Only day you can reblog this
This is making me think of a modern Star Wars au fic I am working on where Luke has a conversation with Din about how he isn’t sure if he’s f to m trans or gender fluid because he identifies as a he, but doesn’t want gender correction surgery because he still wants kids of his own, but also occasionally feels more feminine than masculine and still likes dresses and makeup and stuff like that. Din is like “I am the least qualified person to decide that for you, but I’ll support you no matter what you decide to do.”
For some reason the comments kept cutting me off randomly and wouldn’t let me copy and paste the whole thing so I’m just reblogging this to say what I wanted to say.
Not cis, not trans, but some secret other thing

Shady has...no regrets

Luke sighed as he sat planning out his garden while Din sat through council meetings. He hadn’t wanted Din working blindly so he decided to finally start planning out his garden. Ideally he’d like trees in it. Brylark, Dewdrop, Heart Berry, and Willow, specifically.
Brylark because he had a Wookie Padawan already who specifically wanted his lightsaber hilt to be wooden and it would be nice to have access to it for his temple, even at the cost of his own personal garden. Dewdrop because they were pretty and he really liked the fruit on the one occasion he had gotten to try it. Heart Berry in case he didn’t feel like the Dewdrop fruit, and Willow because it was an important part of folklore on Casiey’s home world.
Sadly because they were underground he likely couldn’t have trees in it, so he’d skip them entirely, even if something felt so right about adding trees to it. He supposed he could do two versions, one for if they could grow trees and one without. He'd have to talk to Din about it tonight.
He stretched as he leaned back in his chair. So far he’d planned mostly flowers, some ivy, and ferns. He wanted to add a few herbs here and there, but he wasn’t sure what to add specifically. Maybe some nysillin or twin-scented natterbloom? Behot was originally native to Mandalore; maybe he could plant some in his garden.
Luke sighed. He was getting nowhere with this.
Staring at the hologram of the garden so far he brushed his fingers over the flickering image of Queen's Heart. He had so many other flowers, multiple types of roses, black lilies, bluebell squish, aura blossoms, millaflower, vomur, vanserv, sunburst, sun-dew.
Star flowers would be hard to find now that Alderaan was gone but if anyone could do it it was Din.
So many other flowers he’d added, but he kept bringing himself back to Queen’s Heart, the flower his mother had planted all over Theed when she was Queen.
A choked sob escaped his throat. He wanted his mom right now. Wanted her to hold him and tell him everything was going to be okay. Tell him how she and his father managed to make things work when they had to be separated almost all the time. Maybe give him some tips about ruling an entire planet? He wasn’t sure, he just wanted his mother. Wanted some memory of her or something to keep her with him.
Had a guy on a dating app say I clearly wasn’t female because I had a unibrow in a picture and thus must have been born with a dick between my legs. Like, hate to break it to you buddy, but never had one of those attached to my body at any point in time.
It’s wild to me to see transvestigator conspiracy theories online that could be so easily explained by natural human variation. That woman has a deep voice? Yeah, sometimes they do. A woman has broad shoulders?? Maybe she plays rugby or hits the gym a fuckton. There’s a “bulge” in her tight pants?? Maybe her vulva is just fat. All the “markers” of trans woman that transvestigators use to harass any woman aren’t even things unique to trans women.
My Mando Luke design for Of Bolts and Buckets Hearts, plus the crest I made for the Skywalker family. I really wanted to put the twin suns of Tatooine on his armor somehow. This is his pre The Mandolorian series design, in between season 2 and BoBF his armor undergoes a design change involving moving them to the side of his helmet.
The colors of Luke’s outfit have meaning and are as follows
Orange: Lust for life
Red: Honoring a parent
Blue: Reliability
Black: Justice
Green: Duty
White: A new start
