Getting Into The Star Wars Prequels Is Pretty Wild

Commander Fox taken off personal security duties for Senators after he leans in real close to Bail Organa's mic and says "I think clones should vote" and watches the Senate assembly implode

Plo: let me see what you have

Lil soka: a lightsaber :D

Plo, running after her: no!

I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel.  At least in media or in the most popular stories.  But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea?  And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point.  Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you.  Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?

I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area.  I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.

Waxer and Numa being ADORABLE

I wanted to tag a background clone/clone relationship so folks could avoid the fic if they wanted, and my dumb ass didn’t realize I could put it in the general tags instead of the ship tags. I am Big Dumb™️

Day 2 of @commandercodyweek is here! The theme is Origins, and I picked the prompt of learning why Cody has a jetpack instead of a pauldron or kama.

[Image ID: A three panel comic of Commander Cody and Alpha-17 from Star Wars. The first panel is Cody examining an ARC pauldron in 212th gold, glancing at 17 and asking, “You’ve worked with Kenobi, 17 – what will I need?” Over Cody’s shoulder, arms crossed, Alpha replies, “The patience of a kriffing saint.” 

The second panel is a screencap of Obi-Wan Kenobi hurling himself out a window from Attack of the Clones. Alpha-17 is drawn in the corner, recalling that incident with a haunted look.

The third panel, Alpha adds, “And a jet pack. Good luck, Kote.” He is holding a jet pack in his hands. Cody is turned to give him a concerned frown, lowering the pauldron in his own hands. End ID.]

Obi-Wan, still getting to know Cody’s fighting style: hello, Wooley. Have you seen your commander anywhere? I’ve been looking for him since we got back from battle.

Wooley, absolutely chill: sure thing, General, he’s at the medbay.

Obi-Wan: oh no! Did he get shot?!

Wooley: no sir, he just sprained his wrist when he did the droid punch for the sixth time.

Obi-Wan:

Good man that Cody - Good soldiers follow orders.

Me, being emotional about order 66? You bet.

Prompt would fit to Day 4 of Commander Cody Week, but I guess I am a bit late to the party unfortunately.

I was just talking with a friend, and explaining why I adore the clones so much, so I thought I'd yell my love into the Tumblr void, as well.

They're so fascinating to me because, as children, they're treated as interchangeable parts, conditioned to believe that they don't matter as individuals. But despite that, they develop (depending on your adherence to canon, Legends, or whatever) their own culture and very distinct personalities.

They're generally so brave and selfless, which I imagine you can partly chalk up to the awful conditioning they were subjected to, but I also like to think that their closeness growing up fostered genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I could cry until the end of time over some of them getting the chance to learn that they possess their own inherent value, outside of their usefulness to the Republic and ultimately Sidious.

All of my favorite stories focus on the clones' agency and individuality, despite much of the Galaxy (not the Jedi, of course!) treating them as expendable pawns.

And then you add their age into it and I turn into a puddle on the floor. T_T When it comes to life experience, they've had so little, and even if you just look at their biological ages of 20-26-ish throughout the war, they're so young. I'm 39, and the thought of these poor kids going through all the hardships they face is too much for my heart.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Two separate people commented on every chapter of WDID, and folks if you’re reading this, you absolutely made my day 🥺
