STOOOOPP.

STOP PRAISING THE HAT MAN. STOP PRAISING THE AHSOKA SERIES. SABINE WAS ENOUGH. SHE WAS A BADASS, A WARRIOR, A HACKER, AN ARTIST, A REBEL AND A HERO ON HER OWN. SHE DIDN'T NEED COOL FORCE POWERS TO BE GREAT. SHE DIDN'T NEED THEM TO WIELD THE DARKSABER. SHE DIDN'T NEED THEM TO SAVE LIVES. SHE WAS GREAT BEING HERSELF. AHSOKA SHOULD HAVE TAKEN SABINE AS HER APPRENTICE DESPITE HER NOT BEING FORCE-SENSITIVE TO PROVE THAT YOU DON'T NEED TO BE BORN SPECIAL IN THIS GALAXY TO BECOME SOMEONE EXTRAORDINARY. (that would be a hella statement to stick it to the Council) WHY DOES STAR WARS HAVE TO ALWAYS REVOLVE AROUND JEDI, WHY CAN'T WE HAVE A GREAT STRONG MAIN CHARACTER WITHOUT THE FORCE.

she was always enough

#im so mad #i love ezra so im glad hes safe #BUT COME ON #i loved sabine so much in rebels #and i loved her here to but i wanted her to realise she doesn't need the force #that she never needed it #ahsoka show #ahsoka #ahsoka series #ahsoka tano #sabine wren #ezra bridger #dave filoni #star wars #star wars rebels #that's not how the force works

*Listens to Supermassive Black Hole/7 Nation Army remix*

*Thinks in montage*

Could Anakin Skywalker, or the jedi as a whole, use the force to make a super massive black hole?

#star wars #anakin skywalker #anakin's the only jedi i know of so far that would be dramatic enough to try #jedi #that's not how the force works #but what if it did for cinematic reasons #imbibe with me on muse and the white stripes

[cuddles-with-dragons]

the SW hat man is just a force ghost that likes wearing hats and haunting sleep deprived characters

his favorite place to haunt is wherever the 501st is because lots of spooking opportunities

CAMP NANO DAY 4

[AO3]

============•×Ωו============

The other night I had a dream

It was a world full of kings and queens

But it was cold, dark as the night

We were the fire under moonlit skies

We were divided, we were the same

And we were free, but we all wore chains

We couldn't see it, but we created

A place between truth and overrated

============•×Ωו============

Obi-Wan woke from his most recent series of visions gasping for breath, the remembered terror and heartbreak clinging to his consciousness like tar. He clutched his chest in a futile effort to calm his racing heart. That was the fifth night in a row that he'd woken from intensely clear and concise visions unlike anything he'd ever experienced before, and he didn't know how much longer he'd be able to handle them on his own. Not like I have much of a choice, he thought bitterly, pointedly ignoring the missing feeling of a braid over his shoulder.

After wiping his drying tears and shoving the emotions left over from his vision into a box in the back of his mind, Obi-Wan reluctantly sat up and leaned back against the wall of the section of sewer he'd claimed for his "quarters". He knew from prior experience that he wouldn't be able to get to sleep until he mediated, but after repeatedly getting no answers for why he was being forced to endure these vivid visions, he was getting more than a little burnt out on meditation.

Letting out a breath of frustration, he let himself fall into a deeper meditation than he'd tried since he first stepped foot on this Force forsaken planet. He flung out into the Force, Why? Why are you showing me all this? What do you want me to do with this knowledge?!

============•×Ωו============

We had a plan to build a wall

A great divide that would never fall

To separate us from all the pain

And keep our skeletons locked away

And brick by brick we built it so thick

That it blacked out the sky and all the sunlight

And one by one we all became numb

We were making the bullets to a broken gun

============•×Ωו============

<They're wrong,> came a whisper just within his range of perception.

What? Obi-Wan thought in confusion. Who's wrong? Why are they wrong?

<...di are wrong,> it whispered again. Obi-Wan sank ever so slightly deeper into the Force in an effort to hear it clearer. <They're wrong, the Jedi are wrong>

The Jedi? What were they wrong about?

<Everything.>

============•×Ωו============

If I could just see it all

Just like a fly on the wall

Would I be able to accept what I can't control?

And would I share what I saw?

Or just sit back and ignore

Like nothing never happened

Haven't seen you before?

============•×Ωו============

Obi-Wan thought about that for an entire, blissfully vision free week before he sank into a deep meditation just before his sleep shift, looking for more answers. You said the Jedi are wrong about everything, but I've been taught all my life the exact opposite of that. Please, can you explain what you meant by that?

<The code has long been corrupted. The fundamental teachings of the Order are wrong, full of hypocrisy and falsities,> comes the whisper, along with flashes of both his own past and the visions that had set Obi-Wan on this path in the first place. Memories of being pulled to the side to be scolded for starting fights with his fellow initiates while Bruck, the actual instigator, walked away grinning in triumph. Snippets of missions to slavery invested planets to actively aid the slavers instead of the slaves. Feelings of being held to an impossible standard whilst constantly being scolded for each and every single shortcoming, real or imagined, briefly bombarded Obi-Wan from all sides before the whisper chased them away. <It shouldn't be this way. The Jedi are out of balance, within themselves and within the galaxy itself. The Order is wrong. The Jedi are wrong. You can fix it.>

============•×Ωו============

I'm on the run from the thief I let into my head

I know, I hold the keys, so don't be scared

When I turn and shout

============•×Ωו============

Obi-Wan's head spun at the thought of him fixing anything even half as large as the corruption of the entire Jedi order. He was reeling at the implications and could only find the presence of mind to ask a single question. How?

And the Force unfurled as it showed him exactly that.

============•×Ωו============

I don't think I need you anymore

Take your words and your lies and just beat it

I don't think I need you anymore

Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it

I wanna live, I wanna be the change

We can all be kings and queens

If we can just learn to believe

If we can just learn to believe

============•×Ωו============

After helping the Young finish the civil war on Melida/Daan once and for all, Obi-Wan used the one functional long distance comm on the entire planet not to call Master Jin, like Nield and Cerasi had probably expected, but his longtime friend and pain in the rear end, Quinlan Vos.

The audio-only comm was answered with a soft buzz. "This is Vos," came the slightly tinny voice of the Kiffar.

Obi-Wan stifled a choked sob as he spoke to his friend for the first time in almost a year. "Hey Quin. It's sure been awhile."

There was muffled cursing on the other end as Quinlan seemed to have dropped his personal comm in his shock. "Obes? Oh Force, is that really you?"

"Yeah," Obi-Wan breathed out shakily. "Yeah, it's me. Hey listen, are you and Master Tholme free? I could use a lift, and there's some things I think the two of you need to know. About the Order's history."

"Where are you?" Quinlan asked without hesitation, audibly changing locations. An indistinct question from a half remembered voice barely registered over the comm, but the older teen's slightly muffled reply made it obvious who it was. "It's Obi-Wan, he needs a lift."

"Melida/Daan," he nearly whispered in relief as silent tears started dripping down his cheeks. "I'm on Melida/Daan. I'll forward you the exact coordinates as well as where to land when you get here. Th-thank you, Quin." Thank you for believing me, for coming for me, he didn't say. The Force draped itself comfortingly around his shoulders, sending warm reassurance tingling across his senses.

"Always, Obes. All you have to do is call," the Kiffar replied seriously.

============•×Ωו============

I don't think I need you anymore

Take your words and your lies and just beat it

I don't think I need you anymore

Take the hurt and the pain, I don't need it

I wanna live, I wanna be the change

We can all be kings and queens

If we can just learn to believe

If we can just learn to believe

============•×Ωו============

<Change. Change it all. Start anew, start again, do it right. Fix it, Obi-Wan Kenobi, Chosen Son of the Force.>

============•×Ωו============

Aaaaand that's a wrap! I'm not sure if I'll continue this one or not, yet ¯⁠\⁠_⁠(⁠⊙⁠_⁠ʖ⁠⊙⁠)⁠_⁠/⁠¯ I had a crap ton of fun writing it, but it also took me, like, five multi-hour long breaks to do so lol

The lyrics are from the song Fly on The Wall by Thousand Foot Krutch, which actually inspired this fic! If you haven't listened to it, I'd highly suggest doing so, it's honestly amazing.

Also, I've finally figured out how to do the "keep reading" thing on mobile! Let me know if you guys like it or not, and if I should keep doing it or not, please? 乁⁠|⁠ ⁠･⁠ ⁠〰⁠ ⁠･⁠ ⁠|⁠ㄏ

Also also, I've decided that, since I'm modding the Patrol Partners event as well as doing Camp NaNoWriMo this month, I'm taking Sundays off from writing. I'll post fics on AO3 that haven't been posted yet, I'll answer replies, asks, and DMs, but I won't be doing any writing on Sundays. Therefore, there's no day 2 fic that y'all missed, I just didn't write one (⁠^⁠～⁠^⁠;⁠)⁠ゞ (I'm going to post this at the end of my author's note tomorrow as well so more of my readers see it, but I wanted to put it here now while I'm thinking about it)

[themonopolyhat]

i cannot overstate my love for the ao3 tag That's Not How The Force Works

i mean no two people probably agree on exactly how the Force does work but like

that tag? that tag is shorthand for "i am going to do whatever the hell i want" and i am here for it

i like fic that cleaves close to canon representations of the Force just fine, your honor

i also like time travel, synesthetic sensory fuckery, body swaps, extra-canon philosophical meandering drawn from the author's headcanons, soulbond aus, weird possession shit, psychic hijinks, and et cetera

it just kills me that we have repurposed this canon quote like "yeah? and???"

#star wars #the force #that's not how the force works #fanfiction #writing #ao3

[catmask]

with that said there are characters that a fat maybe not canonically but they are spiritually. to me. they may not be drawn that way but i know whats true. ive seen it like a sort of prophet

#serizawa. send post #he did NOT live his life as a shut in for almost a whole decade to be drawn SKINNY! not by me at least #also like so many characters over the age of 30. no more fit moms and dads GIVE them that divorce body fat NOW! #*strikes you down with the force of god* #but honestly alternative for serizawa that ive always liked is that he gains weight when he starts working for reigen #because he can now go out and eat new foods :D he has actually gained an appetite because he's moving around more #and isnt just eating like instant ramen or whatever his mom brings him #see how easy it is you can just believe it with your heart. you just have to find the ways to make true waht u know #scratchpost #txt

[anneapocalypse]

So, just curious how many writers and creators will have to be forcibly outed by relentless harassment before we acknowledge that "This queer characters was written by a cishet person and that's why they're bad" is not good criticism.

#yes i'm just going to come out and say it i'm talking about sera #not exclusively but i am talking about her #'but her writer actually iS A--' you don't know that! it doesn't matter! and i don't care! #just say that you do not like the character. #people will reblog posts about the latest actor or YA author or whatever getting forced out of the closet and be like #'wow. :( that's terrible.' #and then GO RIGHT BACK TO DOING IT #when are we going to learn #when are we going to stop doing this BEFORE somebody is forcibly outed #because in practical terms #that means you have to be okay with queer characters being written by straight people. #you have to stop weaponizing that against writers you don't like. #you have to be willing to critique the writing on its own merits #without using the writer's (assumed) identity to prop up your arguments #that's how it works #but who wants to actually change the way they talk about media #when tearing apart people's identities for clout is far more entertaining. #gwaren exports #fandom problems #fandom critical

[shivunin]

Because I have just seen this specific thing for the second time, I would like to say:

If I reblog your art, I do not expect you to reblog (or share!) my fic in return

If I comment on your fic, I do not expect you to comment on (or read!) mine in return

My enjoyment of anyone's work does not come with strings or expectations

My friendship is not a bill that you will have to pay later

That's it!

#the fucking obsession with fandom becoming ~content creation~ has got to stop. this is not a business. #i don't like it when someone acts like i owe them because they complimented my work #and i will never do that to someone else #kindness has to be freely given or it isn't kindness; it's manipulation #this just. makes me feel super gross and it upsets me that it's happened twice #and that both people explicitly stated in their profiles that this is an expectation they have of fandom #you can't form a community by force. that's not how it works. #anyways. rant over. i just want it to be known that i'm not expecting anything from anyone lol #if i talk to you or hang out it's because i want to. i don't want anything from you except you know #kindness and companionship or w/e #bleargh. gonna go play a game or something. #dixeram

you see price sitting like this when you walk into a room post mission- and you know exactly what it is he needs.

he's licking at you and holding your thighs open with his rough palms- and you can't take it. his calluses and his beard and the fabric of his sleeves are rubbing at your legs just right- but not enough for you to lose focus on his hot tongue rubbing on you and in you and you've never been wetter in your LIFE.

his only problem? you're still moving too much. he can't reach where he wants to inside of you because you keep wiggling out of his way. his hands want to touch you everywhere- not just hold your thighs still. this is when he begins to squeeze at you everywhere, and tell you to rest your thighs on his shoulders.

"b-but price- hhnngh ohmygod- i c-can't. they're too big. thighs are too big"

you whine at the loss of contact, but then you look down and see him staring at you with massive pupils and a wet face. "lovie- my shoulders are broad for a reason. rest your thighs on em and i swear they'll have enough room"

and you listen, and you're crushing his ears with your thighs, and he's never been happier. the next time you look down? he's rutting into the mattress and you see his hips stutter when he groans into you and your vision goes white

(@chamomiletealeaf and i had SUCH A HORNY discussion about this and she told me to post it so here i am- and also omg photo creds to her. we've gotta reign it in lmfao)

#if only you guys could see our chats. they're so so filthy #shout out to the first friend i've made on this lil side blog of mine- bless up! #i still don't know how to tag SHIT #but imma try my best!! #john price drabble #john price x reader #john price x reader drabble #john price smut #john price x reader smut #oh god how else do i do this this feels so awkward and weird #cod smut #cod x reader #cod drabble #task force 141 #task force 141 x reader #task force 141 smut #uuhhhh #yeah that works enough #im gonna need to be someone's smut protege or something so i can learn LMFAO

Correct me if I'm wrong, but did episode 7 of ahsoka not have sabine doubt whether Palpatine was dead?

WHY?

Why would she doubt that?

What possible reason is there in universe for her to suspect Palpatine might not truly be gone?

It just feels like another stupid attempt by filoni to make his characters out to be better than everyone else and ahead of the curb

Experiments with pupils and mouths that devolved into shenanigans :)

#you can really tell I was having a normal one when I drew these #I like many of the pupil experiments but don't really like mouths on my iterators #i've seen some people do mouths on itties well though #...really enjoyed noisy cat spearmaster with a mouth tbh #no plans on changing how i usually draw things rn. this was just for fun #Sometimes I miss having pupils and mouths to work with (on slugcats and itties) #Not having either on iterators can be a unique challenge that forces me to practice my body language more #which I like drawing anyways so it works out #antennae are suuuper fun to use for expressions too #rain world #flickerdoodles #art #group pic

Zionists want you to conflate Judaism and Zionism. Zionists want you to believe that Judaism cannot exist without Zionism and that all Jews are Zionists. Zionism would have Jews believe that a Jewish state is the only way that they can be safe from antisemitism and will point to any instance of antisemitism as proof that Zionism is the solution- so Zionism wants gentiles to be antisemitic in their support of Palestine. They want you to conflate all Jews with Zionism and the state of Israel, and they want you to treat all Jews regardless of political affiliation as the face of Israel. Antizionist Jews exist, and incidences of antisemitism ostensibly acting against Zionism will not help dismantle the forces propping Zionism up.

Don't do their work for them.

#red rambles #viva palestina #antizionism #i haven't actually seen a lot of antisemitism personally. not recently anyway. but that's more a feature of me not following antisemites #i DO however see a lot of people talking about the people they're seeing throw their support behind antisemites using palestine #as an excuse to conflate all jews with israel #and i cannot stress enough that that is literally what israel and zionist forces abroad WANT. #i am jewish. my entire family is jewish. i want to see palestine free. and i have SEEN how the jewish community gets conflated with israel #both from the inside and out #and i am dead serious when i say that every time someone is antisemitic it strengthens the conviction from people abroad #that it's a terrible sad situation but there's 'no other choice' #if you're being antisemitic you are doing the enemy's work for them. Stop it. #like... look. i am putting this in the tags bc im talking in the tags but i mean this. I do not give a single flying fuck if you personally #are a giant raging antisemite at the moment. Your personal beliefs are your problem and not mine. I do not fucking care. But if you are #being openly and loudly antisemitic *in your support of palestine* you are absolutely not fucking helping. I am so dead serious right now #if you want to raise awareness and you're being antisemitic because of deep held beliefs or whatever i want you to look around and read the #fucking room. Do you understand how much of Israel's international support comes from the idea that they are the only country where jews ar #safe from antisemitism? do you see how every time palestine comes up people point at incidences of antisemitism in anti-genocide actions to #discredit the entire movement? do you not understand how your actions are cutting the movement down at the knees? #i'm jewish and proud of it. i don't like antisemitism. but there's a genocide on and i'd rather work against it than quibble over who i #work alongside. i dont fucking care. you can be as antisemitic as you like in private. stop fucking the movement up. #there are bigger things to worry about here. if i can put aside my own concerns as to who i'm talking to you can hold your tongue #and fight the good fight instead of handing weapons to the people who are trying to fucking flatten gaza.

a what-if i've been thinking about for forever... trucy knowing the truth before anyone could tell her

#trucy wright #apollo justice #ace attorney #.png #ough ough ough how many times has she helped 'ruin' someone's life... #like what if when she was so desperate to help phoenix get acquitted she gets hit in the face with the realization that #she might just be ruining her new-found brother's life too #so yeah. how would she even bring that up #haha hey polly. remember that time i handed you fake evidence. well did you know i saw your bracelet and remembered my mom had one too. fun #by the way did you know she told me she had two and gave one to her first-born who she lost a long time ago #like do we know how much trucy remembers about their mom. no! that's why i think this could work #ough i've wanted to make this comic for so long but i never knew how to format it #well i drew the first panel as warm-up and then was like. why not go all the way.... #that way i'd be forced to really think about composition
