DO NOT SEND ASKS OF THIS TO THE OP BECAUSE I WILL NOT DO THEM

SEND ME A CHARACTER + EMOTION/COLOR PALETTE (OR BOTH)

The info doc is here! Find out everything you need to know about the zine including the schedule, theme, and application guidelines.

The search function on my blog isn’t working for me at the moment (of course 🙄) so I can’t find it either, but I made a new one for you. I hope it’s what you’re looking for!

there are a bunch of free monitor tests, but here’s an easy one you can use. the passmark and eizo tests are also pretty good, though passmark doesn’t work in your browser. be warned that some tests may cause eye strain.

Trying to come up with actual language vocab seems a bit counterintuitive considering my own headcanon that it’s a constantly changing constructed language that varies literally all of the time, so here’s a list of colloqiualisms or “slangs” (although I debate that term) that I came up with because I don’t want to write my paper:

changing boots - to defect/become a traitor and specifically join the separatists. you’d say “Slick changed boots”, as an example.

threw (their) boots or took his boots off - depending on the context, either deserted or dead

sip - to drink (alcohol), i.e. “do you want to get a sip?” (do you want to go to a bar/go drinking) or “he sipped” (he’s drunk)

jumpers or bouncers - AT-RT pilots

spinning on (their) bucket or bucket spinning -  (along with other variations) aka Battle Giggles, when anyone is so worn down from fatigue and spent adrenaline that they laugh uncontrollably hard at something that isn’t that funny. Everyone goes through it at some point.

“It’s soup” - a play on “It’s SOP (Standard Operating Procedure)”

broke/flipped (their) codpiece/belt - it’s a bit on the nose but refers to sexual relations, i.e. “he flipped his belt under the bar at 79s” (the broke here isn’t understood to be violent/painful but more like being so hasty/excited that one breaks it)

Hand wavers - Jedi

Buzzed - when a laser flies really close to ones head, i.e. “I got buzzed once the larty touched down”

Clipped or chipped - specifically when a laser nearly hits ones shoulder plate

Floating - on a star destroyer if not any other type of space-capable ship, i.e. “are you on coruscant?” / “No we’re floating.” It’s vague enough so as not to give details of location

Pants - another word for deck officers

Not a vocab term, but there’s an assumption/stereotype that newer clones are “higher maintenance” because they’ve been exposed to many more aspects of civilian life and so develop things like picky eating (by clones standards) and the Shinies get ribbed by the vets a lot for it

Haunted - not used often, but used when describing specifically a long-time vet who’s noticeably changed from the typical outgoing shiny to a very quiet, almost barely present person (it’s depression that refused to be named).

vat cleaner - another derogatory term for shinies, but mostly also refers to cadets on Kamino

“It was an honor to serve with you, Rex…it was an honor to fight with you for something we chose to believe in”
