People assume Zuko and Katara are dating: BORING
People assume Sokka and Aang are dating: YEAH
Like imagine a Minister or politician who’s obviously not well aware of current affairs of who is dating who goes up to Sokka and asks “Are you the Avatar’s Water Tribe lover?” And Sokka who has nothing better to do pauses for a moment and then casually shrugs “Yeah sure, why not?” And now he’s in an elaborated story that he pulls Aang into and he’ll be DAMNED if he has to get a divorce before the age of 25. Aang is so ready to go along with the bit but the glares Zuko and Katara throw at them definitely eats at him.
Every show and film and book I grew up with presented the military as a place where you’d find yourself. The military could be good, could be bad, and all that “glory” stuff was clearly nonsense… but shared trials made you stronger and forged ride-or-die buddies for life. And hey, it’d pay for college.
Then I joined. It didn’t work out. Every day ranged from tedious to toxic, even when we did genuine good. I made one short-term friend in four years.
I still loved those stories, but none of them were ever about the guy who joins up and doesn’t find himself and never belongs—so I wrote it.
Poor Man’s Fight is a rockin’ space opera built on shattered dreams, student debt, and space pirates. Lots of space pirates. It’s funny, it’s sober, and you’ll want to hug Tanner Malone even when he’s covered in blood. The real enemies are always capitalism and toxic masculinity.
And then comes the war with the corporations that built this whole dystopia, because the enemy is still capitalism, even for the aliens.
On a brighter note, Tanner does make it out of the military and into college, becoming the Deadliest Unpaid Intern in the Galaxy… and the Resident Advisor for a freshman dorm full of chaos goblins.

If you’ve made it this far, hopefully you’re looking for where to pick this up. They’re all available on ebook and Kindle Unlimited, and everything from Poor Man’s Fight to Last Man Out is also in paperback and audio.
And bonus: they’re cheap!
i updated it due to current happenings
edit: FUCKING REBLOG IT. LIKES DONT MEAN SHIT!
Okay fuck it if this post reaches 666k notes by the end of 2023 I'll practise basic self care
Why 666k? Because it's funny and impossible so good fucking luck
I never post on here but I wanted everyone to know that studying is killing me I hate it. I want to be cosy in my bed watching horror films and enjoying spooky season but i fucking can’t.
Drawing Puppet is relaxing
I would really appreciate reblogs! They share my art unlike likes :]
yknow what i think the clones would really like?
can you imagine? someone would tie like fifty of them together and then drag it across the ship. they’d be in helmets, shoes, hanging from their blasters. Ahsoka makes one move all by itself and the boys start screaming. Hardcase has like twenty peeking out of his pack “so they can breathe.” Kix bans them from the medbay until someone lays one in a cot under the blanket like its getting treatment and just breaks down laughing/crying. Fives starts a game of seeing how many worms they can tape to Rex without him noticing.
Rex, with a cape of worm-on-a-strings: what’s wrong is there something on my face?
Cody, deadpan, about to pass out from not laughing: nothing
the ‘$1000 to go to Hawaii’ bride, the ‘I bought a $99 polygraph on amazon’ lady, or the ‘why was $200 so huge’ birthday girl
New oc idea: First day of being a Jedi knight they have an accident, somehow speed run enlightenment, and become a force ghost. Now the temple has a resident ghost trying to officially become a Jedi master.
His name is Jacob Blake. He was unarmed, trying to break up a fight. He was tasered and shot 7 times while trying to get into a car. His kids were watching.
This happened on 8/23. Havent found too many posts on tumblr about it yet. Police tear gassed protestors who gathered outside the police station. I'll keep an eye out for a gofundme/petition.
