Echo *talking to Rex*: Don't worry Sir, he's only annoying on days that end with the letter Y.

Rex *inexpressive*: Everyday ends with the letter Y Echo.

Echo *nods sagely*: And everyday he gets more annoying.

Fives *pops into view*: Hey!

How the clone leaders react to getting a kiss on the cheek for helping you

Rex: He blushes from head to toe. He looks stunned, eyes wide and darting everywhere, as you pull away. The 501st doesn’t spend much time among civilians, often deployed to the frontlines for their consistent effectiveness, so the captain is unaccustomed to gestures of gratitude. He stumbles and mumbles a quick and low “thank you” before clearing his throat and giving a curt nod. On a dime, he blanches, shakes his head, and corrects himself, “Uh, oh, I mean, you’re welcome.” He sighs, winces, and closes his eyes as he shakes his head again.

Cody: He looks at you fondly, leans down, and places a hand on your elbow as you lean in. “Happy to help,” he says warmly. His smile is genuine, not just polite. As marshal commander, he interacts with more people than the other clone leaders, and as the Great Negotiator’s second-in-command, he’s become adept at diplomacy. He understands the need to represent his brothers well to the public and welcomes any small gesture of goodwill.

Howzer: He remains at parade rest throughout, a tight smile on his lips. “Just doing my duty,” he says politely before quickly moving on. He’s spent an inordinate amount of time with the civilian population of Ryloth, more than most clones whose campaigns usually last a few rotations before decamping to a new planet, so he’s familiar with their manners and customs. He’s ambivalent about these kinds of gestures, thinks they’re both unnecessary and yet a happy reminder of his competency.

Gregor: He won’t see it coming, and when he does, he freezes. He giggles and touches his cheek as you pull away. “What was that for,” he asks, slightly incredulous, and when you tell him, he huffs and follows confidently with, “Guess I should help you more often.” And you believe he actually will.

Wolffe: He’s at attention, his hands balled behind his back straight as an ironing board, but he tilts at the waist so you can reach his cheek. His eyes cant slightly in your direction, the corner of his mouth tugging up and his left eye wrinkling as you pull away. “My pleasure,” he purrs, low and sweet. As commander of the battalion typically tasked with rescue and recovery, he’s used to receiving thanks, and you quickly realize he enjoys this particular show of gratitude. He feels he’s earned it.

Fox: He still has his helmet on, but that doesn’t stop you. He sees you start to lean in and cuts you off immediately. “That’s not necessary,” he says sternly and walks away. The Coruscant Guard resents not being on the battlefront. Not that they think their work is below them, but they don’t feel their actions warrant such rewards when their brothers are dying throughout the galaxy.

Tuvok says that Vulcan children are very well behaved and have a lot of emotional control by the time they’re ~elementary school aged which makes sense but also makes me want to see what a Vulcan toddler or kindergartener acts like since they can’t be reasoned with as well (can’t really meditate) + are babies and also brimming with near irrepressible violence/emotions.

Vulcan toddler is just quietly accompanying their parent along on an errand. They stop and point to a toy of some sort and ask politely if they can have it. Their parent explains that they have enough toys at home. The toddler immediately throws the tantrum of the century. Just turns into an absolute wild animal in their rage. Other Vulcans are just like “aaa I remember when my children were that age” but any aliens around are like “oh my god is that thing OK??” I imagine even older Vulcan children would have issues with emotional control given that they’re also children! Though they’d of course know they needed to control themselves and behave...sometimes you just slip up. Vulcan children are playing together harmoniously. Then one breaks the established rules of the game. “I made contact with your arm. You are now the chaser.” “You did not make contact with my arm. I dodged your attempt.” “You dodged unsuccessfully. I made contact with your arm.” “I did not.” “You are cheating.” “I believe you are the one cheating.” And an adult has to rush over as one pounces on the other and they both begin screaming and clawing at each other’s eyes. The rest of the children are watching with interest or perhaps grabbing implements to assist their friend. Little lapses in emotional control would probably be common until they reached like....highschool age. I can imagine an eleven year old Vulcan hearing they can’t sleepover a friend’s home and immediately shattering a vase before apologizing and cleaning it up. It also seems like bullying would be very prevalent on Vulcan. Spock is canonically bullied frequently and it seems natural that Violent, Extreme Emotions in teenagers would lead to that kind of behavior which isn’t outwardly unacceptable (like crying, laughing, etc) but still satisfies an illogical desire towards cruelty and establishing dominance. Vulcans schools probably have so many ‘Bullying Is Illogical’ seminars that do nothing and everyone makes fun of behind their teacher’s backs. Two Vulcan teenagers bullying each other, trying to see who has the more emotional reaction. If you cry or get mad you lose. Only babies cry and get mad...seems pretty illogical(cringe). Vulcans seem to be very focused on respectability so I’m sure that as bloodthirsty teens there would be a lot of accusations and rules...if you hang out with X then Z,H and Y won’t talk to you. If you apologize too soon then they might accuse you of behaving too emotionally and gossip about you...if you don’t apologize at all they might accuse you of behaving too emotionally and gossip about you. It’s very stressful. Tuvok also said when he was a teenager in that one flashback that he was ready to fight over the girl he had a crush on (saying he’d “issue a challenge” or something) so I’m implementing that into my personal understanding of Vulcans...like adults do NOT want these kids to fight but amongst other teens they’re like: “Seynar is my boyfriend.” “I disagree. He sat next to me during meditation three times this week.” “Only because I was absent.” “Then he is fickle and will be mine soon enough.” And then they challenge one another to a secret duel after school. Dueling to the death is very cool and grownup v_v (teens rarely die from such duels though bc either the other teen stops or someone told an adult). It makes sense to me that teenagers with violent urges would fight one another in a way that they consider acceptably adult. (mimicking the marriage ritual thing or even pon farr...romantic and cool.) Imagine being a teen Vulcan and your crush starts hinting that they have another person who might be interested in them....hmmm.....and you know you’re gonna have to duel for them or lose em. Such is life. Vulcan teens seem like they’d either date a lot (emotional whims) very non seriously (because they’re all betrothed) or date not at all because they’re gonna get married to their betrothed anyway. Loving someone other than your fated match is probably a pretty big trope in Vulcan romance stories...or maybe the opposite? Like someone bad tries to steal your heart but you remain resolute and return to your fated match as is logical. Anyway all this to say that I think Vulcan children and emotional control is something that’s fun to think about. Especially regarding how Vulcan children would act around adults vs other children. Vulcan child to adult: I will do my best to get along with my sibling. (2 seconds later once mother has left) Vulcan child: You may play with the red toy. If you play with the blue toy I will harm you. Bodily. Meanwhile their older sibling is rolling their eyes like ugh....threatening violence is for babies....now to prepare for my logical and very adult duel for the love of my life whom I have known for three months. v_v

#vulcans #my writing #this is just stream of consciousness thoughts though #I just think Vulcan children should behave differently than adults...brains not done cooking yet and mastery of emotions is not complete #vulcan children being almost entirely self interested until a certain age #at which point they become very outward-facing...trying to please others around them and be liked/respected by their peers..trying to fit in #and then as adults they're able to strike a balance between knowing oneself and being respected by others #Vulcan teen frantically trying to decide if it's more logical to obey their parents wishes that they not go out to a party #or to go to the party which T'Yana said EVERYONE was going to be at....#since T'Pol says that Vulcans were (pre-reform) in factions I think that'd carry into their modern emotions...#is it more logical to be loyal to the familial 'faction' or the friendship one?#Meanwhile their baby sibling is screaming and banging their fists against the door because they WANNA! COME! IN! LET ! THEM! IN! (No.)#eeeeveryone thinks babysitting a Vulcan child will be SO easy until they threaten to rend your flesh from bone then set the house ablaze #because you wouldn't let them stay up five more minutes #star trek #I think Vulcans should be a little fucked up and wild but want that to NEVER EVER get out #I hope this makes sense v_v #how vulcan children act around peers vs adults vs alien adults etc should be different #hehe I also think as small children they'd just call anything they personally don't wanna do 'illogical' and their parents have to sigh and #teach them how to separate 'what is logical' from 'what I want to do'

oh god yeah i mean i read it uhh. last september or something and since then ive only given one other book five stars which was. my brilliant friend elena ferrante

#tbf that is partly because i do not like rating books five stars too easily im very picky about that like. to say a book is five/five is a #big statement i do not often feel prepared to make...young mungo made me sob though that one was very easy #telegram #reading tag #godsofwoes

i will never get why Wrong Side Of The Tracks has a time bonus of 7 MINUTES, i know the map is kinda small and the game wants you to go gun blasting rather than stealth BUT WHY 7 MINUTES??? YOU GIVE ME SOME OF THE MOST DIFFICULT ENEMIES, THEY HAVE ONE OF THE MOST DEADLY WEAPONS IN THE GAME THAT CAN KILL YOU IN SECONDS AND THEY ARE QUITE A LOT, GIVE ME AT LEAST 10 MINUTES

#manhunt #manhunt 1 #I JUST HATE A LOT THIS LEVEL #“is player fault” I DONT CARE IS A BAD LEVEL FOR ME #I SWEAR IS HARD TO GET FIVE STARS IN THIS LEVEL BECAUSE OF THE TIME BONUS #i still don't believe this level was the one that took me the most retry #the last levels were way too easy to get five stars than wrong side of the tracks

very good feeling in a gacha game to look at future characters and just be like. meh. idc.

#gigi.txt #out of the next seven characters upcoming if leaks are accurate (prob are)#only two i'm planning on going for. so. easy for me.#only reason i'll reconsider is if the characters i don't know prove 2 be wildly engaging in the next arc (maybe)#or if the gameplay is INTENSELY fun #i love the lil team of characters i've cultivated tho so i'm happy and content.#trying to take my sister's attitude towards genshin towards this #she's been playing for like a year now but has only pulled for one five star

Okay, just about to take my seat and watch Jamie Tates little gay rugby film finally. A very reliable source has informed me that the hanging of dong occurs only one (1) time in the whole thing, and neither cock nor balls are Jamie’s, so naturally the film is starting with a rating of -3 balls 🏉 out of 5 and will have to work its way up to something respectable

#in from the side #could’ve been an easy five stars from me #an esteemed movie critic #but they fumbled the ball #so to speak #personal

Amanda Grayson with her Hubby and Stepson

#I wanted to redesign Amanda Grayson bc I like her flamboyant old woman look but when she's young they always style her look very bland #and proper...and I want her to look like kind of a hippie teacher mess #Amanda & Sarek - annoying girl x killjoy guy #we are each insufferable in our own unique ways #Amanda has a way of getting to people - whether it's good or bad depends on the person but she's someone you remember and who it's easy to #end up talking to for hours and Sarek realizes this too late...before he even knows whats happening he's grocery shopping with this woman as #they both complain about how BRIGHT the store lights are #Sarek: (on date number five) ..........I have a son by the way / Amanda: Aw shit. Let's go to chuck E Cheese.#Amanda goes into Sarek's quarters for the first time and is like this place is AWFUL!! and by the end of the week she's redecorated.#She built him a bedside table. He bought her a pair of gaudy earrings which she loved but didn't get herself during one of their shopping #trips bc she exclaimed 'Ugh! Who do I think I am!?' and speed walked away #Also last bit of personal lore but Amanda told Sarek (as a joke) that before they got married he should ask her father first #(she said this bc Sarek asked her to marry him on like the second date since Vulcans don't date - she said no)#so when Sarek meets Amanda's father he asks the man to marry him - misinterpreting her words (Amanda DIES laughing)#Sarek seems straight but tradition is tradition - if he has to marry Amanda's dad before he can marry her he'll deal with it #Stepmom Amanda swag...she's gonna give this grumpy lil boy a piggyback ride and giggle about his dad with him #anyway...I like this version of Amanda - she makes her own kombucha and insists you take a jar home with you #Sarek/Amanda #star trek #star trek art #Sarek #Amanda Grayson #sarek art #amanda grayson art #bea art tag #Sarek calls Amanda : dear darling beloved blossom my heart etc #Amanda calls Sarek: elbows knees bigntall sharpie etc #the times she calls him stuff like 'honeycake' and other such stupid-sweet things are times he pretends to find baffling but cherishes 4ever #couple that has a list of things to ask before they eat at a new place #Is it vegetarian? Is it kosher? Is it organic? Is it spicy?

Hi! So I have a OC clone who's a defective clone (he's autistic) and Rex takes him in and he gets to join the 501st. I was just wondering how do you think Krell would have treated a defective clone?

I don't think I'm equipped to answer on how Krell would treat your OC as autism differs for everyone who has it depending on how they are on the spectrum.

That being said, I feel that if you really want to think about how he would treat them, it's a matter of understanding who Krell is.

It's easy to vilify him -- he's very hateable but I've always seen little glimpses of how he possibly could have been a....good...general before his descent by the time we meet him in Umbara.

He's pragmatic, blunt and to the point.

Very no nonsense and goes by regulations. Believes in getting results. Is not easily swayed in his emotions. Handles pressure well.

So, I think regardless of one's "shortcomings" he would not treat anyone differently so long as they can pull their own weight and do what needs to be done.

He'll give credit where it is due.

But he is also the sort of leader that will call someone out publicly in front of their peers if they make a mistake. He's not malicious about it and the focus would not be on the clone being "defective", if they are. In fact -- he'll not allow them to even bring it up as an "excuse".

I think the clones who would respect him the most are those who do not care about cultivating a friendly relationship with their general but rather a general they know they can wholly rely on who always knows what to do and says it straight.

As in, they really appreciate the "tough love" approach to his command, and in some ways, his mentorship. On the flip side, there are definitely clones who hate him on that same basis. But he does care...in his own way.

However, by the time we meet him in Umbara, Krell has stopped caring at all.

#i think it would be such easy pickings to say that he would be the kind of person to pick on a clone for being /defective/#like that's just the easy peasy route to write his character #since he's already hateable you know?#but when you're watching him he undermines them in umbara because he wants things done a specific way #he wants someone who follows orders #i mean not all the clones felt the same way as fives or rex #anon ask #sw meta #pong krell #long post #gif #celebrate the clone wars #clone wars #star wars
