I'm so obsessed with this peek at S2 Stede that we got
like he's gonna be so different!!
he'll be less highly strung, he'll have friendly rapport with the crew and not try to prove himself as an authority figure over them anymore, he won't be such a try-hard who has no idea what he's doing, he'll wear regular pirate clothes like this and stop doing his hair perfectly everyday and just allow himself to put himself first, and not an image he has carefully constructed (like husband and father or The Gentleman Pirate) and since he's given up everything he has we're finally gonna find out who stede is underneath all these acts he put on this whole time. He'll get to be charming and look dashing but keep this underlying silliness through it all and oh my god I already worship the very ground S2 Stede walks on.

The existence of this shirt suggests to me that Cody will likely appear in the Obi-Wan Kenobi show, either as a character with a meaningful role or simply in Clone Wars flashbacks. My reasons:
This shirt is currently on the first page of the Her Universe website Star Wars tag. They haven't really added Kenobi print on demand shirt designs yet, but they likely will soon (other sites have started), and I feel its presence jumping to the top of the tag likely implies it will be a part of that collection.
2. This graphic itself is not particularly new, and has been available on print on demand shirts and such on multiple sites including Hot Topic and Her Universe for well over a year now. However, they very recently updated the design. Previously, the division number said the "501st," which is the wrong division, but it's now been corrected to the 212th. I know this because I agonized over whether I should buy this design for a solid month before deciding if it really bothers me I can probably paint over the 501st. I own the wrong number design on a tanktop. Yeah i know it's sad i shoulda waited RIP The relatively recent update of this design along with the fact that they care?? about a detail like the 212th being correct?? suggests to me that maybe, a lot more people are going to become more familiar with these characters in the near future.
In combination with this new kids armor that went up on the Disney store around May 4th that provides further evidence for at least Clone Wars flashbacks:
I conclude that the likelihood of Cody and the 212th at least making noticeable named cameos in the show is relatively high.
why the frick did i write this
I have no life and am procrastinating that's why

HC that Neil wants to cuddle with Andrew while he's reading
So he tries to like sit against his legs but gets bored and just stares at Andrew
And Andrew looks over the pages of his book at Neil and rolls his eyes. But he can't concentrate on his book with Neil staring at him ✨like that✨. So he tells Neil if he wants to cuddle while he's reading Neil needs to read a book too.
But Neil. He has never read a novel in his life. He never had time for books that weren't directly related to his schooling. And he just doesn't even know where to start.
He tries to pick through Andrew's collection of high fantasy novels but he can't get past page 3 in any of them without getting antsy because there is too much world building and the boy is bored.
And Andrew makes it his secret mission to covert Neil into a reader somehow. And the next time Neil finds Andrew reading there is an extra book sitting on the beanbag next to him for Neil.
It's a murder mystery and Neil gets a little further than he did with the fantasy books but only lasts like 10 minutes.
Andrew doesn't say anything to Neil about this but boy is determined to find a book Neil can sit still through.
He secretly recruits Renee to help him and she picks our a space opera. It's sitting on the bean bag the next day.
At this point Neil knows something is up but he's happy to keep trying for Andrew. The space opera is a no-go and after like 10 pages he just passes it back to Andrew, silently shaking his head.
When Andrew relays this info to Renee, they're trying to brainstorm a new genre when Allison walks in.
She gets a romance novel out and when Neil sees it he's very suspicious because he can't imagine Andrew picking this out? But ok.
He gets pretty far into the romance, actually, because it's really fast paced and he keeps picturing Andrew as the broody hero. But actually what stops him is there is so much sex? With people that don't even know each other? Like, where is the trust? Why are these people attracted to people they don't even share car keys with? Demisexual Neil cannot relate.
The rest of the Foxes end up getting involved and all give Andrew books to leave for Neil.
Kevin gives him a historical nonfiction that he literally doesn't make it past the synopsis of.
Dan and Matt think he might fair better with superhero comics but Neil thinks they're too unrealistic.
Nicky tries to give him picture books and like... Neil can get through one fine? But it only takes like 5 minutes so this doesn't really solve the problem?
And it's Aaron, who doesn't want to be involved for the longest time, that finally finds something Neil will read. It is an outdated medical text that talks about treatments for different illnesses.
And all of the other Foxes are like,,,, wtf? This, this is the one? How does this hold his attention.
So they start flipping through it when Neil isn't around to try and figure out why this, of all things, is the one book that will keep Neil still for more than 10 minutes at a time.
And that's when they realize that Aaron had crossed out all the outdated information on all the pages and wrote in really sarcastic comments about what would really happen if a patient was treated this way.

Maverick is twenty-five and drunk and every house on the Naval Base is the same, just as the key to unlock them, apparently. Or at least is what Mav's drunk mind thinks while he enter in his own house by the window because the key isn't working and if he ends up sleeping on the porch he knows Mother Goose is going to kill him. He just knows.
The bed is particularly soft and warm and Mav can't stop himself from smuggling a little between the sheets until he finds the perfect position and the next thing he knows it's morning, the sun is shining inside the bedroom and his head is killing him. The bed is still particularly soft and warm and hard at the same time. It's a strange dichotomy but his brain is just so fucked up right now he could be sleeping on a rock and won't change much. But apparently he isn't sleeping on a rock because he remembers coming back home last night and rocks don't breath. He's 100% sure of that, at least. But this rock isn't just breathing, he's hugging him too, and speaking. Oh god what the fuck he drunk last night?
Mav go back to sleep the rock, that as a voice really similar to Ice's one, says and who is he to say no when he has nowhere else to be? So he snuggles a little more against the rock, with a voice really really similar to Ice's one, and goes back to sleep.
Slider and Goose find them, hours later, still cuddling in Ice's bed and Mother Goose almost screams because what the fuck Maverick I thought you were dead! but Slider can only laugh and snap a picture for posterity.
(Maverick is fifty-one, drunk as he can get and Mother Goose just left him in front of the right house, he hopes. But all the houses on the Naval Base are the same, are they know? And every keys is still opening all the doors, thirty years didn't change that apparently. But this time the key fits the first time and he doesn't even remember how he arrives in his bed but when he does the bed is soft and warm and hard in a strange way and pets his head and kisses his cheek because it's such a good bed and Mav is so so happy to have him home with him.
The next morning the sun is shining in the bedroom and his head is killing him, while everything seems a dejavù of something happen almost thirty years before. Uhuh yes babe, exactly the same way a voice, Ice's, says from his left side and he's laughing a little because seriously the situation couldn't be more hilarious. Mav opens one eye, and only one because the light could really kill him, and looks at Ice before going say and you're as beautiful as the first morning I woke up in the same position. Ice's laugh a little longer and hugs him a little tighter, I'm so glad you lost yourself that night and Mav can't do nothing more than kiss him because he isn't ready to say his husband is right, at least not so soon in the morning.)

Very emotional about the breakfast story in the Gospel of John. Simon, James and John, Thomas, Nathanael, and a few others are out together. Simon says he's going fishing, and the others say they're coming along. They spend all night trying to get a good haul, and they catch nothing. Dawn is breaking, and they see a man on the shore a long way off, but they can't tell who he is. He shouts to them, "You don't have any fish, do you?" They have to shout back a disgruntled, "No." The man replies, "Put the net on the other side and you'll catch some fish!" Maybe they roll their eyes a bit--they're the ones out on the water, and they have been all night, what would he know?--and the fish start flooding into the net.
And John looks at Simon and remembers: this has happened before. Three years ago, before everything changed--that voice had shouted to them the same instruction.
"Simon!!" he says, "It's the Lord!"
And it hits Simon like a thunderbolt. He frantically throws on his coat (he'd stripped for work) and plunges into the water. He'd walked on the water before to meet Jesus, what was swimming a hundred yards? So eager to reach Him he can't wait the few minutes for the boat to come in--and when it gets there, he has to go and help unload the fish anyway. But even those few moments with Jesus are worth the soaking wet robes and the exhaustion. And anyway, He already has a fire going--with some fish of His own. "Come and have breakfast!" He says.
And then they sit and eat together, just like they had done so many times over the past three years, and He's there with them, perhaps gently laughing at Simon, still dripping from his swim, and it's like He never left.
He never truly did.
