#Does Jango remember anything? Unknown

Guys I joke a lot about scenarios where the clones get de-aged because Force Shenanigans, but I bring you an even better (and much funnier) idea!
AU where during the battle on Geonosis when Mace goes to behead Jango (by some kind of anomaly), contact with the lightsaber's plasma energy conduit channels the necessary amount of Mace's connection to the Force to mess something up weirdly and Jango ends up de-aged into a toddler (no older than 4 maybe?).
Now, Mace was expecting to have the flying and blaster-wielding Mandalorian menace dealt with for good when he swung his lightsaber. He did not expect a grown-ass man to vanish into thin air and be replaced by a small child that is swimming in both a flight suit and beskar he can barely lift. So Master Windu is just standing there, absolutely dumbstruck, staring at this newfound problem. To top it all off Boba still witnessed all of this transpire, and comes running over because what the hell just happened and why is his Buir an Adiik? What did this kriffing Jetii bastard do to him?? He didn't even know Jetii could cast curses???
Jedi Master and young boy just kinda stare at the toddler that's trying to squirm out of an adult sized flight suit, stare at each other in mutual confusion, and then back at the toddler that's now squealing in distress because the Mandalorian helmet obstructing his view is way too heavy for him to shake off.
Obviously Mace is now very aware that there are two unattended minors (one of which just moments ago was flying about trying to kill him before losing several years of his life to Force bullhonky) in the middle of an active battlefield, and he can't in good conscience leave them there where they might meet their terrible and painful demise, so he just kinda carries Jango under one arm while carrying a very unhappy Boba over his shoulder.
He doesn't know what he's gonna do about these two, but right now the important part is making sure all three of them don't get killed in the confusion... Then later Mace will figure out what the hell is going on.

The Mandalorian Chapter 15 reactions; *nobby nobbs voice* ‘s all gone a bit percychological, sir
 - so from both chapter 6 and now this: rick famuyiwa is incredible at portraying prolonged discomfort and tension (and also at getting din’s endless love for that baby across through the stress of being separated from him. this is the very first episode with no baby in it at all, isn’t it? wow that’s a heartbreaking milestone to reach im crying)
I liked this episode SO MUCH but I had to pause it pretty often and take a breather because it all made me so viscerally uncomfortable on din’s behalf -- not just the armour and having to take the helmet off and be seen for the (almost, ilu IG-11) first time in decades, people keep touching him in this episode when he clearly doesn’t want them to but can’t stop it and it makes me want to claw my own skin off in sympathy, it’s so awful. that’s really neat film making to manage to keep that tension steady almost all the way through!!! 
honestly this episode felt a little bit like psychological horror, with the cheering storm troopers and din in the wrong armour and clearly not digging it and there’s the palpable absence of baby and that ever present dread of being Perceived when you’re not ready for it; everything’s turned upside down from how it should be. and it’s playing with that discomfort both in the main character and in us, the audience, in having the familiar be made unfamiliar and also introducing these questions that shake up everything (that feeling you get of ‘but... if it’s not the helmet, and not the armour, but there’s his face, but we’ve only seen that face once before so it’s still basically new to us, is this... is this still him. is this still Dad’ (oooh I wonder if we’re... sort of getting some of the ??? the baby would be feeling about it too?) we’ve all imprinted on that t-shaped visor like little baby birds, and this was a very clever episode to break us out of that and start to really get used to the thought of him having several faces that are real simultaneously, in a way, and not just a voice. it’s all very smart and interesting and I’m sure I’ll have a lot of incoherent thoughts about this in the weeks to come lol)    
- the actual reason din can’t take off the helmet is that if people were able to see his wide confused puppy eyes they would no longer find it in themselves to send him on long arduous side missions and would help him immediately just so he’d feel better, and that would rob us of like 80% of the content for this show 
mayfeld in this episode: clearly a casualty of this. he literally sees one glimpse of the vulnerability there and then within five seconds goes on to materialize a few redeeming character traits after being a complete jackass for an episode and a half. (I mean. he was 100% still an imperial so I’m a bit ‘hm.’ about how easily especially cara let him off the hook, but with the way it was set up I guess it would have been quite shitty of them to just throw him back in prison so I mean I GUESS. I would be endlessly grateful someone got my awkward bff out of there alive and well too I suppose)
- I actually think din’s sense/integrity of self has gotten so much stronger and more resilient (though probably still quite fragile pls handle with care precious cargo within); if this had happened in the first season I think it might honestly just have killed him (and if it weren’t for IG-11 it probably would have lol)
- can you beLIEVE din is so bad at lying that they literally should plan for contingencies over it fjkasdlhfskajdhfsdj     
- very grateful for the scene with the spear throw that’s basically there to reassure us ‘uh-huh, he absolutely knows how to use it, don’t worry about that part at least’
I want to make a whole post about that fight scene, though, it’s just so GOOD! there’s so much storytelling and characterization in it! even out of the armour din has some real hand to hand MOVES!! he clearly came out of that aching all over, he can barely get back in his seat!!!
- so what I’m mainly taking away from this is that din absolutely cuts his own hair and you know what? he does a good job considering the conditions he has to work under, I love him  
I still find it so goddamn darling that he meticulously maintains that little mustache/stubble combo under there even when there’s every reason to believe no one will ever see it 
I suppose we can also gather that he did not ask cobb about whatever insane feat of magic he’s come up with to avoid helmet hair, but I don’t care looking a bit frazzled and tousled is exactly right for him (he’s so put together when he’s in the armour and a MESS when he’s out of it and I  l o v e  it) 
- boba fett is honestly so fucking hot in this I don’t know what to do with myself haha. he’s so CALM and CALCULATED and COLLECTED in his newly painted armour and he’s GOT THIS and he made that ‘I’ve got one of those faces. one of jango’s many, many, many faces’ joke and he’s so thicc now, he looks like he could easily lift me over his head with one hand and he’s just quietly steady and undramatically supportive and sdalfhsdjhfsa 
- ...din does know who the clone troopers were, right. I mean of course he does. he has to. but does he though. I’m sure he does and just wasn’t thinking. 
- no matter how stressful it was I’m still really grateful that in the end taking the helmet off was something din got to do himself -- it’s under some duress, but it’s still his choice and for the sake of the baby, and almost in two more manageable steps between putting on the storm trooper gear for a different helmet before taking it off altogether. it’s not something done to him by gideon, for example, that would be. so much yuckier and worse. he still has that control and agency intact, even if it’s been tested really hard, and now gideon doing that doesn’t hold the exact same nightmarish power anymore because there’s already a little space opened in din’s mind for different things it can mean, if you see what I mean. I’m not sure I see what I mean actually I just have a lot of feelings haha. so I guess thank you mayfeld for being decent about it and helping him towards that realization that he can still be himself outside these really really inflexible structures he’s set up around himself for like. stability and keeping himself upright for a really long time, and that even someone halfway decent won’t disrespect the boundaries he still has about it at any given moment. man there’s a lot in this episode isn’t there
- the sigh din gave when he saw even more pirates coming and knew he had to get back up... never has a single moment in cinema better captured how I feel about being alive. most relatable man in the world din djarin
- it was really cruel of them to make me listen to din’s dead bleak voice say ‘the child is gone’ again, it wrecks my heart every goddamn time 
- again... I wish carano wasn’t Like That in real life because the cara & fennec scenes should have been everything I could ever dream. ah well fennec was still wonderful and if I just allow myself to think in-universe for a few seconds it was really touching that din would entrust cara with his entire armour, that’s some prime BrOTP energy right there
I love that we got two female characters who were just allies and working together, no competition or nothin’. listen the bar is low but it’s nice to see something actually leap gracefully over it as well lol
- this was one of those with some pretty big open plot holes (why, exactly, would a scan of a completely unknown face be helpful to get into this classified system lol), but a) I don’t care, the emotional storyline was so sound it doesn’t really matter and b) eh handwave handwave let’s say mayfeld programmed that little stick with the good shit and overrode the code saying there needed to be an identity match within the system, it’s all fine 
- I know I joke a lot about this but din really is one of the most relatable characters I’ve ever had. just watching him struggle with eye contact and going pretty much nonverbal under enough stress is like. wow a bit close to home there could we, perhaps, nOT?? (honestly though these are trauma/anxiety things I really don’t see portrayed a lot, especially in protagonists, it’s so odd but healing to see it in a character I love and who’s EXTREMELY competent in many other settings)
- din repeating gideon’s speech back to him word for word (except for the crucial detail that he calls grogu ‘him’ instead of ‘it’ 😭😭😭) and saying nothing else is truly Everything. I’ve said some stuff about din’s deliberate and thoughtful relationship to language in the past and this is such an amazing example of it; he’s remembered that pitch perfect all this time, he’s kept it around in his head and mulled it over and then redeployed it to change the meaning of it completely from dehumanization to love. can you. can you even imagine. and it’s yet another example of his hilarious wonderful petty streak and I can never get enough of it fasjhdfkjalhs    
- din always noticing the children first and foremost Y_______Y (the kids running by is the only thing you see him sort of acknowledge when he’s walking into the covert in season 1 too)  
- please... please I just need him to be able to hold that baby against his chest all safe and sound and okay again I can’t it’s........ hh
NO SEASON END CLIFF HANGER ON THIS I AM  B E G G I N G  YOU 
- I would be having some thoughts about how much space there actually is on slave 1 and what that might mean (do not kill boba again please don’t kill him again), but honestly there’s only ‘GET BABY’ hours in here now, I can’t speculate about anything

A ghostly visit to the graveyard.
(This is 1 of my first stories so sorry if it’s not the best writting. And if some of the info is wrong, it’s either because i missed something or just couldn’t find it when making this story. WARNING: it’s 5089 words long.)
Digi was walking around outside. He had found a way to be able to leave Meera’s apartment without feeling his life essence disappear, at the cost that his unable to touch anything and is even more invisible/non-existing then he normally is in his ghost form, it was kind of a disturbing feeling, but it was useful.
He walked by a graveyard when he heard someone call for him.
???: “Hey, you’re “Digi” correct?”
Digi: “Um, yes that’s me. What do you want?”
A tall ghost peeked over the graveyard walls. His hair was rather ruffled, or fluffy, kinda hard to tell. His skin color was dark blue and his eyes where completely silver in texture. He was more or less 6’7 tall.
???: “I simply wanted to talk about you, and Vincent.”
Digi began to feel a bit uncomfortable, this ghost clearly knew a lot about him, it didn’t take a genius to figure that out. Was he going to attack him? What did he want to talk about with him and Vincent? What was he planning?
The ghost simply made a gesture that mean’s “follow me”, and Digi had a felling that it would be better to follow him, to avoid conflict. They ventured into the cemetery and into the church building that was placed in the middle of the graveyard. The building was large and old, but could still stand for a few more decades perhaps. The bell tower however needed to be replaced.
The ghost placed some tea (or at least the ghost equivalent to tea) at a little table with 2 chairs and sat down.
???: “Take a seat, it much better than standing up.”
Digi: “What is it you want to talk about? And why Vincent? I can understand that you might want to talk about me, but why him to?”
The unknown ghost took a sip from his “tea” and placed it on the table.
???: “Because there’s certain aspects I don’t understand you just accept without fighting back, and the fact that he got a few facts wrong about you.”
This caught Digi by surprise, was this ghost defending him? Why? It hasn’t even been 10 minutes, and Digi already felt more freaked out than ever by this, but also hit by a high curiosity.
???: “I can understand his anger, but he should have known better than putting his anger unto an innocent soul that had nothing to do with the murders or his death.”
Digi: “What are you talking about?! I was there, I was the one who committed all those crimes!”
The ghost took another sip of his “tea” and gave him a “matter of fact” look.
???: “But were you? Think about it, where you physically present? Were you conscious? Did you even exist? The answer to all of those questions, is no, you weren’t. you were first born AFTER the events happened, so why should you pay for a crime, you didn’t even commit?”
Digi: “Me and Lucian is the same person, I’m the same as him.”
???: “That’s where you’re wrong, Digi, a soul can’t be in 2 places, and still be perfectly fine or act completely different from each other like you do, if you were the same as him, you would feel the pain he felt for every punch he got, and you would be able to hear his thoughts, and when a soul DOES successfully split in more parts, there’s a tiny “web” that still connects them, and it’s one of the most painful things you can ever do. You and Lucian doesn’t have this “web” stuck to either of you, nor are you in extreme pain like I am right now. You ARE your own soul, your own being, the only thing you have from Lucian is your face, and only small traces of his personality and memory, comparing you to him, is like comparing two identical twins with each other where the other witnessed the other commit a murder, and then later be convinced that it was themselves who did it. In fact, you’re not a “clone” of Lucian, you’re a clone of the master file, who is in turn the actual clone of Lucian, so you’re a clone of a clone. Another fact is that when Lucian died beyond resurrection, you and master file continued to live. If the 2 of you were the same as him, you would have died along with him. While we talk about cloning, let’s make a movie comparing. In star wars, the jedis didn’t blame the clones for what Jango Feet did, even though the guy killed 12 jedis with his bare hands, and many more with his weapons. They saw the soldiers as different people, despite them all having Jango’s face. Because they WERE different people.”
Digi: “Why are you trying to defend me?”
???: “I’m not. I’m telling the truth, bringing some facts that idiot Vincent seemed to forget about.”
Digi; “He’s not an idiot, yes he’s flawed and sometimes, okey very often, stupid, but so is everyone, and I can understand why he hates me, after all I hate myself to.”
???: “You hate yourself because Vincent pulled a Panther on you, and almost broke you.”
Digi: “VINCENT IS NOTHING LIKE PANTHER YOU BASTARDO!”
???: “Calm down bluebell. That is true, he’s nothing like Panther, but he still did like him and almost broke you, almost, because of him, you now believe you’re the same person and being as Lucian, you believe you need to be redeemed for things YOU didn’t do, but someone else did. You redeeming yourself for what Lucian did, would be the same as if a twin brother should be redeemed for what his brother did, even though he didn’t do it, and the only reason as to WHY he should was because he had the same face. As a matter of fact, the fact that you remember the scene of his death, is not equivalent to you doing it, but like a sibling or friend watching their partner committing the murder, and then Vincent, mentally brainwashed you into believing that it was you who did it. To summarize you are NOT Lucian, you never were and you never will be, and Vincent is an idiot.”
Digi: “Would you stop calling him an idiot?! You don’t know what he has been through, you would have been like him in his shoes.”
???: “I already am in his shoes. It’s not the first time a soul has been cloned, and what happens between you, Vincent and Lucian is pretty much a repeat of what happened to me. Also, Lucian killed my grandson, and used/tricked his wife and killed their child. So yes, I KNOW what he’s been through. I’ve been watching the events this entire time for the last 50+ years, but was never allowed to interfere.”
Digi: “Why are you so upset with this?”
???: “Because I’m furious. How can Vincent be so blind? I’m much more aggressive, hot tempered, less understanding, overall more negative aligned and not nearly as understanding and helpful as he is, neither in life or death, and yet when it was me, when I was in the same situation with Sam and File, I was able to hold my anger and both tell and see that File was NOT the same person as Sam, and yet with Vincent he couldn’t tell the difference what so ever, even after he found out you were positive aligned he didn’t get it through that skull of his, he believed you were trying to sap his energy and kill him, it was only when he realized he had broken the mental comfort zone that he began to wake up, but even that wasn’t enough, he still saw you as Lucian. It wasn’t until he began to be negative aligned himself and nearly killed you and activated the master file that he began to see you as your own being, and yet not really. And let’s not forget when he tried to compare Isabell with Mahogany, I mean of course you can compare a woman who’s dead, and innocent with no blood on her hand with a woman who’s alive and has her fair share of blood on her hand with all the dead guards and when people tried to tell what’s going on but she ignored it. Makes perfect sense.”
Digi: “He’s hold onto his rage for 50-60 years, he didn’t think clearly and had a hard time accepting me and my differences because if what I di-”
???: “STOP SAYING THAT! YOU DIDN*T DO IT!”
Digi made a jump at the sudden outburst and needed a second or 2 to collect himself and sit down again.
Digi “Wouh, eh, em, w-well because of what Lucian did, he hated this face and this eye. And it didn’t help when he met him again with the whole nightmare business.”
???: “Ah yes, because you can compare a giant-ass, purple, child murdering, attempted soul stealing, maniac, Dragonoid, poltergeist-naga, with black and red eyes, wings, horns, who dissolved into nothingness after his final-death because he was to unstable and also tried to turn you into Poulet Basquaise with a bottle of wine on the side, to a blue digital ghost, who’s spiritual structure is much younger and more stable and positive then the former, with normal eyes, 1 silver and 1 green, human body, positive aligned, a lot nicer and lives with Meera and is somewhat a parent to her.”
Digi: “Now it just sounds like you’re nitpicking just a little bit. Anger and hatred can sometimes cloud your mind and not think clearly.”
???: “AND I could accept that, if it wasn’t because he tried to justify his hatred by using Mahogany and Violet as shields, instead of studying the situations after the few first meetings where he spotted the differences instead of throwing them aside. Not just that, but even AFTER he figured out that his anger is no longer justified, he still tried to do it, because he didn’t to “betray” the others, even though you’re a different person and not HIM. He never looked past his first impression when he should, then again that seems to be 1 of his greatest flaws.”
Digi: “First impressions?”
???: “Yes. Think about it, what did he do when Jonathan tried to kill people, and forced poor people’s souls to stay in that hellhole because “no one dies on my watch”? He didn’t try to stop him, or cure him of his mental issue with his way of thinking, neither did he do that with Violet, he only flirted with him, because he still saw Jonathan as the person he was in life, in other words he clung onto his first impression on Jonathan, even though Jonathan created children’s animatronics capable of biting with enough force to rival a full-grown crocodile and great white shark, which resulted in Mike almost dying. Seriously WHO would get the bright idea of giving robots for kids that kind of power? And Jonathan murdered multiple people, and tried to kill Fritz, but that wasn’t enough to get Vincent to fully kick in, it was Jeremy and the others who had to stop him. And then there’s Violet who was obsessed with Faith and tried to kill Mike over and over again, what did Vincent do? Nothing. He clung onto his impression of what his child WAS, too scared to accept reality and do something about his daughter killing people and be completely and unhealthy obsessed with Faith like Panther is with Mike. See where I’m going with this?”
Digi: “I can actually, and that’s something he needs help with to fix, I must admit. But no one was there to disagree with him besides Meera and she wasn’t always there, so he didn’t have the help HE needed in this situation.”
The ghost looked at Digi with a stern look, and spoke with simple words.
???: “What are doing right now?”
Digi: “Talking to you?”
???: “Where are you right now?”
Digi: “A graveyard?”
???: “What are we surrounded by?”
Digi: “All kinds of different ghosts?”
???: “And what are we talking about?”
Digi: “Vincent and his behavior as well as other events that has happened up to this point…..”
???: “As you can see that barely seems like a good excuse to “runaway”, when there’s an entire graveyard with countless people who has seen the events unfold, and uses his loved ones too shield himself instead of doing something about the problem like I did. If I could deal with the problem and face the facts, WITHOUT visiting the graveyard, why not him? He shouldn’t do self-counsel like that, he made you mentally block him out because of that, and almost killed you, himself and almost released the master file.”
Digi “Because, while you state he’s better then you in the “niceness department”, he still might have flaws that YOU don’t have, you just mentioned 2, which were first impressions and his clinginess to what he knows instead of confronting what he doesn’t like to face the reality of. He has different things to work around then you do, why are you comparing him to yourself?”
???: “……………..Because I see Vincent as the man I wished I was…….. Like a better version of myself, a man I could only dream about becoming……… When I saw him making all these mistakes I got angry because I have always been proud of him, wished I was him, but then that happened and it hit me in the face like a truck and all I felt was anger and disappointment…………”
Digi: “I see… D-do you mind telling me the story about you, Sam and file? Maybe that could help a bit…”
???: “Sure. I’ll give you the short version since we don’t have time for the long one. Many years ago, when my 3 children were only 9 years old, I lived a pretty good life with my wife and kids. That was until one day, I came home only to witness the death of my wife and 2 of my kids at the hands of Sam. Of course I attacked him, but he managed to get away when he believed he had killed me. My last child, who was alive had hidden himself away, to not get caught. I called the police and noted them on what happened. Years went by, and I never forgot what happened, and I grew protective and paranoid for my son’s well-being and surroundings. It didn’t help the fact that they often mentioned Sam on the news for a LOOONG time. Many years later, my son had gotten a family of his own, and a son. I was so happy for them, but my fear and paranoia grew more because “what if Sam went for them to?”. Then the event to place. My son had invited the entire family on a family trip to Denmark, me included. We went to LEGOLAND and actually had a pretty good time. It was then I saw a face and some eyes I would never forget. It was Sam. All my focus was now on him, and I left my family to chase after him. I confronted him on a working platform in one of the store houses, and in my anger, I tried to kill him, but the ages had treated him better than it had me, so he manages to throw me off. I was impaled on the back spikes on a “new” Rahkshi animatronic prototype made by the Fitzgerald family. It wasn’t long before I was found, and Sam had died when he lost his footing and fell of the ladder and broke his neck. I could feel that Sam hadn’t left the world just yet, so I possessed the rahkshi animatronic I was impaled on to be able to “live on”, but I also ripped small pieces of my soul and planted them inside my son, his wife and his son, so I could follow what’s going on with them and their lives. Even today it still hurts like hell after I ripped my soul apart, and it’s most likely going to follow me either onto the next life, or even after I have moved on will it still be as painful as it was back then for a LONG time. During night times, and sometimes daytimes, I mostly wondered around fighting with Sam, and tried to either kill him or banish him. Years went by and I finally managed to “kill” him. It was then I noticed that something was off in the basement. I went to check it out, and discovered that a “bad apple” of the Fitzgerald family had partnered up with a certain Mr. Afton. From what I overheard, Mr. Afton had 2 labs dedicated to the idea of cloning souls and soul transplant, the 1st lab was in Denmark right under LEGOLAND, and the other lab was located where Meera found you. Weather they used Sam’s dead body, some of the soul fractions he had left, or if they made a deal with him when he was alive I do not know. It did end up creating the digital ghost named File though. I was angry, I felt like just charging in and impale him with my claws, but I didn’t, I noticed that there was something off with his energy. They didn’t have the same “atmosphere” that negative aligned spirits usually have, it was neutral. I was confused, but chose to have an inspection on how he’d behave since the real Sam was negative aligned, and while the thought didn’t come immediately, it did come pretty quickly that File and Sam couldn’t be the same person, since File would have died along with him, if that was the case, and if File had been a reincarnation, he would have had all of his memories personality traits instead of it being a mumbo-jumbo like with yours. Time went on, I took notice of the differences and accepted the truth full heartily, he was his own individual. It was still hard for me to talk to him, ironically it was him who wanted to talk to me about all things instead of the other way around like you and Vincent. We ended up becoming pretty good friends. That was when I saw my son get killed in an ally way, I could see it because the part of my soul that was ripped off was still inside him, and it still is to this day, even in death, so I still see what he hears and sees. The 2 other pieces I had long since ripped out of my son and his wife, and called them back to LEGOLAND so they could be put back in my soul again. But 1 of the ghosts wanted those 2 parts to stay so I could follow the events on ALL fronts, I didn’t know what he meant, but ones I found out, I agreed to it, so he took one part of my ripped fragment while 1 of his friends to the other part and went into Afton’s robotics so I could see all that went down. As the years passed I followed my son through the fragment inside him, and was proud of him, there were some mistakes I wasn’t so happy for. Many years passed I saw all of the events of the Fredbear chain reaction. And here we are now.”
Digi: “… Thanks for telling me this story.”
The ghost smiled at Digi, like a loving grandparent who just helped their grandkid with something difficult.
???: “No problem.”
Digi: “If I may ask, how did you get here if you “lived” all the way over in Denmark?”
???: “Someone you know helped me with that, it’s a long story best saved for another day.”
Digi: “Why didn’t you interfere? And what would you have done if it was you who were killed by Lucian instead?”
???: “I didn’t interfere because my “main” soul was all the way over in Denmark for the most parts, and even if I were here, I would not be allowed to just jump in on a solefon case, unless I was allowed or invited into it. You’ll get the rundown on the different ghostworld laws and cases on another date. If we say that it was just me and Vincent who switched roles as to who died, I would have made Jonathan wake up to the truth, and made the ghost children especially Violet, to snap out of their craziness, no matter what method I would have to use to wake them up, as long as the end goal was reached.”
Digi: “What do you mean by the last part?”
???: “The morality of the ghost world is different than that of the living. Here the morality can be summoned up in “the end justifies the means” and the thing is, what Vincent did, didn’t get him any closer to the end goal, or even justified the means in on themselves for that matter, while what was necessary to have been able to finish the job with the whole chain reaction earlier on, would have done just that if I was the one who had died by Lucian’s hand and went to work on that place, then it would have been over pretty “quick” since I would just have done the work when I had the chance.”
Digi: “That’s pretty dark….”
???: “The end justifies the means, that’s how it works here in the ghost worlds, it is also why despite there being millions of ghosts, the living only hears or encounter maybe a few hundreds or thousands of them. Because if they mess up, or does something that unjustified the means, they know it’s not going end well. Most of the ghosts who makes themselves visible either don’t care like the purples, or just do it for a short while to make small pranks. Otherwise all ghosts who haunts places or people out of anger, lust or whatever normally gets the short end of the stick when the end finally comes for them. So even if the end justifies the means, we also have to make sure we MAKE it till the end with as few UNjustified means as possible on our soul, none at all if we can do that, or we end up like Lucian and dissolve and die permanently. Or worse.”
Digi: “It has been a… time to talk to you, but I got to go home, before Meera takes my head. Thanks for the talk”
???: “Before you go, there’s something I must tell you.”
Digi: “What is it?”
???: “1 of the purples, the one who got spring locket named Router. He doesn’t know it, and he most likely wouldn’t accept it for a long time, but he is redeemable, and you are one of the key factors alongside Vincent to do that.”
Digi: “Why me?”
???: “I can’t tell, I’m not allowed to, just know that you play a GOLDEN role in this, and who knows, maybe he’ll even begin to accept you as a “father figure”.”
Digi: “But, I don’t have any children, and the closest thing I have of parent experience is me taking care of Meera. Isn’t there some other facts you can share to explain about all of this? Like why I’m such a big part of this? I only knows the gist of this, there must be more, you can’t be done explaining.”
???: “Done explaining. No more facts are left remaining. Now you know the gist of it. You’re a perfect fit. I don’t want to hear no more complaining. I’m passing down this Golden opportunity. Take it with pride and enjoy the ride.”
Digi: “Okay. If you say so. Again thanks for the talk.”
???: “No problem, see ya around.”
Digi leaves the graveyard and heads home to Meera’s apartment where he takes control of the new body of Circus baby that has been made for him. Meera did get angry at him for being away for so long, since she was worried sick.
Meanwhile back at the graveyard. A mysteries, but familiar and friendly figure approached the ghost Digi was talking to not so long ago. SHE was bit miffed, but she would get over it quickly after she’d talked to the ghost about the situation.
???: “I talked to him like you wanted me to, but why couldn’t you talk to him yourself? You have more knowledge about this whole then even I since you were able to see it from ALL angles up there, while I was only able to see it from 4, including myself and my son’s vision. And don’t make that face, you knew that I was going to be rough with this whole serrate from the beginning, Isabelle.”
Isabelle: “While I did expect you to go rough, I didn’t think you would go all in on my poor brother or Vincent.”
???: “I just did what had to be done, and just stated the facts, nothing more, except towards the end where it might have gone a little personal, but it worked out in the end. As time now goes on, the seed has been planted and will grow, and he may finally realize that he’s not a monster. It will take time, and he still has a hard time accepting what I said, but it will work in the end.”
Isabelle: “I know, and I’m happy that he might get better thanks to you. Do you… You think everything will go as planed?”
???: “He still doesn’t know Router is his “real” son, if you catch my meaning. Actually Router ISN’T Digi’s real son, so he will be an adoptive father no matter what, now that I think about it. Then again if he STILL believes at the point when he figures that out that he is Lucian, then things might get a bit hectic. Nevertheless, so far things goes as planned, it’s just about keeping it at that route.”
Isabelle: “I’m just nervous. What if it doesn’t work?”
???: “It will work, and even if it doesn’t, there’s always another route we can take, there’s more than one way to the end you know.”
Isabelle: “You’re right, sorry for bugging you with my fears.”
???: “It’s fine. We all can get nervous, scared and paranoid sometimes. You should get going, your time here is up, I need to do something. Thanks for getting me all the way over here from Denmark.”
Isabelle: “No problem, see you soon my friend.”
???: “Likewise Isabelle.”
Isabelle disappeared and ??? prepared himself for a little “visit”.
Back at Meera’s apartment, Meera was done screaming at Digi for making her so worried. Vincent couldn’t help, but give a little chuckle at it. Digi has been giving Vincent some suspicious looks for some days now, he thinks that Vincent might be the culprit behind why his shirt was designed so short, but didn’t say anything until he could get it confirmed.
Suddenly it rang on the door. Meera went to look who it was, and to her shock it was a towering figure in clothes that cowered it’s body completely, with the only opening visible being the hoodie where it’s face was hiding under both the fabric of the hood, and the shadows that surrounded that face area. It spoke with a mechanical voice, which very clearly sounded like an old voice box from an old model to one of either Afton’s or Fitzgerald’s robots.
Mysteries robot: “I’m here to speak with Vincent. It’s urgent.”
That was all it said. Meera allowed it to enter, mainly because if it’s going to attack, she would rather have the 2 others to be prepared to take it on with her, and if it didn’t attack, then she might as well hear what’s so urgent, and how it knew Vincent was here.
Mysteries robot: “I would prefer to talk to Vincent alone. It’s something we need to discuss in private.”
Meera didn’t like it, but she allowed it to continue, she would have her bat and taser ready just in case.
The old machine walked into the room where Vincent was. Vincent of course was surprised to see this new comer, and he could tell that it was able to see him. His face soon turned to fear, as the robot took of its clothes that had hidden its buddy. The machine was larger than Freddy and his friends, and was clearly meant to look like a robot unlike the others. It has long arms and legs, each with noticeable sphere shaped joint areas. Most of its body was dark grey, the only thing being a different color was its head, hands, feet’s, back, “inner” shoulder, hips and upper legs(under a layer of extra grey plating). Its hands had 5 clawed fingers, and the feet were somewhere between U and V shaped. It had a hunched stand, and on its hunched back 3 large spikes, formed like half-moons pointing backwards, protruding from its back. It’s head was long and round, with small rills on it’s face, which were clearly made in a similar manner to Circus Baby’s face plating, meaning it could open. It’s eye holes where cowered in orange glass.
Vincent recognized the model, this animatronic was based on the Rahkshi called “Turahk”. Bad memories came rushing back to him, and he did not like it.
Mysteries robot: “It has been a while Vincent, last you saw me alive was when Azural took us on a vacation to Denmark, and later LEGOLAND. How’s it going? While Digi was out on his walk I decided to have a bit of a talk with. It’s necessary that I talk with you too.”
Vincent was paralyzed. He knew who it was, but he didn’t know whether if he should be happy to finally see him again after all these years, or be afraid of what it is he has to say. All kinds of thoughts and emotions rushed through him, and he was only really able to say one sentence.
Vincent: “Hey… Grandpa…”
Vincent’s Grandpa: “While I’m here, I would like to get that final piece of my soul back, that you have on you. Take a seat, it’s much better than standing up.”

-Cody and obis relationship ramps up and cody is distracted while Rex snoops around and starts to translate padmes letters to the organas
-padmé was not writing about diamonds she was writing about a boy!!
-Cody finds a drawing of anakin in obis room, recognizes him but doesn’t put together that it’s the kid who hired him 5 years ago for the bank job.
-obi talks about anakin and how he was adopted at nine from quigon, cody notes that leia is also adopted??
-Rex and Cody grow apart and Rex follows through with padmes letters which are about falling in love (and possibly getting pregnant?)
-Obi finally opens up to cody and talks about anakin getting involved with a woman he had no social status to wed
-Maul finds Rex and delivers a letter from Palpatine stating the obvious: He’ll come for the Fett’s family if they don’t bring the Skywalkers back “alive and unharmed” (what?)
-Rex and Cody get into a big fight and Cody breaks in anger and tells Rex that he’d do anything to protect him, all he wants to do is protect his kids. Oh… Cody realizes, this is all about protecting kids, the Skywalkers are not diamonds, duh.
-Now that they know, the brothers go first to Maul who says he didn’t know they were after kids the whole time, he delivers messages and only came bc he wanted to see Obi again
-Rex leaves, and Cody, using the fact that he and Maul have feelings for Obi-wan, convinces Maul to leave for london immediately with the information that the Fetts have the twins and will be ready to hand them over
-Back at the house Rex and Cody talk about how they’re not gonna kidnap anyone, no way
-Feeling bad for the way their relationship has deteriorated, Rex confesses that it was actually Jango who got Codys prison sentence shortened but didn’t want to tell him cause their family’s not great at talking.
-Point is though, Codys family loves him, and they’re who he’s always going to choose
-Cody finds Obiwan and confesses point blank. He’s honest about why he’s there: Boba is sick. And what he wanted: diamonds, absolutely not any kids
-Obiwan doesn’t immediately freak out, he’s just hurt that everything’s been a lie. He is upset though, and doesn’t return the sentiment when Cody tells him he loves him, Cody doesn’t really mean this, he says it as a reaction.
-It’s also explained that ObiWan has only been hiding in his house this whole time to keep up the myth of the diamonds, word got out that padme gave something called the skywalkers to him after she died, but not /what/
-They turned the rumor into valuable diamonds and Luke and Leia were split up for safekeeping, ObiWans been doing his part to keep the story as is.
-Without laying out his plan yet, Cody goes to sleep and is woken in the middle of the night by Obiwan who gets in bed with him and spends the night, they don’t talk, and in the morning there’s a letter and two diamonds on Codys bedside, Obiwans long gone
-Fetts return to London!
-Codys got two diamonds, and does not underestimate Jango in the way Palpatine has
-They go to their dad and tell him to get ready because they’re about to piss of the biggest politician in London
-Codys plan is still unknown but he wants to meet with Palpatine alone, he says goodbye to Rex in an ominous way and tells him to take care of the family, then brings a gun with him
-Palpatine is clearly one of the only people who knows the skywalkers are the queens children, this information can’t really be proven without the kids to ransome off (the palace probably knows and would be willing to pay)
-When Cody arrives Palpatine is flanked by Maul and a man in all black
-Once Palpatine realizes that Cody and Maul lied he threatens to wipe out the Fetts and tells the man in black to kill Cody, Cody also gets his gun knocked out of his hand
-The man in black in Anakin and Cody tells him that he remembers him (from the bank heist) which gets Anakin to pause
-Cody tells him he’s sorry that he never got to be a father and talks about how wonderful Luke and Leia are
-Anakin is conflicted and can’t quite pull the trigger while Cody is talking about his kids
-Palpatine gets angry and says he’ll do it himself only-
-Maul shoots Palpatine dead and tells Cody to run, he’s taken all the blame for this whole mess and now Anakin watched him murder Palpatine, why he does this is unclear, but his unrequited love for Obi-Wan might have had something to do with it
-Cody takes the two diamonds and runs, he makes it back to his family and they escape London
-There was a subplot about Fives being accused of a crime he didn’t commit and being missing ever since his brothers broke him out of jail
-While Palpatine was threatening the Fetts he says something like “And don’t think the little one in Paris is safe either” meaning Fives is likely in Paris
-Rex heads off to Paris and before he leaves he talks to Cody about his sexuality and makes sure he knows that he doesn’t care, he loves him no matter what
-Cody ends up finding Fox and joining up with him as a partner at the law firm where he makes forgeries and fake marriage documents, some even for gay couples.
-Jango and Boba move out to the country which the money from the two diamonds, and Bobas lungs are cured, he grows up happy with his father
-Fourteen years later Luke finds Cody, still working with Fox and thanks him for saving his life
-He wants Cody to come back with him because Obi-Wan still talks about Cody and Luke has been trying to reunite them ever since he got old enough to travel on his own
-Cody is doubtful, but after some convincing from Rex, follows Luke back to Saltcoats where he also meets Leia
-The final scene is Cody walking up some stairs to Obi-Wans study
-Obiwan thinks it’s Luke and asks, back turned, if Luke likes the arrangement of the bouquet of pink roses on his windowsill
-Cody says they look beautiful

All the vowels for the fandom ask meme?
A- Ships that you currently like a lot.
Obimaul, of course. And Han/Boba. Those are the two I write the most myself. Spiritassassin (Chirrut/Baze). Bodhi/Luke. Finnrey and Stormpilot (Finn/Poe). Adding Rey to Stormpilot is nice, too, although maybe in more of a Poe and Rey sharing Finn thing since Rey’s age makes things a little iffy with Poe. There are a lot more pairings that I like or am open to but am not actively wild about. I’m down for all kinds of things. :)
E- Have you added anything cracky/hilarious to your fandom? If so, what?
I don’t know if I’ve added anything cracky that was accepted by a larger part of fandom except for Wheatley/Fact in the Portal musical. It hasn’t stopped me from adding cracky things entirely on my own, though. Most of my Portal ships are probably cracky.
I have that cracky headcanon the two of us came up with about Boba having a couple of more-intelligent-than-usual cats. And Han being allergic to them.
There might be things I’m just not remembering.
I- Has Tumblr caused you to stop liking any fandoms, if so, which and why?
To be honest I grew disenchanted with fandoms before I even joined tumblr, but wow has tumblr ever made it all a whole lot worse. These days fandoms seem to go from 0 to toxic in under a week. I might be a fan of various things but I hate fandoms themselves. Too much gatekeeping, too much policing, and way WAY too much hatred. There’s also too much idolizing and normalization of villains/villainous behavior. Liking them because they’re bad guys is one thing, but more and more people keep trying to rationalize away all the atrocities they commit and/or make their violent behavior seem romantic and basically trying to twist the bad guys into romantic heroes and that... makes me really uncomfortable. Which might seem hypocritical coming from someone who likes Obimaul, but I tend to keep things pretty “vanilla” and I don’t have Maul torturing Obi-Wan and acting like he’s doing it out of love.
O- Choose a song at random. Which ship or character does it remind you of?
“We Know the Way” from Moana. It’s kind of an obvious leap given that Temuera Morrison is in the movie, but it makes me think of the Mandalorians and how... frustrating their depiction has been. Mindless warmongers who are more interested in fighting and narrow concepts of “honor” rather than literally anything else. The song makes me yearn for a group of Mandalorians who are explorers and wayfarers, heading out into the vasty deep to “fight” the unknown, find new homes, and maybe meet new people. Imagine if Jango had grabbed Boba and run, leaving the brewing war and complicated politics behind just to go out and show his son the universe. Maybe even meeting up with other Mandos so that both of them have a support system.
U- Three favorite characters from three different fandoms, and why they’re your favorites.
Finn from The Force Awakens. He’s sweet and earnest and has such a good heart. He does the right thing even when it scares him. He’s a good person who was raised and conditioned to be an obedient weapon but still turned his back on that when given the opportunity. He’s got a wide-eyed innocence about him but that doesn’t mean he’s an idiot. I think he’s a lot stronger than people give him credit for, too, especially in his principles. He won’t shoot innocent people, but he will fight to protect others.
Fact Core from Portal 2. Not just the musical version (where he’s wonderfully portrayed by Andrew Lynch) but even within the game. He sounds so prissy and sure of himself even while he spews absolute nonsense. He’s the most ignored core in fandom, too, which is disappointing. Oh sure, Factventure is a popular ship, but most of the fics I’ve seen are so cringey. There’s no depth to either character and it’s just generic Jock/Nerd BS with little to no imagination given to their dynamic or development. I did know a really excellent Fact RPer back in the heyday of fandom and they did great stuff with the character, but that was the exception rather than the rule.
October Daye from the books by Seanan McGuire. She’s stubborn and reckless- although these days at least she’s trying to learn SOME caution. She has some clear ideas about what she thinks is Right and Wrong and will forge ahead even if it defies convention among her mother’s people (the fae). She tries to look out for others even at expense to herself. And she’s got a lot of snark. 
(and sometimes) Y- What are your secondhand fandoms (i.e., fandoms you aren’t in personally but are tangentially familiar with because your friends/people on your dash are in them)?
Mass Effect. I love the universe of it, but I can’t play those kind of games so I make do with all of the cool art and gifs that cross my dash.
Brooklyn 99. By all accounts it’s a sharp, brilliant, funny comedy and I LOVE seeing all the gifs and silliness from it, I just... really hate sitcoms on a level so deep I don’t think I can overcome it even for the sake of a “good” show.
Gotham. I hate gritty grim depressing shows even more than I hate sitcoms, but I’m becoming very familiar with Penguin and Riddler and they seem like fun characters (and horrible horrible people). Very different from the Penguin and Riddler I remember from old reruns of the ‘60s Batman show, but few things could ever be like that again. LOL!
