The World Tarot Card featuring a self portrait as it was on the last page of my sketch book and I had drawn nearly all other tarot cards into it prior (except The Tower, go figure) I haven't posted any of the other cards, but as this one is my pfp I thought I could do it.
Here is the edited sketch profile picture art.

theo van gogh was the one who suggested that his older brother vincent start seriously painting. as soon as theo was gainfully employed he gave vincent around 15% of his own yearly salary for art supplies, lodging, and food. about 2/3rds of vincent's surviving letters were to theo (including vincent's earliest and last letters), all of which were found stored in theo's desk. theo's child, vincent willem, was born on january 31st, 1890, and vincent was so delighted by his nephew that he painted almond blossoms for him. vincent shot himself half a year later on july 29th, 1890. theo's distress at his brother's death worsened his syphilis symptoms and he died half a year after his brother on january 25th, 1891 (four days before vincent willem's first birthday). theo was reburied next to vincent in auvers-sur-oise at the request of theo's wife johanna.

I'm convinced that "We Two" is about John Lennon. it's the whole vibe, i just know, man.
I wanna add that its the one song that sounds like it has a sound collage similar to the one in the locked groves at the end of Sgt. Pepper's that would loop at the end on a physical copy, and that feels like a Lennon style choice. Can't wait to see if it does!
Was noone going to tell me that Vulcan orbits 40 Eridani? Was I just suppossed to figure that out by myself?
I HAVE BEEN SAYING I'VE BEEN SAYING IT A LOT
random tomodachi trek stuff
i had the earth-shattering (for me) realization the other day that if padme had agreed to go Fuck It, We're Evil Now when anakin offered the galaxy on mustafar, and they fucked off to kill palpatine, there's no way anakin would've retained the name "darth vader." you'd have a seven foot tall mean little salt and pepper shaker in his shambling iron armor and you'd have to call him lord amidala. lord fucking amidala. i know this is true, i am 100% positive i have correctly interpreted these characters in saying that this would happen, but could you fucking imagine calling darth vader "lord amidala"? christ. that's insanity
you might as well call him mr. wifeguy. could you imagine obi-wan slumming it on tatooine when he hears whispers of the terrible dark deeds of lord amidala and despite the fact that he's hearing about how his sonbrotherguyitscomplicatedbestie does a ton of murder now, his first instinct is to roll his eyes literally to the sun and back. ahsoka's response to hearing the phrase "lord amidala" would honestly just be "that absolute motherfucker"
and now for the public forum!
@wingletblackbird you'd really have to reshuffle the timeline, i think. to be honest i insisted he was in the armor for the mental image of calling that guy, in specific, seven feet tall and wheezy, Lord Amidala. i think that's funny as fuck. it also has a vague air of pure insanity that i like. i hadn't planned out how this would occur.
i think the key would actually be that padme doesn't go to mustafar, but obi-wan does. maybe she goes into labor early, maybe palpatine has a last minute idea that if he captures her she'll be useful leverage, maybe he wants to steal As Of Yet Unnamed Baby Skywalkers, but for whatever reason, going to mustafar is thwarted. obi-wan does, and anakin still eats shit in that duel because he's still a cocky idiot regardless of padme's presence, palpatine still goes to pick up his charred sad nub of a man and entomb him in the Iron Lung For Warfare. and then after that there's an opportunity for vader to make his elevator pitch of a glorious reign of terror, and equal opportunity for padme to go, you know what, my sweet metal husband, i happen to feel very evil today. crown me empress, true aluminum love.
i think it's plausible that anakin still loses that duel even if padme isn't there, for a few reasons, mostly being "the narrative requires it" and "obi-wan is too fed up with this new round of bullshit to let anakin get away without something to remember him by" and "anakin is always going to be some level of idiot, regardless of any circumstances."
@celestialily we could get really jiggy with this, if we wanted. i mean we could get deep in the paint. he's batshit, we can make anything happen.
i think he's an epithets man, though, for sure. i think it's never "the" empress but always My Empress, even when he's only talking about her, not to her. and it's never just "her majesty", there's always something sandwiched in there, like Her Divine Majesty, Her Heavenly Majesty, Her Radiant Majesty, all that pomp and circumstance, you know the drill. i think the idea that he talks about her like that even to other people is just so absolutely good. i think i could make darth vader refer to his evil wife as My Angelic Lady and make it work.
so even the normal titles, so to speak, i think have this special deranged flair to them. i don't know if he has a specific one as much as he has like, a hundred and forty-seven different ones he uses altogether. if you've ever read good omens, the book, there's a running gag that whenever satan comes up, the narration has to list all seventeen of his official titles after, and i think vader's like that about his dark empress TM. introducing her like I BRING TO YOU OUR EMPRESS WHO YOU WILL KNEEL BEFORE AND WEEP WITH JOY FOR HER GLORY GRACES YOU.... HER SUBLIME MAJESTY, MY LADY OF DARKNESS, OUR WRATHFUL IMPERATRIX, HER ENEMIES WHIMPER BEFORE HER POWER and someone is desperately gesturing to try and cut vader's speech off because they don't have all day for this propaganda broadcast
a) amidala is the royal surname not her maiden name, and b) utterly bizarre take to have about a character that's infamous for taking a new name given to him by the emperor while literally groveling. i mean i do think based on available information anakin happens to be rather about taking new names from political leaders
star wars movies ranked by anakin crying
revenge of the sith: exquisite, perfect, incredible. he cries at windows, he cries while murdering people, i think he probably cried on the entire flight from coruscant to mustafar. cries in pain, cries in murder, it's really got it all. can you imagine being a jedi and anakin's just drunk white girl sobbing as he decapitates you? thanks for the display of guilt, you deserve it, but dude you still murdered me?
attack of the clones: he murdered them like ANIMALS! the beautiful precursor to anakin crying while murdering innocents is anakin crying after murdering innocents. you'd think he'd figure out he'd be less upset if he stopped engaging in horrific violence, but, well.
return of the jedi: he would've been crying when he saw luke's face without the mask if his tear ducts hadn't been melted. everything is [clenches fist] kenobi's fault
empire strikes back: he probably doesn't have the intent to cry in this one, neither the ability, but i think he was pretty emotionally charged pitching a coup to luke while luke was holding on for dear life. and that kind of counts.
a new hope: i guess you can't prove he doesn't at least look like he wants to cry behind the mask
the phantom menace: do you know how catastrophically you have to fuck up your life so that you peak, both morally and spiritually, at nine years old? the amount of "yippee!!" anakin says, turns out, is inversely proportional to his intent to cause murderous problems.
luke and vader spend the original trilogy, but especially ROTJ, more or less reading each other’s minds every other second, which really fascinates me because the level of psychic ability demonstrated between the two of them is not something we see with any of the other characters. obi-wan and anakin certainly don’t speak into each other’s minds at all throughout the PT, but within minutes of luke knowing the truth, we get the beautiful, son, come with me, and father? scene. when arriving at endor, luke and vader sense each other the length of several ships away, and both of them immediately know that the other is there, and then the entire gestalt of their duel before the emperor is that luke refuses to kill vader because he has magically sensed the good in his father, the “good” being that luke knows, through literal mind-reading, that vader absolutely will not kill him, and wouldn’t have killed him on bespin either. the “don’t make me destroy you” was a bluff.
luke uses vader’s hilariously un-buried feelings about him (smash cut to palpatine saying to vader, “are you sure your feelings on this matter are clear?”) to manipulate him in much the same way vader uses luke’s hilariously un-buried feelings about his friends in ESB, and then leia again in ROTJ, and can i just say, for as much shit as we give vader for being kind of a terrible manipulator, he knows exactly what he’s doing by the duel in ROTJ. he pushes luke closer to the dark side than the emperor manages - by threatening leia, vader unlocks luke’s batshit temper, and luke literally beats him into submission and slices off his hand before luke realizes what he’s almost done. but vader reads luke’s affection for leia, and the truth that leia is his biological daughter, directly out of luke’s brain. no one could read the direct truth out of someone else’s brain like this in the prequels, or else the plot would be literally impossible - the closest we get is maybe yoda sensing anakin’s grief for his mother in AOTC, but that’s nonspecific. this is vader and luke plucking pertinent feelings literally out of each other’s heads. they’re so weird <3
#i love this little examination #you could read luke and vader’s strong force connection as father and son in this and w/ the following: #there’s an old lore thing which some writers abide by– that talks about how jedi are trained to not invade someone’s privacy by sensing too much of their thoughts. but the sith obv don’t care #and here we have a sith and a very unorthodox young jedi #So to my mind luke is just reading everything from vader quite innocently but purposely. and maybe the skywalkers just are open books lol. #luke wouldn’t do the same to his friends but this is something like mental combat. and the prize is not death of the opponent but either the corruption or redemption of a soul. #luke is gambling and even han solo’s never bet higher stakes. #he’s… picking up where padme left off.

Is schlorb available on Poob?
It looks like AO3 scammers are impersonating real users now 🫠
Damn you're right, this ISN'T me
I'm far more unhinged in comments I promise, you can block that acc pal, and everyone who sees it... SMH...
Plus my IG is already a public thing, like, be for real
Had to hold a moment of silence, because I realized many of my AO3 bookmarks had been deleted, because my favourite author has left the platform and orphaned many fics, deleted many more....
Husborth/Jerseydevious you live fondly in my thoughts, I wish you only the best
“I want to write a fic about this but I don’t think anybody will be interested in it” ummm hello excuse me ma’am what do you mean you don’t think anybody will be interested in it??? YOU. YOU ARE INTERESTED IN IT???? write it because YOU are interested in it and YOU want to write about it. fanfic writing should always be first and foremost about YOUR enjoyment, not other people’s.
I know, I know I said I will just shut up about Good Omens, but another thing:
It would be also so thematically funny if Aziraphale and Crowley ended up rewriting the universe into existence from the empty books in the bookshop.
Both beings who have been avoiding their job very successfully for thousands of years now having to fill every report about every little thing, and doing it with some semblance of gusto because the work finally means something.
That would give us:
1. The world being, as has always been , equally good and equally evil because it is written by an angel and a demon together.
2. The correct and accurate idea that books hold all the knowledge in the universe. Aren't there some occultist theories about infinite libraries?
3. The bookshop becomes the 'new book of life', the center of the universe, which would make every time they defended the bookshop with their lives even more meaningful.
4. This world is imperfect and messy but magical nonetheless as it is created from love. The things they know, the universe, the prophecies, action movies, bebop. All of it is now part of the personal collection of Mr. Fell & Associate.
5. Would make their work observing and understanding humanity for 6000 years absolutely crucial in retrospective. That they decided to enjoy the earthly delights would also be crucial for the world to come, a world were things are enjoyable.
6. They could make choices about what to do with heaven and hell. To what extent they are included and how, or if they retire the concept. Would even make sense if some thing just existed as a response to other things existing in a completely different book, everything is connected. It is ineffable after all.
7. They wouldn't even claim authorship, they are just recounting facts and Humans basically created themselves by they cancelling each other out for millenia.
... Make it all a montage or miracle ish in nature for the sake of sceeentime, with them doing it outside of time itself if necessary. To keep the music diegetic, we can have the old gramophone play 'I was made to love you' by Queen, a song that reflects their sentiments for the world and Vaboom!
And! I have the perfect ending:
You know how they ought to keep it safe? but also how much they would like to retire after all of that? Enters the snowglobe: As Angels and Demons are not restricted to the laws of physics such as size and matter, nor does the Bookshop now . They can't leave it lying around to be burned at a whim tho, London itself has burnt a couple of times, so it is miracled into a snowglobe to keep it safe and at hand on a shelf on a cottage in the British countryside.
Keep it visible but hidden.
(and how beautiful would the prop and promotional item be. Share the bookshop, share the world.)
I was debating if I would zoom out to the Earth and the universe being surrounded by an aura of love, like Adam with Tadfield, but I am getting fond of the snowglobe.
