Manifesting The Bad Batch Season 3 Trailer With This Redraw Of Crosshair And Omega

trying to mentally prepare for season 3…

let’s imagine his hair grew back blonde so he can twin with Rex ok?

You chose the wrong side

May it begin

in honor of the trailer release, here's the comm with Hunter and Crosshair for s0ftbatch on twitter

Bad Batch modern AU about a girl and her five cool dads

I’m cosplaying her next 🫡

Even she thinks that's unoriginal.

Omega trying to convince Tech it's time for an unscheduled study break with snacks.

Slight updates to my fan art from last year when I was making up / drawing happy scenes to deal with the S2 finale!  💔😭

Okay I changed my mind:

So Ventress and Crosshair are seriously my two favorite Star Wars characters so seeing them interact at all had me freaking out screaming

There was definitely some specific attention on them but I think it was just the writers acknowledging that they’re really similar characters. Especially with what Omega said to Crosshair, that people can change. Both Cross and Ventress have pasts they’re not proud of, but they’ve grown a lot as characters. Crosshair saw Tech’s files, he knows the things she’s done, yet he still offers her a hand. So I see it as a moment of solidarity between them. And I think that was really cool to include.

But romantically? First of all, she did not care about any of them (except maybe omega a tiny bit) and I doubt we’ll see her again this season. It was very entertaining to see her beat Crosshair’s ass and I did squeal when she had him pinned to the ground but like it was a fight. Could he have had a tiny crush on her? Maybe, cause yknow, Ventress is hot, but honestly I’m really starting to see the vision with queer coded Crosshair. Either way, I don’t think Crosshair is her type, I think she likes em a bit more rugged. Like have you seen Quinlan Vos? He was also a total golden retriever bf which is the opposite of Crosshair. Him and Ventress are just too similar- they’d kill each other trying to one up the other in attitude.

In conclusion, I love them, but I personally don’t see them being romantical and thanks for reading my rambles :)

BAD BATCH THE HARBINGER SPOILERS ‼️

MOTHER AND FATHER ARE HOLDING HANDS

HE WANTS HER SO BAD (im delusional)

ok so now who’s gonna draw crosshair x ventress ship art?

…I am

I love the colors :)

Day 03 of INKtober is BONES 🦴

First, I am so glad I’m not alone in this. I cannot view CX-2 without the subtext that he is Tech’s body. Part of me wants to hope that maybe in a tales of the clones we’ll get some more CX-2 but I really don’t know.

I think the way he was killed was the show telling us that there was none of the old Tech left in him, his body was simply reanimated and Hunter killing him was symbolically putting an end to the horrible tool Hemlock had turned him into. (I also think Crosshair knew he was Tech, he kept glancing back at him after he died)

But there could have been a fragment of Tech still in there, and we’ll never know. And that’s what i think was lost in a reveal. They left us with the haunting idea that he could have been Tech, and that was it.

That being said, I got to meet Dee Bradley Baker at a con recently, and guys I wanted answers. I told him I really thought CX-2 was Tech (meant to say I really think he was Tech), and he immediately said “Oh, a lot of people did. But I’m glad he wasn’t.” OH OUCH that instantly crushed me! He proceeded to talk about how he wanted Tech to have his heroic moment, and that he believed his sacrifice was good.

And how do you respond to that 😭

I’m glad he was satisfied with the ending of his character, but to me that doesn’t mean CX-2 wasn’t supposed to be him at one point, and he’s glad they didn’t go that direction. Heck, let’s take a leap here and say maybe he recorded voice lines for a reveal that was scrapped and he’s glad it didn’t happen that way. Cause let’s be real, Tech being CX-2 it is a horribly sad thing, and a heroic sacrifice is a much better ending for the character than mind controlled imperial soldier, so I don’t blame Dee for not wanting that.

In conclusion, no one will ever be able to convince me CX-2 wasn’t Tech, even Dee Bradley Baker

(I do need to say he was a very lovely man and we talked about other characters too)

So. I’m. Haunted by the lighting and posing on the CX-2 poster, haunted by the fact that no one will straight up say that Tech is dead or that he wasn’t CX-2, wondering if the CX-Tech plot wasn’t dropped after all, and hoping against hope that they’re putting this man through the wringer so they can pull him out and give him the happiest possible ending. CX-2 had BETTER be in the next series and he had better be Tech, because I need this to make sense. I mean, I’ll buy that the spear symbolically killed the CX-2 persona. I’ll buy, “Oh, he had to be Crosshair’s shadow in the last third of this series but we had to foreshadow him being Tech in the next one.” “The damage you sustained on Skako Minor all of your behavioral modifications,” coming back around. I’ll buy someone surviving that in the GFFA because they can in the real world (warning for a picture of a real life injury in the link). I’ll even buy that the electricity didn’t kill him because the boulders and the waterfall definitely should have (and it’s Star Wars). I really do not care about plausible survivability. I just want the story to make sense and for Tech to get back to his family.

Anyway all I’m saying is why release a poster that’s going to fuel speculation about a guy whose face we never see after the series is done and out? If you actually dropped that plot, why not change the poster? Or just not release it? Why do this? What is the purpose of this?? Because if the purpose was to drive me, specifically, insane, then congratulations, Lucasfilm! Mission accomplished.
