The Cackling General AU

The Cackling General AU

This is 50% inspired by the fact that Mark Hamill plays Joker and 50% because Anakin acting like this makes me happy.

Context:

The Nuhunar Disease: A disease that makes someone laugh uncontrollably at certain things. The trigger changes from person to person.

Inspiration: Arthur from the movie Joker and a short film named ‘Eggplant’

Anakin’s Triggers: Pain, Misery, Slap Stick Comedy, and a lot of sounds

Added Details:

- The 501st are known as the Howling Troopers to show their support to and make their General feel comfortable with his condition

- Obi-Wan used to scold him when he was ‘too loud’ but after a few years with him, he doesn’t care anymore

- Anakin can control his volume to a degree, but not much. If he does, it’s by covering his mouth or something else similar

- When Anakin is on a rampage is when the laughter turns to sheer and utter cackling as he cuts down his foes, hence his title of the Cackling General

- Anakin plays by Joker rules when fighting. Stopped laughing? You’re screwed.

- To make Anakin smile and laugh, his men will basically indulge his love of dark humour. Even Obi-Wan will

- Anakin’s diseased laughter is much higher pitched than his normal real laugh and is a rarity to hear

- The 501 and Anakin have scared the ever loving FORCE out of people with their war cry, which is just the giggling and cackling.

- Once Ahsoka is introduced to Anakin, she is made aware of this very quickly as she watches the Cackling General and the Howling Troopers in action

- Ahsoka was told basics of the disease but not everything about it

- Obi-Wan has adopted the cackling in one way or another as a sign of acceptance of his Padawan

How I, personally, imagine Anakin to sound is basically either Dub!Isaac Foster from Angels of Death or Dub! Hichigo AKA Hollow Ichigo from Bleach.

Originally made on Discord with some help from peeps. If you have any ideas you wanna add, I’d love to see them.

Force Sings AU

Basic Description/ Original Plot:

The force doesn’t speak to Jedi, it sings. Because of this, force sensitive individuals, Jedi and Sith alike, to use the force at all, they have to sing and the tune is the way the force should respond.

Ex:

Meditation is lullabies

Fights range from rock and roll, electro swing, and metal

Each Jedi has their own way of singing and even the Clones sing with their general and commanders, especially if they are given or forced to used their light sabers.

⬜️🔷🔷⬜️⬜️🔷🔷⬜️⬜️🔷🔷⬜️⬜️🔷🔷⬜️

Added Info:

- The force plays music in the minds of the Jedi and they have a habit of moving to the beat of it

- The Jedi have more fluidity in their movements, more cartoony(think first season of Rebels and how they are animated)

- All Jedi have, as the Clones and Senators call them behind their back, idle animations or Idle movements.

- Idle movements can be passed down between Master and Padawan (the Padawan pick up the habit) but every Jedi, if you watch hard enough, has their own unique ones

- Jedi who are close have a dance they do to the music of their bond to people. Master and Padawan are the most common, but even non-Jedi can participate and is considered sacred to do

- Clones who have spent a long time with their respected Jedi such as Rex, Cody, and Bly have started doing their Jedi’s idle movements

- A good few Jedi can’t sing, so they either hum or just move to the beat of the Force

- Sparring and fighting amongst Jedi and Sith looks more like dancing

- Obi-Wan’d idle movement is tapping his foot to a steady beat with his arms crossed, his finger doing the same on his arm

- Anakin’s is him swaying back and forth, the swaying can turn into pacing or bouncing from foot to foot if impatient or frustrated, however he does cross his arms and tap on occasion

- Cody has picked up the tapping foot and Rex on the swaying like their Generals, which their respected Legions have teased them about profusely

- Ahsoka’s is bouncing from foot to foot mostly. How high she bouncing is on how frustrated, anxious, or happy she is

- Anakin always jokes that Obi-Wan has another idle movement. Stroking his beard.

If you want to add more to this, I’d love to hear what you have!

Am I the only one who wants to/is making a Loki variant?

I have one I’ve been working on as an AU project but I wanna use him more as a Loki Variant perhaps, ya know?

SCENE START

{The entire temple was running away from the clones that were now attacking them all. The 501st Legion and the man at the helm of the army, Anakin Skywalker, attacked every single Jedi they saw with blasters, a laugh coming from Anakin as he shot them.

Every single person who was shot hit the floor, the blasters set to stun as Anakin walked quickly with Rex at his heels, the others going to round up the Jedi to save them from the clones carrying out the Order.

Anakin growled as he sealed off the Jedi Council room, smirking, knowing he will have to act now as he stood in front of the council members who looked more annoyed, unaware of the chaos outside}

Anakin:

Any moment now, Jedi scum!

{Anakin turns to Rex}

Anakin:

Believe me I know, I've sunk pretty low

But whatever I've done, they’ve deserved

Mace Windu:

Skywalker!

Rex:

Quiet!

{He aims blaster at him, shutting up the man quickly along with the others}

Anakin:

I'm the bad guy, that's fine

It's no fault of mine and some justice at last will be served!

Depa:

(reaches a gentle hand out to him)

Please just listen

{Rex puts his hand on Anakin’s shoulder before he nodded and moved in front of Anakin as said man turns around and tries to mentally collect himself}

Rex:

Now it's time to step up or it's time to back down

And there's only one answer I see

And I'll stand up and fight 'cause I know that he’s right

And I'm ready, I'm ready, I'm ready

Ready as I'll ever be

{The rest of the 501st legion come walking in before they sealed the door and turned to the council, all of them surrounding their general}

Rex:

(turns to the council)

Now it's time to rise up or it's time to stand down

And our forces are already free

And I swear, though we’re flawed, we’ll no longer be ignored

Are you ready?

{Anakin turns to face the council with amber eyes, a collective gasp coming from the group}

Anakin:

I'm ready

The 501st Legion:

We're ready (we're ready)

Anakin:

Ready as I'll ever be...

{Anakin and Rex move away for a moment as Anakin looks at Rex through the coloured contacts Kix slipped into his hand. Rex placed a hand gently on his general’s shoulder}

Rex:

Do you truly think we can do this?

{Anakin gives him a small smile and grabs his hand, pulling him back to the others}

Anakin:

Together we will guarantee!

(Anakin turns to the Jedi)

Anakin with the 501sh Legion:

That they will hear me! (now it's time to act shy or look to the sky)

Some day you’ll thank me (and now we all can be free)

Anakin:

(In his mind)

I hope they all will agree...

The 501st Legion:

Now the line's in the sand and our moment's at hand

Kix:

And I'm ready

Rex:

I'm ready

Echo and Fives:

We’re ready!

{Anakin takes a small breath to calm himself as he is hidden behind the clones who block him from sight}

Anakin(whispers)(sobs):

Ready as I can ever be...

{The Chancellor enters as the last note hits, all eyes turning to him}

SCENE END
