The two-year anniversary of his death will be at least three to four days away. Tech, I dedicate this to you. A pie codenamed "Brown Eyes".
Dough:
Mix 400-450 grams of flour with 7 grams of yeast and one teaspoon of salt;
Melt 95 grams of butter over low heat;
Heat the milk (250 milliliters) in the microwave for a minute or one and a half;
Add one chicken egg together with butter to one container with milk and stir;
Add to the dry ingredients;
Mix until smooth and leave for an hour under a cloth.;
Melt a few small pieces (56 grams) oil on low heat;
Sprinkle the work surface with flour;
Cut the dough into two pieces in a ratio of about 60:40;
We roll out the first piece with a rolling pin;
We lubricate the baking sheet with oil and put the dough on it;
Add the apples and sprinkle them with cinnamon and vanilla sugar.;
Add one sliced orange, three sliced bananas and forty grams of raisins;
Roll out the second piece of dough and put it on top;
We lubricate the top with oil and send it to the oven for forty minutes at 200 degrees Celsius.
I associate all these ingredients with Tech in one way or another. Cinnamon, because he's a cinnamon bun. Apples, because apple pie is generally good with cinnamon and many add it to charlotte. Raisins are generally rich in B vitamins, lowers blood pressure, strengthens the heart, improves sleep, supports healthy sleep, gives a boost of energy, and I think Tech loved these kinds of dried fruits. Bananas and oranges are tropical fruits, and I think it's understandable why I decided to add them to a pie named after Brown Eyes.
If there were more tropical fruits with cinnamon and apples, the name would be TechPhee.
In memory of our boy, I think we can experiment. Since it's a little late at the moment, I'll share my impressions of this culinary experiment tomorrow.
Rest in peace, Brown Eyes!
Thank you for tagging me in the last post. I got this pair.
I think most of the time I would joke about them, and then I would start trying to woo them. It either ended up getting rid of me because I can be annoying, or I became a bridesmaid at their wedding.

Tag Game!
Thanks to @archivewriter1ont for the tag!
You have to go on a 72-hour hyperspace journey with the last Star Wars Character saved in your photos.
Who is your traveling buddy?
How do you feel about it?
And will you survive if you ran into trouble?
It’s Wrecker!!!
I’m so excited! It would be so fun to go on a trip with this lovable guy. We would chat and munch on mantel mix.
We would be find if we ran into trouble. Honestly, he’s so intimidating no one would mess with us.
Then we’d meet up with the rest of the Batch and go out for a space curry. It would be prefect 😂

Tech: I'm back!
Wrecker, Echo, Omega and Hunter: 😀🥹
Crosshair sight:...
Crosshair sight: Batcher, full face.
Everyone: NO!
Batcher: * attacks the Tech and starts licking him aggressively*
Everyone: * a little puzzled*
Crosshair sight: Batcher, now everything is as we taught, to lie down.
Batcher:* Lies on top of the Tech, without giving him the opportunity to get up*
Crosshair: * proudly scratches her behind the ear * Good girl.
Tech: What the hell?
Crosshair: This is your revenge for Plan 99, asshole.
For this reason, they did not put a laser sight on his rifle. But the whole party goes around with such pointers to incite him against enemies like a cat.
Hallmarks of Crosshair the black cat: kill the red laser dot Tech will handle it. @eobe @eclec-tech @lonewolflupe @covert1ntrovert
Tech on the phone: Hey Phee, hi, remember when you said you had no plans for this weekend? I was wondering if you'd mind going... On a date with me?
Wrecker, sitting two meters away from his brother and wearing a wig: Uh, no.
Tech: Very funny. I would have supported you better.
Somewhere in an alternate universe... Tech is captured by the Empire, but escapes safely with his sister and brother from Tantiss. His first meeting with Phee after almost six months begins with a reboot, because he clearly did not expect to see her with a belly. Crosshair clearly didn't expect anything more like this. It was at this moment that his ideas about gemini shattered.
Phee's ex-boyfriend: How is he better than me?
Phee lying in bed with Tech in an embrace: Are you sure you want to know all the reasons?
Tech: So I'm the only one confused that your ex came into our room?
Tech with freckles. It would be better if he really had them.
Not so long ago, I decided to review the first seasons of the Bad Batch and realized one thing.
In this scene, Omega is sitting in the first pilot's seat. It would seem that there is nothing wrong with that, but I like to think that this is some kind of omen. A hint that the girl will take her brother's place in the future.
In the second season, he teaches her while sitting in the copilot's seat. In the end, due to these lessons, Omega became a pilot.
But there was a hint of this back in the first season, when she was put in Tech's place.
Something happens to Omega. Wrecker and Tech, bringing her to the bar and finding Hunter there: Uh, can we explain everything? (they look at each other in search of an answer that will keep them alive and well)
Announcer: "A friendly reminder to all our spectators: be mindful of blaster fire. Safa Toma Speedway is not liable for any injury, death, or disintegration."
Tech and Wrecker as they look at Omega: If anything happens, what the kriff are we going to tell Hunter??
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.
POV: Tech and Hamlock are fighting for the soul of the Cross

Or something like that, here at your discretion
Don’t care what anyone says. To me, Echo would kill for his little rats (he calls the Batch his little Rats, obvi)
Yes, he will move away from such news in series three or four. His little social brother, with the boring mode enabled in the 25/8 format, managed to get a ✨HoT GiRlFrEnD✨.
Forget about crosshair learning about Tech dying, forget about seeing the first scene of the crew reuniting. I need a scene where Crosshair learns that Tech of all people was able to swoon a pirate. His reaction would be legendary.
Yeah. It has been a long time since there has been such a stir around someone's personality. At this point in time, there are 4 versions of who this is known to me. Tech, Cody, a random clone, and in the Russian segment I came across a version that this dude is a clone of Obi Wan. the latter is more of a funny version than one that should be taken seriously.
Alright.. Everyone saying this guy is Tech. My theory is that this is Cody. C'mon think about it, this season is bringing all the stuff back from season 1, like Avi Singh or Roland Durand. Cody dissapeared a long time ago in season 2 and I don't think he was a random cameo. Also Crosshair mentions he was resisting the re-education program cuz he is a defective clone, so Tech must have resist it too (if he was alive). Sorry for bad english lol :)) Also also.. they mentioned Boba in season 1, I have my hopes up xd
The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
The Bad Batch 3.04 - Different Approach and The Bad Batch 1.12 - Rescue on Ryloth
I'm fine, I'm totally ok. 😭
Надеюсь, так и будет, когда Тех оказывается жив и не в руках Империи
I hope it will be so when Those are alive and not in the hands of the Empire.
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 🤌
something that i’ve realized about why tech means so much to me as an autistic person…
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😂
Nav info page!!
Nav is the son of Tech and Phee, who’s basically a carbon copy of his father, with his mother’s love for adventure, and joins the rebellion with his Aunt Omega and three younger cousins!!
i FINALLY had enough time to actually work on my ocs now that im not in exams every two minutes
More info under cut!!
Full name is Navarlan ‘Nav’ Aelius Genoa, but him and Tech tell EVERYONE that Nav is short for Navigator
Aelius: Greek word for sun/sunshine, because Nav is very much a walking ray of sunshine (even though he doesn’t know it)
Is literally so oblivious to people liking him (just like his dad!!) and needs to be straight up TOLD “i love you”, because he doesn’t understand any body language signals, and will just pass it off as the person being friendly
Has the same hairstyle/bandana as Phee, and takes after her by wearing gold charms in his hair all the time
Has a cat called Maya that he found malnourished on Pabu, and took back home (Maya is inspired by my cat Willow)
Maya is named Maya after the Weeping Maya tree on Pabu (Willow is named after Willow trees, so Maya is named after the Weeping Maya tree)
He has her even though Lula is deathly allergic to cats (which causes a lot of arguments), but Maya is everyones baby
Makes lightsabers for his favourite little cousin who’s an absolute menace <3
Only learnt how to build and repair things to make lightsabers for Zay, because she always manages to break them, and lose parts of them
going to crawl back into my hole of embarrassment now okay bye
The Bad Batch if they auditioned for school musicals!!
(only making this bc i auditioned for a musical earlier today and i was so nervous)
Hunter: Auditions for the main male lead, flips his hair about eighty times whilst auditioning, only ever sings one verse of the song but always gets told it was more than enough and he did great, got the main male lead once, other than that, mostly background characters, because the performing arts teachers really like him.
Wrecker: Comforts the younger years who are auditioning for the first time and are nervous, usually goes for backstage crew to help out, but is happy to play any extras, always gives his opinion to his brothers when they’re auditioning.
Tech: Knows every single song and researches every character in advance, but applies for stage lights. Somehow gets talked into playing an understudy for one of the lead roles and absolutely smashing it (little hc of that he meets Phee through this, as she’s playing the love interest for the character that he is an undestudy for.)
Crosshair: Auditions for chorus, gets chorus, Hunter and Echo have tried to convince him to go for lead roles because, in their words, “why not”, but he always refused and did chorus, and was really good friends with one of the male drama teachers who said Crosshair was “eccentric”
Echo: Auditions for chorus, gets main cast, he actually has an amazing singing voice, and rehearses his song all the time, is really sweet to everyone else on the cast as a whole, but everyone loves him (who wouldn’t?)
Omega: auditions for main cast in her first or second year, but usually one of the younger characters, so she gets it, her brothers all come to see her in the musical
little bonus :)
Fives: Doesn’t audition, but goes to every single show to support his brothers and absolutely loves it, all of it, and sometimes even helps them audition by running lines with them.
wip of my faves!!!!
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,,
Something that my grandparents said that I thought was very much Tech and Phee
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.
One of the many style icons of the Rebellion, Nav Genoa
(Tech and Phee’s son)
and yes i got a random stock photo off google for the standing pose
closeups under cut!!
(i don’t really like the face forward one soo we’ll leave it out)
wooo
I think this is the best thing ive ever created
This is a lovely conversation me and my friends had and I thought I’d add tbb into it 😭
Idk why it just felt like a conversation they’d have too 😭
cyute
IM CRYING THE CADET TECH ITS SO HILARIOUSLY ACCURATE
Decal and clearcoat day ahoy
CX-2 helmet and full assembly test. Not bad, not great. I need to tweak my decal a bit a get better at the paint placement for the silver.
Cyberpunk!Tech helmet upgrade and custom head (orange lenses and blue strap on the goggles)
Cadet!Tech, decal'd torso and datapad, decal'd shoulders
i was plotting when i put these two next to each other on my wall fr 😭
posted on ao3 for the first time in a millennia, the idea for this came to me in the middle of my english lit exam, and i NEEDED to write it
noo this is so sweettt 😭
Tech would have been so excited to take Phee’s last name
except the problem was, the rest of the Bad Batch took it, too.
It started with Omega. She was out shopping with Tech for one thing or other when he introduced himself as “Tech Genoa” and she just got so excited and bounced up and down and exclaimed, “And I’m Omega Genoa!” And it wasn’t really the time to correct her, except then Wrecker picked up on it and he got so excited because “that’s right, we get a last name now!!” And they just run around the house screaming “Omega Genoa” and “Wrecker Genoa” while a flabbergasted Tech tries to find a tactful way to explain that actually only he gets the last name.
Hunter and Echo of course know how the last name thing works, but they also thinks it’s hilarious, so they start using it, too. First just as a joke around the house, but then it just kinda starts to roll off the tongue, and admittedly, it’s kinda nice having two halves of a name instead of just one. Crosshair thinks the whole thing is absurd, until someone new in town asks him which family he belongs to and he just scoffs and says, “Genoa, obviously,” and he started using it after that.
And that is why Phee came home from an expedition two weeks later to see a hand carved sign on the front of the Batch’s door that reads “The Genoas” and an extremely exasperated but endeared Tech.
So, @techsbrowneyes, @sgthunter001 and I have been playing Red Dead Online for about three years now. We made Hunter, Tech, and Crosshair as characters and have been roleplaying them. Here’s the result in a fun, hilarious video that any Bad Batch fan won’t want to miss!
