Hey there, friend 🌻 You can call me Light or Lightwise ✨ This is my little corner of Tumblr mostly dedicated to Star Wars (especially the Bad Batch, clone boys, Ahsoka, and Obi-Wan). I am a photographer and writer in my early thirties who spent her childhood telling stories to herself while riding her bike in circles around her driveway. Little did I know at the time that would be considered fan fiction and that however many years later I would find myself nerding out in the Star Wars fandom and loving every second of it ✨
I write a lot of in-depth analyses and musings, which are tagged with #somelightramblings (for a touch of irony, because they are usually anything but light or short :D).
My image edits are tagged with #somelightedits
My fics/writings are tagged with #lightwisewrites
My fic recommendations are tagged with #somelightreading
I currently do not take fic requests but you can find my writing (a mix of one-shots and long-form WIPs) on here as well as on AO3.
Reblogs and comments are always appreciated 🤗 and feel free to use my edits for headers or PFPs with credit!
This blog contains both SFW and NSFW content, so minors DNI, 18+ only please and thank you 👀

Btw, I talk mainly about Star Wars with an emphasis on my favorite Bad Batch Boys, but I love many other fandoms/shows/books as well and welcome any conversations/sliding into my DMs to discuss them or other random (SFW) topics!
Narnia (my first fantasy love) | Mystery of Aaravos (The Dragon Prince) | Gilmore Girls | Marvelous Mrs. Maisel | A Series of Unfortunate Events | Shadow and Bone | LoTR | TrollHunters | Gravity Falls | Studio Ghibli | Anything Jane Austen or 18th and 19th century literature | Sound of Music | And whatever you want to talk about! My Asks are always open!

My Fics
🫣 Plan 99 - Short one-shot fic from Tech's perspective. I wanted to show the thoughts that must have been running through his mind as he fell. The love he has for his family. The peace he has in his decision. (from the season finale of TBB season 2)
Tumblr link | AO3 link
Be There - I had to fill in a couple of moments that we didn’t get in S3 E4 - A Different Approach. Hunter and Crosshair's perspectives on trying to find/escaping with Omega and their impending reunion.
Tumblr link | AO3 link
🔥 The Sun Also Burns - Jod managed to escape the Supervisor’s tower, his choices and life path now open before him. But he can’t escape his past, his demons–or an unexpected reunion. Will he finally grasp onto the pinpricks of light trying to break through his darkness? Or will he make another trip around the void he’s been circling before he’s willing to change his ways?

Coming soon:
Compass and the North Star - long-form fill in the gaps of TBB season 2, focused on Rex and Echo's efforts to free their clone brothers.
This Is It for Me - Hunter helps out a friend and finally reveals his feelings for her while camping overnight.
Obi-Wan Goes House Hunting
Bound Together by Lawlessness - Obi-Wan and Bo-Katan
Collaborations:
🔥 Sharp Edges - (with @spicy-clones) (ALL of the spiciness, minors do NOT read!)

Coming soon: Pabu Wedding (with @drafthorsemath)
Inspired by other fics:
The Adventures of Gonky the Cat - Slight spoiler, Gonky is a cat in the modern AU fic Roasted, Brewed, & Served with Attitude (see description below), and I decided to write his backstory/fill in some of his adventures. This is a WIP, currently there are no spoilers in it, but eventually there will be some chapters that give spoilers for later in the story (and will be noted as such).
Gemini Eyes - This one shot fits in as a chapter in between chapters 85 and 87 of Roasted, Brewed, & Served with Attitude (see description below). DO NOT read it unless you have made it that far in Mel's work, otherwise you will have pretty significant spoilers. I had a lot of fun working with Mel's versions of each character, and it's always a joy to write Tech's thought processes and mannerisms.
Fic Recs
Roasted, Brewed, & Served with Attitude - by MelMorganne99 over on AO3. It's a clever, emotional, modern AU with Crosshair x OC (and one of the best OC characters I've ever read). This fic helped me understand and appreciate the nuances of Crosshair's personality and emotional journey, and has given me endless writing inspiration. And the author is one of the kindest, most engaging people I've ever met online. Please, please, please do yourself a favor and read it. There are 99 chapters but they're on the short side and full of snarky humor and sometimes surprising cameos. This is a full blown fix it fic too, although not always in the ways you might expect!
The Vacation - by @staycalmandhugaclone is one of the best Crosshair fics (and smut fics in general) I've ever read. The writing style haunts me and both Crosshair and the OC are beautifully characterized.
More will be tagged soon!

FETCH MY SMELLING SALTS! THE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN THESE TWO IS INSANE! The way he looks at her with so much gentleness and tender longing.
I have a sneaking suspicion that the Geum Gang Go doesn’t come with the impossible itch to make half-monkey demigod babies with Sam Jang. Soobori said that GGG’s magic was about blissful obedience, confinement and the need to protect SM, so physical desire is NOT part of the deal. And if someone still thinks it’s because of the “blissful obedience” than why does Son Oh Gong want to continue even when he doesn’t have to? Why is he so extremely pissed at the demon for interupting them? Why is he so disappointed when SM tells him they won’t continue? Actually in retrospect, Oh Gong has been providing a lot of premium and extra services to Seon Mi, waaaaaaay above his original assignment.
I almost pity everyone who ever dare to cockblock him.
While episodes 3 and 4 were in many ways a prolonged set-up, these following episodes reap the fruits of that preparation because they really move the story foward in a big way, be it character and relationship development or the tension and higher stakes. Both episodes are filled with proofs that the powers of GGG are in fact limited and that Oh Gong’s emotions and feelings for SM are real VERY REAL.
