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
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
no cause why am i crying
A Dance Through Time
This took me about two months to finish and it's the biggest piece I've ever done. Inspiration came while I was listening to Fast Car by Tracy Chapman one day, and the vision of Hunter and Omega swaying to the rhythm together came to life before my eyes. Listening to it more brought a realization that some parts of the song fit the story of these two almost perfectly, taking them on a journey from the very first episode of the show to the day peace is restored in the galaxy - like the first verse talking about their beginnings and the second one describing the struggles of living from job to job that we see in season 2. But the core of the story - of the show, of this duo, and of these characters separately - can be brought down to these four lines:
You got a fast car
Is it fast enough so we can fly away?
We gotta make a decision
Leave tonight or live and die this way
In case Tumblr messes with the quality, you can find the separate pieces, in order, under the cut.
am i going to finish this? probably not, but here’s a screenshot redraw of my fav clone <3
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.
been getting back into drawing recently!! i’ve done a couple doodles and screenshot redraws (mostly of wrecker and echo) and tried to draw crosshair, but it definitely needs some work
opinions/tips would be great if anyone has any :))
the absolute URGE to start new writing projects is killing me because i already have unfinished things that i’ve procrastinated and idk whether to start something new or not
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.
Crosshair is back
Lightened, brightened, slowed down. Confirmed; Crosshair is back with his brothers.
@bad-batch-lurker
A theory:
I do like the theory that Tech snaps out of it himself, but how powerful it would be if Crosshair was the one who snapped him out of it!
Crosshair is the only one who can reach Tech. He knows what he’s going through, knows what it’s like to be under the Empire’s thumb. I know Crosshair was with the Empire willingly, but still.
Me, @techsbrowneyes and @sgthunter001! We’re all so excited we can’t breathe.
Gah. 30 days until season 3 of The Bad Batch premieres. That means I need to start my re-watch of seasons 1&2 NOW!!
Who else is doing 30 Days of The Bad Batch watch party?!?!
This makes me very happy!!! I’m screaming inside…
ERM CROSSHAIR AND HUNTER TOGETHER AT 15 SECONDS IN THE YOUTUBE TRAILER????? HELLO???
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!
Tech’s Alive, Part 7: Potential Visual Symbolism (cw warning for more discussions of character death)
Keep reading
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.
