Lenky Don & Saundra Williams & Michele Burks & Ryu Watabe (feat. Dred Foxx): All Masters' Rap
To finish the trilogy, here's Parappa going up against four of his masters to get to a port-a-potty. God, this level sucked to get through. And my motor skills were not good in the single digits. I couldn't even get past that shark level in Gitaroo Man.

LETTERS FROM AN AMERICAN
June 2, 2024
HEATHER COX RICHARDSON
JUN 03, 2024
Today is the one-hundredth anniversary of the Indian Citizenship Act, which declared that “all non-citizen Indians born within the territorial limits of the United States be, and they are hereby, declared to be citizens of the United States: Provided, That the granting of such citizenship shall not in any manner impair or otherwise affect the right of any Indian to tribal or other property.”
That declaration had been a long time coming. The Constitution, ratified in 1789, excluded “Indians not taxed” from the population on which officials would calculate representation in the House of Representatives. In the 1857 Dred Scott v. Sandford decision, the Supreme Court reiterated that Indigenous tribes were independent nations. It called Indigenous peoples equivalent to “the subjects of any other foreign Government.” They could be naturalized, thereby becoming citizens of a state and of the United States. And at that point, they “would be entitled to all the rights and privileges which would belong to an emigrant from any other foreign people.”
The Fourteenth Amendment, ratified in 1868, established that “all persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside.” But it continued to exclude “Indians not taxed” from the population used to calculate representation in the House of Representatives.
In 1880, John Elk, a member of the Winnebago tribe, tried to register to vote, saying he had been living off the reservation and had renounced the tribal affiliation under which he was born. In 1884, in Elk v. Wilkins, the Supreme Court affirmed that the Fourteenth Amendment to the Constitution did not cover Indigenous Americans who were living under the jurisdiction of a tribe when they were born. In 1887 the Dawes Act provided that any Indigenous American who accepted an individual land grant could become a citizen, but those who did not remained noncitizens.
As Interior Secretary Deb Haaland pointed out today in an article in Native News Online, Elk v. Wilkins meant that when Olympians Louis Tewanima and Jim Thorpe represented the United States in the 1912 Olympic games in Stockholm, Sweden, they were not legally American citizens. A member of the Hopi Tribe, Tewanima won the silver medal for the 10,000 meter run.
Thorpe was a member of the Sac and Fox Nation, and in 1912 he won two Olympic gold medals, in Classic pentathlon—sprint hurdles, long jump, high jump, shot put, and middle distance run—and in decathlon, which added five more track and field events to the Classic pentathlon. The Associated Press later voted Thorpe “The Greatest Athlete of the First Half of the Century” as he played both professional football and professional baseball, but it was his wins at the 1912 Olympics that made him a legend. Congratulating him on his win, Sweden’s King Gustav V allegedly said, “Sir, you are the greatest athlete in the world.”
Still, it was World War I that forced lawmakers to confront the contradiction of noncitizen Indigenous Americans. According to the Gilder Lehrman Institute for American History, more than 11,000 American Indians served in World War I: nearly 5,000 enlisted and about 6,500 were drafted, making up a total of about 25% of Indigenous men despite the fact that most Indigenous men were not citizens.
It was during World War I that members of the Choctaw and Cherokee Nations began to transmit messages for the American forces in a code based in their own languages, the inspiration for the Code Talkers of World War II. In 1919, in recognition of “the American Indian as a soldier of our army, fighting on foreign fields for liberty and justice,” as General John Pershing put it, Congress passed a law to grant citizenship to Indigenous American veterans of World War I.
That citizenship law raised the question of citizenship for those Indigenous Americans who had neither assimilated nor served in the military. The non-Native community was divided on the question; so was the Native community. Some thought citizenship would protect their rights, while others worried that it would strip them of the rights they held under treaties negotiated with them as separate and sovereign nations and was a way to force them to assimilate.
On June 2, 1924, Congress passed the measure, its supporters largely hoping that Indigenous citizenship would help to clean up the corruption in the Department of Indian Affairs. The new law applied to about 125,000 people out of an Indigenous population of about 300,000.
But in that era, citizenship did not confer civil rights. In 1941, shortly after Elizabeth Peratrovich and her husband, Roy, both members of the Tlingit Nation, moved from Klawok, Alaska, to the city of Juneau, they found a sign on a nearby inn saying, “No Natives Allowed.” This, they felt, contrasted dramatically with the American uniforms Indigenous Americans were wearing overseas, and they said as much in a letter to Alaska’s governor, Ernest H. Gruening. The sign was “an outrage,” they wrote. “The proprietor of Douglas Inn does not seem to realize that our Native boys are just as willing as the white boys to lay down their lives to protect the freedom that he enjoys."
With the support of the governor, Elizabeth started a campaign to get an antidiscrimination bill through the legislature. It failed in 1943, but passed the House in 1945 as a packed gallery looked on. The measure had the votes to pass in the Senate, but one opponent demanded: "Who are these people, barely out of savagery, who want to associate with us whites with 5,000 years of recorded civilization behind us?"
Elizabeth Peratrovich had been quietly knitting in the gallery, but during the public comment period, she said she would like to be heard. She crossed the chamber to stand by the Senate president. “I would not have expected,” she said, “that I, who am barely out of savagery, would have to remind gentlemen with five thousand years of recorded civilization behind them of our Bill of Rights.” She detailed the ways in which discrimination daily hampered the lives of herself, her husband, and her children. She finished to wild applause, and the Senate passed the nation’s first antidiscrimination act by a vote of 11 to 5.
Indigenous veterans came home from World War II to discover they still could not vote. In Arizona, Maricopa county recorder Roger G. Laveen refused to register returning veterans of the Fort McDowell Yavapai Nation, including Frank Harrison, to vote. He cited an earlier court decision saying Indigenous Americans were “persons under guardianship.” They sued, and the Arizona Supreme Court agreed that the phrase only applied to judicial guardianship.
In New Mexico, Miguel Trujillo, a schoolteacher from Isleta Pueblo who had served as a Marine in World War II, sued the county registrar who refused to enroll him as a voter. In 1948, in Trujillo v. Garley, a state court agreed that the clause in the New Mexico constitution prohibiting “Indians not taxed” from voting violated the Fourteenth and Fifteenth amendments by placing a unique requirement on Indigenous Americans. It was not until 1957 that Utah removed its restrictions on Indigenous voting, the last of the states to do so.
The 1965 Voting Rights Act protected Native American voting rights along with the voting rights of all Americans, and they, like all Americans, are affected by the Supreme Court’s hollowing out of the law and the wave of voter suppression laws state legislators who have bought into Trump’s Big Lie have passed since 2021. Voter ID laws that require street addresses cut out many people who live on reservations, and lack of access to polling places cuts out others.
Katie Friel and Emil Mella Pablo of the Brennan Center noted in 2022 that, for example, people who live on Nevada’s Duckwater reservation have to travel 140 miles each way to get to the closest elections office. “As the first and original peoples of this land, we have had only a century of recognized citizenship, and we continue to face systematic barriers when exercising the fundamental and hard-fought-for right to vote,” Democratic National Committee Native Caucus chair Clara Pratte said in a press release from the Democratic Party.
As part of the commemoration of the Indian Citizenship Act, the Democratic National Committee is distributing voter engagement and protection information in Apache, Ho-Chunk, Hopi, Navajo, Paiute, Shoshone, and Zuni.

Was thinking about CCs train and shit when it hit me. There are a few commanders, such as Monnk, Jet, Blackout, and Hound (he’s a cc to me) who would have to be trained alone or with CT’s, since their specialty requires so much work.
So, I have come with an idea. Since the standard week is 5 days, 3 of the 5 are spent in specialized classes. They’d do their flash training and then be taken by other trainers. They would train with a squad of others, and put in charge.
For Hound, since it’s a special case of having a Massiff buddy. Those three days are set together and Grizzer would stick with him all day, and night. To strengthen their bond, they would spend off time together and Hound would have his official trainer (an Mandalorian) set Grizzer in the bunk with him. This was a not great idea for some massiffs but Grizzer loved the pod and would wiggle like hell when the Alpha picked him up.
I can just imagine, Monnk coming back to his squad from specialized training soaking wet and cold. Having his Alpha help him peel off the dry suit before he goes to bed. Talking all about the fun things he learned and saw with his Mandalorian trainer. Actually, I headcanon that Monnk and his trainer got along incredibly well is basically adopted by the Mandalorian. Monnk got his name and the sea dragon across his armor from the Mandalorian. (I also headcanon that Dred Priest hated the Mandalorian and reconditioned Monnk to get at him. Dred ended up in a bacta tank and the Mandalorian retaught Monnk everything from scratch. (Monnk was about 3 standard at the time.))
Jet scared the shit out of his trainer with how well he was able to control the flame. He was also taught what alternate fuels could be used on different planets and Jet got so interested he found all the options he could on Kamino (only 2) and he switched out the fuel, Pyro (my OC) was all to happy to help. They both were found sitting on the floor with the flamethrower between them, quietly watching the flames. Turns out, all of the flame troopers either had or developed pyromania to *some* degree. The trainer in charge was quite happy to find out about this as he had a severe case himself and was all to happy to indulge his troopers under the excuse of teaching the troopers.
Blackout is a special operations clone trooper, trained for stealth operations and piloting. While he did not have a super close bond with his trainer, they both still enjoyed each others company and considered each other friends. Blackout is one of the few who was already good at lying, but his training made him the best (better than even Fox, which he is very proud of). He wasn't as close with as many of his troopers due to their numbers being quite large, but he (like the rest of the spec ops troops) does his best to instruct and learn about his troopers in their short time together.
Bacara, though not recieving any special training, caught the eye of a Concord Dawn Mandalorian who took him for special Marine training for one day a week. It would be till later when they decided to have a Marine Corps that he would become the specialist.

fox & rex ficbit
finally wrote some tcw! whoo.
tbh not entirely sure where this is headed (a lie: i know exactly where i want this to end up, and it is with alpha-17 storming coruscant in a fit of protective rage and also murder) and atm it’s just a lot of exposition ideas because...i still have no real solid feel for the characters?? so i’m kind of working through that.
it is exhausting. star wars fanon you are exhausting. why can my brain not just write with the tropes and be done with it
anyway basically rex and fox are alpha-17′s feral children/brothers/students/?? because all three of them are competent chaos gremlins. set vaguely after geonosis but before the GAR is actually properly structured, bc if star wars doesn’t know what its timeline is then why the hell should i
---
Growing up on Kamino, Rex and Fox had three things in common: a taste for the popularly-loathed blue carbohydrate cubes, an unstoppable compulsion to always be the best at anything they did, and the extremely dubious honor of being Alpha-17's favorites.
Fox was one of the earlier Command Class clones decanted, the eldest of a batch that boasted Wolffe, Gree, Bly, and Cody: possibly the strongest CC batch that Kamino would ever produce. He came out with a massive chip on his shoulder and left his tact in his tube, and made a sport of talking back to every single trainer in the Cuy'val Dar--which was why he once spent two weeks in Medical with broken ribs, a punctured lung, and Dred Priest's bootprints on his chest.
On the other hand, Rex came from a CT batch that was nearly flushed for genetic deviation, and of the original five, only he and Crys made it past cadet training. He clawed to the top of all his training modules fueled by fear and spite, and did everything by the book to avoid any kind of attention that might further mark him as defective: he kept his head down and his mouth shut, no matter what he actually thought about things.
Alpha's ARC training was good for the both of them, in the end: it taught Rex how to speak his mind, and it taught Fox how to shut the fuck up.
"15 - 5," Alpha announced cheerfully, leaning on his training staff without even the slightest indication of being tired. Fox, flat on his back at Alpha's feet, wheezed something that might have been a curse.
"I'm starting to think that those 5 were a fluke," Rex said blandly.
Fox's next growl was definitely a curse, and he lifted trembling hands to sign something insulting and anatomically improbable in Rex's direction.
"Go on, stop whining into my mats," Alpha said, nudging Fox in the side with his foot. "It's time for me to beat the other little brat into the ground."
Rex watched, snickering, as Fox very clearly struggled to keep from offering Alpha a similar insult.
It was good that he was finally developing a sense of self-preservation.
It was just the three of them left in the gym, long after most sane troopers retreated to lick their wounds and get some kind of rest before they did the same thing all over again tomorrow. Even Fox's certifiably unhinged batch had abandoned them after a couple hours of extra training; most of the CCs had been tagged for the ARC classes, but some were taking to it with a little more enthusiasm than others.
Fox peeled himself off the floor, using his staff as a crutch as he staggered to the deceptive safety outside of the training ring. He passed Rex along the way; his encouraging pat on the shoulder turned into more of an uncoordinated smack to the side of the head, which Rex magnanimously decided to forgive on account of knowing he'd probably need Fox's help standing up later.
Alpha was brutal, and relentless, and more than a little bit of a dick, but he wasn't cruel. He pushed them hard, taught them everything he knew, and if sometimes Rex caught him looking at them like he was worried they'd vanish the moment they left his sight, well.
The campaign on Geonosis had been a hell of a debut. They'd lost thousands of brothers, and now they were all on edge waiting for their official postings. There was no telling where they'd end up next.
Fox would undoubtedly be deployed where the fighting was the heaviest; he came off Geonosis with a dossier of accolades and a near-spotless string of victories. The rest of his batch had done equally well--all save Cody, who'd been unwillingly left behind on Kamino with a grade three concussion and a broken orbital bone, courtesy of one of Isabet Reau's battle circles.
Rex was probably destined for something similar. He'd performed well enough that he was guaranteed an officer commission, and he'd been all but adopted into the Command class after taking control of a battalion that had lost their commanding officer. It would be an absolute waste to not send him to the front lines.
Once ARC training was over, once they got their assignments and shipped out, it was entirely possible this would be the last time that Alpha saw them both alive.
With that cheery thought in mind, Rex spun the staff in his hands, met Alpha's grim expression with a sharp nod, and launched himself into the ring.
(Later, after Alpha dumped them both in the showers and ordered them not to drown, Fox gave him so much shit for only managing to win three matches out of twenty. But he also hauled Rex into the closer barracks that he shared with his batch, shoved him into the empty bed, and immediately passed out on him, which was enough of a comfort that Rex figured he could put off his vengeance for later.
Maybe in the morning.
Maybe after they came back from the war, and they could prove to Alpha that he hadn't just sent them off to die.)

In 2001, I was made contact, with a potential owner, of the Golden Convent, for the world's greatest female combat advisors, the Sisters Chaplin.
9/11, the World Trade Center attacks of 2001, had just occurred.
A young Jawad Hussein, was contemplating the United States Marine Corps, to earn 8 million dollars in a suitcase, and to build his own Golden Palace, for the Sisters Chaplin.
He managed to take a picture, of Saddam Hussein fleeing the city of Baghdad, during the opening days of the War on Terror and Operation Iraqi Freedom.
He then allowed him to hide, knowing where he was, using the FOX News journalist team to torment American soldiers, with Family Guy, to "find Saddam Hussein".
When Saddam was captured, he was given an Islamaphobic prison guard.
Saddam, relatives of the King of Jordan and Upton Sinclair, had been allowed a Jewish passage, an extra meal, a Christian passage, a lawyer, but not an Islamic passage, a camel, impossible to fit in his prison.
With the assistance of the lawyer I tried, ace highschool guidance counselor and North Korean loan from the Clinton Administration for just such a purpose, Saddam Hussein faced the world.
Saddam had to prove, as Gohan, of Dragonball Z, that he was Goku, but a CIA agent; not an MI-6 agent, the evil "Freiza", who was in favor of poverty abuse, and a friend to the soccer club; certainly no mental illness reformer, an investigative journalism who makes adaptation comics for us for our own form of Calvinism, David and Goliath, through the Uighurs, the Hussein family's cousin, the Food and Drug Administration; Upton Sinclair.
The entire Middle East, now works for the CIA, on mercenary hire out of gas stations that sell beers; essential to Obama's strategy, "Rutherfraud", removing the Kennedy convenience store taxes that caused this whole issue with a dispute between the Charlebois family, the Canadian intelligence COBRA system of insurance for cops and teachers, from the state, however out of a large desk or filing bin in one central office per municipal federal court, and the Bin Ladens, over the Checkers cigarette, from New Hampshire, being shipped into Canada for a new K-Mart derived convenience store.
Amistad, has been avenged, with Dred Scott.
And Jawad Hussein, now has his briefcase, full of eight million dollars, and his Convent.

Fives headcanons
While many of his brothers resent the Coruscant Guard, Fives treats them as he would any other brother.
Out of sheer loyalty to Ahsoka, Fives wanted to go with her when she left the Order.
Fives didn't hate Fox for killing him.
The first mother's day card Shaak Ti ever received was from Fives.
When she found out Fives & Echo were promoted to ARC trooper, Shaak Ti was so proud that she took them out to dinner to celebrate at the most expensive establishment they could find.
Fives convinced the waitress to forward half the bill to Palpatine, and the other half to Dooku.
Of all the boys in the 501st, Fives, Echo & Rex were the most persistent in trying to connect and bond with Boba
As a joke, some clones refer to Waxer & Boil as Fives & Echo in orange.
When he was in the shooting range while undergoing ARC trooper training, Fives, out of protective instinct, shot Dred Priest's raised hand to stop him hitting one of the younger cadets.
On the 501st betting pool, Fives had 5 credits on Obi-Wan hooking up with Ventress, and 10 on Kenobi hooking up with Luminara.
When the 501st & 212th work together, Fives & Echo sit with Waxer & Boil in the mess hall.

Summary: Throughout his life, Fox has known he is different from his brothers. He can sense what someone is feeling, he can tell if someone approaching the barracks is a brother or a trainer to hide from. He doesn't know what this sense is, but he knows he can use it to help his brothers. He also knows he can't tell anyone about it. He's different from what the 'perfect clone' should be, as he grows, Fox knows he shouldn't be able to know what he does. But he is determined to protect his brothers when he can.
Fox is close to his batchmates during their training years on Kamino. But then the war comes and forces them all apart. Fox is stuck on Coruscant and he cannot protect his batchmates, but he has a Guard full of vod'ike to protect and by Force he is going to try. But as he staggers along with his hidden sense as he calls it, Fox may just stumble upon a sinister plot regarding the Jedi his batchmates serve faithfully and call their friends. However, before he can stop any plots, Fox first needs to make sure he keeps himself alive. Coruscant is it's own battlefield after all.

*naturally goes along with a white lie you told and cover up for you when people question it*
450 words. T. Rex and Jango Fett, Dred Priest. Mentions of Original Characters, Wolffe, Cody, Blackout, Fox, Ponds, and the Alphas. Leverage Fusion AU.
Dred Priest is his own damn warning.
Prompt from @secondhand-trash‘s list here.
“I was getting it for Prime,” Rex lies, immediately cursing himself. Mèpe is his trainer, will go along with any grift he tries just to keep him going. Prime, though Rex has trained under him a few times, barely knows Rex exists.
Priest snarls at him. “Sure, kid. Jango sent on a little CT to get a new set of whites.” The armor case bends a little under the man’s grip.
“He wants to test the new run,” Rex says, lie smoother now. He might as well run with this. Hopefully by the time Priest asks Prime, he’ll be ensconced in the crew’s apartment. “He had opinions on the last one, what with the Alphas testing it.”
Priest snarls again, but lets loose of the case. “Fine. We’ll take it to him.” He slams the case shut and motions for Rex to go ahead.
Rex runs through the crew’s training schedules in his head. Gall and Wolffe are running two batches of the 8 mark CTs, the ones the growth group just under Rex, through evasive maneuvers. Triff is putting Cody and a bunch of other 3 mark CCs through etiquette drills. Mèpe has hold of some of the special ops CCs and CTs, but they’re running through the same lesson that Mèpe put Rex and Blackout through yesterday so Rex is free. Gimm and Fox are making Ponds catch up on slicing. The Alphas are doubling up with their newest squads of CCs, on their own, and Prime is on break for the next hour before he goes to get onto them for whatever mischief they drag the younger CCs through. If Prime is on break…
Rex leads Priest back to the apartments, considers grabbing the case and running for the crew’s apartment. Instead, he soldiers ahead and knocks on Prime’s door.
Prime opens it while on comm, eyebrows raised and expression sour at Priest.
“I got the new run of whites, sir, like you asked,” Rex says, solid in his delivery, when Prime pauses the comm call.
Prime nods, glares at Priest. “Good. Get it in here.”
Rex snatches the case from Priest and darts into the apartment, settling next onto the couch while Prime scares Priest off.
Prime’s laughing once he closes the door, though. He shakes his head and looks Rex in the eye. “Why the hells did you want to grab the new cast of whites?” he asks, amusement clear.
“Wanted to see if I could, sir,” he admits. You didn’t lie to Prime, unless it was one of the crew’s tests.
Prime clicks his tongue, drags Rex’s chin up to look at him. “We’ll make a thief out of you yet,” he promises, smiling.
