Surprise

A new champion takes the stage,

A celestial wonder we shall now engage.

We ponder what it may be,

Another cosmic body to join our gle—

what the fuck

a lot of people talk about @fialleril‘s Tatooine Slave Culture

and I’ve read some really good stories and poems and songs.

But I feel like we’re all missing a large part of any culture, that which is the foundation for all the stories and rituals and prayers of any group of people.

We’re missing the children.

what are nursery rhymes but stories told by children? what are games but rituals performed by children?

-

Red Bird

Red bird, red bird, Come and play Depur’s at market for the rest of the day Take a friend to hide while we all pray Then red bird, red bird, fly away

-

Its a combination of tag, hide and seek, and duck duck goose

Everyone stands in a circle (holding hands or hand clapping is optional)

One child is “depur at market” who walks inside the circle and is only allowed to look at the person in front of them, as if examining the slaves being sold

Another child is Ekkreth, the red bird, and their job is to sneak around and “steal” a child out of the circle and hide them without “Depur” noticing

If “Depur” sees “Ekkreth”, then Depur must chase Ekkreth around the outside of the circle, attempting to tag Ekkreth. If Ekkreth makes it into an empty space from one of the “escaped slaves” then they’re safe, and Depur goes back to walking the circle. 

If Depur tags Ekkreth before Ekkreth can make it back into the circle, Ekkreth must go into the middle of the circle where they are now “caged”

Once Ekkreth is caged, Depur goes around and finds as many escaped slaves as they can. Meanwhile, any escaped slaves can sneak up and “free” Ekkreth by tapping them on the head. 

If Depur can find all the escaped slaves before Ekkreth can be freed, they win and are now Ekkreth.

If Ekkreth can free all the slaves without being caught, they win.

If Ekkreth is caught, but Depur cannot find the last slave, that slave wins, and they become Ekkreth.

Honestly Im on board for joel being the comet, and the comet itself just being a fucking car, comet car, i think its the perfect compromise between "car" and "we have this whole astronomy thing going on though"

I can't stop thinking abt this fic so i had to sketch

This is my favorite panel in the manga

@lesbians4kanan and I were discussing how cal just gives his full government name to literally everyone in the galaxy

(commission info // tip jar!)

Yall…

I just read the fic friend of humanity by bluestone_dragon recently (which, absolutely amazing fic btw, if you haven’t read it go do that rn) and I’ve also had tiny (humongous) Star Wars hyper fixation going on. And it just made me think.

What if instead of percy getting thrown into the Witcher, he was thrown into Star Wars? Specifically the mando civil wars.

Like, guys

The haat’mando’ade would adopt all of camp halfblood so fast it’s not even funny

Decided to make some Snapback memes since I made a bunch for Salvage and I'm definitely going to make more, but for now Snapback Memes part 1: Jaster edition.

(Spoilers obviously)

Part 2

The Renwood dynamic is immaculete

Okay okay, lore drop for these 2

MARTYN (inthelittlewood)

He's a mercenary hired by the royal family to "protect" the prince. He's hired from a country with a strong military discipline, and so the royals thought Martyn would be loyal to them and keep the prince in check, making sure he gives up on the throne.

Martyn IS one of the best warriors BUT he's a menace and decided to backstab them for funnsies. After finding the truth about the prince Ren, he decided to train him and help him to take his rightful place as the king. Dude litterly helps Ren to build up his confidence and have a wholesome/functional relationship

REN (renthedog)

Ren was sadly born as a lycan (werewolf - it's either a rare mutation or passed down genetically by the parents, but either way they are actively being exterminated). Since he is the first born prince, his condition was hidden from the society. His family made him to undergo countless operations and experiments which would "cure" him, howevere nothing worked. It just turned into pure torture which destroyed him mentally. One of the experiments mutated his genes so much, that he gained the ability to temporarily shapeshift as a different person after drinking their blood (yea superpowers). On the outside he appears as a charming and free spirited prince, who is just not interested to become a king, but he is pretty much just manipulated by his family. There were even some assassination attempts on his life (def conducted by the royals/nobles), but sadly he survived every time (dude is depresed). After these "horrible accidents" his family hired a new "special" guard to protect him. Turns out that his guard saw through his cool prince faucade and the intentions of the royal family and decided help him and work together to overthrow them.

Ps: the people made a lot of conspiracies why was the prince kept in the dark for most of his childhood/teens. And so people began to thought that he was trans. They accept his identity tho, it's better then going to kill him for being a lycan :]

The designs might change a bit in the future, but this is overall pretty much what I'm going for. Of course the otaku gets to be a samurai (I'm otaku as well •-• )

I feel like this is a regular occurrence throughout the clone wars
