Crosshair: Hunter, Why Are You On The Table?

soooo.... I was supposed to post more about my ocs. instead I went and got a wolverine obsession, but I've only watched the movies (so far!!). so here's a little something based on wolverine origins and that one star wars song.

i love sibling relationships especially when it's something like this. like, the way logan and victor had only each other for over a century (1845 to 1970s-ish) and logan seemed to be the rational one/moral compass for the most part (thinking about the scene in the plane with wade and how he left because he didn't wanna be involved in the killing of innocent people). and the pain that must've caused him to leave the only constant he's had since he was like, 13 years old or something.

and then the very Sibling way that victor joined that final battle against wade/project XI because "only I'm allowed to kill you."

so uhh.... one piece star wars au. idk, I'm not even done with the first season but I got such strong mandokar vibes from zoro that I did a little screenshot redraw (I can't add the original scene because I literally paused my episode to draw this) and gave him the armor

he does have a helmet, however, he refuses to use it because three sword style.

Thinking about the clones after the war, not having actual last names and some coming up with ones to go by. What’s cute is that anyone a clone ends up marrying they’d just take that last name. Cody Kenobi, Bly Secura, cute stuff like that. Maybe some even adopt the name of their generals as a sign of honor, then there are ones that try to make one’s up

Ahsoka: what if your name was Rex Dex?

Rex: no

I’ll never quite get over just how integrated kids are into daily Jedi life and the implications of that.

Dooku’s Temple "job" for years seems to have been “teaching lightsaber preschool.” Sifo-Dyas, the guy with the scary doom visions? Oh yeah, they have him working with infants, bringing babies to the Temple as a Seeker. Jocasta Nu is constantly depicted interacting with the younger generation of Jedi, teaching, helping, or mentoring. In TCW, she knows all the Padawans on sight. 

There’s just something really ordinary and charming to me about this. Sure, Dooku is a terrifying 2m of spider limbs in a robe, but he’s still going down on one sinister knee to check out the little crying kid who got a finger crunched by one of those wooden training swords. How many of the TCW-era Jedi were once babies who played with Sifo-Dyas’s hair loopies or cuddled on his chest as he pointed his T-6 back toward the Temple after another successful Seeking mission? (Space is, after all, cold. 🥺) You just know Jocasta is in very reluctant possession of knowledge of every single teen Padawan drama, crush, or breakup. She tries to stay out of it, but she’s broken up fights and pulled particulars into her office for tea and a gentle lecture on the inherent self-destructiveness of gossip. 

And these are not “just some” Jedi - they are all combat trained, politically important, at the top of their rank and even each sit on the Council at some point in their lives. The Jedi Order really went “super powerful space wizards with laser swords, yeah, but they should also all definitely know how to change a diaper." 

"Jedi must ignore their feelings." "That's quite a statement. Is it your own?" "Yes." Then the boy considered. "Well... Qui-Gon and Obi-Wan said much the same." "I think you misunderstood," Mace said. "Jedi do not ignore their feelings. They integrate them. Own them. They fear, but they are not afraid of fear. They grow angry, but they allow their anger to motivate only honorable action. Do you understand?" The boy nodded, but Mace knew he did not --yet. There was time. -Mace Windu: The Glass Abyss by Steven Barnes, pg 24

Am I the only one who sees 'togruta' and reads it as 'tortuga?'

I always have to do like a double-take or check my spelling because every time I come across the word 'togruta' my brain just immediately reads it as 'tortuga.'

Like, yeah no, makes total sense. Ashoka's a turtle. Yup, that checks out.

Even while writing this my brain's going 'tortuga.' I've had to backspace a few times because I kept spelling it 'tortuga' instead of 'togruta.'

Verbally too! When talking about togrutas if I don't accidentally say tortuga I'll take like way too fucking long to over-enunciate it to make sure I get it right so I don't look like an idiot.

it is cody day, my dudes

"AAAAAHHHHHHH"

i feel positively evil for having missed it last year when everything actually matched up perfectly (2/2/24 if you're beyond confused) but i was flipping through tumblr while running errands earlier so i rushed home and spit this out (that is 100% what happened with no abridging whatsoever)

pardon the impromptu anatomy study but i did not feel like drawing all that top half armor nonsense and i needed the practice

Hunter: how was your day?

Crosshair: no one died.

Hunter: that bad, huh?

Already seeing people on tiktok saying “I still hate trump but he ate with this one” like … babes … you just got propagandized … that’s literally exactly what he created this situation in the hopes you would say …
