It’s 💙 anon-
Guess who hit a walk off tonight for the dodgers??? CT3 comes through again
Sorry I don’t have any baseball friends and you’re the closest I can think of/the only person I know who might kind of care haha.
Also today when the dodgers walked off, CT3 got doused with the Gatorade cooler and subsequently got his ass slapped (both are things that are normal in baseball), which I don’t know why that matters besides maybe saying just imagine that happening with ur college!baseball!au.
Anyway I’m going to slink back into the shadows now ✌️
I am honored that I’m your go to person for this haha
but yay! love to see the king win 😌 I haven’t been keeping up with the Dodgers as much as I should this year so you’re my primary info. and let’s be so real right now, those baseball boys are slapping each other’s asses any chance they get

This Saturday, 3 June 2023, Drowned Town Press (that's me) returns for the first time since before the pandemic to Boston Kids' Comics Fest. This year's Fest is at Northeastern University's Curry Student Center. I'll be at Table 21 -- click on the Exhibitors link and scroll down to see the floor layout.
This FREE one-day event is open to kids, their parents/guardians, educators and librarians. Show hours are 10 AM -- 5 PM. The workshop schedule is here -- be sure to check out my BCR pal LJ-Baptiste!
There are also a Quiet Drawing Area and a Calmer Space for kids and guardians who need a few minutes to take a breather. And while the usual student food court will be closed, organizers are providing a directory of nearby eating places.
The Curry Center is at 360 Huntington Avenue in Boston, MA, not far from the Museum of Fine Arts. MBTA Green Line E Branch stops close by at the Northeastern University stop, and Ruggles Station on the Orange Line is not much further away. MBTA buses #9 and #39 stop on Huntington Avenue, while buses #8, #15, #22, #28, #43, #44, #45, and #47 stop a few blocks away. Routes #19, CT2 and CT3 do not run on weekends. MBTA Commuter Rail lines Franklin (but not Foxboro), Needham, and Providence (but not Stoughton) also stop at Ruggles Station.
(Hmm...I only now realized that the cute kitty in the BKCF logo has resonances with another Boston-based comic show that is staffed by some of the same people...MICE!)

Oh, right, I promised an infodump on my headcanons for GAR ranks and unit structure. Aight, buckle up boys, I have Opinions and that's about to be everybody's problem.
Please keep in mind, this is my headcanon. It's for fun, not for accuracy, and if you don't like it, you can just keep scrolling.
First off, notation. I have a two or three letter abbreviation for each rank, followed by an alphanumeric clarification for cases of overlap. So like the lowest rank a CC can have is a Captain and the highest rank a CT can have is a Captain. Gregor, a CC Captain, is Cpt CC(1)-5576-39, while Rex, a CT Captain, is Cpt CT(5)-7567. Gregor outranks Rex by virtue of being a CC, but it's the kind of enlisted/officer dynamic where a good Lt (O1-2) should always listen to and seriously consider the advice of an Ssg (E-7) because the Ssg is more experienced.
There are 15 levels in the GAR chain of command, consisting of 26 ranks. In the list below, Level 1 is the highest rank and Level 15 is the lowest.
Level 1: Commander-in-Chief
1. Cic(S5), the Chancellor
Level 2: Vice Commander-in-Chief
2. Vcc(S4), the Vice Chancellor
3. Vcc(S3), members of the Security Council
Level 3: High Generals
4. HGn(J3), lifetime Jedi High Council members
5. HGn(J2), all other Jedi High Council members
Level 4: Generals
6. Gen(J1), Jedi Knights and Masters not on the High Council
Level 5: Senators
7. Sen(S2), Senators allied with Sidious and in on the plan, also Separatist-alligned Senators like the Banking Clan and etc
8. Sen(S1), Senators not allied with Sidious, such as the Delegation of 2000 or the League of Neutral Systems
Level 6: Representatives
9. Rep(S0), all Senate Representatives
Level 7: Padawan Commanders
10. PCr(J0), Padawan Learners assigned to Generals and High Generals
Level 8: Marshal Commanders
11. MCr(CC3), Clone Commanders leading armies, corps, and battalions
Level 9: Commanders
12. Cdr(CC2), Clone Commanders leading legions and divisions
13. Cdr(ARC4), ARC Commanders leading commando divisions
Level 10: Captains
14. Cpt(CT5), Clone Troopers leading guards and forces (units smaller than a division but larger than a regiment)
15. Cpt(CC1), Clone Commanders leading guards, forces, and legions
16. Cpt(ARC3), ARC Captains leading commando regiments
Level 11: Lieutenants
17. Lt(CT4), Clone Troopers leading regiments
18. Lt(CC0), Clone Commanders leading regiments, guards, and forces
19. Lt(ARC2), ARC Lieutenants leading commando companies and platoons
Level 12: Staff Sergeant
20. Lt(CT3), Clone Troopers leading companies
Level 13: Sergeant
21. Sgt(CT2), Clone Troopers leading platoons
22. Sgt(ARC1), ARC Sergeants leading commando squads
Level 14: Corporal
23. Cpl(CT1), Clone Troopers leading squads
24. Cpl(ARC0), ARC Corporals who are the senior trooper in a pair
Level 15: Private
25. Pvt(CT0), Clone Troopers
26. Pvt(ARC00), ARC Troopers
The unofficial position is Oversight Officer. There's two types of Oversight - the first is a clone of a higher rank leading a smaller unit, usually demanded by natural-born high command, such as Marshal Commander Fox, Commander Stone, and Commander Thorn leading the Coruscant Guard. Lieutenant Thire (before his promotion) would've been the one actually supposed to be leading, but because Coruscant and because Palpatine, he got three Oversight Officers who are there to make sure he doesn't fuck up.
The second type of Oversight is like Appo and Rex' situation, usually arranged by the clones themselves, where Rex is a lower rank but has far better skill, aptitude, and straight up will to live when it comes to running a Legion, so Appo is in command on paperwork but Rex is actually in charge. In this scenario, Appo is Rex' Oversight Officer.
CT and CC units are divided into 11 types, from squad to Grand Army. ARC and RC units are different, but I haven't had the time to really sit down and work them all out.
Squads (like Domino Squad) are led by a Corporal and consist of 5 troopers.
Platoons are led by a Sergeant and consist of 4 squads. Or: 20 troopers.
Companies (like Torrent Company) are led by a Staff Sergeant and consist of 4 platoons. Or: 16 squads, or 80 troopers.
Regiments are led by a Lieutenant and consist of 5 companies. Or: 20 platoons, 80 squads, or 400 troopers.
Guards/Forces are led by a Captain or Lieutenant and consist of 3 regiments. Or: 15 companies, 60 platoons, 240 squads, or 1200 troopers.
Divisions (like the 332nd) are led by a Commander and consist of 3 guards or forces. Or: 9 regiments, 45 companies, 180 platoons, 720 squads, or 3600 troopers.
Battalions (like the 212th) are led by a Marshal Commander and consist of 5 divisions. Or: 15 guards/forces, 45 regiments, 225 companies, 900 platoons, 3600 squads, or 18k troopers.
Legions (like the 501st) are led jointly by a General and Commander and consist of 3 battalions. Or: 15 divisions, 135 regiments, 675 companies, 2700 platoons, 10.8k squads, or 54k troopers.
Corps (like the 327th) are led jointly by a General or High General and a Commander or Marshal Commander and consist of 3 legions. Or: 9 battalions, 45 divisions, 405 regiments, 2025 companies, 8100 platoons, 32.4k squads, or 162k troopers.
Armies (like the 3rd Systems) are led jointly by a High General and Marshal Commander and consist of 5 corps. Or: 15 legions, 45 battalions, 225 divisions, 2025 regiments, 10,125 companies, 40.5k platoons, 162k squads, or 810k troopers.
The Grand Army of the Republic is led by the Commander-in-Chief and consists of 4 armies plus 2 guards/forces. I could write everything out like I did for the other units, but I don't want to. In total, this comes to 3.242mil troopers.
And that is my headcanons and worldbuilding for my fics when it comes to GAR ranks and unit structures. As always, people are welcome to use with credit.
