Something Other, But Space Social Media

Summary:

Commander Gree:
The top three milestones every shiny must pass:
Surviving their first battle.
Painting their armor.
Hearing their Generals curse for the first time.

Commander Ponds:
The first time General Windu said "fuck" in front of me I almost died on the spot.

ARC Fives:
the 501st is officially substituting number three for "being bitten by the commander"

(Or, my personal cure for writer's block is this bullshit.)

Notes:

You might want to read the existing, actual plot fics because nothing that happens in this AU (ex where tf obi-wan and anakin are) will be explained here. This could be considered "still canon" within the universe of this AU, but nothing here will affect anything in the plot. its just stupid nonsense to help me get thru writers block and to give you guys something to tide you over when im working on a more difficult scene. read this if you want more of this dysfunctional fucking family while you wait

(See the end of the work for more notes.)

Wolffe:

[video]

[Video Description: The text "everything wrong with our Jedi", followed by a series of headshots of various Jedi Generals with accompanying text. First is Plo Koon, with "nothing <3". Then Aayla Secura, with "simp immune". Then Mace Windu, with "old". Then Qui-Gon Jinn, with "deadbeat". The format changes for the last one. It's a grainy video of an unidentified, helmeted clone trooper with 501st blue paint. A blur drops from the ceiling and tackles them to the floor. It's Ahsoka. The text reads "rabid".]

 

Fox:

Everyday I thank the force that Chancellor Amidala is normal.
