Ok hi! I found how to do the thing

Since you said you'd prefer to stick to Star Wars OCs, here's two for you.

The first is Jak'al, a Espirion jedi turned to the dark side:

He's probably also the best drawing I've ever made.

Second, is a yet unnamed General that actually got to where he is because of time travel shananagans, but that lore is besides the point.

He was pretty badly injured in the process, and something I'm not sure I managed to convey is that his droid friend sacrificed itself in order to keep him alive, thus the weird mask helmet thing. Im resuming wildly because it has been a WHILE since I delved into this, but do with that what you will.

You can draw either, both, or none, but I do hope you have fun!

I drew the red guy cuz he really interested me, silly angry man >:]

Here I was excited because I thought it might be something big or profound but apparently I was doing dialogue blocking and just didn’t elaborate with anything else, so I present to you all my latest wip, it’s very detailed and informative about who it’s for and what’s going on

“I understand.”

Tadah!

thanks for the tag, @itsgoghtime!

it isn't technically the last thing I wrote, but its in the last thing I wrote.

And it's Terra Nova, of course.

....But the akimbo frame of the man suddenly flinches, ever so slightly—lifts a foot, scuffing the rubbers of combat boots against the wet sakrete. Watching as he returns to his motionless state, she manages to swallow a breath thick with nothingness—no words, no compliance, no spit. Looking back to the over-under of her laces, she notices his are the same. He ties his boots the same way—-tight over-under patterns in eye-hooks, the excess laces tied around the back of his leg. It’s an old trick, one from the almost-ancient way of living before everything became disposable. Replaceable, plastic....

howdy howdy!! thank you for tag the mare!

last thing I wrote, I’m going to be contrary and not tell anyone the wip it is in :)))

Nononono. He doesn’t want to let go of her yet. It takes a few tries to get his voice loud enough, he wants something else first, the need desperate and nearly overwhelming.

no pressure tags! @doodledrawreblogs @agentfaust @starrybouquet @airlocksandaviaries

[agentfaust]

oooh thanks for the tag!! not spilling the wip either but here…

She would brush her fingers over his picture, unable to resist pulling his whole file and reading pages and pages about this man whose accomplishments seemed too good to be true: a once in a generation agent who, unlike everyone Ilsa had met in her few short years in intelligence, had retained a genuine kindness and care for humanity—a kindness that for all others had dissipated with the echo of their very first fatal bullet.

“Chances were, they’d continue looking for him no matter what. Thinking quickly, Kix ducked into”

1 guess as to which fic this one’s for. I haven’t finished writing that second sentence, so you get the one before.

Uuh. @gabriel-the-messenger I know. And… @alwayskote? No pressure. I don’t know many writers.

“Those who dare deny a soul its true purpose or, gravest of all, fully destroy it, will see themselves responsible of the worst crime possible to commit against an individual. By doing so, they condemn their own destiny, and will be refused access to eternal afterlife, forced to forever roam the worlds-in-between or face annahilation.”

Its hard being neurodivergent and sexy because people come to you thinking “Woah a stud” and by the time they realize you’re a femboy its too late, you’re already balls deep in a lecture about DnD and Warhammer 40k and they’re trapped listening to you until you suddenly get really self conscious and you just stare at people in silence for the next couple of hours.

The thing with drowning is

You dont see the problem when the wave takes you under

You thought you knew how to swim

You don’t notice the riptide dragging you deeper and deeper

The light simply fades, slowly, inperceivably

Until it’s too late

You can’t see anyone, nor hear anything

You try to call for help

Water fills your mouth

You try to look for ways out

The salt burns your eyes

You try to swim up

But you’re weak

You keep sinking

And then you try to breathe

One breath is all it takes

Water rushes through your throat

It rips through your windpipe

Bursts through your lungs

Reaches the heart

Extinguishes hope

Floods the mind

Washes all thoughts away

And there is no thrashing at the bottom of the lake

Only the pressure of a million expectations

And cold, dead, silence.

Favourite quote from work today:

"It is a given that when you have some kind or archrival or nemesis, you kinda have to want them in some way, whether it's sexually or otherwise"

To give context as to how this came up, I work in a screen acting academy, and one of the actors-to-be was justifying their state of being during a scene between two people who hate each other's guts, which they were playing in an extremely seductive way.

New movie idea:

Howl’s Howling Castle

The plot is exactly the same as Howl’s Moving Castle, except the castle is screaming in the background the howle time.

If i had a vampire girlfriend and a werewolf girlfriend and also like a cringefail human boyfriend, id be happy forever. Pretty sure thats the answer to all my problems.

Catastrophic love triangle with me in the middle

That wasn't nearly as silly as I promised, looks like YOU were the clown for believing me

[gabriel-the-messenger]

I've written songs no one will ever sing

Melodies without music, humming into nowhere

Words that burnt me, the page my ashtray

Songs of ember, frozen forevermore

Liberated from my vain spirits

Yet without their fire, though my scars will heal

I crave the passion of their flare, the fury of the flames

And as the fire dies, so too does part of me

Paper may burn bright and fast

But do the ashes regret losing their proses in the smoke?

[gabriel-the-messenger]

I already forgot you

Another hole left in my head

By another silent bullet

Another invisible death

The emptiness remains
