#the signs are pointing to them workign together

[robotsandramblings]

so there's a VERY good chance that Wolffe is one of Rex/Echo's contacts/spies in the Empire. and S02E15 has evidence!!

i present to you, from "The Summit" episode, Barton Coburn. a face we've seen before in The Clone Wars series.

he is named in the credits as "Barton Coburn". he was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker himself, who voiced him in previous TCW episodes. he speaks up in favour of the clones. there is barely any reason to doubt this isn't the same Admiral Coburn from TCW...

yes!! the very same admiral who served with Plo Koon, Commander Wolffe, and the 104th during the Clone Wars.

Tech says he can find virtually nothing on Hemlock, and yet, a contact of Echo's knows about this super secret summit meeting on Eriadu and Hemlock attending... and Coburn himself attended that very same summit meeting...

[tatsumi-harem-chronicles]

conceept fic where his plans were to bring abt the downfall of gatekeeper and godfather's legacy but now that hes been restrained/tied odwn gatekeeper is making his move trying to drag him down and forcing him to trek his way through hell on a war path meanwhile ra * bits have realized somethings up w nii chan and are trying to throw him a suprise party to cheer him up and their moments r usually full of cute mistakes and little moments of trying to set up a party despite their lack of skillsets or knowledge on how but their enthusiasum makes up for it in leaps and bounds all comically spliced with himeru like dying or something but its fine bc at least ra * bits' plotline is going good rt? …rt? but actually no! bc the decorations/preparations for the party all start falling apart bit by bit and by the time nazuna arrives everything is just in shambles and while everything is falling apart himeru's situation keeps escalating until its to a point that the only way to escape is at risk of life and limb and then. and then it cuts to nazuna pov, the one we havent seen before. the chaos and splicing and mind crashing disaster of everything before it coming to a halt as a short, simple, evenly paced narrative starts up. it turns out, nazuna is get threatened by some higher ups (either in the business or idol world) bc of something abt his past (id make that up) and the higher ups using both ra * bits and valkayrie as collateral and he has a tentative agreement with them to do something (some sorta shady task) for their safety, which he is agonizing over when tomoya finds him. he cant let the kids know what kind of a bind hes in so he puts on a mask, hoping to hide his distress for a bit longer until it all brushes over. he has a feelign it didnt work well enough bc tomoya drags him off, saying he has a suprise, saying theyve been working on something and for a split second, nazuna thinks abt saying no. he cant deal with this rn, he needs to get the task done asap-- but how could he ever say no to his rabbits? they're just children, they don't know any better. so he follows, and he is just met with a mess all kinds of things are in dissarray and need to be cleaned, the space is ruined which the contractor/owner/rent-out-er of the building definitely would not like, and all the shit thats in front of him, the ruin and disaster, puts up a weak front. it could be taken as a sign of weakness, a calling card for those snakes to strike and suck his babies clean of any life or blood. and eh just he can't he excuses himself, runs off to somewhere and nowhere, just wanting to be alone. wondering why he would do something thatd make the boys worry so much. perhaps he should go back? let them know hes okay? but hes not, absolutely not. if he goes backhe…. he doesnt know if he would be able to hold himself upright anymroe and then someone else comes into the alley, and he has the immediate instinct to run away, dont let anyoen see you except except its someone he knows, someone hes talked to so many times, someone he knows wouldnt hurt him nor even really care abt his state rn its himeru and they look like shit wait fuck is that blood? so yea then they talk, patch wounds, heart to heart abt their kids, and then realize that the ppl targeting both of them r actually workign together (after a lot of piece-ins abt who was after them) and so they make a plan, to wreck shit upon thine enemies and it works! hurray! happy end! gatekeeper? slain. children? safe. nii chans? friends [edited in later: (?) (and mabye kiss? 👀)]! huzzah! :D

and then they kiss /joke but also :cantdothis:

👀and then they kiss?

GhsdbJDBFKCNV

this could probs work better w rinne tbh but 1. theres alrdy a himerinne rinne sticks his nose into the kaname shit fic and 2. nazuna, so i can bullshit as much bs as i want i can make it work (same tone as "i can fix him" but in this context its more like "i can fics him (by destroying him, mentally :D)"

:LiveHIMERUReaction:

[anon]i am sad that made me sad :Sob:😭😭 happy end my ass im sad now 😭😭

if i ever write this out properly ill make sure the scene changes r as jarring and tone-un-collective as possible in order to build proper suspicion/suspense while also lulling readers into a false sense of security as the good things slowly take over their minds as a reminder of "well at least some good is happening?" only to tear that away when their "good" reality starts breaking to pieces :D

[goldthatglistens]

For some reason I started writing down whatever was in my head when I was watching Black Sails and sleep deprived and this is what happened:

Now you have everyone’s eyes where you want them. What happens next? I wish to speak on behalf of the defendent. The power you’ve given them. That the prisoner before you. For those of you who live to see tomorrow, know that you had a choice to see that the truth and you let yourself be convinced otherwhies. Stay down. Fire. How are they so good at fighting? I’m so confused. Peter Ashe. Her word with be the last hope for this place. Move. What? They’ve engaged the blockade. I’ll take my chances sailing. Oh my goodness. What? I gave you an order? What is your problem. Where are his key’s? And has he seen them since he took me away from my men. Shouting. Gunfire. More screams. Billy Bragg. I legit can’t believe he is in so many shows. Take him to Howell. Help me. If those ships flank us, they’ll have us. Gun crews at the ready. Fire at will. How did that happen? WHo did they conspire against. How did two pirates fight  literally everyone in town. I don;t understand. They’re over there. This is probably the most unrealistic part. People screaming. The buildings on the right, every building. Look down there. Cannons boombing. This is literally chaos. I don’t understand how people. He sets the m free. Move. There is so much chaos, how do they even know who the pirates are? How did they not runinto them. They are really leading their reputation. I wonder if Peter Ashe was a real person? Fire! Get them both. Men. Take aim. Behidn them. Wait, what the fuck happened? Why didn’t he fire? How are they not getting hit by the cannonballs? What did they do to his leg? Somone give him some rum. Somone should just knock him out. Oh my lord that is nasty. I think they need to cut it off. How is he still talking and not screaming. What does that mean?W hat does that mean? They should knock him out omg. Why don’t they. Don’t they have things. But it’s under control now. Release those men. What/ I know what happened and I don’t care, I won’t hold pirates prisoner on my ship and I wont again . Ready the guns, full compliment. Whatever’s left. They are really going to town. Charles Vane is just chill there. I can do it wiht as few as three or four men. I don’t want this. I don’t want this. You’ll die. This way there is a very good chance to prevent this. I don’t understand how cutting off can make it better? Also, how did they do that much damage with just a hammer? I guess hammers are really heavy. Oh wow, this is more graphic than I thought. Wow. Did this actually happen to Charles Town? Is this in penssylvania. Literally everything is being blown apart. Yikes that must suck to be Lord Ashe. But he betrayed them? I really don’t understand what is so bad. HOw are they sawing his foot off when he’s still alvie? Why the fuck didn’t they knock him out? Or why didn’t he pass out. I am so confused. How do they stop the blood? How did they stop the infection? His eyebrows look weird, I think that’s why he looks weird. Also, he should shave off that ugly mostashe. Also, bwhy did they put him on the bed. At least he lived, I guess. Just south of Inagua. Winds blew us east. We stopped at tortuga to refit and garner news which there was plenty. Elanor Guthrie has been arrested. In teh custody of His Majesty’s Navy. There is no Guthrie in Nasseau. Did Guthrie actually exist? Try and act suprised. That’s nice that they coted. THe more those men need you, the more you need them. It drives us to do the most unexpected things. There’s something you’d ought to know before we reached nassea. I’m sorry I’m having a hard time. He lied to us all. And then he sold the information to the other crew so that he could retrieve the gold. WHo the fuck did he sell it to. Mr. Jack Rackham. Oh gotd thats an ugly child. I guess its a boy. Max is honestly so annoying. Honestly, Jack is the best. The information was incomplete at best and they fought like hell. Is that the. We needed the hold space? OMG he got it. I can’t believe it. WHy did the spanish soldeir  figiht. Also, why would the king get so much money. What happen to Elinor Guthrie. What is Carolina? Oh, I bet this is the British dude. Oh wow, those are good brothers. Eww look at his beard. Everythign moves towards its end. I feel like clocks are a symbol. I explained all this to Mary who said she understood. Well, you’re here. I can think of at least three lies. First, I amge she told you I retired from a prosperous trade. The trade was piracy. Second she told you my name was drummond, she clearly led you to believe that you could point your sword in my direction and survive the experience. Yikes. It’s not their fault. This too was somethign less than the truth. There is definitly a similar way they introduce pirates. They start with the bad and then go on to add more layers. Also, was there an intro to every episode, because if so I missed it lol. Who are these masked leaders. Those are the same signs that arthur uses in the once and future king. What the hell is happening. Is this blackbeard? What happened to the gold? Where is Jack Rackham. Jack Rackham is my favorite because he’s funny lol. Oh my goodness are they saving Eleanor guthrie. Oops thats some other blonde woman. OMG thsi is flint. Who are these old farts? Hazzard the magistrate. Their magistrates hagned men for piracy. Fint has gone crazy and SHAVED off all of his hair. I don’t understand why flint is so gungho about saving all the pirates after they are dead? I wagered that despite all I heard about you that you could tell the difference. Why the fuck did he kill him? Oh my goodness, Flint has really gone off the rails. What happened? When he lost his hair, he lost his sense of justice or something. I thin he is being reminded of Miranda. I guess without Miranda he has nothing left as an ancor to humanity. Hoenstly, I just want captain vane and flint workign together. Why does Long John Silver have that ugly ass neck beard? Don’t enable Flint Billy. Charles Vane is very pretty. HE is gathering the slaves. Charles Vane does not like slavery. I forgot how scary the pirates are. Why did that dude just give up? How was Charles Vane a slave? Like how did that happen? HE’s white? Who enslaved him. Oh my goodness, I would rather just get shot. 

[divinikey]

the timeline in which they had a person in their life when they needed one the most.

MEME. ; under read more because it became Long.

wherein layla heartfilia lives, lucy has wanderlust, jude heartfilia is a better businessman and everyone is collectively happier.

in this timeline---layla heartfilia has the aquarius key. layla heartfilia survives and the dragons comes through the gate and she has fulfilled her destiny. many heartfilia women knew the tale and since she was a child, this task was of utmost importance. in fact, until she met jude, she did not know if she even wanted to have children: her own mothers and their mothers etc; had burdened every daughter with the task of saving all of humanity through their celestial spirit magic.

but, then she met jude. and the idea of a family became something less burdensome, something that did not have the same connotations as what her own family was. and so: lucy heartfilia was born. in x777, layla did her duty with her keys and the stage was set.

in x777 layla released all her keys from her contract and was officially free of her own family’s destiny. she hugged her daughter tight and lucy made a friend that in another life, was an enemy: brandish. layla never died so grammi was never murdered by zoledo.

in x778, lucy expressed the wish to want to be a mage and use magic. layla, tactful as well as fearful, had her tutored for light magic through various books. of course, after teaching her the basics of all magic: the One Magic. she did not want her daughter to touch celestial spirit magic--the old burden still very fresh. so, caster magic it was.

in x779, lucy started to use magic, as well as brandish and the two would often play fight whenever grammi brought brandish over. nothing extreme, more just practicing spells. lucy was always a bright child and her writing had become even better and layla and jude could not be more proud of their daughter.

in x780, lucy and brandish wrote to each other often with brandish and her mother travelling. lucy missed her friend dearly and layla would make more effort in having her daughter feel less alone. in this timeline, lucy never felt neglected or unwanted: she felt loved and cherished. she was a bit more spoiled in this timeline, but still had a heart of gold and would often look for places where she wanted the heartfilia clan’s money to help aid. the orphan crisis from war, hungry people, the homeless crisis. all of it with good solutions that layla would read over before signing.

in x781, lucy’s light magic has been blossoming. layla and jude make the decision to seek a competent light magic user to fully tutor their daughter. nothing but the best for the daughter of the heartfilia konzern. even if the legality is covered in shades of gray they reach out to ivan dreyar, who was known to be intelligent and one of the very best who was independent. he agrees and lucy heartfilia meets ivan dreyar. in this year, lucy writes often to brandish about how smart her tutor is but also how much he expects of her which is a lot. lucy, always the optimist and hardworking, reaches each and every one of his goals.

in x782, brandish and grammi come back and ivan immediately has her battle brandish. the fight ends with a tie and ivan says the next time, lucy will win. lucy and brandish are still good friends and they spend a lot of time exchanging stories. lucy gets a taste of wanderlust from hearing of grammi and brandish’s travels. layla and jude watch their only daughter with pride as she becomes a stronger mage. layla attempts to reintroduce ivan in what conversations with adults are like and encourages him to speak and have a relationship with his son and mother. lucy also uses her magic in public for the first time. she also meets her first professional mages at a chairty event Gone Wrong when dark mages try to steal the money. she meets the strauss siblings of fairy tail and becomes enamored with them all (to ivan’s displeasure). the three of them keep up a correspondence with her from there on.

in x783, lucy’s wanderlust caught up to her and she wants to travel to a different part of fiore, at the very least. without her parents and ivan (who, at this point, is something of a third parent). her parents agree only after hiring mages to accompany her, should anything go wrong as she is a rich heiress. the mages they hire? the strauss siblings, who take this instead of an s-class quest since this one both pays more and they get to travel with lucy. ivan quietly broods as layla pours him some tea and jude asks him for his opinion on a business partner. there’s a reason why lucy thinks of him as a third parent. lucy meets her tutor’s son, laxus, when he visits. laxus is something of a jerk and lucy kicks him after ten minutes of meeting him. this makes laxus laugh and the two become friends as laxus and ivan restart their own familial relationship.

in x784, brandish and grammi return yet again and the two have missed each other a lot. lucy tells brandish of her crush on mira and brandish offers to confess to mirajane for lucy, to which lucy finally beats her in a battle. brandish and lucy both attend magnolia’s fantasia parade and lucy meets other ft members and also threatens makarov dreyar (to the amusement of both ivan and laxus. and to her parent’s quiet approval.). at the end of the summer of that year, key people from fairy tail dissappear and lucy regrets never telling mirajane how she felt about her. she and ivan both grieve and she comes out to ivan first, who then informs her that her parents would love her no matter what at this point, and lucy comes out to them. as always, ivan is right.

in x785, lucy heartfilia at 18 can finally go places without any supervision from her parents, her ivan, or people hired by her parents. she uses this time to travel around and have her own adventures as an independent mage (who does Not accept any cash from people). she writes home often, but does not return there. strangely, ivan is still there. she ends up meeting people from guilds: she runs into lamia scale’s team lyon and enjoys them all and trades stories with them. she pays for dinner. she meets some quatro cerberus members and parties with them and is hungover for two days after partying it up with DJ Hook Wizard Puppy. DJHWP is also responsible for hooking her up with a mage from MH, Viviana Webb.

in x786, Lucy stays closer to one place for the first time since travelling, but she has not joined a guild, nor has she returned home yet. ivan is still living at the Heartfilia compound. after ten months of dating, her and viviana webb break up on amicable terms. lucy once more, begins her travels and goes to iceberg. there, she meets a lot of different people and becomes more academically inclined here and goes to a higher learning facility, to ivan’s immense joy.

in x787, lucy runs into sherry blendy of lamia scale while they are both in iceberg. lucy and sherry hang out when sherry is not doing official business and both spend some time together. lucy gives sherry an open invitation to her apartment in iceberg. she also develops the tiniest of crushes on the Tragically Straight sherry blendy, but she does not regret it at all. it has been a decade since layla was freed of her ancestor’s destiny and she tells ivan the circumstances after two years of being in a relationship with him. ivan looks more into both the disappearances of tenrou, rumors of dragon sightings and dragon slayers. 

in x788, layla, jude and ivan make a visit to lucy in iceberg where she is presenting magical research she worked on at school with two professor and three students. they all are proud. lucy also learns that her tutor is dating both of her parents and all three of them are happy. later that year, DJ visits her by accident because he thought of her and missed her and she shows him what she has been working on as well as about her life here. she learns of the GMG in fiore and promises him she will go one year and cheer him on. after she graduates of course. lucy also is asked out by a fellow student, who she has been workign with and the two begin dating.

in x789, lucy and her girlfriend, gabrielle, move in together at the start of the year. well, gabrielle moves into lucy’s condo. lucy meets gabrielle’s family and brandish visits and is happy for lucy. the three of them go on a legendary bar crawl in iceberg that ends with all three of them laugh crying in the condo’s living room until they cuddle together and sleep. at the end of the summer, lucy graduates with honors with gabriella and all three of her parents are proud of her.

in x790, lucy finally attends the GMG and laughs at DJ’s shout outs to her as he is an announcer. gabrielle joins her in crocus and they make a vacation out of it. they watch as saberooth wins. sherry and viviana both tease her for supporting QC instead of lamia scale or mermaid heel and gabrielle laughs at her gf’s embarrassment. lucy is happy and her and gabrielle make it to the heartfilia compound at the conclusion of the games.

in x791, gabrielle proposes to lucy in the spring. lucy, who isnt ready for such a permanent life decision, rejects her. the two have a deep talk afterwards and once more, lucy amibably breaks up with her girlfriend. she goes back to fiore and finds out sherry is dating lyon vastia and makes her way to zinnia demanding details. in june, she returns home for a bit and ivan sits her down and explains that the GMG has something going on. he, layla and jude are going to investigate and since lucy is an adult, technically, she can join them. she does. when key fairy tail members return, both her and ivan go to magnolia and lucy is reunited with the strauss siblings as laxus and ivan are reunited with each other. during the games layla realizes that toma e. fiore went back on his word and in return, has Words with him with her husband and boyfriend watching. lucy takes photos. then, dragons come and well---it descalates from there and lucy works with the strauss siblings and DJ to help. when tatarus attacks, she is with the strauss siblings catching up and she aids in the crisis they present. she does a lot of releif work and ensuring the safety of others. her parents all give money to the destroyed home and her parents  begin to quietly investigate makarov’s movements. brandish and grammi give them grave news about the alvarex empire.

in x792, lucy spends a lot of time with the strauss siblings and finds herself around fairies a lot. she is teased a lot by laxus and the best response she has for him is that he is a mean step brother. which shuts him up easily. lucy meets more ft members and becomes instantly a fan of erza scarlet, a fellow sweet tooth. cana alberona is a fun one to drink with and lucy learns that because she did one bar crawl in iceberg did not mean that she could keep up with cana alberona. she meets lisanna’s best friend natsu and finds him simply wild but also fun to hang around with. her parents give the members of ft who were left without jobs various jobs and lucy gives some of them contacts where they can get work to keep afloat. brandish comes back from her travels without grammi. lucy helps her best friend plan a funeral that has no body.

fiore is given warning as alarez descends upon them. lucy finds herself fighting in hargeon with lamia scale with brandish by her side. ivan called in contacts of mages he used to know and it helps tip the battle in their favor. when acnologia descens upon them all, layla heartfilia’s heart almost gives out, but she along with levy mcgarden, work to make fairy sphere happen. acnologia is killed and layla, jude and ivan all hug each other. 

in x793, lucy does not live at home but she does stay in fiore. her and brandish live somewhat permanently in crocus, but the pair travel together more often than not. lucy uses her degree from iceberg and expands upon it at ivan’s behest and she does more research on ancient magics. she visits the strauss siblings a lot but soon, it becomes her and mirajane spending more and more time together. lucy does more research on transformation magic and discovers that mirajane is a prodigy at it but also: she was pushed to hard too quickly for the amount of souls. this turns into an intervention with mirajane about her magic and lucy takes it to ivan. all three of her parents present a case against makarov, aided by her step-grandmother, porlyusica stryne. in the end, fairy tail is disbanded for good by the council.

in x794, mirajane joins lucy at a conference in iceberg because lucy found out mira had never been. mira meets gabrielle and all of lucy’s friend and lucy easily translate. at the conference, the two hit it off more than expected and mirajane flirts endlessly with lucy. by the time they return to fiore, lucy moves in with mirajane where she is working for QC now, under the tutelage of Goldmine. DJ has never been happier.

lucy heartfilia grew up loved and happy. by the time she wrote her first fictional book, it is an lgbt romance between a demon and a princess. some may like to draw parallels to her life and the ones of the main protagonists, but the only character that was based off of lucy was an old hermit witch who never settled down. 

[stardust9905]

Wait wait wait this actually makes so much sense- 🤔

Yet another reason why i think TBB deserves more than so few as 3 seasons. It has SO MUCH potential.

*impending thoughts/infodump ahead*

Like not just potential for TBB members as characters, but also expanding on their past; especially in comparison to the regs' pasts (like how we got a couple glimpses of the regs' cadet years in TCW); as well as building on TBB's relationship between not only themselves (as there's still A LOT to be repaired and reconciled between all of them), but also TBB's relationship with regs as well.

Sure that relationship would never be perfect, but say with a few select reg clones. Like Rex, Cody (we never actually found out what happened to him yet), there's yet to be seen any reconnect/possible building of connection with Howzer and Gregor on-screen (aside from when Echo, Gregor and co. work to rescue Howzer and co.)

Moreover possibly having a brotherly bond between Wolffe and TBB.

Bearing all this in mind as well... Echo is a part of TBB. Echo was also a reg before. Part of these relationships/connections with other reg brothers are not so estranged for him as they are/would be for the rest of TBB.

Expanding on all this would also do a lot for, yes all TBB members overall, but for Echo especially. There's still so many routes this show has the potential for without messing up the overall timeline.

Plus it's the most successful show thus far (in comparison to the other shows, which have either gone downhill or been discontinued. I love The Mandalorian, don't get me wrong, but TBB has still managed to beat it any day).

Seriously am going to miss this show after the 3rd season and no i am not over my shock still from when they'd made the announcement 😭. Honestly am hoping it will change and that S3 will be so successful that they'll change their minds and do more seasons afterwards 😭🤞🤞.

so there's a VERY good chance that Wolffe is one of Rex/Echo's contacts/spies in the Empire. and S02E15 has evidence!!

i present to you, from "The Summit" episode, Barton Coburn. a face we've seen before in The Clone Wars series.

he is named in the credits as "Barton Coburn". he was voiced by Dee Bradley Baker himself, who voiced him in previous TCW episodes. he speaks up in favour of the clones. there is barely any reason to doubt this isn't the same Admiral Coburn from TCW...
