This was supposed to be my May the 4th Art but every day is Star Wars day if you're hyperfixated enough

so let me post it eleven days later. Okayy, but I have to admit that it really bummed me out how I wasn't able to finish this on time, bec I had planned this since January.

Rebelcaptain was my first Star Wars ship and since I heard this quote, Jyn and Cassian are all that ever came to my brain.

Here are the clean version (for those who are still reading this and ILYASM btw)

Today on Posts That Will Serve As A Blocklist but whatever:

It's genuinely at the point where people who act all dismissive and superior about the Star Wars animated series, and ESPECIALLY of Ahsoka specifically as a character--snidely dismissing anything that involves TCW-original characters or arcs--are just. Objectively hysterically wrong.

Like.

Phantom Menace released in 1999.

Revenge of the Sith was six years later, in 2005.

TCW started airing in 2008. Ahsoka started existing in the narrative literally three years after RotS dropped.

Even if you start counting as far back as you possibly can, back in TPM (wherein Anakin was an actual baby), the prequel era only existed at all without her for nine years.

Ahsoka Tano has been a narratively significant, load-bearing major protagonist of the Star Wars franchise for, as of this post, sixteen (16) years. Very nearly twice as long as her era ever existed without her! At this point, if you are determined to act like she's some handwavey 'new' star war idea whose impact on the living tapestry of the GFFA can be easily dismissed, that's...

...like, full offense but that's kind of on you, man.

Dogs Bracket is here! It turns out a lot of these dogs are horses, but there was exactly 32, which is perfect for our purposes 🐶🐴🦁

And finally, i wanted to include every animal illustration, but i did leave out the two from Blue Carbuncle with dead geese, those are not dogs they are ingredience.

Edit: I realised i completely messed up the order of polls in the original bracket, all fine for round 1's results but would have caused problems for round 2. The current one is correct, but obviously had to be shuffled around a lot, so the numbers by each one show their order from round 1 for future reference, sorry bout that!

Just finished painting gnome versions of Jyn and Cassian while watching Gnomeo and Juliet and Rogue One. I think Cassian turned out a little better (I did his hat blue to represent his parka).

HEYOOO angsty old hoennshipping LETS GO!! Gave this guy white hair for two reasons: 1. The fun pre ORAS debates of whether that was his hair or his hat, 2. Stress. He's so stressed his hair is almost all white now. Give him the ol' Grimsley treatment.

Sorry to Sapphire Brendan who got the shorter end of the stick out of the two 😭 i have also not yet named his children so they will be tagged later 👍
