Something about movies makes me miss writing, I hope everyone is doing well -- I'm evaluating the current landscape of writing on tumblr (is it still a thing? here?) and seeing where the muse goes. I miss my fellow creatives </3

Wow —- so it’s been about a year or so! Why did I fall off the face of the earth? College graduation and getting your life together in a new city will do that to you. Now that I’ve settled down a bit, I want to come back <3

Right now I’m coming at you from my phone, I’ll be on tonight/tomorrow to see the tumblr updates that undoubtedly messed up my formatting, see where everyone is, poke around the fandom, and begin touching base with you all :)

See you soon 💞

hey guys, I’m sorry I’m so slow on things and getting to replies (especially discord messages). I want to make it abundantly clear that I am not ignoring anyone, or have disconnected from friendships in any way. classes and work now take up the majority of my time whereas before I had all this free time. my hope is that this week I can establish good habits so I can do more than like 5 replies in a week. I am so sorry if I have caused anyone worry, I am just really busy figuring out the first of the semester. I love all of you so, so much.

         the Force feels strange in a way he had never experienced before, seemingly dragging them from two different points in the galaxy to one spot. all thoughts of this being a trick of the mind — or better yet, and equally as likely, a Force vision — fly out the hatch as he realizes that this is very real, and not a vision of some past, present, or future event. though not as adept at Force vision likes others before them, he knew that it was impossible to interact with them in such a way as he is with the visage in front of him right now.

         ❝  and you’re right, i wasn’t on board.  ❞   bitterness taints his tone before the intrigue over this new development blocks all thoughts of i should’ve been for the time being. whatever this was, it was far more pressing of a matter than being barred from a mission.   ❝  this isn’t your doing…  ❞   how could it have been? she was still so new to the ways of the Force, the strength needed to establish a connection like this would’ve killed her, no doubt.   ❝  i’m not quite sure what this is.  ❞   he trails off, looking back behind him as if to make sure he really was still in his borrowed quarters on the Resistance base. everything remained the same, save for the girl standing at the other end of his room with a void around her.   ❝  where are you? i can’t see your surroundings, can you see mine?  ❞

       her     unfamiliarity,       was      a      hinderance      on      her      understanding.       rey      would      turn      to      ben      for      answers,       or      in      time      ( MASTER SKYWALKER ! )      but      for      now      confuzzlement      wrapped      her      features      in      a      train      of      thought.       seemingly      with      no      destination,       as      her      rationalizations      for      such      an      occurrence      lied       in   ‘the force’.        she      takes      a      step      back      in      awe,       curiosity    then       encouraging      her      to      approach      him    with    a      few      cautious      steps.        his      responses      capture      a      permanent      place      in      her      mind,       as      if      factors      added      to      the      equation      would      result      in      a      solution   (  and  yet   they  do  not. )

           “  I’m...”    lips      capture      her      response      before      she      could      break      leia’s      promise.  “  I’m     on    the   falcon.”     calculated      eyes         glance      over      every      piece      of      ben.     it      was      not      as      if      he      was      in      the      room      with      her,       at      least      not      here.       but      had      she      not      felt      the      aura      he      projected,       she      would      have      sworn      he      was      a      stow      away.    “  I..  no   I    can’t.    where   are   you ?”    this is impossible.

figuring  out  where  to  go  from  here  wasn’t  easy.  he’d  thought  about  what  he  could  do,  what  he  could  say     ———     he  didn’t  think  any  of  it  would  really  matter.  to  many  (  everyone  other  than  rey  ) ,  he  was  a  villain.  he  wanted  to  be  able  to  prove  himself,  to  prove  how  he’d  changed,  but  at  the  end  of  the  day,  leaving  the  persuading  of  others  to  be  on  his  side  was  better  left  to  rey.  the  very  person’s  room  that  he  was  walking  towards.  he’d  wanted  to  give  her  space,  but  truthfully,  the  questions  bubbling  inside  of  him  and  the  concern  for  her  had  him  approaching  her  door,  going  to  see  her  without  a  second  thought.

“     ———     i  could  practically  feel  how  distressed  you  were  all  the  way  across  the  base. ”  he  kept  near  the  entrance  of  her  quarters,  still  wanting  to  give  her  a  bit  of  space,  aware  that  if  anything,  she  would  probably  want  the  time  alone.  he  was  silent  for  a  moment,  gaze  on  her.  “ how  did  it  go? ”  if  it  went  badly,  he  was  sure  that  he’d  be  able  to  tell  within  moments.  however  it  went,  they’d  have  to  deal  with  it  either  way.  he’d  been  prepared  to  deal  with  the  consequences  of  his  actions     –     and  he’d  been  prepared  to  do  whatever  he  needed  to  prove  himself  to  the  resistance. 

       a    skeptical    brow       lifts       to       await       his       response.        her        focus       had       been       broken,        but       maybe       this       moment       was       meant       to       pass       as       something       other       than       an       interruption.    rey      harbored      stress      in      fear      of      something      that      had      yet      to      pass      ( their complete rejection ).         what      she      focused      on      in      her      address      was      his      return      to      her      side      in      the      face      of      palpatine,       a      renunciation      of      his      former      self        𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐇𝐄 𝐒𝐀𝐕𝐄𝐃 𝐇𝐄𝐑 𝐋𝐈𝐅𝐄.    ultimately      that      is      what      would      convince      her      friends,       she      hoped      it      would      be      a      good      start      for      the      rest.  

                    “  of    course   you   could.”        a      snide      remark      made      light      in      the      tone      of      sarcasm.      a      flicker      of    a   haunting      memory      could      hear      her    former   whisper    in   such    a   wretched   tone    (   𝒂   𝒅𝒚𝒂𝒅    𝒊𝒏   𝒕𝒉𝒆   𝒇𝒐𝒓𝒄𝒆   𝒖𝒏𝒔𝒆𝒆𝒏   𝒇𝒐𝒓   𝒈𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒂𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒔 )       in      spite      she      would      focus      her      attention      on      ben,       “ it   went   as   well    as   it   could’ve   gone.”     their  faces.    “ I    guess   I   may   not   be   built   for   public   speaking   in   such  a   formal  setting.   maybe   it’s    just    hard    for    me    to    recall   what   happened    on   exegol   so   soon,    you   know ?”     rey    leaned   back   against     the    wall   of   her   bed.     something       pushed       her       to       ask    ;     it       practically       pulled      the      words      from      her       lips.    “ ben,    what    do    you    know    about   𝒅𝒚𝒂𝒅𝒔?    I    keep   thinking    back   to   what    palpatine   said   and,   I...       I’m    curious.”

I am in my last semester of undergrad, so my activity has been hectic trying to balance it all with a pandemic and getting done what I need. 

my new years goal is to establish morning and night routines. I have so many resolutions but its all about becoming the best version of myself this year. I know its going to be transformative for me no matter what so I might as well capture some of that energy and invest it in myself. 

i met bernie sanders once c:

———  𝙴𝚇𝙿𝙴𝚁𝙸𝙴𝙽𝙲𝙴!

so I have rped in some capacity since I was like, 12 (2011). I have seen the community transform and reform itself as a whole (I have been in like every fandom for at least .02 seconds). Which means I am on year 9 of writing on tumblr, I’m 21 now but just seeing some trends come and go and formatting preferences changing...it’s kind of crazy! Knowing I have been around probably too long for my age is like, a thing I deal with, but I am so happy I have good friends to chat about things with now. 

———  𝙼𝚄𝚂𝙴  𝙿𝚁𝙴𝙵𝙴𝚁𝙴𝙽𝙲𝙴!

I have been all over the place and my writing preferences have changed over time. I was definitely in the villain-dark-sad story category for awhile. I think it’s because I prefer angst but for a few years it was definitely my genre. Over the past few months I have focused on my female muses which I love, because before now the ratio was despicable. 

———  𝙵𝙻𝚄𝙵𝙵 / 𝙰𝙽𝙶𝚂𝚃 / 𝚂𝙼𝚄𝚃!    

FLUFF:   it depends, really. I like it but it’s not something I write often. I could use it with the trio more, we love their happiness.

ANGST: still my A1 category, my muses hate me for it but I’m not sure what it is, but writing angst comes so naturally to me as opposed to other genres of muse interaction.

SMUT: I have not written smut anything really in the past? It takes a serious amount of trust for me. so if it comes up in the course of a long term ship heck yes but I can’t just do it casually.

PLOT / MEMES:  I definitely do both to balance whatever creative bs a meme can generate in me or a constructed plot I can get excited about. I am all for the slow burn of things, but I also like impulse so the two compliment each other ! (plots/memes)

She lifted her saber to strike—and reached for the connection she shared with Ben. Showed him. He acknowledged her, and Rey’s lips parted in surprise. It felt different now. The connection was... right. Good. Like coming home. Ben was similarly stunned, and together they wasted a precious moment in this new sharing. This is how it should have been all along. A true dyad. The Emperor and Snoke had robbed them of this.

the more that you say the less i know

i’m begging for you to take my hand

wait for the signal and i’ll meet you after dark

i should’ve known from the look on your face

your heart was glass, and i dropped it

i dropped your hand while dancing left you out there standing

now no one’s celebrating

the sight that flashed before me was your face when the sun goes down

i can’t give you a reason

i never was ready, so i watch you go

did i paint your bluest skies the darkest gray?

sometimes you just don’t know the answer till someone’s on their knees and asks you

your hometown skeptics called it champagne problems

what a shame she’s fucked in the head

you won’t remember all my champagne problems

i don’t like a gold rush

i don’t like anticipating my face in a red flush

i don’t like that anyone would die to feel your touch

when did all our lessons start to look like weapons pointed at my deepest hurt?

everybody wants you

will you forgive my soul when you’re too wise to trust me and too old to care?

everybody wonders what it would be like to love you

i don’t like that falling feels like flying till the bone crush

my mind turns your life into folklore

you know it could never be

we could call it even

the road not taken looks real good now

you can run but only so far

if it’s all in my head tell me now

when did your winning smile begin to look like a smirk?

i would’ve loved you for a lifetime

i know i’m just a wrinkle in your new life

i can’t see facts through all of my fury

there’ll be happiness after me

do you ever stop and think about me?

seeing the shape of your name still spells out pain

your touch brought forth an incandescent glow 

when i got into the accident the sight that flashed before me was your face

i know i’ll pay for it

my pain fits in the palm of your freezing hand

forever is the sweetest con

never be so kind, you forget to be clever

long story short, it was a bad time

it wasn’t right the way it all went down

don’t treat me like some situation that needs to be handled

i can’t remember what i used to fight for

sometimes giving up is the strong thing

sometimes to run is the brave thing

do you miss the rogue who coaxed you into paradise and left you there?

i’m right where you left me

i always felt i must look better in the rear view

i swear you could hear a hair pin drop

they expected me to find somewhere some perspective, but i sat and stared

everybody moved on

i stayed there dust collected on my pinned-up hair

if our love died young i can’t bear witness

       when   his   master   informed   them   that   he   would   be   working   with   rey,   a   fellow   padawan   with   whom   he   had   not   had   direct   dealings,   ben   had   not   been   particularly   put   out,   even   though   it   meant   diverting   from   the   original   plan.   the   plan   had   not   been   to   split   up,   but   padawans   were   trained   to   be   flexible   and   adaptable   -   two   things   ben   was.   he   relished   the   opportunity   to   work   to   further   gain   his   master’s   trust   and   respect,   as   all   padawans   did.   that   this   task   would   have   him   working   with   someone   as   seemingly   capable   as   rey,   well,   that   was   simply   a   bonus.   he   would   have   loathed   to   been   assigned   to   someone   incompetent,   though   that   was   not   a   word   often   used   when   referring   to   padawan   learners.   some   people   were   differently   gifted.   ben   himself   was   well   beyond   his   years,   mastering   things   other’s   had   not   yet   begun   to   learn,   but   that   didn’t   make   him   better   than   anyone   else.

          ben’s   main   concern   was   the   fact   that   this   mission   involved   a   bomb   and   he   didn’t   really   want   to   put   his   life   in   the   hands   of   an   idiot.   she   seemed   intelligent   enough.   time   would   tell.   he   followed   easily,   his   long   legs   carrying   him   quickly   alongside   her.   his   hand   clasped   the   hilt   of   his   blade,   ready   to   ignite   it   at   a   moment’s   notice.

         “i   know   they   go   boom,”   he   quipped,   sounding   only   a   fraction   as   anxious   as   he   felt.   he   continued   on,   more   serious   now,   “i   know   what   you   know.   basic   arming   and   disarming   techniques,   the   general   layout   of   wiring   and   circuitry,   but   i’ve   never   you   know,   handled   a   live   one.”   what   kind   of   question   was   that?   did   she   had   a   lot   of   experience   with   explosives?   had   he   missed   a   class   at   the   temple?

                   “ well        you’re        not        wrong.”        she        quipped,         tone        drenched        in        the        deep        recognition        of        sarcasm.         the        only        humor        to        give        light        to        her      features        was        a        raised        brow        &        a        subtle        smirk.         loose        ivory        garment        trailed        behind        her        as        they        continued        to        the        𝐇𝐘𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐃𝐑𝐈𝐕𝐄.         rey        was        intent        on        accomplishing        this        mission,         not        for        her        master’s        recognition  ( that was a bonus )        but        for        the        fate        of        the        battle.        the        countless        lives        she       thought        of        with        a        mere        consideration        of        defeat        was        enough        to        pick        up        her        pace. 

             “  hopefully        we’re        smarter        than        the    droids  who   put  it   there.”         she        rounded        a        corner,       “ I    haven’t        either,     dealt   with   live  ones.      I         guess        that        makes        things     a    bit    more      interesting.”        she        sensed        anxiety,         but        was        not        focused        enough        to        determine        if        it        was        her        own.         her        nerves        were        live        like        loose        wire,         but        it        seemed        to        energize        her        for        the        time        being.         as        they        neared        the        hyperdrive        facility,         she        formed        ideas        as        to        what        lie        ahead        of        them.     “  why  do  you  think  our  masters  sent us?”   the   question   fell   from  her   lips   as  soon  as  it  crossed   her   mind.   it        sounded        silly        now,         considering        there        were        few        clone   troopers        around        to        aid.         but        she        would        at        least        make        a        quick        effort        to        get        to        know        ben.         who        knows,         this        could        be        their        final     moments.

The Force is not so simple, and neither are the emotions of living creatures. Most Jedi have felt the temptation of the dark side. It is only natural. But we resist it. It is a deliberate path to the dark, not a series of bad days. Being a Jedi is about choosing the light over and over again. Star Wars: The High Republic: A Test of Courage
