It's taking a little longer than I expected, but I'm working on the next chapter of #badideafic

Ben and Rey are finally talking.... well, sort of. They're at least touching each other and that has to count for something, right? #reyloww
Another twenty minutes, or maybe it was closer to forty, she wasn’t sure, passed before the door cracked open, and Rey could feel her heart leap up to her throat as she spun around, watching a very family tall, dark-haired man enter the room. Ben. Her pulse was racing, stomach tied up in knots, and all she could do was stare at him, drinking in the sight of his flushed cheeks, his hair damp and curling around his ears, and dimples appeared as he flashed her a cautious smile. He’d shed his skates and the outer layers of his uniform, leaving in him in just moisture wicking leggings and a shirt that hugged every muscle, and….and… and god, he was gorgeous. “Rey,” Ben said, swallowing and appearing just as nervous as she felt just then. “Sorry, I – I tried to get here sooner but I had media duties, and Coach wanted to talk to us, and –” Whatever Ben was going to say was cut off as Rey’s feet started moving on their own accord, and she found herself quickly closing the distance between them, everything else fading into the background as she pulled Ben into a tight hug. “Oh.”

I had a big push on this one hoping to get it done by Adam's birthday. It is nearly there, just a few small tweaks needed.

I wanna see it, you wanna see it, it’s Adam’s birthday and he wants to see it; we all wanna see it. #SaveTheHuntForBenSolo #TheHuntForBenSolo
My art work called “Rey and Ben through the eyes of the force”. The painting is a large blue Kyber crystal and inside it you can see Rey on the top trying to send the blue lightsaber to Ben through the force and at the bottom you can see Ben Solo receiving the lightsaber. The background is indigo. Inspired by the battle in ep IX. Drawn in Procreate with acrylic and foil brushes and ink.

POV from the ceiling looking down at a bed. A man on his back with one leg bent up and another bent and pushed down to the side. He’s covering his face with a pillow. Between his legs, his partner rests her head face down against his abdomen. Like, right on his crotch. Who knows what she’s doing… Her legs are curled up and her arms are draped over his thighs with one hand against his ribs and the other tucked under the pillow he’s holding. She’s wearing a really cute striped nightgown or a dress. She also has a pixie cut which is beautiful to me.

You ever hear a song and think “yeah, I like that” and throw it on a writing playlist only to have it shoulder aside all the other tracks and demand to become the theme song of the story?

I am well versed in American racism and I can tell you that Greene, Mace, and Boebert have neither tired of white supremacy nor the patriarchy and are simply bitter that they are no longer young enough, white enough, attractive enough or useful enough to reap the rewards of Bondi, Noem, and Kirk.

I'd be really curious if someone better versed in feminist theory wrote about what's happening on the right. Because between Greene, Mace, and Bobert, we've got this bloc forming of women who seem tired of serving a patriarchy of sex criminals. And their rhetoric is starting to lean that direction.

#reylo #reyloww #reylofic
a black and white still of an empty First Order interrogation room with the same style of "chair" that Rey was imprisoned in on Starkiller Base Whirling on him, she yells, “What—in the galaxy and its every bloody system—was that?” She knifes her hand at the Twi’lek’s body, now slumped like a puppet against the interrogation device, his head bent to a hideous angle. “What he deserved. Better than,” Kylo grits out. He turns to her, eyes blazing. “You certainly didn’t seem prepared to do anything about it.” “I—you—” For seconds, Rey is so incandescent she can’t form a coherent thought. Throat tight and fists clenched, she burns at the ignorance of his accusation. “You think I wasn’t sickened by it? I was! It was vile! But I—the actual subject of the his thoughts—was able to ignore them and focus on getting the information we needed! He so obviously did it to distract us—you! You played right into their hands, again!” There’s barely an inch between them when she finishes. She’s shaking, too, with shock and adrenaline and the harsh reminder of her bondmate’s cruelty that lingers in the satisfied twist of his lips. “No one is permitted to think that way about you, Rey,” Kylo says in his softest, most dangerous tone. His breath is a hot kiss on her mouth, every syllable laced with threat. His fingers flex toward her. Rey jerks back. “Except for you, right?

drew a character based on a milky flower spider (Zygometis xanthogaster) in a mandarin tree! Such an elegant arachnid <3 #art #spider #spiders
Digital art of a character based on a milky flower spider (Zygometis xanthogaster) in a mandarin tree. An abstract border based on orange leaves surrounds the piece. The reference photo (taken by Nell Buckett in 2025) is in the top left corner. The photo depicts the spider, a female with large spherical white abdomen and brown markings, clutching a small green fruit and splaying her long skinny legs. To her right, taking up most of the canvas, is a human character inspired by her. The character is a woman in a pseudo-Victorian gown with huge white skirt and fitted bodice. She wears a white silk brocade jacket, decorated by white mandarin branches. The jacket nips in at the waist beneath her brown belt, then flares into ribbons representing the spider's legs. Each "leg" ends in a brown chevron border, mirroring the spider's chevron markings. These markings (in addition to spots) are also around the lower skirt of the dress, which appears to be hand-painted silk, and in the jacket's pointy brown collar. Under the jacket, her bodice is buttoned up to the chin. Her skin is unnaturally white, except for red lips, pink rouge on her cheeks, and a yellow triangle painted on her forehead (representing the spider's eyes). She has a beauty spot beneath one eye. Her expression, hidden in shadows, is friendly but sinister. Her white hair is swept into voluminous liberty rolls that mirror the shape of the spider's pedipalps. Behind her ears, strands of hair are angled like spider legs. Her left hand rests on her skirt. She wears several gold rings and long brown nails. The posture is relaxed, but the hand is claw-like; dangerous. Her right hand, also with rings and long nails, holds a parasol that rests on her shoulder. The parasol is green and represents the tiny mandarin.

Sure, monks loved their eels. But so did the nuns!

In 1235 Henry III granted a charter to the nuns of Godstow Abbey that included the rights to local eel-rents.

Or, rather, some rights. Turns out, the nuns couldn't get eels all year round...just in the autumn. 1/2
🗃️🧪
Meme. Painting of a group of nuns, sitting in a half-circle. They are all wearing back tunics and white veils and scapulars. The older nun in the middle, whom we'll call Sister Venjens, is pointing to a nun on her right. That nun, who looks like her name is probably Sister Elopine, has her own hand over her chest. Her cheeks are flushed, and she looks is moderately aggrieved. She is clearly being accused of something of bad (like stealing waffles) but not terrible (like trading waffles for sex). A nun on the right -- Sister Quantiphone -- is also pointing towards Elopine. She has Venjens' attention, and is likely offering corroborating evidence. Perhaps she followed a trail of waffle crumbs right to Elopine's room. But maybe she ate the waffles herself and is deflecting blame. The rest of the the nuns are watching this moment with reserved curiosity; likely this is not the first time these nuns have had a dust-up. Meme text reads: "Lots of eels in the fall nun the rest of the year"
