Memes For The Bad Batch, 2x03 "The Solitary Clone"

i do not think they could have possibly even in the worst of my dreams fucked up the ending of shadow and bone season 3 as much as they did –> completely getting rid of Alina and Mal’s characterisation, separating the crows, making it so that Alina is essentially the new darkling rather than how in the books rightfully so Alina gets stripped of her powers to show there is ALWAYS consequences for merzost and Mal and Alina getting to live together an ordinary life like they have always craved THIS IS SOME STUPID SHIT i cannot

prayers for a bad batch season 2 trailer today

To the fearless leaders,

The mad women,

The women who remind us “Never be so kind you forget to be clever. Never be so clever you forget to be kind,”

The women fighting for what we’ve worked for all these years,

The women who are no one’s exception,

Happy International Women's Day!

i love Commander Cody. he’s gay. he’s beautiful. he’s strong. he’s insanely smart. he crushes droids with his thighs. he’s the kindest man you’ve ever met. he’s extremely competent. he puts up with more bullshit than what should be possible. he’s a feminist. he’s never met a woman.

Why do all of the crow scenes feel so watered down?? Like Kaz cleaning inej’s wounds could’ve been peak cinema. Kaz fighting for the crow club was not as much a blood battle. Kaz’s back story was not in as much detail. I missed the “I’m still alive” line that broke me. Their whole storyline being rushed. I don’t care that they changed their story, I care that it lacks the heart and impact that it did have.

Nothing like a mad woman 💅🏼

Im begging you do not kill him off—

i have no time. i am a stressed junior in college who also works and wants to have some free time so my mental health doesn’t explode. i have fifteen textbook chapters to read a week and stats homework on top of that. i have no time.

oops, what’s is this? an entire AU based off of Cody leaving the Empire and starting a clone rebellion? oh well, guess i have to write this now. it’s fine, Cody commands my entire brain at this point

Behind every fanfic update, there is a writer being turned into THIS as they await your reactions

Here’s what makes me the most upset about Cody’s experience with his chip basically revealing that the clones truly think they chose to kill their Jedi and that their free will wasn’t taken away:

I could make a whole separate post about the implications it has for Cody, Bly and Wolffe for example, but what makes me the most upset is Anakin’s role in it all.

It was bad enough that he thoughtlessly uses the 501st to slaughter the Jedi at the temple, proving that their sentiency was less important to him than his own selfish choices.

But now we know that all those men spent their last moments alive believing they were freely choosing to kill the Jedi. It must’ve been so confusing for them because their realities were just rewritten by those stupid chips and Anakin didn’t even think about how it could affect them. It probably didn’t even occur to him.

Cody’s look when Crosshair calls the Jedi traitors is everything because it gives us a glimpse into what the clones who didn’t know about the chips feel about what happened.

I personally think this is one of the cruelest things Anakin does in the entire franchise and we never talk about it. To be complicit in denying a group of people who trust you their humanity and their free will just to fulfil what you want is unmistakably evil. Using them to kill a different group of people who trust you makes it so much worse. There were two betrayals taking place simultaneously.

Those poor men will have spent their final moments (because I’m assuming not many made it out) not only being used as tools by the man who insisted he cared for them, but also feeling the responsibility of it being their choice too when it absolutely was not.
