ohhohoho Cody. Big fucking scary commander of the 212th. Marshal Commander. Highest rank a clone can hold. Nasty fucking scar curling around his brow. Spin-kicks droids, dog-piled Grievous, gave Slick an uppercut that knocked him out of a monologue about personal choice and freedom into next Tuesday. Lead the assault on Utapau. That's the guy .
the guy who painted a sun on his armor. Who, in 2003TCW and RotS, is shown constantly having dumb fucking banter with his general. "When have I ever let you down?" / "I think you'll be needing this." / "YESSIR WE'RE RIGHT ON SCHEDULE" he's way funnier than people give him credit for
A sun. He has a sun on his armor. There was a point in his life where he saw a sun for the first time, which is a curious (mis)fortune, and decided that that'd be him. A sun. After years of Kamino's white lab-lights . Years of sameness on Kamino, the clones get sent out and the jedi let them. Paint their armor. Have this shell mean something. And the first thing he thinks of is a little orange sun
They didn't NEED to have a named clone with a sun painted on his armor and two (2!) antennas attached to it in Revenge of the Sith OR TCW ('03). They didn't need to give him lines that endeared us to him like that, for as little screentime as he had .But they did
Me watching The Clone Conspiracy: I hate Admiral Rampart! I want him to be arrested. I want him to reap the consequences of his actions. I want him to fail.
Me watching Truth and Consequences: wait no no not like that.
Cody, as Leia IMMEDIATELY goes off book during the Death Star escape:
🚨SPOILER ALERT: RWRB COLLECTOR’S EDITION🚨
“Henry,” says Alex.
“Alex,” says Henry.
“You and me,” Alex says.
“You and me,” Henry agrees.
- Bonus Chapter of RED WHITE & ROYAL BLUE by Casey McQuiston
It felt fitting for my last fanart of 2022 to honor one of the absolute highlights of my year, drawing endpapers for the RWRB Collector’s Edition. This scene was such a beautiful, fitting conclusion to their story, and I WEPT when I read it. I will never not feel overwhelmed with gratitude when I think of this book and its impact on my life, and I can only imagine what loveliness awaits us in 2023 when the movie is released.
If you and yours are celebrating this week, know that I am wishing you the happiest of holidays and a beautiful and bright New Year! Thank you for being here, and I can’t wait to share more art with you in 2023! 🎉
Be quiet, consider the following:
Cody
i think the reason Commander Cody’s character is often undersold is because his story isn’t ever told in any one story. his screentime in tcw is low, but meaningful, his appearances in comics are incredible, but overlooked, he isn’t touched on much in RotS, but his personality is still super obvious there, and he’s only in one episode of Bad Batch, but he quite literally changed the entire course of the season with his short amount of time. all of it is rich and shows how much he cares about the people around him and that’s what makes him such a great character. he doesn’t need hours of time to make a difference in the other characters around him, he does that naturally no matter what
Still not over the fact that parenting a Herondale requires such specific advice that Tessa reached out to the only other person alive who's successfully done it in the last century
