I’ve Had This Meme On My Tumblr Page For Years. Literally, Years.  Recently, I Noticed That They

I need everyone to know that the ship Götheborg, the world's largest ocean-going wooden sailing ship, answered a distress call the other day.

Imagine waiting for the coast guard or whatever to show up and instead a replica of 18th century merchant ship pulls up and tows you to the coast.

Okay imagine That's for whatever reason Din can't go pick up Grogu one time so he sends Boba no big deal That's his husband He calls Luke ahead of time and tells him that his husband's going to pick up Grogu.

And everything is completely normal until the second Boba Fett steps out of the ship wearing his armor and Luke is like "how are you not dead?!"

Boba Fett post Sarlacc with Chronic pain.

Boba Fett post sarlacc choosing to take fights and missions knowing that he’ll be pushing it too far and in awful pain for days afterwards but being stubborn and deciding it’s worth it.

Or at the very least being so stubborn that he refuses to stop doing the things he’d been able to do before the Sarlacc when the pain wasn’t a constant.

Boba Fett sitting on his throne bouncing his legs because it reduces the pain just a little.

Boba Fett dropping things due to a flair of pain in his shoulders/elbows/wrists.

Boba being grumpy because the pain made sleeping an issue and his court learning which days were better ones to bring up issues based on it.

Fennec throwing painkillers at him because he’s being irritable and because she doesn’t want to see her friend hurting, especially if he’s just being too stubborn to take them.

Boba Fett having chronic pain but managing and living his life because it doesn’t mean he can’t be a badass and a king, even if there are new limits he has to adapt to.

Just Boba Fett having repercussions from the Sarlacc beyond the scars but them not stopping him.

Consider: crabs.... but with paws

dont touch

in-universe (watsonian) explanations and meta are useless if the irl (doylist) reasons are rooted in racism, antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, classism, ableism, misogyny, or any other type of bigotry and i will die on this hill

The winner of last weeks drabble event has given us permission to post their drabble!

Last weeks prompt was: "I was there when [...]."

The winner is on Ao3 as MikadoPlatypus, so if you like the drabble and want to read more from them, go check them out!

Over the years the story has become myth, twisted and condensed, first whispered, then openly told, then joked about on liquor-stained breath. 

Reputation only lasts so long, after all. 

Once, no one would have dared to tell it to him, first out of sympathy, then out of fear he likes to think of as respect. 

Now, all of that is gone. 

The names have slipped from the story, and with it, any reprieve for him. 

'I was there!' he wants to snap. 'I was there when my father slipped, when a single mistake brought decades down onto him, when he bled out in my arms.' 

But he doesn't. 

His name isn't connected to the story anymore. 

Free. Unbound. 

He doesn't want to shackle it down again. 

So he drains his drink and swallows the bile in his throat down with it. 

He can't bring himself to laugh. 

The greatest of his generation. Felled by dumb luck. Guess even the best of you bleed when they're cut.

The grin has too many teeth, shark-like, predatory, and it's meant to be a threat, he knows.

Frankly, the blade twirling in grubby fingers is overkill. 

He's not stupid. 

He's just not scared.

FYI:

For the purpose of avoiding any fandom bias in the vote for the winner, all names that would give away the fandom have to be avoided or replaced with single letters (example: Chara A, Chara B), so all weekly drabbles are more or less fandom blind.

Redraw of the Halloween Lego short story :)c sorry for being gone for so long I hit an artblock but I'm back >:D

This! I started writing fanfic and it's the best thing I've done for my mental health in years.

Hot take everyone needs at least one creative hobby to accompany their consumptive ones. I don’t mean just art and writing I mean literally anything where you create something. Embroidery, cooking, knitting, gardening, wood whittling, trap making, needle felting, instrument playing, bug raising, fandom analysis writing, ANYTHING where you do work and can hold the fruits of your labor in you hands. Anything where you MAKE something else.

Something that isn’t a career choice. Something you don’t have to be good at. As long as it brings you joy.

Please get hobbies, they enrich your life.

I'm such a sucker for the "character A always has trouble sleeping but if character B holds them, they fall asleep instantly and sleep through the whole night" trope

Ugh, it's just so good
