#Bittersweet Week

Bittersweet Week, The Good News/Bad News 50/50 Type Of Week

I'll start with The Bad News First. I think I first heard of My now Late Aunt's Lung Cancer Diagnosis a few days before or after Christmas. She went in and found out she had Stage 4 Lung Cancer. It was caught way too late which is why she didn't want to bother with chemo or be in hospice. I don't think she was in pain or was for long and she passed yesterday. I have no idea about funeral arrangements yet.

So Some Good News ss, I Have A Job Interview on Friday. It's With Another Doggie DayCare Company. Don't get me wrong, I Love where I currently work, but Unfortunately, My Manager Is Just Suddenly Randomly Scheduling Me On Slow Days, Cuts My Hours. It also now is interfering with some already made plans. I was Supposed To Be Off Yesterday, but She Schedules Me To Come In, I Had To Reschedule A Doctor's Appointment I Had For Yesterday, Moved it To Today. Guess What Happens? I Get Told I Don't Need To Come In. I'm Pissed, I also now don't see why I should bother to make plans or schedule appointments for supposed days off. I also want to tell her, just schedule me to only work Thursday and Friday Mornings. If she needs me to come in for the afternoon alert me at 10:00 AM. I still need to tell her, that I might be getting a new job, and that my availability is about to change.

This interview is a 3 Part Type, I'm just hoping I Get Hired. I've Been Trying Since February 2022 to work here. I put in an application around the End of November. Both Physical and Electronic Submission The HR person who does the hiring got sick. I even sent the company a message on Facebook messager expressing my interest. They took note when they placed the hiring announcement on Indeed again a Week and Half Ago, and I resubmitted my Application twice. I got the call back on Monday. Just anxious for tomorrow and that I get to pass on Part 2-3 of the interview.

Bittersweet

Hi, Mom, Dad. I wanted you to meet someone.

This is your grandson. We haven't named him yet, but we narrowed down a few choices. Winry doesn't really like my ideas, but that's okay. I know we'll pick the right one. I don't know how she can tell, but she says he looks like me. I sure hope not, because it turns out I got your giant honker of a nose.

I wish he could know you the way I did. Well, maybe not the way I knew Dad, but… you know what I mean. The next best thing is me telling him all about you, I guess. The good things first, obviously.

Dad, Granny told me how nervous you were to be a father. I laughed and told her "no shit" because… well, yeah… but I understand why now, I guess. Better, anyway.

I'm terrified. More than ever. My first round of being responsible for someone else turned out pretty fucking poorly. That's hard to beat, though, so… I guess I'm already doing okay? Yeah. Just gotta move forward from that… and I'm gonna try my damnedest to do it right this time.

Anyway… this is him. My son. You would've been great grandparents.

I miss you. Both of you.

Day 3 - wine

Look, I know it's supposed to end badly. But I need to admit that in my head, they declared a mutual "fuck this shit" to the world and society. Packed all the stuff they could one late night and escaped to a remote open plain in the middle of some thick woods where they spent the rest of their lives healing and living freely in nature.

I've been having a lot of intense feelings about them as well. The tragical elements are so baked in to their story and setting, it's hard to imagine a happy ending for them. But every now and then I find myself thinking of scenarios and AUs where they both live and grow old together. For coping purposes, I suppose.

[stars-n-spice]

no you don't understand. I need the Bad Batch to have a happy ending. I need them all to make it out alive. I need them to all be together. I need them to be a family once again. I need them all alive, happy, healthy, thriving. I need them safe and healing and growing.

I need Hunter to be able to be at peace. To become what he so clearly wanted to be at the start of the series; a father. For him to have what he fought so hard for. To know that he's more than a soldier. I need him to be able to relax knowing his brothers, that Omega is safe and will forever be safe. I need need need him to have that peace. To have that kind of life. The life he didn't think he'd get, that no clone ever thought that they would get, but yet...And I need him to grow and learn from these mistakes and be that older brother for all of them I know he can be. Seeing him want a life different than what he was essentially made for that badly for him not to get it is going to absolutely destroy me.

I want Tech to come back. I want it so bad. I know Star Wars can't keep getting away with "killing a character and bringing them back" but what's doing it one more time? Am I biased because Tech is my second favorite Batcher? Yes. But listen, I just need him to return and be reunited with his family. I need him to see Crosshair again. I need him to see and be with Phee again. Yes the build up to his death was great and the send off with his goggles was, in my opinion beautiful, but I just really want him back. I miss him so much. He means so much to so many people and I just want to see him alive and well again.

I need Echo to come back and I need him to stay. Wrecker and Tech might be my favorites, but when it really comes down to it? Echo is my comfort character. When I'm upset and really struggling, what usually brings me back is thinking about what would Echo do? What would Echo say to me to get me through this? Echo means so so much to me and it hurts so much to see him reduced to a background character. It makes me think what even was the point of bring him back just to reduce him to what he is now? And I'm so so scared they're going to kill him off for shock value or to "explain" why he isn't with Rex in Rebels, but that's just so fucking stupid to me after having done nothing with his character since like the middle of season 2 of the Bad Batch. Bring him back, please. And let him be at peace for once too!! Goddammit, all this shit he's had to go through; getting fucking exploded, being a prisoner of war, losing Fives, losing his brothers because his chip malfunctioned, having to see what becomes of clones after everything they sacrificed for the galaxy-Like you already "killed". him off once, there's no need to do it again. Just bring him back and reunite him with the others, please.

I need Wrecker to get to have his family all together. On top of that, I need him to get the recognition he deserves for all that he does and has done. Omega might be the heart and soul of the team but Wrecker's the glue and arguably just as much as the heart and soul too. He's the protector, I'm sure he feels it's his responsibility to keep them together, to keep them safe. I want him to continue living his life knowing that he succeeded in doing so and now doesn't have to worry about something like that because they are safe. They're all together again and they're happy and they're safe. He can relax and enjoy what they used to have before it all went to shit. It's so obvious that he cares so much about his brothers and Omega in his own unique ways. Each of the members of the Batch have their own unique dynamics within each other, but it really seems like Wrecker is the one who has one with each of them. And yeah, he's my favorite so I'm going to be biased and I want him to make it out alive and I want him to be happy goddammit.

I need Crosshair to stay the fuck alive. I need him to continue to heal and grow and be back with his family again. I need him to be reassured and to feel safe and loved again. I cannot take another instance of a character who used to be so lost and broken finally getting healing and some peace only to sacrifice themselves again. To have someone go through so much only start to heal and then rip that away from them? I need him to be at peace. I need him to enjoy all that he's missed out on. I need to see him okay and content and healing and living. I don't think I can deal with seeing all of that being ripped away from him. Please just let the man be at peace for once in his fucking life. I am begging. You don't understand, he's healing; mentally, physically, he's getting better and to just,, take all of that away? Can't just ONE character please get a happy ending?? Like if any one of them deserve to see it through the end, it's him.

I need Omega to get the childhood she was cheated out of. I don't know how many times I've sat and thought about Omega only for me to burst out into tears. She's been isolated for nearly all of her life. At the most, she was free for two years out of her FOURTEEN years of existence. She went through ALL of that before the age Ashoka and Padmé were when they were just STARTING to go through the horrors. Yet she's remained so brave and so strong and so determined. She's endured and survived and I want her to thrive. I want her to have all her brothers together once again. I want her to grow up alongside them. I want her to be able to be a child for once. To experience life through those lenses. I don't want her to have to endure another loss.

I need to see this group of individuals who never really fit in have their place in the galaxy. I need to see them, all created with clear intents and purposes to fight in a war as cannon fodder find new purposes. I need to see these burnt-out kids catch a damn break for once. This family of neurodivergents who spent their entire lives either isolated or distant from everyone else because they were "different" and "special" get that well-deserved ending where they're all safe and happy and have a purpose and a place in the galaxy because fucking hell. I wanna know there's hope for me too.

just AAGUUHHH. I've never wanted a happy ending for anyone more than I want it for the Bad Batch.

Wolchefant Week - Day 2 AU

We all know that one AU - the one where the Exarch accidentally plucks Haurchefant's spirit out of the rift and lands him in the First. It's hardly original, but it definitely makes me feel Some Kind of Way™ :')
