PLEASE I NEED THIS AS A FIC PLEASE I BEG YOU SOMEONE OUT THERE PLEASE
Y’all Cody’s armor in Bad Batch is grey. I haven’t really been keeping up the Bad Batch, but Howzer was also a part of the empire, and he didn’t change his armor color. This is all to say grey painted armor in Mandalorian culture symbolizes mourning a lost love.
like am I supposed to take this information and not think Cody’s mourning Obi-wan? Is this not hashtag codywan hashtag confirmed?? Fellas??
if the next red hood run doesn't involve jason and roy having full sex i'm burning down dc headquarters idc
Human Observation Log 53
Several crewmates have witnessed Human Carter thanking the automatic doors and food replicators, as well as apologizing to a table after running into it. When asked why they did such a thing, Human Carter said it was because they’re ‘Canadian’. Human Rielly informed me that Canadians are part of a religious sect that worship inanimate objects. The offerings made to the silicon fern now make much more sense.
Carter’s Journal: entry 89
I accidentally apologized to the table again after running into it. I don’t know why I keep running into it but it’s driving me crazy. Next time I might just kick it out of spite. Several crewmates have started thanking the replicator, which I think is actually very sweet of them. I’m still feeding the plant in the Galley. Jonson thinks it’s weird but I swear that thing is actually an alien. The food disappears every time and I’m not about to be eaten by a carnivorous fern several hundred lightyears away from home. If I wanted that I would have stayed stationed on Galzabab.
Rielly's Journal: Entry 92.
So I have about half the crew converted to Canadianism and the other half mimicking Carter out of respect for his beliefs. I can’t wait to see what happens when Carter finally loses it and breaks the table. I’ve been moving it a little every day. They still think the plastic fern is alive too. I’ve been eating all the offerings and today Jonson tried to explain that it was plastic and not an alien and half the Galley started yelling at them for challenging Carter’s beliefs. Jonson just sat there gobsmacked for a good ten minutes. Another great day in space.
Okay so we have like. An unusually high ratio of royalty/nobility among the Jedi. Dooku, Quinlan, Oppo, you can sort of count Adi or Xanatos or Bruck, etc. Lots of Jedi 'just happen' to come from royal, noble, or incredibly wealthy/powerful families.
So from this I want to posit four things:
If a royal family has a Force-Sensitive child, and hasn't had one in generations, they may think that sending that child to the Jedi would be a little like sending a child to join the Catholic Church in the middle ages: you get to influence the political choices of the highest religious power in Europe the Galactic Republic Government. (That said, Dooku was sent to the Jedi because his parents didn't want him and ||left him to die of exposure, basically, so that if the Jedi arrived too late they'd be picking up a baby corpse|| because they were so disdainful of Force-Sensitive individuals, and Quinlan wasn't sent to the Jedi so much as he escaped to them.)
They are all incredibly wrong about this, and royals raised as Jedi generally do not give any more of a shit about their home planets than any other planet. They care, of course, but they are not attached, because they are Jedi. Xanatos was an exception (afaik his dad sent him to the Jedi because he wanted to do the Catholic thing? and then Xanatos lost his mind). (Don't correct me on this, it's not really important if it was actually intended or not.)
This is achieved by way of Jedi from royal backgrounds having a mandatory high-level political class on how to handle royal court politics and general intrigue. It's not exclusive to the royal kids, but it is a prerequisite for them. They usually end up doing their home planets as case studies for capstone projects, in part because
Sometimes the planets try to call their errant royals back. It might be because the planet is struggling and genuinely running out of heirs/needs a change in leadership (Serreno) and it might be because it was the plan all along, but on the off chance that the Jedi decides they HAVE to leave the Order and take up a throne to keep an entire planet from kind of imploding on itself... that royal Jedi has to be ready to play the game. OR if they don't actually think they're REALLY needed there, they have to be trained on how to go, and be polite/avoid getting trapped/play the game until they can get the hell out of there, while also installing that cousin that nobody thought was strong enough but DOES understand how to run the treasury as the new king.
I'm just imagining this like. Very specific set of classes that are open to any Jedi that's taken the necessary prereqs, but is mandatory for people like Quinlan and Dooku and Oppo.
This was inspired by a post of mine that's getting circulated regarding QuinObi stuff and my thoughts about how Quinlan might have needed preventative training in case of political upheavals trying to pull him back to his home planet. I want to mess with the Politics Classes that Quinlan is taking because he has to and Obi-Wan is taking because Qui-Gon said he should.
Qui-Gon: You should take this class because I'm training you up as a negotiator and diplomat, and you will need it to interact with people when brokering trade deals or peace treaties. Tholme: You are taking this class because your aunt is insane and you have to be ready in case she tries to pull you back into the bullshit.
And as @firebirdeternal offered:
Quinlan: God this is the worst. So boring. At least Obi-Wan is stuck here too. Obi-wan: This is fascinating wow, I can't believe I almost didn't get to attend, Quinlan is so lucky he's automatically in these classes.

thank you
im sorry
I formally apologise for all the unread codywan week fics, I wish I could dive into them but unfortunately my brain has decided to abruptly leave the battlefield husbands behind and focus on a beach divorce instead.
Cherik has my heart now.
seriously, the only consistent exceptions I have seen on this website are odypen, percabeth, and frazel, and getting rid of those would like trying to make patrochilles, solangelo, cherik, wolfstar, or johnlock platonic. it would just be wrong.
and as a straight cis classics major who just finished the iliad for the 100th time? yeah, there is no platonic explanation, those two are a love story to last for millennia and a tragedy to tear your heart just as long.

Of course I’m in.” 19. “The paint’s supposed to go where?” 20. “You need to wake up because I can’t do this without you.” 21. “We’re in the middle of a thunderstorm and you wanna stop and feel the rain?” 22. “I’ve seen the way you look at me when you think I don’t notice.“ 23. “Just once.” 24. “You’re the only one I trust to do this.” 25. “I can’t believe you talked me into this.” 26. “I got you a present.” 27. “I’m pregnant.” 28. “Marry me?” 29. “I thought you were dead.” 30. “It’s not what it looks like…” 31. “You lied to me.” 32. “I think I’m in love with you and I’m terrified.” 33. “Please don’t do this.” 34. “If you keep looking at me like that we won’t make it to a bed.” 35. “You heard me. Take. It. Off.” 36. “I wish I could hate you.” 37. “Wanna dance?” 38. “You fainted…straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’t have to go to such extremes.” 39. “Hey! I was gonna eat that!” 40. “Have I entered an alternate universe or did you really just crack a smile for me?” 41. “You did all of this for me?” 42. “I swear it was an accident.” 43. “YOU DID WHAT?!” 44. “If you die, I’m gonna kill you.” 45. “Tell me a secret.” 46. “Hey, have you seen the..?

So now I need a fic where Erik says Angel and means it. He then gently pulls Charles closer and kisses him on the forehead, saying angel again.
He embraces him, tucks Charles' face into his shoulder, as though to keep him safe and hidden and protected from the world and everything in it.
He buries his face in Charles' hair while murmuring Charles' name and endearments (angel, liebling, that sort of thing).
It fades out on the two of them wrapped around each other, crying softly, holding onto each other for dear life, swaying ever so slightly, just being there together, because they're both so tired and hurting and alone and they are each the only thing that can make the other whole.
Logan is just in the background blue-screening, because this honestly just explains so, so many things.
Honestly one of the cruelest things Erik did to Charles was pause after saying Angel. You can see the anger fade immediately, he thinks for a moment that Erik is meeting him with love and gentleness. It anchors him, he stops to really look at him. Eyes to lips. For a moment he thought Erik called him Angel.
And he’s throughly confused why Erik is listing names after. I’m going to be sick.
It pains me that only 14,000 people can honestly reblog this
