i think it's really funny that the day my parents go on vacation is the same day the fire alarms decide to start acting up and by funny i mean it is giving me headaches

#literally no issues. drive my parents to the airport. go to sleep. 2am surprise attack #walk around conclude it's nothing fire alarms turn off go back to sleep. nothing the actual day. today i'm already up #8:30 fire alarm for five seconds. rest for five seconds. alarm for five seconda. turn off #HATEFUL #also we have big ceilings so i do not even want to try to figure out which one has issues

so a few days ago I saw this post, and the accompanying tags from @brrmian :

the idea of Cody being simultaneously so cool on the surface and constantly overanalysing every interaction stuck with me so much that I ended up spitting all my thoughts into existence

so

enjoy a brief look into Commander Cody's mind:

#this is so fun killing me also

a1c was 6.0 last visit yaaaay :) t1d CURED (i wish)

#it's been slowly going down recently from 6.5 to 6.4 to 6.3 bc i have been. well. engaging in healthy habits that are good for me #such as eating well rounded meals and snacks and exercising and also getting the timing of my boluses correct #but i had a bit of a lapse from jan-march so i'm glad that doesn't seem to have impacted me negatively

hello everyone have we considered 25 year old obi wan moving to a small town when he gets custody of his 9 year old half-brother after their father unexpectedly dies and meeting a kind but stoic diner owner named cody......hello...........

#dooku could even be the gilmore parents. sorry that my brain turns many things into gilmore girls au it is just that it works #or we could dial it back further make it more 1:1 so that obi wan gets custody of baby anakin at 18. abandons his future or whatever to take #care of this kid. who is his brother but also his son #codywan #anakin is even kid genius in certain aspects. what else. oh yoda as taylor would kill me

i think everyone needs to realize they are not immune to enjoying reality tv

#i think it's funny that my parents 'don't like reality tv' but consistently watch and enjoy survivor and have for the past maybe 20 years? #like girl it's just in a different package

@ivvmell's gardener Cody propaganda works really well

#ohhh......... #cody #sw

[drydak]

wow that's crazy who said that. anyways

[drydak]

anyone want to read my stream of consciousness about the bad batch....no....ok

ok so the thing about tbb is that it is almost something i could really like except there's like a million things holding it back. the introduction in tcw where they established that they hate 'regs' because they were looked down on and then never did anything with that, which is crazy because clones in the sw universe are very explicitly not in any position of privilege. they show them getting idk. bullied? on kamino? but the most we get about solidarity between the bad batch and the other clones is the mayday episode. frustrating!!!! the way that the clones features in general in animation are whitewashed is frustrating enough but then they bring in a group of 'elite' clones who are also ostracized and then make two of them just look like white guys and another (because he died and was re-animated) just completely pale. and are we dealing with the fact that echo used to be a 'reg' but due to his death doesn't feel like he fits in anymore are we talking about that. no ok. also we are in the final season and omega and echo are like the only ones that want to rescue the clones that are being experimented on.

also the way the plot has been going is driving me bonkerssss okay so first of all did anybody actually get some sort of clarity about how the chips worked from what they did because i sure didn't!! can we get some consistency!!! crosshair's stint being an imperial also doesn't feel like it's really been explained. ok you gave your loyalty to the wrong people why did you do that in the first place when every other bb member did not. i guess there had to be some interpersonal conflict before they could just face up to the bigger one (and there's only so much they can do there due to established canon) but way too many of crosshair's actions in the early seasons feels inexcusable!! and at the same time i loved the episode with mayday but at what costttt like we've already seen him get orders to kill civilians and go okay we're doing this and when the people he's in charge of don't want to he does it anyways. maybe it has been too long since i watched it but there's too many pieces that don't feel like they mesh into a full 'character redemption'. and i like crosshair like half the time which is why it's so frustrating.

speaking of plot threads. there are two episodes left. where is cody? i know i'm a bit biased because he is one of my favorite characters but there was sooo much in the solitary clone episode that felt like it was hinting at 'cody is testing the waters to see if crosshair will defect with him' and then he doesn't get the response he was hoping for so he leaves by himself. 'it appears he's gone awol' ok cool will we ever see him again? is there a larger role he's fit into? it feels like the episode with rex and his clones would have been a good opportunity to see him again (maybe slightly messy so just like a mention? at least? considering i'm convinced crosshair is the only one like in the universe who knows he's defected?). one episode and that's it no mention again what are we doing here. especially with rampart back (who i have a side beef with - yeah they all hate him and are using him but part of me feels like they're trying to do a bit of a kallus with him which i do not want because it is not earned storytelling wise. if he dies whatever if he betrays them i'll be annoyed) who was also there telling crosshair that cody left like......hi.

maybe this is just my frustration with how much recent star wars is doing to shore up the 'somehow palpatine has returned' plotline but there are other stories i wish the bad batch was telling and i am just not getting that. and maybe i'll be happier if it turns out that they announce another clone project but as it stands it feels like they're sort of wrapping up anything they would do with them? which is making me crazy because there's sooo much untapped potential that not even the clone wars touched because half the time it was going 'this is the anakin and ahsoka show and the clones die a lot'. (which is a very uncharitable take of a show i enjoy a lot i just have had enough of anakin forever and ahsoka is a character i love but would love more if every time we got a chance to dive into a specific culture it ended up just being her story....which is my way to say that i wish totj was about The Jedi and not Dooku and Ahsoka. SORRY)

what was i saying. um. anyways i really want to like them and a lot of the time i do and maybe i am just being more of a hater because i have felt largely unfulfilled by this show in general but. oh i just remembered i can't believe everyone is so sad about tech dying because i don't know if they really earned that sadness for me. and i am a big fan of both characters remaining dead and characters coming back from the grave but i think people are going to be disappointed when it turns out that tech did actually die and CX-2 is a clone with all of the bad batch traits mixed together (just my theory which is also probably wrong). anyways i think the most emotionally impacted i was was during the solitary clone AND at the end of the episode with mayday.

also the underutilization of characters is like a consistent problem echo will disappear with a throwaway line for multiple episodes at a time and will show back up to deliver a ship and be with them again and then separate. they have barely devoted any time to him. he has not gotten to change and grow. he has gotten to go on side missions with rex that we don't see to rescue his brothers which is something that i think would be important to show because echo's introduction to the bad batch is being saved from the enemy by his brothers!!! but he is there so that they can use his skills and then he leaves. i really hope they've been taking him off screen because they plan on doing something else with him otherwise it just feels. lazy.

none of this is cohesive. sorry. i am maybe also representing some of these things more extremely than i actually feel about them. i am not the only opinion in the universe. i am just deeply unsatisfied by this final season and it is getting dire

#not tagging. idk. i have so many mixed feelings about this show in general but also this season and i feel like i need to rewatch the whole #show when it finishes just to gather my thoughts? i guess? #but i think i am largely just. disappointed #maybe that is my fault for being a clone fan who despite the seemingly massive amount of content doesn't actually get a lot of meaningful #clone-centric stories #what would be crazy is if we saw someone from the 501st delve into the specific betrayal of o66 #not only the chips and being forced to turn on the jedi BUT being led by someone who you used to trust who has now decided to use you #for his own gain #AGH whatever. sw my friend my enemy #maybe i will rewatch the solitary clone and i will not be so mad. cody is on tatooine in my head smile :)
