[shadowlight17]

Been a while since I posted on tumblr, but this seems fun and a nice excuse to get back into it!

Last Song: Living a Lie by The Amazons Song I stumbled across on Instagram and liked haha

Honestly though, the song I've had on repeat is Cosmic Love by Florence + The Machine

Currently Watching: A variety of anime shows lol Current and most recent one is Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood. Though a few others on the list include Witch Hat Atelier, Ascendance of a Bookworm, Naruto (very slowly), Daemon's of the Shadowrealm, and rewatching Star Wars: The Clone Wars for the seventeenth time.

Currently Reading: Do webtoons count? I'm not really working on any books at the moment, though I do want to get back to it. Last actual book (no pictures) that I read was For Whom the Belle Tolls by Jaysea Lynn.

For webtoons, I'm reading Omniscient Reader, Noble in Name, Vulgar at Heart. Dare I Hope... few others like that.

Current Obsession: That's a loaded question. Star Wars, as always. Writing, LEGOs, Dungeons and Dragons and Pathfinder for TTRPGs, watching anime, playing games like Genshin Impact, Final Fantasy XIV, Baldur's Gate 3.

Currently Working On: Learning how to make armor out of foam for Star Wars Celebration next year. Learning how to be a Twitch streamer. Helping my sis and BIL with house improvements/organization. Writing the next chapter in my fanfics. Decluttering my own piles of junk. Ye, just a few things!

Currently Wearing: Jeans in an olive greenish color, base layer white tank, and a button-up How To Train Your Dragon shirt that's unbuttoned lol

Last Google Search: The Patriot (which is a 2000s film?) was trying to find out what movie my dad had suggested we watch while hanging out to celebrate July 4th. still not quite sure it's the one i found but seems interesting? More of entertainment than anything else

Favorite Flower: I don't know that I have one? I'm allergic to pollen (and most everything outside idk why) so I've not really ever been like "YEAH THAT FLOWER" so XD if I had to choose one, it'd probably be sunflowers or lavender, but from a distance. Sunflowers cuz they're both good for pollinators and for birds, but the leftovers can be used for humans too! And then lavender specifically because it's a bee-friendly plant.

Aand here at the end, not sure who to really tag ngl. Some random moots for if they wanna? @unknownech0 @undercoverprincessmandy @ionfusionpunk @fatally-splendid @illiodart @littledumplingwrites

alright I've got to do some quick math to explain attitudes towards AI to my boss.

we're looking to create an AI policy, and when we were talking about this, my boss (older millennial) was genuinely shocked to hear that younger people do not (seem) to view AI positively (a la the recent commencement speakers being booed)

Commissions for @shadowlight17! First is of their clone oc Brayden and Wolffe in a modern!au. The second is their FFXIV oc Halite putting a flower in @unknownech0 's oc Echo's hair.

[stealingpotatoes]

rereading your own fics/wips is a very slippery slope into finding out you actually have to finish your fics if you want them finished

[ionfusionpunk]

Commissions Are Open! :D

Heyo! So, I'm finally ready to open commissions. I mentioned the sketch idea in my original interest post, but if you want more details I can provide ^^

For everyone who spread that post, thank you thank you! I'm so glad to know that people are interested in this funky l'il idea I had haha. Yall are total gems!

Anyway, here we go! Below are the example images with their pricing. I used the process of one single image just so you can see what each looks like in context. If you have questions or want to commission me, please just DM me! I'm so so excited to kick start this process and see what becomes of it. ^^

[shadowlight17]

Hey y’all! Been a little bit since I posted.

Life has been busy, but I’m hoping to become more active again.

With Pride Month not too far away, I’m gearing up for some fun with it! I am a writer and a fiber artist. With that in mind, I’d love to be able to celebrate Pride and share some of that creativity!

If you would be interested in a crochet amigurumi plushie either with subtle pride or loud and proud pride colors, engage with my post a bit!

I’d love to hear what you all would think regarding which animals would best represent the queer community’s identity!

For example, I’m currently working on an asexual crochet hedgehog with an in between subtle and loud and proud design.

Love to see what your thoughts are! My hope is to potentially even offer some sort of “pay for shipping only” commission thing with this lineup of animals! Thanks all!

[ionfusionpunk]

Okay, so, I work at a school, and summer break is coming up. I won't get a paycheck for about 3 months, and I already only work part time, so I'm thinking about finally doing commissions. I have to create a portfolio from scratch since I've been working so hard on my art style, but I'm okay with that lol.

I do have a question, tho, and I'd REALLY appreciate it if you circulate this around as a kind of interest check.

Would yall be interested in like, commissioning rough sketches? Like, $5 a piece, but a basic sketch that you can trace, color, and/or clothe however you want? I've never seen it done before, but I know sometimes all I've wanted is a reference sketch or something I can just play around with 🤔

Anyway, also have this Fives sketch/study I did as a sort of example what I can get up to lol. It's really heckin pale I know but I swear that's just bc I was playing with my watercolor brushes lmao

Check out the details, including how to get in my queue, to terms and conditions, below the cut. I’ve also got a Ko-fi and even just reblogging helps!

All kinds of support are very much welcome and appreciated!

Use the generic clonecest or cloneship tag so those of us who don't want that nasty garbage in our tags can block it.

Hi! I thought I did, however I might’ve missed it. Thanks for letting me know!

For future reference and *especially* if you follow me, use kinder language to let me know that there’s a tag I missed.

I believe in curating and avoiding the things on the internet that I don’t want to see so it’s no issue to me that you want to avoid something I enjoy. No skin off my back ☺️ but using language such as the above ask becuz you’re salty you saw something that *MIGHT* have a snippet of cloneshipping or clonecest in it does not generate any goodwill. Small bits of kindness go a long way and I will never forcibly submit anyone to something they don’t like.

If cloneshipping and clonecest are really not your mojo or cup o’ tea, you should probably block “cloneshipping events” “cloneshipping Big Bang” and any other tags like that if you don’t want to see it.

Have a lovely day all of you and please be kind to each other! Even and especially if you don’t agree with them!

Summary:

Boss has an Unusual Defect, one that makes it seem like he can travel back in time to a point in the past. Usually, once he has been healed up at a bacta tank dispenser. One of the things that he realizes is, not only is he shifting through time, he is shifting through Alternate Dimensions and Timelines, most of them are very similar to the ones that he originally came from, and some of them are very different. But as a Commando, he was trained to roll with the punches, and flying blaster bolts, and is determined to keep his squad alive. No matter how many times he has to die in order to get a happier ending.

Snippet and Sneak Peek below!

Visit Original Link

He... pauses and listens, asking questions and slowly following after Sev. Quiet and determined- and interested in that cure- and offering his help, in what little can, what with knowing only enough medical stuff to patch himself and his vode 'e up mid- and post-battle.

Still- Sev encouraged his interesting Other Things- rather than eyeing his blaster with the desperate gaze that he's seen in other vod'e- he's still on Being Watched- for... Suicidal Ideation. Just in case. Boss listens and learns much as the geneticists allow him to of the testing and what they are doing- them finding the Cure- and then later a shelf-stable version of it.

One that he very studiously learns how to make- his joints, oh, how they ache and crack, even though getting the rapid aging cure helps, he is still suffering the after-effects of the rapid aging, before it had been shifted to normal nat-born aging rates for a near-human species.

Still- during one of the times that they are helping the Rebels out with administrative tasks, teaching tactics, and whatnot, which helps them, most of these nat-borns are very painfully civilian.

It's interesting, teaching other skills to fight and defend and tactics to kill and harm. Then the alarm klaxons ring, and as the Empire descends on them, Boss makes sure to help others evacuate and fight.

He sees Sev get dragged on a transport- who turns to look- eyes widening in alarm as he sees Boss not on the ship as the last transport takes flight while he is still on the ground- Sev is trying to move there is noise and light and heat and pain... light, darkness, and a howling silence.

Boss's eyes snap open and his eyes flicker around swiftly as he tries to assess where he is, when it is, and what's going on. He mentally frowns as he looks around, everything seems... bigger- and he notices the harsh white walls and blinding- not blinding lights.

Kamino. Why the kark is he all the way on Kamino? That doesn't make sense- he should be somewhere in Kashyyyk not on Kamino. Perhaps it was because it had been so long since he had done a Return?

Hm... Finishing using the bacta tank dispenser on Kamino he walks- almost wobbling, Sweet karking force how young is he? He finds a mirror and sees a cadet just barely out of decanting peer at him in the mirror.

Well, kriff. He's back years in the past- before the start of the War, and well before the Rise of the Empire- and the fall of the Republic. Which had been more decaying into the Empire- but alas, such quibbles are for those that care about politics and mega-conglomerations.

One of the first things that the tubie-cadet Commandos are taught is how to use the bacta tank dispensers. The only times they are sent to the medics are for is when they get shots and their annual medical checks that all vod'e have to take.

[shadowlight17]

I love it far too much! 😂

[shadowlight17]

Okay I know I’m usually a Star Wars blog and usually in that fandom, but I’m a Tolkien-nerd as well. Would…someone PLEASE tell me if they would honest to goodness join a The Mellon Chronicles discord server because *PLEASE*. Reading that fanfiction series was an integral part of my fanfiction journey. If I could? I’d love to say thank you to the original authors 😭😭 but yeah…fellow Tolkien nerds and Mellon Chronicle loving peeps, would you join it? Does one exist?!
