Skysolo - So Long, Sanity

🌻 Reblogs aren't the same thing as retweets. Post ''threads'' exist, but it's rare to have one person reblog their own post.

🌻 DMing people without asking is normally pretty rude, and not a lot of people are familiar with the DM system on here (called messaging) - there's been a lot of creeps on here in the past, so be cautious in messages.

🌻 People post their general thoughts in tags, so where you'd retweet and write your thoughts in the tweet then add hashtags - here it all happens in tags.

🌻 Most people have their intros and stats either in their bios or as their pinned post - the ''unpinning at x weight'' trend doesn't really exist here.

🌻 On desktop, you can customise your blog and add your own code, themes ect. it's really fun and a good time killer, but be aware all blogs look the same on mobile.

🌻 A bunch of features (search, post archiving ect.) have been broken for years. Don't worry, it isn't just you.

🌻 ED tags change every so often, but ''edblr'' has been the main tag for YEARS now. If you ever get lost, searching that and then clicking around will help you find active tags. The blue butterfly emoji has also been a backup tag for a while now, but the whole ''ricecaketwt'' ''lemonwatertwt'' thing doesn't have a tumblr equivalent.

🌻 If you click the three dots on the side of a post, you can see what date and time the post was made - it's perfectly normal here to reblog, like and respond to old posts.

🌻 Posting pictures of s/h is okay, but please make sure it's tagged properly. Tumblr has it's own tagging system, but it has to have a trigger warning for that to work.

🌻 If you're on desktop, downloading XKit rewritten is a massive time saver - it allows you to automatically add tags, blur out pics (eg thinspo) so you need to click on them, and a bunch of other useful things.

🌻 ''Thinspo imagines'' exist on here, which are basically short stories about what it would be like to be at your UGW in various situations. They're tagged as such, and some of them can be a little cheesy, but still really cute and often motivating.

🌻 For male anas and ftm/transmasc anas, the tags for that are as follows ''trans ana'' ''ftm ana'' ''male ana'' ''nb ana'' ''malespo/malesp0'' - pretty self explanatory.

🌻 There's no word count, but if you're writing a really long post, it's normally good manners to put a ''read more'', just so it doesn't clog up people's dashboards.

🌻 The concept of moots doesn't really exist - there are mutuals, but it's a lot more casual and there's no expectation for you to actually interact with your mutuals personally, aside from liking and reblogging some of their posts.

I have a lot, but I think these are currently my top three. Recently my motivation has been mostly about fashion

I want a thin waist, so thin my boyfriends hands close to wrap around me. I wanna be able to wear high waisted pants and skirts. I wanna feel sleek and stylish with my shirt tucked into my pants. I wanna feel pretty and cute when wearing skirts. I want to wear clothes snug around my waist, and have people wondering how it's even possible to be that skinny.

I wanna wear my boyfriends clothes and drown in them. And that's not easy when I'm pretty tall, I need to be skinny.

“Seriously, kid,” Han drawls once he’s got his breath back, his mouth curving as relief flushes through his face. Luke blinks up at him, lights flashing in his vision so that Han’s whole face is lit up by star fire. “Do that again and I’ll kill you myself.” Luke opens his mouth to retaliate and just like that Han leans forward and kisses him.

His hand curls round the back of his neck pulling Luke up towards him. His lips sliding against Luke’s own as his tongue pushes in past teeth and starts exploring. Luke holds onto him like a lifeline, fingers grabbing and gripping, sliding against warm skin and the rough canvas of Han’s clothes, the hard, blocky outline of his holster.

It occurs somewhere in the back of Luke’s head that this is really inappropriate, the air is hot and smoky and smells like laser fire, Chewie is yelling somewhere in the distance, but the part of him that’s stronger, the part that he really listens to yells back that this is Han. Han kissing him. Han’s fingers in his hair. Han’s mouth against his own, hot and wet and smooth as it covers every inch of him.

He’s been kissed before of course, drunken make out sessions and sloppy teenage kisses. Quick and messy and sweet, but this, this is definitely something different, something real, something that Luke’s been wanting to do since the beginning.

WHAT.

THE.

FUCK.

I lived, ate, and breathed Star Wars from age 2 until 2005 when RotS finally beat the enthusiasm out of me, and I have NEVER, EVER in all my reading on behind-the-scenes and makings-of heard of these shots. It’s a shame there was no relaunched edit of the original trilogy they could have slipped these in OH FUCKING WAIT THERE’S BEEN LIKE 3 OF THOSE NOW.

My latest piece: Our Blessed Rebel Queen, Carrie Fisher

done in watercolour and ink. 

Carrie Fisher has always been a great inspiration to me. As someone who suffers from depression and anxiety, I wanted to create a piece to bring me and comfort and strength. To look upon Space Mom and say “yes, I can face today.”

 his adoration for han is undeniable, but let’s not act like this dedication is one sided because it’s not! han is absolutely just as devoted to, and besotted with, luke as luke is to, and with, him. many fans make the mistake of thinking that this adoration is entirely one sided, when it is, in fact, equal. in episode iv, han knew he was going to leave the rebellion to continue doing work on his own because he’s not a people person, and he doesn’t like having too many people depending on him. he treated having luke and obi wan, and later leia, on the falcon with him as a nuisance and a chore. you’d think that he’d be perfectly content to leave them all behind and continue his life, but he doesn’t. he asks luke to come with him, and only luke. he doesn’t even bother to ask anyone else because no one else matters. his offer isn’t just a proposition for spending the rest of their lives together, but it’s also a show of han’s attachment and vulnerability. han leaves everyone he loves before he can get hurt, but now he’s opening himself to the possibility of attachment, new companionship, and, yes, pain. he never shows this same vulnerability to anyone else.

 luke is hurt because he believes that han is abandoning him, but he’s actually trying to do the opposite: he’s trying to bring luke closer to him and protect him and stay with him. and even though he leaves, he still comes back, for luke. nobody would expect anything to mean more to han solo than his own survival, but suddenly he’s putting his neck out for something, for someone, that means more to him than his own life. and that running into each other’s arms reunion at the end of the film?? it’s NOT between han and his eventual love interest, it’s between him and luke. one of THE biggest romantic tropes is two people running into each other’s arms, it’s right up there with kissing in the rain!

and it doesn’t stop there. han threatens to leave the rebellion AGAIN, and just like clockwork, decides to stay and risk his life because luke needs him. when luke needs him, no matter the danger, han will ALWAYS come running. his declaration, “i’ll see you in hell”, speaks to the fact that he is absolutely ready and willing to give up his own life for luke to get home safe, and if he can’t save him, he can at least be there for him so luke won’t have to die alone. he knows his chances are slim, but he doesn’t care. whenever he tries to leave, to try to free himself of this attachment and undying devotion, luke needs him, and he  gets reeled back in willingly. and when he finds him, he cradles luke with the utmost care and gentleness, even as he frantically searches for his breath, and his pulse, for any sign that he’s still with him. 

and then once luke is tended to health and it’s confirmed that he’s okay, han has the golden opportunity to leave the rebellion and forget about this whole mess, but he doesn’t. he stays and waits until luke is awake, and watches him floating in the bacta tank. the sight of him, all bruised and injured, is sometimes too much for han to look at, and throughout the scene he covers his mouth or paces around, thoroughly shook by the thought of him being hurt, and the thought of losing him. then, when luke awakes, han wants to make sure he’s one of the first things he sees, and sits as close to him as he can. they both look at each other with an unspoken, pure  adoration that has unparalleled throughout all the romantic elements in this franchise. 

even after luke vanishes, han’s devotion to him remains undying, since he’s been spending the past twenty years searching for him high and low. and when he finds the falcon, and the two kids with luke’s youthful, high strung hope, his own hope of finding luke and bringing him home again is rekindled. he says that he knew him with nothing but sadness and love in his voice and on his face. he knew luke once, but he hasn’t known him in a very long time, and he will do anything to know him again. and now he never will.
