Hey you are the person who made the aus where ahsoka went back in time to the TPM and the kenobi-tano au right?
is there a reason you took down your posts about them? iβve found some reblogs of them but canβt find them on your own blog and was wondering why.
no pressure though iβm just curious.
Yep, that was me. Took it down for my own reasons. I also don't like leaving art I no longer feel is 'up to scratch' on my main blog. I drew most of the KTAU in my teens, and the quality showed that, lol.
"The pipeline from bickering over steaming cuttlefish stew to sharing six kids is real, and I am proof." - Eliana Martell, victim of the pipeline from childish spats to devoted wife.
Finally watched akotsk. Felt bummed that I hadn't watched it earlier. Went on a fic-reading spree to compensate. I donβt know why or how Maekar Targaryen managed to bewitch me, but he did. So Iβve thrown my lot in with the isekai-and-transmigration crowd and lobbed a modern girl into the world of asoiaf (original, yes). Who then gives Westeros wheelie chairs, roller skates, bicycles, and Elton John. All while getting herself beneath the skin of one grumpy prince.

Cuttlefish Stew & Wheelie Chairs
βEliana was Motherβs youngest cousin from Dorne. At an age with Baelor, sheβd been sent to foster with the crown at fourteen. A frankly fucking baffling political move: to foster a Martell daughter at court when half the court was already choking with Dornish foreigners. The First Men were suspicious. The Andals smelt Rhoynar-favouritism; fucking Andals. But King Daeron II welcomed her and put her amidst his own children.
β¦It didnβt take long to realise why Prince Doran was so eager to give Lady Eliana to the crownβ¦
Self-professed βeggheadβ; fount of quackery and lunacy; a pain in Maekarβs arse since he first shared the banquet table with her; yet also the mind behind steam-powered engines, mechanical timepieces, hot-air balloons, and βwheelie chairsβ.
βThe Crown Jewel,β the court dubbed her. Because Father realised what a mind like Elianaβs could accomplish for the crownβ¦and against whom she could be weaponised.
The Blackfyres were stirring. And a girl like Elianaβfavoured at court and by the kingβwould be headhunted by the Blackfyres. Or worseβ¦theyβd realise she wouldnβt even deign to piss on them if they were aflame, so theyβd have her quietly removed.
King Daeron feared this. So an arrangement was made: Eliana had her pick of Daeronβs sons. The Crown Prince, every courtier and fishwife said. Sheβll pick Prince Baelor. Heroic, handsome, chivalrous and charming.
Everything the fourth son chronically lacked.
Yet Eliana would pick the prince to whom charm was chronically allergic."
Do you think you will ever continue Here's to Life? It was one of my fave fics of last year and I loved the direction it was going in. I get it though if not, life gets busy!
Haha! Didn't expect someone to mention 'Here's to Life' on tumblr, nor in 2026! Honoured, lol.
Unfortunately, it really is a matter of life and other projects being in the way. I have the story plotted out to about the end of Series IV, but the battle is finding time.
I might get back to it one day, I might not. Sorry I can't give you anything more definite. But in the meantime, here's some art for the team that I never got around to posting.
on a different note.. iβve absolutely been eating up your original content too. iβm in love with your The Tanihwa and the Lion story and would absolutely devour a novel (or graphic novel) of their story lol
To be honest, the AHS pennyβs still up in the air.
Iβve recently gone back into AHS and tried to fix her up (i.e., tightening prose, limiting head-hopping mid-paragraph, and tweaking some story elements, etc.). Itβs giving grief. The trouble stems from my writing style having drifted so far since I started writing AHS. The latter and early chapters are fine. The middle ones need CPR.
I do have the next chapter half completed, tho. But Iβve kinda hit a wall after that. Lots has still gotta happen. Like answering who the Templeβs Youngling/Stranger is, and whether or not Palps figures everything out before our heroes do. And whether or not Qui-Gon gets that vacay to Mrenio with the infinity pool. Or if Obi-Wan gets his Temple-issue sunnies or not.
*shrugs* Weβll see. Stay tuned, Iβd say.
As for The Taniwha & The Lion (T&L), Iβm glad youβre enjoying it! Come to think of it, there are a few parallels between AHS and T&L. Entirely unintentional on my part, but just thinking about it, theyβre there.
Weβve got our sassy heroine thrown back in time. A posh toff becomes her best friend. He also comes with the surrogate child, his βyounger sibling.β Thereβs also some cosmic-spanning sci-fi fantasy plot that haunts the narrative until everything reaches critical mass. I could go on, lol.
I'd like to finish AHS one day. I'd also like to turn T&L into a novel. It's a matter of finding time, lol. But I'm glad to hear you're enjoying both!
Everytime i see new The Taniwha and the Lion stuff I get so excited. I scroll through the tag so often because its so vibrant and fun. I hope its as fun for you to draw as it is for us to see!!
β₯οΈ It totally is! I have a whale of a time drawing everything up. Iβve had these characters cooking in my head since I was a teen. So itβs great to finally be able to βbring them to life,β so to speak. So Iβm super glad youβre enjoying it! β₯οΈ

"From our first introduction in 1924 (right to the very date of their disappearances), I suspected the whole ado of Miss Baxter being made my governess was a way for my brother, Howard, to look after her. She wouldn't accept charity. She wouldn't accept his money hand over fist. But she'd accept the position as my governess, and, in a way, that was better for Howie. This way, he could keep Daisy out of strife, give his baby sister a friend, and look after us both."

For the accidental time traveller: when you get displacedβagainst your will, no lessβto "elsewhen", make sure you befriend the kindest soul you can locate. Bonus points if he's the gentry.
Also, try to avoid mentions of prophecy, predestination, fate, or the niggling, persistent whisper that you might be something akin to Adam and EveβEnki and Ninmah, or Rangi and Papaβcome again.

β...I loved you, Daise. You just didn't realise it.β
When you get 'outlandered' into the 1920s, into the lap of the gentry's prodigal pariah, so you push your boffin tendencies to their limits to get back to the future. (Warning: extreme boffin tendencies may also result in seduced British lords. Proceed with caution.)

"She ain't got no money,
Her clothes are kinda funny,
Her hair is kinda wild and free,
But love grows where my Rosemary goes,
And nobody knows like me." - Edison Lighthouse
...That awkward moment when you discover a quantum singularity (which has been gobbling people up across the nation) sitting beneath your uni campus, and you don't know what to do with this information.
My brother and I went to the Sydney Royal Easter Show the other week. I saw a chicken with boots and a pompom for a head. I felt I needed to immortalise him in sketch, alongside the goat that mistook my knee for a scratching post.
