“i Never Gave Up On You Did I?”

My heart skipped a whole lotta beats. I might have died for a while.

With you, I serve, with you I fall down, down

Watch you breathe in, watch you breathing out, out

look I know I mentioned this a little while ago but I am fascinated with crosshair's incredibly consistent relationship with leadership vs. following. he has no will! no purpose! no direction! leave him alone and he ends up like he was on tantiss, depressed and apathetic! he is so so desperate to find meaning and direction in other people all the time. he defaults to hunter, i think, but he's also obviously capable of switching it when he wants to. to the empire, and then from there to cody and mayday, and losing them is what makes him snap. he will turn to literally anyone. defer to anyone. even omega. even when it's a terrible idea. and he hates it so much. i'd be willing to bet that's why his relationship with hunter is so consistently fraught; he wants so badly to be independent or to lead but he can't. so he lashes out at the one person he's followed his whole life.

something something the lone wolf who's secretly a pack animal and dial it up to 100.

CROSSHAIR ⇢ "The Harbinger" [s03e09]

CW // Blood & Gore I always find myself imagining just what Echo went through with the Techno Union, and how painful it must've been. Lots of loud drills, pressure, cold and pain. All while not being able to grasp his reality.

This is Moss.

Honestly he's not important for the story at all and purely exists because I wanted some variation for the background Clones. Poor guy. 🫡

If you're a fanfic writer feel free to adopt him and give him a home in the wildest backstory imaginable lol

Vocal isolation of Rampart screaming in S3E14 🤣

Noshir Dalal hit it out of the park with this performance. I would kill to see a behind the scenes of him doing this episode.

Please feel free to share this anywhere, esp Twitter

He will die saving her.

Okay here’s something I noticed about Crosshair and Omega’s relationship, and why I think it was so easy for Crosshair to grow attached to her.

Basically- he says that loyalty is something that means a lot to him, and Omega is the ONE person who never EVER gave up on him.

All the way back in the very first episode even- they’re sitting in a containment cell and Omega says to him: “I know what you’re going to do, but please don’t.” His response is simply, “what do you know?” To which she says, “I know it’s not your fault.” The others were quick to wonder why he would turn on them, Omega knew he didn’t have a choice.

During Kamino Lost- after Crosshair doesn’t take their offer, Omega’s the only one who turns back to him. “You’re still their brother, Crosshair. You’re my brother too.”

And on Tantiss- he would dismiss her, tell her not to bother talking to him, but she doesn’t stop. She refuses to escape without him, no matter what he tells her to do or says to dissuade her, she won’t leave him behind.

The rest of the batch gave him a chance- they wanted him back- but they left him behind, even if it was Crosshair’s choice to stay. Omega wouldn’t give up on him, no matter what, even at the risk of her own safety and only chance to escape.

She never gave up on him. Even when he felt like he wasn’t worth it.
