@maikusakabe
oh my god you're back!! it's so good to hear that you're doing better! your fma-related fics were and still are a formative element of my current tastes when it comes to writing, especially concerning the research and effort that goes into your works. you kick ass and you're awesome <33
This is so flattering? O////O woah, that's one of the nicest things you can tell a writer, omg! Thank you so much, Anon ^////^
Hi there! I was wondering if you were open to podfics of your writing?
I don't know if this is still relevant since it's been a while, but yeah, I'm open to podfics. Also translations, fanart, fic, and anything else. I should probably add a note about this somewhere visible.
Hello, I know is been a while but I are you going to continue colors of the world I really like the fic, and I resently found it,?????
Hey! Yeah, I'm gonna continue it. Can't tell you exactly when the next chapter will be up, since getting back to writing is a bit of a learning process all on its own, but I have content for future chapters written!
i'm beside myself waiting for the book of boba fett bc like. look. it's a disney show. there are certain rules the show is gonna follow for what boba can and can't do as a disney protagonist and that means they're not going to let him be as callous or as brutal as he was in legends. i mean, we already saw it in the trailer: boba rejecting his old bounty hunter ways, seeking others' respect rather than their fear—disney is clearly shoving him closer to a Good alignment than previous depictions.
and you know what? that's fine with me. actually, i'm kind of excited for it. BUT. my biggest sticking point is that i want there to be a reason for the change. i don't want disney to overwrite the fact that, even ignoring his misdeeds in the expanded universe, boba fett was a ruthless bastard who worked for downright evil causes so long as the pay was good. i don't want them pretending he was ~always a good person deep down~ or even close to a good person, bc doing that would invalidate literal decades of characterization just so disney could have another insipid, safe, "asshole with a heart of gold" hero.
and the thing that's driving me crazy is that the solution is so obvious: the silver bullet that would let disney kickstart a believable "redemption arc" while still paying respects to boba's original characterization and expanded universe storyline, just laying out there in the open for anyone to see. it's quite literally written all over the man's face:
the sarlacc pit
like, daniel keys moran, mad man that he was, already did the heavy lifting! he described what the sarlacc does to its victims mentally and it's actually perfect for what disney needs. bc the thing is, in moran's original story, the sarlacc doesn't just feed on its victims physically; it feeds on them psychically as well. specifically on their fear, pain, and confusion. and how does it elicit fear, pain, and confusion?
it forces its victims to experience one another's memories: memories of others' lives, loved ones, suffering, and death. it literally uses empathy as a means of torture.
if you ask me, i think it would be very believable to posit that forcibly experiencing dozens, if not hundreds of strangers' lives, loves, and unjust, torturous deaths would make even someone as hard as boba fett reevaluate his life choices. i would even wager that he might come out of the experience a little less callous and a little less indifferent to the lives/fates of others. which is, of course, exactly what disney needs to mold him into an acceptable protagonist.
see? such a neat, convenient way to give everyone what they want! and with so many interesting directions to take things afterward. is boba still walking around with those foreign memories knocking around his head? does he find himself recognizing places he's never been, knowing people he's never met? are the memories useful? a tool? an honor? a burden?
it's such an obvious, fun solution and i have to wait more than a month to see if they actually used it.
Would those memories include people Boba himself brought to Jabba as bounties? That could be fun to play with.

Buggy’s luck haunts us! Now we have all packages made, our shipping mod’s label printer has broken!
We could be robbed $400 to print labels elsewhere, or wait for replacement parts to arrive. Like the pirates we are, we shall not be robbed, and so apologize and thank you for your understanding over this latest delay. To help pass the time, we snuck into Mel’s place and took these pics of the packages (╯✧▽✧)╯
Anyone around interested in helping me work on a low stakes fic boba/din-turned-boba/leia/din via plot-driven reasons?
I've never done a written collab before, but perhaps that's the solution to turn the words tumbling in my head to a tangible format.
And hopefully collab with someone who knows how the fuck space travel works.
Mando’a help?
So, we know kids can disown their parents in Mandalorian culture, but do we actually know the specific words for that or get to see them anywhere?
If anyone has an answer or knows where I could find it, please let me know?
Been in zine hell lately, and I’m really thinking we need some Star Wars zines :/

Excuse me.
One of the first women to start her own independent production company.
Earned her way to stardom without sleeping with executives for roles.
Refused to date people for publicity just because 20th Century Fox wanted her to.
Left 20th Century Fox because she refused to let them get away with treating her badly and paying her a tiny wage, just because of her “dumb blonde” image.
Was only paid a fraction of her co-star’s wage even though she was the star of the movies and the biggest box office pull, but still went ahead with the movies because she was so passionate about acting.
Studied method acting at the Actors Studio with Lee Strasberg, who said that she was one of his best students along with Marlon Brando.
Had a personal library of over 500 books and rarely read fiction - she was desperate to learn and educate herself.
Was sexually abused as a child but then went on to encourage the sexual liberation of women in the 1950s.
One of the first people to speak openly about sexual abuse.
One of the first people to openly support gay rights.
Supported many charities such as the Milk Fund, March of Dimes, Arthritis and Rheumatism foundation.
Donated her time and money to these charities.
Visited orphanages and hospitals on her own time to surprise the people there.
Married one of the greatest literary minds of the 20th century
Suffered two miscarriages and one ectopic pregnancy and still put on a brave face for her fans.
Sorry, did you say she wasn’t a role model?
marilyn is my biggest role model so don’t even go there
and let’s not forget this
Ella Fitzgerald was not allowed to play at the popular Mocambo, in Hollywood, because of her race. Marilyn, who loved her music and supported civil rights, called the owner of the Mocambo and told him that if he booked Ella immediately, she would take a front table every night. The owner said yes, and Marilyn was there, front table, every night. After that, Ella never had to play in a small jazz club again.
“She was an unusual woman – a little ahead of her times. And she didn’t know it.” - Ella Fitzgerald about Marilyn Monroe
But what does history remember her for?
This is why I love her.
Marilyn Monroe everyone.

Take it from someone who has been around the fandom block:
fanfiction.net is dying.
all the signs are there.
if you have no other record of any fics you have there… you might wanna… like… do something about that.
Whoops. I did not intend for this post to blow up in the way it did. I’m not saying this is gonna happen tomorrow or even this year. I don’t have any inside information, and I’m purely basing it off of past experience. They could surprise us. Who knows?
The signs I’m seeing are based off of watching other fandom-driven websites in their end days.
The biggest glaring red flag: they no longer have any visible active moderation team or admins that are working on Fanfiction.net specifically. Reports are going unanswered on everything from plagiarism to abuse to page-breaking ads. Emails are not returned. Twitter mentions are never addressed.
Based off of their limited Twitter activity, all of their resources appear to have been funneled to FictionPress, leaving Fanfiction.net to flounder. If a website does not have anyone actively attending to it, it will eventually die.
The abuse alone could drive users from the website. When users are receiving repeated death threats and they have no way of curtailing the abuse or banning abusive users from messaging them, users will eventually just leave. Admins would have the capability of blocking the IP addresses of people sending abusive reviews and messages, but… what admins?
The code update that went through a few years ago that broke many old fics was never fixed. Many users are reporting major issues in uploading fics. The more they leave the site unattended, the more things will break.
The domain is registered through 2028, but if they keep going in the way that they are sooner or later it’s just going to wind up as a barely-functioning corpse of a website.
I am convinced that the only reason they leave it up is to collect ad revenue. If users continue to leave due to abuse and unreliable service, that ad revenue is going to tank.
I’ve seen this happen to so many websites over the years, and they rarely - if ever - get a revival.
But again - they could surprise us. I’m not counting on it, though. Nobody’s home anymore.
I would like to introduce people to FanfictionDownloader .
It is a little program that does just what it says. You install it, open it, enter the story URL, and it will generate a file in your preferred e-reader format.
Whether the OP is right or not that FFN’s doom is nigh… I think it’s a good idea to back up one’s work regularly anyway, yes?
The breadsticks thing to me is hilarious I think it must be another Europe/America thing bc my whole life ‘breadsticks’ have been these hard crunchy thin stick things you buy them at the supermarket and it says breadsticks on the box Never in my life has anyone around me referred to an actual stick of bread as a breadstick lmao But then we don’t have Olive Garden either
wait, that’s not what they’re talking about?
Are you telling me this meme is not about grissini? My life is a lie!
I… did wonder why there would be such a focus on going to somewhere with unlimited dry wheat twigs. Googling ‘olive garden breadsticks’ does seem to suggest a tastier thing.
Huh.
this changes everything
I mean, I thought it was odd that they everyone was so excited about breadsticks… but then I thought, well, it’s America…
Wait they’re talking about actual bread???
grissini:
breadsticks:
… I want American breadsticks. ;_;
@goodbyecassiel - this is the Great Breadstick Misunderstanding, companion to the Epic Lemonade Confusion post
@charlottedabookworm my life is a lie
Omfg same
wtaf why did nobody ever tell us they were talking about actual bread?!?!
We literally did tell you. We. We used the word BREAD.
but………… those aren’t breadsticks!
They are sticks.
Of bread.
🤷♂️
We didn’t know you had breadtwigs instead.
OH the joke is funnier than previously thought because those are bigger and therefore it would be harder and more socially awkward to shove them into your purse! Lol
I feel like this is explaining a joke to Vulcans who are totally game to try humor, and I’m loving it.
