Forgotten General @phantompineapple183 - Tumblr Blog

too sleepy to elaborate at this time but I miss the old fandom culture of interacting with fanfic writers and fanfic artists as members of the fandom community who enjoyed engagement and discussion and feedback instead of the modern trend of seeing us as content creators up on a pedestal who don't need positive feedback but DO need to churn out constant content to feed the a03 machine

Jedi Padawans have the classic sitcom bag-of-flour baby assignment to ensure they're prepared to look after young ones in emergency situations

this assessment is not one of the many canceled or postponed during the war

which means that when Ahsoka is abruptly deployed dirtside along with her Master, Grandmaster, and the 501st, she had to scramble to find an appropriate babysitter for her sack of flour

desperate, she tossed it to Commander Cody, who was staying aboard the Negotiator to oversee the campaign, with only a frantic list of the required steps to take care of it while she was gone

when she returns several days later, Cody has painted the sack 212th gold and constructed a sling to carry it around on his front while he keeps his hands free for work

judging by the rank pins attached to the front, the sack of flour is now a lieutenant

once Obi-Wan's heart eyes abate enough, though, it becomes clear to him that Cody and the 212th troopers have not understood that the sack of flour is not, in fact, a literal Jedi tubie

and none of the Jedi or their siblings in the 501st have the heart to correct them, so they let them keep the thing, stomping on the feet of anyone who tries to ask too many questions about their new mascot

once the war ends, Obi-Wan discreetly replaces the sack with a Jedi chrecheling in the middle of the night, having resigned himself to raising another too-young-Padawan

Reva, for her part, is all to happy to gleefully coat herself in flour for the occasion

forever obsessed with the concept of Coruscant being what only can be described as haunted

ddeck

its a giant planet with way too long and messed up history. apart from the general thing with overpopulation and pollusion and mutated animals roaming around the lower levels, the whole jedi order couldn't sense sith presence there because the vibes are just that bad

it got everything: ghost of extinct species casually walking around the markets, cryptic messages picked up by comlinks that transmit from the places that cannot be found and are written in languages that have never existed, deep tunnels that appear from thin air and lead nowhere, places and levels that seem infinite and refuse to let out anyone who enters them forcing them walk in circles for hours, every month corrie guard faces the mundane problem of one of them getting possessed during patrol

Image description: it's a drawing of Aayla Secura and Shaak Ti from Star Wars. They're standing back to back, Aayla is facing us. They both have blue lightsabers drawn. Aayla is using the force to pull her second lightsaber towards her screen-left arm. Aayla is looking at the camera with a cheeky smile. Shaak is looking and smiling at Aayla. They appear to be standing in fog. The background behind them is green and yellow. Below the first drawing, is a zoomed in version with their faces. End of description.

hey so I wanted to ask if you have some more inhibitor brain facts please? I need more pseudoscience for fanfics

This is such a cool ask, thanks anon!

BIG DISCLAIMER: I’m not even close to an expert and I don’t know nothing. I just really like the brain and I also like reading papers, so it might just be enough to bullshit my way through a fanfiction.

TCW gave us a few different brain scans with sightly different locations of the chip, so I’m simply sticking to Rex’s brain scan in season 7. Looking at it, I would guess that the chip is located somewhere near the cingulate cortex (orange region).

The cingulate cortex is a large part of the limbic system, therefore involved in emotion formation and processing, but also in cognitive processes like memory.

One part of the cingulate cortex is the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC), which has cognitive and emotional divisions (and is therefore also called the interconnection of intellect and affect).

Pseudo-science point 1: A change in personality

The clones’ personality changed drastically upon the activation of the inhibitor chips. Interestingly, the ACC projects into the amygdala (among others), therefore being involved in affect, and studies observed that cingulate tumors and other lesions can cause affective changes like apathy, disinhibition, and aggressiveness. Here, we could assume that the the activated inhibitor chips have tumor-like effects, making the clones feel indifferent about the Jedi and their brothers, while also disinhibiting the clones in regard of Order 66.

(Funnily enough, this would also indicate that the Kaminoans didn’t lie entirely when saying that the chips are tumors.)

Pseudo-science point 2: Complete obedience

Upon hearing “Order 66” the clones were not able to disobey. In Rex’s case, we saw him struggling, though he had no motoric control, eventually.

The ACC has neurons that project into the motor cortex, regulates movements and guides voluntary choices based on previous actions and outcomes - it may work in conjunction or even activate the supplementary motor area, which mediates the preparation and initiation of movement. Studies observed that the electrical stimulation of the ACC can elicit automatic and even complex behaviors, so that we could assume that the activation of the inhibitor chip promotes the execution of Order 66.

Additionally, since the ACC is involved in response selection, it has also been proposed that the ACC plays a role in word and sentence selection. This is interesting considering that the chipped clones also talked differently to the Jedi and their brothers.

Blaming the entire behavior of the clones on one brain region is definitely a bit far-fetched, but the Kaminoans only implemented one chip in the clones' brains, so yeah. I'll blame it on the ACC.

So hey, I wanted to jump on the Purge Trooper Cody bandwagon, but I’m also completely incapable of doing angst.

Obi-Wan’s getting his man back post-haste.

WHAT THE ENTIRE FUCK

5895651-deactivated20210518

The company isn’t boasting about using cheap/unpaid/forced penal labor.

It’s a project offering voluntary employment opportunities with fair trade wages to incarcerated women, allowing them to amass decent savings and avoid recidivism (i.e., having to return to prostitution, drug muling, and the other poverty-related crimes as soon as their sentences are up, because they’re right back in poverty where they started).

No, it’s not the all-or-nothing Tumblr justice solution™ of magically abolishing the PIC overnight, but it’s a significant improvement over the literal slave labor most corporations employ, while raking in the entirety of a prisoner’s surplus and setting them up for recidivism.

cinemaglow

Y'all….this isn’t slave labor the way the vast majority of prusin labor is. They have a 30 hour work week and pay their employees a LIVING WAGE. Also the company was founded after talking to women in prison about their lives and needs
