And If I Say Garazeb Orrelios Is A Metaphor For Being Queer What Then

Ezra's on first name basis

Food-related thoughts, courtesy of chatter with @mystical-salamander:

Parts of Coruscant, especially in the extra-dense areas, don't have any cooking implements in the apartments besides a microwave and small fridge. (Hot plates are a fire hazard.) Instead of cooking for themselves, residents visit food vendors or buy microwave meals. Prepackaged snacks that don't require refrigeration are also common.

You know those 'microwave hacks' and 'MRE hacks' and 'prison food hacks?' That's the kind of "cooking" that Kallus knows.

In contrast, Zeb learned how to cook both at home and at school, and had an abundance of fresh food to work with. Lasan's dominant government put out standardized cookbooks of healthy, easy to make meals for the home ec classes. These standard meals often vary, changed to match regional tastes, in individual schools.

The Wookies, being close allies and intellectual partners with Lasan, have these cookbooks saved as part of their Lasani Remembrance Archives. Alderaan also made a habit of trying to preserve at-risk cultures, and had copies in their own archives.

There's a big part of the holonet devoted to saving old recipes and adapting them to new circumstances--the Lasani diaspora is just one of many peoples trying to cope with being away from 'home.'

Zeb looks for Lasani recipes and subsitutions for Lasani spices, of course, but he also searches for recipes from Ryloth, Mandalore, and--the hardest to find--the Jedi Temple. When a Spectre is feeling particularly down, Zeb will make them something from their home to cheer them up.

also fuck it, i got laid off, im claiming the kalluzeb easter egg in veilguard as mine

i drew the art, and the wonderful and dearly missed susan hyx I added as the author

YES

Big fan of Kallus-- especially post-defection Kallus whos working on dropping the whole imp apathy thing-- secretly caring so deeply and strongly about everything, he just doesnt quite know how to show it 😫😫

Actually, I think Kallus' rebellion might've been sparked not just by the want to be cared for, but also the want to care for someone. Zeb showed him that caring can be a conscious choice when he showed him care despite their history. In the pilot we see Kallus breaking character for a moment with Ezra, acting as if he almost wants to comfort the child, but instead he dusts off Ezra's shoulder. It's a small moment, but I think it implies that Kallus deep down always cared, he has just mastered the apathetic imperial act so well that he's even fooling himself

they dont want us to know this but the real cure to the agonies is to engage in shenanigans. tomfoolery even 

I love when the whumpee has to reinvent themself. No, you will never be the past you again, they are permanently changed by the trauma, but that does not mean death. You just have to find you again. The people who care about you might mourn, you might as well, but getting to know each other again can be quite interesting.

When ur mutuals w/ some cool ass people rb if u agree

College is so evil like fym I have to prioritize homework over my hobbies

(I'm in an art slump and I am very mad about it)

it’s unfortunate that (some) people in fandom spaces are starting to get too comfortable complaining and being rude to writers and artists who create contents they personally don’t like (“why are you making this character a top when he’s obviously a bottom? omg do you even understand his character?” “I’m so sick of seeing fan art and fanfic where this character is portrayed as a sadist when he’s actually misunderstood in my opinions, therefore anyone who disagrees with me is wrong and should be shamed” just to name a few I’ve seen) instead of curating their own fandom experiences by engaging only with contents they do like.

you want more fics where (x) is written in this specific way? either write one yourself or politely expressing your opinion about how you hope there will be more fics where (x) is written in this specific way instead of making fandom a toxic place by being rude to writers and artists who dare make contents that are not to your Personal Liking.

if the universe does not revolve around you, strangers and fandom spaces don’t have to cater exclusively to your personal preferences either.

to all my beloved writers and artists, write whatever you want, draw whatever you want. portray that character in whichever way you want to portray. I hope you have fun doing what you love. don’t let anybody tell you what you can or can’t do with the blorbo. go wild. I will always support you
