I think it’s really funny when fans pretend to be angast and disgusted by obikin and anisoka because of the age gaps like Anakin’s canonical love interest is much better.

Padme was fourteen when she met a nine year old Anakin.

they got married when she was roughly twenty four and he was roughly nineteen.

while a five year age gap isn’t that bad, taking into account how old they were when they met and their ages when married makes it weird real world standers.

and then their twin children have a canonical incest kiss on screen in the original trilogy.

i’m so sorry but star wars is not the fandom to be pearl clutching over problematic age gap ships, you just can’t do that when it and twincest is in the source material.

THIS!!!

I am truly only making this post so that the first thing that comes up on a search for the "anisoka" tag isn't someone griping about age gap relationships.

If you see this, feel free to reblog with your favorite anisoka moment!

I have two: The two of them being very hot and capable in the Clone Wars episode Kidnapped, and their silent moment at the end of Ahsoka season one.

Made two versions of the Nightsister Code, one with a green emblem and one with a white one (snagged the PNGs off Wookiepedia)

What do we think?

[gaveintothedarkside-deactivated]

So someone reblogged my last post with the idea that the code have Mother Talzin's line "You have your sisters and you have your breath", and i didn't see it before I posted this, so I have another version of the code with that line now!

Here it is!

[creativside]

OH THIS IS SO COOL!!! I lovectge Nightsisters so much!!

Just so y’all know: I can’t speak for every other fic author but I can say that I remember when people leave me kind comments. I recognize your urls and/or usernames on AO3. I remember you and sometimes in writing my fics I think to myself, “Oh, I hope this person sees this because they liked x in this other fic I did.”

Not only that—I go back and reread comments when I’m feeling low. I look at tags and reblogs and asks and wish I could hold them in my hand like a note from a friend on an old, torn piece of notebook paper.

Your comments have so much more impact than you know. So thanks to those who use the comment section to spread love and encouragement. We appreciate you.

Y’all know what time of year it is….

[creativside]

YES!!!

[leebrontide]

Every single time I see a take that amounts to "if you write about X happening, or like fiction where X happens, you like X" I'm reminded of this one time I was at a casual friends house as a young kid. We were in her room, pretending to "be orphans" escaping from an evil orphanage and having to take care of each other and fend for ourselves. It was all very Little Orphan Annie/All Dogs Go to Heaven and based on the 80s pop media.

And this girl's mom comes in, hears what we're playing and gets all MAD and UPSET. She says that if we play act something, it's because we want it to happen. So her daughter must WANT HER TO DIE.

First off lady, we were 6 year year olds, so take it down several notches. We barely had a concept of mortality for fucks sake. She made us feel so guilty and ashamed, because she was taking our game personally.

Now I have a 5 year old. And sometimes she looks at me and says "pretend you're dead, and I have to -" Whatever it is. Some adult task she's assigned herself.

And it's just so transparently obvious that she's practicing the idea of having to do things on her own. Which is exactly what 5 year olds are supposed to do. I actually find it very flattering that the only way she can envision me not being available to help her is to be literally deceased. Otherwise, obviously, she wouldn't have to do scary hard things alone.

It's a natural coping mechanism. She's self-soothing about what would happen if I wasn't there by play-acting independence in a perfectly safe environment. She's also practicing skills she needs, and making up excuses for practicing them on her own, without taking on the responsibility of being able to do them by herself all the time yet.

Humans mentally rehearse bad this in their brains all the time. We can do that by ruminating- going over worries over and over again, which tends to lead to anxiety and helplessness and depression. Or we can do it with a sense of play- by recognizing that the fiction is fiction and we can dip our toe into these experiences and expose ourselves to bad things without actually being injured.

My daughter does not want me dead. And I don't want bad things to happen in real life. But fiction and pretend help me face the horrors of the world and think about them without collapsing or messing myself up mentally.

[rederiswrites]

Exactly this.

[lowkeyed1]

fiction is a safe space to think of unsafe things if you feel it's messing you up, step away. don't assume it's messing everyone up and you need to eradicate it because you caught a case of the feel-bads from something. go sit with that and think about why instead of pissing in everyone else's cheerios.

for your story to have themes of empowerment and anti-bigotry it has to contain bigotry, btw. feminist and anti-racist themes can’t exist without misogyny and racism, explicit or metaphorical. your desire to scrub depictions of prejudice from fiction is regressive.

[creativside]

THIS. I'm no fan of Sarah J Maas (too much Zionism for me), but I saw people saying one of her books was problematic because she claims to be feminists but had whorephobic insults.

Review of the linked offending dialogue revealed that said insults are the antagonist insulting the protagonist. COME ON PEOPLE. That's hardly mindless whorephobia.

I'm all for critiquing and criticizing authors, but this ain't it.

New archive just dropped

Back in the day, there were a lot of different fanfic archives. And then AO3 came along, and everyone moved there. And there's a lot to be said for having a central multifandom archive! I love AO3! But there's also something to be said for communities having their own space.

The OTW has always said they their code is open source and they want people to use it to make their own archives, but it is ... not very user-friendly, shall we say. But now there are several people who have gotten their own instance of the OTW-A code up and running for their own archives.

And now there is another! There is now a femslash-focused archive called Sunset! It was just created and is still very tiny, but if you are into femslash, either writing it or reading it, you might find it interesting. It is run by Agnes the Alien.

Sunset is a website established in 2025 dedicated to hosting femslash (F/F) fanworks. It holds pro-freedom of fiction, queer and trans inclusive, anti-racist and generally compassionate ideals. We're here to have fun and love women. Sunset is run by one person, Agnes the Alien, who dreamed this up in zher bedroom. Please be nice to zher! ... I'd also like to shout out Squidgeworld, Superlove, Ad Astra, and Comic Fanfiction Authors Archive.

Write it shitty, write it scared, write it without a clue but don't you be so spineless and have an AI write fanfic for you.

[makingqueerhistory]

I used to get a lot of hate for using the word "queer" in the title of this project. One of the justifications I gave was that LGBT+ was too easy to take apart. Just drop whatever letter you don't like and go on with your day.

My posts have gotten tagged LGB more and more often lately. Usually accompanied by the worst additions imaginable. People are starting to whittle down and choose who they think of as disposable, so let me say this:

Queer as in trans people

Queer as in asexual people

Queer as in aromantic people

Queer as in nonbinary people

Queer as in bisexual people

Queer as in unlabled people

Queer as in anyone who counts themselves as queer.

Queer as in no questions asked, just an open door and a place to stay.
