Caf shop, Coruscant, 2:30 am

I could get no rest and went to a all-night caf shop to have a drawing session, a nice caf-uccino and to cry a little bit, but I got distracted by one of those intimidating red armored guards, so I drew him 😱

Guess what!? He noticed and wanted a copy of this and HE GAVE ME HIS COMM 🙈 I‘m normal about that. Yeah, absolutely. I‘m shuddering only from lack of sleep, yes. Not because of this clone getting under my skin, no… ❤️‍🔥✨

READ THE WHOLE STORY:

@eclec-tech I‘m still not over this encounter you made me meet COMMANDER FOX AND HOW TO BE NORMAL ABOUT THAT 🫠 and I found some between time to (art-)process this dopamine ❤️‍🔥✨

Thank you so much, dear Amber, I hope you can see what your writing magic did to me 🥰🫶✨

I WAS THERE and I smelled the caf shop and the atmosphere, heared the passing speederbikes outside and armor is really loud when a trooper approaches How do they sneak?

And I had so much fun to find my hand font in aurebesh 😂 I don‘t know from which planet those glowing decoration plants (or fungi?) come from, but they‘re quite fancy and now I want one 🤩✨

Have a closer look 👀:

Last Line Challenge

Thanks @clonethirstingisreal @ireadwithmyears @dystopicjumpsuit @frostycatblr-fandom-files for tagging me!

I've been working on a Dogma x OC fic here and there, and last night I started getting back into it hard. Here's the most recent bit. It's more of a chunk than a line, but I couldn't resist!

Dogma quickly donned the unconscious clone’s armor and helmet, noting with discomfort how the kama and pauldron added a weight he had not earned and would now never earn. But that weight was lifted almost as quickly as her words sunk in. She thought that he was worth saving—not CT-6922, but Dogma. It gave him a sudden strength he didn’t know he had. The Republic wanted to save the physical resource that was a healthy soldier. She wanted to save him.

NPT: @legacygirlingreen @apocalyp-tech-a @eyecandyeoz @ladysongmaster @lonewolflupe @drafthorsemath and anyone else wanting to ring in the new year with a writing tease!

[eclec-tech]

Affirmative! Yes! Tagwa! Elek! Uma! Ibana! But if you ask me a question about my stories, I PROMISE to answer in English (after performing an embarrassing happy dance that you fortunately will not be here to see).

Reblog if you write fic and people can inbox you random-ass questions about your stories, itemized number lists be damned.

Caf shop, Coruscant, 1:00 pm

previous chapter (<-)

No way. You won't believe this. Today Commander Fox marched into the caf shop, ordered his caf and came DIRECTLY to my table! No need to be so tall towering and intimidating... Trying to work outside my atelier maybe wasn't a great idea 🙈 Aaand teasing him in the message, calling his caf „Spicy YOU“ without thinking twice made it even worse…

I don’t know why, but he didn‘t stop grinning and he offered to invite me to as much ‚SPICY FOX‘ (...caf ☕️? Of course you... mean the drink, Sir?) as I want if I drew him smiling instead of tired like the first time.

And it’s not necessary to overemphasize that kriffing caf blend like! that! 🙈 Almost hissing... showing canine teethhzzzss 🦊 ... with that glare

I'm an artist. I AM professional mostly. I stay cool and sound. Hrrmph!

Bold clone trooper! I‘m trying to pay my fees with my art and you can‘t just rush in and SPICY FOX (??) me and think that‘s okay. It‘s not. Why am I doing it nevertheless??

He‘s obviously not used to pose, to hold still or even smile. Way too tense, it‘s quite difficult to draw this man.

I‘m not sure if some ‚Spicy Fox‘ I MEAN THE CAF BLEND, SIR! is adequate payment…

🦊🫠✨☕️

Now look, the poor little artist reader is losing it slowly but steadily and HE KNOWS IT! 🦊❤️‍🔥 Hehehe! Screech 🦉🥰

Amber, this is way too much fun! 🤩🫶✨ You can‘t just keep on FOXING me and think that this is not coming back to yoouuu 😁 Hehehehe now YOU get FOXed! Follow me down hehe 😎 🫠

Fun unforseen side story to this drawing: I was sitting in the train on my way, drawing and giggling, irritating teenies so I showed them this drawing for fun. They couldn’t believe that I do TCW art, I guess I disillusioned them, being 30+ with my wild locks, heavy boots and fun excitement, not caring about indignant elders in the train, which would gasp if they knew that I‘m heading to play graphic design boss for some office dressed business peers in glass buildings ✨ I love this, indulging in my betweens like that because I LOVE THE STORY-ART-COLLAB-WHATEVER-MAGIC-MOMENTS. Thank you so much 🥰🙏 I guess creamy caf will never be innocent again hehe 🔥☕️✨

Magic moments between is how to deal with real life, my dear folks 🫶🥰 I'm getting faster drawing, planning, writing, tagging, ALT-texting... all thanks to you all ♥️🤩

Since you have decided to relocate to Pabu, Tech has compiled a list of things you should be...aware of.

3. Do not believe Wrecker’s claim that Pabu has a nude beach. 14. The Archium is only slightly haunted. 38. Hide all reflective objects during moon-yo mating season.

"The Turn"

I had a thought about this handsome fellow, and it manifested itself in the form of a little ficlet...

Crosshair's eyes narrowed at the screen as five bright blips suddenly appeared exactly where he was hoping they wouldn't. "There's a squad on our tail, closing fast."

Omega turned with the authority of a commander. "Get to the tail gun. I'll get us out of here."

"You're sure?" One of them had to fly and one of them had to shoot. He wasn't at all happy with their chances knowing that she would have to be responsible for one of those.

"Tech taught me! GO!"

That was unexpectedly comforting news. Crosshair nodded and bolted for the rear of the ship, leaving Omega to hopefully do Tech proud as pilot. She did. She climbed and dove, weaving through the terrain as if Tech himself were guiding her hands.

An angry beeping broke her concentration. "The lead ship's targeting our engines! Crosshair, what do I do?"

Crosshair raced back to the cockpit. "Omega, turn sharp, zero thrusters NOW!"

Omega instantly realized her brother's plan. She turned the ship and cut the engines, then immediately reengaged the thrusters--the "Tech Turn". Crosshair almost instantly removed four of their pursuers from the equation. The pilot of the lead ship however, performed the exact same maneuver the moment Omega had begun her own turn, and was now careening skyward in an attempt to once again get behind the shuttle that now had no gunner in position.

Crosshair's blood ran cold. He knew of only one person who could fly like that, and according to a recent conversation with a very tearful Omega, he couldn't possibly be here. Yet here he was.

"Omega, we have a very big problem."

Happy Spooky Season, everyone!

Commander Fox captured my imagination this year. The injustice of his canon death at the hands of Darth Vader led me down this spooky, five chapter path. Updates will drop on Sundays throughout the month of September, so don't lose your heads! 😉 Find more spookiness at @pinahallowsevecloneparty!

You scoffed at the Holonet News report along with everyone else. That is, until the other witnesses who had been too scared to come forward began confirming what the young woman had said. Seventeen people—with no history of mental illness or spice use—saw a man with no head break a neck without even touching it.

Drop whatever you're doing and go read this incredible piece by @eclec-tech - trust me, you will not regret it! @photogirl894 just shared this in the discord server and we are all rolling on the floor over it. It's a quick read and it's so funny!

[eclec-tech]

YES! That last one is especially true. I love it when someone says they are reading my fic at work (and shouldn't be).

stuff that feels rewarding as a fanfic author:

when your work inspires fanart/comics

when people point out a scene/particular line(s) that tugged at their heartstrings

when people ask for your meta of your work that they enjoyed so much

when someone comments on a fic you wrote 982783113502 years ago

getting recc’d

just the small happiness in knowing you made someone out there smile on their way to work/home or at school, in knowing you warmed someone’s heart somehow

"Finding the Lost"

I didn't think I would be back so soon after the finale with a fix-it fic, but here we are—seven short chapters over seven days. I hope they are as comforting for you to read as they were for me to write! 🧡

He attempted to slow his descent by again flattening his body, but he knew his odds would only be marginally improved by his efforts. In what he was almost sure would be his last moments, he closed his eyes and focused hard on the faces and voices of his family. He wondered what their grieving expressions would look like once they got to safety—if they got to safety. Then, there was Crosshair. Would he ever know what they tried to do here for him so he could be rescued? Tech hoped he would. That would mean they got him out.

Start of Something Wonderful

Notes: you can also find this story on A03. This short story is based of a mini comic I created a while ago. AmberOwl24 inspired me to write out what lead up to images in the comic. This story was edited AmberOwl24 (@eclec-tech)

AmberOwl24 also wrote out the first part this story! You can check it out on A03.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Tech jogged on the outskirts of lower Pabu. The sky was orange and deep purple as it set. He was slightly out of breath and recalculated the possibilities of where Phee might be in his head. She said she would be in the area and the only bottleneck he hadn’t checked was the bridge. In a matter of seconds, he was there on the bridge, overlooking the estuary leading to the sea below. The smell of salt and marsh filled his senses as he deeply inhaled. Tech’s breath suddenly escaped him as he saw her. There she was, calmly walking up to him. Tech had seen Phee many times since they decided to stay and recover on Pabu. Each time grew a little more nerve-wracking.

From a distance, Hunter leaned on a nearby wall of a house. He was a little concerned when Tech suddenly left when they were talking, lost in thought. Tech was prepared for anything when it came to war, but civilian life was another matter. Tech was never really open about his feelings, though he probably felt more than any of his brothers. So, Tech being vulnerable to him brought out a protective side to Hunter. Still Hunter slightly smiled as he watched, hearing everything with his heightened senses. Dusk had arrived and gone. A full moon was out and lantern lights filled the streets. The bridge Tech and Phee were on had curtain lights on one of its sides while the other had the view of the sea.

“Phee, do you have a moment?” Tech blurted out as he involuntarily talked with his hands.

“Anytime, Brown Eyes.” Phee smiled at him and held back a chuckle as she watched him shift his body. His big brown eyes looked at the ground for a moment. Tech’s fair skin gave him away as he slightly blushed. He looked back at her and took a breath before he spoke.

“Recent events have me pondering about life… how short it can be. How sudden things can change. Especially for a clone such as myself.” There was confidence yet sorrow in his voice. He kept on shifting, feeling the anxiety in his body, unable to meet Phee’s gaze. Phee now knew this was a sign of how highly uncomfortable and painful the physical reactions to overwhelming emotions were for him. However, she respected his decision to push through it. So she gave him space.

“If I miss this opportunity… If I can not make this decision and all that comes after.” He looked Phee square in the eyes, which Phee knew was a difficult thing to do. However, there was a determination there she had not seen before.

“I will regret it forever.”

“What decision?” Phee gently asked.

“Phee Genoa. Will you be my partner for the rest of my days?” There was only certainty in his voice.

“Will you marry me?” Tech searched her face for an answer. Phee's face was neutral at first but a smile quickly broke it. “I thought I would have had to ask you first!” she said with a light chuckle. She saw that Tech was still holding his breath.

“Yes!” she said, placing her hand on Tech’s shoulder. They looked at each other with longing eyes. Tech jumped as he remembered something. He unlatched a pouch on his bicep and grabbed something within.

“I hope these are suitable,” he said with an outstretched hand. In his palm sat two gold rings. They were perfectly rounded and polished to a high degree. They looked simple but Phee knew Tech poured every ounce of care and skill when making them.

“I picked out gold since it will match with your hairbands and-”

“Tech, they are perfect,” Phee said while excitedly grabbing Tech’s hand. She quickly put on her ring and admired it. Tech very timidly put his ring on over his glove, the realization of it all slowly sinking in. Phee gently grabbed Tech’s chin and leaned in. Their kiss was slow and passionate, it was electric but gentle. Without warning, Tech suddenly picked up Phee and twirled her around. Phee laughed in excitement and slight fear.

This caught Hunter off guard and he unconsciously yelled, “Tech, put her down!”

“I can not. I am too elated with joy!”

“You better be, Brown Eyes.” Hunter could hear the smile in their voices let alone see it. He relaxed as he watched the two lovers twirl amongst the shimmering lights.

Tech finally put Phee down. She rested on his chest, and leaned her head in his neck. They leaned in for another electric kiss as they turned to watch the moonlight dance on the sea.

They could feel the heat of their blood rushing to their faces. They could feel the cool breeze coming off the sea. They could feel the warmth of the lights surrounding them. For a moment in time, there was no empire, no evil doctors, no near death experiences, and no war. Just a budding love about to start something wonderful.
