THIS. This is my Roman Empire.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
Rex breaking up in front of Ahsoka.
A person that he hasn't seen in months.
His commander. The only person he fully trusts at the moment. He shows his transparent self for the first time.
Not only to her, but to us, the people watching the show.
Clones are bred with a sole purpose, told they are expendable, and if they die fighting, most wouldn't care.
They are human, but they aren't treated as such.
Hidden beneath their masks there's people. That's what we see when she removes his helmet. She's telling him its okay to feel how he is doing at the moment.
And this is the breaking point for many. Rex is hurting, he's mourning, His brothers, the other soldiers, even himself have been used for all this time. Manipulated into fighting a war that was lost from the start.
All the deaths, all the used soldiers, brainwashed... It hurts him as it hurts everyone else. Even more as they are his family.
He was saved, but his brothers can't be.

Paris Fire Brigade — The fire department of the city of Paris
The Paris Fire Brigade was created by Napoleon on 18 September 1811 after a devastating fire in Paris in 1810. The brigade remains the same firefighting service of Paris to this day.

Illustrations created by Aaron Martinet between 1807 and 1814. Top: Imperial Guard, Engineer Sapper. Bottom: Imperial Guard, Officer of Engineer Sappers. These were the military positions which were transitioned into the fire department.
The deadly fire at the Austrian embassy ball in July 1810, during the festivities for his marriage to Marie Louise, reminded the Emperor of the importance of a well-functioning fire service in the capital.
Despite the courage and dedication of the gardes pompes [firefighters of the old organization], who are sometimes falsely accused of numerous shortcomings, the firefighting service revealed its weaknesses: delays, insufficient and unreliable equipment, poorly trained personnel and incompetent managers. The staff present at the embassy on the day of the tragedy were cleared of all suspicion by an investigation led by the Count of Montalivet. On the other hand, the leaders of the old organization were dismissed, and the corps des gardes pompes was abolished.
After this catastrophe, the Emperor reorganized this public service by creating the first military corps of firefighters, made up of the engineers from the Imperial Guard who were dedicated to defending the imperial chateaux against fire.
At the behest of Emperor Napoleon I, the creation of the Paris fire department [bataillon de sapeurs pompiers de Paris] by imperial decree on 18 September 1811 was an original and innovative step, marking the transition from a civil and municipal organization to a military body. The choice of such an atypical status for a public service echoes the creation, eleven years earlier, of the Paris Police Prefecture, an equally singular legal administrative body.
From its creation, this military corps was placed under the authority of the Paris Police Prefecture, who was responsible for the security of the capital. After a long process, this military status and subordination to a prefect became the logical consequence of the spirit of the decree of 12 messidor year 8.
When the battalion was formed in 1811, the Paris fire department took on a new mission: fighting fires, the importance and development of which they were still unaware of.
Four companies were then created to respond to fires. Relying on a typically military functional triptych (extensive training of men, systematic technological research and implementation of efficient operational procedures), the battalion quickly made its new environment its own, and by the end of the second half of the 19th century, had become a model for the organization of public fire-fighting services and a national, even international reference.
Several fire chiefs succeeded one another until 1814. At that date, command was entrusted to battalion commander Plazanet. He provided the battalion with an instruction manual, made it compulsory for sappers to be stationed in barracks, and introduced gymnastics to train efficient and daring rescuers.

So Ka obviously pre-date the millennium items, right. They're an inherent magical thing that anyone can learn to summon for themselves. The power-up the millennium items added is the ability to remove other people's Ka and save them for your own use later, which they've only been able to do for less than 16 years.
This means it was under Atem's dad's rule that they:
Figured out how to rip people's Ka out
Began to do so systematically as a criminal punishment
Decided to use said criminal soul-theft as a domestic and military weapon
Did this often enough to fill that giant temple with them wall to wall and floor to ceiling
anyway I think Aknamkanon did some things wrong actually even if finding out about Kul Elna made him really sad

Shin bonding with the Loth wolves of Lothal
She just meets a few of them one day and they immediatly adopt her
(Either it`s her talent in both the light and darkside or her feral energy)
Either way whenever Shin walks around Lothal one or too wolves will watch her from afar
Sometimes theyll dissapear when she looks at them
Sometimes theyll invite her to their pack
She will hunt with them, wrestle with them, and almost feel like a wolf herself
One day Ezra helps her communicate with them through the force
It takes a while but eventually she can have full conversations with them
About the force, about her life, about her mandalorian girlfriend
Not long after that an older wolf, a giant silver one offers to be her ride
Shin calls him Skoll
Sabine isn`t sure what to make of their new Pet
But Skoll is gentle, and when Shin invites her for a romantic night ride, Sabine starts to grow fond of him
It`s their enemies who need to worry
Enemies who come to Lothal dissruptiing Shin and Sabines peace
Shin greets them on sitting high on Skoll, lightsaber ignited, a grinn on her face
„ Are you sure you wanna fight me?“
