@codywanweek Day 4: Formal Wear

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.

I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel.  At least in media or in the most popular stories.  But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea?  And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point.  Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you.  Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?

I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area.  I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.

au where temple bombing and conspiracy arc happen at the same very confusing time. of course as we all know both barriss and ahsoka were framed. cue fives barriss and ahsoka on the run and they’re the only ones who know who the sith lord is

Are you fucking kidding me!!!!??!

WE COULD'VE HAD CODY?? WE COULD'VE HAD CODY ON TATOOINE WITH OBI-WAN?? AS FRIENDS?? TRUSTING EACH OTHER?? LOOKING OUT FOR EACH OTHER?? WITH THE CHIPS BEING ADDRESSED???

“War’s over..”

inspired by one of the fic that I love First Sight from @glimmerglanger, thank you so much for writing this 🥺

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. :)

someone called Cody a wireless router once and since that day my life has not known peace. clones have started to manifest in my house. 

I just finished re-reading A Star to Steer By for the fourth (fifth? maybe?) time and I just had to draw Ahsoka and Host Echo.

Of course they had to be in Ahsoka’s signature pose 😁

“Hey Ben who’s that in the picture with you?”

Codywan content for the soul 🤲

Give him a real job.
