I saw your art of Alpha-17 and Fox, could you do one of the Corrie Guard all pointing towards Palpatine’s office? Like a “Him. Right there. Get his ass” kinda thing?
Hi hello I’m glad you liked my art!
I do imagine some sort of situation like this (especially after reading the comics with Seventeen in them - that man is so desperate to do a political assassination it’s not even funny)
Thanks for dropping by!
@wispsofwhimsy’s post about a Fox + Alpha-17 fix-it came across my dash and has not left my brain since
So I have this idea for a fix-it, right?
All I’m saying is that one of the ways Alpha-17 trained the Command Batch to deal with life-threatening situations is by sending them to torment the Nulls.
Of course, any serious retaliation on the Nulls’ part is halted by a gigantic and murderously frowning Alpha-17, who stares at them with indescribable contempt until they just decide to cut their losses and leave.
This also means that Cody has absolutely no respect for the Nulls. They all do, but Cody’s the one who stands there smiling with evil eyes and offering to tell “all those funny stories from Kamino” to whoever else is in the room.
crucial alpha-17 fact (to me) is that he does not think of himself as impossible to love. he knows people love him. his batchmates love him. obi-wan loves him. cody loves him. he simply thinks he is incapable of returning that love.
people can love him all they want! but something something faulty incubation chamber, too many pieces taken out of his genome, whatever. he's human, yes. but not enough to love like humans are supposed to love.
#aro 17 mayhabs???#also it’s so funny 17 is like#17: I love nobody I can’t#also 17: has the biggest soft spot for Cody known to man#so big makes all his other students (Davi) think he considers them less important (via @/swonkohwenoeht)
IT IS THE ARO VIBES!!! I CAN ALWAYS COUNT ON YOU!!!
Soft spot for Cody is easily explained <3 Cody is the only one of his many students whom '17 is Reasonably Certain won't die <3
#The last line made me laugh out loud but like in the most chagrined way possible#a17 approach to parenting is like an English monarch with 13 children that knows only 3 will make it to adulthood (via @/lesquatrechevrons)
i am weeping. phenomenal addition to the post, you get it!!!
Teaching cadets how to round in math
Little cadet: “Seventeen how old are you?”
Alpha-17: “Twenty one.”
Little: *Doing the math*
Alpha-17: “TWO and ONE.”
Little: “Oooh…so you’re almost fifty!”
Alpha-17: “That’s right.”
Little: “And then you’ll be dead.”
Fordo: *gasps from the other side of the room* “Cadet!”
Alpha-17: “I hope so. Well don’t correct him he’s right. I yearn for the urn.”
Fordo: “NO-“
okay, but what if alpha-17 always called the cadets by their chosen names until they pissed him off and then he brings out the full government name (their numbers)?
just imagine little cody and wolffe squabbling for the tenth time that day and alpha’s patience has worn thin, so he busts out the “CC-2224” and “CC-3636” and it works immediately.
both of the little terrors know when alpha brings out the codes, that they’re in real trouble and are going to be punished. it’s the only time they’re actually a little afraid of him.
of course fox is snickering in the corner.
also, rex is alpha’s favorite and the most well-behaved, so he pretty much never gets called out like that, so when it does happen he’s pretty intimidated and alpha immediately regrets it
he might baby rex, but he’s also spoiled the cc’s all their (short) lives so he has to be a little rougher with those hellions
he would never admit to being soft on any of them though
Saw this by @rskacreates and had an idea
Also Rex was adopted by Alpha & the CC batch and you can pry that headcanon out of my cold hands
Super SUPER happy with how this turned out!!? I've even got his Kirituhi saved as a stamp so I can get it on him without dying every time??
Wanted to give Alpha-17, the one-man-army, a powerlifter bod to fit his work?? He's got the Kirituhi for honoring Jango, and Mandalorian culture, as well as various other tattoos!! The Mando'a letters/numbers are for his closest command cadets, and he's got some fun tattoos poking at Grevious should he deal with that scrap heap again (suggested by @/honnid on IG!!).
Also gave him a cybernetic spine since he's mentioned in the comics that, while he couldn't walk again, he'd be able to hold a blaster?? So he's got a cybernetic restoring most of his ability back, though he needed other augmentations to his body to keep everything going when his original spine couldn't.
However, some days are more painful than others, and he's still recovering so: blaster walking stick!!! Bless the anon that suggested it??? A long press to the top deactivates the safety, and extends the trigger, from there he can shoot bolts if he needs to. Or he can just use it to threaten Kaminoans/smack cadets upside the head. 😂🤣
Some close-ups below!:
No Man Left Behind / Something Worth Dying For
Request from @razzbberry - Palette #1 - Alpha-17, Cody - Death of the Cynic in Me
Notes and close-ups beneath the cut!
It’s my headcanon that the early gens of clones (Nulls and Alphas) are 5’8” like Jango—but more muscular—and every gen after that is 6’
So Alpha 17 is watching the cadets he’s training with alarm when they get taller than him. Will they ever…stop growing???
Once the baby, always the baby
Seventeen wants to know why Fordo’s kids sleep and his don’t.
For day 3 of @fordoweek: Cadet Training
Alpha-17: let me see what you have
Cadet Rex: a knife!
Alpha-17: NO!
