#trixree watches Rebels

[trixree]

On season 2 of Star Wars Rebels for the very first time. Here are my very important and original takes:

Hera is Mother.

Kanan is the dad with Baggage who doesn't quite know how to Bond with his Boy but he's trying really hard!! He's trying SO hard!!! (It's really hard to watch)

Kanan is probably always asking Ezra if he wants to play ball out back. No Kanan, he wants to shoot guns and steal a tie fighter. He does not want to toss around the ball with you.

Zeb, Ezra, and Chopper have the vibes of a trio of brothers that operate under Gallagher rules. Their space tiktoks are probably fucking insufferable. Nothing but prank videos all around. Chopper's pranks are all questionably legal

Sabine is their cool lesbian sister of the family. I want the world for her. Everytime she's in a combat scene I shout "MANDOS CARRY" at my partner until we both devolve into chanting it

Chopper has killed for sport and enjoyed it. He will kill again

Rex is the fun uncle that tells Ezra all the graphic Clone War stories he wants and let's him try a sip of his space moonshine because he thinks it will be funny when Ezra does a violent spit-take. (He's right and it's hilarious).

Hera LOVES Rex, he reminds her of her childhood in a Good Way, and this gives Kanan hives because of his Trauma. He is always spying on them in painfully obvious ways when all they're doing is like. Playing that holochess thingie and shooting the shit about the Clone Wars.

I know Maul shows up eventually and I am so fucking excited for what he is going to add to this dynamic

✩ WEEKLY FIC ROUND-UP ✩

All the fics I've read and really enjoyed in the past week-ish. Reminder: This list features any and all ratings and themes. Please read the tags and warnings before deciding if the fic is for you.

DC (Batman)

Only in Gotham: Craft Store Edition by carolina_batboys

Bowie Chandler is literally just trying to pay her Gotham U tuition by working overnight shifts at Gotham’s 24/7 craft store. That’s all. That’s IT.

Then the bats start dropping in, and her job gets a lot more complicated.

the grief wheel by dustorange

“I couldn’t save you,” Alfred whimpered, fingers slipping out of Bruce’s. “I could never—”

(Alfred gets trapped in a time loop of the night that Bruce's parents die. For Bad Thing Happen Bingo: Time Loop).

ATLA

Laundry Day by Hello_Spikey (+ podfic)

Shortly after rescuing Suki from Boiling Rock, Katara introduces her to the spectacle, the magnificence, that is Zuko doing laundry with his shirt off. Sokka has to explain to Zuko why the girls are even watching him. Zuko is remarkably slow on the uptake. Poor Sokka.

Star Wars: Original Trilogy

The Rod is Mightier Than the Lightsaber by Anonymous

In which Luke sacrifices himself on Cymoon-1 to make sure everyone else gets away, and Vader takes things too far before figuring out that this insolent young Rebel is his son.

Compromising by samvelg

Five times Admiral Piett misunderstands the nature of Luke and Vader's relationship, and the one time he doesn't.

Clone Wars

A Treatise on Breaking and Repairs by glimmerglanger

Obi-Wan Kenobi survives for three years on Tatooine before Vader finds him and takes him back to Mustafar, where Vader has already gathered members of the 212th. Things... don't go well for anyone.

OR: The oof!au. Heavy whump leading to an eventual happy(ish) ending. Please mind all the warnings. Written for the first 16 days of whumptober, so each chapter has it's own prompt, but they are an interconnected, completed story.

The Other Side by RobinRoost

There was a door in the bottom of the temple that was always closed. All the Younglings told stories about what was on the other side of it. For as long as most of the padawans and initiates could remember, it had been locked. No amount of slicing, prying, or force pushing could open it.

Anakin asked Master Qui-Gon about it once. His Master’s (though not the same type of master as before) face grew cold and distant and told him never to mention it again. What was behind that door was dangerous and a threat to the stability of the galaxy.

Obviously, he had to investigate.

What Friends Do by Trixree

“You have a choice,” Cody begins. “I don’t want any of you to think that you don’t. If you want no part of this, all you have to do is say so. But if I know any of you half as well as I think I do, this choice won’t be particularly hard to make.”

He takes a deep breath and counts his heartbeats against the reverent silence of the mess hall. “We may belong to the Republic, but we were made for the Jetti.”

And thus, the 212th Attack Battalion abducts their General. (It's for his own health, really.)

Displacement by missmollyetc (+ podfic)

A moment in the exciting lives of Waxer, Boil, and Adenn Squad. What could go wrong?

IM MIDWAY THROUGH SEASON 3 NOW HERE'S MORE OF MY THOUGHTS

post-blinding Kanan is actually such a glow up from sighted Kanan, tbh. Once again proving that disability makes you sexier. Maul did him a favor!!!! Rex totally gave him the jaig eyes, btw

that whole s2 finale with Maul pretending to be a Frail Old Man to win Ezra's favor was so goddamn funny. hobbling around like "oh woe is me :( can't open this door :( without an apprentice :(:(:(" he's so goddamn dramatic

AHSOKAAAAA SOBBING WAILING BANGING MY FISTS AGAINST THE WALL

I am a Kallus/Garazeb shipper. They fucked on that moon. If they did NOT fuck on that moon, that also makes sense because it left Kallus Gagging For It bad enough that he turned coat. Kallus needs that lasat dick as badly as he needs professional therapy. That episode should have been titled "de-radicalizing my imperial enemy by giving him a size kink"

I bet Zeb and Rex are so fucking fun to hang out with. I bet they drink shitty space beers and watch space sport broadcasts together. Their bond as warriors is so strong and manly I'd die for them

The arc with the two holocrons was so fucking funny to me that the next 5 bullet points are all about different parts Maul's Big Gay Meltdown. Beginning with when he marched Kanan out the airlock. "You tried to kill me last time" "if at first you don't succeed, try try again" BITCH YOU ARE SO CUNTY WHO TAUGHT YOU TO BE LIKE THAT

The fact that Maul did not even wait 0.2 seconds after his and Ezra's holocron vision group call before SPRITING to his ship for OBI WAN 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️ girl you do NOT KNOW WHERE YOU ARE GOING 💀💀💀💀 SLOW DOWN

The fact that Maul then later has to call Ezra back because oh yeah, he doesn't actually know where Obes is 💀💀💀 and the fact that he "calls Ezra back" by materializing as a sulking hallucination strutting in the background and whispering ominously is SO GODDAMN FUNNY YOU DRAMATIC ASS BITCH

When Kanan and Ezra are like "Bendu!! How do I stop seeing Maul everywhere?" And bendu is like "don't turn around lol" and Maul is just 🧍 right there

I AM LAUGHING SO FUCKING HARD IM CACKLING IM CRYING LOOK AT HIS LITTLE PEPE SILVIA CORK BOARD!!!! WHY DOES EVERYTHING LOOK LIKE IT'S WRITTEN IN BLOOD??? WHY IS HE SO ADAMANT EZRA NOT TOUCH ANYTHING???? BABE IT LOOKS LIKE SHIT IN HERE YOU LIVE LIKE THIS????

My partner pointed out the tile portrait of Satine that Maul presumably RIPPED OUT OF A WALL just to take to his cave and SCRIBBLE ALL OVER IT WITH VIOLENCE and he was like "that's so silly, why would he do that" and I said simply "it was a good day for him"

KALLUS BEING FULCRUM IS SO FUNNY I LOVE THAT FOR HIM!!! GO YOU FRUITY LITTLE BOTTOM, GO!!!!!

The last episode I watched was the 2 part Geonosis bit with Saw Gerrera and the last Geonosian egg and Klick-Klack. If Saw Gerrera has no enemies, I am dead. Fuck that guy, Klick-Klack was SO CUTE and he was SUCH AN ASSHOLE

On season 2 of Star Wars Rebels for the very first time. Here are my very important and original takes:

Chopper has killed for sport and enjoyed it. He will kill again

SEASON 3 EPISODE 17 SPECIFIC COMMENTARY FEAT. KALLUS MY BABY GIRL

He is SO MUCH TALLER than all the other imperials. This is less commentary and more of an observation. It is a critical observation. Mfer LEGGY. *edit: WIKI SAYS HE IS 6'5" HOLY SHIT (for your reference, I myself am 5'2", in shoes mind you. He could pick me up by the skull and wiggle me like a wet noodle)

Begrudging Uncle Kallus absolutely FURIOUS that Ezra is here the SECOND they are alone he is the Most Annoyed Man Ever to Live, beating out Kanan for the Most Pissed At Ezra Right Now Award "what the FUCK are you doing here" Ezra like 😒🙄😒 "here to save your ungrateful ass smh"

I only remember Lyste as the dude Leia cucked back in season 2 and I'm pleased to see he's still around Gagging For It (current subject: Kallus and his probably proportionate-to-his-height penis and by that I mean large)

Thrawn deciding to spar with death troopers in a tight little tank top with the door open right before his Special Find The Spy Meeting is the most ridiculous yet effective flex I've ever seen that's PEAK villain shit that's so fucking funny watch me body the SHIT out of these robo death goons real quick girls, help yourself to some coffee while you wait and listen to me grunt

Kallus going to get Ezra and finding him on the ceiling and the "WOULD YOU STOP THAT" this child collects uncles like a 7/11 bathroom stall collects graffiti. Uncle tally includes: Zeb, Hondo, Rex, Maul, and Kallus. They are all varying degrees of annoyed with him except for Hondo

My partner knows I have discovered Kalluzeb fic. He said at the beginning of the episode, "Wait, is Kallus ISB?" and without hesitation I rattled off his number and said "yes???" Like bitch?? Cmon. I said, "there is nothing I do not already know about this man. I know what he likes in bed, I know who carries his babies. I know more than you" and he was like "... yes indeed you do". When i told him about that One Steve Blum Tweet he fell over into the fridge with the force of it

THE WAY HE TACKLED LYSTE SO FAST AND SO BRUTAL MADE ME LAUGH SO HARD IMAGINE GETTING ABSOLUTELY BODIED BY A 6'5" SUB WITH MUTTON CHOPS 💀💀💀

"The PLANS have CHANGED because I have CAPTURED. FULCRUM" [Communucating SO HARD at his very dense nephew]

The "I can do more good here" line mirroring Sabine's from the previous episode when she goes back to Mando Land to help Clan Wren 🫶👌🤌mmmmMMMmm good soup

KALLUS' SMUG LITTLE FACE SAUNTERING OUT OF THAT MEETING WHERE THRAWN ABSOLUTELY MADE HIS ASS IS THE FUNNIEST SHIT IVE EVER SEEN COMPLETE AND UTTER CONFIDENCE 💀 HAVING THE BEST DAY 💀💀💀 [4 Feet Away - Thrawn: "Kallus is FULCRUM"]
