We set this up this time so you could see the relationship between the Executive Office building and the Senate building, because in the other films, we never really had a good establishing shot that put those two places in proximity to each other.
“How long will we continue to ignore the disenfranchisement of the worlds in the Outer Rim? If we continue to neglect the needs of their people, they will decide that being a Republic member world is of no benefit to them.”
Senator Lethaa Daal, of Shili
Just finished this piece of my prequels-era Togruta OC, and i'm so, so happy with how she turned out! I've made so much progress in my art, and I'm excited to see how I continue to improve!
Wolffe: *waking up after having surgery*
Arran: Hello Wolffe, I'm Arran. I'm going to be the healer taking care of you while you recover.
Wolffe, still high off of anesthesia and trying to deal with the fact his Jedi healer is Fine™️: Damn, I should get injured more often.
Fox, watching on the sidelines: *chokes*
One of the reasons I’ve been largely absent from here (after saying I was going to post more and get back to normal) is that I got the opportunity to go to Japan 🇯🇵! And I’ve been scrambling to get stuff ready and iron out details. Currently, I’m sitting waiting to board my 13 hr flight 😩. I’ve gotten behind on reading fic specifically because I figured I would need a lot of stuff to read over the course of 26 hours of flight. As much as I’m going to write and draw while in the air, I’ll go insane if I don’t sit back and do something more passive for a few hours, lol.
Also, I’ve been lost in the craft/hobby sauce recently. I’ve started taking a ceramics class (will report back if I improve enough to let the public see my monstrous creations 😅).
In addition, I’ve had this fabric sitting around for a little while, trying to figure out the design I wanted to go with for a Romulan Senator pillow. In this case, this is the design of Letant’s tunic (Vreenak’s is pretty funky and too complex). I designed it on my iPad and then had Joann’s print it (highly recommend). It’s so perfect I’m scared to start using it 😰. Once I work up the courage to finally cut into it, I’ll share the final result.
And, lastly, I’m building a model of DS9. It’s a lot of work and I hope I don’t screw it up too bad as I try to rig the whole thing with lights. To give you some idea of how long it takes to make this thing look okayish, each window has to be drilled by hand with a tiny drill I spin with my fingers 🫠.
With any luck, it will look something like this in the end (not my photo!).
Context: never watch Only Murders in the Building Season 3 Episode 4 and think about Star Wars Episode III in the same time. Or if you can't do that, at least get enough sleep. (Picture belongs to Little Golden Books.)
Did I just spend the last hour sending emails to American politicians abt the anti-trans bills? Yeah. Feel free 2 do the same if u have the energy. I keep telling myself it's just emails but it's better than nothing. I'm just trying to start local and work my way out. Fuck.
I Was Not Elected to Watch My People Suffer and Die...
STAR WARS EPISODE I: The Phantom Menace 01:28:43
There are a few species in this shot that are tough to figure out. In the top left corner, we've got a character in spacesuit it looks like. (I made some short video clips to help identify who/what they may be)
In the bottom left, we've got a pod of Quarren but they don't appear to be Senator Tikkes' delegation from Mon Cala. They're all wearing maroon/grey robes. Quarren Isolation League? Some other Quarren colony world?
Next to the Quarren, we've got a delegation of Aleena. I count at least 9 in the pod.
Above the Aleena, there's a delegation of Ishi Tib. Senator Gume Saam appears in Episode II so this could be him, or his predecessor, or representatives of another Ishi Tib colony.
To the upper right of the Ishi Tib, we have what appears to be Aqualish, but wearing lighter colored clothing than Po Nudo and his aides (who we see in a later scene).
Below the Aqualish, there are what appear to be Rodians. I first thought maybe these were Roonans like Edcel Bar Gane, but for a second you can see some bumps on their heads that look like antennae, so my guess is Rodians (but a separate delegation from Onaconda Farr's).
Happy Ides of March! Today is a day to remember that, no matter how powerful someone might seem, they can always be brought down. Sic semper tyrannis, friends.

"STAND WITH PALESTINE! DEFEAT SB470!
-Statewide Mobilization to Tallahassee
TUESDAY, JAN. 30th @ 4pm @ the Florida Senate Building
DeSantis and the Florida legislature are trying to make standing with Palestine a crime - SB470 will threaten financial aid for students "promoting foreign terrorist organizations"
We see right through this. The Florida legislature is scared of the pro-Palestine movement and will do anything to stop it. To that, we say HELL NO!
We invite all progressive forces/groups to join us in standing with Palestine!
End US Aid to Israel!
Defend Freedom of Speech!"
au where the empire/jedi disintegration is more ..... amiable. obi-wan gets anakin’s children. vader gets general kenobi’s commander. no one is happy about anything, ever.
“Here is another truth: when Elain looked down at her sister’s corpse, it felt like the world was empty of air, all of a sudden, and all this negative pressure was making her lungs collapse.
Graysen would come to claim that his sweet lovely fiancé seemed to die right there in that morgue, standing next to her sister’s body. That Elain was never seen again, following that.
It is painfully the opposite, in fact. Elain is very much there, no matter how much wishing otherwise would relieve this devastation off her. She is trying to catch a breath, a single one, but the world is a vacuum, outer space, and there is no oxygen for her to take. Elain tries to move beyond that moment in time when Nesta popped the boundaries of the universe—of Elain’s universe—but it is virtually impossible. The only thing that seems to alleviate that, in the slightest way, is the line of reason. Of the what’s, the why’s and the how’s. The who’s, most importantly. The who is what allows Elain the barest supply of air, lets her stare at the ceiling of her room at night until she can fall asleep.”
