I’m terrible at this game… I thought I’d write little itty bitty responses, just a paragraph or two, but apparently i’m incapable of doing anything without a bunch of backstory. [1k, mostly sfw-ish. politically inadvisable PDA.]
Hux hates a lot of people, but he’s certain that he’s never hated anyone so much as the blonde in the backless dress. She’s some princess or other, Hux knows which one, but he doesn’t even want to think her name. She’s very pretty and just slightly too plump, with round cheeks and round hips and round breasts, her skin a soft, warm peach, her laughing mouth a lush pink. Hux is no great judge, unaffected by female beauty as he is, but he thinks she is most likely an astoundingly attractive woman.
Re: chuck wendig getting *fired* cause I can’t not say anything.
I love Chuck. You guys know that he’s one of the three SW writers I actually have feelings about.
I don’t love his writing. I didn’t enjoy Afftermath. I don’t really like his original fiction, and I’m so-so on his Vader related comics.
You know what I adore about Chuck?
What he brought to SW. He wrote unabashedly queer characters. He recreated Sloane, who was originally a kinda obnoxious junior officer, and made her into a brilliant, stunningly complex, powerful woman of color. He gave us a backstory for Hux that is truly compelling. He wrote about the Empire in a way that truly added depth to new canon. Whatever I think of his style, his substance is stunning.
You know what else Chuck gave me?
The ability to write. I learned so much of what I know about writing from his advice on his blog. He’s the reason I started trying short pieces, and he’s the reason I got passionate about constantly reaching for new ideas.
He’s also a continual fountain of positive emotion on Twitter, and he’s never willing to put up with assholes or gatekeepers. He’s a guy who is willing to talk about how shitty the world is to women and queer people and minorities.
We don’t (officially) know why he got let go from his SW commitments.Let’s not harass anyone about it, because Chuck has shown us time and time again that harassment is wrong. Instead, let’s support him by buying his works (even if, like me, you don’t love them) and by supporting him. Let’s ask him how he wants this handled, and show the execs we’re behind him 100%.
Chuck has been an unfailing defender of those who get harassed by the SW fandom. Don’t be a jerk in his name. Do right by him.
Also I feel the need to quickly clarify!
What I mean by this is that we should all go support Chuck 100% and protest Marvel Comics’s choices as a group, rather than targeting any one individual at their team.
(As a side note, are we terribly surprised that the company that continues to employ Nick Spencer did this?)
Another fantastic piece of art that I recently commissioned to @elviscl . I adore how she draws Charles Dance as Brendol Hux and I swear I can’t stop watching him!
So here’s the fact: AO3 has basically been the light of my days for the past couple of years. I wrote nearly three quarters of a million words in six years, and thanks to AO3 I could share them and get so much love for them.Â
With the recent legal changes in Europe, AO3 is going to face trouble. Legal battles cost money. I can and did donate, but I can do more. So here’s the offer:Â
quick sketches (up to 2 characters) for 10 dollars apieceÂ
examples:
and instead of payment to my paypal, you send me the receipt for the donation done to OTW (the organisation that runs AO3) for 10 dollars (the minimum donation amount).Â
Hit me over messages if you’re interested or send me an ask 🙂
