We finished playing our Clone Wars campaign about a year ago, and I thought perhaps my clone feelings would fade. And then Debi and I finished watching the Clone Wars a few months ago, and I thought perhaps then my clone feelings would fade.

Nope! it turns out!

Anyway, I made a Clone Wars vid, it's about created humans and free will and the panopticon.

Oh no, clone feels! *sobs*

[skygiants]

probably i should have waited to make this until the new episodes are out but i just did not have the willpower

[hokuton_punch]

THIS IS FINE. I DIDN'T NEED MY HEART FOR ANYTHING TODAY!!

[skygiants]

IT'S OK, I HAVEN'T USED MINE FOR MUCH ELSE FOR MONTHS ;___;

[starlady]

Oh my god, you made the vid! The vid that I could sense so clearly in the show but couldn't figure out how to make and it is great!!!

[skygiants]

[genarti]

i thought i had hit max emotions about this song when catie described it as an utena songcall, and then... this vid! you bastard!!!!

[skygiants]

omg it is an utena songcall though :OOOO

FORTUNATELY, I ALREADY MADE THIS VID and therefore I don't need to make that one!!!

[schneefink]

I have a lot of feelings about clones now. Fives!!!! :(
I mean, I generally have them, but now in particular. Great vid.

[skygiants]

Thank you! I just live in a place of constant clone feelings now apparently D:

We finished playing our Clone Wars campaign

Was this one of Fantasy Flight's Star Wars tabletop games? I recently had the chance to play a one-shot with the Star Wars: Edge of the Empire system; my pre-rolled character was a stormtrooper turned smuggler. (It was fun, although in retrospect I kind of feel bad for our GM, because she had obviously planned to run a serious game and then she got four absolute chaos gremlins for players.)

[skygiants]

We've been using the Wizards of the Coast Saga game! (I had to go look that up because I couldn't remember the system.) They have some stuff specifically designed for the Clone Wars era, and then we were all used to it so we kept up with it in our current campaign, which is Rebels-era, although we considered switching to Edge of the Empire instead.

[shadaras]

ohhhhhhh this is good and also SAD

I thought I had gotten over my clone feeling some but really I guess I just haven't rewatched The Clone Wars lately!

[skygiants]

Thank you! I was hoping that making this vid would exorcise them some, but I am coming to the terms with the fact that here in clone feelings land is where I live for the foreseeable future...

Fives! Heavy! 99! Echo! Waxer!

Rex! Cody!

As Asp said, watching over my shoulder "oh my god, thanks I hate it, wow!"

[skygiants]

THEY'RE ALL GOOD CLONES

[seekingferret]

I love this!

[skygiants]

Thank you!! :D

[goodbyebird]

Oh this I really like! <3

[skygiants]

Thank you so much, I'm glad you like it! :D

[redrikki]

Thanks for all the feels. My god. And some of those transitions hurt like the hole in Fives' chest becoming the hole cut into the wall for his escape. Ow.

[skygiants]

Thank you so much! I have and suspect I will always have A NUMBER of feelings about Fives and the escape he tried so hard for. D:

[petra]

Oh, that was a considerable part of my heart you stomped on with extremely accurate stompy boots. Well done and ow, ow, ow.

[skygiants]

Thank you!! We're all just here, in clone feelings land, getting stomped on...

[stultiloquentia]

I know nothing about Clone Wars, but I love this song, and I love your work, so I watched, and it's incredibly lucid and heartbreaking and gorgeous.

[skygiants]

I had to put my hands over my face when I read this comment. Thank you so much - I'm so glad it worked for you even not knowing the source!!
