Happy boi Rex, that’s honestly not in my forte without a little angst. But he deserves to just be happy, now doesn’t he?


◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇◆◇

  • So Rex is very good about keeping his hair cut, like to the point where he trims it after every campaign. But there was a time when he just didn’t.
  • His hair was rather long, you could run your fingers through it and actually style it. And leeme say, this babe got a lot of compliments on his beautiful blond hair that seemingly sparkled in the sun
  • His face was red from embarrassment almost the entire time and Cody was laughing so hard. When Rex cut it, a lot of people were sad, but Rex was so relieved he didn’t have to listen to Cody’s dumb laughter anymore.
  • (Okay but like seriously- imagine our baby with longer hair- he’d look so cute-
  • Cody got Rex a sleeping mask and slippers as a joke, but Rex honestly loves them. He’ll be in his blacks with some lavender slippers and a matching sleeping mask on his forehead as he goes to make sure everyone’s back for curfew
  • Rex and Anakin have that bitter type of friendship. When they’re not being professional, they’re very passive aggressive with each other.
  • Anakin *eating Rex’s chips*: man these are so good, I’m not gonna share these with anyone"
  • Rex: They are good, aren’t they? I didn’t want to share them either.
  • Rex loves to snacks. He hates sweets though, so it’s anything salty. He’ll have pretzels with his morning caf. You want him to forget that you’re on cleaning duty? Slide him a bag of lays or trail mix.
  • Rex knows Cody doesn’t like General Skywalker, and sometimes, neither does Rex. So everynow and then, the two will be chilling in the barracks or whatever and just bitch about Anakin. (They mainly make fun of his hair and his ‘secret’ relationship with a certain senator).
  • Rex’s favorite color is lavender you cannot change my mind. Their color is only blue because of Anakin.
  • Rex has a lot of nicknames, but only certain people can call him by them without getting stuck on cleaning duty or whatever. Ahsoka calls him Rexster. Fives and Echo can call Rex a bottled blond or goldy locks. And Cody can call him whatever he wants. But if anyone else dares to call him something- book to the face.
  • He honestly gets embarrassed rather easily. Or at least he used too. He’s very good at hiding behind his bucket, but that’s also how you know he’s embarrassed.
  • He likes cheese. All types. He’d buy those little snack trays with the summer sausage, crackers and cheese and honestly, he’d just eat the cheese.
  • He’ll feed the rest to Cody
  • Echo and Rex will often have caf in his office and gossip about the 501st. The two have also been known to sneak off to Coruscant to hop around on transportation lifts and such.
  • Echo likes seeing that open side of Rex, he’s laid back and childlike. Fives doesn’t believe him. Always saying Rex has a stick too far up his ass for that.
  • Cody and Rex definitely just lay in the barracks and talk about random stuff. Most times they aren’t actually talking, just laying in silence enjoying doing nothing.
  • This boy loves doing nothing. It’s his favorite thing to do. He’ll got lost in a daydream or just stare off.
  • He definitely likes to swim, a lot of clones get a fear of water when growing up on Kamino, but Rex loves how surreal it is. If they’re on a planet with a beach, he’ll go sit on the beach and take in the view.
  • He definitely doesn’t have a collection of ocean treasures
