When space whale design so good you can't just steal it to your own cosmoopera story so you have to draw your first fanart in years and revive your tumblr art blog to post it

Ezra version ♡

[ID: A horizontal artwork showing Exra Bridger from season 2 of Star Wars: Rebels and the group of space whales, Purgil. The purgil are floating in space and one of them, closest to the viewing point, is positioned so that its eye coincides with one of Ezra's eyes. Their eyes are shining teal blue. Ezra is depicted in a somewhat abstract way, he stands waist high and the space behind him, but behind the whales.

In the second version of the image, Ezra is in the foreground, while the Purgil is only in the background. He is standing and holding his lightsaber, looking somewhat lost in thought. ]

Jedi are only meant to use the Force for knowledge and defence, so while the clones have witnessed their Jedi doing some incredible things on the battlefield, they aren’t used to the way the Terrans use the Force.

Because to them it’s an extension of their body, a way of interacting with the world around them. It’s integrated into their day to day life, and more so than just meditation.

So the clones will be in the mess hall, in line to get their food and suddenly a tray will just float past them as a Terran from across the room is loading it up with food and then bringing over to their table.

Someone will sneeze and suddenly a tissue just floats over to them and they don’t even know where it came from.

Clones will be busy loading up a ship with supplies when the Terrans walk in and see the Jedi just sort of standing there?? So they exchange confused looks but just kind of shrug and lift the very heavy crate the two troopers are carrying with the Force and then just go on to load up the rest of the ship. They see this behaviour from the Jedi a couple more times and don’t really get it, like they think the Jedi are just kinda,,, dumb? Like guys you CAN use the Force for this, the boys don’t gotta be lugging all this shit around? So they just do it instead, every time they have to prepare for a mission a couple of Terran officers show up and just load everything up and when the clones go “thank you so much, sir! :D” they are like “it took two minutes and we didn’t even break a sweat?”

And the Terrans stay as confused about the Jedi’s use of the Force as the Clones are about theirs, like damn, you can really just do ANYTHING, huh?

The Jedi don’t really know what to do with all this, because to them it’s incredibly disrespectful to use the Force so liberally, but now their clones are walking up to them every now and again like “sir could you fetch that thing that’s on the really high up shelf?” (item is very big and heavy), “excuse me sir but Boil made friends with another group of kids and they said their tooka is stuck in a tree.” (tree is about 15 meters high), “Could you pass that medkit over there, sir?” (medkit is on the other side of the hangar)

And they don’t wanna be rude and shoot their men down, but they can’t just go using the Force for all this random shit, like that’s not what it’s FOR?? so now Jedi are climbing shelves and trees and running across hangars all the goddamn time and the Terrans are just like,,,

“WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU????”

“WHAT’S WRONG WITH YOU????”

“WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHATS WRONG WITH US, YOU’RE THE ONES PUTTING UP TENTS WITH YOUR BARE FUCKING HANDS??? IT TAKES LIKE TWENTY MINUTES LONGER!!! LIKE, MY GUY, WE WANNA GET SOME SLEEP???”

bonus: Nevaeh has a thing about holding things (she hates it) so whenever she needs to hold her space phone, space wallet, lip balm, cigarette and coffee they just kinda float behind her because she can’t be fucked.

Obi-Wan said she’s a bad influence on Ahsoka (he’s right) (soka also can’t be fucked)

Ummm… so what does it mean if someone looked at over half of their family members (most of which are on one side), themselves included, and have thought “oh that sounds a lot like Tech or like something Tech would do or gives off Tech vibes”?

I’m not asking for a friend.

I said a little bit about this in a comment a few hours ago (hey kenny) and I actually really felt like saying more.

For all that gay people/Tumblr people/AO3 peope/waves hand are really, really into found family they are actually pretty allergic to conceptualizing familial relationships outside of nuclear family roles.

I see a billion posts on Tumblr about how friendships can be just as important as romantic relationships, if not more, but nobody ever actually writes the friendship as important as a romantic relationship. Or friendships are interpreted as romantic, or friendships are sidelined for the romantic relationship. It's always a weird disparity between what people say are important and people actually find important for me.

So when we do step out of romantic relationship and into gen relationships, we typically enter the trope world of #foundfamily. But the same kind of flattening of characters for the sake of shoving them into yaoi ghost archetypes honestly also really happens with family relationships.

There is always a dad. There's always a mom. There's always siblings (frequently the canon female love interest). Maybe an uncle? Ex-wife if we are feeling sexy that day.

I really rarely see people interested in #foundfamily relationships outside of those boxes. It is overwhelmingly, entirely American-centric. There's no recognition of the unbelievable diversity and breadth of human relationships, or the very many ways there are to love somebody. In fanfic, if there's a much older male character emotional close to younger characters, he's dad mode. And the relationship then follows the character and story beats of the father-child relationship intended to draw out those fuzzy family feelings. Damn, I read found family stuff to get away from the intense claustrophobia of the fandom's favorite ship, I'm not here to get family yaoi ghosted here too.

I think you can create a very unique and engaging relationship if you're wiling to engage with the unknown and uncomfortable. Make a path without the paint by numbers story beats and character arcs. Please stop letting tropes rule your writing instead of construct it.

Write stories about love. Write relationships about loving each other. Just start from there, and don't worry about anything else. Create a relationship that is its own. Let it breathe. It can stand on its own two feet. It'll be a richer relationship and a richer story.

"Sabine Wren would only do this because of romantic love-" Din Djarin, a person that risked his life, job, and entire covert for a weird green baby he just met would not stand for this Mandalorian slander

Neurodivergent headcanons for the Young and Junior Jedi Knights kiddoz:

Jaina Solo, an ADHD queen, like her mama before her

Jacen Solo, AuDHD, was thinking just ADHD at first but there's no way this kid is allistic I'm sorry.

Anakin Solo, need I say it, Autistic

Tenel Ka, my autism girl

Tahiri "cannot stand shoes" Veila?? Autistic. Possibly ADHD too. Haven't decided yet.

It is muscle memory that makes Ezra slip his knife back into its sheath, because he has no thoughts for anything or anyone besides the girl across the room. She lies on her back on the interrogation table, strapped down, pale, eyes closed, blood dried and crusted in trickles down her face from a dozen separate cuts.

Ezra is beside her in an instant, ripping off the restraints that bind her arms and legs down. She doesn’t even notice.

“Sabine?”

She responds with a weak whimper. It’s a sound that should come from a wounded animal, not the fearless Jedi he knows.

He takes a risk, and runs his fingers across her cheek, brushing the sweat-damp hair from her face.

Now she gasps, lurching away from his touch with a choked, “no, no, please, please no—”

“Sabine. Sabine! I’m not going to hurt you—it’s me! It’s Ezra!”

Her struggling stops and her tear-damp eyelashes flutter; she looks without seeing.

“Ezra,” she whispers, trying the name out slowly. “Ez-ra. Ezzsraaah…?”

And then, oh, praise the stars—a light in her eyes.

“Ezra.”

“Yeah. Ezra.”

She raises a hand, shakily, searching blindly until her fingers brush the cold beskar of his helmet. They trace across it, following the shape, and even with the solid layer between them, he can almost feel her touch on his skin.

Her hand drops down and she stares at him for a long, heart-stopping second. Then she smiles hazily.

“You have wonderful eyes.”

Ezra can’t help his snort of laughter. He took the Creed years before they met. She doesn’t even know what his eyes look like.

“Did they drug you, or are you just having one of your weird Force moments?” he asks as he slides his arms under her, lifting her as gently as he can.

She rests her head on his chestplate and taps the beskar. “You’re shiny.”

Both, probably, he decides.

Fic authors self rec! When you get this, reply with your favorite five fics that you've written, then pass on to at least five other writers. spread the self-love ❤

THANK YOU <3 Maybe it's unfair, but I have to go with most of my longfics (you grow attached to them!):

1. What You Are And What You’ll Never Be (+ sequel/epilogue) [Star Wars] - I feel like I did really well with Obi-Wan's emotional journey and it was very important to me to show the healing too :) As it's so long, I'm glad I managed to finish it (also I really like the main OC here).

2. Saving Flowers [Star Wars] - The first time I put real effort into the character development of the main characters and planned most of the plot before writing it (at least the latter half).

3. Bridge Over Troubled Water [Gravity Falls] - The first really long fic I finished in English and the main villain was a lot of fun to create/write :D

4. The War That Never Was [Hetalia] - A lot of fun to write. I love playing with alternate timelines, and England and Prussia's banter was awesome too. I feel like the tensions were high.

5. Of Time And Other Irregularities [Spider-Verse] and The Nature Of Snow [Hetalia] and Thorns and Roses [Vinland Saga] - I put these three together because they're united by one thing: research. I did so much research for them, you won't believe it :P (for Hetalia and Vinland Saga it was a lot of historical references, for the Spider-Verse OS it was old comics and Scrabble - yes, the boardgame). Also, they were so much fun to write!
