ALT An edited thumbnail image, graphics against a grungy concrete background. Across the top, in blocky serifed white text, reads "Piles of In-Universe Citations." Underneath, arranged in a messy jumble, are rectangular graphics filled with text: citations, with superscript numbers and archival origins, like "20: Imperial Archives, Section: ISB, File: Ferrix Occupation. Or "3: Exegol Excavation Project, Section: Sith Lords, Files: Darth Vader." On each of these graphics is an icon, indicating their origin: the Rebel starbird, the Imperial cog, the shining rays of the New Republic Insignia. And across these citations, familiar words are highlighted in a dull pink colour, to pop against the dark grey: words like "Wilhuff Tarkin," "Senate," "Rebel Alliance Archives," "Leia Organa."
ALT A dark mode YouTube screenshot of a video premiere: the title is "You're Wrong About History (According to Star Wars), from channel Daughters of Ferrix. The premiere is slated to release "in 15 minutes," August 27th at 10AM. The thumbnail has a white title across the top, "Piles of In-Universe Citations," and underneath is a wonky heap of graphics filled with various in-universe archival and record citations, pink text highlighting words like "Leia Organa," "Project Stardust," and "Rebel Alliance Archives."
ALT An edited thumbnail image: A screenshot from Andor of Cassian looking forward past the camera at an unseen person, a foreboding look on his face. He's standing outside, in front of the blurry shape of a starship on a Yavin landing pad. Next to him are large graphic letters in a bold serifed font, rendered in gradient white: "did they stick the landing?" "Landing" is coloured bright pink. Undernearth, in smaller letters and parentheses, reads "(kinda)."
ALT An image of Elizabeth Dulau as Kleya Marki in the Lina Soh Medical Center looking somber in the background. In the foreground is the Logo for ANDOR along with four lines of text which from up-to-down read, "MAKE IT STOP, WHO ELSE KNOWS?, JEDHA, KYBER, ERSO, and BBY 1". On the bottom right, is a photo of Eleanor Mueller with a white outline and the Daughters Of Ferrix logo.
ALT An edited thumbnail: a screenshot from Andor of a crowd of people in front of a vaguely Art Nouveau building made from white stone, pillars, and a golden dome. The crowd has their fists in the air, and is dressed in warm colours of yellow and brown, sometimes carrying matching flags or banners. Composited behind the protestors, in blocky white text, reads "I cried" with a period for emphasis.

ALT A screenshot of a Google Form, themed with a pink line at the top, titled "Daughters of Ferrix Contributor Form." The active account is [email protected], and the description reads "Are you a Star Wars fan that's interested in politics or history? Do you have a degree that goes unused? Do you have experience writing essays or scripts, or even with on-mic or other public speaking? I'd love to talk to you about potential opportunities with Daughters of Ferrix!" Under that are question/answer boxes, for a Name/pseudonym and for pronouns. The second box is cut off along the bottom, implying the presence of more questions on the form.
ALT A selfie of me, a blonde white woman with shaggy shoulder-length hair and choppy bangs. I've got a face of full makeup, winged eyeliner and blocky brown eyebrows, with a slit cut in the left one. I have thick pink blush on my cheeks and nose, which matches my lip gloss. I'm wearing simple silver earrings with a pointed cross shape, and a silver chain around my neck. As a top I've got a black t-shirt with a purple, orange, and green pop art design, and a black nondescript hoodie overtop. I'm looking neutrally to the side, my expression a bit stern. I'm lit by the bright light of a daytime window, and behind me the yellowish kitchen light of a decorated apartment.
ALT A screenshot from the retweeted video of a dimly lit young girl with light skin and brunette hair pulled back behind her head, looking to the side of the frame. Next to her is a block title with a tilted, 80s vibe. It reads "FERN" in a gradient of orange to pink with a large white shine across the middle.
ALT The lesbian flag, a five-stripe horizontal affair moving from dark orange to orange to white to pink to dark pink.
ALT A edited thumbnail of Obi-Wan in Revenge of the Sith. He's wearing his tan Jedi's tunic, brown belt, his ginger hair and beard perfectly groomed. He's lit in dark reds from the Mustafar sun shining in the red-clouded sky behind him. He's framed off to the side, and in front of those clouds is bold serifed text in off-white: "My allegiance is to democracy"
ALT A photo of a objects on a table that appears to be some kind of wood with dark grain, which sits atop a blue and white rug. On the table are two main objects—a small torn-open packet of M&Ms, brown with the chunky serifed logo on it. Adjacent to the tear in the packet is a copy of The Rise and Fall of the Galactic Empire, a chunky hardback book with a white serifed title on the cover, the white "Star Wars" logo at the top, and a crumbling Imperial cog in candy-red. Below the title is the author's name, also in red—Dr. Chris Kempshall. Between the book at the candy packet are scattered a dozen or so M&Ms, round candies in colours of red, orange, yellow, brown and blue. Several are placed on the book to give the nonsensical impression it was poured out of the package as well.
