*looks at date of last post* O_O
I have been well-served by other socials over the past 3+ years and have no plans to migrate off tumblr, but much of the community that I value has dusted off their Dreamdwidth journals. I'd hate to miss out their incredible works and invaluable discussion.
Dreamwidth is not a visually-oriented site, which doesn't help a ditzy doodler like myself. All my fanart (frequently nsfw if you're into that) will continue to be posted to my twitter, and crossposted to
instagram and tumblr where their ~community guidelines~ permit. I might post art round-ups here, but hey, that shit's free to follow ;)
I will post fic round-ups here too, in future, when I have anything to write again. Here's my AO3!
Roundup the First
Mar. 9th, 2022 06:18 pmSpeaking to my shareholders, I’d say Q1 had a slow start, but has enjoyed some surprising artistic wins, even if writing continues to underdeliver.
I dusted off an old back-up Foxiyo fic to embed a lot of my sober (literally) thoughts about Pantoran geopolitics, the military-industrial complex of the pre-war Republic, and Riyo’s personal background. Chapter 1 of Second Sitting is therefore a dense worldbuilding soup — because I like to think it isn’t *too* dry — while Chapter 2 is just Pantoran porn :) Couldn’t quite eek enough out to hit 10k (that’s longfic in my book), but a good showing. Currently scratching away at some small Foxiyo prompts collecting dust in my askbox.
Second Sitting
Words: 9320

Making good strides in the world of self-taught digital art — despite some anonymous asswipe’s attempt to undermine my confidence and progress. Luckily for them, my mental health is shining at the minute and I *really* enjoy proving presumptive pissants wrong, so they get to continue watching me slay sexy shit. I’m getting comfy with color and more confident with expressions. Here are some of my favorites from 2022 so far (some have been cropped in a family-friendly fashion and obvs the quality is rough at this size).
“Pantora” is only the planet’s name in Basic — the second-language of all Pantorans only by a matter of months.
In Pantoran, Pantora is “Säuni”, translating in modern Pantoran to something like egg or center — though etymologists dispute the origin. (Pantorans = Säuninai)
“Pantora” emerged from a loan-legend about a most beautiful vessel piloted on the promise of reaching a prosperous land of crystal and fuel . . . an unpredictable planet of ice and fire more like, girdled by mountain ranges riddled with psychoactive plants that descend on both sides into soggy marshlands, encircling the world with smell and snipebugs, until one sees nought but icesheets, which guard geothermal wealth only many thousands meters below . . .
But “sauna” and the galactic understanding of the practice thereof, is an indisputable Pantoran export :D

Behind Biscuit
Dec. 20th, 2018 10:24 pmBorrowed this idea from ![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
kaasknot and it's interesting to reflect the state of play on my active fannish life roughly a decade in.
Name: Biscuit
Age: late twenties
Pronouns: she/her/they/them are all fine
Role: fandom cheerleader? I write and overthink and mod a Discord, and I am starting to dabble in cosplay.
Current fandom: Star Wars in general, but I've made my home in the Prequels and create content almost exclusively for the Clone Wars period.
Favorite characters:
- Ahsoka Tano: words cannot describe my feelings for Ahsoka and her unique place in the canon. Her exuberance is infectious, her flaws relatable, her tenacity admirable; I want to be her, befriend her, defend her. She's gonna kill me in Season 7, I can feel it.
- Captain Rex: an overgrown teenager with a responsibility for other overgrown teenagers who could kill me with his elbow and has a face that says "i am emotionally vulnerable because i'm not supposed to have emotions" and a noble heart too big for his boots. He is also going to kill me in Fall 2k19.
- Fi & Sev: extra overgrown teenage snipers who locked onto each other accidentally? gimme. the tragedy boys of their squads? yes please.
- Bo-Katan: easy to write-off as the token Death Watch Leggy Broad, but 10x more interesting when viewed as the complicated and sole surviving child of House Kryze who goes from aristocrat to terrorist to paramilitary freedom fighter to reluctant Mand'alor in one of the best character arcs of the animated series. Eagerly awaiting her Second Coming in Season 7.
- Jack Aubrey: broad, loose-lipped nautical lion gets a more than honorable mention
Ships: up for anything, really, but solid favorites are Rexsoka, Fi/Sev, Bobasoka, and Bo-Katan/Cody. Certified Cloneshipper, notably Fettish. Do love a spot of hateful Reylo.
Fandom history: I was writing LotR self-insert fic before I even knew what that was, but the first piece of fannish writing that ever saw the light of day (by way of my 7th grade lit class -- bad idea) was an angsty thing about Legolas dying in Thranduil's arms. After being shamed for that, I wrote fic for Troy and things like The Other Boleyn Girl that I convinced myself weren't fanfic because they were ~historical~. Continued to overinvest in one hyperfixation to the next before landing on the Napoleonic Period, and joined tumblr to gush about the Aubrey-Maturin and Hornblower series. I wasn't reading much fic at this point, because historical diaries and war memoirs used all the text muscles in my brain. But while procrastinating in grad school, I found AO3 for -- of all things -- The Thick of It fanfic, specifically Malcolm/Jamie, and then I just kept getting steamrolled by one piece of media to the next, usually stuff featuring Tom Hardy. Then The Force Awakens happened and I discovered the galaxy far far away.
First ever introduction to fandom: Somehow (and god, I wish I remembered how) I came across an explicit LotR fic that involved carrots/hobbits and Legolas/Aragorn on my mom's laptop. No clue what I was really looking for, but it was probably something to do with Orlando Bloom. That must have been around 15 years ago, but it was a surprisingly accurate introduction to fannish behaviour: ridiculous and raunchy. While horrified then, I love it now.
Other fandoms I’ve lurked in: Inception, The Thick of It, LotR, Age of Sail
How I got into my current fandom: Reylo. #noragrets.
Other fandom platforms:

Pillowfort: Due to uncertain rules about adult content, I won't be using Pillowfort.
Discord: Biscuit#2472
Mastodon: biscuit@clonewars.vet
Tumblr: countessofbiscuit
Real life stuff:
Professional: boozy admin
Non-fandom activities/hobbies: I sew quite a bit. When not at work or on my laptop scribblin' & noodlin' about Star Wars and fictional space militaries, I'm at the gym -- running, HIIT, cycling, &c.
I care deeply about: dogs, spreading warmth, and staying one step ahead of anxiety

Depa Billaba/Commander Grey
Teen
1.7k words
Grey knew he could live without Depa Billaba, but he didn't want to. And now that she had returned to active duty, he didn't have to.
Oh, doomed Jedi/Clone love. A tender heart-to-heart in a lull during a siege between a General who was lost, and the Commander who will lose her a second time.
I'll Show You the Light by FettsOnTop
Bo-Katan/Commander Cody
Teen
960 words
She's taking a chance just by showing up, but if there's even the slightest chance that the former Grand Marshal Commander of the GAR can be swayed, the risk will be worth it. And those pesky emotions she has about his face? Not enough to stop her.
You know that text post to the tune of "i don't want to write, i want this idea pulled out of my brain so i can read it"? Yeah, that's what this fic is. Doubling the power of Bocody in one masterful stroke.
Lux by Batdad
Aayla Secura/Commander Bly
Explicit
2k words
Aayla's been given the use of a penthouse suite after six weeks of mud and rain. It's not the sort of opportunity you pass up. Particularly not when things have been getting interesting between her and her commander.
More doomed romance. And who doesn't love Bathtub Blyla? Bly's enthusiasm is infectious.

Mos Espa still buzzed with the news. Jango was less interested learning that a human child had won the Boonta Eve Classic than he was in the rumour that the persons who'd taken the child away afterwards were jetiise. In a ship that hinted the Trade Federation blockade over Naboo was breakable.
The child's mother was a local, a slave mechanic. He'd take a look at her after the trip to Gardulla's, see what she knew, and then leave this sandy hell-hole of a planet.
A beautiful episodic piece, with a cameos by Mird and the Nulls.
There Are No Angels by FettsOnTop
Jango/Shmi
Teen

Shmi tells Anakin about angels, but she knows the truth.
A very touching AU in which an an armored angel falls out of the sky in Mos Espa.
Our Tribe by FettsOnTop
Bo-Katan/Pre Vizsla
Explicit
862 words
Pre Vizsla and Bo-Katan Kryze get a little carried away as the Death Watch claims another stronghold.
Two extremist romantics imagine what the future holds in a super hott post-battle fuck.

Han's not sure how he keeps ending up in these situations.
Han getting caught out and being three steps behind Boba and Leia is always hilarious.

Boba/Leia
General
1k words
Leia will do whatever it takes to secure a treaty between the New Republic and Mandalore, even if it means forging a new alliance with an old enemy.
No one does Marriages-of-Convenience/Political Expediency like FettsOnTop.

"Ah,” sighed the queen. One of her ears twitched against his as she considered something. “I see. I see it now. The way you look at him. The master’s one true weakness. Mistaking servitude for fondness—for love, even."
Hi, I'm Biscuit, and while I have no intention of decamping wholly from tumblr, it seemed a good idea to pitch my GAR-issued tent here on this famous fandom field.
I'll be transferring my few original posts, as well as starting to rec fic on the regular.
All my fic can be found on AO3 as countessofbiscuit.
Besides AO3 and tumblr, I'm most active on Discord as Biscuit#2472.
