Trying to migrate back from Twitter so made a new side blog to avoid the chaos of my ancient main one. Not sure what I’ll put here yet. Maybe ocs. I am 29. I love to chat about random and ocs.
Happy May the 4th everyone! I think this is the first year I’ve actually prepared something for this most sacred of SW holidays in all my years in this fandom, so I’m excited to share it!
What if the Fives chip arc went a bit differently…
What if Palpatine was…
Out Foxed
+++
And all the clones had their chips removed and went out for ice cream to celebrate Palpatine’s defeat and the end of the war
My first SWC...so excited🥹 If anyone is going to Japan, it would be great to meet up. I will be making stickers and small cards to distribute this time.🙇♀️
politicians from Naboo have a long-standing habit of training with and utilizing body doubles
the Queens are the most popular image of this, but Senators like Sheev Palpatine are no exception, even after he was elected Chancellor
the Chancellor typically sends his double, Brian, for visits offworld, or to security meetings in the Jedi Temple when he's especially busy
what he doesn't fill Brian in on is that he's secretly also Darth Sidious, and occasionally he needs someone to help him sell his image as the paternal politician to people across the galaxy, or maintain the illusion of his surprise or confusion to the Jedi, or provide an alibi so he can act as Sidious undisturbed and unsuspected
but that hardly means that Brian doesn't fill the role of Chancellor for much more mundane reasons, like, say, when Palpatine gets hit hard by the inoculation for the Blue Shadow Virus after the Separatists attempted to use it as a bioweapon
after all, you can hardly allow your supreme commander to run around vulnerable to a known threat to his safety, so the Jedi insisted on sharing the vaccine, and he could hardly refuse
however, his extreme reaction took everyone by surprise, even Palpatine himself, meaning that he didn't have time to brief Brian on all the meetings that he had scheduled
or, as the case was, to reschedule meetings Brian shouldn't have known about
like the holocall from Count Dooku, the political leader of the Separatist movement
Brian hardly thought he could turn down such a potentially important meeting, so he accepted the call with his clone guards still in the room
he was prepared for nearly anything from the Count, threats, demands, even a call to the negotiating table
what he wasn't prepared for was for the man to be kneeling, and to ask his Master for his bidding
Brian doesn't know how to respond to that
so he defaults to his go-to response:
vague grandfatherly small talk
through his intense internal panic, he can tell that Dooku is also extremely confused by this situation, but he gets the sense that Dooku's more surprised by his demeanor than his appearance, that this wasn't simply a case of entering the wrong holo frequency
he hangs up as soon as he can, and turns to the similarly shocked Guard Commander who had gradually shifted throughout the call to be standing behind him, just out of view of the holocam, and requests to be brought to the Jedi Council immediately
We have 30 days until the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) laws are rescinded. This is the 50-year bedrock of American conservation. Normally, these actions take years but the administration has provided 30 days for public comment gutting clean water and clean air. Drop what you’re doing, before you make any more calls or read any more social media posts, please populate the Federal Register with dissent.

I just did that (2/27/2025), and the message on that website said:

I strongly suggest (in your own words) couching your dissent in Trump's (and followers') own rhetoric. Here's what I said:
Removing these regulations will make America sick again, cause neurological and intellectual impairment in children (due to less regulation of lead), and raise the level of preventable cancers in adults (due to less regulation of known carcinogens),thus reducing American productivity and greatness.
I need to write an AU where Obi-Wan works at Dex's diner maybe during the Imperial era and Clark Kenting it. Shaved his beard and wears glasses or some other low level cosmetic thing.
Patron: wow has anyone ever told you that you look like Jedi General Obi-Wan Kenobi?
Obi-Wan: oh yes, after betraying the Republic I got hired at a diner in cocotown since it was the only job I could get after becoming an enemy of the state. I'm afraid I'll have to beg for your silence on the matter.
Patron: haha can you imagine? Anyway I'll have the shake and fries.
⭐
Clone Trooper: hey doesn't that guy look like General Kenobi?
Clone Trooper Buddy: no he looks completely different. He has no facial hair, he has glasses, he has tattoos. General didn't look like that.
Third Clone Troopers: it's so hard to tell them apart.
Clone Trooper Buddy: besides with the amount of businesses that legally are allowed not to serve us you think the one that had General Kenobi working for them would let us in?
Clone Trooper: ugh good point.
Regular: Ben is nice Dex, but he's kind of clumsy. (Winces as a bunch of plates shatter in background)
Stormtroopers on leave tense and look over at the middle aged man profusely apologising, they turn back to their nerfburgers.
Dex: Ben means well and he's got a kid to look after you know? Besides he's gotten way better than he was before!
CRASH
Stormtrooper: do you know how hard it is to get space mustard off armour!?
Ben: I am so sorry 😭 please let me help you.
Regular: you're a good guy Dex (shakes head)
Later:
Dex: pal you gotta bring it down with the clumsy act. I can't afford this many dishes.
'Ben': you're only mad you didn't see their faces.
Dex: well that's also true. Steal anything good?
Ben: copied a few passcodes. They were gossiping about their next station. I'll put it on a drive and you can sell it.
Dex: I'll send a copy to Organa too. Never know when it might come in handy.
Stormtrooper: I need to see your identification citizen.
'Ben' completely unconcerned: of course! Ben Kenobi (hands over very good fake id)
Stormtrooper: (stares at him) wow that's rough. Do you get hassled? You related or something?
'Ben': hassled? Oh! Perhaps a bit in the beginning, but not as much now. I thought about changing my name, but updating ID now is so complicated.
Stormtrooper: tell me about it. I got married and it was a whole thing.
'Ben': exactly! Who has the time for the line up at a Service Corscant? I find being straightforward is the best way to go about it. I'm not even related, just the same Stewjoni last name and similar build. The name is what really makes people think I look like him.
Stormtrooper: yeah I wouldn't have even thought about it. Anyway you're clear. Have a good day.
Ben: you too! 😊 (Smiles as he walks away with a bag of weapons the Stormtrooper didn't bother to check)
disney genderification of mandalorian helmet visors what if i killed you with one million hammers. why the fuck did they do that. the whole point of the gender neutral language and the ubiquitousness of the armor design is that a Mandalorian is a Mandalorian first and foremost and social roles/presentations are not based on sex/gender. they’ve got words for different genitals, probably for different biological processes. but the concept of a man being of different presentation than a woman, or a mother different than a father, a sister than a brother, is not present. why would you then assert they design their helmets, the most important part of their armor, differently. in a way always associated with certain secondary sex characteristics. do you want me to kill you
