Clone Trooper Rex - Blog Posts

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

Do you think this matches their dynamic?

God okay I'm just. So fucking tired. So here's a list of resources to educate yourself on issues within Star Wars. In light of the Bad Batch Finale and the announcement of the second season, it's vital that you educate yourself about the racism and other issues present.

Reminder that you cannot be in the middle. You are either racist or anti-racist. If you do not practice anti-racism and choose to stay "neutral", you are only supporting a system that constantly perpetuates racism and harms people.

And if for some reason, you think I'm overreacting; for some reason, you think I'm sensitive; for some reason, your first instinct is to get defensive and lash out; you really need to do some thinking as to why you want to scream at POC who just want the right to be recognized and seen. Who just want the right to not be erased.

And if you think this is "not good enough" because they're "just blog posts" or whatever - don't bullshit me. Even if I posted a shit ton of scholarly articles you wouldn't have read them anyway if you're coming at me with excuses for why you think the discrimination is okay. These posts are accessible, and well-written, and straight from the lived experiences of the many minorities and the allies that want to amplify their voices. I'm not asking you to take everything at face value. I'm asking you to do your own research and engage in some critical thinking instead of blindly accepting what you're given.

*Disclaimer: while I have read these sources, i read some a while ago and if there's an issue you have with some of them let me know!

(If your post is listed and you want me to take it off the list please dm me and let me know!)

The Bad Batch

#unwhitewashtbb carrd - with extensive resources here that speak about the Māori people, their culture, and the current issues they face. If you care about them, then read these resources and amplify their voices.

Petition to #unwhitewashtbb

Why you're actively supporting racism if you decide not to support anti-racist movements because you "have beef with someone" who's an anti-racist

The importance of speaking about #unwhitewashtbb, from a Polynesian fan (With another post by them!)

How Kanan is whitewashed

Clone Whitewashing #1 - how the SW crew most definitely knows how to animate dark-skinned clones with proper facial features yet chose not to

Clone Whitewashing #2 - with really clear pictures of the whitewashing

Clone Whitewashing #3 - with an extensive Temura Morrison reference sheet

Issues with Echo's design

Reasons why the take that "Omega is light-skinned because she's based on Temura Morrison's sister" and the take that "Polynesian people can be light-skinned too you're just being racist" are absolute shit takes (similar post, #2)

How Fennec Shand is whitewashed - the intricacies of her design

Fixed Fennec Shand design

How Temura Morrison has previously also been whitewashed in SW media

The Clone Wars

Islamophobia in Barriss Offee's portrayal, from a muslim woman.

How Barriss is muslim-coded, from a muslim woman.

Feel free to add further resources in reblogs or just send them straight to me and I'll add them!

Oh, and by the way, if you think "it's just fiction you're just overreacting this doesn't hurt anyone": news flash: it sure does.

CBC News: Anti-Asian Racism in the media

Role of Media in anti-asian racism

NPR: Hollywood colorism

How the media fuels anti-black racism

Ways anti-indigenous racism is expressed in media and in other ways

NBC News: Rise in anti-asian racism

Resources on anti-black racism

What I've listed above is only a single drop in a massive ocean. There are so, so many other minority groups who are also suffering that I haven't listed. I haven't even touched on homophobia, on transphobia, and I've barely touched on ableism, not to mention that there's so many other issues out there. I haven't talked about the issues with how the Tuskens are portrayed, or how Watto is portrayed, or how Jar Jar Binks was portrayed, or how Kelly Marie Tran was treated, or how Trace and Rafa Martez were treated, or how the fandom hates Mace Windu, or how Poe's backstory was butchered, or much, much more. If you have more resources, please please please share them in the reblogs. It is impossible to encompass everything in a single post, but we sure as hell can try.

Alright. I've given you the resources. I've given you my time and energy. It's up to you now to educate yourself. It's ok to make mistakes - we're constantly learning and unlearning. It's ok to need to take breaks, and to save this for later because you're tired and the world is going to shit. We are human.

But it's not okay to stay willfully ignorant. It's not okay to constantly try and belittle the trauma and struggles of minorities just because you've been okay living in a system that's built on oppression. Educate yourself.

One more tip: when reblogging or sharing your own resources, flood your tags with everything to do with Star Wars. Flood the Crosshair tag. Flood the Hunter and Omega tag. Flood the tags, because this is relevant to their characters and to the entire saga, and fans need to know.

Including tags of the people I posted resources from under the cut!

CT-7567.

Rex.

Captain Rex.

reblog if you agree

I just want someone to draw rex with freckles everywhere in a sunflower field with the glowing morning light hitting his face, is that too much to ask?

Okay, I've been thinking about this for a while, so I decided to draw it out

Bonus:

Redrawed an old piece I painted back in '22.

In general I don't like this job as much as the last one, but this one is better, so let people see it :)

I'm painting art on Monnk and Kit Fisto right now, so more art coming soon

Clone Wars characters as stuff I’ve heard people say

“This looks like my 7th grade badminton tournament” - Ahsoka

A Well Deserved Rest

Summary: Although he's very proud of the rebel cell he's been able to build over the last few months, Rex is exhausted. When he finds a quiet moment to rest, Ahsoka ensures he finds the rest he deserves.

Please enjoy this cute little fic <3

Captain Rex is finally finished! ✨✨

More sketches to come eventually. Don’t worry.

clone baddies wya

come get yall juice!! (tears)

ahsoka. my og blorbo. my bbdoll. my sweet pea. my angel.

mayhaps i have to do one for plo now

(x) click me!

IM BACK IN THE FUCKING BUILDING

makes me very happy that tumblr still loves incorrect quotes cus bitch me too

did anyone tell anakin about the inhibitor chips or were his last memories of the 501st handing them off to ahsoka and then them proceeding to try and kill her

do u think he blamed himself.

do u think he did the same "well she left the order a while ago" that rex pulled.

do u think he kept ahsoka's lightsaber along with the padawan strand in a drawer on the death star.

do u think luke ever reminded him of her.

did anakin ever get to grieve ahsoka.

one thing that i really loved about this scene (other than the fact that they matched up anakin and ahsoka's heights to their TCW counterparts) is you see how out of place she looks on a battlefield.

ahsoka is a child.

and while yeah there's plenty of quips about her being short or young or inexperienced, she's never actually treated her age (mostly because the clones have no concept of real aging).

but here, it's plain as fucking day dude.

commander tano, who doesn't even come up past rex's chest.

commander tano, who led them into the siege of mandalore.

commander tano, who grew up on the battlefield memorizing attack plans instead of memorizing the basic alphabet.

she deserved to be a kid too.
