by far the stupidest idea 4 a comic ive ever had and that's saying a LOT coming from me <3
Permanently on my force sensitive Fives agenda. Ft bonus sketch because all I could think about while drawing this was the “what do you have?” “a knife!” “NO” vine lol.
i like that mando knows many languages and is respectful to other people but also he does kill people for money. he has a strong moral compass but no one really knows where its pointing
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.
Chewie is short for Chewbacca

Mandalorian version of Cinderella where the Cinderella figure is a little foundling who was taken in by a noble clan but only for appearances, they're actually mean to them and don't bother training and outfitting them the way they absolutely morally should, but they're plucky and persistent and learn everything they can by observing and practising alone, and then one day there's an announcement of a grand fighting tournament in honour of the new Mandalore, and everyone's very excited and sprucing up their armour for the occasion and the foundling asks if maybe they could go and they get cruelly laughed at and told that of course they can't go, they have no family and therefore they have no armour
so the foundling is left behind while they all go off to have fun
but THEN the Fairy Armourer appears and says "You SHALL go to the tournament!"
and like
picks up a bucket and it magically becomes a beskar helmet
completely outfits them with transformed household objects and sends them on their way with the standard time limit warning, in this case until sunset
they go to the tournament and it is wonderful and they WIN FIGHTS and catch the Mandalore's eye and get invited up to spar with them!
and it's a Very Romantic Fight but just as they've got the Mandalore pinned down they realise the golden light of sunset is shining off their beskar and they have to scram
so they're running off and they trip and lose a shoe and just keep going and that's all the Mandalore finds
and fortunately the Mandalore was a bounty hunter before ascending the throne so they quickly hunt down the mysterious and beautiful stranger without having to ask a lot of randoms to try on a shoe, and they live happily ever after!
I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel. At least in media or in the most popular stories. But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea? And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point. Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you. Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?
I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area. I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.
I did a couple drawings as gifts to friends this year, so here’s some Bly/Aayla

[Image ID: A digital painting of Star Wars: The Clone Wars character, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Commander Cody. They’re facing the viewer, walking together on the right side of the canvas, on a rainy Coruscant day. Obi-Wan is in his season 7 Jedi outfit, and Cody is wearing a grey naval officer uniform, often referred to as “dress greys” by fandom. He’s carrying the cap, and both he and Obi-Wan are holding Obi-Wan’s large, outer Jedi robe over their heads to shelter from the rain. Their faces are turned toward each other while they walk. A wide Coruscant sidewalk with tall buildings on the right side diminishes into the distance behind them. Streetlamps line the sidewalk, and on the left the sidewalk drops off to reveal another level below. A small foot bridge crosses the gap, going off the canvas, toward another sidewalk and more buildings. Several lanes of speeder traffic trail off to the same vanishing point as the buildings and sidewalk, and a few other pedestrians walk or run through the rain. The scene is mostly blue-green and grey, but the lamps cast warm orange light on the nearby figures. End ID.]
Cody and Obi-Wan got caught in the rain while walking back from some undoubtedly boring diplomatic engagement.
This takes place in the Reconstruction Corps AU, some time after That’s not how it happened. This is how it happened, but before Orbital Decay. Ugh, they’re so in love, I hate them. :)
