Star Wars The Bad Batch - Blog Posts

A random headcanon that has no canonical justification. Tech and Cross -twins, former Siamese. By the will of fate, they were born like this, but fortunately the merger allowed them to be separated without any problems. Since that time, everyone has a huge scar on their side, in memory of the fact that they were once literally one.

Do you know what I expected from the new series?

Dialogue in the spirit:

"Brown-eyes friend, my friend"

"Why do you call him Brown-eyes?"

"What else should I call my boyfriend?"

"Wait, what?"

Just a few hours and we'll get episode 12, which will either cheer us up by joking at the beginning, a few times in the middle and at the end, or we'll all get even more depressed and look forward to the next episodes with horror.

In the meantime, I will speak about the already released episodes. It pisses me off that we haven't seen Echo since the finale of episode 7. He didn't have much screen time last season anyway due to the fact that he left the main characters in the middle. And there is even less of it here. And it also pisses me off that another character, who has VERY little screen time in total, almost no disclosure and development, appears even less. Gods, what did the character Phee do to deserve this? She looks like some kind of one-size-fits-all character who played his role and that's it, he's just being removed, pushed into the background.

And about her relationship with the cinnamon bun, I'm completely silent. At least give her a photo of him on the control panel, which she looks at with sadness and longing.

I know that Tech would be more suitable for the role of Belle, and the Hunter is just right for the role of Rapunzel, but I still like the result. I sincerely hope that someone will stir up full-fledged art on such an idea. Here's a character for the role of Gothel with the song "Professor Mom is smarter." And given the many theories that the clone X - Tech, this frame is just perfect.

I don't know about you, but I like to imagine a blushing Tech. Just because I like to think that when he blushes, the blood rushes not only to his cheeks, but also to his ears. That is, when he turns red, the tips of his ears also turn red.

It seems to me that Phee is deliberately making him blush because she likes this picture.

Tech: *wakes up after a head injury* Where am I? This is not a Camino!

Hunter: You seem to have amnesia. Therefore, I will explain briefly: The Republic, the Jedi Order and Kamino are no more, the Empire has replaced the Republic, which is not the best option, but as if we have a choice; now we live in a Pabu, you have a wife and two children, and this little girl is our Omega sister.

Tech: Wait, am I married?

Hunter: Yes, here on it * points to Phee*.

Tech: ...

Crosshair: I also walked away from the news that you have a girlfriend for the first six months. I came to my senses only when I was asked to give a speech at the wedding. And there I didn't even notice how you had twins.

In the bar.

Some girl: Hey, cutie, do you want to spend the evening with me?

Tech: Have you forgotten how to read? *The inscription on the T-shirt "I have a girlfriend with whom I am happy"*

Girl: I don't see her.

Phee: Turn around and not only will you see her, but you will regret that you decided to ignore this inscription.

Later:

Phee: Once again, why aren't you wearing this T-shirt? * The inscription "I am a married man" *

Tech: I decided that it does not reflect our relationship to the end. If I ever get a T-shirt that says "I'm married and happy with my hot wife in this marriage, so don't dream of winning me over," I'll wear it.

Phee:...

Phee: Have I told you that I love you?

AU, in which the Tech turned out to be alive, it's just that all this time he was hiding from the Empire in some backwater.

Tech: I'm back!

Phee: *hugs and kisses him* Don't do that anymore, brown eyes!

Crosshair: WAIT, DID HE HAVE A GIRLFRIEND ALL THIS TIME?

Omega: Did I mention that?

Tomorrow there will be new 2 episodes of the Bad Batch and I want to speak out. The first half of the third season will be released tomorrow, and I have never caught a bipanica like it was in the second season. For God's sake, Filoni, I hope someone from the hot female trio will be in the new episodes.

Especially Genoa, which I still hope to uncover.

I like the evolution of their relationship. In the beginning, Crosshair somehow didn't give a damn about this hound. In the fourth episode, little has changed. It even seemed to me that he tolerated her for Omega's sake, and in the end planned to leave her (but then again, Omega knows how to convince). And now he treats her pretty well. He strokes her, scratches her, does not chase her away or drive her away from himself. I suspect he was in favor of leaving Batcher. I think they will be a good team by the final. A killer duo, considering it's supposed to be Omega's pet.

Whatever he's done, he's your brother.

Or I see details and hidden meanings where they were not originally laid.

Plus one cool detail of the third season. Cross began the application with the Hunter where he realized his mistakes, where his opinion changed to the diametrically opposite. this snow-covered planet and the vulture in my eyes are a symbol of the Cross's changes, its downward point and elevation in the eyes of the brothers.

In general, raising the topic of vultures, I became interested in their symbolism in principle. That's what I managed to find.

The vulture is usually associated with death, decay, and purification. He can often be seen circling over carrion. His preference for collecting garbage led to the emergence of symbolism associated with purification and renewal. Despite the seemingly gloomy associations, the Vulture also symbolizes resourcefulness and efficiency, as it plays a vital ecological role in cleaning up remains and processing nutrients.

Vultures have been a part of mythology and cultural beliefs in various societies. In ancient Egypt, the Vulture was a symbol of maternal care and protection, often associated with the goddess Nekhbet. In Native American traditions, the Vulture's predilection for scavengers is interpreted as a symbol of purification and renewal. In Tibetan culture, the practice of "heavenly burials" suggests that vultures eat the remains of the deceased, which means the impermanence of life and the natural cycle of life and death. The unique role of the vulture in nature has made it a powerful and complex symbol in various myths and traditions.

Sticking to the version with cleaning and updating, this is exactly what we see in the example of CT-9904. In the beginning, he was a loyal imperial dog, and after Mayday's death, he began his journey of more significant changes. His outlook on life was "renewed", and in the fifth episode he began his "purification" in the eyes of the Hunter, with whom it is basically difficult for him to establish a normal relationship from the first season.

I also tend to believe that up to this point, the sniper had dreamed of this bird several times. Before understanding, a dream about a Vulture may reflect a feeling of a situation or relationship that is in decline or in need of purification. This may symbolize the need to purge oneself of negative influences or find value in what others have abandoned. Psychologically, the Vulture may represent an aspect of the subconscious mind associated with the end, transformation, or understanding of the natural cycles of life.

Well, it also seems to me that this is the same bird that was in episode 12 of season 2. I think no one buried Mayday and his corpse was simply stolen by this bird.

That's such a creepy headcannon.

After the 501st and the 212th finish a joint mission, the commanding officers and troops begin their well deserved break. Some immediately go to bed, or get something to eat. While some get their much needed dose of caffeine.

Caffeine Crazed Cody

I adore a couple from a socially awkward amoeba with an intelligence above 200 and a strong independent woman. And the cartoon about Antlantis is one of my favorite childhood cartoons. That's why I sketched this art.

And yes, I know that the indigenous people of Antarctica have white hair, but I remembered it too late.

In a few days, I will draw some more art on this au, if you like this au.

He's shy.

I never thought that I would see this tsunderka shy.

why did they make him pose like That™️ 😭

A strange theory that takes place.

What if the mysterious dark figure is not Tech, but Cody? We haven't heard from him since the second season, we don't know what's wrong with him. Hamlock mentioned the process of reeducation and that Cross was not amenable to it.

What if Cody tried to defect, but was caught and sent to "re-education"? It is quite possible that at some point he broke down and succumbed to them.

Do not forget about the leg of that figure from episode 3. What if Commander 212 tried to escape and the missing leg is a consequence of this attempt?

If that's the case, then Hamlock really has a chance to become a sadistic scientist who enjoys the suffering of his subjects.

I can imagine the reaction of Rex and the defective to the canonization of this theory. Especially if, after re-education, the clones feel the same as in the case of chips, only stronger. They are aware of everything that is happening, but they cannot even begin to resist. If it was possible with chips, as in the case of Rex, then with this one it is no longer there.

Exactly. In other words, this scene is steeped in symbolism and small details. This... really cool.

I love the attention to detail. Two islands of light. Crosshair on one, the others on the other. They perfectly displayed the huge gap that was created in the first season by Cross. Now he needs to regain the trust of his brothers after almost a year of living apart. From now on, the arc of Crosshair's correction begins in the eyes of the rest of the squad, his rehabilitation begins now and it is not known how soon he will be able to become a full-fledged part of this family again. When they trust him again and accept him as their own.

Omega will most likely help him with this. She was generally a ray of light, a supportive sister who you want to protect. She's the only one who believed in Cross, who trusts him even after all this time. Now that her brother has stopped listening to his demons and has begun his redemption, she must help him become Clone 99 again.

I sincerely hope that his story will not end with his death, otherwise we have already lost one.

And what did you expect from the series called The Dad Batch?

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

I want more

Family reunion. We've been waiting for this since the season 2 finale. And I am completely silent about the embrace of father and daughter.

the way his hands tighten around her and his eyes are closed

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

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.

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.

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

*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.
