PLEASE THEIR DYNAMIC IS SO SWEET 😭

[rrcenic]

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

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.

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.)

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.

i am having WAY too much fun with random incorrect quote generators.

I’m still on my bullshit so say hello to Kida Jade Skywalker. alternate timeline oldest kid Who exists 1. To force Luke to confront the idea of having a “normal” kid. and 2. to introduce Sineaters, Lightwardens, and Gunblades into the Legends universe. 

No Yuzhon Vong war or Bugs, instead there are just like. twenty planets left in the galaxy cause a flood of light turned everybody into angel monsters and turned most of the galaxy into a light filled void. So not really a *better* timeline.

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.

BEN MY POOR SON 😭😭😭

[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...

IM SOBBING I WANT TO DRAW LOTF FANART SO BAD BUT I CANT

[magnetarbeam]

You know, for all the very good reasons to shit on Denning, I do think some credit is due for how much his writing manages to make me laugh, even though it's usually when he's trying to be completely serious.

Here's a top five list:

5: Fey'lya pulling up file holos to convince the Senate that he's having an Important Discussion With The Generals.

4: A Hapan household servant insulting Jaina and Zekk's flying, based on alleged simulator experience with N-1s and vulture droids.

3: Aurra Sing, of all people, getting her ass kicked by Jacen's five-year-old daughter.

2: Wynn and Gavin and Bwua'tu being in the room when Luke learns Abeloth's origin story. No amount of pay would be enough for this.

1: Lando and Booster using a celebrity sabacc tournament as collectively willing hostages.

(Honorable mention: Daala telling Jag "a Sith is just a Jedi who's gone off his meds.")

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).
