subtle ways to feel tiny 24/7

attach charms to your keychain, carry around a smaller backpack, listen to nostalgic SFW music, play with fidget toys and chewables, cut your food up into fun shapes, wear overalls or rompers, look at kidcore or childhood blogs, color with crayons or markers, have tons of patterned socks, put at least one plush on your bed, cover your water bottle in stickers, drink juice with one of your meals, style your hair with funky clips, enjoy wholesome video games, sleep in long fuzzy animal onesies, buy yourself a fuzzy blanket, use pins all over your backpack, watch disney / studio ghibli movies, have a nightlight for your bedroom, try to not use bad language and be kind and caring to others!

"The callousness of it all struck Obi-Wan profoundly. Units. Final product. These were living beings they were talking about. Living, breathing, and thinking. To create clones for such a singular purpose, under such control, even stealing half their childhood for efficiency, ..."

"Obi-Wan looked up at the Kaminoan, to see his eyes glowing with pride as he looked out upon his creation. There were no ethical dilemmas as far as Lama Su was concerned, Obi-Wan knew immediately. Perhaps that was why the Kaminoans were so good at cloning: their consciences never got in the way.

Lama Su looked down at him, smiling widely, prompting a response, and Obi-Wan offered a silent nod.

Yes, they were magnificent, and the Jedi could only imagine the brutal efficiency this group would exhibit in battle, in the arena for which they were grown.

Once again, a shudder coursed down Obi-Wan Kenobi’s spine."

one thing i love about star wars is that the jedi are monks with dangerous psychic space magic, and so they're monks on purpose. they're joyfully and intentionally participating in their institution and finding meaning and happiness in life as monks—anakin is the exception that proves the rule!

it makes me happy to see as many people in the world live like this, and are quite happy with rich, full lives in fellowship with their fellow monks, practicing the tenets of their philosophies, studying the world and themselves, handing down their traditions and wisdom, always helping others; this is such a valid and good way to live, not any kind of oppression.

if anakin had been less selfish, if he had internalized and practiced the jedi philosophy of moderation and compassion, he could have had a rich, happy life (if only he lived in an age without the malice and menace of the sith!) and that's the root of his tragedy that he turned away from those bonds and generous purpose toward his own private pleasure.

it's not easy to practice discipline, but it's so worth it, both for you and everyone whose lives you can touch. it bothers me when i see comments openly and offensively denigrating all organized living; the individualistic amatonormative anti-religion biases of sw fandom are unfortunately on almost continual display. not all religions and religious organizations are abusive and controlling!

i believe from the bottom of my aromantic heart that one don't need romantic love and a nuclear family to be a full human being with a good life. these monks follow their philosophy of moderation and discipline in fellowship with their monastic fellows on purpose and by choice so they can serve the galaxy, and this is such a commendable life full of meaning and love.

the tragedy of their genocide is visible in how that force of generosity and hope for the galaxy was wiped away, for the violent enforcement of a brutal era of exploitation and greed. when luke restores the order and the jedi return, that form of joy in service and endless compassion is returned too. it's a beautiful thing that continually inspires me to live a better and more moderate and generous life.

Helloooo, to all SW fans! 👋

Sooo, I have decided to make this like a… monthly? 🤔🤔 Reblog, to search for other like minded pro Jedi individuals like myself in the SW fandom, so I can find more of my little fandom corner.

So! 😁 I humbly ask those that are Pro Jedi, and do NOT blame them for their own genocide (🤦‍♀️🤢🥶) to reblog or like this post, so I can follow more SW fandom blogs.

I also would follow fans who are Anakin critical/anti Anakin. Although I’m more of a pro Jedi fan who still has sympathy and SO much love for Anakin’s character (🥲💔❤️), while still realizing the fault lies with himself, I also enjoy reading a lot of critical analysis on his character too.

But any Anakin fans who love him to death like me and aren’t afraid to hear criticism are welcome to like this post too! ❤️

The same goes with pro Jedi/pro clone blogs. The Jedi are my ultimate favorite blorbos, but the clones are also so very dear to me, and I love to read headcanons about them. 💕

Hopefully this isn’t a weird post. Lol. 😅🫣😂 I just thought this was a good way to expand outward into more fandom territory.

Thanks! 😜💕❤️✨

there is quite genuinely not one single day where i don’t think about this and feel like i’m going to be fucking sick.

they purposely isolated Cody from not only grieving over Obi-Wan but also from other people close to Obi-Wan because they didn’t want any risk of the mission failing. i’m gonna be fucking SICK do NOT talk to me!!!!!

aquatic people in the jedi temple

considering the wide variety of species in the jedi temple, there are definitely bound to be a range of needs by each, such as aquatic people, nocturnal people, blind individuals (like the miraluka), those with other disabilities, etc. as such, there's probably accommodations for each of them.

headcanon then: there's an area of the temple that is like a massive manmade pool, or multiple pools, where the community of aquatic species lives in, having their respective sleeping quarters in pods along the "walls" of the pool, and an area in the middle for other recreational or educational purposes

the exterior of the pool has a hallway outside of water that goes around and connects to each room, and maybe each room has a window that is like a pocket that connects the area with air to the water like a tiny ship moon pool and the aquatic person can peek out their "window" to speak with the land people

the central area of the pool has spaces for eating, recreational purposes, classrooms, and meditation spaces, all of this so that those who are made for water can relax, eat, sleep, and do their day-to-day tasks and hobbies comfortably

still, not all are the same, which means the tech that they used in the mon cala episodes in sw:tcw were developed, or simply advanced, by the jedi for the sake of having land species hang out with their friends and lineage members underwater, or there are a lot of oxygen "bubbles" for them to use

this is especially great when thinking about aquatic species forgetting about their need for water, since they're technically supposed to be in water at all times, and i can imagine land species jedi hanging out with their aquatic friends, masters, or padawans above water, noticing that they're dehydrated, and then dragging them to the pools as they grab an underwater suit or mask

picture this: padawan bant eerin being super focused on her studies and not paying attention to her health needs for the moment, and obi-wan pulls her and her (waterproof) study materials into the pools to chill and study underwater

padawan nahdar and kit meditating together in the center of the pools, or practicing with their specially-made lightsabers for underwater combat

jedi knights and masters visiting aquatic younglings and playing with them in the water before they're fully adjusted to being out of water

just a space made for the respective needs of all jedi!

ugh one of the most tragic things about Order 66 and the Jedi Purge is the erasure of all that history by the Empire and by time. More than just history, it's the erasure of culture, the purposeful cleansing of the Jedi ways and people from the Galaxy. All these stories and people were lost, not to time, but by the intentional extinction of everything they ever were. In Crimson Reign #3, The Archivist (written by Charles Soule) puts it in a way that genuinely struck me when I was reading it.

You don't have to read all that, but I feel like it drives the point across wonderfully. The Jedi Order not only died because of Order 66 and the Purge, but the very idea of it was also made into a death sentence. Each Jedi's life, before the Empire, was preserved through the seemingly eternal memory of the Order, the Jedi Archives, or their lineage, and those who took their path. The Empire erased any trace of that memory, collapsing the tradition of millennia. As a Jedi, you are almost ensured to be remembered, and your actions are certain to have echoes throughout the ages. The Empire, and more specifically Palpatine I should probably say, did everything to take it away. What's left of The High Republic? What's left of the heroics of generations of Jedi? What's left of their life stories? Their meditation or lightsaber techniques? It's the tragedy of the Jedi order, and it goes so much deeper than the awful loss of about 10,000 Jedi during Order 66 and the purge (not that that should be underestimated).

[jebiknights]

Sometimes I just remember that oh right it's apparently a slightly controversial opinion that I think if Palpatine hadn't been involved at all that Anakin could've been perfectly happy and fulfilled with the Jedi.

Like just from rots we see Anakin want to follow Jedi ideals, to seek advice and even help from the very Jedi that fandom loves to act like he hates and who hate him in return, and we see the Jedi around him actually have a lot of respect for him! But every time he makes progress Palpatine is whispering in his ear and pulling out the stitches and re-opening the wounds, making it near impossible for him to actually grow as a Jedi and instead he grows closer to Falling. Not to mention the war, which was orchestrated in part to actively challenge the Jedi's morals and make them make bad and questionable choices.

Plenty of Legends canon and even current canon in things like the marvel comics show Anakin actively wrestling and considering Jedi philosophy, the pros and cons, and working through all his trauma and trying to figure out what's right for him and what the Jedi code actually means. People act like he only ever does lightsaber training and that he never picked up a book in his entire padawanship (which not only is just not how the Jedi Order works from what we see but honestly is just a boring take on the character imo).

Like, I just don't think that Anakin is actually incompatible with the Jedi Order! I think he could've thrived there if he wasn't being actively sabotaged and also had more time.

reminders for regressors! 💫

🪐 - your regression is not weird, gross, or wrong

🪐 - it’s ok if your regression isn’t “aesthetic” like you see online

🪐- you don’t need a caregiver if you don’t want or can’t find one

🪐 - it’s ok if you experience involuntary regression or if regression isn’t a good experience for you

🪐 - you don’t have to tell anyone about your regression if you don’t want to

🪐 - it’s ok if you can’t get or don’t want any agere gear

🪐 - you’re valid if you regress to an older child or teen

🪐 - it’s ok if you don’t regress often, or if you prefer being a caregiver

🪐 - you’re valid if you can regress really easily, or if it’s really difficult for you to regress

🪐 - you don’t have to “grow out” of regressing, and you will never be too old to regress 

🪐 - your regression is unique to you, and there’s no wrong way to experience it

Kallus has been sent by Rebel intelligence to stealthily infiltrate a ship he had previously been assigned to, along with another ex-imperial who had also been on the same ship.

They are currently hiding in an empty multi-bunk cabin room:

Kallus, whispering: Alright, we need to get to the galley without being heard or seen, I propose we take this hall here, then cross through this room here.

Ex-Imp: Naw man, we can go this way. *pries open a wall panel, revealing a maintenance tunnel*

Kallus: How....did you know that was there?

Ex-Imp, sheepishly: I used to go through here to avoid you and raid the conservator during sleep hours. I was pretty sure you were on to me a couple of times, but apparently not.

Kallus, exasperated, massaging his temples: You are VERY lucky this is beneficial information at present...

[intermundia]

there are a lot of ways that stover could have chosen to describe how anakin and obi-wan fly next to each other in the "perfectly mirrored rolls" of the opening of rots, but saying they "twisted and flashed past each other belly-to-belly, close enough to scorch each other's paint" is certainly.. an evocative choice.

Captain Rex! 🫡 Oh Captain my Captain 😱

Absolutely unforeseen and not planned! Today I made a next experimental step on my drawing Padawan career and I decided to share the process with you for joy and also for feedback if you want 🙏✨and to show my blissful crosshatching dopamining 🤩

I just started the build up sketch and drew a clone. Turned out Rex. I don't know why, I only drew Rex one single time before (so that previous artwork is my ALT text mission today), but during the process something in the left mouth corner-chin-part reminded me of Rex, so I followed the art force and drew Rex 😁 (freshly out of the shower maybe? Did I look too long at the yeetable Captain Rex of @astral-veil? 🙀)

I'm really not sure if I'm satisfied with the result, but I know that's a common artist's issue 🙈 I like it, because it's my art and I'm almost kind of healthy mindsetted (mindsettled?) with that, seeing that it's presentable and fine 👍

But there's always that little nasty voice in my head, whispering "You can do better" and I KNOW that this is unconsciously learned behavior out of our performance society (especially Germany 🙄 super especially Bavaria 😒 super hyper especially Lower Bavaria 🍺).

As you can see in the process, I erased the nose and some of the shapes. Now afterwards I think to myself "Was the first version the better??" 😖 But even if – something in me decided to change the lines and I should trust this feeling! It's part of my development and so *sigh* ...

I do embrace it 😌✨

Here the clear result. Is Rex harried? Or is he sheepish? Is both even possible?

And here personal ALT-Text mission (1 additional ALT-Text for a previous artwork with each new art posting!): 

As announced – my first drawing of Rex (getting a bone-crushing hug from Wrecker 🥰 )
