Happy Birthday @sapphireswimming!!! Hope the day’s been great. Wasn’t sure what to do at first, but have some bridge crew headcanons, because your fics are always really good to them and also they need more content.
At some point during a break in armed interventions, Lasse, who canon tells us was a member of a mafia, teams up with Ian to teach the younger bridge crew members to play poker. He also teaches Feldt and Christina to count cards and generally cheat, because they’re smart enough to do it better than him, and then sends them off to clean Neil, Ian, and Moreno out of whatever they feel like betting. (They win a lot of candy, alcohol that only Christina can drink, and a pair of Ian’s old combat boots)
They all have favorite Gundams, in terms of their fighting capabilities. There are impassioned arguments on the bridge, sometimes. (Feldt definitely likes Dynames because of it’s technical specifications and for no other reasons, she insists.)
All of them, from Chris to Milena, are trained in how to pilot Ptolemy solo, how to operate the weapons alone, and how to do basic communications, regardless of their actual duties. Milena gets the most training because she comes on after Fallen Angels, when the possibility of things going wrong is more immediate.
Christina makes most of Feldt’s fashion choices for the length of their acquaintance. Feldt likes Christina’s taste, and Christina seems to have so much fun doing it. Whereas Feldt doesn’t see the point. A year or more after Fallen Angels, she starts using fashion blogs to study up, as a way to carry on where Chris left off.
Milena feels like the odd one out at first, given how young she is and how much shared history the rest of them have. Even after Feldt takes her under her wing, it takes her a while to feel she belongs on the bridge.
Lichty almost never gets angry, not at anyone, so the few times he does, he practically shuts down the whole room, because everyone’s so surprised they stop talking. Probably the most notable time was a few weeks into armed interventions, when Tieria crossed a line and Lichty snapped, surprising even Tieria and giving Neil enough time to step in and referee.
Lasse and Neil both have a bit of a fondness for dive bars, so the two of them have spent leave time together finding the most disreputable place they can and going there to drink. They don’t actually start barfights with people for insulting CB, but they did once join in on one that was already going.
