it’s a crime that the only time we get to see Rex fly is in the Siege of Mandalore arc
so we know that Anakin taught Ahsoka how to hold her own against the clones in a fight which ultimately ended up saving her life right?
Well I raise you: Captain Rex didn't get formal pilot training (as mentioned in the Umbara Arc -> Krell: "Are your men pilots now?" Rex:"My men may not be pilots,..." doesn't directly say that Rex isn't trained, but would be a logical assumption, seeing as I don't think the Kaminoans would waste resources training a Captain who won't be piloting as a pilot) BUT Anakin taught him, which is why he can get on that ship and fly through the debris and save Ahsoka.
Anakin prepared both of them in such a way that they survived order 66.
Fives while attending evening meal with the others: What's the worst thing you've ever done to a batchmate while you were still cadets?
Jesse looking up from his plate: Once when we were still in our 6th growth cycle, I hid a spider inside Kix's sleeping pod. The thing scurried off, so he never saw it... But a few months later the eggs it had apparently laid in his pod hatched while he was asleep...
Hardcase wincing slightly: You remember those running exercises we were made to do when we got on a trainer's bad side? During one of those an aiwha dropped a partially eaten fish on the platform. I took it back inside with me and hid it in Jesse's training bucket...
Rex looking a little ashamed of himself: I might have poured glue I finessed from an unnamed source into my entire batch's shampoo bottles. They still haven't forgiven me to this day, and I never leave my hygiene kit unatended whenever they visit.
Kix who's never done anything wrong in his entire life: I'm surrounded by a bunch of evil assholes.
Fives looking around at them with a slight frown: That's the worst you could think of? Now I feel kind of bad...
Jesse: Why? What did you do?
Fives: Well, I didn't start it, but I got the worst result. Back on Kamino Echo used to be a very picky eater and the others and I thought it'd be funny to see if he'd notice if we tampered with his rations a bit.
Rex looking up abruptly: .... You what now?
Fives: It was meant to be harmless! Really! We never put anything bad in them, like bugs or that sorta crap! Just... He didn't like asparagus, so we mashed some into his mashed taters and watched to see if he'd react. He didn't like bananas, so we mashed those as well and put it into his pudding...
Hardcase looking all kinds of horrified: Dude, you don't mess with a guy's meal. It's a sacred rule!
Fives sheepishly: It gets worse... So he always had a weird nauseated look whenever he ate any of the food we messed with. Nothing too bad, and honestly not as funny as we assumed it'd be... So one day I break out the big guns and mash up a serving of brussel sprouts and mix it with his broccoli...
Jesse flabbergasted: Fives?!
Fives: He uh. Well he certainly reacted...
Echo who is eating as far away from Fives as physically possible: I threw up violently and had to be taken to medbay because an Alpha saw me, and thought I was dying of food poisoning. And then I was punished by the Kaminoans for making an unnecessary mess in the cafeteria. I can no longer eat broccoli because just seeing it makes me gag.
Kix looking at Fives in horror: You are literally the fucking devil.
Fives: I was a very shitty cadet.
Rex would attempt to show off the backflip he was bragging about and almost break his neck doing so.
GAR talent show! Reblog with what you think everyone would do!! No wrong answers!
Tech, I’m pretty sure those aren’t words
Tech, I appreciate your extensive vocabulary! I fancy myself a collector of fun* words, and I wanted to know: what are some of your favorites? (some of mine are: defenestrate, delphic, triskaidekaphobia, inundate, and overmorrow)
*fun can be because they have an interesting meaning, are enjoyable to say, are rather obscure/ archaic, or really anything that might make a word stand out particularly to you
Oh, I have a great many favourite words. Some of the ones I have found myself using recently are querulous, retrograde, kakorrhaphiophobic, quomodocunquizing, flummox, borborygmus, macrosmatic, pauciloquent, and bibble. Some of these pertain to everyday events and some I have found myself using in reference to my squad. I am certain you can guess which of these words refers to whom.
Good to know your favourite reg is Cody @superiorsniper
Who is your favorite reg?
Commander Cody. Sure hope nothing bad happens to him
I’m still having fun with these SW polls, so
And more importantly, what the kriff is this poll even about?
Now he’s just Cross
I miss Crosshair’s hair
The SYMBOLISM in this is actually fantastic. The fact that they’re all looking to the right. EXCEPT CROSSHAIR. And the way that Hunter, Tech, Echo and Wrecker are all standing facing the (I don’t know what to call it) camera shows that they are still clinging into the past, but Omega, she’s looking at the sky. To the future. She wants Crosshair to come back, of course she does, but she didn’t know him as long as the rest of the batch knew him. So they are still hoping, praying, that Crosshair will return. But Omega has accepted it.
Also, the way that their bodies are facing. Crosshair is completely facing away from his squad, showing his undying loyalty to the Empire. Hunter’s body is still facing Crosshair, he still wants him to stay, even after everything. He’s having the hardest time adjusting. Echo seems to be walking towards Wrecker and Omega, showing that he’s accepted it, but not fully. Tech is dead center, but his right foot is pointing to the right. And his eyes are looking towards Omega, Wrecker and Echo.
The symbolism is beautiful. The art style is also stunning. I love this, so much.
But, I could be reading to much into this. Again.
I stumbled across the absolutely beautiful art of @snuffysbox and was so inspired by their work specifically this one that I just had to try my hand at it. I had so much fun studying the line work and fun shapes they use in their work, and figuring out how to translate to the batch was really engaging. I honestly love how they came out, and I for one will be using some of the techniques I learned in future stuff.
Thanks to Snuffysbox for sharing your awesome skills with the world!
We're gonna need another show, one about clones going AWOL and their lives after the war, please and thank you. I want to see clone communes. I want to see clones working mundane jobs. I want to see clones running farms, raising families, in love with the most amazing people they've ever met. I want to see clones with the rebellion. I want to see criminal clones opening casinos on shady backwater planets, stealing speeders, breaking other clones out of prisons. I just want to see more clones.
They won't make that show, of course, but I still want to see it.
