character to be openly disabled, in a disabling way, rather than just magically fixed and unacknowledged. Disability representation can only go so far when it is just "hey, here's a disabled character." We need them to be acknowledged as disabled, too.

#how many times do blind people have to say 'hey can you stop giving characters magical sight-like abilities?' #because i can't tell you how many times i've read articles and posts and everything where blind people ask for a regular blind character #only to have magical shit #and how many times do we autistic people have to beg for a someone other than a savant white boy? #how many times do we disabled people have to ask for realistic expressions of pain?! #i have only ONCE seen a good and realistic example of a character with chronic pain (one a fellow disabled w/chronic pain writer wrote) #it is SO HARD to be disabled and watch 'disability rep' mean nothing more than 'hey look they've got prosthetics!' #and then have NO OTHER EXPRESSION OF THAT DISABILITY #YES they are still disabled. but NO they are not treated correctly. #they are being made palatable for the ABLED AUDIENCE. #and i'm tired of it. #disability #disability representation #disability in fiction #ableism in media #star wars #star wars prequels #star wars: the clone wars #star wars: the bad batch #star wars: rebels #star wars: rogue one #star wars original trilogy #please note this is not a fully-fledged paper. i could do that. i could absoultely do that with my rhetoric degree. #however. this is a blog post. #please keep that in mind!

played swtor one time with a stranger who invited me to a group (after accidentally stealing their dataport they had to destroy and giving them the next one): this is my meet-cute

#swtor #i have NEVER played a video game with a stranger before. it scares me. i don't understand how that social interaction works #but i felt so bad and awkward and like i couldn't say no #but it turned out fine!! we jumped at each other and did a few quests #and then i said i had to get off cause it was late and thanks for playing with me #idk if they saw it cause they didn't say anything back but hopefully they didn't think i just abandoned them like a dick #but now i'm like what if i met someone on swtor and we started playing together and never really talked much #but we played together for months and then we started messaging a little bit while playing like good job! and let's do this quest! #and do you want to do this heroic? and stuff like that and it morphed into a little more talking and eventually exchanging contact info #and then we fell in love? and we played video games together and did star wars cosplay together and idk what they would do for a job #(but i'm sure it would be neat and cool!!) and we could support each others dreams and shit and we could meet irl and kiss #and we could have a star wars rp and watch shows together and lots of other stuff #(ignore most of that is about star wars. i am obsessed currently i can't help it) #it would be cute and fun and i would like it and people would be like how did you meet?? and i could say star wars mmo lol
