Jedi Younglings - Tumblr Posts
So I saw a post about younglings and padawans pranking each other (and sometimes the masters) and sewing cat ears on their cloaks and
I did sketch Elzar, Avar and Stellan because I love those three (also, they lived way before Order 66 so I can spare myself from the trauma of knowing that they were cute Younglings that later got slaughtered)
It’s cute okay?
I love the idea of jedi babies with psychometry just.... latching onto random things that have good memories attached and carrying it around like a teddy bear. Like baby Quin found a spatula with a memory of a kid and their parent lovingly making cookies in it and he slept with a dollar store spatula for the next 3 years. Cal found some silverware that a happy group of friends used for all of their special occasions, so his pockets end up full of comfort spoons. and forks. and butter knives.
Yay! This is so cute! I wasn't sure if everyone's prompts would get drawn or how you wanted to do it, so I'm absolutely stoked that you drew this! 😁
Mace deserves way more love in the fandom! Thank you for drawing my prompt! 🫶
This one's for @loycspotting ☄️
The prompt was : Mace Windu holding two younglings! One in each arm
I'm soo slow with these prompts I'm sorry, but now I'm back at my place and should be able to draw more regularly !
I love to imagine the training differences between the Jedi and the Clones. Not even like the difficulty of attitude towards it but the trainers themselves and what’s expected.
These clones need to grow up fast and learn to overcome personal issues and batch problems quickly. Their trainers (trainers that are older Clones such as Colt or Alpha-17) are harsh but ready to show them the way. They will yell and scream and beat their lessons into them, but when all is said an done they'll treat the cadets wounds with bacta and soft words, holding them if needed.
Jedi trainers and NOT THAT. They are sweet, gentle (most of the time (they are dealing with kids)), patient, loving, and caring. They use a slow and steady hand to guide the younglings, not only with physical training but also their personal training. They will work with the younglings, slow and patient til they understand and get it.
All of this deep dive for one comedic scene in my brain. Anyway.
In order to bridge the gap between the two organizations, several small groups of jedi younglings are taken to Kamino to meet other cadets and learn how they think/act for when each group joins the war. The younglings get to view training, visit the tubies and clones of all ages, speak with the trainers/commanders stationed there, see some of the labs, and play with some of the 'babies' and younger cadets.
During the view of a spar, the younglings are quiet and taking in the cadets (about age 10 looking) with each other. Alpha-17 is talking to the younglings, explaining their regiment and who is good at what. Once the spar is done, 17 has the same two cadets go again. He explains what he is looking for, how he sees their spar, when -after the third spar with the same pair- 17 pauses and screams:
"CT-42-9686! You drop that arm again before you're strike and i'll break it off and beat you with it! Raise it up! Do it again or I'll give you to Havoc and he'll beat it out of you!
Needless to say this got some questionable reactions and lots of squawking from the Jedi Trainer and younglings. While, the cadet adjusted his form and the others laughed.
When the younglings reaturned to their friends at the temple, they were aprehensive to share their stories of scary Clone Trainers that were mean and yelled at the Cadets and the Cadets who seemed to like it!
Meanwhile, the cadets are astonished when they had visited the temple and a Jedi trainer paused a spar and personally adjusted the younglings form and then quietly explained why it was better to do the adjustment. The next few times the youngling forgot the adjustment, the Trainer would call out 'do the adjustment!' softly and kindly.
When they returned to Kamino, they didn't know how to start explaining the Jedi's teaching methods. There were not words for them. The next time they got yelled at, they ran up and hugged their trainer and cried at how happy they were.
Needless to say, neither group will be changing their training methods any time soon.
Everyone knows Clone Medics with threaten death to get their troops to chill for five seconds.
But
Somehow, they get Jedi younglings their medbay. They’re good people so they treat their wounds kindly, give warnings for shots, rub backs on gently, calming words, hugs when they’re done.
And it’s sweet and nice.
Until
A medic (pick any battalion) hears a clone trying to get up from a bed. They, with our hesitation ‘sit the kark down before I break your legs’
The staring contest he and the Jedi youngling had was intense, only broken by the sound of laughter behind them from the before mentioned trooper.
Maintence/Engineering Clones Headcanons
maintence and engineering go hand in hand, since they can do both and clones are exclusive to one or the other
types of maintenance clones: shuttle (includes fighters and smaller carriers that are on a Venator), starship, armor, artillery
It’s pretty easy to tell what they do but it’s one of the most complex and difficult jobs in the GAR
Shuttle crews work exclusively on shuttles, all day every day
Maintenance includes reloading the weapons, taking apart and cleaning the laser canons/guns, checking the wires for fraying, cleaning the windows, engine repair, etc
Though, deep maintenance such as engine and gun cleaning only happens during transport to other battles as those take a lot of time
Shuttle crews can take apart and put together any ship blindfolded
During quick maintenance, windows are cleaned, systems are given a quick diagnostic check, and guns are checked for debris before they are let loose
These crews can go from 3 (for single fighters like Y wings) to 15 (larger carriers)
Starship maintenance crews are the largest and the most diverse in their jobs
They work in shifts for cleaning as that never truly stops, but otherwise assigned to one area of the ship
Starship category is broken down into subsections: engines, reactors, systems, cannons, general
The engines crew are mostly active on repair trips or leaves. Their job is to make sure the engines work in top shape
This includes checking fuel usage and stuff like that
However it also includes cleaning the engines, hanging from lines at the top and hanging hundreds of feet above the ground
The engines are lined with a coating keeping the metal from melting, this needs to be reapplied every so often so they painstakingly coat the engines from top to bottom
They also have to check the pilot flame that starts the engines by climbing in and cleaning by hand
The engine crews are the most insane and chill, they hang in the air for eight or more hours listening to music or chatting while applying coatings and checking for rust
The reactor crew works just with the reactors that power the engines
While this seems that it should be apart of the engine, it’s best to be kept separate as the job is just as extensive but much more complicated
Reactor crews lift off the metal covering the tech and check every line and wire for fraying or shorting out
The systems crew deals with life support, navigation, and weapons systems
Their job is similar to the reactor crews, checking wires, electrical outputs, things like that
Though unlike reactor crews and engine crews, they don’t stop working while in space
At the end of every 24 hour rotation they go through the navigation systems to fully update the storage chips
If something shorts out or glitches, they are the ones to call, similar to an IT department (just incredibly skilled and specialized)
Cannons crew, while sounding like a simple job, is just as complex as the others
They don’t just deal with the cannons, any weapon attached to the starship is their responsibility
They work at the same time as the engine crews, while the ship is docked and under repair
They take off the barrels, clean and oil them, reattach, and put them back online. Do this more than 100x and you’ve got a canon crew
They also work on the cannons that are in the hangers. Those barrels cannot be detached so they use long cleaning pipes that extend and clear the grooves inside the barrel
To make sure the weapon is clear, they fire a blank under the watch of the artillery crew
The final crew for starships are the general crew
This crew is made up of the engine and cannon crews while in space
They take care of any damage the ship takes while in battle
They check on the water and sewage pipes that run throughout the ship, they keep the halls clean and make sure the overall structure of the ship is able to handle cannons firing, shuttles and fighters mount and going, and people running through the ship without collapsing on itself
The final two maintenance crews are different as they aren’t limited to the starship crew or shuttles but are a mix of both
Armor crews keep the clones armor in top shape and clean, they repair armor and get replacements as needed
They work on HUD and any built in systems of the clone trooper armor
However, they also work on ship armament. If a shuttles armor is severly weakened, they have to fix it (or make it useable until they get to a proper repair dock)
Artillery is similar but more extensive
If it’s fired or needed ammunition, they take care of it
From blaster packs to torpedos, they maintain it and have it in stock
They mostly deal with larger weapons such as the cannons (both on board and those that are to be taken into battle) and the shots for the AT-TE.
Though, many specialize in certain weaponry such as bombs, attached artillery (cannons on AT-TE, shuttles, fighters, and starships), loner (rocket launchers, grenades, blaster packs, and mini guns)
Though these groups are diverse and often work together to fully arm and prepare any one thing.
An AT-TE doesn’t just require torpedos and the like, it’s crew need blasters, they’ll transport rockets to troops
All maintenance are pretty chill dudes and will happily tell you about their job if asked
They don’t take kindly to taunting or degrading and will make your life hell
They wear an outfit features a heavy duty helmet full of padding for comfort, built in ear muffs and comms, and an extra visor that can be flipped down used during welding. They wear a heavy undersuit (that most cut the lower arms off of) that extends to just under the chin for full coverage. Over it is a usually stained plain shirt with an added pouch for hydration packs and snacks, and heavy padded full arm coveralls that have built in leg/kneepads/elbow pads. Their belt is a toolbelt with lots of pouches for anything they need. On their arm, a band signifies rank. Finally thick heavy gloves that go over the overalls for a tight seal.
They can also add on the safety gear needed for grappling down in engines.
Most wear the upper portion of the coveralls tied around their waist because that shit is wayyy to hot.
While off duty, they just wear the shirt and some of their lighter work coveralls with the arms rolled up
They tend to get made fun of a lot because they do keep the ship clean like a janitor most times they are seen
But, if you need a secret hiding hole, a camera blind spot, a quick fix for your stuff, or a place to crash, they’re the ones to go to
Many who work with younger Jedi teach them how to repair their clothing and tech, though they’ve never gotten a look inside the lightsaber (no matter how they’ve tried)
Sometimes they are assigned to mind younglings during off hours or really harsh battle
Best exchange ever!!!!
