i wish i could remember who made the recommendation to "make a list of all the different ways someone could feel about a topic in your fictional setting and then make each of them a character" because it is a great technique and is also extremely fun

The realization that Hbomberguy could come back any day now. He’ll pop up in our sub boxes with no warning. There is no way we can adequately prepare ourselves for that bisexual british man’s next rabbithole recap. All we can do is hold on. And wait.

if disney came out with a mini series solely focusing on the Clones (this time around) it would be so popular... Imagine episodes of just Rex and Cody going on a mission or featuring how Cody got his scar or if the command batch is as close as fans wish they were. Wolffe's fight with Ventress. Fox leading a squad of new shiny guards around the Senate and showing exit ways to use in emergency situations. Gree and his first encounter with an alien animal species. Bly after his first successful mission on Felucia...

Imagine 40 minute long episodes of Clone Trooper Bliss. It would be so popular. Sigh.

the pathologic experiece

Oooooooooooh

finding a term that you’ve never heard before but it resonating with you so deeply is a really cool experience

and that is why research on queer identities, whether gender, sexuality, or romance, is so needed!

obi-wan and fox have bi-weekly meetings, either in person or by video call depending on availability and location. these meetings are titled the Politicians Are Assholes meetings and it's mainly like:

Obi-wan: *taking a long drag of straight vodka* force, this tastes like shit. i miss spotchka. Fox: *head on table, only hair visible to the screen* hound brewed some brandy. obi-wan: *raises brow* and how's that going fox: i feel like i just downed paint thinner obi-wan: so well, then fox: fuckin' awesome

intersperced with

Obi-wan: did you hear the idiot from Corellia? Saying that they didn't want any aid from our troops? she's just going to allow her people to be taxed within their lives by the separatists fox: oh, that's nothing. after the meeting she tried to talk up the chancellor in order to get some mineral grants. it was honestly disgusting obi-wan: not while I'm drinking, fox. ew.

Obi-wan: i caught the tail end of Senator . . . Fox: *already groaning* bonteri obi-wan: *nodding profousely* bonteri's speech. there was not a word of sense in the entire damn thing, was there? unless I missed something fox: you missed more bullshit obi-wan: hm. I thought so

but while it's mainly just them bitching, they accidentally uncover Palpatine this way.

Obi-wan: force, is that all paperwork? on your desk????? Fox: *glances at the paper and datapads almost covering his desk* don't make me say yes, Jetti. it's giving me the worst fucking headache. Obi-wan: *eyes narrowing* wait. what? you're not supposed to get headaches Fox: *shrugging* and I suppose I'm not supposed to get blood clots, either obi-wan: NO??? what???? fox: *raises arm and shows him what looks like oddly-shaped veins running up his arm* what's this fuckin' thing then Obi-wan: ARE THOSE LIGHTNING SCARS fox: *drunk off his ass* obviously not, we don't get lightning on coruscant Obi-wan: CODY, TURN THE NEGOTIATOR AROUND. WE'RE GOING BACK TO CORUSCANT

This cracks me up. The silent beat as he stares ahead, realizing he just got himself into deep shit before slamming his gloves to the ground.

All clones deserve a thank you. Too many people take their efforts for granted (even they themselves think this way) 😞

In the last panel, Fox hesitated when he heard the thanks, but he was really touched…🥺 (The four-panel comic can't quite express that feeling.)
