he wrote this post on space tumblr because he could feel the ghost of sifo-dyas breathing down his neck.
most of the players on the server are a mix of more than two things or were changed in some way, so their code is all sorts of messed up. This is a massive headache for Xisuma.
He checks their code at least twice a season to make sure it isn't deteriorating or getting tangled.
Doc is big in the extreme code modding community (think split tongues, cheek gauges and eye ball tattoos in our world). He has gotten a lot of the hermits to try it out.
Tango likes to change the color of his fire but that's how far he is willing to go.
Impulse tryed a complete species change in season 9, it was fun but he prefers his original form.
Scar likes to change the type of magic he can use. He also likes to change the type of wings he has but only for a week before he goes back to his vex ones.
Mumbo tryed it in season 8 but didn't get anyone's help doing it so he messed up and that's why he turned into a potato. Grians soul shouldn't of fixed it but it did. Doc was very confused how it worked when he found out what happened. He offered to help mumbo next time he wanted to mod but mumbo decided to never try code modding again after all of it was fixed.
code modding is looked down upon but they (scar, doc, tango, impulse) find it fun, they help each other when they want to try a new mod.
cub was an allay then turned into a vex then infected by sculk then turned warden. So his code is very out of order. Reading it is like a choose your own adventure story.
Grian was a player, then turned avian, then forcefully changed into a watcher. You can't really read his code the lines change, disappear and reappear. Some are backwards or in Nyctography. Looking at it causes eye strain and migraines. Xisuma has to take a day off after checking it over. Also the O's and 0's are eyes. And they follow the person looking at the code.
Joehills doesn't have code?
Keralis's code looks normal but it's wrong. It shouldn't work but it does.
Bdubs doesn't have letters or numbers in his code It's more of a flip book animation, if you scroll fast enough a little stick figure starts dancing.
Etho's is in binary
Cleo is actually the player with the easiest code to look over. The rotting corpse makes sculptures has the normalest code.

Mace: *holding Padawan Kenobi by the collar of his robes and coming into the mess hall* Attention everyone! Someone else needs to take custody of this child before I throw him off the highest tower!
Mess Hall: *quietly, contemplating whoās gonna speak up and risk ending up with custody of the feral one*
Victim 1: *raises hand* Um, where are his usual guardians?
Mace: *batting away Obi-Wanās lil gremlin hands and squeezing his neck like a scruff* Master Yoda is claiming he has a contagious infection and Master Jinn is passed out in the healing halls with a broken nose that had to be healed with a minor surgery.
Victim 2: Oh? Why do you want to get rid of him anyways? I thought Kenobi was a sweetheart?
Mace: He is giving me constant shatter point migraines. This started when he was about three years old and has persisted since the day I met him.
Victim 2: Fair. Consider? Giving him to whoever broke Master Jinnās nose??
Mace: Great idea, not an option, he was a flamboyant pirate named Ohnaka who give Obi-Wan spice laced candy.
Obi-Wan: I CAN SEE THE FATE OF THE UNIVERSE AND IT IS HUNGRY AND SO AM I
Mace: I am afraid of him. Someone please take this child.
Quinlan: idk bruh force agrees with the kid???? Maybe heās on that good shit?
Mace: You. Iāve decided heās yours now for that horrible sentence and agreeing with the hungry void. Take this child and never speak to me again. He bites and sometimes licks. Be careful and donāt point at him. *bodily drops the 16yo into the lap of a 19yo Quinlan*
Quinlan: *immediately petting through Obi-Wanās hair till heās purring and pushing into Quinlanās hands* Was Master Windu being mean to you, Obes?
Obi-Wan: *deep purrs and happy noises* He wouldnāt let me go back to the pirates.
Quinlan: lol, why do you wanna go back to Ohnaka?
Obi-Wan: Made a friend. He was a Mandalorian. Hondoās gonna ransom him back to his dad-leader. I wanna hang out with him more.
Quinlan: lol that sounds like way more fun than what I had planned. Letās go steal a ship. *pulls Obi-Wan up and letās him out of the mess hall*
Victim 2: ā¦should we be letting him do that?
Victim 1: Youāre from a side temple, so you wouldnāt get it, but if Windu is leaving Kenobi with Vos, heās giving them free reign for chaos, he just doesnāt wanna be the one to babysit Kenobi while he follows his fucked up side quests.
Someone Smart Enough To Stay Out Of That Mess: Theyāll be back in a week with three new strays.
Mace Windu: *pointing at Obi-Wan Kenobi* He is a bastard; he is an infant; heās just a little orange lad; I would kill any 17 of you just to keep him safe; I would sacrifice him to a volcano god if a society told me they used to believe in volcano sacrifice just because I wanna experience a historical tradition; I would /torture/ Master Yoda for literally any reason related or unrelated to this rant; I wouldnāt trust this little bastard with a potted plant, not because he would kill it, but because it would be fluent in seven languages and planning a revolution within a month; he has been giving me shatterpoint migraines since he was an infant, even tho I didnāt know him as an infant Iām SURE any migraines from that time originated from his goblin brain; I would sell him for a poorly made ham sandwich; I would kill any civilian whatsoever to keep him safe-
Yoda: Woke up I did, look to my messages, said Master Windu: āfuck Kenobi, fuck Skywalker, fuck Yodaā said I did, what he say fuck me for?!?
Obi-Wan: Oh my god, how old is your baby?
Mace: *pushing a pet stroller with Yoda napping against the mesh, absolutely blissed out on post-surgical meds on his way to drop the troll off with Plo who agreed to watch him while heās recovering* Hella.
Obi-Wan: *holding up initiate Grogu* Thatās gonna be you one day.
Grogu: :)????
Obi-Wan: *having a panic attack stuck in the hold of a telepathic tree they arenāt sure is evil or not* I mean if it canāt eat me maybe itās gonna infect my brain and turn me into a SITH-
Qui-Gon: Obi, Padawan mine, you need to stop thinking about it.
Obi-Wan: How am I supposed to stop thinking about a tree that feels things! Normally I can run from your Devil plants but this one isnāt even reacting to you!
Mace: Obi-Wan, you need to think of something else. Your own emotional panic is likely rebounding off it and causing a feedback loop. Whatās the most annoying subject in your schooling right now?
Obi-Wan: ā¦probably maths. They keep speaking numbers at me.
Mace: Exactly. You donāt like the numbers and the tree doesnāt like your panic. What you should be thinking about, is that eighteen page essay on the history of circumcision noted in five different species that you turned into your poetry master.
Obi-Wan: Hey, I got an A on that!
Mace: I know. She thought it was a study of the suffering of sentients by their own hand in a modern art format.
Obi-Wan: Maybe it was!
Qui-Gon: Is that why your biology master said you turned in a very cursed prophetic poem about a spider? That he had to ask the mind healers to look at?
Obi-Wan: Um. Sure. That must have been the reason.
Mace: Exactly. There is a lot more of interest out here to talk about-
Obi-Wan: I think the tree is possessed by a force ghost of a Sith who didnāt want to die a Sith but their master trapped them in the tree as a punishment.
Mace: ā¦
Qui-Gon: ā¦huhā¦
Mace: Is this normal for him?
Qui-Gon: Yeah you just mentioned the eighteen page paper on circumcision you know damn well this is right up his mental abilities.
Star Wars AU where the council time travels back to when Obi-Wan was still an itty-bitty baby initiate. Including, you know. Council Member Obi-Wan Kenobi. So theyāre all in their younger bodies and talking with the current non-time traveling members of the council, and theyāre like āhold on, we got one more coming inā
And in walks in like. Nine year old Initiate Obi-Wan, all chubby-cheeked with fluffy bright red hair, and giant blue eyes.
Just. Their faces, okay?
Now keep in mind I want the council to always be Up To Shenanigans. Iām talking like 2015 Avengers tower found family era fics okay, theyāre one big family and Obi-Wan is now super officially The Baby and literally nothing he does will ever stop that again. And despite everything, every single council member is, at heart, incredibly petty in that special Jedi family way and are so ready to not be dealing with a war Right This Very Minute.
What I keep picturing is Baby-Wan wiggling his way into a chair, situating himself Very Regally, then clasping his hands in classic Negotiator style, then speaking up with the Most Serious Of Tiny Baby Voices as the main spokesperson on the Council Of Petty Time Travelers
I just want to see people not in the know
I want Jedi of all ages witnessing Jedi masters, councilmen and women, long lived and wisest of the Jedi, coming to the crĆØche to visit tiny lil Baby-Wan about his opinions on current events and how they should handle this treaty and also when are you free I want to test my soresu
I just think itād be funny
The truth of it all is that BabyWan would play it the fuck up. Master Plo is getting annoyed? Crawl into that manās lap and ask about old man things. Xanatos is still a bother? We need to send Master Jinn to the Jedi spa and retreat and maybe send Xanatos a care package asking how he is maybe thatāll make him calm down?? Yoda is being bothersome? Sit on him. Heās not heavy enough to suffocate him rn and Yoda will be the scandal of the temple if someone sees him force throw a child.
Tiny baby speaker of the council Obi-Wan turning on a dignified Jedi Master with big crocodile tears and pulling on the angst that is his life to make it feel real and ask them why they arenāt getting along with others like the ghost of Christmas future warning you of your doom but with baby tears instead of showing you your actual future. Itās rude, really.
Shaak Ti just carries him around sometimes on her hip. Obi-Wan feels bad cause he knows she misses the clones (who obviously are probably gonna follow them on accident somehow without even needing to give Prime any angst.) and he lets her use him as a cuddle buddy at those times.
Plo and Shaak are in a perpetual custody battle over him. When they have to choose an actual master for Obi-Wan his options are limited to those In The Know, and he lets them argue over it for a solid hour, all giving arguments about who it should be and why. Before piping up that itās gotta be Mace cause Mace is the only one who gets shatterpoint migraines when Obi-Wan has a real vision so they use it as a vision compass and now Mace 100000% regrets saying anything how dare this boy play him like that come over here heās wrapping you in a blanket and storing you in a cupboard-

4 year old Obi-Wan: The anxiety you feel in the silences of the universe; the space between sentences while you wait for a reply; the waiting for whatās to come, and who will deliver the blow, it is not misplaced. Only mistimed.
Knight Windu, who just wants to get to his quarters and sleep off his last mission: ā¦uh-huhā¦
Creche Master: Obi-Wan, why did you bite Initiate Vos?
Obi-Wan: Have you met him?
Creche Master: ā¦yeah, that checks out. Youāll need some extra meditation time, I think.
Obi-Wan: *muttering* worth it
Qui-Gon: *on his first night with Padawan Kenobi after his older padawans convinced him he needed a new baby so heād bother someone else* Alright, now I think itās bedtime. I know itās a bit earlier than usual but you have a whole new set of classes to switch to tomorrow so we have to get up early.
Obi-Wan: *is only 11, is fine with more sleep* Okay, Master! *wanders off to get in his pajamas*
Qui-Gon: *making a pot of sleepy tea*
Obi-Wan: *comes back in jammies looking confused*
Qui-Gon: Whatās wrong, Padawan?
Obi-Wan: I canāt find my sleepy cocoon.
Qui-Gon: ā¦your sleeping bag? Oh, I assumed you used that for camping in the room of a thousand fountains, do you usually sleep in that at night?
Obi-Wan: ??? No? No I use it sometimes but youāre right, thatās for camping nights. I mean my sleepy cocoon?
Qui-Gon: ā¦what is a sleep cocoon?
Obi-Wan: Itās⦠itās a stretchy fabric that goes over you?
Qui-Gon: ā¦gimme a second, I donāt think I saw anything like that in your bags.
One call to the creche later
Creche Master: Is something wrong with Padawan Kenobi settling in?
Qui-Gon: Um, heās missing something that I donāt think Iāve seen. He called it his sleepy cocoon?
Creche Master: Oh! That went into the laundry this morning, it probably got delivered back to us, Iāll have it sent right away.
Qui-Gon: Um, I need to ask⦠what is a sleepy cocoon?
Creche Master: *snort* Itās an anti-grav sleeping tube. Itās a compression material so he doesnāt feel it when he starts to float in his sleep. Heās too close to the cosmic force to control it, so they give him the compression tube.
Qui-Gon: ā¦youāre saying he disobeys gravity in his sleep, so the tube makes him stop realizing it?
Creche Master: Yeah, itās pretty important, actually. It keeps his joints in place. No cricks in his neck or dead arms if they start to fall.
Qui-Gon: Amazing. A straight jacket for his cosmic force abilities. I adore it. Please send it here. He can get out of it on his own, right?
Creche Master: Oh course, itās just pressure, not actually being tied up.
Qui-Gon: Delightful. Iāll get him extras for off planet missions.
Imagine you're so small and cold and scared but there's smaller ones that are smaller and colder and more scared. I'm going to cry
Obi-Wan: *sits up in his bed with his eyes still closed and looking right at Qui-Gon whoās trying to find his belt that the child keeps stealing*
Qui-Gon: heeeeey, buddy-
Obi-Wan: -you have a spider in your beard. *lays back down and goes back to sleep*
One hour later
Qui-Gon: -and thatās why I was late to this meeting!
Mace: ā¦did you find the spider?
Qui-Gon: *actual fear on his face* no š I can feel itās presence in the force I think š
Yoda: Love that padawan, yes I do.
Dooku: *giggling* his birthday is coming up soon, we should get him his favorite tea.
Yoda: Yes :)

Qui-Gon: *half dead from a concussion but unwilling to stop because he has baby-wan to protect* -just give up, Mandāalor! I will not let you hurt my Padawan!
Obi-Wan: *watching on the sidelines between Jango and Arla, eating bangcorn* Wow. He sure can move while half dead. I hope Iām at least that good one day.
Jaster: *annoyed and sweaty and absolutely at his wits end with this one* STOP FIGHTING!!! I donāt wanna kill you and I have Jetii questions to ask! Just go down and Iāll call in the medics!
Qui-Gon: *getting dizzy* never!
@worm-strung-string
Jaster may not have access to the archives, so he will make his own by taking from direct sources.
Its unfortunate for him he chose the jedi who YEARNS for all the chances to use vague language, lowkey gaslight and only lie from a certain point of view.
Iām literally picturing him absolutely yapping without having said anything of substance for over an hour from a single question while Obi-Wan just occasionally interjects āMaster Nu said thatās a lieā or āGrandmaster said if you donāt stop speaking to politicians heās gonna put you in the dementia ward when they finally send Grandmaster Yoda thereā and shit like that til Jaster is begging to send Qui-Gon back to the temple.
Obi is being politely asked to stay tho (they forcibly adopted him on day 0.5).
Dooku shows up to rescue them and ends up making friends with Jaster. Horror of horrors. Between the two of them, Obi-Wan is becoming a fully spoiled brat (he already was lmao).
#parents? neither jedi nor clones have ever heard of that#romance? neither jedi nor clones have ever heard of that#mentors? teachers? trainers? now we're talking
said this in the tags of another post but i'm still thinking about it. because i think this is what bothers me about a lot of clone and jedi fanon, like plo koon as wolffe's dad or cody and obi-wan as an old married couple. neither the jedi nor the clones have a culture where those roles are A Thing. there is no "this person is like a parent to me," or "i love them so much wish we could be together always and forever."
like, anakin marrying padme was a fuck up. that was bad. he should not have done that. that was breaking the rules in a way that led directly to his fall. not because he loved padme but because he wanted to be with her and only her forever and ever as long as they both shall live. very few jedi are going to approach romance/sex the way anakin does and that is good. and then the whole thing where a lot of the fandom can't... conceptualize not having a parent and that lack being a non-issue, so the clones have daddy issues regarding jango and all the mentorship type relationships the jedi cultivate are re-framed as parents with kids. and then plo koon gets to be wolffe's dad. because for some inexplicable reason this is a kind of relationship both of them would understand and also want.
YES THIS!
lol so a month or so ago I went on a... this-adhd-med-I'm-trying-is-actually-making-it-worse?!!-induced fixation rabbit hole and possibly wrote out like 30+ pages about clone culture/worldbuilding. During which I realized the clones would probably have NO sense of amatonormativity, like at all
Why would they be ingrained with the same standards and expectations about relationships/marriage/nuclear family etc that we are familiar with when their exposure is primarily limited to:
1. Jango who requested a clone of himself to raise as a single father
2. Kaminoan scientists who reproduce via cloning
3. Bounty hunter trainers who agreed to cut contact with their families and live on a secret isolated planet for 10+ years
4. Jedi generals who are separated from their birth families, raised communally, and swear off marriage
And that's not even to mention their indoctrination
Chuchi: And what happens when you're too old to fight? Clone: That's not a scenario we're trained to think about
Like the aspects of amatonormativity and compulsory sexuality/romance that come from societal pressures and an idea of "purpose." The belief that "love/marriage and having a family is the most important and fulfilling path" or whatever. That is not something that would show up in an environment like Kamino, which depends on and enforces an entirely unrelated set of expectations. The clones are trained and conditioned to value their singular purpose as expendable soldiers. They'd probably be specifically discouraged from thinking about those things, to the Kaminoans it would just be a distraction, most of them won't live long enough for it to be relevant anyway. (Not to say that none of them would ever end up wanting those things, just I think generally operating from a baseline of disinterest/low-priority)
I think this is part of why idk how I feel about what little of Rep Comm I've read. Like the whole Kal'buir thing, I get it for the nulls whomst he literally adopted but for the others? There's a difference between a father and a trainer, even if he's a nice one. And I guess it just feels like "fixing deficits" rather than letting clone culture be different than ours (same with like transplanting them into Mando culture/heritage, giving them all girlfriends, and curing the accelerated aging)
Also recently found out that the Jedi lineage thing (like the terms "grandmaster/grand-padawan" or "padawan-brother) is fanon, not from the Eu. And I def think those relationships could be important to the Jedi but it's funny? how fandom seems to only conceptualize it as parent-child lol? I guess Anakin does say Obi-wan is "like a father to me" but again, that's Anakin, and makes sense for him. Obi-wan doesn't really acknowledge that (to him Anakin is a brother) and we shouldn't assume all Jedi think of it in that way. There are so many ways to care about and relate to people that don't just fall into those roles.
literally this. i fully believe some clones would want to get married and have kids or find parental figures and stuff like that, but that desire is not The Normality They Have Been Denied. it's a life that some people want that the clones discover is a possibility during/after the war, and to some it appeals and to some it doesn't, but they don't have a context in which that kinda nuclear family life is Normal or Expected.
also pulling this out of the tags because once again, shaking your hand:
#our norms are not their norms#and it's so much more interesting to explore theirs instead of pigeonholing them to conform to ours#(esp when our norms are dumb too anyway)#so yeah more aroallo jedi please!
i think alloaro is/should be the "expected norm" for the jedi honestly.
#I also just love the idea of clones raising younger clones/tubies not as their children but as little brothers -- #like numa was calling waxer and boil ābrotherā the whole episode yall#and omega always refers to the batch only as her brothers not dads
my hc for clone family structure is based entirely around sibling relationships and military hierarchy. all clones are brothers but big brother = person in charge of keeping you alive = commanding officer. nothing to do with age, a designation based solely on rank and/or the nature of the relationship. to be a big brother means to hold responsibility for someone, either by the choice of making a friend and deciding to take that role in their life or by getting promoted into a position of authority. cody is the big brother of the entire 3rd system army, but also be decided to be a mentor/big brother to rex in particular because he liked rex and wanted to teach him some things to help him survive. (in this way i think they could be an interesting parallel to the jedi, in that mentor type relationships are the most important/form the basis for how people become connected and take care of each other.)
i love the idea of that sibling/mentor based family structure carrying over after the war. cadet squads are fostered by volunteering older brothers. wartime batches/squads/platoons chose to live together and run their households together. the wartime officers are the ones who have the responsibility of helping their troops adjust to civilian life. as clones make friends and take lovers from other communities/cultures yeah of course some of them are going to want the new lifestyles they are being exposed to. but also! regular every day citizens becoming part of clone communities should be a thing! some rando starts dating a clone and it's getting serious and instead of the two of them moving into their own apartment, the new person moves into the house their boyfriend shares with his old squad, and helps out with the cadets the squad is fostering. maybe the couple have some bio kids for the hell of it, and those kids get raised communally with the cadets. i think clone culture changes a lot after the war but i think some fundamentals of "this is how family works" should stay the same instead of being erased to fit our own cultural norms.
