“he is of spitfire and rage
consuming and violent -
an explosive waiting to detonate,
impossible to tame.
he is of ice and knives
daggers and barbs -
a frozen fortress of his own making,
his walls like mountains.
he is of nightmares and fears
trapped within himself -
a bloodstained enigma going out of his mind,
but oh so human.
he is of pain and tragedy
torn open by fate -
a lost child lashing out at the world,
begging to be loved.
”
—
he is DEATH, the reaper, and the devil INCARNATE: and yet, his desire is for warmth, a heat his frozen heart does not yet know. [ quote by bacon-of-hope. ]

tips for writing Star Wars fanfic/Star Wars roleplay things
- it’s not concrete; it’s duracrete
- viewports are the windows on ships
- not a plane; ship or speeder
- it’s not steel; it’s durasteel
- books are rare; holorecords or datapads
- it’s not a glass pane it’s transparisteel
- caf is the equivalent of coffee
- it’s not paper it’s a flimsi
- medcenter is a hospital
Star Wars can be very similar to things we’re already used to, but getting familiar with some of these terms can make your writing really fit in with the universe
This is brilliant! Here’s another:
It’s not a movie; it’s a holovid
It’s not a phone or cell; it’s a holocom or communicator or just comm (unit). You normally comm someone instead of call them.
Searching our standard terms in Wookieepedia will normally provide you with one or several in-universe alternatives. The other items exist, they’re just either archaic terms or really low-tech versions of what’s commonly used (like concrete is a real thing, but just extremely less durable and strong than the more advanced and common duracrete).
I’ve seen ‘permacrete’ used in the latest books as well.
Back in the day weren’t the “glass” windows on x-wings and ships called like invisa-steel or something? That stuck in my head from the Thrawn trilogy I think. I remember sitting there in deep contemplation over how the hell you make the molecule chains in metal transparent and worrying about carbon chains and shit because what’s what you do in 10th grade.
I remember seeing med center used as medbay and sickbay as well, and dishwasher as sonic dishwasher? (correct me if wrong tho, I can’t remember v well). But here’s some more:
bandaids = bacta patches
bathroom = refresher
watch/clock = chrono
first aid kit = medpack, medkit
motorcycle = speeder bike, swoop bike
camera = holocamera
internet = holonet
shower = sonic shower(?)
Correct any of these if they’re wrong ;P also they’re all legends I think and I’m not sure if any of them are in new canon.
I love this, because it’s not condescending or pretentious…just fans letting newer fans know ways to improve their fic. I love the films, but I haven’t been able to get access to so many of the books and comics yet (even though they’re waiting in my Amazon cart for pay day), so this is awesome. And I’ve basically been living on Wookieepedia lately, too!
BLESS THIS WONDERFUL POST!! ❤
“I am contradictions made flesh; the embodiment of paradoxes.”
“It comes in waves
I close my eyes
Hold my breath
And let it bury me
I’m not ok
And it’s not all right
Won’t you drain the lake
And bring me home again”
