The absolute crime that was Jack Harkness being a total enthusiastically knowledgable technology geek being written out of his character for torchwood. You wanna write a sex icon without his most attractive quality?? Come on now. Give the man his passion back.

Vox has an actual artist on his hands. Someone who can draw and paint beautiful portraits that can help convey the message he so desperately wants to send.

...and he doesn't?

Instead, this decrepit buffon made this ridiculous thing

Complete with blood, coffee, and God knows what other type of stains.

He aired this on LIVE TELEVISION expecting a victory.

Where's the remote when you need it

decided that the reason why 2003 splinter can be so laid back at times about the adventures his sons get up to is bc he knows he's unleashed hellions upon the world

zane and kai bonded in the early seasons by discovering new music together. both didnt really have a great access to it growing up (there was an only an old radio or maybe a scratchy vinyl player in ignacia's library and zane's village had no electricity) so they mainly grew up hearing their respective villages' traditional live music. Hearing those 'end-of-2012-mashup' compilations changed both of their lives

Yeah, so while I was on my "I'm going to read into Vanny/Vanessa as much as possible" journey, I noticed an odd quirk in her animations in how she moves. At first, I thought it reminded me of a ballerina, 'cause she's kinda tip-toeing, & she has this way of keeping her head & chest in one place as she moves, but I looked again & realized --

That's not ballet! She's doing a tight-rope act. Like, look at this one:

This is like standing up on the wooden boards before you do the actual tight-rope walking, & the ring leader is hyping you up as you do some fun movement for the crowds. &, then, these:

These are all instances where she walks with one foot directly in front of the other. In that third, she's doing the "woaaah" wiggly-ass balance movements & everything, as if she's swaying up at the top of the tent, even though she's down on solid ground.

Idk, I feel like the way her feet are placed isn't accurate (pretty sure they should be pointed left & right, not both forwards...) doesn't make this 100% correct, but I like it. It also connects back with her first SB teaser, wherein she's up in the rafters.

"I had to know if I imagined things. And then I found your arrest records, you were just a kid…but the picture matched."

"Who...whose records did you find?"

Wanted to fill out a more detailed stat template and got carried away. The discord had a fun mugshot drawing prompt and it inspired me

TBB- 1 year later

I can't believe it's been a whole year since The Bad Batch concluded its final episode. I remember that day so vividly: my cousin came over, we had dinner, got late night snackies, and set our alarms for 2:55 am (EST and Star Wars don't mix folks). The anticipation was building and building and I couldn't stop thinking about whether or not Crosshair was gonna make it.

But in the end, we got a beautifully bittersweet ending for Clone Force 99, with the knowledge that all of them now have a chance to heal and rebuild their lives. It's not going to be easy, but they now have that chance.

The Bad Batch stands out for me amongst the three main animated shows because it's the one I got to see unfold from start to finish. I was young when Clone Wars first came out and I wasn't into Star Wars when Rebels started (I'm late to the party, I know). But I was there for TBB. TBB is a show whose themes and characters struck a deep chord with me. I see so much of myself in Omega and Crosshair.

Crosshair in particular will always stand out because of his journey. His redemption arc is my personal favorite in Star Wars because of how raw it is. He struggled so much and it took a combined effort from his side and then Omega to help him come home. And you know what? He did come home. He found it and I couldn't be more proud of him.That internal struggle he went through is something I really relate to (for different reasons). I love Crosshair so, so much and I am so thankful for TBB and how the team chose to write his story (even if I would've added certain things).

And the themes of family that TBB radiated is another thing that will always stick with me. Clone Force 99 are a family. They've been through many trials and have faced losses (Tech 😭), but they're still here, forged by their bond. Omega held them together when everything seemed to be falling around them.

Ultimately, TBB came at a time when I needed it the most. I started and ended a big chapter of my life with Clone Force 99. I've learned a lot about myself through them, made new friends because of them, and I know I will cherish the memories I've made watching this show. TBB might just be a show, but it still means so much to me a year later. It is 100% perfect? No, and I think all of us know the flaws. But is it something that will live on in our hearts? To that, I can say 100% yes.

Hunter, Tech, Wrecker, Crosshair, Echo, and Omega have all taught us so much and our little community wouldn't be the same without any of them. Thank you TBB, for everything ❤️

I have seen the opinion floated several times that Tech's sacrifice ultimately turned out to basically be meaningless since the mission failed, they didn't save Crosshair or find Tantiss, and Omega was captured. To each their own opinion, of course, but I STRONGLY disagree with this take.

Okay, so, (surprise surprise) I'm a HUGE fan of Tech (literally since the moment he first graced our screens, it was favorite-at-first-sight). I wanted so badly for him to have survived. I didn't want him to be CX2 at first, but then the parallels just kept cropping up, but then it turns out he wasn't. I have now accepted that he really isn't coming back, but still wish the writers had allowed for more cathartic/healing moments by purposefully honoring Tech rather than doubling/tripling down all season long on the wrenching pain of the Tech-sized hole in the family.

But I cannot share the view that Tech's sacrifice was pointless.

Tech died on a mission he had pushed for in order to have the chance to save his brother.

Tech knew the mission was risky - OF COURSE he knew - but he wanted to take the chance, he didn't want to leave Crosshair behind when it turned out that Crosshair's choice to stay with the Empire had landed him into trouble.

Tech went to fix the rail car because he couldn't let his family remain sitting ducks for the Empire to shoot down.

Tech severed the connection and sacrificed himself to give his family a fighting chance.

The mission could either end in failure to rescue Crosshair, or inevitably end in the entire family dying. Tech chose the former option.

Tech sacrificed himself so his family could live - and regardless of the trials and hardships they faced afterwards, that sacrifice WAS meaningful. (Shoutout to my girl Omega for taking an awful situation - being captured - and seizing the opportunity to fulfill Tech's final goal of saving Crosshair.)

Their life on Pabu would not have been possible without Tech's sacrifice. Crosshair's freedom and life would not have been possible without Tech's sacrifice.

So, devastatingly painful as Tech's death is, it is only because of him that his family lived. And that is more than enough to make his sacrifice meaningful.

Now if only the show could have acknowledged this a little more clearly...

Also I despise Saw Gerrera even more than I despise Cid.

What would the shorts be in your AU? I think it be a live demonstration of how someone (Mr meteor) is integrated into the hivemind and how it's "safe" and "the right thing to do"- basically propaganda. but things keep messing up

wander's not like. super public with the cult the way hater is with his empire in the show, so i don't know whether he'd be airing something like that across the galaxy. hater's got like. totally negative charisma, especially when he's being recorded, and yet he continues recording himself, and i think that's a trait meteor would still share with him. mr meteor is very much like metroman of megamind to me, also, where he quits his life of fame & glory to become a nobody, but he still has that streak of like. craving the kind of attention a rockstar gets as opposed to the superhero/king treatment.

so i imagine the shorts would be like. meteor's vlogs on his youtube or something. and he's starting a series called Inside Planet Yonder or whatever where he sets up a camera in an unassuming place and does little dances for the camera until he gets caught. like a prank show or something, but very benign and mildly annoying as opposed to antagonistic. this does require the shorts to take place before wander is redeemed, but honestly, the timeline in this au is so scrambled when you try to put it up against the show itself (which is already crammed into two very short seasons) anyway
