i still can't get over how in the blue shadow virus arc of the clone wars, after a bunch of people were exposed to a dangerous virus, anakin arrived on the planet and ignored both his men (who he is legally responsible for as their commanding officer) and, even worse, ahsoka (his padawan who he is legally responsible for because she is a minor), so that he could run straight to padme's side....

never mind the fact that padme had a hazmat suit for a long while to protect her against the virus, while his men and ahsoka had been exposed for virtually the entire time and were significantly worse off than padme. like padme was still conscious at the time of the rescue, while ahsoka was completely down for the count long before that. never mind the fact that anakin was in contact with them both the entire time and absolutely knew that his padawan was out here struggling ten times more than his wife:

anakin's so absorbed in checking on padme that he doesn't even think to ask about his padawan or his men. it's padme who has to bring up ahsoka, who's being brought in on a different stretcher! only then does he even remember she exists, because even his own padawan is a mere afterthought compared to padme for him!

once she does, anakin does go to ahsoka's side, and he does a good job of reassuring and praising her. when he tries, he can be a pretty good mentor. but that's the key phrase: when he tries. and this episode makes it abundantly clear that if padme is in any amount of danger, even if it's a fraction of the danger that ahsoka is in, he will not try until someone else reminds him.

oh and and all while that's happening, obi-wan is the only one actually sitting with the troops!!!! even though they're anakin's troops!!

anyways prioritizing your wife, an actual adult, over the child in your care who was in significantly more danger, to the point that you have to be reminded of said child's existence, is.... not a great look. it certainly reflects how anakin's fixation on padme has become this all-encompassing thing.

these scenes are all around minute 20 of season 1 episode 18 by the way. check it out yourself, because it's absolutely bonkers.

Ahsoka: If I had a credit for every time I got infected by something deadly that made the capillaries turn almost black just under the surface of my skin and nearly killed me, I would have two credits. Ahsoka: Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

So we know Ahsoka knew about Padme and Anakin and I think she finds out during the blue shadow virus episodes.

Random tidbit I saw, Padme is about to tell Anakin she loves him and the call is cut off before he hears it. Ahsoka was right next to her, sure she could, have been out of it but I need that conversation lmao.

HEY YOUR MOST RECENT ANSWERED ASK INSPIRED SOMETHING. can I request a little something on like Rex’s pov or something during the blue shadow virus, how he felt watching his brothers die from this biological warfare and stuff, pleeeeeeeeeeeease? ❤️ ily, Fi

(Yes, Fi is a clone commando from Republic Commandos, and that’s what I’m calling you now because Fi’s super duper cool)

-Sha 🫡

Look at me, inventing like 7 more clones.

You might hate me for this one.

As always, sorry its so short.

Please send requests!

💔I just lost the only person (SHA THATS U) that calls me Jamie 😭 but Fi sounds cool! Googled him, couldnt find much.

Ilyt Sha.

Rex felt a single tear roll down his cheek as he gently let his brother’s body fall away from his grasp. That was the third Clone they’d lost. The virus made his body ache and his throat was parched, but he didn’t care. His focus was on his brothers, and his sister.

Ahsoka was in the most danger, as she didn’t have the protection their helmets provided - even if it was small - and she was the youngest. Her body wasn’t fully adapted to protect itself from viruses.

Rex stood, glancing to the Togruta and wincing at the bluish purple shade that was creeping along her skin. She looked like she’d been beaten black and blue, covered in ugly bruises. But Rex knew those weren’t bruises, they were something much worse.

He tore his gaze away, praying that his General would find an antidote in time. They quickly wandered off into the tunnels to destroy the remaining droids, and the movement only made him more sick.

He watched a trooper - a shiny named Hige with a sunny and optimistic personality - collapse in the tunnel, groaning as he leaned against the wall. Rex sighed, wrapping his brother up in a hug and heaving him to his feet.

Wordlessly, the group kept moving.

Another tear fell from his eye when Hige dropped, but this time with the weight of death, not the weight of illness. He muttered a prayer as he closed his eyes, mourning the loss of a shiny, another brother. Hige’s batchmate - Jiss - was crying too, but he was trying not to. Ahsoka managed to guide him away from the dead body, the group moving in sorrow.

Four.

Four of them were dead, and Rex knew that the number was going to grow, until he was one of them. It was funny to think that even in death, he was a number, in two ways.

Minutes later they found a pair of droids. Ahsoka leaped forwards, slicing them to pieces, yet Rex could see how sluggish her movements were. She coughed.

As they moved to the next tunnel, the sound of someone falling echoed through the tunnel. Rex turned. Another shiny, gone. This one was Yui, a newly made friend of Jiss and Wez. Well, now, he was dead.

Rex tried to look away as Wez draped an arm over Jiss’ shoulders, pulling him along.

Five.

Soon the number grew to ten.

Wez, Eig, Niner, Chip and Fri were the unfortunate others to die.

Now, Rex was pulling Jiss along.

He wasn’t sure which was worse, being amongst the dead littering the tunnels, or being the survivor. As he watched Jiss silently sob from the loss of his only friends, he felt his heart pang.

Rex held Ahsoka close to him as her body wracked with coughs.

He wasn’t losing her, not her too.

He couldn’t.

But as he held Ahsoka close, he himself felt faint. His head throbbed, and his throat ached. Perhaps this was the feeling of death, creeping up on him?

Jiss hauled him to his feet and shook him.

His helmet was in the tunnel behind them somewhere, revealing his 501st blue curls and his eyes wide with worry. He was pleading with Rex. He was pleading with death himself.

And so Rex kept moving. He carried Ahsoka with him.

He was not going to be among the dead Jiss mourned.

He lived, if not for himself, but for his brothers.

And, for his sister.

Please send requests!

Hope you enjoyed!

Ily all!

Watching the Blue Shadow Virus episodes and, given that Togruta (and therefore Ahsoka) are carnivorous (and putting aside the fact that I think the fact that AHSOKA IS A JUVENILE CARNIVORE IS ADORABLE) I think Ahsoka should have been free to do some biting while she was infected. You know, as a treat.

Fast enough

"No ship can make it in time."

That sentence should seal Padme´s fate, Rex´, Ahsoka´s, sentence everyone still trapped in that bunker to death. Communication hasn´t been answered for hours. The estimated time they have before the airborne virus kills them is almost up. They have the cure, but no way to reach the bunker in time. Even in the fastest ship Naboo has, it´s be three hours, and the fighters can´t transport the neccessary equipment.

Anakin takes two deep breaths. Shoves his grief down, down where it can´t hurt anyone and turn around. He ignores Obi-Wan calling after him and rushes into the hangar. Hurricane stirrs and clambers to his feet, white scales and blue skin rustling like dry paper. As if smelling Anakin´s distress, he turns his massive head to him. The dragon is eleven years old now, nine meters long and four meters at the shoulder, his fire hot enough to incinerate entire swaths of droids. Shakily, Anakin reaches out and presses his hand to the soft snout of the powerfull creature.

"I need you", he whispers desperatly. "Rex needs you."

A genocidal mad scientist and a new female gungan character aren't enough to keep this episode from feeling like another stale entry into the series.

Love when I’m making my SW posts in my insanity corner and someone goes: "you forgot about [thing that happened in clone wars]” Like no baby I didn’t forget I just don’t consider Clone Wars canon ❤️ Hope this helps.

#I didn’t even watch it lmao #I did pick up a lot from just being knee deep in the fandom and fanfics #but like nothing about clone wars is ever going to be a factor in my interpretation of the prequels #cause from what I’ve seen they fucked up MY BOY. MY BABYGIRL #I'm ok with some elements like Rex? Ahsoka? sure I fuck with them but Rush Clovis arc? Blue shadow virus arc? never heard of it thank you ❤#star wars #star wars prequels #Anidala #anakin skywalker #padme Amidala #burntblueberrywaffles #Star Wars insanity hour

I think it would be funny to write a modern au where all the characters have jobs that I currently or formerly had but tbh I write to get away from work so it is unlikely to happen.

#chit chat #'the prequels gang get an unfulfilling job at the hardware store'#ahsoka is a waterer anakin works in the seasonal department cody is an rtm clerk obi wan is the assembly guy #padme works in houseplants i guess #rex could be appliances which is funny because theres a real life rex in appliances at my work #and everyone avoids helping in lumber like the blue shadow virus is over there

Boomerang (part 1)

Vox x Female!Ex!Overlord!Reader

Summary: When Vox proves incapable of cutting Valentino out of his sex life despite his many reassurances, you decide to break it off with him and leave for good. He doesn’t take it so well.

Just to be clear, reader is an artificial intelligence demon, looks super realistic and human-like, but is actually composed of nanotechnology. She was human once though, like all of the other sinners.

INSPIRED BY THIS POST

Part 2—> Chapter Index

"Y/n?" Charlie poked her head through your door. "There's uh, someone here to see you."

You narrowed your eyes, rising from your bed. A bone-weary sigh escaped you. It was obvious who your supposed "visitor" was. "Did you tell him I'm busy?"

Charlie pursed her lips, looking down. Great, so that meant he was throwing a temper tantrum. And she wanted you to sort him out.

"Alright, fine," you pinched the bridge of your nose. "I'm coming." She was generous enough to let you stay, after all. The least you could do was clean up your messes.

When you finally reached the main floor, Vox and Alastor looked about two seconds away from clawing each other's faces off. Cyan blue electricity was sparking along Vox's entire body, and Alastor's shadows curled dangerously behind him, ready to attack at his call.

Seeing him made a hot fury like no other claw its way up your throat. "What the fuck are you doing here?" You growled lowly, balling your fists at your sides.

At the sound of your voice, Vox immediately broke away from Alastor, a giant smile spreading across his screen. "Sweetheart! There you are!"

You stormed up to him, grabbing his wrist and pulling him harshly into a corner. You let go of him once you were sufficiently out of earshot of the others, crossing your arms and leveling him with a furious glare. "You have five seconds to explain yourself."

"Okay, let's just calm down for a second here," he chuckled, but it was an empty sound. "Is it really that weird for me to want to check up on you? After all, you kind of just disappeared," his smile strained.

"Has it ever occurred to you that the reason you couldn't find me was because I don't want to see you?" You smiled sardonically, patience running thin.

"Uh, what?" He laughed, but his smile was frozen. "Why would you not want to see me?"

That was the last fucking straw. "Are you that fucking delusional, Vox?" You snapped, poking him harshly in the chest. "When I said I was done, I meant it. This," you gestured between the two of you. "Is over. I'm done."

Vox twitched, electricity sparking off sporadically from his antennae. He stared at you in stunned silence, his breathing starting to pick up speed as he processed your words. His eyes searched your face for any sign that you were being untruthful, and when he found none, he glanced up at the small crowd of residents and staff gathered, only to lock eyes with a smug Alastor.

Vox's screen glitched, his features twisting in a rage. "So you're replacing me with the radio fucker now, is that it?"

"Oh, really?" You narrowed your eyes. "Just like you replaced me with Valentino?"

"That's different," Vox gritted out.

"Is it?"

"Yes, for one, Val isn't some archaic cannibalistic fucker with a vendetta against me!"

"Who has the vendetta against who here? Cause it seems like you're the one who can't let things go." You watched him splutter on his bullshit for a few seconds before you shook your head in exasperation, the pounding pressure increasing at your temples. "Alright, that's it, we're done here. Get out."

"Y/n," he narrowed his eyes. "You need to think about this."

"Oh I've had plenty of time to think," you grabbed his tie, pulling him closer to bare your teeth menacingly. "Now get out before I put a goddamn virus in your software Vox!" Your face pixelated from rage at the end of your sentence. You let him go with a harsh shove.

For a long moment nobody spoke, a tense silence blanketing over the two of you. You glared at him venomously, chest still heaving from your outburst. And him, he was looking at you like he'd never seen you before. Good, you thought spitefully. It's finally getting through to him.

Vox's mouth hardened into a thin line, his sharp claws nearly drawing blood from his palms. "Why here?"

You closed your eyes. "It’s not a forever thing. I just—I need to be away from everything for a little while, okay?" Everything that we've built together. Reminders of you. "No flashy shit, no fast life, no technology—"

"You're an A.I. model," he said dully.

"Yeah well, you win some you lose some," you sighed, rubbing at your temples. "Look, I don't want to say it again. Leave Vox, I'm serious."

For a hot second, it looked like you were ripping his entire world apart and stomping on the broken pieces, the way he looked at you so lost, before he hastily pulled himself back together. "Fine," he spat out. It sounded like it physically hurt him to say it.

He lifted his chin, adjusted his lapels, and stormed out of the hotel, slamming the door so hard it blew straight off of its hinges, blue sparks of electricity still sizzling from it.

For a few seconds, a thick tension suffocated the room, as everyone took the time to process the shit show they'd just witnessed.

"Well, that was fun!" Alastor's cheery voice punctuated the silence. You glared at him tiredly.

***

If you thought that he would give up like you so nicely asked, you were sadly mistaken.

Turned out it was just a pre-game warm up for this asshole.

At least thrice a week, he made sure to fuck up your peace somehow. Last time it was spray painting the entire hotel electric blue (how, you didn't even want to know). The time before that, it was trying to sneak some of his peeping gadgets in through the window. And the time before that, it was putting your name up on every billboard in the goddamn city with a red heart next to it.

Now, you stood incredulously in front of half of the hotel. As in, the other half was missing. Blown off by a fucking missile. You couldn't make this shit up if you tried.

"What the fuck is going on?" You gritted out, before taking a deep, calming breath.

Vox's electric laughter rang out from a speaker of unknown source. You turned angrily to face the open air.

"Pathetic," he jeered. "You still want to shack up with these losers, Y/n?"

You shook your head slowly, laughing in disbelief. "Wow," you said sarcastically. "You really showed us, didn't you? Feel better about yourself now?"

You punctuated your sentence with a glare, before turning and storming towards the remaining half of the building.

Vox watched you from twenty different angles across his screens. The moment you turned your back, his wide, toothy grin dropped, eyes squeezing shut. He slammed mute on his microphone.

“FUCK!” He banged a fist on the table, breathing heavily. It had been two weeks already, and you still hadn’t come back to him. He was getting desperate now.

A quick glance at the screen showed Alastor’s glitching picture. The radio bastard snapped his fingers with a raised brow, the missing half of the hotel repairing itself instantly.

“Fucking show off,” Vox growled raggedly.

He needed to change tactics. And fast.

***

Nothing. He had nothing.

No plans, no blueprints, no smart and suave moves to get you back.

Every scenario he ran through his head would inevitably end with you walking away from him. If only he could hypnotize you like with everyone else—but you were a tech demon, just like him. More advanced, even. Your firewalls were just too strong.

Vox poured himself another glass of scotch, solemnly glaring up at the ceiling in frustration.

A clawed hand clasped his shoulder, making him grit his teeth.

“You’re looking a little tense, Cariño,” Valentino purred, trailing his fingers up Vox’s neck. “I can help with that~”

Vox shrugged him off, annoyed. “Not in the mood, Val.”

But Valentino was undeterred. “Is this about Y/n?” He murmured, knowing he hit the nail on the head when the other demon tensed considerably. “What’s so special about that bitch anyway, hm? Is it the pussy? You know I’ve got whores lined up for you, baby. Just say the word and—”

“Fuck off, Val!” Vox exploded, electricity sparking in his eye. “I don’t want just any random bitch from the street, okay?! I want Y/n. I want her back,” he spat miserably.

Valentino went silent, his face twisting into a cruel expression. “Don’t you understand?” He growled. “She left you. Betrayed you. And she’s not coming back, ever. The sooner you see that and stop wasting your time, the better.”

He turned away, his heels clacking against the marble floors until the double doors swung closed behind him.

Vox let out a frustrated yell, arcs of electricity shooting out from him and shattering his expensive collection of drinking glasses to smithereens.

***

A tap sounded at your window, making you tense.

Slowly you approached it, generating a pistol from your nanotech and holding it tightly to your chest. You peered out of the blinds, only to find your ex dangling from the window sill.

“Holy shit!” You screeched, jumping back.

“A lil’ help?” he grinned lazily, reaching out for you. You grasped his hand, hauling him inside of your room.

The unmistakably pungent scent of alcohol invaded your senses, making your wrinkle your nose.

“Jesus fucking Christ, are you drunk?” You dragged a hand down your face.

“No,” he hiccuped, shaking his head vehemently, which caused him to lose balance. You grabbed his shoulders, righting him before he fell and broke his screen.

“Oh yeah,” his face lit up in realization, before he reached behind him, pulling out a bouquet of slightly squashed roses. “For you,” he slurred, offering them proudly.

You looked at them in exasperation, before taking them gently from his hands. Bringing them up to your face, you closed your eyes, sniffing them slightly. A sweet floral scent filled your senses as you regarded them.

“They’re pretty,” you remarked quietly.

“Yeah,” he grinned, your eyes flickering up to catch his. “But you’re prettier.” At your lack of reaction, his grin faltered, and he looked down.

“I…” he started, swaying slightly. “I’m sorry.”

You closed your eyes, shaking your head. “Don’t do this.”

“Please come home,” he continued, expression drooping sorrowfully. He clasped your hand, looking up at you pleadingly. “I’ll…I’ll do better, I promise.”

The ache in your heart grew almost unbearable the more you looked at him, so you averted your gaze. “Why don’t you ever say that when you’re sober?”

Vox let go of your hand, sliding down the wall until he landed on his ass. “Scared,” he mumbled.

You crouched down in front of him, lifting his hanging head from his arms. “Of what?” You said gently.

His eyes flickered up to yours, and the raw emotion nearly stole your breath away. “You still won’t want me.”

“Vox…” You closed your eyes, pained.

“Come home,” he whispered hollowly. “Please.”

“You know I can’t do that,” you said thickly, swallowing the lump in your throat.

He looked at you sadly, but resigned. “Yeah, I know,” he lowered his screen back into his arms. “…miss you,” he trailed off quietly, before soft whistling snores could be heard.

You dropped your face in your hands, breathing raggedly. Fuck. Fuckfuckfuck. You had almost fucking caved.

After a moment to compose yourself, you searched his pockets, pulling out his phone (he didn’t even change his password) and dialing a familiar number.

“What the fuck do you want now, Vox?” An irritated feminine voice answered the line.

“Velvette,” you said cooly. “I need a favor.”
