#leo's stuff

like... I just hate all the implications behind it. The implications that the clones, the very same clones who fight tooth and nail for their siblings, who don't leave their family behind, who accept and love each other unconditionally, WOULD ALIENATE THE BAD BATCH BECAUSE THEY'RE DEFECTIVE?

EXCUSE ME?

Throughout TCW, all we've ever seen in terms of how the clones act with each other is a habitual closeness. They call each other brother (and Sister, my beloved <3). They're a family, and not just because of their shared genes.

They fight together. They share meals together. They give each other names and nicknames from those names.

We saw Rex absolutely disgusted at the thought of Slick betraying his siblings. We saw Domino Squad divided, and we saw them thrive when they worked as brothers. Hevy giving 99 his medal.

We saw the Rishi eel on Fives's helmet, the "For Hevy" decals on Echo's armour. We saw the Wolfpack, and how their armour colours changed to grey in memory of their fallen siblings.

We saw Kix on Umbara, adamant about not leaving his family behind. We saw the 212th and 501st in shock and horror at what Krell had done, and we saw them working together to take him down.

We saw Fives, desperate to offer Tup what comfort he could, and to protect him. We watched him die trying to help his family, something that would later save Rex.

We watched Jesse and Kix immediately jump to Rex's defense when the SAD BATCH undermine his authority, something that for some reason was completely disregarded??

My point is that these clones are a family. It doesn't matter whether they've never even met each other before. Every clone knows that they will defend each other to the death and love each other unconditionally, BECAUSE THEY ARE A FAMILY.

And you're trying to tell me that these clones, these siblings, alienated TBB? That Echo wouldn't be welcome with the 501st anymore... because he's disabled?! The ableism oh my god

I'm seeing my bff tomorrow and we are reading book 3 together <3 we've made a pact not to read a single word without each other skdjdjfkd I've avoided spoilers thus far so we're going into it blind apart from the public demo before release teehee

She's an A romancer and I'm an M romancer AKSJFKS I get the feeling we're gonna go THROUGH it

In my devised piece I actually got to smash two mirrors on stage HEHE full on having a breakdown smash smash kinda thing, it was VERY fun and mildly embarrassing bc in the exam I hit the frame 😭💀 but I went ham on the glass afterwards

We did safety tests and everything but we were also silly 17/18 year olds so when it came to testing I hit the mirror with so much force I broke through the backboard and bruised my friend's knee bc he was keeping it steady 😭 I felt so bad
