Man I keep thinking of how deeply in love Kallus and Zeb can be based on forgiveness.
It’s such a complicated subject matter when it comes to the lasat massacre, which makes it even more powerful to see how it is dealt with. The show definitely does some retconing past the pilot (which is understandable I think it’s written differently than future episodes even though it’s not *technically* a pilot, but still). It’s a big showcase of the emotional journey that Zeb takes to understanding Kallus, and also Kallus’ roll in forgiving *himself* and coming to terms with what he’s done. Zeb choosing to love him despite all that, and given Kallus’ eagerness to redeem himself is just so good, and I could go into a much longer rant about it but we’d be here all day!

On another Rebels rewatch and gods alive Through Imperial Eyes is gripping my heart ;-;
Tumblr media
Kallus waking up from an alarm outside. How often do you think that happens? Had the poor man just fallen asleep only to be brutally shaken out of it again?
Also the way he opens his eyes and immediately gets up and checks the situation. Some people are useless in the morning; Alexsandr Kallus is not one of them.
The fact that he’s wearing his full uniform including the gloves (and has his hair perfectly styled) indicates that either he’s so overworked that he just fell asleep like that, or he legit doesn’t own any sleeping clothes and sleeps in uniform so he’s always at the ready in case the Empire needs him. Both options fucking break my heart damn ;-;
His reaction to Ezra calling him “Imperial scum”. The slight flinch. Is he actually hurt by that? Is it because he still views himself as such?
Lyste has been stationed on Lothal for years. Surely he would know what its biggest rebel threats look like? Is the man incompetent or just really bad at recognising faces?
Kallus’s complete astonishment at the idea of Ezra getting captured to warn him, and him not even considering the possibility of Ezra coming to get him out omggg ;-; The Empire clearly doesn’t care about him, so naturally he assumes the Rebellion doesn’t either fuck 😭
Ezra claims not to trust Kallus, but immediately upon being alone together he turns his back on him so Kallus can take off his bindings, before Kallus has shown any intention of doing so. Seems pretty trusting to me ngl
“I’ll be executed for treason!” and Kallus knew that from the moment he first became Fulcrum. He’s been shown to be cool in the face of danger, to be well aware of the risks of what he’s doing and doing it anyway. I think the reason he’s so pissed at Ezra seeking him out isn’t that he fears for his own safety; him keeping his cover is essential for his work as a rebel spy, and he doesn’t want that jeopardised.
“I could say the same to you.” That broke me. Because of his treason, Kallus has no one he can trust. No one. He may have switched sides, but that doesn’t mean the Rebellion trusts him. He’s well and truly alone, and he knows it.
Kanan and Rex being part of the rescue mission as well means that this is a serious operation. They want to extract Kallus, their former nemesis. The moment they realise his life’s in danger they all just jump into action. And fuck you just know Zeb is going insane that he can’t join them. He’s probably the one who talked them into the mission in the first place.
Fuck Kallus is tall 😳
Kallus’s reaction to Yularen 🥹 Little boy just wanting to be acknowledged by what was probably the closest thing he had to a father figure in the Academy, that’s both adorable and sad ;-;
They actually wanna bring Kallus back to Atollon. That shows that, whatever Ezra says, they trust him. You don’t bring a high-ranked enemy officer to the heart of your operations unless you’re convinced he won’t betray you.
“We all make sacrifices.” He says it sarcastically to Ezra complaining about his uniform, but you can hear there’s a deeper level behind it. Kallus is sacrificing everything, his convictions, his position, likely his life, for the Rebellion. And he’s not expecting a thank you, he’s not complaining, so Ezra shouldn’t either.
Kallus reprograms Thrawn’s assassin droids on the fly. That’s fucking impressive damn 👀
Kallus’s conviction when he tells Ezra there’s been a change of plans tells me he never intended to leave with him in the first place. As soon as he’d gotten over the shock over having a rescue mission sent for him, he must have been figuring out this plan to frame Lyste so he could remain undetected, or something close to it.
Ezra is probably just worrying about what the hell he’s gonna tell Zeb when they return without Kallus.
The betrayal in Lyste’s eyes and words as he’s being dragged away and Kallus watching him ;-; Kallus knows he’s likely going to be executed, or at least imprisoned for as long as Thrawn doesn’t know who the real Fulcrum is. Because he knows Thrawn won’t buy it, not for long. You can see it in his eyes when he leaves Thrawn’s office.
Kallus’s reprogramming of Thrawn’s droids is so skilful that Thrawn does not believe it was possible without Ezra's Jedi powers. That’s how good the man is.
Yularen’s disbelief of Kallus’s treason is adorable ;-; He did feel like a bit of a papa to Kallus as well after all 🥺
Also I just wanna point out one parallel: this is the second time Kallus refuses to leave a life-threatening situation to go with the Ghost crew. But this time the rescue party came for him, and this time they show that he’s wanted ;-;

headcanon: it was shortly after the crew discovered Kallus is fulcrum that Sabine made this addition to her wall. Sabine, internally: Zeb left out a lot of details about his and Kallus's moon stranding. I'll fill in the missing pieces myself. [thought is inspired off of a recent skit Gay_Guy_Gabe posted over on tiktok]

Kalluzeb headcanon time
I HC that Kallus is not afraid to get dirty and Zeb is the more prissy one.
Zeb worked for the Royal family and could have been a palace guard. He probably just stood indoors all day and never really had to get dirty. He says he went down in the blast and there’s a chance he never even fought in the siege. He is repulsed by the idea of going into the sewers(but who wouldn’t be) and the idea of spiders and other bugs creep him out.
Meanwhile, we know Kallus fought in the siege and he was out there wrestling with his bare hands. He went on patrols on Onderon so he’s no stranger to trekking through a jungle(although the attack could have happened in a city).
Kallus is most happy with his elbows in the dirt, tending to his garden and getting messy. Zeb is happy to sit on the porch and watch with a glass of something cold and his favourite tunes playing. Oh and he has to call Kallus in to catch spiders of course.

Headcanon that Zeb kept in touch with Gron and Chava after taking them to Lirasan and once Chava found out about Kallus defecting she was constantly calling/texting Zeb and asking when he was bringing him to Lirasan (bringing him home) cause she’s so eager to meet the warrior of the prophecy (and she knows that Zeb likes him so she has to tease him about it/egg him to confess) 😂

New Kalluzeb Headcanon
I think that Zeb, when he has an ale or two in him, is the kinda guy to belch and break wind loudly and laugh about it. Much to Kallus’ annoyance (and Ezra’s).
This kinda plays on the canon facts that Zeb acts childish from time to time and that he’s a bit smelly.
It’s also humorous in comparison to Kallus’ prim and proper nature.

Are there any Kallus fans out there? Because It's my favourite ISB agent time!
I was thinking today about Kallus. Just... You know he went off with Zeb to others Lasats. To their secret home Lira San. And he felt unease about it. He knew that Zeb told them what Alexandr did for Rebels, so they accepted his presence. But he couldn't bring himself to actually interact with them. He was the one who killed their friends, families. He very well remembered siege of Lasan. So he didn't eat with them, or talked to them a lot, or looked them in the eyes. He just couldn't.
But Zeb was always with him, he ate with him, lay with him, they talked, they trained. Lasats began to look at them as a pair and actually someone asked once if Kallus is even compatible with Zeb or breedable. It is a story for different occasion but it was very very very embarrassing day for Alexandr. But then he realized that he doesn't really mind it. Being a pair with Zeb in any way and that if he actually could spend rest of his life with him he would be more than happy.
One day he sat with them by the fire. It was some kind of holiday. He was looking at his bowl, and he felt as Zeb sat next to him. He looked on one of them, and she smiled and said something not in Basic. He looked at Zeb.
"She said that she is glad that you finally joined us." Zeb smiled.
And Kallus should felt relief at that moment. But he felt only remorse and pain. The bowl fell on the ground, and he just stood up and got back to their house. He just wanted to hide. Zeb sighed worried.
" One day he will be ready. Don't worry. You have to be patient. Empire do not teach people how to accept kindness, but he will learn."
Zeb nodded. He found Kallus on his bed just staring at the celling.
" Did somebody ever told you that you are your worst enemy, Alex?"
" i figured it out. " He looked at him "After you and your friends stopped occupying this position i gladly took over i guess. And i am just as determined as i was back then . "
Zeb sighed and lay next to him.
"i destroyed their people. Your people. I... Don't understand how you can even..."
"One day you just have to stop fighting Alex. "
" That would make me a loser."
Zeb hugged him and Alexandr hid his face in the fur.
"No. That would bring you peace."
" I am not sure if i deserve peace" he said silently. Zeb held him closer to himself.
"You'll be fine." He said maybe more to himself than to Kallus " You will. You deserve. You just need time. And i will give you time. As much as you need. "
And Kallus couldn't even bring himself to say thank you. He just clung to him and stayed silent.

Headcanon: Zeb smells like a wet dog.
Like, if you've seen his live-action appearance, you know this man is insanely fluffy, look at his arms. Have you ever bathed a large dog or cat before?
Animal fur takes a ridiculous amount of time to dry, even if you have a hair dryer for them, plus everything they touch instantly becomes damp.
Now imagine how uncomfortable it would be as a sentient humanoid coated in thick fur to have to get all of that wet. It would be so much heavier, and it would take forever to work soap into and then rinse out.
Then imagine doing that where there may or may not be a hair dryer available (if Sabine is being nice). For a 6'8", 250ibs guy, it could take HOURS to dry off enough that whatever clothing you put on isn't instantly soaked, not to mention how cold and uncomfortable it would feel in the process. Really the only other option is to sit naked on top of the ship and air-dry.
So the big guy probably doesnt shower until its absolutely necessary, because its an incredibly long and uncomfortable process for him.
Add onto that the fact that he probably DOES sweat a fair amount in combat and you got a kinda funky smelling lasat.
I like to think Kallus starts helping him bathe/scrub clean/towel dry him when its reasonable to, and gets him some of those anti-bacterial wipes that pet stores IRL have for dogs to help cut down on the funk.

Bahryn Fest 2023
Challenge Day 5: Tell us a headcanon you have about one of both of the guys
Kallus 100% liked the clone troopers even if people looked down on them. He shared their enthusiasm for rooting out “insurgents” in the early Empire but kept his admiration to himself more and more as they were being phased out.
            Zeb was a JOCK on Lasan. He wasn’t a bully but I can see him growing up a little sensitive about being perceived as physically weak in any way.
            At some point Zeb and Kallus would be in a three-way prank war with Ezra. Sometimes two of them gang up on the third or two of them will get pranked by the third at once.
(To clarify. I don’t mean it’s kalluzeb vs Ezra I mean it’s kallus vs Ezra vs zeb. Sometimes kal and Ezra get zeb and zeb and Ezra get kal, some times zeb and kal just prank each other)

Currently obsessed with the concept of the Ghost crew being very physical with each other. Lots of hugs and shoulder claps. Arms around each other, hip checks, elbows in ears to the point they should be annoyed and pretend they’re annoyed but really everyone loves it
And then here comes along Kallus who’s lived most of his life in an isolated ISB environment, suddenly dragged into this physical situation where he’s being touched quite often and he does not like it.
I like the concept of Kallus teaching the Ghost crew about giving him space, since I see the opposite in fics where Ghost crew teaches Kallus stuff, especially things like warming up to physical contact. Like, no one needs to get used to physical contact. You shouldn’t teach someone to not be uncomfortable with unsolicited touching.
But especially after they start giving him space, when Kallus gets comfortable around them and starts initiating his own physical contact, like a shoulder clap or a small hug or something.
Zeb bluescreens the first time Kallus hugs him. And I want a moment when there’s a group hug and Kallus willingly goes for it and the whole crew just about shrieks with delight

A Kalluzeb ‘Meet the Family’ fanfic
Chapter 1: An ill-advised rendezvous
Oh, now it's 'hard work'.
Before it was 'overkill', Alex 'allowing' his 'paranoia' to get the better of him.
Stars forbid he be paranoid about a visit to Coruscant's Underworld where they intend to parlay with one of the oldest, most cutthroat crime families in the North-Eastern quadrant! Obviously he was just being silly, and paying for current charts of the 2k and 1k levels was uncalled for. Paying for recon of the meeting place and surrounding neighborhoods was simply outrageous. Raising his alcohol tolerance, practicing his Old Tongue and corresponding accent in Basic, notifying their friends and family of where they'll be and when to expect corresponding check-ins, where any deviation thereof should be considered a big red sign that he and Zeb are In Danger and in need of an Extraction, and then establishing extraction protocols that take Coruscant's garbage innards into consideration– All a waste of his time!
It's not as if he knows his own family and what they are capable of.
Chapter 2: Just like in the Holos 
"The truth is that he saved my life," Alex says quickly, as to get out ahead of whatever nonsense Garazeb wants to spin to entertain the girl. "And challenged me to question what I thought I knew. It is, admittedly, romantic in hindsight."
"It was plenty romantic at the time, too!"
"Oh yes, my heart was all a flutter while I was hanging upside-down by my own rifle's bayonet, after you'd tossed me like a rag doll–"
"And I caught ya again, when ya fell, didn' I?"
"And threw me, again. Out into a blizzard."
"And then y'did the sweetest thing," Zeb says, propping his chin on one paw as he gives Alex an obnoxiously adorable look, "You didn't shoot me in th'face with my own bo-rifle. That's when I knew, doll. That's when I knew you were 'the one.'"
"...really?"
Oh no. Oh no, she believes him.

Winter Weight (Kallus)
I've been brainstorming some headcanons about Kallus gaining weight on Lira San after moving there with Zeb. One of the ideas I kept coming back to was the idea of the region of the planet they live in having very cold winters. Of course, this would lead to some very adorable winter gains in our favorite former ISB Agent. I see Kallus as being someone who, when he has nothing to do, eats. The man just constantly snacks as he bundled up in blankets sitting around the house. Zeb takes it upon himself to do most of the work when it comes to chores and such, as he is more accustomed to the cold. As a result, Kallus begins to lose his physique; his abs disappearing under fat; his pecs growing softer and larger. Zeb notices this of course, how could he not? They find themselves cuddling more often in the winter months, and it's impossible for Zeb not to feel his husband's widening frame as they're pressed together on the couch in front of a heater. He can't help but stare sometimes at Kallus' increasingly larger belly spilling out onto the man's lap; his thighs thickening and softening. The cold just keeps Kallus inside and lazy, which only encourages his sedentary habits. I can see him gaining a good 100 pounds over the winter, which is entirely possible given the season lasts many months where they are. By the end of it, the habits he developed over the winter had already stuck. There's no way he's gonna lose the pounds, and why would he? He's definitely noticed Zeb's gaze on his belly; his husband's need to squeeze at his greatly softened body. He wouldn't want to get rid of the weight Zeb obviously enjoyed. Besides, he's most certainly going to gain more weight now that he's become lazier; his appetite permanently increased. The winter weight won't be leaving Kallus anytime soon.~

What if we would start assigning more cat traits to Lasats 👀
And by that I mean Kallus walking in on Zeb sitting folded up in an empty storage crate for no reason at all
Or Zeb just pushing Kallus's mug of caf off the desk if he thinks Kallus has had enough
Kallus just sighs and continues with his life, he's long since gotten used to his partner's antics

Hey, so id like to suggest something I don't think I've ever seen before(kalluzeb fandom listen up):
So, you know how people still like the nickname "Sasha" for Kallus even though we know his canon name? What if Sasha is actually a word in Lasana? It'd mean something along the lines of "love" or "heart", but it would essentially function the same way the pet name "sugar" does; as a term of endearment.
So when Zeb calls Kallus "Sasha", he's usually meaning it to mean "my love". Kallus only picks up on this because Zeb says the word with a Lasana accent, the same way he says Karabast.

Okay then for the ask game, let me think... We both know I was gonna give ya Kallus. Go!
Yeah I did know you were gonna ask me about him, that fine I'm happy to anyways!
First impression: well I was about 12 when I frist watched rebels and I kinda thought he was a big fat jerk. I thought his muttonchops were stupid.
Impression now: he's just a sad sleepy baby and I love him. He's a real bad ass and a /snarky son of a bitch/tm. All he ever really wanted to do was help people and it blew up spectacularly in his face and he didn't even realize. Also he's an excellent actor but has atrocious people skills. And his muttonchops are glorious.
Favorite moment: in "the Honorable ones" (*cough cough broke back mountain*) you can actually pin point the second he realizes he's in love with Zeb. It's just after the spectors leave and he leans against the wall to keep out of sight. You can actually see the gay panic on his face.
Story idea: Zeb meets the Lasat mercenary but he's so excited that there's another Lasat that he doesn't realize who he is. Kallus doesn't want to take away the opertunity to connect with another member of his species from Zeb so he just sits quietly in the back of the ghost definitely not having a panic attack until Ezra and Sabine find him. He doesn't want to worry them so they build a blanket fort together and get Kannan to go check on Zeb because even if he is with a lasat they're not going to just leave him alone with a dangerous murderer. Eventually Kallus is more scared for Zeb than he is for himself and he runs out to find him but he confronts the merc instead who eventually does recognize him. I'll eventually write the whole thing but that's it for now.
Unpopular opinion: Okay you're gonna hate me. He dies semi young, around early to mid 70s. Cause of death is heart failure due to decades of constant chronic stress.
Favorite relationship: Kalluzeb for life baby! Also love him being family with the spectors, him and Kannan bonding over growing up on Coruscant around the same time. I bet they both have *dad energy* when they hang out. They would both wear Hawaiian shirts and socks with sandels and rock out to Queen music. Of course Sabine would be super protective of Zeb and really not like Kallus hanging around him at first, but she warms up to him after she sees how much Zeb likes him. Then she starts to like him more than Zeb (but she only says that to tease him) Kallus calls her "his favorite" right infront of Zeb. He doesn't really get along with Rex at first. Every civilian on Coruscant during the war has a "complicated" opinion on the clones. Actually I'll just make a separate post for all of them.
Favorite headcannon: OH man how could I narrow it down to just one!? I can't, here's 3:
1. He has scars from the lasat merc that he's extremely self conscious about. He was terrified to show them to Zeb because he thought he would be seen as "damaged goods" or Zeb would think he got them on lasan and be reminded of what a terrible person he is.
2. When he was a teenager he was very good in school, always ambitious but also had a manageable but harmful substance abuse problem. He used to blackout drinking and get into bar fights almost every night, and got high every other night.
Someone: you know your future self is gonna hate you.
Young Kallus: jokes on that asshole, I'm gonna ruin his life.
3. He is a massive dork. He would love murder mystery novels, sings to himself as he cooks and talks to his pet tooka. One time he got a concussion because he sneezed and smacked his face against a wall.

Kallus and Tua are the bitchy girl/gay bff duo and Pryce is the annoying homophobic pick me girl. Kallus and Tua tell Pryce she can play whoever wins. This is the result.
Someone please draw this.
