This Is A Test For Ruby Lol

Christmas with family

So the ctabb server had a little secret Santa and my santee was the lovely @smiling-anon and the prompt was a day with the todofam with Christmas shenanigans and Dabihawks. I tried to sprinkle in some Rei/Inko through Tododeku too since you wished for it.

So cute

Castiel: What are you looking for?

Gabriel: My will to live

Lucifer: What?

Gabriel: Oh, there it is.

the (almost) complete Bungou Stray Dogs reading list

as a dostoyevsky fan i first discovered bsd by being very confused whenever i saw pretty anime boys in the crime and punishment tag, so now i’m using bsd to discover more classic literature, and you can too!

this is my personal list straight from my phone notes app, of the most significant works mentioned in the series. italized titles are those that i really couldn’t find an english translation of but they’re there for completeness (if you’ve found one please comment!)

i’ve also got links to the french text of all works that are originally in french, because i read french and as said this list is just adapted from my personal notes hahaha

happy reading!

In this house we stan Jedi Master Indara. She was absolutely on point in this episode, she was compassionate and gentle with the girls, she was so warm and friendly with Mae when she needed it, she was firm in how they couldn't overstep if the girls' mother didn't want them to leave, how they couldn't just barge into the witches' lives, she warned everyone to be cautious and that they were overstepping their bounds, she warned Sol to not confuse his own wants with Osha's wants, her ultimate priority was Osha's wellbeing in the end, that she was willing to not tell the full truth, even if it wouldn't have gotten them in that much trouble with the Council, it would have possibly crushed Osha's dream, so she made that hard choice, she came in like a goddamned wrecking ball when Kelnacca was under the witches' influence, there must have been at least twenty of them in his head, and JEDI MASTER INDARA TOLD THEM TO GET THE FUCK OUT and she blasted them the hell out of Kelnacca's mind BY HERSELF, she was right that they needed to be more careful, because she understood how things could go bad, she was teasing Sol and laughing with him about not having a Padawan yet, clearly it was a joke and used to lighten his mood, like Master Indara the Jedi that you are, we stan.

they're having a kiki!!

Maul is the embodiment of Gen Z

Okay but hear me out: What I mean in particular is that Maul in episodes 10 and 11 of S7 is the embodiment of gen z.

- has been telling people about the impending disaster that will tear apart the world and is trying to warn them

- trying to overthrow the government

- ready to throw hands at any given opportunity (or pick them up if we remember that one scene)

- sass

- clearly not straight

- this:

(Gifs belong to @mlmanakin I think, correct me if I’m wrong please)

And of course:

- dramatic as fuck

Feel free to add to this xD

We all need this in our life

im very grateful for the lessons in photography i was taught in stop motion class because just now they made it possible to photograph the stars with my phone in spite of the camera usually not detecting the light of stars because theyre so dim,,,, enjoy these shiny motherfuckers

Okay sorry for just butting in here, but wow you two are being so incredible just bouncing off off each other? It’s so inspiring honestly! All of these ideas are so incredible! A lightsaber that communicatesike that? Anakin Bein an eldritch force entity? Those two ion particular are things that I’ve never seen before in fan fiction and it just amazes me! I hope you don’t mind me asking questions: How much time passes between Ilum and Jango and Obi-Wan meeting? Do you think that maybe Obi-Wan will eventually take on a Padawan (and maybe raise them as a Mandalorians Jedi), like after the whole Maul thing? And could it maybe be ahsoka? Also, since Dooku is around more and the other Jedi seem to be more involved in their lives could maybe someone, maybe Dooku, notice why the feck this slimy old Senator is involved so much into a minors live? And they start to investigate Palps (maybe while Obi is busy on Mandalore with Maul) for pedophilia and notice weird comm messages that can be traced to maul or Vizla maybe and OH. On a completely other note, what about the clones? Didn’t the caminoans start around the time Naboo happened? Or was that later?

Again, sorry for butting in, but I couldn’t help it.

I WAS THE ONE WHO SENT IN OBI AND HIS OWN DARKSABER AND OML YOU DELIVERED. I am in loveeeeeee and I love you for writing it so well. Like this has been on my mind as an idea for ages. I am going to cry over this now bc it’s so good and I need more😭😭

HI LOVELY I’M SO HAPPY YOU FELT COMFORTABLE TO GO OFF ANON! No joke, I get a lil smile when I see you interacting with my blog, and I’m really really happy with how your fill came out and i’m so glad you enjoyed it so much. 

I certainly have some ideas of where I could take it, including but not limited to Obi teaming up with Dooku after he’s knighted, as both the first Jedi to kill a Sith in a millennium and the second person to ever make a darksaber (he fondly refers to his as Dha), and Dooku is thereby convinced to stay with the Order. Which of course changes everything about the war, and I just love Yan Dooku for absolutely no reason, and Qui-Gon actually does pretty alright in training Anakin, but it’s a good thing he has both his brother padawan and his grandmaster to help out because BOI does Qui still have issues. Quinlan is jealous of Obi’s saber. Jango is across the galaxy getting dreams of a Jedi’s life and is p pissed they spend so much time around the man that led the attack on Galidraan, but it humanises him too.
