Fic Masterlist

Obi-Wan and Ahsoka:

against the dying of the light: Sometimes your master's master has more influence on your training than you think. And sometimes they send you a physical reminder.

i saw waves lifting the sea: queer grandmaster-grandpadawan bonding. that's it. that's the fic.

softly in the gloom they heard the birds: you know that meme where the two characters are both trying take a bullet for the other??? yeah.

it's cold on the floor: very short one-shot that i wrote entirely for the joke at the end. potentially the only thing i've written that doesn't contain any angst

Obi-Wan and Anakin:

i owe it to my brothers: an anthology of obi-wan and anakin snippets, currently very short

Disaster Lineage:

fallen sentries: A post-Lawless Arc story focusing on Obi-Wan's particular method of grieving, and how Ahsoka and Anakin have to figure out how to deal with it.

resemblances: Ahsoka looks back on her masters and her training during her time in the Rebellion

come by it honestly: a snippet of Obi-Wan and Ahsoka dealing with Anakin's nonsense, even (especially) when he's not around.

you cried when you cut your hair: exploring lineage dynamics through padawan braids

Other:

rumors: Korkie knows about the idle gossip of his aunt's court, but it can be difficult to separate truth from baseless speculation.

ori'vode: Cody is (unintentionally) emotionally assaulted by a preteen [i had to make this summary humorous because i DID cry while writing it. multiple times]

ahsoka tano gets her man: the fluff filler episode of clone wars i always wanted but never got, feat. obitine, korkie and ahsoka friendship, and obi-wan and ahsoka bonding.

to catch a tooka: it is a truth universally acknowledged that all stray cats must be in want of a teenage girl to adopt them

the final standing domino: Omega gets curious about some old holos Echo is looking at. Angst ensues.

scars: Obi-Wan and Cody snippet from the early Clone Wars, feat. Cody acting his (physical) age for approx. 2 min.

sabacc face: trapped in an escape pod? nothing to do? consider card games and accidentally digging up old family drama/trauma

it's every breath that comes before: short qui-gon death fic. his pov for the theed generator fight in tpm. i made myself sad

the sincerest form of flattery: omega is growing up a little too fast for hunter's taste, and not fast enough for hers (fluffier than it sounds)

AWOL: an angsty one-shot written in honor of cody's first awol-iversary

Modern AU:

and we don't notice any time pass: the main body of the modern au. constructed almost entirely of song lyrics, nostalgia, and and found family tropes. the clone wars but make it napoleon dynamite. sort of

#pinned post #renovating and updating the blog #don't mind me #changing all the stuff i did when i first joined and thought my tolkien sideblog was going to be my most active #before the star wars brainrot #tbh i think switching my icon from the bonfire to Judgmental Cody (TM) has really altered the mood #aj writes

stuff my brain is fixated on at dumbass-early AM: so...uhhh... Lark couldn't have hated Henry _that much_ then? right?

because yeah he drew blood of the unsung hero like a complete dumbass buuuuut also he didnt run away. He clearly stayed with the family. During the proto-DADDIES in the lil flashback (1st Church of the Doodler ep) he is there. Part of the van crew and all

like ....if we didn't have that flashback it coulda been argued his hate went deeper and he skedaddled right at s1's end, only to come back once all the dads were long gone etc etc

AND ALSO!!! why did he even do the thing?!?!?! frm a Willy mesg?!?!?! not exactly a person he had much love for either! (altho that one does work under complete dumbass hypothesis. Adults are thr worst, surely the Purple Robe lied too...lets test it out real quick during movie-night, no bigs)

#lark and sparrow #maybe just a bit of a ramble #dungeons and daddies #hyperfixation my beloved #no braincells just podcasts #sorry headcanons just keep spilling out

Great for journalers or note-takers I got this for my daughter and she absolutely loves it. In fact, she has so much good to say that I ordered one for myself. She loves the fact that she can take notes or make comments without obscuring the original text. She says it feels good in her hands and the paper isn't so thin that ink bleeds through. Awesome value! Go to Amazon

I love this bible because there's just enough journaling space on ... I love this bible because there's just enough journaling space on the side. Some that I have seen look really busy and distracting with their journaling lines on the side, but this one is completely what you make of it. Would absolutely recommend for someone who's looking for a bible to make small notes and reminders in. Go to Amazon

10/10 I love this Bible! I have both the NIV and the NKJV. I like the NKJV because it is possible to get larger print. I love the NIV translation. This is a high quality Bible. You won't have ton worry about the spine breaking or accidentally tearing pages. The pages are only mildly translucent, much better than most Bibles. The pages are silly and cut well. I use it with watercolors and liquid pens and it works very well! I only wish I could find a larger text version. Go to Amazon

Thin pages, and weird yellow color of pages I love this bible, it is perfect for being able to write in the margins. The only things I wasn't super impressed by was the color of the paper, it is very yellowy, so if you color in it some colors come out odd. Also the pages are still very thin, so make sure you use an ink pen or something that won't bleed. (I bought some illustrated faith brand bible markers and with a light hand they work great). But other than that I love it! I love the way the cover looks and feels. very pretty. Go to Amazon

Love my note taking bible Love, love, love this! The Bible is beautiful and I enjoy that the flowers are textured into the faux leather, giving it a nice feel. There is ample space inside for note taking, both in the lined margins and at tips and bottoms of pages. Some slight cons- The place holder ribbon is a lovely blue, but it clashes with the outer cover. Also, the paper is a pale yellow, not white. This might be an issue if you're purchasing the Bible to color in, or if you have a hard time reading with lower contrast. However, for me this worked fine. This has become my main bible, and I have so enjoyed reading it while taking notes, and bringing it with me to church to take notes directly from the sermon. I hope to give this bible, with my notes, to my kids one day. Go to Amazon

Great for notes and references Great bible for note takers and doodlers. My wife loves to take notes and draw on her bible and this bible gives her the space to do it all Go to Amazon

Small font! The Bible has very small font and cannot be exchanged once discovered. I am allowed to return it but there is a charge. I was pretty disappointed with this. I can read it with glasses, but there is so much on a page that it's not that enjoyable to read. I don't have a complaint with the quality.. The cover is attractive, etc. I just didn't expect it to be so small, without free prime exchange option. Go to Amazon

Great Find I bought this for my wife and a friend and they love them. They are taking a journaling class and they say the other participants have commented on how well these bibles are laid out for journaling. Go to Amazon

I like it. Five Stars We bought this for your other granddaughter and she reads ... Five Stars Five Stars Love this bible Amazing Bible! Five Stars I love it! Perfect for what i want it for ... Five Stars

Insight from two weeks of hell at a Christian summer camp via /r/atheism

Submitted September 17, 2017 at 06:26PM by KenHamIsAnnoying (Via reddit http://ift.tt/2yhkri9) Insight from two weeks of hell at a Christian summer camp

When I attended church, I was a bit different from my fellow “siblings-in-Christ.” Instead of thanking God and dancing and singing during worship time, I was busy wondering how many humans can fit into God’s anus. Judging from the many Bible stories that I’ve heard over the years, I’ve always pictured God to be a huge ass, and from that, I logically inferred that He must have had a huge asshole too.

Unfortunately, my mother did not share my perspective, and in order to strengthen my faith in my “Creator,” she got me to volunteer at a two-week sleepaway camp that encompassed everything: cabins, athletics, camping, singing, swine flu, and of course, Christianity (because how can there be any fun without religion?). In fact, the mission of the camp was to bring us campers and volunteers closer to Christ through sports. Or something like that. I didn’t pay too much attention because I was only there for the volunteer hours.

Surprisingly, I didn’t have much against the people who I met at the camp--rather, it was their ideology that I disagreed with. The people there were relatively nice to me (although I think being a straight male helped), and for the most part, no one displayed obnoxious behavior (except this one kid who purposefully sprayed water on everyone, but I think he was trying to compensate for something).

Every morning from 6:45 to 7:30, I was required to read half a Bible chapter and do my morning devotions. Since forty-five minutes was way too much time for any competent person to read five paragraphs, I reread the stories about David. I was always taught that David was one of the greatest kings because he obeyed God, and as a child, I resolved to be like David. After rereading the chapters, however, my mentality changed, and I concluded that God was nothing more than a sadist and David probably had a mental illness. It’s kind of disgusting how anyone could read the stories of David and still proudly claim themselves to be a “child of God.”

I’ll provide a brief summary of David’s deeds if you are not familiar with him. It all started when David got a boner after peeping at a woman showering. The guy was filled to the brim with testosterone and was determined to let loose some sperm. Without going into the details, David basically killed the woman’s husband after getting laid. Then God got pissed and gave the finger to David by killing David’s innocent son. Some time before that incident, David and his dudes went out one day and demanded to another guy, Nabal, that he give them whatever food he had. Nabal told David to fuck off, and David got pissed and was about to kill Nabal and his entire family and workers (we’re talking about innocent people here) until Nabal’s wife gave David what he asked for. Essentially, the Bible teaches that it is fine with God for you to kill anyone who insults you and/or doesn’t give into your demands. But don’t worry! Only Nabal got killed in this story, and David’s wankie doodler got hard again and he married (fucked) Nabal’s wife.

After a while, David went to war and killed several hundred thousand soldiers, which I guess was pretty normal back in the day. However, when David conquered cities, he put everyone (which literally meant everyone: men, women, children, elderly, livestock, pets, etc.) to death. I could not understand is how Christians can accept this fact and continue to exemplify David’s reign without any second thoughts. Did I mention the time when David sawed off the dicks of two hundred men?

Anyway, after devotions, we had Bible study, because I definitely needed another hour of Jesus to make sure I was serving God with a willing heart! Throughout this time, I kept waiting for the discussion of homosexuality to pop up, and sure enough, I was not disappointed. My counselor, a narrow-minded troglodyte, informed everyone that God created sex to be solely between man and woman (although how Jesus came to be, I had no idea). Are homosexuals inherent evil-doers in God’s eyes, then? The counselor answered “yes” to this question with full confidence. Keep in mind, though, that this counselor also admitted to smoking weed as a teenager, so I doubt that it was really his place to dictate where a guy is allowed to shove his penis into. This just goes on to show the hypocrisy associated with Christianity.

While discussing why God sends natural disasters when he’s supposed to be all-good, my other counselor, another caveman, explained matter-of-factly that God created them to test our kindness or whatever. In other words, God is apparently justified in killing hundreds (thousands) of people because it gives Christians a chance to help other people and show others how caring the followers of Christ are. I wonder what my counselor thought about Joel Osteen during Harvey.

Sometime after this, the same counselor told us that marriage should only exist for Christ, and that focusing on one’s spouse would only lead to separation from God--the only person that we should really be married to is Jesus. While this perspective is ridiculous, it does explain the exceedingly-high divorce rates among Christians.

Funnily enough, by the time camp ended, I hadn’t told anyone that I didn’t believe in God. Perhaps it was wuss-like behavior on my part, but in truth, I was just worried that they would refuse to give me my volunteer hours. Now that I’ve written about my experience, though, I am considering to either send this essay anonymously to the camp, or pretend to be a homosexual while applying for next year’s volunteer position to see if the camp has discriminatory hiring practices. What do you think?
