Echo & Fives Are Just As Chaotic As The Nulls And I Love Them Bc Of That. They Would Make Mereel & Jaing

Echo & Fives are just as chaotic as the Nulls and I love them bc of that. They would make Mereel & Jaing so proud

I see a lot of posts about Domino Twins causing chaos in the 501st and while that's awesome, it's also during a time where Fives is just a little rebellious and chaotic and Echo is basically the responsible one.

No, consider: Present Day AU where Fives is alive and joins the Clone Rebellion. Like, you cannot tell me that ARC Trooper "I almost foiled a galaxy-wide 5d chess masterplan of an insanely powerful evil space wizard" Fives and ARC Trooper "I am the Revolution, God himself cannot kill me and I know all of your search histories" Echo would not be menaces to society on an unprecedented scale of Domino Twins insanity. Dave Filoni tore them apart because they would be too powerful together after their character arcs.

Fives would team up with his twin brother shortly after their heartfelt reunion, remembering Echo as a by-the-book stickler for rules who is 95% of both Fives' damage and impulse control. And Fives comes up with a batshit plan to infiltrate a highly fortified imperial prison, puts his hand on Echo's shoulder and goes "Little brother, I know you're not going to like this but we're going to have to resort to drastic measures for this mission." And Echo looks him dead in the eyes, nods and goes "I agree. We're going to have to assassinate the Emperor."

And Fives just shoots Rex a slightly concerned, questioning look. Rex just shrugs. "The Bad Batch radicalized him."

Rex has no control over them. Fives is like "You know how you told us to not act on impulse and consult you about plans first?"

Rex's expression darkens. "What. did. you. do?" and Fives goes "okay so Echo hacked into the computer on Tarkins ship and pulled up the chat backups of him and Admiral Rampart- did you know the latter has a shrine for Echo's former squadmate Crosshair?- anyway, we published Tarkins plans for invasion and also the porn he downloaded on his datapad to the holonet and now the citizens are calling for his beheading."

Rex just looks at Echo like "you let him talk you into this?" and Fives goes "Huh? This was Echo's idea!"

Echo: The invasion plans were my idea. Fives added... the rest.

Fives: Oh, Echo we should probably tell him about the space horse.

Rex: The what-

Domino Twins.

RepComm characters learn everything from their training sergeant, holo dramas & books. Which is hilarious.

Ordo, one of the Null ARCs, shoots a government spy that had been following his gf right in front of her. And then he's like 'oh you're upset, let me cook you your favorite meal' and she's like 'no, you just killed a man, I can still smell his singed flesh, I'm not hungry' so he's like 'duh, of course. Let me make us some coffee. Also, what are your thoughts on marriage, here's a priceless ring my sergeant stole when we robbed a bank... sorry I couldn't get you something legit but clones don't get paid"

Also, they met when he was pretending to be another trooper she worked with, but she figures it out and does something that threatens to mess up their covert special ops mission, so he stuns her & they kidnap her & she starts working for them & it sounds insane but they're such a cute couple.

Do you think the clones had to take a “how to be a normal human being in society” class in order to somewhat be able to seem like normal in non military settings or do they just wing it and hope for the best?

Trooper simps! Stop what you're doing & listen....there's a 'choose your own adventure' Clone Wars kids book where you're Plo Koon's padawan, you meet up with an Alpha ARC called Trantos & you both attempt to foil an evil Seppie scientist's plot... and among the various storylines you can choose are:

1) getting captured and Trantos saves you, bursting in, guns blazing w a detonite stick in his mouth

2) escaping a trap & and meeting up with his Nautolan bounty hunter side chick in an underwater city and persuading her to give you information

3) accidentally joining Dooku's training camp & fighting Asajj Ventress to protect him

4) getting mistankenly arrested by the Baran Do for bringing misfortune to their planet

5) ending up in a cantina and have your brains adled by a mysterious laser weapon

6) getting sucked into a black hole & ending up on a swamp planet that has nothing to do with the mission & a flower kills you...

There are more possible plot lines, but you get the idea. They're all bonkers and a ton of fun to read through. Depending on what you choose, Trantos is either this sassy ARC who's annoyed w your incompetence or your best friend in chaos.

It's a kids' book, so a very quick read and its hilarious. "Clone Wars: Dooku's Secret Army" 10/10

Omg I love this ❤️

Been sketching and resketching this one a couple of times until I finally got faces I like. It's a portrait of Darman and Kad Skirata during the time I imagine they spent together somewhere offworld alone (i.e. not on Mandalore with the remainder of the Skirata clan), in the years just after Dar's desertion. Illu for a short scene I wrote last year.

Lol yes but Rex trusts these 4 nut jobs and whatever Rex says is ok goes. Echo doesn't leave w them until Rex is like "these are some of the finest troopers I've ever served with..." etc. And I love that they keep this consistent in the Bad Batch, when they go to rescue Gregor l, the Batch is so reluctant but Echo's like we don't need any intel, he's a friend of Rex, and that's all he needs to know.

Just over here admiring the level of sheer blind trust Echo put into this band of strange-looking clones that he had literally just met, by agreeing to be tossed by a gigantic bear of a man 20 feet (give or take) through the air up to a small ventilation shaft while clinging to the back of the guy who's wearing glasses in an active combat zone.

This, after having just been released from cryofreeze with two prosthetic legs he likely hasn't had any practice actually walking on + a scomp for a hand (meaning if anything goes wrong with this stunt, there's likely very little he can do to save himself).

(May I just add that THE Anakin Skywalker is apparently just standing back watching all this go down before finally saying he doesn't actually need Wrecker's help to reach the shaft because, you know, the Force?)

Of course, Echo's an ARC trooper who had Fives as a squad mate... But he's basically putting his life in the hands of 4 versions of Fives 2.0 on steroids, immediately after waking up from months of torture/coma.

AND THEN within 10 minutes of this, he has to leap onto the back of a winged creature, and does so without any question apart from raised eyebrows.

Mad respect, Echo. Mad respect!
