Hi! I’m Jesse. I like to write and draw stuff, and my current hyperfixation is Star Wars. (For literal decades, my main hyperfixation just bounces back and forth between Star Wars and Star Trek every couple years or so. So… I’ll probably be back on my Star Trek bullshit eventually lol)
I write and draw a lot, but only just started posting things online this year. (I’m autistic and get super worked up about posting anything on any social media, so this is a big step for me! Lol)
Writing:

Multi-Chapter Fics:
Welcome to the Afterlife (Fives Haunts Fox) -- WIP
Bad Times on Coruscant (Fordo on Coruscant) -- COMPLETE
Sins of the Father (Boba & the Coruscant Guard) -- WIP
Cody Does a Mutiny: After the events of Umbara, Kadavo, and Rako Hardeen in quick succession, Cody has fucking had it. He decides to leave and take his brothers with him. All of them. The Republic can fight its own damn war. (Working title. Very excited about this one) -- FUTURE
Jedi Schism: The clone wars end. The Jedi survive. Anakin nails his 95 fucking theses to the wall. The Jedi split in a schism that eerily echoes the unresolved politics of the clone wars. (Or, turning my ridiculously in-depth knowledge of the 1500s christian reformation into something useful) -- FUTURE
The Corries Get Social Media Famous: Combining my two favorite things, the Corruscant Guard and explaining vines in excruciating detail. (Possibly nobody will find this funny but me) -- FUTURE
And literally so, so much more.
Art:
I don’t consider myself much of an artist, but I do enjoy drawing fan art on Procreate! Here are some of my recent pieces:
It’s Always Sunny on Coruscant (It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia inspired meme redraws)
Fox & Cody
Anakin & Rex
Fox loses his shit and becomes a conspiracy theorist
Fox (creepy)
Baby Maul
Seventeen, Fordo & Baby CCs
Art for the amazing Firefly AU fic Where I Cannot Stand by @jebiknights for the WIP Big Bang challenge
Prompts welcome! (Especially parodies or meme redraws like the ‘it’s always sunny on Coruscant’ ones!)

I don’t often talk about other stuff, but it’ll be tagged with My Thoughts On Stuff
Sometimes a creative outlet is a fun little hobby and sometimes it's a lifelong affliction. Like I crochet because making little woven animals sparks joy and I'm a writer whether I like it or not because I'm tormented by visions
you have to stay alive. you're going to be such a beautiful middle aged freak. young freaks will see you in the street and know that things can be okay.
I was 22 when I got my first bookstore job, and at the time my entire experience of "old people" was my grandparents, none of whom had been particularly healthy, and none of whom I was close with. To my young eyes, all they did was sit around and be old. That was life after 60.
The owner of the bookstore was this grand old dame of 76 who had been in the business for 40 years. She'd had three kids with a husband who was extremely gay, and as soon as those were old enough, they split up. She read on an epic scale, was an avid follower of the opera, sang in several choirs, and scheduled arts programming for a private club. She had gentleman callers (so they styled themselves) at the store continuously the entire fifteen years I worked there--yah, into her NINETIES. She never took up seriously with any of them, because they couldn't keep up. She was impeccably dressed and put together every single day of her life, drank regularly, and said they would pry her estrogen supplements out of her cold, dead hands. She had a gang of elderly single lady friends, though, and they went out every night of the week. They knew everything and everyone, collectively. She got her first smart phone in her mid-80s and became extremely Online. I bet she's on Tumblr now. She is 96.
This blew my mind. Life didn't have to be over...ever.
We worship youth in our culture. Only the young have futures, and the aged exist to enable the lives of the young. We act as if by the time you hit forty, you've had your chance. You are now expected to step aside and scede life to others.
FUCK THAT. I have a lot of life ahead of me. I have places to go and books to read and people to fuck and food to eat and music to dance to and emotions to feel and nazis to punch and stories to tell and hearts to break and ventures to capitalize and empires to conquer. I am going to be doing this for the next fifty years, minimum.
I'm loving this new trend of people going to zoos and participating in animal enrichment. We use to observe large exotic animals for our entertainment, but the fact is that we are now trying to make ourselves equally as entertaining for them. It's interactive, completely parpicipatory and I would argue that eventually someone's gonna come up with something new enough that it expland ethologists understanding about how some animals think, problem solve, communicate and feel and I think its fantastic.
affirmations for writers: i know how to write. i have seen sentences before, and i know how to make one. i can identify up to several words and their meanings. i am not afraid of semicolons.
“Cassandra woke up to the rays of the sun streaming through the slats on her blinds, cascading over her naked chest. She stretched, her breasts lifting with her arms as she greeted the sun. She rolled out of bed and put on a shirt, her nipples prominently showing through the thin fabric. She breasted boobily to the stairs, and titted downwards.”
hi gang. reminder that we are some of the best sweaters in the animal kingdom (second only to equines) allowing us to stay cool and keep moving in hot weather. we have 10 times the density of sweat glands compared to other great apes.
we are ALSO insanely good at smelling rain (specifically geosmin, found in the soil and activated by rain) with the ability to smell 10 parts per trillion. this is speculated to have helped our ancestors survive!
we ALSO have absolutely batshit diets compared to most other animals. caffeine and chocolate are completely toxic to most animals but we can eat it without even feeling sick. even avocados are severely toxic to many animals to the point where it can be fatal to eat, but humans love it!!!
we are ALSO the best endurance runners ON EARTH out of ANY other species. we beat horses in endurance running. you know, the animals that gradually evolved away most of their toes in order to be the best runners?? yeahhh.
and to top it all off. our lifespan is unusually long for our species' weight/mass. typically, the bigger a species is, the longer its average lifespan (e.g. domestic mice live for 1-3 years, whales can live over 200) but we're very small for how long our average lifespan is. big cats like tigers live around 14-15 years, brown bears 25 years, yet here we are expected to live around 75-85 years. that is NUTS.
humans as a species are so extremely cool. it's not just our intellect that makes us amazing. we may not be the fastest or the strongest in the animal kingdom but we're super cool in many other ways. next time you sweat you can go wow!!! humans are so cool I'm able to keep moving because of my absolutely insane number of sweat glands! thank you evolution!
