«There's no honor in those scars. Try harder.»

RC-2180 was one of those who trained under Walon Vau as a cadet. The scars from the training were not unexpected, but there was no pride or honor in any of them. There was nothing but shame. Behind each scar was a punishment for disobedience or imperfection that would remain a reminder for the rest of his short life.

Carud sees this reminder every day when he looks in the mirror - and feels nothing but disgust.

hang on I have to rant

if you're not already aware, the five-man band is a literary device used to classify teams of 5 characters. it's what I call an external trope, meaning that you fit the trope to the characters, they don't innately have it.

a:tla has a pretty solid one, and it's well known enough, so I'm gonna use it to show you what I mean

it is comprised of:

the Leader, who directs the group and is usually the main character (aang)

the Lancer, who serves as character foil to the Leader and is often a bad-guy-turned-good or rogue element (zuko)

the Big Guy, who solves physical problems for the team and is frequently a goofball (toph)

the Smart Guy, who solves technical/logistical problems for the team and typically serves as an "idea guy" (sokka)

and the Heart, who solves emotional problems for the team- if there's only one girl, she's probably the Heart (katara)

there are three star wars groups I want to look at: delta squad, domino squad, and clone force 99.

first is domino squad, as they fit this trope the easiest.

fives is the Leader, the most strategizing one in the group

droidbait is the Lancer, far less cautious and more prone to injury than the others (the foil to fives' effectiveness)

hevy is the Big Guy, serving the oh-so-common "big gun demolitions expert" variant

echo is the Smart Guy, in the "guys, come on, stick to the PLAN" variant

cutup is the Heart, lightening the mood with jokes (hence the name)

the first to die is droidbait, leaving echo to serve as fives' foil, which allows us to see that fives is probably the most prototypical clone of the bunch. then hevy sacrifices himself, and cutup gets eaten, leaving only fives and echo until the Citadel arc which I haven't yet seen.

then we have delta squad. the thing about delta squad is that there are four of them, and while the four-man band is a thing, they make this perfect incomplete five-man band that I think is really really tasty.

boss (player character) is the Leader, guiding the team

sev is the Lancer, playing the "snarky rogue" archetype

scorch is the Big Guy, again the "big gun demolitions" variant- but with the added flavor of being very by-the-book (which we see the consequences of when he aligns with not only the empire but doctor hemlock himself in tbb)

fixer is the Smart Guy, tech expert

notice anything?

there's no Heart.

and that works. these are clone commandos- meant to be the most effective troops the republic has. they almost never interact socially outside of their squad, and when they do it's kept pretty professional.

we see that again in clone force 99, or as they call themselves, the bad batch

hunter is the Leader, his enhanced senses leaving him the most generalist of the batch (and also he's technically their sergeant)

crosshair is the Lancer, a "silent, ruthless efficiency" type

wrecker is the Big Guy, "big gun demolitions" variant yet again (I told you it was common) in the goofball flavor

tech is the Smart Guy, btw he's really well done and it never feels like he just "knows because he's smart" you can always tell how he figures things out

again, there's no Heart. but wait.

in the Bad Batch arc in clone wars, they pick up another member- echo. we don't see much of echo's interaction with the batch in that arc, but when we come back, echo is solidly in a sort of almost-but-not-quite Heart role. and then.

omega shows up in the "sixth ranger" role, there to shake up the group dynamic. throughout season one, we see omega slowly take over echo's role as Heart- and as this happens, it becomes clear that that was the role he was playing, as he talks hunter through how to best take care of omega. but omega, tagalong kid as she is, is much, much more suited to the Heart role than echo, and she takes his place- which allows echo to run off and have his own adventures with rex throughout seasons two and three, WHICH WORKS because echo is a regular clone who joined the batch later in life and thus isn't quite the same as the others, but omega is a deviant clone just like them!

Sometimes, I have the urge to ask some people whether they are aware that I do cloneship too, when they reblog my art.

And when I check their blog, they also have shit reblogged like "cloneshippers you all need help you are nasty".

I don't care if the art you reblog from me is general art. If you spread hateful shit about things I like, you don't deserve my non-shippy stuff either and I block the shit out of you.

*Somewhere in a galaxy far far away*

Alpha-17: *Lights cigarette and downs the whole thing in one drag.*

Fordo: *watching in disbelief waiting for the cloud*

Alpha-17: *coughs a little*

Fordo: “…Do you exhale?”

Alpha-17: “What’dya mean?”

Fordo: “When you smoke? Do you exhale it?”

Alpha-17: “I don’t understand the question mate.”

Fordo: “Your fucking with me. You do know when you smoke you’re supposed to inhale then exhale it.”

Alpha-17: “That’s just silly.”

Fordo: “So you’re telling me when you smoke you smoke the whole lot without breathing?”

Alpha-17: “That’s how you’re supposed to do it.”

Fordo: “No it isn’t that’s how you fucking die!”

Alpha-17:*laughs* So you’re telling me when you open your canteen you take a sip and spit it out? How else do you quench your thirst?”

Fordo: “Your fucked up, how long ya been smoking for?”

Alpha-17: “Ten years.”

Fordo: “And how old are we?”

Alpha-17: “Bought twelve and a half I’d say.”

Fordo: “…Your gonna fucking die of lung cancer mate. Your gonna get punched in the face with the long dick of cancer!”

had an idea for a TBB AU where the entirety of delta squad (not just scorch) is part of hemlock's security detail on tantiss and it's just the four of them messing around
