Well there’s only 3 million other characters he could be playing
I used to get irritated and be completely baffled by why Rex always gets to go on the cool missions with Obi-Wan Anakin and Ahsoka when Cody doesn’t but then I realized
Cody is the marshal commander and is busy running half the damn army he doesn’t have time to go on random ass side quests someone has to be the adult and stay home
I feel like we always see parents who are 100% super supportive allies, or parents who are horrible and cruel. At least in media or in the most popular stories. But I feel like that ignores just how many people have parents where you just have no idea? And even if you think they’ll accept you on a surface level, you don’t know if they have a breaking point. Especially if you need to go on hrt, or request they change the way they think about and refer to you. Sure they’re liberal and all, or centrists, or “tolerant”, but how far does that stretch?
I think most closeted LGBT+ kids live like this, wading around in the grey area. I’d like it of more of us knew that was normal, I’d like if we talked about it more.
I swore off Tumbr years ago but I rejoined this hellsite for Quality Clone Content... Yeah I’m going to regret this
I'm obsessed with the people wondering how Boba got a dent on a beskar helmet and how that shouldn't even be possible if he was in it, because if he was in it he should be dead, because it really goes to show absolutely NONE of you know SHIT about working with metal. Literally the most logical conclusion is that his armor isn't pure beskar. That's it. The metal was blended with other metals. That's all you gotta know. If it was Jaster's armor first, which the translation of the chain code points to,, odds are even as Mand'alor he never changed his armor from what he wore as a Journeyman Protector. Jaster was working class. He probably couldn't afford pure beskar for his armor. He wasn't a Kryze or a Vizla. He was straight up a working class man. And he represented working class Mandalorians. That's why so many of them rallied to him. Ofc he wasn't going to swap his armor to pure beskar. Why would he? That impure armor, blended with cheap metals, was the symbol of everything he stood for, everything people found hope in.
So, yeah. The crack headcanons are really fun, but Jaster Mereel appreciation pls?
Also, this means Din literally has higher quality armor than Boba fucking Fett.
i like that mando knows many languages and is respectful to other people but also he does kill people for money. he has a strong moral compass but no one really knows where its pointing
Glitch was supposed to be a throwaway character but now I’m Attached™️ and in the process of making him a whole squad.
Empire-controlled Kamino is a lot stricter than in the Jedi days, no hair cuts, no tattoos, so when he’s busted out he absolutely goes wild. At one point Waxer has to intervene because he’s fried his hair from bleaching and re-dying it too many times (as a medic he should know better but...), so he settles on shaving different patterns into the side.
Like, Anakin might not know that Rex defected. He promoted Appo but technically Appo’s still second in command of the 501st, under Rex (Rex is still listed as a Captain because Anakin is really really fucking awful at paperwork). And then when Rex doesn’t show up, the obvious conclusion is that he’s dead, but Anakin still doesn’t let him get listed as MIA or KIA because that’s HIS CAPTAIN, dammit, and he’s lost Ahsoka, Padme, Obi-Wan, and literally everything else he ever cared about, he doesn’t want to face having lost Rex, too. And he works better with Rex than with anyone else (mostly because Rex has become accustomed to his bullshit and is Very Good at taking Anakin’s spectacularly stupid nonsense and Making It Work), and really he can’t picture leading the 501st with anyone OTHER than Rex at his side.
And then Rex keeps not coming back. But Vader still doesn’t remove him from the system. For years and years. And eventually everyone stops mentioning it to him because they tend to get force-murdered if they do.
So long story short, Rebels-era Rex is technically the commanding officer of Vader’s Fist, and the system still recognizes his codes and lets him in, and technically if he walked up to any stormtrooper while wearing his old helmet, the networks would recognize him and tell the stormtrooper that’s your CO. So if Rex realized this, he could just waltz in and take control of the most feared stormtrooper legion in the galaxy and as long as Vader wasn’t around, no one would stop him (they’d all be very confused, but they wouldn’t stop him). And maybe vader walks up at this point like “what the hell is going on here” and sees Rex and is just like “REX there you are where the FUCK have you been?” and Rex is like “uuuhhhh i had engine trouble on the way back from Mandalore” and it’s been 20 years but Vader knows how shitty Rex is at piloting and really anything involving flying and ships so he’s like “sounds legit”
