#reading star wars

[longtimespentinagalaxyfaraway]

Hello there! I am alive!

Health issues kicked my butt last year, hence my not updating (or continuing) this challenge in a really disappointingly long time. But, the fog seems to be clearing, and I am once again able to focus on things I enjoy, so I am very happy to get back into this.

Entries 7 - 10 of my Star Wars Legends challenge are Dawn of the Jedi: Force Storm issues #2 - 5, written by John Ostrander and art by Jan Duursema, Dan Parsons, and Wes Dzioba. All four issues take place in 25,793 BBY, and were released in 2012.

Thoughts and images beneath the cut so as not to flood your feed.

Issue #2 introduces (who I assume will be) our main cast of characters from here on out - Shae Koda, Tasha Ryo, and Sek'nos Rath, all three Je'daii Journeyers from Tython.

Is it just me or do all three of them have maaaaaajor OT3 energy. I desperately need to see the three of them… er, kriff. And as I am assuming this is not going to happen on page, I WILL be turning to AO3 when I am done reading this series and y'all had better not let me down.

Willing to extend that to OT4 and let Xesh in on the kriffing as well.

(This part of the post is not getting posted on instagram xD for the most part what I post there and post here will be the same but people I know follow me on instagram xD containing the horny posting to tumblr for now bc I am not brave enough to… the mixed metaphor that popped into my head was "put my pussy where my mouth is" but that sounds like a physical impossibility and now I've gotten confused and distracted.)

Aaaaaaanyway.

Sexual tension between Shae, Tasha, and Sek'nos is palpable. All three having a tense force vision about a mysterious, dangerous bad boy dark force user? I am restraining myself from looking on Ao3 until I've finished reading this arc to avoid spoilers, but y'all I am going to be so kriffing mad if you disappoint me on the fic front. PLEASE tell me there is fic here. I DON'T want to be the one who has to write it.

For the most part, I am engaged with the three (four if you count Xesh) main characters. Their dynamic is engaging (yes, beyond just sexy lmao) and each of them are interesting on their own as well. I am looking forward to seeing them continue to develop over the course of the series.

Then, let's see. Things that annoyed me...

Boob armor is always annoying. Jedi Emma Frost has some incredible shoulder armor but the boob top is sigh. She must be using the Force to keep her titties from shooting out the gaping hole in her shirt. Like. I love good cleavage as much as the next bisexual, but c'mon, man.

On the other end for costumes that make me happy, I'm in love with Tasha's look. It is one of the few not over-the-top sexualized twi'lek costumes I can think of, and that is a breath of fresh air on top of just being a really cool skirt that I would absolutely wear.

I think that's it for now. Hope to read more of the series this week and will continue to update as I go! I might start posting reactions as I read here? Not sure yet. Sometimes it can be fun but sometimes it can distract from the actual reading xD

Occasionally, I wish to be in my twenties again.

I mean, back in those days I had tremendous free times I didn’t realize, and waste all that for useless things.

But then I just look at the eye of my son, and I don’t care any more that I’m already in my thirties.

Yeah, a bit harder to find time now to read/write/draw/browse stuff online.

And society try to stamp me with the “you are now a mother you should be adult and stop everything you love to push back forever your life for raising a child…” and “mother life is about sacrifices and devotion…”

Don’t get me wrong. I love being a mother. But I love being myself beside this, and I think these two can be in hand to hand.

So, what if I read up the Thrawn – Greater Good to my six-month-old? Who is going to stop me? With the right pronunciation and accentuation, that can be joyful for both of us. He laughs, I get time to enjoy the story. It’s works. We bond.

The only struggle is to pronounce the chiss names.

At least he enjoys my misery about that.

SAG officially considers cosplays of current/past media as crossing the picket line as it can be seen as supporting the studios they're currently striking against.

(link is to a series of tweets, which include the original poster of the screenshot directly asking SAG-AFTRA what the rules are for paid/influencer cosplayers who want to support the strike)

EDIT 2 (first edit in tags): the tweet in the OP has been deleted, so I'll be shutting down reblogs on this post just so people don't take the link as a solid source when it no longer exists. For context, the original link was from a content creator who'd emailed SAG-AFTRA about guidance surrounding promos, contracts, and influencers. The response from SAG-Aftra likely wasn't 100% detailed because things were still being figured out. As for more detailed questions such as what counts as an influencer and other really specific questions I've seen in the tags, that's not something I know. Maybe emailing SAG-AFTRA themselves will help, although I can't be sure.

If the original email or the FAQ were confusing to you, it's likely that it's because both were phrased in a way that would be understandable to people who'd be likely to scab, ie influencers under specific circumstances. It's not really geared toward the lay person (which is what the FAQ will make clear by their frequent use of "influencer").

Again, the notes (and frankly the original link itself) have some that this is about influencers specifically. I missed that keyword in the OP (typo). I need people to stop acting like I'm willfully fearmongering and spreading misinformation. I read the full thread. I read the entire FAQ. It's on you if you do neither. At the time of my reading the thread, the FAQ either hadn't been released yet or had just come out. I also need people to stop bringing up Neil Gaiman's Tumblr post when SAG-AFTRA has their own Official FAQ on their strike site.

For the FAQ, it's here. It's about influencers, both union and non-union. Iirc the non-union FAQ has some ways to help that non-influencers can also engage in, like using a hashtag or generally raising awareness.

If you have any questions, please please please direct them to official members of SAG-AFTRA. Email Fran Drescher herself if you somehow can. Regardless, support the WGA SAG-AFTRA strike.

#ch posts #sag aftra #strike #star wars #hollywood strike #cosplay #edit: pls pls pls go into the notes and find rhe addition/correction #or reblog this version #or idk read through the link #i missed a word here but theres people acting like im fearmongering on purpose because THEY refuse to resd

You know what, sometimes a comic is worth reading just to get a fantastic moment of Mace Windu being badass and reaching out his hand to help because someone asked.

The man he faced was everything Obi-Wan had devoted his life to destroying: Murderer. Traitor. Fallen Jedi. Lord of the Sith. And here, and now, despite it all… Obi-Wan still loved him. - Revenge of the Sith by Matthew Stover

[bereft-of-frogs]

I have finally started reading Heir to the Empire (even acquiring a better condition copy of the absolutely amazing 1991 cover, as far as I can tell this printing is from 1995, but it’s held up really well. I’m obsessed with this cover. Obsessed. Cannot wait to meet this shirtless wizard man.)

Anyway, I read this passage and 1) the necromancy brain rot is real because I just nodded and went, ‘yes, the River beyond’ before I was like ‘wait no’.

2) it’s an interesting departure from the ‘one with the Force’ death messaging that I always thought of like the Buddhist concept of the wave returning to the sea. Now I’m wondering where/when that came about and if it pre or post dates this? Was that something that only came up in the prequel era or did Zahn depart from it?

Anyway this is really good, I’m only 2 chapters in but I’m actually already liking it better than Zahn’s other, newer Thrawn books (unpopular opinion?)

another entry in my post 'twin suns ghost au'. #3 so far.

the entire idea here is we do NOT leave a depressed man alone in the desert for twenty years. INSTEAD we let his rival haunt the fuck out of him. 👍🏽

Every Sith Lord, bounty hunter, and just general villain: I was hoping for Kenobi. Every Jedi Who Has To Deal With This Shit: [deep sigh] Yeah we know. I need you to know I hyena laughed about this for FIVE STRAIGHT MINUTES, Quinlan's life is so hard, he's so much cooler and more exciting than Obi-Wan and this is still the response he gets?? HE WAS IN THAT FIGHT, TOO, YOU KNOW.
