AU where Padme is a Jedi and Ahsoka is her padawan.
Iāll have the fic on your desk by Monday
The best part is the fact that Anakins not even like a tactful senator. He's super popular but he and Padme have the exact same negotiation styles as they do in the normal canon
Senator: *starts insulting someone Anakin loves*
Anakin: *pulls out a gun on the Senate floor* say it again
Ahsoka always gets this wolfish grin on her face whenever she and Padme are assigned to protect Anakin because sure, Padme occasionally gets into aggressive negotions but mostly is pretty calm. Anakin, though?
Padme: Really, Ahsoka, I donāt see why youāre so eager for a dull bodyguard assingment with Anakāuh, Senetor Skywalker.
Ahsoka: The last time we were supposed to have a ādull assignmentā with Skywalker he called Grievous ādookuās punk clanker bitchā and blew up half his fleet.
Padme: Iām aware. Iām the one who had to duel Grievous while you held Skywalker back.
Ahsoka: And it was dope.
I offer this hasty sketch to this god-tier au
'in the canon of my heart shane hollander keeps his head up in the neutral zone.' <- i saw someone say that they believe that That moment is shane misremembering the hit due to his concussion and that is now my canon forever. at some point in the future shane tries to talk to ilya about how nightmarishly embarrassing that was (and how he doesn't understand how ilya got past him suddenly being that bad at hockey...) and ilya has to ask him what the fuck he is talking about because that's not what happened, shane, i remember it very clearly! it is on youtube!!
wait anon this is so so good. shane hollander getting a traumatic brain injury after experiencing one (1) single moment of gay hope and immediately rewriting reality to construe it as punishment. he let himself want ilya coming in through the front door of his apartment & was divinely struck down via the medium of cliff marleau. and if scott hunter hadn't gritted his teeth and said i don't have to be so fucking lonely anymore where would we be!!!!! ilya going back to russia enduring his brother for the fleeting happiness of seeing his niece. shane using the only free weeks of his year mentally rerunning that moment, digging his teeth into his tongue, thinking he has to choose because it's impossible to have both, ilya or hockey, hockey or ilya, and he's done it, right, seventeen years of not having ilya, but he doesn't remember one fucking moment when he didn't have hockey.
anyway thank god it is indeed on youtube so ilya can pull it up on his phone & shove it into shane's face & watch shane's jaw unclench tick by tick until he turns back to ilya and says, breathless like he's been absolved of a crime, "i didn't"

Itās the final few days of the Bluminarmour Project! After some issues with Kickstarter letās see how far we can get!
If you want to see fantasy tropes, historical movement and silly tricks tested in authentic full plate armour, please consider chucking a few quid over (or like and share this post):
Blumineck is trying to fun a video series doing fun and serious historical and fantasy testing in fitted plate armour.
Update on this:
Kickstarter removed my highest funding tier so I lost £11k of funding since earlier today.
BUT
Iāve managed to get the deadline extended in light of this. So this might still happen!
Weāre into the last week now! This is close enough that I think this could actually happen, but itās still got a way to go!
If this is something that interests you, please consider donating or sharing!
Happy Pride Month to all of my fellow aces!! š¤š©¶š¤š

If you're writing anything involving cons, scams, heists, or morally questionable characters who are very good at lying, here are some free resources I've been using for research. Saving you the "why is this in my search history" anxiety.
1. The FBI's Famous Cases & Criminals archive (fbi.gov/history/famous-cases) has detailed breakdowns of real fraud cases, Ponzi schemes, and confidence operations. The language they use is clinical and precise, which is perfect for getting the procedural details right.
2. The FTC Consumer Sentinel Network publishes annual reports on the most common fraud tactics in the US. Great for understanding how modern scams actually work and what makes people fall for them.
3. The Smithsonian's American Art Museum has a free digital collection of forgery case studies. If your character forges documents or art, this is gold.
4. Court Listener (courtlistener.com) is a free legal database where you can read actual court transcripts from fraud trials. Want to know how a real con artist talks under oath? This is where you find out.
5. The Internet Archive's collection of old newspaper crime sections. Search for "confidence man" or "swindle" in papers from the 1920s through 1960s and you'll find incredible real stories that would feel too dramatic for fiction.
Bonus: The Psychology of Fraud section on the Association for Psychological Science website has accessible articles about why people trust, how deception works cognitively, and what makes someone a convincing liar. Essential reading if you want your con artist characters to feel psychologically real.
Reblog to save for later. Your WIP will thank you.

Judith Butler, philosopher: āIf you sacrifice a minority like trans people, you are operating within a fascist logicā
Feels like a good time to remind certain people that this is coming from Judith Butler, who is not just a leading feminist philosopher, but also THE COFOUNDER OF QUEER THEORY
The literal cofounder of queer theory as an academic field says that abandoning trans people is fascist logic.
The voices in our community trying to exclude us may be loud, but they are not right, and they do not speak for the community as a whole or our history or anything at all.
Trans people belong here. We always have, and we always will.
What if Buffy's mom hadn't found out about slaying at the end of season 2 and Buffy had to convince Spike to stay in town and pretend to be in a band with her because that was the cover story they'd told Joyce
And then eventually end up accidentally actually starting a band because itās easier than maintaining the lie
Joyce says they can use the garage to rehearse and she always makes them snacks. Buffy starts to worry she'll never get Spike to leave
Buffy insists on calling the band Slayer and Spike keeps failing to convince her that thereās already a band with that name
Low key I feel like Buffy would just see it as a cover and itās a āfake bandā but Spike gets like way into it and itās a Real Bandā¢ļø to him and heās a little annoyed Buffy doesnāt take it as seriously. Heās always like āyou missed practice this Tuesday what the hellās up with that. We have a gig next week btwā
#he starts trailing after her on patrol to bitch about missing practice or how she's sloppy on her chords #starts pitching in on the slayage because vampires keep interrupting his tirades #''EXCUSE ME we are having a ROW'' *stakes fledgling* #no chip necessary spike is literally the guy in the band with zero chill about the band #he undeads the band. he unbreathes the band. he spends all his time not sleeping... on the band. #(willow is their manager xander is the merch guy) #(giles was secretly plotting to lure spike into a trap until he notices spike is... actually better at corralling buffy on patrol than he is #because spike doesn't want her injuring her hands or doing anything that fucks with her breath control) #(giles is also weak to the nostalgia of it all and tunes their instruments when he thinks they're not looking) #(when faith arrives mid-S3 she's quickly recruited to sing backup) (via @entirelytookeen)
@worldsokayestdragon :
#spike after learning Oz plays guitar: why İsn't he in the band? #buffy: he's already in his own band. which is actually a real band unlike our fake band that you keep forgetting is just a cover story #spike: we're never going to make it in the music industry if you don't stop calling our band fake
Spike (with reluctant but knowledgeable backup from Giles) finally convinces her that "Slayer" risks bringing copyright lawyers down upon their heads, a fate worse than vampires
Buffy turns around and re-names their band "Fake"
#Buffy at their next concert: hi this is my Fake band and you're at my Fake concert#Fake band fans go NUTS when the Fake lead singer pulls her signature move: peacing out mid-song to go beat up some guys out back#Meanwhile: extended guitar and drum solos#the fans eat. that. gimmick. up.#Buffy returning covered in blood an hour later: oh god you're still going. Okay Fake second song here we go#and the crowd goes WILD
yeah yeah rainbow capitalism is bad and whatever but like. when I was a child, being pro gay was not the popular or lucrative choice. I'm happy that times have changed.
I miss rainbow capitalism. I do. I miss when it felt like public opinion was still pro gay. I understand it was always an empty gesture, but it mattered in a sense of knowing how socially acceptable being queer is. If that makes sense.
Why do characters in stories where there's some time travel or interdimensional situation always go like "that's not funny" when the traveler character is like "where's dad/mom/friend/etc?" and it turns out that the person in question has died in this timeline/universe?
If someone I cared about was acting disoriented and strange, not recognizing stuff, obviously having troubles placing where they are and/or what the date is, and then asked for someone we both loved who died like a year ago or ten years or whatever, my first reaction would not be "they are playing an incredibly crass and tasteless joke of some sort on me"? My first reaction would probably be, oh shit that's a major sign of dementia and some other serious conditions.
honestly the whole deal of the batboys dressing up as each other for JLA business is, objectively, supremely funnier if their identities arenāt even hidden anymore. they don't need to fill in for each other, the kids just like annoying everyone. they'll swap outfits and lie whenever they can, just to see how long they can go before one of them gets caught out. they'll always get found in the oddest moments and it never fails to piss off everybody else at the Watchtower.

Wonder Woman: -oh, and thank you to Red Robin for that piece of insight you gave us last week, it was very helpful.
Damian dressed up as Tim, has no idea what she's talking about: ....no worries.
Aquaman: oh i wasn't here last week, what did you say?
Red Robin:
Red Robin: ....if you... sprinkle cinnamon on your window-ledges, then spiders aren't as likely to come into your house...?
Aquaman:
Wonder Woman:
Woman Woman: i was referring to the fact that you checked our suspect list and absolved Leonard Woodgate from suspicion due to his documented presence in Gotham during the incident.
Red Robin:
Red Robin: ah.
Wonder Woman, glaring at him: Damian.
Red Robin: fuck.

Green Lantern: hey, Dick, can you pass me my coffee?
Nightwing: *doesn't glance over*
Green Lantern: Dick.
Green Lantern: Diiiick?
Green Lantern: RICHARD? DICK???
Batman walking in: you called me?
Green Lantern, looking between them: w- oh for fucks sake- WHERE'S BRUCE?
Dick as Batman, shrugging: honestly i didn't even ask- hey, Tim, where's B?
Nightwing: *still doesn't look up*
Red Hood, showing up in the doorway: did you say my name?
Dick as Batman, now also slightly confused: ...oh is Jason me today?
Jason as Nightwing, finally looking up: oh- sorry, what? completely zoned out there.
Tim as Red Hood: yeah man, i'm Jason, Jason's you, and you're B while he's at the dentist.
Dick: ...huh.
Green Lantern: IF YOU CAN'T TELL HOW THE FUCK ARE WE SUPPOSED TO?!

Robin, walking into the room: i'm here, are we starting the meeting soon?
*The rest of the league not giving him a second look*
Superman: ah, hello Damian. yes, sit down, we're starting soon.
Robin:
Robin:
Tim as Robin, angrily: oh fuck off- I AM NOT SHORT ENOUGH TO PASS AS DAMIAN.
The JL:
Damian as Red Robin, walking into the room and muttering under his breath: told you, you loser.

bonus:
*Red Hood, pouring himself a coffee in the Watchtower kitchen*
Arsenal, coming up behind him and pinching Hood's ass: hey sexy, you coming to mine after this thing or am i coming to yours? we went to mine last time, but i dunno the weather in Gotham this week, so your choice.
Red Hood:
Red Hood:
Arsenal: what?
Dick as Red Hood: this cannot fucking be how i find out you're fucking my little brother, Roy.
Arsenal:
Arsenal: are you fucking- STOP DOING THIS.
Jason as Batman, walking into the room and looking at them for a second:
Jason as Batman: please tell me-
Dick: you treat my fucking brother with respect, Harper.
Jason as Batman: *loses his shit*
Arsenal, staring at the ground chastised, as Batman cries from laughter on the floor across the room: ...yes Richard. I will.

Edited to add: Since a lot of people are reblogging this original post, I'm adding the updated version I did that incorporates the intersex circle...
I know intersex people are still getting excluded in a lot of LGBTQIA+ spaces (let alone wider society) and I think it's crucial to show this group is included in the statement that we all deserve equal rights.
given the current climate this pride especially i feel i must mention that i love my trans friends, i stand with trans people in the fight against transphobic legislation and those who would enforce it, and this blog is not a good place for you to be if you do not vibe with that
