#the 13th battalion

[deadstarsrisingsblog]

Before Archon was Jaro Tapal's Commander, he was just a captain.

And he was decanted wrong.

AKA my submission for the @cloneoczine, which never quite made it off the ground. So happy to finally share this piece! (And finally strike it off my Mental Checklist).

Hi!!!! Brain Gremlins are attacking me today and now I have ideas that I can't draw For the l4j time-travel AU, is it before or during the Clone Wars? If it's during, how do the Clones react to Cal and Ahsoka being suddenly Old?

yeah there's a real difference in reactions:

Cal Kestis Week 2024, day 4: Ponchos

I received This Lovely Treat from the wonderful @iwishtocountthestars and decided to do art about it

Cadet Commander Kestis left an… impression on the Alpha Class when the 13th Battalion stocked up on a supply run to Kamino. His Commander is debating whether he should have bothered trying to keep the Cadet in arms length. It probably wouldn’t have helped.

(Alpha 17 will never forget the strange Jetii Cadet that apologised to a door. He thinks about it when the Cadets he trains are being strange. It gives him comfort, and a strange fascination with the happenings of Jetii Cadets.)

Random clone and padawan headcanons

I will die on the hill that every padawan was extremely connected to/close with their clone battalion

Certain clones have closer bonds, but every clone trooper saw anywhere from a child to barely teenager standing in front of them on their Venator and went “protective instincts initiated”

Ahsoka and the 501st are the closest only because Anakin encouraged they interact with the men as if they were troopers and not their commanding officers whenever not in a professional setting (think missions camps, off duty, in transit to missions). This helped Ahsoka acclimate because it reminded her of the crèche days and the bond she formed with her crèche mates

With that said, Rex was fondest of Ahsoka (big bro mode activated double time when he saw a child standing in front of him) but she and Fives together were his biggest headache

Cal was a babay when the war started so the 13th battalion, yes respected him as their commander, but their relationship was much more "little bro surrounded by 100s of big bros" (with how young Cal was, I firmly believe he rarely saw the field)

Cal loved to watch the clones train, and once and awhile they'd let him join in on their sparring. Due to the fact he was maybe 100lbs wet, they'd go easy on him, but it was the highlight of Cal's day

Caleb/Kanan wanted to be the cool commander so badly. Like so so so so badly. During down time, you'd find him in the mess hall with a group of clones around him while he told what he thought were his coolest stories or about all the cool things he's done on Coruscant (Depa Billaba would never admit it, but she enjoyed coming to the mess during these times and oh so casually correcting an over-embellishment of Caleb's like oh interesting she doesn't remember him pulling off a double flip she remembers him face planting in the temple fountains, but maybe that was another time. Caleb gives her the "mom stop embarrassing me in front of my friends" look and she laughs to herself as she walks away)

To help pass the time while Jaro was leading a campaign on the ground and Cal was on the Venator, Cal and the clones not involved in the battle would play a version of hide-and-seek. One time Jaro came back from the battle to a bunch of sheepish clones admitting they had no idea where his padawan was after they'd been seeking for him for over an hour. That's when they learned Cal can fit into spaces previously thought only a mouse could access

Ahsoka was a very curious teenager who loved to learn. Much to Rex's chagrin. After Christophsis, back on the Resolute on their way back to Coruscant which was a day or so journey, Ahsoka followed Rex around asking a million questions about life on Kamino, their training, what it was like growing up surrounded by the same face, who his favorite trooper was, who his favorite Jedi was, what his least favorite part of the ship was, etc.

no sign of the little one.

Cal turns around, compelled by a power he’s learning isn’t his.

And he sees – a ghost.

That’s all it can be. A kriffin’ ghost.

A figure in white. Plastoid chest piece scuffed with blaster marks from a mission gone wrong.

Baby Cal and one of the 13th Battalion troopers!

I love Fallen Order and I love the 13th Battalion so I have a few characters for them one of which being this boy named Stowaway!

I remember the episode of clone wars where the senate wanted more clone troopers and (I think this happened) they talked about where troopers would be sent out younger than normal

#my art #cal kestis #clone trooper oc #13th battalion #Stowaway 100% got his name cause he sneaks onto ships all the time #padawan cal kestis #Clone trooper oc: Stowaway #I just adore these two

I present to you: Commander Bastion of the 13th Battalion!  He and his men specialize in defensive operations, and that includes defending precious little Padawans.

Cal Kestis Week 2024, day 2: Food

The blanket Cal has in his room during the order 66 flashbacks matches the colours of the battalion he’s with so picture for me: a group of battle-hardened super soldiers using the precious little time they have between battles to make a simple blanket to sleep with at night as a gift for their 12 year old commander. They make it their battalion colours because they want him to know he’s one of them.

#jedi fallen order #cal kestis #13th battalion #iron battalion #I love cal he and Ezra are my special little guys #I’m also emo about clones and padawans. going to battle beside bonding with (and being forced to kill) a child oh that hurts so bad

Something something, the Jedi and the Clones would have grieved together, something something, their traditions would have become symbiotic, something something, over three million prayers to the force by force nulls who respected their beliefs would have galvanised those who could feel their faith, something something, the inherent tragedy of loving the people around you, knowing you and them could die anytime, something something.

-

I’m normal about the Jedi and the Clones, I promise.

This was originally for the No Order 66 AU with Cal and his Battalion, but it made me feel too much when I finished it.

There is something about a peace keeping warrior order coming to love their soldiers, who in turn, come to respect and admire them. There’s just something so cathartic about that bond, that mutual struggle for a Galaxy that wants or respects neither people, that just feels so….

Ugh, you know?

I don’t know how Tumblr works but here are some clone designs for my fanfiction Angel of the Iron Battalion!! I just think the 13th battalion are neat and it’s sad that we didn’t get to seen them as actual characters (though very understandable..) so I made them!

Here’s Nyx, our favourite trans (ftm) Commander with about 15 anxiety disorders and a need to protect every child in 50ft distance to him.

Hymn, the guy who met an angel ONCE and has not shut up about it since, to the point that he got their language TATTOOED ON HIS FACE. In love with an Angel girl he saw once that saved his life and he never saw again.

Havock, who thinks the more scars you get, the hotter you are (unfortunately he is right but by god can you stop running into explosions please). Would also protect every child within 50ft distance of him.

Liz, the representation for every obsessed crocheter out there. Has probably made little crochet covers for everyone’s armour by now, even though it’s highly useless. He’s say it keeps them warmer in the cold. Everyone is just too nice to say otherwise.

Fourv, another trans clone (mtf) except she has infinitely better eyeliner game than Nyx. Does she wake up before her shift everyday just to do her killer makeup? Nobody knows. There’s a rumour Brush caught her at it once but she threatened him under penalty of death if he told anyone. Everyone else just believes she came out of the tube with eyeliner pre done.

Lucky, a defective clone that was allowed to join and he makes it everyone else’s problem! As payback for being treated as the precious new shiny, he aims to be the most annoying little shit he possibly can, winning his name through his incredible luck winning games no matter what game he is playing. After winning all of Havock’s credits in a game once, he was banned from partaking in any with cash prizes. He thinks this is highly unfair.

And then Brush and Canvas, the twins! Both dumb as rocks and kind as hell. Brush likes to doodle on literally everything and say a dumb joke every five seconds and his twin Canvas is the more stoic of the duo, if only to save his ridiculous remarks for a time where they’d confuse the most people. Some think he actually puts it on as an act for fun, just because he likes annoying people.

And their battalion symbol! It’s sort of like an egg but also like kintsugi, both of which are very poetic for this specific battalion.
