Theory: The Clone X was not Cody like some people think or even Fives (I know he's been dead for a very long time but so was Boba Fett and look where we are. Plus, Echo was supposed to be certainly dead too; making him Winter Soldier-esque storyline wouldn't be that surprising) or not even Slick.
((Also, now that we've seen his face devoid of any tattoos or scars I think first two takes are definitely not applicable anymore; they wouldn't put that much effort to make him unrecognizable))
Back to the point: In my opinion, The Clone X was none other than...
Fox.
Now let me explain.
Who else, other than X, was loyal to the law and justice dictated by it over any moral or ethic code?
Fox.
Who else was portrayed with such single-minded focus on hunting down traitors of the government he served, regardless of what it was?
Fox.
Who else could know not only Coruscant so well but also identify Rex like they knew each other?
He already was a remarkably successful tracker of traitors, why not make him more efficient by pointing them out for him?
Good soldiers follow orders, after all.
#clone assassin#commander fox#star wars tbb#i know that hes got killed really early after Order in comics but i would honestly prefer him to die this way#the bad batch spoilers#tbb#cc 2224#commander cody#arc trooper fives#ct 5555#tcw slick#cc 1010#star wars#sw tbb#sw the bad batch#the bad batch season 3#tbb theory#we dont even know for sure how fox looks like cause in one moment we see corries without helmets all of them have standard paintjob#there are 3 clones behind fox when hes shown and then the one taking off his helmet stands beside 2 others so it may actualy be it???#my point is: outside of one page incomic that can be at any point made noncanon or recontextualized theres no evidence that it cant be him#they already retconed more important things. why not this?#and as rogue said in coments X is a 10 in roman numerals so...#i think its likely that in case im right we can assume that all named corries were made into CloneX#none of them appeared yet despite how much of action happens on coruscant#and only thorn died on screen; in a way preventing him from being viable option nonetheless#three hits point blank months before Order seem unlikely but theyve done weirder things so him returning wouldnt be THAT weird so uhh idk#but yeah cx-02 is tech#winter soldiering doesnt stop#i mean THIS could be fox/other corrie but it being tech is way too cliche oportunity to waste it on them (derogatory towards disney)#pls disney let corries hunt down traitors like they used to pls

I don't wanna be wanky here but am I slightly perhaps just the tiniest bit put out that so many people are all "🤩I burn my life to make a sunrise that I know I'll never see😍" about Luthen when Cassian Andor's other tall sandy-haired spymaster came in for so much flack over (checks notes) ordering a hit on the lead engineer for THE DEATH STAR? Maybe so
#yes yes some of this is the power of good writing and also skarsgard's acting being v compelling#but some folks are simply not taking the stakes of this universe seriously#when in fact taking the universe seriously is one of andor's great narrative strengths!#I enjoy luthen but he is ten times more ruthless than ANYTHING draven does in rogue one lol#and i am a person who fully prefers my draven characterization at least 10% morally compromised bastard#luthen rael#davits draven#andor#rogue one#star wars#my posts

nate being the only doctor makes me wonder what he's had to do for the others before
Nate does a lot for the crew. (Also woo look at his human disguise!)
When he's not actively treating or checking on them, he's constantly working to compare studies and test data to understand how to treat his friends, seeing as they have widely different genetic makeups and could react in ways that are *catastrophically* unexpected.
He can't use human rules when working on them, which greatly complicates things when he's educated in treating humans. Sera and Vince naturally have nucleated blood cells for greater oxygen input since they're always in rigorous activity, but this is a sign of leukemia or other major deficiency in humans. How do drugs interact with their bodies? what reaction will their immune systems have? do they have an intolerance to certain chemical developments?
This is partly why Vincent underwent so much testing and experimentation- to catalogue and document an atlas for the reproduction and understanding of this hybrid Variant species, and how every facet of its anatomy works in that respect. Like a rough draft you don't care about messing up, and use only to learn from.
Sorry Vince.
It's a wonder how Nathaniel was able to successfully recompile enough information to save his friends at all. It's a lot of stress on one guy with no nurses! That goes without saying for Amon (who is a beastshifter) Sonia... (Who is a living chemical synthesis lab) The various other people who end up joining... (Who shall remain incognito)
...Yikes.
He has likely seen all of them naked at least once, due to emergencies. He's extremely professional, so it's like it never happened... But it's still never fun to have to use that kind of ER protocol on your injured friends and associates.
Everyone except for Vincent, since V never lets Nathaniel treat him for anything, even when he needs it.
Instead, everyone caught a harrowing and unwanted glimpse of Vincent when he landed back home after streaking in the rain. He now flies with his pants duct-taped on. And goggles. For the glare and the overwhelming surplus of bugs he slams into at twice the speed of a f1 car.
#devarambles#nathanieltag#one of the awkward facts about their situation as rogues is they have zero medical support besides Nathaniel.#and he has to constantly inform himself on their respective anatomy because theres so much undocumented info on variant medicine#Despite all of the extensive testing and processing reports done on variants#which is done in reference to improving human medicine. not necessarily variant healthcare. useful data regarding treating people is...#few and far between. Private research and study is usually done for variations that prove useful to government positions.#So variant healthcare is usually employed towards certain government divisions or certain levels of corporate practices. otherwise they#simply don't bother. “it costs less money to replace you than it does to keep you alive.”#Lol nate chose a shorter and thinner appearance when masking as a human. It makes him look a lot more approachable and his knees don't hurt#Sera... feels somewhat unnerved by his human form. It feels like she's cheating on him somehow. She has him change back when he's home.#He's perfectly happy with that since he doesn't like being disguised much either. He's pleasantly surprised to see that she prefers him#to be true blue. Most previous partners would request him to change into other forms. Sometimes he was even asked to turn into celebrities.#Not fun. Really not fun. He'd eventually associate his true self with something undesirable enough to be rejected over.#ark_systema

on the one hand, there's something enchanting about a one-off tragic love interest who only lasts a single episode... on the other hand, i'm an intense sucker for a slowburn, so every time 15 and rogue were having a moment, i just kept thinking how much more invested i'd be in it if rogue had already been around for a few episodes...
#doctor who#dw#like. admittedly this ep surprised me in a good way bc i wasn't expecting to be satisfied with such a short romance#but their chemistry was great and the sacrifice in the end did hit me#and yet...#i just really prefer my romances with a heavy helping of slowburn development#especially when it comes to the doctor's loves like i just really need time to be taken there#like there are many reasons why i loathe girl in the fireplace and the quickfire romance is but one of them#but it's the biggest reason!!#couldn't help imagining how much MORE it would've been if 15/rogue had this back and forth going for a few eps already#well... there's always fanfiction...

considering what you have spoken about regarding selina do you also get frustrated with like…i cant quite explain it but sometimes especially in more recent years shes been posed or positioned like some sort of damsel that needs a big strong man to save her and like im not saying she should be portrayed with the “hollywood level feminism” for lack of a better term im just think about how old versions of selina would have hated that. like im just thinking of anytime in the reeves movie where bruce grabs her or forces her mouth shut or even when he didnt allow her to kill falcone and im just thinking she should claw the fuck out of him for that. i just miss a version of selina who wouldnt allow anyone to walk all over her personal autonomy like that
oh absolutely! in fact this is specifically why i can't stand loeb's take on her character lol (and as we both know that was a significant point of reference for the reeves film). it's really jarring to transition from her volume one and two canon to the long halloween / dark victory / when in rome. i think a lot of people tend to latch onto these books because tim sale's art is to die for and it's obv hard not to enjoy a good murder mystery. in that aspect they're still books i can enjoy in isolation. but i find it very difficult to enjoy them as a selina fan specifically because in every single one it's like she's looking for solace and security in a man and i'm not sure why. like what was so bad about her original backstory of having a deadbeat dad (whether you ascribe to the volume one or volume two version of him) and why did she need to go looking for her "real" father in carmine falcone. why did she need to seek out temporary boytoy relief in italy. why did she dream about being saved by bruce. none of it really has a reason other than to create a "lack" in her for the sake of it being there, because she'd never needed a man like that before in her post-crisis narrative. as you mentioned it was quite to the contrary and she was fiercely independent and protective of her own peace, esp from men. when she felt empty or without a connection or lifeline to someone real, it was mostly about people like maggie or holly or arizona. her people
what i think it ultimately comes down to are two things: the first thing is the diminishment of her post-crisis origins. after all, it's convenient to ignore how distrustful selina is of people, and of men with power at their leisure to abuse specifically, when her post-crisis origins are no longer relevant to her personal characterization. although selina's status as a sex worker is more prominent now, it was more or less completely swept under the rug for the bulk of volume two. loeb also refused to engage with it in any capacity. it only really resurfaced with the conclusion to volume two because it drew direct parallels to how we initially found her in volume one, and then brubaker expanded on it once again in his take on the character, which was notably juxtaposed against a pre-existing romance with bruce and brings me to the second thing. i've already waxed about this at length so this may very well be recap but i really don't think selina's lack of control over her personal autonomy can be divorced of the modern portrayal of the romance. when selina looking for security and understanding and comfort in bruce is what drives the romance forward there's not much room to maintain her original values and guarded demeanor, if not her outright defensiveness and hostility. a lot of people look at the extensive trauma selina has experienced and argue that she deserves to be in a relationship with someone who allows her to let those walls down. this isn't incorrect in theory. but it does repeatedly ignore who she is. it's kind of like the point i was making about bruce yesterday. exploring the inherently abusive nature of robin or of bruce's right to his children in light of that fact is interesting to do, but the actual execution has rarely managed to take into account who bruce actually is
for however nice it might be for selina to let her walls down romantically and look for solace in bruce—and i say this mostly for the sake of argument, personally i would argue against its necessity—it's realistically not something she's actually going to do. at least not as willfully as she's been portrayed to. realistically she's going to make it extremely hard, which if anything is precisely the appeal. i love it when selina gives bruce a hard time. i love that it's not supposed to be easy or maybe even a possibility for him to win her over bc there's so much about his own ideological stances that's flawed and in opposition to her own. she doesn't have to be any less unrelenting in her principles and worldview for that romance between them to be compelling bc at the end of the day the entire crux of it is that against all odds bruce cares. for however wrong he thinks she might be in a given moment or in her stance against the government, he knows who she is and how hard she's fought and what she's survived and it makes him sympathetic to her because she's real. she's a wonderful character through which to explore the logical limits of bruce's self-righteousness and categorization of crime, as well as a wonderful mirror to hold up to his face as he starts to ask himself whether what he's doing is really the only means of keeping the city safe. and the novelty of it all is that you don't have to sacrifice her character for any of that to be true. writers have simply deluded themselves into believing that they have to and that's why we are where we are today
#you're so real about the reeves movie btw i think she should have kicked him off of a building personally#outbox#also not something i mentioned above but i think a looooot of people cling to bronze age selina#because it was purportedly her first 'positive' portrayal. personally i would argue against that though#i think her golden age iteration was plenty 'positive' and there was an inherent understanding that although she loved supervillainy#she wasn't necessarily evil in a way comparable to other rogues. she always had an inclination towards mercy and bruce Noticed that#which is what made their relationship really interesting. bc she was committing crimes and in his head he was like#yeaaaah she's wrong. but she's also not hurting anyone per se. and she's so pretty. let me turn a blind eye it's fine#these were more generic ideas that newell subsequently rewrapped in new skin and then further developed along a political lens#but i think a lot of people comparatively prefer bronze age selina bc it fully embraced a romance in the most traditional sense#so at the end of the day a lot of the fan sentiment really comes down to preferring wish fulfillment over good storytelling. at least imo#bronze age selina to me is one of the most boring characters ever. and i also hate that she has to 'prove' she's no longer villainous to br#to bruce. and the fact that he suspects her. like since the 40s it's been word of law by the ogs that bruce Doesn't suspect her#he's the first person to not suspect her while everyone around him is judging him for it#i know writers and perspectives change etc etc but when that's what the original creators of both characters are telling you#i feel like it has to hold some weight#so yeah. bronze age might as well be the shit under my shoe it's so boring and bland and most of all ahistorical#bronze age batkat i mean

sidri trevelyan, debuff queen
#i need to do a proper combat writeup but she wasnt raised and/or trained to be a fighter#she was raised to wither in the chantry or be a real housewife of ostwick so no one better expect cassandra levels of combat expertise#she plays a support role as a rogue to take down larger targets and will debuff enemies through poison cantrips the anchor etc etc#when back at skyhold she trains borderline obsessively to gain additional strength (most likely w bull as her preference)

DND: session 1 (The Drug Fog)
Our DM (making his first appearance) immediately opened our session by telling us that the planet we were approaching was covered in a mysterious fog. Seamus looked out into the fog and had to do a wisdom save, which he failed, so he started seeing things. When he said something about the fog didn't seem right, Traps immediately stuck his head into the fog saying, "Really? let me see!" Since it was a wisdom save, I obviously failed it, and was treated to a false memory vision of my childhood, involving a series of woodland animals getting married.
"I think this fog is drugs," I said with full confidence. "I've done drugs before, and I think this is a drug fog." Seamus got fully on board, except HIS theory was that somebody had drugged our beer we were drinking earlier.
A distress signal came through the fog, and a ship pulled up alongside. The man on the ship had an Irish accent, so he and Seamus were buddies for about five seconds, before he introduced himself and his Trading Company further, leading Seamus to characterize them as unjust colonizers. He offered us a great deal of gold to come down and help them with their fog problem. Not only was the fog causing strange and terrible visions, but fifty people had mysteriously been taken in the midst of all this, including everyone from the governor's manor. We were not particularly interested in being helpful, but between him threatening to call the cops on us for being thieves and murderers, and the fact that Hex (who was piloting the ship) is obsessed with gold and murdering, we accepted.
We took a skiff down to the planet, piloted by one of their guys (I was never quite clear on whether there were two or three of them because Irish accent + beardy DM + my bad hearing in group settings was NOT the best time). Amidst the fog, everything was a little off. Anybody who tried to figure out what the fog was got hit with more visions. Hex even had one where they saw our own skiff coming back from the other direction, full of our own dead bodies. I did not have any of these extra visions because I was not trying to figure out the fog because it was OBVIOUSLY a drug fog.
And then the pilot crashed the skiff. Three out of the five of us failed dex saves and got thrown into an iron gate (instantly halving my hit points). And then three out of the five of us failed our wisdom saves and got hit with fog visions of what we feared most. (Seamus and I failed both saves; Paladin Dad failed neither.) Seamus saw his first wife and child, who had died in a fire, and ended up so afraid he was fully petrified and needed to be healed by Paladin Dad, who did this by slapping him and yelling "Get in a fight, Seamus!" Hex saw spiders, and got so afraid, they ran away. I saw my elementary school teacher. [Clearly, Seamus and I take roleplaying very seriously in VERY different ways.] I tried to attack him.
Then a spider in a lab coat, which was probably real and not a vision, started attacking by blasting blue streaks out of its arms, and some human guys started trying to take the bodies of the Irishmen away. Xander and Paladin Dad tried to attack them, but only one type of damage seemed to work on them. Seamus said "Prayer is overrated," and chose to attack instead, and rolled a Nat 1, very nearly injuring himself, while the (priest) DM told him "This is what you get for saying prayer is overrated!" I ran over to the lab coat spider and yelled dramatically, "Spiders can't do science!!" aaaaand immediately stabbed myself in the leg with my rapier because I rolled another Nat 1. At this point, Seamus yelled that we should retreat, so we all joined Hex in fleeing combat towards the manor, as in the background the Irish NPCs got picked up by giant fog hands.
I have 10 hit points. Our paladin has one heal left until we rest. And our cleric-rogue can't come to the next campaign session at all. If I die without ever getting to roll sneak attack damage I will be devastated.
#dnd: rogues in space#but also the tweenager is still so concerned about character death maybe i should get it over for everybody#the dm DID say as we were walking in that he always wanted to do a TPK so i am a little afraid#but also nothing is funnier to me than the idea of getting my character murdered by my priest#also: one thing about this group is that they believe in putting their dice in dice jail when they do bad things#and they are a little confused that i love my d20 that has given me two nat 1s in two sessions#but they are my story dice! sometimes the story is my character is an idiot and bad things happen to him!#i prefer a story where the heroes suffer sometimes!#it makes the good dice rolls way more fun#i feel like this particular die rolls nat 1s more than it rolls regular 2s and 3s but that is FUN#and it rolls its fair share of mid and high numbers too#just not ALL the time

A lot can be said about the Doctor and Rogue's kiss, and if it is or isn't a first for the show, but there's no denying one thing: Russell T. Davies puts his money where his mouth is:
After years of insinuations, throw-away lines, kisses that conveniently only happen once one of the characters changes their gender (looking at you Missy. I love you I miss you but come on), and, especially, after all of the wasted potential of Yas and the Doctor, where both actresses were fully on board with a romance and the text seemed to support it but they didn't even get a kiss, my man Russell did it in, what, 4 episodes?
Congrats to Doctor Yaoi, you will always be famous
#i personally dont like it when the doctor gets a romance. maybe its the asexual in me idk but i prefer it when the show is about friendship#but oh boy i hope rogue becomes a long time romantic interest. one of those canon just cant erase#like rose or river. the ones that make the doctor truly feel like he lost everything once they leave

Dark Earth Zodiac
The Underearth
The Underearth is a place of slow-shifting roots, the quietest and most constant life of the forest. Those who find themselves aligned with the Underearth are those who find their truest selves not in the eyes of another or the light of the sun, but in private acts of creation. They tend to be dutiful, capable, and thoughtful, whilst also often being slow to change, awkward, and anxious. While many pass the Underearth by without notice, those few who make it past topsoil and into the heart below are held dear. It is rare that someone can delve to the true center of those under this sign. The earth keeps its secrets close to its chest-- sometimes, so deep that it cannot find them when it does choose to look. The Underearth are devoted to their work, able to criticize and peek and prod just where it needs, but they have no such luck with probing the self. People under this sign can be enormously generous. Though less showy than some of the other signs, when the Underearth does choose to shine, they are like a clean cut gem, brilliant, sharp, and precious. They tend to favor gifts of their own making, paying close attention to what it is that delights those around them. They prefer to avoid being the center of attention themselves, however, and often do not know how to react to being shown the same care that they show to those they love.
Tagged by: @mirrordread (thank you!!! ♡) Tagging: @question-marked, @umbrellamedic and whoever would like to do it?
#🐍 || dashboard games#🐍 || memes#I was surprised by this answer but it's so accurate?#This is pretty apt and in Copperhead being a more undercover person#He's one of those rogues that prefers not being the center of attention and not knowing how to react to being shown care???#That's so him 🥺#Thank you for tagging me Holly you are the best <3#Feeling a bit better this morning and not nearly in so such pain :)

I had been toying with the idea of rewatching the Kenobi series because I’d always intended to (I long suspected it would be a better binge than an episodic release), came really close to starting it on Saturday - but I genuinely don’t think I can make it all the way through without completely losing my mind again that they crib an entire episode from Fallen Order and then never mention it.
And then they had the audacity to set Survivor at approximately the same time, so what now every time Vader’s offscreen I have to be like ‘oh is this when he’s on his little side quest to murder my favorite character’ like what did I do to deserve this
*I’m aware they’re just set in the same year and there is probably some confirmation of the timeline but I’m deep in Survivor avoidance mode so I will have to live with the uncertainty
actually, second thought, having Survivor take place after would add so much to the unintended humor of essentially copy-and-pasting Fallen Order (the unintended humor being the only saving grace of this creative decision) imagine Vader gets through the whole thing and when he’s back in his little sadness recovery pod he’s like ‘well that fucking sucked, and I’m down another Inquisitor due to a last hour turn back to the light, the last time this happened, oh yeah, some dumbass Jedi broke my fortress and dropped the ocean on me so this has happened twice...hang on, did I ever get revenge for that? You know, I don’t think I did...”
#i know the details I'm just preferring to imagine it this way for humorous purposes#and like almost similar to the way rogue one made vader's fury in new hope make so much more sense#i really feel like this adds something#jedi fallen order#jedi survivor spoilers#obi-wan kenobi series

why is ur tav in mintharas clothes
Because she knocked Minthara out and stole all her stuff, of course.
Hel [my gal in the sidebar] very much does not like Minthara for lore reasons <3333
[edit: she is not my sidebar rn but the point still stands lol]
#She also didn't *kill* Minthara for Character Lore Reasons#also she needed cuter camp clothes tho so I stole Minthara's lmfao#only complaint with game.... more cute clothes#I feel bad stealing from my companions lol#except Astarion. He's off limits for cute clothes theft#everyone else is fair game though#my dad and I have a save file together actually. I stole Lae'zel's clothes and he stole Shadowheart's XD and I dyed mine#that file is extra funny tho because we're ''the party nobody will speak to''#it has my girl- Wisteria; a seldarine drow cleric- his gal; a draconic ancestry githyanki sorcerer#then Karlach and Astarion. so a tiefling and a vampire spawn#it's deeply hilarious we have a great time#we have another file where he hosts [I host the other one] and he's a half wood elf barbarian iirc. I'm a tiefling cleric#you may notice I very much enjoy clerics. because I do. Sorcerer and cleric are my favourite classes#dad prefers non-casters. rogue tends to be his fav but BG3 is actually interesting him in experimenting!!!#it's so fun :D I hope we get cross platform play soon#then I can play with my brother too and the three of us can groove
