A Random Blog

Like I said, just random stuff. A lot of queer stuff. And Star Wars. And whump. And queer Star Wars whump even. He/they

[nocturnalgremlingiant]

Hi, welcome to my blog!

Side blogs: @former-sith-lord-maul (Darth Maul RP blog) and @tomodachi-olive-ltd (Tomodachi Life sideblog)

Banner is a custom pride flag by @c0mmunistduck (whom I cannot seem to tag, but if you read this, thank you for the flag) it combines nonbinary, demiboy, asexual, and aegoromantic.

My name is Olive and I’m a big fan of Star Wars! I love the OT and Clone Wars 2008 the best.

OTPs: HanLeia, Anidala, Obitine. (Partial to MaraLuke but I’ll wait to officially decide until I read some Legends stuff). Favorite noncanon ship is ObiMaul. Favorite ship outside of Star Wars is Gelphie (I swear this ship needs a better name, Gelphie sounds like your eccentric aunt who visits once a year)

Blorbos: Luke, Maul, and Vader

Ao3: TheEarthSong

OCs and creative stuff:

Vice Peridot

And the lore behind her (best to read this one first lol)

I have several fics on Ao3! *Note: Family and Power is not currently being updated, as I have several other things I’m writing. Galactic Kids is also the lame version, I’m planning to rewrite it better.*

You can never make me hate C3PO because i fundementally understand why he is the way he is. He's a character who feels like nobody listens to him, and he never gets enough credit. And its not just because droids in the star wars universe are seen as lesser and he's one of the only ones who tries to acknowlege this only to be mocked, but at the same time Anthony Daniels had become attached to this character, and I can only assume he put a lot of himself into it, by which I'd like to point to how much he suffered on set in that suit, and for what? His performance hardly got any notariety.

[nonbinary-wrath-month]

The common refrain of "transmascs will shit themselves when they realise that T is making them look like a man, not an androgynous femboy twink" has always bothered me for two reasons. The more minor reason is that "man (on T)" and "androgynous femboy twink" are pretty obviously not mutually exclusive categories. There are a ton of cis men with normal T levels who are androgynes, femboys, and/or twinks. There are people who may not end up looking like that when they are on T, but it is still within the realm of possible outcomes, and if it's what one wants to look like, there are things one can do to get closer to one's goal.

The more major reason I am bothered by this refrain, though, is the fact that people who say "why do transmascs always want to look like androgynous femboy twinks?" use this demeaning tone that indicates they have a low opinion of transmascs, androgynous people, femboys, and twinks. It is said as if transmascs are too stupid to know even the basic facts of what they're doing with their bodies, and as if wanting to be an androgynous, feminine, or visibly queer man/masc is inherently a bad and absurd thing to desire. The principle of "some people say 'twink' when they really mean 'fag'" is on full display here. It becomes more obvious when it's paired with overt transmedicalism, e.g., "Why do these trender wannabe twinks feel the need to tell everybody that they're trans?", or "'Transmascs' who want to be feminine twinks are basically not even trans". I can only conclude from statements like this that they think being a "real man" means not being a feminine twink, and that it is unacceptable and undesirable (for a man/masc) to be visibly queer and/or GNC. Otherwise, this would not be said with such derision. Needless to say, it is not the hill pro-trans people should ever be dying on.

"No one is illegal on stolen land"

Said the colonizer who does nothing for their local indigenous communities

[absolutely-normal-lesbian]

The way I knew B*lly Eyelashe was a fraud before she made her fuckass statements about eating meat.

To blame meat eaters for the atrocities of colonial capitalism and ignoring the fact that so many indigenous people have managed to hunt & farm in a non-cruel and sustainable manner for centuries is straight up racist.

If we do not dismantle the capitalist's food industrial complex as a whole, the same harm you do producing meat will be done to produce vegan alternatives en-masse.

Tumblr try not to infantalize, twinkify, and mischaracterize Luke Skywalker to hell and back at any given opportunity PLEASE. I was a victim of this years ago but I learned from it and I wish to god that no one had ever influenced me to think of him that way!!😭

[beyond-andromeda]

^^^ I want to clarify that this doesn’t apply to all dinluke shippers by any means but I see it enough to where I’d consider it a more common theme.

It’s like some of them didn’t bother to watch any of the Star Wars movies the way they miss the mark (ha) on luke so severely.

Gonna go ahead and say if you reblog this I’d prefer you don’t tag it as dinluke. Don’t put a post that shippers would perceive as negative in their space, it wouldn’t be cool. Dinluke shippers are allowed to ship them and portray them however they want the same way I’m allowed to be critical of it.

[beyond-andromeda]

Also also— I really like the idea of Luke in the Disney canon being on the aro/ace spectrum. That’s another reason I both don’t ship Dinluke and don’t want Disney to canonize Mara Jade (aside from the fact that I think they’d assassinate her character horribly).

[nocturnalgremlingiant]

Who’s/who are your “I have a crush on them but only through the eyes of the character I ship them with” character(s)?

(In other words, I do not have feelings for this character, but I can understand why someone might, and when I think about the character I ship them with loving them for those reasons I definitely get it)

[astriiformes]

To be quite honest with you all I do think that aro/ace-spectrum fans in fandoms where people are desperately inventing crossover ships and humanizing non-human characters in order to have a conventionally attractive guy to ship the main character with, instead of possibly having to enjoy a story with no romance in it, have the right to refer to everyone else as cowards.

[astriiformes]

Sorry you almost had to entertain the idea that people like me exist, I'm sure that was very painful for you.

💔 From Gaza… where suffering has become daily life 💔

I am from Gaza — a father whose only goal is to keep his children alive.Our home was destroyed 🏚️,

and we no longer have a place to shelter.We move from one place to another, searching for safety, warmth, and a piece of bread 🍞.

My children go to sleep hungry 😢,and my wife and daughter were injured and are still living with pain 💔.

There is no work, no income, and no certainty about tomorrow — only fear.In Gaza, we do not dream big dreams.We only dream of a day that passes in peace 🌅,

a meal that fills our children’s stomachs,and a night where they can sleep withouut the sound of bombing.This is not just a story of sorrow,but the testimony of a human being trying to survive,clinging to life despite everything.Gaza is not numbers.

Gaza is faces, children, and hearts that grow tired — but never surrender 🇵🇸

So we’re all familiar with the Trans Their Gender thing, you take a canonically male or female character and make them transition to the other gender.

But what about the opposite thing? (No, not taking a canonically trans character and making them cis, why would we do that)

What is a canonically cis character that you headcanon, either in-text or as an AU, to actually be trans? Like “this character is a cis woman as far as the audience knows, but I think she’s a trans woman.” (Or the same for a man)

And because gender isn’t binary, what about some you see as nonbinary or genderqueer? (Pronouns can change if you want, but he/him and she/her enbies are valid)

Remember a few years back and how everyone made fun of Anakin for eating bugs in The Clone Wars? Well, here is the latest sequel starring his own son. Yes - Luke Skywalker eats bugs.

[shovelwareyaoi]

the way the internet has eroded the barrier between creator and fanbase sucks beyond words and while most discussion of this puts the focus on the parasociality aspect i do think its equally if not more important to point out that most if not all creators would benefit greatly from logging the fuck off

[shovelwareyaoi]

if people read your work in a way you don't want them to or god forbid critique aspects of it that is not something you can stop nor should you try to sometimes people will discuss your work in a way that isn't 100% validating at all times and if you do not want that to happen you don't have to put it out into the world at all

[shovelwareyaoi]

and ☝️ another thing. i do think that being terminally online not only makes creators less able to accept critique but also primes them not to think enough about what they need to include to get their point across. you cannot write with the assumption that you can just explain things later online in posts you have to write as though your work is going to stand completely on its own. if something is important enough to be necessary information for your audience to get your point you have to think long and hard about how you're going to go about conveying that to them. and it can't be in posts.
