Those are all fantastic points that I can’t believe I forgot, in my haste to lament and rage against the flanderization and jedigeneralification of Rex, I flanderized and jedigeneralized Cody in the process.

Cody is the absolutely unhinged madman who needs Obiwan to keep him on a leash.

Anakin is the absolutely unhinged madman who needs Rex to keep him on a leash.

Where tf did people get the idea Rex is some mini-anakin and some insane hyperactive madman compared to the rest of the clones.

The man is almost the walking talking definition of the phrase “by the books”, he’s as professional as they come, he’s SO god damn professional and proper, that merely calling Anakin by his first name was enough to let Anakin know something was off cause he knew Rex ONLY ever calls him General Skywalker unless shit has officially Hit The Fan™

Yeah sure, he’s a creative and aggressive tactician and more than willing to use unconventional strategies to secure victory, but he only does that cause he’s so by the books he has the whole god damn book memorized and knows how to properly be creative with it.

And no, just cause he’s more wild than Cody is not justification, Cody is the kind of guy to consider doing a mountain of paperwork to be an exciting activity.

Yeah, absolutely, just spitballing ideas

Surgamy comic idea

First few panels is Surge talking to Kit, explaining her newest plan to fuck with Sonic, hooking up with Amy and turning her against Sonic.

Then the next panel is a close up on her head with her saying how it’s perfect and it’ll ruin Sonic

There’s an undetermined time jump with Surge in the exact same position, but this time with her hair groomed back and in a tux at her and Amy’s wedding.

They kiss, everyone celebrates, and a few of the heroes walk up to Surge and Amy and begin congratulating about their wedding and Sonic giving her a handshake and a pat on the back.

It’s then that Surge has a sudden face of realization, the realization that instead of her ruining Amy, Amy fixed her and she didn’t even realize it.

Bit of a headcanon of mines, but Rex is indisputably the disciplinarian of the 501st and is generally the last person you want to be pulled into a disciplinarian meeting with.

Anakin can’t bring himself to care about military discipline or maintaining it very much, he’ll dole it out when need be and will give his two cents if he’s asked about it. But generally he turns a blind eye to all but the most serious of infractions and even then he just sics Rex in ‘em. And Ahsoka just doesn’t have a mean bone in her body towards the clones and tries to avoid disciplining anyone whenever she can.

But Rex? He will make your cry with words alone, he needs a bag of cough drops from how sour he’ll shout his voice out, you will be pulling an ARC-170 across the hanger until they reach their destination. He lets nothing slide, shows no mercy, and will push you right up until your bones are about to break. The first time Ahsoka witnessed Rex disciplining some troopers, she left almost traumatized cause of how much meaner he could be than she thought.

In contrast, while Cody is as much of a rules stickler as Rex is, he’s significantly more calm. He’s generally lighter with his punishments if he believes the point can be made quickly. Obiwan doesn’t really do traditional discipline but instead prefers one on one talks which are like having a conversation with a disappointed father you look up to and is way more effective at keeping order than Cody’s method.

One time, very early in the war, Anakin had the misfortune of doing something so incredibly stupid Rex entirely ignored rank and convention and told him off like he would any other Trooper.

Anakin behaved significantly better after that.

Surge having a relapse and deciding to fight Sonic after spending a lot of time with the team.

Sonic: Surge, I don't understand. I thought joining us was helping you. Why are you doing this?

Surge: You don't get it. How could you? You who never once questioned why he fights. You always lived for yourself. Ran for yourself.

Surge: Once I joined you I lost what drove me to be the best. I lost my edge and now... I'm going to... Amy's brunches and Tails' movie nights! LISTEN TO ME, SONIC! I'M USING THEY'RE FUCKING NAMES!

Surge: But now I have a chance. A chance to finally fight you one on one. No outsiders. No interference. Just you, me and my victory.
