That Finale

OPINION

I do not think the clones were hesitant about destroying Kamino because it was the origin of their creation, their home, I think they were hesitant more for the fact that it was their ONLY place of origin.  

Tarkin, even though we do not see it, pretty much executed whole clone battalions as part of his “assessments” for the needs of the Empire.  Leaving those who survived or were ranked high enough to constitute as “trainers” for the new recruits.  

Now with no home to be sent back to, when the clones are un-needed, where are they supposed to go?   All the cities were destroyed on the planet.  That was their first combined “mission” with Clones and The Empire, wiping out a whole planet, their home world.

ALL ONTOP OF NOT BEING PAID LIKE THEIR CONSCRIPTED REPLACEMENTS.  So now not only is their home destroyed, but they have no support, they are left completely reliant upon a galactic military that does not value their service, which put the Empire in place, but exploits their collective experience as continued slave labor.

Just too much!  Too sad!

Star Wars, Dave Filon, can conduct one hell of a Space Opera.

I get that you’re upset (re: men as monoliths in fanfic; working out issues through sex with fem-coded bodies), but I would encourage you to think about how your words look to other writers. Some of these writers are young and may not have a lot of writing experience or life experience. You’re a big blog with a lot of followers. I wonder how your words, which can come across as hurtful, look to newer, inexperienced writers. Let people make mistakes and learn and grow, instead of lashing out. I don’t disagree with you; I think it’s a problem too, but maybe consider a little empathy. You’re not morally superior for your depictions of men in fanfiction, and unfortunately, that’s how many of your posts are coming across lately.

i really almost blocked you babes and went on with my day but ya know what? my schedule is pretty clear and i do in fact have the time.

so you agree with what i said…………but you’re mad i wasn’t nice about it???????

LMAO anon are you lost?

“you’re a big blog with a lot of followers” it’s giving oh you have impressionable audience that see what you do you should censor yourself. like ?? what am i, a defunct disney channel star? and you’re mad at ME bc you think I’M giving a superiority complex? i just really simply truly have to laugh.

here’s the thing: i have no control how others view and take in whatever the fuck i post, so if someone chooses to be offended by me saying men deserve to be treated as full wholly realized human beings, so be it. good for them.

because the same subgroup of people who write men like this also happen to write these men – BROWN MEN – with a lot of racist stereotypes. they’re aggressive. they’re insatiable. they’re animals – feral. the venn diagram of these two groups of writers is very nearly a circle and so are the issues of misogyny and racism. so hmm, no wonder the folks who are okay with instilling their writing with one feel just fine sprinkling in the other.

to echo your own words here, the point of making mistakes is so LEARN AND GROW. and yet time and time again the same fucking issues keep cropping up DESPITE individuals being called out for their mistakes. part of making mistakes is owning up when you make them and listening to folks who offer up solutions on how to do better. but since people would rather be fucking clowns, being nice and kind and coddling doesn’t seem to work.

so you’re worried new and inexperienced writers and those with less “life experience” will see me “being mean” about important issues and i’ll hurt their feelings. oh dear. where is this energy for the young and inexperienced READERS who read harmful shit and think oh yeah, that’s definitely how we should view sex and relationships and men ??? i know some of y’all like to think differently but the fact of the matter is fiction reflects life and vise versa – they both impact one another and when you write men as having little to no emotional depth, that they all want the same thing and have no control over their impulses, you’re truly telling on yourself. just say you don’t see men as people with nuance and individuality, that they’re sex-crazed beasts. just say it out loud. it’ll be easier for all of us.

if you take issue with someone calling out a harmful and important issue because they’re not NICE about it???? i just. fink about it babes. some of y’all would really rather be nice to everyone and not ostracize anyone even when they are being shitty. even when they push racist and misogynistic narratives. y’all won’t reblog hugely important posts about unwhitewashtbb and the racism in star wars bc you’re worried some of your followers won’t agree and get their feelings hurt. it boggles the fucking mind.

and if you’re a newer or inexperienced writer, i HOPE you saw the post anon is referring to – here ya go, if you haven’t, and i hope you see this one, too. and i hope you take a second to think about it all, and if your immediate reaction is to get bothered, think about that too. why does this bother you so much? if the reason is simply because i’m not mincing my words and ~being nice~, perhaps reevaluate your priorities. “you can’t be nice to everyone because being nice to certain people is inherently cruel to others.”

and if you’re STILL bothered, please unfollow and/or block me. literally what is stopping you.

A peek...

Alright I’m bored, needing depth for my Fanfic, gonna analyze the Bad Batch’s barracks.  

It’s a mess, clear cut right off the start which shows how little Kaminoan  discipline of cleanliness (conditioning) was in affect in these particular clones.  

Echo has the hammock near Tech’s bunk and surrounded by his equipment.  Tech has hacked into the power conduits over his bunk to have all these mechanical arms and tools added so he could probably work on tinkering something by his bunk.- noted by @1fineslytherin​.  The lights here are dim, then after the Batch escapes Kamino and Crosshair moves in with his new squad the lights are restored to the typical Kaminoan illuminating fashion.  This may have been done for Hunter to ease his senses, POSSIBLY.  

As for that smell...

Wrecker has food on his bed, which has been left rotting and festering for about 206 or whatever rotations since the last time they were there.  No wonder it smells.  Along with a clothes line along the back wall which I guess is a step towards some sort of cleaning process?  Boy’s a wreck. - I am not sorry for that pun.  

Crosshair has a perch at the top left hand corner, it is level with Tech’s workstation from across the room.  He has three posters of droids on his back wall, each have distinct holes in the papers resembling the proper kill shots necessary to put down a droid.  Through the holes you can see the wall that they are pinned against, he used these for practice and brought them back to look at / show off / be his intimidating toothpick suckeling self.  As pointed out by @yavielin-feanarien, the center poster spells the letter ‘C’ in Aruebesh.  He also has 2 sets of fresh blacks folded neatly sitting on his sheets.  

I do believe given Wrecker’s messy manner and Tech’s clutter, Crosshair and Hunter decided to take opposite sides to keep the room in some sort of balance.  I say this because honestly I would want a roommate who is clean, not a slob, so in this kind of rooming situation I would want to be on the side with the other clean individual.  But I can see why they would take opposite sides to maintain some sort of “Order” within the room.  

Tech’s perch.  💕

-Tech states that he doesn’t want to sleep next to Wrecker’s junk in their opening episode...bro use those goggles to look at your own room first.  

-Wrecker definitely stole that couch from somewhere.  It’s a BIG couch for a BIG man such as himself.  They have their bunks, benches with no backs to lean into, and crates are all that can be sat on in this room.  Can definitely understand why Wrecker would bring this piece of furniture into their barracks. 

Tech’s bunk is made, and adorns his scribbles of equations.  With all this wall art, makes me wonder who drew that Padme nose art in the deleted reel.  😀  My credits on Tech.  

Hunter’s bunk is made and tidy. he is definitely a boot man, called it!  He has medals pinned to the backboard, no idea what that thing is in the corner, it might be a canteen.  He’s got the iconic Bad Batch 99 skull on his wall, I just dig this man.  

One last thing that I see a problem with as a collective, is that they don’t bring gonky into the room with them.  I like to think that because he is a defective unit that the facility would snatch him up and decommission him, or that he would be bullied by other droids.  So they agree that he’s gotta remain on the ship but still!  

Anyways....I would still like to be their shared barrack hoe.  No lie.  

Crosshair and kittens

*note* last episode hit hard, y’all might need something to heal ya soul

Order 66 ended Squad 99...

After counting the board there are 55 tally marks:successful missions.  Add 11 more and that is a total of 66 tallies... 

When the Batch return to their sunken barracks on Kamino for whatever reason there are still only 55 tallies.  We clearly witnessed Wrecker marking the last 11 in the first episode BUT WHATEVER.  

That last mission together is where everything fell apart.  The Jedi Order, the GAR, and The Bad Batch.  Order 66 ended the Jedi Order, as it ended Clone Force 99.
