Feb. 21st, 2026 10:46 pmAll the links should soon be rederected to the trade post there rather than the one I have here. It's also in the first sticky so you can still get to it through this journal if you need to.
very tired
Feb. 20th, 2026 04:27 pmI don't like coming on here to just complain and nothing else, but idk what to do at this point. Maybe rambling about other things could help lift up the mood at least a little bit.

My general preferences are here.
DNW: unrequested mundane AU | female characters in fridges | non-con | violent dub-con | graphic violence | gore | graphic sexual violence | cruelty/death to animals | cruelty/death to children | requested character death | unrelieved grimdark | bigotry by the good guys | first or second POV | reader fic | ABO | soulbonds | wildly OOC in a non-cracky way
SMUT DNW: creampies | the word “cunt” | anal | hate each other out of bed | underage | incest
MAYBE: no-harm dubcon (sex pollen or “fertility artifact”) | period typical attitudes | infidelity | power dynamic
Specific DNW: No Yuuzhaan Vong/Force users plague/fridges
I love treats!
I am clearly a Original Trilogy/Legends girlie, so you know what to do!
My Star Wars preferences:
Legends | Stackpole | Zahn | Didn’t we just leave this party? | ROTJ | Rogue One | Kenobi | Lego SW | Wedge Antilles | Rogue Squadron | Mara Jade | Witches of Dathomir | Biggs Darklighter
So, I'm a Star Wars fan who's a little sad that the Extended Universe got handwaved away - I really loved Timothy Zahn and Michael Stackpole, and my requests tend to reflect that. I am a Legends girl at heart, and you can’t go wrong if you write me something that belongs in either a Timothy Zahn book or one of Stackpole’s Rogue Squadron books. Please don't refer to anything that happened after the godawful Vector Prime and switch to Del Rey. No Yuuzhan Vong, no Mara Jade gets weird wasting disease, no Teneniel getting put in the freezer.
I'm also not a very active Star Wars fan. I’m not into the games, am not reading the new EU stuff, so don’t write anything that requires a lot of homework to GET.
However, I'm also a Star Wars fan who thought Rogue One totally and completely rocked it out of the park. Loved it loved it loved it! Went and saw it in the theaters like 4 times, including giving up a free day to go see it on a BIG screen. It’s so good. The novelization was good too. I’m a fan of Everyone Lives/Krennic dies AUs or Some People Live/Some People Die.
I love the original three (ROTJ is my favorite).
I enjoyed the sequels (although that like is dwindling more every time I see a stupid handwave plot post) but didn’t LOVE them, especially after the ridiculously evident fact that they DIDN’T HAVE A PLAN.
I am NOT a fan of the prequels. I wanted to like them, but I just couldn’t get past Phantom Menace and the stupidity of traveling around with young Obi-Wan Kenobi and falling for Anakin.
I’m not familiar with the animated SW shows, and my ignoring the prequels means I also missed all the “Jedi don’t have emotional attachments” which maybe should have gone down as a bad idea.
I’m not familiar with most of the Disney shows BUT I did enjoy Kenobi quite a bit. I loved Tala and little Leia and Beru.
I did enjoy the zaniness of the Star Wars Lego Holiday special, so feel free to play off that.
My heart is with the original 3 (and Rogue One, now that it exists) and the "waved away" Extended Universe. The more they make me feel like it requires me to do homework, the less interested I am.
I'm also not really a Luke fan. Give me Han and Wedge any day of the week. And maybe Ben Kenobi. Or an AU where Biggs Darklighter becomes the most famous pilot from Tatooine. And maybe find some way to make Rey a Kenobi descendant…? I really wanted her to be a Kenobi descendant. I still want her to be a Kenobi somehow.
Teneniel Djo/Luke Skywalker
Corran Horn/Mirax Terrik
Wedge Antilles/Leia Organa
Nawara Ven/Rhysati Ynr
Tycho Celchu/Winter Celchu
These are the romance requests.
Teneniel/Luke - I just really loved the vibe they have together. So explore that more. I generally am a Mara/Luke shipper as well but something about these two just speaks to me.
Corran/Mirax - The smartass flyboy meets the smart smuggler. What else do we NEED?
Wedge/Leia - So this is my every year request. I just want this. Like a fling, or FWB or more.
Nawara/Rhysati - These two were also interesting (feel free to pair with Corran/Mirax for a spectacular double date).
Tycho/Winter - I would really just love something soft for these two, maybe aftermath of the trial?
Teneniel/Luke – A fling on Dathomir? I just enjoy them. Feel free to blend with another request.
Corran/Mirax - I'm always down for Corran/Mirax and their relationship. (Combining them with Han/Leia could be very fun. Maybe some diplomatic event that gets steadily less boring? Corellia related? Mirax and Han swapping stories?). I love Mirax and Corran, especially when she takes him down a few notches, as he so often NEEDS.
Wedge/Leia - I think a fling could have happened, a little stress relief...
Keep them in the X-Wing or original series timeframe. Leia is gone when Wedge finally makes his appearance in TLJ, but you could do something with that, him remembering her as friends or more. I'd love to see more of this relationship, especially as it is portrayed in the Legends book. Or if you want to take it to TLJ, that would also be acceptable.
Nawara/Rhysati – Stolen moments in Rogue Squadron? What happens after? And when I say “spectacular double date” it probably involves jail or explosions.
Tycho/Winter - I’d love something soft and fluffy and sweet for them (or maybe a little spicy). Feel free to combine with Wedge/Leia. Tycho/Winter deserve a quiet moment (and maybe a little disbelief that it’s over?)
Wedge Antilles & Leia Organa
Wedge Antilles & Biggs Darklighter
Teneniel Djo & Mara Jade
Corran Horn & Nejaa Halcyon
Tala Durith & Jyn Erso
These are the platonic requests.
Wedge & Leia - Business or pleasure?
Wedge & Biggs - I long for an AU where Biggs Darklighter is the best fighter pilot Tatooine ever produced. These two leaders get in trouble and need to be bailed out (bonus points if Leia is the person they call).
Teneniel & Mara - Aside from possibly dishing about Luke, I'd love to see these two kick some ass together.
Corran & Nejaa - Does Corran ever have a Force Ghost visitation?
Tala & Jyn - An AU where these two survive and get to cause trouble together? Feel free to include little Leia.
Wedge & Leia – Are these two on a mission or just trying to avoid death by boredom in a meeting they would have shot their way out of before the New Republic. Leia’s perspective on Rogue Squadron?
Wedge & Biggs - What if Biggs becomes the most famous fighter pilot from Tatooine? Ghostly encounter? There must always be a Darklighter in Rogue Squadron
I love love love Wedge Antilles. I'd love something set during original movies, X-Wing books or maybe a look at what he's doing in Last Jedi (or why he's NOT doing anything). I like Poe, but he's no Wedge Antilles.
I admit to a preference for the Wedge of the Rogue Squadron books, with the sly humor and him as the Commander of the Rogues (and their craziness). Maybe an AU where Biggs is in there with him? You could keep Gavin around as well.
Not really much to add besides WHERE ARE ALL THE PILOTS in the later movies?
I have a great affection for Biggs as well, and would love to see him and Gavin hanging out (maybe include Wedge). Or maybe Biggs lives and becomes the most famous pilot a planet called Tatooine ever produced....
Teneniel & Mara - Just don't put Teneniel in the fridge like they do later in the series. I loved young Teneniel and was super disapointed to see what they did to her.
Corran & Nejaa - I'd love to see Corran getting a force ghost visit from his grandfather.
Tala Durith and Jyn could be interesting (or Lyra … or all 3). Down time or mission time would be good. Lyra and Jyn escape and join the Rebellion? I’m here for it. Involving Tala (another candidate for Not Dying) would be awesome as well.
Teneniel Djo & Mara Jade & Leia Organa & Mirax Terrik
Corran Horn & Wedge Antilles & Mirax Terrik & Booster Terrik & Han Solo
Wedge Antilles & Tycho Celchu & Wes Janson & Derek "Hobbie" Klivian
Winter Celchu & Wes Janson
Pash Cracken & Wedge Antilles
These are (clearly) the shenanigans requests. For all of these, I am okay with a story about the action OR the bar after the action is over!
Teneniel Djo & Mara Jade & Leia Organa & Mirax Terrik - Not sure what they've teamed up for but their opponents are in trouble.
Corran Horn & Wedge Antilles & Mirax Terrik & Booster Terrik & Han Solo - Corellians attack!
Wedge Antilles & Tycho Celchu & Wes Janson & Derek "Hobbie" Klivian - You know the drill, I love Rogue Squadron. Feel free to add on anyone you need!
Winter Celchu & Wes Janson - What requires both their skills? (If the answer is pre-wedding shenanigans, sign me UP)
Pash & Wedge - The line about Pash buying his father a souvenir gets me every time!
Why have these four teamed up? Not sure, but I feel bad for their opponents.
Wedge & Corran & Mirax & Han: Corellia Forever! The most epic smuggling job ever - or the stories in the bar later. Hijinks ensue. Rogue Squadron timeline or later. Maybe Booster and/or Leia are included?
So this is my Corellia/Corran Horn request. Yes I know he’s a pain in the ass, but I do love him (especially if people take him down a peg or two). I love the idea that all the Corellians could be drinking buddies, and I am 100% here for the idea that Corellians may have a higher percentage of people who use the Force on a subconscious level but think they’re just lucky. Never tell them the odds.
I’m also totally down for you poking some gentle fun at CorSec Corran Horn being a little twitchy at being surrounded by the Corellian Rogues Gallery, even if he is involved with/married to one.
Wedge & Tycho & Wes & Hobbie – If you read Starfighters of Adumar you know the vibe. Feel free to involve some others as well! (including Iella & Winter)
Winter & Wes - Getting into or out of trouble? Bonus points if you tie this to a Rogue Squadron related bachelor party. Remembering things/giving comfort/planning a surprise?
Pash & Wedge - Invasion of Coruscant hijinks? Ball Hijinks? Why are two fine upstanding pilots in quite so much trouble? Bonus points if Pash is about his father's business.
For Wedge and Pash, I love their interactions in the X-Wing books. The whole bit where they’re undercover at the museum and Pask is talking about getting his father a souvenir? That’s peak of what I would like.

Ash Wednesday
Feb. 18th, 2026 07:18 amThis year, my time is stacked because I've to to leave work early for something else and I didn't necessarily want to take the whole day off. I did do the readings for the day, which conveniently come in email (yay, technology). Also, I have chosen a saint for Lent Madness - this is new for me but hey, having saints duking it out in a March Madness style bracket cracks me up. I am pulling for Marina the Monk, who wanted to join a monastary rather than get married (her dad was going to marry her off and join a monastary himself and she said nope, let's be monks together) and dressed as a a young man to join up.I was previously unfamiliar with her story but the Episcopal Church added her to the liturgical calendar in 2022. She's been long venerated in Easter Orthodox and Coptic Orthodox Churches.
I love saint stories. They start out pretty tame but then you run into something like, "Oh, by the way, there was that thing with the snakes and it was pretty amazing."

Bodies are mean
Feb. 12th, 2026 07:23 amCue me not really thinking about it that much until I started having moment's where the muscles in my right leg would go slack for no good reason. i could still move my leg and what not but it just felt like the muscles went dead and then would come back online with everything feeling super tired and the like. But I kept on with doing what I was doing: walking, biking. Also sitting because I work from home. I sit a lot. Probably an unhealthy amount.
Anyway, fast forward to last year: my legs hadn't been great which meant I hadn't really been training like I usually do. On a good day, I can knock out 3 miles (my house to downtown Oakland and back) and not even think about it but it was becoming harder to do. I walked the Oakland Marathon 5K, San Francisco Marathon 5K and Berkeley Half 5K. The Berkley Half was where I finally realized that something might really not be okay. The last part of the course takes us into the campus, past Sather Gate and then an incline up towards the Campanile. I absolutely detest that section but I know it's there and normally I bitch in my head about it but I do it. Last year I had to stop. Really stop. My hip was barking and so was my leg. Not good.
I finished but I was also meeting a friend who was doing the 10K so I had to walk down from the Crescent to Civic Center Park where all the festivities were. Not a problem but I could feel my leg twitching and my brain was trying to suss out what I was feeling. While waiting for my friend, i had a chance to talk to one of the PT folks who was there doing post race assessments (mostly to drum up business), but she did give me some good advice - i.e. it might be this thing but go talk to your primary doctor, which I did; she thought it might be sciatica. I had some preliminary imaging done; right hip, knee and my lumbar spine. And got a referral to PT at Berkeley Community PT.
So, the upshot is this: my lumbar spine is compressed like whoa and things aren't real happy which translates to the issues with my hip and leg. I have some degenerative things happening but that's mostly due to age. I've been in PT for just over a month which means I have homework.I also now have a referral to orthopedics at UCSF. They'll probably do more imaging and make a recommendation for next steps.
Right now, as much as all of this is a pain in the ass, I am thankful I have full insurance to cover it. Shirley is also feeling the aches and pains of her job but trying to get her to go get some body work done beyond seeing our chiropractor is a lot. I make vague noises like, "Hey, you know, the acupuncturist has some time."
The biggest thing in all of this is having to acknowledge that I am getting older (we both turned 60 last year) and my body is changing into a newer configuration. None of what is happening is insurmountable but how I engage with sport and exercise are changing. Right now, I'm not doing a lot beyond PT because I don't want to aggravate anything. My Garmin sits there and accuses me of not getting enough steps in.Lol. I do have new trekking poles and I use those for walking for the extra support but I also have a touch of plantar fasciatis right now so I'm not doing a lot of that.
It rains, it pours. I remain salty about it.
