Bad Batch/His Dark Materials AU!
Here’s The Batch with their daemons! Be warned I have so many thoughts behind this AU. So leave now if you don’t want to read my absolute essay of a lore dump.
My idea for this AU is that all the clones tend to have dogs daemons, both in line with the whole ‘clones are the same’ idea and ‘dogs who follow orders’ stereotype, but also this idea in this universe that the ‘Vode’ are a “pack” of sorts. Generally the clones’ daemons are dog breeds with pointy ears. And battalions usually get made up of clones with same dog breeds as daemons (the 501st has mostly huskies/malamutes and the 212th has mostly German Shepards/Belgian Malanois for example). All of this to say, Clone Force 99 stands out even more in this AU because of their daemons. “Regs” who have daemons that deviate from the ‘normal’ type of daemon clones’ have, get terminated. Though for clones to have daemons that settle into something ‘abnormal’ is rare to begin with. So The Bad Batch having not-dog daemons AND being allowed to live is kinda the main reason of tension between The Batch and the ‘Regs’.
Some more details about TBB in this AU:
Because Ghost is albino, she has sensitive eyes and bad vision in general. Which is an interesting duality to Crosshair’s exceptional eyesight.
All through out s1-3 of TBB I imagine Omega’s daemon (Delta) hasn’t settled, and she shifts between a bird of prey and different dogs breeds. And Delta often will shift into the same animal as the other Batchers’ daemons when interacting with them. It’s not until Omega escapes Tantis with Crosshair that Delta settles into a Timber Wolf.
Echo’s daemon (Mimic) was originally a grey husky, but after being captured by techno Union she starts to shift into different dog breeds. This is very unparalleled, it’s very rare for daemons to shift again after they originally settle. And it’s NEVER happened to a clone before. Its not until Echo joins The Bad Batch that Mimic settles again as an Australian Cattle Dog. Though it takes even longer than that for Echo and Mimic to become comfortable with each other again.
I have to draw about the trauma cuz MK and Wukong keep tip toeing around it like little bitches
I’m also writing a fic that takes place in between season 2 finale and season 3 ep 1 😼 stay tuned
Here it is 🙈

OUT OF CONTEXT BBY MONKEY KING DOODLES
More tech sketches, i miss him so much
Cowbot
Just realized while writing my fanfic that if Spicynoodles were to become canon, Pigsy would absolutely scrutinize Red Son and try to keep MK from dating him. It's literally the equivalent of a disapproving father keeping his innocent daughter away from some bad boy biker, made all the more comparable since Red Son is literally a villain who drives a bike
I've just been imagining Red Son just fucking pulling up with his badass bike wearing a red leather jacket and sunglasses and MK strolls out of Pigsy's with his best Monkey King merch and sketchbook while Tang is trying to stop Pigsy from having a stress induced heart attack-
______________________________________________
Pigsy: Kid! What's with all the burn marks!?
MK, completely dazed and rubbing one of his marks: My boyfriend's the best...
Pigsy: BOYFRIEND!?
______________________________________________
MK: But Dadsy, I love him!
Pigsy: No employee of mine is going to be running around with some demon! And didn't he burn you anyways!?
MK: I mean...I kinda asked him to 👉👈
Pigsy: WHAT-
Red Son, pulling up in his bike outside Pigsy's: C'MON NOODLE BOY WE'RE GONNA ON THE MOST EVIL DATE YOUR MORTAL BRAIN CAN IMAGINE!
MK: WellitwasnicetalkingtoyouDadsyiloveyoubye-
Pigsy: KID WHAT THE FU-
Mei: Sooo... they're dating now?
Tang: Yup, and you owe me 50 dollars
Mei, passing Tang $50: Ughhh...
Pigsy: YOU TWO WERE PLACING BETS!?!?
Wukong, walking into Pigsy's and seeing Pigsy incoherently screaming: Soo...What happened here...?
Mei: Well...
Tang: MK and Red Son went out on a date
Pigsy: MONKEY KING! YOU'RE THE KID'S MENTOR! TELL HIM TO STOP DATING THAT DEMON!
Wukong: ...
Wukong: PFFTTHAHAHAHAHAHAHAICANTBREATH-
Pigsy: MONKEY KING!!!
Wukong: DUDE I NEED TO TELL BULL KING ABOUT THIS HE'LL FREAK-
Pigsy: YOU'RE NOT TELLING ANYONE ABOUT THIS! I DON'T NEED ANYONE ELSE KNOWING THAT MY EMPLOYEE IS WALTZING AROUND WITH SOME SMUG ASS DEMON PUNK-
Sandy, walking into the room: Uhhh...is this a bad time?
Pigsy: GAAAAAAAAAAA-
And even after they all agree to keep Red Son and MK's relationship a secret until Red is ready to tell his parents, Pigsy would still fucking hate him-
______________________________________________
Pigsy: Listen here, punk. If I didn't promise MK to give you a chance, I'd personally ban you from ever entering this building again. But I'm going to give you one chance to prove that you're good enough for the kid.
Red: Hmph, alright "Pigsy", what are your demands?
Pigsy: Don't commit crimes with my kid, don't flirt with my kid in front of me, don't do anything beyond kissing my kid, and if you break the kid's heart, I will break your legs. Understand?
Red: Hmm...fair enough. Though for the record, between the two of us, MK is much more dirty minded, so you needn't worry about my "advances"
Pigsy: ...
Pigsy: Inhales
(Yeah Red Son is actually asexual, although he's happy to do more physical stuff like making out since it makes MK happy. But yes, MK is a bit more dirty minded than Red Son, he's just too shy to actually act on it most of the time.)
y'all don't know her or her kids, but here are their redesigns (I was to lazy to do a proper ref sheet for the kids-)
°
Here's Siren with her children ✨
That's a gray shirt it's not sheer fabric despite how it looks-
Oki so first up the adoptive mother Siren!
Siren a immortal with dwarfism, she's mentally and physically in her 30's. She used to run her poison shop in the countryside before settling in Megalopolis upon its foundation days. Her shop continued being for poison and it also a semi baking shop in the modern times. She has a snake attached to the back of her head who she calls Helen. She loves her kids deeply. She's has a hypnotic singing voice. Is unpredictable when drunk. She loves adding poison to her meals for "flavor". She also loves carrot cake, so she does bake a lot. (Doesn't add poison to her baking unless her sons asked her to) Her height is 4'3
Up next the oldest kid Heng!
Heng, a monkey demon that's somewhere in his 2,000s but is mentally and physically 20. He's been around with his ma since he was a little baby. He's the more serious one out his siblings, but doesn't mind helping with whatever silly things they're up to. He's honestly more of country monkey than city, but he doesn't mind it. He is not one to give up so easy, he's immune to most poisons, quite clear with his emotions, isn't one to just stand there to let others come at him with their negative emotions, often standing his ground. He likes playing the wooden flute and performs tricks with light, forming them into sparkles. An inch shorter than his sister. He's 5'5.
Next is Jun!
Jun, a human 25 years old, got adopted when he was 7, works at his ma poison shop. He has a good immune system against poison, adding poison to his meals sometimes. (Despite being told to stop by his sister, of course he doesn't listen) He always has antidotes on hand in case he needs it, or if someone else ate his food. Wearing that strange blindfold(?) is a fashion choice. He's the tallest out of the family, being 6'0. He likes races, but his favorite being chicken racing. Has a liking for cheese tea and often is out late just chatting with anyone who doesn't mind talking with him. He's protective of his family. He's also a bit of a drama queen.
The last and youngest, Viviana!
Viviana, 18 years old. Adopted when she was 10. Also works at her ma's poison shop/semi bakery, cause well- fascination with poison seems to run in the family. She doesn't do poison in her meals like her brothers do, cause one why do that. And 2, she likes having her meal the way it is. She realizes she was in the wrong body when she was 15 and started her transition after telling her ma and brothers, which they happyily helped with. She likes how pretty the poisons can look in their containers. She has a sketchbook just filled with paint splatters cause she likes how it looks and how the colors blend together. She has a girlfriend named Huo Ai (belongs to @/auggiestuff_ on Instagram) who she adores so much.
And that's it! ✨
Echo is worth more than 3000 credits, thank you very much!
They call themselves… The Bad Batch.
Happy Bad Batch eve, everyone! <3
