yanno in rewatching cw I realised something. Filoni claims that cw was always meant to be about Ahsoka and Rex, but like,,, while we do get more content of those two by the end of the show the first like 4 seasons has Rex as a minor background character, who's basically just there to support Anakin in his sieges.
I mean yeah, he had his one solo eps with Cut Laquane and those two episodes with Cody, but it's mainly just about Anakin and Obi Wan (and yeah, Ahsoka is there a lot, but we don't get a lot of character development on her part till also like season 4).
Rex's first like "own" arc is those 4 episodes about Umbara (which is a crime in and of itself).
Like, don't get me wrong, I still LOVE cw and I do enjoy most episodes (can't say "all" bc Jar Jar), but if its really supposed to be about Ahsoka and Rex?
Show me how they grow together in their relationship
show me how Rex went from tightly wound shiny to smart and decisive captain who doesn't blindly follow orders (the process, not just the turning point in the umbara arc)
show me Rex teaching Ahsoka about loss and leadership
show me Ahsoka slowly realising her responsibility
show me Rex screwing up on a mission and dealing with the consequences
show me Rex on a day off with his brothers
show me Ahsoka on a day off with the clones/her fellow Jedi Padawans
show me how the rest of the 501st see captain rex from their perspective
show me all the layers and facets of their, for lack of a better word, humanity.
I wanna reiterate that I love clone wars, and that I do think they did a good job on the show. just also think that there is a lot of lost potential on the Ahsoka and Rex's development front.

too sleepy to elaborate at this time but I miss the old fandom culture of interacting with fanfic writers and fanfic artists as members of the fandom community who enjoyed engagement and discussion and feedback instead of the modern trend of seeing us as content creators up on a pedestal who don't need positive feedback but DO need to churn out constant content to feed the a03 machine

bsd is good because people don't just go "damn this sucks" and then get better. those bitches get dragged kicking and screaming and fighting towards a better life for themselves all while actively against it every step of the way.

I will never be able to convey how funny it is to be autistic with a Hobie Brown fixation
Yelling about Hobie Brown at 10 in the morning
I know it might be too early for this shit but I'm sorry (no I'm not)
Like every morning I will look at a picture of him within fifteen minutes of waking up and everyday the first time I see him I am filled with an indescribable sense of peace care and comfort
Like if you know you know I genuinely can't describe it
Like just knowing I have access to him is like a sense of relief and joy. Half the time it feels like the color in the world doesn't turn on until I have my First Hobie Thought of the day
I wake up on morning and gaze at this photo as I am filled with the unfulfillable urge to cup his face in my head and kiss his cheeks MWAH
His waist, his arms. I want to hug him so badly 😭😩
I'm sitting here staring at photos of SpiderPunk using all my rickety ass brain power trying to imagine his expressions with the mask off
His fingers.... the details on his hands and forearms. Holding on to the guitar. his mannerisms and the bounce in his walk
And I do this EVERY MORNING.
sitting on the toilet for twenty minutes scrolling the Hobie Brown Pinterest tag frantically for the one screenshot that HITS
AND it HAS to be a screenshot. Fanart is nice but unless it's a direct screencap my brain is like 'nice art but That's Not Him. I need to see The Real Him'
As if it's not all just drawings and lines and shit like GIRL GET A GRIP?????!!!!!! PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER
If I'm stressed out gets worse. I guarantee you I think about him like 30% more when stressed to even the slightest degree. My echolalia makes me repeat the phrase 'Hii Hobie!!' quietly to myself at random
CAN'T TAKE IT ANYMORE
You RUINED my year Hobie I was supposed to Do Things and Be Normal this year and look what you've done!!!!!
Do you have anything to say for yourself, you beautiful british bastard??!!!!! HUH????? ANSWER ME!!! (I'm yelling at a drawing. Send help)
