⚠️ SPOILERS WARNING FOR "THE BAD BATCH" SEASON 3, EPISODE 11 & POSSIBLY 12 ⚠️

(I'm writing this on the Monday before episode 12 comes out)

I literally just thought of something so sad, and now I am going to make other people who see this sad too because I don't want to be alone. 😭

So yes, we all know that Hunter and Crosshair will more than likely get into a fight or argument once Hunter realizes that Omaga was taken away again. And yes, that makes me sad because I don't want to them possibly fight, BUT DUDE, IMAGINE HOW UPSET AND/OR SAD WRECKER WILL BE WHEN HE WAKES UP FROM BEING KNOCKED TF OUT, AND FINDS OMAGA GONE!

He'll feel AWFUL for not being able to help! HE'LL BE SO HEARTBROKEN!!! 😭😭😭💔💔💔

Edit: AND OMG YEAH, ECHO WILL BE UPSET TOO AND POSSIBLY MAD AT CROSSHAIR

The mother and son duo have been digitalize!! ✨

And take this 💕

She's strong 💪

Tell me why your hands are cold~

Kneko smiled softly as she listened to Tech info dump about why hands would become cold, not missing the way his face had flush. 'That's my Tech.' She thought, feeling herself fall deeper for him.

WIP title game!

Thanks for the tag @i-will-write

rules: 1. make a new post with the names of all the files in your WIP folder, regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. 2. let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them, and then post a little snippet or tell them something about it! 3. tag as many people as you have WIPs

I'm gonna limit this to things I've worked on in the last six months. Not all of them actually have titles so have brief descriptions instead.

Star Wars Bad Batch Fics

Runaways Cadets (bad batch fic featuring a GN reader)

Jedi reader x Crosshair

(reader works at Cid's tending the bar when TBB show up. not sure where that's going but it's in my WIP folder so its here)

Original Fics

Squad 177 (original scifi that I got inspired to write while watching the clone wars)

(original fantasy; a bunch of teens/YAs discover ancient charms that give them powers and have to save the world)

(other original fantasy; i can't concisely summarise this but it also features a team of heroes with magic powers, but its different from the other one I promise)

Tagging @orangez3st @ladylucksrogue @nkinene and anyone else who wants to join in!

This is very cool

The Journey of Clone Force 99 (and Friends)

a fun little research project i've been working on -- mapping out the locations visited by [members of] Clone Force 99, as seen on-screen in their Clone Wars Season 7 arc and The Bad Batch show itself. i really wanted to see where these locations were in relation to each other in the big, wide, Star Wars galaxy.

click on the map images to enlarge them in new tabs/windows; hopefully you can read the planet names better that way!

the full list of locations -- known, and unknown (ie. not on the map) -- are listed below, along with my resources and other notes. enjoy! 😊🗺️📌

~~~~~~~~~

Note #1: Any planet names on the map that I had to add/type in myself are locations that I had to approximate, based on their Wookiepedia entries. They're not 100% accurate but I feel they're pretty darn close!

Note #2: This is NOT the complete map of all locations visited -- there were about 10 places that had planet or moon names in Wookiepedia, but no information on their location within the galaxy, not even a sector name.

Note #3: the pink-purple "misc" locations are ones that were either A) visited by non-CF99 characters, and/or B) mentioned or shown on-screen but no one really 'went' to the planet. They're all mentioned in the big list at the end of these notes.

Resources:

primary map (the one in the images above); from Wookiepedia. I desaturated the colours for better visuals and trimmed the edges a little.

used the links here to access the sector maps for the Outer and Mid Rims. it's an older but legitimate Star Wars source, from a book published in 2009, but I believe it has remained accurate and carried over into the Disney Canon. I used this a lot for the locations that weren't on the primary map -- Wookiepedia gave me the planet's sector name, and I was able to find the sector using these maps.

this map is fan-made and can be zoomed into very closely to see a lot more locations. There are also faint outlines for the sectors. I don't think this map itself is 100% accurate either, but it was still very helpful in confirming some locations I was approximating.

Fun things I noticed:

with it's "cameo" / intro appearance at the very end of Season 1, Wayland/Tantiss is the only location that we see in all three TBB seasons.

(unless there was a Coruscant scene i'm forgetting from S1??? that would be the other most likely candidate. but I think we only visit Coruscant in S2 and S3.)

(Ord Mantell came kinda close, with an indirect reference in S3, re: the imperials finding and questioning Cid.)

“Dad can we get a dog—”

best teamup in the show

I saw someone saying how Cody would comb the deserts of Tatooine to find Obi-Wan after going AWOL in The Bad Batch. Somehow, this was the first image that popped into my head:

Please, someone with artistic talent (not me) make fanart of this.

This is a Captain Howzer stan account

I’ve had a big brain moment:

So everyone knows how white-washed Tech from the Bad Batch is? Like looks nothing like the other clones or the guy he’s a CLONE of? And how they made up BS excuses as to why? Well I’ve come up with a solution.

Tech came out sickly, pale, and small. The Kaminoans initially want to get rid of him but they decide to test if he is as intelligent as they hoped. He was of course. But Tech began to equate his worth with his intelligence, leaving him to over explain things to prove that he actually understands. So the gang sit with him while he info-dumps about something in excruciating detail. They’re willing to listen to him if it helps him feel safer and calmer.

So THATS what this style is called. Yes, Crosshair in this. Also Donnie and Mikey.

I personally think Crosshair would look incredible in both smart grunge, and tactical grunge outfits🤤

Handsome boys

Quick sketch of a scruffy-looking Tech. Phee gets me.

This fandom doesn't talk about the reckless drifting flying enough. Man straight up goes Baby Driver on multiple occasions

a niche character trope i like is the person who is nice, a good person and acts well adjusted, then they do something where it’s like. oh you’re secretly a little bit insane actually

Surprise adoptions

Husband material

i just love him sm....
