some people think writers are so eloquent and good with words, but the reality is that we can sit there with our fingers on the keyboard going, “what’s the word for non-sunlight lighting? Like, fake lighting?” and for ten minutes, all our brain will supply is “unofficial”, and we know that’s not the right word, but it’s the only word we can come up with…until finally it’s like our face got smashed into a brick wall and we remember the word we want is “artificial”.

Not sure if this has been added yet but the mobile app version of drive (on android at least) will not give you the option to access privacy in the settings drop down, but if you manually set your window to desktop view it will.

Hey everyone, I know it's going to be a busy day for a lot of people, but Google enrolled everyone over 18 into their AI program automatically.

If you have a google account, first go to gemini.google.com/extensions and turn everything off.

Then you need to go to myactivity.google.com/product/gemini and turn off all Gemini activity tracking. You do have to do them in that order to make sure it works.

Honestly, I'm not sure how long this will last, but this should keep Gemini off your projects for a bit.

I saw this over on bluesky and figured it would be good to spread on here. It only takes a few minutes to do.

Fun fact about me: I was born in a small town in the middle of the desert that like was right out of nightvale. We had street cleaners, UFO sightings, mysterious lights, a ghost town next door, a superpit mine, run ins with snakes and mysterious holes. Sometimes I'd go on holiday to see the breathing rocks. I thought all of this was completely normal until I moved to a suburban town and talked to other kids.

Also I grew up in a cult, not that I was aware of that, but it certainly means I have some, ah, opinions on things in star wars.

(I don't know if these are interesting but I have a lot of weird facts and stories)

since skelly crews final is about to come out I would like to drop my obscure theory as to who I think Jod might be based on mostly vibes, and a few character traits.

I think he's Jaybo Hood, this kid from the clone wars episode mystery of a thousand moons.

now, at first I was just like "haha their names are kind of similar," but our first introduction to this kid is him having reprogramed a bunch of droids to be his servants, which would align with how Jod treats droids. not to mention his affinity for droids could be a sign of early force sensitivity, much like Anakin in episode I.

secondly, there was his line in episode 4 where he says the air taste like ashy dust and reminds him of his home planet. Jaybo's planet Iego as we saw it in the clone wars was surrounded by a lazer web that destroyed anything trying to leave which would certainly leave a strong impression of ashy dust. As a bonus note, Iego is part of the ash worlds sector. Coincidence? I mean probably, but it is fun to think about.

As a third point, there are similarities that can be drawn between Iego's moon web and the barrier. Star wars is a fan of it's narrative repetition. I think putting him in a position where he's trapped on a planet by a planet wide security system would fall into the "it's like poetry, it rhymes" category.

Now onto things mentioned in interviews.

Jude Law has spoken a few times about how Jod didn't really have a childhood; it was snatched away from him and all he sees when he looks at the kids are small adults. He doesn't understand why they can't just survive, why they're so inexperienced. He has no real concept of innocence.

That would align with a kid like Jaybo who has had to take what he can to get in a pretty rough situation. Not to mention his introduction is sending his reprogrammed battle droid out to the jedi with the message "The venerable Jaybo Hood requests an audience" (venerable beings someone accorded a great deal of respect especially because of age wisdom or character) despite the fact he's a ten year old kid.

Jude Law also speaks several times about drawing inspiration from Han Salo for Jod.

if you look at the behind the scenes notes on wikipidia it says Jaybo Hood was described by Dave Filoni as "a cross between a young Anakin and a young Han Solo."

None of this is really enough for a full theory, I just think its fun to think about. Jod could be someone from legends, someone entirely original, a jedis kid, or somehow a Palpatine clone (given the prevalence of project necromancer in recent media.) Really I just hope they give us some kind of payoff to explain some of their writing decisions.

Sabine is trying to reach something on a high shelf:

Sabine: Aagghh. Hey, big guy, could you grab that thing for me?

Zeb: What? Why?

Sabine: What do you mean 'why'? You're tall, you're suposed to grab the tall things for people.

Zeb: That's not even a real rule! Can't you climb on the counter or somethin'?

Sabine: I mean I COULD, but what if I fall and your baby sister gets hurt?

Zeb: That's a YOU problem. Find a way to get it yourself, I'm not everyone's tall-thing-reacher-guy.

Kallus walks in with a datapad, clearly on a mission to collect things

Kallus: Hmm.....

Kallus: Zeb dear could I borrow you to grab that box up there? It appears to be slightly out of my reach.

Zeb: *through gritted teeth while glaring at Sabine* Yes love...

Sabine: *snickering violently*

19 years old vs 29 years old

Honestly it's kinda like comparing my lowest point to my highest.

Suffice to say I've changed quite a bit, but I'm a lot more authentic now.

If anyone wants to do this feel free to 🧡💜

It is my birthday in 2 days and as someone who is *ahem* maybe a little to old to still be on tumblr, I thought I’d make a lil tag game, I love lil picrews and it’s fun way to “face reveal” without showing my face

So as i reminisce over my bdays I made a side by side of how I looked 10 years ago vs now (and by god do I feel old)

Me in my teenage years vs me in my twenties.

From emo kid to weird goth mortician….

Link to Picrew but feel free to use whichever one you want or draw one yourself!

Feel free to add yours and don’t feel obligated if you get tagged

Oooh, for the Wip Title Game, I'm curious about your Zeb inspired by cats art! :3 Thank you!

thank you for the ask 💜

sometimes when I'm feeling a little down or creatively blocked i find funny pictures of cats and try to draw Zeb in their poses. this is an older one but cleaning it up is on my to do list.

[solsilverpine]

For the WiP meme: life finds a way? Please!

hey anon! the fic is called Fate uh finds a way, it is a play on the jarrasic park quote tho.

The summary for this fic is: The Ashla has been trying to bring together the warrior, the child and the fool to set them on the path to finding Lira San since the clone wars. They just haven’t figured that out yet.

It’s basically a series of snippets told from Hondo’s POV in which every few years he does something that through a series of increasingly bizarre circumstances Kallus and Zeb find themselves getting involved in. From wonky ship controls, to petty theft, to space dinosaurs will these three ever complete a single task successfully?

[solsilverpine]

Ooooooh! I would love to know more about Retirement fic or Zeb inspired by cats for the Wip title game! 👀👀

Thank you for the ask 💜🧡

For retirement fic I had another ask about that one here.

And for Zeb inspired by cats, sometimes when I'm feeling down or having a bit of an art block I find funny pics of cats and use them for Zeb inspo like so:

*kicks in the door* WHAT HAPPENS AT SPACE VEGAS FOR WIP GAME MY BELOVED!!!!!

ANYTHING FOR YOU MY LOVE 💜🧡

Full title: What happens in space Vegas, stays in your file for the rest of your life. A then and now love story from a Galaxy far far away.

Then: Taking time out of his Honour guard training to attend a 6 month course aimed at republic rich kids is the last thing Zeb wants to do. But it was offered to neutral planets and the queen thought it was a good idea to send someone, Ashla help him so did Zeb. But he isn’t prepared for just how annoying they are. And he definitely isn’t prepared to fall in love with one of them.

Now: Alexsandr Kallus-Orrelias could have been a perfect ISB officer, or so he’s told time and again by his superiors, if it weren’t for his last name. A tie to a incident, to a world the empire tries to forget about. He claims it was an act of youthful rebellion, marrying someone ones parents wouldn’t approve of in Canto Bight was not unheard of at the time, it means nothing now and his loyalty to the empire is unwavering. Some days he tells that lie so well he almost believes it. A part of him wishes it were true, it would be so much easier then knowing he’d helped kill the only person he’d ever loved enough to consider leaving the empire for. But he’s made his home with his grief and mourning. So when he glimpses a familiar face amongst a group of rebels that blow up his hanger and nearly sucks him into space Kallus is, among other things, confused.

Hello! For the WIP title game: Please can you tell us about the Retirement fic?

Sorry I'm a little behind on these, but thank you for the ask 🧡💜

Retirement fic is one I started a while back that is just more or less the two of them enjoying their current attempt at retirement on a little Farm in Lira San. I wanted to explore them as a couple who already know each other so well and give them the freedom and time and space to try new things. The direction this one took was Zeb surprising Kal with lingerie and feeling a little unsure of how he's going to react because simply put…it's something that hasn't had a chance to come up yet. So it's like spicey and domestic but also soft with a focus on the praise and adoration and just "that's my person and their gorgeous". But as a side note my main reason for writing it is because I wanted to practise writing and posting spice before it comes up in WatL. I still pretty new to sharing my writing and can get pretty in my head about weather or not I am conveying things in a way that other people will be able to read it and enjoy it. So it's very much a passion project and I'm looking forward to having it completed.
