#dad!captain rex

[seriowan]

um, is there a dad!rex request in? because imagining that man as a loving father is something hot as fuuuu. I bet he hangs up all of the kids drawings on the fridge, indulges in their tea parties and plays dress up with them. he would just love so so much to see his own children grow up and never want to miss a single moment of their smiles.

FINALLY A DAD!REX REQUEST! I've been itching to write one for him since talking about dad!rex with @rexxdjarin and now that the opportunity is here i am SO EXCITED!!

more dad!clone fluff below the cut!

"-and then i kicked the ball really hard, daddy! i kicked it so hard and it got in the goal and my teacher was so excited!"

rex smiled as he listened to his adi'ka ramble, cheek in his palm with eyes full of adoration. his little one had just returned from school, full of stories and recollections of the day. he was caught in their adorable snare the moment they sat down at the dinner table together.

"uh-huh," he smiled, eyes crinkling with love. "and did your team win?"

they shrugged. "no, but that's okay because the game was fun! oh and look, i had arts and crafts today and i made this for you!"

they threw their tiny blue backpack atop the kitchen table and zipped it open in a rush, rummaging through the mess of papers and crayons before pulling out a little drawing covered in glue and sparkles. they ran up to rex's side as he turned, offering his knee for them to climb up into his lap.

hovering over his little adi'ka, rex couldn't help but laugh rich and deeply when he saw a crayon portrayal of him and his brothers.

fives had his typical tattoo but the '5' covered his entire forehead and there were stickers stuck everywhere along his armor. echo had not one, but two hands painted on his chest, covering his chest plate like a seashell bra. half of jesse's head was covered in grey - he guessed it was the republic cog but it looked more like a little smudge. dogma, hardcase, kix, and tup were there too, each of them sporting odd but close portrayals of their haircuts and tattoos. while he found it shocking that his little adi'ka could remember such details, he couldn't help but love their interpretation a little more.

"this is amazing, adi'ka," he praised, causing his little one to grin as hard as they could. "can i take a picture and send it to your uncles?"

they flushed, biting their lip in uncertainty. "uh, it's not very good, daddy."

rex gasped, splaying his hand across his chest as if utterly shocked. "are you kidding? this is the best thing i've ever gotten from you so far! you sure you don't want me to show your uncles?"

after a moment of contemplation, little adi'ka finally nodded with shy red cheeks. "okay. you can show them."

rex grinned. "good, 'cause i was going to anyway."

"daddy!"

he laughed, setting his adi'ka up on the edge of the table. he handed them the picture and said, "hold it up and smile, adi'ka."

they giddily obliged, cheesing as hard as they could while holding up their little artwork. rex snapped a picture, biting his lip to contain his cheeky grin while he sent it to the 501st group chat.

"nice job, bubs," he smirked, holding his hand out for his adi'ka to place the picture in his palm. with a turn, he faced the fridge and clipped it up with blue magnets, taking a step back to admire the collection of drawings and pictures that coated the fridge's entire surface. "i'm really liking this whole blue theme you have going on."

"duh, daddy. it's my favorite color."

rex hummed, smirking. "right, right." after an extended moment of appreciating his little one's artwork, rex turned with his hands on his hips, nudging his head towards the couch. "nap time? or tea time."

his little one gasped out, clapping their hands in excitement. "tea time first, nap time later!"

rex nodded, holding his hands out. his little one grasped them both, jumping down from the table with a happy cheer. they didn't let go of his fingers as they led him out of the kitchen and down the hall, guiding them toward their bedroom.

"can i wear the blue tutu today?" they asked with big eyes. "and you wear the pink one?"

rex didn't have a single bone in his body that could deny such a request, so he nodded. "sure, bubs."

as he settled down at his adi'ka's little tea table, watching them bring out the assortment of cups and plates, the comm in his pocket began to vibrate over and over and over again, humming and droning with replies from his brothers.

jesse: i want a framed copy to hang in my bunk. immediately.

echo: can i add the second handprint to my armor? i like adi'ka's version better.

fives: if anyone hears crying in the barracks, it's definitely not me.

A distraction you say? Well the only image currently in my head as I type this is Dad Rex. Specifically Dad Rex braiding his daughter's hair, he's learned how to be quite good at it, while she recounts some story about her day while he was away. Like how she stood up for her friends against some bullies or something and showed them whose boss, just like he taught her. 😉

Yessss omfg😩😩😩😩

And he can’t help but recall all the times he had to teach Ahsoka the very same lessons. Things he never even experienced himself.

His little girl is a lot like her in many ways. Or maybe it’s just that all the little fire in him that his daughter now shares is something Ahsoka learned from him. From all his brothers. And he realizes that all along he was playing protector. His entire life he was training in some part to prepare for who he is now.

A Parent with his hands full. With a tiny little spit fire who can more than handle whatever the universe throws at her. Best he can do is make sure she’s always put together, always acts and looks her best. Impresses with flying colors like her father before her and her auntie soka too.

So anakin teaches Cody how to carve wood and Cody makes the engagement ring lojack for obi wan, but he doesnt stop there.

He makes a bead earring for rex with a tiny piece of beskar in it and his little brother almost cries.

He makes viking bracelets for his batchmates and they all wear them proudly, even displaying them for pictures.

He makes a carved amulet for ashoka's headband with the togruta symbol for resilience. She wears it always.

He makes a pendant for anakin with twin suns in it and angel wings, and the kid hugs him for ten minutes.

Everyone is amazed and touched by these gifts. Cody feels proud of them

He puts trackers in every single one.

Wrecker: I had a dream that you were a bottle of mustard, and I was ketchup. Which is weird, cause normally you're mayonnaise in my dreams. Why do you suppose that is?

Rex, wondering what he was thinking taking a night watch shift with Wrecker: That's something you should ask Echo.

Okay what if Anakin decided to paint Ahsoka's markings onto the 501st armour right after she leaves the jedi order just to piss off the council and to publicly symbolize the fact that Ahsoka always will be with them and a part of them. The 501st were immediately on board and for Ahsoka to meet the 501st later with her markings on their helmets before the entire mandalore siege maybe on the holonet or accidentally seen it in person might've been really emotional for her.

Anakin yelling: YOU WILL ALWAYS HAVE A FAMILY HERE.

Like they always say Anakin has attachment issues that is true but he did let Ahsoka go to find her own path and place in the universe while also being there for her when she needed him...so..I love them your honor.

I just fucking love Anakin shoving one the council's biggest mistakes onto their faces over and over again everytime they call the 501st for aid, assistance and backup they will see Ahsoka's markings everywhere.

They gave him a child, took it away and that probably left him in shambles. I wish there were more episodes of Anakin grieving her loss or Obi-Wan feeling guilty yet again for not being able to stop it from happening or Rex and the 501st missing her dearly.

Edit: okay but Rex with his painted helmet on and Anakin gently caressing and tracing Ahsoka's markings will live inside my head rent free.

Anakin is afraid to lose Rex too and maybe this scene mentioned above happens before a mission and as he is tenderly touching his helmet he says "be safe out there"

I went into this on Twitter but I’m gonna go into again bc I don’t have a character limit over here 🧚

THE SYMBOLISM OF CROSSHAIR LOSING HIS HELMET.

he’s had this helmet since Aftermath. It was one of our first introductions to Imperial Crosshair and the things he was willing to do (and was at first forced to do) to get ahead and be seen as someone important to a higher cause. It represented his loyalty *screams* to the empire and the new goals he had that ended up separating him from the Batch in the s1 finale.

and WHEN HE LOSES IT??? practically every trace of imperial Crosshair is gone too. he doesn’t care if Mayday is dead weight or not, he’s going to get him back to base or die trying. he doesn’t care about what the empire wants anymore. he doesn’t care about being a good soldier. he doesn’t care about orders. he’s more himself than he has been since the chip activated god only knows how long ago. he’s throwing everything to the wind because he cares, because he doesn’t want to be alone again, because he sees too much of the people he cares about *COUGHS* HUNTER AND CODY *COUGHS* in his brother and he can’t stand to lose him too. and then he does anyway. and Crosshair is so done and so broken that he’s literally willing to probably be executed for treason just to avenge Mayday’s death. he was ready to die right there on that godforsaken outpost and he’s not a commander anymore he’s barely even a soldier anymore it’s just. Crosshair. all alone. all over again

#i can’t inhale properly anymore #I’ve loved him for years and it somehow just keeps getting stronger #you don’t understand what he means to me look at this feral cat of a clone and tell me how I’m not supposed to love him with my whole heart #star wars #the clone wars #animated star wars #clone troopers #the bad batch #captain rex #the dad batch #tbb echo #tbb crosshair #tbb hunter #tbb tech #tbb wrecker #tbb omega #commander cody #tbb mayday #bad batch spoilers #the bad batch season 2 #bad batch season 2 spoilers

[ineffablejaymee]

its very important to me for anakin to be craving cody's approval, and cody acting like he doesn't have any sympathy for anakin

and its even more important for anakin to see cody as a father figure/role model

and its the most important for cody to matter-of-factly mention to anakin that he is proud of him

#if anakin cant have theraoy at least give him dads #he deserves to cry his eyes out while he hugs cody for 10 minutes #and cody cares abt anakin #hes just grumpy and kinda stressed out with the #war #ya know #but anakin has never met a healthy emotion in his life #much like obiwan #the disaster lineage #star wars #clone wars #obiwan kenobi #star wars clone wars #commander cody #ahsoka tano #anakin skywalker #captain rex #codywan

More Shenanigans but they invited Wolffe

*Fives and Echo are fighting* Rex, taking aspirin: I have a headache! Can you guys just be cool?! *Fives and Echo start fighting while wearing sunglasses and riding skateboards*

Fives, T-posing in the doorway: Greetings, Rex. Rex, not looking up from his coffee: Good morning, problem child.

Obi-Wan: I’ve invited you here because I crave the deadliest game... Anakin, nodding: Knife Monopoly. Obi-Wan: I was actually going to play Russian roulette, but now I'm really interested in whatever knife Monopoly is.

Rex: Apologize to Cody! Wolffe: Fine! Wolffe: Unfuck you, or whatever!

Rex: *trying to get five seconds of sleep* Ahsoka, poking Rex’s arm: Rex. Rex. Rex. Rex! Rex: WHAT? Ahsoka: …We’re out of Capri Suns—

Rex: What happened?! Ahsoka: Do you want the long version or the short version? Rex: Sh-short?? Ahsoka: Shit's fucked. Rex: Okay, long. Ahsoka: Shit's very fucked.

Obi-Wan, to Cody: You wanna fight? All right, let’s take this outside. The stars are so bright tonight and the moon looks so nice. Here, hold my hand—

Obi-Wan: How many children do you have? Rex: Biologically, legally, or emotionally? Because there is a difference.

Wolffe: I learned a valuable lesson from this. Rex: I’m guessing they are all horrible distortions on the lesson you actually should’ve taken away… Wolffe: DEATH ISN’T REAL AND I AM BASICALLY GOD!

Cody: Hey, Rex! Did you know you're my BFFLWYLION? Rex: What the hell is that supposed to mean? Cody: Best Friend For Life Whether You Like It Or Not. Rex: Rex: That’s one way to say it, I guess…

Anakin is sulking after a mission gone wrong. Obi wan is fretting because his apprentice sulking is such a turmoil in the force that Yoda is getting headaches.

Anakin, close to snapping: i feel like i can't do anything right

Cody *soulful eyes*

Cody: don't ever think You can't do something You can't to do.

Cody: it's thrash can, not trash cannot.

Anakin: *snaps out of his Funk so hard the dark side screeches and goes hide behind palps*

Obi-Wan: *helping plan Anakin and Padme’s anniversary vacation they’re all going on* Don’t worry, I got the brunch menus taken care of. I found five different types of sangria that I wanna try this weekend so I’m getting a fuckton of fruit and vodka. I don’t even think Fives will have any allergic reactions to any of these. Not like that time with the orange blossom honey that was apparently pollinated by an avocado tree.

Cody: I mean. I guess sangria doesn’t have as much alcohol as most, but considering it’s gonna be like nine in the morning, Imma tell you right now, whatever amount of vodka the recipe asks for, halve it.

Obi-Wan: It’s a sacrifice I’m willing to make but I will also be bringing twice as much wine to make up for it.

Cody: Lovely. And the food menu?

Obi-Wan: …I knew I was forgetting something there…

Rex: *patting Cody on the shoulder* He’s a keeper.

Cody: Yeah, I keep him indoors for everyone’s safety. Mostly alcohol poisoning.

Rex: Solid plan.

Anakin on a hologram meeting with the Jedi council while on route to Coruscant after a long campaign:

Anakin clearly exhausted but sitting through the meeting: Yes Masters.

Mace: Skywalker, where is your padawan? She needs to give her report.

Anakin: She’s currently at the medbay, she was injur-

Echo bursting into the room: General! The Commander! She-

Anakin: [Let’s out the most exhausted sigh he’s let out on this whole meeting] She escaped the Medbay?

Echo: Yes general. Kix is leading the torrent to catch her. We could really use your help.

Obi-Wan: Seriously Anakin-

Rex: With all due respect General, Commander Cody himself tells me that you are worse.

Council: . . .

[Loud fighting noises are heard from outside, the sound of things falling over and stun bolt shots and lightsabers are heard]

Ahsoka clearly drugged yelling so loudly they hear it in the hologram room: KIX HAS MORE IMPORTANT PATIENTS! ITS JUST A FEW BLASTER BOLT WOUNDS! YOU’RE NOT TAKING ME ALIVE!!!!

Echo: That’s my cue to go leave. [Runs out of the room setting his gun to stun]

Anakin and Rex: We’re coming with you. [Follows Echo]

Council: [Concerned glances to one other]

Rex who just got off an important call to see Fives, Echo, and Jesse in hysterics: Can someone please explain to me why Dogma is in the fetal position and Hardcase is unconscious?

Jesse, who's always in the wrong place at the wrong time: See, what happened, was Denal let it slip in sabaac that Dogma is afraid of ghosts, so Fives, Echo, and Hardcase thought it would be funny to dress up like a ghost and scare him.

Rex, a very tired dad: I'm going to assume it worked.

Echo, the favorite: Oh, it did. I've never seen a full-grown adult man scream that high before. But we've also learned that when Dogma doesn't have a weapon in his hands, his first instinct when scared is to throat-chop people. I think Kix is resetting his larynx as we speak.

Rex: I'm too old for this shit
