my top five FAVORITE fics I wrote this year

it’s almost new year, and I got a lot…

A lot done this year

so, let’s go over my top five favorite fics I wrote (and finished) this year, not in any order

thanks to @unhappy-sometimes for the idea!!

Tapes and Face me

This one is a twofer, mostly because they’re connected. I’m very proud of tapes because I really wanted to capture that analog horror feel, mostly because my irl friend was really obsessed with the Mandela catalogue at the time. Face me was like my first huge foray into whump. My favorite part of this fic was Sylvia and Anya’s relationship, and the letters Anya wrote to her as “mission reports”.

Open eyes

I wish this one got more love and attention. It was a very weird character study I wrote where Twilight meets Loid Forger and Redacted, who are separate but also the same as him. It bounced off from @buf309’s doppelgänger comic, but sort of became its own thing, it even had some fanart that I’m too eepy to find rn, I’ll have to reblog it later.

Tastes like blood

an idea that was over a year in the making, where Yor gets to enact revenge on someone for (almost) killing her husband on their wedding night. This fic is so important to me because Maya Rowan, the would-be killer, was such a fun character to write. I love her so much. This fic did have a sequel that I have yet to finish unfortunately, but IT WILL BE DONE (at some point)

Clementine

your stock standard “Anya gets kidnapped by those gosh darn scientists” plot, based on my initial interpretation of the song “my darling Clementine”, where, in my mind, it was about a father who lost his daughter in the river, and he couldn’t swim, so he “lost his Clementine”. The “swim” here was meant to represent how twilight couldn’t deal with his own feelings for his daughter, so he lost her, but then he gets her back again, fighting tooth and nail to keep her safe. For those who don’t know, I am especially weak for father-daughter stories (my relationship with my dad is great dw) so this one his very close to my heart. The scene where Loid finally says “I love you” to Anya was inspired by Ai Hoshino’s death scene from Oshi no ko (which unfortunately ended very badly this year, spare yourself the trouble and just look up Ai’s death scene, that’s as peak as the story gets) and I was listening to the ost of her death scene while writing it. And my god does it just tear you up inside.

also his mom’s ghost saying “you’ve been holding her like that all along” still rips me to shreds okay?

and last but not least

A way out

“Yay Norman mention”

“Update wtf?”

— @unhappy-sometimes, 2024

what CANT I say about this fic? It’s, imo, my magnum opus. It was so goddamn cathartic to write it. If you’re going to read it, please, please mind the trigger warnings.

getting on with that, this fic is so important to me. It started out as a very angsty whump fic that somehow became a very personal look into a narrative about self harm and coming to terms with one’s existence. Really, if you’re in the right headspace, I would suggest you read it. BUT ONLY IF YOU’RE IN THE RIGHT HEADSPACE. it genuinely reflects a lot of the dark thoughts I’ve struggled with since my hospitalization when I was thirteen. I hope that, if I can find some catharsis in it, maybe you can too.

well, that’s a wrap. I’ll still be writing, but I just wanted to get this post out there. Love yall, and happy new year!

Sundari Twilight, Chapter 2: The Eminent Ones

Day 7: What If?

Barriss’s quest to help the Galaxy outside the war lead her to discover Duchess Satine Kryze’s desperate transmission. Ahsoka decides to use her history with Mandalore to help out. They journey there with an Obi-Wan who is not in his usual state of mind.

Notes: This chapter specifically was written for @sapphicahsokatanoweek 2024, but the whole fic really does fit “What if…Ahsoka and Barriss went with Obi-Wan to Mandalore?” If anyone wants to make fanart of the outfits I describe, please tag me when you post it! This is sort of a mirror version of “Kenobi’s Shadow” by Greg van Eekhout (Obi-Wan’s pov during “The Lawless”) More notes can be found at the end, below the cut

—

“Brother, how can you be sure?” Savage had never found the same deep connection to the Force that his brother had. “The galaxy is filled with quadrillions of beings making choices that affect the future.”

“No, no, no, there are very few beings alive that can affect my old master’s grand design.” He had never felt a disturbance like this before. The visions Maul had were now playing out differently than before. “We must be cautious, my apprentice. Our plans with Death Watch and the Crime Families are under a new threat.”

—

Two girls were basking in each other’s warmth. One, newly knighted and unsure of her future in the Jedi Order. She was curled up on a bed, resting her head on the chest of the other, a padawan who hasn’t felt unsure of anything since she was resurrected by an avatar of the Force. But they were united in a shared love for doing good in a galaxy that detested it.

The padawan inhaled the sweet scent of her partner’s hair, a mix of fragrant oils and sweat, with the faintest hint of salt from their previous activities. “Did I ever tell you that your hair is beautiful?”

“Only three times every day, Ahsoka.” The knight had thoroughly enjoyed her time with her beloved, and was somewhat saddened knowing the war would conspire to separate them again. “But it makes up for the days I never get to hear it.” She got many compliments from others about her choices in hoods and scarves, but very few people got to see what was underneath.

A computer’s chime pierced the tranquility of their room. Barriss’s slicing program had discovered a new request for aid that could go unnoticed. She kissed Ahsoka’s breast before sliding off of her and into a chair in front of her computer. Ahsoka turned on her side and watched her lover fiddle with the device. “What did you find?”

“A transmission sent the Jedi council, personally. From…Mandalore?” “That’s a bit strange,” Barriss thought, “Why is Mandalore contacting us directly? Surely they could reach out thru the Senate.”

“Put it thru.” It hadn’t been all that long since Ahsoka had last interacted with Mandalorians, so she was curious what was going on.

A blue hologram of the Duchess of Mandalore, on one knee, erupted from the computer’s small holo-projector. “This message is for Obi-Wan Kenobi. I’ve lost Mandalore. My people have been massacred, and Almec is the Prime Minister. There’s no time to explain everything now, but Almec has the support of the crime families”—she looked over her shoulder before continuing—“Obi-Wan, I need your help.” A Death Watch commando with a horned helmet approached her from behind as the transmission ended.

Ahsoka’s resolve steeled. “We’re doing this, we’re going to help Obi-Wan.”

“What do you mean?” Barriss wasn’t quite sure how to follow her partner’s logic.

“I thought it was obvious. The situation on Mandalore is obviously bad. Almec used to be the prime minister before he was the center of a corruption scandal and stripped of his power—a scandal some of my students there exposed.” A small smile crept onto her face, remembering Korkie, Lagos, Soniee, and Amis. “If crime families have aligned with Death Watch to put him back in power, something went very wrong.”

“But why won’t the Republic assist them? Weren’t Death Watch working with the Separatists?”

“Death Watch and Dooku are no longer friendly. The Senate isn’t even helping Republic worlds, let alone a neutral system like Mandalore.” Then Ahsoka began laying out her plan. “The Council is going to show this to Obi-Wan, but they’re not going to be able to help him without Senate authorization. But Obi-Wan’s still going to help, because Satine is personal to him.” She let the unspoken “Like we are to each other” hang in the air. “I’m guessing he’s gonna borrow the Twilight to try and sneak onto Mandalore.”

“I take it that’s where we come in to help?” Barriss was grinning, she was starting to see the pieces fall into place.

“Exactly. We ride along with him to Mandalore. This is a covert mission, but I have contacts there that he doesn’t. We can’t be wearing anything Jedi-related, or anything that looks like what we normally wear.”

“Should we still bring our lightsabers?”

Ahsoka thought for a few beats. “On one hand, they are Jedi items. If we’re caught with them, whatever crime families are running the place will know what’s happening. But, if Death Watch are involved, their leader has a Darksaber, and it would be a bad idea to encounter him without one.”

“Perhaps we carry them inside our disguises. We don’t show them off, but we can still access them if we have to.”

“I love that idea.” She draped her arms over Barriss’s shoulders. “Plan for the best…”

“…Prepare for the worst.” It was a little catchphrase they had developed, their two signature styles. The knight had always favored making plans, while the padawan was ready to change things when circumstances worsened.

The knight leaned in for a kiss from her lover, who always obliged.

—

Obi-Wan Kenobi hated flying. He even considered taking Anakin up on his offer, to come along and fly the Twilight for him. But he couldn’t bring anyone else. Two Jedi would attract too much attention. This was personal. This was something he had to do alone. ”For Satine,” he thought.

As he entered what could generously be described as a bridge, he almost missed R7-A7. Barely registering it, only as a friendly droid. “R7, set the stealthiest course you can out of here.” A few cheerful beeps later, a flight plan popped up on his screen. A low flight to the pass under the flight restrictions, the public airways to blend in on active scans, and a “malfunctioning” transponder to avoid passive detection. None of the Republic Military patrols (which he outranked, ironically) were going to stop him. The sublight engines quietly roared to life, and soon enough he was en route.

After an uneventful hyperspace jump, a distant feeling of dread crept over him. Like the mission was going to fall apart. Quiet doubts began murmuring if he was even doing the right thing. He was experienced enough with his own emotions to not be consumed be them, but the edge he felt while packing was now blunt.

A familiar voice snapped Obi-Wan out of his malaise. “Wow, you really must be preoccupied with Satine.” A Togrutan the same size and build as his student’s student, wearing greasy blue coveralls, had taken the co-pilot’s seat next to him. It took him an embarrassingly long time to realize that, yes, that really is Ahsoka. “R7, did he make any comment about you being here?” A few negative beeps followed, with a bit of what sounded like laughter.

“On the solo mission,” he thought, “that’s why her droid was here.” He slowly put his face into his palm, “Ahsoka, I just told Anakin he couldn’t come with me. And now you show up?”

“Barriss owes me ten credits,” she smirked, “I bet her you wouldn’t notice anything was up until after we left. I knew you would be too focused on your mission.” As she was talking, Barriss Offee—in a white headscarf and a dark purple cloak—approached the co-pilot’s chair and handed her a credit chip.

“You just keep inviting yourself on missions, don’t you.” Obi-Wan recalled the stunt she pulled at the citadel.

“Master, you’re the one who invited yourself on this mission without any official approval,” Ahsoka retorted.

Barriss continued in a Consular voice, “We’re just here to support you in whatever way we can.”

“You wouldn’t understand, this is…deeply personal”

“Wouldn’t we?” Ahsoka’s smirk had softened to genuine care. Obi-Wan looked at the two women in front of him. They had the same look of concern as when Anakin offered to help, trying to understand his personal agenda with his own.

“It’s not just who I would be help, it’s who I’d be fighting. Death Watch…”

“Has affected more than just you!” Righteous anger flashed behind Ahsoka’s eyes; Obi-Wan almost missed it. “You are not the only one of us to be hurt by them. You are not alone, Master!”

With this plea, Obi-Wan relented. “I’m sorry, Ahsoka. I didn’t realize this was personal for you too. I just know they bring out the worst in me and I didn’t want anyone else to be hurt.”

Ahsoka took his hands, which had started trembling with anxiety. “You’re never alone, Obi-Wan.” It was the first time she had used his real name in a long time.

“There are so many people who care for you,” added Barriss, smiling. “Let them help you when you need it.”

After a tender silence, Ahsoka asked, “So Master, what was your plan?”

“I was planning on breaking into whatever prison they’re holding her in, then escaping with her.”

“A simple extraction mission? That could work.”

In contrast to Barriss, Ahsoka had a lot more questions. “How are you planning on landing there? The docks are the only way in or out, and they would be under tight security now.”

“Well, I did bring a Disguise.” Obi-Wan opened his bag and pulled out the helmet of Rako Hardeen. Ahsoka flinched as she remembered when he faked his death.

“And if they ask for a landing permit?”

A smile—“I’ll try the old ‘I left it on the ship’ trick.”

The two younger Jedi started giggling. “Anakin would call that a good trick,” Ahsoka laughed, “but I’m surprised you would call it a plan.”

“I suppose he does have an influence on me. What would you suggest?”

“You know I taught at the Royal Academy,” Ahsoka started revealing her plan. “I still have contacts, and Barriss and I can convincingly fake the landing paperwork.”

“And your disguises?”

“You’re looking at them.” Barriss was now sitting at a computer console. “It’s pretty easy to not be recognized when you’re famous for one outfit.”

—

After a landing that was rougher than expected (Ahsoka had rewire a power junction in-flight), the three Jedi descended the Twilight’s landing ramp. Obi-Wan and Barriss led the way, as Ahsoka wanted to reduce her chances of being recognized from her last encounter. A Death Watch trooper approached them. “State your business.”

“We’re here to purchase merchandise for export.” Barriss handed over a datapad with forged permit, “Electronics, mostly.”

“Our vendor wishes to remain anonymous,” added Kenobi’s filtered and modified voice.

After a brief look-over, the Mandalorian gave his approval. “Well, it looks like you’re authorized. Please, enjoy our city.”

When the three managed to exit earshot and enter the tunnel, Ahsoka commenced attempts to contact any possible allies. Written messages, voice messages, browsing local holo boards. Within a few minutes, she began receiving a transmission.

“Ahsoka, am I glad to hear from you.”

Despite the anonymous transmission, she recognized the voice. “Soniee, is it? We heard the Duchess’s call and are here to help.”

“Good. We can’t keep this line open, just meet us at these coordinates.” A location popped up on Ahsoka’s comlink before the transmission ended.

She turned to her companions, “Shall we?”

—

When the three disguised Jedi reached the agreed-upon destination, a Mandalorian in familiar armor was waiting for them. She was a mystery to two of them, but for Ahsoka, it had only been a few months.

Simultaneously, they asked, “What are you doing here?”

—

Notes: “Merchandise for export” is definitely a euphemism for black-market goods. I actually don’t remember how often Ahsoka says “Obi-Wan” in TCW, but I’m reasonably certain she never says it to his face.

Hello! Welcome to my MLP Au i want to go through some important stuff about this Au Before i start to post things on this blog

Good place to start is talking about the origins of this idea originally this was a game i would play with my child hood best friends when i was anywhere between 12-13 when season 7 just began and the movie had just been announced originally as kids we called it Hippogriff war because the story is about ponies being at war with griffins

Fast forward to about 5 years later

When i was 18 I decided i wanted to redesign feather beak and moonstar for me and my friend for shits and giggles.

Enter the era of eagle duck faced feather beak

Though this started out as a fun drawing project i realized i really like Moon star's and feather beaks dynamic and decided to do some concept art for a comic though life happened and the comic ended early

The early days of me making the comic 2 years ago was me lowering the like- eight characters i barely remember and made it into the main 4 in my comic hence me making ash hoof and calamity

Two characters that i thought of a long long time ago and never drawn but reworked them into equestrian war

Around that time i had redesigned moonstar and feather beak again and decided to make them based off the four horsemen War, Pestilence, Famine And Death. Though i call them the Four horses of the apocalypse and they are to put an end to the war

The original logo

P.s after 2 years i realized Equestrian is spelled horribly wrong

Equestrian War 2 pastel horse bamboozaloo

So this one was being worked on a bit in 2024 and i basically got worn out from the new style of the comic because i made it Too detailed so didnt last long but still important to mention that i tried doing this twice now but-

Welcome to Equestrian war 3

This Au takes place 100 years in the future were twilight sparkle is princess of equestria. We Follow Moon Star in finding the four horses of the apocalypse in order to take down the crusty old griffen king, King Nimbus and save equestria but thing is- she distrusts everypony

RULES

You may draw fanart for the series i do not care

You may make ocs and sometimes i might include your oc as a background character

Any inconsistencies with some show lore is usually just my own head canon and im only including lore and references to gen 4 because i haven't watched anything from gen 5 except the movie and do not plan to in the future as i dont like it

Target audience is 13+ due to the violence, serious topics, and scary moments though im hoping to also keep the same vibes of mlp. Kind of making MLP for a more teen audience

Im glad to have you for the ride

#mlp g4 #my little pony #my litte pony friendship is magic #mlp fim #mlp au #equestrian war

Q&A excerpt from a fanmeet/discussion event with Yuyi (余兒), author of the 九龍城寨 | City of Darkness (Twilight of the Warriors) novels — June 2024

Translation made from a transcript written out in Mandarin; the live discussion took place in Cantonese. (x)

Q (提问者为男粉丝)："漫画和电影都产生了很多BL衍生现象（全场爆笑），想问下你对这个现象有什么看法？漫画作者司徒剑桥的画风很美型，当年我看漫画的时候就有想过会有BL，但电影我看一两次都没想到。"

QUESTION (note by transcript OP: person asking is a male fan): "Both the [City of Darkness] manhua and movie have given rise to a lot of BL fanworks." [*crowd breaks out laughing*] "So I wanted to ask what your thoughts on that phenomenon are. Andy Seto's art style in the manhua is very beautiful, and the year I read it, I thought there might be BL [fanworks]. But even after seeing the movie twice I hadn't imagined this."

A："整个电影团队都没想到。（全场爆笑）十几年前九龙城寨漫画刚出的时候，港漫还没有BL发生，九龙城寨应该是第一本有BL同人出现的。当时我去了RG（编者注：即香港的一个同人志漫展Rainbow Gala）看到有同人创作就觉得“点解会咁”（怎么会这样）？当然我不是介意，我是开心的，因为大家是因为喜欢你的角色所以才这样创作。当时的同人创作持续了两三年就慢慢淡去了，直到我没想到这个月我又去了RG，居然又看到了，我只能说这就是城寨的命吧。"

"后来我反思会不会是兄弟情去到某一个阶段某一个位置，就会让你有这样的联想。（其实这些同人创作）四子他们都有看到的，也都开心，但是他们未必有看到BL的故事，只是看到同人图而已。其实我不介意这些的，但是那些作者看到我就尴尬。在RG现场我看到一本叉烧饭封面（编者注：指之前余兒老师买的All信一本）的BL同人本，就买了当作珍藏，但我没看。那个摊主还掩面很尴尬，希望大家不要尴尬，都OK的。"

ANSWER: "The entire movie team hadn't imagined it either." [*crowd laughs*] "Ten years ago, when the City of Darkness manhua had just come out, Hong Kong manhuas didn't have anything BL happening. City of Darkness should have been the first IP here to have BL doujinshi made for it. At the time, when I went to RG (transcript note: Rainbow Gala, Hong Kong's first doujin comic-con), I saw some doujin fanworks and thought 'Why would this happen?' Of course, I didn't mind. I was happy, since it was because everyone liked my characters enough that they were making creations like this. The doujin works continued to appear back then for about 2-3 years before slowly dying down. Until I went to RG again this month, and I hadn't pictured that this would happen, but I saw them all once more. I can only say that this must be the fate of the City of Darkness franchise."

"Eventually I reflected on this, and whether or not the feelings of brotherhood [in the story] had reached a certain stage and place, that caused people to have this kind of association. The [actors playing the] Walled City Four have all seen these fanworks and they're pleased about it, although they've only seen the fanart, not the stories. Actually, I really don't mind all of this, but those creators feel awkward when they see me. At RG I bought a BL doujinshi that had barbecue pork rice on the cover*, just to keep as a collector's item, although I didn't look through it. The stall vendor was covering their face, and seemed very embarrassed. I hope people don't need to feel embarrassed! It's all OK."

*The book Yuyi bought and is referring to is a fully explicit fanfic compilation of different characters in the series railing Shin (信一). Do with that knowledge what you will.

#it's neat that he's fully aware of how the character relationships can be interpreted in different ways #and is not only happy people are running with it but has done the same thing himself tbh #(the knowledge that 龍捲風 and 阿占's story is inspired by romeo and juliet will haunt me forever)#anyways. i know people here don't care about this but it's still fun to hear creators' thoughts on people queering their work. so here #twilight of the warriors: walled in #九龍城寨之圍城 #yuyi #余兒 #ashton originals #ashton's translations
