as much as there are better ways to make an impact, drawing your blorbos with a pro-palestine message/flag is great way to get fandoms to talk about the genocide and do something meaningful

we've seen time and time again how powerful fandom can be when they work together. imagine if everyone in the genshin fandom donated 5 dollars. if everyone in the ace attorney fandom did their daily clicks. if everyone in the star wars fandom bought an esim for gaza. if every hazbin hotel fan shared a gofundme link. there are millions of people who can make a difference, and we need to be educating and sharing knowledge.

obviously dont just do this. donate and advocate and do all you can. but if a picture of tails from sonic the hedgehog holding a palestinian flag can get just 5 people who knew nothing to google "what is happening in palestine," its made a difference

To give credit where credit is due: Luke playing Caedus like a fucking fiddle by messing with his visions is incredibly badass, if you can think of it outside the context that Denning thought Luke was a borderline sociopath.

WHY CAN I NOT CONSUME ANY PIECE OF MEDIA IN A NORMAL, HEALTHY FASHION.

I LITERALLY WENT TO A THE FORCE AWAKENS ORCHESTRAL CONCERT AND NOW I’M HYPERFIXATED ON STAR WARS. I READ A BOOK FOR ENGLISH AND NOW I’M HYPERFIXATED ON LORD OF THE FLIES. I WATCH AN OPENING BAND FOR HALF AN HOUR DURING A CONCERT AND THEN I GOT HYPERFIXATED ON FALLING IN REVERSE.

PLEASE LIFE. JUST LET ME WATCH SOMETHING WITHOUT GETTING OBSESSED WITH IT.

Sadbio!Ben hours. Legacy of the force was rough on him yo

Jokes aside this study was so cool and I’m really happy with how it turned out. I’ve been enjoying art a lot more lately and I feel like it’s starting to show.

One idea I've always toyed with that I'll never actually do because it's insane is a chronological reread/commentary of all the post-Return of the Jedi books.

Currently trying (and mostly failing) to write the drunk marriage scene.

mirta and jaina totally had a thing going for a while

[tremendouskoalachild]

how often do we see identical twins in star wars anyway? there's plenty of main character twin pairs but it's pretty much always boy and girl (Luke-Leia, Jaina-Jacen, the Visions twins). if they wanna use a look-alike they always go for clone fuckery instead.

seriously the only ones i can think of right now are Thexan-Arcann from swtor expansions and i guess the hapan ladies in lotf, though those are very minor.

PLEASE THEIR DYNAMIC IS SO SWEET 😭

[syn0vial]

oh no.... i just downloaded a bunch of star wars mods for rimworld and am now thinking about throwing my fave LotF characters into a playthru...

boba (obviously), mirta, beviin, medrit, and jaina? this cannot end well

[magnetarbeam]

You know, one of these days I'm gonna have to bite the blaster bolt and actually read a Traviss book if I am to resolve Jaina and Mirta's unresolved romantic tension.

(I did technically get about halfway through Bloodlines once, including Mirta's introduction, but I didn't pay any attention to any of it.)

Woah. I know you did not post a comic in a fandom tag framing an issue that's suffered by actual real people in a fictional world with little to no basis in the canon just to angst about how much you hate a fictional character. Does someone really need to point out to you how that's poor taste? and making a mockery of the suffering of actual people? Karen Traviss wrote the fist gay couple in Star Wars who were Mandalorians. They don't care about sexualities. Get a clue.

Hello Anon,

I did not create and post the comics with ill intention to mock real people or their struggles, just used this certain scenario to show how narrow-minded Kal’s views may be hurting other vulnerable people under his care. If this comic offended anyone, then I sincerely apologized. 

However I do not agree that being critical (or even satirical) toward fictional character means I must hate them the same as I do not agree my latest arts are baseless commentary of Skirata’s behavior as the book series made a lot points about his, at best, casual misogyny and how he framed normality for himself and clones (or in general, men) as to have a wife and kids that, for from my perspective and experience, seems to be the ground for Fi’s depression in True Colors, going so far as expressing the willingness to be in potentially abusive relationship just to have any girlfriend (double highlighted by the fact that non-Skirata trained clones like Deltas, Maze, Corr or even Atin did not have much second thought about the need of romantic and sexual relationship with women to feel “normal”).

I’m really glad you mentioned the gay Mandalorians* brought by the same author because their existence is what makes Republic Commando’s narrowed narrative stands even more. The two book series were written almost at the same time - RepCom from 2004 to 2009, LotF from 2006 to 2008 and since characters like Jusik, Jaing & Venku/Kad could migrate to the “bigger galactic” picture of LotF while sadly, the gender and sexual neutrality of LotF!Mandalorians did not bring anything to RepCom, then coming to the conclusion that Skirata - and presented by him ideals or in general, book narrative - does not represent the typical mandalorian social norms is not that far-stretched concept (and again, comics and previous arts of mine has never made fun of mandalorian culture as a whole, only Skirata’s narrow mindset and was never “Kal would hate his sons for not being straight" but rather "Kal is not really prepared to confront the possibility that clones may not want this kind of life").

To not keep the text too long, I again sincerely apologize to those who may feel offended by my art but I can’t apologize for my interpretation of Kal Skirata’s characterization as it is coming straight from the books. I do acknowledge though that everyone is free to interpret the source material according to personal experiences and understanding of the presented situations the characters were put.

 (*and anyone old enough to be already in star wars fandom during Legacy of the Force book series release may remember how a certain group of fans lashed out because of openly homosexual Mandalorians but like always, fandom can easily become a toxic place , so nothing new here, sadly).
