STAR WARS APPRECIATION WEEK 2022        

DAY 6 - May 17 / Favorite planet  ⤐ Coruscant

darth vader, age 23, unsure how to make friends now that his old ones are mostly dead, falls back on the one trick he knows is guaranteed to get social approval: stealing fruit with the force. a roomful of imperial officers watch in terror and moderate annoyance as their snacks float away just as they were about to take a bite. when this fails to get universal acclaim, the weird guy who may or may not be their boss (no one is sure what his job is) crushes all the space pears in a fit of rage, then storms out and crashes a ship to calm down

I’m not Resistance. I’m not a hero. I’m a stormtrooper. Like all of them, I was taken from a family I’ll never know. And raised to do one thing. But my first battle, I made a choice. I wasn’t gonna kill for them. So I ran. Right into you. And you looked at me like no one ever had. I was ashamed of what I was. But I’m done with the First Order. I’m never going back

sorry but its so funny to me how people will refer to hera as the mum of the crew as if she wasn't immediately down to implicate a child in her crimes. like she does not care if you're scared GET YOUR ASS ON THE BATTLEFIELD!!!!

I do wonder about the clones' resistance to addictions because I feel like in the fandom we casually mention stims so much as a method of staying awake on campaigns or getting work done or whatever. and so in my head the clones are like just being continuously fed methamphetamines world war 2 style for weeks. And post-battle the medics have got to just be throwing injured brothers a jar of painkillers and telling them to gtfo of the medbay if they aren't bleeding out. Right?

It's probably reasonable to assume that the genetic element of addiction was programmed out by the Kaminoans, but the clones can still get drunk, so we must assume they can also get high. There's only so much you can do to stave off dependency, so just ... idk, I do wonder about overdose rates in the GAR. The sociocultural norms and structures that'll have popped up around substances in clone culture. Coping mechanisms for bad days, bad battles, old injuries that never quite healed right. What the illicit GAR drug trade looks like- spice and liquid death sticks skimmed off Sep pirate freighters; cases of expired stims thrown away and then retrieved from the trash. Clones with shakes on shore leave, descending into the skug holes of Coruscant trying to find a cheap high to replace what they lose when they're not bouncing between fronts. Hoping they don't get gutted and left for dead down there, where their battalion won't find them, where a clone body is just more debris.

Look man, I'm just saying. Something to think about

the downside of digging really deep into canon and compiling characterization notes and worldbuilding meta and using all of that to craft intricate headcanon is that 99% of fic instantly becomes unreadable
