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
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!
@techsbrowneyes and I decided to jump on the Bad Batch action figure band wagon, so here’s a picture of the twins in all their glory:
I have never been more dissatisfied with the finale of a TV show in my entire life. To all you Tech girlies: I’m so sorry. Although it won’t take the pain away, here’s a hug.
The writers ought to be ashamed of themselves, leading us on like that. How cruel can you be?
I try not to write negative posts, but. . . man, TBB Season 3 has brought out the worst in me. I waited (hopeful, eager, naïve) an entire year just to be disappointed. Joy.
So. . . @techsbrowneyes expressed concern that they (they being the writers) made CX-2 resemble Tech in every possible way on purpose just to spark hope amongst Tech fans and keep them coming back. If this is indeed the case, then. . . shame on the writers! How cruel can you be?
This post isn’t to say CX-2 isn’t Tech. There’s still a good possibility—albeit a very, very slim one—that Tech is still alive. But. . . my hope is fast dwindling. Hope used to be a major theme in Star Wars. What happened to that? This season is far from hopeful. Far. It’s been nothing but dark and depressing and. . . dare I say. . . meaningless. It feels like we’ve been going around in circles.
TBB season 3 is inferior compared with its predecessors. Those seasons are masterpieces. This one? Not so much. And it isn’t just because Tech is gone. No. . . Echo has scarcely been in it. Hunter and Wrecker have taken a backseat. Hunter seems to be severely detached; it’s like he doesn’t really care anymore (I miss the old Hunter). Each time Tech is brought up, they act like he never mattered to them. I mean, c’mon! Show a little emotion.
This season hasn’t been very fulfilling. No longer do I look forward to episodes. I’ll watch the remaining episodes, but if the finale doesn’t end well, I may never watch season 3 again. I’ll continue to bask in the glory that is season 1 and 2, and the Bad Batch episodes from season 7 of the Clone Wars, but that’s it.
I was so looking forward to TBB seaon 3. Should I hope that the last episodes will be any good? Probably not. Nevertheless, I will, because hope is all I have left right now, and that’s what Star Wars is built on, right?
Just wanted to point out that when CX-2 said “Who are you” he sounded exactly like Tech. Same pronunciation. Same tone. At this point it’s obvious that CX-2 is Tech.
I can’t help but be drawn to the clone assassin. Why? Easy. He reminds me of Tech. There were tons of parallels in episode 7. I can’t help but wonder… I’m trying not to get my hopes up, but it’s impossible.
Hmm… Can that be Crosshair standing next to Hunter? Sure looks like him. 👀
I love these two ❤️
This was just sitting around so I thought I’d post it. It was fun doing Tech without his goggles :)
I just had to do something of our boys as little cadets. They look so cute and peaceful when they’re sleeping ❤️
The fourth addition to the ‘Bad Batchers as Horses’ series. Here we have Echo, the grumpy one of the squad. Grumpy but adorable.
Here we go… another addition to the ‘Bad Batchers as Horses’ series! Here we have Wrecker as a big, adorable draft horse! This one is my favorite so far.
My heart! Racer is so adorable… ❤️
Soldier. Pilot. Father.
In honor of May the 4th, I’m posting a little something of Tech and Racer. I like to think Tech and Phee bring their son everywhere, even on missions. Tech is usually the one who carries him. Racer enjoys every minute of their adventures :)
I kind of gave up on the shading after awhile, but I still like how this turned out.
Originally, I was going to wait to post this until tomorrow, but I thought, why not post it now?
And so here is the second installment in the ‘Bad Batchers as Horses’ series.
Here we have Tech, the precious one. In my headcanon, CT-9903 is his number.
Happy May the Fourth, everyone! ❤️
In celebration of this most glorious day, I would like to share a piece of art with you. Recently, I came across some artwork depicting the Bad Batchers as animals (which I think is absolutely adorable!) and was inspired to create my own.
I give you… Crosshair as a horse! Horses have always held a special place in my heart. I plan to do a whole series of the Batchers as horses. Next up: Tech!
Beautiful! ❤️
I imagine Crosshair would be the “Hurt her and I’ll kill you” type.
Fan art of Crosshair and an OC named Elayna, who was created by @techsbrowneyes , @crosshairct4, and I.
Not as detailed as my last piece, but I’m trying out different styles to see which ones I like working with.
*Crosshair, teaching Omega how to shoot his sniper rifle*
Crosshair: Aim for Hunter’s feet.
Omega, horrified: But… why?!
Crosshair: Let’s scare the bejeezus out of him.
EVERYONE STOP AND LOOK AT THIS PIC OF CROSS I FOUND
I believe I can flyyy
I feel the same way.
I know everyone can’t have the happy ending they deserve, but am I the only one not satisfied with the Mando finale simply because it seems unfair in the face of the BB finale? The Bad Batch deserved better.
Rewatching The Bad Batch for the millionth time. It never gets old.
Just a simple Bad Batch fanfiction.
This is how I imagine Crosshair will react when Omega tells him about Tech.
Title: It's Okay To Cry
Word count: 854
It was dark and it was cold. His fingers felt numb, as did his heart, which beat listlessly inside of his emaciated chest. He felt a warm hand on his cheek, and then heard a familiar voice:
“Crosshair… Crosshair, wake up… I need you.”
He groaned. How long had he been in this terrible place? It was difficult to say, but he had a ready answer in his head: too long.
The voice persisted.
“Crosshair… please.”
His eyes flickered. A familiar face swam into view, creased with pain and grief and hopelessness. He opened his mouth to speak, but no words came. His throat felt dry.
“Crosshair, you're awake.”
He sat up. He was in that kriffing cell again. Omega stood over him. He saw tear tracks on her face and knew she'd been crying. “So they caught you. I warned you to stay away… why… why didn't you listen?” he asked. His disappointment was immeasurable. Why couldn't his brothers and sister just follow orders? Why was it so difficult for them?
Omega touched his shoulder. “Because we’re family. We don't leave our own behind.”
His eyes got a little misty. He looked quickly away, afraid she would see how moved he was by her words. He had to maintain a stern front lest she glimpse the now fractured soul within him.
“We have to get out of here,” she said, grabbing his hand and tugging on it.
“I'm too weak,” he protested. The very thought of attempting an escape seemed to sap him of what little strength he had left. He didn't think he could make it. Worse, he didn't think he'd be able to protect Omega. “How long have you been here?” he asked.
“That doesn't matter,” she answered, taking a seat next to him. “What matters is that we’re together now. I can save you.”
Crosshair passed a hand over his eyes. Even after all he'd done, she was still willing to save him. He didn't understand it. Glancing over at her, he smiled a little, weary and doubtful though he was. He no longer felt alone, no longer felt as though the weight of the world balanced heavily on his shoulders. He decided then and there that he would help Omega escape Mount Tantiss, damn the risks. She didn't deserve to be trapped in this terrible, forsaken place.
“You're right, you know. We must get out of here,” he said.
“But how?” she asked.
Crosshair rested his chin on the palm of his hand. He had a lot of planning to do. He closed his eyes and began to bounce his knee, wracking his brain for ideas. He had a duty to protect Omega at all costs. He would lay down his life for her, if need be. “We wait for the opportune moment,” he told her calmly. He knew it would come. A little dose of patience was all that was needed.
Omega plopped down next to him with an audible huff which ended in a wince. She had cuts and bruises all over her face and she was limping. He wondered about her injuries, but only briefly; his mind was soon filled with their future escape attempt and he could think of nothing else but leaving this place far behind.
Omega tentatively rested her head against his arm. He didn't know how to respond to that and so he simply settled a hand on her knee and gave it a little squeeze.
“I will get you out of here,” he vowed softly.
“I know,” she murmured, sounding exhausted. “I know…”
“If Tech were here,” he muttered more to himself than to Omega, “he would know what to do.”
Omega dropped her gaze and her lip wobbled, something that wasn't missed by Crosshair. His heart gave a painful lurch. He turned to her and, kneeling down, took her shoulders between his hands. He saw pain in her expression. Something had happened.
“Crosshair, Tech… Tech’s gone,” Omega whispered, lifting her head and meeting his gaze. Her eyes were full of pain.
“Gone? What do you mean?”
“He…. Plan 99.”
All at once, Crosshair was hit with a multitude of emotions. He knew a pain so fierce and powerful, he had to sit down. He didn't want to believe it. Tech… the brother he loved most. The brother who understood him.
Tears stung his eyes and he quickly dashed a hand across his face before Omega could see. It was no use. She saw anyway. She sat next to him and took his hand, administering a gentle, comforting squeeze.
“It's okay to cry,” she told him in a voice trembling with grief.
Crosshair put his head in his hands and wept. He didn't hold back. Regret tormented him. Regret that he had chosen the Empire over his brothers. Had he been there when it happened… perhaps he could have saved Tech.
“He sacrificed himself for us,” Omega said softly. “We can't let that be in vain.”
Crosshair turned to her and nodded. No, they couldn't. They would escape Mount Tantiss. He would make sure of it.
I hope Crosshair grows his hair back in S3. I miss his hair.
“The Good Soldier”
This digital artwork of Crosshair is the newest edition to the Bad Batch fan art I’ve been working on.
I hope we see this tortured man find peace in S3. He certainly deserves it.
