Dreaming Of Stars

This is Nothing but a Dream Ask me Stuff!

{Excerpt}

Satine heard the low rumble of the speeder’s engine. She glanced out of the window and watched it get smaller and smaller until it disappeared over the horizon.

Ben remained by the road, one hand raised as he waved goodbye to the older couple.

The sun was already setting, and darkness had begun to gather beyond the rolling hills. It was pretty. Almost magical. And for Satine, life had been so erratic over the past year that she had almost forgotten what it felt like to simply watch the sun go down. Standing by the window, she watched the sky slowly change. Orange melted into red, then purple, with traces of deep blue. Tonight, for some reason, the colours seemed brighter than usual. Perhaps it was the changing season. Or perhaps she was simply paying attention.

Her gaze fell back to Ben, who was now jogging toward the house. His hair bounced around his face, and he looked rather silly in those old, loose-fitting clothes. And yet somehow, he still managed to make her heart beat faster.

I love this!

[dreamingofstars97]

What drew you to obitine?

Thank you so much for the question!

Oh boy… there’s a lot I could say about it. But I think what drew me in most was the tragedy of their story.

They’re both idealists who genuinely want to make the galaxy better, but they choose different paths to get there.

It’s not a relationship that falls apart because they stop loving each other. It falls apart because of the lives they’ve chosen. I’ve always found that kind of tragedy fascinating to explore. 💕

{Excerpt}

Even if you give her everything you have, you will still fail her. That’s the paradox of a devotion as blind as yours.

A pair of yellow eyes stared unblinking into his. Then came the laugh, chilling and enigmatic, echoing through the chambers of his mind.

Obi-Wan’s eyes shot open.

It had been a dream. A dark memory resurfaced as his consciousness drifted and his body finally surrendered to exhaustion. It had been a rare moment of deep sleep—one in which he had almost forgotten that Satine lay beside him, burning with fever.

The morning air was crisp with the scent of underbrush and damp earth, while soft rays of sunlight filtered through the green canopy above. Birds chirped somewhere among the leaves and bushes, and for some reason, it didn’t feel as cold as the day before.

Moving his right arm slowly, he reached for her forehead. Hot. He propped himself up just enough to look at her face.

Her cheeks were unnaturally flushed, while her lips had turned pale, almost colourless. She coughed. This time, it sounded painful.

“That’s alright,” he whispered as her face contorted into a deep frown. Was she in pain? Was there anything he could do to make her more comfortable? As he weighed the situation, Obi-Wan remained still. His left arm was still wrapped around her shoulders, his cloak covering them both like an improvised blanket.

The birds suddenly grew agitated. They burst from their hiding places, gliding overhead and above the treetops toward the open sky.

Obi-Wan listened intently, searching for the cause of the sudden disturbance.

Far in the distance, a rumbling sound. It was still a long way off, but approaching quickly. An engine. A speeder… or perhaps a speeder bike.

I think we all writers hate these bots with passion

[dreamingofstars97]

Haha… yeah…. I can relate. 😭

[now-you-sound-like-a-jedi]

anyway, if satine kryze was actually a terrible ruler and a terrible person who was wrong about everything, the actual bad guys (you know, the murderous fascist sith lords??) wouldn't have been so invested in getting rid of her

[impossibleprincess35]

And they had to STAGE attacks!

They had to INVITE criminal elements into Mandalore!

If Satine had been as bad and inept as they said she was, they would have never had to stage attacks and bring the criminals in! The attacks would have been happening on their own and the crime syndicates would have already had holds in their world.

The second Satine found corruption with the poisoned tea, she burnt the Moogans’ asses up and jailed Almec for his part!

And IMHO, the only reason Satine didn’t immediately go apeshit on Death Watch when she learned they were still alive and kicking was because she supported their right to exist and dissent.

So tell me again why she’s the worst?

I don’t think Satine was incompetent or naïve, I think the tragedy of her situation is that it was entirely unavoidable. There was nothing she could have done different or done better. No one else in her shoes could have produced a different outcome against the insurmountable odds.

[dreamingofstars97]

I’d like to add that she was definitely not incompetent. Wishing for a better world and actually doing something about it requires a lot of intelligence and courage, and I think this is what makes her character so unique and powerful.

She was made of courage and hope.

❤️ Satine❤️

I really wish fan fic readers knew how big of an impact their comments can have on the writers.

I woke up this morning feeling pretty depressed and forlorn. This time of the year is always rough for me, and generally I've been managing much better than usually, but this morning was rough.

Then my latest chapter got couple uplifting comments, and especially the one that was very appreciative of the way I've handled polyamory in Dice & Demons really lifted my spirits. I was back writing much faster than I would have without that boost.

Meanwhile another writer I'm talking with regularly got a negative (and unusually personal) comment on their latest work. There were plenty positive ones too, but those sharp ones tend to prick deep and often leave a long-lasting mark. For them, that one comment turned the day much worse.

We both write because we want to. Because we enjoy the process and like telling stories. But it does not mean that we wouldn't love getting comments. Especially the ones that tell that we are on the track with our weird little ideas and takes can be very impactful.

[writingdose]

to be clear, I believe younger artists and minors can write good fics (not to say “fanfic must always be good” either because it is a hobby and I still believe that as long as it’s done with love and the artist’s joy, it is good) and I believe it’s good when younger artists and minors start making art at young ages.

that said, a lot of fanfics out there that you read and love are done by adults with kids, jobs and responsibilities. adults who have years, decades of practice under their belts. adults who don’t let life and responsibilities take away their joy in creating.

someone’s love and passion don’t suddenly go away the second they reach a certain age. so if anything, I feel sorry for people who say “adults shouldn’t write fanfics or make fan art” because what these people really say is that they expect themselves to stop having fun and finding comfort in things that bring them joy and comfort the second they reach a certain age. it’s sad that they put an expiration date on their own fun and source of comfort.

[dreamingofstars97]

Today, I’d like to remember someone who helped me take my first steps into the world of writing.

Dawnwind was an incredible writer, as well as a wonderful teacher and editor. I’m deeply grateful for all the time, patience, and encouragement she gave me when I was just starting out.

If you’d like to read her work, here is her AO3 page:

{Excerpt}

The woods were dark, cold, and inhospitable. Even the wildlife seemed to have retreated from the weather, leaving the forest drenched, grey, and unnaturally still. But it was not the kind of stillness that brought peace. Instead, it felt watchful. The sort of silence that settled over the world before a storm.

And after everything that had happened so far, Obi-Wan had become familiar with that kind of silence. Master, please hear me, he reached out through the Force, uncertain whether Qui-Gon’s absence was merely a matter of distance. Or something else. Obi-Wan pushed the thought aside before it could take root. Ahead of him, Satine coughed again and stumbled over a fallen log half-hidden beneath mud and debris. He was at her side in an instant, catching her by the shoulders before she could fall.

“Are you alright?” She looked terrible. Her skin was pale. Dark circles lingered beneath bloodshot eyes, and even standing seemed to require an effort that had not been there before. “Yes, Ben,” she replied between coughs. “I just… I just need to sit for a moment.”

Pulling his cloak tighter around her shoulders, she lowered herself onto a moss-covered rock, her fingers red from the cold. Obi-Wan studied her for a moment as she sat with her eyes closed. Slowly, he reached out and brushed the back of his fingers against her forehead. He frowned. “You feel hot.” Lowering himself to her level, he searched her face.

“I-I’m certain it’s nothing,” she replied between coughs, the fit lasting longer than before.

“No, Satine. I have to disagree. I think you have a fever.” His stomach sank. After everything they had endured—the bounty hunters, the river, the cold—now this. Obi-Wan drew a slow breath, the scent of petrichor anchoring him. What could he do? “I think…” he hesitated, weighing his options. “I think we should find shelter. You need to rest.”

“Shelter?” A tired smile flickered across her face. “Look around.” She gestured weakly toward the forest. “There’s nowhere to go. This place is crawling with hunters.” A cough caught in her throat. When it finally passed, she lowered her gaze. “I think we’re running out of places to hide, Ben.” Obi-Wan pressed his lips together. A knot tightened in his chest.

She was probably right.

here is your daily reminder to COMMENT ON THE AO3 FICS YOU READ! it goes such a long way, especially if it’s a multi-chapter work and you can only leave kudos once. ANYTHING is an acceptable comment—emojis, keyboard smash, screaming, in-depth analysis! i promise you, the writers want it ALL

[dreamingofstars97]

Yes, please! 💕

[reyjakestherapist]

I love Qui-Gon, but damn was he a shitty master for Obi-Wan. First he didn't really choose him, which Obi-Wan accidentally learned about. He also let him go on his first mission off world alone, letting him fear he had abandoned him to follow Count Dooku (novel Padawan). Then he seriously considered ditching him and giving him to another Jedi master (novel Master & apprentice). And just when Obi-Wan probably started to feel comfortable and appreciated, Qui-Gon found that boy on Tatooine and announced before the Council that he wanted to trade Obi-Wan for him.

I mean, I'm sure he meant it when he said that Obi-Wan was ready to face the trials and become a Jedi knight, but he could have at least discussed it with him beforehand?!

And even as a Force ghost he sucked. For 10 years Obi-Wan called him in despair and never heard from him, until finally he appeared and blamed him for "not seeing him". Dude, your Padawan's been through literal hell, and that's all you've got to say to him? :/

[dreamingofstars97]

I couldn’t agree more.
