I'm at the art museum and I'm wondering; what do you think art looks like in Star Wars?
Just looking at so many post-war and during-war pieces (mostly WWII), I can't help but wonder what art looks like in a galaxy that is constantly torn up by war.
During the Clone Wars, do people make sculptures of discarded droid parts? Are there paintings of stories of battles? Are clones' helmets eventually immortalized in museums?
What of the growing darkness in the Senate? Do others know that the system is corrupt? Is there political art of Palpatine as an evil figure, even before anyone knew that was actually the case?
Are there pictures of bodies, nightmarish, dream-like landscape depicting the horrors of war, and psychologically disturbing imagery? And don't even get me STARTED on how much art there would be of Darth Vader: an imposing figure of the Empire, the shadow of Death. The subtle dissent towards the system in artwork, the fear of being caught for speaking against it, so some artist make subtle declarations of intent and many are dragged away by the Empire for refusing to stick to established ideals.
And after the Empire falls, the collective relief. But for many, the nightmares will never cease. Art may help citizens remember the battles which were covered up in the past.
And the amount of cultures that are affected by all of this, too. Anyways, I would love to hear anyone's opinions on what Art looks like in Star Wars, because I'm an art hoe
if you're in the US (unsure about other countries but i'm sure this isn't isolated) then PLEASE pay attention to the weather this week and next week!! IT'S GOING TO BE COLD AS FUCK AND I MEAN WAY COLDER THAN USUAL!! It rarely gets below 30 here and it's supposed to get down to like 13 F on friday night. cold. COLD!!!
leave your faucets dripping so they dont freeze or burst (i think anything below 25 means freezing)
make sure you have candles/batteries/flashlights/blankets/warm clothes in case the worst happens and you lose power bc it doesn't take long for hypothermia to set in
have food that you dont need to cook and is non perishable
KEEP YOUR PETS INSIDE IF IT GETS THAT COLD KEEP THEM BABIES WARM KEEP EM SAFE KEEP THEIR PAWBS COZY!!!!
there's a ton of resources out there (and here on tumblr) for what to do in extreme cold weather, how to stay warm, emergency situations, dealing with snow/hail/ice/etc.
please stay safe, stay warm, ya know. many people who dont experience cold weather or extreme weather conditions regularly might have no idea what to do. dont fucking make fun of ppl in warmer climates who are uninformed or unaware of how to deal with snow or cold. when texas had that power outage a few years ago, everyone was "lol thats what u get for being a shitty state" shut the FUCK up. the people most affected by the power outage were marginalized and lower income communities. not everyone came out of that situation alive, families and kids included.
be kind, help your neighbors, keep your pets inside, and take a warm bath <3
It was at that moment, Jigen knew he’d messed up. Maybe he shouldn’t have admitted anything.
“Nothin’ much,” he mumbles, “just…just shot a guy is all. He’s fine. I think.” He scowls, mad that he’d gotten tangled up with someone like that. “He was a dumbass. Got what was comin’ to him. It’s fine though.”

And she continues to sob... And sob... And sob... With Nick’s spider-like metallic hand still gripping her shoulder all the while. Daphne sobs until she is finally out of breath and the well of her tears, 200 hundred years deep, has run bone dry.

Yo hi! I’m very sorry to bother you, just reaching out if you’d be so kind to check the post that I pinned on my blog and maybe give it a little help by boosting/sharing it? it’s for my cat who is in need of dire help. It would really mean the world to me if you do and I understand if you don’t, still appreciate you and stay safe! Btw, please do send me a msg to reply or answer the ask privately instead as I dont want other blogs to think im a spambot or what, once again im sorry for asking this, praying you’d consider! 🥲
SCAM WARNING TO ANYONE READING:
I've received multiple IDENTICAL asks like this from different accounts, to the kind souls that want to help: THIS IS FAKE.
It is very frustrating to see more and more scams like this as someone who genuinely needed help with something similar before.
(Late) httyd anniversary screencap study pt. 2 <3 + process video! (I never show mine cuz they’re full of chem equations and jumpscares but this one is ok <3)
Disclaimer: These all take place in the same setting. The stories will not be listed in chronological order, as I'm not the only person writing in this setting and there would be significant gaps for stories I haven't written. None of these are publicly available (yet). Most stories will fall under the genres of horror or modern fantasy.
- The Witch's Daughter: The story of a young girl growing up in a town that no longer exists. The story spans eight chapters and two acts, detailing the events that lead to the destruction of a small town on the shore of Lake Erie. One of the two acts is currently finished. Much of the plot is recycled from an old Monster of the Week campaign I used to run. MOTW will come up a lot further down this post.
- The Woman From Elsewhere: A direct prequel to The Witch's Daughter, detailing the events that set up for the town's destruction in TWD. Set in the 1800s. This is more of a short story than a massive writing project, but it's important worldbuilding.
- The Threshold Initiative: What was originally intended to be a novel-length sequel story to my girlfriend's MOTW campaign, and is now an entire sequel campaign featuring the same party, just a different GM (me). The story follows a party of supernaturally-inclined individuals escorting a team of researchers on an expedition into an extra-dimensional superstructure. Lots of fucked up nightmare fuel ensues. Think The Southern Reach Trilogy meets House of Leaves meets Monster Hunter.
- We Need to Talk About Audrey: A direct prequel to The Threshold Initiative. The CEO of the Blakewood Biomedical Corporation recruits a willing individual to check in on her only daughter at the university she attends. Disturbing truths about the family's history are unearthed.
- Your Back is Killing You: The only completed story on this list! A short twine game detailing a recurring nightmare had by one of the setting's most important characters. Set between Hymn For The Godless (the current MOTW campaign) and The Threshold Initiative. You can play it here! No prior experience with this setting or its lore required.
- Blood and Liquor: A side story set in 1920s Pennsylvania, during a war between two crime families; one of vampires and one of vampire hunters. Contains some setup for events from TTI and beyond, but is largely its own thing. If you like stories about bootleggers, vampires, The Italian Mafia, androgynous priests, and world class dental care, this one's for you
- Flesh in The Water: Set a decade after The Threshold Initiative, a team of marine biologists journey to a new depth of the ocean, uncovered by a recent earthquake. The team must wrestle with the consequences of their lead researcher's past, and uncover the true nature of a force long thought dead.
- Project Apostle - Prototype: Project Apostle, the magnum opus of former Blakewood Biomedical CEO Noah Blakewood, did not so much have humble beginnings as it did horrific ones. The consequences of Mr. Blakewood's actions have rippled out for decades, and much of that burden falls on one Jill Faulkner, who had her life ruined by the project and now sifts through its ashes to find some meaning in her suffering. The second twine game on this list.
