my favourite thing about the ahsoka show is that of all people for hera to trust jacen with, the one she puts her trust in most of all, was the war criminal who would kill for that boy and I think that’s so special
I think centaur ears are pretty fluid when it comes to emoting. One ear position can mean something completely different based on the person’s expression and body posture.
I really want Sabine to return to the main galaxy and suddenly get a bunch of messages telling her that Mandalore is habitable again so she takes Shin there and also they go to The Armorer and Bo Katan’s wedding
This morning, instead of laboring for capital as required, I was daydreaming about how — canonically & in contrast to the typical fanfic portrayal — Hob never actually becomes less of a jerk. And my brain was arguing like Well, he was kind of sweet with Gwen, wasn’t he? So I went back and read that last scene at the Ren Faire &… I mean, no, he becomes morally a better person, but he’s still kinda a jerk. And I 100% forgot about him calling Death GIRLIE!
😳
I mean, oh boy, are you lucky she’s so understanding, Hob!
I got the Star Wars Rebels artbook this week, and combined with the Ahsoka and Clone Wars celebration I had to draw all the girls on their adventure to find Ezra
kids these days who are fans of fall out boy and can just read the lyrics on spotify or whatever. do you know how lucky you are. when i was a lad you listened to an illegally burnt cd, heard a nonsensical string of syllables, and listened to it 100 times until you thought you know what was said. and then you got ahold of an album sleeve with lyrics and read the lyrics. and realise you were absolutely nowhere close.
My ideal street layout, wide sidewalk, wide bike lanes, and a 2 lane road that only allows streetcars on it. Yes I know this a bad drawing, I made it in a hurry
Are those (black circles w/ small things) supposed to be eg cafe chairs?
If so, they’re posing an accessibility issue due to blocking the sidewalks. Recommend your street layout allow for outdoor seating without blocking sidewalks.
Agreed. The foundation is sound, but there needs to be plenty of space to walk by seating without getting run over by a bike. Seating that hugs the walls of the nearby structure, and open storefronts that let people and services flow seamlessly between the commercial spaces and the sidewalks would be an improvement here.
I actually shrunk the seating to make there be more space for pedestrians
If the tracked area is for trams/streetcars only, may I recommend that you make it green track?
Not only does it add much needed greenery to public spaces, but it also reduces heat at street level, reduces the running noise of trams and dramatically improves water drainage at street level. It even goes as far as reducing the damage to the tracks caused by the material expanding and buckling in high heat by simply keeping the rails cooler and better displacing heat.
It doesn’t even have to be grass! Different species of plant, local species or hardier, low-maintenance species can be used, and furthermore, it tends to reduce maintenance costs of the tracks, as soil is easier to dig up than concrete or tarmac, and so the tracks can be accessed and worked on easier.
Obviously, if you want the street to be able to accept buses along with trams/streetcars, or other rubber-tyred vehicles, then a hard surface is necessary, but if it’s light rail only, then green track gets my vote.
Already made the edit, I hope you enjoy the green tracks and their flowers. This image is very green
Redoing the color of the bike path to make the street less fucking green
I love the idea of green tracks, but in this case they are not a good choice:
You still need the possibility for rubber based vehicles like Fire Cars or Ambulances to pass the streets.
You can’t just put them on tracks because they need to be as mobile as possible to allow maximum efficency.
Okay removing the grass due to firecodes
Urbanism pride flag lol
we still need green so maybe put flowerpots in the middle of the sidewalk? Like rectangular ones that only take up maybe a fifth of the sidewalk width, and their intermittent, maybe one between every other set of trees.
The street planters have come in
Honestly if you want some good green space you should consider bioswales between the bike facilities and the “street”, which would help replace some of the lost drainage/filtration function from de-greening the track
The bios have been swaled

@puddlebrigade Okay the tables have been moved and reduced to be more accessible and some planters have been moved

Dreamling soulmate AU, only they’re not soulmates.
I have ideas for the canon timeline, but for the sake of argument, let’s go with a modern AU. Dream and Hob aren’t friends, exactly, but they’re in the same friend circle, so they see each other fairly often. And one night, Dream’s been dragged out drinking with some friends, and he overhears a very drunk Hob saying that soulmates are stupid, HE’S not going to go along with it, he’ll fall in love with whoever he wants! So Dream (a hopeless romantic) makes some sort of bet with him, that when he finds his soulmate he’ll be blissfully happy with her.
After that, whenever they run into each other at other’s friends’ events Dream will ask Hob if he’s met his soulmate (Eleanor, according to the messy handwriting on Hob’s arm), and Hob will be like “Nope! But I’ve got a job at this weird startup!” and then talk at him for three hours. The bet goes from a bet they’re taking seriously to an excuse to talk to each other to a Weird Bit that’s an essential part of their friendship.
And they are, genuinely, friends at this point, which is why it’s such a betrayal for Dream when Hob answers his joking “found your soulmate yet?” with a quiet, “I think I might have. He’s been asking me that question for like a year now.”
Dream does not take this well. He believes in soulmates, wholeheartedly. He can’t figure out a single interpretation of Hob’s declaration that doesn’t leave him feeling used: best-case scenario Hob legit believes what he’s saying (but is still using Dream in this obviously doomed experiment of his), worst-case scenario Hob’s noticed that Dream is attracted to him (even if that will never ever go any further than meaningless attraction because they are not soulmates) and is deliberately trying to take advantage of him to prove his point.
They argue. Dream storms off.
Somewhere in here, Dream has a relationship with his Actual Literal Soulmate, Alianora. It is extremely Messy, and she breaks it off because they may be soulmates but clearly this is not working. She’s not the first person ever to end things with their soulmate, but it’s extremely rare, and the fallout is shit-awful for both of them because everyone in their lives is trying to figure out whose fault it was, never mind that the answer was “nobody’s- they met under really awful circumstances and the specific cocktail of that and the pressure, both internal and external, they were under to Be Perfectly Happy Together Forever just. Poisoned their relationship and they didn’t deal with it until it exploded and by then it was too late.”
Eventually, Dream and Hob resolve their argument, complete with an inn-building-equivalent Big Gesture from Hob. Their relationship goes back to the way it was, mostly, except that Dream is undeniably aware that Hob is sad and pining after Dream and trying to hide it from him. And Hob being sad is Basically the Worst Thing That Could Possibly Happen.
Dream is… more aware of the implications of that thought than he’d like to be.
And once he’s noticed that it’s really, really hard not to notice how gorgeous Hob is when he smiles, the way his heart flutters whenever Hob calls him a nickname or makes sure to grab Dream a coffee when he gets one for himself, the fact that he’d be perfectly happy sitting and listening to Hob talk for hours…
And things are different now. Dream’s soulmate doesn’t want him, he’s not betraying her if he starts a doomed relationship with someone else. Hob will be happy. The only person getting hurt here will be Dream, when Hob inevitably meets his soulmate. He’s setting himself up to get hurt, yes, but at least he’ll get to be happy with Hob before that.
So one night he very tentatively asks if Hob still meant what he said, about Dream being his soulmate. Hob’s like “Crap I thought I was hiding it I’m so sorry I don’t want you to be uncomfortable.”
Dream’s like “You are not actually that subtle. But I’m. Glad. You still feel that way.”
It takes Hob a few seconds and a fairly terrible emotional rollercoaster to figure out what Dream meant by that, and Dream is not good about clarifying. But when he does he asks Dream on a date, and Dream agrees, and before he knows what’s hit him Hob’s moved in with him and is very cautiously hinting around about engagement rings and he can’t possibly be in love with Hob, right? Whatever’s between them is too easy, too natural, too much like they added romance to their existing friendship and somehow it worked perfectly and-
Oh. Shit.
And just when Dream realizes he’s invested- not just invested, committed, this was Absolutely Not how the story’s supposed to go and it’s terrifying but he desperately wants it anyway- just when he’s got something to lose-
Hob meets Eleanor.
And almost immediately asks if Dream would mind him explaining things to her one-on-one, since he thinks it would go more smoothly that way. Dream says he doesn’t, and braces himself. It’s not that he thinks Hob is lying to him. He 100% trusts that Hob has made this meeting to turn Eleanor down.
He’s just also 100% certain that the moment Hob has a conversation with his soulmate he’ll realize just how important a soulmate is, that Dream was right and that next to the person he’s destined for, Dream means nothing to him.
When Hob gets back from the meeting he’s happier than Dream’s seen him in months, maybe ever, and Dream braces himself.
But the first thing Hob does after closing the door is kiss Dream, for several minutes.
And the second thing he does is excitedly tell Dream, “It went really well! She said I’m not worth it!”
And Dream’s like “…what.”
And Hob explains that he’d told Eleanor that he was very sorry, but he already had a soulmate, and she’d been upset but essentially told him “Yeah fine, if you’re this adamant about not wanting a soulmate it is not at all worth it for me to pursue anything,” with a grudging sort of understanding.
And Dream’s like “…what.”
And they go back and forth for a bit until finally Dream’s like “But she’s your SOULMATE. You’re not even going to TRY to have something with your soulmate in order to stay with a man who is so bad at romance his soulmate left him.”
And Hob’s like “I’ve been saying for years now that you’re my perfect other half, soulmates and destiny be damned, and I meant it. You’re perfect, and I’m not letting you go for anything.”
And Dream… still can’t entirely believe in an undying non-soulmate romance the way Hob does. But he wants to, and he trusts Hob enough to try. And several years later they’re married, maybe talking about kids, and in some mundane little domestic moment Dream realizes he does entirely believe in this now, in a way that snuck up on him gradually.
