Ok, O66 didn’t happen, it’s the Clones’ first Life Day post-war, they’re citizens, they have all the back pay due to them.

Someone asks them “what would you like for Life Day?” Who asks for what?

[smeraldo-heart]

Young Cal absolutely KILLS me.

He was with Master Tapal when the older spoke to Anakin, shortly after the latter became a Knight.

He is described as precocious 😭 because of how he rarely struggled, but he was also kind and generous. He couldn’t deal with failure and that was the whole reason why he was assigned to Master Tapal.

He froze when he saw a droideka out on the battlefield and his Master had to save him.

He was close with his clones, high-fived them and even had a rematch planned with one of them (which implied he regularly played games with them).

Master Tapal made him run drills of escaping through the maintenance shafts.

He trusted his Master until the end.

We need more fun so I’ve got little headcanons for him:

He didn’t like tea until Master Tapal got him drinking it. He more so enjoyed the comfort it brought and the memories of his Master than the actual experience but he still liked experimenting with the different flavours. His favourite is one of Master Tapal’s blends from Lasan.

This is precisely why he doesn’t like tea now. It reminds him of too much, but he’ll drink it for Greez if the other wants him to. The comfort the Latero brings reminds Cal of something he used to have.

He kept a collection of trinkets with good echoes around his room. One of them is the holocron he keeps near his bed.

His blanket was a lifeday gift from the battalion, handmade.

He was still scared of the dark even one year into his apprenticeship. A mission gone wrong where he was stranded on an unsafe ship and had to use the dark to hide in quickly cured him of this though.

He still had a soft toy to sleep with, even just before order 66. He often hid it in a secret compartment in his room because he felt like he should be over that attachment, but later future Cal still wishes he had it to bring him comfort.

He particularly liked adding beads and strings he found on missions to his braid, decorating it not only with accomplishments but also echoes from jobs well done.

He was incredibly flexible and also incredibly energetic. It was tough to get him to sit still, let alone not to race off and start climbing everything he saw. Master Tapal had to teach him not to run off very quickly into their apprenticeship, but he never quite cured him of the latter habit.

Another habit Cal was never cured of was his curiosity, leading him to sneak around exploring places a lot and touching echoes he really shouldn’t have.

He really didn’t like needles or medbays. He would never go near either on his apprenticeship, but this aversion was quickly cured on the uncaring planet Bracca.

He actually had to be told by Master Tapal to stop giving everything he owned as gifts to everyone on board since his quarters were becoming quite bare. Cal did so anyways because he liked giving gifts and making others happy.

He let the clones paint his face in the battalion’s colours once and refused to wash it off for hours.

He had to get a rabies shot one time because he insisted on helping an animal that ended up biting him. He doesn’t regret it for a second though.

He made a little scrapbook of all the clones, what their Force signatures looked like and their names so that he could remember who was who even with the helmets on. He knew exactly who shot at him and who died by his Master’s hands after order 66.

Idk man.. this guy. This tiny little guy. He makes me very sad.

Psst!! HEY! If you want more of this kind of mushy stuff about Padawan Cal, maybe you should check out my fanfic… it’s literally the escapades of Cal and his clones except with a little Diathim twist..

Owen, Beru and Obi-Wan: Luke, we love you and we want what's best for you, so for your lifeday you can ask for anything and we'll do what we can to get it for you.

The Force: *whispering in Luke's ear* You want their help in supporting you through this emotional turmoil, and their help in reminding yourself that you need to be loved and cared for so you can live a long, happy life.

Luke: A power converter.

The Force: NO!!!

Luke: Two power converters.

Luke: oh, no, I'm sorry that was the wrong thing to say....

The Force: Yes, yes, you want emotional support and love so you can begin healing from your past-life's trauma and live a life you deserve without guilt or worry--

Luke: I was selfish to ask for anything. I don't deserve gifts. I don't want anything for my life day.

The Force: NOOOOOOOOOOO

Based off request by @mapplestrudel for Obi-Wan and the Birthday Cake:

The war has been too long already and they were only a few months in. So when Anakin commed Obi-Wan in an absolute tizzy he had assumed the worst but had found out that it was the fact none of the clones ever had a life day celebration that had actually set his former Padawan off. Now, staring at the mounds of ingredients spread between the pair of them in the Negotiator's kitchen, Obi-Wan was rethinking his offer to help his padawan bake enough cake to feed Torrent and Ghost.

Obi-Wan frowned at the amount ingredients spread out on the counters between him and Anakin. He knew, logically, it must take mountains of food to feed that many genetically enhanced super soldiers to match their metabolisms but actually seeing proof of the scale really opened his eyes to the realness of it. "Do you really think we'll be able to complete this cake here? This seems a little... extreme." He said and Anakin rolled his eyes. "I already talked it all over with the chefs at the temple and they assured me this would be enough. We just need to do it in pieces. Starting with the cake. These bags are all filled with premade cake mix made by the temple chefs because they said they didn't trust non-bakers using this amount of ingredients without messing up. They also sent me a step by step process. We just follow the instructions and it'll end in enough cake for all our troopers!" He said cheerfully and Obi-Wan sighed pulling off his cloak and rolling up his sleeves so they could get to work. "Hand me those instructions. Better get going before our Captain and Commander notice our absence." He hummed and the hardest battle he had fought yet began- the battle against the ovens. ------- Cody frowned as he met up with Rex at the mess tables. "Have you seen my General anywhere? I don't think I've seen him in the last three days of leave and I'm getting worried. He's never disappeared this long before." He asked and Rex shrugged. "No, Anakin hasn't been around either but he often leaves to go visit his senator 'friend' so I'm not too worried. Do you think Kenobi got kidnapped in the middle of hyperspace?" He asked and Cody groaned. "I wouldn't put it past him. At least his saber disappeared along with him this time so if he is kidnapped he's at least armed." He said and was surprised when a familiar voice cleared and he looked over to see Obi-Wan standing on one of the tables so everyone in the mess could see him. "Men, it has come to our attention that your births were never properly celebrated and as is tradition in our lineage we wanted to correct that with a proper celebration. As such, Anakin and I have made you both a thick stew for a meal and there is an individual cake for every single one of you. Please make an orderly line and we'll be serving you today. We are very pleased you were born and to have you as warriors fighting on our side." He said before hopping down and moving to stand behind the counter at the mess window to pass out trays with delicious smelling stew and little cakes that had each trooper's name and chosen armor symbol that they were known for or their number and a generic 501st or 212th for the shinies that didn't have names or symbols yet. Cody and Rex took up at the end of the line and when they finally reached their generals it was to see two very tired food splattered men who looked like they had been through the trenches with a food wizard. "Sirs... you didn't need to do this. We know you care about us." He said and Obi-Wan gave him a small smile as he offered him a little cake with a sunshine on top and his name. "You know but it never hurts to remind you that it isn't just words. You deserve actions too. Happy lifeday Cody. I am honored to have gotten to meet you and to be fighting by your side. You are an amazing commander and I know that when this war ends, it's going to be with you and Rex right at the front of the final battle." He said and Cody bowed his head accepting the treat. "And I know it'll be with you right by our sides. Thank you."

My yearly entry, with Nolladi and Lana this time.

Happy Christmas/Lifeday/Holiday!

[sheyshen]

happy lifeday! this is your swtor secret santa doing super secret santa research! ^.^ falling in love with your lovely ocs along the way, so! a few research questions for ye! how long have ava and jonas known each other/worked together? was there something particular that caught their eye about one another? do they have favorite hobbies to indulge together after hours? do the hawke siblings have any holiday reunion plans/traditions/etc? <3

ahhh! happy life day to you as well!

For Ava and Jonas, they've worked together off and on for years now (based on current timeline they've known each other for a good 25 years at this point I think. what year are we in around 26atc or something? yea about 25 years then). They were assigned to work together for a mission early after Ava had become an agent. She didn't think she'd get along with him since she tends to be very focused about her work and he seemed to be a bit more flippant, but they ended up making a good team and became fast friends. They didn't start dating until around when ziost gets ashed, but had a bit of a mutual crush they just never really explored prior to that. (though they had at times played the fake dating card for jobs here and there over the years)

For Ava, she likes how outgoing and personable he is and how he makes her feel more comfortable talking with others outside of a work situation, that's what caught her eye initially. She also thinks he has a nice butt. XD For Jonas, initially it was her looks that drew him to her, but he really came to love who she was and especially likes how earnest she is, and how she pushes to try and do the right thing even if it'll make her some enemies along the corporate ladder. (getting on garza's shitlist is like a badge of honor at this point lol).

If you ask her her work is her hobby, but truly she enjoys baking (she used to help her mother when she was young and it reminds her of her childhood, and she enjoys just making things with people she cares about so that of course includes Jonas) and collecting things, tchotchkes mostly. so she likes to spend date night wining and dining and checking out the little shops around whatever planet they're on. Finding things to send home to her mother or siblings or little gifts to give to jonas if they're apart.

For the Hawke siblings (I think you're meaning Ava and Mikael since the rest of the questions have been about her, but Nora and Trey are also involved so 2 birds) For Ava, Mikael and their other 2 siblings (Krea and Laura) they usually gather for the holidays with their mother on Coruscant. They'll catch up, share stories, exchange gifts and take a chance to spend time together as a family and not worry about the galaxy tearing itself apart for a few days. Most of the traditions are about spending time with one another, since their father was often off planet a lot, Life Day tended to be the only day they would be able to regularly spend with him so it usually ended up being a big to-do and they would try and get all sorts of stories of the planets he'd seen out of him. Since he disappeared they kept up the tradition of sharing stories over a fresh meal and just spending time as a family. The kids all pitch in with cooking and bringing food so it ends up like a potluck with all sorts of dishes to pick from. Ava does invite Jonas but he can't always attend depending on the timing of missions but he still tries to make an appearance, and Mikael has been bringing Nora and Lyra since they were officially wed (thought they had to be careful during the class stories part of the timeline because, well, Nora was the empire's wrath haha) and in recent years Nora's been bringing her brother and niece along as well!

I hope this helps!! If there's any other details you'd like or anything you'd like me to expand on please lemme know!! <3

[thewriterowl]

I just imagine if Luke with his dramatics and his acre for people, he would try to find a big ship for Din for his work, and he fixed it to be one of the best ships with his upgrades and giving it to Fin as a present because Din deserves a big ship(aside of his sport ship). I don't if Din would be very overwhelmed or very happy and does his best to show his appreciation to Luke.

Luke: Happy Lifeday Din :D

Din: I...w-what?

Luke: I found this big ass shuttle ship and got it upgraded and fixed for you! It's not the Crest, but it goes fast, does great turns and loops, and is plenty spacious!

Din: you...got and refitted a ship...for me?

Luke:...it's ok if you don't like it...

Din: I want to blow your back out so bad and then feed you cookies in bed after, i love you so much.

happy lifeday

The senator stopped in his tracks to take in the unusual, though not unwelcome, sight that greeted him as he entered his home.

"...You celebrate Life Day....?"

Happy Boba Fett Day!!! Boba Fett made his animated debut in the Star Wars Holiday Special cartoon, "The Faithful Wookiee" 45 years ago this week in 1978. #BobaFett #BobaFettFanClub #BFFC #StarWars #LifeDay #StarWarsHolidaySpecial

Tag asks!

😊 A fic that made you smile on a bad day

💯 A fic that makes you think #writergoals

🥰 A fic that gives you warm fuzzy feelings

:DDDDDDDDDD

A fic that made me smile on a bad day. There are too many to name. Fanfiction has been a true lifesaver these past few years. But I can name one that was extra special. Exchange of Heart was written by @beskarbabybjorn and was my secret santa gift during probably the worst Christmas of my life. She knew me well and snuck in several little references to things I loved (like horses and the X-Files) and really helped me through an amazingly tough time.

The #writergoals question I answered here.

A fic that give me warm fuzzy feelings. I'm going to be a tad bit selfish and promote one of mine. Actually, a collection of mine. While @beskarbabybjorn got me through Christmas 2021, my own writing got me through in 2022. My Lifeday Celebration was a collection of short stories, one for every day of December, and most of them are soft and fluffy. Looking back at the severe depression I was living with at the time I wrote these, you need to know how much writing them helped me cope. I'm much healthier these days, and therefore don't write like a madwoman anymore, but I'm still happily writing angst and smut and always happy endings.

Send me a number/emoji and I'll give you a fic rec!
