· If you think Hawk and Odd Ball use every mildly acceptable opportunity to drag race, you’re absolutely right. Most non-mandatory flight exercises are just an excuse to let them go at it.
Helix and Kix have dart guns locked and loaded for any officer or Jedi avoiding sleep or medical. They’re fed up and they’ve got good aim. Once the ‘hours without sleep’ clock hits 24, The Most Dangerous Game begins.
Fives and Ahsoka are loveable hellions and must be kept away from each other when not being supervised. They’re too powerful alone together.
Force help Lux Bonteri if the 501st ever found out he was playing flirt with their Commander Tano. The only men she needs in her life are her dads, grandmaster and limitless supply of older brothers/uncles. No Seppie is dating their ‘Soka.
They are, however, very interested in updates on this Mon Calamari King that Ahsoka has become pen pals with.
One of the most disturbing things these legions have witnessed was not an act of war, but a carnivorous 14 year old taking down a large ungulate on some remote planet and proceeding to tear into it raw…before asking if they’d wanted any.
Tup was in fact not yet in the legion to witness that event and his brothers had the pleasure of watching him alone scream bloody murder at an equally bloody Ahsoka walking back into camp.
If there is a clone pile to snuggle into, Ahsoka will be in the middle of it. If there isn’t, she’s either sleeping on Anakin or Rex, or both.
There’s a running bet between the 501st and 212th on who can get their COs together first. The 501st was dealt a heavy blow when General Kenobi called Commander Cody “dear” during a meeting, but this will not deter them!
Their COs have been together in secret for months and just enjoy watching the men’s not-so-subtle antics. They’ve agreed the next ‘leg-up’ will be Anakin holding on too long after helping Rex up, patting his shoulder and watching the boys silently lose their minds.
Waxer, one of Ghost company’s best scouts, is great at hide-and-seek. Obi-Wan took him to visit the temple creche on leave once, and the man had the time of his life hunting down kids and in turn hearing them get frustrated when they couldn’t find him until he let them.
Longshot is the only one not allowed caf because it seriously screws with his aim.
Fruit is a highly sought commodity when the men are planetside; when all your meals taste like a load of nothing with a hint of cardboard, fresh fruit is like candy. Nevermind actual candy. Fights have broken out over single pieces of candy going missing.
Shaak Ti acts as a way for Ahsoka to have connection with their culture, and when the two go on field trips to Shili they take some men with them as a guard (read: they also get a cultural field trip); there’s a waiting list so everyone gets a turn.
Anakin and Obi-Wan were able to land those little ice cream cups with the wooden spoons as a treat for their troops during a long campaign. Hardcase had twelve and proceeded to have a sugar high that still gives Rex nightmares. It lasted long enough that come time to move they just set him on the Separatist base they were to clear and he did most of the work while laughing like a maniac.
It’s not that Kix and Helix are bad patients, it’s that they don’t trust any of their squadmates to be medics. They will patch themselves as best they can but anything beyond jamming a stim in their necks will be left until the other can arrive to their location. Kix would rather nearly bleed out than trust Fives to put an IV in his arm; he will do it himself or wait for Helix.
Someone once shaved half of Boil’s face but no one has been cruel enough to rat them out.
Wooley has a habit of collecting small soft things, whether or not he means to and whether or not the soft thing is an animal or an object.
Kix has a very pointed preference for breakfast food.
Cody and Rex don’t have favorites—they don’t! The love all their brothers in their own way. One of those ways is in how Echo and Wooley have given them the least headaches.
Pictures are routinely taken (discreetly) for wedding albums, of Obi-Wan falling asleep on Cody’s shoulder and of Anakin and Rex co-parenting their disaster carnivore of a teenager.
Anakin and Ahsoka have absolutely shown the men basic lightsaber forms, both to show off and in a worst case scenario if the men should need to use one.
One of the funniest things to ever happen at a strategy meeting was one Marshal Commander Cody walking in and dropping a heaping armful of robes on the holotable, staring square at one General Kenobi, and deadpanning “You dropped these, Sir.”
