aang: yeah, i'm a pacifist, i don't believe in violence
zuko: what? that's a thing?
aang: yeah, i mean, i grew up around monks who taught me to solve my problems through means other than fighting
zuko: interesting
zuko: i grew up with my father literally trying to kill me just for having opinions
zuko: i'm just now realising that my childhood was kind of messed up
Just Rex now. Nothing more.
Decided to put up my little character study on ao3 and then drew a little something to go with it :)
someone in a rexsoka server req’d “get help”
My boy Rex...
So I've been thinking about this scene right here:
I always found it odd that Rex would mention Hevy in that list despite only knowing him for such a short amount of time. Especially when you think of Hardcase who we know has fought beside him for a long time or Tup who died right before Fives. That is until I remembered what happened in the episode Rookies when Rex goes:
And later in the episode we see this:
And then it shows Rex leaving first because "I'm always first."
And we all know how that episode ends.
Now move ahead to Plan of Dissent and what do we see?
Rex is in the back. He probably blamed himself for Hevy's death and felt guilty for being the first one out not even realizing Hevy wasn't with them. He was the one to give Hevy the job to fix the remote. He never stopped to check if Hevy was behind them until it was to late. He mentions Hevy because he was probably Rex's biggest regret. He was a shiny who just saw real combat for the first time. Rex probably spent nights lying awake thinking of how Hevy's death could have been avoided. Of what he could have done different. It's something he probably never lets himself forget.
I'm a simple man making his way through the galaxy.
So I was going through a drawer of stuff from when I was little and I found this…
