#Commander Nebula

[myrablurple]

THIS AU IS NOT DEAD. It just took me a bit between life stuff and other art projects and the fact I wanted to get all Star Command related drawings together.

I don't have a lot of lore to infodump other than exploring armor designs for Star Command rangers, especially for the more unique looking suits we saw in the show. As well as showing off the rank symbols on the armor so everyone knows what each one is which.

As usual, the oc roll call is:

Spectra belongs to @msmileena

Dr. Perihelion belongs to @/ghostmeister

Cass belongs to @silentspacenstuff

Delta belongs to @pumpkin-fr0g

Lunar belongs to @forlovewithyou

Carpper belongs to @greyskullz

Andddd Sinatta belongs to @stinkybott

Bottom: All three Parsec-Furbanna siblings are gathered around Sam's laptop, watching a video. Feel free to guess what the video's about; my guess is that it's about ducks.

Not All Energy Vampires Are Evil! (BLOSC Story)

[CW⚠️ EMOTIONAL ABUSE, CURSING, PAST TRAUMA]

[Characters/OCs: BLU-3-E9, Peaches, Cheryl[non-speaking], Lyra, Some unnamed members of Star Command, Commander Nebula, XR, Buzz Lightyear, Mira Nova and Booster]

[When everyone in Star Command sees BLU-E-39 using his energy on Lyra. They think he is killing her, this make the fact that they think he is evil like most energy vampires. But that stops when one of their youngest recruits Peaches comes to his defence]

[Cuts to the cyborg Lyra who is starting to recharge her arm's battery after fighting against the Hornets sent by Zurg]

[A blue coloured robotic vampire floats around the corridor, but then he stops and spies on Lyra. This makes him feel sorry for her. He thinks to himself and then thoughts of something that can help her out]

BLU-E-39: [floats to her in her room] I see that your metal arm here is all powered down. May I... [unleashes electric bolts from his palm] use mine onto your battery... please

Lyra: Well... if it works I guess

BLU-E-39: Thanks [grabs Lyra's battery and uses his energy on it]

[Three unnamed members of Star Command along with Peaches are seen walking by, chatting with eachother. Right until they stopped and see BLU using his energy on Lyra's battery]

???: HEY! LEAVE LYRA ALONE YOU ENERGY SUCKING VERMIN!!!

[One of the members shoots their laser at his shoulder, causing BLU to drop Lyra's battery out of his claw like hands. BLU holds his shoulder while groaning in pain]

BLU-E-39: Wait no! You don't understand please people. I'm trying to help this poor cyborg because her arm doesn't look right

???: Yeah, well that doesn't give you the right to use her f##king battery just so you can drain it all out for your appetite right

Peaches: Now now guys, I think he might be-

???: [to Peaches] Don't worry Peaches, we'll talk about this later

???: [to BLU-E-39] but now you ungrateful pain in the bolt! Your like those energy beasts, just using any of our robotic allies for your f##king appetite

Peaches: Guys don't...

BLU-E-39: But I always wanted to help anyone, not harm them, or even get them hurt. Honest

???: That doesn't stop us beast

Peaches: [irritated] Guys... stop it

[When one of the members angrily yells at the vampire who is panicking from this. Peaches starts becoming angry from this]

Peaches: [angrily] ENOUGH!!! [Runs overs to him, with her hands raised in the same way]

???: Peaches?!

???: What the- what are you doing Peach?! Get away from that beast?!

Peaches: He is not a beast! From what I see in him... is a change of heart. He wanted to have a new start in life, and... forget all the bad stuff he has done.

???: Peach please can we not go over this again-

Lyra: She's right

???: Huh?! Wait! Lyra!

Lyra: As I see from this guy right here, he used his own energy to charge my own battery. So what i see in that on him, is of him being helpful and generous to share his energy, in order to recharge myself up.

Lyra: He may look like those robot predators, but he is mostly not like them with their tastes in their energy. He wanted to use his energy for the universe and the people

[Scene cuts to Peaches, Lyra and Commander Nebula discussing about what to do with BLU's redemption]

Nebula: So your telling me that "non evil" energy vampire is turning good now

Peaches: Yes Commander! I have proven that he recharged Lyra's arm battery with his own energy. Plus he isn't like that menace NOS-4-A2. He just wants a new start in his own life Sir.

Lyra: I would agree with Peaches, It could've been better if we gave him a chance

[Nebula thinks about it and sighs]

Nebula: Well Peach. Since we do recognise you having an interest of interacting with robots, I would require you to mentor the energy vampire about redeeming

Peaches: [nods] Yes yes! Absolutely Commander! [salutes]

[Then it cuts to Peaches with a list saying "3 Easy Steps to Become A Better Person" along with BLU-E-39]

Peaches: Right BLU! Commander Nebula put me with you in order to get you redeemed. You ready for it?

BLU-E-39: Uhh y-yes Peaches [nods]

Peaches: Good! So Step 1 is... forgiveness

BLU-E-39: For-given-ess?

Peaches: Yep! It's like an apology, when you did something wrong, all you have to do is say "Sorry" to them. And then they'll forgive you for that

BLU-E-39: Ok?

Peaches: [points to a member of Star Command] See him over here, try go over to him and apologise for all the wrongdoings you did

BLU-E-39: Ok?

[BLU-E-39 floats over to a Star Command member]

BLU-E-39: Hello?

???: [sees BLU-E-39] AAH! ENERGY VAMPIRE! [Aims his laser arm at him] STAY BACK!

BLU-E-39: No wait! Please! I want to apologise to you!

???: Huh?

BLU-E-39: I'm sorry for what I started to become at first. And I am sorry for... trying to kill all of your robot friends

???: [sighs as he takes BLU's robotic hand and shakes it gently]

BLU-E-39: [surprised by this] Does this mean you... you...

???: Yeah, I'll forgive you... BLU. And I'm sorry for... all the abuse your going through against the others.

BLU-E-39: It's alright friend

???: Nice talking to you, [walks foward] See ya BLU boy

[As the member leaves, Peaches goes over to BLU]

Peaches: (happy) Good one BLU! You've now seek forgiveness on someone

Peaches: Ok, Step 2: Generosity! A kind act of sharing your stuff with anyone. Let's say you got these 2 batteries here [gives him two batteries] and then...

Peaches: [whispers] How about try giving that battery to XR over here!

BLU-E-39: Uhh ok

[BLU-E-39 floats over to XR]

BLU-E-39: XR?

[When the little robot sees him, he gets startled]

XR: BLU-3-E9?! I know what are you gonna do! Drain up all of our robot teammates and then- huh!

[Shown in his claw like hand are two batteries]

BLU-E-39: [gives XR a battery] Here! I think you might need some battery filled energy, in case you feeling... out of energy

XR: Oh... [silent a bit] thanks BLU

BLU-E-39: Your welcome, XR

[XR rolls off to leave the area, Peaches goes over to him]

Peaches: Way to go! Generosity is done [writes a check mark on her notepad]

Peaches: And finally is Step 3: Honesty!

BLU-E-39: What's that mean

Peaches: Telling the truth! I think we might need to have you tell about this badge your wearing now, if I bring these guys around that area here

BLU-E-39: Hmm, ok

Peaches: Great! Let's do this

[Scene cuts to a chamber with Peaches, Buzz, Mira, Booster, XR, Nebula, BLU and some of the space rangers]

[BLU starts to a bit anxious and looks at Peaches]

Peaches: [whispers] You got this! Remember, use honesty to tell the truth!

BLU-E-39: [clears his throat] [takes off his badge and shows it to everyone, the badge reveals a symbol of Zurg]

BLU-E-39: Members of Star Command! For you see this badge that I am wearing mostly. I used to be a creation for the Evil Emperor Zurg of Planet Z as a plan to unleash a massive group of energy vampires across Trade World.

???: [quietly] This happened a while ago!

BLU-E-39: I was one of them of course, attacking many innocent robot residents. But then I see a family robots, a mother and her child. They were losing a lot of energy. So I had decided to do what energy vampires aren't able to do. I used many of my energy to recharge the small child. But that... led to my mighty betrayal. Since the dreaded leader of them; NOS-4-A2 knew what I did. And while he was attacking me, he attempted to steal my own energy!

[Everyone was astounded when BLU is still talking about was his past]

BLU-E-39: But then, there was one person. One person! Who found me... and showed their kindness to me!

BLU-E-39: But now being called a "a miserable failure" by the Emperor! I am now officially done [his electric bolts electrocuted the badge which it begins to break and shatter into many small pieces] being such an outcast to the entire race and i... [oil began to come out of his eye] I just want a new start in life!

[As BLU rubs the oil tears out of his eye, Peaches comes over and hugs him]

[Nebula goes over and faces to everyone except for Peaches and BLU]

Nebula: Since I let Peaches help BLU-E-39 out on how to become a better member! [To Peaches] Did he succeed it?

Peaches: Yep! Did all three Sir!

Nebula: Excellent!

Nebula: And I made myself clear! That BLU-E-39 here! Will be now recruited [grabs BLU's hand and raises it up] as the Star Command's Electrician

[Everyone agrees in response]

Nebula: [To Buzz] What do you think Lightyear?

Buzz: [nods in agreement] Affirmative Sir!

Nebula: Then it's settled now!

[As everyone leaves the chamber except for the main four, Peaches and BLU]

BLU-E-39: So... did I

Peaches: Yeah you have BLU [laughs in joy] You finally made it!!! Your now in Star Command!!!

BLU-E-39: I have?! [Smiles and hugs Peaches] Thank you! Thank you very much for... what you made me become right now!

[Peaches hugs him back and the main four watch them]

Mira: Now... there is a chance that he might need his suit upgraded!

Booster: And uh, your... wings might need upgrading too! But we need to ask, are your wings still working?

BLU-E-39: Well, not really since I got attacked by NOS

XR: And your monocle, does it work too?

BLU-E-39: [nods in response] Still dead

Buzz: Right so we gotta send him over to the LGMs to get his monocle and his wings all charged, we'll give them his suit and there his new self will be ready to go!

Buzz: [To Peaches] And Peaches! [Headpats her] Thank you for the most greatest thing you ever done for the guy

THE END!

BLOSC Acacia's Adventures The First Chapter: Chapter 4

(Flashback)

On the day on Elementary School, Amber Smith (AKA Acacia's Mom) quickly go speed walking in the hallway and saw a random kid got blood on the head in the nurse's office passing by. When she pass by the nurse's office she went to the principal's office.

Principal: oh good your here.

Amber saw Acacia with her hair messed up, crying, and hugging her sketchbook tightly.

Amber: has Acacia done something wrong?

Principal: your daughter has hit one of the students with her lunch box.

Amber: she did what?

She looked at Acacia and she didn't say a word or looked at her mother.

Amber: is there a reason why she did it?

Principal: well we talk to some other kids who's the witness of this mess. And they said that this kid who's been snatching her sketchbook that she's been drawing in the middle of lunch.

Amber looks at Acacia again, and still notice she's hugging her sketchbook very tightly.

Principal: I think it's best if your daughter will be suspended for the week. You and your daughter can go now Mrs Smith, I hope you'll help her for the week.

Amber went to Acacia reached in to Acacia hand and slowly hold on to it. When they walked through the hallway Acacia saw the the injured student 's parents yelling at the nurse and saying horrible things to Acacia. Her eyes wided and Burst into tears when her eyes turn red and fade to hazel.

(Flashback ended)

Star command

Acacia got zoned out and think of memories that she remembered. She blinked a few times and look around, she didn't remember how she got in star command. But she did remember that she was saved by Buzz Lightyear and his Space Ranger team. She looked around and noticed she's rapped around a blanket, sitting down. She saw Buzz Lightyear talking to his Commander, she looked down for a minute thinking, closing her hazel eyes, and open to red eyes! Acacia got up, still had the blanket wrapped around her, and walk towards Buzz and the Commander.

Acacia: Mr Lightyear? I wanted you to thank you for saving me from Zurg, but........ I want you to take me back.........

Buzz got shocked of what she says and look at the Commander silent.

After several minutes Acacia's in the Star Command medical bay sitting on a examining table. She waited for a minute and notice a doctor shows up.

Dr Mercury: hello miss Smith I am Dr Mercury and I'll be your doctor in star command for a while.

Acacia: I didn't ask Mr Lightyear to take me to a doctor! I ask him to take me back to Zurg.

Dr Mercury: I know, Mr Lightyear just told me about it before I came in. He just wanted to make sure your ok first.

Acacia got silent, and confused.

Dr Mercury: now, let start with your systems.

She use the ear temperature to put in Acacia's ear. When it got beeped she checked the number temperature.

Dr Mercury: hmmm, no fever, that's good.

She use the stethoscope to check her heartbeat. When she listens, her heart rate is normal. She puts the stethoscope away and get the blood pressure monitor. She put it on Acacia's arm, and pushed the thing to make it squeeze her arm. When she stops, she removes it.

Dr Mercury: blood pressure, normal, that's good as well. But there is a question, has your eyes always red?

Acacia: what? No! My eyes are hazel, it's always been.

Dr Mercury: hmm, I don't think you look carefully in the mirror.

She pulls her makeup mirror out of her pocket, opened it, and shows it to her. Acacia got surprised!

Acacia: I don't get it? I never had red eyes in my entire life!

Dr Mercury: I believe you, but I'm afraid I should check the X-ray. Now take your suit off and wear this gown.

Acacia listen to her and takes off the uniform. And Dr Mercury notice the claw marks on her arms and the handprint bruise on her wrist! Her eyes wided with horror and took a deep breath.

Dr Mercury: alright! Let's go.

They Went to the X-ray, Acacia lay down, and Dr Mercury uses the controls of the X-ray. When she uses it, the machine moves, and scan her whole body. When they're finished, Dr Mercury told Acacia to get in bed to have some rest, so she did.

Dr Mercury got out the medical bay and found Buzz Lightyear and his team waiting.

Buzz Lightyear: how is she? Is she anything controlling?

Dr Mercury: don't worry! Miss Smith is looks healthy and there is not trackers or control chips inside, but...........

Booster: what? What's wrong with Acacia.

Dr Mercury: I'm afraid that Miss Smith has what we call, Stockholm Syndrome.

Buzz, Booster, and Mira got shocked!

XR: Stockholm Syndrome?

Mira: It means she's falling in love with someone who is her kidnapper.

Booster: but I don't get it? Why would she have that?

Dr Mercury: it just happens whenever someone like her gets kidnapped. It's an unhealthy thing.

Buzz Lightyear: is there a way to get her Stockholm Syndrome out of here?

Dr Mercury: there is! I have an old friend who had Stockholm Syndrome, but she didn't have that until at the age of 15.

Dr Mercury pulls the card out of her pocket, and hand it to Buzz.

Dr Mercury: here's her card. Give it to Miss Smith until we figure out what to do. And there is something else I haven't showed Miss Smith yet. I need Buzz Lightyear and Commander Nebula to the briefing room immediately.

Buzz Lightyear: alright! You three keep and eye on Acacia. Make sure she hasn't done anything, and try cheering her up.

As Buzz and Dr Mercury left, the three rookies went in the bay and say Acacia laying in bed. Acacia notice them here and sat up.

Acacia: Booster?

Booster: I see you remember me.

Acacia: I've seen you come to my job every month.

Booster: I know, I just wanted to be sure. You remember my friends, Mira and XR right?

Acacia: XR maybe, Mira yes. Didn't you accidentally hit through the door when you got distracted by something?

Mira turned red or embarrassment!

Mira: I tried not too.

Booster: Buzz just wanted us to keep an eye on you so you wouldn't do anything bad.

Acacia: why would he think that?

XR: because this Dr Mercury told us you have Stockholm Syndrome.

Mira: XR SHUT UP!!!

Acacia: Stockholm Syndrome?

XR: yeah! Stockholm Syndrome. It means you have fa-

Booster tries to cover XR so he wouldn't say anything!

Booster: I'm sorry. What XR is saying is--

Acacia: oh no. I know what Stockholm Syndrome is, and I shouldn't be surprised..... The way I ask Buzz Lightyear like that, is a type of sign.

Booster: hey, don't worry about it. Buzz will figure out what to do and stop Zurg once and for all.

Briefing Room

Dr Mercury: so this, is a typical human skeleton I had scanned a few months back. And this is her chart, definitely a human skeleton but her bones has something on that looks like red roots rapped around her entire skull and bones. And it looks like it's been growing very slowly, maybe that could be the reason her eyes have been red right now.

The Commander try not to say anything but got himself sweating, shaking and his hands turned to a fist.

Buzz Lightyear: that's bad? Right?

Dr Mercury: well, it doesn't look like this Zurg is responsible for this. It seems to me that she gets that to one of her family that she's probably born with it like they have. Mr Lightyear, have you told someone at her work that she has a parent or a legal guardian?

Buzz Lightyear: yes I do! She has parents name Amber and Eliot Smith. Do you want to call them for questions?

Dr Mercury: yes, but not yet you should find a hiding place for Miss Smith so Zurg might not find her.

Medical Bay

Acacia and Team Lightyear have been hanging out for a while. But then Buzz Lightyear showed up.

Mira: Buzz! What did Dr Mercury say?

Buzz Lightyear: no time for that Mira, we need to Acacia out of here, Star Command is to risky to stay here.

Booster: what do you mean? I thought this'll be safe for her.

Buzz Lightyear: you may think that, but Zurg thinks this'll be the first place he'll look. We need to find a place where he would not expect.

Mira: well I can't take her to Tangea, my father would not like that. 

XR: Rhizome would be fitting for her, but Zurg would know there's no weapons in this planet.

Mira: what about Tradeworld?

Buzz Lightyear: no, there could be backstabbers somewhere.

Buzz and his team kept thinking, and booster thought of an idea.

Booster: I know a place where she can stay for a while!

Acacia looked at booster confused.

Jo-Ad 

Booster uses the Star Command shuttle to bring Acacia with him to his home planet called Jo-Ad. Before they went for a landing Acacia looked at the side window and looked at this land that looks like a farm, a village, and a big field. The Star Command shuttle has finally landed.

Booster: wait here Acacia, I'll be right back.

Booster got out of the shuttle, rush to his old house, and knock on the door. Acacia lean back to the chair waited patiently, until she notice another Jo-Adian is using a tractor on the field. He looks almost like Booster but he's orange, not red. 

When the orange Jo-Adian is busy driving the tractor, he caught his eye on Acacia. But little did he not know, there's a rock in a middle of the field! The tractor got tripped by the big rock and the orange Jo-Adian falls off the tractor! Acacia got shocked and got out of the shuttle and run to him.

Acacia: oh my gosh are you ok?

Orange Jo-Adian: yeah it's my fault, I didn't even see it there.

Acacia: no it's my fault! I got you distracted.

Acacia helps the orange Jo-Adian, and Booster and his parents notice them and ran to them.

Booster: Buster! Are you okay?

Buster: yeah! Don't worry about me. I notice you brought a new friend with you?

Booster: Acacia this is my oldest friend Buster, and these two are my parents. Everyone, this is Acacia Smith.

Mrs Munchapper: well it's nice to meet ya Miss Acacia, Boosty has told us about you. And you look prettier then I imagine.

Acacia: ummm thanks

Mr Munchapper: so, Booster? What was it that you were gonna say?

Booster: oh yeah! Maybe we should talk inside.

While they were inside of Booster's old house. Acacia's sitting on a big couch and eating some Bunzel Dumplings, and Booster, his old friend, and his parents are in a middle of a conversation on the other room.

Mrs Munchapper: oh my! That is awful! No wonder I notice a bruise on her wrist. 

Mr Munchapper: and I can't believe a monster like Zurg would do something terrible to an innocent person like Acacia.

Buster: is that you you bring her here?

Booster: yeah, this is all I can think of. I mean I could take her to Roswell, but I don't think Acacia's ready to know about those guys yet, even Becky.

Mrs Munchapper: oh we understand Boosty. We have the best hiding place for her in this house, and she is welcome to stay at our home.

Buster looks at Acacia, and notice she had a sad look.

Booster: thanks you guys! I better get back to Star Command, I gotta let Buzz know. And I'll call you tomorrow to check on ya to see how's she's doing.

Later that night

Buster left to go to his home. And Mrs Munchapper setting up the big couch as a bed for her.

Mrs Munchapper: it's not much, but I hope you'll be comfortable.

Acacia smiled

Acacia: I will ma'am! And thank you for letting me stay here.

Mrs Munchapper: oh sure, it's not a problem. I will see ya in the morning.

As Mrs Munchapper shut the lights out, and left. Acacia's smiles faded out, and lay down with a sigh. She looked at the ceiling and thinking about the red sky. She hates to think that she misses it.

And she misses him too.......

I know we're supposed to take Commander Nebula in "Buzz Lightyear of Star Command" seriously, but looking back at this hidden gem, these two instances of him angrily shouting in the movie pilot, "The Adventure Begins" had me burst out as a kid (and I still own the VHS for that film to this day, I might add). But that's not to say those were the only two instances in the film that made me laugh hysterically. From what I remember, I also recall laughing at the part when the chicken pops out of XR as the Little Green Men attempt to fix him. Other than that, that's all I can remember.

Chandra, named in honor of the late Indian American astrophysicist Subrahmanyan Chandrasekhar, launched to space aboard the space shuttle Columbia on 23 July 1999.

The crew, including STS-93 Commander Eileen Collins, deployed the telescope into its oval-shaped orbit, which takes Chandra on a path around Earth that is nearly one-third of the distance to the moon.

So far, Chandra has taken nearly 25,000 observations of the universe.

The telescope observes the cosmos through X-ray light, which is invisible to the human eye.

X-rays are released by some of the most energetic events and hottest objects in the universe, including exploded stars, material swirling around black holes, galactic collisions and even exoplanets.

Chandra plays a key role not only as an X-ray telescope but in providing data that pairs with observations from other telescopes.

Combined, all of those wavelengths of light provide a more complete picture that enables astronomers to solve the universe’s lingering mysteries.

"Mr. Nebula who likes raising birds"

Bird AU!

In Here, Star Command is a bird rescue center, and Nebula is a veteran who became a rescuer after his retirement, aiming to take in and care for various injured omnivorous birds.

Of course, half of the reason behind this is that he has a certain aura about him that attracts birds.（LOL

Also, last time someone asked me to draw a bird! NOS-4A2, so I tried it!

I made reference to a small bird that sucks blood in the real world (of course Nos does not suck blood🤣)

Because he and XR are both metal birds, they look very smooth....

Trans Clone Week 2024 Day 2: Trans Commander / Intimacy

Nebula doesn’t know why xy’s so nervous, but that doesn’t change the way xyr fingers curl around the datapad, until xyr fingertips leave little white marks on the screen where it bends a little too much. Is it possible to break it? Now that the thought’s crossed xyr mind, xy really doesn’t want to find out. 

Xy locks the screen, so the twins can’t get into it and submit any more unauthorised supply requests. And then xy leaves. Walks away from everything that needs to get done, and all the problems, and all the angry messages, and just… goes. 

There’s a small room on their ship that’s designated as a medbay. Jewel has worked wonders with the few supplies zhi’s allowed. And though none of them would ever say it to outsiders, the entire squad knows that zhi’s found a way to get zhir hands on a few things that certainly weren’t GAR issue. 

Lucky for xyr, zhi’s also still in the medbay. Zhi moves around a lot, lending a hand wherever the others need zhir. And sometimes called to handle some injury. For all that xy loves xyr squad, they’re sometimes a little prone to accidents. Xy worries about them. Well, xy worries about a lot of things. 

Don’t worry, captain, Star said when he was assigned to them. I won’t be trouble. 

It was the best news Nebula heard in three weeks. 

“Neb,” Jewel says, surprised. 

Zhi’s a nickname sort of girl, has one for each of them. And though xy’s usually not that fond of them – with zhir, it feels like being accepted. Xy needs that right now. 

The back of zhir hand presses against xyr forehead, and xy leans into it. It’s not the kind of touch xy came looking for, but right now, it’s good. It’s very good. 

“Tell me what you need,” zhi says quietly. The fingers of zhir other hand play at the strap of zhir medical bag. 

“Anything you can give me.” 

“Well, I guess I’ll clear my schedule.” 

Zhir fingers thread through xyrs, leading xyr across the room to the supply closet. It’s the smallest room on the ship, but there’s just enough room between the metal shelves for a cushion and a few blankets. 

What there isn’t room for, is two clones. 

“I wanted to stay with you,” xy says, and wonders if xy sounds as plaintive as xy feels. 

“I know.” 

Jewel crouches down, smoothing out the blankets a little, and sits down facing xyr. Zhi pulls the strap of zhir bag over zhir head, shoving it onto the shelf next to zhir. 

Xy understands in a moment. Xy kneels, shuffling around a little, trying not to bang xyr elbows or knees on the shelves around them. Being careful isn’t hard. Neither is settling between zhir thighs, one hand wrapping around the back of zhir shoulder, xyr other arm around zhir waist. 

A sigh escapes xyr when zhir hand slides up xyr back. Zhi’s not always gentle – xy promised xyrself to never cross zhir after xy saw zhir ream out Zenith for being reckless on the battlefield. But when zhi is, zhi’s the most comforting person in this entire quadrant. 

“I know you don’t want to talk about it. So just try to sleep. The spare sedatives are in that blue box.” 

Xy considers it. Zhi wouldn’t offer if they weren’t easily spared. But they also leave xyr head foggy, and with the standoff on the planet below them growing tenser by the hour… Xy can’t risk it. Not deploying with xyr squad is unthinkable. Especially with the new soldiers, the twins, too young to be deployed off Kamino but sent here all the same. 

Jewel starts humming, zhir fingers slowly working through xyr hair, gently undoing any tangles zhi comes across. It wouldn’t be the first time that zhi told xyr to take better care of xyrself. 

Instead, zhi says nothing. Instead, zhi stays and holds xyr close. 

When they’re deployed to the surface, it’ll be bad. There’s a good chance they’ll lose someone, and the regular troops – they’ll take heavy losses like they always do. 

But when Jewel says that everything will be okay, that they can stay here as long as they want, with nothing to bother them… 

Nebula can believe that for at least a little while. 

“I corrected someone,” xy says after nearly twenty minutes of silence. “About my pronouns. And I think it’s just – getting to me, for some reason.” 

“Could do what I do.” 

Xy hums under xyr breath. It’s something xy’s thought about. Around other clones, other strangers – Jewel says zhir pronouns are she/her. Got tired of explaining and correcting pronunciation, zhi said. Xy doesn’t blame zhir. In fact, it’s only in the past year that xy’s started correcting anyone, even the others in xyr squad. They always did their best. Nebula’s never had reason to doubt that, on or off the battlefield. But being so open about this part of xyrself was always a little… Scary. 

“I just wish everything could change and everyone would just know,” xy admits. “That I wouldn’t have to say it.” 

That would make things easier for xyr. And for everyone else, right? Knowing who xy is? What xy is? Clones are all right with things like this. Xy’s met half a dozen women and just as many clones outside the binary entirely. And that’s just the ones that told xyr who they were. The ones who were brave. 

Nebula has never felt particularly brave, about this or anything else. And yet xy’s a captain. Leader of a squad of – whatever the Kaminoans call them. They can never seem to agree on that, beyond the designation of Clone Force M. 

Jewel’s head tilts to the side, zhir cheek pressing against the top of xyr hair. 

“It’ll be okay.” 

When zhi says it like zhi believes it, part of xyr does too. Just not all of xyr. 

Somehow, though, xy falls asleep in zhir lap, zhir arms around xyr. 

Xy wakes up to the glow of a datapad screen. 

“You workin’ on somethin’?” xy mumbles, stirring faintly. 

“Something,” zhi agrees. Before xy can get a good look at it, zhi pushes the button on the side, darkening the screen before zhi slides it into a pouch on the side of zhir bag. “Let’s get up.” 

Yeah, xy’s surprised that zhi didn’t move already. But zhi really is the jewel of their squad, even though that’s not how zhi got zhir name. 

Nebula stretches and then gives zhir a hand up. Zhi grins at xyr, which isn’t all that unusual, but then zhi grabs xyr hand and leads xyr across the medbay to the small printer. It’s only supposed to be for official uses, but that’s not always how it works. 

And xy doesn’t at all recognise the small plastoid disc that zhi holds out to xyr. Xy examines the back for a moment. Some kind of pin backing, it looks like. And on the other side… 

CC NEBULA

XY/XYR/XYRS

“Thought it might help,” Jewel said. “For people who don’t know. So you don’t have to say.” 

Nebula nods mutely, only able to stare at it for a moment. Finally, xy’s able to shift xyr attention, and kisses xyr forehead. 

“Thank you,” xy says softly, and pins it over the front of xyr left shoulder. 

“Captain Nebula,” zhi says with a nod of zhir head. 

“Medical Officer Jewel,” xy replies, and smiles, and squeezes zhir hand, before xy goes to show the pin to the others.

Long hcs edition

-Kirby basically threatened Daroach to get him to join the Star Allies, is the only Star Ally that he has had to beg him to join; not even DMK or Marx gave him that much hassle.

-Dark Mind created Dark Taranza as a sort of replacement for Taranza once he managed to bring Sectonia into his world. But now that Sectonia is burning in hell™ he's stuck with an annoying and mean version of Taranza.

-There's a running gag on Commander Doo's army in which all the Dees and some of the Doos just seem to be getting younger and younger to the point there's literal babies being trained to serve and protect the king.

-When the animal friends separated, Gooey blamed himself for the longest time. He thought that if he endured more of Chuchu's verbal abuse none of it would've happened. Eventually accepting it wasn't his fault and the Chuchu needed to change.

-Meta Knight didn't like Dedede up until Mass Attack. He considered DDD to be a huge fool not apt for ruling. MK even tried to overthrow him once (hence the events of Revenge of Meta Knight). They eventually made ammends and now they have a good friendship.

-Sword, Blade and MK didn't work for Dedede until the end of the anime. They just hanged around the castle because nobody cared enough to stop them. One day, Escargoon snapped and hired them in a fit of anger under the premise of "If they are going to be fucking around they better be useful".

-The reason why Dedede and Meta Knight knew about Dark Nebula being enclosed in the chest is because many, many years ago, even BEFORE Dedede was born, Dark Nebula attempted an invasion towards the kingdom, but was promptly stopped by the then King and Queen and enclosed in a chest that had an extra magic seal. The King and the Queen told Dedede, DDD told Meta Knight about what the chest contained and the rest is history...

-During their conquer on Ripple Star. Miracle Matter and Zero Two alike, tortured and eliminated a lot of fairies and other inhabitants, specially Miracle Matter since Zero Two was busy building Dark Star. The number of fairies gone due to them is largely unknown, not even Miracle Matter and Zero Two are sure of the numbers.

-Regarding the last sentence, Zero Two is even more unsure than Miracle Matter in matters of figures, since he wasn't there all the time, but he's sure that they wiped quite a bunch of fairies, at least 1/8th of the population but as both of them are not sure, they leave it at an open question.

-Usually the three mage sisters are pretty close to each other. After the whole ordeal with Hyness and Void; Zan, Fran and Flame were given a third chance to live, Fran and Flame had been wanting to re-do their lives away from the cult. Zan on the other hand, is more reluctant to leave, and this has caused friction among them. So while the other two still love Zan, they had to take distance if they want to actually get to their freedom.

-Dark Matter (the element) has always been there ever since the creation of the known universe, but didn't have anyone who can personify it for billions of years. Zero basically created himself by sheer force of will, and boy did it take him a while... Considering how big he is and that basically he created himself by himself is no surprise how in spite of Dark Matter's long-living presence he is not as old as his own element.

-After their respective game events, Taranza and Susie went to live in Dreamland to reconsider some stuff and begin a new life. Both were deeply depressed. Taranza was the first one in approaching Susie and so they eventually took solace in each other's presences until they got better.

-Puffballs (or Puffs as in human form) come in several types of them: Puffballs with copy abilities (no horns nor wings), Puffballs with copy abilities (horns but no wings and viceversa), Puffaballs with copy abilities (Wings and horns), Puffballs without copy abilities (horns but no wings and viceversa), Puffballs without copy abilities (with horns and wings) and lastly, Puffballs with absolutely nothing "special" on them (no copy abilities, no horns nor wings).

-Regarding the last hc, all of these puffs have varying degress of rarity: Puffs with copy abilities (no horns nor wings): VERY COMMON. Puffs with copy abilities (horns but no wings and viceversa): UNCOMMON (horns no wings) COMMON (wings no horns). Puffs with copy abilities (horns and wings): RARE. Puffs without copy abilities (horns but no wings and viceversa): UNCOMMON (horns but no wings) VERY COMMON (wings but no horns) Puffs without copy abilities (with horns and wings): COMMON. Puffs with absolutely nothing (no copy abilities, no horns nor wings): RARE.

-When Kirby presented Gooey to his other friends, he met Adeleine and crushed on her since day one. Gooey confessed his feelings without much hopes, as feared, Adeleine didn't return the feelings. Gooey felt pretty awkward afterwards but never hoarded any hard feeling towards Adeleine (same with her).

-Almost all of the Star Allies have beef with someone: Marx has beef with Kine. Adeleine and Ribbon have beef with Zan. Meta Knight has beef with Magolor and Susie. Francisca has beef with DMK (actually DMK has beef with nearly everyone). Zan and Fran have beef with Susie. They just keep their act together because (most of) them like and have connections with Kirby in common.

-When in contact with light-based weapons (rainbow sword, star rod, crystal shard weapon, etc.) Dark Matters often suffer from an allergy sort of reaction to these objects including: Burning sensation, blisters, sores and even burn marks (when the weapon is used against them). Some Dark Matters seem more affected by the contact of these weapons than others. (Think of a vampire when exposed to a cross)

-No re-incarnation form of Void Termina is 100% pure of certain energy (positive or negative) the dark is tainted with light and viceversa. (Energy cross contamination is very common) Only Void is capable of being pure, untainted energy. With that being said:

-Currently, the purest you can get with negative energy is at a 95%, with Zero being the closest to pure negative energy. Then, the other two leaders: Zero Two (90%) and Miracle Matter (93%) and rest of the drones (65% or more). Gooey and Blob (55% and 60% in that order) being the only ones with significantly less than required to be a Dark Matter, so they are an hybrid.

-Now Kirby, he is about 97% pure positive energy, thefore he's the closest to Void. The vast majority of the other population (60% or more) follow an average of 70% of positive energy. Reaching more than 88% in positive energy is a rare occurrence and such people are destined to be Star Warriors (for some reason, this seems very biased towards the puff race).

-Talking about Void, Void takes whatever shape of the energy he's given at the moment. This means, during the Star Allies events with the whole Hyness and the Three Sisters mess, given with the purpose which Hyness was praying for (Destruction of worlds). Void was filled and influenced with Negative energy (and four human sacrifices) and took the shape of a World Terminator because of Hyness' nihilist wishes.

-On the other hand, now that Kirby managed to modify and break through Void's initial negative construction, Void was given positive energy strong enough to make sure he wasn't gonna be broken through people like Hyness again. Leaving that aside, Void is an extremely powerful, pure elemental form (basically a big bang-like personification) and therefore pretty unstable. So he's zealously kept under strict vigilance by Morpho Knight and Star Dream ("wish" granter).

Not NOS-4-A2 monitoring XL and watching the aftermath of how XL feels about what just happened and what everyone else thinks happened instead. Poor NOS is hurt and so was I when the photo of was hit (that’s some good trope/symbolism right there).

What will NOS-4-A2 do next?

What if Nos finally gets XL in his clutches and ready to kill…only to freeze up. He has no idea why, glitch? Being controlled, rust? Until he realizes, he can’t bring himself to kill XL. Deep down in his mainframe, he has a bit of a heart, enough that it can’t bear to destroy the one person he’s ever really cared about and cared about him. He just can’t.

Oooooooooohohhhhhhhh this is some good stuff.

While I think the chances of this happening are low, it would be very, very impactful and dramatic if it did, especially if NOS and XL teamed up for a long period of time, allowing them time to hang out and get to know each other.

NOS would definitely have to feel some kind of connection with XL; and XL is probably the first being after his first mission to take over Star Command who he has been with who wasn’t a robot under his control or drained completely dry. They would have definitely connected over their initial desire for revenge and galactic conquest, but I think they would connect over other things too such as their interest in machinery and not having the best parental figure. I imagine they would likely also discuss deeper stuff and having that kind of bond would make their connection stronger; a connection which gets mutually destroyed by NOS-4-A2 trying to eat XL and XL’s response of teaming up with Buzz and XR to stop NOS’ plan.

So in the event that NOS-4-A2 came back from his seemingly death to get revenge on everyone who destroyed him, I can see him going after XL at some point. So setting the scene:

XL is doing some Star Command stuff and he’s by himself. NOS see this as a perfect opportunity to get back at his old teammate and partner in crime. He moves around the area, making noises to scare XL, making him move where he wants to XL to move. NOS can sense XL’s fear, and he’s loving the thrill of it.

Finally, NOS-4-A2 has him right where he wants him. XL is terrified, jumping at the slightest sound when it suddenly goes dead. After a few long seconds, NOS-4-A2 jumps out of the shadows. XL runs and NOS chases him down once again.

Eventually, XL takes a wrong turn, running into a dead end. He’s about to turn and run back, but in his path stands his old partner in crime, giving him the a look of victory and vengeance as he quickly invades XL’s space. As NOS-4-A2 prepares to strike, CL close his eyes, waiting the end.

NOS goes to strike at XL, but stops just as his claw would have ripped through the larger robots chest. He’s confused, why would he stop when he’s so close to taking his revenge on his old teammate. Growling, he goes to to strike him once more, but again he stops. He tries to move the unresponsive limb but it won’t both… he can’t will it to move any further. He can’t bring himself to kill XL, his enemy, his old teammate, his… only companion for the longest time, someone who he has bonded with and… actually cared for.

NOS-4-A2 is overwhelmed by a wave of emotions and he turns away from XL. At this point, XL is confused as to why he’s still online, when he a familiar screech and metal claws ripping through metal, but not at him. Opening his eyes, he sees NOS lashing out at the area around them. NOS realises he is being watched. He glances at XL briefly before taking off into the shadows, to think on what just happened, but he swears that he will be back for the bigger robot.

XL stands there in shock and confusion as to what happened, though he thinks he it might be what he hoped it is.
