#star wars alpha 77

[panther-os]

random fordo headcanons in no specific order

looks like Generic Clone (TM) except has a y-shape scar on the right side of his face from the corner of his mouth and from just below his cheekbone back into his hair and the shrapnel that did it also sliced off part of his ear on that side

speaking of ears, he loses his helmet mid-battle like obiwan loses his lightsaber and is hard of hearing for various explosion shaped reasons. stec and the rest of the m10 accommodate him well enough it doesn't become an Issue with the kaminoans until far enough in the war for him to get hearing aids instead of euthanized

("but panther! him losing his helmet is clearly not the case in clone wars 2003!" consider: clone wars 2003 is in-universe propaganda (bad propaganda bc palps) about the negotiator and the hero with no fear and is largely not representative of the bodies actually fighting the war or their general disposition)

although i will allow that part of the m10's accommodations are relying almost exclusively on hand signals in combat because a) their co can't keep his comm on his goddamn head and b) even if he could it's 50/50 whether or not the audio quality is bad enough he wouldn't be able to understand them anyway

he's good with teaching cadets and enjoys it v much but when it comes to being around children in any other setting, he's that guy that leans away from them as they come closer. kids ofc think this is hilarious and so make a point to swarm him at any given opportunity which does not help endear them to him as individuals or as a concept

he went to the ct-27-5555 school of showing brotherly affection (or more accurately vice versa)

thinks either extremely deeply or not at all, there is no in-between

started mimicking 17 as a cadet just because it was funny and it has not stopped being funny since so he has not stopped either

in general just a rock solid absolutely batshit insane dude who delights in being a chaotic contradiction and faux contrarian bastard but has an emotional intelligence and easy insight that makes him most trooper's go-to for good advice

also he/they neptunic enbian for relationships and also views sex as a social interaction which is fun with just about anyone and everyone

Teaching cadets how to round in math

Little cadet: “Seventeen how old are you?”

Alpha-17: “Twenty one.”

Little: *Doing the math*

Alpha-17: “TWO and ONE.”

Little: “Oooh…so you’re almost fifty!”

Alpha-17: “That’s right.”

Little: “And then you’ll be dead.”

Fordo: *gasps from the other side of the room* “Cadet!”

Alpha-17: “I hope so. Well don’t correct him he’s right. I yearn for the urn.”

Fordo: “NO-“

August 12, 2024: Fordo

[the-pixel-lover-extravagant]

Just imagine Captain Fordo, after the battle of Coriscant is assigned to the guard as stated in 2003 canon and the chancellor even bragged to him what an honor it is to have this position only; to figure out the guard and it’s commanders are basically mall cops with authority, encountering his first genuine tweaker. At first he’s taken aback by the belligerent nonsense, then he gets swung at so he tazed the fucker. This just irritates them because their on space bath salts and that only tickled them so he and Grizzor are running for their lives from this phyco smashing windows with their head and the only way they got away was by jumping on a dumpster droid until Fox showed up and coaxed them into the back of an laat by answering their riddle. Mentally Fordo is filling out transfer papers back to the front lines.

A Kiss a Day in May

Day 26- Scattered Kisses

Fordo & Fox

Each day this month I have a 100 word drabble featuring a different clone with a kiss prompt. Not all are romantic and they include all sorts of pairings and relationships. Feel free to offer pairing/ character suggestions for future days.

As soon as the news broke Fox started running but he knew he was too late. He sprinted past shinies, jumped a hover-cart of supplies and vaulted out a window to start climbing a drainage pipe of a nearby building. He was waiting for him.

Hissing like a cornered tooka Fox fought valiantly but Fordo was stronger and had been putting up with his shit since he was a cadet. He tugged fox's helmet off and started peppering little kisses all over his cheeks.

"Who's my cute little fox cub? You are!" He cooed. Fox was too late to escape.

Hi 😊 For the clone ship Prompts, could I try a lil' bit of Codex with "Praise" and "Fantasy" as word prompts? ヾ( ᗒ‿ᗕ )〴 Thankies

“Daydreaming on duty, Cadet?” a wry voice cuts into Cody’s reverie, and he startles, but recovers himself with aplomb. ARC training is no time to be caught unawares.

“My apologies, Lieutenant—”

“—Captain—“

“—oh, are we using correct ranks, Captain Alpha-Seventeen, sir?”

“Cody.”

Cody grins and turns to go, secure in victory.

“Commander-prospective, you didn’t answer my question,” Seventeen says pointedly, undeterred. “What exactly were you fantasizing about so dopily?”

“Nothing,” Cody shrugs, shaking his head.

Seventeen is unconvinced. “Not the mutie whose ass you were staring at in formation earlier?”

“Oh, him? He’s not bad,” Cody says nonchalantly.

Seventeen blats a laugh. “Damn him with faint praise, why don’t you!”

Cody shifts, caught between conflicting desires, to remain aloof or to correct the misapprehension. Seventeen reads it off him as easy as breathing and pounces on the vulnerability Cody’s hesitation left open.

“Got nothing better to say about him?” he mocks. “Speak freely, now!”

Cody frowns. “What’s being a mutie got to do with anything, honestly? If you can’t see for yourself that he’s far and away the best and brightest of this entire class—and I am including myself—you might need corrective eye surgery, sir.”

Seventeen’s smirk goes smug and satisfied in a truly concerning way at the same moment as Cody recognizes his own theoretical need for potential corrective surgery—on his ears. He hadn’t heard anyone walk up, but someone had just stifled a gasp a pace away over his shoulder, and now he’s afraid to turn around.

Seventeen salutes him, quite ironically, and moves out, likely to incite unrest elsewhere as well.

“You meant that?” the blond captain asks quietly. “Most people just notice my glaring deviation.”

“I’m sure you’re aware of how talented you are,” Cody says with an awkward little laugh. “No need for me to reinforce your ego, Lieutenant.”

“Coming from a veteran of the illustrious Squad Seven, I take that as a very high compliment,” he replies, genuinely. “I’m Rex, pleased to make your acquaintance.” He’s in fatigues, lightly sweating. Must have just come from the gym.

“Cody,” Cody says, “likewise.” He keeps his eyes up.

“So,” Rex says innocently, after a long moment of comfortably fraught silence, “want to expound on what was so fascinating about my backside?”

Under his breath, Cody grumbles nonsensically, “…pound that, fascinating my ass,” and Rex’s hearing must be better than perfect, because he cackles delightedly.

damn, with praise do I faint 🔒 https://archiveofourown.org/works/51631990

🥰 (in legends they meet at ARC training after the start of the war but before being assigned to units)

ALSO

@brokenphoenix99 you’ve tagged me twice for it since I last was able to do any last line stuff so here are two new last lines for you as well!

There are some things we just don’t say.

^ from my wip for fordo week that i didn’t get done in time, and

He could have done that thoughtlessly. Something in his eyes clues Rex in to how deliberate the timing of the reveal was.

open tag for anyone who’d like to share their last line!

[clonememesfrikyeah]

Alpha-17: “The kid has great potential. He may become a captain or even a commander.”

Maze: “Or a psychopath.”

Fordo: *sprinting for his life* “He’s got a weapon! He’s got a weapon!”

Cadet Rex: *sadistically laughing and chasing him with a machete*

[jacensolodjo]

Spar: So what are you going to do when the war ends? Alpha 17, hopefully lying his shebs off: I'm gonna learn to mow. Maze: ...Learn? Mow? Fordo, having not heard any of the convo: What's going on? Maze: 17's gonna learn to mow! :) Everyone: ....

[genma-support-group]

Standing with his arms crossed, the Captain that was always reliable to those he considered close, watched as the woman he loved hurried off to a shared apartment—with another Alpha. A brother he knew all too much about, not only from his cadet days, but from the countless battles that he had fought alongside the Jedi. The Captain’s fist tightened as his eyes followed her until she was gone on the speeder she had taken from the base, forcing him to turn and head towards his barracks. Of course, apart of him wanted to stop her, to tell her how he felt but he knew better than to break up a relationship that he knew all too much about. How she carried on about his clone brother, Alpha, always seemed to hurt him more each time.

While the Captain settled on plans with his men, the woman he had thought of, often arrived at the small building that she lived in. A bright smile on her lips as she hurried through the lobby and into the elevator that took her to the tenth floor where she lived with her year long boyfriend. As she approached the apartment door, ready to take a shower and ready the apartment she was sure was a mess. She paused at the sounds that were muffled by the metal door, her heart raced as she unlocked the door that slid open. The noise was clear, it was moaning, and the sounds of a strange woman begging for her release.

Frozen with heartbreak as she heard the familiar voice of the man she loved, even if apart of her hoped it was another clone. She was a fool if she believed that, her mind racing as she ran to the bedroom that she had shared with Alpha, made love on that bed countless times. The door opens, and to her heart broke, the man she had wasted a year with had thrown it all away for a strange woman that laid under him. A jaw dropping beautiful woman that only covered herself up with the blankets as she stared at her and the man she was only moments earlier having sex with. Tears filled her eyes as the strange woman asked questions while Alpha on the other hand smirked.

“Thought you would be gone for another month, Sabe,” Alpha says as he stood from the bed, allowing the woman to get dress and hurry out the room and apartment, but not before saying how sorry she was. “Welcome home, darling.” He finishes as he approached—naked with a hard cock that was covered with a condom—arms out stretched as if he hadn’t done anything wrong.

Her hand outstretched, stopped him from getting any closer before she spoke herself. “Why?”

“Why not, I have needs and you weren’t around.”

“I—I have to go.”

She turns away, Alpha grabs her arm before she was able to leave the room, wrapping her in his arms as he hummed.

“Let me go, asshole.” She demanded through tears that came down seconds after feeling his warm body on hers.

“Where would you go? Who would go too?”

“Anywhere and anyone, which is none of your business anyway.” She states as she wiggles out of his grasp.

ALPHA ON DECK!
