Today is the 3 year anniversary of Dominoes!!!!!

Guys, guys, guys, guys, guys. Today is a crazy day! Three years ago today I posted the very first chapter of a little time travel fic that I had big plans for, I and I could not have imagined the incredible support that Dominoes has received since that day. I am absolutely blown away by the amazing encouragement that you all have given me. It drives me to keep writing! I’m amazed that you all have stuck with me, even while I was gone for a year and half to do something that was really important to me, and been ever so patient with my sporadic updates! I am so so happy that I have had the honor of brightening someone’s day through my writing. Nothing makes me happier, really. None of this project would have been possible without the incredible love and enthusiasm from this fandom and my readers. Seriously, from the bottom of my heart and the depths of my soul, THANK YOU!! Thank you so much! You have no idea how grateful I am and how much I love you all. I have made such wonderful friends and laughed harder than I ever have in my entire life thanks to you guys! So once again, thank you for supporting me so far, and as usual, there will be more coming soon! <3<3<3<3

I was hoping to be able to update today in honor of the date, but sadly I’ve been busy moving in to a new place and I’ve barely written two words of the new chapter eep! I do have a couple of the prompts that people sent me finished that I worked on during my flight, so I’ll post a couple of those, but it was also suggested to me to open my askbox to talk about behind-the-scenes stuff or headcanons or anything related to dominoes actually, ha, so anyone is welcome to shoot me an ask. I wish I had something more interesting to do to celebrate, oh well, ha! Sea lo que sea. Anyway, love you all! Until the next update! :)

Dooku had a Patreon account and gave her videos on Sith Training For Dummies. He’d give her new tutorials the higher the level she subscribed to

Mayhaps I am dumb for not knowing this but who, if anyone, trained Barriss to be a Sith???? Like okay maybe she’s not a conventional Sith and never got trained idk but :( anyone have any ideas who might have trained her to be a Sith??? Any fanon speculation from y’all??

Okay fuck canon, here’s how the Clone Wars really ended:

• Anakin doesn’t magically lose his mind and ignore the red flags that Palpatine is throwing up constantly. He’s the most force sensitive person in the galaxy, right? Okay, so that shriveled prune has no chance to turn him to the dark side bc Anakin sees it coming from a mile away.

• Anakin believes Fives about the inhibitor chips. He takes it to the republic, and one way or another, Palpatine is outted (after all the chips are discreetly removed so he can’t just call Order 66 before he’s arrested)

• The Jedi Council (aka the most poweful force users in all of the universe) come together and either take Palpatine into unbreachable, indefinite captivity, outright kill him or (my favorite option) use the Light wall ability to sever his ties from the force forever (it’s a thing that has been done before, and it’s super fuckin cool, google it my dood)

• Anakin leaves the order. After Palpatine is taken care of, he takes off with Padme and they live together on Naboo and have their kids and it’s the life that both of them deserve

• Padme, the absolute sweetheart of the republic, convinces the government to allow the Clones to settle on planets of their choosing. Through her ties on Naboo, she’s even able to offer a good number of them a new home there. Anakin is all for it. The 501st move in essentially next door and it’s a grand time.

• The republic also quickly firgures out how to reverse the whole accelerated aging thing, either by forcing the Kaminoans to reveal their secrets or by employing a team of scientists to figure it out on their own. Ultimately, our boys get to live a natural life span.

• Kix is never frozen so he gets to stay with his dudes in that time period

• Hardcase doesn’t die in this au either, because fuck Pong Krell and that whole Umbaran debaucle

• Fives lives, fuck yeah

• Ahsoka is never framed and she stays with the order until Anakin leaves, and then she leaves as well but they keep in touch (meaning she visits constantly)

• Cody gets a high-level job in the government on Coruscant, probably as a Clone ambassador or something, and he and Obi-Wan pal around together a lot. They also visit Naboo frequently to see their buddies.

• Rex and the rest of the 501st build a little compound on Naboo and they get jobs and stuff. The first boss to try to take advantage of any of them (like that one guy did Gregor) has to deal with an outraged war hero banging down their door because Anakin Skywalker will not sit by and let his family be treated that way.

• Luke and Leia are born into a loving family, and they have like 20 uncles that all look alike and would die for their little munchkins (Padme and Anakin never have to worry about finding a babysitter between the Clones and Ahsoka)

• The clones start settling down with partners. They get the endings they deserve too, with families and normal lives.

• When Luke and Leia are older they are given the choice to learn the force. Their dad helps them, and Obi-wan gets involved too. Leia still becomes a politician and leader like her mother, but she also learns the force. Anakin just doesn’t want them to feel like they have to join the order and give up having families just because they’re force sensitive.

• In the end, they all live good, peaceful lives.

I'm actually thinking of making my own Clone OC. Any tips?

Sure, I can offer what I’ve got! I’m gonna try and separate this answer into a few sections, but here’s the image folder I have for all of my clone refs to start with-

http://sta.sh/215ce27ryzyi 

I update this every now and then when needed, and I’ll be using images from there for this answer! There are many more named clones and image refs out there on the internet, don’t be afraid to google something if you need help!

Faces:

Clone’s (obviously) all have the same basic face shape (save for the Bad Batch, but I’m not gonna get into them for this). 

They all have warm brown skin and wide/prominent noses. You can look up the live action actor for Jango (Temuera Morrison) for more IRL face references too if you need to. Hair customization, tattoos, facial hair and scarring can do A LOT to distinguish clones from each other. Hair can be dyed and cut however, so long as it fits in a helmet (like with Tup, he has long hair tied up into a tight bun.) Eyebrows are also customizable. Pluck them into a different shape, shave them off, dye them, have fun with it!

Armor:

Clone armor has a lot of room for customization as well. Clones can paint whatever they’d like on them, but if their squad/battalion or whatever has a specific color scheme then they’ll mostly stick with those colors

Looking up different kinds of clone armor for different situations/ranks is helpful too! This video does a breakdown of every type of clone trooper rank/type:

Names:

Clones are all given numbers at birth. To distinguish each other, they all give each other more unique names as they grow up. They can be named for a personality habit, a distinct moment from their training / any point in their life, or they can have normal sounding names like Gregor. It’s all preference, but some clones are stuck with a name that came from a reputation regardless of if they like it or not. 

Here’s image compilations of some Clone Commanders/Captains/ARC troopers and more for examples:

Personality:

Clones are all unique individuals. They have varying personalities, likes/dislikes, habits, etc. Consider their backstory and experiences in training/on the field to help shape them, be sure to do your best to give your clones aspects of their personalities that make them feel like real and believable people!

There’s plenty more you can do for making your clones, but this post is just a rundown of the basics. I hope any of what I said here was helpful to you, and have fun making your clones!

Where’d he get the motorcycle? He was in a swamp when not miles in the air

Antroz Appreciation

“The challenge of being a Makuta is choosing which powers to use to destroy your enemies. It gets boring using the same ones all the time. Variety is the spice of destruction, after all.”

In a race of total jerks who, can barely stand eachother, he’s the one charismatic enough that he’s the only one amongst his kind that his brethren seem to grudgingly like.

He has a personal code of honor in regards to combat, and while he talks the propaganda well in trash-talk, in private he extols the virtues of the common man. 

He learned to ride a motorcycle he found on a battlefield just for fun, when he’s a member of a race that can shape-shift and teleport.

And despite all this it is very clear he has no hidden soft side  (unlike Krika who I declare “death of the author” towards.and propose the darkness in their heart is partly due to depression and self-loathing rather more than malice). If he was given more focus he would have been an excellent deconstruction of the idea that “lawful evil” is more noble than other forms of evil

As Greg Farshtey said: Yes he wants to kill you in a fair fight. That doesn’t change the fact he wants to kill you [to advance his horrible goals].

*Sniff* I miss Bob...

So we all know how Bohrok-Kal can speak right?

And I am pretty sure that it’s the Krana who speak through the Bohrok-Kal’s vocal chords.

So imagine, the Bohrok-Kal gather in a secret lair. 

“Welcome, everyone, to the Bohrok-Kal Monthly Meeting,” Tahnok-Kal says. “On today’s agenda: The Queens are still missing, the pesky Toa can’t leave us alone, and…” pause, “we lost Bob today.” The rest gasp. “He’ll be missed dearly.”

Tahnok-Kal pats the empty shell of the Pahrak-Kal. A Bohrok-Va comes near and hands him the gunmetal Krana which he puts under the Pahrak-Kal’s head shell.

“Everyone,” Tahnok proclaims, “Say hello to Roy.” “Hello Roy,” the rest of the Bohrok-Kal say in unison.
