When Watching A Bad Game, I Caught Flashbacks From The Ninja Turtles. Of Course, This Is Still The Same

I like the evolution of their relationship. In the beginning, Crosshair somehow didn't give a damn about this hound. In the fourth episode, little has changed. It even seemed to me that he tolerated her for Omega's sake, and in the end planned to leave her (but then again, Omega knows how to convince). And now he treats her pretty well. He strokes her, scratches her, does not chase her away or drive her away from himself. I suspect he was in favor of leaving Batcher. I think they will be a good team by the final. A killer duo, considering it's supposed to be Omega's pet.

Tay: Please tell me that it was you who brought her home and insisted that it was time for us to become parents.

Cross: Please tell me that you decided it was a good idea to give her a harpoon.

Crosshair left them alone for five minutes.

But that's what happens when you give Akona a harpoon.

Ramblings + Reference under the cut:

Was feeling a bit down but then this image came to me and I felt a little better so I had to draw it. I just love these guys :(

Was also thinking about Akona because I love her so much (partly because she's inspired by my mom's cat - aka my kid-sister/godchild whom I adore despite how big of a menace she is) and how she's picked up little bits and pieces from both Crosshair and Tay over the years.

In terms of personality, I see her being a lot like how I would image Crosshair was as a kid–stubborn, bratty, curious, a little menace who is used to getting his way and is a tad bit emotional. Or like,, y'know –the kid who eats glue in the back of the classroom and also bites the other kids? Yeah that was cadet Crosshair and that's how Akona is too. But she's got a heart of gold and loyalty literally means everything to her. Plus, since she's an only child she's spoiled very much like how Crosshair was since he was the baby of the Batch.

But then in terms of mannerisms and style, she takes after Tay. Like even if occasionally, Crosshair takes her out to a shooting range to practice her sharpshooting skills (and she's pretty good at it too), when it comes down to it, she prefers hand-to-hand combat like Tay and enjoys things like wrestling more than anything. She also like wearing sleeveless shirts like Tay and wears clasps on her tendrils that are similar to the ones Tay has on his lethorns. Then there's also the fact that she wears a gauntlet similar to Crosshair's old one because Tay still wears his old gauntlets that he painted like Crosshair's when they were together. That and the little blue cloth she wears as a belt was actually Tay's before he passed it down to her.

Either way she's a delightful handful. Her personality makes it hard for Tay and her Uncles to say no to her since she's so similar to Crosshair but then her tendencies to be inspired by Tay get her (and also Tay) into trouble every now and then.

Also, her name worked out perfectly. Initially, I picked it out because it meant "to enthuse" in Maori and then later I added on the 'Mae' part in honor of Commander 'May'day (because I could see Crosshair honoring him like that) and THEN it also worked out to honor Tay's mentor/mom, Ko, because 'ko' is in the name 'Akona' and would be something Tay calls her.

Idk, I just love them.

Also don't worry, Tay's fine. He's suffered worse, lmao. That's what he gets for letting Akona have a harpoon.

I didn't have time to really eat the Brown Eyes pie, as I wanted buns with raisins and peanuts. The recipe for the dough is the same as in the case of the pie, with the only difference that I added my favorite dried fruits and representatives of the legume family to it.

Do you think they should be named after someone from Squad 99? If so, who exactly?

It seems to me that Wrecker and 99 are ideal candidates.

Just look at those hips. There aren't many of them, but God, I just want to touch those knuckles of his. I have them too, it's true that I have fat there, not muscles, but damn, the desire to touch these pieces of delicious meat does not negate this.

Fish fear him, women (and men) want him

Also shamelessly letting you know my commissions are open ^^

I'm inclined to think that he didn't have a very pleasant experience interacting with girls. Maybe they weren't interested in him or something. Having no other outcome of trying to start a conversation with the opposite sex, Tech just stopped trying to do something about it and resigned himself. Moreover, our bun has a lack of experience interacting with them and he simply did not know how to react to flirting from Phee because she is the first girl who was not just interesting to him, but who showed the same interest in him. It is possible that after the girl's first attempts to flirt with him, Tech began to look for information on interacting with girls and so on.

I find this scene interesting in that, even though Tech reacted very awkwardly when Phee approached to say goodbye, the fact that he was standing outside the ship all alone with his datapad (for no logical reason whatsoever) makes me think that he hoped she would come to say goodbye. And that when she actually did, he froze up.

Now he is a tsundere with glasses

A strange theory that takes place.

What if the mysterious dark figure is not Tech, but Cody? We haven't heard from him since the second season, we don't know what's wrong with him. Hamlock mentioned the process of reeducation and that Cross was not amenable to it.

What if Cody tried to defect, but was caught and sent to "re-education"? It is quite possible that at some point he broke down and succumbed to them.

Do not forget about the leg of that figure from episode 3. What if Commander 212 tried to escape and the missing leg is a consequence of this attempt?

If that's the case, then Hamlock really has a chance to become a sadistic scientist who enjoys the suffering of his subjects.

I can imagine the reaction of Rex and the defective to the canonization of this theory. Especially if, after re-education, the clones feel the same as in the case of chips, only stronger. They are aware of everything that is happening, but they cannot even begin to resist. If it was possible with chips, as in the case of Rex, then with this one it is no longer there.

... Damn it. I want to draw a Crosshair curled up in a ball, being stroked and purring (or making similar sounds)
