Ok so Buddy works in space McDonalds right? Does that mean others have a job somewhere as well?
ill admit that in the comic i used space mcdonalds mostly for comedic effect........ i mean they propably worked at a space fast food restaurant at some point, but it definetely wasnt their only job!
okay so after eeneks unexpected family reunion the clones, eenek and zora all decide to stay on znahors ship for the time being(it gets a little cramped but its bearable), and they just kinda start going from place to place after that?? before picking them all up znahor already was doing essentialy that, anyway- he traveled from planet to planet, occasionally helping the locals and then fucking off elsewhere. so thats what they do! they jump from one star system to the next, never staying anywhere for long, trying to not bring any unwanted attention to themselves, and they get by mostly by doing random odd jobs(some more legal than others..) and stuff.
they all(ecept for taka bc hes like 10) get their fair share of shitty jobs, but they dont really have a choice, do they? the war is over, sure, but obviously such a long conflict leaves an impact on the world. the chaos is on one hand a blessing, bc an odd bunch like three galrans and a gaggle of humans dont bring much attention in a sea of refugees, but it also means that sometimes things get messy, and making ends meet is difficult.
out of the clones, buddy has the most experience and knowledge about how alien worlds function, so they often end up with jobs that require communication and frequent interaction with other people- basically what im trying to say is that they work customer service. a lot. they survive it by remembering how infiuriating diplomacy was and telling themselves that hey! at least them fucking something up wont put the fate of the universe into jeopardy this time!! stickbug often works alongside them, but he hates interacting with customers even more that buddy does and tries to avoid this kind of job as much as he can(my man spent too much time trying to please everyone in his childhood and is OVER IT). i mean all of them get a customer service job from time to time but bud is the one whos least terrible at it
im not sure if the others have any preferred jobs tbh, but the idea of soup trying competetive fighting at some point would be interesting to explore i think........
#ask#my funky guys#thanks for asking<33#also man poor taka. he spent like half of his life without interacting with kids his age........#hes the most socially awkward ten year old in the universe. meets a kid his age for the first time and has no idea how to act:(#and the worst part is that even when he manages to form a connection w someone#his family leaves the area pretty soon after that and in most cases he loses contact with that person after a while#so yeah.. hes not doing great#i really dont talk about this kid enough........ i love him hes my special little guy#(i say as i make his life even more difficult for some reason)#anyway#for buddy working in cusomer service or doing not-so-legal odd jobs is STILL better than their voltron days#whenever they look back at that period of their life they cant help but physically recoil#helping some random guy in the asscrack of the universe smuggle some shit for a bit of cash#is in their mind 10 times better than their time as the black paladin#basically their way of coping with their situation is to just. slowly convince themself that being w voltron was The Worst Thing Ever#i mean yeah it wasnt GREAT#but they willfuly ignore every good thing that also happened back then to make themself feel better lol#bc there are moments where living on a relatively small space ship with like 8 other people is stressful and kinda sucks sometimes#even if you deeply love and care about 6 of them#the transition from living on a deserted planet in complete isolation from ppl outside of your weird little maybe-family#to being constantly tossed around the whole universe#was a jarring and difficult transiton for everyone#(eeneks weird family drama didnt help)#the first few months were hard for everyone#it got better over time tho#life is unpredictable and people are unpredictable and shit is gonna get messy#but despite it all love still presists.

Rise of skywalker was bad and here’s a numbered list of grievances I will nail on Disney’s door:
1. Fetch Quests. Why are we rehashing the last jedis half movie fetch quest? Could we maybe fit more room for character building in here??? I get that Poe got fleshed out a little more but not in a way that enhanced the narrative. I mean it’s cool he smuggled but did we need a fetch quest to establish that and that he also was def fucking that helmet girl?
2. What did Finn want to tell Rey? As they are sinking in the sand Finn is like oh no I gotta tell you djshsjajshd bc he get succ down in the sand. Rey asks him and he’s like oh I’ll tell you later. Poe brings it up later twice I think and we never find out what he was gonna say??? Like why write the line in????
3. Reys magic healing. In my headcanon, I’m fine with Jedi healing powers. I’m not into the magic instant life force transfer I feel like if Jedi are gonna be able to have accelerated healing it should be through some sort of meditative process and take an extended amount of time, especially with more severe wounds.
4. Force Skyping v2. Rey blocked Kyle of Skype and I guess he made another account bc he back at it. This was something I liked in tlj. The force Skyping was probably the best content that movie had to offer and when she cut him off in the end it felt meaningful. And then how are they transferring objects over time and space I mean I don’t think the force works like that.
5. Bloodlines bullshit. Rey Palpatine was a good meme and a bad movie choice. The main thing that rian johnson did right was making her nobody. I like that she came from nothing and struggled with her identity and she’s in the shadow of all these great people. It’s not very cash money of them to be like hmmmm her family is bad so she should be bad. Like I get that narrative but I’m tired of it.
6. Disney has no balls. When Rey and Kyle are having that force battle to stop the ship and Rey just fucking FORCE LIGHTNINGS THE FUCKER WITH CHEWY IN IT I LOST MY SHIT. 2 minutes later actually chewy is fine. Like he is cool and all but fuck man imagine if she actually murdered chewy and had that fucking eating at her along with her fighting the temptation of going dark. When she stabbed Kyle as leia died I also lost my shit and was like OH FUCK SHE DIS IT TO HIM. But again Disney got no balls. Kyle could have been redeemed in his last moments and been forgiven by his family and by Rey as he dies and that would have made a more emotional impact for me I think. It would really force Rey to confront herself and create some fucking tension because oh no what if Rey actually goes dark?!?? She only has pappy and herself as enemies oh shit I know how my fanfic is gonna go y’all 😎✌️I love a good man vs self
7. Leias lightsaber. I mean this is a relatively small beef because we been knew she was force sensitive but I sort of didn’t need her to be a Jedi??? Y’all can be mad about this one it’s mostly me not liking big changes to the old movies. Y’all can like this I have no beef with y’all about this choice I just wasn’t feeling it. Would have liked more time to get to know older leia instead of a little flashback with awkward but better than rogue one cgi. Btw watch rogue one it was probably technically the best Star Wars movie
8. The reylos won. I mean this is the big discourse that Kyle and Rey can’t be together because the mind torture is like a rape allegory and if anything their relationship has been very manipulative and unhealthy with a lot of gaslighting coming from Kyle. I’ll die mad about this whole thing mostly because I wanted Rey to end up with Finn or nobody. Tbh it felt like they were setting up Finn and Rey the whole movie and were just like nah. So the big pappy fight happens which was a little underwhelming if you ask me. More of that force energy whatever then Rey gets to talk to old Jedi which was cool and then fucking thrashes palp. I really wanted her to be like yeah the only family I have is you and fucking blast him with force lightning bc SHE CAN DO THAT BUT DISNEY GOT NO BALLS. anyway so I guess wielding two lightsabers after her magic pep talk was too much so she just drops dead??? I was already like fuck no bc Kyle is still hangin out climbing out the hole even tho he clearly breaks his back on a big ass Boulder??? Anyway it’s messy y’all. He force hugs her then they have a friendship kiss and Kyle then dies because ???? Reasons????? This whole sequence was messy. I’m not even mad about his redemption because I knew it was coming I am just salty and gay so whatever. Y’all won this time pop your bottles reylos.
9. The end. They did a big game of thrones here. Now this makes no sense to me because Rey has always been looking for family right? So obviously she is gonna go to tatooine to live in the skywalker house? I would think she’d stay with her friends because that’s her found family. I mean I guess she adopts the skywalker name which I’m fine with really but to be isolated in the desert again?? Was that ending shot with the double sunset really worth putting her back where she started??
10. This is more of an honorable mention but THE SNOKE CLONES HAD ME LAUGHING OUT LOUD I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT FUCKIN HORRIBLE FANFIC WHATEVER JENNY NICHOLSON READ CALLED THAT. this is not beef I just had to say it
