am i the only writer who googles a common word out of sheer panic that i don’t know what it means? i’m talking words that i use all the time. i’m so afraid of embarrassing myself
Okay get this : Poe Dameron does Drunk History (of the Rebellion)
Poe slammed the glass down with a loud clink. He’d had way too many shots of the home brew the pilots lovingly called jet fuel. Honestly, one shot of jet fuel was too much, so he was well and truly soused.
“Gather ‘round squaddies,” Poe said with a burp. “And let me tell you the story about the destruction of the first Death Stars.”
There had been a lot of new recruits recently, following Finn’s defection, and Rey’s return, so Poe’s muzzy brain decided it was a good time to educate everyone on what the Resistance had been built on: the heroism of those who had fought for the Rebellion.
A lot of those recruits who had lived on First Order heavy worlds would likely never have heard the story before, or never heard the full story. Force knows, Finn seemed to have the wrong idea about the whole thing.
Yes, Poe should educate the young mynocks.
“Commander Dameron,” General Organa warned. “Don’t do this again.”
General Organa was sitting off in the corner, ostensibly cataloging sine X-Wing parts, but actually surreptitiously watching her pilots get stinking drunk following a victorious mission.
“No, is okay, ma’am. I know what I’m doing,” Poe said, gesturing broadly. “I got you.”
Leia rolled her eyes. It was too late; almost everyone in the hanger was watching Dameron now. He was holding court, one arm draped around Finn. Leia could only wait to hear the version of the story he told this time.
“Okay, so. Okay. ‘magine the General, yeah? But she wasn’t the General back then, yeah? She was the Princess of Alderaan. And she was carrying the Death Star wotsits–now that’s a whole other story, how they got them. And phew, what the Bothans did for the second Death Star plans? But never mind. So, the General was on the Tantive IV. CR90 Corvette. Twin laser canon ports. Ion engines. Modified with some smuggler’s compartments, mind, and a sneaky third set of laser–”
“Dameron, nobody has a hard-on for ship specs except for you,” one of the pilots hollered to raucous laughter. “Stop fellating that ship and start telling the story.”
hmm this fully fleshed/developed out oc has something missing but what??
the very concept of nanowrimo genuinely terrifies and haunts me. i am scared of anyone that participates. who are you and how do you have so much power. i write one sentence and black out for the next week
Hi my name is mattel and I was founded by Matt and El (that’s how I got my name). i am wearing pink clothing with pink glitter, with a touch of pink financial ruin and corporate desperation. a lot of people tell me I am digging my own grave
today I was walking outside. it was neither snowing nor raining pink glitter which I was very disappointed about. I saw the Hasbro HQ. i put my middle finger up to it.
I had a Test today and got sushi takeout afterwards. It came with miso soup and salad, sealed for takeaway inside this giant-ass paper bag.
I finished the food. The bag is still in good condition and smells of tuna rolls and shrimp tempura.

#JustAlphaThings: Getting a wordcount of the Mattel AU and realizing the barely coherent thing you wrote to self-indulgently combat ur insomnia has reached 120,000 words in length. That's like. The length of Pride and Prejudice, holy shit.
You remember that post about the homestuck t-shirt design contest collaborating with hot topic? And how Hot Topic are the biggest art thieves? This is recent. As you can see above, I stumbled upon Hot Topic’s website and they are selling a very popular fan art put on a t-shirt, and did not ask permission from the original artist (rismo).
This shows Hot Topic still continues their art thievery. Hot Topic are still taking art from artists without their permission. This is disrespectful and appalling.
EXCEPT YOU DID GIVE THEM YOUR PERMISSION.
BY AGREEING TO TERMS AND CONDITIONS ON DEVIANT ART.
THEY SOLD IT TO A THIRD PARTY ROYALTY-FREE.

Okay. I just read through the “agreement” that DA has implemented, and it is truly heinous. I will not be posting on DA anymore.
