DO YOU LISTEN TO WOLF 359? I CAN'T ARTICULATE IN WRITTEN FORMAT WHAT MY PHYSICAL REACTION TO THIS WAS EXCEPT THAT IT INVOLVED ARM FLAPPING AND HIGH PITCHED NOISES OF EXCITEMENT. You are perfect person.
Aaaaah Iām listening to it yes!! I havenāt gotten very far, I tend to go through podcasts very slowly and the next bit is a two-parter and I havenāt had time to commit to that, so Iām not super far along, but yes!!! I love Minkowsy and Hera and Hilbert! And Iām ambivalent about Doug but oh well, he has his excellent moments and his eh moments. but YES SPACE IS GREAT and I am so confused about what the hell is going on on this station, itās so much fun. You are also perfect, aaah, I canāt believe how many fandoms we accidentally share??

I don't know if I've caught you beforehand, but I hope your wisdom teeth removal goes well and they heal quickly! May you have little to no pain during your recovery (but still take it easy!)
Thank you <3 I do actually still have a few hours to go, which means no eating or drinking not even water. ugh.
But soon itāll be over! And Iāll get ice cream and yogurt and smoothies and hot chocolate. And water :)
Hello! Happy New Year! May 2017 be kickass and funny and gentle and all those happy things for you and the world you live in. Thank you for being a great person. I'm glad we've had the chance to meet, and I hope you get to go on being awesome for many, many new years to come. Best wishes and be well and I may have pickpicketed 2016 of the housekeys on its way out the door so don't worry you're safe.
eeeee, thank you! wow see I was just thinking that 2016 was so long, I donāt honestly remember how many people I met when - and I realised that I didnāt find SW fandom until ReEntry, which for me didnāt happen til - uuuh maybe Feb/March? WHICH MEANS every SW fandom blogginghuman Iāve met, which is how I met you - I MET YOU THIS YEAR.
that is wild.
no srsly. lemme explain why this is important - or let me sum up, anyway.
I learned more about writing, and loving writing, from the fandom corner of this hellsite than from my own tomfoolery preceding fandom. I acquired many lovely, precious, brilliant humans on this hellsite.
and YOU, who have encouraged my AUs at the whackiest and crackiest, in any fandom. your commentary is SOLID GOLD, your words are inspirational, you see things that I did not see and that always makes it so much better. Pick-pocketed 2016? Youāve been badgering it the whole time it was here, passing by with an idle crack of a rolled-up newspaper to its skull and a prod in the solar plexus and an āIām sorry, was that your toe?ā I hope that I may ever return your gift of a brighter 2016 with more whacky and cracky fic and AUs and general writing tomfoolery.
I wish you the very best of 2017 and the years to follow, may your enemies bend head and knee and you and yours thrive and prosper.
Happy New Year, Andy! Are we okay with sidesquish hugs? I'm not sure. I'm very giddy right now, sorry. We don't talk much, but that seems to be okay. It's always seems easy when we do, at least on my end(?), and that's good. I'm glad I got to meet you. Have a good 2017. I mean it. Call me if it's not being nice. I've got a dictionary and an overabundance of pressurized ranting built up just waiting. I can browbeat it into good manners, just watch. You deserve a good year. Be well!
We are very okay with hugs, I love hugs <3 <3 <3 I love talking to you, when we do talk, and Iām very very glad that itās so easy; talking often is not very easy for me, so Iām glad that not talking often is good for you and this is maybe too many words to explain a very simple thing but oh well. I like talking to you!! I like the amount we talk too. We should do that soon.
You deserve a good year too <3 Iām going to try my hardest to have a fucking amazing year, but even if itās not amazing, Iām going to try to make it be better. We all deserve a better year.
29. became a fic rec Masterpost and overtook my entire night, really.Ā 40. which one of your stories would you most like to see as a movie/series
Ohhā¦ I would adore seeing Liura like that, I think, but I havenāt really given it that much thought yet.Ā The DragonFic, though - that would be something. I had so often wished to see that instead of what Once Upon a Time had to offer, in its later seasons. Iām salty.Ā Truth be told, I had a very particular original work at one time that Iād more or less abandonedā¦ Although it condensed itself and turned into a play for a senior-year writing class assignment in college. I might be persuaded to take another run at it, actually. And Iām not sure I like plays. I love the sheer amount of dialogue, to be honest, but not that description and directing has to be done somewhat separately. Thatā¦ could be funā¦Ā A very morally grey character, that was. Iām still rather fond of him.Ā
45. share the synopsis of a story you work on that you havenāt published yet
Oh dear. This is actually surprisingly difficult, since Iām in the process of ironing out details like how many years who was stuck where and squaring away with the idea that Iāll need to write some of Anakinās apprenticeship. But, umā¦ okay here goes:Ā
@deadcatwithaflamethrower this is the au I borrowed Terza forand to everyone else who wanted to know more about itĀ @punsbulletsandpointythings, @the-dragongirl, @myurbandream, @meggory84, @booksaresacredspew
A few tens before the Naboo debacle and the Battle of the Fates, Master Sifo-Dyasā dreams intensify past bearing. Well on his way to Falling, Master Dooku has realised that he is in over his head, and attempts to derail Darth Sidiousās plans by whatever means necessary. The most immediate solution seems to be to prevent Sifo from traveling to Kamino. Master Dooku does his utmost, but at best his efforts hold for all of one ten-day.Ā
On the other hand, he does have some non-trivial impact on the course of events: That first night, the pressure on Sifoās mind eases, and he has another, more immediate vision, involving Naboo and the possibilities a catastrophic loss will open in Dookuās future. After all, Sifo concludes, the loss of his Padawan may sever Dookuās last link to the Order that he can already see is failing. Master Sifo heads down to the Healersā Halls and persuades Jale Terza to take a team of Healers with her to Naboo, and keep an eye out for a pair of Jedi who are about to really need her help.Ā
Thus, the team of Healers is on hand to save Qui-Gonās life and bring him back to Coruscant. With Sifo gone, Dooku finds himself wandering down to the Healer Halls, watching his grand-Padawan sit in silent vigil at Qui-Gonās bedside. Over the next few days, he gets to know Obi-Wan Kenobi and tangles in a few interesting arguments with him, over the state of the Order and the Republic as a whole. Heās impressed to find a fierce and fiery intelligence here that is receptive even to his blasphemous remarks.Ā
Realising that perhaps he still has a chance to put a stop to Sidiousā plans, and even if he fails, he has some support left in the Order now - Dooku leaves to find Sifo. (He is not heard from for another decade afterward.)
Obi-Wan has been coaching Anakin all this time, keeping the Council well away. But with Qui-Gon recovered enough to move back to his quarters, the Council only waits a few tens more before assigning him a mission. Over an indignant protest, they insist that the mission is expected to be a short one, Jedi presence merely a formality to see that the vote be carried out legally. The vote in question is to determine a certain moonās entry into the Republic, and Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon have had some success negotiating conditions between the moon and its planet of orbit (which they are desperately trying to become fully independent from) in the past. With Qui-Gon obviously in no shape to go, Obi-Wan remains the most experienced and field-ready Knight.Ā
Unfortunately, the Council is woefully ill-informed of the situation on the Nak moon. The tense atmosphere and unrest of the last few months spark an all-out riot on the day of the vote and deteriorate into an outright revolution. A few days later, trying to guide as many refugees out of the capitol city as possible, Obi-Wan is injured. The refugees take him with them, but with little to no access to medical care, the injury is inadequately treated.Ā
The planet forcibly takes back control of its moon, setting up a blockade that prevents offworlders from entering the atmosphere and the native people from leaving. Thus, for all Qui-Gonās insistence before the Council that Obi-Wan is still alive but possibly injured and in danger, and would they please send someone to bring him home while heās Temple-bound with his own injury and a Padawan to train? - the Council insists that it is not possible.Ā
About a year of this, and Obi-Wan is enough recovered that his companions help him steal a piece of junk ship and set up a diversion to get him the hell off the godsforsaken moon. He breaks through the blockade, though not without his hyperdrive getting grazed by a lucky shot. Ah, the irony, he thinks, calculating his best chance of surviving a hyperspace jump.Ā
A year without a word from his former Padawan, nor any hint of change from the bond, but mostly recovered from the Naboo injury barring some remaining traces of pain - Qui-Gon is tired. He secures a relatively light first mission wherein he and Anakin are merely back-up to Master Ki-Adi, which allows Anakin to visit his mother on Tatooine. While there, Shmi notices his grief and comforts him as best as possible. They are unable to free her: Watto is in debt and quite simply cannot afford to lose her. (Nor are they able to pay his debts.) But at the very least they did come, they tried, they left her a tidy sum to add to her savings that she is keeping to one day buy her own freedom. Anakin feels better. Qui-Gon, surprisingly, feels better. They leave when Master Ki-Adi concludes his mission, but for certain Master and Padawan are closer than they were before.Ā
Less than a tenday afterwards, Obi-Wanās ship crashlands on Tatooine (āBugfucking dammit.ā) Though the Force is smiling down on him at least somewhat, because the first friendly face he sees is Shmi Skywalker, who agrees to take him in for a time. He repays her by fixing things, crafting things, āpaying rentā - really just setting aside part of the sum he does make from his work - for her freedom. He calls himself Ben, but Ben knows the name of Shmi Skywalker well enough. For the next three years, with traffic being what it is, and Shmi insisting that going to Jabba for a ship is a last resort of last resorts, Ben instead resolves to wait.Ā
Shmi tells him about her son, about the Jedi who came to see her. Benās heart aches at the thought that heād just missed them, but perhaps theyāll come soon. Or perhaps theyāll comm her.Ā
Two years of this, and not a word from them. But Obi-Wan knows sometimes missions like Mandalore happen, and the best you can do is hope that theyāre fine. [Creatively insert series of missions from hell here, since Outbound Flight is not for a while. Yay.]Ā In the meantime, still struggling with injuries that never quite healed properly, Ben tries to move through katas, but barely completes them and at a painfully slow speed at that. In the meantime, Shmi meets Cliegg and Owen Lars (through Ben, somewhat). Watto is eventually mostly bailed out of debt, and Shmi has enough money to buy her freedom. (Cliegg helps. Donāt tell her. She probably knows. Still - donāt tell her.)
Three years running like headless rabbits halfway across the galaxy and back, Qui-Gon Jinn is thoroughly past doneTM. His Padawan is also doneTM, and thank you very much. The Council can bloody well wait to stick a fork in them, Qui-Gonās decided: theyāre going to Tatooine. Theyāve seen slavers, theyāve seen corrupt politicians and corporations and theyāve seen the arse-end of crime in the galaxy, and theyāve both decided theyāve had bloody well enough of it. His Padawanās been worn to the bone and so has he, and hell if heās going to spend another month cooped up with him trying to tutor him Temple classes and astronav all the way back to Coruscant, by all the little gods, where theyāre just going to hand his Padawan more exams or another bugfuckingly insane mission. Fuck that.Ā
They land on Tatooine, only to find that Shmi is ā free? Married? and - Obi-Wan is alive thank the holy gods we didnāt just turn around and go back to Coruscant.Ā
Well, then. At least instead of leaving with Shmi, as initially planned, they leave for Coruscant with Obi-Wan. And throw him into Terzaās arms the moment they get back. On the bright side, though, while it will take a long time, Terza is optimistic about physical therapy and a few corrective procedures. Qui-Gon secures several monthsā in-Temple leave for Anakin to catch up with classes and actually for a change hang out with kids his own age. With Qui-Gonās help, Obi-Wan begins to change and adapt his saber technique into a more flexible form that will at first suit his injuries, then gradually allow him to push the limits thereof, while he takes over teaching a few of the courses at the Temple and helping Anakin with his classes. Anakin, effectively, found not only a brother on Tatooine, but a second Master.Ā
A few years of this easier rhythm, with a slightly lighter mission schedule, and then Qui-Gon and Anakin come back after that mission that was supposed to constitute Siriās Trials. You know, that mission with slavers that took two years for her to acquire enough evidence to even hope for a result? Obi-Wan takes one look at them and petitions that he be allowed to join them on missions thereafter.Ā
There may or may not be a skeevy Palpatine-controlled cloned Sifo also. We are entering the twilight zone, which is to say, Iāve run out of brainfuel to plot the entirety of the Clone Wars stretch for now. But rest assured, Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon do eventually come together in this one - somewhere in the Clone Wars time period. I do have that dance sequence more or less figured out. Thatās where most of my plotting has been, I am not ashamed to say.Ā

... As it turns out, this word isnāt in anyĀ of the documents I have open, even in the bits Iāve already published. That seems like a really weird word for me to not have??
So here, have a bit that I just wrote :D
Slick makes his way down the thin dirt road ā really, itās barely a path ā that theyād used to get up to the outcropping, General Skywalker quiet behind him; but sheās quiet in a way that means she wants to talk.
ideordinal replied to your post: ideordinal replied to your post: As with most...
I. Love. It. I mean, yes, itās outdated in a lot of ways, like the morality system (the lore behind it is good, and one of your companions is a good example of closed fist, but in practice they were obviously still figuring it out) but itās still really, really good. I love the story. The combat starts feeling better too, I promise. Itāll never be good, but itāll stop feeling so awkward. Kinda like figuring out how to shoot in the first Mass Effect.
ideordinal replied to your post: ideordinal replied to your post: As with most...
also there is a female romanceable by a female and a male romanceable by a male, but, againā¦outdated mechanics. And you have to be really careful with your responses.
I love morality systems. It does feel pretty familiar in terms of that, which is both good and bad- I donāt expect to be surprised, but I also expect thereāll be a twist with it later on (and Iāll probably start off going very open palm before sliding into closed fist and ending up mostly neutral by the end of the game like I did with KOTOR).
Yes, I suppose youāre right- I just need to figure out the system and make it work for me. I expect switching from the controller to keyboard might make it more versatile too.
I have seen both of those characters & the PC briefly here and there, but I donāt know much about them. Iām glad theyāre in the game, though, even if theyāre subtle. I never use guides for my first game of these things, so I donāt expect to trigger it unless I play through a second time, cause Iām starting to get the romances in the older Bioware games are a little like a potluck unless you know what youāre doing.
Iāll make sure to let you know what I think of it once I reach Plot Points when Iām done!!
ideordinal replied to your post: As with most BioWare games, both male and female...
YOUāRE PLAYING JADE EMPIRE!?
I JUST STARTED IT LAST NIGHT
i already kind of dig it? the combat is annoying me- itās so unresponsive- but thatās kind of to be expected in a game this old and Iāll power through it. I really like my PC & I like the characters Iāve met so far. I havenāt gotten very far into it yet- only just fought the bandits on the beach & a little past that, but Iāve heard a ton of really great things about it and absolutely zero spoilers for any of it so Iām really curious to find out the story. from this response, i take it you are a fan? :P
