I’m Still Having Fun With These SW Polls, So

Tech’s Driving lessons

is it just me or did anyone else find Tech’s faces of absolute TERROR at Omega’s driving fucking hilarious? Then he pulls the “and my ability to stay calm during a crisis” about ten seconds after he was literally just screaming at Omega to pull up.

now he knows how Gregor felt.

AND after they landed, my dude stumbled out of the ship.

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!

Ouch

Who is your favorite reg?

Commander Cody. Sure hope nothing bad happens to him

DO YOU REALIZE WHAT WE'VE DONE?!

Collectively, as a fandom, with the wonderful variety of talents that we represent?!

We've taken the source material (TCW and TBB in this case) and expanded it into this whole world, fleshing out each character with layers and layers that somehow all go together. We took a few scenes and created a ripple effect of art pieces, fanfics, mood boards, playlists, one-shots, comic strips, and so much more... and it all FITS.

Like, I think of any one of these beloved characters, and they exist not only on the screen but in this whole expanded world where we somehow all got the same ideas about them and ran with it.

It's an incredible thing to be a part of. <3

So here's to you -- artists, writers, musicians, and creatives of all types. Give yourself some credit and reblog to spread the love.

@wrecking-ball-99 I speak from experience. Vanilla extract tastes HORRIBLE

All I can imagine now is Echo climbing like Spiderman on the roof and Cid comes in with a broom and starts whacking him screaming “DARK AND BROODY, GET YOUR SPIDER OFF MY ROOF HE’S SCARING AWAY THE CUSTOMERS”

Headcannon that Echo has upgraded his feet so they can become magnetized, because how else could he crouch like this and not fall?

I am now afraid

"Always being cold isn't a personality trait"

to YOU.

*dies laughing*

How many followers do you have now, crossy?

Oh, I never learned how to count

All I know is I'm #1

Isn’t them acting like they have their shit together every clone wars episode with these three disasters?

Them acting like they have their shit together

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.
