So, apparently after nine months my original tumblr has been restored after the GREAT TUMBLR PURGE OF 2018. I don’t really know what to do. I haven’t used this one too much since the purge just out of fear, anger and the fact that most of my friends were also nuked, but it also feels weird to back to that one. I am really happy to have all my The Last Jedi and Star Wars meta posts restored, though. So, if I stop posting here, look for me over there.

Can you imagine being like a tier god level artist and not using your talents to draw porn of your favorite characters? What a waste.

Anyway, this is unrelated except for the fact that it’s really good art and no one will ever convince me it’s not Luke and Leia taking their child to meet Ahsoka. (They’re on the Falcon because Han plays the willing beard to cover the truth of their relationship, etc.)

Just a gentle reminder that Luke/Leia is canon and they both mutually had sexual-motivated interest in each other. That is all.

I love when people try to make me feel bad or guilty over shipping Luke and Leia, two people who didn't meet until they were adults and who also fell in love with each other before they knew they were related. Maybe it's weird to ship fictional characters who didn't end up together by the end of the series but that's a "hating on most of fandom" thing, hardly confined to Luke/Leia exclusively. I don't think it's weird to ship them in the first place, or that I need to "grow up" because I do. Canon did shipped them first, I just followed.

Don't like them together? Great, don't ship them together. Don't like me shipping them? Too bad.

Vintage Star Wars sheets

I was going to write (another) post about how toxic and super unromantic I find Han and Leia’s “I love you/I know” exchange, but since it’ll fall on deaf ears as always instead I bring you a bunch of (mostly) Luke and Leia art I found from a bunch of different old vintage bedsheets. I love these art styles and the limited color palettes so much.

Oof, Luke is looking a bit off in his Endor gear up there...

This one above is my favorite for the color palette. So vintage.

I support lesbian Luke/Leia.

Followed by a nice variety of this classic pose:

Have any I missed?

Dear Jonsa fans,

Please link me to the slow-burn, ten-years-later fic where Reasons cause Sansa to pardon Jon off the night’s watch and they finally give into all the feelings they’ve suppressed/denied(/maybe occasionally gave into) over the years. Sansa finally gives Winterfell a heir, Jon finally belongs, everyone is happy ever after and heals each other.

Bonus points: 1.) they’re super secret and worried how much people will rage at it, but when they finally announce it, everyone is like “omg finally.” 2.) Sansa has turned down suits for years and years and years. 3.) She has Jon’s baby like nine months to the way of the announcement. 

Please, I beg you.

I drew Luke and Leia as mermaids with their fifty million kids because I knew if I didn't no one else would and it needed to exist. And no one cares and it's only a half finished piece, but my boyfriend liked it and that's all that really matters. Sharing it here just incase someone else ends up liking it.

I just want to use this bright day to remind everyone that Rian Johnson, Dan Weiss and David Benioff are working on their two Star Wars trilogies TOGETHER! Like…. the possiblities! The potentially endless abyss of bad writing, sexism, racism, horrible twists, nihilism, audience mockery… this will test the limits of physics!!!

3 mediocre white men with no respect for their audience, crew and actors two of them having a rape fetish and all hate minorities, what could possibly go wrong!

#also friendly reminder that they threw GoT into the trash for this#like they rushed everything in one season because they wanted to make star wars 

Is this actually confirmed? I’ve heard it thrown about, and it’s a logical conclusion to make, but I am not sure it’s something that’s actually true or just something we want to believe to excuse the state of S8.... However, I also stop to consider this--if it’s not true, like so many other people are insisting, then it means they took their time with GoT S8 and this was actually their very best effort, which is frankly way more terrifying...

[brother-skywalker-blog]

If any artists want a paid commission and are willing to draw Star Wars’ Luke and Leia being overtly shippy but as mermaids hit me up, I’ve got money for you. I’m so tired of trying to find artists that’ll draw them for me.

Game of Thrones 8x05 Spoilers

SPOILERS for Game of Thrones 8x05

I was ready for Jaime and Cersei to die, but not like this. Everything this season has felt so unfulfilling. I get “subverting expectations” but this is Rian Johnson levels of “throwing years of meticulously set up pieces out the window for a shock.” And it wasn’t even a shock, it was just kind of… nothing. I didn’t want to see him kill her, but I really thought that was the path they’d take. He loves her, but he knows he has to be the one to stop her, too, and maybe go out while doing it… So I’m sad that didn’t happen and it did make sense with the plot unfolding the way they did, so I guess that’s okay, but I hate them just standing there as the world collapses around them.

But unlike the potential for if Jaime had killed her, I do I love the idea of them surviving the collapse, the pathway out opening because of it, them escaping and Jaime surviving his wounds, and living the rest of their lives quietly together unknown. Providing it was well-written and they have their baby (and more, ideally). I know this JUST AIRED, but if anyone has any recs or is writing this please link me. I need it. Even if this post is old and moldy when you find it, if you’ve written it or can rec it, please do.

Eleven characters in the nine Star Wars Saga movies have said the phrase “May the Force Be With You”:

Chronologically, the first was Qui-Gon Jinn, but the first to use the exact phrase in a Star Wars movie was General Dadonna to the Rebel troops before The Battle of Yavin. Han Solo also said it before the battle (even though he didn’t believe in The Force at the Time).

The phrase was said by Obi-Wan Kenobi in the prequels (though not in A New Hope, where his Force Ghost told Luke variations of it like “The Force will be with you, always.”

Luke said it to Lando and Chewbacca in Empire Strikes Back, and Leia said it – but not until The Force Awakens, to Rey.

Mace Windu, Yoda and Anakin each say it in the Prequel Trilogy multiple times.

Vice Admiral Holdo says it, and its variation “May the Force Be With Us,” in TLJ.

The only next gen character to say it so far in the sequels is Finn. He says it to Rose as a kind of “bye now,” which is a contrast to the more serious/ominous usage in the OT and ST (usually before or during a battle or journey as a sort of “God protect you”). But looking back at the PT, the the Jedi themselves used the phrase as a valediction, along with a nod, similar to Finn’s usage. (I don’t ascribe much to that fwiw – the writing for Finn in TLJ was unfortunately not that deep – but it’s something that could be explored by better writers.)

Also worth noting, Admiral Ackbar, who was so unceremoniously blown up in TLJ, was also one of the few to use a variation of the phrase (“May The Force be with us”) in Return of the Jedi.

May the Fourth Be with you! (Now get out.)

I drew this for @shadowssuitme because he is my partner in crime and all things Luke/Leia and inspires me greatly and it’s based on some stories we’ve written together. This one will never be published because it’s a pure porn line, but they’re so happy and in love, and that’s basically what the arm bands signify. The original has no top on Leia, but I’m hoping this version will be safe for Tumblr. To the three people who follow me that like Luke/Leia, I hope you enjoy. To the rest of you… I hope you enjoy, too. Luke/Leia are the best ever.

May the 4th be with you, always.
