Honourable Mentions:

Kore. She/Her. Twi’lek. Lesbian. Meetra’s crewmate at one point during her Exile. Kore has a giant crush on Meetra, but it isn’t reciprocated.

Lunear. He/They. Human. Revanchist. Lunear was Revan in my first KOTOR play, but didn’t fit at all with how I charactised Revan, so I repurposed him. A very gullible, easily manipulated guy who just wants to do the right thing.

Hypna. She/Her. Sith Pureblood. Cynna’s twin. She controlled a small colony in Wild Space, before being killed by Bastila. This caused more issues than one would think.

Cynna. She/Her. Sith Pureblood. Hypna’s twin. While Hypna was alive, Cynna hated her and wanted to prove that she was the better. After Hypna died, she dedicated herself to tracking down and taking revenge against her killed. It, uh... doesn’t go according to plan.

Kae. She/Her. Sith Pureblood. Transfem. A child who is very powerful in the Force, drawing the attention of several big players in the galaxy.

Vanar. He/Him. Bastila and Revan’s son. Yes I know he’s canon but I dislike canon so I’m taking the concept and changing it. Likes making things explode.

Pan’sar. She/Her. Cathar. My original BH, but her personality didn’t fit with the class story at all, so I repurposed her and she is now Talio’s original mentor. No-nonsense, takes her job very seriously, but gives off big maternal energy.

Squirt. He/Him. Twi’lek. A kid who grew up with Talio on Nar Shaddaa. The only person in the galaxy that thinks Talio is smart. Also trained under Pan’sar.

Melom. He/Him. Human. Not my OC, but my friend’s Jedi Knight OC who I’ve got permission to include in my legacy. He’s a bit of an idiot and idolises Aisha. He understands maybe 30% of what happens around him.

Blight. He/Him. Twi’lek-Sith hybrid. Murrae’s half-brother.

Ceridwen. She/Her. Miraluka. Dark Side Consuar. Evil woman. Evil.

hey guys - ive basically moved to @cytser so if you want to keep up with me please follow there :)

[jackalopey]

Sorry I’ve been dead, I’ve been going through some stuff. I’ll try to get back to everything at some point in this month!

[birdnormal]

here is my one bit of wisdom as a 32 year old with no interest in being a "fandom elder" or "community mom" or whatever -

if someone a little older in your friend group takes care of things and has good advice to offer and whatever, and you all sometimes joke abt them being the mom friend, that's fine and normal

if someone self declares themselves as the mom friend, and begins to act like that is a role with actual authority, Fucking Run

[goldxnfemme-deactivated20241112]

I've been seeing this trend going around about all the terrible things about being a lesbian and I just wanna say, I love being a lesbian, I wake up everyday thankful that I'm a lesbian, I'm proud to be a lesbian, if there's one thing right about me is that I'm a lesbian, being a lesbian is honestly fucking great, I love my desire, I love my love, i love my attraction, I love this part of me so much 💖

[justepilepsy]

Important about Tumblr posts

Do not tag “epilepsy” use “eyestrain” instead to save Epileptic life

Tagging flashing lights with Epilepsy or epilepsy warning will make it show up for epileptic users talking about epilepsy

“Eyestrain” and “flashing” are safe to use as a tag and save many folks

ur government assigned gender for the day is the first thing u get when u click this link to a randomised wikipedia article. NO REROLLS . i am the  trollsteineggje mountain in norway

[foxglovethings]

No one asked for this one, but…

If you made lore for a character you’ve had since you were 16, and you’re in your 20s now and have a better grasp of narrative structure and power creep, you can just retcon the dumb stuff. Like you can do that for free. You’re not beholden to the junk you wrote 5 years ago, and you don’t need to justify removing it if it sucks.

[screnwriter-old-deactivated2021]

This is actually really valuable. Every writer should keep this in mind.

That’s also part of the reason you shouldn’t look back at your old writing and label it as pure trash. You didn’t know what you were doing back then. You do now.

[thenighttrain]

it’s crazy how i don’t know what any of you do for school/uni/work? who are you guys outside of tumblr? what do you work as?? 

[utterly-in-like-deactivated2023]

I’m shook at prev tags ur a CHEF?!? Was NOT expecting that tbh-

[kryptonitejelly]

i was legit thinking about this today - what do you guys do (if you are comfortable sharing) - are you in school (if so, what are you studying) ? taking a break? figuring things out? working (if so, what?)

i genuinely want to know (it makes me feel like i know you all that much more)

[sajdd]

since we're all talking abt newcomers and stuff, when did you guys first join tumblr

for me it was back in like 2014 (i think) when i was in my twenty one pilots phase and didnt know how tumblr worked but i saw funny memes of it on facebook

i then tried to make a #inspirational quotes from animes and cartoons account where i just yoinked stuff from google images lmfao

[mossflower-deactivated20241211]

how am i supposed to use any other social media site. which other site has a userbase so commited to the bit that a nonexistent movie can trend at no1

[jackalopey]

I just realised that Narvin is a bit like a male(-passing), worse version of Lana and suddenly my fascination with him makes sense

[jackalopey]

Narvin is Lana if Lana was an annoying little man and the narrative made an attempt to condemn imperialism. Also if her people skills were worse and she was a bit less competent

[jackalopey]

I just realised that Narvin is a bit like a male(-passing), worse version of Lana and suddenly my fascination with him makes sense

[hal-o-ween]

Hey are you guys

1. A cat person or a dog person

2. A star wars person or a star trek person

[hal-o-ween]

So far the results seem supportive of my hypothesis, however it has reached so few star wars people that I do not consider it even close to confirmed.

So this is a weird ask but I figured an Actual Welsh Person would be the person to go to, and you've been pretty gung-ho about the language thing. So I hope I'm not bothering you with this.

Is there a cultural consensus on foreigners learning Welsh? I'm American and I don't have a single shred of Welsh ancestry. My family is historically German, and we've been here since the English Colony days, so it honestly seems really weird even to try to claim some tie to German heritage.

Anyway, my point is, I have absolutely zero legitimate claim to the Welsh language. I don't plan to travel to Wales in the foreseeable future. I have no reason to learn Welsh except that it sounds pretty and I enjoy a challenge.

Putting aside the issue of "lmao it's gonna be stupid difficult to learn an endangered language if you don't have anyone to speak it with" (I have a loose plan for dealing with that, and the experience of learning two languages to "can read most novels without needing the dictionary" level without anyone to speak them with in person already) entirely, do you reckon it's okay for me to study Welsh? I know Americans are really, really bad about just kinda assuming the whole world belongs to us, and I'm trying not to do that here. Especially because Welsh IS endangered.

I imagine your average Welsh person probably doesn't care what some random American does. But like, for people who care about the language...Would it be considered disrespectful or overstepping for me to study it? I don't expect you to speak for the entire country, of course, but I respect your opinion and I feel like you'd have a grasp on what the general feeling towards a foreigner like me might be.

Thanks for your time.

I honestly, truly, do not understand how the discussion around cultural appropriation has been twisted in the cultural zeitgeist to such an extent that people now feel anxiety about learning other languages.

This is not a personal attack on you, Anon - the gods only know that you clearly care and want to do the right thing, and that's beautiful and wonderful and also I will come back to extolling your personal virtues at the end of this post, so stay tuned. But I do want to take a moment here to talk about the broader issue at play, which I have seen echoed multiple times elsewhere, because fuck me what are we doing to ourselves.

Learn. Languages.

That is what languages are for! To be used for communication. If you don't learn languages, you are forcing everyone else to use yours. How have we somehow, as a culture, twisted that into being the less selfish option? How have we done that? I posted my favourite Welsh idiom recently, and someone reblogged it and wrote in the tags that they loved the idiom and would start using it, but they would do so in English because their "Welsh pronunciation would make their Welsh grandmother spin in her grave."

What kind of mental gymnastics is that?

How the fuck do you twist it so badly that you think taking a Welsh idiom for your own and exclusively using it in English is less offensive than saying it in Welsh but maybe a bit wrong? I've literally had people proclaim to me that they're learning Welsh on Duolingo but they never speak it because they're too self-conscious, and they tell me this not to highlight a massive flaw in themselves that they need to work on, but as though I'm supposed to pat them on the head and thank them for... still making me speak English to them.

There was that post where a Deaf blogger received an anonymous ask saying learning sign language is cultural appropriation, as though Deaf people haven't been calling for Sign to be taught in schools. As though a Deaf person being entirely isolated in everyday hearing society unless they have an interpreter with them is less offensive than a hearing person being able to use BSL.

Like, these are not sacred or religious languages. The purpose of Welsh or BSL or what have you is not to perform the Eleusinian mysteries. It's a living everyday language, same as English -

Except it's not the same as English. As Anon here so rightly points out, Welsh is endangered. That means we are desperate for people to learn it. That's how it will survive. That's how we reversed it from 'dying language' to 'living language', in fact - we managed to get lots of people to learn it. You know what is a threat, though? People not learning it because, like poor Anon here, they've been somehow convinced by Western society that you're only allowed to learn languages if you personally have a historic or cultural connection to them that you can prove via six forms of ID and a letter of recommendation from a druid. Or people never using it because they're too embarrassed to try and risk losing face by getting it wrong, or maybe sounding a bit silly, and thus forcing us to use English anyway. Those are threats.

Anon. Listen to me, feel the sincerity of my words: we adore you. We adore you. You cannot imagine how appreciated it is when someone learns Welsh. You cannot imagine how touched we are that you wanted to, that you tried, that you respected us enough and considered us valid enough that you made the effort. Our closest neighbours are the very people who are still trying to stamp out Welsh to this very day. Do you know the number 1 reaction I get, by a country mile, when I tell English people that I speak Welsh? It's some variant on a scoff, and the sentiment "Why? What's the point? Bit useless, isn't it?"

By a country mile. That's the reaction I expect, and brace for, and is overwhelmingly what I get.

So when someone who isn't Welsh actually chooses to learn Welsh?

Imagine what that feels like! To go from not-even-hidden disgust, from outright mockery and often active suppression campaigns, to a foreigner earnestly telling me that they love and respect my language so much they're trying to learn it. Imagine how that feels.

Please learn Welsh. Please learn it. We will love you for it. We will build you a statue. We will bake little Welshcakes with your face on in icing sugar. We will write you poems in complex rhyme. We'll name an Eisteddfod prize after you. We'll name at least, like, three sheep after you. Thank you, thank you so much for even wanting to learn. You're a delight and a marvel and a wonder. Your hair looks great today, as it does all days. You're a strong, independent human being of immense wisdom and compassion. If this were a Welsh myth you'd be a wise salmon the heroes came to for advice. What a fantastic human.

The welcome awaits if you choose to learn

[llywela13]

This.

Snowdonia National Park announced this week that henceforth it will be reverting to the Welsh names for Snowdon and Snowdonia - Yr Wyddfa and Eryri - which is a really important step forward in preserving our language and cultural heritage, which remain under real, real threat. And social media has been full of English people scoffing and mocking and expressing real anger at the very idea of an iconic Welsh location being known by its Welsh name, they seem to take it as a personal insult, for some reason, as if it even has anything to do with them, refuse to even attempt to learn how to say those names when they 'already have perfectly good English names that everyone already knows', so...

You see the challenge our language is facing.

Anon, you are fab. Keep learning.

[becausegoodheroesdeservekidneys]

Was it last year? The year before? I can't remember now - but very recently, they invented English names for a whole bunch of places in Gwynedd that didn't have them. Why? Because shitty cunty English tourists couldn't be bothered to have the entry-level basic respect of learning to pronounce the Welsh placenames that they were visiting. So we were made to change the country for them.

They certainly didn't have the respect to try and learn any Welsh for use in shops etc while they were there.

Nnnngh actually I'm still too angry about that so I need to leave it there so instead I shall say YES we've dropped the English names for Eryri and yr Wyddfa! I'm so happy about that. Wailing English snowflakes can die mad about it lol
