pains me that there's simply not enough info on star wars in-universe entertainment and pop culture for my liking. i want to know what star wars version of the godfather looks like. i wanna know what kind of space fanfiction a pantoran teenager would read, the kind of space tiktok edits they would make. i want to know the star wars equivalent for whatever the hell that is happening with ben affleck and matt damon. i want to see a coruscant news outlet publish an article with a headline "M'ett Sp'Amon not wearing a wedding ring again during another visit to Beng Spifflek's house. which could mean nothing"

I will not look in the forums. Looking in the forums is the happiness killer. Looking in the forums will only serve to frustrate me. I will look at awesome bug instead.

A vent

The hate from readers & other writers re long chapters & fics is mind boggling. I really am bummed out that I couldn't drop 86k in one go because those 86k words were crafted to be read in one sitting (or as close to one sitting as possible). I expressed this on a fanfic forum and got flamed by folks because 'obviously there HAS to be multiple places in 86k words that you can split your fic' and 'can't you just post it back to back in different chapters.'

No and no. There was literally ONE possible place to break it up and that's the place that I chose. But it's a fucking shitty split. We literally pick right back up with them. There's no time jump or scene change or any of that. And posting multiple chapters at once is too risky cause folks really will skip a chapter without realizing it.

But I shouldn't even have to defend my choice or my frustration. It's my work. It's my vision. I'm entitled to do what I want with it & be sad when external factors make it impossible for me to bring that vision about. And I shouldn't be judged for that. These folks know nothing about my writing style or the topic or my creative process. They just think 'lots of words = bad.' And I'm not lying about that. There really are folks out there who think my kind of writing sucks cause I don't give the readers the freedom to imagine the scenes how they want smdh

A second femicide in Kosovo in less than a week has prompted President Vjosa Osmani to declare a day of mourning on Wednesday for all those killed as a result of gender-based violence.

A man was arrested in the western Kosovo town of Peja/Pec on Tuesday on suspicion of killing his wife in the second femicide in the country in less than a week, prompting President Vjosa Osmani to declare a day of mourning.

The man had previously been found guilty of domestic violence in February 2022, sentenced to three months in prison and given a fine of 100 euros, Pec/Peja Basic Court spokeswoman Tringa Zhuti told BIRN. To avoid prison, the man paid an extra 300-euro fine instead. Justice Minister Albulena Haxhiu said she had invited the interior minister, the director of the Kosovo police service, the acting chief prosecutor and senior judicial and prosecution officials to a meeting to discuss a response.

“Despite the dedication, the measures undertaken, the campaigns initiated with the aim of gender equality, murders against women continue,” Haxhiu wrote on Facebook. “Violators have often become murderers precisely because of the lack of adequate punishment by the relevant institutions.”

Tuesday’s killing came five days after police arrested a 36-year-old man on suspicion of murdering his ex-wife and wounding her brother in the town of Ferizaj/Urosevac. The man was remanded in custody for 30 days.

Osmani, the president, declared April 17 a day of mourning “in remembrance of all the women and girls murdered in Kosovo as a result of gender-based violence”.

“Tomorrow will be a state day of mourning in Kosovo,” Osmani wrote on Facebook, “but our society will mourn every day as long as our women and girls are being murdered.”

In August last year, Amnesty International issued a report decrying the lack of institutional protection for victims of domestic violence in Kosovo, which has seen a series of protests over the past several years against gender-based violence and femicide.

Last May, BIRN reported that a lack of financial independence and support from family and society means many women in Kosovo who try to flee domestic violence end up returning to abusive husbands. There is also a lack of safe houses, with only seven across the country.

On Tuesday, activists of the Collective for Feminist Thought and Action tried to enter the Peace, Security and Women of Kosovo forum hosted by the Kosovo presidency, demanding a state of emergency be declared in the wake of the latest femicide.

They were turned back by police who said their presence posed “a security risk” and could harm Kosovo’s image, the activists said. Shkodran Nikçi, a spokesman for the Bsasic Prosecution, said an autopsy would be performed on the body of the woman killed in Peja/Pec and that the suspected murder weapon had been seized.

What a coincidence that we all received a global mobile emergency TEST a few days before the start of a World War?

How nice of George W. Bush to suddenly appear to say hostages lives don't matter.

ok so I am feeling SO lost. I just read the Thunder excerpt so I could catch up with your posts and I still feel like I've got no clue what's going on. Who got spayed?? What's everybody freaking out about with Squirrelstar's character?? did squirrelflight actually threaten bramblestar or are people just joking?? I feel like I'm looking into a blog from the future that somehow has the whole book already. please help I wanna know what's going on with the upcoming book but I'm still so so confused and the warriors app is impossible to navigate aaaaa

realizing i sound a bit like a madman from an outside perspective LMAO

someone on the wcrp forums got the book early and is summarizing the chapters for everyone! here is the link to the thread. if you're like me and you don't want to read everyone else's commentary, you can use filters to only get the messages from the person releasing the chapter summaries (which is how i do things, i am not subjecting myself to wcrp forum opinions).

i think it would be better if you read them yourself than me summarizing, i am. very biased rn

Being in the fandom of an obscure/niche piece of media is a double edged sword to me.

At first it would feel a bit lonely and dead with how small the fandom is and it's sad to see hoe little attention that media gets because of how obscure it is

But at the same time tho as someone who has been in niche fandoms and has watched that fandom turn into a discourse ridden cesspool TWICE once it started to get a bigger, you kinda appreciate that it's as small as it is because it's easier to find people who are insane in a silly way and not an asshole way and your experience in it is much easier to curate for the sake of your well being
