Never Jump Scare an Imperial

Imperials and Jump Scare pranks (For this list, it's going to involve Commandant Aresko, Taskmaster Grint, Lieutenant Lyste, Agent Kallus, and Grand Admiral Thrawn. I will be sure to make a second list or so to add more imperials.)

Aresko and Grint: You'd have to catch them real off guard to scare them out of their wits. An example being if they're kind of just watching a classic horror movie and are paying so much attention to it, you'd have to go with the element of surprise. A good way to do this is by suddenly swinging a door open when there's a thunderstorm outside and its dark. And if you're lucky and time it at the right time, you can definitely say that it is extremely possible to see someone's soul leave their bodies.

Lyste: The best jump scare prank to pull on Lyste would be the classic spider-tied-to-a-string in a cupboard prank. Everyone learned this when Slavin had been planning on the prank to be set off by Kallus, but it was Lyste who fell for it. Because the next thing anyone knew, there was the sound of the cupboard door being opened, and then Lyste screaming and falling on his back as he's crawling backwards away from the fake spider, looking like a deer caught in headlights.

Kallus: Go inside a room with the lights turned off and hide in a closet or find a box big enough for a person to hide in. And if you change your hiding place every time, you are sure to get him jumping sky high. It gets him every time.

Thrawn: Thrawn doesn't partake in pranks. He deems as being nothing but childish nonsense. However, that doesn't mean that he hasn't had his fair share of falling for any pranks. The incident that is most talked about is the fake insect in the shoe one. He was putting his boots on when he noticed that his left boot felt kind of weird and his foot was definitely touching something that wasn't there before. So, what ended up happening was that he reached into his boot and pulled out whatever it was that was in there. And when he opened his palm, it was something equivalent to a giant roach. But what made it even worse was that this one.... wasn't fake. It was real. Thrawn had yelled something in Cheunh, and then there was the sound of him shooting at the insect.

Fun fact for the day

Grint sometimes wanders around the city when he has nothing better to do. And often finds people trying to get him to sign up for things that he's not all that interested in.

It happens on a regular basis too, and he gets more and more annoyed as the day progresses.

Once an elderly woman selling these little homemade rolls saw him and she called out to him when his back was turned.

Grint immediately got annoyed, yet as he turned around to glare at whoever was bothering him this time, he paused to see the woman before him, as she presented a box of rolls to him, asking if he would like to buy some.

When she noticed how tall he was, she commented on it. Saying that he reminded her of her grandson, who she hasn't seen in a while.

Of course, that definitely melted Grint's heart way more than it should, and he ended up buying all of the rolls.

When he got back to the academy, Aresko, Tua and Kallus were staring at him like he lost his mind. Until Grint couldn't handle it anymore and started bawling and telling them about the woman he bought all the rolls from.

Yeah...he has a weakness for sweet grandmas. It reminds him too much of his own grandmas from both his mom and dad's sides of the family.

How would the imperials react to a s/o that's shorter than them?

How would the imperials react to a s/o that has bad anxiety?

How would the imperials react to a s/o that's a cuddly cinnamon roll, but also scary when angry?

Please include Admiral Konstantine

I kinda combined both the first ask with the third, because I honestly think they fit together. I will make a separate post for the second ask to avoid this one getting too long.

1. Imperials react to a s/o who is short, yet is also a cuddly cinnamon roll who is terrifying when angry

Admiral Konstantine - He is more or less kind of partially to blame for when you're angry, because this man honestly says the wrong things when you are in the area. And may the ancient ones help him if whatever nonsense he says comes back to you. It's also worse because a lot of your fellow officers kind of treat you as if you're a child because you are rather short for your age (even when the boots are designed to make whoever's wearing them be at least a few inches taller than what they are.) Konstantine tries his best to make you calm down, and surprise, it works. Because even though you glare daggers at him for half the things he says, you can never stay mad at him. You also get back at him for making you mad by constantly clinging onto him and just being cuddly when he's trying to be serious, though he eventually caves. He always does.

Taskmaster Grint - He finds it adorable. Grint is the type of man who loves small things, because he finds them to be adorable. So, when you came into his life, and when he found out that you are a cuddle bug, he feels like he has just witnessed something amazing. When he sees you angry however, even he's a little terrfied because he could never imagine something so cute, be so....angry. When your anger is not directed towards anyone though, and you're more or less just ranting on about something that doesn't make sense to you, he is definitely just thinking about how lucky he is to have such an adorable s/o. Be warned though, he does like to wrap you up in blankets and just carry you around the house sometimes, so even if you aren't the one to initiate cuddles, you have to start expecting him to be the one to do so. However, you do not mind since cuddling with Myles just means you get to spend more time with him than focusing on blasted paperwork all day.

Lieutenant Lyste - Baby boy Lyste often has to hold you back when you're in a fit of fury caused by someone who rubbed you the wrong way. He has to tell you multiple times that the person you want to flay alive is not worth it, until you calm down. When he learns that you also live for cuddles, that gives him a bit of an idea. So, what ended up happening the next time you were being an indignant tornado of fury, was that he simply held you in his arms and just started snuggling the heck out of you. Giving you kisses, the whole nine yards. This proves very effective and you're more or less putty in his hands and happily cuddling him back while everyone else is just like "what the hell just happened???"

Grand Admiral Thrawn - This man, honestly finds your anger to be amusing. He honestly doesn't take you seriously sometimes when you are angry, but don't take it personally. Because after you are done with your tangent of rage, he will actually look into it personally to make sure that whatever it is that you were going off about is actually true facts. And if it was, he would be sure to deal with it himself. However, don't try to be cuddly with him, because he turns into an unbendable statue when you try. It's not like he doesn't enjoy it when you try to be cuddly with him, it's just that he doesn't know what to do. The best that he will do is wrap his arms around you and keep you close, but that's about it.

Captain Slavin - Slavin often tries his best to not get on your bad side, because he knows that the chances of you exploding on him are dangerously high, even though he knows that you love him. He doesn't mind that you are cuddly, but please do not try and be cuddly with him in public, because he doesn't handle PDA very well. He's rather awkward about it. Also, help the poor soul who dares try to insult him when you are around. Because hell hath no fury like someone who hears their s/o being insulted. Especially when that person is you.

Minister Tua - Not going to lie, she often finds your outbursts to be annoying sometimes, even when they are justifiable. But she doesn't say so aloud, because she's honestly worried that if she were to tell you such a thing, that she might unintentionally hurt you. Which she doesn't want. But, when she does bring it to your attention that she wants you to learn to control your outbursts, and lets you know how she feels when you have one, you immediately start apologizing for annoying her, and she just responds by hugging you. Which in turn causes you to try and initiate cuddles, and she gradually accepts them with a slightly defeated sigh.

Commandant Aresko - The poor man is honestly terrified, even when your own parents had warned him about your temper that can even scare the skin off of a rancor. Granted he has found himself at the receiving end of your wrath, more than one occasion that has left him in the infirmary. However, he knows of your love for cuddles. So, what ends up happening, is that when you tackle him to the floor on the intent of releasing your anger, he wraps his arms around you and just holds you against him until you calm down. (Even if he has to handle getting his arms scratched and you trying to bite his face. But he loves you.)

What Imperials would name their children (SWR edition)

(I'm going to be including some Imperials from the OG Trilogy too, so...yeah this list is going to be separated into probably two parts. Also, these are just my preferred names, so if you think that they'd name their children something different....good for you.)

Captain Slavin

A father of two. A rambunctious eleven year old boy named Viktor, and a seven year old girl named Raven.

Yogar Lyste

He currently only has a five year old daughter. Because he and his wife couldn't decide on what to name her, they decided to name her Lavender because the color of the bundle she was wrapped in was....lavender purple.

Cumberlayne Aresko

In Aresko's case, he has three kids. Twin boys named Kellan and Lycan who are both 16 (with Kellan being the oldest by 4 minutes), and a 5 year old daughter named Luna. His sons take pride at being in their words a lot cooler than their old man, and will gladly nuke anyone's existance if someone made their baby sister cry. They're the reason he's worn out most of the time, but he loves them.

Myles Grint

A six-and-and-a-half son named Jaune, who is often seen following Viktor, Raven, Luna and Lavender around. A bit tall for his age, he took to sports kind of early. His first sport was field hockey.

Maketh Tua

She is also the proud mama of twins. A boy named Orion and a girl named Artemis. Artemis is smart yet shy, while Orion is smart and more open-minded. She takes absolute pride that her kids inherited her wit and intelligence.

Thrawn

Okay...so Thrawn has always been too busy to think about having children of his own. So instead, he's raising his nine year old neice Areyn. His brother just kinda dropped her off one day, with a note explaining that he needed Thrawn to keep her safe until things in the Unknown Regions have calmed down. Which, fair enough. Thrawn adores, and cherishes his neice more than life itself. He has taken a lot of holopics and videos of her and happily shows them to anyone, weither they want to see them or not.

Konstantine

He has a son he named Fennec. Fennec...well he doesn't like his dad. At all. Konstantine doesn't understand why, but one contributing factor could be that the man forced Fennec into a lot of extra-curricular activities. All of which happened at the same time. Because of this, Fennec hasn't had to form any relationships, or keep friendships because he's always too busy!

The Inquisitor

Surprise, surprise, he has a child. Though she's more like his adopted daughter, but still his either way. Her name is simply Emil. A pre-teen, force sensitive girl who mostly keeps to herself and doesn't like confrontations.

Governor Pryce

A son named Keith. Keith doesn't really see eye-to-eye with his mom on most things. Mostly this whole war with the Rebellion and whatnot. A star student at the Imperial Academy, he also keeps to himself. As a way of rebelling against his mom, he's something of a delinquent...if you can even call him that.

Brom Titus

Now Titus' son Benny is a delinquent. The boy gets into fights, and is incredibly off-standish. This is because he has been bullied a lot because of his name, and because of his dad often getting demoted. If he sees anyone bullying anyone, he will immediately go over and put an end to it. This has caused him to gain a bit of a following from kids younger than him, for he's always seen walking with an entourage following after him..

[swimperialimagines]

Animals/things Imperials are scared of

(For anyone in need of a good laugh.)

Grand Admiral Thrawn

Rats. Oh boy does he not like rats. He doesn't care if they're the domesticated ones either. How this became a fear, was that he was at a weekly meeting with other commanding officers.

Something fluffy, and half the size of a mouse droid skitters across the room, which is noticed by Thrawn for he had suddenly stopped talking and was now staring at the adjacent wall.

Slavin used a small pen light to shine some light in the corner, and all everyone saw was a salt and pepper colored rat by the wall, staring at them.

Before anyone had a chance to get a word in, the small animal raced across the floor and right towards Thrawn.

He didn't scream mind you, but he did jump onto the desk, with an expression that made him look as if he was silently flipping out.

Konstantine was laughing, while Slavin and Kallus were trying to catch the animal. By closer inspection, Kallus realized that the intruder was domesticated and probably a civilian's pet. As he tried to show it to Thrawn, the grand admiral backed away.

Yogar Lyste and Captain Slavin

Both boys don't like bats. Slavin has a chronic fear of them, while Lyste hates them because of diseases. So what ended up happening, is that someone forgot to close a window, and a baby bat came flying into the room and flying all over the place.

Slavin was automatically screaming as he dived underneath a table with his arms over his head, while Lyste was chasing after the bat, carrying a blanket, and trying to catch it, with comedic results.

Now when it comes to Lyste, he doesn't like most reptiles, mostly snakes. He doesn't like how they flick their tongues, and how scaley they are. If he sees one coming towards him (even if it's a harmless, ball python), he would try to get somewhere high so that the snake won't get near him. Unfortunately for him, most snakes can slither up and down objects, so it often takes him some time to find the perfect place to get away.

Cumberlayne Aresko

Aresko isn't a huge fan of anything with a lot of legs. One such being the centipede. And there's a story of how this fear came into existence.

When he was about five or six, he had to bring his dad a face towel after he was done shaving. As he was walking towards the refresher room, his foot touched something. Something smooth, slimy, and wiggling, and very much alive.

Looking down, he saw this giant centipede right by his foot. And just like any other little kid, he screamed. Very loudly. In fact, he was screaming so loud that Grint's father heard him from outside, and had kicked open the door just to get to him and figure out what was wrong.

Aresko was practically a huge crying mess at this point as his own dad ran out into the living room, and the minute he saw the centipede about to slink away, the man took out his blaster and shot it.

Ever since then, he has harbored a huge fear over them. Grint has often memed on him a lot for it, but Aresko only reminded him of his own fear that surfaced when he was a kid....

Myles Grint

Clowns. When Myles was seven, his mother thought it would be a great idea to throw him a birthday party. She even hired a clown as entertainment for the kids.

Since Myles has never seen a clown before, and when the man showed up, he felt as if time slowed down, and not in a good way.

The guy had also gotten in front of him and had just smiled really big and asked if he was the birthday boy, everything just caved and poor Myles booked it back inside and upstairs to his room.

Aresko and Tua searched for him, only to find that he locked himself into his closet and won't come out until Aresko assured him that it was just him and Tua.

The guy has been deathly afraid of clowns ever since.

Maketh Tua

Spiders. I've actually mentioned this is fear in my Movies that scared Imperials when they were Younger (or in general) post. But never explained it in much depth.

So Lothal doesn't have many spiders, so Tua never really saw them as much. However, she had went to Naboo and saw one making a web in a corner or a wall. It wasn't big mind you, but it was big enough to see the details on it's body.

So how did she grow a fear of them? A spider landed on her shoulder and she didn't notice it until she felt something weird and tickly on her hand. Looking down, she saw it and not a second later, she freaked out.

[swimperialimagines]

Fun fact for the day: Earth AU

Aresko once got roped into watching Titanic one too many times, and Grint once found him playing "My Heart will Go On" and the main theme of the movie on a flute out of boredom.

He actually memorized entire musical pieces from the movie to the last note and can play it flawlessly!

How Imperials acted as children Part 1

Grand Admiral Thrawn

Thrawn was known to be a bit of a wild child.

His brother Thrass had to keep an eye on him when they were still fairly young, and often had to put him in a leash and harness so he wouldn't go running off and getting into trouble.

He also had a love for pulling practical jokes on others. Which he was quick to flee the minute someone learns he was the one who's done it.

As he was growing up, he kind of....mellowed out. He became more serious, and more jaded. It confused everyone around him, and a lot of the elders often commented that while the change was surprising, they actually missed how he was as a child.

Lieutenant Yogar Lyste

Shy boy. He was never seen without some type of comforter with him as a kid. His favorite one had to be a little stuffed animal that he carried around with him from age 4 all the way to when he was 12.

He was often left out of team games because of how shy he was. The other kids considered him to be weird and just socially outcasted him. So naturally, he would just go and play alone in the grass, watch the insects through a magnifying glass. (I didn't mean to end up rhyming there. It just happened.)

Whenever someone did try to befriend him, their friendship never lasted long because they would immediately find a way to abandon him the minute they no longer felt like hanging out with him. Lyste's parents often saw him coming home, and silently crying to himself.

Taskmaster Myles Grint 

Grint, like Lyste didn’t have many friends growing up. The only person that he had was Aresko since they lived next to each other. He was often bullied by others, which he responded to by getting into fights. Myles was suspended nearly four times for fighting with the other kids, and was placed in a storm trooper cadet squadron instead of being trained as an actual officer like Aresko was. What he lacked in intelligence, he made up for with his brute physical strength. Even as a twelve year old, he was surprisingly strong. 

Commandant Cumberlayne Aresko

Aresko had to grow up too early. His family was in poverty, due to his father being laid off at his job, and his mother not really being a good parental figure.  When he was barely seven years old, he found his father dead, having committed suicide after falling over the edge of depression, due to not being able to fully support his family. His mother ended up leaving him in his grandparents’ care as she left Lothal, thus leaving him behind. At the age of twelve, he almost fell into depression and even considered taking his own life, but was saved by Grint, who quite literally, knocked some sense back into him. Aresko also got roped into joining the Empire when he was sixteen, and managed to break free from his depression. However, he still has trouble falling asleep at night, which is evident from the dark circles around his eyes....

Captain Slavin

Slavin was really into Rock and Metal music as a kid. The louder, the better. There have been many cases where his father would catch him headbanging to metal and singing along to the music, using his hairbrush as a microphone. It would probably take him about five minutes to finally notice his father staring at him with an amused look on his face, and Slavin suddenly pausing mid-sentence as his own face turned red. (Also his father may or may not have a bunch of photos and videos of little preteen Slavin jamming out.) 

[swimperialimagines]

Unauthorized embraces

"Are you okay?" The female voice pierced the semi-silence, and Aresko turned to face Tua as she approached him, wearing a winter parka in contrast to her regular uniform.

A massive snow storm had hit Capital City overnight, and all officers were instructed to wear their winter uniform. Though despite now wearing more layers of clothing, it was plain to see that Aresko wasn't fully adapting to the freezing temperature.

"Well, my uniform consists of a scarf, a thin cardigan, and a trench coat. I haven't been able to feel my hands for the past twenty minutes. So you figure it out." Aresko bit back rather bitterly as he buried his faced into his scarf and glared out at nothing in particular.

Tua stared at the grumpy commandant for a moment before a slight smile appeared on her face, and she crossed her arms over her chest.

"Sounds like you need a warm hug." She responded and Aresko turned his glare towards her.

"Touch me, and I'll have you buried under the snow...."

Tua laughed and shook her head lightly. "No, I mean like a seriously warm hug, and don't worry. It won't be from me." She said, and Aresko's annoyed glare turned into a suspicious, if not worried expression.

"What are you talking about?" The words barely left his mouth when he saw Grint walk by, and Tua gave him a small smirk.

"Myles! I need help! Aresko's dying from the cold! He needs a warm hug!" She yelled, immediately catching the taskmaster's attention. Aresko stared at Tua with a horrified look on his face, before looking over at Grint, until he had firmly grabbed the commandant by the arms and pulled him forwards.

"What?! W-Wait a minute, Grint! I'm not dying! I don't need-"

The force of Grint's hug had possibly left Aresko's back broken, and judging by the sound of multiple bones cracking from the pressure, followed by a pathetic whimper leaving the commandant's lips, it was confirmed. Grint let him go, and walked off, leaving Aresko laying on the snow with a pained look on his face, and Tua standing next to him, laughing softly.

"Do you feel better?" She asked as she looked down at him.

"I...I feel like he just gave me more back problems than I already have."
