Alpha-17 and Obi-Wan being friends (derogatory) on 17's part and friends (threatening) on Obi-Wan's part is such an underrated dynamic
They could be so funny and terrifying, like Obi-Wan went through a soul shredding experience with Alpha-17 as his only company. They're friends because what else are you gonna be after you witness each other at absolute rock bottom from torture.
It's like 'dog put in cage of cheetah who's threatening to go crazy', except the dog is a grizzly bear and also threatening to go crazy.
Emotional support trooper except the trooper in question has never done any sort of supporting in his life and is actively an emotional distress trooper to a great number of the CC batch.
I want them texting everyday, I want Obi-Wan mailing handmade BFF bracelets to Alpha and Alpha sending pics back of him flipping off the camera but still wearing them, I want Alpha using Obi-Wan to keep track of and occasionally terrorize his cadets, I want 17 ending problems in the GAR (like Krell) before they begin because Obi-Wan has him shipped out on a personal transport at the first opportunity, decked out with slug-throwers Obi-Wan got him for his decant-day.
Natborn officers think this is all just an odd indulgence of General Kenobi, the Vode, however, correctly identify it as a goddamn threat and their danger assessment of Obi-Wan ticks up significantly.
When Alpha arrives on Kamino, Shaak Ti presses a shiny new comm into his hand. It has the Jedi Order symbol painted onto it alongside a smiley face sticker, and it pings immediately with a new message: Hello! I hope you're settling in well!
Alpha stares at the message, stares at the singular contact named 'OWK' and then stares Shaak Ti in the eye as he pitches the comm straight into the ocean. Shaak Ti's serene smile only grows larger as she calmly reaches into her robes and pulls out an identical comm, only this one has a frowny face sticker, and presses it into his hand. It lights up: I'm afraid we've bonded, Alpha :). Alpha shuts it off and pockets it with resignation.
Cody arrives on Alpha-17's personal recommendation.
A-17: He's the most difficult little bastard I have. You're perfect for each other. OWK: Thank you, he's very handsome :3 A-17: No. Stop.
The first thing he asks once he gets comfortable is who his general is texting so much that has him swinging his legs and twirling his hair. Cody assumes it's Anakin, given they seem joint at the hip anyway, but little does he know Obi-Wan's ability to consistently have the Weirdest Relationships Ever.
"Oh, it's Alpha-17, I understand you're familiar with each other?" Hmm. OK. Cody.exe is experiencing a processing error, please hold. He exits the room instead of answering. The next day he peeks over the General's shoulder when he's texting and sees walls of rambling messages from Obi-Wan. Alpha-17 replies every hour with a single text: Lose this number. Obi-Wan giggles. "He's so funny." he says.
When Obi-Wan meets the rest of the CC batch, Cody makes sure to stand perfectly angled so that he can record the reactions when his general cuts off their introductions with "Oh, no need, Alpha-17's told me all about you." It's always immediate FEAR.JPG followed by a slow spiral of What The Fuck.
What do you mean by that General. What does that mean Cody. What do you mean they text. No. Cody. What the fuck is happening, Cody. Alpha-17 doesn't have friends he has enemies and enemies he tolerates enough not to shoot on sight.
OWK: Wolffe reached for his vambrace? when I mentioned you A-17: That's where he keeps his spare knife. OWK: Hm that does explain the way he eyed me up, ambitious. A-17: Clearly not enough, he should have followed through. I taught them better.
#alpha obi wan and cody are so powerful together they could win the war or start an entirely new one. who knows :)#i fully think 17 awakens the feral cat part of obi wan thats been dormant since qui gon died and he had to become a responsible brotherdad#like at last someone to scruff him by the neck and call him stupid its very familiar to obi wan it brings back memories#fully on my 'obi wan has the weirdest relationship dynamics ever' agenda#obi wan is a lying liar who loves lying and the biggest lie is that he's the only normal well-adjusted one here. no. he is SO deeply strang#obi wan kenobi#star wars#alpha 17#commander cody

*Ages of this post based on information from Jason and Tim's original runs in the 80s, as im still in the process of reading the comics and I respect original runs more anyway
Jason was 12 (pre-crisis, not contradicted) when Bruce adopted him at some point after Dick left, and Dick had left Wayne Manor for about 2 years by the time Jason died (Batman #436) making Jason 14 at death, to turn 15 that year if his birthday is August 16th
Tim is 13 when he introduces himself after Jason's death (Batman #441)
They have like, a 1-2 year age difference
Jason returns to life 6 months after his death, spends 1 year in the hospital, then 1 year on the streets before someone recognizes him as Robin, then 1 year with the league of assassin's before being thrown into the pit (Batman Annual #25)
A total of 3 years with Jason running on just instinct and muscle memory before being healed by the pit
Therefore, Jason, while physically older, is largely missing 3 years of his life
Jason is younger than Tim
Thank you coming to my ted talk
(Dont take this seriously please bcksbdjsnks)
#tim drake#jason todd#red hood#dc comics#batman comics#sometimes i see posts saying jason attacked a kid when referring to the titans tower attack on tim#jason is very much still just 1-2 years older than tim#at the absolute barest and most unreasonable minimum tim is a 16 yr getting attacked by an 18yr#as jason was 18 when put in the pit. im gonna take a wild guess here and say he spent awhile training and planning instead of immediately#starting the red hood arc#so for fun i decided to take the age situation to its extreme and say jason is younger lol#ever since jason attacked. Tim has been in a semi time loop to be 17 for the rest of his life#and is just getting younger than jason instead of aging. this is so sad#im like 100% “jason is younger than tim” has been said before by others its just so fun to me.#and i like taking a million pictures for reference whike reading comics and then getting to use those references#comic reference#OR. jason could've been 13 going on 14 when he died. which is so devastating to think about i choose not to#but it Is a possibility#timelines are so hard to think of without exact dates

I am just so happy and proud of Build. He's been working his ass off to rebuild his career this whole time WHILE fighting for justice for himself. And finally he gets it, found entirely innocent in court, after refusing to rise to bait and sorting everything through proper, legal channels.
What happened to him was truly awful, and I can't imagine the strength it took to keep fighting through it. Hopefully now he can find some peace and focus on happier things. It's a new chapter, free from all the bullshit, and I can't wait to see what he does next 💙
For those of us fans who have had a hard time throughout all this- I hope we can celebrate this victory and also move on to happier times. Thank you thank you thank you for still being here
#xoxo kissporsche#build jakapan#it's been over a year since i last posted about this here WOAH#remember when i used to have 17 panic attacks about using a blue heart emoji because of how awful people were#i'm so glad we got here

do u have blue sky
yes! i'm zeewa on bluesky 🫶
thank you for reminding me that i need to put my bluesky in my about me 💋✌️
#i'll be honest. an enormous part of the reason i'm still here at all is bc i've been on tumblr since i was 14 + twitter since i was 17#they are my baby artist first social media experiences... my history... all the trauma + loss of innocence + acceptance + funniness + life#i'm scared that i won't be able to fully dedicate to a new social media bc i'm so old + very set in my withdrawn solitary ways now#but i'll try. i won't let my life be work work work with no active place to share my art. my art is my demonstration of self. not my career#my art is the part of me that i care about. that i must nurture. i have a job so i can be financially stable TO come home + draw#(only 25-50% jokingly) STOP pouring yourself into your thankless job. and start pouring yourself into your ART + thank YOURSELF!!!!!!!!#workers of the world - unite. you have nothing to lose but your chains

I’m a trans man that recently got diagnosed with hyper mobile eds, so now seeing Steve makes me extra happy, because cool disabled ftm rep. Thanks for making the radical dude bro, he’s funky.
same disability (waving hand emoji)
Always extremely fulfilling to know my work makes people happy in some small way, it means a lot. Thank you for sharing with me
#I dont talk about having eds cause its not specifically really relevant to my work#been diagnosed with it since 17. woag 10 years next april...#anyways. yeah idk I like the blog to be about my art and I'm used to people asking me a LOT of questions about EDS or disability or canes#just a lot of stuff unrelated to my art. I'm happy to talk about it but I don't want it to be the focus of my blog!#So I've p much chosen to mostly just. not talk about it. even though I'm literally fine talking about it#it's just rarely relevant and no one needs to know LOL#but. I also know that EDS can feel very lonely#and that it's really nice to know other people out there have it#so. hi anon you're not alone#also just in case. literally don't feel bad about anything in the tags here LOL#mostly just like 'please people do not start sending me asks about whether or not you should go to the doctor'#or asks about ableist family members#or venting about pain...#just a lot of invasive and boundary crossing asks the more I talk about it hahahah#but I don't mind sharing at all.#sorry I think I lost the plot on this one#good luck on your journey. starting to accomodate yourself does wonders#and really just extremely happy my work could reach you in this way#sending you love#asks#anon

Hi! Feel free to ignore but out of curiously do you got to MICA? Was just wondering based off your previous comments about the obnoxiously long 5 hour crits (those were the norm there) and the teacher who taught ND Stevenson. I went to MICA with him (year below) so your posts just made me wonder if you were going there too.
i do!!! i generally really love it here aside from some uh. quirks let's call them. but i'm in my 3rd year rn majoring in illustration with a seq arts minor, and one of the major reasons i applied to go here is bc nd stevenson was one of my biggest inspirations growing up!!
#it's also very convenient for me bc i was born and raised in a town abt 45 mins away from bmore#but the fact that he went here rlly sealed the deal when 17 year old me was looking at art schools lol#i truly think this was the best school for me out of the ones i got into. which. to be fair. was all the schools i applied to LMFAO#i thank christ every day that SVA refused to give me any more than $20k financial aid bc the stories i hear abt that school now are AWFUL#asks#also ykw if 5hr crits used to be the norm at this school that explains why that one prof still does them#but the thing is THEYRE NOT THE NORM ANYMOREEE at least not in the illustration dept!!!#ive NEVER had crits that long in illustration dept classes and ive been taking multiple classes a sem in this dept since freshman year#ughhhhh someone NEEDS to tell her that times have changed and it CANNOT be me

They’re holding hands :)
#idk how I managed to position them so perfectly#but now I don’t think I can ever move them again ever#legends of avantris#once upon a witchlight#ouaw#torbek#morning frost#frostbek#I’ve been cuddling the two of them all day#because I feel like shit and they make me feel better#I mean I have other plushies that are significantly better to cuddle with#both in size and squishability#but also#these are my emotional support gay furries with separation anxiety#and they make me feel better#also unrelated but i recently counted the amount of plushies I have in my room#and I have about 20 in my room that I know about#which honestly might speak volumes about my childhood#since the oldest one here was from when I was about 14/15#and the rest I got once I started working when I was 17 and older

Something that's been on my mind lately
#my art#fanart#inanimate insanity#yin yang ii#ii yin yang#ii spoilers#making my own blorbo angst in preparation for what's awaiting me in ep 17#honestly ive been thinking about this since i watched ep 16#but with them absent in the new trailer i wanted to draw it before the episode aired#also they literally split in half here because they were forced apart instead of via science mumbo jumbo that gave them each separate bodies

#vel 17#hanging out in my silly bedroom drinking too much water to handle#thank you so much#i'mma do something i dont think ive done in years and like#give commentary in the tags & shit#i think simply put ive been trying to find ways to talk about my stellar combo of ocd a panic disorder and cptsd for a long time now#& i still honestly have no clue#once i wasnt surfing from place to place last year i really just locked myself in here#and that was 10 months ago (7 months after it got really fucking bad). ive been feeling like this pretty much since i turned 25#finally being able to process what the people in life had to tell me was a years worth of legit psychological abuse#but now thats even getting outside my comfort level at the moment and ive been recontextualizing my whole life over here#ive barely been posting pictures outside of my bedroom cause ive barely left it#if you see this it means it escaped my drafts and i was bold enough to publish this tagspeak#i am merely just trying to expel ocd ruminations dont mind me 🪩#but idk. talking like this makes me feel gross and i'm starting to realize people don't usually feel it to THIS extent. like i feel nauseou
