made a post about it on twitter a million years ago but I have this fun fic idea that I come back to often where kallus accidentally creates his own little crew made up of imperial defectors or like kids who grew up on core worlds & ran away to the rebellion bc they were like fuck the empire etc

and it's always changing but I've developed a couple of solid characters in my head I think & ofc it makes me want to flesh out kallus's backstory more as well & idk it's just a lot of fun & I might maybe write something for it eventually who knows

Random post

I did something unconventional at work yesterday. I talked with leadership and was vulnerable and honest and said things I personally wanted them to hear about me and some things I was seeing and thinking about. I did it without strategizing or having a plan, but rather following my gut and taking action on things I’ve been feeling for months.

And now I can’t stop stressing about the potential negative consequences that will come. That maybe I should have just breathed, waited, and thought more about if maybe I should/how.

But the other side of me is proud that I was true to myself, stopped letting things fester and bubble up within me, and took action even if it wasn’t how normally things are done.

Let’s hope everything works out for me. And most importantly, I don’t lose a job.

read a taiwanese gl novel and there's a passage that really stuck with me. my rough translation:

(note: narrator is a taiwanese studying in france and Leia is her french ex)

Translation tends to complicate things, especially the simplest, most straightforward words. To keep it simple, you need to decide what can be let go, which requires various considerations from multiple perspectives. Perhaps because of this, I overcomplicate things that Leia sees as plain and simple, and when she simplifies the things that I think are complex, I interpret her kindness as a form of giving up.

and i have been thinking about languages and translations and how difficult it is to translate one person's words into another language that will get not only the meaning but also your best interpretation of their intent across. and i am also thinking about communication and how even if you're speaking the same language the same word can mean slightly or wildly different things because we all have our own unique background and perspectives that form the way we interpret words

edit: here i am struggling and failing to organize my thoughts into some sort of coherence it's no wonder misunderstandings happen so often so i guess my point is communication takes a lot of conscious effort and translators are undervalued for the critical work they're doing
