Clonetober Day 14: Shinies

May I offer you some dumb shiny Tup in this trying time? More specifically, may I offer you some dumb shiny Tup realizing he’s Very Into the ARC Trooper with the fancy kama?

I had to write baby shinies being so excited about the 501st.

Pairings: Fives/Tup (future)

Rating: T? G? It’s very SFW.

“There it is!” Tup pokes Dogma in the side and tries not to bounce too much in place as he excitedly whispers into Dogma’s ear. He’s supposed to be composed, professional, but how is that possible when he’s looking at the Dauntless, the home base of the renowned 501st Legion? “We’re so close!”

“Just stay in formation,” Dogma replies sharply, but even his squadmate’s grouchiness can’t curb Tup’s enthusiasm.

“We’re joining the 501st, Dogma! You’ve got to be at least a little excited.” Tup forces himself to something more like stillness--he can feel the indulgently amused eyes of some of the more experienced vode. He doesn’t need to draw attention to how shiny he is, even if his armor is still gleamingly white.

Dogma just shakes his head tightly and doesn’t answer.

Luckily for Tup, he isn’t the only one who’s excited. Some of the other shinies with them are whispering among themselves and Tup chuckles quietly when he gets an excited elbow from another squadmate.

The shuttle docks and Tup will not gawk like a cadet no matter how much he wants to. He will, however, follow the blue-painted ori’vode off of the shuttle and into the hangar bay. If he’s been in the simulations once, he’s been in them a thousand times. He knows what a hangar bay looks like. It still sends a thrill up his spine.

“Well, what do we have here?”

Natborns say they all sound alike, but any vod can recognize the minute differences in volume, pitch, word choice, and tone.

Tup has absolutely watched enough footage to recognize Captain Rex’s voice instantly, even if he wasn’t given away by the stark blue jaig eyes on his helmet. He contains the urge to nudge Dogma and forces himself to attention with the others.

“Brought you back your fresh shinies,” one of the ori’vode says. His helmet has a large Republic cog painted smack in the middle of his forehead, but Tup never caught his name. “Looks like a fun batch.”

“That so?” Captain Rex removes his helmet and Tup’s heart nearly stops. “Let’s take a look at them.”

That’s Captain Rex of the 501st and Tup has just been assigned to the 501st and now he’s standing this close to The Captain Rex.

He looks exactly like he does in the holos, of course, eyes sharp as Tup’s ever seen them. There’s a smile twitching at the corners of his mouth that’s new. It sets some of Tup’s more frazzled nerves at ease. Captain Rex moves down the line of stiff shinies, close enough that Tup is sure he’s picking up on every scuff, every stance that isn’t perfect. He stops at the end of the line and smiles for real.

“At ease, troopers. Buckets off,” Captain Rex says. Tup is grateful to obey. His hair falls loose as soon as it’s free. If it could just grow a little faster, he might be able to actually tie it up. “Alright, vode. You’re going to spend today getting settled in. Duty starts tomorrow. ARC Trooper Fives will show you around.” He gestures to a vod who steps up next to him.

ARC Trooper Fives is a fully kitted ARC trooper, complete with pauldron and kama. Captain Rex has those too, but he’s Captain Rex. Seeing it on another vod makes Tup’s chest do something a little strange.

It’s not like he hasn’t seen kamas and pauldrons on some of the Kamino ARCs. Maybe it’s just the blue paint and the general excitement of his assignment.

“Follow me, vod’ike. I’ll take you to the barracks.” ARC Trooper Fives removes his bucket to reveal a bright grin and a striking tattoo on his temple. He walks by the line to start to lead them, but pauses in front of Tup. “Growing your hair out, vod?”

“Yessir.” Tup manages to say and immediately begins to pray for death.

ARC Trooper Fives reaches out to tug fondly on an errant curl, like they know each other. Like they haven’t just met.

“Looks good. You have a name yet?”

“Tup, sir.” Oh. Oh no. “Tup.” Fives tilts his head, considering. “I like it.”

“Fives, stop flirting and get them moving,” Captain Rex orders.

Fives laughs.

Oh.

Tup’s really in for it now.

TCW High School AU

Starring:

Fox as the perpetually exhausted “gifted kid” on the verge of snapping. Does everything. Swears. Possibly an alcoholic.

The Bad Batch as the ex-special ed squad 

Hunter as the “normal one” who’s always either between autistic burnouts or in an autistic burnout. Sports kid. Good grades but at what cost? Nice but sort of awkward.

Tech as the Sheldon Cooper savant. He doesn’t even try to fit in anymore. Valedictorian. 

Wrecker as the Kid Who Was Funneled Into Trades a Long Time Ago So They Didn’t Have To Pay For Accomodations. Deserves better. Is smarter than everyone thinks. 

Crosshair as the bitch. Always suspended or in In-School Suspension. Somehow always smoking behind the sports shed when you go out there. 

Dogma as the teacher’s pet who has everyone a bit worried, actually. Does he ever talk outside of class? Is everything okay at home? Undiagnosed autism will mess a bitch up. 

Tup as the Sweetheart Who’s Probably Gay. Theater kid. All the girls love him. Dogma’s only friend

Wolffe as the Varsity Kid. Intimidating and seemingly good at everything. He bench-pressed your gf. He’ll bench-press you. He’ll give you his lunch money, here, you look hungry. No, it’s fine, my dad packed me extra for the game later. 

Echo as the Inspiration Porn Disabled Kid. He’s just trying to live, okay? No, he doesn’t want to give a presentation on life as an amputee, he just wants to go to class. Very sweet. Would help you with your homework. 

Fives as the chaos causer. Banned from saying certain words and phrases. Not allowed to sit next to Echo or Hardcase. Or Hevy. Put in detention for trying demonstrate the art of a Wet Willy on Dogma. 

Cody as the too-good-for-this-school salutatorian. Captain of the soccer team. All the ladies want him (he’s gay). Band kid but makes it cool. 

Neyo as that Fucking Kid. Definitely has problems at home. Wears the same hoodie every day. Never talks. Sent kids to the hospital in a fist fight. Does he even exist?

Bacara as that Fucking Kid but functional. Solid A- student, involved in sports and Student Council. Definitely has some unresolved personal issues. Neyo’s only friend.

Using all the clones from ur high school au, what kind of civ clothing do you think they'd wear?

Okay okay okay I took some time and went to TOWN on this one so clone clothes below the cut

Fox:

First and foremost, Fox has his own pinterest board. There’s not much in the way of clothes there, but yeah. 

Lots of red and black

Hoodies and jeans. Jeans and hoodies. Hoodies and Jeans

If you saw the shape of my body No You Didn’t 😁

Someone help him

Always dressed as though it’s approximately 20C. Sort of like a comic character who wears variations of the same outfit.

For someone who hates being perceived, he does wear some tight clothes

Overall, sort of unintentionally punk/emo and tired

Lip, tongue, and ear piercings

Hunter:

Also has two pinterest boards (butch AU and normal)

Cottagecore farmer. Lots of neutral tones and loose, soft fabrics

Loves knit things

Very picky about texture and fit. If it’s tight, it gets donated

Wears things until they fall apart. This does not take long

Soft, waterproof, ankle-high hiking boots that he wears everywhere

L a y e r s 

Constantly putting his hair up or taking it down

Very concerned with taking care of his curls (and for good reason; they’re gorgeous)

Farmer’s tan n freckles

Tech:

Business casual some days, absolute trash others. There is no rhyme or reason. 

If Hunter’s all about consistency, Tech is the opposite (autism vs ADHD in a nutshell lmfao)

Pockets are a must

He has a messenger bag a la Spencer Reid 

Big ol’ glasses with a thick enough lens that you can see behind him if you look at the right angle

Converse

Has these awful graphic tees from the time he went to Goodwill with Hunter

Wrecker:

Big comfy sweaters like those ones they sell at Old Navy

Walking hug with steel-toed boots

He has trouble finding XXL Tall clothes that aren’t Barbecue Dad™ so he takes what he can get 

Rips the knees of pants first

Rips the tags out of everything

Cannot match colors to save his life and hasn’t yet figured out the Hunter tactic of just owning neutral things

He has a lot of fun hats

Carhartt short sleeve shirts and jeans with sharpie and paint on them

If he can’t move in it, he doesn’t want it

Big fan of open short-sleeve button downs over tees

Constantly asking Tech to hold things for him (they get lost in the Bottomless Messenger Bag)

Crosshair:

Typical teenage boy with a side of edgy

You know those joggers with the puffy knees or the cargo pockets? Big wearer of those

Sneaker Snob

Once he dressed up for a school event and he looked so good but pretended not to notice

Big City Gay energy

Constantly has a pack of cigarettes on him, so he’s got to have a pocket for them. He’s got to have a pocket, right? I just can’t see it from here. There must be a pocket because otherwise where is he getting those he’s pulling them out of nowhere send reinforcements—

Steals Hunter’s worn-out, oversized flannels but he’s a tall bitch so they’re pretty normal on him. How is he making them look so edgy?

Dogma:

Wears the same outfit a concerning amount. Like, you don’t notice anything and then all the sudden he’s been wearing the same thing for two weeks. Doesn’t smell bad or anything, though, so ?????

Always put together, but in that way that’s kind of fraying around the edges

I don’t really know how to describe his clothes beyond a sort of vibe? Idk

He’s a really skinny guy and he loves clothes with angular shapes and hard edges, so he kind of looks like a stick figure with really cool geometric designs

He tries to look sort of formal and aloof, but it doesn’t work

His Manic Art Kid vibe is visible from space, though

He looks cute but in a freshman kind of way. Like, “aww, look at him!”

But also radiates the kind of energy that makes people highly concerned

Many ear piercings and one eyebrow piercing

Tall gangly and intimidating

Always carrying his backpack

Tup:

Basically Dogma but with softer edges and rounder shapes

The Ridiculously Well-Adjusted Art Kid

Always has paint somewhere

Looks like a mess but makes it work

Messy buns

Big fan of overalls and colorful shirts

Likes long sleeves

Converse out the ass, but in a ton of different colors

Big sweaters

People forget he’s tall and Stronk because the way he dresses makes him look small (oversized things do that)

Got his ears pierced when Dogma got his third helix, but let them close

Stacked bracelets

Echo:

Somehow soft punk meets varsity kid? He makes it work

Khaki pants but cool 

Open zip-up hoodies and comfy, well-fitting tee shirts

Sneakers only, unless he has to be fancy

Sometimes wears fingerless gloves and refuses to explain why

Undercut

No I lied sometimes he wears stompy boots just because they’re at odds with the rest of his aesthetic

Basically big calm comfy vibes without looking sloppy or informal

Will wear button downs as normal shirts with jeans

Likes to do the graphic tee over thermal shirt thing

Joggers

SKATER BOY. That’s the word I was thinking of. Soft skater boy (he and Fives both skate)

Fives:

Band tees and jeans 

Not a fan of shorts. Has anyone ever seen his legs?

Constantly has this big-ass set of headphones around his neck

Beanies

Also a graphic tee and thermal shirt layerer

Rarely not wearing jeans

Sometimes wears pajamas to school specifically to piss off teachers

Snapbacks

Paints his nails a variety of colors, but mostly black. Somehow the polish is always chipped

Big wearer of Vans, actually is a skater

Tears through the elbows of his jeans jackets falling 

Cody:

Gay smart kid. Debate team captain. Soccer captain. Looks better than you. Looks better than the teachers. Could kill you. 

He wears a lot of half-zips and khakis, but makes it look less nerdy than usual

Sports paraphernalia helps. Hard to look nerdy when the zip-up you’re wearing is from wrestling Nationals

When he wears tee-shirts, they’re always tight? Does he buy them a size small on purpose? (yes, yes he does)

Collector of those really nice zip-up hoodies with the geometric designs that make them look really nice and neat

Actually wears sunglasses when it’s sunny

Has never been seen in a hat

Neyo:

Oh god oh fuck DIY punk? He’s oh god he’s

Neyo my dear that sweatshirt is falling apart

Neyo is. Troubled and in a Bad home. His clothing choices reflect this. 

He does not want to touch or be touched and he wants to look cool doing it

Stoner kid but Spiky

And also he doesn’t actually smoke

Wears combat boots that look like they’ve seen blood

Skinny jeans bc he’s edgy and cool

Patch pants/vest

Also has a pinterest board

Bacara:

Bland depressed kid. Jeans and dark hoodies

Seriously he’s just trying to vibe. He wants to be comfy and he doesn’t want to draw a ton of attention

Black converse

Constantly has a farmer’s tan

Not a fan of short sleeves

Thinks Neyo looks ridiculous

Has never been dress coded in his life 

Seriously Bacara’s idea of spicing up an outfit is wearing like. A polo.
