💙 Fives and Echo 💙

The shelter said they were brothers and had to be kept together. Sorry, those are the rules. They'll get lonely if they're separated, so they have to go to a good home together.

If you wanna be added to a taglist for these helmet doodles to make sure you don't miss 'em, please just let me know (or tag a pal, that's cool too)!

There are many reasons I've survived this long. But I think an important one to take into consideration is that I'm just too beautiful to die.

~After the events on Umbara~

Fives: ...So yeah, that's what happened.

Anakin: Oh my God. That's horrible. How's everyone doing?

Fives: We're copping, but Rex took it the hardest. I've never seen him so upset.

Anakin: Where is he?

Fives: In the shower.

Anakin: Shower?

Fives: Yeah, when Rex gets upset he takes REALLY long showers.

Anakin: How long will he be in there?

Fives: I don't know. He took a chair in there.

Anakin: *mumbling to himself in Huttese* What a waste of water.

Anakin: REX, GET OUT OF THE SHOWER!

Rex, from across the building: NO!

You’re all getting it wrong, in a modern!au Fives would be an aid for people who have mental health issues because he knows what it’s like, to be spiraling feeling like loosing your mind and having no one there for you.

guys just because someone is an ARC Trooper does not mean they have ARC designations.

There are ARC clones, and then there are clones trained to be ARC troopers.

For example: Jaing is an ARC clone. Fives is a CT clone trained to be and ARC.

This is not the same.

“I need him,” Anakin said stubbornly.

A splitting headache flared behind Mace's eyes just as the blue blade ignited; oozing violent vexation. The shatterpoint was splintering hard in front of him, so strong it was almost tangible. No! This couldn’t be happening. Palpatine was the Sith they had been looking for all along and Anakin was siding with the Sith, proof by the blade rushing toward Mace.

Hands grabbed him from the side and yanked, pulling at his robes.

The headache ignited; his left knee buckled. Blue just missed his arm, singeing his sleeve in its harsh descent, and he fell backward with the help of the unknown hands. His eyes widened at the Chancellor’s room suddenly framed in a blinding white arch. Hands pulled him further back, away from the vibrant shatterpoint. The image rippled and grew murky, blurring out the Sith.

As a package deal dynamic, of course I'm going to paint Echo and Fives next to each other!

saltsanford: let the river in

Fives turns back to eye him suspiciously, nearly stumbling over his own feet. Kix opens his mouth, closes it again. There’s a little voice inside of him, faint and distant like a particularly staticky transmission, and it’s trying to tell him something. It’s similar to the same feeling that tugs at him when he’s treating a nasty wound, the one that whisper-shouts at him to put pressure here or mix the antidote like that— a muffled but bone-deep instinct that comes from somewhere other than just his training. It’s as close to screaming as he’s ever heard now, telling him quite clearly that if he lets Fives out of his sight tonight, he will never see him again.   Kix refuses to let Fives out of his sight after their meeting at 79s. Meanwhile, Fox grows increasingly desperate in his search, Cody wants nothing more than to help all his brothers, and Fives can’t figure out why he feels so odd now that his chip is gone. https://archiveofourown.org/works/41977200

Fives: Who are you? Who are you working for?!

Echo: I feel like I can do it if this insane man wasn't talking in my ears.

Fives: Does the melon make the man?

Echo: Shut up, you're going crazy.

Fives: Who makes me mad? The melon makes me mad!

Fives Thoughts

Sooooo I literally just made a post being like 'here are some fun bits from Umbara because the arc is depressing and I don't wanna talk about the sad bits' but uh... I had thoughts in the last 15 mins and now I wanna share them. 😃

And of course tagging as usual for people I'm interested to hear opinions from: @saturn-sends-hugs @inkstainedhandswithrings @the-bi-space-ace

It's been a while since I watched these story arcs back-to-back, so a lot of the character development is really showing atm. And one I find interesting is a shift in Fives between The Citadel and Umbara.

Fives has always had a bit of a firey personality, but up until this point he's been a little bit held back with that passion for the most part. And I'm gonna touch in something that @novaceleste and @spaceyjessa spoke about in their podcast (@coffeeandclones I was just listening to it the other day and they talk about some interesting points. Defo recommend you check it out. Also #JusticeForDroidbait2024) because it really is the basis for this whole point. Despite Fives being the brasher, slightly more hardheaded personality, and Echo being the more by-the-books one, it's Echo that tends to do a lot of the talking when authority is involved. When they speak to Shaak Ti, it's Echo that takes the lead, while Fives is a little more hesitant.

And when they first meet Rex and Cody, Fives automatically introduces himself as CT-27-5555, despite being very open about his displeasure of being called that throughout their training. He has this louder personality but he tends to draw into himself and panic slightly when put in front of authority.

However, he still has these more fiery moments, like during his speech in ARC Troopers. When he's put in a fight, that spark within him comes out full force. "My blood is boiling for a fight." That's what drives Fives. That's where that passion comes from. He always wanted to make ARC trooper, to prove himself and to demonstrate that fire in the fight.

And yet when we get to the Citadel, he's surprisingly nervous. Echo seems to be fairly on board with everything, he's listening intently, he's down with the plan. But Fives is rather hesitant and doesn't seem totally enthused about the whole thing. They've made ARC trooper, they're being included in a specialist mission, the things that Fives so desperately worked for. But now that they're here? He's really not comfortable with it.

And I think that Fives' passion and drive is so prominent in the heat of battle because his adrenaline is going, he's got the energy to burn and so that's when we see this fire in him. But in the quieter moments, the meetings, the in-between fights? He's nervous. Those are the moments where he can sit on it and really think about what they're up against. And what becomes really apparent is that Fives is absolutely terrified of the thing that fuels his fire. The thing he worked so hard for scares the absolute shit out of him. And for good reason.

But it's never been so much of an issue because he had Echo. Echo, who's more level headed, who feels comfortable with plans and formats and authority. He could be the comforting presence that Fives needed outside of battle, while Fives could be the spark in it. They're like fire and water. They keep each other regulated, balanced.

But then The Citadel happens.

And watching the Umbara arc, I noticed that Fives doesn't have that very noticeable fear. It's not that it's absent, it's just that it isn't so obvious all of the time. Of course, some of that is going to come with experience, he's been an ARC for longer, he's know Rex for a while so there's slightly more comfort with that level of authority, but he's definitely more consistently confident than he was before.

So my suggestion is, what if that comes as a result of losing Echo (at least in part)? He doesn't have that calming presence anymore, the one to balance his nerves. He doesn't have someone to stand firm beside him or take the bigger step for the two of them, so he's had to learn to do that himself. I think part of it is natural growth that comes with experience (to quote Rex: "experience outranks everything") but I do also think it comes with no longer having that constant other half. Fives has had to learn to balance himself.

Like I said earlier, a lot of this links back to stuff said in Nova and Jessa's podcast, so I'd recommend checking it out. But I just wanted to add my extra thoughts on it, having just watched Umbara, because it definitely stuck out to me on this rewatch.
