Nulls Aren't Crazy - Tumblr Posts
I just started reading Republic Commando Order 66 & Ordo Skirata is my absolute favorite. All his scenes are so unintentionally funny. Like the dude intercepts a government spy tailing Besany, roasts him for being a pervert, hacks into his system, decides he's too dangerous to be left alive, shoots him in the cab in front of her, drives her home, offers to cook her favorite meal, realizes she's in shock cause he shot a guy in front her & is like "oh you're afraid of me" I'll get you coffee instead, then decides this is the right time to propose with an insanely valuable piece of jewelry that his sergeant stole from a bank, apologizes that he can't buy her something legit cause the army doesn't pay him & says "good glad that's sorted" when she accepts. Like WTF
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?
Fr Ordo defs has black cat energy. Mereel is orange, Jaing's a Bengal, Prudii is a tuxedo, A'den is a tabby. Kom'rk is grey.
Kal'buir: *brings home uj cake to surprise his sons, trying to be as stealthy as he can* The Null ARCs, hearing the noises from the kitchen:
