“I spent months trying to unlearn loving you, trying to forget the strength of your hands and the worlds in your eyes. But there is no part of me left that you have not touched. We just spent forever finding out what it meant to have one foot out in the heliosphere and the other here on Earth, testing just how far a heart can stretch. I heard it in her voice, how much it hurts, and I am terrified that same thing will kill me.
“Why are you rebuilding the tragedy that built me?”
— K. Ancrum, The Weight of the Stars

They took our bodies and strapped them into ships they took twenty million years to learn to build. They tore pieces of our Earth from the deepest reaches and used it to safely bind our bodies in place. They melted the sands the waves beat on the shores so our small faces could be protected. They stole lightning from the skies so we could fly.

Anakin the weighted blanket
#obikin#anakin skywalker#obi wan kenobi#sw art#star wars#mayhem art#they were both too tired to get to the bed not even mentioning getting changed.#and why searching for a blanket when you can cover your Master with your own body right 😏#especially if the Master in question is too tired to protest 😌#(and perhaps Obi-Wan secretly likes being weighted down by Anakin)

“Buried Alive” for @weekly-star-wars-prompts
I had every intention to make this silly, like Ezra being comedically crushed by loth wolves, but it became sentimental ;-; Sometimes the art is just using you to create itself.
#my dog lays on me like this all the time so he can lick my face#sometimes it’s annoying as hell#other times it’s like having a weighted blanket that farts#weekly star wars prompts#buried alive#my art#star wars#sw rebels#ezra bridger#loth wolf#loth cat

can 2024 please be the year where we stop acting like Jadzia's bisexuality was subtextual and that her queerness should be treated with the same validity as other common headcanons. i love queer headcanons! i love thinking about gay subtext (intentional or unintentional)! but i cannot possibly understand how kissing a woman, professing your love to her, and risking your future to spend your lives together is somehow subtext. (well i can understand because 1) fandom doesn't like to focus on queer women nearly as much as queer men and 2) seeing queer women who later marry men as somehow not "actually queer" is just. classic biphobia.)
#sorry if this is too salty but also. i'm salty.#yeah i ship spirk and garashir#and i generally think most star trek characters are mspec unless proven otherwise#but can we stop acting like gay subtext between men carries the same weight as showing two women explicitly in love & kissing in the mid 90#without making it exploitative or jokey or scandalous!#this is also directed at actual media outlets who keep saying that Star Trek didn't have any gay characters until 2017#i love stamets and culber and they are important! and there should have been more queer characters prior to them!#but. jadzia is right there.#ds9#jadzia dax#my posts
