Grackle Draws

may the 4th be with you! in honor of today and our recent gift of a clone known as trick, i figured a proper face card is in order as a celebration

now,,, u mean to tell me,, we have a new clone that loves chance, defected WITH his captain after injury during battle(the hurt/comfort is speaking to me like venom), AND is in a company with a BADASS mandalorian, AN UMBARAN, and a padawan///?? this is like every oc dream i’ve had come true now officially part of the star wars universe IN THE FORM OF A TURN BASED RPG?/? HUUIUHH like is this real am i dreaming somebody punch me in the throat 🎀

i wanted to draw him with beautiful mid length hair but i don’t think we will be that blessed so here’s a relatively standard version of mr. trick for now. the blast marks on his helmet and upper chest plate lead me to believe that he either is blind in his right eye or has a cybernetic eyeball like wolffe but for now im sticking with eye injury until i’ve had more time to develop a better headcanon. i also wonder who will be voicing him?? will we have a temuera return?? dbb?? somebody new? who knows! (someone probably does i just live under a rock in the outskirts of the fandom with a pair of binoculars)

anyways enjoy my silly little head canon and have a lovely day 🧡

13 17/5~

Oooh, these two are fun

13 - A kiss on the chest

-

Fives hated Kamino. Hated the stark white walls, the relentless storms, the constant pressure of the longnecks' attention. Hated how trapped he felt, even after his deployment, after ARC training, after every reassurance that he would never be stuck here again.

Fives hated Kamino.

But he loved to visit.

"Heard the 501st has had a nice string of successes lately." Alpha-17's voice, rumbling and quiet, sent a shiver down Fives' spine. "Rex must be proud."

Fives nodded, doing his best not to squirm. Not that he would be able to squirm much, not with 17's hands firm around his waist, holding him in place.

"How is Rex, by the way? I haven't had the chance to speak to him yet."

"He's- He's good." Even through his blacks, Fives swore 17's hands were as hot as brands. It was making it really hard to concentrate. "Been stressed recently. But Echo's helpin' him with that."

"Oh yeah?" 17's smile widened into a toothy smirk. "Been helping Rex a lot lately, has he?"

"Mhm." Fives nodded, eyes fluttering as 17 leaned forward to nose at his jaw.

"And what about you? You been helping Rex too?"

"N-not like Echo. I, ah-" His breath hitched as 17's hands slid up and down his sides. "-Help Jesse keep- keep an eye on things while Echo gets Rex to rela- relax."

17 hummed. "Missing out on the fun, huh? Not like you."

"'M havin' fun right now, aren't I?"

"Oh, verd'ika," 17 crooned, pressing a kiss right below Fives' collarbone, "the fun hasn't even started yet."

Yeah. Fives really, really loved visiting Kamino.

Good morning, you may indeed! I had a lot of fun writing this one ;3

32 - A kiss while someone watches

Fives can’t get his fucking head on straight.

Your head has never been on straight, Fives, the little voice that sounds like Echo’s teases. Fives mentally flips him the bird. He’s having a difficult fucking time right now, alright? His brain is swimming in whatever drugs they’ve put in him, his head is still pounding from fucking brain surgery, and all of Kamino is on high alert looking for him. This is the only time he’s regretted tattooing his number on his forehead. It’s easy to blend into a crowd of people who share your face until you have a marker to set you apart.

He sends a silent apology to the Shiny he’s shoved into a storage closet and slips out, clad in stolen armor. It’s lighter than what he’s used to, missing all of the extra weight that comes with his ARC kit, but it’ll help him blend in, and right now that’s the most important thing.

There’s chips in their heads. Godsdamned mind control chips in every single vod’s head. Gods, Fives feels like he’s gonna be sick.

Keep it together, Fives. You’re a fucking ARC Trooper, act like it.

Easier said — or thought — than done.

Fives forces himself to take slow, even breaths as he marches down the hall in perfect form. It’s difficult, with his foggy head and racing heart, but he manages. Squads of troopers run past him, unaware how close their prey is, and Fives prays to the little gods that they stay unaware.

“Everyone’s looking for you, verd’ika.”

Fives freezes. Shit. Shit shit shit shit shit. Alpha-17.

He should have kept walking. Gods, why did he freeze? He could have played it off, now he’s given himself away-

“The hell did you do to cause such a scurry, huh?”

“Please,” is the first word out of Fives’ mouth. “I’ve- I’ve found something, something important, they’re gonna reconn me, sir, please, you can’t-”

“Easy, verd’ika.” Alpha-17’s large hand cups the back of Fives’ neck. On instinct, the tension bleeds away from Fives’ limbs, leaving him pliant in 17’s hold. He looks up, terrified, and meets eyes that look softer than Fives has ever seen before. “C’mon, let’s get you outta here.”

17’s hand leaves his neck and Fives is left scampering after him as he stalks off. He feels like he’s back in ARC training, trailing behind 17, desperate to prove himself worthy of Rex’s recommendation. “Off-planet? You- You’re helping me?”

17 looks back at him, eyebrow raised. “Did you forget I trained you? You’re a smart one, verd’ika, even if you don’t look it. I knew something was up when they wouldn’t tell us why we were after you. But you’re a long talker, and we don’t have time for that, so I’m just gonna have to trust that you’ve got a good reason.”

“I do!” Fives assures, struggling to keep up with 17’s long strides. Normally, he wouldn’t have any issue, but the drugs have made his thoughts slow and his limbs heavy. Alpha-17 puts a hand to the small of his back and pushes him faster. Fives stumbles, but manages to keep up without falling. He realizes the way they’re positioned is deliberate- Fives is between 17 and the wall, and 17’s bulk hides most of him from view. Not to mention that Fives looks a lot less suspicious walking with him than by himself.

“Here.” 17 drags him into what Fives recognizes as a private hangar. He immediately clocks someone else — General Ti — and straightens, hoping beyond hope that she won’t recognize him, already knowing she does.

“Good, you’re here. I’ve prepared the ship for takeoff, you need to leave right now.”

“Wh- What?”

Alpha-17 rolls his eyes and nudges him forward. “She’s helping, too. Got one of those weird Force feelings or whatever.”

General Ti nods, offering a soft smile. “Yes. The Force wants you to escape. So you must leave, now. 17 and I will stall them.”

“Oh.” Fives swallows around the ball in his throat. “Thank you.”

Alpha-17 snorts. “No thanking, verd’ika.”

He takes Fives’ helmet and lifts it away. Fives doesn’t get a chance to wonder why he’s done that, because suddenly there’s a large hand cupping the back of his neck and lips pressed to his. He’s still trying to process that when 17 pulls away, smirking, and squeezes his neck. “Go on, get going. Don’t get yourself killed, and there might be more of that later, verd’ika.”

“Y-Yes sir,” Fives stammers out, reeling. He’s got so much emotional whiplash right now, and no idea how to handle it.

“Fives.” Oh shit, right, General Ti is still here. And saw that. Shit. “There is enough supplies to last you a week on the ship. Go, now, and hurry.”

“Right.” Fives nods quickly, and with one last look at Alpha-17, scrambles aboard the ship and prepares to take off.
