Captain Rex - Blog Posts
bring them home to me please
Posting this before I convince myself not to.
Got a couple of stories bouncing around in the back of my head, decided to finally put one down and see how felt...
[See rant below]
SO
Basically, Krell orders the decommission of Rex before his death because he loathes the man for (inserts many reasons) . The order doesn't go through until after his death, but Rex still gets snatched away to Kamino. They decide not to decommission him, but recondition him instead because he has so many skills and such promising performance.
Insert this new lil ARC, just doin his thing with amazing success rates, but he's super introverted and quiet. Fives starts hanging around him, trying to open the new kid up (as he does). Eventually he finds out just who the new kid with the funky scarring is.
Chaos, angst and feels ensue.
A little late to the party. Was hoping to get this out for May the Fourth, but eh, such is life...
Just a continuation of a ridiculous little comic that I made last year and was recently reminded about. Don't mind my scuffed sense of humor, feel free to just keep scrolling. XD

Lil late to the party, but....
Popped onto Tumblr and realized what day it was. Then proceeded to speed run a quick meme.

Revenge of the Sixth (PT.2)
May the Fourth Be With You (PT.3)
I posted a new fic!
https://archiveofourown.org/works/65094643
It’s an ongoing series containing short (and I mean short) works of my clone OCs. Give it a read!
I would like to introduce one of my many clone trooper OCs:
This is CT-4782 “SwoopDeWoop”
Everyone calls him Swoop though because his they think his full name is fucking stupid.
Here’s some fun facts!
A member of the 501st
He’s a jet trooper
He’s petty and always knocking things over like a cat
He steals and pulls pranks for attention
He’s aroace
Quotes (used from a random quote generator):
Swoop: If you don't stop talking, I'm going to jump out of that window.
Rex: ...We're on the ground floor.
Swoop: I know but I want a dramatic exit.
——————
Rex: We need a plan to beat them.
Swoop: Okay, listen up. First, we fill their shoes with wet cat food.
Rex:
Swoop: Judge me all you want, I get results.
I used a clone creator website to make the armor; I can post the link if anyone wants it

Actual footage of Hunter telling Rex about his encounter with Cad Bane
Someone pointed this out on a Gif set and it reminded me of some video someone did about it but in spanish so here i am
Thanks for putting that in my mind
So after Ahsoka’s “death” in rebels, Rex would get a tattoo in memory of her, maybe her symbols with some other details and the text “I am one with the force, the force is with me”.
When rewatching this arc this scene is my favorite before disaster hits
I've made a new header image for my vk art blog
New/Old
A year gap between them
first time drawing clone armour think it went alright
Back on my 501st shenanigans lmao
(friend of mine started watching TCW, i felt the need to cheer them up after season 3 lol so i made this, more doodles on the same page to come soon!!)
Friends at the end of the Republic | Ahsoka & Rex, by illustrator, Veronica Ruffato
to me this is a canon event
Clone Wars AU: what if’s, featuring “what if everyone lived and outmaneuvered Order 66 and Cody and Rex became, like, space cowboys, among other things”
“When you throw caution to the wind, and take chances…where is he?”
“Right beside me.”
I made two more, and probably gonna make more once I’m done with all commissions (and once uni is finally over lol)
Wolffe and Plo
Cody and Obi-Wan
my gods, there's gotta be a be a fall guy au anidala fic, i can just picture them in the movie man. Like if i were to cast Anakin is Colt, Padme is Jody (honestly this is wut makes me ask for this in the first place) Rex as Dan, Ahsoka as Tom's assistance ig but she gets more plot relevance because of course she does, Obi wan as Nigel ( Satine is also there cuz why not), maybe Rush as Tom, idk who would be Gail, go wild on that really. Like i really want this to happen man pls pls pls
Padme Amidalia asked AT LEAST once whether Anakin was into *her* or into her badassery. She was how he looked at Rex, decided it was both, and then proceeded to kick Palpatines ass in public for meeting with A 9 YEAR OLD boy when he was a senator.
Obi-Wan tells EVERY news station that asks that Palpitine KEPT ASKING until they HAD to say yes. Anakin reads it, thinking it’s about two different people and says that that ‘sleemo shouldn’t have EVER been granted access to a kid like that’!… a lot of things are put into perspective after that. Padme and Anakin bring Rex into their couple. Everyone is happy except Palpitine.
IS HONDO IN YOU SQUAD AU??! There would be even more chaos!
i haven't gotten that fair yet for the full story but he definitely has his appearances.
ahsoka & maul have known him before, barriss only knows about him in talks and ventress has no fucking clue about him - she's not impressed.
when he see's ahsoka he's so surprised "your alive! thank goodness!" and even hug her, ahsoka is too much in shock to see him still alive in the empire era.
"we haven't seen each other in so long! tell me, when was our last meeting?"
"when you tired to sell me dead or alive,"
cue maul drawing his saber at the pirate, barriss in shock and ventress just glares, but both kill him if need be.
he casually flirts with the girls with ticks them off, and when he moves onto ahsoka maul GROWLS and he backs away awkwardly and moves on.
they talk things out (they still don't trust him but get along in some ways) and he exchanges them information without any kind of payment (thanks to maul's & ventress's threats).
i have thought of a scene where it's just ahsoka & hondo, sitting alone after an attack by darth vader - it's silent and ahsoka says, in such a quiet and tired voice, that it's anakin. hondo is shocked but leans back heavily in his seat " oh no...that poor boy..." and ahsoka just tears up, and for a rare moment, hondo is genuinely comforting her (a hug, rubs on her back and quiet "sssh"s). it's heartbreaking cause yay angst!
also: rex does NOT get along with hondo at all - doesn't like him and would rather keep far away from hondo as possible.
Commission for @lindsaygallof
the way that they have been through so much together and know each other so well that even though Ahsoka has been gone for MONTHS and MONTHS they can STILL fight side by side like separate parts of a single warrior. They compliment each other so perfectly and THAT my friends is THAT on being platonic soulmates
So Rex spends his time trying to stop his General from undertaking reckless plans without consulting General Kenobi.
And Cody is constantly trying to make his General look after himself without resorting to calling the healers or General Skywalker.
Meanwhile Wolffe has to stop his General from adopting all the things andPonds spends a lot of time trying to convince General Windu to let THEM do the protecting.
And we’ve just decided that whichever poor Clone Commander was assigned to Kit Fisto faces a constant battle to stop him fighting naked.
So what other bad habits do the Jedi have that the clones need to deal with? Does Vos constantly go AWOL? Why foibles does Aayla have that drive Bly nuts? What about Luminara?
Anyway one of the reasons I’m so mad about Order 66 is the fact that a happy ending would have meant that Clone Culture and Jedi Culture would mix because they basically adopted each other and it would have been beautiful
Jedi are peacekeepers and they are more than happy to return to their role but war still haunts them and leaves its marks. Many are happy to get rid of their armor, others not so much
Padawans who survived and grow into Knights who keep parts of their armor, painted in the color of their battalion
New Padawans who pick up an armor and paint it in colors meaningful to them after their first mission! Imagine excited kids coming back going “Look! My armor has its first scratch!!!” And a clone being so happy for this tiny Shinie
Which also: Language. Okay. So much slang becoming casual in the temple but also Mando’a. Shinie and Padawan becoming pretty synonymous after a few years.
And like, going on missions without clones just feels kinda weird at this point. And they just attach themselves to their Jedi for missions because sure, we’re not fighting A War™️ anymore but Skywalker and Kenobi are still Skywalker-and-Kenobi and We Know Better
Also Force-sensitive clones because canon robbed us of that. Which starts the whole age debate. And then somebody (Anakin who is busy being a Dad and also a Master bc he deserved it after defeating Sidious) goes “I mean. The oldest are actually only 15 and also we should listen to the Force”
And the Council is already so tired, Skywalker has been taking his adorable super strong kids to meetings basically everyday, Plo Koon legally adopted the Wolfpack as soon as Clones were recognized as citizens of the Republic (he had the adoption papers on his person so he could make use of them ASAP) might as well change the code
So Clone Padawans!!! And later Knights!!!! And they’re so proud of it.
On the other hand, a lot of clones adapt Jedi practices! Learn their code to make it through the memories of war because bred soldier or not - it leaves scars
They meditate! Some of them might even actually kinda know how to handle a lightsaber because their Jedi keep losing theirs
They first get Jedi tunics because that’s just what they have at the temple and when you need to supply a lot is people with casual clothes, that’s a good start. Some clones branch out, others don’t. They’re comfortable and the whole cape/robe drop is badass
Tattoos! Not really a thing for the Jedi as a culture before, but they become more and more popular so that Masters legit have to make sure their underaged Padawans won’t get any.
Sharing last names! Like, objectively, them optioning for going by “Fett” is funny for so many reasons, most of them related to Boba having to sit through various “No, not that Fett” talks but also! Jedi offering up their last names! Plo already adopted his batch but I bet Cody introduces himself as “Kenobi” and Obi-Wan doesn’t even blink like “It suits you, Commander”.
Also Ahsoka and Rex coming home because we deserve that and Ahsoka and Anakin nearly throwing hands about Who Gets To Give Rex Their Last Name. (RIP to them because Padmé was quicker and Rex Amidala sounds ten times as cool)
Tiny younglings!!! Being so honored when they can share a name with a Clone. Imagine a small little Twi’lek Initiate being HYPED when a Commander accepts her name. A hero! Thinking you’re very brave!
The Senate maybe goes “but the clones don’t belong to you-“ at the start but are shut up very quickly.
Just give me the Clones and Jedi in the aftermath of the war living together peacefully.
Omg, Domino squad getting saved because one of them turns into a dragon at Rishi and just completely loses it at the thought of any of the Dominos getting hurt. Just completely wrecks the droids with no thought to self preservation and maybe even gets hurt quite badly cuz they went so far beyond their limits. Rex and Cody arrive to absolute carnage and have to talk down this dragon that won't let any of their squad away from where they can protect them
Cody, to Rex: I put you in charge, this is your problem.
Rex asking alpha questions on how he raised littles because ahsoka is so small and he is basically her orivod/buir now.to Frodo’s delight that makes alpha basically ahsoka’s grandfather
Hahaha Fordo is such an instigator and we love him for it
I made myself laugh with the dialogue a few times so I hope it's as funny to everyone who reads it XD
Taglist: @a-lil-perspective @merspots @delta-the-mando @the-mandalorian-clone-lover @dudewhynotthis @jessesriduur uhh sorry to the people I forgot I'm so tired lmao
It doesn’t come as a surprise to Alpha that the 501st’s latest addition - Skywalker’s shadow, a Togrutan girl who doesn’t seem far removed from her first handling of a lightsaber - is every bit as inquisitive and brash as her Master was, not so long ago.
The details are hardly relevant, of course, but Alpha vividly remembers being frustrated and amused in turns by Skywalker’s antics when he was still Kenobi’s Padawan. So when Rex comes to him, looking half out of his mind with exasperation, Alpha finds his sympathy is greatly outweighed by amusement.
“I don’t know what to do with her,” Rex says plaintively when he’s finally exhausted every instance of Tano’s creativity somehow making its way into Torrent’s battle strategies.
“Same thing you would do with any cadet,” Alpha answers with a shrug. “It’s straightforward enough.”
“But that’s the thing - I have no idea what to do with a cadet, either,” Rex says, and there’s definitely a note of desperation in his voice now.
As per usual, Fordo decides it’s high time he contributes to the conversation. “You and Alpha are in the same boat, then.”
“Shabuir,” Alpha says, affronted. “I knew what I was doing.”
Fordo turns to Rex, grinning like the di’kut he is. “In that case, I’m sure Sev will have all kinds of advice for you.”
Fordo is entirely too clever for his own good, Alpha decides, but resolves to take it up with him later in the face of Rex’s distress. He really doesn’t have the first clue what to do with a scrappy little Padawan, but Rex doesn’t need to know that.
“Just do what Skywalker does,” Alpha finally says, and regrets it almost immediately. He may not know much about kids, but he’s pretty sure that if he were responsible for assigning a Padawan to a Master, Skywalker would be his last choice. “... or not.”
Luckily, Rex seems to be thinking along similar lines. “He’s got an unusual method. That’s how General Kenobi puts it, anyways.”
“Technically, his Padawan shouldn’t be your responsibility,” Alpha points out. “But seeing as it’s Skywalker…”
“I have to fill in the gaps,” Rex supplies diplomatically. “So how did you handle it on Kamino, then?”
“With a lot of swearing,” Fordo says, utterly shameless.
“With a lot of - no, not with a lot of swearing - well - with a lot of, uh… creativity.”
“He doesn’t like kids,” Fordo adds.
“I never said - cadets are a handful and you know it.”
“Don’t let him fool you,” Fordo continues, conveniently deaf to Alpha’s indignation but still grinning all the same. “He didn’t have the first clue what he was doing.”
“Are you done?” Alpha demands.
Fordo feigns concentration. “No, I don’t believe so.”
“Ne’johaa,” Alpha grumbles, then turns to Rex. “Just… make sure she doesn’t get killed.”
“You’ve really improved your bedside manner, ner vod.”
“I’m going to kill you,” Alpha promises. “She’ll be old enough to take care of herself soon enough,” he adds, returning to Rex. “Help her as needed and let her learn from her mistakes. Simple as that.”
Rex’s relief is palpable. “Help her. That, I can do. Thanks, Alpha.”
“Ba’gedet’ye. Now get out of here before Skywalker blows something else up.”
“I can see the headlines now,” Rex sighs, and unclips his helmet from his belt. “I’m sure I’ll be seeing you before too long, if those two keep going at the rate they do.”
“I’m sure,” Alpha agrees drily, and he can’t help but laugh at the look on Rex's face.
Rex makes his way out of the room. No sooner does the door close than Fordo turns to Alpha, a crooked grin spreading across his face once more.
Alpha lets out a sigh of his own. “I’ll bite. What?”
“So if Tano is Skywalker’s Padawan, and Rex is sort of like her buir… does that make you her ba’buir?”
“Fordo - ”
