This blog follows the general rules of play: no godmoding, proper spelling and grammar, basic respect, etc. As a private blog, I will only be playing with mutuals. There is no offense meant from me to you in this, simply a capitalization of my time. Non-mutuals may send in memes - any memes (headcanon, munday, sentence starters) - and there may be times when I post open starter calls, of which anyone can be part. However, if I am not following you, please do not pester me about this. I rarely write with characters from fandoms with which I’m not familiar. Sometimes I do; sometimes I don’t. More often than not, I’ll go out of my way to research the canon material (or, in some cases, watch/read it) in order to build a better world with you and your character. However, there are two fandoms with which I won’t write: Supernatural and Lucifer. Demons and darker religious material can be triggering to me, so for the most part, I just avoid it completely. I will also be especially picky with Game of Thrones characters, as I have tried to watch the show and decided it wasn’t for me. I can take an extremely long time to reply. This is in part due to the multitude of other blogs I run, but it is also due to whether or not my muse is interested in a given thread at a given point in time. More often than not, I tend to pile drafts and queue a bunch of them at once. (In the same manner, I tend to write a lot of headcanon at once and post them, but those are less likely to be queued.) Due to my work schedule, I will likely only be active on Fridays and Saturdays. I do check in on the other days and may queue quotes or pictures, but you shouldn't expect anything else from me on those days. Relationships will be based on character interactions. I have no intention of jumping into ships without prior threading, as I'm not interested in taking the time to plot everything out only to find that our writing styles do not match or the characters (or their interpretations) do not relate well with each other. I will not be writing smut on this blog, regardless of the fact that Galen and I are both over eighteen years old. All NSFW will be tagged, as will any triggers. If I miss something that you need tagged, please do not hesitate to let me know. I will also be tagging any salt or negativity with the tag [ bandit rants ], so if those sorts of posts will bother you, please block that tag. THIS IS NOT A SPOILER FREE BLOG. Although I will take great care to tag spoilers for Rogue One, particularly for the first two months following its release, I will NOT be marking spoilers for the prequel book, Star Wars: Catalyst, on which I base a majority of my interpretation. Now, the book does not spoil the movie, so you can interact with my blog without encountering spoilers (block the tag ROGUE ONE SPOILERS so that you may avoid those), but if you are worried that knowledge of Galen and his person as in the book may change your enjoyment of the movie, then I would suggest not following until you have seen the film. My icons have a tendency to come from a variety of sources, including hollow-art. All have been edited to match my style. The theme background was created by me, although the coding was not. Please do not steal my work.
“He was always a pacifist. His act of defiance in sabotaging [the first Death Star] makes him a Rebel for sure. He risked his life to do it. In the writing it was always intended as an act of defiance and also a way to unmake what he was forced to help make… I personally love the poetry that in a way it falls to the daughter to absolve the sins of the father. That feels like Star Wars to me."
― Gary Whitta
Stay afraid, but do it anyway. What’s important is the action. You don’t have to wait to be confident. Just do it and eventually the confidence will follow.
my apologies for being so infrequent lately. my anxiety has been acting up extremely to the point that it’s been hard to do…a lot. i’m mostly focusing on that (even though i’m still trying to be active - it’s just harder when anxious!bandit has decided to take over). so i might be a little sporadic for a while.
so i’m going in to work a bit today and then mom and i are going to catch a movie (probably fantastic beasts because we haven’t seen it yet but i brought up rogue one because she hasn’t seen it here’s hoping). when i get on, i’ll probably be working a little bit on setting up celeste (i’m being slow with her...for lots of reasons) and one of the drabbles that i finally brainstormed around some of the issues i’d been having with it (so i just need to write the thing - it’s less a drabble, more a short story)--
so probably not much from me here today. sorry.

The Galactic Standard Calendar is based on the luno-solar calendar of Coruscant (from before the official founding of the Empire). It is the ‘standard’ in both the Republic and the Empire for basic measurements. However, there are many, many variations for various species, planets, etc. This is just the ‘standard’ used; similar to measurements of weight, etc.
Basically, this is not the ‘only calendar’ but the one used most often by governments, the military, etc. to be the ‘standard’. I thought it might be useful for people writing or roleplaying in the Star Wars galaxies to have a rough idea.
NOTE: There is mention in some sources of a 12 month/368 day calendar, but it doesn’t mention length of weeks, months, etc. other than ‘30-31 days’ so basically seems to be a ‘real life calendar’. I’m not 100% sure which is considered ‘canon’ so I choose to list the one that was a bit more ‘different’ for fun.
