We’re Painted Red To Fit Right In

A Fair Return

A comic I made for the ShortBox Patreon in 2020! So so proud of this one. You can see my other work HERE

Once you’re the focus of all that attention, it’s addictive.

So to further out myself as a Fandom Old ™

I’m browsing ao3, as one does, and this one image struck me to the core and I just stared at the screen for like a solid 20 seconds

Oh how the world has changed

It’s canon if I liked it and if I didn’t like it then it’s non-canon.

Un-ironically a big fan of this poster

I said it in the notes on the last post but I’m gonna say it again.

I’m married to someone with severe memory problems. Automation of household appliances & systems helps him a lot and helps me a lot because it reduces the number of things I have to keep in my brain at all times. I love doors that lock themselves, being able to schedule dog food being delivered, a thermostat I can manipulate from wherever. Beyond my little bubble it should be noted that voice controlled appliances can be really good for people with mobility concerns. Appliances that can measure and talk and remember little tasks can be such a blessing for people.

I will never forgive Amazon and Google for taking technologies that could be really helpful and weaponizing them, and fuck everybody who acts like its some kind of conspiracy theory that those devices are spying on you. You absolutely should be distrustful of those devices but just make sure you’re getting angry at the right people.

"what the fuck is your problem?" (compliment)

So you’ve definitely answered this before but do you have any codywan fic reccs? I tried to find the original ask but didn’t have any luck

i think i did too BUT i also cant find it lMAO i dont mind doing another, irregardless!! because fic writers ALWAYS deserve more love! this is no means comprehensive, but these are my go to feel goods

through the rain by katierosefun [1/1] - (a history of rain, first meetings, and cody and obi wan) this fic is so sweet and gentle, like a warm bath. its just so lovely and cody is such a precious man in this.

carbon cycle by caffine [9/9] - (p66: obi wan discovers gardening, and cody builds a rebellion) this might be my favorite post 66 AU- which is saying a lot because i live, eat, and sleep post 66 AUs. it takes time to flesh out who both men became after Order 66 and has a lot of fun with force logic, i just love it. also the authors in earth sciences so i feel a solidarity.

It’s Raining Dear by caffeine [1/1] - (modern domestic au) I READ THIS FIC LIKE THRICE WEEKLY. wonderful characterization of both our guys, and its so… it makes me yearn for a wife? cody is so perfectly fleshed out in this! also, not to be too personal but as someone who has gone through having a clost family member dealing with addiction, this fic actually handles it perfectly without being condescending, so thank you.

Classified by skycathcer [1/1] - (the boys discover cody keeps taking flirty calls in mando’a. unrelated, but obi wan’s on an undercover mission) im obsessed with the clones’ rapport in this, its such peak brother behavior. great one shot man makes me wanna keep living my life.

trouble with the curve by jimmytiberius [1/1] (modern: rex convinces cody to switch with him and obi wan tries to score [thats a baseball joke]) have i mentioned before how much i love baseball? has that come up before??? surely??? this fic is great, even if you dont like baseball- though if thats the case i will take your lunch money and shove you in a locker.

Make You Bed (Lie in It) by glimmerglanger [5/5] 🔒 - (cody starts sharing quarters with obi wan) this… this fucking fic man. It made me feel things when i was drunk and sober and thats saying a lot. i think i love the gradual progression of the relationship here and the way they communicate the most, its so well done. like just watch two people fall in love, come on you know you want to.

The Art of Happenstance by galateraGalvanized [1/1] - (cody and obi wan co parent a lightsaber) i mean… come on. There’s a parent trap reference in the TAGS of this fic, you think that wasn’t MADE for me??? this is such a joyful fic for me, like i just enjoy reading it whenever i need a little pick me up.

room for two by thedisasternerd [3/3] - (undercover on a mission, blinded with pining.) you all know that we couldnt get through a rebecca fic rec list without a fake/pretend relationship au. COME ON!!! THIS FIC! i think this might have been the first codywan fic i read??? theyre so good and dumb in this fic, perfection.
