i just saw a post on reddit titled "the writer is cooking but the food doesn't agree with me" and it was about OP clicking off a fic because they don't like the direction it's going in. slightly different context but can we all be more like this reddit OP. i think "the writer is cooking but the food doesn't agree with me" should be the new "don't like don't read." dead doves may give you diarrhea but don't make that everyone else's problem.

"I want to be a dragon."

reblog if it's okay for your mutuals to message you and create an actual friendship, not just interactions

[looseleafteeaves]

Honestly? I want to see this in more fics!

boba fett mandalorian cultural disconnect Core Experiences

- yeahh I understand my language. tries to say more than a single sentence and completely forgets all grammar rules

- related: knowing all the words for whatever your parent talked about the most and nothing else

- pffft I dont subscribe to Well Known Cultural Values I have free will 🙄 Anyways here's one of my normal values that everyone has (its a Cultural Value)

- standing in the corner awkwardly at the function like yeah you all have fun being the things that I am literally also here for being

- inexplicable Soul Duty guilt pit in your stomach over percieved betrayal of you're not even sure what actually. But it's important. youre gonna throw up

- ohhh I'm forgetting (agonizing)

- realizing something you thought was a cultural thing was in fact. a family specific problem. maybe even a parent specific problem

honorable mention: people talking shit about you and you understanding everything but not being able to talk shit back to them so you have to sit there and seethe

For ease, I think I shall do it this way. And yes, I DO adore X!

My word is Suplex, and I was tagged by @adragonsfriend AKA Krayt (which still trips me up here on tumblr.)

I am tagging @yellow-faerie and giving you an amatakka word- Huli. :D

If anyone else wants a word, heres a freebie: Fruit

Now, SUPLEX:

Seek the truth was never easier than when Obi-wan fully opened himself to the Force, diving with arms open to the Unifying Force. —A random snippet that isnt fully developed into a story idea yet.

Under the moons a song rang out- one promising freedom to those strong enough to grasp it. —From an unnamed snippet that exists only in my notes rn

Praying that Jaime wouldn’t get lost within memories again, Khaji Da pulled back. Already, the adrenaline was overproducing. Khaji Da took care of balancing the panic chemicals- ensuring the meeting with Young Justice went well. —From the next chapter of Desperate Measures

Looking upon Marrat, Omi decided it was time to take a leap- of faith, of trust, of the Force. —From the next chapter of Walk the Sands//Desert Speaker

Exposed under the desert heat, D***** surveyed the desert. It was better than he thought he deserved, no matter what Eka had told him. —From an unposted Ekkreth Tale.

“Xiarr? What does that mean? And what does it have to do with me?” —From an unposted work called Breaking the Algorithm.

I hope this suffices, and Kriti, I hope you enjoy!

Rules: tagger gives a word, then for each letter of that word you share a sentence/excerpt from your wips that start with that letter.

I was tagged by @drelmurn and my word is Peanut.

The next word is Suplex, and i'm tagging @looseleafteeaves (you said you liked x now prove it /lh)

Padme is not above being a hypocrite if it gets her what she wants. “What if assassins come while you’re gone?” 

Even without holding it himself, he can sense the saber has seen more than one losing battle.

A'Sharad, Ki-Adi's padawan, would see his own people, pushed to the edges of habitable land, and he would recognize resilience in the clones, but know slavery all too well.

"No holocron, no Jedi dead. Nothing of use.”

Undeniable, in his powers, this has become, and more power, he seeks. Lighting, he throws from his hands, though it is far weakened, from the accounts of the Sith of old.

These young adults of Coruscant have probably seen Jedi before, if not in person, then on the holonews. Mace crosses the room without giving any heed to the attention on him and sits down at a desk in the front row. He is used to standing out wherever he goes, even if Master Cyslin usually takes more of the attention upon herself. 

—All from WIP sections of Biting His Own Tale, except for T, which is from Fragility, a WIP about Mace Windu & Graph Theory

Mood

I would be such a bad narrator. Author would introduce a new character and I’d forget everything except their general vibe, if they talked about things I like talking about, and the place I met them. Name? Face? Immediately gone

[looseleafteeaves]

Do y’all think GFFA fashion has styles for humans that mimic fetishized species? I’m thinking specifically twi’leks, but I’d bet money on others as well.

Like headscarves that mimic lekku…

Or normalized body paint/body modification for “exotic” colors.

I dunno, its just a thought I had and wondered if that would be controversial to people or not.

(To be clear, the headscarves are probably accidentally or in communities that have a large population of twi’lek/twi’lek hybrids. The body paint is probably really bad- like blackface.)

[looseleafteeaves]

@sereinsidhe @nittusidhe saw this and thought of you!!!!

Beskar’ta Necklaces

A style that originates from the planet of Harswee, by the fusion of their own traditional jewelery with mando culture, which later also became popular with the New Mandalorians movement (but with a more simplier design).

Marokkepu is very fun…looking forwards to the next one!

Ok about that Passover inspired Amavikka holiday turns out, there already exists one, created by Fialleril and it’s called Marokkepu and it is way more thought out than anything I could’ve ever coughed out.

This is both very good and bad news for me, cause now I have nothing to distract me from that other “short” fic that has now bloomed into an absolute monstrosity of 20 pages.

Somebody please kill me, or take my iPad, so I can’t write, either one works.

Hey avatar fans. Question. What would this fucker have done if the avatar had been a girl?

[looseleafteeaves]

Blocking people reblogging useless trolls to “hit back” at them is not enough…I must also unfollow the people reblogging the people reblogging useless trolls to “hit back” at them

Big sigh

A Tatooine Poem!

Something for friends to sing together! (Though Ekkreth does love to sing this for Depur!)

Koakatoker Masaker Kkepu Peha

Koakatokip masaker kkepuker te peha Koakatokip masaker kolrutulu te koltiba Koakatokip masaker releelu keik-e-levemure te Koakatokip masaker dedi te dimas Koakatokip masaker raplilu ryalla Koakatokip masaker ralilu kiki utve-e-zublelu te.

Translation:

Never gonna give you up,  Never gonna let you down  Never gonna run around and desert you  Never gonna make you cry,  Never gonna say goodbye  Never gonna tell a lie and hurt you.

Blame @adragonsfriend they dared me to do it because I have time to make silly translations now, lol.

How it would actually translate:

Not past-continuing(never) will give you up Not past-continuing(never) will allow you not-succeed. Not past-continuing(never) will run around and alone you Not past-continuing(never) will force you to cry Not past-continuing(never) will say goodbye Not past-continuing(never) will say a lie and hurt you

I hope you enjoy this- have a great day!

No I want funky biology… not human except a tiny minuscule detail. Give me traits descended from humanoid-humans and only just appearing. Give me dietary restrictions, allergies, sensitivities…

If you say near human and the human just doesn’t grow hair, I stop reading.

(If you add other traits, sure, but not just “Human but this one thing”.)

Hey star wars and sw fandom. hey. Is that a "near-human" you've got there?

or is it literally just a human who's not white.

hmm…

Can't imagine why Kiffar, Koruns and Chalactans might get frequently labeled/discussed as near-human instead of just human. no idea

In all seriousness, this pattern is worse in Legends material based on my limited sample, but very much present in canon. Burn it, maybe.

[looseleafteeaves]

Yessss….

@yellow-faerie my alderaan thoughts boil down to:

1. The language is either booming or lyrical, there is no in between. Its used to communicate across mountains

2. The word Leia is beloved.

3. Bail is alderaani in origin- means the Just One.

4. Breha is a flower- it grows on top of mountains and means to endure.

5. Three pillars- wisdom, courage, and strength. (And an expectation to do good so good may return back to you.
