furthering my “anakin and cody are unlikely friends” agenda
anakin and cody are friends but they’d never say that about each other, they will bitch about the other constantly and get into silly pointless arguments with one another if left with too much downtime, but god help the poor soul who agrees with them when one of them is bitching about the other. like:
cody: general skywalker wrecked another ship with his reckless antics and we had to come save him again. what a prick.
random new 212th troop: ya idk what all the fuss about him is. he doesn’t seem all that impressive and doesn’t seem to think anything through
cody: *heart beating fast and practicing breathing exercises* how dare you say that about general skywalker. you think the Hero With No Fear is unimpressive? you think he’s stupid? fuck off. go scrub the hanger and watch your tone.

anakin: what a hard battle, but we won! time to celebrate, maybe cody will remove that stick from his ass and have a good time.
trooper: *hoping to earn some street cred and camaraderie with the general* unlikely, he’s always so miserable. i’m glad i never have to work under him!
anakin: *seeing red* how dare you speak about a superior officer that way. he’s an excellent commander and anyone would be lucky to work with him. just for that you aren’t allowed to get drunk tonight, you are on babysitting duty.

and oohhh if someone tries to jump in while they’re arguing in person? they are met with glares that could kill a man and are instantly the target of ridicule and insults that cannot be repeated.
and it’s like this all the time. like how dare you speak ill of that guy. the only one allowed to speak ill of that guy is me dammit!! it’s very confusing to the general populace.
