open a new window somewhere in the world. 

Omega: You’re offered 50,000 credits but if you accept it, the person you hate most in the entire galaxy gets 100,000 credits. Are you taking it?

Crosshair: Yes. Why wouldn’t I want 150,000 credits?

you know, i have this whole schpeel in my head that i need to yap about.

the kudos-to-hits ratio in fanfic is way off.

i'm not only saying this as a writer, but as a reader too.

if you like a fic, even mildly like it, leave kudos. if the first few chapters are kinda meh but you think it can get better, leave kudos. if there's even one bit that you think was kinda enjoyable, leave kudos.

you don't need to have an account to leave kudos. it doesn't cost money, it doesn't take extra effort. it is literally pressing a button when you get to the end of your fic.

and for people who "don't want their account attached to that fic" that's bullshit. you're literally talking to strangers on the internet. i doubt they care about you reading smutty fanfiction.

i have more to say, but in summation, people just need to leave kudos.

As promised, the Bad Batch!

I’m kind of obsessed with the idea of clones taking holos after missions they’re particularly proud of. Also, I love the Dad Batch as much as the next, but I ADORE their Frat Bro days!

(One day I’ll stop drawing clones in T-shirts and put them in proper gear, but today is not that day.)

My friend who is much stronger than me and not on any social media made me this for Valentine’s Day! Captured his essence masterfully so they let me share with the world…pookie

Thank you so much! This is perfect and really sweet, I love it. And yes you got timing time right

Hi, I'm putting in a request for the birthday thing,

Sarah, 20th Feb, +8:00

Echo please!!

Surprise (bc I never know what to do for my birthday), subtle acts, no gifts, for the other two either/both is fine

I think I got everything in there but if I missed something or you want more info let me know

Happy Birthday @maybe-some-words! I hope I queued this right for your time zone 😬

You didn't think Echo was going to make it back to visit Pabu by your birthday, so when an unexpected knock arrives at your door in the middle of your day, you aren't thinking much of it. It may be a neighbor or the post. You open the door, only half paying attention, and find a wonderful surprise: Echo standing with a lop-sided grin and his arms wide open.

After you get over your shock, and exchange many hugs and kisses, he offers to take you out for the day. You never really know what to do to celebrate, and Echo hasn't had any birthdays to celebrate, so you both decide to wing it. Walk around, enjoy the fresh air, and see what happens. As expected, you pass by plenty of people and engage in some pleasant chats. But you also come across a few adventures as well. A stray dog you chase around to help find its home. A bookstore selling books you've had your eye on at discount. Some kids who invite you to play hopscotch.

When you start to get hungry, Echo recommends a restaurant that has great appetizers. You end up ordering a dish of each one and sharing. You catch Echo whispering to the waiter as you make a bathroom trip, but soon discover he'd tipped them off about your birthday as they come out with one of your favorite flavors of cupcake and sing you a song. You take the treat to go and share it with Echo back at home, snuggled under a blanket and enjoying a peaceful end to an unexpected birthday.

May I offer you a tiny Ahsoka in these trying times

a small recreation of what happened yesterday before I went to bed (a comic)

Me, writing a couple chapters so I can be on top of my updating schedule: this is good

The gremlin living on my shoulder: you should post them now, post them right now, the people need to read them right this second, post them, don't wait, the schedule is a lie, post the chapt-

that's what I was made for

did this in 2022 but i figured i post it since i didn’t before.

(it’s kinda bad but pls ignore)

It's a valid fear, but I think the benefits outweigh the possibility of that happening. Reading books from the genre/s you want to write is an excellent way to learn the rules etc of the genre, so then it'll be easier to follow or subvert readers' expectations. Plus, even if you are heavily influenced by others' work, I believe it will evolve and become more original as you go.

I want to read other books in the genre(s) I'm writing in, but I'm also afraid that if I do, those books will end up influencing my own writing too much, and I'll end up writing something that's effectively a copy of something else. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Is my fear well-founded?

do you ever turn to your side expecting to see someone that isn't there

WIP title game!

Thanks for the tag @i-will-write

rules: 1. make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. 2. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! 3. tag as many people as you have WIPs

I'm gonna limit this to things I've worked on in the last six months. Not all of them actually have titles so have brief descriptions instead.

Star Wars Bad Batch Fics

Runaways Cadets (bad batch fic featuring a GN reader)

Jedi reader x Crosshair

Original Fics

Squad 177 (original scifi that I got inspired to write while watching the clone wars)

(original fantasy; a bunch of teens/YAs discover ancient charms that give them powers and have to save the world)

(other original fantasy; i can't concisely summarise this but it also features a team of heroes with magic powers, but its different from the other one I promise)

Tagging @orangez3st @ladylucksrogue @nkinene and anyone else who wants to join in!

hey authors :D so this post applies to EVERYONE, but especially those of y’all with anxiety or OCD

if you are writing something that has a stereotypical trope?? that’s perfectly okay. even if it’s a trope that you see a lot of people on the internet whining about.

it’s okay. it’s okay if you have a love triangle, or a miscommunication incident, or.. well i’m having a hard time thinking of more examples of tropes, it’s a little bit late and it’s been a long day, but i just want y’all to know that it is YOUR story. YOUR writing.

why tf would you want to spend all your time writing something you don’t even like??? if you want to write about something but most people think that it’s ‘cringe’ or ‘cliche’, you should still absolutely go for it!!!

because after all, your stories are for YOU. maybe other people can read them too, if you’re posting or publishing them, but at the end of the day they’re ultimately for you.

you CANNOT make everyone happy. so PLEASE do not cut out things that make you happy just so you can try to make your writing more palatable to snobs on the internet who don’t realize that they can just choose not to read things that they don’t personally enjoy.

this was kind of long. anyways i hope y’all have a nice day/night :D

An Echo Valentine's, for those whose hearts are held captive by an arc!!

And I figured we might be missing him even more than usual, what with comics and the novel that he's eh, not in... tally marks represent counting down the days till we see him again, in whatever medium that may be... *please let it be a new animated series*

I didn’t do the cosplay just for the meme….

Flying to Italy and finding the exact field to recreate the picnic scene was pretty amazing. The costume took me a month to make 😮‍💨 it was so nice to shoot it in THE field!!

Edit: thank you guys SO MUCH for all the love on this cosplay! If you’d like to donate to support future cosplays, I’ve created a ko-fi account here! 💖 donate
