Has he built up a tolerance to her bites over so much previous exposure? huehuehue

That would require building up a tolerance to electricity.

All of this. But. Still. teeny tiny kudos for using 'starkiller' to its fullest (if not infuriatingly inaccurate) potential.

It’s true.  It was a good name that didn’t need to be Luke’s.  I’m glad it got used but didn’t go to him.

[writing prompt] Sheres is a cinnamon roll, discuss.

lol

Perhaps in an extreme display of individuality, Sheres tends to cling and cling hard to certain people who give him the time of day. He has been keeping a candle lit for Jango, metaphorically, for most of his life. Where the Nulls have Kal, Sheres and the Alphas had Jango. Though most of the Alphas simply know Jango as their sergeant, showing just how off the beaten track Sheres is. 

He isn’t naive, necessarily, he simply has a rather optimistic outlook that crashes against the usual half full mindset that clones often have about themselves and the galaxy around them (except where the end of the war is concerned but Sheres does a bang up job at not letting his thoughts drift in that direction very often). In a way, his disposition is integral to morale, Alpha, Null, or white job. He is always willing to look for the good in people but he is also very all or nothing. If he trusts you, you’re golden. If you break that trust, he will turn his back. For a while, anyways. Depending on infraction, he may come to forgive you. 

Trust is earned, clone or no. 

Given the Alphas were in stasis for quite some time it means that he was not given the same chances to acclimate to the galaxy as it was during the lead up to and during the clone wars. While some, like Alpha 17, seemed to adjust quickly Sheres is still learning even if it might seem contradictory to the memory and learning ability that a clone is known for. But that is because he is an Alpha. Jango’s template was almost entirely unchanged for the Alphas so there are lots of chances for differences amongst them. 

Part of it also comes down to how his batchers treated him and taught him. Cyclo, his ‘older’ brother and CO, especially did his best to mold Sheres into who he wanted. It obviously didn’t take given Sheres never developed a distaste for Nulls. 

And he will simply never understand that distaste especially given how hypocritical it is to look down on Nulls for their loyalty to Kal but not an eye is batted at the fact that Alpha 17 and others have followed or tried to follow the last orders Jango ever gave them (mainly that any of the younger clones were to be terminated in case of Kamino occupation). 

Cognitive dissonance is a powerful thing, though.

003 - Niner!

How I feel about this character:

Okay, so, I really kind of ignored Niner in my initial reads of the first four books, but his doubt/conflict/protectiveness of Darman in ImpCom really was one of the best things in that book. After reading that, I had to go back and read to find his POV, and tbh, I feel like I sympathize with him so much more than I initially realized?

All the people I ship romantically with this character:

I tend to headcanon Niner as somewhere on the aro spectrum- maybe grey-aro, maybe quoiromantic. He really isn’t sure if he does/can experience romantic attraction, which bothers him for a while as he sees his brothers marrying, etc, but ultimately turns into something he decides isn’t worth the time fretting over

My non-romantic OTP for this character:

I really love Dar and Niner’s friendship/brotherhood. It was probably one of the best things to come out of ImpCom.

My unpopular opinion about this character:

I don’t think I have an opinion that would really get anyone riled up? Except maybe the aro bit, in certain quarters

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon:

I really wish that Niner, who I read the entire way through as Ace, and possibly on the Aro spectrum as well, had actually been confirmed as such. I would have loved to have a canon Ace character and the recognition that “married off having babies” is not the ultimate end game for everybody and that’s okay.

My OTP BROTP:

Darman & Niner.

Or else, Jilka & Niner in my weird little headcanon where they form a friendship based on being the rule followers and the “Only Sane Being”, aka  a tad less crazy/jare’la than the less of the clan. They sit in the back together making snarky comments and getting anxious at the particularly chancy stuff their friends are so enthusiastic about. There’s absolutely nothing romantic about it (Niner gets uncomfortable when you imply otherwise; Jilka gets pissed) but they get make decent partners.

(I mean, yes, they’re both risk takers by common standards, but it’s all a matter of degrees in the Skirata clan, and comparitively they’re at the bottom of the scale.)

My OT3 BROT5:

Yeah, uh, didn’t really know a good substitute for this one, so just, you know, Omega
