niner would hoard photographs like a grandpa you mark my words

Was flicking through my Order 66 notes, and we know Kal has pictures from Kamino of the Nulls and some of his commando squads, including Theta. Photos are important. You don't even usually realize how important until you're looking at them.

You think he shares them with Omega? They would never think to ask, probably wouldn't even realize it was a thing, but I can’t imagine why he wouldn’t if it came up, even if he doesn’t think of it himself. Niner seeing Two-Eight again, and the squad he lost to Geonosis, and being struck by how young they all look to him now (they were, what, physically eighteen when they died? And Two-Eight even younger?), and Darman being able to see Theta, and Fi.

You think he’d have shared those pictures with Fi while he was recovering?

If Vau was the one taking the pictures, that would mean he probably has both of Atin's squads, too. Pictures of Sev. And all the commando squads out there who are the subject of those photos but don't get to know they exist.

There isn't much point to this, lol, it just made me think about these guys seeing those photos the first time.

Watch Atin promptly take up photography with a fervor. ~~Niner puts them on the fridge.~~

Delta calls Sev “psycho” and variations thereof a lot--like, a lot--and I’m gonna half-assedly speculate, ‘cause what the hell else am I going to do with a morning off, really.

This is not meta this is just giggles.

My absolute favorite scene in 501st is the one where the Nulls go to retrieve Niner and Darman only to have them both behave like cats who wanted the door open:

Jaing knows what’s up. He’s not wrong. They really are the two most dramatic members of Omega squad. Darman of the “I’m going to kick my sergeant out of the crashing aircraft against orders” school of thought and Niner, Mr. “We’ll believe Darman’s dead when HELL FREEZES OVER” and “I’m gonna FIGHT A NULL over ETHICS in the MIDDLE OF A MISSION I don’t GIVE a FUCK”.

This is going to be a five act tragecomedy if it kills them, basically. They know no other way.

Order 66 Chapter 9 My Beloved

Okay, I can talk about an Order 66 thing now.

I think Niner is one of the only characters in the series we see able to go toe-to-toe with Kal, and I wanted to talk about it. That’s it, that’s the post.

Here’s why:

The chapter header is from THE biggest manipulator in the Star Wars franchise, about how he does what he does. I don’t think it’s a coincidence that it leads into the chapter where Kal Skirata, self-confessed manipulator extraordinaire, is forced to face actual consequences for just a few of his shittier actions. The chapter is supposed to be about Darman vs Kal Skirata, but actually the confrontation that interested me the most was the one he had with Niner.

One of my favorite Gaftikar subplots is A’den deciding that he and Atin are going to be best friends. Atin’s permission not required.

It’s like watching A’den try his damnedest to make friends with the world’s meanest cat.

I collected the whole thing.

All right, so this is one of those scenes where I could never quite figure out the motivations, but I think I have an idea now?

Skirata makes a point to note that before this they had zero problems from Boss. He was taking his tasking well and wasn’t rocking the boat with anyone. He was calm and professional, if not content. It’s only now that he starts getting agitated. Why?

Something I forgot:

Fi's thing about control.

Man does NOT like when the reins are out of his hands. And he can get snippy about it, too:

Including seconds before this when Fi was privately backseat sassing Scorch's setting of the charges even though Scorch was doing literally nothing wrong. Grumpy boy.

So I started my TripZip re-read with the Targets short because 1) timeline and 2) who’s gonna stop me

and while I was reading there was that whole scene where Kal Skirata decides to go in as a hostage and Ordo is like “uh...don’t?” and skirata’s like “nah i’m gonna” and then does and then fi almost shoots him and spends the rest of forever feeling horrifically guilty about it? I have thoughts about that. I’m still not entirely sure where I’m going with this but...uh...
