I am now afraid
"Always being cold isn't a personality trait"
to YOU.
I read somewhere that Cody got his scar from a drunken speeder bike accident, and I will firmly believe this until we find out how he actually got it.
i will be forever pissed that tcw didn’t focus on the clones more, actually, because why do we not know how Cody and Rex met.
Cody is literally a CC and Rex is a CT. they’re entire different classes, there’s no way they were in the same batch. and yet they are extremely close, some of the closest we’ve ever seen, and they’ve been like that from the bat!! they didn’t become close because of Obi-Wan and Anakin!!!
like, did Rex have a batch that was entirely blond too? or was he just the odd one out? is that not even relevant because he dyes his hair?
we have no fucking idea and i am so curious!!!
how did Cody get enough say on Kamino to literally lobby to the Kaminoans and be listened to about the Bad Batch because they’re different?! where did that come from???? i’m so!!!!!!!!
also, the famous question of Cody’s scar. where did that come from, huh?
Chapter One: The Cadets
Rex woke up with a start and immediately knew something was wrong. He screwed his eyes shut and thought back to the night before. All he had done was sign some reports and pass out onto his bunk after feeling lightheaded. Nothing was wrong then. Something sure felt wrong now. He sat up, yawning and looked to the mirror at the other side of his quarters. And screamed. Jumping up, now wide awake, he stumbled over to the mirror and stared in terrified awe. The cadet in the mirror stared back. His blacks were now about 6 sizes too big and his short blond hair was now sitting around his shoulders. Just like he had it when he was a cadet. “No, no, no, no, no!” He cried, unable to tear his gaze away from his new reflection.
The door to his quarters opened with a small whoosh and the General stood in the doorway, looking around worriedly.
“Rex, are you okay-“ Skywalker stared at Rex who was now very slightly panicking. “Cadet, what are you doing in Captain Rex’s quarters, wait, no, what are you doing on the ship?”
Rex had to say something. He turned to the doorway hesitantly.
“Sir, I’m Rex.” He said, startled at how young his voice sounded. The General stared at the little blond child that was standing in oversized blacks in Rex’s quarters. Rex couldn’t tell if the General believed him or not.
“Wait, wha- how, that’s-“ Skywalker stuttered, visibly confused at the situation. “Rex?!”
“Yes, sir.” He replied, attempting to stand at attention, but only managing to look like he was trying to fix his posture. This is a dream, right? He thought furiously, staring at his now small hands. He looked in the mirror again. He looked eleven years old. He looked his physical age.
The General’s comlink started to aggressively beep at him. Not breaking eye contact with Rex, he answered the call. “Skywalker here.”
“Anakin, something has happened to my troops.” General Kenobi’s voice came through urgently. “I need you to come to the Negotiator and bring Rex."
"Why?" General Skywalker asked, curiously. General Kenobi cleared his throat and said:
"It appears they have.....turned into children, somehow."
Skywalker looked at his comlink in a mixture of horror and panic. Rex sat down. So it’s not just me. He thought. Then immediately regretted it when Fives, fully grown, came sprinting down the hall, almost crashing into General Skywalker.
“Sir, I can’t find Echo or Rex!” He doubled over, panting. It was obvious he had run halfway across the Resolute looking for Skywalker when he couldn’t get ahold of Rex. Looking into Rex’s quarters Fives froze, staring at him. Skywalker rolled his eyes and walked over to the end of the corridor, so he could take his call in peace. Fives barely noticed him.
“Ca-Captain?” He asked cautiously. Rex sighed.
“Yes, Fives.”
Fives looked like he was going to pass out. Then he doubled over laughing.
"Fives!"
"S-sorry-" Fives gasped between cackles. Rex's comm started to aggressively beep from the other side of the room. He got up and immediately tripped on his oversized blacks, which caused Fives to fall to the ground wheezing. Rex rolled his eyes and answered the call.
"Captain!" A young voice yelled from the comlink, "Sir, you have to get to the barracks!”
Fives stopped laughing. “Echo?!” He called crawling over to Rex and the comlink.
“Fives! I’m stuck in the vent!” Echo replied, panic growing. Rex sighed as Fives collapsed in a new fit of giggles.
“How did you get in the vent?”
“Well, I woke up as a cadet and panicked, so I climbed into the vent.”
“But the vents are small enough for a cadet to fit into.” Rex replied, confused.
“Yeah, but not for a fully grown clone!” Mumbled another voice.
“Don’t tell me Hardcase got stuck in the vent again?” Rex asked already done with day, even though he only just woke up. Fives was now suffocating with the force of his own laughter. Rex ignored him.
“Hardcase got stuck in the vent again.” Echo confirmed, “Please help us.”
“Yep, Rex out.”
He turned to Fives, who was practically dying on the floor. “Fives, stop laughing and go help your brothers.” He attempted to use his usually commanding tone, but that made Fives laugh harder. Sighing, Rex went over to his small closet, and pulled out a spare cadet uniform. It was regulation to keep at least one cadet uniform in the barracks, just in case a kid got on the ship. Again. Rex shoved Fives out of his quarters and changed.
It had been years since he had worn this uniform and he felt nostalgic, standing in the soft fabric. Grabbing one of his DC-17 blaster pistols, he opened the door and started to walk towards the barracks.
“Oh, hell no.” Fives said, plucking the pistol from Rex’s grasp.
“Hey!” He protested attempting to seize the blaster that Fives was holding above his head. “Give me the blaster, Fives!” He yelled, now trying to kick the other in the shin.
“Uh uh uh, cadets can’t have blasters.” Fives sung at him, obviously absolutely delighted at being able to tease his Captain with no real consequences. Well, not no consequences.
“Fives,” Rex breathed in his most dangerous voice, “give me the blaster, or you’ll get so many demerits it’ll seperate you from Echo.” It still worked.
“Yes, sir.” Fives replied, handing it over.
The second they got to the barracks, Rex really wished he was fully grown and not for the first time today. Half the men were running around screaming, and the other half were kriffing cadets. This is really bad. Rex thought as he yelled, “Everyone calm down!”
The commotion stopped. Everyone was looking at Fives, like he was the one who yelled. Rex rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. “What is going on here? I take a break for, what five minutes, and all of you are screaming and running around like headless nunas!”
All eyes were on him now as the men processed what was going on.
“Captain, is, is that you?” Jesse whispered, uncertainly. Rex sighed again.
“Yes, Jesse, it is me. Now what have you idiots done about Hardcase and Echo being stuck in the vent?”
“Oh, absolutely nothing, sir.” Kosi piped up happily. “We were just laughing our shebs off at him while he struggled.”
You have got to be kidding me. Of course it was Kosi of all people who said that confidently. Rex could give him 100 demerits and he still would refuse to let it be a big deal.
“So where are they.” Rex sighed. Kosi pointed over to the far corner where a pair of armoured legs could be seen, kicking around pointlessly.
“Oh, great.” Rex muttered as Fives dissolved in laughter once more. “Banjo, Jesse, grab Hardcase's legs and see if you can manage to pull him out."
Banjo nodded and walked over to the vent instantly, while Jesse, still laughing, had to peel himself off of the floor. Rex rolled his eyes again and looked around. "Wait, where's Kix?"
And of the cadets put up his hand from the top of one of the bunks.
"I'm here, sir." He called, climbing down. Rex stared. He still had that intricate buzzcut, even as a cadet. The Kaminoans probably hated that.
"Kix, shouldn't you be in the medbay?"
Kix shrugged. I felt really lightheaded and couldn't concentrate, so Overflow said he could cover my shift." Overflow was the new medic that came in with Banjo, Clancy, Kosi and Vibe, and already he showed an impressive knack for knowing when troopers were tired.
"Any other cadets, follow me. We're going to the medbay to get this sorted out." Rex yelled over the laughter that had kicked up again.
About 40 cadets awkwardly waddled over, some had attempted to make their oversized blacks fit, but to no avail. Fives was still suffocating on the ground, Kix looked at him worriedly.
"Yo, you good?” One of the cadets asked, poking Fives.
"He won't be if you keep poking him, look,” another cadet said, kicking the suffering ARC.
"Cut it out, Clancy!" Banjo commanded from the vent.
*** *** ***
Rex would never live this down. Ever. The second him and the rest of the cadets filed into the medbay, Overflow was doubled over laughing. After a couple of stern looks and half a cantina of water, he managed to regain some composure.
"What happened?" He asked, completely in awe, as yet another cadet in oversized blacks stumbled into the room.
"I got no clue, mate." Clancy yelled over Rex's head. Overflow laughed, walking over to his batchmate. He shook his head, still chuckling, he said:
"Alright, first things first. We need to get you idiots some actual clothes."
Clancy's smile got even wider as he stared in awe at his older brother.
"You don't mean-" he started but was cut off by Overflow's comm.
"Overflow, why you got, like, 300 cadets in the medbay?" Rex knew that voice anywhere. His youngest batchmate.
"Those 300 cadets are troopers who got....shrunk." Overflow said, haltingly. Rex could practically hear the smile in his voice as he replied:
“Custom hoodies?”
“Custom hoodies.”
Tax cheered and disconnected the call. Clancy was jumping and running around yelling:
“CUSTOM HOODIES!”
Rex rolled his eyes. This was going to take a while.

This fic is FILLED with OC’s, sorry 😃. I’m not gonna update this if it doesn’t get attention, so yeah.
Edit: just some spelling and grammatical errors
DO YOU REALIZE WHAT WE'VE DONE?!
Collectively, as a fandom, with the wonderful variety of talents that we represent?!
We've taken the source material (TCW and TBB in this case) and expanded it into this whole world, fleshing out each character with layers and layers that somehow all go together. We took a few scenes and created a ripple effect of art pieces, fanfics, mood boards, playlists, one-shots, comic strips, and so much more... and it all FITS.
Like, I think of any one of these beloved characters, and they exist not only on the screen but in this whole expanded world where we somehow all got the same ideas about them and ran with it.
It's an incredible thing to be a part of. <3
So here's to you -- artists, writers, musicians, and creatives of all types. Give yourself some credit and reblog to spread the love.

Don’t forget the fact that the dragon fucking swallowed him.
POV: you're 13 years old and just took the creed and your weird uncle din djarin forces you to have a paintball duel with his frog child. the frog beats your ass using magic powers and then you get captured by a fucking dragon for 12 hours.
Tech’s Driving lessons
is it just me or did anyone else find Tech’s faces of absolute TERROR at Omega’s driving fucking hilarious? Then he pulls the “and my ability to stay calm during a crisis” about ten seconds after he was literally just screaming at Omega to pull up.
now he knows how Gregor felt.
AND after they landed, my dude stumbled out of the ship.
I’m still having fun with these SW polls, so
If not MORE popular
Lovely image for you: Clones in a Coruscant tooka cafe.

is it just me, or does Cid look like Godzilla’s middle-aged, alcoholic, divorced step mother?
Do it

OH MY GOODNESS
oh my goodness
I can't believe it
@superiorsniper reblogged my post
Holy guacamole
The one (1) celebrity in the fandom I know, the man, the legend, the Crosshair, I... woah.
I feel... thankful? Honoured? Proud of myself? Never thought I'd come this far? Anyways, I literally sat there with an open mouth for like an hour and just stared and then I couldn't stop smiling and just... omg.
Nah, man. Looks pretty accurate
crosshair has such a ballet dancer body like i know that man can hold an arabesque like you wouldn’t believe
*cough* IPAD KID *aggressive coughing*
Surprise tickle!
We're gonna need another show, one about clones going AWOL and their lives after the war, please and thank you. I want to see clone communes. I want to see clones working mundane jobs. I want to see clones running farms, raising families, in love with the most amazing people they've ever met. I want to see clones with the rebellion. I want to see criminal clones opening casinos on shady backwater planets, stealing speeders, breaking other clones out of prisons. I just want to see more clones.
They won't make that show, of course, but I still want to see it.
And no one ever saw Fives again….
HERE COMES REX WITH THE METAL CHAIR OHHHH
Fives, on a mission with Cody and Rex: Dad!
Rex: Yes?
Anakin: Wait, did Fives just call Rex Dad?
Cody: More importantly, did Rex just respond???
Rex would attempt to show off the backflip he was bragging about and almost break his neck doing so.
GAR talent show! Reblog with what you think everyone would do!! No wrong answers!
And more importantly, what the kriff is this poll even about?
#i can math
Bisexuals, reblog and put in the tags if you can do math; trying to prove that there is correlation because I refuse to believe I’m just stupid.
*wheeze*
Did'ja know Anakin Skywalker was Married?
So Captain Reg finally proposed
*snickering*
Overcoming the fear of heights. (And yeets)
Ouch
Who is your favorite reg?
Commander Cody. Sure hope nothing bad happens to him
Good to know your favourite reg is Cody @superiorsniper

All I can imagine now is Echo climbing like Spiderman on the roof and Cid comes in with a broom and starts whacking him screaming “DARK AND BROODY, GET YOUR SPIDER OFF MY ROOF HE’S SCARING AWAY THE CUSTOMERS”
Headcannon that Echo has upgraded his feet so they can become magnetized, because how else could he crouch like this and not fall?
The SYMBOLISM in this is actually fantastic. The fact that they’re all looking to the right. EXCEPT CROSSHAIR. And the way that Hunter, Tech, Echo and Wrecker are all standing facing the (I don’t know what to call it) camera shows that they are still clinging into the past, but Omega, she’s looking at the sky. To the future. She wants Crosshair to come back, of course she does, but she didn’t know him as long as the rest of the batch knew him. So they are still hoping, praying, that Crosshair will return. But Omega has accepted it.
Also, the way that their bodies are facing. Crosshair is completely facing away from his squad, showing his undying loyalty to the Empire. Hunter’s body is still facing Crosshair, he still wants him to stay, even after everything. He’s having the hardest time adjusting. Echo seems to be walking towards Wrecker and Omega, showing that he’s accepted it, but not fully. Tech is dead center, but his right foot is pointing to the right. And his eyes are looking towards Omega, Wrecker and Echo.
The symbolism is beautiful. The art style is also stunning. I love this, so much.
But, I could be reading to much into this. Again.
I stumbled across the absolutely beautiful art of @snuffysbox and was so inspired by their work specifically this one that I just had to try my hand at it. I had so much fun studying the line work and fun shapes they use in their work, and figuring out how to translate to the batch was really engaging. I honestly love how they came out, and I for one will be using some of the techniques I learned in future stuff.
Thanks to Snuffysbox for sharing your awesome skills with the world!
