Honestly what made me love Mace Windu was the Zillo Beast arc, because he had so much compassion for it! Like Jedi in general and space animals is a favorite.

I know!!! It was just so sweet seeing him like that, and the Jedi interacting with space animals is definitely a favorite of mine too! It never fails to make me feel all warm and happy inside!

In a better universe, Mace gets to adopt like 20 loth cats and they follow him around the Temple like a bunch of ducklings.

…and now I’m imagining him sitting in the Council room, all of the cats on his lap or crawling on him, one of them in his arms, just like-

Mace: Just so you know, you’ve disappointed all of us.

Qui-Gon: Now that’s just cruel.

Obi-Wan: *happily playing with some of the loth cats on the floor*

hello beanz, hope you're doing well! do you have any useless worldbuilding headcanons or jodt facts which are utterly useless or very mildly useful to the plot?

Hello lovely💗 I'm doing well, and I hope the same for you!

And gah! This is such a good ask! Definitely a thinker, too 🤭

The Useful Headcanons:

• The Wizarding World is called the Wixen World because fuck the patriarchy. (And yes, I realise both "wizard" and "witch" can be perceived as gender neutral, but typically, wizards are male, and witches are female (ugh👎))

• There are more magical schools than just eLEvEn, because as a wise man once said:

Take it from Hermione and Draco in GS,ch4:

“There’s around fifty in all of Europe,” Hermione began.

“Another fifty in Asia,” Draco carried on.

“Several in the Americas.”

“A handful of smaller schools scattered across the Pacific Islands.”

“And near a hundred in Africa.”

• Generally, wix are not homophobic, transphobic, or racist. Their prejudice problems revolve around blood and magical creatures.

Historically speaking, the Victorian era really fucked up Muggle society. And, yes, there was homophobic/racist ideology pre-Victorian era (1600s - 1700s), but by then, the magic and muggle world was already at odds with each other (Statute of Secrecy was eatablished in 1692) -- why would purebloods concern themselves with such trivial Muggle bigotry?

• Which leads me to my next worldbuilding point; Paganism. Traditional witchcraft and its influences on both the Wixen and Muggle worlds. Pureblood families are known to celebrate the Wheel of the Year -- equinoxes and solstices etc... Paganism existed before the statute and still exists into the Muggle world of course, which is how Muggles have wicca and the craft. Why Wiccan Muggles gather at Stone Henge for the summer solstice and all sorts. It just makes sense 🤌✨️

• Wolfstar. That's it. That's the whole bullet point. Just. Wolfstar.

• In Pureblood society, there is an unspoken hierarchy. The Malfoys' circle consisted of the Goyles, the Crabbes, and the Notts (and other notable Death Eater names), as well as the Parkinsons, the Greengrasses, and many other blood purist sympathisers.

Draco grew up with Greg, Vince, Pansy, Daphne, and Theo. The coming war will surely test the strength of childhood bonds...

• The divide between Draco and his father means Draco is becoming his own person as opposed to following in his father's footsteps. Draco finds himself striving to be a little more like his mother, and a lot more like himself.

The fire of rebellion flourishes inside him, but how far can he go before the flames grow out of his control?

The Not So Useful & Sort of Silly Headcanons:

• Crabbe and Goyle are not as thick as some people (*cough* Harry *cough*) perceive. Vince is a Transfiguration whizz-kid & Greg enjoys art.

• Pansy Parkinson falls in love very easily, but also very quickly moves onto her next meal -- ah, her next fixation.

• Mad-Eye Moody enjoyed a very relaxed year of his retirement from 1994 to 1995, with absolutely no home intrusions or attacks from dark wix.

• Lucius Malfoy has an unhealthy obsession with white peacocks. Especially his prized darling, Bartholomew Armand Malfoy the Third.

• Dobby has a cupboard specifically for storing all of his socks at Hogwarts.

• Professor Burbage had a groovy flower-power phase in the 70s.

• Harry sometimes finds himself talking to Draco's embroidered portrait on the Black family tapestry at Grimmauld Place.

• Erik, Nikolaj, and Katrina embark on a journey across America after graduating from Durmstrang. In their travels, they may discover many things...

I'm sure there's more! But here's what I can think of off the top of my head! 🥰💕

[aerequets]

2) AUGHHHH DONT CALL ME OUT okay call me out 😔 I like what I like

Of course you need to be cucked, sweetie. There are only two types of girls and I don't think there could be any doubt about which one you belong to:

Women. Real women. Dominant. Assertive. Full of self-esteem. The kind of girls men -and other women- turn back to gaze at. The girls you'd probably envy back in High School. Maybe even your own bullies. Sexy, confident women that just loooove bossing around tots like you.

Toddlers. Cute little infants who don't know better. Pissy, messy, smelly babies who can't process any emotion and throw a loud tantrum every time they don't get their own way. Blushy little things who can't keep their panties dry and whose only purpose is to entertain real Women. Stupid toddlers who are not sexy. Just cute.

Do you really think your Daddy would doubt for a moment who to do the grown-up stuffs with? Do you even know what those things are? Wouldn't you actually prefer to be sound asleep in your crib, sucking on your pacifier, not even wondering about the thrusts you can hear coming from Daddy's bedroom? I think so.

i get sooo blushy every time i read this 🫣

Daddy tells me all the time he needs big girls to talk to and be with because i’m such a little baby but i jus wanna stay up and find out what Daddy is up to and why i have to go to bed so early when his big girl friends are over!!! and what they think is so funny when they look at me!!

i do know what grown-up stuffs is!!! 😝 i guess im not THAT much of a a baby huh? and Daddy gives me my paci even if i am having grown up stuffs because im so good 🥰

Would Neji be considered a sad beige mom 🤔

dfkjghdghsdljfghsdjfghsdfgsd

This is one of the funniest questions I've ever received and it's making me question everything.

I mean... Kind of 😭 Here's how I imagine his home:

Which I feel like... yes, he's a bit of a sad beige mum. He would make the pillows blue or green though, I think. He's okay with pops of nice muted colours lol.

This kind of colour palette:

His home is a bit more traditional, and he's not a professional interior designer, so it's not as swanky as the rooms above, but that's what he aims for.

He's also more than happy to hang up colourful children's drawings, and boxes of toys (plastic toys are banned, toys that make noise are especially banned, but colour is more than allowed.)

But yeah... I won't deny that he has sad beige mum energy haha!

Fuck I Can't Write Crisis Pack:

@phoebe-delia asked in response to this fun lil ask game:

Do you have any advice for getting out of a slump/getting writing confidence back? . (for the ask anything) Do you have any advice for getting out of a slump/getting writing confidence back?

Now THIS. This is a good question, and something that is very much on my mind and has been for a while, as I am currently absolutely in the midst of this and trying to army crawl my way out. I don't have any magic bullets (is that the saying? idk) but I have been here before and i do have a small arsenal of tips or methods that I find can help me. 

Here is my Fuck I Can't Write Crisis Pack (In no particular order):

Write anything 

This is hardly groundbreaking advice, and it's also the hardest thing to actually do (imo) so do not beat yourself up if it takes a while to get to this. Basically, write ANYTHING―it can be aimless, it can be pointless, it can be crap (crap is subjective!! don't let the brain gremlins win!!). 

Don't think about posting it, don't worry about anyone else ever reading it, just fling a few words onto a page and feel the rusty faucet turn on, proving to yourself that it still works. 

Try and sus out what it is that's blocking you 

Again this one is hard and annoying but functional. Once you can put your finger on the particular reason you're staring at a flashing black line on a blank page it can help you kick that reason off your lawn and into the bin. 

And then, take it out of the bin and be kind to yourself about whatever that reason is. Maybe you feel shit because you're comparing yourself to others, your last fic felt like a lead balloon, you can't muster enthusiasm for what you once loved doing and fear that it's gone forever, you're projecting in a Tumblr post―whatever it is, it's something all the writers you admire and aspire to be like have felt, and been annoyed with themselves for, and so you can wrap it up in a blanket and put it on a shelf and be kind to it so it, (respectfully) shuts the fuck up. 

(and remember, everyone feels insecure about their stuff. Like literally everyone, at some stage, feels like their stuff is rubbish)

Cheat on your OTP 

Okay this one might not work for everyone, but it really does for me lol. Ruts (not the sexy kind) can often come with not wanting to engage in my usual ships, being annoyed by my lack of ability to fucking write them/anything/all my ideas taste like cardboard/bleh, and stepping out on them and reading something new can snap me out of it. Just, an injection of new ideas or scenarios or words or even just a little reprieve from being fed up with myself, which ideally, is why we're all here anyway. 

(And then I come crawling back, and am welcomed with open arms haha)

In a similar vein:

Engage in media 

This subtitle is genuinely terrible, i am sorry, LMAO, but essentially: find a piece of media that makes you go "oh, helLO sailor", unhinge your jaw like a snake, and consume it whole. 

Let it nourish you, inspire you, excite you, making you feel SOMETHING, and then take that and think "fuck, what if i wrote bleepbloopblarp" and even if you write nary a single word, you've thought about it and that fucking counts. 

It might be an album, a book, a song, a show, gifs of a hot person, the wikipedia summary of a movie, literally anything counts here if it makes you feel a twinge of creativity. 

Ask yourself, what would Astolat do? 

No for real. @candybarrnerd and I genuinely use this haha.  

Worried your idea is stupid? Astolat would say write it. 

Worried it's too weird? Nah, just write it. 

It's dumb and no one will read it? Just write it for you *waggles eyebrows* (and then find out that yeah, nah, someone else will absolutely read this and be real fucking happy about it haha.)

Worried you're a one trick pony and have already written this fic before, like, and not even once before, and also you're projecting again in Tumblr post? WRITE IT AGAIN! As Astolat once said, "it's a fic so nice, I wrote it thrice". 

It's good advice. 

Make a friend or lean hard on the ones you have here

Misery loves company because it knows they'll come out of this together :). I know, I know, that's fucking NAFF, but fandom is all about finding like-minded freaks and blowing up their DMs because you saw a gif and now feel a kind of ways about it. 

And lastly: 

FUCK STATS! 

I mean I love stats (yay validation!), but god can they make you feel like a worthless shit (hey where did my validation go :((( ). It can be really insidious, so piss that right off when it starts to fuck with your confidence or outlook on your own writing.

Hopefully there is something useful here, even if it's just looking at this advice and thinking "no that's shit, it's writing POISON" cos then you can maybe do the version you think is NOT shit, and that might work. 

Good luck, fellow travelers!!

[allastoredeer]

Maybe it's just me, but I honestly don't have a difficult time seeing Alastor as Persephone. I'm not sure I can explain it very eloquently. I had that common phase of being incredibly obsessed with Greek and Roman mythology though I haven't really looked at it in a good while. Some of it is purely aesthetic - Alastor being a seemingly delicate deer demon fits Persephone's role as a spring deity, while his everything else fits her association with the underworld - but I also think the reason it works for me is because of something Vivzie said about how Alastor is the type of person to have both a townhouse in the city and a hunting lodge out in the wilderness and felt equally at home in both settings. And something else I think I read in a book or learned in my Latin class about how in a much less technologically advanced world, forests and nature appeared much more sinister, even monstrous to humans, and nature-associated deities tended to reflect this. Including seemingly gentle gods like Persephone.

Congratulations, Anon, you just made me love Peresphone!Alastor even more and I didn't even think that was possible. I was already on board, why are trying to coax me in further.

I can totally see Alastor being comfortable with both a city and the wilderness. Him owning a hunting lodge makes so much sense to me. I've never pictured him as being strictly a city boy (Vox, on the other hand).

Also, nature and forests appearing more sinister and monstrous to humans 👁️👁️ nature associated deities, even the "softer" ones, reflecting that. Look, Persephone!Alastor already made so much sense to me, but you're making it make even more sense.

Also this "Some of it is purely aesthetic - Alastor being a seemingly delicate deer demon fits Persephone's role as a spring deity, while his everything else fits her association with the underworld" is exactly it too. Alastor having the form of a deer, which are often depicted or seen as delicate and soft, as the god of spring, which is all about growth, new beginnings and rebirth, while still having his dark, murderous, and aggressive side. I love it. I love it so much.

Directors cut: thoughts on Sky and Legend? Especially as chronic illness buddies like in Resting Together.

Hello fellow chronic illness Sky truther!!!! I’ve been thinking about this all day and all night. I love them your honor

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Sky and Legend as chronic illness buddies. For one I just think they would get along very well, and for two they are so easy to project chronic illness into hehe. Sorry blorbos but actually I’m not 😂

One big thing I enjoy exploring with Sky and Legend is the differences in how obvious their disabilities are to other people. With Legend, he’s naturally a more vocal person, so he would talk about them more I think. I also usually imagine him having mobility aids like braces or compression garments or a cane, etc. So, all that to say I usually write him so that it’s very clear to others he’s disabled. 

With Sky, his are more invisible. Or at least he plays it down well. For example, everyone knows he’s sleepy. When people make lighthearted jokes about it, Sky just smiles and goes along with it instead of saying something like yeah I’m always horribly fatigued from my chronic illness 🥲.

I also think there would be a difference in how disability and chronic illness are handled between Sky’s and Legend’s era. Legend is so far into the future and his civilization is more advanced, so he would be much more likely to actually have terms and words and diagnoses to describe his experiences. That makes it so so so much easier to understand his body and his experiences, describe them to others, and ask for and use accommodations.

Sky has a tendency to downplay and ignore his symptoms until it sends him into a flare up and he can’t ignore them anymore. Part of it is who he is and the trauma issues from not being fast enough, but also part of it is some internalized ableism telling him his symptoms aren’t as bad because they don’t present exactly like Legend’s. THAT IS NOT TRUE!!!!! DO NOT BE LIKE SKY!!!!! Everyone’s symptoms are different and you should never downplay your problems because you believe someone else has it worse.

All of this is something very important to me personally, and I think it resonates well with any others out there with undiagnosed issues and invisible disabilities.

So yeah. Those are my thoughts. They’re very important to me 💞💞💞💞💞

Now, I am pleased to present you with: Racer James, The Masterpost!

elain is stressed meeting the BOA for the first time. what house warming gift does she give them and how do they react?

She had bitten her fingernails down to the quick and her cuticles were stained with blood where she had gnawed them off. She hadn’t slept in days since her stomach was too knotted to settle down.

Three pairs of eyes looked down at the crate of jams, fruits, and minced meats she had canned herself brought up from Velaris with her. Elain knew that the old manor house was stylishly decorated in the more modern styles she had missed. And anyway, she couldn’t very well afford a new rug or chaise. Perhaps if she asked Feyre-but she didn’t want to rely on her sister for anything else.

“I thought I’d add these to your pantry,” Elain said awkwardly as she watched Vassa pick up a jar of apples and examine it tentatively. “Since I barged into your home.”

“You’re not barging,” Lucien replied softly, though Elain still couldn’t shake the guilt that she felt.

“What is this?” Jurian interrupted as he popped open the steel lid on a can of peaches.

“Peaches,” Elain answered, “they grow in the Southern parts of the continent on trees. They’re sweet, I like to make pies and tarts with them.”

Jurian clawed his way into the jam, slurping on an orange wedge of fruit, “It’s quite nice,” he said as juice spewed from his lips.

“Oh, you utter animal, that is disgusting!” Vassa shrilled as she swatted him. “I wanted some!”

“Here,” Jurian scooped out another wedge and presented it to the queen with dripping fingers.

“If you think I’m going to eat that after your grubby fingers have touched it,” Vassa snarled. Jurian just shrugged, gobbling the piece down.

“Thank you, Elain,” Lucien’s voice snapped Elain out of her trance. “We will be well fed for days.” A dimple popped on his cheek as he smiled.

“I’m more afraid you’ll eat it all before the day is up,” Elain replied as Vassa, having grabbed a spoon, began to eat some strawberries, while Jurian had moved onto the pickles.

“Well then, my lady, I suppose you’ll have to show us how to cook it.”

Elain smiled as the tension eased from her chest, “I’d like that very much.”
