Hello hello!! Welcome to my inner Star Wars musings :) SFW (side)blog with the occasional swear word, 20something fanfic author.

Whenever they know an explosion is about to go off, someone yells “Earmuffs!” and the person closest to Omega will grab her and get their hands over her ears before the explosion goes off. This is to give her as much ear protection as possible and to mitigate whatever potential hearing loss she might acquire because she doesn’t have the same protection their helmets give them.
Wrecker doing Explosion!Earmuffs is hysterical because his hands are just so comically large in comparison to Omega’s head.
Echo usually winds up wrapping his left arm around her head and pulling her into him to do a modified Explosion!Earmuffs.
Hunter will also use his whole body to protect Omega while he’s doing Explosion!Earmuffs. (Protective Dad is going to protective.)
Tech is a bit more of a spider monkey and gets Omega wrapped up safely with his arms as he’s doing Explosion!Earmuffs.
Crosshair, when he rejoins, is more straightforward. He just gets his hands over her ears when he realizes what “Earmuffs!” means.
And sometimes, it gets extra funny when the situation is super chaotic.
Something is about to blow up. Everyone yells, “Earmuffs!” at once and dives for Omega. Once the explosion goes off and the dust settles, Omega is in the middle of a pile of her brothers with their hands layering over her ears. When asked if she’s okay, she just smiles sweetly and goes, “I’m fine.”
“Men like me don’t start the wars. We just die in them. We’ve always died in them, and we always will. We don’t expect any praise for it, no parades. No one knows our names. In fact, by your standards we have no names at all. We don’t have names. And no one will ever know who we are. But we do. We always do. We’re the Grand Army of the Republic.” The Cestus Deception by Steven Barnes.
I was saying this the other day!! I think the writing's fantastic, but the pacing makes it feel poorly put together (which is sad, bc it's not!!).
Bring back my 22 episode seasons, and let me have a slower pace 😭

(Fast forward to now)
Episodes left: 1
Major plot points resolved: 0
Unless they’re not going to wrap up every plot point (which you kind of have to at the end of a freaking series), the finale is going to be far too rushed. They’ve been building up to so much all season and now they’re going to speedrun through everything at once? That’s bad writing, imo.
And before any of you say anything, I do not think The Bad Batch wasn’t written badly at all. It’s a freaking masterpiece. But I hate when there’s a slow build to a climax and then everything gets resolved immediately after.
Chapter 17: Leave My Door Open Just A Crack (Please Take Me Away From Here)
Fox has finally put Fives in prison for breaking his restraining order. In true Fives fashion, he sees it as a time to party and enter his mysterious 'Love Languages Era.'
Meanwhile, Echo is enjoying a well deserved and relaxing picnic with the Bad Batch. However, he is interrupted by a distress signal (AKA Fives is going through rizz withdrawals and wants out).
Enjoy some happy Bad Batch vibes before the terror week that is next Wednesday <3
