more in the vein of "corries try to make leave a pleasant time for GAR troopers and GAR troopers understand the stress they're under", i like to think of some corries being a bit mischievous and tricking them into eating something that tastes super bad or something that's meant to look like an object, like edible paper. and i also like to think of GAR troopers having a small game of seeing who can convince the most corries to join in on the fun they set up for everyone else instead of sitting by and monitoring. for example, wolffe gets fox to join him in playing some sport (that the corries found civilians playing and sorta changed it to be more fun for clones), and this causes thorn to join, so several of fox and thorn's men join, so wolffe is winning. but to him, fox having fun (safely) is sort of its own win

Ok, so this is the wall, in my bedroom which consists of many many fandoms or just topics I have grown to enjoy over time. A couple are outdated considering now, but they were pretty special to me when painting it. The wall was finished in 2023 on June 15.

Many were made by printing the logos/designs on my printer, tracing the backs really hard in a pencil, and then firmly pressing each design onto the wall so I had a stencil of what I was coloring in. Many are just designs I found on the internet at the time and others are just logos or things I thought would be a good symbol for said fixation at the time.

Did I want it to look different at the beginning? Yes, originally it was going to be the symbols or main characters in one big collage but I realized that I have zero art skills and it wouldn't ever be accomplished so I made the design more simple and now I really like how it turned out.

Do I wish a few were different now because of time or lack of interest? Yes and no. Yes, because I either don't like a certain topic at all anymore or I just could have something that I think represents me more on there but for right now I'm okay with how it is. No, because I look at this wall every day of my life, and seeing a certain square can remind me of a specific time in my life that I really enjoyed and I love that feeling.

Do I think that some of the squares are a little cringe now over time and how I have changed as a person? Absolutely but I could never ever get myself to get rid of those ones because they might be looked upon as weird or cringe now but at the time they helped me get through so many tough times that I can't get myself to get rid of those.

A few of these squares will definitely be changed but at least 97% of them I love seeing every day because of the memories and good times. I love my wall and it represents what I've liked over the years and that's okay. You should be able to like what you want without being criticized for it, hell I've debated posting this because I was scared that people were going laugh at the things on there but to be honest? Let me laugh with you as I remember how that square I cringe on now or how that square I would defend with my life. Just be you, that's all.

What are the fixations that are on the wall, and do I still want them there? I'll tell ya starting from the top right corner.

Part 1(This one), Part 2

tactical droid vs clone culture

I was thinking about how General Kalani is one of the only droids with an actual (non-serial number-related) name, and I looked up the super tactical droid wookiepedia page:

and huh! of the four known ST droids, three of them have obviously individual names, and given that their serials would be ST-something, Aut-0 is probably a name too!

(Aut-0's name also seems to demonstrate that he has some sort of sense of humor, and Kraken's paint is suspiciously kraken-looking.)

a bit of further delving found pictures for Kalani, Kraken, and Aut-0 (Linwodo doesn't seem to appear in any visual media).

not only do they all have individual names, they also seem to have unique paint!

now, basic tactical droids do have some distinguishing symbols, but these tend to be simple central lines or logos - just enough to be distinguished.

since ST droids are pretty easily distinguishable from tactical droids (and there'd only really be one on the battlefield anyways), and none of their units have anything similar design-wise, we can conclude that the ST droids' paint is an individual choice.

I doubt Dooku would be busy painting and naming his tactical droids either, so they most likely named and painted each other and themselves...

...much like a certain other batch of beings-not-formally-recognized-as-sentient.

[lightasthesun]

the real reason Cody isn't wearing a kama (unlike the rest of the command batch) is because it would be in the way of his very ..physical fighting style and it would defuse the purpose of his thunder thighs.

[cheezyharu]

Ok. Ow. That was a struggle.

Arguably Zero was less of struggle than... *Shudders* Elusive Enforcer, who I am still struggling with and is still leaving in the WIP ditch. But either way yeah. Yeah I think this guy is fine enough ig.

[circle-around-again]

"'Deenine, do you know if Master Sidious intends to kill me?' 'I don't think so,' TD-D9 replied. 'He has invested so much time into your training that I suspect he wants you to stay alive.'" (Windham, 62).

Maul is told that the only reason why Sidious wants him is the sunk cost fallacy.

Given the events of TPM this becomes awful dramatic irony.

[leenfiend]

If i was a stronger person i would draw a sing-a-long comic of keith doing a rendition of i wont say im in love from Hercules but im not so i never will but u can think about it

[veny-many]

Bacara who is eating alone because he can't communicate with his mans with Mando'a : This is fine. It's not like loneliness kill me in the middle of the dinner.

CT : Can I join you Sir?

Bacara : No need. Just go back to your brother or something.

CT : But you're also our 'tat'.

Bacara :

Bacara : (fighting his sudden tear burst and failing) Where... Where the kark did you learn that language!?

@bioexorcizm NO YOU'RE ABSOLUTELY RIGHT AND THAT'S ONE OF MY FAVE TROPES TOO!!

I'm not saying Brea would be a baaaad teacher per se 😅😅 but her training is certainly very 'hands on'! And Kepler being the scared boy that he is, doesn't always take to it very well. Especially in the situation that they're in, where because of the circumstances he's basically being FORCED into this position when he's not ready.

But the most important thing for the both of them is that Brea is there to catch him when he falls 🥺 it takes a while for him to trust that she'll still be there when he loses his footing, when he trips over his own robes, when he makes mistakes (and he makes a LOT, but then...so does she.) But when he does, having that security and trust in someone does way more for his growth than anything else ever has

[tiend]

One more for the "average clones can't speak mando'a" side: imagining what would happen to them if they got caught speaking a language the Kaminoans don't know and didn't flash-train into them.

[artofbeans]

My enamel pins for the Calgary Expo are finally finished and have been shipped! Come visit me at table A5003 to say hi and grab yourself one!

Droids-In-Training Play At Galaxy's Edge

BD-1 model Disney Imagineering debuted adorable free-roaming droids — which they call “droids-in-training” — to interact with guests inside Disneyland’s Star Wars–themed Galaxy’s Edge land in Anaheim, California recently. I saw them and they are cool and cute, and astonishing! The charming little robots resemble BD-1, a droid character created for the game Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order,…
