Art based on my Star Wars fanfic, The Doll and The General! Middle-aged Ben sparring with his clone is not a recipe for a positive mental attitude (for either of them). Poor Sid looks like a walking corpse.

Cw child death, clone ethics

So that was a pretty fucked up dream.

A bunch of ppl found out their kids were clones, and it was treated like a recall for a product.

Some kid I used to babysit who was still like 3 in the dream was being recalled and I was trying to raise enough money to fight the recall or something. I needed to raise like a million dollars to save him. I started thinking about the other kids that were recalled that I also babysat and started panicking til I woke up.

I just saw a really stupid take from a Star Wars fan (I know, absolutely unheard of! (heavy sarcasm)) so here is a reminder:

People who ship clones with Jedi are more than aware of the power dynamic. That’s a huge part of what makes them interesting. If we were to to ship Cody with basically anyone else other than Obi Wan, it probably wouldn’t work as well because Obi Wan is precisely the last person who would ever want to pressure him or cross his boundaries.

The Jedi were totally screwed over and backed into a war that goes against so much of what they stand for and on top of that, now they have an entire army of brand new humans to lead. All of those brand new humans are totally unique and just experiencing the world for the first time, even though they’re all mature adults too. It’s a totally screwed up situation which puts so much added pressure onto the Order, so we throw romantic feelings on top of that and we’re not supposed to find that absurdly compelling?

Obi Wan is literally defined by his empathy and his kindness. The reason shipping him with Cody works so well is because there is no one who represents what the Jedi are meant to be better than him. Goodness is at the core of his character. There would never be a day that he didn’t value Cody’s wellbeing over his own feelings. Not to mention that they’re both so dedicated to their beliefs and responsibilities that a relationship is never even realistically an option while the war is going on.

Codywan is about the yearning. It’s about them both knowing they have feelings for each other and not being able to do anything about it because they are fighting for something much bigger than themselves. It’s about the infamous “after the war” conversation that they never got to have. It’s about them meeting again on Tatooine years later, finally on equal footing and completely alone in the galaxy, bonded together by their grief.

That’s why people love Codywan. The suggestion of anything otherwise is just an insult to the hard work all the artists and writers have put into making some of the most incredible fanfiction and fanart and fanon lore I’ve ever seen in any fandom ever.

P.S.— the portrayal of something in a piece of media doesn’t equal the condoning or promoting of that sort of behaviour. I thought we’d long since established that. Let’s use our brains here.

#preaching to the masses by putting this in the codywan tag but nvm #if your media literacy is dead I totally get how these ships would seems weird to you #pretty sure every sw ship comes with its ethical complications bc that’s how adult relationships work #it’s about how you handle it #all of my long posts are motivated by either anger or spite #codywan #clone/jedi ships #obi wan kenobi #commander cody #star wars #clone wars #star wars prequels #sw

i can't stress enough how badly the man who sold the world tape in mgsv made me need to like bite my own arm off and run around in circles. i'd been told venom was a body double before i started watching my bf play so that wasn't surprising but the way it was FRAMED did things to me. he's not an imposter or a stand in or a false double he IS big boss because they are both together big boss because big boss is just the legend not the man and now he is part of the legend and his actions are in service of the grand plan and he's PART of the narrative and of equal importance and and and. and he walks through the mirror and accepts it and thrives in it and dies for it.

#ignore me #metal gear #metal gear solid v spoilers #IDK JUST IN CASE #BUT LIKE. MEN WILL LITERALLY BECOME TWO HALVES OF A WHOLE INSTEAD OF GOING TO THERAPY #the legend and the hold big boss has on men is so strong that a guy will be told he's been surgically altered and had false memories #implanted in his brain and it's his duty to live as the legend and die for it in service of some nebulous master plan and he'll go otay!!!!#fucked up and compelling to me. also big boss selfcest is something that can be so personal #WE ALREADY KNOW MY STANCE ON CLONEFUCKING. i was going to say this is more ethical bc he's not actually even a clone #but i think maybe it's less ethical because of the surgery done without his consent. they should still make out sloppy style

Saw Gerrera Appreciation Post

He's incredibly handsome and charming

loyal, even under torture

and lost his little sister while fighting for his home planet.

He blames himself for her death.

And yet, he's one of the few parties we know that immediately knew the Empire would be worse than the Galactic Republic and the Separatists.

His methods are divisive, but he's made peace with what he has to do in order to win an impossible war.

Because if he doesn't do it, who will?

#saw gerrera #here we love a flawed character with the best of intentions #here we see what can happen when the goal overrides the means of achieving it #He is both a warning and an example #when you have no other options than bad or worse #what would you do?#star wars the clone wars #star wars the bad batch #sw tcw #sw tbb #I'm glad I have never had to make choices like saw #I'm stupid glad I can sit and think about the morality and ethics of all these fictional characters and not be affected by it #may no one ever have to be in saw's position

i find discussions about cloning (generally in fiction, but sometimes real cloning) kinda funny. like yeah there are different subtopics here but so much of it comes down to discussions about people being genetically identical and can they actually be their own person and like. did you know that identical twins literally already exist?

#personal #cloning #like i’m a fraternal twin not identical but it still gives me that perspective of REMEMBERING THAT TWINS EXIST #i’m not here to get into different areas of clone ethics #but can y’all think for 5 seconds before just..describing a real group of people #this started as a convo w my dad because we’re watching foundation #(he wasn’t arguing against me. he’s also very aware of twins lmao)#foundation

It’s honestly heartbreaking to see how each of the characters accept their fate with total resignation. No questions, no doubts, no hope for survival, just pure acceptance. To be taught that your only purpose in life is to donate your organs so real humans could continue living defeats any meaning in life. They are born, they grow up, and they die, like any other living being does, but their lack of purpose in their future makes them so different to us. None of them worry about their future careers, nor their future spouses, or even their future at all. It’s all predetermined, and all they have to do is keep themselves alive and healthy so they can be used. They do have a better life than some humans currently living on this planet, but they’re also deprived of chances of ever being able to work for a better life. They’re stuck in this life forever, and their only escape is death. Maybe that’s why they embrace their completion without fear: they never had hope for a future from the start.

Something I’ve been pondering about is what I would’ve done if I were in their situation. Would I have spent my entire existence trying to escape this predetermined fate, or would I accept it and move into other things in life. Perhaps it’s not escaping fate that matters the most, because the end will come no matter what we do, and we’ll all complete someday. Perhaps being like Kathy and Ruth and Tommy and all these characters, who accepted their fate and chose to continue making memories and experiencing the wonders of this world, would satisfy our hopes and dreams, because all that’s left in the end are the memories, isn’t it?

Researcher Obi-Wan

Obi-Wan I understand your desire to know more about the mechanics of the parasitic worms that are an essential component of a legendary hive mind I do but I REALLY don’t think this experiment would pass whatever the Republic’s version of an IRB is.

Yep, participant does not agree to it, time to reformat your study.

Seriously Obi-Wan.

Ending here with Anakin’s well-deserved snark and Obi-Wan’s grouchy face.

#obi-wan we do not do science at other people's expense #though that's a good question #DOES the Republic have an IRB?#or some sort of ethics review board?#seems like the kind of thing that would vary by planet but like #are there galatic level laws about it?#calling out to the people who are way more invested in star wars than I cam #do you folks know?#star wars #clone wars #geonosis #geonosis mind worms #obi wan kenobi #anakin skywalker #luminara unduli

Little poster experiment I made for my fanfic, The Doll and The General, featuring Sid at his most poster-boy. This poster would theoretically be produced by the Trade Federation for their evil machinations. I imagine it’s sitting in some sad galactic graphic designer’s files somewhere.

'Into the Techiverse' is back, with ETHICAL ARGUMENTS!

"Oh, golly gee willikers, Dr. Meat Muffin! My life is void and without meaning since I can't yell at people about proper subject protection matters! I need an IRB training, maybe a CITI review! I AM SO EMPTY INSIDE!"

My poor little dumpling DARLING has Dr. Meat Muffin got the prescription for YOU!

The latest chapter has lots of it! Plus a nice chat between Tech and a Jedi. Check it out here.

Indeed, Tech is rescued, has a nice conversation, but meanwhile, his rescuers, namely, the Belter...

gets to butt heads with the Mandalorian...

And different ideals, including different types of intergenerational trauma, are flung angrily at each other.

Characters used here belong to @wrenkenstein @moosethren @ilikemymendarkandfictional and @techs-stitches.

Oh yeah. I am down BAD bad. Remedios is serenading the missus with lizard knowledge she researched specifically to impress her.

Also I know Remedios’s anatomy looks kinda wack but honestly as long as Candide looks alright that’s all that matters to me. Gotta do my queen justice after all 💪

#clone high #clone high candide #candide sampson #clone high oc #oc x canon #Remi is a big huge mega simp #like if Candide needed a footrest she would get on her hands and knees without question #but also she just admired her a lot #like her work ethic and her confidence and her motivation to get what she wants no matter how many eggs she has to break #it’s the sort of confidence Remi desperately yearns for #without being an insensitive prick that is #if y’all want I could elaborate on their relationship dynamics n stuff in a separate post #my art

Ok ok ok I’m all for this but I’m not sure I follow.

Mokona asks if the integrity of time and space is coming apart due to Evil Wolverine shenanigans, and Yuuko says yes. This thematically and chronologically matches up the parallel conversation they had in Tsubasa, noting that reason itself was coming apart due to Evil Wolverine.

That part I get, but the reason Mokona asks this is because the time frame Kohane received the feather doesn’t match up with when the feathers were scattered.

Which like, was already the case across the multiverse wasn’t it? Time flows differently everywhere, so sometimes the feathers showed up a hundred years before we the readers see the world at all, but it was all technically at the same time. Like in Fai’s world, when the feathers showed up who knows how long ago, but when he shows up in Tsubasa it’s only moments after we see the feathers get scattered in the first place.

So is THAT the product of Evil Wolverine as well? Or is that just the normal universe schedule, and Kohane received the feather even more out of sync than other people?

I suppose it depends entirely on when the feather actually showed up, which we don’t particularly know I think? How do you even track time in xxxHolic?

BUT.

I SUPPOSE, ALL THAT ASIDE, we can just not pay attention to the specific details that I’m not sure we have and just focus on the important things, such as:

Time and space are falling apart

And

Sakura’s feathers show up to people who want to protect others

WHICH… TRACKS?

Actually that’s an amazing detail to throw in here unprompted. I’m mentally going over all the ones I can remember and it does seem to be the case. I especially like how this echoes with Fai discovering his one in the wild, while trying to protect the townspeople, and using the other to create Chii, who he used to protect his brother and later Ashura.

NEAT.

the sheer untapped potential of Adam surviving + Kuron getting to keep his body and Shiro getting a new one. there's two Shiros now. They're both extremely buff. Adam is entirely too gay for this.

#adam: is it ethical to date both your ex-fiancee and his clone #it's just so funny to picture like. kuron gets out of the car first #and adam starts racing towards him. and then ANOTHER SHIRO GETS OUT OF THE CAR AFTER HIM #he did NOT get briefed on this development why are there TWO OF THEM
