It was always a race to see who could undress the fastest when they both got home for the night. captain rex ahsoka tano star wars the clone wars six broadway spotify wrapped rexsoka platonic tho hawkвЂ™s 100 swtcw 501st battalion fanfiction request But definitely with blue skies above his head. In reality, Rex knows where heвЂ™d rather be in an idyllic future. вЂњYou have to admit,вЂќ he nudges her gently, вЂњit does have a ring to it.вЂќ вЂњYouвЂ™re right,вЂќ she concedes, and they begin to continue back down the hall. вЂњGold is for Cody and the 212th,вЂќ he grumbles. ItвЂ™s a reminder that he desperately needs a haircut after several weeks without one. OrвЂ¦ maybe gold, to match your hair.вЂќ Rex pretends to be offended as she reaches up to ruffle her fingers through his hair. She breaks out in giggles at his blatantly exaggerated fantasy. What color do you think my throne should be?вЂќ Figured I find a planet of my own, make myself king. He grants her a teasing smirk, wanting to keep the conversation light and cheerful because he knows sheвЂ™s more than stressed after their last mission. SheвЂ™s lost her childhoodвЂ“ at least Rex had always been made for this life. вЂњYou have!вЂќ Her eyes gleam with mischief that only barely hides a bitter longing for normalcy and peace. He knows he doesnвЂ™t sound convincing in the slightest, and just as expected, Ahsoka pounces on his hesitation. вЂњNot particularly,вЂќ Rex replies after clearing his throat. ItвЂ™s only thanks to his ARC training that Rex doesnвЂ™t trip on his own feet at the question. This way, theyвЂ™ll be available to the men in case anyone is struggling in the aftermath. ItвЂ™s become a routine of theirs after each return from a mission. вЂњHave you ever thought about what youвЂ™re going to do after the war?вЂќ Ahsoka asks him one night as they wander through the halls of the Resolute. star wars the clone wars tup ct-5385 swtcw teardrop tattoo clone trooper Please be respectful and aware of the symbolizm and history before going any further with it. What is important, however, is to acknowledge the damage that can be done with headcanons that attempt to explain the meaning behind his tattoo by romanticizing the real world implications of it. I have no issue with his character at all, and whatвЂ™s done is done.

IвЂ™m not saying this all to make anyone not like Tup or to not draw him with his tattoo. This is not a fictional symbol, itвЂ™s a real life prison tattoo. For the design team to include this on a character and ignore the severity of the connotations behind it is both worrying and inappropriate, especially for something so easily searchable.

ItвЂ™s not something to take lightly or romanticize, and it has a history stretching back decades at this point. Frankly, IвЂ™m disconcerted that such a tattoo was used on a character in a childrenвЂ™s show because it has real and serious meaning behind it. Despite this, it is important to realize the original background of the mark and its meaning because a rebranding by a select few does not change its connotations in the real world.ДЄnd thatвЂ™s where we come to the Clone Wars. I am aware that several rappers and athletes have pushed the teardrop tattoo into more popular culture, usually saying it represents someone they have lost. The tattoo can later be filled in if revenge or vengeance is served against the killer. In addition, an outline of a teardrop can be used to signify the loss of someone, usually due to street violence. It can also be used by (typically) women whose partners are incarcirated. It can be used as a mark of humiliation on victims of prison r*pe. It can be used to signify lengthy prison time. The meaning behind the teardrop tattoo can change depending on the region. As a kid, I always knew to be wary of it, just as I was with SS, Iron Cross or sw*tztika tattooes. It originiated as a symbol to mark having committed a murder, and in many areas of the West Coast and other large cities like Chicago, that is what this still represents. Now, I say вЂњinfamousвЂќ because the teardrop tattoo is one of the most recognizable prison tattoos (in the US, I canвЂ™t speak for other countries). TupвЂ™s unique identifier is the infamous teardrop tattoo. Trigger warning for mention of prison, gangs, and assault. I was uncomfortable the first time I saw this design, and I think itвЂ™s important to acknowledge the issue behind it. As is the case with many of the clone troopers, Tup of the 501st is recognizable by his facial tattoo.
