anyway i need to rewatch the clone wars series bc i just really like clone troopers as characters
all of them are wrestling with the fundamental issue of the purpose they were born for, and all operate in this space of "nobody really cares about us, except *us*; it's a welcome shock when someone sees you as an actual person like they are, but don't get used to it. in the end, you only have your brothers", which is just... interesting and often profound
i may also just be wanting to write the one clone trooper oc i have, Helena of Nightshrike squad
who is, as you might imagine, trans. mostly i want to write all the other clones completely accepting it as routine lol. y'know, you get picked out for specializations; you could be a gunner, or a medic, or something else, Helena just took the Girl specialization along with grenadier. i mean she's got the piece of paper saying she's recognized by law to know how to wield that lipstick and everything
