YES YES YES.. It's possible I'd be willing to wager my soul to see these three together.

these three would have loved each other

Blob domino squad for this month. For December? Who knows

[fellthemarvelous]

I don't know what's funniest about this. The fact that Cody is clearly regretting putting Rex in charge, the fact that Rex was like LOL THIS IS GOING TO BE HILARIOUS, or that this is Domino Squad's first meeting with General Skywalker's second-in-command.

[ominouspuff]

TRICK or TREAT!

(oooh you wanna draw the domino squad so bad oooh⋆｡°✩⋆｡⋆｡°✩)

Slap on some sheets call them “ @ghosts-of-rishi ” EYYyy

So awkward when you all show up to Halloween wearing the same costume

[tangents-within-tangents]

Echo canonically being sentimental (and a sweetheart)

With his armor, there's also the "For Hevy" memorial, the fact he kept Rex's handprint, and that he put the Bad Batch skull on his armor before he even joined them

Echo holding 99 as he died has always stuck out to me as one of the saddest/sweetest things in TCW (especially since the show rarely actually shows clones mourning/expressing much emotion)

I also noticed that Echo is often the one to mention his brothers by name, and make sure they're remembered. And of course his entire thing about saving his brothers and leaving no one behind. (Also that he turned the call signs into this like nickname/inside joke thing with Omega is so adorable to me ahh)

--

And then there's whatever this is:

Not even a reaction to the name (and we know they are good at implying expression under those helmets)! I know this is old news but it bears saying lol. They had the perfect opportunity here to not only address Echo's loss, but also to honor Fives and the sacrifice he made to discover the chips. A sacrifice which saved Ahsoka, Rex, and now the Bad Batch. This is obviously not the first time Echo and Rex talked about Fives, he knows he's dead (I firmly believe he would not have left the 501st if Fives was still alive), but come on! This did the bare minimum to check the box of 'mention Fives.' How about you cut Wrecker getting attacked by a sarlacc or whatever and give that screen time to show us an actual conversation?

Like I found this bit in an interview:

While the conversation obviously never happened onscreen, Corbett says that doesn't mean it never happened, suggesting the two talked offscreen, saying "For Fives, I imagine that Rex and Echo had that conversation after he was rescued off of Skako Minor, and I know in Season 1 we did have Rex reference Fives on Bracca," adding "So, in my headcanon, they've had many conversations about Fives."

And I'm just like... Jennifer! You don't have to have headcanons, you are literally the writer! Show us!!

(Also he should have gotten his handprint again no I will never let this go)

And if I just keep drawing clone portraits what then

[anstarwar]

If you’re still doing the rare clone doodles can I suggest Hevy?

Hiiii! Sorry this took so long, ended up with a good long list of requests (still more to come), but here we are: one sir Hevy who also survived (just like Cutup and Droidbait yup yup)!

Cody also adopted him into the 212th along with Droidbait where he became an ARF trooper as well. He’s having a nice rest watching the sunset and thinking thoughts

Thank you for sending in this request!

A'sharad Hett for the ask game!

“It has to be earth,” a voice says, insistent, and A'Sharad pauses before he can round the corner, faintly surprised. He’s never heard Echo raise his voice like that outside of contentious strategy meetings and—

“General Hett?” Fives demands, pitched to incredulity, and A'Sharad raises a brow, entirely caught off guard by the mention of his own name. “Look, General Kolar is an earthbender. General Hett isn't pigheaded—”

“Fives,” Droidbait says on a sigh, and Fives makes a wounded sound. Over whatever he’s about to say next, Droidbait pitches his voice up deliberately and says, “You know personality doesn’t factor in to bending, that’s a myth.”

“If it’s a myth, then explain Mace Windu,” Cutup jokes, and then yelps like someone just thumped him. “Droidbait!”

“Fine,” Echo says at the same moment, sounding annoyed. “If he’s not an earthbender, what is he, Fives?”

Amused, A'Sharad leans back against the wall, interested to hear the verdict. It’s a game initiates in the Temple sometimes play, guessing Jedi's talents, and something about hearing his squad engaged in the same debate curls warm through his chest despite the chill of the ship.

“An airbender,” Fives says, with the full conviction of a man set in his opinions. “Tatooine has a lot of wind, right?”

“And a lot of sand,” Echo insists. “He’s an earthbender.”

“It’s also hot,” Cutup offers. “And it has two suns. So firebenders would be extra powerful, right?”

“If the planet made that much of a difference, there wouldn’t be a single earthbender born on Kamino,” Droidbait points out. “It’s just—chance.”

“Every firebender I've ever met has a temper,” Fives says. “Just look at Hevy. You're telling me personality doesn’t play any part?”

“How would you even judge that?” Droidbait sounds like he’s rolling his eyes, and A'Sharad hides a smile. “We don’t know General Hett that well.”

“Well enough to know that he’s an earthbender,” Echo insists.

“You mean well enough to know that he’s an airbender,” Fives counters.

“Odds are he’s a firebender—” Cutup yelps again, and there's a scuffle. “Fives, let go—”

“We’re taking this to the mats,” Fives declares. “Whoever wins has the highest likelihood of being right.”

“When you lose, you have to scrub out my footlocker,” Echo says, and steps retreat. A'Sharad risks a glance around the corner, and snorts at the sight of Cutup caught between Fives and Echo, Droidbait being frog-marched down the hall by Fives. It is, he’s coming to learn, not an unfamiliar sight, even if he’s only had his squad for a few weeks now.

“Sir,” Hevy says from behind him, and A'Sharad turns, finds his new commander just a few steps away, brows raised. “Everything all right?”

“Perfectly fine,” A'Sharad allows. “You managed to contact Knight Secura?”

Hevy shakes his head. “I got her padawan, though. Commander Tano says they spotted a Nightsister in one of the neighboring towns while scouting, and General Secura went to investigate. It could be Ventress, but they're not sure.” He offers up a familiar pouch, beaded in the Tusken style and hung with krayt teeth, and gives A'Sharad a look. “I think you forgot this, sir.”

A'Sharad takes the waterskin, clipping it to his sash beneath his outer robe. “Thank you, Commander. There's little risk when we’re in hyperspace, though.” Pauses, considering the waterskin and then considering Hevy, and says mildly, “What are the current odds for the betting pool, Commander?”

“I have no idea what you mean, General,” Hevy says, but that smirk is saying quite a lot, too, and none of it good for his squadmates.

A'Sharad makes a sound of amusement, tugging his robe a little to cover the waterskin. “If there is a particular time it would be most convenient to reveal myself,” he says, faintly dry, “I can oblige. For the squad’s morale, of course.”

Hevy snickers, but falls into step with A'Sharad as they head down the hall. “Thanks, sir. My caf rations will appreciate it.” He casts a glance ahead of them, and then says more quietly, “You don’t waterbend often. I wasn’t sure if it was something you didn’t want to share.”

A'Sharad weighs the question for a long moment, then breathes out. “Water is both scarce and sacred on Tatooine. Waterbenders are valuable, both to my people and the settlers. My mother was a slave, Commander, taken for her bending ability, and she was terrified I would share the same fate. Using my power sparingly is habit, at this point.”

Hevy curls his fingers, brushes a thumb over the dramatic shockwave paint on his armor. A'Sharad can feel his conflict, and just for a moment, there's an image A'Sharad can see, one impossible burst of fire so vast it covers the whole room.

Hevy doesn’t use his firebending often, either. A'Sharad has noticed that, over the last few weeks.

“We grew up with bending just being another way to fight,” Hevy says after a long second. “It’s good to remember there's other things it’s meant for.”

Like surviving, A'Sharad doesn’t say. Instead, he reaches out, touches the glowing red heart of the explosion on Hevy's armor, one light brush of fingertips, and says, “Your squadmates just headed for the practice room. I believe the bets are about to increase.”

Hevy snorts, but his grin has an edge of teeth behind it. “Just in time for me to cash in. Sesid has a lot of water, right?”

A'Sharad hums in confirmation. “The planet’s landmass is primarily island chains of varying climates, but it is mostly water.”

“Perfect for waterbenders. What a shame only Cutup can appreciate it.” Hevy opens the door to the cockpit before A'Sharad can reach for it, and his expression is full of amusement. “I don’t suppose you're going to need to use your bending one week from tomorrow, sir.”

It will take them three days to reach Sesid, and then likely two more to reach Aayla. A'Sharad raises a brow, then says, “Odds are good I can hold off that long, Commander. Can I ask what you’re hoping to win?”

“Four devoted servants for life,” Hevy says, perfectly smug, and A'Sharad chuckles as he sinks down in the pilot’s chair, already reaching for the comm.

I HAD TO DRAW SOMETHING FROM DOMINOES. so i was like, why not draw one of my favorite gut wrenching moments? this scene literally had me pacing in my bedroom. 😭

“Hevy, duck!” Flak shouts. Hevy drops. Flak fires over his head, knocking the wounded Guard unconscious and downing the second as well, but the third Guard dodges. He raises his gun. Hevy gasps as he recognizes the armor, the wings etched into the side of the helmet. Hevy reaches to switch his own gun to stun but he’s not fast enough. 

“Thorn, don’t—!”

Thorn’s stun bolt slams into Flak’s chest. The pilot staggers and drops. Hevy throws himself to the side and fires at Thorn. The frantic motion makes his shot go a little wide. It glances off of Thorn’s shoulder. The Guard’s entire body jerks, but he doesn’t fall until Hevy stuns him a second time, crumpling to the floor.

For a moment all Hevy can do is stare at Thorn’s unconscious form. Hevy’s chest heaves as he struggles to control his breathing. He feels cold.

Linkin Park – Not Alone.

... with arms up, stretched into the sky,

with eyes like echoes in the night...

hiding from the hell that you've been through,

silent one, you...

go, giving up your home,

go, leaving all you've known...

you go, giving up your home,

go, leaving all you've known,

you are not alone.

501st(+extra) Mando'a names! (Rex + Appo are here)

same as the last one, green names are canon from the Mando'a dictionary, yellow could probably be canon, orange is a little messy and red is mostly made-up combinations that are a little so-so

and like last time, I'm taking suggestions for better names if y'all have any!

Domino Squad GC

Fives: Blowing a dandelion is basically helping a weed ejaculate

Hevy: I was having a good day.

Droidbait: We were all having a good day

Echo: Technically...

Cutup: Oh no...Hevy stop him

Droidbait: I actually wanna see where he's going with this

Hevy: Same

Cutup: Not you too!

Echo: Seeds aren't analogous to sperm, hell, pollen isn't. Plants don't do dimorphic gametes like that. A better analogy would be firing a couple dozen fully-formed babies from a t-shirt cannon

Fives: All hail the baby cannon
