[aureutr]

Hi, I’m Reu! (she/her) I write Star Wars fanfiction, reblog shitposts, and sometimes draw. Feel free to drop me an ask or a message. I accept prompts and headcanons and I like chatting but am shy about starting conversations on my own.

I’m on AO3 as Aureutr_Accoredge and Twitter @aureutr (not very active)

I also made the Star Wars Randomizer (with help from Caro with data curation)

Common Tag Breakdown, Current WIPs, and more below cut

Current WIPs

Distant Echoes (yes really)

Unnamed statue AU

Untitled Dinluke, rework of Gilded Cages, Green Spaces as an arranged marriage royalty AU

Potential Story Concept Posts

Untitled Fantasy Fae AU - Din, a hunter, accidentally adopts a changeling and must return it to Faerie in order to secure the release of the human child it replaced. Unfortunately for him, the Prince of the Summer Court is very attractive.

Hondo Adopts Luke - Exactly what it says on the tin. Probably won’t write this one but it’s a fun concept.

ObiMaul The Cell AU - Palpatine is dead, but no one knows exactly what kind of dead man’s switches he left behind. Obi-Wan is tasked with interrogating their one potential source: Darth Maul, recently captured on Mandalore. The technique he needs to use gets...intimate.

hi any life advice for 21yo

Don't date thirty-year-olds until you are at least 25.

Having a glass of water for every glass of alcohol will give you a 50% reduction in hangover viciousness.

Bad people will use your willingness to be quiet as a weapon against you. If someone's being awful to you and trusting you'll be quiet to keep from making waves, surprise them.

There is no physical object in the world that is worth as much as your honor.

Honor is not the same as dignity. Retaining one sometimes means leaving the other aside.

Don't have any sex you don't want to have; have as much as you want of the sex that you do, whether that's a lot, a little, or none at all. Nothing you can do to your own body is immoral, unless you're doing it as an act of self-punishment.

Food is morally neutral. You do not have to earn the right to eat calories. Fat and sugar keep your brain from eating itself.

Learning to sit still and breathe--in, in, in, hold, hold, hold, out, out, out, out, out, out--can give you five feet of clear space around yourself in a maelstrom.

Find out how to make three good meals: A comfort meal you can make for just yourself relatively easily, a fancy meal you can use to wow a date, and a meal you can feed a bunch of people. All the other cooking can come later, but you can build a community on those three meals.

If you ever get to the point that things are so bleak you can see no other way forward but to die, make any other choice. If that means leaving everything you own and being a beach bum, or quitting your career, or taking up or leaving a religion, or deciding to bicycle across the country, so be it; living means more chances, dying means everything stops and you don't get to see any more interesting things. As you have not yet seen all the things that can interest you, it is better to live.

When i turn an idea into a fic, it means that was an idea that developed far enough to have (for me) a compelling narrative through-line, and like a thesis for what this fic is about.

What this doesn’t capture is the ongoing daytime television playing in my head most days of self-indulgent scenarios that don’t have things like “cohesion” or “a narrative arc” but do an absolutely great job of filling time while like. Waiting for the bus.

[phantomrose96]

Like it’s hard to come up with an original and compelling idea and then figuring out how to best wrap and deliver that idea through a set of cohesive narrative beats.

What’s EASY is going “what if Character Who Gets Hurt A Lot gets hurt again and it’s not even THAT bad but for some reason this was the last straw and they’re crying in a bathroom stall about it while being mad at themselves and then the Character They Least Want To Find Them Like That comes and finds them like that”

[phantomrose96]

And I think what’s most important about these scenarios is they’re so interruptible. There’s no planning out a truly solid set of narrative beats that need to play out in order. It’s just a pause and play and rewindable scenario. So I can go “oh bus is here” “oh meeting started” “oh oven timer went off” and then come back to it later, whenever, at any part of the story.

And this also fundamentally makes them poorly suited to make into a real fic because there’s 8 variations and no true end. I could write it and be like “okay and that’s like, that’s like as far as I got, this doesn’t go anywhere, thanks, want to see the 7 alternate versions of that middle scene?”

[phantomrose96]

And also it does not lend itself well to fic because sometimes the aforementioned self-indulgence is like this

And I don’t need everyone knowing I live like this

Fandom Problem #15,905:

So you're always at the center of every single drama that happens in every fandom you're in, and you really want me to believe you're just a poor little meow meow being unfairly bullied?

[oifaaa]

Honestly dont know where to begin with this one but i'll try

Someone asked how much for mpreg, I needed money, so I held an mpreg raffle where people could enter by sending money and the name of the person they wanted pregnant, count binface won(?), I started questioning if it even counts as Mpreg since count binface is famously an alien from outerspace

If you'd like to help me stay away from mpreg in the future considering donating to my kofi

The irony of this new breed of self-righteous AI hunters on AO3 is that they're all just copy and pasting peoples fics into AI detectors, which are all operated by AI and therefore THEY are feeding people's work into the algorithm without their consent and in some cases no doubt circumventing the locks people put on to avoid getting scraped...

Don't copy and paste anyone's AO3 work into third party websites, you're not the good guys in this situation?

Reblog cause FACTS

[grocki]

sci fi is all about getting so scared and ripping tubes out of yourself. people miss this

[grocki]

sci fi is all about desperately trying to reclaim your violated bodily autonomy. it’s all about asserting that you are a being with agency, and you can choose what happens to your own person, even if that’s ripping tubes out of yourself. and also sometimes an alien is there

i think the funniest thing rocky does in the phm book is straight-up refuse to believe grace for multiple hours when grace explains relativistic physics. and then finally accepts it in the face of evidence but stays really pissed off about it. i wish we could’ve seen that shit like “where is einstein now, question, rocky just want to talk”

some people like to get mad at disability benefits because they think its unfair people who dont work get a payout from the government while they have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week. but if you tell them "yeah that sucks i think you should also get a universal allowance and not have to work 50 hours at the human suffering factory every week" thats apparently the wrong answer.

These days, lots of public libraries have a "library of things" collection where you can check out kitchen appliances or yard tools or toys, and, as a children's library assistant, the most popular library of things item that I handle regularly is a plastic scepter thingy called like "unicorn princess magic wand". And whenever I check it out I make a big show of looking at the little kid and being like "do you solemnly swear to use your unicorn princess magic powers only for good and never for evil?"

And pretty much without fail, the little kid will get the world's most mischievous grin and go "I'm gonna use it for EVIL!!!"

Fandom Problem #15,890:

I'm just gonna say it.

I get that the idea of two people who knew each other when one was in their lower 20s and the other was mid-teens being in a relationship at some point can be unsettling. And if its when the younger is a teen, or as soon as they turn of legal age, yeah, that bothers me, too.

But when it 15 to 20 years down the road, they're on equal footing because they're both adults, both have life experience, maybe even both were swept up in events together (like in many superhero, fantasy, or action stories), already had a friendship, and are basically equals, then I don't see the problem.

If there was a power imbalance, or the older treats the younger like theyre still a child or something, then yeah, that would be a problem. Tbh, it would be a problem in most relationships regardless of when they met.

But things like age gaps of five to ten years don't matter as much as people get older. Its more about life experience and connection.

And honestly? It can be interesting to explore the characters navigating through all of the potential ins and outs of having known each other that long and being attracted to one a other.

I just wish some people would realize that healthy relationships like that do exist irl, and can in fiction, too, because people grow and change as life moves forward, and so do dynamics, instead of, at best, lowkey shaming people for those ships and, at worst, trying to destroy their lives.
