I gifted myself, but y'all gifted me in the biggest way: I woke up bday morning to see, for the first time in the Manor's history, we crossed 100k views in a year!! And there's still plenty of year left, with Visions, NYCC, novels, comics, and more!
Thank you, truly, so damn much. ♥️

Screenshot of the Manor's yearly views chart, with 2023 at 82,188 then 2024 at 96,628 and finally 2025 so far at 100,175

The idea was born from my SW Villainous drawing (last picture in above post), what the artist did is WAY better haha Can't wait to share the website thing when it comes through, while I'm hoping for some good Aphra related news at NYCC this weekend. A real bday trifecta if so!

"Rules? I'm more into improvisation"

Celebrating 10 years since her introduction, and as an early bday gift to myself, it was time for my first tattoo and it had to be my favorite character: Doctor Chelli Lona Aphra! #DoctorAphra #StarWarsComics

A photo of me standing in a tattoo parlor, right arm held out so the fresh tattoo can be seen. I'm wearing khaki shorts and a black shirt with red and white lettering of the words "rogue archaeologist" while the tattoo depicts Doctor Aphra's aviator helmet with electro-tattoo designs coming out of it.

I'm Sitting on the chair, trying to look brave for the photo, tattoo artist making the magic happen

My very crude drawing of a Doctor Aphra Star Wars Villainous card, which has images of Triple-Zero, BT-1, Sana Starros, Magna Tolvan, Darth Vader, and several artifacts, as well as what inspired the tattoo design: Aphra's aviator cap and electro-tattoo coming out of it

Very excited that not only do we have a preview of the 20th Anniversary Deluxe Edition of the ROTS novelization on the site today, but the one we have on offer is literally one of my favourite sequences from the book: the exact moment Yoda goes "oh, fucked up massively I have"

Why the Legendary 'Revenge of the Sith' Novelization Had to Depict the Moment Yoda Knew He Failed

Matthew Stover takes us into the Jedi Master's mind in our exclusive look inside the sumptuous 20th anniversary edition of his iconic 'Revenge of the Sith' novelization.

Not quite the day yet, but what an awesome way to kick off the birthday week! Gotta love a best friend, aka the wife in this case, who'll only ever bake once and it's cupcakes. Can't wait to put Wicket together!
The Star Wars thing I mentioned a few days ago I was nervous about is tomorrow...

Funfetti vanilla cupcakes sit on a plate with candle numbers 36 (should've redacted that ha) in two of them, while the card games Flip and Phase 10 Flip, plus the Wicket Ewok set, are propped up behind them

Writer Art Day #5 - Darkwing Duck!

This was a request from @tadstones.bsky.social. I wish I'd scanned it before I colored it, because this brush pen was NOT alcohol marker-safe like I thought 🫠 But I avoided too much smearing.

Might also be a drawing of Eagly, IDK

My friend Dr. Annalise Ophelian (Looking for Leia) produced “MAJOR!” about Miss Major’s life & I encourage everyone to watch it so that you can understand the vital contributions Miss Major has made to Trans & Queer history.
