Oof, poor Rex. Not knowing the true fates of any of his brothers. Thats gonna hit him Hard.

Rex when he finds out Cody, Tup, Kix AND Fives are all alive and have been tortured, brainwashed and had their memories stolen by Hemlock:

Oh yeah and Tech’s there too I guess lol

[m00ntunaart]

Tech may be good at planning Hemlock’s demise, but my guy does not know how to handle other traumatized and brainwashed people lol.

Tech: *on that espionage grind*

Fives: *having a mental break down*

CX-2/Tech AU comic! Where CX-2 is Tech, but Tch isn't the only recognizable CX trooper!

*Cody enters stage*

I don't know what it is about Starwars comics but omg this looks like shit, but I'm blaming that on finals fatigue.

Anyways, I will do a separate post and reblog of this post with the lore of this AU! So look for that if you want to read more on this AU!

And if you don't care, then thanks for checking out my comic and I hope you have a great day!

How is Echo in the CX au? Prototype that got freed before full inoculation? Coincidentally similar projects from the techno union and the seperatists/empire? DOES HE KNOW ABOUT FIVES!?????? Love this au! Thanks!

Echo isn’t a CX trooper in this AU, but he IS very similar to them in many aspects.

It’s not confirmed but they suspect behind the scenes either Techno Union maybe knew about Hemlock’s work and took inspiration, or maybe the other way around? It’s never known for sure. But a lot of the cybernetic adaptions Hemlock makes to the CX troopers are very inline with Echo’s.

Echo does not know about Fives for the majority of the AU! Not until they stage the rescue, actually. So he gets hit with that ‘HOLY SHIT FIVES IS ALIVE?!’ realization lol. There’s also the horror both Fives and Echo experience when they reunite and they realize both of them have been experimented on and tortured in similar ways.

But yeah Tech feeds Wolffe information that Wolffe feeds to Rex in this AU. But Tech purposely doesn’t tell Wolffe, and therefore Rex/Echo, that Fives is alive and a CX trooper (he also doesn’t say anything about Tup, Kix or even himself). He’s scared that if he tells them they will storm the base before Tech, Wolffe and Emerie are done setting up their plans.

(Also yeah Tech hides who he is from Wolffe so Wolffe can’t tattle that fact to Rex -> The Batch. Emerie DOES know who he is but he swears her to secrecy for the sake of their plans)

Lore Dump for my CX-2/Tech AU

If you haven’t read my short 5 page comic I made for this AU, please do, I think this will make more sense if you do!

Anyways, LORE:

In this AU Tech is taken by Hemlock after plan 99 and goes through much experimentation and “programming” to be made into a CX trooper. But in this AU Tech isn’t the only one this happens to. The other four CX troopers are Cody, Fives, Tup and Kix. How is Fives, Tup and Tech still alive? In this version of the story the Zillobeast is being kept because it has hyper-regenerative properties (Wolverine-esc) and Hemlock has been experimenting for a while on how to take the genes from the Zillobeast and put them in dead clones to ‘bring them back’ basically. So Fives, Tup and Tech still die in this AU, they just get literally Frankensteined back to life. I really wanted to play with Hemlock’s ‘mad scientist’ aspect in this. Like, let’s exaggerate the man a lil, for fun.

So the CX troopers are being experimented on medically, being cyberneticlly enhanced, getting programmed and mind wiped. It’s messed up. I won’t get into now but I just really want the CX troopers to be this kinda horrific product of Hemlocks LITERAL human tinkering. Also just horror of (in Fives, Tup and Tech’s case) the fact that they weren’t even safe from Hemlock in death. I also think in this AU the CX troopers maybe die a few times earlier in season 3, but Hemlock just retrieves their bodies and revives them again. Like fixing a broken toy. 

I crave more Hemlock horror lol

But anyways, basically this comic is basically the kick off point of my CX-2/Tech AU. Mostly everything up until the Teth Base raid is the same to canon (from The Batch’s perspective at least). But in this comic we see CX-2 (Tech) get sent to terminate CX-1 (Cody) and retrieve Omega (I just don’t mention it in this comic for succinctness sake). I switched up some events here. CX-2 doesn’t blow up the base, instead Wolffe is sent to destroy the base and doesn’t know about the mission to get Omega, just knows they’re trying to wipe out rebels and a CX-1. So CX-2/Tech shows up to complete this mission. But sees CX-1’s face for the first time and gets some flashes of memories of Cody (I’m headcanoning that Cody knew The Batch when they were cadets so Tech specifically has some deeper rooted memories of Cody). It definitely freaks Tech out and he ends up not being able to terminate Cody, instead he disobeys orders and ends up dragging Cody back out to be taken back to Hemlock.

Oh! Also since Cody is CX-1 and gets captured by Rex and crew, you know the angst on Rex’s side is OFF THE CHARTS. The whole interaction scene with CX-1 is way more wild in this AU because Rex KNOWS Cody, Cody is HIS big brother. Rex just basically is WAY MORE invested in this AU because it’s no longer just ‘A Brother’, it’s ‘HIS Brother’.

From here the AU spirals, I won’t get into details but basically the CX-2/Tech AU is just Tech having more and more memories return, and he started to, behind the scenes, move ‘the chess pieces’ to try to tear down Hemlock. He starts talking to and changing Emerie’s mind and they start to work together. He starts to sneak to talk to Wolffe to get him to change is mind and get in contact with Rex (in this AU I kinda share Scorch’s role between him and Wolffe bcs I want Wolffe to be more involved in this, and also Scorch does nothing in the show anyways lol). Then he starts trying to slowly jog the memories of the other CX troopers and slowly erode their programming and mind wipes. But everything’s not so simple because they are all getting regular mind wipes from Hemlock, so Tech’s progress with the others is often erased. And along with that, the mind wipes still affect Tech. He still relapses back to ‘CX-2 mode’. So there are good chunks of time where Tech will not be ‘pretending to be CX-2’ and actually be CX-2. Though because of his defective nature/quick mind he’s able to remember things on his own more and more after the mind wipes, and he gets quicker and better at it as time goes on. Though it is affect him really badly. The constant whiplash of having his memories wiped then literally forcing his brain to drag his own consciousness back is definitely having negative physical and mental effects. But basically he starts to, with the help of Emerie and Wolffe (and sometimes the other CX troopers), prepare to escape and have the base ready for when Rex and crew show up. 

But yeah I have so many fun idea for this AU. I just thought the Tech/CX-2 theory was so fun and wanted to do my own take. I also just think Tech’s character as ‘the smart one’ would lend well to this set up of him trying to quietly maneuver everyone around him to make the best scenario for either Rex and crew save them, or to stage their own revolt.  I also just want Emerie and Wolffe to play more a part? I felt like both did not get the screen time or relevance they deserved, so they are part of Tech’s slow, secret revolt lol. Plus we deserved to see Wolffe leave the Empire and join Rex. Also Cody, Kix, Fives and Tup are very there and present in the story, I just didn’t talk about them a ton bcs Tech finds out pretty quickly that any help or progress he gets from them is short lived thanks to the mind wipes (they can’t as easily jump back from them like Tech), and in general they are more a mess than Tech during this time. Even when they do remember things their mind can’t process as fast as Tech’s enhanced brain can so they kinda just are mentally out of it or fucked up (which to be fair they deserve to be, and Tech would probably be the same but this entire AU is Tech being is Hustle Mode^TM)

AAAAAAAAAAA this is so cute! I love people making daemons for their OCs! Eeek! AND A SNAKE AAA I LOVE SNAKES.

I’m so glad you like my AU! Imma have to make some art of my Clone OCs with their daemons in this AU too!

Okay I have been obsessed with @m00ntunaart’s Daemon AU and so I drew what I thought my oc Mira’s Daemon would be (an eyelash viper?? I forgot the name) and since Hunter is her man I drew their Daemon’s hanging together!

[m00ntunaart]

Y’all don’t know how many unhinged starwars AUs rattled around my half empty brain. There is no braincells left, just AUs.

[m00ntunaart]

Omg I love your Daemon AU so much!! Could I make fan content for it? (Fanart, my OCs in this au?)

Can’t wait to see more!

Yes of course! I would appreciate if maybe you tagged me as inspiration? But either way I would love if whatever you make you send my way to I can see! I love daemon AU stuff (clearly)!

ALSO TO ANYONE AT ALL:

Anyone is free to use my AU lore, draw stuff from it, write stuff from it, make your own version of it, or in general use it in your own way.

If you could maybe tag me as inspiration I would love that so I can see what stuff you make. Or just in general if you make any Starwars/daemon content feel free to send it to me! I would love to see it or see what other people's versions of this AU would be!

This is me just blatantly saying if you make any starwars daemon stuff (inspired from my AU or your own original take) | WILL go feral (positive).

[m00ntunaart]

More lore dump from my Starwars/Daemon AU! This time for Anakin, Obi-Wan, Ahsoka and a little of the Command Batch!

[m00ntunaart]

I Just realized I should just post the lore dumps instead of reblogging the original posts with them.

So here’s some of the plot related stuff/thoughts I have for my Starwars/Daemon AU in relation to The Bad Batch!

[m00ntunaart]

My Instagram followers have spoken. The fate of the next Starwars/daemon AU post has been decided.

I will be working from the most requested characters and work my way down. I will definitely not get to all of them in my next post but I’ll try to get to as many as I can as I post more (because I will definitely be posting more, I love this AU with all my heart).

[m00ntunaart]

Space Cowboys my beloved

You cannot tell me this wasn't basically The Mandolorian s2 ep 1.

Fandom Friday, 10/18: Fanart

Hello again, everyone…and welcome to another installment of Fandom Friday, the two-post series where I go off to find new and interesting fanworks that might need a bit more visibility.

Before we get started, I just wanted to mention that yes, this was only made possible because I had some saved links left over from previous Star Wars art weeks. So, thanks to the great efforts of several artists past and present, I was therefore able to make one more before a two-week break that begins this Friday afternoon.

And now, without further delay, here are my picks of the week.

THE ACOLYTE

The Acolyte Fanart--By @celestialsmessy1:

THE PREQUELS

The Prequels Fanart--By @eightbitpale:

THE CLONE WARS

The Clone Wars Fanart--By @chedaar21:

The Clone Wars Fanart--By @st4r-t3ars:

THE BAD BATCH

The Bad Batch Fanart--By @kenosisofabrami:

The Bad Batch Fanart--By @daddymandofs-blog:

STAR WARS REBELS

Star Wars Rebels Fanart--By @autumnwoodsdreamer:

Star Wars Rebels Fanart--By @celdani:

THE MANDALORIAN

The Mandalorian Fanart--By @m00ntunaart:

The Mandalorian Fanart--By @mythosaursarecool:

In conclusion, as part of my mission to poke around the Star Wars fandom and, on Friday every two weeks, highlight those artists who might otherwise go unnoticed…I hope you will check out the links I have included for yourselves and like, comment on, and reblog them, as well as also giving the artists a few more followers to their Tumblr pages.

Please also like and reblog this latest installment so that these links can be spread around to as many other fans as possible, just in case not all of them can tune in at the same time.

An additional thank you goes to @djarrex for making the divider I used earlier in this post, but still want to give credit for.

And finally, so that I do not forget…this post will be continued in its second half: the Fanfiction Edition.

Thank you, good afternoon, and I’ll see you in the next post!

More of my thoughts on the disaster lineage in this AU! Along with some tid bits on the clones and their millions of dogs lol.

2nd STARWARS/DAEMON AU POST!!!!! This time with the CC's and the Disaster Lineage!

Obi-Wan: Maned Wolf (Kee-Ayt)

Anakin: Lion (maned female lioness) (Asieko)

Ahsoka: Gryfalcon (Tuex)

Cody: German Shepherd (Beskar)

Rex: Siberian Husky (Queen)

Wolffe: Wolfdog (Whitefang)

Fox: Doberman Pinscher (Vulpe)

Bly: American Akita (Lyra)

LORE TIME: first off! Jedi! So I thought a lot about how daemons and Jedi should work. I did end up deciding that Jedi GENERALLY have bird daemons (like the witches in His Dark Material), BUT not always. The Jedi having bird daemons is not a ‘All Force Sensitives Have Daemons Who Settle As Birds’ thing. It wouldn’t make sense in this AU since Force-sensitivity is a spectrum and at what level would someone have ‘enough’ force-sensitivity to have a daemon for certain become a bird? I didn’t like that narrative as much, it felt restrictive. So instead Jedi tend to have bird daemons, but not Force-Sensitives. Like all Jedi are force sensitive ( and have bird daemons) but not all Force-Sensitives are Jedi, make sense? This is because of how the Jedi raise children and teach them to interact with the force. Because of how Jedi are taught to view and use the force, their daemons tend to settle as birds! It’s ‘nurture’ over ‘nature’ thing. Which is why (in this AU at least) the Jedi don’t take in older children to train. Because they’ve already probably learned their own way to interact with the force (different from the Jedi teachings) and therefore will have a non-bird daemon! Hence Anakin having a lion daemon. “But what about Obi-Wan?” (Well since Obi-Wan is one of my favorites I get to spice him up lol). He was originally very Jedi like (daemon wise) but after the whole Jedi Apprentice/Xanantos enslaving him/Melida-Daan war thing, he daemon ended up settling as a Maned Wolf! I imagine he was just about the age where his daemon would settle (usually 13-15, which is the same reason this is the age Jedi initiates are made padawans), so it was a surprise that his daemon so abruptly changed and settled. Most likely the effects of being so abruptly exposed to violence and war right out of being only use to the peace of the Jedi temple his whole life. 

(Extra) The 3rd page of the post! Cody and Obi-Wan’s daemons! Beskar and Kee-Ayt! Even though in my doodles Beskar seems to be very grumpy and even hatful towards Kee-Ayt, DO NOT BE FOOLED. Beskar adores Kee-Ayt. Their relationship just mirrors how I headcanon Cody’s and Obi-Wan’s. Where they will harass and bitch at each other to hell and back. Sounding from the outsider’s POV like two people who hate each other. When in reality these two are joined at the hip and love each other. They just will never admit it because “we have reputations to uphold!’ (Anakin says “what reputation? the reputation that one of you would murder the other if it wasn’t for the fact the GAR would court marshal the other?”) But yeah, Beskar makes fun of Kee-Ayt’s long ass legs. The mini ‘comic’ is about how I imagine that since all the Clones’ daemons are dogs/canines, when they win a battles they have a ‘Victory Call’ where they all howl. Beskar offers for Kee-Ayt to join in, but Maned Wolves can’t howl. They do this thing called a Roar-Bark (look up a video it’s so loud). This is the first time Beskar hears Kee-Ayt roar-bark and it scared the shit out of her.

(Extra Extra) The 4th page of the post! This is mostly doodles of Rex, Anakin and Ashoka’s daemons (Queen, Asieko and Tuex). All three reflect the close relationship that Rex, Anakin and Ahsoka have. Hence Tuex nesting on Queen and Asieko trying to groom Queen (who doesn’t appreciate the rough lion tongue bath she’s getting). (In fact Asieko tries to groom Tuex and Kee-Ayt too, but Tuex is too small and Kee-Ayt just starts biting Asieko bcs she doesn’t appreciate the bath either lol). We also have Tuex dive bombing Asieko (a common occurrence whenever Anakin and Ahsoka bicker). Tuex also does this to literally anyone who slightly annoys him or Ahsoka. And lastly the little doodle of Rex and Queen screaming! Idk if you’ve ever seen videos of Huskies, but oh boy are they loud and dramatic. I think with all the stress and insanity Rex has to deal with leading the 501st, he and Queen often have therapy screaming sessions. They deserve to. 

(ALSO, I will be making follow up reblogs with lore/plot stuff for each individual character)
