so, in the final scene of tbb, hunter could be seen wearing a new bandana. it looks very weaven so i'd assume it was hand made. a gift, even.

now, omega is wearing something very closely matching the color of hunter's old bandana. so, i am now a firm believer that omega made hunter's current bandana and he just stopped wearing his old one so omega inherited (stole) it. to prove a point, i am attaching a few slides below

Manifesting getting a scene in season 3 where Hunter reacts to Omega's long hair, and gives her a matching red bandana 😭

Tech as a father Chapter 81

So, as an info. I am bad at rewriting scripted things. And so it may look skipped and hurried in some places. But this is just because I cannot really bring myself to do it. Hope it still is enjoyable for all who still read!

Chapter 81: Sensitive baby

Tech kneels down beside Orion, his expression gentle yet firm as he tries to coax his son into wearing the winter coat. Orion pouts, his chubby cheeks flushed with frustration as he clutches his toy blaster tightly in his hand. "Come on, Orion," Tech says, his voice soothing as he reaches for the coat. "It's cold out there, and we need to keep you warm."

Orion shakes his head defiantly, his tiny lips forming a stubborn line as he holds onto his beloved toy. He doesn't understand the necessity of the coat, only that it's preventing him from playing with his blaster. Tech’s lips twitch, trying not to grin, as his son is looking very much like him right now. Tech sighs, feeling a pang of empathy for his son's resistance. He knows Orion doesn't like anything that restricts his movement, but the freezing temperatures on Kallar leave him with no choice.

"Orion, please," Tech urges gently, trying to pry the blaster from Orion's grasp so he can slip the coat on. "You can play with your blaster later. Right now, we need to keep you warm and safe." Orion's bottom lip trembles, his eyes brimming with unshed tears as he reluctantly releases the blaster. Tech quickly seizes the opportunity, deftly slipping the coat over Orion's arms and fastening it securely around his chest. "There we go," Tech says, his voice laced with relief as he adjusts the coat to ensure it fits snugly. "That's not so bad, is it?"

Orion sniffles, his mood still sullen as he adjusts to the feeling of the coat enveloping him. Tech offers him a reassuring smile, his heart swelling with love for his son. "You're doing great, Orion," Tech says, his voice tender as he brushes a stray lock of hair from Orion's forehead. "Now, let's get those mittens on, and we'll be ready to go."

With a bit more coaxing, Tech manages to get Orion's tiny hands into the mittens, securing them firmly to keep out the biting cold. Orion squirms and fidgets, clearly uncomfortable with the added layers, but Tech knows it's necessary to keep him safe in the harsh winter conditions. With Orion bundled up and ready to brave the cold, Tech scoops him up in his arms, holding him close as they prepare to embark on their mission to Kallar. Despite Orion's initial resistance, Tech can't help but feel a sense of pride in his son's resilience as they face the challenges of the snowy landscape together.

Tech carefully secures Orion in the carrier, his movements precise as he ensures that his son is snug and secure despite the additional layers of clothing. He adjusts the straps, making sure they're not too tight or too loose, and checks Orion's tiny armour to ensure it still fits comfortably under the winter coat. With meticulous care, Tech secures the earplugs in place, ensuring that Orion's sensitive ears are protected from the howling winds of Kallar. He double checks the seals on the armour, making sure there are no gaps where the cold air could sneak in. As he finishes the final adjustments, Tech attaches the toy blaster to his own chestplate with a sturdy string, positioning it within Orion's reach. He knows how much the toy means to his son, and he wants to ensure that Orion feels comfortable and secure even in the unfamiliar environment of Kallar.

Satisfied that everything is in order, Tech straightens up and surveys his handiwork. Orion squirms in the carrier, his curiosity piqued by the flurry of activity around him. Tech smiles down at his son, his heart swelling with pride at the sight of Orion's bright eyes and rosy cheeks. "All set, little trooper," Tech says, his voice soft but reassuring. "We're ready to face whatever challenges come our way."

With Orion nestled safely against his chest, Tech joins the rest of the squad as they prepare to depart for their mission on Kallar. Despite the freezing temperatures and treacherous terrain, Tech feels a sense of confidence knowing that he and Orion are prepared for whatever lies ahead. Together, they'll brave the elements and emerge victorious, just like they always do.

General Depa Billaba's words catch Tech's attention momentarily, and he glances up from his datapad to acknowledge her presence. Despite the exhaustion etched on his face, there's a flicker of pride in his eyes as he listens to her address.

"Thank you, General," Tech replies respectfully, his voice carrying a hint of weariness from the battle. "It's an honour to serve alongside you." He returns his focus to the datapad, his fingers flying across the keys as he sifts through the influx of information regarding the battle and its aftermath. The news of Grievous's defeat fills him with a mix of relief and apprehension, knowing that the end of the war may be within reach but also aware of the challenges that lie ahead in the aftermath. What will happen to him? His brothers? All of them scattered all over the galaxy?

As General Billaba continues to address the troops, Tech's mind races with calculations and strategic analyses, trying not to dwell on the unknown, his tactical expertise already formulating plans for the next steps in the mission. Despite the uncertainty of the future, he remains steadfast in his dedication to the Republic and its cause, ready to face whatever challenges may come their way.

As the transmission of Order 66 crackles through the systems, Tech's heart sinks, and his mind races to comprehend the sudden shift in orders. Confusion grips the squad as they exchange bewildered glances, trying to make sense of the cryptic message. And then Orion starts to scream and wail. His voice piercing his ears. Tech springs into action, his training kicking in as he instinctively moves to assess the situation and maintain order within the chaos. With Orion in his arms, he tries to shield the infant from the tension radiating around them, murmuring soothing words in an attempt to keep him calm.

"Stay calm, Orion," Tech whispers, his voice steady despite the turmoil raging within him. "Everything's going to be okay." Meanwhile, his mind races, analysing the implications of Order 66 and what it means for them. He quickly accesses his datapad, attempting to gather more information and understand the sudden shift in directives.

As the gravity of the situation begins to sink in, Tech's focus narrows to one goal: ensuring the safety of his squad and protecting Orion at all costs. With determination in his eyes, he braces himself for the challenges that lie ahead, ready to navigate the uncertain path that Order 66 has set before them.

Aaaaaaaand welcome back to wholesome Bad Batch headcanons brought to you by the recesses of my memory!

My school put on a father-daughter dance every year when I was little. It was great. My sister and I would take turns asking our dad and our grandfather to be our dates, we’d get dressed up, go out to dinner, have fun all night, etc etc. It was one of my dad‘s and my grandfather’s favorite things.

So now I’m thinking about Pabu being its wholesome self and having a father-daughter dance. Omega is at school or out with Lyana or something when she hears about it and promptly loses her mind. She goes racing home first chance she gets to ask her brothers to go to this dance with her.

Wrecker is ecstatic. He thinks this is the coolest thing. Puts it in their schedule, finds the nicest clothes he has ever owned, gets Omega to help him get ready, and absolutely has a blast.

Crosshair is, well, Crosshair—outwardly pretty nonchalant about it like “pffft, of course I’m going. Why would you think otherwise?” And on the inside he’s so touched. This is just one more thing added to the mountain of reasons why he’d kill and die for Omega.

Hunter is completely over the moon. The man is holding back tears because he just loves this kid so much and even now it’s still sometimes hard to believe that this wonderful girl wants him and his brothers in her life.

Ok wait after talking about Rex’s natural hair color yesterday it got me thinking even more about Clone diversity and genetic mutations - specifically with the Bad Batch (which again, I still have yet to watch, but I will say from what little I know about the characters I would already die for all of them). My thoughts being, what if instead of just having certain heightened skills/senses/etc, the Bad Batch also physically stands out from other Clones in appearance due to genetic mutations caused by slightly unstable genes from the early trials of cloning the Kaminoans did. Here’s my additional thoughts on that;

Hunter would have chimerism (or mosiacism), rather than tattoos (although that would be a cool addition to the condition), which is characterized by an organism possessing two or more distinct genotypes. In humans, this often occurs when twins fuse together in the womb, creating an embryo that almost looks like two or more people fused together in some cases. I personally envision Hunter having slightly lighter skin and hair on one side of his face, and several darker patches of skin and body hair on the rest of his body.

Crosshair would have albinism instead of just having extremely light hair - him having lighter colored pigmentation in general makes way more sense if he’s a true albino rather than “he just looks like that 🤷”. The increased sensitivity to light that people with albinism often have could also contribute to his keen eyesight, though would have a bit of a negative side effect as well considering light would also bother him a lot.

Wrecker would have piebaldism, which honestly I just chose for him bc I think it would look cute on him. Piebaldism is different from vitiligo, which is what I headcanon Echo having, since it is present from birth and is often more randomly placed on the body. It’s also worth noting that piebaldism occasionally occurs with deafness, which Wrecker probably has in canon (in one ear at least) due to his injury, but it would be interesting if it was something he had previously, even before being injured.

Tech was admittedly a bit harder to nail down here, but I think having him be the one and only natural ginger Clone (being a ginger is a genetic mutation, and is slightly similar to albinism in that it’s characterized by lighter skin that has less resistance to sunlight) would be interesting enough, but I also added polydactyly to my headcanon folder for him, which is when a person is born with extra fingers or toes. Tech has six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot rather than five.

I feel like the Bad Batch having these specific genetic mutations would be all the more reason for the Kaminoans to crack down so heavily on “defective” Clones, and could also be a way to highlight the true cruelty of the Kaminoans, as there are no other Clones that have the same genetic mutations as the Bad Batch, and even something as small as lighter colored hair (like I mentioned with Rex) is seen as a defect rather than just natural variation.

Also. I’ll definitely draw these designs on my art blog (@night-terrors-official) like I did for Echo before 😊

Basket Case

I don’t want to talk about it to you

I’m not an open book that you can rifle through

The cold hard truth that you’ll see right through

I’m just a basket base without you…

Crosshair, with bright colourful graffiti all over his armour: ...I feel Bonita.

Jinx: Wonderful, because you look Bonita!
