I've decided to use this site as my virtual junkheap of all things Star Wars that I love, and since I took a degree in speed reading and aggregate data collection that I have used for literally nothing, I figured ~why not start now~

I'll be sharing fics & authors that fucking wrecked/rocked/wracked my world, one by one/day by day so they don't get lost in some gargantuan ficrec list, and so anyone who stumbles on these can jump right in. There will be variety but we're starting with my (obvious) favorite trash boi of the galaxy, Maul, and the many authors who have written amazing slices of his trash life-

First among them, the gloriously irreverent & terribly empathetic @deniigi, who wrote my personal favorite of all Mauls in .red lanterns.

“I don’t know that Maul hates me,” Obi-Wan admits. “I think he is in pain, and I think that I am both the cause and a convenient outlet for that pain, so that if I am hurting, then he is not hurting alone anymore. If he hated me as much as he claims to, then he would have killed me long, long ago.”

Cody understands. Maybe.

“I want to talk to him,” he says.

“Then talk to him,” Obi-Wan says. “But do me a favor?”

Cody looks up into his jedi’s eyes.

“Don’t fall in love with him,” Obi-Wan says

I also wholeheartedly recommend the rest of their work, and will be posting more of their fics along with many, MANY others over the next... Uh, extended period of time. READERS OF FICS: CHECK THIS SHIT OUT!!

Someday I hope I find out what happened to Michael Schur between making The Office/Parks and Rec/B99, and making The Good Place.

I say this because I just watched the first season of "Man on the Inside" which is about an Old Guy that falls into helping a private investigator investigate an old folks home where some jewelry was reported missing, and some of the messages from The Good Place are reflected in it. The messages about community, and finding the goodness in humanity, and just... Both The Good Place and Man on the Inside have this gentle quality with regards to how it sees people that just isn't present AT ALL in The Office (what little I've been able to stomach of it, it's MEAN in a way that TGP and MotI are not), minimally in Parks and Rec, and at least started to emerge in B99 but still isn't present in the same way (at least in the first four seasons, I haven't seen the rest but I will. it has a moment here or there, but it's not ABOUT that the way TGP and MotI are).

Where did this come from for Schur? What happened to him that he first dug into this HIGH QUALITY niche where humans are good and we can be better tomorrow and we need each other? How do we replicate whatever it was, to give it to others?

The Wild Robot

My Response After Watching it

Y’all. I believe in humanity again if THAT is what people can create. What a story. WHAT. A. Story.

Please. Please. PLEASE. Take the time to watch it. It is BEYOND worth it.

DP x DC Adoption fic

Okay so what started as a crack idea actually makes more sense than it should

Danny gets adopted by the Brain and Monsieur Mallah

Now you may ask yourself: why would Danny get adopted by the brain of a French mad scientist and an intelligent French gorilla, both of who are founding members of the brotherhood of evil?

Well thank you for asking because

A) it’d be really funny

B) the Brain and Mallah are canonically a gay couple, have been a couple in the comics since 1990, as weird as it is they’re kind of cute together. Check this out

Like it’s oddly cute and I want to see more of them living in domestic bliss

C) Danny is already used to living with mad scientists for parents, this honestly wouldn’t be that big of an adjustment

D) I think they’re mostly retired and living out their days together currently?

E) Mallah could beat Vlad at chess and that would piss Vlad off

F) Danny has an affinity for gorillas and frankly it would be hilarious if every ape that sees Danny tries to adopt him

Mallah, holding Danny up by his armpits: But Brain, Mon amor, just look at him

Danny: *Hisses*

They also appear on my adventures with Superman if you just want some media that shows their relationship

Idk I think in a reveal gone bad they could really work, retired mad scientists are better than mad scientists trying to dissect him

PLUS THEY CAN HAVE A MAD SCIENCE OFF

Fentons come at them with weird sci fi gadgets, they have different gadgets ready

Some good ol’ mad scientist on mad scientist violence

LET THE GORILLA AND BRAIN GET GAY MARRIED AND ADOPT A GHOST

one of the things about being an educator is that you hear what parents want their kids to be able to do a lot. they want their kid to be an astronaut or a ballerina or a politician. they want them to get off that damn phone. be better about socializing. stop spending so much time indoors. learn to control their own temper. to just "fucking listen", which means to be obedient.

one of the things i learned in my pedagogy classes is that it's almost always easier to roleplay how you want someone to act. it's almost always easier to explain why a rule exists, rather than simply setting the rule and demanding adherence.

i want my kids to be kind. i want them to ask me what book they should read next, and i want to read that book with them so we can discuss it. i want my kid to be able to tell me hey that hurt my feelings without worrying i'll punish them. i want my kid to be proud of small things and come running up to me to tell me about them. i want them to say "nah, i get why this rule exists, but i get to hate it" and know that i don't need them to be grateful-for-the-roof-overhead while washing the dishes. i want them to teach me things. i want them to say - this isn't safe. i'm calling my mom and getting out of this. i want them to hear me apologize when i do fuck up; and i want them to want to come home.

the other day a parent was telling me she didn't understand why her kid "just got so angry." this woman had flown off the handle at me.

my dad - traditional catholic that he is - resents my sentiment of "gentle parenting". he says they'll grow up spoiled, horrible, pretentious. granola, he spits.

i am going to be kind to them. i am going to set the example, i think. and whatever they choose become in the meantime - i'm going to love them for it.

almost every time I see one of your art dumps I get so emotional about what you depict that I feel like crying. like, I stop for a moment because I genuinely feel tears in my eyes for witnessing this beauty.

and then there are the skin creatures

i guess that's the experience, thank you for sharing your work

AWWW THANK YOU SO MUCH!! I’m so flattered to hear that!

So much of my art is so emotionally charged and to know that my artistic depictions are just emotional provoking as I originally felt is one of the greatest praises I can receive as an artist! That and alongside viewer interpretations of my works, I really don’t care whether interpretations are right or wrong, but I care about the fact that it’s thought and emotionally provoking. :D

So thank you!

I originally intended for the skin creatures to act as a pick-me-up/emotional reset, since when I view something sad, I can’t function for the rest of the day without something to balance out the sadness. Albeit I have no idea if the skin creatures really do that. 😭 Instead I’ve seen it described as the “Mush Experience” which is honestly hilarious!

So thank you once again!! I hope you’re doing fantastic! :D

@sunfloweraro I'm sorry it took so long to respond to you on this post, but I needed to draw this before any further action could be taken.

Yippee, Ravio will get comfort!! My sanity is safe (for now). Hilda and Zelda appearances would be cool, and a Sheerow POV would be quite interesting indeed!! I wonder what that bird is thinking behind those blank little eyes...

One of the most genuinely adorable things the boys have done is make a terrible cringey band together. Like it’s such a kid move, y’know? It was so endearing to witness. Sure they sucked so bad an entire legion of enemy robots took themselves out, but there’s something so cute about them collectively thinking they sounded way better than they did.

i loved the people drama thia ep, it was a nice change of pace from the nature spooks but still in line with the medeival castle vibe. it was cool to see arthur and john get back to form and use tbeir observation and people skills. also john really was great, hes gotten so much better at investigating and arthur coming around and relying on him so completely was so AHHHH

it’s also fascinating how twisty it was after langward (?) was killed. i really was thinking it could be any one of them, though honestly i think it was everard cause he feels like the type of guy to start shit just cause. harlan is fantastic at differentiating characters. i need next ep NOWWW
