I’ve been working for a while on worldbuilding the inner workings of the Jedi Order. Below is a flowchart of the administrative bodies, their duties, and any other admin bodies they oversee. More details on each below the cut.
These are different groups involved in running the Jedi Order. For different roles within the Jedi, see my Jedi Order Corps and Subdivisions.

This group review serves an important role in the protection of the rights and welfare of human research subjects."
IRB for the entire Order, not just the MedCorps
Jedi culture is a padawan smacking one of their friends, poking them, playing a prank on them, etc. and then, when they try to retaliate, running away shouting- "REVENGE IS NOT THE JEDI WAY!!!"
I'm currently in like, a lot of pain (...don't ask), so what better way to distract myself than cataloging some fics!
Last time I said I'll do a list of writers, but I noticed that so much time has passed that I've collected enough oneshots for another post like this, so I'm doing this first.
A couple of ones here are from shadowforest-wolf's lists, go check these posts out if you want more recs!
As always, sfw oneshots, if there are any dead links you need fixing let me know!
Sea of Love by MiddlemistsRed (chiakashie) - Soap keeps dying in Al Mazrah and Ghost reincarnates each time to save him.
Offhand Remarks by bisexual_werewolf - Ghost doesn’t think Soap is a good enough soldier. Soap tries his best to fix that. (Spoilers: It doesn’t work)
You'd Be the Mercy Under My Cruelty by ajax_in_agony - Ghost takes care of Soap in the aftermath of "Alone".
TV. by Kodalax - Ghost thinks Soaps mad at him so he distances himself as much as possible and clams up like he’s a child again. [this is a series with a second work from Soap's POV]
where the nightmares end by oh_ellie - Soap is sitting up in his bed, the sheets shoved off of his body and sweat beading on his forehead and running down his temple. It's dark in his room and far too quiet.
taken a shine to me? by oh_ellie - Soap is captured by Graves during alone [this has a second work which is nsfw]
Eleven by VibeDemon - Ghoap get stuck in an elevator. [this is just a little funny one :)]
He's The Gift That Just Keeps Giving! by StrixDaddy - some hurt/comfort featuring Christmas fluff.
Hold On To Me by iamtheidiot - That's when he saw it. A goddamn fucking knife sticking out of the man's right side, his arm at an angle like he was trying to conceal the thing from Soap.
Ghostly Music by oh_heccity - A 5+1 where Soap helps Ghost learn to have a healthy relationship with music, it, of course, has its ups and downs.
My heart in your hands keeps going on by FetteEule - 5 times Ghost is forced to go on leave and 1 time he takes leave on purpose.
Bleeding Sands by Islenthatur - What if Soap was one of the 15 who survived Operation Sand Viper [COD Ghosts Soap]
notre dame by merikai - Soap is stuck under rubble, but it takes a while until someone comes to the rescue.
heaven help the fool who falls in love by merikai - Soap has a "girl". Ghost tries to find out more.
leave it to the land by merikai - “Hypothermic,” Ghost mutters, more to himself as a note than to Soap. “You're delirious. Need to get you warmed up.”
no shortage of sordid by merikai - Hassan's men have taken Soap hostage—but there are things worse than this.
Dehiscence (Opening of a Wound) by made1for1life1 - Johnny knows his mind doesn't work the same as other people's. Maybe he just needs to try harder. Trying harder is a lot harder than he thought.
A quick game of chess by cheersyaslag - when Ghost tells him to shut up, he doesn't exactly know why it hurts so damn much. Maybe he's being too sensitive. But he does shut up. He will do as he's told for once.
Observations and Ink by Fearless_leaderr - He shifts nervously as the other man flips through the pages, and Soap can feel sweat begin to collect on his brow. "Didn't know you could draw like this, Johnny."
Still got like 3 days until I finish the semester, but I already got so many ideas for comics and drawings and fics it's not even funny. I'm gonna have so much fun once I'm finally done with my work T_T
I made a clone wars timeline to combine all of canon and legends into one cohesive and somewhat manageable timeline, mainly for fanfic and ttrpg purposes but I thought people might like it, it has a full workout of the galactic standard calendar and has precise(ish) dates for events (mainly republic commando) but I want as many people as possible to be able to see it and hopefully enjoy it
You can find it here:
Walon Vau is the son of a rich duke, rebelled against him and ran off to be a Mandalorian, and has an animal sidekick.
He’s a Disney princess.
I will not entertain dissenting viewpoints on this.
People do not get a notification if you edit an existing chapter. If you want them to know you changed something, put it in an author's note in the next chapter.
If you take down your whole fic, you'll lose ALL comments, kudos, hits, bookmarks and subscribers to it.
Thank youuu, I will write the next chapter then and update it that way! Thank you anon!
THIS IS AMAZING OH MY GOD
This is one of my artworks, here i have decided to depict substance abuse. Throughout the painting you can see many metaphors and a clash between realism and fantasy, for example at the bottom there’s scenery of a “forest” and mountains right under a face. i used the forest to symbolise feeling lost and as if everything’s the same, through the mountains i used a contrast of one dark and one light to show negative and positive and between them the sun rising to symbolise surging another day through the bad and good.throughout the painting you will see many faces that are either melting or have more features than the average human has, this is to symbolise how when under the influence of substances you can’t see what real and what isn’t and it feels like you are slipping away and it’s getting harder to hold on. On the top you will see a palm with the milky way on it,this symbolises how the universe is at their palm but yet it feels like too much hence the tree above which is empty to symbolise the darkness and emptiness of feeling too much how you’ve given your all and yet you have nothing left to give. You will see 2 “gold fishes” with eyes, these symbolise how in the water you feel free especially with the zero gravity effect it has and it just lets you float however the eye shows however free they might feel they always feel like they’re being watched and can’t feel as free as they are supposed to.On the bottom left there’s a palm with a desperate face looking up towards one of the gold fishes, this symbolises the pity of other people watching you fall through a rabbit hole of a constant cycle where it feels impossible to escape and you know they are there and you want to stop but you can’t and it haunts you.Right in the middle you will see a huge sun looking circle, this is a sun, this symbolises the every day cycle of substance abuse and how every morning the same cycle begins. I’ve used realism and fantasy to show how you can’t tell reality from fantasy and how everything morphs into one big picture.
if you have gotten this far thank you and i hope you enjoyed reading it, i personally haven’t experienced substance abuse but i think this is what it feels like.
Things that are going to happen in 2024 according to Star Trek:
1) the absolutely giant homeless-population of the USA (or was is just New York? Idk, I‘m from Europe) is going to start a civil-war fighting against the upper class and police.
2) Ireland is going to get united
So I'm back from assertive communication camp and am very tired, but I put together the species indigenous on Irmenu. I even started creating a language. In this post, I will talk about the siren/mermaids.
The draa are the indigenous species of Irmenu. Their traits and culture can vary. Not all of them have mermaid tails, if they have human ancestors they have legs and fins. Half draa usually have hidden fins that come out when they are in the water (if their parent is a freshwater draa, then they come out in freshwater)
There are 3 main branches(?) of draa.:
Freshwater
Shallowsea
Deepsea
Freshwater draa or Draa-alrus (Draa + al-of + rus-freshwater) live in ponds and rivers. Their numbers greatly went down. The ones that live in a river are 1 meter (3'3) to 1.2 meters (3'11) and mainly eat fish. They are nomadic, during winters they move to ponds and hibernate. Their relationship with humans is bad. Most of the time they hide and very rarely attack. The place where most of them live is a smaller island, where they only come out at night. (On that island draa are accepted. The group of humans that live on that island are one of the first settlers and kept a fine relationship with them).
The ones that live in still water are 1.3 (4.3) to 1.5 (4.11). They're omnivores and during winter they hibernate too. They live their lives in the place where they were born into. They have a better relationship with humans. Sometimes they go out in the daytime.
Shallow sea draa or Draa-alhoran (Draa + al-of + horan-sea). They live in both cold and warm seas. They average between 1.7 meters (5'7) to 2 meters (6'7). They are omnivores. Shallow sea draa are the most commonly confused with sirens. Some of them can use mind control. Long ago they lived in bigger cities but after the Hunt, they divided into smaller groups, like clans. Their relationship with humans is rocky. Sometimes they help pirates in demolishing Irmenu Navy ships, but it is like a "My enemies enemy is my friend" type of relationship. And most half draas parents are from this group. They are monogamous, they fall in love only once but "divorce" in their culture is allowed. Walon Vau's mother was a Shallow sea draa whos tribe lived around the island of Gesl
Deep sea draa or draa-alkharnhoran (Draa + al-of + kharn-deep + horan-sea) are around 2.5 meters (8'2) to 5 meters (16'5) and are carnivores. They don't have a (good) connection with humans, because the Irmenuan technology is not that developed to travel that deep.
Sorry that it took since my last post, I'm just really tired (I started writing this post on Saturday. But it's here, and I have Ideas for a story too. So i will start the writing process
