@clonexocweek Day 1: Secret Glances

Enjoy mini art and fic blub!!

Day 2 | Day 3 | Day 4 | Day 5 | Day 6

authors note: hey guys i’m so sorry this art is so lacking emotion and depth… i had to rip Seris from a character sheet i was working on for lack of time… ALSO this is my first digital art piece ever *gulp* so yeah I know it is not great and I don’t know how to render but I hope you enjoy this sketch anyway! also used a side profile @zaana did of Tech as an inspo!

anywhere he's a little drabble of them meeting and talking for the first time! sorry there isn't more, my irl duties have been intense lately!

The clone they called Tech barely looked at Seris when Rex said her name.

His goggles were already angled back toward his datapad before the introduction was finished, fingers moving in small, efficient strokes across the screen, and she found herself watching those hands longer than she thought appropriate. He had more equipment strapped to his armor than the others, small instruments and tools slotted into every available surface. He wore all of it with casual ease, a solider or some sort of technician used to the weight of his loadout.

She stopped noticing him eventually. She had a room full of people to hold in her attention, a mission to absorb, Rex's grave voice mapping a path into dangerous territory. The unconscious assassin on the table. Omega's small, fierce questions cutting through the briefing like light under a door. There was plenty to occupy her.

Which is why it took her a moment to realize, when the group shifted toward the corridor and the low preparations for departure, that Tech had matched his stride to hers.

His datapad was still in hand but his eyes now flicked sideways with an attention that was oddly thorough. She felt it move across her face, her posture, the circular headpiece at her brow, the way her hands settled at her sides when she was thinking.

"Your headpiece contains Helerian truth and justice symbols," he said, in an even tone. "Traditional emblems from your homeworld's philosophical tradition. Predating its inclusion in the Republic by approximately seven centuries."

Seris missed a step.

"You're familiar with Helerian cultural history?"

"I maintain databases on planetary cultural identifiers," he replied. "Useful for mission contexts."

The explanation sat in the air between them, tidy and sufficient. She considered it, gently turned it over, while her years of diplomatic training for the Senate mulled it over more thoroughly.

He had catalogued seven centuries of Helerian philosophy for mission contexts?

"Of course," she said, and she matched his tone so precisely that the corner of his mouth shifted just slightly.

”speech abled ≠ not allowed to use aac”/“me being able to talk doesn’t mean i can’t use/don’t need aac” + “don’t call my aac’s voice weird”

i made this instagram post !!! there isn't as big of a community of AAC users on instagram so I thought I would share this on my instagram (@cytochromesea).

EDIT: i got an ask that states that not everyone knows what AAC is which is an oversight on my part, it stands for alternative and augmentative communication!

Image ID:

A light blue background with a rainbow and a cloud and some stars. There is a blue border collie with wings holding an aac tablet that says I love you! Text reads: AAC etiquette. Do’s, Don’ts, and other stuff. By cytochrome sea.

The same background appears in every following slide. Text reads:

AAC is my voice! It is not a toy or accessory

Don’t touch my AAC without my permission

Don’t take my AAC away from me, for any reason (joke, punishment, etc)

Don’t press buttons randomly or flip through my communication cards without permission

How would you like it if I randomly poked you on the mouth and throat (or on your hands if you sign)? It would be unpleasant, so don’t do that to me

Some AAC users can speak sometimes. It is not your business why someone can or cannot talk

Don’t ask questions about why an AAC user cannot speak. 

Do let us communicate however is best for us in that moment

Don’t ask us if or when we will be able to speak verbally. It’s not your business 

Do not value verbal speech more highly than AAC. Any communication is good communication

Some of us never talk, either, and that’s ok! Those of us who can talk sometimes are not better than those of us who can’t. None of us owe you an explanation for our use of AAC.

Don’t look at my screen until I show you. It feels really invasive!

It feels like when someone is looking at your phone screen over your shoulder, so please don’t do this

This applies to low tech AAC as well, don’t look at someone’s cards or letter board until they show you

You have the dignity of forming your thoughts in your head before you say them, whereas my thoughts are all on display. Please afford me the same dignity that you get automatically.

Don’t shame someone for not being able to speak verbally. It makes us feel horrible

We are real people with thoughts and feelings. Please treat us with kindness. 

We are trying our best

Don’t shame someone if their device mispronounces a word. It’s quite literally out of our control.

Other Don’ts. Don’t

Don't Treat an AAC user as childish or stupid for not being able to speak. Our ability to speak does not define our worth

Don't Show frustration at the way someone communicates

Don't Make comments about how fast or slow we communicate

Also don’t…

don't Act surprised when we swear or talk about adult topics like sex, drugs, or violence. We are not pure uwu precious smol beans, we are normal fucking people

don't Assume what is “wrong” with us. There are about a hundred reasons for someone to use AAC and you probably aren’t the expert in any of them.

“OK, so what CAN i do?” im glad you asked! When interacting with an AAC user, DO…

Ask us how we prefer to communicate and support us as you are able

Assume that we are competent

Talk to us with the same respect, tone and vocabulary that you would for any one else

Give us money (this one is a joke)

Understand that AAC grammar isn’t perfect and we are doing our best

Is it rude if…

I can’t understand your device? Not rude! Misunderstandings happen all the time in any conversation, just be patient as you would normally. 

I want to complement your AAC? Not rude!

I ask to see your AAC and understand how it works? This isn’t rude if you are already talking about AAC, but don’t ask random strangers this. They don’t owe you an AAC tour. 

Thank you for listening! This post is for the community! If you are an AAC user, let me know if I missed something in the comments and I will pin it! I hope you are filled with peace and love and I hope something good happens to you today! End ID.

We. Can. Hear. You.

It’s AAC Awareness Month! AAC (Augmentative and Alternative Communication) is more than just high tech devices like the one depicted here. It includes picture books/cards, sign language, writing it down, Spelling to Communicate - basically anything that conveys a message that is not speech. 

And anyone can use it! If you are non-speaking, unreliably speaking, not-yet speaking, or just find words hard sometimes, then AAC is for you. There is no “non-speaking enough” threshold you have to meet - if it makes your life easier, go ahead and use it.

AAC is empowering. People routinely talk about autistic kids and adults like they’re not even in the room, even when they CAN speak. (Which, if you’re someone who does this, STOP IT RIGHT NOW.) This parent could have assured this asshole professional person that her son could understand til they were blue in the face, and they wouldn’t have been believed if he hadn’t been able to communicate it for himself. 

Communication is a right. Don’t let anyone try to discourage AAC on the basis of it hindering speech or “being the easy way out” or whatever other nonsense they come up with. AAC *enhances* communication, and everyone deserves the ability to communicate their needs, tell you their thoughts and feelings, share their hopes and dreams, and tell people to fuck off when needed. 😉

Hey y'all. Bad news. Google is getting worse in a very short amount of time. If you haven't already heard, starting July of this year, 2026, Samsung messages will officially close. And they are all pushing android users to download a google messaging app... that isn't great because Google and Israel are in bed together. They have a 1.2 billion dollar contract with google to monitor messaging.

View this post on Instagram

And in September of this year google is rolling out an update that will nonconsensually block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with Google, signed their contract, paid up, and handed over government ID. Y'all shit's getting worse and worse. If you need to get a new phone avoid these big names. Make sure it ain't in bed with these giants like Google or Apple of you can. More info on this here:

Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.
