#my birthday my self indulgent post

[bluberimufim]

Since it's my birthday I was intending to post a couple of drawings of my OCs but I got so busy I didn't finish them, so please let me offer you some Thoughts on a DoS modern au that's been feeding my brain worms lately!!

The modern au equivaent of Seth's backstory is that she got kicked out of medical school for accidentally killing a guy, moved into an abandoned house out in the middle of nowhere, started acting like she had a medical license, and became the village doctor

(She's very competent!! she just didn’t finish college)

Theo would 100% have a tiktok where she posts 🌸cottagecore🌼 videos (Seth films and shows up in the background a few times)

The Goddess of Time is one of those obnoxious beige moms

Dora is a semi-successful painter for whom Asha sometimes models for and Dora has been Down Bad for her for YEARS but she's too much of a yearner(TM) to do anything about it

Besides being a model for Dora, Asha is also a doctor, Seth's former classmate, and this world's religion's equivalent of a nun

For some reason, I feel like Seth, Dora, and General Fallin would make a really fun friend group??? Idk, more on that in the future maybe

Dora is goth!! She never got the chance to be alt in the story but I feel like she'd be goth!

Everyone gets along and is alive because I said so and they deserve it ✨✨✨ (except for the Goddess of Time, who I despise)

Maybe I will doodle this someday. Someday eventually.

A Twin's Anger

I've been thinking about Twin Marston lately

I don't think "Twin" ever hated Andrew. Or, at least, not to the extent he did his parents. Because for how terrible the dismissals were, the neglect he faced for the sake of Andrew, Twin doesn't seem the kind to have hated him solely for that. After all, with how Andrew talks about them, they seemed like best friends in their younger years. Playing video games, sneaking out, etc. Was he jealous? Absolutely. Hatred? Eh..

Then Isaac and Darling happened.

Canonically, Twin didn't (at the time) know about Andrew and Isaac's relationship (see here) and there's no way to tell if he saw the video/knows about Andrew's current relationship, but this entire post is in the realm of speculation so let me indulge.

Because if he did know about both relationships? Oh god.

Isaac's the difficult one. It lends credence to both forgiving and despising Andrew. On one hand, it's rational to think that maybe Andrew didn't speak up because he was in a similar situation to Twin (that is, being queer). But, from another perspective, Andrew also being queer gives more reason to help his brother - what's being a golden child worth if it's spent at the expense of a man scorned from your shared vice?

That’s where the disdain begins. For Andrew to silently choose their abusive parents before him, despite also being queer, it solidifies Andrew’s indecisiveness. Or perhaps he thinks he’s better than Twin. That even if he’s into men, that can be forgiven because he’s him.

Either way he feels, Andrew is a hypocrite. And Twin leaves. And they’re both left to deal with the fallout, each emotionally constipated.

Years pass. Twin’s only exposure to Andrew is the occasional call or text. Voicemails left unheard. And then the scandal happens.

News is plastered everywhere on his phone, curated from the years he googled Andrew’s name in midnight depressive spirals: Professor caught… professor groomed… there’s even more headlines. A video. Two videos. Thrown drinks. And him, the disgraced professor, defending the relationship.

And Twin is reminded of when he didn’t.

In defending someone he had barely known (because Andrew and Darling really didn’t know each other, they lusted after each other) Andrew showed that he was willing. He was able. Just not for his brother. Because what does it say about Andrew, who was willing to defend a near-stranger in some selfish desire to keep his relationship and wasn't for the man whom he shared a womb with?

Andrew had given up everything for Darling, we know this: But to Twin? Beyond the obvious, Andrew essentially threw away every year, the decade of abuse he suffered because of Andrew's "intelligence" for the sake of lust. And he was allowed to stay working at the university! Twin's love, the kind that got him thrown out and a reason he was discarded, was probably painted as just lust, not real love. But where he was so severely punished, Andrew didn't even loose his job — he made the choice to leave.

And if Andrew has a male listener? Then all this would be amplified ten fold. Golden-child Andrew is in a very public relationship with a man, defending them in some vain attempt to justify it! And they go out to museums together, they eat at nice restaurants, they get to be happy together. And Andrew is happier than he’s seemed in so long, because Twin knows his brother’s joy, and it sure as shit wasn’t there when he was alone and isolated as the young, prodigy professor. Andrew has turned Twin's eternal sin into his saving grace.

Could you imagine the anger? The bitterness? The feeling of watching the man you once called a ‘brother’ further drive the knife in your back?

That’s where the anger comes from. Not the original offense, but everything that came after. The ricochet of it all. If Twin wasn't coming back before, he certainly isn't now.

I guess the beauty of it all is how many parallels there are. A Marston is in a forbidden relationship, which is only forbidden due to the direct surrounding environment as outside of it there's really nothing wrong, and is found out by the very creators of said environment. They defend themselves, but upon lacking support from those he thought he could count on (Andrew or, in his case, the faculty) he leaves the situation completely and gives up on a huge factor of his life.

Crazy.

(Of course, this post doesn't take into account Andrew and Darling's POV, because Twin doesn't have that. We know that they argued and broke up, but he doesn't, and I really wanted to explore just how he may feel about all of this without further context.)

(Please somebody talk to me about Twin Marston I'm dying over here. Severe droughts in content for him I'm STARVING)

“Because of a cake?”

Ezra Bridger x gn!reader

Summary ; In which you scold your best friend on your birthday.

Requested? ; No, self-indulgent

Warnings ; none.

Word count ; 615

——————————————————————

"So."

You swallowed the bite of cake - jogan fruitcake, no less - and raised a brow at the boy beside you. Well, really, he's more of a man now. But he grew up too quickly. It's hard to see him in that way.

Stars. You grew up too quickly, too, right along with him.

War has a funny way of doing that to teenagers who just deserve to be kids. But nonetheless, you still somehow find moments of respite.

Much like now.

"You mean to tell me. That you risked. Being found. By the Empire. Mr. Mitth'raw'nuruodo finding you, himself. On Lothal. Just to get a cake, all for my birthday?", you asked, pausing every so often for emphasis on how awful that idea was to your best friend. "You risked the whole of this rebellion, because of a cake?"

"Jogan Fruitcake," he corrected, stabbing at his own piece of cake with a fork. "But i guess, when you put it that way..."

He looked off to the side, taking a bite of the delicious treat.

You scoffed. He would risk a lot of things to make anyone in the Ghost Crew feel better, but this just takes the cake.

... no pun intended. Kind of.

He really did steal the cake. You weren't going to discuss that then, though, or even begin to wonder how he pulled that off imperial occupied Lothal. He's never done something that risky for a cake, even for Hera and Sabine.

"You are the dumbest idiot I've ever met, Ezra.", you sighed, holding a hand up before he had a chance to speak. You could just tell he was about to, after knowing him for so long. "And don't tell me that's redundant, smartass, I know it is - redundancy is the only proper way I can describe you at this point."

Ezra laughed, his shoulder gently bumping into yours while you both watched the sunset hanging past the trees on Yavin IV. You guys both found a little hideaway on top of the base when it was first established. Not many people knew about it, save for you, Sabine and Ezra.

And maybe a few others too, sadly, but you digress.

"Well, hey. High risk, high reward--", he began, casting a smile in your direction. The corners of your mouth began to turn up a bit, much to your utter dismay. You can never pretend to be disappointed in him for long. "And besides, it got you this awesome birthday cake, right?"

"Yeah," you hummed in acknowledgement, poking at a slice of jogan fruit with your fork. "I guess so."

Ezra reached over, stealing that slice of jogan fruit. He ignored your scoff of indignation, and gently swatted your hand away from stealing it back. "As long as it makes you happy, I'd do anything for you."

He had the gall to snicker after that, and eat your piece of fruit, that fiend.

"Except when it comes down to stealing my food.", you grumbled. You reached over towards his plate, and stabbed your fork into one of his own jogan fruit slices he put off to the side, as payback for him stealing yours.

"Hey--", he laughed, knowing damn well what he did. "That was my food!"

"You stole mine first! It's only fair--"

"--But I got it for you--"

"--Don't pull that Jedi guilt on me now--"

"--Jedi guilt?!"

The lighthearted bickering continued as the dusk morphed into a calm night. The calmest you've been in a long, long while.

Well, his risk definitely had a good reward. He made you happy today, regardless of the fact that he risked capture once again.

Over a cake.

Meet BB: fey, memory manipulator, deeply devoted to that one snarky little mess of a human they ran into by accident and very very much in love with him. Which translate to BB respecting his wishes as long as they’re not self destructive. In short: a pet monster who somehow has one of the best takes on love of all my characters.
