additional info:

-> “why wasn’t this book listed?” probably because it wasn’t black sapphic-centric, the author isn’t a black sapphic themself, or i just simply haven’t heard of it! so feel free to add on if it meets those two criteria

many of these books require trigger warnings, especially some of the older ones that are more likely to feature racial struggles of the time. please do your due diligence and search for tws if you want to read them!

please feel free to add onto this list in the rbs or comments! happy black history month

Hello! I am so in love with your Clone Matchmaking AU fic with Fives, and I was wondering if I could pretty please use your wonderful character in an intro for one that I'm writing for Tup? If not I understand but I love it so so much! <3 - Dani

Hi!! Thank you so much! I really enjoyed writing it and I'm so glad so many seemed to enjoy it 😊 and yes! That's completely fine with me (especially for Tup!! I was so hoping I wasn't the only one who had a fic planned for him!) I just ask that you leave a link to the Fives fic somewhere on your post so others can find it ✨💖

[crossroadswrite]

telling a fic writer their characterization is good is the god tier of compliments, and the fastest way to find someone who will commit murder for you

[danpuff-ao3]

Truly a better compliment does not exist. Not even accusations of emotional torment, which I also am fond of. 100% my aim. 100% flattering. 100% will cause tears. Happy tears. The HAPPIEST of tears. I live and die for y’all I stg.

[anxiouspineapple99-deactivated2]

Big facts. Me every time @secondaryrealm says she loves my characterization of Tech lol.

[secondaryrealm]

It's the truth! I adore the way you write him and you deserve the recognition! 💕💕💕💕

[secondaryrealm]

Passing this ask game on, because I love getting to know all you more. :)

List 5 things that make you happy!

Then drop this in the asks of anyone you’d like to pass it on to. No pressure for any of it though! Just wanted you to feel loved and pursued today! :)

Daawww thank you friend! I love all the love going round the dash today <3

spending time with my family <3

dreaming up romantic scenarios with all my fictional s/o's~

curling up in my arm chair with a cup of hot tea

my mutuals! You guys are so sweet and have made me feel very welcome in this space <3

but what never fails to put a smile on my face are my fur babies!! I have two cats and a dog and they're my whole world *pulls out roll of photos from my wallet like a proud grandma* do you want to hear about them??

this is Annabeth, she's 13 but still a puppy, she'll come running from the other side of the house just to greet you at the door and howls if you forget to say goodbye to her when you leave <3

this is Marty! He's a sweetheart, will nuzzle your face if you give him forehead kisses and will jump into boxes the moment you empty them

and this is Binx (named from Hocus Pocus of course) she's old and very grumpy, will scratch you if you try to kiss her but snuggles you when you're asleep

The lungi is a traditional garment worn in many southern states of India. It's different from the dhoti, in that it is a tubular shape (like

Since we are here might as well share the dhoti and the lungi

It’s only men in the photos but really anyone can wear them. I am wearing a lungi right now.

I also know Thailand and Sri Lanka have their versions of a lungi as well.

[littlemissmanga]

So I just saw this amazing work of art.

And had an idea. Go with me here ...

The GAR, to raise money, puts together a cheeky clone of the month calendar.

Best part? Different versions for different battalions and legions.

Can you imagine that notice going out asking for volunteers? Or, what if due to holonet popularity, some are voluntold to do it (they'd be too popular to leave out.)

Like Rex would be voluntold only to see Fives already there on his own volution strutting like a peacock. I can only imagine the silent judgement.

[littlemissmanga]

Adding that Wrecker sees the call and since the Batch is between missions, he's so there.

Rex walks in and just sees Wrecker FLEXING (literally and figuratively). Big boi is just SO ready for his 15 minutes of fame.

Crosshair is lurking in the corner trying not to laugh as he records everything for the boys. (Wrecker got him to come along by saying it would be his chance to prove he is indeed better than the regs.)

[wings-and-beskar]

This is hilarious and I am 100% here for it 😂

Another one to join in willingly would be Gregor. He’d drop whatever he was doing and run to get in line lol. Like, he’s taking his shirt off as he walks through the door.

That boy has serious YOLO energy.

[littlemissmanga]

Too right!

But tell me why I feel like Gregor wouldn't even tell anyone he was going. He'd just show up with an entire dance to "I'm Sexy and I Know It" choreographed - complete with Hawaiian shirt unbuttoned over a Speedo swimsuit.

The poor camera guy has to rely on rapid shoot in order to catch the most ridiculous (amazing) shots.

[cloned-eyes]

kekekeke @therisingdarkness suggested I should make this a new series

[commander-sunshine-deactivated2]

Thank you for the tag @ghostofskywalker !! 💛

Favorite Color: Pink!! In all the different shades

Currently Reading: I'm rereading Educated by Tara Westover, it's one of my favessss.

Last Movie (In Theaters): Black Panther: Wakanda Forever!!

Last Series: I think the last thing I watched was season three of Mando, I've been too busy to start something new gjdfkljklh.

Last Song: Sweet Nothing by Taylor Swift

Craving: Hot chocolate, strangely

Tea or Coffee: I drink both so this is hard. I'll say tea because I drink it more but I love both of them.

Currently Working On: I'm working on like three wips at once. Right now I'm finishing up some Fives art for a series I plan on starting.

No pressure tags: @corrieguards @the-bad-batch-baroness @sugared-tea and anyone else who would like to do it!!

[the-bad-batch-baroness]

Thanks for the tag @commander-sunshine and @techs-stitches 💚

Favorite Color: Green, but none of that lime stuff!

Currently Reading: Forgiving What You Can't Forget by Lisa Terkeurst.

Last Movie (In Theaters): The Super Mario Bros Movie

Last Series: Currently rewatching The Clone Wars.

Last Song: Wonderland by Natlie Kills

Craving: Sleep. Oh, wait, was this supposed to be food? I guess, uh, a crispy chicken salad with honey mustard dressing.

Tea or Coffee: I AM A TEA SNOB (but also, yknow heart doctor says no coffee)

Currently Working On: My TBB Infectious series and my latest clone x reader bingo fic that includes: raging female hormones, a frying pan, Echo's couch, Hardcase's socks, and Fives' goatee.

I'm tagging: @wreckers-wife @tech-deck @isthereanechoinhere96 @oldmanwithashield @ladykagewaki @verndusk @nahoney22 and anyone else who would like to join!

Currently Reading: Nothing actually, spending all my time writing

Last Movie (in Theaters): I honestly don’t remember 😱 must be a long time ago!

Last Series: Currently catching up on TCW

Last Song: Monsoon by Tokio Hotel. Slightly embarrassing, but it popped up in a 90ies playlist and a fic I’m working on features a thunderstorm and Echo so it was a good match and whenever I hear it I have to think about the fic. Started to like that song but don’t tell anyone.

Craving: Mayo. Every sentence with the words “mayo” and “too much” is wrong by default.

Tea or Coffee: Tea. Coffee only with tons of milk and sugar.

Currently working on: Too much and that’s my problem.

The Surge (Echo x Reader, NSFW)

and my SFW vacation stories:

Hunter - Sergeant, Brother, Dad

Tech : Secret Santa on Vacation

Omega and Wrecker and the Space Stork from a Mandalorian Moon.

The challenge is that all vacation stories take place at the same time and place and revolve around my first vacation story Runaway Echo. It’s hard to keep the consistency between them all.

+ goodbye kisses

one day i'll figure out what to do with my backgrounds lmfao. this is the start of a lil mini art series. I enjoy drawing clone armor, and I thought it would be cute to draw all the copy paste boys with lil bucket kisses.

Should I make a poll to determine who goes next??

[sev-on-kamino]

Snippet Sunday: Sinful Edition

Wanted to share a lil preview from a WIP, and it’s a lil spicy, y’all enjoy 😉

Rex, Cody, Wolffe, and Fox x medic!Reader

warnings: inappropriate thoughts from Wolffe

Wolffe is trying to recover from choking on his whiskey. Why the fuck had Rex never mentioned that you were the sexiest thing on two legs? Two legs that are currently crossed, and highly visible, damn near to your ass from his angle, as your mini skirt has hiked up with the motion of you crossing them. He shoots a glare at Rex, but the captain is far too busy grinning proudly at you to notice. Fox catches Wolffe’s eye and smirks at him. ‘I saw that’ he mouths.

“You’ve met Commanders Fox and Wolffe, yes?” Cody asks, and you turn to face them with a dazzling smile. You give them your real name, but quickly insist that Stitches is fine.

Wolffe greets you in his usual fashion, face set sternly, not a hint of the fact that he saw exactly what Cody meant about bending you over a desk.

“Cap, I know it’s tacky to talk shop in a bar, but I would really love your approval on the new medi-droid I’ve been wanting to requisition,” you plead, eyes soft as you fix Rex in your gaze.

Wolffe can practically see his vod folding up and giving you the entire budget for whatever the fuck you want. He watches with interest as you pull up a hologram, and quickly detail the pros of the droid, and how it could really help in the field. Your eyes are shining, and your free hand is gesturing excitedly.

You’re clearly quite passionate about medicine, taking care of your boys, and a total fucking nerd.

He wants to ruin you as of yesterday.

taglist: @secondaryrealm

[secondaryrealm]

I'm scrEAMING!!! What a nice little sneak peek!!! Wolffe you dirty man you, (and Cody you're not much better with that desk comment boi I see you!) I hope a commander has some bite if you're gonna think such sinful thinks about Rex's little medic 😏

You have successfully made me so damn excited for this WIP like 👀👀👀👀
