(small light of the jedi spoilers)

I was listening to the light of the jedi audiobook (again) & kassav has this one line about the nihil only existing to funnel credits from the bottom to the top & now all I can think about it the nihil being a massive pyramid scheme lol

Me: I can handle anything, Timothy Zahn throws at me!

*Lesser Evil, chapter 18 exists*

Me, Sobbing in my room: she doesn't remember him!

[candiedstardust]

Damn. I thought Kanan had it bad with Hera. Poor Cal is getting his room used for hookups he’s not even included in 😭😭😭

In the process of watching Star Wars: Rebels rn and Tom Baker hit me like a truck

[the-stars-are-warring]

Ok fine FINE I understand the appeal of Kal Skirata now I get it. Icon of a man. He hadn't even been on Kamino for ten minutes before he decided he wanted to Flay a Kaminoan alive.

I’m so tired of having to tell my friends “this is clearly inspired by dune look!” Because I’m unable to be normal about dune and them responding “no obviously it’s inspired by Star Wars” BITCH WHAT DO YOU THINK ONE OF STAR WARS’ MAIN FUCKIMG INSPIRATION IS ARE YOU JOKING ME RIGHT NOW

“Woah Sand worm!”

“Actually it’s the fucking sarlac pit.”

I will EAT YOU ALIVE RAAAAH everything comes back to DUNE! All fucking roads lead to dune!

The really cool thing about audiobooks, especially for Star Wars audiobooks, is that you can layer in sound effects and music.

For Star Wars, that means you have lightsabers and blaster fire going in the background, the opening theme rioting at the beginning of the book, and the different musical themes throughout the trilogies playing at relevant instances. Lightsabers go vwoom and the music soars etc etc

[Spoilers for Star Wars: Dark Disciple]

In Dark Disciple, Quinlan Vos and Asajj Ventress team up to assassinate Count Dooku, and she trains him in the dark side. He eventually falls, but he swears to her that he’s fine and sound of mind.

The thing is — and you wouldn’t get this in just the physical book — is that as he’s vowing this to her, the music is saying the exact opposite. They put in the background the Imperial March!!!

I first heard it I was like what!!! What!!!That’s so clever!!!!

The musical legacy that Star Wars has and the unique format that audiobooks live in allows for this awesome creativity!! And it’s text enriching!!! It’s so cool!!!

[fundraising-with-audiobooks]

This is @dyspunktional-leviathan, and this is a new project for helping to fundraise for Gaza, Sudan, Congo, Tigray, possibly more in future. Send me proof of your donations, and I will make audiobooks.

If anyone wants to join the project, you're incredibly welcome! Please message this blog for that.

My current plan is $30 per chapter, but I am not familiar with that currency and this is my first time making audiobooks too, so that might change.

Example recording — Canticle of the Dragon, the first prologue of Dragons of Autumn Twilight (CW for mentions of war, mass death and displacement, gods turning against their subjects):

The further recordings will be posted on AO3, with links on this blog. This chapter on AO3: https://archiveofourown.org/works/58599967/chapters/149305654

For every $30 of donations for vetted Gaza evacuation fundraisers (get them here: @vetted-gaza-funds), I will record a chapter of Dragonlance, starting with Dragons of Autumn Twilight and going in release order.

For every $30 of donations for Crips4Esims4Gaza (https://chuffed.org/project/crips-for-esims-for-gaza), I will record a chapter of The Locked Tomb, starting with Gideon the Ninth.

For every $30 of donations for the Mutual Aim campaign (https://www.tumblr.com/ana-bananya/753577456030679040/here-is-an-update-on-the-mutual-aim-campaign-for) that fundraises for the charities helping Sudan, Congo and Tigray, I will record a chapter of Fialleril's Double Agent Vader (https://archiveofourown.org/series/286908).

If/when I'm done with one of these, I will choose a new thing to audiobook for each branch of the project.

@ficsforgaza could I get a promo?

please I need everyone to listen to the “Thrawn” audiobooks. the moment in the first book where Arihnda Pryce is betraying her bestie Juahir is golden. the narrator has given her like an american valley girl accent and she yells, so scandalized and betrayed, “Arihnda!” and it’s so funny, he says each syllable with the accent it’s-oh my god it’s fantastic

and now I say it every time I am slightly annoyed lmao

I edited together Marc Thompson's audio recording from Thrawn: Alliances, "Then" with Thrawn Ascendancy: Chaos Rising Chapter 17 when General Anakin Skywalker and R2-D2 meet Snior Captain Mitth'raw'nuruodo and Sky-Walker Che'ri. By Timothy Zahn. Enjoy!

Personal thoughts below if anyone cares:

(Link to more 7th Fleet and Chimaera dividers)

I was so giddy when Chaos Rising unexpectedly bumped into Alliances. Alliances came out in 2018, and Chaos Rising in 2020. One book, and two years later, we got to see that Timothy Zahn had everything perfectly planned and he just made us wait for something we didn't know we were waiting for, which is not unlike his devious son. If only the rest of this franchise could be so coordinated!
