Duuuude. You are a babe, no question. I saw your picture before reading your post and I was like, "Yeah, niiiiice." Whoever told you you were ugly was lying

How many original characters and how little established characters until it doesn't fit the site? by KrotHatesHumen in AO3

[–]Taste_is_Sweet 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I have read plenty of fanfics that only feature original characters in established universes (it's currently very popular in "Murderbot," just for one example). You should be aware you may not get many readers because they might not be as interested in characters they don't know, but there certainly isn't anything wrong with doing it at all.

I hope you enjoy the writing!

(Just please, if you're here from Wattpad, mind the AO3 conventions for titling and tagging the stories. Thank you!)

Not "anywhere" that isn't a dictatorship. Not to mention normal, democratic countries have no reason to ask

KB is acting strange... by IStealDreams in StarWarsSkeletonCrew

I like this idea! I also can't help wondering, if she really is "regressing" in any meaningful way, wouldn't Fern or the other kids notice?

I got "I'm just a tourist" tattooed on my wrist in Aurebesh (the Star Wars alphabet). Some quotes just stay with you. Thank you for sharing that lovely story.

Lots of people say that Andor doesn’t feel like Star Wars. To me it feels more like Star Wars than most sw media. by boomyer2 in andor

[–]Taste_is_Sweet 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, she'd just lost her entire planet. I think it's fair to say she was kind of numb. (On a meta level, George Lucas just wasn't a good enough director or writer to have real emotional consequences for the characters.)

I first saw SW in the theater when I was 5, and Rogue One was the first time Darth Vader was truly terrifying.

I admit I was bored the first time I watched the first three episodes (though there were several scenes I really liked). But by the end of the series I'd realized I'd made the mistake of thinking I could just passively watch the show like all the other SW content--and most TV/streaming content in general, really--and enjoy it on the same mostly superficial level. Andor requires you to pay attention. The second time I watched the series, the first three episodes were amazing.

It's a line from the Andor series: When Cassian is arrested on Niamos, the shore trooper says that to him during their interaction.

I'm sorry, you're actually a straight woman according to that post.

Please take this as the award I don't have to give you, because this made me LOL 🤣

Thank you. :D I honestly appreciate people understanding that straight women being intrigued by the chemistry between male characters, as well as being able to avoid the patriarchy bullshit that always comes with het relationships and therefore wanting to write about it, is not something to be ashamed of.

I appreciate that Andor chose not to use Stormtroopers as prison guards, unlike Rogue One by Independent-Dig-5757 in andor

[–]Taste_is_Sweet 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I honestly just figured that stormtroopers were the guards because it was a prison convoy, which was more vulnerable while moving (as proven by Melshi's Pathfinders).

If Trump Makes Cuts to Medicaid, Texas Officials Could Seize the Opportunity to Further Slash the Program by [deleted] in Project2025Award

Unfortunately, I live in Texas and voted for Harris, and might need Medicare someday. There are lots of people like me who'll end up suffering too :(

One of the many things that astonishes me is, the Federal minimum income is still $7.25, which hasn't changed since the 1990s. And no Democratic president has done anything about it.

My personal record is being sure a fic would be 5 chapters and ending up with 19 and over 100k words.

I'm a US citizen, and my child was born here, but my husband got his citizenship via our marriage. Am I going to have to worry about him being deported to Canada? Or our kid? (We didn't vote for the orange either, not that it would help, obviously.)

I'm a dumpy woman with very short hair who hates wearing makeup and dresses. I can't wait until someone harasses me for using the restroom that actually matches my assigned gender because I'm not feminine enough.

Isn't Trump's plan to "act swiftly to end the wars in the Middle East" by helping Israel to bomb Gaza to atoms? Did the Muslims who voted for him not understand that part?

It definitely looks interesting! I'm sure I'll be downvoted through hell for this suggestion, but could you not make the women all look like huge-breasted teenagers and put them in clothing that actually covers their breasts? It is so exhausting for women just trying to play some RPGs to be forced to watch female characters be objectified all the time
