Guys I just made up a whole backstory for Jeggings and now I'm sad

One of the funniest things about being a clone lover while watching TCW is the fact that all the clones have the goofiest/coolest names with a story behind them that indirectly gives them a little personality. Since you know that all the clones are multilayered people who have their own interesting internal journeys, you want to get to know most of them. So then there will be moments where it's like:

"Oh no, they killed Clover, Sillyboi, Beanstalk, and Jeggings!"

And I'll consistently be upset because I want to know who Sillyboi is and why he's called Sillyboi, but I never will because he fucking died. When a lot of shows kill off background characters like that but give them names, I usually don't care. But the fact that the clones all have fun names that mean something makes me randomly emotionally invested. I'll be crying over some mf named Jeggings who was on screen for 15 seconds.

#i gave his name such a deep meaing related to his autonomy and hope for the future #he saw a civilian wearing a pair after his first campaign and thought they were cool #and earlier his squadmate had been talking about wanting to be able to have something to look forward to #to have something to fight for in the long term and a personal reason to survive the war #and j decided his dream was to some day be able to choose whatever he wanted to wear and have full autonomy over his appearance #and when that day came #he would finally get to start wearing jeggings #and now i'm crying because he had such big yet such simple dreams and he'll never get to wear those jeggings because he died #i'm crying over a guy named jeggings
