They’re having a very serious conversation about Cody’s behaviour (being mean to uncle Ben)

oohhhh brain juice strong today

here’s the plot bunny that just jumped out at me:

-Cody is a purge trooper, serving under Darth Vader

-Vader somehow gets ahold of baby Luke, and assigns Cody to Luke personally, with orders to protect Luke at any cost.

-Cody is a good soldier

-Cody follows orders

-Cody decides that Luke’s current situation is, in fact, not safe. Partially because the Emperor clearly intends to train Luke as an apprentice and Cody can see what that did to the last guy (there is no way Cody doesn’t know who Vader is), partially because children need things like “friends” and “positive role models” and “houseplants”, partially because of Vader himself (Cody’s like “wow this possessive obsessive murderous asshole’s gonna give this kid so many daddy issues”)

-Cody yeets himself and Luke the hell out of there

-Cody proceeds to find the safest, most supportive, most house-plant-y place he can to raise Luke, because Cody takes his orders seriously

-Cody gets really offended whenever anyone suggests that he deserted or is on the run from the Empire, because he’s a LOYAL SOLDIER who’s just FOLLOWING ORDERS

-When Luke joins the Rebellion, Cody does too, because he’s still gotta protect Luke

-he insists that he is still a loyal soldier of the Empire, and for all intents and purposes, he is, he’s just, on special assignment.

-When Rebellion leaders express concern about the Purge Trooper actively professing loyalty to Vader and Palpatine, Luke’s like “oh lmao don’t worry Dad’s just like that”

-Rex is so confused and pissed off

-but also happy

-Above Yavin IV, Cody manages to steal a TIE fighter and hovers aggressively behind Luke, shooting the shit out of anyone who comes near him

-Luke is on Bespin. Vader is on Bespin. Vader is dueling Luke and taunting him about the Dark Side. Vader is about to disarm (and dis-hand) Luke. Vader gets fucking tackled by a purge trooper, out of fucking nowhere. Cody just. fucking YEETS himself on top of him, punches him a couple of times, then grabs Luke and books it.

-Vader is so confused

- “was that fucking CODY”

-he thinks Cody’s betrayed him

-he starts trying all the old secret communication channels that imperial spec ops has

-he gets ahold of Cody

-Cody is more than happy to give him a mission update, and is confused and offended when Vader accuses him of treason

- “I’m following orders sir you said to protect him and that’s what I’m doing”

- “you STOLE my SON”

- “I removed him from an unsafe situation and cut contact with individuals likely to have a negative impact on his emotional wellbeing”

- Vader has zero chance of winning this argument, Cody has an entire library of parenting books and child psych texts to throw at him

-anyway fast-forwarding to the Battle of Endor

-Luke and Vader face off again with Palpatine being an evil cackling shit in the background

-Luke has decided that since Cody is “dad” Vader can be “father”

-Luke getting zapped by Palpatine, “Father please, help me”

-Vader having an existential crisis

-out of fucking nowhere, Cody just full-body tackles Palpatine and yeets him into the reactor shaft

-Vader: “…I was gonna do that”

-Cody: “glad to hear it, sir. Keep it up and I might consider weekend visitation rights”

-also it is very important to me that Cody has been wearing his Purge Trooper armor this entire time. The whole 18 years or so of raising Luke on the run, Cody got up every morning and put on his Purge Trooper armor, because he is an on-duty soldier of the Empire and just because he’s on special assignment doesn’t mean he’s gonna skip out on his uniform

“ He warmed up some blue milk for me- you want some?” - AM LIVING FOR THIS TAKE, THANK YOU @maulusque​

LMAOOO THIS AMAZING. Never knew I needed this. XD

This part SENT ME.😂😂

@blackkatmagic @dragneel-twins @thefoundationproject

i LOVE THE NEW ART and also i feel it is very important to add:

-Cody’s black armor is not Vader’s fault. It’s Cody’s. The Empire was majorly shaking up the army’s aesthetic and Cody is always a man On Top of fashion trends, and he saw Vader’s armor and went “pffft i could wear that better”

-when Vader said “protect Luke at any cost” Cody interpreted that literally and persuaded Vader to set up an untraceable bank account with a truly absurd amount of money in it. After Cody absconds with Luke Vader can see money coming out of the account but he has no way to figure out what Cody’s buying or where he’s buying it and it pisses him off so much

-Obi-Wan is still alive in this timeline. he’s been trying to track Luke down but because Cody is Very Good at his Job he doesn’t find him until after Endor

-actually i think it would be very funny if Obi-Wan showed up literally right after Endor, while they’re all having their celebration. Vader is there. Cody is hovering menacingly right behind Luke, who is trying to get his Dad and his Father to get along (Cody is confused because as far as he knows, he and his commanding officer are on perfectly cordial terms)

-Cody’s like “oh HEY obiwan” and immediately tries to kill him because technically speaking no one ever revoked order 66

-Luke still finds out that Vader is his father via Dramatic Reveal on Bespin. he’s upset that Cody didn’t tell him. Cody didn’t tell him because clones don’t have fathers so it literally never occurred to him that it might be relevant

-Cody absolutely follows Luke to Jedi Swamp Camp on Dagobah. 

-Of course, he immediately tries to kill Yoda. Luke’s entire jedi training takes place on the move, as he and Yoda are fleeing through the swamp while being stalked by an Imperial Purge Trooper

-Luke still texts w/ his dad every night tho, to let him know he’s okay and having fun at Jedi Swamp Camp

-Cody’s like “okay honey don’t forget to eat ur snacks also you should be more careful about breaking vegetation i know exactly which direction you’re heading XOXO”

-Han Solo legitimately bails on the Rebellion because Cody gave him the Galaxy’s Most Intimidating Shovel Talk

-it only lasted about 5 minutes tho because Cody hauled him back because Luke would be sad if he left

-Luke finds out Leia is his sister. Cody finds out he has another kid to take care of. (Cody is fully capable of interpreting “protect my son” as “protect my offspring of indeterminate gender” because clones only ever had a vague understanding of gender anyway)

-Luke doesn’t inherit his father’s lightsaber from Obi-Wan. Instead, Cody hands him a lightsaber that he just happened to have lying around and told him “this belonged to some dipshit who couldn’t stop dropping it. I’ve added a wrist strap for you.”

-in this au, Luke’s fighting style involves a lot more bodily contact, because of reasons

-Leia asks Cody about her biological parents, since Cody knew them before the empire

-Cody: “your father was a dramatic idiot. Your mother was a dramatic idiot, but more compact.”

-during Luke’s childhood, Cody was absolutely that overly involved PTA parent who bullied everyone into making cookies for the school bake sale

-he was also the parent who organized playdates and volunteered to chaperone all the field trips

-Luke’s first teacher deserves a fucking medal because during the first parent-teacher conference of the year a fucking Purge Trooper shows up and sits down and starts asking questions like “is Luke getting adequate social support in your classroom” and “what changes should we make at home to support Luke’s education” with a very serious face.

-Cody has difficulty helping Luke with his homework because it’s not like they ever taught clones things like history or writing or literary analysis

-Cody is NOT afraid to request a meeting with the teacher to go over the subject material so he understands it well enough to help Luke

WAIT I JUST THOUGHT OF THIS:

-Return of the Jedi, Act 1. Scene: Sarlacc Pit. Cody’s mostly sitting back because he and Luke came up with the “backflip off a diving board over certain death while R2 yeets you your lightsaber” plan and he’s very confident in it

-however

-Boba Fett comes zooming in to do some fuck shit

-and immediately gets tackled by Cody, who just throws him over his shoulder like a sack of potatoes and hauls him away going “idiot little brothers need to quit touching my shit”

-Boba is immediately overtaken by childhood instincts and goes “i am OLDER THAN YOU” before he even realizes who’s carrying him

-Cody kidnaps invites him over later so Luke can meet one of his (many, many) uncles. it is horrifically awkward.

I’m sorry everyone here’s another:

-Luke’s preschool teacher: “and uhh how old are you, Mr. Trooper?”

-Cody, an Imperial Purge Trooper, very seriously: “sixteen”

i think edward elric entire military experience can be summarized as john mulaney’s “horse loose in the hospital” bit

there is a CHILD ALCHEMIST LOOSE IN THE STATE MILITARY!

NOBODY KNOWS WHAT THE CHILD IS GOING TO DO, LEAST OF ALL THE CHILD!

HE’S NEVER BEEN IN THE MILITARY BEFORE!

They interviewed a man who once saw a baby in a restaurant.

WE’VE ALL SEEN A BABY IN A RESTAURANT!!!

THIS IS A CHILD. LOOSE IN THE MILITARY.

@dalethesjtoddler

And then, for a second, it seemed like maybe we could survive the child, and then, 5 miles under the capital city, an evil homunculus was like, “I have a huge transmutation circle and I’m going to kill everyone to become god!” And before we could say anything, the child was like, “If you even fucking look at Amestris, I will punch you to death with my fists. I dare you to do it. I want you to do it. I want you to do it so I can take my unresolved daddy issues out on you, I’m so fucking crazy.”

This post was written by Roy Mustang

Sometimes it’s not a bad thing, just surprising. Like, “Today the child did alchemy without a transmutation circle,” and everyone is like, “Huh, I didn’t know he could do that.”

The creepiest days are when you don’t hear from the child at all. Those are the days when everyone is like “I think the child has finally calmed down,” and then the child is like “I just uncovered a government conspiracy. I went in that secret lab and snuck in there with my tiny body. I have a tiny body, but don’t you tell me that, or I’ll fuck you up,” and you’re like “That’s what I thought you’d say, you tiny fucking child.”

And then for a second we’re like “Maybe the government will fire the child,” and the child is like “I have dismantled the government.”

funny things Ed and Al do after getting their bodies back (a non-exhaustive list):

- Ed fcking decks anything with his right hand (and almost breaks it after a while) because he keeps forgetting it’s not made of metal and no ed you cant just crush a can under your fist anymore stop

- Al forgetting to wear affect on his face sometimes. He just sits while people are talking to him with a stone-cold murder expression and Winry and Ed constantly remind him relaxed face al! (sometimes just under their breath) and they soon learn to tell him by just a signal by tapping their cheek twice and he shakes his head to snap out of it and smiles because yes! he can smile again!

- Ed’s right arm isn’t as heavy as automail so sometimes gestures just go flying like he’ll lift a plate and accidentally fckin fling the plate across the room behind himself because he accounts for the weight of his automail by accident and moves with way too much gusto

- Al getting pneumonia because he keeps sneaking outside whenever it rains to fcking stand in the rain

- Ed just lifting hot things w/ his right hand without an oven mitt and burning himself

- Al usually sitting with his legs curled close to his chest or legs folded because he couldn’t do that in his armoured body and it feels so nice!! he feels so small!!

- Ed being ambidextrous since he was forced to master writing with his left hand and he perfects the art of drawing transmutation circles with two hands at TOP EFFICIENCY SPEED just because he can

feel free to add more!

- Al reflexively looking down when people try to get his attention before he realises he’s not 10ft tall anymore

- Ed calling Al in Xing with some bullshit alchemy theory like “if we put all the ingredients for a cake in a transmutation circle would we be able to make a perfectly cooked cake here Al I drew the circle already listen very carefully”

- Al at 3am in the morning, dead serious, drawing the cake transmutation circle on the floor

- Al trying to hide kittens under his shirt and finding it’s Not As Effective as being an empty suit of armor

- Ed: I have retired from the military,, they don’t own me anymore,,, from now on I reject and shun their moniker and I shall now be known as,,, the quartermetal non-alchemist

- Al, upon encountering a minor inconvenience, such as eating something he doesn’t like, or getting too hot during summer: getting my body back was a mistake

From chapter 4 of the as-yet-unpublished spymaster Sokka au! Haven’t decided which day I’m gonna start posting.....

[ID: a colored digital portrait of Zuko from Avatar: the Last Airbender. The drawing is done in cool, darker tones. Zuko is an adult in this drawing, with his hair half up in a topknot, the rest of it falling down to his mid back. He is dressed in his red and gold Fire Lord attire. He stands with one arm raising a short sword above his head, an angry grimace on his face. There are dark gray storm clouds behind him, and a shoot of lightning branches down his sword, arm, and torso as rain pours down from the sky. End ID.]

I rewatched both shows at the same time, of course this was gonna happen

 (i know Ed’s leg is in the opposite side shh)

The Emperor’s New … Apprentice? 

I’ve been sitting on these images for a long time now and finally decided to finish them up. It’s just a great combo. 

Palpatine: Why did I think you could do this? This one simple thing! It’s like I’m talking to a monkey.

Light-Side Anakin: Whoa now!

Palpatine: A really, really big stupid monkey named Vader!

Dark-Side Anakin: Ouch.

Palpatine: And do you want to know something else? I’ve never liked your spinach puffs!

All Anakins/Vader: GASP!

Palpatine: NEVER!
