Ask him what he thinks of children then

"I'LL PROVE YOU WRONG." Finn whipped out their phone so hard it flew across the room and hit Vespine on the forehead. "Oops, sorry!" The child retrieved the phone and texted Robotnik.

"What...Do...You...Think...Of...Children." They hit send. "Lets see whose right."

I’m wondering for your fic “as I breathe so does she,” if you had a backstory to what happened to captain Rex and the other clones? Like if part of mace defeating palps meant order 66 never happened so the chips weren’t an issue? Or if kamino was investigated after the fact and the whole plot was exposed? I love it so far and was curious

Hi! This is really funny that you asked me this because I had been stressing about what to do with the clones for, like, the entire time I’d been planning this story, but I knew I needed to include them (or at least Rex) and I finally figured it out today.

I think one of the reasons I’ve been struggling so hard with it was because I didn’t want them to be only soldiers anymore. I wanted to let them have agency with what they pursued after the war- whether that be staying with the Grand Army of the Republic (which in my mind was considerably downsized after the war ended to redistribute money to struggling systems) or pursuing other employment options. Here is what I decided on as a timeline and explanation for what happened in my universe with how Anakin didn’t turn to the dark side, Order 66 doesn’t happen, and what happens to the Clones:

Beginning in canon ROTS- Anakin tells Mace about Palps, goes to the council room like instructed. The same thing happens where he’s essentially falling apart and breaking down, but instead of coming to the realization that he needs to go save the shitty old man, he decides to call Padmé and tell her what's going on even though he knows he shouldn’t. The shock of Palps’ reveal sends Padmé into early labor and instead of rushing to save the chancellor, Anakin runs to Padmé instead. He realizes that if Padmé is having the baby right now there is nothing Palps can teach him in time to save her life. He reasons that with his mom, it was just a matter of being too late and if he goes to save Palps first, those few precious minutes may be the deciding factor in whether or not she lives. 

Over at the Senate, everything happens like normal to an extent, except Kit Fisto isn’t killed by Palps and survives, he testifies to Mace killing the Chancellor with his lightsaber, but in the struggle both Mace and Palps go over the side of the senate building. Both are presumed dead. More on this (Padmé, Anakin, the Jedi...) for another time!

SWITCHING GEARS- this means that Order 66 never gets to happen and at first in the aftermath, nobody knows about it and nothing was done. Everything is kind of in chaos at the Senate with the Chancellor being killed, people and blaming the Jedi for the war going on so long, but Bail Organa and Mon Mothma (Padmé would be there but she just had healthy baby twins) manage to wrangle everything in order enough that to turn the Republic back on the side of the Jedi and convince people that they should be happy the war is over, and that the Jedi did exactly as the promised-they won the war and now the Republic should be working to repair the damage the war caused on the galaxy. They elect Mon Mothma as the next Chancellor of the Republic. 

AS FOR THE CLONES: The Jedi and a few chosen Senators are heading  to task force to investigate Palps and everything and how he managed to hide himself for so long and what his endgame plan was. During this investigation they find Rex’s sealed report about Fives and the inhibitor chips. Mas Amedda (who is in prison) confirms the real reason behind the chips and what they were going to be used for and everyone is rightfully horrified. The chips are removed from all clones. This takes some time and while this process is taking place, all clones return to Kamino, but the Jedi oversee the chip’s removal process because they don’t trust the Kaminoans anymore for obvious reasons. 

Concurrent to this happening, the Senate passes a few legislations that are important to the clones (spearheaded by Padmé even from maternity leave)- 1. All clones are given citizenship in the Republic. What planet may you ask does it say they are from? Coruscant! Kamino leaves the Republic after the investigation in Palps and the inhibitor chips and the clone bases close. 2.They receiving a mega large stipend from the Republic as thank you for their service. This one is really important because we never really talk about how canonically they aren’t paid?? They will also get a pension when they reach a certain age. 

After the chips come out, the clones are armed with their new citizenship and a hefty sum of money a lot of options. They are allowed to go wherever they want! A lot of them stay to help raise the remaining cadets who aren’t adults yet on a campus built on Coruscant for the clones once they leave Kamino; some decide to stay in the Grand Army as retainer soldiers and in the mean time settle down across the galaxy and have families; some work at the Jedi Temple; some accept positions to teach at the Imperial academy; some go to college; They do a myriad of things! They all are allowed to have therapy! 

However, in my mind, the ones who did the most time serving on the front lines find just turning to a civilian life hard and unsatisfying. SO, when the Senate creates their version of a Galactic Red Cross thingy to help the worlds hit hardest by the war, it is the clones who make up the majority of the forces! They go back to places like Ryloth and Onderon and help the citizens rebuild. But, this time when they work for the Republic, it isn’t as a slave army but as a paid citizens with rights and shit. They have benefits and vacation time! There are also some Jedi assigned to this task force (I think was how Ahsoka came back the Order, she worked with Rex on this and then it allowed her time to heal and come back), but they aren’t automatic superiors to the clones, they work alongside them and are equals with them in a way they could never be before.

This is where I think some of our favorite Clones are- Rex, Cody, and most of their respective battalions. They are helping the rebuild the Galaxy they now get to live in as fully recognized citizens. They use the star destroyers and stuff to deliver relief aid. It’s a whole thing

This was a really long winded way to answer your question lol I have so much more in my head but tried to condense it down to something readable. I hope it makes sense lol. If you have questions about anything I haven’t mentioned here please ask, I love talking about the expanded worlds for my stories lol. 

One of the things I didn't mention above was that all the clones also get medals for their service and special traveling privileges and I think the Senate commissions a large memorial to be built on Coruscant as thank you for their service and to honor the fallen. The Jedi and their clone battalions stay in touch (Rex’s official residence is recorded as Padmé and Anakin’s apartment for the longest time because it took him forever to find an apartment he liked after the war. He was a big help with when they awoke screaming at 3 am lol). 

Also, I know there's that funny post that floats around about the clones getting last names and Anakin and Ahsoka fighting over who’s last name Rex gets, but I think the clones would choose a cohesive last name for all the brothers to stay united after they separate! Of course some change it, or discard it when they get married but I think they’d want something that was just for them. Don’t ask me what it is though, I haven’t figured that out lol 

Thanks for asking!! :))))

hey kenia! i saw your reply to the anon abt how other trainees didnt make it too, and i just wanna leave a friendly reminder to not let these anons make you overly anxious! even though it's clear that you have not been neglecting other trainees (as seen through your links), i want to point out that you actually have every right to be more upset over some trainees being eliminated than others! that's the point of the show, we each have our own favs and will therefore be more emotionally attached+

+ i’ve been following up on your blog for a while and i have noticed that you are super considerate in all your posts to everyone’s thoughts and opinions of the show, and honestly you are fab for that, but i also want to tell you that it’s okay to express your own emotions and opinions once in a while, especially when this is YOUR blog gurl !!! if blogging about these thoughts and emotions helps you deal with it, go for it! sorry for the essay haha but i didnt like seeing u get anxious over it!

I hope these two asks go together because they got shuffled around in my inbox. kjrlrewlkjew 

I’m kind of too sensitive to others, I guess. From years of stanning Nu’est, I know firsthand about the frustration that comes with seeing your fave be ignored by the public. So I understand that others are just as frustrated as I am about their favorites and I don’t ever want to dismiss those feelings. I don’t ever want to make anyone feel like their opinions don’t matter or that their emotions don’t matter. Everyone needs someone to vent to and I try to put aside my biases as much as possible when people do vent in my ask or in their own posts. 

I agree that we’re all emotionally attached and that’s why it’s important to be there for everyone- I just hope people keep in mind that it’s not easy to ignore your own pain about a certain trainee so venting about that pain (as long as it’s not explicit hate) shouldn’t be dismissed either. I would hate to dismiss the anon who sent the post because I’m sure it’s born from their love for the eliminated trainees and (I hope) not from anything against me.

I think I’ve mentioned this in another ask but I’m also the kind of person that’s very guarded- partly because my words have been misconstrued in the past. I’ve also volunteered at crisis centers during freshman and sophomore year of college and their training is sort of ingrained into me at this point so it’s second nature for me to try to view things from other people’s perspectives and to think of my emotions as 2nd to theirs. 

I’ve been working on being nicer to myself, though, and allowing myself to feel whatever it is I feel because everyone’s emotions are valid. erjwelr I don’t know how to put things into words right now, and this answer is all over the place so I’m sorry about that.  jrkewlrjewlkhw

Please know I am really grateful for you and all the wonderful people that never let me forget that I matter as well. :’)
