Okay. First attempt at making Obi-goa’uld from “A Star to Steer By”, a brilliant Star Wars/Stargate SG1 crossover by dogmatix and norcumi http://archiveofourown.org/works/3514793?view_full_work=true
Number of things I think should be changed. He might need to be a bit longer for one. Somehow his length shrunk after I’d sewn the pieces together. Whoops.
He’s made of fleece and is very soft and cuddly… if you dare to cuddle a goa’uld, even if it is supposedly friendly.
Star Wars - The Silly AU
I thought I'd share a little bit about the other AU I keep mentioning. It all started last year when I asked @artemisdesari-blog, "Would anything have changed if Obi-Wan was female?"
Artemisdesari's response: "I'm not completely convinced Yoda would have chosen Obi-Wan for his fix Qui-Gon crusade if Obi had been a girl. I think he would have been far more aware of the danger he would be putting her on because (for a number of reasons) cultures seem to be more aware of the danger to girls than they do to boys and less eager to put them in that position. It would be an interesting thing to explore, and I have seen it done. Thought provoking too since the vast majority if Jedi we see are male presenting."
The conclusion was that Cin Drallig would have taken Obi-Wan on as his padawan and she would have been much happier and healthier. It then veered into a lot of silly ideas because Obi-Wan had a more stable master and support system. This allowed for a more lighthearted AU where Obi-Wan and everyone, really, has a better life. Thus the Silly AU was born.
I'll be posting sketches and Artemisdesari will be posting some of the stories written for this AU. We hope you enjoy it!

hello i just finished cql & my heart is shattered so i’ve been lowkey stalking your blog to dig that knife in a little further ;) one thing i don’t understand is the repeated use of the phrase “i’m sorry & thank you,” is this a weird translation? what is the emphasis trying to convey?
well you’re a very polite lurker and we have shared heartbreak so you’re welcome to linger here :) (goodness know I do)
for once, ‘sorry and thank you’ is a pretty straightforward translation! 对不起 duibuqi or 对不住 duibuzhu (as is sometimes said in the show) really does mean “I’m sorry” – if you want to get a little more into the weeds of related meanings, it also means “to let someone down” in the sense that someone has set the bar of friendship/respect/sacrifice at a certain level, and you can’t match it, so it’s a mix of I’m sorry and I’ve let you down with an apologetic cast to it
谢谢你 xiexieni truly doesn’t have any depths to probe; it’s just ‘thank you’
it’s certainly one of the most iconic/thematic lines of the show for good reason, though, because much of the central conflict in The Untamed is preoccupied with the question of how to be true to yourself (问心无愧 wenxinwukui / to have a clear conscience) without losing track of one’s accountability to others. The first time “sorry and thank you” really comes up in this show (I think; I’ve only actually seen this show once) is when the Wen Remnants bid farewell to Wei Wuxian and go to turn themselves in at Koi Tower; Wen Qing says “I’m sorry,” both for paralyzing Wei Wuxian and for rendering all of his sacrifice (fighting for them against the rest of the world, going into voluntary exile, destroying his reputation thoroughly, estranging himself from his family to save hers) pretty, uh, meaningless. She also says “thank you,” to acknowledge everything he’s done for them. There’s no way this scene can happen without either “sorry” or “thank you” – neither one encapsulates their feelings completely. “Sorry and thank you,” I feel like really gets at the complexity of 江湖恩怨 jianghuenyuan – the complicated interweaving of kindness and resentment, favor and vengeance in the jianghu world

Goodbye 2024, Hello There 2025! 🥳🎉🌟
Those were some busy 12 months:
Worked on a LOT of fun and diverse freelance jobs
Moved to a new city
Met a ton of lovely people at conventions and attended FMX Conference or the first time (eternal thanks to Robert Hranitzky), what a blast!
Got to wear some amazing new cosplays crafted by @sekuteskacosplay 💙
And yes, also made progress on Tukk Tales...
...although not as much as I had hoped. Finding the spare time to work on such an elaborate no-budget personal project can be tricky...
BUT! I'm as committed and motivated as ever and 2025 is the year I want to take some bolder steps to allow myself to focus more on Tukk Tales, even if it means scaling back on freelance work. I'm in the middle of making some exciting plans and can't wait to share updates with you soon! 😁
Thank you so so much for sticking with me and supporting my project despite the quietness (and me kinda sucking at social media lol)! It'll be worth the wait! ❤️
🎉🥳🌟 HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🎉🥳🌟
(And a special thanks to Luis Humanoide for his incredible Tukk Tales music used in this clip)
Love the art detail!
sometimes people writing about fantasy gay sex are right, actually. just found out that sword oil CAN be used as lube. listening and learning.
As someone who write fantasy, including the gay one, I’d very much love to know how you found that out.
Well... I'm the kind of person who will start reading a fic on AO3, say "that can't be right," and go down an hour-long Wikipedia hole about historical lubes.
Most natural plant-based oils may be used as lube, though they're messier and not as good as modern water-based or silicone-based lube. Just remember that oils aren't good with latex — but your knights probably aren't using latex condoms, anyway.
Historically, a common sword oil was linseed oil, which is natural, plant-based, and food-safe. So, again, a fine choice.
Other historical options include other plant- or vegetable-based oils, which are probably fine. Some also used animal oils though, which is not fine and can lead to infections. Avoid that shit 🙅
For traditional Japanese swords, choji oil was used, which is made from cloves. High concentrations of clove oil can be toxic, so you HAVE to dilute that shit — 1% concentration or less. Once diluted though, clove oil is considered safe and can be used to treat and soothe anal injuries. It also has a numbing effect that could help with rough anal sex, but your ass would hurt like a bitch after the effect wears off.
A lot of modern sword oil is just mineral oil, which, while not plant-based, is food-safe and is actually recommended for use in enemas because it's safe and long-lasting. So while it's not great for vaginal use because it can irritate the skin there, it can be pretty well-suited for anal use.
There are a few modern sword oils made from machine oil and motor oil. Those should not go in any orifice whatsoever 🙅 Always check the label before using improvised lube.
Anyway, I hope that helps! I hope your knights enjoy their fantasy love-making ❤️
i actually did the opposite thing and when i saw people doing Historical Lube Discourse arguing against the use of various utility oils for this purpose in historical fiction i was like. well why not???
if petroleum jelly and crisco are both notable modern improvised lubes from before the lube industry took off, and crisco was celebrated for being plant-based unlike vaseline and therefore healthier to shove up your ass, why would rapeseed or olive oils be A Huge Problem????
answer is, probably wouldn't. op has done a solid job laying out most reasons using A Random Oil is strongly advised against in a context where you can buy sex lube; disturbing the vaginal flora and more difficult laundry are up there, and Condom Issues top the list. and yeah modern 'random oils' are often petroleum products, which you want to be very careful about which ones you apply to your body and how.
list mostly does not include 'these don't work' or 'these are somehow hazardous in themselves.'
there is an element of lube industry propaganda circulating, i think, and a lot of people receiving and passing on advice about what is the ideal set of choices for them to make personally without any real interrogation of why, and then pouncing on deviations from this received norm even outside their own context. not that there aren't also some truly alarming improvised lube ideas out there lmao.
do want to advise that linseed oil is probably low on the list of plant-based utility oils to use for this purpose, even though it's not likely to harm you directly, for a weird reason!
it's notable for its volatility, in the sense of it has a lot of components that like to evaporate and that oxidize really dramatically. this makes it valuable for uses like paint and varnish, but also means that if you get careless with it, it can uh. spontaneously combust.
so if you make a mess of fabric with some linseed oil and then get distracted and it oxidizes and heats up and your discarded pants burst into flame, that's a lube problem you do not want to be having.
as a writer i desperately want an excuse to have someone's balled-up lube stained pants spontaneously combust under the bed, driving the plot forward, but like.
Fantasy world origin for the phrase "liar, liar, pants on fire". They hastily hid the pants and lied about having sex and the fire exposed them.
i don't have anything smart to add other than that i really want people to know: when you see the message "For External Use Only" on toothpaste or shampoo or shaving cream or anything. that's the manufacturers begging you not to put it up your ass. for this exact reason i love reading this plaintive warning and pondering how that memo was worded in the eczema lotion design department.

WHAT IF ANAKIN NEVER REMOVED REX FROM THE SYSTEM AFTER ORDER 66
Like, Anakin might not know that Rex defected. He promoted Appo but technically Appo’s still second in command of the 501st, under Rex (Rex is still listed as a Captain because Anakin is really really fucking awful at paperwork). And then when Rex doesn’t show up, the obvious conclusion is that he’s dead, but Anakin still doesn’t let him get listed as MIA or KIA because that’s HIS CAPTAIN, dammit, and he’s lost Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan, and literally everything else he ever cared about, he doesn’t want to face having lost Rex, too. And he works better with Rex than with anyone else (mostly because Rex has become accustomed to his bullshit and is Very Good at taking Anakin’s spectacularly stupid nonsense and Making It Work), and really he can’t picture leading the 501st with anyone OTHER than Rex at his side.
And then Rex keeps not coming back. But Vader still doesn’t remove him from the system. For years and years. And eventually everyone stops mentioning it to him because they tend to get force-murdered if they do.
So long story short, Rebels-era Rex is technically the commanding officer of Vader’s Fist, and the system still recognizes his codes and lets him in, and technically if he walked up to any stormtrooper while wearing his old helmet, the networks would recognize him and tell the stormtrooper that’s your CO. So if Rex realized this, he could just waltz in and take control of the most feared stormtrooper legion in the galaxy and as long as Vader wasn’t around, no one would stop him (they’d all be very confused, but they wouldn’t stop him). And maybe vader walks up at this point like “what the hell is going on here” and sees Rex and is just like “REX there you are where the FUCK have you been?” and Rex is like “uuuhhhh i had engine trouble on the way back from Mandalore” and it’s been 20 years but Vader knows how shitty Rex is at piloting and really anything involving flying and ships so he’s like “sounds legit”
And then Vader starts assigning Rex new campaigns to go on and dragging him into command meetings and generally treating him as if nothing’s changed since the Clone Wars. So now Rex has to pretend to be loyal to the Empire to avoid raising Vader’s suspicions, all while trying to figure out how the kriff he’s going to get back to the Rebellion with the 501st in tow like he originally planned.
and Vader is still 100% down to leave 90% of the actual on-the-ground strategy to Rex, and was so used to just nodding along to whatever tactics Rex suggested during the Clone Wars (unless he had some Specific Bullshit to add) that now you get strategy meetings going like this:
some admiral or other: (insert planet here)’s foolish insistence on resisting our totally fair resource mining agreement must not go unpunished
Vader: we will burn them to the ground and destroy their cities, leave no civilians alive
Rex: General, I have an idea. Instead of doing that, we do… not that.
Vader, nodding along: ok yeah sure Rex sounds good
admiral: ummm my lord
Vader: fuck you Rex knows what he’s doing
Rex: you heard the murderbot we’re going with my plan
meanwhile everyone’s low-key terrified of Rex because he regularly makes fun of Vader to his face and doesn’t die. Vader lets him do it because it’s such a relief to finally have someone competent working for him, who isn’t afraid to call him out on his stupid ideas. And Rex is like, medium-key terrified of Darth Fucking Vader, and horrified by what Anakin has become, but they also manage to form a salt-bond by bitching to each other about how lax the Imperial Army’s training standards are compared to the GAR.
Headcanon that Rex had a habit of “testing the reflexes” of the new shinies (and occasionally Ahsoka and Anakin) by sneaking up behind them and yelling “CONSTANT VIGILANCE” and firing his blaster into the ceiling. When he finds himself stuck on an Imperial Star Destroyer with a bunch of deathtroopers and an asthmatic Sith Lord and somehow in charge of almost everyone there, he decides, FUCK IT, might as well, and resumes his old habit. Vader is not exempt. Vader is pissed that his regulator makes it impossible to do it back to Rex.
Perfection! I love this concept beyond words! XD
Poor Rex. You just KNOW every time he tries to leave he’s thwarted by Imperials who despite their terror realise he’s a good influence on Vader and refuse any action that might risk losing him and going back to the regular unscheduled maimings…
And then of course there’s the whole “Skywalker” reveal - and honestly Luke is Rex’s best path back to the Rebellion:
Vader: Rex where are you? Have you finished clearing out those Rebel forces yet?
Rex: yeah about that General, turns out your kid was on base and I decided to take the opportunity to “defect” along with my best troops so we can keep a proper eye on him.
Vader: excellent! well done Rex! keep me informed.
XD
Rex would totally be a new Fulcrum agent with this level of access and autonomy in the highest ranks of the Empire. Even if Vader straight up walked in on a transmission, Rex could just be like “Oh, I’m leaving Ahsoka a voicemail.”
Meanwhile rebel command is picking up something like “…three new batallions deployed to the Naboo sector–oh, hi Vader. I’m sending Ahsoka a holocall.” *muffled scrambling for the microphone* “SNIPS YOU GET YOUR STRIPEY ORANGE BUTT OVER HERE WITH THE 501ST!”
You know, this whole setup seems designed to make sure Luke knows who Vader is earlier in canon.
Also means that Vader is unexpectedly confronted with a Luke who knows who he is, who he was, and what he could have been.
In short, one Vader defection coming up!
(Also, I expected this to turn very sad very quick, but it just got silly and fun and I love it)
Hmmm, exactly when in canon is Rex getting stuck with Vader here? Cuz if it’s BEFORE the events of A New Hope, that means he’s gonna be with Vader when he captures the Tantive IV (don’t worry, Rex talked Vader out of the Rogue One hallway massacre).
Rex: Uh, sir, I think you should believe the princess. She’s on a Diplomatic Mission™, she doesn’t have the plans, leave her alone
Vader: Aight, I trust u boo. (To Leia) Ok fine, you can go on back to Alderaan now. We’ll give you an escort.
Leia: *internally screaming FUCK cuz she’s already yeeted R2 and the plans off to Tatooine* Uhhhhh that’s really fine, thx, I have an uh, errand to run first, don’t wanna bother you.
Vader, suspicious: Oh rlly? Well we can come along on that too, I run errands for the Emperor all the time. I insist.
Leia: ok fine if you insist :) :) :)
Leia’s all right and panicked on how she’s gonna ditch Darth Chaperone on a sandy hell planet so she can look for some missing droids and a Jedi Master who’s supposed to be dead, but it turns out to be no big issue cuz the second Vader finds out they’re going to Fucking Tatooine, he nopes right out of there when Rex volunteers to stay and keep an eye on the princess.
Of course this culminates in Leia and Rex finding Luke and the droids, Rex learning Luke’s name, learning who Leia was originally sent there to find, seeing how the two of them connect near immediately. Rex puts EVERYTHING together.
All of this leads to poor Obi Wan getting his hut door kicked down by a very irritated Rex because he has some serious explaining to do.
And that’s how Luke finds out about his father.
Rex: hey random farmer kid can we get those droids back from you
Leia: also what’s your name?
*thirty minutes later, after Rex rage-yeets himself across miles of sandy wasteland to ruin a fucker’s day*
Rex: *kicks down obi-wan’s door* kenobi what the FUCK
obi-wan: ahwhaat the SHIT
This is honestly the best fucking thing I’ve read all day
i drew it
“…but they also manage to form a salt-bond by bitching to each other about how lax the Imperial Army’s training standards are compared to the GAR.”
I can totally see this happening, because it’s Anakin Petty-walker we’re talking about. Judging by how militarily incompetent everyone seems to be in Vader’s eyes, being able to talk with someone not-as-incompetent (from older times, yes, Vader doesn’t want to talk about it, and yes, Rex tried, Vader didn’t answer), might be a total relief to Vader and I could actually see Rex having the same influence as Luke when it comes to stopping Vader from randomly killing officers who, I don’t know, breathed in his direction or something.
And Obi-Wan and Rex meeting again, after all these years? My mind is spiraling.
Rex: so youve just sat here???? for twenty years??? meditating????
Obi-Wan, putting his cup of tea down: No, my dear friend, you see, I have been-
Rex: oh please SHUT UP how are you so calm??? do you even know what ive been up to???
Obi-Wan, realising: …You’re still Commanding Officer to Anakin, aren’t you?
Rex: Yes, at first I didn’t-
Luke, eyes wide open, shaking Obi-Wan’s shoulder: Anakin, as in, my dead father Anakin??? Anakin Skywalker?? The Jedi Hero????? The pilot????? The most fearless warrior that-
Rex, brain short circuiting: Where’d you get that from?
Obi-Wan, blushing: Uh….. Luke, this is not the time. Go talk to Leia or I’m afraid she will break something, your sister seems quite angry-
Luke: Sorry, my what????????
Leia: His who?????????
Rex, looking at Leia, and then at Obi-Wan: a Skywalker?
Obi-Wan, rubbing his temple, sighing loudly: ….a Skywalker.
Okay so are you implying that Ahsoka is also a part of this now cuz I can see that after the whole “SNIPS GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE! TARKIN’S A BITCH AND I NEED A NEW ADMIRAL!” debacle at the communications hub the rebels aren’t going to pass this opportunity up.
And of course, Grand Admiral Tano’s first order of business in charge of the Imperial Fleet is to replace her incompetent top officers with people she knows can get the job done- and if they’re all Rebel “defectors”, that’s a small price to pay for competence, right, Skyguy? And of course, those officers are going to want to bring in their own teams from their Rebellion days, and so will those soldiers…
I don’t think Anakin ever conciously turns back to the light, or defects to the Rebellion, in this AU. The process is so gradual he barely notices anything changing- and then one day he wakes up on a ship completely screwed by Rebels, surrounded by his Rebel friends and family, feeling happier and freer than he has in decades, and suddenly calling himself “Vader” just feels wrong.
Somewhere, Sheev Palpatine is having an aneurysm.
the entire imperial fleet just casually turns into Rebellion 2.0 I LOVE IT
With all the events going on recently I think it’s time to post this image againbc i’m tired of this shit
Thanks, I really needed this today!
