#Holonet
Text
Once Tech was given a data pad, he quickly hacked it and was able to access the holonet. (Which they were not allowed to have). He and his brothers would stay up late and watch movies together. 99 caught them a couple times, but kept their secret safe.
What do you think they are watching?

Briefly thought about ordering one of those ancestry kits from the holonet that are supposed to tell you about your genetic background, but a bunch of folks on the holonet said those companies use your DNA for making clones and all sorts of other nefarious purposes.
I can't imagine anyone would want a bunch of ST-3V3 copies running around, but I decided not to go that route just the same. Better safe than sorry.
I suppose the whole "Am I part Jawa?" thing will have to remain a mystery for the time being.

Across The Holonet
The Bad Batch. Tech/Reader. | writing-positivelyexisting🫧
For the 100 followers celebration, I give you this fluffy Tech/Reader! Thank you guys! <3
Walking through your apartment door, you immediately kick off your torturous heels into the small pile of other shoes in the entrance. A sigh of relief escapes your lips, feeling the cool tile floor sink its teeth into your bare feet, and your shoulders slump slightly forward now that no one important would be looking at you. Yes, the comfy confines of your apartment is your own little safe haven and you were a-okay with it.
You toss your keys onto your small dining table that sat in its nook by the balcony and an all too familiar beep from your data pad calls to you. A smile comes to your features and the excitement in your stomach grows.
You pull it out with earnestness, your smile ever growing when you read the name and the text that came with it.
Tech: I apologize for my delayed response, but here’s why you are incorrect:
The concept of “love” is purely subjective. Any “scientific” findings can hardly be attributed as fact. “Love” is merely a concept, a fallacy. A phenomenon, if you so wish.
Now, to be honest, what this man (whom you do not actually know) said broke your heart, yet set it ablaze all the same. He did have some points, but you were going to argue to hell and back on this subject. It was kind of your livelihood.
YN: I won’t say that you are incorrect, that love is subjective. However, on a physiological level we do experience “love”. Our whole body is included when this happens, all five of our senses! There’s stages to love and even found chemistry!
You bite on your bottom lip, anxiously watching his little thought bubble illuminate as he is typing back a response.
Tech: That’s interesting you say that. Please, do explain in further detail, YN. I’m most curious about this research.
Thank the stars and Maker you live alone. The pitchy school-girl squeal you emit as you begin rapidly typing away your explanations would have surely gotten you some sideways glances. You find yourself so ecstatic to share your knowledge on romance, you are a romantic! A hopeless one maybe, but a romantic still.
You skip over to your plush bed, laying down and smiling as you send multiple texts in a row. You really are passionate about this, although the true science of love isn’t your main focus. No, it isn’t about science for you. It’s about literature. The emotions that words can have. How one can convey just so much devotion with one singular sentence!
Still, you decided to dabble in the science of love just a little. And thank the stars again because it’s proving useful right about now.
YN: Our brains release a magnitude of chemicals such as dopamine, serotonin, norepinephrine, and the chemicals oxytocin and vasopressin reinforce the attachment a couple has that makes the relationship last!
Tech: I do see how that is accurate. The chemicals you listed are definitely considered “happy” and therefore could explain “love” on a more complex level. You have done some extensive research on this matter. Is this your profession?
YN: No it’s not. I study romantic literature. Kinda a hopeless romantic, if you will. I’m a really big sucker for the “found family” trope. Do you read any literature like this?
Tech: Well, you’ve surely impressed me with the science even if it isn’t your expertise. I do read from time to time, however it is more about news articles, history texts, and manuals for all sorts of technology. What is the “found family” trope? It interests me.
You giggle to yourself. Tech reads manuals? You shake your head with a smile at this nerd on your screen, typing an answer to his question.
YN: “Found family” is when a group of unrelated characters create a sort of pseudo family based on shared or similar experiences. Usually the characters aren’t related by blood but sometimes there are characters who are maybe half siblings or adopted.
YN: Why I like this plot device so much is because I dream of having my own family someday. For now, I’ll experience my dream through fiction. What about you, Tech? Do you want to experience creating your own family?
On the receiving end of your text, Tech is stumped. He can feel his heart rate increase as he thinks about how to answer.
Tech: …that is a difficult question. It depends on what you mean. I do not think that I have ever really understood the typical emotional connections that most people have to the concept of a family. Due to reasons, of course. However, I would like to find someone…someone that I can connect with on a deep level, who I can share my life with. Do you know what I mean?
You stare in wonder at his message. What did he mean by “I do not think that I have ever really understood the typical emotional connections that most people have to the concept of family”? Surely this man has a mother and father, at the very least? No matter how many questions you have for him, you don't want to pry and make him uncomfortable.
YN: A significant other, I believe, is the concept you're looking for. And, yes. I also would like to find a significant other to share life's endeavors and to grow with.
Tech: I see. Yes, that is the concept that I am searching for. I find it difficult to comprehend this concept because I am, by nature, a rather independent and self-sufficient person. I am not used to feeling a need for someone else.
Tech: However, I would like to find someone who can help me to understand how to feel these things, if you know what I mean? I would love to help someone grow, just as I would want someone to help me to grow.
Somehow you feel like time has stopped. Reading what Tech said about wanting to find that someone kicks your heartbeat into overdrive. Your breathing is slightly out of rhythm but you feel absolutely fine. Then you close your eyes and shake your head.
You don’t know this man beyond your screen. You met him a week ago by pure chance. He had responded to a little snippet you posted on the holonet and it jostled your emotions enough for you to respond back. You and him have been talking since. Primarily, and personally, you find his comments intelligent and his conversation is so stimulative! Your friends that you know closely don’t have this kind of communication like Tech. It’s a nice change of pace, truly.
YN: I understand completely, Tech.
Tech: And how about yourself? What are your thoughts on this concept? What would you say is your definition of a perfect significant other?
Tech: To me, my perfect significant other would be someone who is willing to accept me for the man that I am, and who has some of my core traits, such as logic, independence, and an unwillingness to rely on someone else. I would like a significant other who can help to offset my shortcomings, as I would help them with theirs. I believe that such a person would be a perfect match for me. What about you, YN? What traits do you favor?
This man continues to leave you stunned. You really didn’t expect him to give you a full description of what he wants in a partner! You situate yourself to sit on your bed, no longer feeling like this conversation is lazy. It seems like he’s actually moving away into a deeper conversation with you. Does he want to get to know you more… personally?
You take a deep breath, trying very hard on getting a normal pattern again. You reread his message and figure you will simply answer his questions.
YN: I favor a man who's honest, independent, logical, and patient. I expect him to be caring, wanting to understand me for me. Who will not judge me of my past, but will help me on my journey to become a better version of myself. Of course, I would like him to enjoy some things I enjoy, but ultimately I would love for him to be different so that we may be able to learn from each other.
The rapid beating of your heart returned. There is something about this conversation that is seriously so… exciting. You can’t quite explain why, but there’s a suspicion rising in your chest. It’s subtle but there. You find yourself nibbling on your knuckle as you wait for Tech to respond.
Tech: That is an excellent choice! I am quite a firm believer myself in the idea that differences are what can create a good relationship. My belief is that if two people in a relationship are too similar, there becomes an increased risk of conflict.
Tech: Having the two people within a relationship being different allows the two people to work well together. I believe that I could work well with someone who has a good mix of similarity and differences. I think you are quite wise, YN. Would you say that you are happy with your life at the moment?
His last question makes you raise an eyebrow. No one’s asked that before. Are you happy? You lower your data pad into your lap and take a moment to reflect.
You scan your room, seeing this place you’ve built and made your home brings a small smile to your face. You think about the job you have. You love reading and writing, getting to share all sorts of information about love with others fills you with a warm feeling. You’ve got a close circle of friends which you see a few times a month and you wouldn’t trade them for anyone else. Your upbringing was normal, so no complaints there.
Though, your dating life could be better. You weren’t really dating around but you know if someone offered you wouldn’t say no. This part of your life you’ve been letting it work itself out.
You bring your data pad back into your hands and type your answer.
YN: I am content with it. Although, I believe there is something missing. I know, however, I will find what it is in due time. Maybe it’s the lack of romance in my own life… What is your opinion on finding a significant other?
Reading your message, Tech tilts his head and looks away from the screen. Your question is a little daunting to him. He’d never really thought about it.
As a newly runaway soldier of the Republic he could probably try and form his own opinion on a partner. Though, he wondered if being an ex-soldier — and now renegade of the Empire — would be an appropriate lifestyle to harbor a relationship. Still… a man can still hope, right?
Tech: I see. Yes, I do believe that you have a good outlook on it. It can be difficult to know what it is that is missing, but that does not mean that you cannot work towards finding what it is that you are missing. I am content with my life as well. Perhaps not fully happy, but that does not mean that I cannot become happy.
Tech: As to your question, I think that finding a significant other should happen when the time is right. It is important to be patient, and to look for someone who best fits your needs as a person. Would you agree?
YN: I do agree! My father used to say “patience yields focus”. I really do try and apply it everywhere in my life and so far it’s proven useful. I’m glad we can see eye-to-eye about this, Tech. I think, especially now, many people are desperate to find love on their own.
Tech: I share the same sentiment. We seem to understand each other.
Tech: Unfortunately, I do not have any more time to further our conversation today. I would very much like for this to continue, however, and of course that is if you would prefer to continue as well.
YN: I would like nothing more than to continue our conversation later. I understand life can get busy, so shoot me a message whenever you find time again.
Tech: Thank you. I will.
You put your data pad down again and let out a breath like you were under water. What was that conversation? You place a hand over your heart and can feel it violently pumping against your ribs. Shutting your eyes with a small smile you recognized this feeling all too well. The fluttering in your stomach was as tell-tale a sign as any. Yes, you have developed a crush. A crush on someone over the holonet. A crush on someone who happened to comment on your writing. A crush on Tech.
You chuckle softly to yourself. This is silly. Still, you’ve learned not to hold back your emotions and simply let them flow through you. Decidedly, you are not planning on doing anything with this crush. You were going to watch things play out for themselves. Whatever happens happens.

Since you know a lot about the GAR, and Clones in general, I was wondering what your take on "access to information" for the clones is.
Would they have unlimited access to the holonet? Could they text each other stupid stuff without anyone noticing or getting in trouble? Would a clone be able to research the most obscure stuff as long as he had time and the inclination to do it?
Or do you think the access would be limited to a need to know basis and, as a clone, you'd have to be tight with an IT-/Comms-guy or something? Or maybe it depends on how nice your General is and how strict he set the "parental controls"?😄
Hi! :D Haha, idk if I'd say I know a lot about the GAR, since neither canon nor legends explains it in any kind of way that makes sense. XD But I have thought about it a lot and come up with my own headcanons that make sense to me, a person who has never been in the military and hasn't read the gazillion SW comics, novels, etc.
So, to answer your question, I lean more toward your second set of options. I wrote up a short headcanon about my holonet headcanons for my AU here on AO3. But basically it boils down to 'I like the trash-tech aesthetic of Star Wars and I don't think things like our modern internet/texting/etc. mesh with that.'
So yes, there is a holonet in my AU, but it doesn't instantly connect every person in the Galaxy, and I think clones the GAR, in particular, have very limited access. Many governments irl restrict internet access in their countries in order to control what kind of information their citizens might encounter. So imo, both the Kaminoans and the GAR would consider it important that the clones learn as little as possible about 'normal life' and things like past proletariat or slave revolutions/uprisings; they only need to know enough to be effective soldiers, after all.
That said, I imagine there are ways around this. The initial issue is that, given the clones' indoctrination on Kamino and their extremely limited life experience at the beginning of the war, would they even consider the fact that their access to information is being restricted? Obviously some would eventually, and those trained as slicers or serving in spec ops might start poking around.
As you suggested, I also imagine it would vary somewhat by unit—if they serve under a Jedi, who the Jedi is, other people they encounter who might get them questioning things. For example, as much as I don't like Anakin, I HC that he managed to bypass most of the restrictions on the holocasters on his flagships simply because he wanted to be able to watch whatever. And the 501st benefited from that.
I also headcanon that clones' HUDs and datapads get mostly wiped with every software/firmware update the GAR pushes out, which makes it more difficult for them to save images or other files, or to leak those to anyone outside the GAR.
Haha, sorry that got so long, and I hope it made sense. Like I said, I have thought about all this a lot in the name of preserving SW's trash-tech vibe. XD;
Thanks for the interesting ask! Do you have any particular headcanons?

"Christophsis was bad, eh?"
Obi-Wan snorted. "What makes you think so? By all accounts the HoloNet news footage was positively stirring."
Dex squinted, considering him. "And so it was. I think they filmed it somewhere on Alderaan with a holovid company supplying the special effects."
Obi-Wan stared. "Since when were you such a cynic?"
"War brings out my better nature," said Dex, and stubbed out the butt of his cheroot on the diner's dumpster.
"Not this time it doesn't. The footage was real enough, Dex. Those blasted droidcams were everywhere we turned. But I suspect what ended up being broadcast was heavily edited."
Edited so the only death and destruction people saw was the death of droids. The destruction of fear. Slaughtered clones weren't... photogenic.
"Of course it was," said Dex, his cynicism still richly flowing.
"I don't entirely disagree with the decision, you know," Obi-Wan said gently. "The edited footage didn't lie, after all. We were victorious. Eventually. But what's the point of frightening people? The Core Worlds must remain calm and stable. You know that. Panic is contagious, and it spreads fast. If we let it take hold in the heart of the Republic, a great many people could be hurt. Even killed."
"That's true enough," Dex admitted. "But if you make this war too neat and tidy, Obi-Wan, could be folks won't mind how long it lasts. Then again, maybe it's different for you Jedi. Being as how you're warriors, and all."

What if during the clone wars someone impersonated corporations of separatist on Holonet and started commenting on what they were going to do now they weren't under republic rule, and then the real accounts had to go public that this was not what they wanted.
Basically stuff on how to help those in need due to the war, how they want the war to stop.
Yes this is based on recent Twitter blue check mark posts where they had to say these were not their values.

Don't you hate going on the holonet to get a new Shell model, only to be flooded with technoreligious popups mixed in with the badly formatted specs of the new model?

Since Hux probably grew up around people who were part of the old Empire, I asked him if clones had belly buttons (the holonet is surprisingly silent on this topic.).
He said, "I don't know. Did Snoke have one?" and walked away.
Wait.
What?

I don't care what the hatman says I firmly believe Ahsoka is not describing Anakin as anything other than the most cringefail jedi ever.
When she finds out Anakin is Darth Vader? The same Vader she's been fighting against for a decade? The same Vader who's crimes she's had a front row seat for in the rebellion? Who killed all the friends and family she grew up with and is now also killing the new friends and family she's managed to scrape together in the ashes of everything she ever knew? Who puppets around the 501st, her and Rex's brothers, the men who trusted him with their lives, as nothing more than mindless murderers? Ohoho she wants him dead sooo bad. She takes 3 business days to process then comes back with full murderous rage unlocked. She's outside his evil lair banging pots and pans together telling him to square the fuck up, Master. Her Cain instinct is fully activated. Move outta the way old man, Ahsoka's going to do what she must and she's actually going to follow through with her words.
Obi-Wan's got the cornerstone on depression, Ahsoka's got rage covered, together they almost form one healthy grief response. (I'm imagining them both living at the same rebel base post O66 and the twins going between them for wildly contrasting takes on their dad lmao)
#she's hopping on the holonet and setting up bots to call darth vader a bitch ass little loser on every social media platform#this is her most important work as Fulcrum#also Rex too he fucking hates Vader for what he did to the 501st Ahsoka might eventually make peace with it all but he will fucking not#and thats so valid of him king#Vader being just a little proud of how good Ahsoka is when she duels him which just makes her even more mad because he has no right anymore#slightly scared cause this feels like a hot take in this fandom#ahsoka tano#darth vader#star wars

The most tragic thing about boba fett is his dad never taught him how to roll so his rollies look like Dog Shit and he just says he doesnt smoke instead
#boba fett#ahsoka learned from anakin who learned from Aayla who learned from quinlan#and ahsoka taught rex and rex looked disapproving the whole time#cody learned from the holonet#he doesnt even smoke#no one taught wolffe and theyre too scared to mention that hes shit at it#hes shit at it because he doesnt care
