things I think about almost every day: how funny it is that the Rebellion’s official name is literally “the alliance to restore the republic” when like half of them were straightup separatists.
Concept: Cassian & Rex become buddies because they both start daydrinking visibly whenever Rebel leaders say stupit shit about the Republic being a bastion of freedom or whatever
At my (crappy) old workplace my pals and I used to play Bullshit Bingo during meetings (where each square was another dumb thing that happened every meeting) and now all that I can think of is a bunch of the old separatists and ex-GAR soldiers with their little cards printed out marking off every historically inaccurate reference to the republic during Stirring Rebellion SpeechesTM
i finally had access to a computer again and this is what i did with it:
Some jokes told terrible truths, illuminating the nightmare in all its madness and horror. The grimmest of all was that performed by the French soldiers in April 1917 at the Chemin des Dames, in another doomed and appallingly costly offensive. As they marched towards the waiting German machine guns, the troops bleated like sheep.
Cassian and Rex realising they have more in common with each other than they do with the ex-Republic Senators, especially the nightmares. Neither have ever had the luxury of idealism.
They still don’t quite know what to do the first time they catch each other eyerolling across the table at the same time.
