I'm sorry, but this image from High Ground Animation from their much anticipated Tukk Tales project just screams,

Roy: "Tukk, why did you issue a 800000 credit charge to the Republic?!?!" 💢

Tukk: "Roy, I'm a material trooper." ✨️

Roy: "I'm asking for a transfer!"

I'm so excited for this short film, I literally don't have the words. Which is saying a lot when you take into account that I'm a seasoned writer.

I'm so happy that HGA has joined the Tumblr Verse.

@highgroundanimations

LMAOOO I love this!!

Thank you so much! 🥰🥰 Excited to show you all the final film! Still a LOT of work, but it's gonna be so fun!

(The clone with the datapad is called Checklist btw 😁 More on him soon....)

I'm dying. Checklist is already one of my favorites, that's hilarious.

I need more infos, does he love his datapad so much as Tech?

Why do I get the feeling that Checklist and Echo would be good friends @highgroundanimations

Rex and his favourite vod'ika (don't tell fives)

Captains Rex, Howzer & Gregor

this is a confession to the star wars fandom because I have to get this off my chest. last summer just for fun I taught myself to read aurebesh and. you fanartists have Got to Continue putting the most Hilarious stuff into the background of your art because it is literally my favorite thing

here’s a couple of excellent things I’ve read since I started keeping a list just last month:

- “I hate drawing lightsabers”

- “Idk what to put here”

- “stupid fucking sign”

- “eat paste, it’s good”

- an entire news article on a phone screen which I actually found really impressive

- a few funny misspellings but the best one so far was ahsoka somehow becoming “asock”

- wanted poster of obi wan that read “wanted for fashion crimes”. the caption translated it as “wanted for high treason”. like blatantly lying to my face. love it.

- door on a ship was labeled “cake storage”

- “shopping list: frogs, hair gel, lightsaber polish”

and my personal favorite:

- “if you’re reading this you’re a fucking nerd”

I don't think people understand how wild the 501st probably is day to day. I get that they're in a war and both jedi and clone upbringings enforce a certain amount of professionalism but come on, this is a battalion of 20-something year olds led by another 20-something year old with a single teenager thrown into the mix. Like have you ever MET a 20 year old? One time I told my older cousin he should come swimming in the lake with us and all he said was "ok" and then he jumped off the front of the boat while doing a flip. Under what circumstances would a group with vibes like that NOT be absolutely chaotic?

I'm not just talking about prank wars and goofing around with each other and all that, I'm talking about stupid shit like this too

Fives: what if we jumped off the roof onto fast moving speeders

Hardcase: make it a competition and I’m in

Ahsoka: I’m in for sure

Anakin: sounds like a plan. Ahsoka, you and I will take turns catching the boys who miss

Obi-wan and Cody in the background: *concerned panicking noises*

Bold of you to assume Cody wouldn't join them

Cody, jumping off the roof and sticking his 50th landing: this is completely irresponsible and dangerous behavior, I am disappointed in all of you

why did rex send hardcase of all people on a stealth mission

Rex, battle-hardened warrior and experienced leader: I think I’ll send my two most talkative and enthusiastic troopers on a stealth mission. Together. Where they’ll most likely rebound off each other and make even more of a commotion. Yeah sounds good :)

They cancel out each others chaotic energy

Cody: this mission calls for stealth. I will send my two very competent scout troopers Waxer and Boil.

Rex: Hardcase and Fives won’t shut up so Im sending them on a stealth mission so I can have 10 minutes of peace.

i think it would be really funny if Rex and Cody never reconnected after Order 66 but Cody did go to Tatooine and live with Obi-Wan because it means the way Rex finds out Cody survived would be through Luke

Luke meeting Rex and being like “woah you look like Cody!!” and Rex is SO fucking flabbergasted. “YOU KNOW CODY??!”

and then Luke goes onto explain that, yeah, he knows Cody!! he babysat him when Cody’s husband went out of town. and that is how Rex finds out Obi-Wan and Cody got together after the war

Love that they put “a sense of impending doom” as one of the symptoms of a heart attack, like girl, that’s just how it is to be alive these days, you’re gonna have to be more specific

This made me chuckle but after scrolling away I felt the need to come back to it.

Because as someone who has felt this I can not stress how different it actually is from anxiety. Which is saying a lot because I have a massive anxiety disorder.

I've only felt this twice in my life - once when I was going into kidney failure due to an infection and again when my body was going into shock due to dehydration and malnourishment due to GI issues - and I can not stress how much it saved my life. It's hard to even put it into words. It's not like a panic attack, or anxiety. It is a horrific gut turning feeling of absolute dread.

Especially if you have anxiety you'll know the difference honestly. It's so much worse. It's every cell in your body and your brain screaming that there's something horribly wrong in a way you've never felt. It's your brain screaming out that you are going to die in a way no panic attack has ever done before.

I can not stress how important it is to get yourself to the ER if you feel this way. Especially if your having other physical symptoms.

This is amazing and incredibly helpful, oh my god. Thank you.

Thanks billion-year-old survival engine within us that is more fundamental than the soul

HOLY SHIT, IT WAS THE ORIGINAL ONE

MAKE A WISH

the first post ever on tumblr

I WAS EXPECTING IT TO BE A REMAKE OF SOME SORT HOLY FUCK

WHO THE FUCK KEEPS BRINGING THIS BACK

World Heritage Post

like actually though. i’m in AWE of the notecount.

Reblogging for future hits of serotonin…

star wars, but it’s just the memes

It is canon that Fives is a terrible liar; he can’t lie his way out of a paperbag

Everyone knows it, including Hardcase who steps forward when he sees Fives about to open his mouth

Hardcase on the other hand is a silver-tongued lie-smith, Fives is like “bro even I believe you”

Even when all he has to say is “yes, sir, that’s how it happened” Fives sucks, badly

Bonus: Rex’s Are-You-Shitting-Me face he reserves for these special moments with Fives

If your 13 or older and still sleep with a stuffed animal please rb this im tryna prove a point to my friend.

Basic Guide to Clone Trooper Armour

I don’t know about you guys, but I have a hard time keeping the terms for various parts of clone armour straight in my mind. So, I decided to make this Guide To Armour, to make my life easier for those times I’m drawing or writing stuff and need to reference what this, that or the other piece is called, how it’s put on or taken off. (I’ve also tried to include/come up with some casual or slang terms for some parts because you cannot seriously expect these guys to use the Right Proper Terminology for everything all of the time.)

This is based on the Clone Wars cartoons, because that’s what I know best. Also, this is just the standard armour of regular troopers; if y’all want something about the possible additions/variations that you could have then lmk and I’ll see what I can put together I guess?

Note: a lot of this terminology is taken from medieval knights’ armour. Many terms are originally French; alternative names provided where possible. I did do a bit of research on medieval plate armour, which is the closest thing I can think of to clone armour, but I am by no means an expert so if you have any input or corrections feel free to @ me. Likewise, if you’ve cosplayed as a clone trooper or stormtrooper, I’d very much like to hear about your experience wearing this stuff, how it moves and how it might be similar or different to the “real thing” so to speak.

Figure 1: Clone trooper armour, front view. Kix got chosen for this because he’s a vain little bastard and loves to be painted. (ETA: this diagram now comes with a second, funnier version.)

THE CLONE WARS 4.05: Mercy Mission

Another "Crown" piece! This time, Echo gets his crown. I plan to give Wrecker and Rex crowns as well.

My favorite thing is that Europe is spooky because it’s old and America is spooky because it’s big

“The difference between America and England is that Americans think 100 years is a long time, while the English think 100 miles is a long way.” –Earle Hitchner

A fave of mine was always the american tales where people freaked out because ‘someone died in this house’ and all the europeans would go ‘…Yes? That would be pretty much every house over 40 years old.’

‘…My school is older than your entire town.’

‘Sorry, you think *how far* is okay to travel for a shopping trip?’

*American looks up at the beams in a country pub* ‘Uh, this place has woodworm, isn’t that a bit unsafe?’ ‘Eh, the woodworm’s 400 years old, it’s holding those beams together.’

A few years ago when I was in college I did a summer program at Cambridge aimed specifically at Americans and Canadians, and my year it was all Americans and one Australian.  We ended the program with a week in Wessex, and on the last day as we all piled onto the bus in Salisbury (or Bath? I can’t remember), the professors went to the front to warn us that we wouldn’t be making any stops unless absolutely necessary.  We’re headed to Heathrow to drop off anyone flying off the same day, then back to Cambridge.

“All right, it’s going to be a long bus ride, so make sure you’re prepared for that.”

We all brace ourselves.  A long bus ride?  How long?  We’re Americans; a long bus ride for us is a minimum of six hours with the double digits perfectly plausible.  We can handle a twelve hour bus ride as long as we get a bathroom break.

The answer.  “Two hours.”

Oh.

English people trying to travel around Australia and wildly underestimating distance are my favourite thing

a tour guide in France told my school group that a particular cathedral wouldn’t interest us much because “it’s not very old; only from the early 1600s”

to which we had to respond that it was still older than the oldest surviving European-style buildings in our country

China is both old and big. I had some Chinese colleagues over; we were discussing whether they wanted to see the Vasa ship (hugely expensive war ship which sank on it’s maiden voyage after 12 min). They asked if it was old, I said “not THAT old” (bearing in mind they were Chinese) “it’s from the 1500s.” To my surprise they still looked impressed, nodding enthusiatically. Then I realised I’d forgotten something: “…I mean it’s from the 1500s AFTER the birth of Christ” and they went “oh, AFTER…”.

My dad’s favorite quote from various tours in Italy was “Pay no attention to the tower – it was a [scornful tone] tenth century addition.”

My last boss was Chinese, and she said when her parents came to visit her from Beijing they pronounced Chicago “A very nice village.” 

This post keeps getting better

European problems include:

- Missing a turn and now you need to cross the border;

- Towns built 500 to 800 years ago with really small roads where cars can barely fit;

- That road/parking lot/etc they were building is gonna take twice the time to finish because they found Roman ruins AGAIN!

European problems extended: 

 WW2 bombs.

I love this post but also hate it because people never acknowledge the structures of native and indigenous people in America and Canada. We literally have pyramids here in Illinois that are thousands of years old.

There is stuff here from the Aztecs, but since it wasn’t made by settlers people think that America is only as old as when Europeans came over.

The population that got wiped out and displaced by Europeans is still here and needs to be acknowledged. America and Canada aren’t “young” and have more history than most ppl acknowledge.

RT only for the last post. 

[Image description: headlines of WWII bombs either exploding unexpectedly in European towns and cities or being found during road works. /ID]

I went walking on some public footpaths in England and everyone was like “oh this one was a Roman roads, these are so ancient!” and I ended up cranky because there are ancient or at least hundred of year old roads in the Americas, we just don’t pay attention to them because Colonization.

To be clear - I don’t have any issue with OP’s statement (or even any of the reblogs). Im just cranky at the US educational system. And boomers, a little.

Where do you think the oldest shoes in the world are? China? Greece? Iraq?

they’re from Oregon:
