The Cost Of Progress.

The cost of progress.

Sorry i feel like that was too rude lol. Can u do Tubbo and 72 pls :)) your arts rlly cool

lol dont worry it wasnt rude!! its ok :} (and thank you!! <3)

acting on your best behaviour. turn your back on mother nature. everybody wants to rule the world

Anyway one of the reasons I’m so mad about Order 66 is the fact that a happy ending would have meant that Clone Culture and Jedi Culture would mix because they basically adopted each other and it would have been beautiful

Jedi are peacekeepers and they are more than happy to return to their role but war still haunts them and leaves its marks. Many are happy to get rid of their armor, others not so much

Padawans who survived and grow into Knights who keep parts of their armor, painted in the color of their battalion

New Padawans who pick up an armor and paint it in colors meaningful to them after their first mission! Imagine excited kids coming back going “Look! My armor has its first scratch!!!” And a clone being so happy for this tiny Shinie

Which also: Language. Okay. So much slang becoming casual in the temple but also Mando’a. Shinie and Padawan becoming pretty synonymous after a few years.

And like, going on missions without clones just feels kinda weird at this point. And they just attach themselves to their Jedi for missions because sure, we’re not fighting A War™️ anymore but Skywalker and Kenobi are still Skywalker-and-Kenobi and We Know Better

Also Force-sensitive clones because canon robbed us of that. Which starts the whole age debate. And then somebody (Anakin who is busy being a Dad and also a Master bc he deserved it after defeating Sidious) goes “I mean. The oldest are actually only 15 and also we should listen to the Force”

And the Council is already so tired, Skywalker has been taking his adorable super strong kids to meetings basically everyday, Plo Koon legally adopted the Wolfpack as soon as Clones were recognized as citizens of the Republic (he had the adoption papers on his person so he could make use of them ASAP) might as well change the code

So Clone Padawans!!! And later Knights!!!! And they’re so proud of it.

On the other hand, a lot of clones adapt Jedi practices! Learn their code to make it through the memories of war because bred soldier or not - it leaves scars

They meditate! Some of them might even actually kinda know how to handle a lightsaber because their Jedi keep losing theirs

They first get Jedi tunics because that’s just what they have at the temple and when you need to supply a lot is people with casual clothes, that’s a good start. Some clones branch out, others don’t. They’re comfortable and the whole cape/robe drop is badass

Tattoos! Not really a thing for the Jedi as a culture before, but they become more and more popular so that Masters legit have to make sure their underaged Padawans won’t get any.

Sharing last names! Like, objectively, them optioning for going by “Fett” is funny for so many reasons, most of them related to Boba having to sit through various “No, not that Fett” talks but also! Jedi offering up their last names! Plo already adopted his batch but I bet Cody introduces himself as “Kenobi” and Obi-Wan doesn’t even blink like “It suits you, Commander”.

Also Ahsoka and Rex coming home because we deserve that and Ahsoka and Anakin nearly throwing hands about Who Gets To Give Rex Their Last Name. (RIP to them because Padmé was quicker and Rex Amidala sounds ten times as cool)

Tiny younglings!!! Being so honored when they can share a name with a Clone. Imagine a small little Twi’lek Initiate being HYPED when a Commander accepts her name. A hero! Thinking you’re very brave!

The Senate maybe goes “but the clones don’t belong to you-“ at the start but are shut up very quickly.

Just give me the Clones and Jedi in the aftermath of the war living together peacefully.

Bruce sends the family groupchat one (1) random 'i love you all' and they all instantly assume he's about to die. Damian falls to his knees in a Walmart and starts praying. Stephanie crashes her Spoiler van into a tree. Dick misses a jump and falls 3 stories into a garbage can. Duke calls his social worker.

Barbara starts tracking his location and live reporting to Cass. Tim gets his cloning tubes ready. Jason goes M.I.A. and is found three weeks later floating facedown in a pool.

Ten minutes later he sends: "Clark suggested I show my affection for you all more often. Apologies, won't happen again." and the world blows up instantly.

Jason to Bruce: Yeah, well Mom would have killed the Joker for me!

Bruce: Jaylad, I can't-

Bruce: Who is 'Mom'.

Jason: Talia, duh.

Dick: Yeah, Bruce, duh.

Dick: Wait.

Dick: What?

Damian: I was not made aware of this development.

Tim: You think she'd still kill him if she's asked nicely, Jay?

Jason: Probably.

Tim: Hm.

*Later that day*

Duke: The Joker was killed in his Arkham cell, apparently. No evidence left of the killer, but it wasn't a quick death.

Dick, looking Tim dead in the eyes: Oh wow, I wonder how that happened?

Tim: A mystery, truly.

Duke:

Duke: Not that I'm complaining, right, I'm as happy about his death as the rest of you. But would Bruce be okay with this?

Jason, from across the Manor: WHICH ONE OF YOU EVIL FUCKS TOLD TALIA THAT I WANTED TO COME BACK TO NANDA PARBAT OVER THE SUMMER???

Damian, pouring his cereal: Maybe you should VISIT MOTHER MORE OFTEN, YOU HEATHEN.

Dick: We care very little about what Bruce is okay with here.

Duke: I'm starting to get that, yeah.

Jason: Ok, so as a kid you stalked B and me around Gotham

Tim: yup

Jason: and there’s a future version of you that is Batman and uses guns

Tim: pretty sure he isn’t going by Batman anymore? But yeah

Jason: any other crazy shit that I should know about?

Tim: You know about the time I tried to clone my dead friend, right?

Jason: How the fuck are you on our side
