Yay! I'm glad you finally saw this!

I was worried that you didn't like it so I just accepted the L. I'm glad you did though! 🫶🫶🫶

I saw you reblogged an ask game so I wanted to send you stuff!

First, a compliment: you're very mutt coded to me. Like, a street dog that people think is dangerous but really you're just chillin. Or in human terms, Curt Wild coded. You're the type of person I would've invited to go adventuring in the woods with me as a teen. I hope I made sense 😅

HELLO WAIT IM JUST SEEING THIS

Dude i do not think you realize how much this fucking means to me oh my God this is exactly like,, how i feel n wanna be perceived holy shit

AAAA CURT WILDE CODED im giggling omg 🤭🤭🤭🤭

I've had some time to think about it and I'm feeling better!

I reminded myself that I'm the odd one out here. Of course people think I look weird! Just because I love Star Wars and Jedi doesn't mean everyone else feels the same and know what's going on. I'm in the real world not online. The unfortunate truth is that adults who dress up in costumes will always be seen as weirdos/immature/losers etc etc. I signed up for that when I decided to step outside wearing something unconventional. It sucks that I had some negative reactions. But you know what? I've started to have some positive ones too!

A little kid recognized my costume!

I got to take a picture with a coworker who dressed up today for her first time (up till now, I've been the only person in the whole store who's been dressing up) even though she's been scared to do it all week!

An elderly person exclaimed, "WOW, I love your outfit!" When I walked past them and said they wish more people were like me where they're from!

It's been a learning experience and I'm thankful for the reality check. I don't have to play by society's rules, but doing so is gonna make me an outsider. I gotta be okay with that 🤷

Thanks again for y'all's kind words! I love you guys 🫶

I really appreciate you guys. I wore my Jedi costume to work... let's just say my coworkers weren't as supportive as y'all...

I'm genuinely bummed out. I know my costumes aren't good. I don't get them special made or anything. I just use what's in my closet or from the thrift store. This is my third costume this week and I'm starting to realize I was probably being made fun of the entire time.

I know I'm not attractive. I can't help it. I wish I looked good like everyone else. I just like dressing up cuz it's fun. It's silly and makes me happy.

I'll still do Stranger Things tomorrow since it's supposed to be a group costume (even though I'm thinking I'm gonna be left hanging) and after that, I'm not sure...

I'm glad I have y'all. When I start getting down, I think about how y'all were nice to me 💜

BEHOLD my Jedi costume!

At my job, we're allowed to wear Halloween costumes throughout the month of October!

It'd be a shame if I didn't dress up as at least ONE Ewan McGregor character.

Obi-Wan is probably the only genuine costumey character, but in the very likely event that I can't find the materials to do his outfit, I need a backup.

Can you guys help me brainstorm costumes to put together?

You did great on her design! So beautiful!

I'm glad I didn't annoy you with all my prompts 😅 I wanted to give you options to choose from. Plus, I just enjoy thinking up prompts lol.

Thank you for doing another one 🥰

(Barriss absolutely deserved better 😔)

Hey, this one's also for @loycspotting , thanks for sending so much prompts !! 🥰

The prompt was : Barriss Offee sitting in class and looking out the window

My girl Barriss, you didn't deserve the story they wrote for you 😔

Btw I loved drawing her design !

I finally did it...I want to die.

I'm sorry. Y'all didn't follow for all this sad stuff. I don't have people offline to share my vulnerable self with so easily. I've tried and tried to push through and figure things out by myself. I just feel like an absolute wreck of a person. I'm not even a person. I have something I must do that I've been putting off, and of course, it must be done alone. I'm very scared and angry and crying as I type this. I can only hope against hope against hope against HOPE that I will finally receive peace when it is done. That I can move on and be normal and happy and a real person again. The kind of person you'll like. I've let my family down. I've let myself down. And I feel like I've let you down. Things will be different. They'll be better. I have to believe it.

Everyone's songs that were requested got played yesterday!

Song Requests!

So, last week my job started something called "Request Friday" where employees could write in song requests that would then be played on the store speaker. It was a hit! Everyone had a lot of fun and it boosted team morale!

Well, I thought it'd be fun to take song requests from you guys and write them in at work tomorrow in your honor! 😁

THE RULES:

The songs MUST be clean! Meaning no vulgarity or explicit sexual/violent lyrics. This includes even "tame" curse words like damn/hell. It is a workplace environment after all and they're very strict about what customers may hear.

Not a rule but a preference: high tempo songs are preferred because of the fast-paced nature of the job. Slow songs, in turn, tend to slow us down 🤷

That's pretty much it!

Also, songs in Spanish are VERY WELCOME!

Leave your request in the comments or tags and I'll submit what I can tomorrow. Let's see how it goes!

If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask! 🫶

Just wanted to say that you're super cool and I hope you're having a good weekend!

Oh wow, thank you so much! You're so kind! I hope life is treating you kindly 🫶

Yay! This is so cute! I wasn't sure if everyone's prompts would get drawn or how you wanted to do it, so I'm absolutely stoked that you drew this! 😁

Mace deserves way more love in the fandom! Thank you for drawing my prompt! 🫶

This one's for @loycspotting ☄️

The prompt was : Mace Windu holding two younglings! One in each arm

I'm soo slow with these prompts I'm sorry, but now I'm back at my place and should be able to draw more regularly !

I'm the DJ at work today!

Padawan braids should be far more decorated I don't care

I want them to have beads and bows and jewels and rings and bells and-

Just wanna say I love you. Thank you for your companionship and community.

Vent Post

I'm very obsessed with my body. Unfortunately, not in the self-love way but the self-hate way.

Ewan McGregor, my favorite actor, is also my biggest trigger when it comes to micro analyzing my body. This sucks turds. Like, I'm afraid the solution is to just stop looking at Ewan, stop watching his movies, just act like he doesn't exist.

I'd rather be trampled to death by a herd of horses.

He makes me happy and I love being part of his fan base! Why in the world would I give that up?

But I don't want to constantly compare my body to someone else's either. I don't know what to do, honestly. I feel like I'm at a pivotal moment where I'm still clear-minded enough to recognize that I'm going down an unhealthy road. Which means that I can still change course before I'm consumed with dysregulated thinking. I just don't know what that looks like.

The Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage (EMSP) List

I thought it'd be helpful to make a list for the movies that I've reviewed so far. I will update it as new reviews are posted. Unfortunately, I'm not yet able to add links to direct you to the full review. The letters EMSP stand for " Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage" which is how long he spends on screen in a given movie. It is ordered from his highest screentime percentage to lowest. I hope this helps those looking for a new Ewan movie to watch!

1 Rogue Trader (1999): 69% (65 / 1 hr. 34 min.)

2. Nora (2000): 56% (60 / 1 hr. 47 min.)

12. Blue Juice (1995): 22% (22 / 1 hr. 39 min)

13. The Pillow Book (1996): 22% (28 / 2 hrs. 7 min.)

15. Velvet Goldmine (1998): 17% (20 / 1 hr. 58 min.)

16. Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace (1999): 17% (23 / 2 hrs. 16 min.)

17. Little Voice (1998): 14% (14 / 1 hr. 37 min)

After watching Ewan's Walk of Fame ceremony I feel reinvigorated. Finally cracked open my notebook to work on the EMSP again!

(Ewan Matchmaker Game)

After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has chosen your perfect boyfriend...

Christian! (Moulin Rouge)

You definitely have a type and it's sad, broken men who are love-starved (highly specific, I know). Luckily for you, Christian is THE sad, broken, love-starved man of all time! He's sweet, sensitive, and will love you with a passion that can ignite the stars. And don't worry, this bad boy can take the trauma of a lifetime and still maintain purity of heart! No matter how bad things get, his love for you will never falter. Just give him some kisses and cuddles and he'll be yours forever.

Thanks for playing!

(and sorry for the wait)

Oh!! YES I LOVE SAD BROKEN BOYS. He’s so whipped in this movie… wowowow to have him be whipped for me…. 🥵

He might remain pure of heart but I will make sure that he is soul is defiled.

Thank you!!!! (Also I totally noticed after I posted it that one of the questions was supposed to be a 3 word answer and I gave you a paragraph. I have piss poor reading comprehension, sorry lmao)

I ship you with Robert Lewis from A Life Less Ordinary because he's a passionate writer and a little goofy. You seem to really be into story analysis and fandom which some people might find goofy/nerdy. So I think y'all would get along.

(this is for your reblog of the anon shipping post but you don't have anonymous turned on so I hope this is still okay)

I have never heard of this character before, but passionate, writer, and goofy definitely speaks to me lol

FANDOM ALERT 🚨 FANDOM ALERT 🚨

Attention all Ewan McGregor fans! This is not a drill!

I'm pumped! I'm hype! I'm frothing at the mouth cuz TODAY'S THE BIG DAYYYYYY 🎉🎉🎉

Ewan is getting his star on the Walk of Fame TODAY at 11:30am Pacific Time!

Make sure to double check the time conversion for your zone!

The ceremony will be streamed live on www.walkoffame.com

I'm excited to show up and SHOW OUT for our mans!🤩🤩🤩

Don't apologize for SHIT! Imma be crazy right there with you, Pal! 😝

I apologize in advance for the level of crazy I’m going to become tomorrow while watching Ewan get his star on the walk of fame (and Hayden speak!).

Fun. That's what the fuck Down with Love had going on. Fun! We need movies that will be unashamedly fun and quirky and just plain silly again. Not sarcastic. Not making fun of itself (or the audience) because it knows it's "cringe" and is embarrassed about it. Just let movies be full-blown wacky and ridiculous! It doesn't need to justify why it's that way. Embrace the weird! Be fun!

we need to bring back to cinema whatever the FUCK down with love had going on

(Ewan Matchmaker Game)

After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has decided that your perfect boyfriend is Michael! (Perfect Sense)

You like the challenge of a fixer-upper and Michael is just the man for you! He's charming and oh so handsome, but doesn't think that he will fall in love again. Behind his kind smile are dark secrets that he's afraid will make you leave him if you knew. He will be a very gentle and attentive boyfriend to you. He will love to personally cook for you and give you the VIP treatment when you visit his restaurant. Just take things slow and let him know that you're someone he can depend on. Eventually, he will bare his heart to you and your love will be strong enough to withstand anything.

Thanks for playing!

What an interesting choice! Thank you for the game! It's fun!

It is sweet that you almost wrote a ficlet about our relationship! XD

THANK YOU!

(Ewan Matchmaker Game)

After much deliberation, the Matchmaker has chosen your perfect boyfriend...

Julien Sorrel (Scarlet and Black)

You like men who are complex and rough around the edges. Someone that society judges based on their exterior but you desire to know fully. Whose motivations aren't easily understood as they're kept tucked away. Only revealing their true selves to you once they love and trust you. Julien Sorrel is all these things and more. He's a dreamer with lofty goals who is shackled by the box society has put him in. A sweetheart who means well but is often controlled by his emotions. He would be a loving boyfriend and write you beautiful letters everyday. He'd work tirelessly to provide you the life you deserve. The way to his heart is to invite him on a picnic and let him share his knowledge of the flora and fauna with you. If you show him that you're a person of knowledge as well, then he'll immediately fall head over heels in love.

Thanks for playing!

(sorry for the delay)

Ooooh, you know just how to tempt me: with a man from the 1800s 🫦 lmao. I haven’t seen Scarlet and Black yet, so I can’t say for sure, but he seems like a good fit! You’ve definitely hit the nail on the head with my thing for brooding intellectuals hahaha and I love getting a character with the long hair! I’m certain we’d live a long, happy, and pretentious life together 😂

Thank you!

The Ewan Match Maker Game

I've been tumbling this around in my head and I don't think it's nearly fleshed out enough but I wanna do it anyway 😅 What better way to work out the kinks, right?

Okay, so the game is that I'm going to match you to who I think is your perfect Ewan McGregor character boyfriend!

All I need from you is to reblog this post with the answer to 3 simple questions.

What is your favorite movie? (does not have to be Ewan related)

What is currently your #1 song on repeat?

Describe your favorite character in 3 words (don't tell me the character)

I'll send my answer to you in your ask box!

Let's see how well this goes lol

Announcement

I think I'm breaking the rule which is don't make decisions late at night or something. But I also don't think it counts because these aren't life-changing decisions which is what the rule is for, right?

I don't think I'm going to do the Ewan McGregor Halloween event. I don't have the energy to even think about it. Plus, it's not like it's something I can do that won't be done better by somebody else anyway.

I think I've reached the end of the Ewan McGregor Screentime Percentage project. Again, lack of energy, not necessarily lack of interest. I don't see the point anymore, I guess.

No more SFW Alphabets. Sorry to the two friends who wanted a Curt Wild one. I tried and I just can't even look at my drafts anymore. I had a few in the works and was very excited. I realized I'm just not any good at it.

I'm just tired a lot and can't think. Even Ewan is bringing me less comfort. More like a bandaid on a broken leg. I'm truly sorry if you looked forward to my posts. Hope that doesn't sound arrogant. I really wanted to do it for you.
