Hello all! This is my first bit of writing I will be posting here! It is a little poem I wrote about love (apparently at 1:17 am haha) Here we go!

Look at the stars

Aren’t they beautiful

They remind me of you

Bright and sparkling

Beautiful and mysterious

Just like you

The stars are wonderful things

They make us long for adventure

They remind us that hope still exists

That there is good

Even when it seems like there isn’t any

Just like you

You are like the stars

You are radiant and powerful

You are bright and sparkling

You are mysterious and strong

And to that I am ever grateful

You make me very happy

You make me feel wonderful

If I had only but a fraction of your personality

I would be unstoppable

You can rule the world

For the stars carry messages to and fro

Messages of love, friendship, family

And many more

You remind me of the stars

Because I love you

writer: ah, yes. a brand new idea, a brand new word document, a brand new creation.

word doc: |

writer: ok… if this is gonna work you gotta stop blinking at me like that

word doc:

writer: good

word doc: |

writer: ma'am, you had ONE JOB-

An open letter to white Star Wars fans:

Y’all gotta stop talking over us. Y’all gotta listen when we speak, y’all gotta boost our voices, y’all gotta stop brushing us off as insignificant because we are small in number. Stop trying to tell us what is and isn’t racism; y’all have not experienced racism a DAY in your life, you do not get to tell me if something is racist when I’m pushed aside for the color of my skin or the slant of my eyes. You don’t get to tell the Māori fans that the clones aren’t whitewashed, you don’t get to tell the black and Asian fans that Finn and Rose Tico weren’t shafted. And y’all don’t get to pretend that half of this crap doesn’t come from fandom racism, because y’all get mad every single fucking time there’s a non white character on screen.

And no. It is not all white Star Wars fans. You don’t need to remind me of that, I’m well aware and I’m not in the mood to hear “but not all white people!” You know what? It might not be all white people, but all POC are affected, so maybe rethink that argument if you were getting ready to type that into my replies. Not to mention, racism is embedded so deep within this fandom that if you are not using your platforms to spread the word, you are contributing. POC cannot be the only ones doing this. There aren’t enough of us, and you know why? Because every time y’all see a POC make valid points about fandom or in-show/in-movie racism, y’all ignore them and harass them out of the fandom. Y’all talk over then, tell them that they’re just being over dramatic, that no, they couldn’t possibly know what whitewashing is, because god forbid someone point out flaws in the media you’re interested in.

I’m tired of it. And I know a lot of other POC in this fandom are tired of it too.

Thank you @vanilla-chip-101

Some time later, Obi-Wan was guessing a few hours, he felt something rubbing against his leg while vibrating. He looked down and saw Battle Ax looking up at him with an innocent look, even though Obi-Wan swore he saw a glint of mischief in the tooka’s eyes.

“Well hello there little one.” Obi-Wan reached down to pet Battle Ax, but before he could do so, the small tooka jumped up onto his lap and started purring. Then he proceeded to lay down in Obi-Wan’s lap and don a look of expectancy.

Space kitty cat for obi!

Thanks for the tag @sued134​!! 

Rules: Share a little section of one of your WIPs.

Here’s a snippet from a Year on the RunTM fic I’m messing around with:

“Calm down Duchess, I’m not going to drop you.” 

“Don’t tell me to calm down! You aren’t the one being floated 500 feet above the ground with no tether!”

“Don’t be ridiculous,” Obi-Wan said. “I’m your tether. Now shut up and let me focus.”

“Don’t tell me to-”

“Shut. Up.” 

Slowly, Obi-Wan eased her to the ground. By the end, he was dripping in sweat and breathing heavily, but she was safe and sound on the ground and that is all the mattered. Obi-Wan took a breath. Took another. Then he leapt. 

Obi-Wan felt the air push against him, though it did little to slow his descent. He would have to do that on his own. Once again, Obi-Wan called upon the Force and used it to slow his fall.  

He landed in a crouch next to Satine. Shakily, he stood up and tried to catch his breath. Satine raised an unimpressed eyebrow at him. “Tired?”

Obi-Wan rolled his eyes. Ungrateful. Insolent. Stubborn. “No,” he said. “Let’s go. I bought us some time, but the bounty hunters will catch up and I don’t want to wait around for that to happen.” 

“Are you sure you don’t need a moment?”

“Positive. Move along, Duchess.”
