bring on the comfort

Call me Feather! About me: Christian, female, INFJ, born 1988, lives in mid-south U.S.A., has chronic pain + fatigue. I draw and write sometimes, with a focus on familial love, inside and outside of fandoms.

The amazing @cyber54prime honored me with an art trade, and apparently we are BOTH big Cutup fans, because we ended up asking each other for this same adorable clone! 💖 Here's my half, and boy did I have fun with it!

I actually hadn't drawn wartime!Cutup before, so this was also a really fun opportunity to imagine some armor paint for him. (Lore for Cutup's armor in my "Gently Twinkling Stars" fanwork universe now: The main design on his torso and helmet is meant to be a stylized happy mouth with laugh-effect lines. The typical 501st blue stripes on his vambraces, meanwhile, have a not-so-typical slanted gap in them, to sort of look like they were "cut up" with scissors. He probably has those same "cut up" stripes on his shinguards as well, if I ever end up drawing them.)

Thank you again, Cyber! This made me so happy to draw! 😊

Lord, if I was ever the reason for someone else's pain please heal them and forgive me.

@swshows week: DAY 3 – Favorite Episode

Clone Cadets (3x01)

"How can I be a failure when I never even got my chance? It's a chance you're throwing away. You're always trying to be the anchor, Hevy, y'know, do it on your own. Well, maybe you should embrace the fact that you have a team. See, I never had that. But you need them, and they need you. Why carry such a heavy burden on your own, when you have your brothers at your side, Hevy?"

I’m not sure entirely if this is my absolute FAVORITE episode of TCW, but it’s the one that I remember the most. I love the insight we get in the clones’ lives and training. They’re such a huge part of the war and while we have a lot of time with them on screen, clone-centric stories weren’t extremely prevalent before season 3. Plus, how could you not fall in love with the Domino squad here? They start off so disjointed and end as a true band of brothers. I love them, your honor.

Plus how can 99 not make you smile/cry every scene?

Thinking about how AT-TE's are designed low to the ground, to be safer and sturdier, to get their occupants them from Point A to Point B. Whereas AT-AT's are designed much less sturdily--actually quite dangerously (for their occupants as well as everyone else)--to be towering, to STEP on things.

You could easily crush somebody's house with an AT-AT (walk up to it, STOMP, done). You'd have a much harder time doing so with an AT-TE (you couldn't position yourself on top of the house, and you'd probably damage the tank trying to ram it from ground-level). …I'm not saying the Republic had zero problems in canon, but I think that says something about the difference between the Republic mentality and the Empire mentality, right there.

a quick “why is my life so bad” checklist

how’s your sleep schedule

have you eaten or drank anything besides sugar and caffeine

how long have you been sitting in one spot

have you gone out in public recently

have you taken a shower/brushed your teeth/groomed yourself properly

have you spent time doing an activity that doesn’t involve a screen

etc

[spirulin4]

i myself needed to be reminded of this today. the freedom of summer also means the risk of falling back into bad habits if i'm not mindful

i think people get so used to their own creative work that they forget how amazing it is so i’m making this post as a reminder You are the only person capable of making art the exact way you make it. nobody else on earth can do that. there are always going to be those little habits and intricacies and details that simply cannot be replicated whether it’s in writing or painting or textiles and you make life all the better for it i love my friends’ art i love art from strangers im trying to love my own art I LOVE YOU!!! THE PERSON READING THIS!!!!!!! YOU ARE A PART OF THIS WORLD NEVER EVER STOP MAKING THINGS THAT CAN IMPACT IT

The parking attendant paused by the double-length bay. Intended for mobile homes and cars with trailers, it was currently occupied by a sleeping dragon.

No parts of it extended beyond the lines, and the paper ticket was clearly displayed, impaled on a horn.

The parking attendant moved on.

I was going to just queue it for later but then it stuck in my brain, and I decided to make it everyone's problem

Canon Clones Fill-in-the-Blank!

Mostly just thinking aloud about my fic-verse, but maybe some other clone fans can help me here?

I love the idea of the clones staying together in little groups of four or more brothers post-war, in my happy!(almost-)everybody-lives!no-order-66! AU (because I love the stability of large families and also because Better Cuddle Puddles 😊💕). And I've realized I actually have made some of their families smaller than that in my stories, and want to change that.

The 501st is good--the Dominos have all five of them plus 99, and the rest of the 501st (Rex, Jesse, Hardcase, Kix, Tup, Dogma, and now I'm also thinking of adding Denal and the comics-only clone Bellow) hang out in the Jedi Temple with Obi and Ahsoka.

The 212th was far more fragmented--originally I just had Wooley living with the Codiyo family (Cody x Riyo), and Waxer and Boil adopting Numa. Now I'm thinking I can add in Gearshift, Trapper, and Crys, as well as Slick's squad (minus Slick himself). But I haven't yet decided whether Slick's squad (Jester, Gus, Punch, Sketch, and Chopper) lives next door to Waxer, Boil, and Numa, and the others next door to Codiyo, or vice-versa.

The Corries are fine and dandy, and indeed probably the ideal group that made me realize how I love this whole "extended family" deal--I have Jek, Rys, Thire, Thorn, Fox, Stone, and Hound all living in a shared apartment complex with their various children and (in Fox's and Jek's cases) OC wives.

Where I'm having the most trouble now is with the more minor companies.

GREEN COMPANY: Gree marries Luminara and adopts Barriss, and I've decided Buzz and Draa live next door, but that's just three clones and I really want more. Does anyone know ANY other named canon clones (from live-action, from animation, or from comics) who belong to Luminara and Gree's group, or who would have a believable reason to have been close to them? (Jek is out because I like still keeping him one of the Corries in my universe.)

LIGHTNING SQUADRON: The only named clones I know of under Mace's command are Ponds, Stak, and Razor. Ponds, Stak, and Razor will live together with two adoptive kids on Garel, in my universe, but I need at least one other brother for them. Help??

The WOLFPACK is pretty healthy--they have their Papa Plo taking care of Wolffe, Boost, Sinker, and Comet--and AAYLA AND BLY and their many children can have Uncles Flash, Lucky, and Cameron nearby, so that's sufficient for me as well.

I'm also toying with the idea of my good-guy!JANGO AND BOBA welcoming Rancor Battalion to come live with them on Concord Dawn post-war, and the Rancors bringing some cadets they've adopted.

My OCs the PEAPOD SQUAD just have three clones and their little shared Jedi daughter, but they're kind of a special case, so I don't think I'll change anything about them.

…I guess that's the bulk of it, since these are the main clone families I'm wishing to write about in my story-world (which I do hope to bulk out more soon--I know I unfortunately have been behind with my fic production, as most of this stuff is just "living in my head" right now).

Again, does anyone know more named canon clones under Gree or Ponds' commands, or at least who worked near them at one point? (Also, does anyone have opinions on whether Slick's squad should go live near Cody and Riyo and their baby and Wooley on Pantora, or near Waxer and Boil and Numa on Ryloth? With it being understood whichever of those DOESN'T get Slick's squad will be getting Crys, Gearshift, and Trapper as neighbors instead?)

More Grandpa Dooku Thoughts

One of my favorite Grandpa Dooku headcanons is that, yes, Dooku tried to be the best master he could for Qui-Gon and Rael and that included being stern on some issues and teaching them the word no, but that particular bit of vocabulary completely left his plane of existence the instant he met Obi-Wan. He knows he's spoiling the kiddo rotten but he doesn't really care, because that's Qui-Gon's problem now, right? And suddenly he understands all those times Yoda gave Qui-Gon all the sugar he wanted and let all the stray cats inside his quarters and how his master could sit there beaming at the chaos.

The only difference between his situation and Yoda's is that he's now legally heir to a crazy huge fortune and you know what's even better than ousting one's corrupt brother and father and taking over their failing planet in order to spite their memories by restoring it? Buying one's grandpadawan anything his adorable little angel heart desires while he's visiting for the weekend and not having to live in the Temple for the consequences.

Dooku: *answers comm* Hello?

Qui-Gon: *exhausted* Master.

Dooku: You sound terrible. Like you haven't slept in a week.

Qui-Gon: Funny you should say that. Did you buy Obi-Wan an electric guitar?

Dooku: *remembers the puppy eyes Obi-Wan gave him when they saw it in the mall*

Dooku: What did you expect me to do - say no?

Qui-Gon: My plants are dying from the noise. The other masters have abandoned this dorm hall. Yoda took refuge in the basement and hasn't been seen in three days.

Dooku: My hands were tied. You don't understand, he asked so politely...

Qui-Gon: Next time I see you, I will politely throw you off a balcony.

Obi-Wan in the background: Thanks again, Grandmaster! *hits a riff that shakes the Temple spire*

Yoda, huddled in the basement, about to rip his own ears off: Kill my padawan, I am going to.

…Arkie, I want you to know I had the biggest growing grin reading the first part of this, and then when I got to the word "electric guitar" I LAUGHED OUT LOUD IN SHOCK. Physically. In my room. 🤣

This is HILARIOUS (as always)!!

Dreaming of マシュマロトース by kanayaaan_mori

DA-6498-6280-1285

[agnesmontague]

ive invented (note: dubious claim) something i call the bear diet which is mostly fruits and vegetables with fish as the main protein source and something like once a month you eat a few hyperprocessed foods of your liking because that is when you, the bear, raid a dumpster in the suburbs

[stellarskyes]

after the hyperprocessed foods, do you take tranquilizers to simulate getting captured by animal control and returned to the wild?

[agnesmontague]

i would settle for melatonin gummies but well. knock yourself out
