That cartoon where you think its just all gonna be for shits and giggles…
But psych bitch, it’s actually a carefully plotted out TV show that you’ll now emotionally sell your soul to just to have your heart smashed into pieces OVER AND OVER AGAIN-
Okay Kallus accidentally becoming the Rebellion's version of B Dylan Hollis has officially taken over my brain again, so I'm going to make that everyone else's problem
Between growing up in the lower levels of Cosuscant and then immediately joining the military as soon as he was old enough, Kallus never learned how to cook
Once the Ghost crew finds this out, it becomes a point of light ribbing and they tease him about it, especially Sabine
Sabine finds a terrible vintage cookbook and gives it to Kallus as a gag gift to keep on his ship when he's out on missions and "maybe eventually learn to cook like a real adult"
Kallus rolls his eyes and tells her to kriff off, appreciating the gesture for the joke it is
Except then he has a particularly slow mission. And he's bored. And that book is sitting in the small kitchen of his ship
The first video is an absolute fucking DISASTER. Kallus doesn't know how any part of cooking works and a lot of the video is just him confused and then spitting out the absolute monstrosity he ends up making in disgust
He sends this video to Sabine, who thinks it's absolutely fucking hilarious and immediately demands more
It quickly becomes a thing. In between missions or on missions where he has more downtime, Kallus will pick some terrible sounding recipe and try to make it, filming the process and sending it to Sabine. Some of them turn out decent, some of them turn out terribly, and all of them are hilarious
And over time, Kallus' cooking and baking skills do actually improve. Some of the recipes are still disgusting and terrible, but he actually sort of knows what he's doing now and more than that, he's having fun
He starts getting actual decent cooking equipment to keep on his ship and looks for vintage cook books while in different space ports. It's been a long time since Kallus was able to engage so unabashedly in a hobby that he genuinely enjoys, and it's like discovering a part of himself that he'd almost forgotten existed
Meanwhile, Sabine has started sharing the videos with the rest of the crew, which is perfectly fine
Until Ezra shares one of them with one of the dock guys
Who shares it with one of his friends
Etc. Etc. Etc.
It doesn't take long before videos of him cooking are circulating through the Rebellion and everyone LOVES them
Except no one outside of the Ghost crew actually realizes it's Kallus
Between his physical appearance changing somewhat since defecting and the massive difference in demeanor and mannerisms compared to how he normally acts, no one even really considers that the funny gay cooking guy is Alexsandr "Resting Bitch Face is my Superpower" Kallus
Until, in the middle of a particularly contentious briefing, Kallus accidentally says "honey, you can't dilute a war crime"
Absolute chaos ensues
played sims 4 for the first time and one of the married cis men had a desire to try for baby with his cis husband. i accidentally pinned it and could not unpin it. trying for baby is physically impossible. I tried to use cheats to give him a viable womb in create a sim but it wouldn’t let me do so retroactively. so I thought, maybe if they adopt the want for pregnancy will go away, and had them adopt a toddler daughter. but then the try for baby desire did not go away. since they now had an unwanted adopted child I tried to remove the toddler from the household, thinking this would send her back into the ether. it did not. instead she wanders the neighborhood like a feral cat. i thought the social worker would come and take her back so someone else could adopt her, but I guess there is no social worker in sims 4. so now the neighborhood is haunted by a smelly miserable baby that has no home but cannot die and everyone who sees her is uncomfortable. fucking omelas scenario.
another meme redraw!!

Hizashi: why would I apologize for not taking care of myself?
Shouta: because you feel guilty
Hizashi: guilt is a trick emotion. Its put there by your parents to stop you from doing things that feel good.
Shouta: every time you speak, I don't know if I understand more or less about why you are the way you are.
whats that defunct land quote again? every part of the film making process is awful, but not making film is even worse? idk something like that. anywah im being completely normal about art rn ::))
I still love this piece a lot, flaws and all. I’ve had the rest of the pages for this scene on my to-do list for literally months, but I keep not doing them bc I’m scared I won’t like them as much 💀
Anyways. The vaguest of spoilers for @blackholeca ‘s fic Pied Piper. The next art I post will be more spoilery but far less adorable
