I Think Shed Be A Standard Poodle! Theyre Very Smart And Used To Be Hunting Dogs. Plus They Have Hair

I think she’d be a standard poodle! They’re very smart and used to be hunting dogs. Plus they have hair so they don’t shed!

Specifically a white one! My grandma has one, named Flash (in pic below) and she’s all lively and the sweetest thing ever! Super energetic and adores people!

What type of dog do you guys think Grizzer would be? I know she probably would be one of the popular police K9 breeds. Like a german shepherd, a labrador retriever or a belgian malinois.

Bossk and Boba Fett is hilarious. Bossk, having no idea about human needs and is just born able to survive, raising the Boba Fett, who can kill a man in many ways while also being a pre-teen and very traumatized, is just such a funny concept.

Their shenanigans would be legendary. Their trying to navigate their familial relationship while being business partners only really bound together by a dead guy.

Anyway some headcanons now:

Jango took Bossk (only Bossk) to Kamino to meet Boba several times over the years

Bossk, who was friends with Jango for a while, was/is very out of his element with Boba is every way

Their first meeting when Boba is a baby goes like the meme, 'wanna beer?' 'hes a baby!' 'idk, what am i supposed to do with him!'

The second time they meet, Boba is four and at the age where fear is not a thing so he, after staring at Bossk silently for 5 mins, asks 'what do different species taste like? what do *i* taste like?'

Bossk did actually explain everything and Jango was a def taken aback

They meet several more times and Bossk has looked after Boba on an occasion or two

At some point Jango tells Bossk that if something were to happen to him, Boba should stay with Bossk and he has an account set up with money to pay Bossk for doing so

Bossk does accept this and Jango hands a communicator with only Boba's number, he carries it with him at all times, and they don't mention it again

Bossk gets a call on it and heads to Geonosis

During the whole thing with the Endurance, Boba and Bossk decide on Florrum that they don't want this kind of heat and leave Aurra there

Over the course of many years, Bossk becomes Boba's uncle(?) figure

Bossk teaches Boba how to effectively kill Wookies and some Trandoshian weak points which do come in handy on jobs

The first time Boba kills a Wookie alone, Bossk is very proud and keeps it in his trophy room

The Slave 1 is usually left with Hondo during their jobs unless they need more firepower because the upkeep is a little more than they can afford and still make profit (tho as the jobs get more advanced they use the Slave 1 more)

They do get arrested and end up on Coruscant for a short period where they end up owing Stone for sorta letting them escape (there was a massive riot and Stone had priorities)

Bossk does enjoy scaring people from time to time through looming over them

Bossk, being a member of the bounty hunters guild, is able to sponsor Boba for his own membership. However, Bossk makes it clear that Boba has to earn the other requirements on his own skills

AHHHHHH SO CUTE

Maintence/Engineering Clones Headcanons

maintence and engineering go hand in hand, since they can do both and clones are exclusive to one or the other

types of maintenance clones: shuttle (includes fighters and smaller carriers that are on a Venator), starship, armor, artillery

It’s pretty easy to tell what they do but it’s one of the most complex and difficult jobs in the GAR

Shuttle crews work exclusively on shuttles, all day every day

Maintenance includes reloading the weapons, taking apart and cleaning the laser canons/guns, checking the wires for fraying, cleaning the windows, engine repair, etc

Though, deep maintenance such as engine and gun cleaning only happens during transport to other battles as those take a lot of time

Shuttle crews can take apart and put together any ship blindfolded

During quick maintenance, windows are cleaned, systems are given a quick diagnostic check, and guns are checked for debris before they are let loose

These crews can go from 3 (for single fighters like Y wings) to 15 (larger carriers)

Starship maintenance crews are the largest and the most diverse in their jobs

They work in shifts for cleaning as that never truly stops, but otherwise assigned to one area of the ship

Starship category is broken down into subsections: engines, reactors, systems, cannons, general

The engines crew are mostly active on repair trips or leaves. Their job is to make sure the engines work in top shape

This includes checking fuel usage and stuff like that

However it also includes cleaning the engines, hanging from lines at the top and hanging hundreds of feet above the ground

The engines are lined with a coating keeping the metal from melting, this needs to be reapplied every so often so they painstakingly coat the engines from top to bottom

They also have to check the pilot flame that starts the engines by climbing in and cleaning by hand

The engine crews are the most insane and chill, they hang in the air for eight or more hours listening to music or chatting while applying coatings and checking for rust

The reactor crew works just with the reactors that power the engines

While this seems that it should be apart of the engine, it’s best to be kept separate as the job is just as extensive but much more complicated

Reactor crews lift off the metal covering the tech and check every line and wire for fraying or shorting out

The systems crew deals with life support, navigation, and weapons systems

Their job is similar to the reactor crews, checking wires, electrical outputs, things like that

Though unlike reactor crews and engine crews, they don’t stop working while in space

At the end of every 24 hour rotation they go through the navigation systems to fully update the storage chips

If something shorts out or glitches, they are the ones to call, similar to an IT department (just incredibly skilled and specialized)

Cannons crew, while sounding like a simple job, is just as complex as the others

They don’t just deal with the cannons, any weapon attached to the starship is their responsibility

They work at the same time as the engine crews, while the ship is docked and under repair

They take off the barrels, clean and oil them, reattach, and put them back online. Do this more than 100x and you’ve got a canon crew

They also work on the cannons that are in the hangers. Those barrels cannot be detached so they use long cleaning pipes that extend and clear the grooves inside the barrel

To make sure the weapon is clear, they fire a blank under the watch of the artillery crew

The final crew for starships are the general crew

This crew is made up of the engine and cannon crews while in space

They take care of any damage the ship takes while in battle

They check on the water and sewage pipes that run throughout the ship, they keep the halls clean and make sure the overall structure of the ship is able to handle cannons firing, shuttles and fighters mount and going, and people running through the ship without collapsing on itself

The final two maintenance crews are different as they aren’t limited to the starship crew or shuttles but are a mix of both

Armor crews keep the clones armor in top shape and clean, they repair armor and get replacements as needed

They work on HUD and any built in systems of the clone trooper armor

However, they also work on ship armament. If a shuttles armor is severly weakened, they have to fix it (or make it useable until they get to a proper repair dock)

Artillery is similar but more extensive

If it’s fired or needed ammunition, they take care of it

From blaster packs to torpedos, they maintain it and have it in stock

They mostly deal with larger weapons such as the cannons (both on board and those that are to be taken into battle) and the shots for the AT-TE.

Though, many specialize in certain weaponry such as bombs, attached artillery (cannons on AT-TE, shuttles, fighters, and starships), loner (rocket launchers, grenades, blaster packs, and mini guns)

Though these groups are diverse and often work together to fully arm and prepare any one thing.

An AT-TE doesn’t just require torpedos and the like, it’s crew need blasters, they’ll transport rockets to troops

All maintenance are pretty chill dudes and will happily tell you about their job if asked

They don’t take kindly to taunting or degrading and will make your life hell

They wear an outfit features a heavy duty helmet full of padding for comfort, built in ear muffs and comms, and an extra visor that can be flipped down used during welding. They wear a heavy undersuit (that most cut the lower arms off of) that extends to just under the chin for full coverage. Over it is a usually stained plain shirt with an added pouch for hydration packs and snacks, and heavy padded full arm coveralls that have built in leg/kneepads/elbow pads. Their belt is a toolbelt with lots of pouches for anything they need. On their arm, a band signifies rank. Finally thick heavy gloves that go over the overalls for a tight seal.

They can also add on the safety gear needed for grappling down in engines.

Most wear the upper portion of the coveralls tied around their waist because that shit is wayyy to hot.

While off duty, they just wear the shirt and some of their lighter work coveralls with the arms rolled up

They tend to get made fun of a lot because they do keep the ship clean like a janitor most times they are seen

But, if you need a secret hiding hole, a camera blind spot, a quick fix for your stuff, or a place to crash, they’re the ones to go to

Many who work with younger Jedi teach them how to repair their clothing and tech, though they’ve never gotten a look inside the lightsaber (no matter how they’ve tried)

Sometimes they are assigned to mind younglings during off hours or really harsh battle

I LOVE IT!!!!!

Written thanks to the wonderful prompt by @tesalicious2 : 'The Caf machine is sacred, and the commanders get first pick of the day'

_____ The caf machine gurgled. Hacking up grounds and its plastic vibrating slightly as water was pushed through its filter. The brown sludge, diluted and gritty with grounds too fine to be caught by the flimsy filter, no matter how often it was changed, dripped down into the caf pot. It was already half full and only slowly filling with the weak stream of caf from its spout.

Spittle had been eyeing it for the past 15 minutes, having been the one to start this pot. his shift was nearing closer and closer yet, his mug remained far too clean and empty.

See, as a lieutenant, Spittle knew the rules. He was the first one in their recreational-slash-break room, and so, he was obligated to start the first pot of caf. He was also privileged to the second cup of caf today. The first, no matter how much he itched to grab the pot and finally stave off some of this exhaustion, was reserved for whichever commander managed to force their way to the caf machine first.

It hadn’t been such a big deal for the first year of the guard, but a few too many caf induced burns by exhausted troopers prompted a rule from Commander Fox. He had said that they, the commanders, could at least be trusted to be punctual and calm over the beverage.

Spittle’s eye twitched as the clock above the door ticked on. 16 minutes had passed. He knew damn well both Commander Stone’s and Commander Fox’s shifts started at the same time as him.

The metal door finally slid open. Eyes flicking down from the clock and Spittle was privileged to the sight of Commander Stone elbowing Commander Fox right in the cheek. 

He let out a surprised laugh as Stone forced his way in front of Fox with the action, thundering steps carrying him to the caf pot. It let out one last shutter, the sludge coming to a stop as Stone grabbed for the pot, attention pulled away from it as he opened the cabinet above the pot, pulling a white mug off of the middle shelf.

Commander Fox leaned up against the counter, foot tapping against the ground, arms crossed against his chest, and glaring daggers into Stone’s back.

“Gonna survive, C’mander?” Both Fox and Stone swung their heads to look at Spittle as he spoke. Fox had tensed, letting out a sigh a moment later. Stone just smirked and finished pouring his caf, lingering in front of the machine as he blew across the steaming liquid before taking a sip. They all learned to choke it down, no matter how hot, at some point.

“Probably. Hurry up trooper.” Fox waved to the machine as Stone stepped away, slouching into himself as he did so.

Nearly leaping out of his seat, mug in hand, he stepped over to Stone. Finally handed the pot, barely holding his mug over the counter, he filled it up. Slotting the pot back into its place on the machine, he held his mug with two hands, taking the time to inhale the sweet, sweet scent of liquid energy. About damn time.

I adore this!! Escpecially considering during the Cline Wars, they would have to adapt their knowledge to the many things they would have to deal with on campaigns.

Not only that, but the addition of the clones is super fun! These clones don’t really ah e a standard for what *regular* people act like so all of the weird Jedi-isms are completely normal to them.

They’d pick up some accents and words from their Jedi, maybe the commanders even pick up some habits. We’ve already seen how a Jedi can influence the strategy and attitude of their own battalions, see 501st vs 212th, so it’s entirely possible they also pick up some of the cultural rules that each Jedi chooses to participate in.

That, combined with the mash of the clones own ‘culture’ (I say it like that because there is barely anything about that part of them other than they have it in some degree) and mannerisms would create a whole new subculture. They’d maybe mash up the languages from their Jedi and some of their butchered Mando’a. Meshing the rules and ideas of the Jedi with their own soldier training from Kamino

a non-comprehensive list of my favourite jedi hcs to play around with

cause i just don’t get tired of these mfs!

i’ve mentioned this one before but: education at the temple differs greatly from a western school system. students aren’t graded and there’s no use for exams. there are sets of standard classes so everyone gets a good foundation in languages, history & politics, maths and sciences, plus practical learning - we know every jedi on active duty is expected to be able to perform maintenance and troubleshooting on their ships and other tech - but younglings tend to run through these fairly quickly. beyond that, classes are based purely on the jedi’s interests and goals, and are basically treated as a particularly involved hobby. 10 yr old initiates and 90 yr old masters can easily be found in the same class. a padawan might choose to rip through four advanced math courses in a year just cause it’s fun, or they might take one or two, and either is fine. learning is very much a lifelong process in the temple, there’s no need to rush.

(as a result, many jedi end up being top-tier experts in their favourite subjects. schools invite them to lecture all over the galaxy. sometimes a 16 yr old will show up, but by god they do know their quantum mechanics.)

the service corps! of course we know that obi-wan was pretty disappointed to be sent to the agricorps, but i think this is kinda more reflective of his own self esteem issues than it is of the order’s predominant attitudes. it makes more sense to me that the agricorps, educorps, explorcorps and medcorps would be equally respected to active knights (this is stated in canon but not rly explored), and would actually be the destination of choice for many initiates. plenty of people aren’t cut out for a job that could potentially bring you into deadly conflict, and plenty aren’t interested in trying it. 

(a bit of canon, to flesh out the corps: members of the corps are part of the order and are considered jedi. jedi may voluntarily join or leave the corps, and it seems common for the service corps to form connections with non-jedi intergalactic research associations. i’d really like to see more of them!) 

my god the cultural exchange in the temple must be insane! not only do you have hundreds of species living under the same roof, many bringing with them traditions from their homeworlds, but you’ve also got the underlying thousands of years of culture completely unique to jedi! i imagine you could walk through the temple and pick out bits of etiquette or architecture or sayings that originated on one world and eventually became so integrated that everyone knows and uses them. 

speaking of etiquette:

jedi tend to come across as Odd to non-jedi because they’re raised with concepts of politeness that are influenced by the fact that they’ve got essentially an extra sense. uninvited touch is a no-no because it can be overwhelming for the partially-trained younglings and their varying ability to sense others’ emotions, especially if the recipient happens to be psychometric; this makes a bow the default greeting between strangers rather than a handshake or similar. after boundaries have been established it’s totally fine and normal for jedi to hug, hold hands, sleep in piles, etc., although they tend to act more reserved on missions as a sign of professionalism. 

another common source of culture shock between young jedi and your average coruscanti is their differing understandings of authority. a master is believed to learn as much from their padawan as the padawan does from their master, and this mutual respect is applied all the way from younglings to council members. a whole lot of jedi culture is based on learning and teaching relationships, therefore displays of respect and politeness are not dependent on the rank of the people involved, they’re offered by default. for a young initiate on a field trip (city trip?), bowing to a senator and not receiving a bow or head dip in return is definitely cause to get huffy. 

openness is really important if you’re gonna support a kid as they grow up and learn how to manage their relationship with the force. openness is also every young kid’s specialty. more than one unintentionally rude senator has received a pointed comment from a three-foot tall jedi. 

communal living! jedi are raised in groups and have many mentors over the course of their lives, and i imagine that mindset never really leaves. their predominant social norms and taboos are pretty different from the rest of coruscant. physical contact is not tied to romantic or sexual interest in and of itself. canonically, they’re taught not to place any undue weight on their appearance or modesty, so nudity isn’t uncommon or inappropriate. people have bodies and that’s just how things be. in the wise words of @agoddamn i have never seen motherfuckers with more communal bathing energy in my life.

relatedly, because they’re raised by such an immense variety of people with lifetimes of travel under their belts, younglings’ language acquisition must be batshit crazy. i firmly believe that most jedi grow up speaking a wild mashup of galactic standard, dai bendu, whatever they’ve learned from their birth family if they were old enough, and the favourite languages of their crèchemasters. as they get a bit older they might be taught common trade languages alongside galactic standard, dai bendu, a sign language, and whatever else they choose to learn. as padawans and knights, they might continue to pick up languages for missions. 

(this concept is hinted at a lot in canon and i LOVE it. many jedi we meet are explicitly multilingual. if a jedi isn’t physically capable of speaking galactic standard - wookiees and ithorians, for example - there’s a really good chance they’ll be understood. we even get to see this in the ilum arc - conversations in the padawan group happen in three different languages at once!)

accents?? also gotta be wild. how did this human padawan end up speaking mostly with a ryl accent? well their favourite crèchemaster’s master did a long mission on ryloth and never really lost the accent. you’ll get lineages where not a single member sounds alike - a bit like yoda vs dooku vs rael, qui-gon and obi-wan vs anakin and ahsoka! 

this is so long. i just think they’re really cool :,)
