my favorite genre is clones meeting jedi for the first time and dealing with weird force shit. the whole concept of space wizards/monks being military leaders is so funny when u think about it.
just imagine you're a soldier since birth. you're trained to be logical and strategic. then your commanding officer struts in with no armor like "okay we're doing this battle battle plan cuz it came to me in a dream last night!" or "be alert. i'm getting bad vibes." and u can't say anything bc it's ur commanding officer but ur internal monologue is just 'what the fuck what the fuck what the-'
Captain Rex (The King)
I've throughly enjoyed watching his character development since 2008.
Collectively, as a fandom, with the wonderful variety of talents that we represent?!
We've taken the source material (TCW and TBB in this case) and expanded it into this whole world, fleshing out each character with layers and layers that somehow all go together. We took a few scenes and created a ripple effect of art pieces, fanfics, mood boards, playlists, one-shots, comic strips, and so much more... and it all FITS.
Like, I think of any one of these beloved characters, and they exist not only on the screen but in this whole expanded world where we somehow all got the same ideas about them and ran with it.
It's an incredible thing to be a part of. <3
So here's to you -- artists, writers, musicians, and creatives of all types. Give yourself some credit and reblog to spread the love.
The way Rex would blush the prettiest blush if he ever knew just how many of us are head over heels for him
Rex: I’m in charge and I say no.
Fives: *punches Rex in the face knocking him out*
Fives: Oh no, Rex is injured! Kix you’re in charge now! Can I?
Kix: Whatever.
Fives: Yes! COME ON GUYS, KIX SAYS WE CAN BLOW UP THE BASE!
Thinking about how in The Outpost, the avalanche is a literal, external event that represents Crosshair’s internal struggle, and his world crumbling around him. Then in The Return, the ice wyrm is a literal creature, but it also represents the animosity between Hunter and Crosshair. The wyrm is literally under the surface, and it races towards Hunter and Crosshair as their argument escalates. Then, inside the bunker, Hunter says they have to get the wyrm outside the perimeter “before it tears this place apart”. If Hunter and Crosshair don’t reconcile, it will tear their squad apart from the inside just as surely as the worm will destroy the bunker from the inside.
i can't stop thinking about Cross checking in on Omega and offering advice she already knows. Not only because it's so sweet, but ever since I saw it for the first time, I just felt like Crosshair was just repeating things his brothers used to tell him in their own cadet/early war days.
I can imagine Hunter asking Crosshair, the "youngest", "You good?" after a crash landing. I can hear Tech's voice asking him "Got your rifle?" in place of "Got your crossbow?", just to make sure. I just know Wrecker has asked "Sure you can carry those supplies?" to him, in case he doesn't want to ask for help but will take it up on offer.
I think he added the "Stay close, it's easy to get lost in this terrain" on his own accord. That's why he's much worse. He's all of them combined into one.
Pls enjoy some miscellaneous high-contrast icons that I am tired of seeing in my drafts folder.
Fox, deadpan: You stay positive. You always believe that everything is going to work out. How do you do it?
Rex, on his last nerve: Well I’ll tell you my secret vod. I lie to myself. Every morning, when I wake up, I say everything is gonna be okay. But I’m lying. And I don’t how much longer I can do it
