for some reason seeing the rex and cal interaction ask immediately made an au pop into my brain of like. the end of the clone wars but Cal's whole ship has their chips malfunction so it just turns into "oh no. guess we all have to pretend to crash and then take this whole perfectly fine battle cruiser and go into hiding. oh nooooo"

LMAO the ultimate gaslight girlboss gatekeep au

Jedi: Fallen Order

The other day I was admiring the official Cal Kestis minifig and I just thought it would be fun to do a big post with a bunch of my Fallen Order figs, new and old

Random clone and padawan headcanons

I will die on the hill that every padawan was extremely connected to/close with their clone battalion

Certain clones have closer bonds, but every clone trooper saw anywhere from a child to barely teenager standing in front of them on their Venator and went “protective instincts initiated”

Ahsoka and the 501st are the closest only because Anakin encouraged they interact with the men as if they were troopers and not their commanding officers whenever not in a professional setting (think missions camps, off duty, in transit to missions). This helped Ahsoka acclimate because it reminded her of the crèche days and the bond she formed with her crèche mates

With that said, Rex was fondest of Ahsoka (big bro mode activated double time when he saw a child standing in front of him) but she and Fives together were his biggest headache

Cal was a babay when the war started so the 13th battalion, yes respected him as their commander, but their relationship was much more "little bro surrounded by 100s of big bros" (with how young Cal was, I firmly believe he rarely saw the field)

Cal loved to watch the clones train, and once and awhile they'd let him join in on their sparring. Due to the fact he was maybe 100lbs wet, they'd go easy on him, but it was the highlight of Cal's day

Caleb/Kanan wanted to be the cool commander so badly. Like so so so so badly. During down time, you'd find him in the mess hall with a group of clones around him while he told what he thought were his coolest stories or about all the cool things he's done on Coruscant (Depa Billaba would never admit it, but she enjoyed coming to the mess during these times and oh so casually correcting an over-embellishment of Caleb's like oh interesting she doesn't remember him pulling off a double flip she remembers him face planting in the temple fountains, but maybe that was another time. Caleb gives her the "mom stop embarrassing me in front of my friends" look and she laughs to herself as she walks away)

To help pass the time while Jaro was leading a campaign on the ground and Cal was on the Venator, Cal and the clones not involved in the battle would play a version of hide-and-seek. One time Jaro came back from the battle to a bunch of sheepish clones admitting they had no idea where his padawan was after they'd been seeking for him for over an hour. That's when they learned Cal can fit into spaces previously thought only a mouse could access

Ahsoka was a very curious teenager who loved to learn. Much to Rex's chagrin. After Christophsis, back on the Resolute on their way back to Coruscant which was a day or so journey, Ahsoka followed Rex around asking a million questions about life on Kamino, their training, what it was like growing up surrounded by the same face, who his favorite trooper was, who his favorite Jedi was, what his least favorite part of the ship was, etc.

I received This Lovely Treat from the wonderful @iwishtocountthestars and decided to do art about it

[constantlymisspelled]

Cadet Commander Kestis left an… impression on the Alpha Class when the 13th Battalion stocked up on a supply run to Kamino. His Commander is debating whether he should have bothered trying to keep the Cadet in arms length. It probably wouldn’t have helped.

(Alpha 17 will never forget the strange Jetii Cadet that apologised to a door. He thinks about it when the Cadets he trains are being strange. It gives him comfort, and a strange fascination with the happenings of Jetii Cadets.)
