I love rebel fox's ridiculously big sleeves
So glad you do — I dearly love them too. So many opportunities for flourishing and swishing from a man you would expect to do exactly neither and never
Also. You have given me the opportunity to EXPOUND and I’m taking it
The sleeve is not only aesthetic, but so EXTRA
CW mutilation: Fox’s right hand index-finger: “Ahsoka’s Gift” - In the arc where Fives (appears) to get shot by Fox, enraged by this and by her treatment by the Coruscant guard during her trial arc, Ahsoka takes revenge on the offending digit that shot the gun. With her teeth, btw — it gets a bit wild. Side-note: It factors in for the other clones that Fox is not right-handed, but that’s the hand he uses to shoot Fives. Then again, most clones are trained/raised/adjusted to be ambidextrous, so — it’s just odd all around, from the outside.
GAR armor: In keeping with the AU title and inspiration (Repurposing GAR armor towards the end of pulverizing wrinkly Sith — A guide by CC-1010, ecstatically-ex-marshal commander of Coruscant), Fox has kept his GAR shoulder-guards, a cutout of his chestplate, and knee-guards (plus one shin-guard), though the paint on them has been adjusted or worn.
Oversized sleeve: Beneath the batwing sleeve and dramatic flair, Fox is hiding whatever the rebellion uses instead of the Mandalorian Whistling Birds, in addition to an elbow-mini-blaster that fires a max of four shots, and extra ammo. (Also the sleeve is removable — think detachable bridal train)
CW self-destruction: On the reverse side of his chest-plate piece, Fox has an explosive device with multiple ways to rig it to explode. While it is detachable and likely could be used to explode OTHER things, the primary intent is a last resort gesture of defiance should he run out of other options.
Fox also has a replaced tooth (which he makes use of, but no spoilers here) and a metal plate protecting the surgery point for when his chip was removed. Since Fox is Fox, he prioritized speed over care at the time, so it is permanent vulnerability due to how his skull was treated and recovered afterward.
Do you see the knifes on his thigh they are small but they are important

The vacation bit just keeps growing out of control, and I had to do my civic duty and put him in tacky beachwear 🏖️
(He's actually in a fantastic mood, with his silly-straw'd dubious coconut drink and dumb tote bag and thrift store slides. He's just squinting down the beach to find the best spot to fry in the sun while face down for three hours)

what does dorian look like? 👀
In response to this ask.
A beautiful, beautiful man.
(if you think he resembles another video game character... you're not wrong)
And so you know exactly what he's up to... [minor spoiler below]

had a dream involving HK and Tanguish in the famous Iliad scene where Hector kisses his son and i woke up feeling like i could chew off both my hands
In the same breath, shining Hector reached down for his son—but the boy recoiled, cringing against his nurse's full breast, screaming out at the sight of his own father, terrified by the flashing bronze, the horsehair crest, the great ridge of the helmet nodding, bristling terror- so it struck his eyes. And his loving father laughed, his mother laughed as well, and glorious Hector, quickly lifting the helmet from his head, set it down on the ground, fiery in the sunlight, and raising his son he kissed him, tossed him in his arms, lifting a prayer to Zeus and the other deathless gods:
"Zeus, all you immortals! Grant this boy, my son, may be like me, first in glory among the Trojans, strong and brave like me, and rule all Troy in power and one day let them say, 'He is a better man than his father!'— when he comes home from battle bearing the bloody gear of the mortal enemy he has killed in war— a joy to his mother's heart."
So Hector prayed, and placed his son in the arms of his loving wife. Andromache pressed the child to her scented breast, smiling through her tears. Her husband noticed, and filled with pity now, Hector stroked her gently, trying to reassure her, repeating her name:
"Andromache, dear one, why so desperate? Why so much grief for me? No man will hurl me down to Death, against my fate. And fate? No one alive has ever escaped it, neither brave man nor coward, I tell you— it's born with us the day that we are born. So please go home and tend to your own tasks, the distaff and the loom, and keep the women working hard as well. As for the fighting, men will see to that, all who were born in Troy but I most of all."

dooms loneliness and self hatred is so fascinating to me because he acts like it is something secret even to himself. yet all his grandeur, his self worship, his gloating, the way he demands his peoples love, the way he demands others respects. it oozes insecurity. it comes off of him in droves. this is why his over top cartoonish villainy and ego ( while genuinely very funny and makes him a versatile character because he genuinely be a light hearted dramatic supervillain and also a deeply sad supervillain) is. so deeply pathetic and sad. it is like he is wearing a giant sign that says “I HATE MYSELF” but he thinks it’s awesome and cool.
his mask that he uses to cover his face ( which he is deeply ashamed of despite ) is apart of a magic suit of armor that protects him. that he also uses to pretend he might be a robot or a god or a concept he hates himself so much that he needs to pretend he is beyond human . like it’s so fuckign sad that. the thing that covers his perceived flaw, was the thing that actually created his “grotesque” scars, literally in an effort to cover up the thing he was ashamed of he only exasperated his own pain and made his “short comings” even more visible
