#through the seasons with 99

[soclonely]

prompt 56, with snuffly 99 being taken care of by his brothers? not picky about who, though a squad of little cadets would be cute, or maybe alpha-17 ,, your writing is always so lovely ❤️

ALPHA-17! ALPHA 17! I love him so much

Prompt 56: Colds Pairing/group: 99 and Alpha 17

Alpha-17 crosses his arms, his large figure looming over the small old man in front of him. "I am only going to tell you one more time." he growls, glaring down at 99. "If you so much as step a toe out of that door and leave your room, I am going to tie you down to that bed and you won't leave it until the next batch of tube babies leave Kamino. Do you understand me?"

"I'm not sick! I'm just a bit ah-ah-ACHO! Ugh." 99 falls back onto his pillow, sighing. "I just have seasonal allergies, that's all this is." He blows his nose and tosses the tissue aside. "Besides if I am sick and lying in bed all week, who is going to clean up the training grounds or the storage rooms? And who is going to reorganize the barracks?" 99 looks up at Alpha, horrified. "It's time for some of the younger boys to move out of the nursery and into the bigger barracks. I have to be up for that." He tries to stand up, but is immediately pushed back down by the trooper towering above."Alphie! Get-off!" He pushes the hand away. "I'm fine!"

"Oh boy." Alpha sighs. he takes a deep breath before continuing. "Listen, vod." He gently pushes 99 back onto the pillow once more. "You look like a rancor trampled you, chewed you up, and spit you out. Now please," He gently pulls the covers up to 99's chin. "Stay and bed and get better for us. You know Kamino wouldn't be the same if something happened to you. So we need to get you nice and healthy." He pats the old man's shoulder encouragingly.

99 looks up to his brother, putting on his best puppy dog eyes."But what about all of my work this week?" He pouts. "There is so much to do. If I don't finish it, we will be completely buried." He points to a list on the nightstand. "See how long it is?"

"I will make sure it is all taken care of." Alpha-17 states, picking up the list. He reads over it quickly and sighs. "I could easily split this up between a few of the older cadets. Don't you worry." He shows the faintest of smiles. "Now rest."

"But what about moving the younger cadets to their new barracks?" 99 groans. "I promised them I would-"

"We will wait until you are better to move them. Do-NOT-get up."

"And what about tucking the younger ones?" 99 bats his eyes at Alpha innocently. "Will you be able to tuck them into bed at night like I do? I could always-"

"Yes I can. Bathe them, brush their hair and teeth, read them their bedtime story, tuck them in. I know the routine."

"Give them their nighttime forehead smooches to protect them?"

"Of course I can!" Alpha bursts out. He begins to chuckle, shaking his head at the older clone. "Now please, stop finding a reason to get out of bed, and get better." He sighs, running a hand over his head and sighs. "We can hold down the fort with our Commander out of commission, but not forever." he gives a little salute, smiling.

The Batch stripping their armour of their paint gives me the same vibe as buzzcutting your hair when shit gets real

Todays rip: 23/02/2024

Through the F​-​F​-​Fire and the F​-​F​-​Flames

Season 5 Featured on: SiIvaGunner's Highest Quality Rips: Volume D

Ripped by R.L.99

In my excitement leading up to February 22nd and to finally get to write more in-depth about Kara's Flowers' meaning to the SiIvaGunner channel...it dawned on me a bit too late that I was ignoring another meaning to the very date before it. I'm still very proud of how the post on As Miku Collides connects together with Collision Clouds, but there was something far more important to remember from February 21st. The birthday of late ripper R.L.99.

R.L.99 is the second known SiIvaGunner team member to have left us in tragedy, and its always going to be a very difficult topic for someone like me, effectively an outsider, to approach. The first was Marrow, who I've written about thrice now with Telling Fish Tales, Turnabout Fishters and 8​-​bit Fish With Dreams - a true friend to the SiIvaGunner team whose contributions are too many to list, but had been present since the very early days of Season 1. I can't claim to have known the guy, nor ever claim to have felt the same grief that his friends did upon his passing - yet althesame, through how recognizable and frequent his contributions were, losing him did hurt. Yet with R.L.99, my heart sank for a somewhat different reason. I'd barely had the time to truly appreciate him before he was gone.

As a ripper, R.L.99's most defining trait lay in his ambition - he was always seeking to outdo his last work, always shooting higher, yet higher. Joining the team early into Season 5, his twenty-one contributions across the year, ambitious or not, all feel crafted to a sheen. In a Season that already had some of the strongest output in the channel's life, his rips often still managed to impress beyond those expectations. I described one instance of this occurring on my one prior post on the ripper, One Winged PSYcho - V​.​S. Sepsyrop, but it needs to be reiterated that this was effectively standard procedure for each of his big projects. But despite the reverence I hold for him now, I'd chosen the worst possible timeframe to begin distancing myself from SiIvaGunner - during Season 5, I was at my most disinterested in the channel's goings-on, and thus paid far too little mind to the incredible efforts the entire team were making during the year. I'd check in, add some rips to playlists, and check out.

When the news of R.L.99 broke early in Season 6, I didn't know what to think, because...I didn't know R.L.99. But as I looked through my own playlists, looked through his list of contributions - I realized that just about everything he had ever made had found its way into my list of all-time favorite rips. I'd loved his work without ever truly acknowledging or understanding who made it. Without ever having had the chance to truly show my appreciation, until it was too late.

Linked under his username credit at the start of this post, you'll find a Twitter thread I made two years ago now, the day the announcement was made. I wasn't able to appreciate him during his time, but on that day I wanted more than anything else for other people still like what I once was, people far too blind to the talent and care individual rippers put into their work, to know exactly what kind of legacy he left. And so, I put the thread together as one of my first-ever forms of written SiIvaGunner analysis, trying to concisely convey all the ways that R.L.99's work truly was unique - in all the ways I'd failed to pick up on before it was all too late. There was, of course, a lot missing from that thread - notably the as-of-then unreleased rips he'd made that would be uploaded the day after in his memory, culminating in the downright breathtaking Dancing Masked. Yet, I still want to dedicate todays post to a rip I'd heard from before that day, one of those rips I'd loved for so long without knowing the man behind it. A rip like Through the F​-​F​-​Fire and the F​-​F​-​Flames.

A hugely ambitious project, it feels difficult to find one rip that quite so concisely encapsulates all the qualities of R.L.99's work. A distinct love for the MOTHER series, a love for rip arrangements of popular music, a love for Rock music, and the aforementioned scope - it all culminates in a nearly 8-minute long tribute to the legendary Through the Fire and Flames by Dragonforce. Althewhile, it adheres incredibly well to the expected restrictions of a Game Boy Advance game, each of the shredding guitar samples used being from MOTHER 3 itself, with vocals authentically bit-crushed to match. It manages to rock out incredibly on its own, and that's without mentioning the insane details strewn throughout, such as the song's occasional bumps in tempo to match other boss music within MOTHER 3, or the other songs from MOTHER 3 that become referenced throughout the arrangement. Released on the date of MOTHER 3's birthday, much like Jesus of the Underground - it's a beyond impressive tribute, with love shown in every second of its runtime.

The fact remains, though, that I never knew R.L.99, and never knew Marrow either for that matter. There's far, far too many rippers that I've still not been able to express my full gratitude and affection toward, and many of which I'll likely never be able to reach. But that's part of why I want to run this blog in the first place - to give myself, and other SiIvaGunner fans that chance to show genuine, outspoken love for rips and the people behind them while we all can.

Rest well, R.L.99.

I miss rwby so much I haven't felt the same amount of extreme emotion since I saw Ruby kill herself in front of her older sister who raised her and watched the fandom explode with angst material.

#rwby #rwby rambles #listen if they don't get picked up it was a hell of a final season #15 year old mc gets put through the wringer and has actual reactions to her trauma and 2-3 years later decides fuck it #and drinks erase me as a person and start over tea #suicide tw #the switch over the course of 9 seasons from the sisters helping the partners with their abuse related trauma #to the sisters getting broken down by the cruel world and gaining soooo many mental illnesses they can't ignore any longer #and for the baby sister aka the hope of them all to be the first one to crumble so horribly #i love my little 5 dollars and a dream show with female characters who have depth and writing 99% of shonen can't touch #Strq sisters

face blind quinn is so important to me.......eliot puts up his hair and quinn's like "okay that's a hitter and he's vaguely eliot-shaped but i don't know if he's eliot. what if he's a bad guy...shit. shit. oh wait nvm he moved and he walks like eliot, the eliot walk with the eliot shoulders, we're good <3" he can recognize eliot best mid-fight or through a scope :3

he always knows Where parker is but if there is a single other blonde woman in a five mile radius he's like. sweating. parker moves and talks like parker (also, wears black, is thief-shaped) but if shes doing her Normalcy Grift she is fucking imperceptible as a concept. who is she where is she. sneaky

nate is the annoying guy in the dumb hat doing Nate Things and talking the loudest in every room, very easy to spot and identify nates in the wild

hardison is friend-shaped and in the van, a prime hardison location. he is always typing on his phone and he wears very identifiable graphic tees, usually featuring media properties quinn's not familiar with, one time they go to a Nerd Store and quinn loses alec immediately, very distressing please come back

he cannot find ms devereaux at any point during any con and does not even try. always waits for her to talk to him first (she does this ''mister quinn" + fond elbow pat combo and this is his Sign that this shorter-haired german woman is, in fact, local shapeshifter sophie devereaux)

also: quinn spots a hitter in the crowd and tries to warn the team about him and he's like "he's the guy with the cop walk and the jangly keys" and everyone except for parker and eliot are like "but what does he LOOK like"

#this is 100% me projecting so apologies to any faceblind folks if this does not align with ur experiences etc #99% of the time i recognize people through context + body language + voices. im very good with voices. im lending the lad my own suffering #if i see a picture of someone and then i see them irl my brains like. its not flat so it's a different person ksdjflkjhsldkfjh #hair is great except sometimes people change? their? hair? like criminals? like criminals doing recognition crimes??? #why does everyone not just wear the same outfit every day and sit in the same place so i know who they are. sigh #the WORST is when seasons change and everyone switches up their wardrobe/colour palette/hair and its like. hey. hey. knock it off wHO ARE U #eliot should be required to wear red by law. thank you #ALSO: hardison does a quickchange into a suit in an elevator (à la that time he did that) #and quinn's like *frantic* ''guys i lost the nerd'' #finchtalks

not sure how many people on here will care about this but in case anyone is wondering; currently i'm at 386 followers, so regarding that discord server ill probably set it up once i hit 500 :3 which might be a bit far away but oh well!! just wanted to update you guys on that!!

#the people on ao3 were supportive of it so #im gonna assume theres some people curious about it on here too #i swear ill get to writing soon #im like 99% sure im going through seasonal depression #i hate it here #python333

I cannot physically express how much it angers me that the average Italian is apparently willing to let tourists piss and shit all over their cities and beaches (literally and metaphorically) but you tell them to host poor desperate people who just barely survived a shipwreck and suddenly its like BUT HOW DO WE KNOW THAT THEY WILL RESPECT OUR LAWS

#literally. my seaside town would have 99% recycling trash records if it wasnt for fucking tourist season. but can we do anything about them? #ooooh nooo that would possibly make them go somewhere else next year!!!! #meanwhile immigrants have to jump through hoops just to get a room to rent

[sokkas-therapist]

Brooklyn 99 is very quickly becoming a comfort show of mine but as an Atla fan I can’t get over how Jake Peralta is giving such Sokka vibesss

#they would be great friends if they existed in the same universe #they’re both smart dumbasses with a shorter very optimistic best friend (aang & Charles) #an older mentor figure who is baffled by their antics yet impressed by their intelligent unorthodox problems solving #(Piandao and Captain Holt) #abandonment issues with their fathers (even tho Hakoda did come back and try to do better the damage had been done) #they deal with their trauma by suppressing it and use humor to cope #And they both feel a responsibility to save their friends and make the world a better place #(Jake through his work as a cop and Sokka through ending the war with the Gaang) #(along with his help in the restoration efforts post war) #omg I could go on about this for so long #sokka #atla #jake peralta #brooklyn 99 #I barreled through the first five seasons in like two weeks

[heyclickadee]

So, I ended up asking for a few days off next week so I could pack before moving (circumstances occurred and I ended up with a lot less time for packing than I though, and I panicked), but. Besides loading things into a van, which can’t happen until the van gets here, I’m. Completely packed. As of yesterday. Everything besides my work computer, a suitcase, and an air mattress. I might just leave the days off days off though.

#I mean I have the time off approved so I could just enjoy it and take a break #right? #maybe go hiking one day? #finally start that bad batch rewatch? #I mean I’ve watched a few episodes on their own here and there #I’ve watched plan 99 about seven times #but I haven’t had a chance to watch both seasons all the way through #just because I haven’t had the time #maybe go hiking both days?? #it’s not THAT cold and as long as I stay out of the canyons I won’t have to worry about snow

Congratulations on hitting 1000 followers! How about 99 with the boost, sinker, and wolffe as cadets and "35.Witches, warlocks, and werewolves oh my!"

"But 99," Boost trembles, hiding behind the old man's leg. "If we annoy him one more time, Wolffe is going to bite us and turn us into werewolves!"

99 looks down at the little boy, puzzled. "A werewolf? Where did you get such nonsense?"

"Bly told us that!" Sinker replies, grabbing onto Boost. He pulls him off the older clone and takes his place, looking up in horror. "Bly said that when Wolffe was in a tube, the Kaminoans decided to infuse him with lothwolf genes to make him tougher! But all it really did was cause him to be angry all the time!"

"Yeah!" Boost interrupts, shoving Sinker aside."And that when there is a full moon, he transforms into a giant werewolf and bites any cadets that cross his path!"

"He's trying to make a werewolf army to fight the Republic AND Seppies-"

"Boys! Calm down!" 99 chuckles, hugging the two of them closely. "Bly is just messing with you! He always likes to try and scare you cadets." He shakes his head, continuing. "I am going to have to have a talk with that boy. He isn't making my job easy." He sighs, bending down to look the two boys in the eye. "Wolffe is a good soldier, and not a werewolf. You boys are lucky to be working with him." he smiles, gripping each of them on the shoulder. "I promise he is not a werewolf."

"Whew what a relief!" Sinker sighs, wiping his forehead.

The fact that some people thought Tom and Logan were pulling some kid of hoax at first is baffling to be, Tom may be a nasty skank bitch but he wouldn’t let his own wife think her dad’s dead for shits and giggles, he wouldn’t let Roman and Kendall think that, for that matter. Honestly I don’t even think Logan is evil enough for that kind of emotional fuckery.

#tom wambsgans #Logan roy #tom slander this ep in gen kind of annoying #like when he has the fight with shiv next episode I’ll probably be all for tom slander #but this episode he literally couldn’t have behaved any better #in fact he behaved 99 percent then most people would in a similar situation #he called shiv first but when she didn’t answer he called Roman because there wasn’t enough time to keep calling shiv #he was calm and guided them all through the heartbreak and helped them say good bye to their dad #he was there for shiv when she wanted and needed him like what else could he do? #succession spoilers #succession season 4 spoilers #spoilers
