Rating: General Audiences Archive Warning: No Archive Warnings Apply Categories: F/M, Gen Relationships: Female Jedi Consular | Barsen'thor/Male Republic Trooper, Jedi Consular | Barsen'thor/Republic Trooper Characters: Female Jedi Consular | Barsen'thor, Jedi Consular | Barsen'thor, Qyzen Fess, Yuon Par, Parkanas Tark-Lord Vivicar Additional Tags: Angst, Tython, Emotional, Mentioned Mutual Pining, Fluffy, Sad, Melancholy

Returning to Tython after shielding the last master suffering from Vivicar’s Force plague, Aitahea is faced with more struggle in her efforts to heal the Order and keep the Force in balance. Tired, injured, and longing for someone she can’t have, perhaps ever, the lines of her responsibility as a Jedi and her own convictions begin to blur. As Aitahea nears the end of her quest to save Yuon Par and the other Jedi Masters, she’s confronted with painful revelations and answers that only give rise to more questions. Shouldering the lives and minds of Jedi across the galaxy – alone – may prove to be more than Aitahea can bear. Part One [AO3 | Tumblr] Part Two [AO3 | Tumblr] Interlude [AO3 | Tumblr] Part Three [AO3 | Tumblr]

AN: This story follows shortly after the events in Best Intentions and closes out Chapter One of the Consular storyline for Aitahea (and Erithon, peripherally). The one-shot, first-person piece Impending occurs in the interim between Parts 2 and 3. Thank you and enjoy!

Tumblr burned down years ago, and now a tranquil meadow has grown from its ruins

[tikkunolamorgtfo]

Tumblr is that barren pasture in Costa Rica that was purposely filled with 12,000 metric tons of orange peels by conservation researchers. Initially, the orange peels decomposed into “sludgy stuff filled with fly larvae.” This led to accusations that the juice company providing the peels were “defiling the land,” and thus, the site was ultimately abandoned. But when researchers went back about 15 years later, they discovered “the arid landscape had been unrecognisably transformed into a dense, vine-filled jungle... as for how the orange peels were able to regenerate the site so effectively in just 16 years of isolation, nobody's entirely sure.”

And that, my friends, is Tumblr.

Jedi + using the force together

[venndaai]

wow what an incredibly difficult decision

[redminibike1]

I’m thinking about this actually. The death of the Jedi as the visual death of peace and kindness—of bright warm wonder, I guess—in the galaxy. Both sides of the war left in the aftermath using the same destructive tactics, a rebellion built on bodies in the desperate dirty hope that something good will come of it. Those lingering hints of softness tucked shaking behind bared teeth and blood. And then there, quietly, comes a young man. Burdened with pain but not yet filthy with it. A Jedi, in a galaxy that’s forgotten what Jedi could mean. Kindness clasped within his palms and hope leaking from between his fingers like sunlight.

Writing in General (For those who don’t want to die like Stormtroopers)

SlickWrite: Completely free; online. Checks grammar, punctuation, flow, and writing style according to different settings (including fiction writing).

ProWritingAid: [RECOMMENDED] One of the most thorough online proofreader I’ve ever used. Although when using a free account gives extremely thorough feedback, it gives +20 different in-depth reports for only the first 500 words for free. However, you can earn a premium account license (for a year or for life) if you get 10 or 20 new users signing up for free; (if you wouldn’t mind doing so using the link above and help me earn mine, please). The settings allow you to check your writing according to your needs, from general to formal to creative. It has a bonus that you can check depending on the genre you’re writing. For example, in creative, you can choose romance or sci-fiction (there are 14 sub-genre in total). And they just add a new feature, which just like google docs, you can share a document, and people can view, comment or edit.

LanguageTool: [RECOMMENDED] Another excellent proofreader. It also has a word limit in free accounts, but if you use the add-on for Google Docs, it counts each page as a new document, so hitting the limit is nearly impossible. It helps you to rewrite a sentence, even if it doesn’t raise any flags; it’s very useful for when your sentence is grammatically correct, but it doesn’t feel quite right.

Grammarly, Hemingway Editor: No so great, but they do the basic job.

Got to having feelings about this again so sharing what’s still one of my favourite little observations/interpretations/headcanons about Cas and Scourge after they get together (excerpt from my fic Cover Your Crystal Eyes).

“Lead the way, Jedi.”

Jedi. Scourge says it so differently now - and that, as much as his affirmative answer, makes Cas’ chest ache with happiness.

Before the Alliance, before the Eternal Empire, back when missions and goals and allegiances had been nearly black and white, Scourge had wielded the word like another weapon. It was the verbal incarnation of his lightsaber, blazing scarlet against the greens and blues of the Jedi who surrounded him. It was a reminder, always, that he and Caspian were still on opposite sides, and Cas clearly on the lesser one.

Jedi. Scourge used it in the same way he would have said blind, or ignorant, or weak. Never going so far as to cut at Cas personally, but making it clear that Cas was merely the singular, flimsy exception to his otherwise scathing views of the Order. Jedi. He took what should have been a badge of honour, of pride, and twisted it into doubt and whispered questions of why.

But where before there had only been contempt, now there is affection. Endearment. Jedi. Scourge forms the word so tenderly each time he offers it. Even when his voice is raised and riled, wrestling with the feelings he’s not yet mastered, it always falls back when he says it - Jedi. No longer a barb, but a term of respect, an affirmation of Cas’ role in all that has been accomplished.

For the chronically anxious and/or otherwise mentally ill:

This is not a screamer, jumpscare, or any other kind of horror link I don’t know the name of. It will not cause you to question reality and as far as I’m aware, there is no reason it should cause any kind of hallucinations or psychosis. I don’t want to spoil the surprise because it’s DELIGHTFUL but I am happy to tell you it’s very sweet and gentle and also great lowkey stress relief. This is a cinnamon roll link appropriate for all ages (yes, all the way down to babies) and you will enjoy it if you click it. ❤️

The character dynamic and tones of the Willow show feels like an old-school D&D nerd was asked to run a campaign for his niece's extremely queer friend group, so he whipped out his homebrew setting based on a relatively obscure 80's movie, roped in his old buddy, made him tone down the murder hobo against his will and then everybody unexpectedly started to have a lot of fun with it, even the girl who didn't really get it, made a cook as her character and therefore got more desperate story hooks thrown at her than a 2017 Roman Reigns feud.

Yes, that is a compliment.
