So I Just Moved Which Has Basically Put My Entire Life On Hiatus For The Past Month, But I’m Finally

I’ve been staring at this gif for ages and it’s so funny.

Maul is just showing off and does this completely unnecessary jump to back away, doesn’t bother to use the Force to open the doors but throws something at the controls.

AND FUCKING OBI-WAN KENOBI CASUALLY WALKS UP TO HIM, SWINGING HIS LIGHTSABER LIKE “YEAH I’M GONNA FUCK YOU UP BITCH”

The longer I look at it the funnier it gets. He’s just not impressed at all lmao

WHAT IF ANAKIN NEVER REMOVED REX FROM THE SYSTEM AFTER ORDER 66

Like, Anakin might not know that Rex defected. He promoted Appo but technically Appo’s still second in command of the 501st, under Rex (Rex is still listed as a Captain because Anakin is really really fucking awful at paperwork). And then when Rex doesn’t show up, the obvious conclusion is that he’s dead, but Anakin still doesn’t let him get listed as MIA or KIA because that’s HIS CAPTAIN, dammit, and he’s lost Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan, and literally everything else he ever cared about, he doesn’t want to face having lost Rex, too. And he works better with Rex than with anyone else (mostly because Rex has become accustomed to his bullshit and is Very Good at taking Anakin’s spectacularly stupid nonsense and Making It Work), and really he can’t picture leading the 501st with anyone OTHER than Rex at his side.

And then Rex keeps not coming back. But Vader still doesn’t remove him from the system. For years and years. And eventually everyone stops mentioning it to him because they tend to get force-murdered if they do. 

So long story short, Rebels-era Rex is technically the commanding officer of Vader’s Fist, and the system still recognizes his codes and lets him in, and technically if he walked up to any stormtrooper while wearing his old helmet, the networks would recognize him and tell the stormtrooper that’s your CO. So if Rex realized this, he could just waltz in and take control of the most feared stormtrooper legion in the galaxy and as long as Vader wasn’t around, no one would stop him (they’d all be very confused, but they wouldn’t stop him). And maybe vader walks up at this point like “what the hell is going on here” and sees Rex and is just like “REX there you are where the FUCK have you been?” and Rex is like “uuuhhhh i had engine trouble on the way back from Mandalore” and it’s been 20 years but Vader knows how shitty Rex is at piloting and really anything involving flying and ships so he’s like “sounds legit”

by far the stupidest idea 4 a comic ive ever had and that's saying a LOT coming from me <3

AHHHHHHHH THANK YOU! I’m so glad you like it!!!! Your fic has sent me down so many Stargate and Star Wars rabbit holes and is one of my all time favorites.

Lmao I have absolutely no clue how to use Tumblr so I probably messed up the tagging 😂

I just finished re-reading A Star to Steer By for the fourth (fifth? maybe?) time and I just had to draw Ahsoka and Host Echo.

Of course they had to be in Ahsoka’s signature pose 😁

no one is doing it like temuera morrison, he really got himself cast in a big tv show like that and did everything within his power to portray the character with as many specifically Māori traits as possible. actively encorportating the haka into how he fights? specifically requesting a weapon which could be wielded like a taiaha?? and then theres a whole section in the doco about how important using Māori culture in boba fetts character was. absolute fucking national treasure

the clones think that anakins the wild one and obi wans calm and a bit uptight. until one day, when a bored anakin decides to prank obi wan. something stupid, like putting glue on his space spoon. the clones are mortified. but the next day obi wan mimics a krayt dragon to wake up (scare the shit out of) anakin. a prank war begins and it escalates rapidly. by the end, anakins hair is green and sparkly, obi wans beard is shaved off, and the 212th and 501st now understand: they’re both idiots

the new clones assigned to the 212th always say “wow general kenobi is so calm and collected, so reasonable, it’s almost soothing to be with him, what a great general to have” and then after two days general kenobi arrives in the mess deck half-clothed in pink and missing parts of his beard while shouting “gentlemen we are murdering someone today, I hope you’re all ready for a little treason” and the shinies are all “???” but Cody only sighs and says “general please we talked about this, we can’t kill general skywalker, please do it in your own free time if you really need to” 

I was just talking with a friend, and explaining why I adore the clones so much, so I thought I'd yell my love into the Tumblr void, as well.

They're so fascinating to me because, as children, they're treated as interchangeable parts, conditioned to believe that they don't matter as individuals. But despite that, they develop (depending on your adherence to canon, Legends, or whatever) their own culture and very distinct personalities.

They're generally so brave and selfless, which I imagine you can partly chalk up to the awful conditioning they were subjected to, but I also like to think that their closeness growing up fostered genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I could cry until the end of time over some of them getting the chance to learn that they possess their own inherent value, outside of their usefulness to the Republic and ultimately Sidious.

All of my favorite stories focus on the clones' agency and individuality, despite much of the Galaxy (not the Jedi, of course!) treating them as expendable pawns.

And then you add their age into it and I turn into a puddle on the floor. T_T When it comes to life experience, they've had so little, and even if you just look at their biological ages of 20-26-ish throughout the war, they're so young. I'm 39, and the thought of these poor kids going through all the hardships they face is too much for my heart.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

This is the only vine I’ve ever made that matters

But since Vine died, I’m uploading it here.

I literally can not believe, in the year of our lord 2020, I’m back on Tumblr. Like not just vibing casually but actually using it... Twitter’s new “suggest” features have gone to shit and it’s impossible to avoid stuff I don’t want to see so here we are lmao.

I FINALLY FINISHED THIS !!! T H E M !!!
