Hey,
for the wips tag game. If you don't mind, could you elaborate on TBB Fic 17 some more? I haven't really been into Star Wars for years now, but that sounds as if stuff is about to go down/just went down and I'm definitely interested in that.
If you don't want to, that's fine, too. Don't feel pressured.
Ah yes, fic 17
Also recognised as ‘the trafficking fic’
Where Tech gets trafficked :3
Here’s a snippet!!
It had been a simple objective. Lift up the box, take a maximum of 7 steps outside, place the box down, then walk back inside, and return to datapad and ice-pack. But nooooo. No. That’s too easy. Too simple. Though what was he expecting? This was not Pabu. They were not protected by the Republic. And this was not an innocent civilian. Tech sighed softly, resting his head to the side. At least the floor was cool. His hands and feet were bound together, goggles having long been ripped from his face- though judging from the occasional clink and slide, they were somewhere in the back, the glass shattered and the whole thing out of his reach. The tape over his mouth clung tight against his skin, while the knot of the blindfold dug into the back of his head.
He tried shifting, only to receive a whack from, what he assumed to be, a cane. It was certainly a curious choice of weapon for a kidnapper, but this was turning out to be a quite successful operation, so who was he to judge?
Tech couldn’t do much but quietly listen to surrounding sounds from where he was, though he wasn’t Hunter. He couldn't just pinpoint his exact coordinates. However, he was able to pick up on the sound of a nasally vendor that they always had to walk by to get to the marauder- from the way his voice disappeared behind him, Tech could give a rough estimate to where he was. Though how long that estimate would last, greatly depended on how his circumstances changed.
As much as Tech despised being rescued, the feeling of being a burden on others made him want to hurl, he would do anything for someone to get him out of this situation- especially as the uneasy anxiety in his stomach continued to bubble. To the best of his ability, he tried to curl up, imaging he was anywhere but there.
But then for a moment, he could’ve sworn up and down he heard someone call out his name. Though this was only for a moment, which dissipated as the sound of the engine engulfed his senses, and the feeling of lift off left the planet, and his hope of rescue, behind.

Later on there features my first clone OCs
Tripwire, Range, Quarter and Axel (these are older sketches)
Tripwire was named by @clownery-and-fuckery
It’s more me exploring darker themes in fanfiction using one of my favourite boys, while also exploring the rat’s relationship without Tech (this was started pre-season 3 and now I ignore season 3)

I’m dying for video footage of this to see the tone of the conversation because I’ve really always kinda thought the reason Macden was taking so long or was pretty subtle was bc of Glenn
Not that he is necessarily AGAINST it. But i’ve always thought he was definitely hesitant to canonise anything past subtlety. This is very, very interesting

supporting communities & people impacted by the Southport attack and the far-right riots in the UK
here is a list of community fundraisers I found, starting with those aiming to support the Southport community after the appalling attack at a children dance party, to the fundraisers helping those affected by the subsequent racist and Islamophobic far-right/nazi riots
Edited on 5 August to include Middlesbrough fundraisers. Edited on 6 August to correct the link on the Books for Spellow Lane fundraiser, to adjust the name change for the Belfast fundraiser, and to adjust the wording in the second last paragraph.
Southport:
Southport Strong Together Appeal - organised by the community foundation for Merseyside, for those affected by the Southport knife attack
United for Southport families - the funds will be distributed among the nine families of the children who were at the party
Swifties for Southport - a fundraiser for the Alder Hey Children's charity, which supports the victims and the affected families, as well as first responders and clinicians. Extra funds will also support the wider Southport community
Fundraiser for the Southport Mosque - a fundraiser to aid rebuilding or possibly re-locating the Southport Mosque after the damages it suffered during the riots
Rebuilding Windsor Mini Mart - fundraiser to rebuild the locally-owned grocery store that was targeted during the attacks, broken into, and looted
Liverpool:
Fundraiser for the Spellow Hub - the Spellow Hub was broken into, looted and set on fire at night during the riots. The Spellow Hub is a newly created one-of-a-kind (in the UK) institution, which consists of a library as well as a community centre with a mission to help people get education and pathways to work
Books for Spellow Lane - another fundraiser for the library in the Spellow Hub, to replace the books and rebuild the library there edit: included the correct link
Hartlepool:
Fundraiser for the Nasir Mosque - the Nasir Mosque was attacked following Southport riots; this fundraiser is organised by Hartlepool citizens to help the mosque deal with the damages as well as to show appreciation for the role of the mosque in the community. edit: the funds will be also distributed to the local community!
Rebuilding the Farm Shop - the shop was targeted during the riots, and when the owner and his son tried to protect it, they were also violently attacked. The fundraiser is to help fix the damages to the store.
Sunderland:
help rebuild Citizens Advice Sunderland offices after arson - two of the Citizens Advice Sunderland offices were set on fire during the riots, and one of them is completely destroyed.
Hull:
Hull Help for Refugees - a local fundraiser to support the Hull Help for Refugees charity, the donated money will be re-distributed to community members affected by the riots
Fundraiser for Hull Help for Refugees and Welcome House in Hull - collected money will be donated to the two charities
Belfast:
help fix racially motivated damages - originally the fundraiser for the Sahara Shisha Cafe which was targeted by the far right in Belfast during the riots, now a fundraiser for all affected businesses in the area. edited to reflect the change of the name of the fundraiser to avoid any confusion
Middlesbrough:
Supporting residents after the riots - Middlesbrough has suffered so much during the riots, lots of businesses as well as just regular family homes were vandalised, had their windows smashed or even were broken into. This fundraiser wants to distribute the funds between affected people to help them fix the damages, and to generally support the local community. the newest fundraiser, imo potentially the most urgent one
Fundraiser for a Care worker's car which was set on fire - a car belonging to an employee of a care agency was set on fire during the riots while he was on shift at a care home.
If you want to donate locally but there is no fundraiser to support where you live, consider donating to your local charities oriented towards Muslim or PoC communities, or towards anti-racist and refugee organizations! And go support your local Muslim/Arab/Black/Asian/Refugee owned businesses!
If you have any information about other local fundraisers, feel free to add to the post or don't hesitate to let me know and I will add them here! We have seen so much hate in the past few days, we have to stay strong and keep supporting each other!
Stay safe everyone 💛

Do you guys notice how when Shawn Fain, president of the United Auto Workers union, started planning a general strike, he did it by a) targeting his messaging towards unions with the ability to safely and effectively strike in large numbers, b) laid out a clear, actionable plan for those unions to follow (setting contracts to all expire at the same time, since many unions cannot strike while under contract), c) is using union contracts to set clear, actionable demands that can be met in order to gauge success and provide an end goal, and d) started organizing FOUR YEARS before the proposed strike date to give people the chance to plan accordingly, because it takes a really freaking long time to get tens of millions of people organized?
You notice how he didn't do it by slapping a message on Twitter saying 'hey nobody go to work on Monday, that'll really show 'em'?
