Inspired by the hockey brainrot that has consumed me this playoff series <3
What You Need To Know™️:
Obi-Wan is the main goalie for the Jedi Knights. His number is #11 because that's how many limbs he removed in canon 🥰🥰
Cody is a forward and the Captain of the Ghosts. He's number #21, because 212 is too many digits
Codywan have been married for Several Years despite having not played on the same team since college. You can see Cody's ring in one of the drawings above :) Everyone loves and hates when their teams play each other because these boys might be disgustingly in love but they're even more ridiculously competitive, and they are obnoxious.
Everyone is also aware that at best there is heavy metaphor to Cody putting pucks in his husband's net. At worst they are actively competing to determine who's topping tonight. (Something something catching-v-pitching)
One of Obi-Wan's pet names for Cody is honeybee. This began as light teasing re: his uniform but has become progressively more sappy and genuine. It's one of their favorites around their teammates because it always makes everyone gag and they think it's funny as hell <3
Cody wants to make damn sure no-one forgets that he's Māori, which is why he's rocking the luxurious locks and tattoos. (Yes, this is what that poll was for, and thank you to my bestie @meebles for the suggestion of including some traditional ink <3)
Anakin is sir-not-pictured-here but I like to think that he crashed out and burned his career down in this AU when one of the Knights was injured during a playoff run and he wasn't called up from the affiliate/minor league team <3
post-clone wars happy ending au where cody gets really into baking but he still heaves a sigh and reports "general, our entire left flank has collapsed" with commander like severity except it's about his cake coming out uneven and he's tried to cover it with frosting but the frosting has fallen off
"I am not a general anymore" obi-wan contributes helpfully from outside the kitchen
meanwhile cody is talking to, idk, his novelty gungan whisk or something and they're both side eyeing obi-wan about it
i think marshal commander cody is actually youngest sibling coded
reasons:
1: in legends, alpha-17 was in charge of the 212th for 6-12 months at the start of the war until a traumatic experience and injuries shelved him
2: likewise in canon, cody did not participate in the battle of geonosis. but we DO know that rex did and if rex was there obviously cody shouldve been there if he was eligible to do so.
3: bodying a nine foot four armed cyborg with spinning laserswords without a second thought is so clearly youngest sibling energy there is absolutely no thinking involved no hesitation of the consequences of his actions
conclusion:
cody is excelling at the oldest sibling vibes but the cracks are there if you look
What will they do after the war? It has to end one day, and if (oh, and he hoped desperately for it) they will both survive to see the peace, what will they do? They were never trained for this. They even sleep better with the sounds of the bombs in their ears. For second art prompt of #codexweek
This actually was a thing that was codified into law, in 1972, by a Democratic-controlled congress, the Equal Employment Opportunity Act. The Democrats recognized that the original Executive Order could easily be repealed by a subsequent president's EO, so they spent the next decade pushing iterations of this act in order to make it federal law, which no president can override with an Executive Order-- by definition, an Executive Order applies only to the Executive Branch of the government, and has zero authority over the Legislative or Judicial branch
The anti-discrimination laws that Democrats created, passed, and codified into law are still in place! Trump's executive order is not able to repeal it, which is specifically why the Democrats got to work, after President Johnson's executive order, getting it passed as an actual law.
Trump's executive order is a piece of political theatre. It has no actual impact on the law, it's intended to signal that anyone who wants to break that law has the support of the Executive branch of the US Government.
But again, no big surprise that "Trump and his party try to do something evil, but are stopped because the Democrats did something right" is being spun as a failure on the part of Democrats by the smug white guy on the nazi-owned, nazi-operated social media platform for nazis, where he has a hammer-and-sickle in his display name! Good thing he proudly admits to being ignorant, because he clearly hasn't even reached "schoolhouse rock" levels of proficiency in History and Civics
Everything feels awful right now but it isn't really. We still don't officially have a winner, but regardless of how the presidential election ends up, I wanted to take a minute and find what lights I can in the 3 a.m. darkness. Here's what I know:
* Kentucky overwhelmingly rejected an attempt to undermine the public education system by offering private school vouchers:
Amendment 2 to allow public funds to go to private and charter school education was rejected universally in Kentucky counties when the Assoc
* Delaware has elected a transgender woman to the House of Representatives, the first out trans person of any gender ever elected to congress:
McBride wins Delaware’s at-large House seat against Republican candidate John Whalen III, a former state police officer
* For the first time in history, two Black women will be serving in the senate at the same time, and they are only the fourth and fifth Black women ever elected to the senate:
Democrats Lisa Blunt Rochester from Delaware and Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland both saw victories
* New York State has passed a constitutional amendment enshrining the rights of pregnant people (including the right to an abortion), LGBTQIA+ people, the disabled, immigrants regardless of legal status, and other at-risk groups:
The constitutional amendment faced a tougher-than-expected fight after a right-wing campaign against anti-discrimination protections.
* Democrat Josh Stein has beaten self-avowed Nazi Mark Robinson to become governor of North Carolina:
Stein is the current attorney general and he noted his work winning opioid settlements. But it was controversy over Robinson’s inflammatory
That's everything I know off the top of my head. It's not many bright spots, but it's not zero. I'm going to try to find more and I'll add them to the post. It's the only thing I can think of to do that isn't sobbing and throwing up or looking up Canadian immigration rules.
If you know more good news, I encourage you to add it in reblogs.
* Nevada has amended their constitution to guarantee abortion rights, overturning a state ban:
Get live results and maps from the 2024 Nevada general election.
* Colorado has passed amendment 79, guaranteeing the right to an abortion, with more than a 20 point spread between the Yes and No vote:
This means that now, the right to an abortion is codified into the state constitution and a future state legislature cannot restrict it.
* Maryland Question 1, also focused on reproductive rights and abortion, has passed as well: https://www.cnn.com/election/2024/results/maryland/issue-1
Question 1 on the Maryland ballot offers voters the choice to enshrine reproductive rights in the state’s constitution. View the 2024 ballot
* Likewise, Amendment 3 has passed in Missouri, overturning a near-total ban to add reproductive rights to the state constitution:
Missourians voted to enshrine reproductive health rights into the state’s constitution Tuesday by voting yes on Amendment 3.
* Arizona Proposition 139 to protect abortion rights also passed:
Get live results and maps from the 2024 Arizona general election.
"i bring a sort of used to be a clone commander in a past life sort of vibe to the sharpshooting competition that the opposition really does not like" -Cody probably
