I keep vaguely thinking of creating a wiki that organises star wars things in ways that are useful for fic writers (unlike Wookieepedia, which is often not in a useful format for what fic writers want). What would you (and folks you follow) want that to look like? Asking you because you have that excellent list of sw resources, some of which would not be possible to move to a wiki but some would. The ideas I've been thinking about are more granular timelines than Woookieepedia has and things like lists of senators that serve at the same time/some way to reference what senators would be around during particular events, but I'm sure there are other things that I'm just blanking on.
Oh m y gosh!! That'd be amazing and extremely helpful!
no, seriously, do it! especially timelines, because that's something that can be confusing at times, and not everyone wants to/can afford to buy Timelines guide book that was released last year I think (or it was this year?), like you said, having lists of coss-reference with characters, places, and/or events would be the best. There are so many things that could be helpful to writers.
Honestly, I don't know what would be the best way to organize all of it, but if there's any other way that I can help you (other than cheering you on) just let me know. I can only imagine how massive a project like this is, and you'll need all the help you can get.
And to my lovely friends, mutuals and followers who are fic writers, what are your suggestions? What would you like to have at your hand's reach for writing your fabulous fics instead of going down the rabbit hole every time you need to research a detail?

I can't believe people would slander ocean sunfish for having a lot of parasites. Uh, hello?? Every animal in nature has parasites dipshit, it came free with living in an ecosystem
Dp x dc twin au where Danny and Damian were in fact conjoined/siamese twins, but the most dangerous type - one head, two bodies.
Their early removal from talia being because their shape would not have allowed for natural birth, they were written off but talia begged for the chance to send them off in the lazarus pit.
By some bizarre miracle, before she turned to leave, two small bodies bobbed to the surface - identical in every way, except for the eyes. The previous blue eyes now split in two, one left, one right, and the new eyes, pit created, a bright green.
She took her child, her two children, and together, they survived.
Being removed prematurely, their early years were tough, but soon they blossomed into promising heirs for the league. In sync with every step, the closest of brothers, the league was certain the old fairy tale of twins being telepathic had been granted by the pit that separated them, the remnants of being born as one mind, one brain, one skull.
But then Danny had to flee, and leave his other half behind. Stretched by distance for the first time, the bond grew thin and stretched, and Damian grieved his brother as dead. When he started being sent on public missions, he hid his distinctive heterochromia, choosing the green in memory of the pit that had given him and his brother life.
Danny, hiding his pit aura in the ocean's worth that was Amity park, took to blue, the colour that he and Damian were born with.
Damian moves to Gotham, and continues to mourn his brother as dead, right until one day when he is twelve, when he learns what the death of your other half truly feels like.

Their reunion is a thing of family legend. Violence runs hot in both bloodlines, ghosts are highly emotional and prone to fighting a the drop of a hat for bonding, playing, testing, every reason under the green sun. Their training and play often consisted of friendly spars, competitive spars, furious spars, venting spars. Both have been exposed to unhealthy amounts of ecto since before their birth.
There is a long, long minute of staring, before they rip themselves away and lunge at each other like wolves.
The bat family are horrified by their brutally efficient youngest suddenly barreling towards a clone (?) and trying to claw his throat open with his bare hands while openly sobbing.
It ends with them wrapped around each other crying into the others shoulder as their minds finally meet again and relax from the painful stretch for the first time in years.
some previews of my new gay comic maintenance! about robots and girls and fingers and hands and wires. available as physical copies through WBMC only for the month of april!!! (and digitally after that)
despite being more often than not a "rules as written" fan over "rule of cool", i really do love me a good "rules be damned, i'll give you this awesome moment" call. like matt giving fcg the otohan kill despite what her hp was at or brennan giving cerrit an extra mage slayer reaction attack at the end of calamity. honestly, if anything, i think the fact they mostly play by the book makes these moments even better because it really has that extra weight towards those decisions to put the rules aside.
So I started a Redbubble a little while ago. I make fanart and lil pictures and as much as I love to draw I never thought it would really reach anyone, especially with how much amazing work there is out there. A couple of weeks ago, i was really excited that I actually made a sale for a shirt to someone in the UK. Today I saw this picture:
This is my artwork. My one sale was to Jodie Whittaker. And she wore it to awesome con?!! My brain can’t process this information?!
Obsessed with Zoro giving one of his earrings to Sanji when they get married and I’m ever so grateful to all the fanartists that add that in subtly to their fanarts it eats me up so much its so cute but I have yet to see a comic about HOW that conversation ended up going like oh my god could you just imagine:
“Cook, come here.” Zoro hummed, sliding his hand effortlessly around the blonde’s waist to spin him in his direction.
“Zoro?! The fuck are you trying this time mosshead?” Sanji would almsot chuckle, venom gone from his voice as a faint smile parted his lips and he turned to face his new husband.
“Mh, you mentioned you had your ears pierced on Momorio, right?” Zoro smirked, taking Sanji’s left ear in between his fingers and inspecting it with a mischievous glint in his eyes.
“Yeah, but what’s that got to do with anything?”
“Hold still.”
Sanji rolled his eyes at the command, but held still nontheless as he stared lovingly at his husband, watching the way his face wrinkled in concentration, tongue ever so faintly jutting out like a toddler about to go cross-eyed from how hard they were focusing as he felt the cool metal slide into the hole in his ear. Something faintly jingled as the light sensation of metal grazed against his neck, an earring, obviously.
“A gift hm? And you arent even gonna let me see it before you slot it in huh?” Sanji scoffed with a laugh, waggling his eyebrow teasingly as he continued. “Reminds me of our wedding might you dog.”
“Oh come on,” Zoro laughed, giving Sanji a soft kiss before stepping back to admire his work. “I think it looks lovely on you. Better than on me.”
“What are you on about this time Marimo?” Sanji snickered before his eyes trailed over to Zoro’s earrings, finding there to only be two, and then it clicked. “Zoro- you didn’t.”
“Cause I couldn’t get you that ring.” Zoro shrugged with a soft smile. “Besides, I think it means more this way.”
“Gods above Zoro, what ever did I do to be as lucky as having someone like you?” Sanji sighed after a heavy moment of silence, stepping forward to plant a long, passionate kiss upon the swordsman’s lips. “I love you so much.”
Thinking about how Leo says he uses his jokes to cope and y’know, thinking harder on it I think it may very well be because of what else uses one-liners and puns and that type of humor.
Specifically, 80’s action movies and campy sci-fi. Even more specifically, the protagonists of these.
So I can imagine why, exactly, Leo leans toward this brand of humor. It’s directly linked to things he loves! But even more than that is why I think it’s used as a coping mechanism.
In these genres, these quips tend to be said by the winner - or, if not a winner, then someone who will stay alive. So there’s a confidence behind them, an assurance, almost, that even if things go wrong, things aren’t ever too serious. There’s no bad endings here! It’s all good fun, even if the stakes seem high.
Leo canonically has been known to steer his brothers away from the more brutal villains and toward more fun, lighthearted activities and not-so-dangerous criminals. So for Leo, these jokes definitely make things less heavy, make the situations they find themselves in less intense.
It’s kinda not just coping, but also can be seen as a form of escapism. A safety blanket. A way for Leo to defuse the tension of knowing just how dangerous their lives are and replace that with a levity which implies that things will be okay.
Unfortunately, levity alone does not alter reality.
