norman fucking rockwell! starters.

you fucked me so good that i almost said i love you.

you’re fun and you’re wild, but you don’t know half of the shit that you put me through.

i can’t change that, and i can’t change your mood.

‘cause you’re just a man, it’s just what you do.

why wait for the best when i could have you?

i don’t get bored, i just see you through.

you took my sadness out of context.

maybe i could save you from your sins.

take a deep breath, baby, let me in.

just take my hand.

i’m your man.

they mistook my kindness for weakness.

i fucked up, i know that, but jesus – can’t a girl just do the best she can?

who i am is a big-time believer that people can change.

you don’t have to leave her.

when everyone’s talking, you can make a stand.

even in the dark, i feel your resistance.

you can see my heart burning in the distance.

you want this, you need this.

are you ready for it?

oh god, miss you on my lips.

nothing gold can stay.

you’re beautiful and i’m insane.

give me hallmark. one dream, one life, one lover.

it’s just me and you.

touch me with your fingertips.

we’re getting high now because we’re older.

me myself, i like diamonds.

if you weren’t mine, i’d be jealous of your love.

maybe the way that i’m living is killing me.

it turns out everywhere you go, you take yourself. that’s not a lie.

wish that you would hold me or just say that you were mine.

it’s killing me slowly.

dream a little dream of me. make me into something sweet.

fuck it, i love you.

it turns out california’s more than just a state of mind.

if i wasn’t so fucked up, i think i’d fuck you all the time.

we got this relationship.

i love her so bad, but she treats me like shit.

take this veil off my eyes.

my burning sun will, some day, rise.

said i’m gonna play with myself.

we’ve come to tell you that she’s evil, most definitely. evil, ornery, scandalous and evil, most definitely.

i’d like to hold her head underwater.

i’m a star and i’m burning through you.

be my once in a lifetime.

i’m a fucking mess.

thanks for the high life.

i would like to think that you would stick around.

you know that i’d just die to make you proud.

touch me anywhere ‘cause i’m your baby.

i believe that you see me for who i am.

is it safe to just be who we are?

you try to push me out, but i just find my way back in.

there’s things that i wanna say to you, but i’ll just let you live.

if you hold me without hurting me, you’ll be the first who ever did.

what you been up to, my baby?

haven’t seen you ‘round here lately.

all of the guys tell me lies, but you don’t.

you just crack another beer and pretend that you’re still here.

this is how to disappear.

i love that man like nobody can.

i’m always going to be right here.

no one’s going anywhere.

you don’t ever have to be stronger than you really are.

i wanted to reach out, but i never said a thing.

i shouldn’t have done it.

i wanted to call you, but i didn’t say a thing.

i’ll catch you on the flip side.

we’ll do whatever you want, travel, wherever how far.

you don’t ever have to be stronger than you really are.

you don’t ever have to act cooler than you think you should.

you’re brighter than the brightest stars.

you’re scared to win, scared to lose.

whatever’s on tonight, i just wanna party with you.

you make me feel like there’s something that i never knew i wanted.

it’s you. all the roads lead to you.

i see you for who you really are.

i miss dancing with you the most of all.

nobody warns you before the fall.

i’m wasted.

don’t leave, i just need a wake-up call.

i’m facing the greatest loss of all.

i want shit to feel just like it used to.

i guess that i’m burned out after all.

sometimes, girls just want to have fun.

the poetry inside of me is warm like a gun.

it’ll buy me a year if i play my cards right.

i’m just trying to keep my love alive.

bartender, our love’s alive.

baby, remember, i’m not drinking wine.

that cherry coke you serve is fine.

i love the little games that we play.

do you want me or do you not?

i heard one thing, now i’m hearing another.

happiness is a butterfly.

what’s the worst that can happen to a girl who’s already been hurt?

i’m already hurt.

if he’s as bad as they say, then i guess i’m cursed.

don’t be a jerk. don’t call me a taxi.

i just wanna dance with you.

i lose myself in the music, baby.

i’ve been tearing around in my fucking nightgown.

don’t ask if i’m happy. you know that i’m not.

at best, i can say i’m not sad.

hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have.

she couldn’t care less, and i never cared more.

hope is a dangerous thing for a woman with my past.

i’ve got monsters still under my bed that i could never fight off.

they write that i’m happy. they know that i’m not.

I think I’ll give it one more week, but I’m going to be making an IC post from Miria related to things happening in the Obi-Wan Kenobi series.

[galacticgossip]

“Have an interesting tip? Send it to the editor. Don’t worry about being outed for passing on information. All sources remain absolutely anonymous.”

[galacticgossip]

“It’s been a slow day here at Galactic Gossip. Has the galaxy truly run out of interesting stories to tell? Or are people just getting better at keeping those secrets. I hope not. I might be out of a job. And then I’ll be forced to go back to HNN. Well, maybe Deena can put in a good word for me if it comes to that.”

[galacticgossip]

Headquartered on the city planet of Coruscant, Galaxy Gossip is a tabloid news outlet. It’s editor, Miria Daraay originally worked for HNN, but she grew bored of the news cycle, deciding that she wanted to focus more on the secrets of the galaxy’s elite citizens. Tips come in from all different sources and Miria pays her spies very well.

The Republic was no more and it in its place was the Galactic Empire. The change was subtle, but things were already starting to shift. Her own organization had been shut down and Miria was now back at work within HNN. Something she had never expected. It wasn’t that she hated it, but she knew she was going to miss being her own boss. Making her own rules.

She glanced around the lounge, noticing how subdued the crowd seemed. While it was still loud, there was an obvious tension in the air. There were more troopers, blasters at the ready.

Martial law, she thought, albeit an unofficial one.

“Here’s to the new order,” she muttered to herself before knocking back the shot.

Send “Rumor has it...” And a rumor about my muse

[galacticgossip]

From the desk of the editor:

This message is going to be a bit of a departure from what we normally publish here at Galactic Gossip, but we feel as though it is necessary.

Tonight, the worlds under the banner of the new First Galactic Empire are celebrating the end of the war. For too long we have watched world after world fall to the Separatist Forces. Our galaxy has been ripped apart and our people have suffered. No one could have suspected that the Jedi, those who claimed would protect us, would also betray us. It is only thanks to the leadership of the great Sheev Palpatine that we are able to survive.

None of us knows what the future holds, but one thing I will say. I will sleep much more soundly tonight.

[holonetnews]

There are stories about what happened. It’s true, all of it.

holonetnews​:

[X] - @galacticgossip said: Miria vc: Sign me up.

“Really, Miria? You think that you can be me, huh? I look forward to it.”

“Oh. I don’t think I could ever be you. You’re one of a kind, Tharen.”

anonymous:  Ah, Coruscant. A world smothered by The Republic's crumbling duracrete shell. A world full of recycled air and disposable people. 2 trillion souls, covulsing, choking, breaking under the weight of the corrupt system that chains thems to a synthetic existence. The holovids don't even show the underlevels, the slums, the gangs... The Republic's gloriously gluttonous under-belly, fed and fattened on the crop of lies cultivated in the Senate over millennia.

“Sounds like the start of a trashy pulp holo-novel. Though, it really is an accurate view of this world. Most people never venture to the lower levels and see the people who actually keep Coruscant going.”

JESSICA CHASTAIN and OSCAR ISAAC in SCENES FROM A MARRIAGE (2021)

[galacticgossip]

“I know I’m supposed to be insulted by being called a ‘tabloid freak’, but I’m going to take that as a compliment. Also, I’m not competing with the regular news. I’m just providing a different type of service.”

[galacticgossip]

anonymous: I heard that Padmé Amidala is in fact married to her Jedi bodyguard Anakin Skywalker.

“The speculation around the nature of the relationship between Anakin Skywalker and Padmé Amidala is something that has been swirling for since about the time the Clone Wars began. Of course, if you look back into official records, you’ll find that both Master Kenobi and Knight Skywalker met the former Queen of Naboo after the failed negotiations with the Trade Federation. And then there was the mission where he traveled with her to Naboo after the several assassination attempts.

Now, one could make an argument that they are simply dear friends. After all, such events have a way of bringing people together. But that doesn’t account for the reports that he’s been spotted leaving the Senatorial residences at all hours of the night. We all know that the Jedi are supposed to remain unattached, but I’ve heard tell that physical relationships are not off limits.”
