May I ask of you have a favorite Studio Ghibli's film? :)
It’s between Spirited Away, Castle in the Sky, and Princess Mononoke.
Princess Mononoke has the conflict between the industrialization of society and the forest, and all the good it brings (medicine, housing, work, community, safety) and the bad it brings (war, cold unfeeling work regimen, the sacrifice of one for the good of many, cold calculating leaders who must keep their power) and refuses to make humanity the definite villain of the forest. Ashitaka’s quest for a cure to the plague of hatred is extremely noble and is something that we should all carry in our hearts.
Castle is The Sky is the epitome of all Studio Ghibli films. Flying machines, car chases, magical creatures, strange lands untouched by civilization, delicious looking food that makes you want to sit down and share a meal with the one you love, lovable goofy pirate characters, robots, FEELS! It’s everything Hayao is in love with in his work and it shows
Spirited Away is amazing for its main character, Chihiro, and her quiet yet amazing growth she goes through in the film. She’s as straight as an arrow when it comes to her goal: Save the people she loves any way possible and gtfo of Yubaba’s grasp. There’s no long monologues about how she’s scared for her parents life, no groaning and complaining about the work, nothing explains itself in this film, and I love it for that. The only moment where Chihiro goes into depth about how afraid she is, is when she’s sobbing while stuffing her face with rice balls given to her by a friend, which is painfully accurate.

Sokka and Zuko get SO much funnier when you remember this is both of their first times talking to another teenage boy in years. Sokka had all the other boys leave the tribe when he was little and Zuko just hasn’t talked to other teenage boys. They wanna be friends but have absolutely no clue how to talk to other teenagers. I love them so much.

Touchy subject
"The 501st was one of the best legions during the war. I've lost a lot of good men over the years - some of them would have given even you Mandos a run for your credits. And my general... My general was a good man too, but that's enough of that, I thought you were too old for bedtime stories by now."
Din just tried to figure out what the colour of the clones' armor paint meant, and why he's never heard Rex mention his CO during all the wartime stories and lectures; whereas he's already got to meet Wolffe and his general and even heard Cody mention his every once in a blue moon. (Special thanks to @witchydom for helping with the "dialogue" :3)
The rest of my Star Wars meets Hades AU project is here
I'll take a bit of your time to give a bit of an explanation why I decided to put Rex in Skelly's spot:
During a playthrough when I was looking for screenshots to use as backgrounds the first thing that greeted me was Zagreus calling Skelly "Captain" upon entering the armoury, or whatever that chamber is called. And that really decided it, let's be honest. Rex is Captain, and that is the Captain's spot. End of story.
Reading "still got it" by qigiined even before I got into watching TCW was such a personality defining experience (seriously, this fic lives forever rent free in my brain), that I really had no other option but to put the few clones that I'm willing to work into this AU somewhere around home base (the covert) - so you can guess where Cody and Wolffe are situated. Or will be, hopefully soon enough. Rex needs to be able to hang out with Cody, that's just how it is. (Rebels and TBB canon who?)
Rex deserves to teach some uppity Mando bounty hunters and other warriors who think too much of themselves a few lessons in humility and some crafty tricks. I think it would be very good for him.
As a throwaway note since we are already under the read more section, I've been thinking about sigils and keepsakes (trinkets) and cthonic companions (I know that over a year ago I inaccurately but very self indulgently designed one for Din, Boba and Cobb, that is not the point now) and while Cody can have one shaped like Boga, and Wolffe can obviously get a stuffed loth wolf (and Bo-Katan a very squishy owl)... I have no idea what shaped companion Rex could have. If anyone has any suggestions and would love to share it with me, I'd be very grateful!
