I know everyone loves Yuna and Ilya’s relationship bc it’s so lovely for Ilya to experience a mothers love and warmth after not having it since he was twelve and I agree, but honestly David and Ilya’s relationship really gets me.
Like Ilya has never experienced kindness or warmth from any older male/father figure in his life, even his older brother was cold and spoke to him with such vitriol. All Ilya has ever known are stoic, cold or cruel men. Then comes boring and socially awkward David Hollander who welcomes him immediately, calls him ‘son’, buys good Russian vodka, cooks chicken Parmesan bc it’s Ilya’s favorite, does puzzles with Ilya and treats him with the tenderness and kindness of a quiet loving father, something that Ilya had NEVER had before.
This man of few words went to see Ilya the morning of his wedding specifically because he knew Ilya had no family there and he had a full speech rehearsed about how he and Yuna always wanted another child and now they have one, because he wanted to Ilya to know that they both see him as a son and that he has a family now, even though he was worried about over stepping.
Ilya knew a mothers love before but he’d never known a fathers love until David😭
I am currently vibrating out of my skin waiting for the HEATED RIVALRY finale and the cottage and the only thing that has kept me in the general vicinity of sanity has been the absolutely god tier fic. I can't tell you how many times I've had to practically shove my face into my hoodie to try to muffle the cackling laughter because I was not going to explain what I was reading to the people around me, but all the lolz-worthy fic really did help take the edge off the desperate intensity of feelings I had after episode 5.
I meant to post this sooner, but then wound up adding to it and adding to it because I couldn't stop reading and I still am further behind on my reading list than the last time I checked the tag on AO3. What an incredible fandom to get to watch explode, from this medium-sized book fandom I joined just a month before the show started, not even realizing that it was about to get such an incredible adaptation, but goddamn is there some fucking talent here. Hayden and Jackie are getting the love from fandom that they deserve! And you have no idea how many loopy!Shane or social media fics I have read and how each of them are incredible! Centaur team shenanigans! THIS FANDOM IS SO GOOD TO ME.

Introducing the Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki, a wiki for fic writers by fic writers!
The Star Wars Fic Reference Wiki is intended as a way for fic writers and other fanwork creators to easily look up pertinent information without having to slog through dense paragraphs or comb through categories with dozens or even hundreds of entries with few indicators of what the pages are. Do you want lists? Do you want tables? Do you want easily digestible bullet points? We've got 'em!
We build pages from common questions we or other fic writers have, such as:
All these fics incorporate events from Jedi Apprentice, but what really happened to Obi-Wan Kenobi in Legends?
How do the stories in Revenge of the Sith and The Clone Wars mesh together?
Which characters are LGBTQIA+? Who are some LGBTQIA+ creators who have worked on a Star War? How about a timeline of LGBTQIA+ people and content?
BBY/ABY, BrS/GrS, BFE/AFE... what's the difference between these and all those other calendars? What calendar do characters use before the Battle of Yavin?
What are some idioms or kriffing swears this character could use to sound more Star Wars-y?
Does the GFFA have its own version of a grilled cheese sandwich with tomato soup?
What could be used as a pack animal in one of the many, many deserts?
Why does this fic call him "Yan" or "Glamnor" Dooku? Is her full name Padmé Amidala Naberrie or something else?
How many costumes does Padmé wear? What about other SW costumes?
What are some canonical design options for a Kiffar OC's facial tattoo?
Are these the droids you're looking for?
Are you constantly losing those handy tumblr posts compiling useful resources? We have a permanent page for that!
(Swears in light mode; LGBTQIA+ characters in dark mode)
We've only recently started building the wiki, and are creating new pages all the time! We'd love help or suggestions for new pages. Have you never edited a wiki before? No problem! We have a tutorial for that. Are you not super confident about your English? No worries! Other wiki editors are here to help! We have a Discord server for the wiki, and side channels for things like SW fic recs and general fan chat.
Thank you for initial brainstorming and showing us there was an interest in and audience for this wiki, from us (facingthenorthwind and immithrax) to you: @nimata-beroya, @cacodaemonia, @elismor, @genericficerblog, @seth-shitposts, @takadasaiko, and @virusq!
Many hands make great wikis, so please, come on over and join us, and check back to see what new things we have in store! If you find our pages useful, we'd also love if you could spread the word, so other people can make use of the resources we've worked hard to create.

WHAT RHE FUCK TYPE OF FOOD ARE YOU EATING!! THE ONLY KINd OF RAVIOLI THAT IS ACCEPTABLE IS TOSTED RAVIOLI!! ALSO PUTTING CHEESE IN A CAN IS A DISGRACE TOWARDS MOTHER NATURE AND IF YOU DO IT YOU SHOULD BE BEATEN WITH rocjKS IN THE TOWN SQUARE
REGULAR FUCKING HUMANS???? YOU PUT THE RAWWWW RAW RAVIOLI THE RAWVIOLI IN THE BOILING WATER WAIT A BIT TIL THE FUCKING DOUGH ISNT RAWWWWW ANYMORE AND THEN YOU PUT IT IN YOUR PLATE AND YOU EAT THE COOKED RAVIOLI
NO WTF!? YOU BUY THE RAVIOLI FROM THE STORE THEN PUT IT IN THE OVEN FOR 8-13 MINUTES AND EAT IT. SOMETIMES WITH MARINARA SAUCE BUT THATS GROSS, ITS COMMENLY A SIDE DISH FOR PIZZA YOU UNCULTURED SWINE. IN WHAT WORLD WOULD IT BE APPROPRIATE TO BOIL RAVIOLI
IT IS CRUNCHY ON THE OUTSIDE AND BEEFY ON THE INSIDE WITH SOME LITTLE GREEN THINGS. ITS SO GOOD IF YOU DONT BURN IT.
WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU ON THAT MAKES YOU CLASSIFY RAVIOLI AS PASTA?! IN WHAT WORLD IS IT CLASSIFIED AS PASTA?!! HOW DO YOU SEE THIS AND THINK, “ah yeas beloved pasta”
The perfect demonstration of how the internet brings radically different cultures together, allowing us to discover the most mundane differences that seem so separate from cultural practices and regional differences that we don't even stop to consider the possibility of their existence. Until it's shoved in our face, forcing us to confront the true nature of how horrifying everyone else's ravioli is.
I’m assuming we get happy ending for zaundads and jayvik and I’m so happy for the jayvik but please please please make Vander really have to work to get his family back 😭 like no way you can just hurt and try to drown Viktor’s mami without him feeling some type of way about it (I also wonder if post bridge scene is when viktor will take Silco to Singed or maybe that’s a path they will diverge from…) but either way I need Vander to know some bitch ass letter is not enough (as always I trust your vision though)
That letter made me 🤢 it was such a causal non apology for something so intimately violent? I know there are animation constraints but this part stank of poor writing.
They were too obsessed with villainising Silco and martyring Vander. Which makes sense if you’re privileged — you venerate the “peace” (read: non violence / lack of force against oppressors) rather than justice or the attempt at action.
On a purely emotional side, it was just poor handling of domestic violence. Lack of accountability. Far out. If I was Silco and I read that letter it would have made me crash the f out. Frankly I wouldn’t be surprised if he DID read that letter and crash out, in one of these universes, and just shot Vander.
Anywho. I am going to deal with that stupid bloody letter directly in Devotions. Don’t you worry 👹👹👹

Jayce showing up to this dangerous crime boss's house with a bouquet of flowers. "I'm here to court your son 🥰🥰"
Silco seeing Viktor in the arms of someone so much larger and stronger than him and remembering that the same hands that protect you can hurt you in an instant
Thinking about Fengxian, a living ghost in her daughter's memory, a broken woman who ruined the Verdigris house. On the surface, shes a cunning woman who lost too big of a gamble, a lovesick fool who became a monster once things didn't go the way she expected. But it's more complicated than that, it wasn't a gamble, there was no doubt at all.
Fengxian was dead certain that Lakan would pay for her if he could, that he'd take in their child and be a good husband. It was common for courtesans to do such schemes in order to marry for love. And she was right! Lakan would move mountains and destroy a country for her and Maomao! It was a calculated risk.
Had Luomen not gotten unjustly exiled, Lakan would have maintained correspondence through letters with her and he would've known about her pregnancy long before it became visibly obvious. There would've been enough time for her to hide it while he got the money to buy her, now that her price was secretly lower. The Verdigris house would've maintained its reputation despite losing its highest earner. Everyone would've been ok.
Lakan being sent away to a place where he couldn't even receive her letters was something none of them could have predicted. As her letters continued be met with silence, her belly continued to grow, and it was no longer possible to hide it.
The Verdigris house didn't have other high end courtesans, she was the shining jewel and the face of the house, with Fenxian's reputation ruined, so was the Verdigris house. They were just barely comfortable with the money she raked in, now they were poor, too poor to stop working long enough to pay attention to a baby, too poor to keep her from working as a cheap courtesan, probably while she was still pregnant and right after giving birth. At the time, it wasn't uncommon for families in abject poverty to kill newborns, sparing both themselves and the new child of torturous hardship.
They didn't have much to give Maomao, certainly not their time, always spent earning money to keep everyone alive. But they kept her, fed her, kept her clean and as healthy as they could. The other courtesans cared for her, Fenxian sang to her until she was too sick to be a mother anymore, the granny encouraged her to become a courtesan but never forced her, supporting her in being an apothecary instead.
She received all the love they had the capacity to give. The fact that they couldn't do more isn't a moral failure on their part, it's a tragedy.
