When Ao3 Is Down For Maintenance

Darth Vader + Dramatic Entrances for @darthgalpal

Bonus:

Inktober no 13.

since it’s technically the 13th here in Sweden now (by about 1:30 hours) I’m posting it. XD

Cody and Obi Wan getting ready for another engagement against the Seppies. I absolutely love their close relationship in The Clone Wars series, they seem to work so well together and seem to know exactly what the other need to do during battle. 

I love it.

Reblogs are Love! Please help artists out by reblogging our art! Thank you!

My art are not to be used as refs. Thank you.

just a thought

people always say “why do you ship them, they’re just friends” or “gross stop shipping every two people of the same sex who make eye contact” well MAYBE if you gave us quality lgbtq+ representation that we deserve we wouldn’t keep doing this

Reblog if you remember Huntik: Secrets & Seekers and their super awesome theme song

just realized I understand Luke so much because I also did everything my parent wanted from me, well beyond what any child should be expected to do, in the hopes that they'd be pleased only for them to keep asking for more and more and more and never once putting me ahead of their own desires

only difference is that I went to therapy LMAO

So after spending most of this afternoon and evening having been sucked down the rabbit hole that is TV Tropes, I found this SUPERB description of Jim Butchers Codex Alera series of books:

“Magical Roman Legionnaires straight out of Avatar: The Last Airbender versus the Zerg, wolfmen with Blood Magic, telepathic yetis and white-haired elves. Riding ground sloths and terror birds. Sometimes, the Legionnaires fight each other, too.“

Yup, just as awesome as that sounds ;)

I keep seeing posts on social media thanking the OFMD cast and crew for their work and not mentioning Taika, and it's driving me to distraction because Taika is absolutely fundamental to the existence of this show.

There's a huge chance the show wouldn't have been picked up at all if Taika hadn't attached his name to it. And he didn't just attach his name and walk away - he played a key role in developing the show. David has said that he was looking at the history with Taika and they both went 'omg Stede and Blackbeard were fucking' and decided to centre the show around that. Taika pushed for Rhys to play Stede. Taika saw Nathan's comedy on instagram and went 'yep that's Lucius'. Taika was desperate to play Ed, and fought to play him. Taika has spoken about how much he loves playing Ed, how it made him fall in love with acting again, to the point where he wears some of Ed's jewellery and has gotten some of Ed's tattoos actually inked on him. He poured everything he has as an actor into Ed (some of the stuff he had to perform, particularly at the beginning of S2, is difficult) and the show simply wouldn't work without it. Taika directed the pilot. He loved the show enough to juggle filming S1 with post-production on Thor: Love and Thunder. When the show's budget was slashed by 40%, and could no longer afford to film in LA, Taika would have been key to moving production to New Zealand - and if that hadn't happened, S2 wouldn't have happened. When a director went off sick with Covid during S2, Taika jumped in to direct half an episode and then didn't take a director's credit on it.

You do not have to like Taika. You do not have to agree with everything he does/says. But what we are not going to do is erase the absolutely key fundamental role that Taika has played in OFMD. This show simply would not exist, probably not in any form, but certainly not in the form we see and love, if not for Taika's continuing and multi-level contribution.

Are you ever just working on homework or something and suddenly you’re hit with a wave of random emotion and you have to stop working for a second to appreciate how perfect your otp is.

Just middle of nowhere. Randomly. I could be counting paperclips it doesn’t fucking matter, it’s just random otp feels in the middle of my very important paperclip task.

Look at where you get your information. Make sure it’s reliable. Stop causing more pain to people already in a rough place.
