Maybe it’s too early in my days as a tumblr to post something like this, but I have always thought that people HATED the Martez sisters not because they are “flat, boring, or poorly written” as they claim but simply because they are
1. women
lately i have been a bit miffed by the lack of awareness when it comes to queer characters, and more specifically sapphic characters, in the Star Wars canon. so, in my capacity as the patron saint of lesbian visibility, i've decided to quit whining about it and be the one to spread some knowledge
without further ado.....a very long and obnoxious lesson
now let me tell you about them. in detail. through very specific categories
you don't have anything else to do, right?
CATEGORY ONE: GAY. ON. SCREEN.
they're gay. on screen.
CATEGORY TWO: THE A WORD
Doctor Aphra and her web of lesbianity
CATEGORY THREE: HANDGAYDENS
Padme Amidala and her gay handmaidens
CATEGORY FOUR: THE HIGHLY GAY REPUBLIC
all the many, many queers of the golden age of the jedi
CATEGORY FIVE: VIDEO GAYMES
queers from the Jedi games and related media
CATEGORY SIX: GAY FROM A CERTAIN POINT OF VIEW
characters created for or made queer in the From a Certain Point of View books
CATEGORY SEVEN: COMICALLY QUEER
wlws from comics not involved with Aphra
CATEGORY EIGHT: BOOKED AND GAY
characters who are gay in books, even if nowhere else
whew. still here?
thank you for scrolling all the way through this. if you are interested in talking about any of these people or want to know how to learn more about them on your own, my inbox is always open!!
and seriously folks, if you’re interested in any of them i implore you: read their stories, write fic, make art!!! the more we show that these characters are appreciated and talked about, the more likely we are to get more like them, and hopefully more that are even better and more visible rep
Hi! Just want to do an obligatory introduction. I’m a budding fan fiction writer and I wanted to make a blog to better share my stories with the fandoms. Currently, I have stories set in the Fallout 4 and Star Wars universes. Most of it is smut right now but I’m branching out, I swear!
Most recently, I revisited Chapter 1 of what was originally a one shot of Ahsoka Tano returning to Courascant after Order 66 to check up on Trace and Rafa. I beefed up the story, made it more detailed, and added entirely new segments because I started working on a chapter 2 that I hope to finish and post very soon.
I also have a new Fallout idea in the works that I am very excited about. I hope you’ll enjoy my writing and if you do, you should follow me to get all the behind the scenes struggles.
Until then, here is a sneak preview of Chapter 2 of my Star Wars story:
Three days. We’ve been stuck out here for three days.
The Silver Angel sat parked on a desolate plateau as far from any major population centers as possible. Trace kicked up dirt with her boots as she sat on the ramp of her ship. An arid wind stirred the girl’s curly hair and she lifted her face to catch the last of the breeze. Thick, lazy clouds painted everything in a mute gray, giving the impression that Oba Diah was a lifeless rock. Everything about this planet stinks. Trace thought. I don’t understand why Ahsoka won’t let us leave.
“Problems?”
“Fark!” Trace shot up and whirled around. Ahsoka stood leaning against the ramp’s support strut, smirking. “Don’t do that! It’s creepy!”
Ahsoka laughed. “I didn’t do anything! You were the one not paying attention. You’re supposed to be keeping watch, you know.”
“For whaaaaaaaaat, Ahsoka? There’s nothing out here! No one knows we’re here and it’s so boring. Please, can we go? I’m worried about Rafa.”
Ahsoka’s smile faded. “I told you, we can’t go back. The Empire is probably still looking for you, and I’m not exactly welcome on Coruscant either. It’s safer for Rafa if we stay away for now. She’s street smart. She’ll know to keep a low profile.”
Trace let out a sigh. “Okay, I get that but do we have to stay here? You said it was just to figure out a plan. It’s been three days and well, I’ve got one! Anywhere but here!”
“That’s not a real plan, Trace! We need something solid to go off of.”
“Ahsoka, you said yourself that the longer we stay here, the more likely it is that the Pykes will find us, even if they aren’t looking for us. I just don’t get what the big deal is. We’ve got fuel, an amazing pilot, a super awesome ex-Jedi; what more could we need?”
Ahsoka piece is done!! :) So proud of how she came out!!!! hehehe :3 !!!!!!!!!!!!
