Now and then I have a little giggle when I recall that JJ Abrams made Rey Palpatine's grandkid via some sort of nonsensical cloning plot. It's not the worst thing in the ST but I do think it's emblematic of why it's bad. Signifier without substance. Derivative *and* gutless. Tried to rip off ESB without understanding how the Vader reveal works as a narrative beat, gave Sheev spawn, and didn't even have enough courage of their convictions to admit that he fucks.

Like we all know Vader spent two decades pining gloomily after Padmé. But Palpatine? Sheev Palpatine? The guy whose two modes are smiling smug self-satisfied secret smiles to himself and crowing POWER, UNLIMITED POWER? The guy who cackles with maniacal relish anytime he gets to let his hair down and have a lightsaber fight? That guy is a hedonist. Tell me I'm wrong. That man is at all times enjoying the hell out of being irredeemably evil. He is a literal emperor, the vastly powerful and mostly unchallenged ruler of the galaxy, reveling in a victory he spent many years plotting and scheming for. And they had to invent some half-assed narrative afterthought of a cloning program rather than simply allowing us to assume that at some point in the two+ decades between ROTS and ROTJ, that man got laid? The cowardice. The incompetence. The sheer commitment to taking every conceivable L

Hey I found you on Ao3 with your stories about The Boy and I was wondering if there’s a chance we can see an update soon with Hell Bound and Midnight Musing? Even with the last updates being back in 2017? And you possibly already lost interest? Well I’m trying to say that I really like both of your stories and I was wondering if it was possible to see an update soon?

Thank you for reaching out! I’ll see what I can do.

Hello there!! I just watched The Boy a few nights ago, and I've been obsessed since! I found your story Hell Bound, and its absolutely *perfect*! I'm really, really hoping you haven't abandoned it. Do you plan on finishing it? You left on such a cliff hanger and I'm just dying to read the rest!

Someday I’ll finish that fic. I just have no idea when that day is.

You took down your boy fanfic and my heart is broken

All four of my fics are still up on Ao3 and FF.net???? I'm so confused. Where are they no longer posted???

I can believe Star Trek invented the fuck or die trope

i’ve never actually talked to 95% of my mutuals but that doesn’t stop me from automatically thinking “friend!!” whenever their icons pop up in my feed

[nifrequerne]

I often wonder what happened to authors of unfinished fanfictions.

[everyoneinspaceisgay]

I hope they’re having a nice life

[ts-virgil-angst]

we absolutely are not and that unfinished fic haunts us to this day
