the oldest (gen 1) clones were only 26 (13) at the end of the war

what if you were a baby cadet watching your older brothers go off to fight the war you were created for and you looked up to them with such reverence that you never wanted to cut your hair differently or mark yourself uniquely because you wanted to look just like them and you wanted to make them proud even if you never saw them again (you have 3.3 million brothers) so you read protocol manuals under the covers at night to make sure you were always ready for any variable and dreamed of becoming an advanced recon commando not for the accolades or the reputation but because it was only given to soldiers of exceptional service to the republic and you would die for your brothers, for the republic (you will) and then what if your selfless noble sacrifice was taken away and you were made a prisoner of war against your knowledge while you were unconscious and cryo frozen for two years and used as a weapon against the very system you sacrificed yourself for and when you woke up three of your limbs were replaced with cybernetic implants and you looked nothing like your 3.3 million brothers anymore (your twin is dead and you can't even find him in the mirror)

i forget often that the batch are clone commandos and if they didn't have genetic enhancements they'd be wearing those big ass katarn helmets with the neon visors

i make fun of this freak to death for hero worshipping rex so bad but then i rewatch a distant echo and see his face when he says rex ? you came back for me ? all disoriented and malnourished and covered in ice crystals from the stasis chamber and i shut my ass up

brother remind me to meta echo re: isolation and why/how it manifests in claustrophobia + ptsd symptoms. i hope hes never alone again personally

[ct14o9]

all clones are inherently ambidextrous or whatever but they still all clearly favor their right hand as seen in like every instance ever so its very dear to me to imagine echo learning how to use the only limb he has left, being his non dominant hand, to do absolutely everything with and while it would/should be a process of time and relearning everything with care you know he jumps into it like he can't waste any downtime not utilizing it to perfection. echo training grip strength in his left hand every day until he can pull his entire weight up with it but neglects ever learning how to write again in favor of comms and screens so his handwriting is horrifically illegible

need to meta next about echo's arm attachments bc the hot toys attachments crack me the fuck up.........what do you mean there's a jackhammer arm

also....the entire escape plan of using the growth chambers........."at least you're not doubled up" yessss mask your trauma re: being claustrophobic and isolated in a tube with dry wit aimed towards your brother who physically and painstakingly and carefully unhooked you from wires and ports yessss hide how much intense comfort it actually gave you to be doubled up with him and how being alone in that situation would have triggered crazy ptsd

destruction of tipoca city aaaaaaa watching the closest thing you have to a home be completely obliterated when despite every trauma packed into it its still whatever version of a childhood you had and a symbol of brotherhood aaaaaa you've already lost everything else might as well destroy the last remaining shred of familiarity of where you came from in a galaxy that now wants you abandoned and destroyed too

my brother in christ you traded found family comfort in the marauder for this

"echo killjoy" lalala fingers in my ears echo still holding onto hope every chance he gets echo being the first one on his feet to save someone in need echo's silent mannerisms like a hand on the shoulder or big sad eyes or private smiles echo taking instant and immediate care of omega's safety echo's undying relentless loyalty to his brothers echo who wants to better the galaxy and if he looks grumpy that day forgive him he was puzzle pieced back together and never asked to come back a second time because if he was going to go out he wanted it to be in an act of self sacrifice for his brothers and it was and then it was made redundant sorry he's a little sour today but he'll still get up and make your life better

The reason Echo needed to be doubled up in a pod.

Immediately thought of this when I saw him start to sadly paddle with his one hand
