The Bad Batch - Blog Posts

as someone who gets migraines and headaches a lot i love this so much this is so accurate

it’s canon in my mind idc

A new reason to whip up soma Bad Batch fanart again... a little animation this time!

Just Hunter rubbing his temples.

Star Wars OC doodle page!!

i forgot to post this last week oops

i feel very lonely right now so hopefully posting this helps

i finally finished it (i think)

This is Azaylea (Zay) and she’s Crosshair’s daughter so she like,, doesn’t really have a last name

So here are some like facts about her!!

- Shes half Theelin, half Human and is no longer in contact with her mother (she died when Zay was two)

- She was found in a forest by Emerie and Echo, and they ran a DNA test on her to like,, find out where she came from, and then her DNA matched up to Crosshair’s and they were both like ‘wtf’

- She has a pink lightsaber!! She alternates between using Form II and Form IV (Ventress taught her Form II after Zay crash landed on a planet and ran into her)

- She found her kyber crystal in a cavern on Pabu, and has broken a total of 11 lightsabers (Nav made all of them and was not happy)

closeups under cut!!

now gonna go crawl in a hole i get so embarrassed posting for some reason

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,,

*when Cody comes to visit*

Fives: Do you want to see a butterfly? Cody: Uh, yes? Rex: NO! Fives: *throws the butter across the table* Echo: Fucking majestic

Last line challenge!!

also omg i just found out i can make that purple!!!

Rules: in a new post, show the last line you wrote (or drew) and tag as many people as there are words (or as many as you feel like.)

thank youu @stars-n-spice for the tag your little piece was so sweet and funny

Soo I wrote this last night when I was like keeled over in pain cause I was not doing good but its Zay (my oc) essentially almost dying of hypothermia!!

The incessant beeping of Nav’s datapad was starting to become even more annoying than it already was. The cold of the open door was suddenly so much more brutal than it had been before.

Everything felt like it was spinning, or as if it wasn’t. Every noise was suddenly so much louder, but so much quieter and distant.

She could hear the breathing of those around her, as if it was her own - was it her own? Maybe. Not sure.

Her whole body felt numb. As if she was just a vessel, floating around aimlessly, mindlessly, carelessly. Nothing else. Though pain was constantly dragging her back to consciousness. The constant pain at the back of her left ankle, the muscle she must’ve pulled in her elbow, the throbbing that continuously attacked at her head.

Everything was so real. She was there. But she wasn’t. She was constantly being passed around through consciousness. Hearing, feeling, seeing. Though not.

that’s literally what fainting feels like from my perspective it’s very odd

ive literally just found that i can colour these letters my life is officially complete i can die happy

No pressure tags: @zahmaddog @w3rd0-artist @slamophile @echos-lefthand plus anyone else who wants to join

dude i know literally like 2-3 people on this app its embarrassing

I LOVE THIS WHAT??

Here he is! Retired beach dad Hunter! He is passing out 99 shots to any batchers he comes across at Dragon Con. See you out there!

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.

Son of the Republic, Hero of the Rebellion

(basically another Star Wars oc)

This is Vihan Chuchi, he was the result of a one night stand between Riyo and Echo (whoops) (Gregor got them both drunk) (they co-parent him)

He’s also like a hairstyle extraordinaire with the amount of different styles I debated giving him

I am planning on giving him a full outfit at some point, I just wanted to give him tattoos

closeups under cut :))

yay

same crosshair same

"Preferences" - another stupid, bad comic(s)

Alternative:

Based on the popular headcanon that Crosshair A) is lactose intolerant and B) has terrible taste in men.

Close-ups and text under the cut!

Crosshair: I like my women how I like my tea.

Hunter: Fruity?

Echo: Scalding?

Wrecker: Sweet?

Tech: Black?

Crosshair: *sips on coffee*

Crosshair: I like my men how I like my coffee.

Tech: Crosshair, that has a kark-ton of sugar in it.

Echo: You're going to give yourself a stomachache. That's not good for you.

Crosshair: 'That's the point...'

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 don’t have any new art to share… so I’m should going to repost some of my other Star Wars art from this summer until I do 🥰 If anyone wants to follow me on other platforms, I’m also on DeviantArt, Instagram, and Toyhouse!

Since Omega is ultra skilled in strategy games to where she never looses, and Tech plays against himself because it’s the only time it’s a challenge, what if Omega and Tech played against each other? Who wins? (In this scene, definitely Omega, he’s still loopy on pain killers and sedatives, maybe she’ll go easy on him XD)

This is after s2e2, my poor heart was hurting so much for my nerdy boy when he broke his leg! Then this idiot decided to walk out in the woods alone at night on it and went and fought some troopers. DUDE, REST YOUR LEG. He may be smart but he’s also dumb. When he finally collapsed, I was internally crying for someone to help him!! I needed to know he got help but the episode ended before that, so I went and did it myself. Because he was stupid with his injury, he probably made the fracture even worse and needed surgery. You know I research a lot of medical stuff for my stories, right? So Omega is playing balaans with Tech to help him kill boring recovery time 🖤🩶❤️

and big protective sibling (father figure) Hunter stays with him as he stays over for the night. He is exhausted and sleep deprived but silently celebrating that his insomniac brother is getting extra hours of Z’s at last! XDD thank the force hes actually sleeping tech is insomniac i dont make the rules

Please do not trace, recolor, edit, or repost my art without permission, even if you are planning to give me proper credit!

Tech, Omega, and Hunter belongs to Lucasfilm/Disney

Made with Procreate

Hunter sketch because I was bored

(i used Tem’s face as a reference)

zay is now officially half blue 🔥 (theelin)

Soo the doodle page isn’t actually done whatsoever but i found a doodle from February (the one in the bottom left corner) and debated making Zay blue so now she’s blue andd i updated the doodles i had for her before :))

closeups under cut :)

bam evolution

once again please inject this directly into my veins

Canciones Para Crosshair - Ch. 1

Summary: Crosshair would never admit to all the things he loved about his boyfriend. His patience. His stupid smile. His warm hands. His confidence. His long, soft hair. And he especially was not going to admit that Tay’s habit of serenading him like a damn Mariachi singer whenever he felt like it was something Crosshair found to be incredibly endearing and romantic. No, that was cheesy as hell. Crosshair definitely did not enjoy it one bit. Totally.   Word Count: 3k

Crosshair couldn’t be sure what he was in for when he decided to give Tay a chance and be his boyfriend, but if you told him that Tay would go about life like a damn musical, Crosshair would’ve thought twice about saying ‘yes’ to those broad shoulders and dark chocolate puppy dog eyes. 

However, Crosshair was sure he was crazy at this point because everytime the Marine would suddenly break out into song to serenade him, Crosshair felt his chest tighten and his cheeks flush, but it wasn’t from annoyance. It was far from it, actually. While there was some embarrassment Crosshair felt (mostly on Tay’s behalf), especially when people were around, Crosshair couldn’t deny that Tay’s stupid singing would have him feeling all warm and fuzzy inside. As cheesy as that was, Crosshair found that he actually enjoyed Tay’s singing, even if it caught him off guard at first. 

That’s how Crosshair knew he had it bad for the damn man because never in a million years did he think he’d be swooning over something as cliche as this. Whether it was Tay just singing along to the radio in the kitchen and bringing Crosshair into it, dedicating a song to him at the karaoke bars they’d go to with Crosshair’s brothers, or the whole shebang with instruments and candles and everything–Crosshair was head over heels for this man, but he’d be damned if Tay knew that he was. 

It all started at one of those damn karaoke bars that Wrecker’s girlfriend, Khea, was always dragging them all over to have some fun, some drinks, and sing songs well into the night. “노래방” - or so it was called - Crosshair didn’t know and frankly didn’t care. He only went for the drinks and the chance to take embarrassing recordings of his brothers (and his in-laws for that matter) and their drunken singing antics to use as blackmail one day. Rarely did he sing and the few times that he had sung was because Omega had tagged along and forced him to. 

But on that night, Omega wasn’t there. Hunter and his partner took her home once it got late and Echo and his girlfriend had gone home early as well since she had exams to deal with; leaving Crosshair to be stuck with Tay, Wrecker, Khea, Tech, and Phee. 

Only him and Tech seemed to be the ones who weren’t more than a bit buzzed, simply sticking to themselves as the others carried on with their slurred singing as the little disco ball built into the speakers strobed blues, red, and greens. 

Tech had a tambourine in his hand and was tapping it on his knee, off by two beats because he was dozing off as the alcohol took a hold of him. Crosshair had half a mind to take it away from him since the off beats were messing with him and he didn’t want Tech to slump over and lean on him, so he tried to take Tech up a little with little success. 

Unable to do much about Tech, Crosshair eventually gave up with a grumble and turned his attention back to the trio that was Phee, Wrecker, and Khea as they sang Dancing Queen with sloppy choreography while Tay cheered them on from his spot next to Crosshair. 

The man had an arm around Crosshair, which Crosshair had surprisingly didn’t shrug off, and a drink in his other hand. Crosshair didn’t know what number that was, but with how slow and how touchy Tay was at the moment, he knew Tay had more than enough. The man was already a  little dense and physically affectionate when sober, but became even more so under the influence. 

If anything–and Crosshair wasn’t going to admit to it out loud–despite a buzzed or drunk Tay not being easy to deal with, Crosshair couldn’t deny he enjoyed the touch and found how slow Tay’s brain worked to be amusing. Tay’s touch was warm and comforting, grounding him almost, and he got a few good laughs out of how slowly Tay processed everything, making it easier for Crosshair to mess with him. It was a fun experience, especially when Tay didn’t remember much about it after the fact. 

With a small hum, Crosshair leaned into Tay’s side a little as the trio wrapped up the final note of their song, barely holding it (much less in tune) before the song completely ended. Tay cheered and applauded enthusiastically as they took their bows and Crosshair clapped alongside him. Meanwhile, the noise made Tech snort and shoot up, sitting up straighter as he blinked and adjusted his glasses, looking confused before he realized the song was over and began to tap the tambourine in applause as well. 

“Alright, Tay’s turn!” Khea suddenly announced, holding the microphone out to Tay and ruining Crosshair’s chance to try and convince all of them to wrap things up and head home since it was late. 

He groaned and shook his head as Tay set his drink down to accept the microphone with wide eyes and a grin while Phee and Wrecker cheered him on. 

‘Goddammit.’ Crosshair thought with a small frown, ‘This idiot isn’t going to say no.’ 

“You going to sing with him, Cross?” Wrecker asked with a teasing grin as he and the other two moved away from the front and back into the booth to give Tay the stage. 

“Hell no,” Crosshair responded with a grumble, shaking his head as he folded his arms across his chest. “I’m not singing.” 

“Aw, c’mon…” Tay cooed with a small pout, turning to face Crosshair as he attempted to give Crosshair his infamous puppy dog eyes. Ones that Crosshair was slowly building an immunity to. Slowly. 

“No,” Crosshair reiterated, huffing as he looked away–anywhere else but those damn eyes. 

For a second, it looked like Tay was going to try and convince him or pull him up to the front, but he surprisingly didn’t. Instead he withdrew his arm from around Crosshair and stood up with a small stretch before moving to the front where the screen was to choose his song. 

Crosshair sighed in relief, slumping in his seat as Tay browsed, grateful that he wasn’t going to have to go up there and make a fool of himself. He’d gladly let Tay do that on his behalf. 

However, that relief was short-lived because Tay picked his song and turned around, facing Crosshair with that look that told Crosshair he was up to something. 

Tay exhaled into the mic, tapping it a few times before motioning over to Crosshair with a grin. 

“You won’t sing with me, so I’ll dedicate this song to you-” Tay announced with a wink, getting some very mature and definitely grown up noises of ‘oooooh!~’ from the others and a knowing smirk from his twin as they grinned at the two of them. 

Immediately Crosshair felt his cheeks heat up and his eyebrows furrow, shooting Tay a look of ‘What-are-you-doing-idiot?’ as the music started to play a song Crosshair didn't recognize but made Khea exclaim and cheer in delight. Crosshair honestly wasn’t sure what the hell was going on, but he was a bit embarrassed over the fact that Tay was supposedly dedicating the song to him. 

That was super cheesy as hell, Crosshair decided, definitely not something really romantic and sweet that made Crosshair’s heart race a little in his chest.

But before he could unpack how he felt about having whatever song dedicated to him by his buzzed boyfriend, the music started and Tay began to sing. 

“Amor, amor, te quiero tanto. Eres mi ilusión, eres mi pasión. Se al despertar, amor-”

Holy shit. 

He was singing. In Spanish.

Crosshair didn’t even know he spoke Spanish.

The Lab Part 2

Sorry for the delay! Things got busy but I managed to finally complete a few more pages.

season three was such a fever dream istg

We've all fought enough battles for one lifetime. Now we get to choose who we want to be. Like what? Whatever we want, kid. Whatever we want. STAR WARS: THE BAD BATCH (2021-2024)

Star Wars oc art 🔥🔥

genuinely so nervous posting ocs 🧍‍♀️

the facial structure for the second one definitely needs work buttttt this is Zay (Azaylea) and she’s Crosshair’s daughter

She’s exactly like her dad in the terms that she’s good at shooting and a sniper whilst also being just as stubborn too, and having a lightsaber which nobody trusts her with except herself.

Oh she also steals stuff for the rebellion with her older cousins since they’re bad influences :)

funny lil bonus under cut

me and @stars-n-spice were joking abt this but then they told me to post it for fun so here we are 🤷‍♀️

i need lights on this side of the room

and also prints of the other 5 movies that i couldn’t find when looking

and apparently a ruler because they’re WONKY?

anyway

okokok

(sorry bout the crap doodle i really cba to draw her properly out of armour)

That’s Azaylea!! (i keep calling her Zay though)

- she’s Crosshair’s daughter for ref btw

- her and her dad would DEFINITELY go watch musicals together, it’s something that they keep between themselves and swear the other to secrecy about

- she’d probably more likely go and see them with 2/3 of her older cousins though

Nav, Vir (not his official name but wtv) and Zay would sing along to musical songs in hyperspace (specifically Grease songs) and Lula would stand and watch wondering if she has an explosive that works on herself.

I APOLOGISE IN ADVANCE FOR THIS DOODLE BUT I NEEDED TO VISUALISE IT AND THOUGHT IT WAS FUNNY

ANYWAY 😭
