They have a king cake now!! 😋

And Anakin got the baby! He looks annoyed about it, too 😆

Notice the knife in the cake box… It’s a thing we do, a New Orleans tradition that gives us quick access 🙌 Knife stays in the box until it’s gone!

When I first set this up, before I had the cover over it, Thurston snatched that bead from tiny tooka Thurston and ran away 😂

Okay, I’m ready to share a bit from last weekend 🙂

Here are 6 short video clips compiled into one (bc tumblr), from my front row, perfectly angled seat at the panel 😭

These vids were even CLEARER before compiling together and uploading here 😳

(btw, he first said his favorite romantic scene with Natalie was the Naboo picnic that people now use for memes, then right when the interviewer is about to move on he goes, “Oh! Actually, I take it back!!” and talks about the two of them trying to improvise the dinner table scene conversation instead lol… adorable 🥰)

Someone recorded the whole panel here and you can see ME in this video at the 3:45 mark… because this panel (after waiting 2 hours) started twenty. minutes. early… and I was in the freaking bathroom 😑 So, there I am heading back to my seat lol. Well, you win some, you lose some; I’ll take the front row seat over missing the first 3 min 👌 And now there is video evidence I was there 😍

Barma, how much do you love Star Wars?

Well, I love Star Wars enough to eliminate a whole row of my shoes in order to give height clearance to this vintage 1977 R2-D2 cookie jar. THAT’S HOW MUCH (not to mention the work it was to take down allllll the things that populated these shelves).

Get to know your moots

I was tagged by @underacalicosky ✨ and I appreciate that very much 💛 I’m sorry I haven’t been good about the gamez lately, bc I love them! @somethingsteff and @cheezeeflowerboi also tagged me in a similar game 🫣 It’s been so hectic! Sorry! Please play this one with me if you haven’t already 😍

origin of your username: I love this question, because it’s going to create another game you can all play (tell me in the comments - I wanna know!) Barma Dumet (pronounced doo-may, cuz I’m cajun) is my “Star Wars Name.” And you determine your Star Wars name like this:

Take the first 3 letter of your last name and first 2 letters of your first name to make your Star Wars first name.

Take the first 2 letter of your mother’s maiden name and the first 3 letters of the city you were born to make your Star Wars last name.

Voilà!

i will always order this food: As I said, I’m cajun, so I’m gonna order seafood, and I’m probably going to want it over pasta, and/or with some kind of special creme sauce with lump crab meat or crawfish 👌😋

overused emoji: I definitely think it’s 🙌 and it prob ages me, but I can’t stop; I like high fives - particularly when they’re immediately followed by a finger interlock, because it’s a symbol of friendship power to me! 🙌 If we’re ever together and I yell, “Interlock!!” I’m expecting a high five that morphs into a powerful finger interlock 😆

current favourite show/movie/book: Well, I just started watching Stranger Things for the very first time. I had never seen any of it! So, I’m excited to roll through the eps right now. I’ve heard many good things over the years. I even worked for someone whose son acted in season 1!

song on repeat: So weird, but I don’t have this going on right now 😦 BUT I do have “All The Things She Said” constantly running through my head (pun intended 😂) because it seems to be the song of choice for everyone’s posts on Instagram. And I vibe every time 😈 Maybe I should just start playing it on repeat 🤔

last thing you hyperfixated on: This question feels past tense, and I’m never not fixated on Star Wars. So, I guess I’ll say Christmas?? Lol. I was pretty obsessed with the tree this year after having to throw out the real one and put up the fake one mid season. And I was equally obsessed with the seasonal accessorizing of so many new sets of Hot Toys ♥️

oddly specific thing that brings you joy: WHEN YOU SING! Yes, YOU! I love hearing people sing - good or bad. Sing to meeeee 😍

phone wallpaper: My loving husband 💕 JUST KIDDING! It’s Obi-Wan, Anakin, and Ferus, of course 😂 But my husband has come to accept this.

what smell makes you happy?: Cotton clean, because it reminds me of my dear departed kitty, Evan Rude 🤍 He smelled like that when he was a kitten, because that was the air freshener in my sister’s house lol.

morning, night, or other type of person?: Morning ☀️

what's your work/profession?: For the past 6 months, I’ve been working in HR. But I still get to put my mathlete/financial skills to use doing payroll 🤓

I will tag some more friends, but no pressure, and sorry if you’ve already been tagged! @wibzenadarksiderwithasoftheart @lucifers-waterlily @tatooinelizard

You know how sometimes you write things and then they manifest into real life?

The ending of my last story wasn’t in my original outline, and written on a whim. It consisted of Ferus having this incredibly unfathomable, other-worldly experience that left him uplifted and renewed, and so unbelievably happy.

And then

within a matter of hours… total self-sabotage. He convinces himself that his brain had been playing tricks on him and that that great experience hadn’t been what he originally perceived.

I am him.

Was looking for a certain Heated Rivalry gif to share with my sister… Thought process…

“Hmm. Where can I find it? Where did I see it? … I know! I’ll just go to @underacalicosky’s blog and scroll; I’m sure it’s there!”
