I like like 2.5 movies and 2.5 characters but somehow Iām all in based solely on that. Main blog name is @walkawaytallblogs but I don't actually post there. ao3 | ffn
I was thinking about that moment in the Sound of Music where Captain Von Trapp rips up the Nazi flag. And then I thought there should be a version of that but with Bail Organa ripping up the imperial flag.
And then I thought, there should be an AU where Bail and Breha call up Obi-wan and go hey, we know youāre off being an ex-space-nun/monk but we have a whole bunch of children that we need your help raising. You should disguise yourself and come be our nanny.
And Obi-wan is like ā???? I left you with one child what do you mean you have a whole bunch now??!?ā And theyāre like āweāre not telling you because the mystery is the only way we can get you to visit.ā
So Obi-wan shows up and Bail and Breha have a whole mess of ex-padawans and initiates that theyāve found and rescued (definitely Caleb and Cal) and are now raising alongside Leia.
And Obi-Wan Kenobi cannot turn his back on that. More hope for the future than he even dreamed could exist. So he stays and teaches them how to hide themselves and eventually is convinced by Bail and Breha that itās okay to teach them to hope too. That the have to believe that one day it will be safe to be a Jedi again and then they will need the teachings beyond just how to hide their force signatures.
Then Bail and Breha both seduce Obi-wan together.
But eventually someone tips off the empire (one of the padawans has shit taste in partners) and Obi-wan and all the padawans have to flee to Spitzerland (Space Switzerland).
Pick your own adventure whether any combo of Bail/Breha/Leia goes with them for as sweet an ending as you like (although I donāt think Leia could truly stay out of the fight for long, no more than Owen can keep Luke from longing for the stars)
Anyways this has been The Sound of Meditation, another of my āI donāt know who this is for, this might just be for meā AUs.

So I saw some people remarking that they didn't understand why "liberals" are focusing on the disaster of the Reflecting Pool paint job, and ok so when you see stuff like that, I need you to remember we are dealing with a wannabe strongman. Anything that makes him look ineffectual, wasteful, and incredibly stupid-- you get that between your teeth and you don't let go. Especially *especially* when it involves laughing at him.
Also... it is funny. Except for the poor ducks, it's funny. Man lost a war to algae. His "American Flag Blue" is green and slimy and the paint is peeling off, and all before his big 4th of July show that no musicians want to play. It's funny. Point and laugh. That is fighting fascism, actually.
To add to this, I think itās incredibly important to hold on to whatās true.
We can see with our own eyes that the poolās green, but Fox News was insisting it was blue.
We saw with our own eyes that Renee Good and Alex Pretti were murdered in broad daylight, but MAGA influencers were insisting the officers acted in self defense.
We have a multitude of accounts of the horrors of slavery, but the administration has repeatedly tried to sweep all but the most palatable facts under the rug.
Laughing is important. So is identifying truth.
The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.
no no no put me back in the loop I almost did it perfect please put me back just a few more tries and I think I could really nail it please put me back
Y'all, I'm in Grand Rapids, Michigan, so not even as close to the fires in Canada as a huge chunk of the state. I spent the day in a single bedroom with the door closed, A/C off, and a HEPA filter running nonstop, and I have been able to taste the air all day. It's horrifying. I'm getting a headache. And I'm not even in the areas with the worst air quality by far.
(Also, my state is still enduring both a heatwave and having the most cases--by far--of that parasite that's going around. What is happening.)

if we ever lose costco, like if the good things about it ever get hollowed out, i think that will be the final blow to our national soul and we need to all just lie down and say goodbye with pride
I can attest to the fact that Costco's insurance remains the absolute best insurance I've ever had, and most of the insurance plans I've had have been above average. Like, I worked in the oil industry (I know, I know) and the company I worked for prioritized employee benefits quite a bit. Their plan was really good! Costco's insurance was still better.
Even though I never, ever want to work retail ever again, I still love Costco as a company. I truly hope they never change.
I am allowed to hold both the concepts of "my country is a nightmare for anyone who isn't rich and the world cup tourists will only see the good parts and that is by design" and "the world cup tourists coming away from this by genuinely falling in love with the good experiences they have here and how there is so much joy even for our weirdest most American shit" simultaneously.
Yes it's only the richest people with money to burn having a great time, yes our administration is still doing awful police state immigration shit to the visiting teams let alone the fans, yes this place is still a nightmare for everyone else
but there is still joy to be had and while that doesn't erase the bad, the bad does not erase the joy
The storm continues, but when there's a momentary break in the clouds we're allowed to bask in the sunlight
You can make a smoke-grade air purifier at home relatively cheaply, and it's actually better quality than a lot of air purifiers on the market!
Also linked here. (Too much text for me to transcribe but you can get it on their website!)
This is a great activity to do with little ones as well, since they're much more vulnerable to smoke (and it can be like a fun craft activity with them)
Stay safe, check in on your neighbours, keep your pets inside, drink lots of water, and yell at politicians!
You. Yes, you. If you live in a "great lakes" state or in Pennsylvania or New Jersey, the air quality is absolute shit right now.
If you have a rescue inhaler, keep it with you. If you have a steroid inhaler you take sometimes, now might be one of those times (but check your doctor's instructions).
Avoid going outside. Consider wearing a mask. You might want to use a saline nasal spray or rinse (just be sure to use distilled water). Turn on an air purifier if you have one.

I need to be so real right now: if you got married when a solid handful of your friends were still single, you do not understand the particular brand of singleness that your last single friend experiences. Thatās okay! We all have different life experiences! But being single in your twenties when your friend group is a solid mixture of single people and couples is a completely different experience than being single at 38 while basically all of your close friends are married. The MA at my GPās office asked if she could hug me the other day because I broke down about something and I realized it was the first time Iād been touched by another human in weeks. I have all this *~freedom*~ to do things, but up until recently, have had to do a lot of those things alone because a lot of my friends are stay-at-home moms with young children and they canāt or donāt want to drag kids to events. Thatās okay and valid! But it does mean that I have spent the last 12+ years of my life primarily doing things by myself. I donāt even think to ask people any more because I spent so long hearing that people couldnāt come to things (I do recognize assuming people canāt go is a Me Problem and am working on it, but the problem originated with very real circumstances).
This isnāt the Pain Olympics. Iām not saying that I have it worse than my married friends in any one area. Itās just a different kind of frustration and thereās not a way for you to fully understand it if you werenāt the last single friend.
Hello lovely folks! Next month we're celebrating our favourite couple as is our yearly tradition, and we're here to tell you all about it so you can get started on your fanworks š
š How does Han/Leia Appreciation Week work?
This year, the event will run from August 17th to August 23rd, and there are two prompts each day that creators can fulfill with: fanfic, fanart, gifsets, graphics, fanvids, headcanons, crafts, playlists, rec lists. Youāre encouraged to tag your posts with #hanleiaweek2026 so we can reblog them! After the week is over, weāll share a masterlist with links to the works.
You can show your appreciation in many ways; however, please keep in mind that it has to be a creation of yours of some sort (e.g. donāt repost other peopleās fanart, gifs, or unedited pictures; don't use AI). Rec lists should include a link to the original source both for fanfic and fanart (more on this after the cut).
š„ The prompts
Monday 8/17: Names / Dates
Tuesday 8/18: Snow / Stars
Wednesday 8/19: Favorite scene / Favorite quote
Thursday 8/20: Afraid / Amazed
Friday 8/21: AU / Canon divergence
Saturday 8/22: Now / Forever
Sunday 8/23: Free day!
You can use only one of the daily prompts, combine both, reinterpret them, or skip the day if you canāt think of anything. If youāre not able to post on the same day for a prompt, youāre still encouraged to share it through the weekājust donāt post works for a certain prompt before the day corresponding to that prompt.
š š š
FAQs and Rules under the cut - please read!
š Can I post my work to another site and share the link on Tumblr?
Yes! This is a good option for people who might want to create explicit art that could be taken down on Tumblr, write a long fic or multichapter, or make videos or playlists.
š Does it have to be a new creation? Can I finish and post a WIP?
It has to be something that has never been posted anywhere else before, so finishing and sharing a WIP is okay! If it doesnāt fit any of the prompts, you can share it on Free Day.
š Is this event open to all ratings?
Yes! Just remember to add a note at the top if your work is rated Mature or Explicit, as well as if it has any major trigger warnings, and use a āRead moreā cut if youāre posting the whole work on Tumblr so everyone can safely browse through the entries.
š Are there any length or quality requirements?
Thereās no min. or max. length for fanfic or quality level for art, but please note that AI-generated works wonāt be accepted. For gifsets, thereās a minimum of two gifs (that must be made by you!). For playlists, thereās a minimum of five songs. For rec lists of fic or fanart, thereās also a minimum of five recs. Some more questions you might have about rec lists:
- How do I share someone elseās art without posting a picture? You might post a thumbnail that crops a preview of the piece; if the piece has a title, you might use that; you might describe it; or you might say something like āthis piece by [artist]ā, and link to the source.
- What if I found a fanart on Google? Try to find the original source using reverse search image.
- What if I canāt still find it, can I just say ācredit to the artistā? In that case, please just donāt share the piece.
- What if I know the artist but donāt have a link to the original source? Naming the artist and linking back to where you found it is okay, in that case.
š Can I write for canon/Legends and include other pairings?
All canons, time periods, headcanons and AUs are welcome, and youāre allowed to include side pairings, except for R*eylo. However, keep in mind that this is a Han/Leia appreciation week - at the risk of sounding repetitive, works should focus on appreciating Han and Leiaās relationship!
š Whatās the time zone for the event?
Please donāt worry too much about time zones: when we say ādayā, we always mean āwhenever that day is for you in your part of the worldā - i.e.: if itās Monday for you, you can post your work for the Monday prompt.

It is! Itās a badger I painted, actually. The why isā¦basically, when I was setting up my account, I wanted to have a profile pic but didnāt want anything associated with any online accounts Iāve attached to my real name, and Iām pretty sure I just picked something that was mine, so I knew itād be unique, and I wanted something that I knew I hadnāt posted anywhere else so it couldnāt be connected to my real-life accounts.
I think I painted that badger when I was first thinking about getting a badger tattoo, so badgers were on the brain, but the tattoo I got is a totally different style.
