Okay, as I post this it is April, but as ever @klarionthewizard and I gotta start powering up our engines early as that's a lot of fics and rudely enough we are expected to work and such. (Why can we simply not live in a little shed in someone's yard and get paid to write Star Wars fic? Patron of the arts and all, anyone?)

SO

Here are the prompts we came up with for the October "Imptober" writing event! One month, 31 prompts for fanworks centered around Star Wars Imperials. We've tried to word them in such a way that they allow for fanworks of all ratings.

Eager as ever to see what everyone comes up with :D I'm going to add this as my pinned already and will probably drop WIP snippets here and there as we near November!

Adding a message to say we welcome ALL languages too! I may try to translate at least the prompts if need be, I can't promise anything on the horrible puns x)

unlike the last drawing, the canvas for this one is actually in a 1.33:1 ratio like tos

IDK I think if cis men are being told that being fat will lower their testosterone and make them Insufficiently Masculine, and cis women are being told that being fat will raise their testosterone and make them Excessively Masculine, and fat trans people are being denied the right to medically transition if they're fat, and thin trans people are warned against HRT because it will make them fat (and this is said about both testosterone and estrogen HRT), and androgynous-presenting people are told that only thin people count as androgynous...

Then maybe...

Maybe...

Maybe the weight loss industry is just using Gender to enforce fatphobia.

if you see me liking contradicting headcanons for the same character just know it's because I do not give a fuck and I have an active imagination #hewouldsaythat

[willgrahamscock]

sometimes it’s not about ‘would he say that or do that’ it’s more like that would be hilarious if he did because I have a jester’s heart

Interview: STAR TREK's Alexander Siddig celebrates Arab-American Heritage Month

The Beat caught up with Alexander Siddig of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine for a conversation on Arab-American Heritage Month.

SIDDIG: A lot of gay men at that time, and maybe even gay women, kinda responded to the Bashir character. I think that was because of (Garashir), and maybe the bravery of not only that, but also an implicitly Muslim character being potentially gay, potentially bi, potentially gay if they’d explored that route. That is something Garak brought with him to the party, a bottle of implied homosexuality…

LLOYD [interviewer]: So were you aware in the 90s that it was homoerotically charged and on board with that? SIDDIG: I was aware of it in the back of my mind, yes, absolutely, and encouraged it. At my first meeting with Garak I became visibly flustered. That was entirely my choice. It wasn’t written into the script. So I set off in that direction right from the get-go. And Andy (Andrew Robinson) obviously loved it, and that character became a series-long character because of that first scene…

LLOYD: That’s really cool. We’ve heard a lot of times about how Andy and Garak were on board from the start but I don’t know that I’ve heard before that you were on board from the start. SIDDIG: I subconsciously keep that door open with just about every character that I play, and I always keep it as ambiguous as possible. One of my first roles was in A Dangerous Man: Lawrence After Arabia with Ralph Fiennes and I played Feisal and again, not in the script, but that was charged with homoerotica and implied homosexuality. I’d just come fresh off that project. And I’ve done it numerous times since, characters that are written straight I just make sure are not quite straight. That’s just one of my things, probably because I’m not quite straight myself and that’s probably perfect.

I did not know that….but this cool nevertheless as someone who also comes from Arab origins!
