The troopers deserve 70s era short shorts

[moxie-girl]

still workshopping some of these a bit, but here's the current mando'a name chart for the CCs (plus rex!)

green words are ones I took directly from the mando'a dictionary, yellow words are technically non-canon but are basically real words, orange are words I made up that could probably be real words, and red ones are the ones I just mashed words together and they don't always make the most sense

I'm taking constructive criticism on some of these names! If you have a better mando'a name for a character (esp. one w a red name) I'd be happy to hear it!

edit: other name lists can be found here: 501st 212th !!

He remembers the day he was first called Kote.

The pride had swelled in his chest so much he smiled, a real smile as vod alike hugged him after they were allowed to rest after a brutal day of training. Sure, his nose was broken and still bloodied, but the adrenaline of being named was enough to drown out the pain as he and his brothers celebrated with stolen rations and a drink of unspoken origin.

Kote remembers the day his name changes to Cody, hidden under the title of Commander as the war begins.

He's not sure why it has to change, but figures the Jetti they now finally serve don't understand the name. The one called Kenobi hadn't had trouble with it after he had chased Jango and his kih'vod off and away from Komino, but the longnecks say he is Cody, so now he is. Commander Cody's reputation spreads from the beginning of the war with both how quickly he takes to leadership and with the particular Jetti he serves, his yellow armor a beacon for most when he and the 212th charge across the battlefield. He's the first of 4 to be promoted to Marshal Commander, Cody grinning underneath his bucket at the cheers from his men, and the joy radiating from his General as he pins the commendation on his armor.

Cody remembers the day Obi-Wan said his name softly, walking beside the commander toward whatever they had been doing.

They never did make it to their final destination, instead, Cody nearly kicks down the door to an empty room and drags the Jetti inside. Lips meet before their brains catch up, and that damn cloak he's always dropping on the battlefield is now in the way as he aches to hold Obi-Wan close. He can't remember when he started wanting Obi-Wan, the man who understood his normally neutral mannerisms without the need to ask, and completed him in a way he never knew he was incomplete. Cody could melt when Obi-Wan cups his face, saying something but going unheard as he drank in those dazzling eyes and reddened cheeks, smiling for the first time in a long while. He's never been a selfish man, but Cody can't help but think that Obi-Wan is the first thing he's ever wanted for his own, and hopes that it will be easy to make this clear. Of course, Cody doesn't have to try, Obi-Wan always knows, calling him dear and darling after they eventually leave their little spot away from the world.

Cody remembers the first day he was just Cody to those he loves, Commander by day to clean up the corruption and devastation from a war finally ended.

It was a long process, just because the Sith behind it all was gone did not mean his collaborators were just going to stop, but it was fulfilling. Clankers were cut down with ease now they didn't have the drop on the clone troopers, and the rapidly dwindling numbers meant more time away from the front lines. More time to see worlds he had only seen in snippets or brief times on the surface, time to see survivors they'd help save, time to sit in the Temple on Coruscant and listen to Obi-Wan be a leading force towards a better Republic. Cody still finds it strange that most natborns were less hostile as the days pressed on, and sometimes sits with Fox to wonder if the Sith could control so many people on the neverending planet, to which they both shrug and agree that the Force was too weird to try and figure out.

Cody remembers the first time little Luke and Leia called him Ori'vod Kote, the little tubies scooped up into his arms with matching giggles.

Kote enjoys living on Naboo whenever he can drag Obi-Wan away from his work, chuckling when Luke usually traces his many scars while Leia asks for stories with an intense look on her face. He wonders how quickly a tubie can become a Senator, a question that causes Padme to launch into laughter and Skywalker to cover his face with his hands, which in turn makes their children laugh. Kote sometimes thinks of having his own tubies when he and Obi-Wan leave the planet after their visits but knows that their work needs to be finished before that can be allowed, as none of his will live in such a dangerous universe. Still, his (slightly still dangerous) life that Kote has is as perfect as it can be for now, and that's all he really needs.

Happy 2/2/24 day to my favorite Marshal Commander!

I CANNOT DRAW ARMOR

I might actually cry if this doesn’t turn out I have a reference and I have an idea of what it needs to look at I just want to draw Cody in his armor for Cody day (2/2/24)

Edit:

I have decided that you are getting this even if it’s just an arm

Helmets are hard

212th Mando'a name hcs!!

I've got a lot of names already figured out, so rn it's mostly a matter of organizing the ones I have and then working on the ones I don't...

same as all the others, color coding from green -> red matches how close the name is to a canon Mando'a word:

(also yes i know Helix is technically fanon but I hadddd to include him)

[l3st1b0urn3s-707]

I recently read The narrow road between desires and god it was so good!!

If you didn't know this about me, I read The kingkiller chronicle about three years ago and I really like these books. And even if the third book hasn't come out yet, having this novella about Bast (my second favourite character because Auri has a special place in my heart) is a really fun treat.

I've loved Bast since he first appeared in The name of the wind because I really liked his playful personality and how he cared so much about Kvothe. I also really like fae, so that was an extra cool thing about his character.

Now, this book was awesome. I really needed to read something that was still in the fantasy genre but didn't have a lot of action or a really complicated plot. And even if this book had some parts that I didn't understand that well, it was just what I needed. There's something really fun about accompanying Bast in a day in his life. It was also really cool that the specific date when the story happens is the summer solstice, the exact same day when I read it! It's really nice getting to know characters seeing their daily lives, and I think this book helped me understan Bast a little bit better.

And also, there were a lot of fun surprises! I definitely wasn't expecting to see queer characters in this story, specially because there weren't many in the other books (I actually can't think of any right now). As a queer person myself I really liked seeing that the main character plus some other background characters were part of the lgbtq+ community. It's really nice seeing an author's evolution portraying these kinds of topics.

I had a really great time reading this book. I think Bast's interactions with the children were really sweet and interesting, he seems to really care about them, including Rike, even though he was still mad at him. And I also liked his conversations with Kvothe! They also helped understand how their relationship as mentor/ studen goes beyond that, they kinda look like a family. Oh, and the illustrations were some of the most beautifull ones I've ever seen in a book, they also fit so well with the aesthetic of the story.

I'd love to read The Doors of Stone one day, because Rothfuss' narration is trully magical. The kingkiller chronicle is a really good series (even if there are some parts of the story that I don't really like as much), and it would be a shame to never see its ending. I understand that Rothfuss feels overwhelmed because the first books have left very high standards and he's scared the last one won't be as good, but I really think we'll all love it as much as the rest.

In conclusion, Bast is a bisexual icon, books with illustrations are my weaknesses and I still have a massive hyperfixation on tkkc. And more seriously, I really recommend this book to anyone who loves these books as much as I do and hasn't had the opportunity to read it yet!
