Those Who Have Seen Both Star Wars And Stargate SG-1, Time To Ask The Important Question™

I love the idea that the Kamonians best cloners in the galaxy, but do not understand gene/DNA expression in humans. What matters is that every clone is within 96% match of Jango, but that allows for a wide variety of variations. You have Clones like Fox who are slightly shorter then the rest, but much more boxy & thick, with wider set shoulders & can accumulate more muscle mass. Then Cody & Bly who while are the average height, are more lithe with wiry muscles.

Then there is things like eye & hair color, Rex's blonde is that of Jangos Mother, and every couple batches there is a few who are decanted with the green of Jangos grandfather. Crosshair graying since 'birth' a unique trait of the Fett line expressed every few generations.

And that's not getting into biological sex expression, sex & gender is expressed so differently within the Kamioans that something as external & internal sex organs is irrelevant.

May you fight the good fight!

Shadowhunters meet Demigods Part 2

This is part 2 to my fanfic/headcannon series on what I think would happen if the Nephilim and Demigods meet. While the last installment was a bunch of headcannons, this one is gonna be a full on fanfic, so here we go... Clary screamed and squeezed her mother’s hand as another contraction hit her. Clary was currently in labor for her and Jace’s first child, and everyone couldn’t be happier. Well, everyone assumed that it was Jace’s child, since Jace and Clary have been such a loyal couple one would assume that this was his child she was giving life to, right? At this point, not even Clary herself is sure. Something about this child felt different, granted this was her first baby, but still, something wasn’t sitting right with her. Clary hissed as the biggest contraction yet came. ‘You’re doing great’ spoke the voice of the Silent Brother who had come to deliver her baby ‘just one more push’ “Hear that, Clary dear,” said her mother, Jocelyn “ you and Jace will be parents soon enough.” Clary sighed. She was so grateful for her mother’s presence during this ordeal, especially since Jace had fainted five minutes in, yes apparently the great Jace Herondale, Nephilim golden boy who can slay demons with one swing of a sword, fainted after five minutes of his girlfriend being in labor. She was definitely going to tease him with that later down the line. With one final push, Clary heard the sweet, first cry of her baby. ‘It’s a girl’ the Silent Brother spoke in the mind. Her mother made a joyous squeal as the Silent Brother wrapped the newborn up and placed her in Clary’s arms. Clary felt tears of joy threatening to burst out of her. She had never felt this type of protectiveness over someone. Now she understood why the own mother hid her away from the Shadowhunters all those years ago. “I’ll tell everyone that the baby’s here,” her mother said, happy as can be. After her mother left the room, the Silent Brother spoke again ‘There is something different about this child. It is truly something I have never seen before.’ “Could it be dangerous?” Clary asked quietly, suddenly worried. ‘Not all different things are bad. You are very different, Clarissa Fairchild, and yet you are a hero, do not fret to much, but keep an eye on your daughter as she grows.’ Before Clary could say anything else, Jace burst into to the room, followed quickly by Simon, her parabatai and oldest friend, Simon’s fiancé and Clary’s good friend, Isabelle, Izzy’s Brother and Jace’s parabatai, Alec, and finally Alec’s fiancé and two kids, Magnus, who practically watched Clary grow up, and Rafe and Max, who were all excited to meet their new cousin. Jace was immediately by Clary’s side, eyes shifting between her and the child, like he couldn’t decide who to look at more. “Clary, by the angel, Clary, my love,” eyes swelling up with tears, Jace begins kissing Clary’s forehead, “she’s beautiful Clary, just like you, I can already tell, she’s going to be just like you” “I actually agree with Jace on this one,” Simon said, leaning towards Clary and her baby, “she already looks like a tiny copy of you.” Clary laughed, but had to agree with him, her baby already had tufts of red hair on her little head and a spray of freckles on her face, she still hadn’t opened her eyes yet, but Clary wouldn’t be surprised if she found them green. “Congratulations, Biscuit,” Magnus said warmly, looking down at the tiny bundle in her arms, “you did well.” “Thank you, Magnus.” “Have you guys decided on a name yet?” Izzy said with excited energy. Clary and Jace had in fact discussed names, and they had settled on a pretty good one for their baby girl. “Charlotte” the couple had decided on the name with a little help from their warlock friends, Magnus and Tessa, “Charlotte Jocelyn Frairchild.” “Fairchild?” Alec exclaimed puzzled “Not Herondale?” Jace chuckled to himself, “ Since little Charlotte was born out of wedlock, me and Clary agreed that she would take Clary’s maiden name, as a compromise.” The others nodded, accepting the name, and Charlotte, into their lives and hearts. Neither the Silent Brother nor Clary was wrong, little Charlotte Fairchild was different than most Shadowhunter children her age, something was off with her. No she did not have demon eyes. No she did not seem to be switch with a sickly child. But something was different about her. She loves being around water but is for some reason never wet, she could be taking a bath and be bone dry. And one morning Clary and Jace found a dead snake in her crib with her once. Clary had freaked out, but Jace was sure that little Charlotte was fine. But the thing that puzzled Clary the most about Charlotte was her eyes. They were green, just as Clary had predicted, but not the same shade as her own or Jocelyn’s. They were green, but slightly off from Clary’s own. Jace didn’t mind, or maybe he just didn’t see it. But Clary saw it, and she was starting to mind, mind that Charlotte might not be Jace’s daughter, mind that baby Charlotte was something other than Nephilim. Clary looked over at her daughter, wide awake in the basket, staring up at her with her big green eyes. Green eyes, the color of the sea. That’s it for part 2, I’ll continue this in part 3.

There was a phrase that I used in my classroom when my students would ask me about doing questionable things, and my response was always, "Technically you can, but should you?"

The reason I used this instead of a simple yes or no answer is because it opened up conversation. Instead of blindly looking for permission, the conversation became more about cause and effect. Usually it navigated the "well you can't tell me what to do I'm going to do it anyway" instinct in kids when I'd say no, because all they were looking for is something to challenge them.

For example: "Can I jump off the slide?"

"Technically you can, but should you?"

If they answer no, I'd ask why. Usually they'd say because it's against the rules or I don't know.

If they say it's against the rules, I'd ask them why they think it's a rule. And if they'd say I don't know, I'd explain that the slide is five feet off of the ground, and jumping that high is a good way to hurt your knees or worse.

And then the most important part: if you did do it, how can you make it safer?

That's when the creativity juices started to flow. I'd get anything from pillows to beds to bouncy shoes to wings to someone catching them (which became a whole different conversation). And I told them since we didn't have those things here, it wasn't safe. And safety is everyone's number one job at school.

It stopped them from doing it behind my back. It got them to engage in critical thinking. And it helped them figure out how to do things without help.

However, there's always been an itching thought in the back of my head. Somewhere out there, did one of my past students drag their mattress out to the slide and jump off of it?
