One of my favorite things the Star Wars fandom does is when we want to talk about something very mundane but aren’t sure it would exist in the Star Wars universe so we just add “space” to the front of it and then boom! it’s canonical now.

Do oranges exist in Star Wars? Not a clue, but space oranges sure do.

When I say Echo is the “heart character” of The Bad Batch, let me explain because frankly I’m tired of him not being appreciated 🥺:

Echo is the only one to stick up for Gregor and to take the risk to save him. Echo is the first one to jump on board with saving Hera’s parents. He’s also the one that comforts Omega when they are going into Nala Se’s lab.

He teaches Omega how to shoot, and we see that he takes an interest in the things she does when we see him examine her clone trooper doll. He watches out for Omega and makes sure she doesn’t get into trouble.

He lets Wrecker know he was proud of him for making Omega a room — that he did good. He is also protective of those he cares about and tries to protect them when he can i.e. the zygerrian episode.

He goes around fixing the ship for the bad batch a lot it seems with very little help at times. Which I know I would be frustrated about too personally.

He doesn’t just complain for the sake of complaining. He’s pushing for decisions to be made or calling out bad behavior. He asks Hunter what they are going to do with Omega because she is a child. He tells Hunter that they should have gone with Rex because he doesn’t see longevity with Cid— which he isn’t necessarily wrong about seeing as a few episodes later someone tries to take out Cid.

Echo also wants the batch to go with Rex because he knows that Rex is helping people and all Echo really wants to do is help people and fight the Empire. But he isn’t going to leave the batch to do so.

The only time we see him pout or even get slightly upset is when they are sent to go rescue a Separatist Senator — the same group of people that tortured him and treated him like he was just an object. Like he wasn’t a person. The fact he was still able to carry out that mission at all is something to be admired despite his objections. And he then at the end of the episode we see him put it aside for the greater good.

Also keep in mind this is what Jennifer Corbett, the head writer of TBB, had to say about Echo:

I would also like to urge anyone rewatching TBB season one to watch Echo’s expressions and mannerisms. A lot of his characterization really shines through there I promise.

I think a lot of people make the mistake of writing off Echo as the “grumpy” one because often he is the first to express his displeasure with a situation but I don’t think that is a bad thing.

But also? If he is just grumpy I say let him be. Echo is fucking traumatized. He has everything taken away from him. His body, his mind, his thoughts. He had nothing. Imagine having everything taken from you and being forced to use everything you know against those you love most and not having a choice. I don’t understand this double standard people have for Echo and not liking him because he is “grumpy.” I really don’t.

Is there an Echo in here?

I read this post by the talented @space-b33 and I had to doodle some art based on their ideas right away, so here you go - Crosshair and his cat! I 100% believe he’d have a soft spot for cats - it didn’t take a lot of convincing for him to take this curious kitten back to the Marauder. Hunter can’t stand the smell and Tech won’t stop sneezing, wrecker has almost sat on her twice but he couldn’t care less. I think he’d call her Sylvia, or Sylvie!

sometimes your brain really just offers you one banger of a sentence and then that's it for the entire rest of the day. creativity expired, the ability to think has clocked out for the day, context for as to how we even get to this sentence? sorry we're all out. this one sentence is all you get.

"the concept of queerplatonic relationships originated from the asexual community" and "anyone of any orientation can be in a QPR" and "it's weird to give an overview of QPRs that mentions asexuality without mentioning their significance to so many aromantic people" and "QPRs don't need to be non-sexual" are all true statements that can easily coexist

q: if you lost all your memories and could only remember one, what would it be? “for me.. performing. i’m the happiest when i’m performing. if i were to forget my performances it would somewhat feel like i lost everything?”
