But no, about my deep dive into the wayback machine. There’s been this whole ado lately about misogynistic men saying “female fans mostly aren’t real fans” and “those who like Disney era SW just want a strong female lead.” And it’s kraytspit, of course. But it also gets me thinking about how I’ve lived and breathed Star Wars since I was 7.

How Mom started me with Episode I and I just asked “where is Darth Vader” so we actually started with IV and it’s funny that in the end I liked the prequels more. My sister worked at Burger King and got all the kids meal Episode 3 toys for us and I spent hours playing with them and rearranging them on the shelf and I still won’t let them be thrown away.

How mom read Jedi Apprentice and Jedi Quest to me. The way we stumbled across Secrets of the Jedi at my aunt’s local library and it felt like discovering treasure and we had to read the entire book before our vacation ended. Finding favorites in the series and checking them out over and over to read on my own-school library, local library. Mom read me Junior Jedi Knights and I met Han and Leia’s son for the first time. Grew up a bit, read Young Jedi Knights on my own. Remember reading the Emperor’s Plague while my girl scout troop was on an archery field trip. Checked out the Episode I visual Dictionary from my local library a hundred times. And Amidala’s Journal.

I grew up watching the OG Clone Wars. One of the first video games I owned was the Episode III plug in and play game. I had it in 2nd grade when I got the flu and my dad and I played it a ton. My friend would come over just to play it and I resorted to hiding it in my closet.

Went to SW.com a lot. I remembering playing the coloring book, a picture of Padme in the meadow in AotC. The Who Said It was my mine and my mom’s thing. There was a section of question and answers on every movie and I loved it so much. Leia’s wookieepedia page was the first wookieepedia page I ever read and I was so amazed by how detailed it was.

I remember giggling too loudly at Rotta the huttling when I was ten and he was so tiny and cute for a huttling in the movie theater. The Clone wars was my preteens-stupid hatred for Satine, cute butterflies for Luxsoka, etc.

I remember QuizUp being The Thing in early high school and living in the Star Wars category cause where else would I be?

And then, it all stopped. The old EU was no longer canon and so much of what I grew up with I held my breath to see. What it would trample over. I still don’t think I’ve read anything with the Solo kids-the real Solo kids- since then. Maybe very early on. Not since TFA for sure. Meanwhile I can’t bring myself to read new Jedi Apprentice era stuff. Like it’s odd.

Off topic. But point is. That’s not getting into the fandom side of things. Point is. I’ve lived and breathed this series since I was seven. I grew up on it. If some dude ever claimed I wasn’t a real fan I’d laugh in their faces. But no one should be accused of it simple because of their gender. And cause it’s being thrown about I’ve been thinking about my roots a lot.

I think the real point of this tho is I’ve always been a books and cartoons>movies Star Wars girlie.

just coming on here to say fuck the vols. aggies by 90 🔝🔝🔝

I feel like we should talk more.

(This is gonna get kind of rambly, but stay with me here)

Inbox is open for fandom chats or whatever else. I respond in one of two ways: immediately like a creeper or it takes a while cause I got trapped by a nap, but either way. I respond!

Come hop into my askbox, especially if you wanna talk The Last Kingdom, Peaky Blinders or any other fandom or topic!

I'll start with some fandom opinions: Eh hem...

Shameless should have been about a Black family on the South Side of Chicago. I would like her (see below) play Fiona

GOOD GIRLS FUMBLED THE BAG!!!! MANNY MONTANA CARRIED THAT SHOW!

I didn't watch the first season of The Last Kingdom, and therefore don't get people's attachments to Aethelwold or Iseult, but I respect it lol

The last season of Mayans was such a collection of High/Low moments, I'm still unsure about watching the final season that's coming out soon

There's too many Marvel shows and movies and spinoffs now. I feel like a fussy old man yelling at a cloud here, but dammit, enough is enough! And if you're gonna do all this Marvel content, then at least let Sam Wilson be the hero and MAIN character he's meant to be!

If I were in True Blood, I would want to be a vampire. But I'd want my maker to be long dead by the time I got to Bon Temps

I can't stand Grace Burgess. Full stop.

Here's a list of Girlboss "Evil" Ladies that I adore: Lucretia and Illythia from Spartacus, Dagmar from Enchantment, Brida from The Last Kingdom, POLLY MFING GRAY from Peaky Blinders, Gemma from Sons of Anarchy, Jinx from Arcane, Me, NAEVIA my angel queen from Spartacus, Cersei Lannister from Game of Thrones

Despite loving The Last Kingdom and Peaky Blinders, I normally don't watch shows like those anymore because I get very bored with and feel removed from shows/movies with a majority white only cast. I like to place myself into the story, and the lack of diversity in media really takes me out of the story.

I think more TV shows should have a random musical episode if applicable

D, H, Y

Hey Bre!

D: What’s the most personal fanfic you’ve written?

Unravelling. I've got experience from both sides of the main characters' perspectives there. Both Knowing What Wind feels like seeing a friend go through what Sky goes through, and What Sky goes through. (With less magic of course haha)

H: How would you describe your writing style?

Rambly and dialogue-driven, With a mixed POV that jumps as I see fit. I know it's not for everyone but its mine and I like it.

Y: What are your thoughts on your personal satisfaction with something you’ve written vs. the popularity of your stories?  Do you tend to be most satisfied with your most popular stories?  

Oh god no. I've got a fic which is MUCH more popular than my fave fic by a long shot. And that's not to say I dont have satisfaction with it because I DO. I love that story and I'm incredibly proud of how popular its become. I love to see a fic I've worked hard on getting the recognition, it's a great feeling to get that acknowledgement on something you've worked really hard on.

But There are several reasons why I might find satisfaction in a piece I've written. Mainly If I've told the story how I want to tell it. If it's a personal experience story etc. It might be a piece I've worked for months on changing, fixing and editing to make it perfect in my eyes. Finally getting that story out there after all that time does of course give me a sense of satisfaction.

I suppose it's a mixture. If you've put time into something you naturally want to see it do well. But sometimes that satisfaction comes from actually finishing the story and getting it posted.

Thanks for the Ask! :)

What’s your favorite LU headcanon?

Ooooh that's a good question, thank you!

I actually had to think about that for a while because I usually read a lot of headcanon but I don't have a lot of headcanon myself. Or I just forget to write them down or something and they completely vanish from my little head (silly memory).

I think my biggest headcanon is probably about how the Chain learned about each others' adventure. I really like to imagine that all of them kept things from each other (like Twi not saying anything about Wolfie, or Four about the Colors...). They just don't want the others to feel disappointed or weirded out by some of their more gruesome stories.

So, they hide a lot from the each other but they are not really good at it. For example, Wolfie getting hurt and somehow Twi has the same nasty cut on the same spot that he tried to hide from Hyrule. And some of them being kind of gossipy or nosy (*cough* Legend *cough*), some secrets get revealed and it just develops into a big guessing game to find who is the biggest liar of them all.

Time gets disqualified because he is WAY too mysterious about everything, no one knows when he is telling the truth or not. And no one suspects Sky because he looks too innocent.

They eventually crown Wild as 'The Hero of Lies' when they learn about the Shrine of Resurrection from Flora. Wild just sad he can't mess with them anymore. Maybe Time will tell them a bit more about his adventures but Wild refuses to give the old man his title of 'The Hero of Lies'.

Spitballing here but

Mostly for romance options I'm torn between Bellara and Lucanis, currently. And I feel like, if I can't decide, why not just make more OCs

So I'm thinking either

1. Rook romances Bellara, I give her an older sibling who romances Lucanis

2. Rook romances Lucanis, My Inquisitor's sister romances Bellara

Kinda leaning towards the former, especially since I am. Very shortly. Going to make Lucanis not a very happy camper vis a vis my narrative choices. If you know what I mean

What’s your current loungefly design?

I currently have a Grogu bag!

He is well loved.

What about you? What's your current bag?

[ahalliance]

the hottest character arcs are the ones where the char slowly loses their mind over time. pushed to the brink of their sanity as they keep doing worse and worse things/horrible things keep happening to them. bonus points if by the end of things when Everything Is Completely Fucked they have a moment of self reflection
