Oh my God Shadow your Crosshair x Shadow fluff waters my crops, clears my skin, and gives me life. I love this so so much. I adore Crosshair here. Always love these quiet, tender moments with him.

Your banter is my absolute favorite; no one can do it quite like you. It’s bloody brilliant and has me howling every single time lol. You come up with the best comebacks and teases, hands down.

[soclonely]

But hear me out

Plo Koon after noticing how crappy the Trooper ID photos are in their files decides to organize a GAR-wide "Picture Day" like we had in school where uniforms had to be worm but you could add little touches like Boost walking in with a lil clip on bowtie or Tup with a pretty hair ribbon.

Plo proceeding to stand there, dip a comb in water, and give Wolffe a little comb over while he stands there grumbling before getting his photo taken

The camera man confused, because he was told it was a family photo day so he brought his little hand puppets to entertain what he thought would be children, uses Barry the Bantha puppet to tell jokes to Dogma who refuses to smile on demand until the 5th Bantha joke gets him to let out the biggest laugh and CLICK! New photo

[starlightrows]

Someone is the kid who got confused and thought it was pajama day (Waxer??)

Someone else put on their most fly outfit but got a stain on it FIVE minutes before they went to take their picture (KIX)

Someone was mad confident about their ability to do their own hair… and uh, while their confidence adorable and appreciated, it is 100% misplaced (Boost)

Someone always blinks… and that someone is Jesse.

[soclonely]

Fives and Echo INSIST that they are each other. So Fives photo is under echos record and echos is under fives

[starlightrows]

Cody didn’t come in on actual picture day. So his is like one of the shitty ones taken in a random hallway not really smiling that lands up in the back of the yearbook.

[soclonely]

oof mood cody thats my senior pic. I skipped for a rock concert and did a makeup photo

Rex's looks like he has been crying, which he had because General Skywalker had just talked to him about another great idea that will most surely involve in him being thrown a few hundred yards by the force

[communistkenobi-archive]

maul is not like the antithesis of obi-wan but the negation of him. or rather specifically what obi-wan stands for (which is just the jedi order As An Institution). and the only way obi-wan is ever able to process the fatal contradictions that maul poses is to kill him, because you cannot acknowledge those contradictions (ie, the myth of meritocracy & cosmic justice) and FULLY internalise what they mean without giving up on the jedi order As An Institution and obi-wan is incapable of doing that. so he kills maul

[gffa]

THIS PARALLEL DOES NOT GET ENOUGH CREDIT. Obi-Wan, in being unable to kill Anakin, because he could never do it, he could never force himself to make that last stroke to end Anakin’s life, he just could not do it, feels as though he let the Emperor win because of it. Luke faces exactly the same situation and it isn’t that Obi-Wan is saying that Luke has to kill him (George Lucas was explicitly clear on that he had to be ready to do it, if Vader tried to kill him, not that he absolutely had to, that’s not what Obi-Wan and Yoda were saying), but that he has to be ready for it to be a possibility that will come up. Obi-Wan himself failed at accepting that possibility, even when he went to Mustafar to face down Anakin, to beat him in that fight, even able to cut off his limbs.  But he genuinely could not kill Anakin and because of this Vader lived and went on to hurt, kill, or enslave millions of people in the galaxy, because of this, the Emperor won.  Because Obi-Wan couldn’t set aside his feelings in the moment that was most crucial, even when there was no other way around that Mustafar confrontation.  Yoda was right, he couldn’t have faced Sidious, either. And the reason Luke can succeed where Obi-Wan couldn’t, where Padme couldn’t, where Ahsoka couldn’t, is because Anakin cannot face what he’s done and live with it, he cannot face the look on Obi-Wan’s face, on Padme’s face, on Ahsoka’s face, when they know him, when they knew who he was, when they know what he’d done.  Even if they forgive him, they’ll always see who he had been and how he fell and Anakin can’t make peace with that and live.  But Luke only sees the future, he doesn’t know much of the past, he only knows that there’s still light in Anakin.  And Anakin can let go because he doesn’t have to face how far he’d fallen from the person he once had been, not and still live. This was a miracle and one that nobody was happier about than Obi-Wan, but his advice isn’t wrong either, from his experience.  His inability to face the truth of Anakin’s fall and the consequences of it, his inability to let go of his feelings for Anakin, is what allowed Darth Vader to live.  Darth Vader made his own choices, nobody is responsible for them but him, but Obi-Wan certainly feels the weight of, if he had killed Anakin then, if he had been able to do that when Anakin forced his hand, then they wouldn’t be in as bad of a situation as they are now. And that makes sense from his point of view–and, had Anakin been unwilling to let go of his own hate and rage, had Anakin been unwilling to give up his own life for Luke’s, it’s entirely possible that Sidious would have deep fried Luke and the galaxy would have been in his clutches still yet, the Emperor would have won again.  If Obi-Wan couldn’t stop Anakin, if Padme couldn’t stop Anakin, if Ahsoka couldn’t stop Anakin, it’s entirely reasonable that Obi-Wan would think Luke couldn’t stop Anakin, either. Because Obi-Wan knows who Anakin was, Obi-Wan loved him, and he knows exactly how those feelings can be used against you and evil will triumph.

Rex's Biggest Regret

So I've been thinking about this scene right here:

I always found it odd that Rex would mention Hevy in that list despite only knowing him for such a short amount of time. Especially when you think of Hardcase who we know has fought beside him for a long time or Tup who died right before Fives. That is until I remembered what happened in the episode Rookies when Rex goes:

And later in the episode we see this:

And then it shows Rex leaving first because "I'm always first."

And we all know how that episode ends.

Now move ahead to Plan of Dissent and what do we see?

Rex is in the back. He probably blamed himself for Hevy's death and felt guilty for being the first one out not even realizing Hevy wasn't with them. He was the one to give Hevy the job to fix the remote. He never stopped to check if Hevy was behind them until it was to late. He mentions Hevy because he was probably Rex's biggest regret. He was a shiny who just saw real combat for the first time. Rex probably spent nights lying awake thinking of how Hevy's death could have been avoided. Of what he could have done different. It's something he probably never lets himself forget.

The Clones and What They Think About Palpatine

Rex- Skywalker trusts him, so that means we can too…. right? Echo- Indifferent. I’m just here to do my futy Fives- *slams on tinfoil hat* Where do I even fucking start.. Well for one, the guy is an alien. He isn’t even from Coruscant.  Jesse- He isn’t a Pal or a Teen, not friendly  Kix- LMFAO have you seen his wardrobe? How can someone from Naboo wear clothes that look like some old ladys curtains? Tup- Terrible hairline. Maybe I should give him some tips and tricks.  Dogma- He’s a politician of course I don’t like him Hardcase- 0 stars. Will send him back to Amazon AND pay them to take him. Don’t need a refund Coric- Concerned about his hygeine. every time he passes buy he smells like rotten eggs Bly- The perfect ugly friend to take to a bar with you. 99- he sucks at seniors bingo night. Cody- Wants me to execute order 6-something. I dunno I hung up before he could finish Waxer/Boil- Not a grandfatherly figure for our children. Wolffe- He reminds me of Old Daka the night sister *shudders* Boost/Sinker- Lol bet we can get him to slip down an elevator shaft Hunter- Senses something a bit… electrifying about the chancellor.  Wrecker- fights the uge to throw him three systems over Tech- knows he is a sith, he has done his research. blackmails the chancellor for science funding Crosshair- Wants to set palps up on a date with professor umbridge

AHHHHHH OMG SHADOW.

THESE CHAPTERS ARE KILLING ME IN THE BEST WAY.

THAT HUNTER SPICE.

I WAS

INCOHERENT.

IT’S SO SOFT YET STEAMY

IT’S PERFECT LIKE HOLY MOLY THAT DID SOMETHING TO A LADY.

AND THEN WE HAVE CROSSHAIR.

THE TONE SHIFT IS A++++ AS ALWAYS.

OKAY you always come for my feels with these Crosshair POVS and they are just super satisfying. I always look forward to where you’ll take him next. This chapter was a key shift in mindset for him.

Boom. And so Crosshair decides to trust.

He has clarity and assurance that he CAN. That he can trust Shadow—that he DOES.

Now he just needs to stop wallowing in his penance.

He is literally at his wits end here and he just wants peace of mind more than anything. It just breaks my heart. He’s so paranoid, over-analyzing everything and succumbing to the nasty voices in his head; you can just feel his turmoil and disarray radiating off him in heaps. He trusts Shadow but as you so skillfully said, he feels like he’s walking in thin ice. He’s too busy fretting over the prospect of messing up; it’s literally become an all-consuming train of thought. It’s like he’s got tunnel vision. With every single thing he does he wonders when he’ll fall out of Shadow’s good graces, wonders when she’ll finally leave him.

That’s no way to live. That’s a very stunted and lonely way.

So Crosshair trusts Shadow but that’s only half of the puzzle. He’s still got a long way to go. And I’m excited for the rest of the journey.

You mentioned in there how Crosshair hates physical contact, because physical contact to a sniper meant his position had been compromised—and WOW. That just hit me so damn hard. I never actually considered it like that. This was really really good Shadow, and it honestly makes complete sense. Snipers are not meant to be touched. They are always positioned far away, not in close-quarter fighting. So the parallels there were excellent.

Also when Shadow brought him his favorite part of the meat. The thoughtfulness there, and the way Crosshair slowly came to because of that was so sweet.

As always I love this and you so much. I’m very sorry to hear that things are so rough going for you. Take all the time you need and you know I’m always here.

———

Also the Crosshair x Shadow cuddle segment from To the Far Reaches was so damn adorable. I love that they got to experience their first cuddle session together. It was a really vindicating experience.

Aww HELL YEAH THIS CHAPTER WAS LIT I LOVED IT.

WRECKER’S ENTIRE SEGMENT IN THE BEGINNING. PERFECTION. Anytime you do a Wrecker POV it’s utterly delightful. I loved the energy, his psychotic delight over the battle and overall exuberance felt VERY Wrecker. Loved that so so much.

OKAY THE CRAZED ROLLIE. LMAO I WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT AT ALL BUT LET ME SAY I GOT A KICK OUT OF IT. The mental image it provided. XDD Now I actually need to see a Droideka just completely disregard its target and go slamming around into trees. XD

Also the vines. Miss Kiesha. XDD I always love the insertion of vines and the boys’ reactions to them lmao.

AND WILD BOARS. KARKING HELL.

I shouldn’t have found that funny but I did very much enjoy the murderous porkers throughout. XD

OKAY OKAY

*WHEEZE*

TECH.

TECH’S ENTIRE SEGMENT

WAS AMAZING.

AND I LOVED IT SO MUCH.

I seriously LOVE that Tech got his moment here. The crush admission and the events leading up to it were so gosh darn cute and honestly GOOD FOR HIM for taking initiative like that. XD

The whole thing was so very sweet and left me all warm and fuzzy. Tech depicting his crush as a bunch of symptoms. XD

This is one of my favorite parts. I really enjoyed getting to see Tech sift through his budding feelings; this part just delivered really well and had me feeling some sort of way. It was really profound. Like, babe is jealous and nervous and trying to navigate the strangeness of it all and I just love the entirety of this conversation here. Him being worried about making a fool out of himself in Shadow’s culture literally had me like🥺.

ALRIGHT ALRIGHT AND THAT LAST SEGMENT OF THE CHAP WAS EPIC.

BLOW THEM PORKERS TO HELL.

ENDORSEMENT FROM CROSSHAIR.

HELLLLL YEAHHHHHH.

[divorceddadrock]

I have a very spicy and galaxy-brained take that none of you are prepared for but I’m gonna say it anyway.

[divorceddadrock]

[divorceddadrock]

To clarify: In Star Wars: the Clone Wars season 1 episodes 11 and 12 “Dooku Captured” and “The Gungan General” (2009), Anakin Skywalker and Obi-Wan Kenobi meet Hondo Ohnaka for the first time when they, along with Count Dooku, are captured and held for ransom by him. This establishes the dynamic between Anakin, Obi-Wan and Hondo. Later, in season 5 episode 5 “Tipping Points” (2012), the conclusion to the Onderon story arc, since the Jedi and the Republic cannot directly interfere with the Onderon Rebellion, Anakin pays Hondo to deliver heavy weapons to the Onderon rebels so that the rebels will get the reinforcements they need but Republic will have plausible deniability, so overall Hondo has a small but very impactful role in the Onderon arc. The Onderon arc is crucial to the backstory and overall character arc of Saw Gerrera, who eventually becomes a huge pain in the Empire’s ass, but most notably raises and trains Jyn Erso, who then goes on to lead the mission to steal the plans for the first Death Star. In addition, Dooku later sends Grievous to destroy Hondo’s stronghold to get payback which is the beginning of how Hondo eventually loses his crew, which results in him eventually meeting Ezra Bridger, thus getting involved with the Rebellion, and in Star Wars: Rebels season 3 episodes 1 and 2 “Steps Into Shadow Parts 1 and 2″ (2017), Hondo informs the growing Rebellion of some old Republic Y-Wings in the possession of the Empire and helps them steal the Y-Wings before the Empire dismantles them. Those Y-Wings later become a key part of the Rebel Alliance fleet, and are the SAME Y-Wings used during the battle against the first Death Star. In conclusion, if Hondo Ohnaka had not decided to hold two Jedi and a Sith Lord hostage to make a quick million that one time, then the Death Star would never have been destroyed.

[agoddamn]

A lot of fic is predicated on the assumption of the Dark Side being a potential break-glass-in-case-of-emergency Hail Mary power-up. It's in like a zillion of them; the hero is losing the fight, he unzips Dark Side and wins, then gets unfairly persecuted for just trying to survive. But--like Force exhaustion--I don't think there's much evidence of that, either.

TPM:

Maul vs Obi-Wan and Qui-Gon: there's no indication that Obi-Wan leaned into the Dark Side here, or, rather, that Obi-Wan won because he leaned into the Dark Side. He wins after he calms down, even.

AotC:

Anakin vs Dooku: if Anakin tried to summon more power here, it sure didn't work.

RotS:

Anakin vs Dooku: Anakin does win this fight after getting visibly upset, but Anakin was also always meant to win this fight. This was a fixed encounter, and I hesitate to use it as weighty evidence.

Anakin vs Obi-Wan: if Anakin tried to summon more power here, it sure as shit didn't work.

ANH

Dark Side didn't keep Vader from being punted into space like a field goal

ESB:

I'm not sure what you could even suggest as potential line-toeing here. Ironically, neither Luke nor Vader achieves their objective on Bespin. If the Dark Side is a hax power-up, nobody used it here.

RotJ:

Luke vs Vader and Sidious: so here's the clearest case for a Dark Side power-up--Luke goes from getting bodied by Vader to just hammering him. A version of the script says this:

It does say "realizes he is using the dark side" right there! But it also says that Luke has grown much stronger since Bespin. I can agree that Luke drew on the dark, but I don't think his moment of superiority came solely from the dark side. I don't think this was a Super Saiyan level of magic power jump.

And Vader was not on his A-game, either; even Like can feel how conflicted he is, and Darth Vader absolutely does not want anyone to know he feels like that.

I also think it's worth pointing out that being able to pound Vader like that didn't actually save the day for Luke. If he had killed Vader right there and attempted to finish off Palpatine still in full loyalty to the Rebellion, he would have gotten fucked--as he does immediately after this scene, when Palpatine accepts his refusal and effortlessly fries him. It was not a case of "Luke could have won if he'd just taken a lil bit of dark side, as a treat".

tl;dr I don't the dark side is a powerlevel button. Sith are not powerful because they can throw chairs around harder than the Jedi ever could, they're powerful because they're willing to do that unethically. They all talk it up as hot shit because the entire arc of every Sith is someone who starts buying their own bullshit.

e: actually, that's a better way of phrasing it--the dark side is exactly like cocaine in that you FEEL like it's given you all sorts of power but its effect is nothing more mystical what than you'd have gotten from an adrenaline rush.

[jedi-order-apologist]

We also have, in ESB, Luke asking whether the Dark Side is stronger and Yoda emphatically answering that it’s not. I suppose a viewer doesn’t have to take Yoda at his word but there’s really nothing to suggest he’s wrong about this when he’s not just there to teach Luke, but also the audience about the Force.

I think a lot of the misconception stems from the popular trope (outside of Star Wars) of characters getting mad and that’s what lets them win. But Star Wars is, in some sense, an active rejection of that trope.

[wildcreativemastermind]

If anything, doesn’t Star Wars support the idea of the light side being more powerful?

TPM: Obi-Wan uses anger and then is about to get killed (would have if Maul didn’t waste time gloating). He calms down, uses (and trusts) the Force to get himself out of the pit, grab the lightsaber, and defeat his enemy.

AOTC: Dooku gets defeated by Yoda. He has try to crush Obi-Wan and Anakin, while they’re defenseless, to distract Yoda so he can get away. Because Yoda is skilled with a lightsaber and is able to use the Force to not be hurt by lightning (which was awesome).

ROTS: Obi-Wan manages to win the battle against Anakin, and Palpatine fails to kill Yoda

ANH: “If you strike me down, I shall become more powerful then you can possibly imagine” and Obi-Wan becomes a ghost. Also, Luke uses the Force (probably as calmly as he could in that situation) and manages to blow up the Death Star.

ESB: Not really an example here, Luke was defeated because he wasn’t ready.

ROTJ: Yes, Luke beat Vader while he was angry (and it does seem he tasted the dark side), but he would’ve been killed had he done anything to Palpatine. Bringing Vader back to the light ends up being what defeats Palpatine and saves the galaxy.

The dark side seems able to grant someone some power at extremely high cost, with the person’s mental health going to shit and the people they care about getting hurt. Anakin trusts the dark side to save his wife, then he commits genocide and his wife dies, largely because of him. He isn’t even any more powerful either.

The light side has people work really hard to learn abilities. Yoda literally had to fight his own dark side in order to learn how to manifest himself after death. But the abilities actually work, they do get more powerful, and it doesn’t come at crazy high costs like being responsible for genocide.

note on my advice in the next paragraph: you don’t have to take it if you don’t want to. I’m not here to police how other people’s fics go. The advice is just something I think would help fics feel more Star Wars and more enjoyable for me to read.

My advice for any Star Wars fic writers who want to give their characters a power-up, have them get tested by the Force and then give them the power-up. This could also give an extra chance for character development or introspection. And you don’t have to worry about your character being shunned! And if you just want something lighthearted or humorous (but still want the power-up), make the test lighthearted and/or silly. Who says the Force can’t have a sense of humor?

[gffa]

The dark side is alluring because it’s easy to give in to frustration and anger, because the dark side is quicker and easier, but it comes with the cost of your mental health going to shit and you generally don’t get what you actually wanted/you drive everyone away because you’re being an absolute asshole. The light side is a lot harder, it takes a lifetime of discipline to choose the light every day, to do the hard work to build yourself up, to face and let go all the toxic crap inside you, to really earn your skills. The dark side is powerful, but it’s not more powerful.  It’s an easier shortcut that will always, by narrative structure, come around to bite you in the ass again.

[soclonely]

Sometimes when I am on vacation and touring a museum or park, I like to imagine being a tour guide to the clone troopers on a much needed vacation of their own, and trying to figure out what part of the museum each of the boys would be interested in. But no matter what, the whole group would have to wait for Echo to finish reading every single information plaque in the exhibit.

The Musings Of Mauly

The Disaster first post

Maul Coffee Barist Diary Entry 1

Entry 2

Dear Diary…

It has been the longest week of my devastatingly tragic life here on this blasted planet.. Coruscant is becoming over run by troopers of the 501st as they are on planet for war… A few of these fellows seem to pop in once or twice a day for our pastries and to as Jessica puts it.. flirt… with us. One of them, a man they call Jesse, seems to have taken an extra special liking to me. The clueless fool..

In happier news… While in disguise in this disguise, Jessica and I wandered over to our rival coffee shops business to poke around and get ideas as to how we can pick up business and there he was, my brother Savage. He somehow managed to survive himself and also ended up in Coruscant, in disguise as well. I did not know what to say. He is alive and well, wearing a wig exactly like mine and… WORKING FOR the enemy! How dare he. Our triple espresso drinks are ten times better than theirs and affordable. Its unbelievable. I feel betrayed, heartbroken. He says I am missing the Big picture, that we are on Coruscant and can take on Darth Sidious once more but he does not understand I cannot just drop everything and plan. It is finals week next week and I am really enjoying my Intro to Galactic Policies class. Sandra (thats his disguise name, i scoff at the simplicity) will just have to keep our plans on hold until the semester is over. 

I must go, my flimsie little friend. Regina is coming over to assist me in polishing my horns and I must prepare refreshments. Until our next meeting

Mauly <3

Wash Away the Nightmare: CrosshairxShadow Comfort Fic

Didn’t get the PDF of Off to a Great Start out today but perhaps I can offer a fic of a different caliber. 

For those who know about that spoiler leak, you know exactly want this nightmare is about.

This is a short little self-indulgent comfort fic I wrote for myself, but maybe y’all can find some comfort in it as well.

Oh my gosh...

This is too precious and sweet.

I was very sniffly reading through. :’)

I love this so much. It’s so calming and comforting, which is exactly what you were going for so that delivered in every aspect of the word. I think this is the perfect antidote for us Crosshair folks right now. You have done a great service.

I love how he went into the water. It’s so profound. He doesn’t like the water. But he pushes through, for Shadow. And he does so gracefully. I’ve said time over again that Crosshair is a giving soul. He will give and contribute without thought. When he’s surrounded by people where devotion is mutual and he can fully apply himself, Crosshair can be the most selfless, reliable, loving person. I love how that is a recurring theme.

I love how reassuring he is too, so adamant, it’s almost like he’s telling us, you know? That everything’s okay, because that’s not him, and no matter what happens, whatever transpires, nothing can ever stave off the Crosshair we’ve forged and loved in our hearts all this time. That Crosshair will always have a special place; the dream, the vision, it belongs to us, and no one can ever take it away. This fic helped me realize that.

Aannddd now I cry. :’D

[soclonely]

If the Clonetrooper bois became dads

Rex- Look, overprotective dad that keeps him as far away from Anakins infuence as possible. Echo- The type of parent to try everything they can out of the book. Like, dedicated and trying to read as he is changing a diaper. Eventually he gets it Fives- Literally the opposite of Echo. Just winging it dad. He learns as he goes along because he realizes every baby is different and has different needs Jesse- Don’t even look at this mans baby. The mom is lucky if she even gets to hold him/her. Daddys little buddy forever Kix- Would struggle alot with not being able to give his kid everything they deserve. A lot of trying t make up for things he shouldnt feel bad about.  Tup- Bless. Tup makes a better uncle than he does a dad. They pull his hair, braid it, and then he sends them back to the parents at the end of the day Dogma- The ultimate baby snuggler. Hardcase- Dancing in the kitchen with baby in the baby carrier just having fun and laughing together Coric- awkward dad, calls the doctor for every little thing. Loving and worrywart Bly- Ultimate dad energy. It just makes him fall more in love with his partner 99- Encouraging dad, tells the best bedtime stories Cody-workaholic dad who learns he needs to slow down in life when he hears from his wife that their little one took their first steps and he realizes oh snap, they are old enough to walk and I missed that Waxer/Boil- As soon as they have one, they want another. Wolffe- His favorite time with baby is nighttime feedings and cuddling in the chair in the nursery. its common to walk in with baby fast asleep on his chest as he dozes off himself Boost/Sinker- Doesn’t realize he wants to be a dad until that little bundle of wrinkly energy is in his arms at the hospital.  Hunter- A very hands off parent in the start. he realizes he isnt in his element and supports every decision his partner makes for their child. BUT IS THE BEST TODDLER PARENT Wrecker- “wrecker sweetie the diapers on backwards” Tech- *sweats nervously* Crosshair- detached but protective. likes to sneak into the room when alone and could stare at his sleeping son or daughter for hours. but as soon as the baby makes the slightest movement he DROPS to the floor and quietly crawls out of there
