Craziest hcs for commander cody or hcs no one would expect for him please & much thankyouness🧡
Craziest headcanons for Commander Cody (or hcs no one would ever expect) lmaoooo I don’t know if these are crazy but they’re what I got
Commander Cody is absolutely the funniest Commander there is
Going from that, it’s because he’s unhinged. Everyone would expect it to be Wolffe with his teeth, Bly with his lovesick tendencies or even Fox with his deadpan humor, but Between having to deal with Obi-Wan “I’m going to flirt with every enemy I have and lose my lightsaber” Kenobi and Anakin “violence mwahahahha” Skywalker, Cody had to compensate
Alongside that, he was Obi-Wan’s Commander when Anakin was still a Padawan so at that point, it was either babysit Anakin or be just as unhinged to pull him back
Anakin still can never get anything past Cody
His raised eyebrow has Anakin spilling secrets faster than anything Obi-Wan ever could have done
Cody hates tea. He hates it with a passion and it’s only because he’s friends with Obi-Wan that he doesn’t automatically spit it out
That being said, since Anakin also hates tea, whenever Cody thinks Anakin needs a punishment, he’ll just give him tea and raise an eyebrow
He still does it even when Anakin is a General
Cody started kicking droids when he had to save Obi-Wan from an attack and he had no blasters and a broken hand
It was worth it
Anakin jokes that he was part droid since it never seemed to hurt him and he replied back with “I mean you could with your robotic arm”
Obi-Wan had to discourage Anakin from punching droids
Cody eggs him on when Obi-Wan isn’t looking
Cody knew about Padme and Anakin’s secret marriage within the first week he met Anakin
He let Anakin know with a “I hope you treat her well” when Anakin finished his knighting trials
Cody made sure that Rex was put Captain of the 501st because he knew Anakin would watch his back
Also he wanted to see how long it would take for Rex to break out of the fold of not being good enough because of his blonde hair
Cody once put itching powder in Wolffe’s blacks when he got back from the Malevolence incident to distract him and get him out of his room
It worked
Cody had a black eye for two weeks
Wolffe thanked him later in the war for it because he didn’t know if he would have continued on or tried to March on with his Pack
Ponds tried to explain to Mace Cody’s humor only for the man to say “I see”
Cody made sure to never joke around Mace so that Ponds would seem crazy by his General
He ended up breaking that silent dare when Boba tried to attack Mace
He scooped up the cadet (Boba’s not a cadet but he’s the size of one so Cody doesn’t think it matters all that much) and said “sorry cadet but we have a height restriction. No one shorter than 4 feet is allowed near a Jedi”
Boba hisses like a cat at him and tries to scratch him
“I’m older than you!”
“I’m taller than you.”
He ended up bringing Boba on the ship to avoid the Chancellor from putting him on trial
Boba didn’t appreciate it until Cody gave him a gun and took him on a “specs” mission
It wasn’t a real mission but Cody wasn’t gonna tell Boba that
“Shoot those droids and well leave when you’re not angry anymore”
They didn’t leave till 6 hours later
Boba tried to run away 12 times during his stay with Cody and Cody caught him all 12 times
The 13 time, Cody just gave him a blaster and said the 212th will be there for him if he needs it
Boba didn’t leave despite the opening
He now hangs in the vents and protects the ship when they’re on the ground
Cody owns a handmade slingshot
He uses it to pelt Rex and other clones when he’s bored or annoyed at them
He used it once on Fox and Fox got him back with his own slingshot
He once stole one boot from each of his batchmates at the beginning of the war after they got their paint on it
He wears them when he feels nostalgic
He stole one of Rex’ when he become Captain of 501st
He used to jump out of ships when Anakin was a Padawan to help teach him to catch him before he would splat on the ground
This is why Anakin does it to Rex because he thought since Rex is close to Cody, he wouldn’t mind
Rex does mind
A lot
He never figured out that Cody was the one to ingrain this habit in Anakin
Cody would still jump out of ships if the 212th and the 501st work together
Cody can do a handstand and can even balance on one hand
He believes this to be his greatest achievement
Cody likes to window shop
It’s inconvenient to do when they are at war but if there’s a shop nearby where the 212th is stationed, he’ll get souvenirs for his batchmates
Cody does not get paid yet he still somehow has credits
This is because he made a deal with Hondo to give him credits and he’ll tell him where the best rum is
This is why Hondo kidnaps Obi-Wan a lot
When Cody heard about Obi-Wan “dying”, he didn’t believe it and just told Rex to tell him when Obi-Wan is back - after all, it was his shore leave
The first time Cody met the Bad Batch was on Kamino and it was on complete accident
He ran into them with Nala Se and from their face, he could only assume that she was about to decom them
He stepped in
She let him train them for two weeks to improve their scores and during that time, he got them to work as a team but most importantly, to realize that they are vod as well and vod stick together
He gave them Fox’ and his own personal comm number in case they ever needed anything
He also makes sure to include them in his souvenir gift list
(He’s also the reason Crosshair is a Swiftie skjskjskj - I’m sorry I had to add that in)
He considers Echo and Fives his little cousins due to Rex adopting them and spoils them whenever he sees them
Meaning he tells them all the best prank ideas and covers for them and gives them any item they ask for when they meet
He is the reason they got away with dying Rex’ hair blue
As well as Anakin’s
And Obi-Wan’s
But he’s too smart for them and switched their bottles with his and they ended up accidentally dying their own hair when they targeted him
Cody will barge into Fox’ office randomly when he’s on shore leave and forcibly get Fox to rest
He’ll bribe the other Commanders with alcohol when he comes
Thorn is an expensive Vod though and demands more than alcohol
He is the reason Cody had to start a little black market within the GAR
All that just to spend time with Fox
It’s worth it every time
Cody once tried to matchmake Bly and Aayla at the start of the war because he couldn’t stand their lovesick looks
Turns out they have been dating since Bly got assigned to her and they just are lovesick with each other
Cody almost lost his lunch when he realized
Cody likes to check up on his batchmates when he can
And his batchmates’ Generals
And his batchmates’ General’s Padawan
This is how he was able to talk to Barriss before she did anything risky
He got Gree involved and they got her reassigned after being made a knight to a post where she can help clone medics with civilians and Vod
It wasn’t much but it was enough for her to feel like she is doing something right
He tries to check up on her when he can though Gree is the one she mainly talks to
Cody once convinced his batchmates to eat a bug after Anakin kept doing it as a Padawan
Cody also once drugged Obi-Wan when he stayed up a consistent 78 hours on a campaign
Cody has a count of how many times Obi-Wan has lost his lightsaber and his robes and has flirted with the enemy
Cody once punched Quinlan Vos in the stomach because the Jedi snuck up on him
Obi-Wan laughed
Quinlan got him back when he accidentally dropped one of Cody’s bottles of rum for Hondo
They had a prank war for a solid 7 months before Fox shut it down because he got caught in one of Cody’s brilliant ideas
On the bright side, it revealed Palpatine as a Sith
On the down side, he ended up losing control to the chip and being knocked into a coma for 4 months to finally gain back control
Yea that’s all I have ( @here-comes-the-moose if you don’t mind, i borrowed your HC of Crosshair being a Swiftie and mentioned it here)
Feel free to add your own if you want
- Ahsoka is known for going to the barracks to comfort troopers after a campaign. She will sit with them for hours and listen to them and offer a shoulder to cry on. It’s not uncommon to find a group of shinies huddled around her on the floor
- Speaking of shinies, some of them (esp when Ahsoka was still pretty small) they’d hug onto her like she was a stuffed toy, and she didn’t mind at all. If it made her trooper feel better then she would do so happily
- If a trooper finds something cool on a campaign, like a pretty rock or a flower, they will give it to her and she keeps all the little gifts they give her
- She has lets some of Torrent play around with her sabers, and even taught Fives some of the basic lightsaber stances so they could mock duel
- Ahsoka knows what kind of music each trooper likes and will share songs she finds that she thinks they will like with them. She also was able to barter for a portable speaker that they could keep in the barracks or rec room
- She and Fives started a prank war that eventually involved all of the 501st and the 212th
- Echo helps Ahsoka study because he’s actually enjoys reading ‘boring’ stuff. Jedi temple work is actually a lot more interesting than REG manuals
- It started with Jesse, but one day while he was bored in the rec room, he asked Ahsoka (who was doing course work) if he could try to do a push up with her sitting on him (like in some of the holovideos he’s seen). She says yes. Rex walks in to see Jesse doing pushups while Ahsoka is typing out an essay on his back
- Pretty soon there is a competition between the veterans in the 501st on who can do the most pushups with Ahsoka sitting on them. Hardcase held the record until Rex stepped in and beat him by double
- There is an ongoing debate on how tall Ahsoka is, she argues that you measure from the tips of her montrals, her men argue its the top of her forehead.
- “Why would you measure from my forehead my mortals are literally attached to my head, the ARE the top of my head!” “even if we measured from your montrals, you still short as kriff.”
- Because Togruta don’t have hair, she is fascinated by it. Originally she only messed with Anakin’s hair but soon her men started letting her touch their hair was well. She would sit there playing with it for hours if they would let her (and many times they did because it feels good)
- They began teaching her some sayings in Manda’o and in return she taught them a few things in Togruti
- they all complain whenever they have to fly with her, but in reality they prefer her flying to their generals (and she is actually a very good flyer but they would never admit that)
- If Ahsoka hears someone insult her or say anything inappropriate about her, she ignores it, you say something about one of her troopers, she will not hesitate to jump them (Rex has had to haul her away from many brawls)
- If the troopers hear someone insult them they ignore it, if someone catcalls or insults their commander that person better pray to whatever god they believe in because they are about to meet their maker
- Ahsoka and Anakin started a karaoke tradition with the 501st but it stopped after Ahsoka left the order
- After Ahsoka left the order the clones still found themselves picking up small gifts on campaigns, and some chose to keep them with them in case Ahsoka ever came back
The metaphor of the Heart of Etheria still has me emotional. All that magic, all that beauty was twisted and siphoned and contorted into a machine meant only for destruction, something that could potentially wipe out the entire universe. But then, in the shadow of all that destructive power, two women surrender to the love they’ve been keeping trapped inside themselves, after spending so long apart as a result of denying or not even recognizing that love, and just like their feelings come flooding out, the magic of the Heart is released and… Etheria is beautiful again. All that chaos and anger and destruction transmutes into something magical and good and alive it’s just… this show is so powerful.
Listen tho, someone at Kara's bank has GOT to know her identity. Like, can you imagine this poor customer service rep calling her up to say "Ms. Danvers my apologies but we've had to freeze your account for suspected fraudulent activity. Yes, someone charged your card at bakeries in four European countries AND at Noonan's within 15min of one another. Yes ma'am, this morning. You're sure? Those were definitely all your purchases? Uhm well okay. I'll go ahead and unfreeze that account for you right now. My, uh, apologies again for the inconvenience." And the whole time thinking aight there are like. Maybe 3 rational explanations for this, and superheros are at least two of them.
“So,” Alex’s eyes flick from one blonde to the other. She doesn’t even have it left in her to be surprised. “She’s from another Earth?”
“And the future,” both Karas say at the same time. Kara, this Earth’s Kara, looks a little bit awed at the almost identical version of herself standing beside her.
There are differences, of course. This other Kara is older, though it’s hard to tell by how much thanks to Kryptonian physiology.
There are a series of lines in the corners of her eyes, and more freckles on her cheeks. Her hair is blonder than Kara’s, almost silver at the front on one side.
Despite wearing sweatpants and a threadbare MIT sweatshirt, she looks poised in a way Kara hasn’t quite mastered yet, almost regal.
Alex sighs.
“Must be Tuesday.”
-
Kara gives herself a tour of the tower. Apparently on Older Kara’s earth they work out of an abandoned castle somewhere. She won’t reveal too much, says it can be dangerous to talk too much about it, in case some things overlap.
They get along well, sharing matching grins as Kara leads them from room to room. A box of Brainy’s donuts are discovered in the kitchen and soon both Kara’s have full bellies and icing on their fingers. It’s kind of nice, actually.
Older Kara tell her that she thinks a fifth dimensional imp has something to do with her ending up here, and Kara nods along, knowing all about it.
“Lena can help,” Kara says casually as they enter the lab, where Lena sits among a series of spell books and equipment. She’s leaning heavily on one elbow, face down turned to the page she’s reading in a kind of concentration that makes her miss their entrance.
Her hair is pulled up into a quick bun, a few pieces slipping out around her face, and she has a pair of thick rimmed glasses perched on her nose that Kara knows she’s started needing to read the tiny print in her mother’s spell book.
She looks comfortable in the bubble of her lab, and as beautiful as she has ever been.
Older Kara pauses beside her, the easy posture she had adopted during their tour transforming into stony stillness.
“Lena,” she breathes. When Kara turns to look she sees her own jaw flexed tight, eyes wide and shining with what looks like shock but might also be tears.
It’s enough to get Lena’s attention and she turns to acknowledge them, looking from one Kara to the other with a raised eyebrow.
“Alternate dimension?” she asks easily, slipping her glasses up into her forehead to see them properly. Kara nods, eyes still trained on the older version of herself who is in turn still staring at Lena.
Lena nods.
“Cool. Hi,” Lena offers to the other Kara with a kind smile, dimples flashing, brain clearly already spinning with questions and curiosities.
Older Kara swallows thickly, and Kara’s brow crinkles. She looks from her to Lena who just shrugs.
“Hi,” Older Kara manages after too long, but then she’s clearing her throat, blinking something away as her posture loosens a little bit. “Sorry, uh. Hi. Hi, Lena.”
Her name sounds different on this Kara’s tongue, and Kara wonders why.
An awkward moment passes and then Lena stands from her stool. Green eyes zero in on Older Kara’s sweatshirt for just a moment, a flicker of something crossing her face just long enough for Kara to catch it.
Then Lena is looking between the two Karas before her and smiling again.
“Okay, then. Science or magic?”
-
They use both.
It’s simple enough once Lena has the details. She alters the transmat-portal watch to create fifth dimensional wormholes, muttering a few words over the now well used technology.
Older Kara never looks away from her. Kara never looks away from Older Kara looking at her. It’s a lot of staring.
At one point Alex comes to check on them, a cup of coffee steaming in one hand, looks between the three of them and shakes her head.
“Nope. No energy for whatever this is today,” and she turns right back around and walks out.
Lena solves the problem in an hour and when she holds up the watch with a bit of a smirk both Karas cheeks turn the slightest shade of pink.
-
The Karas are talking in hushed whispers on the balcony landing. Lena watches them with interest from the seat at her desk, unable to hear what they’re saying with her human ears.
Older Kara continues to look a little too serious. Kara — her Kara — looks confused and then bashful and then quietly devastated.
Lena’s halfway to standing, ready to go make sure she’s okay, when Alex pipes up beside her.
“Let’s just give them a minute.”
Lena nods, and sinks back to her stool, fingers tapping an irregular rhythm against the tabletop while they wait. After a few more minutes of whispering together and a long hug in which four arms flex and squeeze with all the strength they have, the Karas come to stand before her.
“She’s ready,” Kara says, and her voice scratches in her throat like she might cry. Now she’s the one who can’t look away from Lena.
It makes Lena want to reach out and smooth a thumb against the line between her eyebrows, but she controls herself. Instead she presses her thumb against the button on the side of the watch.
A vortex of blue appears in the center of the room.
“Thanks for stopping by,” Alex waves off the older version of her sister.
“Bye, Kara,” Lena says easily, hoping to ease whatever fear has recently settled on Kara’s face, and both Karas hands flex at the same time, curling into self soothing fists.
“Bye, Lena,” Older Kara blinks quickly a few times, and after a long moment tears her eyes away from Lena to look at Kara.
“Don’t miss your chance,” Older Kara says seriously and two sets of matching blue eyes share a look that goes over Lena’s head.
Older Kara nods once, casts one last long look at Lena, and then disappears through the portal in a swirl of blue energy.
“What was that about?” Lena says, trying to keep her tone light amidst the weird lingering tension. She can’t imagine what would have Kara looking so grave.
Kara has her hands on her hips, brow furrowed. She stares after the older version of herself until all that remains are wisps of blue magic.
Lena looks at her expectantly, raising both eyebrows.
“Kara?”
Kara turns to her then, blue eyes shining with an unguarded intensity that burns like stars.
“I’m in love with you.”
Lena blinks back at her, lips parting slightly. From beside her Alex let’s out a low whistle.
Alex’s coffee cup hits the table and she pushes out her stool, heading for the elevator without giving either of them a second glance and muttering to herself.
“Oh, yep. Definitely not enough energy for this today.”
Me, I’m the child.
“my child is fine”
