literally me recently
he doesnt want to be here
Modern AU headcannon for you because. because.
Wrecker had a pet rabbit. Her name is Biscuit. He got her when he was incredibly drunk and unhappy. Everyone loves Biscuit.
She's only the size of his hand, but Wrecker takes that rabbit wherever he can. Hunter's slightly allergic, but he'll never complain.
Crosshair likes to hold her after a rough day, and Tech enjoys letting her chill on his lap/in his hood while he goes about the house. Echo takes very good care of her (spoils her, as well) but Wrecker is her favourite.
Lula is Wrecker’s daughter and his absolute pride and joy, despite putting on a front with anyone she doesn’t know, but she’s the nicest person ever when she builds up trust with someone.
been miserable, in a depressive episode, so i’m working on info sheets for all four of my ocs and after this one, i’ve done 2/4!!
im eating noodles rn
More info under cut!!
Full name is Lula Jade (doesn’t have a last name)
Her dad is Wrecker, and she doesn’t exactly have a mother (I don’t know whether I’m gonna make it so that she died when Lula was young, or just decided not to be in Lula’s life)
Her name is Lula, named after her dad’s pride and joy (toy Lula)
She’s allergic to cats, and has a love-hate relationship with Nav’s cat; she loves her for being cute and fluffy, but hates her for making her feel unwell
She’s the only one out of her and her three other cousins who Omega actually trusts to cook a proper meal (Zay would get distracted and burn the ship down, V would forget how to work a stove and burn the ship down, and Nav would spend so long deciding what to cook and burn the ship down)
Cooking is also somewhat of a love language for her, as she hates physical touch (with exception of her dad and maybe Zay) and struggles engaging in deep conversation
Wrecker taught her about explosives when she was tiny, like she probably knew how to disarm a bomb before she knew how to brush her own teeth
Gets very offended when people pass her off as being the ‘dumb one’ of the group, but she’s very emotionally smart, and is a really good read of character
Tech: See, if I put the cling film over the plate when I unwrap the sandwich the plate doesn’t get dirty! Would you look at that!
Phee: Ah, okay. *very concerned*
My Grandad was very proud of his little idea, my Nan was not amused at all.
They’re actually my babies
I still need to add shading and rendering and stuff but have a coloured sketch of the only three ocs that I can actually draw
I was gonna post this ages ago but like,,
THIS IS STUNNING
The background, characters, drawing, everything is absolutely gorgeous 🤌🤌
You are cordially invited…. 🥰💚💕
(Happy ARC Trooper Thursday! This was totally inspired by @rainydaydream-gal18 ‘s https://www.tumblr.com/rainydaydream-gal18/750754157428916224/the-bad-batch-imagine-a-pabu-wedding post! Go check out her writing, it’s wonderful!)

silly squad post silly squad post omg
i love these guys u have no idea
Silly Squad Pride Doodles!
Happy Pride from the sillies :)
Clone Wars Version here!
Find out more about the Silly Squad here!
Close ups and personal headcanons/identies under the cut!
Tube twins!
Tech is greyromantic
Crosshair is demiromantic
Both have complicated feelings with romantic attraction/don't fully understand it but it doesn't make them all the less capable of loving or being loved
Hunter and Jung are both MLM!
Hunter is an oriented aroace - he feels aesthetic attraction towards men/masculine individuals
Jung is asexual and a demiboy (uses he/they pronouns)
They're in a queerplatonic relationship
Itri and Omega are transfems!
You can pry transfem Omega from my cold, dead hands
Itri is Khea and Wrecker's daughter - Khea found her when Itri was around 5-6 years old
Phee is bisexual!
Tech is quoisexual - meaning he doesn't really relate to or understand experiences or concepts of sexual attraction and orientation/feels confusion towards his feelings of attraction - one thing he isn't confused about? He loves Phee :)
Wrecker is omnisexual and Khea is pansexual! - While similar-ish identities the two do vary when it comes to attraction
Echo and Viram are both Demisexual and bisexual/romantic!
Though Echo leans a little more towards being both demisexual and demiromantic than anything
Cross doesn't like labels but he likes men - he knows that much
Tay is bisexual! Though if you ask him, he'll jokingly say he's 'Cross-sexual' because he's absolutely whipped for his man
Also I totally didn't draw the bi flag upside down - Tay is just an idiot
Achillean hearts! Because they're men attracted to men and I think the flag is pretty and wanted to include it
ugh i love Tech so much and relate to him on an emotional level, ESPECIALLY in the crossing when he’s speaking to Omega in the cave, saying just because he doesn’t express things, doesn’t mean he doesn’t necessarily feel them too AND I GET THAT!! (which is also another reason why the crossing is one of my favorite episodes)
like,, if i have problems i won’t talk about them and i will pray that someone else then asks if im okay so i have an excuse to actaully talk
i struggle talking to people/expressing things/portraying emotions and i genuinely hate that about myself but i love seeing that represented in my favorite thing ever, and in a character like Tech
if only he wasn’t killed off
anyway im super upset rn so this was just yap 🤌
in sci-fi/fantasy-type media, seeing my autistic traits in a character is rare (that’s not really a secret—we all know that there isn’t enough autism representation in the media). BUT, when there is a character with traits i relate to, it is often an alien.
think mantis or drax from guardians of the galaxy. sure, they’re main characters, but their traits that feel relatable to me are made to be a joke, and they’re like… literally aliens. it’s common in media for aliens to miss sarcasm and social cues, to be blunt, things like that. things that are also autistic traits.
so, i watch guardians of the galaxy and see myself in the aliens, the outcasts, the ones who don’t fit the same as the others because they are literally not human. this doesn’t apply to all aliens ofc but my point stands.
tech, on the other hand, is just… different. he thinks and acts differently, as do the rest of the batch, and all their differences are so celebrated. i mean, aside from that kinda being the point of the show, they’re also portraying his differences as who he is, and using it as a tool for him. which i love. he’s not an alien species. he’s not a joke (he’s teased by his brothers, but that’s just siblings lol).
(also this isn’t to say that drax and mantis are bad characters or anything. i love them and find them hilarious.)
anyway. i’ve been thinking a lot about tech lately and why he means the actual world to me, and this whole thing hasn’t left my head in days so i’m making a post about it. hopefully it resonates with someone😂
i know ive already read these but i was so excited reading them again 😭
Trying something new!
I'm going to attempt to post something Silly Squad related - be it headcanons, one shots/fics, or art - every Saturday! Because Silly Squad Saturday has a nice ring to it and it eases into OC Sunday pretty nicely :)
That and I want to try and motivate myself to do more with these guys because I post about like,, 10% of the collective lore I have about them while the rest of the 90% stays up in my brain.
So welcome and hello to the first-ever Silly Squad Saturday!
We're kicking off with some excerpts from the first chapter of fics I have planned for them and the Bad Batch (plus the headers for the fics)!
Each fic is dedicated to either Jung, Viram, Khea, or Tay and goes into detail about their lives before meeting the Bad Batch, their families, and what lead them to finding a home with our boys :)
Enjoy!
A forgotten relic of a fallen religion.
Jung can remember the fire.
The blinding lights of red and gold. Of blue fury. Of an indescribable heat that could only be described as pure and utter hatred; burning hotter than the brightest stars.
He remembers the smell of smoke that followed from that fire. That sickly haze that still haunts him like a ghost and suffocates him in the silence of the night and his mind.
He remembers the weight of his saber in his hands. How the once familiar cool of metal felt heavier than any burden he’d once carried, suddenly foreign during a time he so desperately needed it to protect like it was designed to do.
But worse than the sight of the flames, the smell of the smoke, and the weight so heavy in his hands were the sounds of screams.
Of cries that pierced the night. Calls of confusion. Of desperations, betrayal, and fury. Sounds that should have never echoed against the Temple walls. Sounds that would now forever echo inside Jung’s head.
Jung could remember it all.
The sound of sudden blaster fire. The relentless pursuit of a blue blade radiating pure anger and fear. The sight of dozens of familiar helmets hiding what had once been men behind visors that only reflected the terrified faces of children and the desperation in those called upon to protect them.
Those like Jung.
In robes of hold and white, with intricate masks to hide his face. White to surrender his identity. Gold for knowledge and commitment to the Order. And a mask–like the rest of them–to conceal what had once been a person.
Jung had served his Order well. After all, he knew of no other life. No other path. No other name. Nothing but white and gold robes, a mask, and a pike in his hands. He’d done his part, but nothing could have prepared him for the day that the Order fell.
Everything he had known–everything he once was–fell away to fire and smoke from a blade wielded by one of their own and blaster bolts from their own army.
A religion, millenniums in the making, nearly completely destroyed overnight.
A medic who helps everyone but herself.
Since Viram could remember, she wanted to help people.
As the oldest of four, she’d always been in charge and had the responsibilities of looking after her siblings and taking care of them. She cooked, she cleaned, she made sure they did their academy work and stayed out of trouble. With her parents out more often than not, Viram assumed the role of ‘mom’ and ‘dad;’ growing up much faster than those her age. But it was okay, at least to Viram it was, because she understood it was something that had to be done.
And while some would crumble under the weight of expectations, Viram thrived. There wasn’t anything the Mikkian couldn’t tackle and everything she did–she did it to honor her parents.
Her father was a well-renowned doctor while her mother was an inspiring teacher, and Viram respected and admired them from the very start. They were the perfect picture of an Inner and Mid Rim family. Well off and respected, her parents were shining lights in their communities that were constantly helping those in need with their skills and talents. Viram so desperately wanted to be like them.
So, she did what she could to follow in their footsteps. She excelled in school and at home she looked after her siblings when her parents worked late. Some might’ve pitied her and thought she was forced into her duties and dreams by her parents, but Viram didn’t care or listen to them. It was her life, and she wanted it to be just like her parents’:
Perfect.
Well at least, Viram thought that was how it was and would forever remain.
For a good part of her life though, that’s how life was. She graduated with honors, watched her siblings grow up and follow their own dreams, and she started to work under her father and learn his practice. She had studied to become a medic at the academy on Coruscant and as soon as she had graduated, she took everything she had learned to her father and started to learn even more from him out on the field.
She could finally help people in the way that she forever had wished that she could, with every wound treated, every assessment diagnosed, every bandage so delicately placed, Viram was achieving her dreams. Everything was perfect.
And then the war started.
A little starbird with no way back home.
Khea wished she couldn’t remember her roots.
She wished the beskar she wore wasn’t her own, that her tongue didn’t speak foreign words and her mind didn’t know ancient legends and myths. Khea wished that the blood in her veins didn’t burn bright like the fires in the Great Forge and that the last name she carried wasn’t shared with any clan. She wished that everything she ever was and everything that came before her would fade to stardust and leave her with a blank slate.
Because to be a Nultez was to be a wanderer. To be a Nultez was to be cursed to forever be…
Lost.
Her father started the curse, when he left Chandrila to escape an ancient tradition, only to find himself as a lowly performer in a traveling circus until he met her mother. Her mother then shared the curse when she decided to marry him and take his last name–leaving her clan to start her own and finding love and life outside of Mandalore. Then they gave it to their children–Jovaz, Khea, and Mitcan.
Jovaz Nultez, the zealot. Khea Nultez, the wander. And Mitcan Nultez, the dreamer.
Siblings bound together by a last name, but not bound to stay together.
A destiny that was decided before they were even born, fate woven into the stars; something so out of Khea’s control yet something she felt at fault for every waking day and every sleepless night. Because she had made promises to her brothers: To Jovaz, she promised that she would always stick with him–no matter what. To Mitcan, she promised she wouldn’t leave him–that she wouldn’t let him down.
But when Jovaz came to her, speaking of honor and ancient ways, asking her to join him and run away from all they’d ever known–she couldn’t bring herself to go with him. What he spoke of was something she couldn’t stomach and like a coward she refused and let him go down a dark path, leaving her with guilt and the new burden of being the oldest child.
It was a guilt that was haunting, one that pushed her to try and bring him back, only for her to break her promise to Mitcan in the meantime.
She hadn’t planned on it, but Mitcan wanted to go with her to bring their brother back. For a few years they searched for him and when they finally found him–Khea broke her promise to Mitcan. She couldn’t protect him. Couldn’t save Jovaz from himself. Couldn’t be the big sister Mitcan saw her as. She let Mitcan down–and it led him to his death.
Khea wishes she never made those promises, but they weren’t the only promises she had made.
A merciless merc all caught up in strings.
Tay doesn’t remember much from his past–and that was probably a good thing.
He didn’t know exactly how he ended up in The Cauldron–a colosseum that had always felt so giant and grand to him when it should’ve been seen for what it was; a cage. He couldn’t remember how he–a chagrian with nothing to his name– found his only home to be one of cages and chains.
However, as he got older, he had his theories. Theories that all boiled down to one obvious claim: his parents–whoever they were–didn’t care about him enough to keep him. Instead, all he was to them was a quick paycheck, sold to slavers who took him away to the colosseum to train and fight until the inevitable day he died a gruesome death in the name of entertainment and credits.
And maybe he should’ve died a gruesome death the first time he was put into a match once he was old enough, but he was determined to prove something. He was determined to prove he was more than what was assumed of him. To prove to his bastard parents he was more than a paycheck–wherever they were. To prove he deserved every right to exist in the galaxy like the rest of them.
So he fought. He fought and he won. Again and again.
And the cheers and praise that came once he’d won his debut match? They were addicting.
It didn’t take Tay long to thrive off the attention and acknowledgement that came with winning matches. Suddenly he was more. He had a purpose. And to the young, cocky chagrian, it felt an awful lot like respect. But most importantly, it felt like love.
The people loved him. They couldn’t get enough of him. Every fight. Every opponent. Every win. Tay was addicted to the crowds and they were addicted to him.
Tay brought crowds. He brought in money. He was more than anyone who had bought him could’ve imagined. That’s because more than a fighter, Tay was a performer. He could put on a show. He had learned how to capture the audiences with his natural charm and it wasn’t long before his ‘holders’ began to see use for him in areas outside of the ring. After all, there were a lot who would pay a pretty credit or two to be up close and personal with Tay’kaa, the reigning champ Chagrian...
