@plokoonsdisapprovingeyebrows
I'm trying to get the kel dor conlang word list to 2000 entries - anyone wanna help me? XD I need stuff to translate, random words, anything!
I might go through Plo's dialogue and translate a bunch, seeing as his original TCW concept was going to be speaking Kel Dorian instead of Basic...
I should prob share the spreadsheet link, shouldn't I? XD

Mightiest of mighty beans
Enrichment for the keepers, too!
The narration is worth having the sound on.
So... Phoenix Koon serving koont 👀
I was reading "Where Angels Fear To Tread" by Kemmasandi, MlleMusketeer and squireofgeekdom and came across this scene where they referred to Plo Koon as such:
I then proceeded to joke about how hot, I mean, cool- he would look dressed as Phoenix. The answer is: very karking much, so I decided to recreate some comic covers in a frenzy and they came out quite accurate if i say so myself.
1. 2. 3. 4. (Cannot put the pics because Tumblr flagged them when I saved them in my drafts because it hates boobs apparently💀✋🏻)
Btw Wolffe as Cyclops works so much!? Didn't want to give him a visor so i gave him one laser eye😉✨️
You know the idea of a secret magical world kind of loses its appeal as an adult because you realize that a) everyone is terrible at keeping secrets and b) there are parts of society you never think about that have all of their own secret rules and jargon but they’re like. Electricians.
There are in fact entire layers of society that you never see or think about that have strange technology but they’re all like transportation logistics or the one guy who supplies dirt to baseball teams.
I think if there was going to realistically and successfully be a secret underground society of magic users they’d have to not even be trying to hide. There’s gotta straight up be an office for the witch’s union in a strip mall somewhere that nobody ever wonders to question why it’s there until they apply for like an accounting job there.
Wait witches are real? *sigh* yes we get that question a lot. Now, do you have any other questions before we get started? No? Okay why did you leave your last job?
This would honestly make such a good concept for an urban fantasy story.
I should introduce my USS Interpreter character too! This is Chief Engineer Lt Commander Piper Hawthorne, who I’ve described as Lobot’s bitchier little brother, my gremlin bastard man, known safety stickler with a soft spot for superheroes and lotr, and resident paranoid android cyborg.
check under the cut for how he’s… uh… coping, with some of what I put him through in his backstory

Master Tyvokka and his Padawan Plo!
RIP Tyvokka, you would have loved the Wolfpack.
:(
the nearest depiction of an animal or other sentient fantasy creature to you at this moment comes to life right where it is (i.e. cat photograph, shark plushie, dragon painting, etc)
what happens to you
i am so dead
i need to go to the hospital
maybe a few things to be looked at but i’m fine in the end
i’m totally fine
i’m totally fine and i’m happy
my situation is really really really specific lemme tell you about it
n/a
assume it doesn’t know you (unless it’s actually a specific animal you’ve met) and that it’s normal for its species and would do whatever was natural for it. including being too giant for and destroying the room it’s in. as well as dying immediately if its environment can’t support its life
FIC: Where Angels Fear To Tread
>> Chapter 1: The Detritus of Empire >> Chapter 81: You May (Also) Test That Assumption At Your Convenience
Rating: T Fic Contains– star warstrek crossover, a whole lotta culture clash, discussion of genocide and war and other canon-typical topics, Jedi culture/worldbuilding, and the authors playing fast and loose with both canons.
THEN: In the midst of the Clone Wars, a newly-minted Jedi Knight vanishes, suspected of defecting. But the woman brought back to face the Council is not Knight Tulin, but an officer of an extragalactic organization that calls itself ‘Starfleet’. Curiosity, and a determination to rectify the mistake, drive Plo Koon to take the lost Commander Chester under his wing. But between Republic Intelligence’s sinister interest in their extra-galactic visitor, the growing Separatist determination to capture her for themselves, and the good Commander’s own determined escape attempts, keeping Chester alive is hard enough–let alone getting her home. NOW: In the horrific wake of Order 66, a badly injured Plo Koon stakes his survival on one last desperate hyperspace jump, to a mysterious anomaly that might offer hope for him–and for what little remains of the Jedi Order. For Captain Diane Chester, Plo’s arrival is confirmation of all her fears. Now, she’s got to keep the Empire’s grubby hands off the Alpha Quadrant with only one ship, one Jedi, and that greatest Starfleet tradition–a hell of a lot of showmanship.
…
In this chapter: *Imperial March starts playing in the background*
We are into the final story arc in this fic and it's all coming together, baby! :D Quinlan, Ahsoka and Rex are here now, which is great because Tarkin is also here with a bunch of warships. Time to see what the Interpreter and the Triumphant can do against the Imperial forces...
reminder to worldbuilders: don't get caught up in things that aren't important to the story you're writing, like plot and characters! instead, try to focus on what readers actually care about: detailed plate tectonics
cuties for @/kemmasandi on bksy! 💜
comm info here!
they will never convince me to take fuck out of my star wars fics. i'm fine with throwing in some kark and kriff and osik and shab whatever that's all well and good but they will have to pry the real life swear fuck from my cold dead hands. kark simply does not hit the same and canon can eat dirt when i've decided it's time for commander cody to say "what the fuck are you talking about sir" or some shit equivalent
You can pry fuck and shit and ass and god damn it out of my cold dead hands
A 2,000-Year-Old Pompeii Garden Springs Back to Life
The Pompeii Archaeological Park has recreated an ancient perfume garden—right down to its antique roses.
A garden once flourished in Pompeii. There, alongside a typical row house, olive trees, roses, and vines blossomed, nourished by hand-carved irrigation channels. The entrance to the site bore the Latin inscription “Cras Credo,” translated to “Credit will be offered tomorrow,” a touch of Pompeiian humor. The Vesuvius eruption in 79 C.E. wiped out the grounds—but preserved hints of its purpose.
Now, a new garden is taking root the same spot. The Pompeii Archaeological Park has just unveiled the restored Garden of Hercules (so named for a statue of the mythical hero uncovered at the site), freshly planted with 1,200 violets, 1,000 ruscus plants, and 800 antique roses, as well as vines and cherry and cotton apple trees. The botanical display is intended to mirror how the garden appeared 2,000 years ago, based on the findings of botanist Wilhelmina Jashemski, who identified pollen, spores, and plant fossils in the area in the 1950s.
“In Pompeii, the natural and archaeological landscape are one,” Gabriel Zuchtriegel, the park’s director, said in a statement. “The green of Pompeii, which was once perceived as a management and maintenance problem, an element almost separate from archaeological structures, is now recognized as an essential component of archaeological areas, as well as of the largest agricultural project of the Park.”
Located on Regio VIII, Insula 2 of the archaeological park, the house joining the garden was uncovered in 1953 before the rest of its grounds was excavated in 1971–72, with further studies carried out in the ’80s. Researchers found that the house was rebuilt following a 62 C.E. earthquake, with its owner buying surrounding land to plant the garden.
In the garden, archaeologists discovered holes in the earth that once held the roots of olive trees, impressions left in the soil by vine trellises, and biological traces of roses. Numerous perfume bottles found on the site indicate the garden was once involved in the commercial production of perfume. Flowers would be pressed with olive oil or grape juice, researchers found, before the concoction was bottled and sold.
Also significant was the discovery of an ancient irrigation system, which allowed gardeners to water the plants through a hole in the wall, without having to enter the site. The water would then flow through channels that wound their way around flower beds, or pool in reservoirs created by earthenware pots, or dolia, situated around the grounds.
“If a gardener needed to give extra water to a plant, they could take it from a dolia,” historian Maurizio Bartolini told the London Times.
Bartolini, who worked on the replanted garden, believes that the garden’s owner might have been experimenting with scents at the site, as opposed to running a full-scale operation. The garden, he noted, measures a mere 98 by 98 feet, while creating 5cc of perfume takes some 2,000 roses.
The irrigation system has been recreated for the Garden of Hercules, its troughs meandering across the new beds. A terracotta statue of the Greek legend has also been reproduced, installed in a small nook next to an outdoor dining space.
“This was a productive place,” Zuchtriegel told the Times of the space, “but also really beautiful.”
The recreated garden is part of Pompeii Archaeological Park’s efforts to shed light on daily life in the ancient Roman city before its destruction. Also currently on view at the site is “Being a Woman in Ancient Pompeii,” an exhibition that delves into the lives, roles, and activities of Pompeiian women.

Y’ever read something and have understanding that has eluded you interminably suddenly stop, curl up, and snuggle neatly into a fold in your brain because a new way way opened to it?
I've seen this passed around a few times, and I have one thing to say:
It's online. The book was carefully and wonderfully recreated online by hand. You can find it here. The entire book is this easy.

HYPED HYPED THERE'S A SOUTH AMERICAN ANIME IN THE WORKS MADE AND FOR SOUTH AMERICANS Its so rare to see southam animation let alone one that has mythos!!!!!!! HYPED It looks like it is made from a studio based in Peru name Ninakami. The anime takes a lot of inspiration from the indigenous Quechua influences and other Andean and regional cultures. It even uses the indigenous language in its tittle! 🔥"APUKUNAPA KUTIMUYNIN- El Regreso de los Dioses/ Return of the Gods "🔥
You can watch the trailer here!

It's utterly magnetic when a character's rage is quiet and precise. When they don't scream and throw things but they just b r e a t h e and very very calmly aim their fury like an arrow shooting inexorably towards the target of their wrath. It captures my attention, I lean in close, I wait for the hit. It never disappoints.
