Imagine how terrifying Liam Neeson's dick would be if it was both a grower and a shower.
WOW HOLY SHIT
ALSO HOLY FUCK I DIDN’T MEAN TO PUBLISH THIS
I hold no shame over my Qui-Gon Dick pondering.
honestly same
If he gets any bigger, he’ll pass out from blood loss every time he gets an erection
He’s tall he’d be good for like another inch or seven. Let the man have giant lightsaber.

The Writers of Star Wars: *Darth Maul literally cut in half and falls from very high up* This is completely survivable.
Also the Writers of Star Wars: *Padmé gives birth in a fully qualified medical facility* OH NO! A WOMAN HAS DONE A FEMALE THING. WITH A UTERUS. She died. Sometimes I can still hear her voice. She's gone forever! Oh no.

Using the appropriate vocabulary in your novel
It is very important that the language in your novel reflects the time and place in which the story is set.
For example, my story is set in Italy. My characters would never “ride shotgun”, a term coined in US in the early 1900s referring to riding alongside the driver with a shotgun to gun bandits.
Do your research! A free tool that I found to be very useful is Ngram Viewer.
You can type any word and see when it started appearing in books. For example…one of my characters was going to say “gazillion” (I write YA) in 1994. Was “gazillion” used back then?
And the answer is…YES! It started trending in 1988 and was quite popular in 1994.
Enjoy ^_^
This is really important, especially because language can change in very unexpected ways.
For example, did you know that before 1986 people never said “I need to”?Instead, they were far more likely to say “I ought to”, “I have to”, “I must”, or “I should”.
Don’t believe me?
Anyway, most people won’t notice subtle changes like that. But your reader will notice and be confused when characters in your medieval world use metaphors involving railroads and rockets.
One of the things you can do besides use Google Ngrams is to read books or watch movies written in the time period you want to set your story. The key here is that they can’t just be set in that time period, they have to have been made in that time period.
Also, there’s a Lexicon Valley episode on this very topic which I highly recommend. It’s called Capturing the Past.

Writing a character who becomes severely malnourished/dehydrated/sleep-deprived?
Here’s what you’ll need to know! Learn all about the wonders of the human body and add scientifically-accurate drama to your stories.
MALNOURISHMENT
- DEATH: average - 21 days (3 weeks), max ever recorded - 70 days (2.3 months)
- 6 HOURS: grouchiness and hunger due to lack of glucose.
- 24 HOURS - 48 HOURS: hunger very apparent; pains in stomach; body has entered ketosis and is using fatty acids as energy.
- 72 HOURS+: muscles begin to get broken down for energy.
- You will become: increasingly depressed, irritable, hysteric apathetic; decline in concentration, comprehension and judgement; social isolation and withdrawal; possible self-harm.
- If your character doesn’t eat for 5 consecutive days, they are at risk of Refeeding Syndrome. This is extremely dangerous and can be fatal.
recommended reading:
- The Minnesota Starvation Experiment
- Psychology of starvation based on the above experiment.
DEHYDRATION
- DEATH: average 3 days; some live 8 - 10 days
- for the calculations: TWV = total water volume in body; average adult loses 2.5 litres of water per day.
- Assuming that your character does not eat, drink or absorb any moisture.
- 9 HOURS/2% TWV: thirst, discomfort, dry skin, loss of appetite; 50% loss of performance for athletes; elevated body temperature, rapid heartbeat, fatigue, dizziness when standing, decreased fluid secretion (sweat, urination, tears, etc).
- 24 HOURS/6% TWV: sleepiness, severe headaches, nausea, tingling in limbs.
- 36 - 72 HOURS/ 6 - 15% TWV: no urination, seizures, muscle spasms, shriveled skin, fainting, vision dimming, delirium.
- 72 HOURS+/15% TWV+: Organ failure.
recommended reading:
- dehydration on the psychology wiki.
SLEEP DEPRIVATION
- DEATH: not known, but can stay awake for 11 days; max chronic sleep deprivation ever recorded (until death) - 6 months.
- NOTE: This does not mean you can stay awake for 6 months. It means you can survive that long with chronic sleep deprivation - going days without sleep and then sleeping once or twice.
- 24 HOURS: mental ability impairment of someone who has blood-alcohol content of 0.10%; everything is worse - emotional control, memory, attention, decision-making, hand-eye coordination.
- 36 HOURS: hormonal spikes everywhere; losing time; lack of motivation; head buzzing like you’re dehydrated.
- 48 HOURS: microsleep, regardless of what you’re doing (you fall asleep for 1-30 seconds and then become disorientated);
- 72 HOURS+: say goodbye to higher mental processes like decision-making and planning. Also, say good bye to saying goodbye because even simple conversations are hard.
- 80 HOURS+: … and hello, hallucinations!

where did the whole “slice across your palm” thing come from when you need blood for a ritual????”
Men wanted to look like sexy vampires by licking the palm of their hand. They should have the least done the back of the hand if it just HAD to be the hand; who cars if you look like some demented cat the skin is tougher and, since their veins closer to the surface the cut doesn’t even have to be as big OR as deep as it needs to be in the palm. Like come on, get rid of the pride and look like a cat and just give a little knick to the back of her hand. Where it hurts less and the skin is tougher. Don’t be a sexy-vampire, be a nyan.

Melida/Daan. The only thing that makes me wanna punch Qui-Gon in the Qui-crotch more than the first JA book when he's such a bastard to babyObi. (Also your live-blogging is A+ it makes me really wanna read the books but I don't know where to find them x'D)
Some lovely person uploaded the epub files for free and that’s how I’m reading them. I may hunt down all the actual books eventually though. I have the first three I think.
MELIDA/DAAN IS RUDE AND SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN WRITTEN OH MY GOD JUDE WATSON CAN EAT MY ENTIRE ASS
@markwatnae Ah, thanks you so much for linking me it! I NEEDED IT SO BAD. Also, like... *squints* I have the hugest urge to rewrite every bad thing that happens in the JA books. Obi-Wan deserved some not traumatizing moments damn it, that poor ginger child. Wasn’t there the thing during the Bruck Chun arch where he got scolded for saving younglings? Didn’t he get censure for the arch when he was getting sent to the Agricorps or something? Like come on, what is wrong with the Council and Qui-Gon. I just wanna take a stick and twack them all with it until they’re beneath me, because they’ve all already sunk low enough for me to reach them normally like COME ON.

@themsu82 replied to your post: okay people the time is drawing near that i must…
I gave you 40 suggestions I think I did my duty to this beloved AU lol
I just reblog it in case people miss it because I know some people follow Teeny Padawan that live in drastically different time zones than me
I don’t expect anything, and I’m super thankful for your suggestions and help
@markwatnae I know you’re appreciative Emily, I was just being a little shit XD Speaking of Edie in general! I forget what you’ve said about her hair. Is it naturally curly, naturally straight, or the type of thick hair where it’s straight if you brush/comb it but then goes crazy if you do nothing to it and just wavy/curls up?
themsu82 reblogged
this has been stuck in my head for 2 days straight so if i gotta suffer then so do all of you
You two need to see this right now immediately @obaewankenope and @markwatnae
@anakinskydala I just moved into a new apartment my neighbors don’t know me and now I’m sobbing with laughter. They probably think I’m nuts I hope you’re happy for sharing this onto tumblr (I love it thank you)
