Our Flag Means Death - Star Wars (1/3)

Part 3 Here

Character info under the cut:

Edward Teach: A human/Twilek pirate, Ed grew up with his mother on an outer rim commercial port. In this universe, young Ed becomes fascinated with the chilling tales of spacers encounters with Purgill, and how they would grab whole ships and drag them with them to the depths of wild space, never to be seen again. He’s been a thorn on the Empire’s side for years, reaching an impressive bounty on his head, and commanding a whole armada of ships willing and eager to attack and plunder any vessel he so wishes. Even the Hutts and the Pykes try to stear clear of his path.

Stede Bonnet: The son of an outer rim Minister, Stede Bonnet grew up in the lap of luxury, amid the Empire’s aristocracy. Discomforted and alienated from his life and his marriage with Mary Allamby, daughter of a senator, and after being an avid reader of Smuggler and Pirate centric holo-novels his entire life, Stede commisions the best shipbuilders of Naboo to make him a customised ship, hires a crew, and sets of to become the one and only “Gentleman Smuggler”. The Galaxy will never be the same.

Lucius Sprigg: A twilek administrator and secretary, Lucius jumped at the chance to join Stede’s crew, which would allow him to get a steady sallary while not having to do a lot of work, and would also allow him and the other members of the crew a respite from the Empire’s anti-alien policies. Fluent in basic, Ryl, Huttese and can hold his own in binary, he’s actually one of the few members of the crew that can write and read in basic.

Black Pete: A weequay who has spent most of his life jumping from ship to ship, Pete boasts to whoever listens that pyracy is in his blood, being related to the infamous Hondo Honaka (he never actually met him, and he is just a cousin twice removed) and swearing he used to be a member of Blackbeard’s team, much to the Revenge’s crew skepticism. It doesn’t take him long to fall head over heels for Lucius, and he reveals his apptitude for mechanichs when he presents him with a prosthetic finger to replace the one he lost.

Keito Hasumi (Management Story 3 w/ Mao Isara)

LOCATION: Cafe

Keito: *blows* This is good coffee.

Mao: Hrm… There's nowhere to sit. Well, I guess I'll just have to find a different place.

Keito:

Isara…? I didn't expect to see you here.

Hnn, the seat in front of me is empty. Why don't you sit down?

Mao: Whoah, Vice-President?! Umm, are you sure you don't mind? Aren't you meeting with someone?

Keito: I'm alone so I don't mind. I was going to order another cup of coffee. What will Isara have?

Mao: Then I'll get the same thing… Er, do you come to this store often?

Keito:

No, I only come here occasionally when I feel like drinking coffee.

I usually drink Japanese tea, though. …What's the matter? I won't give you my chiffon cake even if you look at me like that.

Mao: No, uh, I just thought it was kind of unusual to see the Vice-President eat cake.

Keito:

Hmph, even I eat this sort of thing once in a while. Never mind that, it looks like what you ordered has arrived.

It's normal for the Student Council to be busy, but it's important to take breaks too.

Mao: After all this time, it would be nice to just have a casual chat with you over coffee.

More Claypollo! Attempted a Ghibli art style since I was watching a bunch of Ghibli films at the time. I also have two alternative background colours because I couldn’t decide on which one I liked better.

I got Re-possessed as Mommy forgot to pay my insurance premium by Asha Connie Kells Via Flickr: Ashala's account - A picture taken of Asha with her demon costume on taking on our roof terrace which I thought I'd upload to wish all our flickr friends a Happy Halloween. I added some text to make it a fun picture as my demon dog looks too Angelical for this to be a scary demon dog picture.

As a kid I'd hear about stories of how kpop stars start their training at like 14,15 and athletes have lifelong training and feel bad that I didn't start working and hustling and be talented and stand out like that. Now I look back and I'm like wtf why do we impose such high career impositions on youth (especially under the public eye, not just for their talent or the things they're good at) as such a young age?

Review: Swimming in the Sea of Stars

Synopsis:

Journal entry: Heading to school. I know what everyone will say.  There goes the girl who tried to kill herself.

Addison is no stranger to feeling stressed, insecure, and sad. Her therapist recommended she keep a journal to help her understand those feelings better, which she really needs today. It’s her first day back to school, several weeks after she survived her suicide attempt. She knows there are rumors about why she did it: A lousy home life? Bullying? Heartbreak? None of them are true, but it doesn’t matter because Addison still feels like she’s drowning. She still holds secrets she’s not ready to share.

During the school day, Addison encounters four other students struggling with their own secrets:

Cooper is anxious about seeing Addison. They were sort of a couple until he tried to kiss her. She fled and then tried to end her life. Those two things couldn’t be related, could they?

Celia feels trapped by her mother’s abusive boyfriend. She can guess why Addison did what she did.

Damion is TikTok-famous and thinks befriending Addison could boost his followers. But what no one knows is he needs the world to remember him since his sick mom doesn’t anymore.

Avery is considered a loner and doesn’t know Addison, but they have neighboring lockers. With Avery’s older brother in jail for dealing drugs, Avery is desperate for meaningful human connection.

Plot:

A month after she attempted suicide, Addison found herself going back to her high school, trying to get her life back on track. Keeping journal entries like her therapist recommended, Addison recounts her first day back to high school and talks about the people she meets, the people she tries to avoid, and her general uneasy feeling of being gawked at. Where the gawking does happen, Addison finds herself interacting with others who like her, have bigger things going on than just high school. In the washroom she meets Celia, someone who is being abused by her mother’s boyfriend, and has to sneak away to the safety of school each day. In the halls, she meets Damion, a TikTok famous influencer who is desperate for public acknowledgment of his existence because he does not get it at home. Damion is also connected to Avery, an old childhood friend who needs Damion for a favor as she tries to put her family back together through the addition of a new member. Addison also runs into Booker, despite trying to avoid him, her ex-almost-boyfriend who doesn't understand why Addison tries to end her life after their almost kiss. What's worse is that when Addison tried to end her life, Booker’s best friend and cousin is fighting for his life as his cancer diagnosis indicates that hope might not cut it. Taken within a day, these five teens' lives are irreversibly changed as they are all interconnected and interact in what some might consider a normal day, but for these teens, it is a start of a whole new chapter.  

Thoughts:

Julie Wrights writes a wowzer novel, taken from 5 teenage perspectives in a day, Wright's novel emphasizes mental health in a realness and hopefulness perspective. Each of our teens is dealing with their own significant problems - Celia / Damion with their mom, Addison / Booker with potential death, and Avery’s trying to put their family back together. With so much happening, this makes the novel fly through your hands as you are eager to keep reading to get back to the character’s plotline you like the most. Although from a third-person perspective, Wrights really makes you be able to feel each teen’s struggles and emotions as they go through their challenge, relying on others in the novel for help. Despite a big cast of characters, Wrights makes it easy to figure out whose storyline each chapter is by stating their name, along with including a diary entry from Addison. That’s right, despite seeming to be the main character, we do not get to follow Addison around like the others, instead seeing how she interacts through her diary entry, and how other characters talk to her. My main complaint about this novel is that the timeline, just one day, seems so short that some storylines, like Celia, do not feel as flushed out as others like Avery. While Wright does solve some characters' issues, like Celia’s despite feeling rushed, others like Damion do not feel as solved as Wright could have made it. The story just felt rushed and needed more time for our characters to sort themselves out, but that would also ruin the magic of how Addison’s first day back changed these lives with just a small and simple interaction. Overall, it was a stellar read, and an important one as Wright really dives into the mental health problems our teenagers, both in this novel and real life, face, and how to empower them to get through these hard times and see the light, and the beauty of staying.

“What are you guys doing? Have you seen Annabelle and the ghost?”

“We’re collecting flowers for our Mamas!”

“Annie took Ghost to the park.”

“Which one?”

“Probably the one with the geese.”

“Alright.”

“Wait, come back!”

?

“Come pick flowers with us!”

“But I don’t have parents...”

“What about Meilan?”

“I wish she was my Mama.”

“Anfisa isn’t my birth mother either, but here I am.”

“Besides, wouldn’t she be happy to know you think of her as your mother?”

“You’re right. She’d be thrilled!”
