WAAAA YOU NOTICED

Aaaahh thank you that brings me joy! Oh and NOPE they wouldn't 😭

Reference under the cut

This was dropped in my other blog and I'm feeling like answering it now. Thanks for dropping the kind ask ner vod! @w31rd0-art1st 💛💛

Here are some of my own favorite x readers! Obviously I've got a lot more (that Boss fic and the latest awkward Rex fic) but these are the first three:

Staying Alive For You (NSFW Sev x Reader) — my very first Delta x reader! A really really really REALLY really soft Sev bcs I tend to soften my clorns (you're his riduur).

But I Still Love You (Bacara x Reader) — another episode of me softening my clorns. Rough Bacara is out, angsty Bacara is in. My fave bcs it's the best angst I've ever written 🥲

*ferally* HE ISSSS

Whoever he's paired with he's THAT soft daydream boyfriend person.

What did they do to MY BOY. It's not that I'm against "that's him under the effects of the chip" thingy but the writers LITERALLY didn't have anyone else, ANYONE ELSE, to put in that situation?? The idea of a commando being the right hand man of the villain of the year is cool okay (not entirely against that) but using Scorch? Downgrading literally canonically the member of the best commando squad of the GAR during the clone wars? (I also know by angst quality that it hurt and damn it hurt)

It's. It's not okay for us repcomm fans that's why we're annoyed about it. We treat Legends (including repcomm novels) as equal source material like Canon and we get that if anyone considers us as annoying. I'll say again that our complaints are aimed toward the show writers because come on. Hilo (that clone commando standing behind Wolffe in that episode) popped out of nowhere and he could be in Scorch's place instead.

And I just don't like the idea of clone commandos (thAT MANY, as seen in the show) being downgraded as... bodyguards? Vode, these guys are literally specops! Marines! SEALs even! They're called commandos for a reason. They specialize in anything above what regular troopers do and that's why they're better! They should've been the ones that Hemlock sent when he ordered to hunt Omega and Crosshair through Tantiss woods! Even off-world! Because those two were high value prisoners!

Even for Clone Force 99, I'm pretty sure they received standard commando training bcs 1) they wear katarn class armor and 2) they're part of the specops brigade and move independently and 3) that's the whole point of their existence. They're basically commandos but not RC's, they're CT's. God I wish they were RC's that'd make everything a bit better (make sense).

AND OH SCORCH DIED. BY TAKING THREE SHOTS TO THE CHEST. Unbelievable. They should've put that armor shielding systems like in the repcomm game, eh?

I like Legends!Scorch and TBB!Scorch in their own characters. I love them, but I don't like how TBB!Scorch was treated as fanservice, written and utilized as a villain's goon that it just destroyed the whole purpose of being a commando. And the result? Enjoyers were unable to look at commandos as experts and specialists as they were.
