Bi Pride. And Problems

Endou and his world(s)

Just some random idea that was asking me to draw itself very hard… the caption for it in my folder was simply “gay” gjdg 

Force Translator Cody au

Hes still as force sensitive as a brick but hes been around so many jedi, Specifically Obi-wan "i have a bad feeling" Kenobi that he just, figures out what the Force is tryin to say with his cool collected strategic slut mind on his own

In short, Cody voice: the Force works in misterious ways to YOU, i get it tho

now here i am, thinking about the force talking to cody's cool collected strategic slut mind like it's the australien sea turtle in finding nemo

cody's not force-sensitive. like NOT AT ALL, not even one (1) midichlorian per million. zip nada nothing

he just meditates with obi-wan on a regular basis and ends up absorbing some force radiation that basically makes him a radio station that can tune into the force's daily commentary

it all starts on a mission where cody and obi-wan enter a really creepy cave and it's just really creepy and dark and suddenly there's this off-voice telling cody that the vibes are rancid

obi-wan then proceeds to say that the vibes feel rancid

and cody just looks at obi-wan like ??? uhm hello what the fuck and obi-wan doesn't have a single idea why his commander suddenly looks like a confused pineapple

meanwhile the force is going feral because this funky little commander apparently has the right receiving frequency to hear its ramblings while all the jedi in fact do NOT

everyone only feels the force. no one ever talks to the force. the force is bored. so of course it doesn't intend to leave cody alone e v e r

obi-wan, to cody, smiling: remember, the force will be with you. always

cody, who already listened to the force rambling about the tragedy of darth plagueis the wise for the past two hours, eye twitching:

anakin looks all mysterious and knowing while saying that there's a disturbance in the force and cody just stands right next to him, hearing the high-pitched fire siren-like screaming of the force in the background while trying to look like his eardrum didn't just get perforated

whenever cody notices that obi-wan and the other jedi aren't sleeping well because of some weird force shit, cody asks the force to keep it down for a while so that they can at least rest for a couple of hours. obi-wan is confused about the amount of sleep he gets all of the sudden

anakin wakes up and says he just had a vision. cody asks the force if anakin, in fact, just had a vision. the force says no

ahsoka, after something very weird happened: the force works in mysterious ways

the force, to cody, very disturbed: that wasn't me

everyone basically talks about the force as this ancient powerful energy field in a very earnest and serious way while cody passes the senate building and hears the force calling palpatine a nasty little apricot

i don’t know if it’s just my dash today, but i’m seeing a lot of people who are thinking about writing or who WANT to write but are nervous about how good it will turn out and/or its reception by the fandom and i know i’m not as active on here as i used to be, but i just wanted to tell everyone this simple fact:

I have never regretted any stories I have ever written down.

I mean obviously you don’t regret the fics that do well, that people like, but please believe me when I say that I can go back and get the same sense of joy, of satisfaction, of damn fandom should have appreciated this more for fics that only ever got 150 notes. I certainly do not regret writing them.

I wrote a novel a few years ago that took months of my life, only for me to re-read it at the end and think “you know, this isn’t actually that good.” but never for a second do I regret having written it. (And really, I should go back and give it another try at some point, I was probably being too hard on myself).

I do not regret the MULTITUDES of fics that are sitting in my google drive, abandoned because I decided they weren’t quite good enough to post or because I lost steam halfway through. I still do not regret them. I like re-reading them periodically.

I do not regret the fics I wrote when I was like 14 or 15 (for context, im 30 now). Looking back, I can no longer say they are my best work, but I can see the seeds of the writer I would become. And, though the form and style are simplistic (compared to what I can do now), the story is still exactly what I wanted it to be. 

I recently cleaned out my childhood bedroom and found notebooks and notebooks filled with fantasy stories I wrote when I was in middle school. And, you know what, I sat and skimmed through them and in reading some of them, memories of what was going to happen came back and god, they were terrible, so bad, so many spelling errors, the most flat, stereotypical characters, but I do not regret them. I am slightly embarrassed by them, I would not let others read them, but I sat there reading with a smile on my face because I wrote them down and they are my stories. 

All this to say, honestly, you will not regret writing your stories.

But you know what I do regret? I regret all the stories I never wrote down. I regret that feeling when I know I had an idea and I daydreamed it for months and I just never bothered to write it down. I regret a half-finished WIP where I know I knew the ending but just didn’t get to it. I regret, now, looking back at this past year and know that I fell off writing a little bit. I regret not writing more. Because I love writing. And more importantly, I freaking love reading what I wrote. 

I love when all the characters act exactly as you want them to act and the story goes where you want it to go and I love when you’ve actually forgotten a line or a scene and you go back and you’re like “DAMN THATS GOOD” and even if it’s not good, if it’s the story you wrote when you were 7 about three dogs named Freddie, Teddie, and Eddie who fought a villain whose name was LITERALLY Mr. Mean, you will still love it. 

So, please, PLEASE: Write your story.

I promise you will not regret it.

IS HONDO IN YOU SQUAD AU??! There would be even more chaos!

i haven't gotten that fair yet for the full story but he definitely has his appearances.

ahsoka & maul have known him before, barriss only knows about him in talks and ventress has no fucking clue about him - she's not impressed.

when he see's ahsoka he's so surprised "your alive! thank goodness!" and even hug her, ahsoka is too much in shock to see him still alive in the empire era.

"we haven't seen each other in so long! tell me, when was our last meeting?"

"when you tired to sell me dead or alive,"

cue maul drawing his saber at the pirate, barriss in shock and ventress just glares, but both kill him if need be.

he casually flirts with the girls with ticks them off, and when he moves onto ahsoka maul GROWLS and he backs away awkwardly and moves on.

they talk things out (they still don't trust him but get along in some ways) and he exchanges them information without any kind of payment (thanks to maul's & ventress's threats).

i have thought of a scene where it's just ahsoka & hondo, sitting alone after an attack by darth vader - it's silent and ahsoka says, in such a quiet and tired voice, that it's anakin. hondo is shocked but leans back heavily in his seat " oh no...that poor boy..." and ahsoka just tears up, and for a rare moment, hondo is genuinely comforting her (a hug, rubs on her back and quiet "sssh"s). it's heartbreaking cause yay angst!

also: rex does NOT get along with hondo at all - doesn't like him and would rather keep far away from hondo as possible.

I recently came out to my mother's side of the family who are majority conservative christians and it went much better than I expected. Like, they were weirdly supportive. I only got one comment insinuating that I might possibly be going to hell but it came from my aunt and she's dying soon anyway so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Anyway, I'm telling them how shocked I am and that I honestly thought that they'd have more of a problem with it when my grandma is like "Well you know we've been through this before with your uncle Nicky" and I'm like "what" and so it turns out that my uncle Nick was born a Natalie, came out as a boy at 19, and my great grandma proceeded to pay for his top surgery and hormone therapy. In 1974. And I just had to process for a bit because my entire life no one has referred to him as anything other than he/him and his chosen name. I ask why no one ever thought to mention this and they're just like "tbh we forgot. It's been so long that he's been a man" This man is married. He has a wife and three kids. I ask my relatives how they went about having kids, whether through adoption or sperm donor or what and none of them know. Apparently he just told everyone that they were gonna be parents and then one day showed up at my grandma's house with a baby. No questions were asked. Just. He and his wife had a baby now and that was that. Three times. Weeks later when I finally talk to my aunt Sarah (Nick's wife) all she tells me is that neither of them have ever been pregnant and, I quote, "sometimes you just come into children". She phrased it like people use the phrase "come into money". Like children are something that just happens to you. I ask my relatives if any of them had a problem with Nick being trans at the time, saying I'd understand if they had negative feelings about it, as it was the 1970s after all. They were like "nope" and i was just like "you didn't think anything of it?" And my grandfather was like "these things happen" while the other adults nodded sagely. So I guess the moral here is that if my conservative christian relatives could accept my uncle as trans in the 1970s then there really isn't any excuse for anyone. And also my family needs to ask more questions because I'm fairly sure my aunt and uncle stole their kids.

I'm laughing my ass off at that last sentence- But I'm so glad your coming out went well! That's one heck of a way to find out you have LGBT relatives.

XD

CAPTAIN COLD LIVES DAY 10 COUNTDOWN TO MAY 16: 8 DAYS

Our first look at Captain Cold from the Flash Sizzle Reel! I love him so much, and I’m super interested in how they’re bringing him back and what it means for his character. 

Thank you!

I, please?

I: Do you have a guilty pleasure in fic (reading or writing)?

Oh boy definitely for both. AU crossovers are one of my biggest guilty pleasure both in reading and writing (as if having written a nora.gami AU and bn.ha AU wasn’t enough proof. and I’m still writing that bn.a AU and pok.emon ranger. and I was planning a twe.wy one-)

and just about anything angsty with a happy ending is my biggest guilty pleasure, I’m pretty much guaranteed to read that stuff whenever I find it.

Some tropes like coffee shop and rivals to lovers make me weak too- and fantasy/monster stuff
