Ssooooo.... Were just gonna throw these guys in a room and see what happens right?

[moncalas]

you're owen lars. your father has fallen in love with a woman and she's enslaved. you and your father aren't rich, but eventually you manage to free her. this one woman. one woman on a planet full of injustices.

you're owen lars. the woman you call mom had another child once. it doesn't make her love you less, but she talks about him in a way that makes it clear that she loved him, too. he's off to be a jedi now and she's very proud.

you're owen lars. your mother's been kidnapped and you have to assume the worst. a man and a woman step into your home and the man announces himself to be that kid who went off to become a jedi. he knows you less than you know him and before anything else can happen, he takes off to bring back his mother, a feat you think is impossible.

you're owen lars. anakin skywalker brings your mom's corpse to your doorstep. her funeral is interrupted by a message of utmost galactic importance.

you're owen lars. your brother is dead. you never saw him again after that first time. there is another jedi on your doorstep, with a baby in his arm and you know what it means and you can't bring yourself to face him as he hands your nephew off to your wife.

you're owen lars. obi-wan ben kenobi is a pain in the ass. he was more your brother's brother than you ever were and he doesn't understand your particular kind of grief, is drowning in his own. you don't even know the full story and kenobi will never tell you all of it. but you have a child to care for so you tell him off and get back to work.

you're owen lars. you didn't know your brother, but you know your nephew and your nephew wants out of this place as soon as possible. you know he won't be safe out there but in the end you're helpless to stop him. and you know the stories, you remember the one time you met him, the days your mother died. and you do this for her and you do this for your father and you do this for your brother and you do this for your nephew.

you're owen lars. your last act is to protect your brother's child. your child.

Happy May the Fourth! I added a second page to this comic from last year!

Look, it’s a weird hill to die on, especially when I don’t really explain, but children deserve to experience fear, disgust, and discomfort in safe scenarios where they can process those sensations.

Media for children used to be scary and that’s important.

“Since it is so likely that (children) will meet cruel enemies, let them at least have heard of brave knights and heroic courage. Otherwise you are making their destiny not brighter but darker.” ― C.S. Lewis

"Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed."

Saw a lot of people doing it and wanted to throw my hat into the ring

[bungerc0re]

it's normal to like blood it's very normal

[queenofnots]

[trekkiedean]

“fem!dean would be super girly” “fem!dean would be butch” we already know exactly what fem!dean would be like because there was an entire seven-season show about her before dean winchester was a gleam in eric kripke’s eye

[trekkiedean]

frankly it would be more appropriate to say that dean is masc!buffy

[mmhhch]

cant remember what got that idea in my brain but there are high chances it was this fic

I know this is from a year ago, but I'm sharing it anyway. I want to look every one of these up!!!

[jame7t]

Coolest thing about lord of the rings? The king of horses shows up. It appears he is no different from all other horses

[cryptotheism]

King of the eagles shows up later. He can talk. Horse king couldn't talk.

[betterbemeta]

He didn't want to talk to you.

[swaglexander-the-great]

[findingfeather]

Uh.

Point of order.

King of Horses ran 450 fucking miles at almost entirely a gallop, without more than a few minutes rest, in 4 nights and basically was like "wait why are we stopping?" when Gandalf took him into the city and he ended up in a stable.

This was not his top speed, nor did it push any limits on his endurance.

King of horses is very different from other horses, actually.

[elodieunderglass]

He just doesn’t do much about his administrative duties

[darkwizardtheorist]

But he didn't need to - his rule was stable, after all.

@rauchendesgnu is that you?? ;)

[chaotic-neutral-knitter]

never be good at your job. it's a trap. they'll just give you more and harder stuff to do and it'll pull you away from your true passion of writing gay fanfiction for people on the internet

Poetry Month, 2026!!

Is it truly almost April again?!

I’m usually on the edge of my seat when it gets to be mid-March, first because I despise winter and all of its trappings, second because poetry month is my favorite time of the year. This year…well. While I’m very excited for warmer weather, my writing in 2026 has been lackluster at best and I’m a bit nervous to attempt my poem-a-day again this year. I almost decided to just skip it, but when I had that thought my heart broke a little, so I’m going to try. It may be a disaster. But I’m secretly hoping that poetry will light a fire in me just like it always does.

Just like in previous years, I’m asking for your help. If you’re so incline, send me an ask (or a dm on discord if that’s where we usually interact) with a fandom, a character or pairing, and a word or phrase or idea. I’ll throw them into a (metaphorical) blender and see what comes out!

note: I never get to every idea, though I always hold onto them and sometimes they become something months or even years later. Some days a prompt doesn’t spark anything, some days my brain is fixated on something else and just has to get it out…so feel free to send more than one idea. I truly love writing poetry for y’all.

Below is a list of the fandoms I’ve been into/writing recently (and by recently I mean in the past year, since I haven’t been writing at all lately). If you want something that’s not on the list but I’ve written it in the past, or I’ve even just geeked out about it with you, go ahead and send it! Who knows, it may lead to something wonderful.

Battestar Galactica

Buffy the Vampire Slayer (no Angel, please…as Spike says, he has stupid hair)

Doctor Who (modern Doctors and companions, plus Eight)

Good Omens

Harry Potter (Draco/Neville is my favorite, but there are very few characters I won’t write)

Heated Rivalry (both the tv show and all the Game Changers books)

His Dark Materials (the books)

The Magnus Archives/The Magnus Protocol

Marvel (the Avengers (especially winterhawk!), Venom, Moon Knight)

MASH

The Raven Cycle (no Dreamer spoilers, please! I still haven’t read it..)

Star Trek (TOS/AOS)

Summer Sons (book by Mandelo)

This Is How You Lose the Time War (book by El-Mohtar and Gladstone)

Welcome to Night Vale

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for all the prompts and comments and excitement you’ve sent me over the years. You are my joy.
