star wars fix-it fic writers

I was just talking with a friend, and explaining why I adore the clones so much, so I thought I'd yell my love into the Tumblr void, as well.

They're so fascinating to me because, as children, they're treated as interchangeable parts, conditioned to believe that they don't matter as individuals. But despite that, they develop (depending on your adherence to canon, Legends, or whatever) their own culture and very distinct personalities.

They're generally so brave and selfless, which I imagine you can partly chalk up to the awful conditioning they were subjected to, but I also like to think that their closeness growing up fostered genuine concern for the welfare of others.

I could cry until the end of time over some of them getting the chance to learn that they possess their own inherent value, outside of their usefulness to the Republic and ultimately Sidious.

All of my favorite stories focus on the clones' agency and individuality, despite much of the Galaxy (not the Jedi, of course!) treating them as expendable pawns.

And then you add their age into it and I turn into a puddle on the floor. T_T When it comes to life experience, they've had so little, and even if you just look at their biological ages of 20-26-ish throughout the war, they're so young. I'm 39, and the thought of these poor kids going through all the hardships they face is too much for my heart.

Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.

Hi, your drawings are amazing! Thank you for that! Would you be interested in drawing a soft codywan in a short break between fights?

Aaah, thank you so much! I’m really glad you like my stuff. And oh boy, I sure am interested!

It did not come out quite as soft as I’d planned, but I’m sure Cody only nags because he cares. :)

Alright, so I might have been slightly obsessed with Cody since he went from stoic professional to spin-kicking a droid within the first 5 minutes of the pilot movie.

I have become the author that only updates every few months then disappears into the void again... I’m so sorry

@spicyblueberries had a meme of baby Kit Fisto being carried to temple in a plastic bag that are used to transport goldfishes. Of course, in the temple they would be housed comfortably in a fish tank. @ahsoka-in-a-hood: Good idea to let master Yoda know baby nautolan is not a tasty fish snack.

Glitch was supposed to be a throwaway character but now I’m Attached™️ and in the process of making him a whole squad.

Empire-controlled Kamino is a lot stricter than in the Jedi days, no hair cuts, no tattoos, so when he’s busted out he absolutely goes wild. At one point Waxer has to intervene because he’s fried his hair from bleaching and re-dying it too many times (as a medic he should know better but...), so he settles on shaving different patterns into the side.

me, rewatching my favourite media for the hundredth time: it’s about the comfort. it’s about the nostalgia. it’s about lacking the necessary emotional bandwidth to take in and process new things in this year of our lord 2021
