So, the people (aka @brynnmclean and @ladytharen) have spoken! They chose the queer Rogue One AU (Jyn/f!Cassian + Baze/Chirrut + Bodhi/Luke) for the Theoretical Fic, which was spawned by @therebelcaptainnetwork’s Friday prompt (“hope”). Like everything ever, it grew well beyond anything I anticipated. OH WELL.
fandom: Star Wars
characters: Jyn Erso, Cassian Andor (as Cassia); Jyn/Cassian, implied Bodhi/Luke
verse: the queer Rogue One AU, of course!
length: 2k
stuff that happens: Jyn and Cassia after the bedsharing!

Not dead. Home safe.
Hugs for EVERYONE*
*hugs you all* Because today is a day for hugs, and I’m going to run out of spoons if I go putting hugs in everyone’s ask box.
Feel free to reblog this to give a hug to every one of your followers.
*who is comfortable with being hugged. If you do not like hugs or are uncomfortable with physical contact, or even just prefer not a hug from someone not a mutual friend, cookies or other snacks suitable for your dietary needs and restrictions.
If you’re a Non-Muslim and you see a Muslim praying in public, could you please not pass in front of them?
Go behind them, but not in front. 👍
Oh, signal boost! I didn’t know this.
Okay, but also: if you see a Muslim praying in public and they have something in front of them, like a purse or a bag or something like that, you can pass in front of them, but pass in front of that object.
it’s called a sutrah, and it’s meant to act as a physical barrier between the person praying and someone who might happen to pass in front.
Also, if you did this and didn’t know, please don’t beat yourself up over it. Now you know! Muslims aren’t supposed to pass in front of Muslims praying, either, because prayer is communication with God and you don’t want to break that connection.
Spread culture, respect customs, be good people. Simple as that.
Didn’t know this.

Similarly, if a Jew is saying the Shemonah Esrei prayer (whispered, moving only the mouth, standing facing east with legs together) don’t go in front unless there’s a barrier.
Me: *shows basic human decency to cashier
Cashier: ??!?! Thank you! You’re the nicest person ever!
Me: are you ok
Reblog if politeness to retail and service workers is important to you.
LOOK AT THE LITTLE LEGS

@neurodivergent-crow baaaaaaaaabbbbbbeeeeee

It’s punchy o’clock on Sunday at Philcon, and we’re all being a little silly. @deadcatwithaflamethrower @jabberwockypie @norcumi
well…that was unexpected.
“We’re the most useless race. We cannot do anything. When the camera’s off. I mean, the state of us. We’re all just half baked and dead by the side of the set.”
Writing Star Wars fic like:
no no no you can’t just make up the name of an object/material – better research that shit…. *checks Wookieepedia* Wow… that’s… even more stupid than I could have imagined.
You absolutely can make up names. I do it all the time.
The trick is to realize that the Expanded Universe is just fanfic that happens to be published in book form. It’s no more canon than any other fic. You can use its fanon if you want, but you’re not bound to it.
The vast majority of “spacey-sounding” names in Star Wars come from the EU. There’s actually very little technical jargon in the films, and there’s no ridiculous Space Profanity either. People say “hell” and “damn”, not “Sithspawn” or whatever nonsense the EU is using this week. If the movies weren’t PG, Han Solo would definitely say “shit” and “fuck”.
