Obviously there's a lot of content of Ingo remembering bits and pieces of stuff in Hisui, and usually it's happy or cathartic and a bit sad, but I think it'd be funny if Ingo remembered something he just absolutely, violently HATED. Like something happens that sparks him into remembering something he and Emmet argued about and could never agree on, or like some stupid gimmicky battle strategy he loathed like FEAR Rattata, and he just goes on a long winded rant half to himself about it
OH THIS IS REALLY GOOD ANON HAHA
I have scraps of another fic sitting around from when I had torn apart a WIP by taking segments and cramming them into I’m Glad You’re Here. But it was originally somewhere close to this concept — Ingo remembering something he REALLY doesn’t like. I could fix that up into its own thing! Because you’re right, it’s mostly always been either sad or cathartic, and when it has been something he’s not fond of, it’s more of a minor annoyance than anything. I think something that would get him ranting with how much he hates it would be really funny.
Also, this ask made me look up what FEAR rattata was, and wow lol this is incredible.
YEAH if you try and bring tactics similar to this into the Battle Subway, Ingo and Emmet WILL talk about you after work. And it would be insane enough for Ingo to pick up ranting about it again if he’d ever remember it in Hisui.

Bad Batch Headcanons — Moving Omega into her college dorm room
Because it’s that time of year again in the US, so why not.
Hunter
Look, this man got hit with the Dad genes hard when Omega came into his life. If you think he isn’t going to be the most emotional parent moving their kid into college, you’d be wrong. He hates that Omega is leaving home, but he’s also so excited about seeing her take her first steps into her adult life. Guess who is going to be taking the most pictures of Omega in her new dorm room and with her new roommates and floor mates?
He will be the first “parent” to make friends with the RA. He didn’t plan on it. It just sort of happened. Hunter became the RA’s go-to counselor whenever the dorm gets chaotic and they need advice.
Hunter is also the one most likely to teach a few self-defense classes for everyone on Omega’s floor. Safety is a big must for him. His overprotective instincts extend beyond Omega very quickly.
He’s also becomes friends with all of Omega’s floormates’ parents. They have an ongoing text message thread. (Their kids don’t know that fact. Neither do the rest of the Batch.)
Hunter will also be the one who sends the best care packages. (The entire Batch help, of course, but Hunter takes point on making sure that Omega gets care package from her brothers.)
Crosshair
He is a man of few words, but he is the first person to clock every annoying punk kid who might give Omega a hard time. Crosshair is the one who nips that in the bud before it becomes a problem. He might not be the obviously overprotective big brother, but he is still protective.
Crosshair parks it in the common room if anyone needs him. Just poke him if you need help moving stuff. (He’s probably taking a nap, so be careful.)
He’s also the one who just so happens to leave alcohol under Omega’s bed. Don’t worry. Crosshair trusts her to be relatively responsible, but he also knows what’s up in college. Just don’t tell Hunter about that.
Weirdly, he gets along with all the younger siblings who got dragged in to help their older siblings move into college. Crosshair won’t entertain them, but he’ll be the adult in the common room when they need a break. Kids love that he’s a little shit.
He won’t admit that he’ll miss Omega now that she’s in college and out of the house, but he does.
Tech
He figured out how bad the firewalls at Omega’s college were before she moved in. He found them to be laughable. He also built her a laptop with ridiculously good protection and storage space. Tech is not going to let his little sister have a computer that would be open to any number of virus due to bad college firewalls.
Tech won’t admit to hacking into the registrar’s office to make sure that Omega gets her preferred classes (and the ideal class schedule). No one can prove that he didn’t though.
He’s also made sure she’s got a perfectly serviceable college-appropriate car. The amount of safety features are clearly post-market though. Tech won’t sacrifice Omega’s safety for anything. (He also included a few fun upgrades that he definitely didn’t tell Hunter about.)
Tech established a secure chat room and Discord channel for Omega and her friends. He sometimes pops in to offer computer support.
Omega gets a customized gaming set-up courtesy of Tech. He schedules hang-out time around her schedule where they game together.
Wrecker
Wrecker basically moves everyone into Omega’s dorm. Once he gets going, there’s no stopping him. Every single dad appreciates that he’s there to do the heavy lifting.
After Hunter, he’s the second most emotional person about moving Omega into her college dorm. Wrecker can’t believe how big she’s gotten.
He leaves Lula on her bed when the Batch finally leaves campus. Omega is going to need that familiar comfort when she’s finally alone. He feels better about leaving her there with the knowledge that she has Lula with her.
Wrecker is responsible for Omega’s dorm room decor. He makes her room feel like home, complete with twinkle lights and calming colors.
He’s absolutely the one rocking all of the college swag. Wrecker raided the college store and made sure the entire Batch is geared up appropriately. (His brothers appreciate him doing that. It’s debatable if Omega does as well.)
Echo
Guess who is Mr. Snack and Supply King? Yeah, this guy. He’s the one to make sure that Omega is stocked up on everything she needs to get started at college. Hunter may be the care package dad, but Echo will always do the grocery store run.
He is also the one who finds the best deals on all her books. (Echo and Tech collaborate on that front.) Word quietly goes around the floor that Echo knows things, so he gets hit up by cash-strapped students. (He always does what he can to help.)
Wrecker stuck a college-branded baseball cap on his head shortly after they arrived to move Omega into her dorm room. Echo didn’t take it off. He’s so proud of Omega.
He also makes friends with Omega’s RA. Echo is the one who can help with dealing with stupid shenanigans that college kids get up to when left unsupervised.
Echo is also the one who gets called when Omega and her friends get into trouble during orientation weekend. He’s the one who will definitely bail them out with minimal questions asked. (That conversation will happen with Omega one-on-one later.)
Omega
She’s super excited about taking these next steps into her adult life. It’s a big move for her. That doesn’t mean that she won’t miss her brothers though.
Omega appreciates that they all moved her into her dorm room. Having their support means a lot to her.
She had scheduled calls with all of them set up before she even moved into her dorm room.
Omega has no trouble making friends in her dorm and on campus. She’s also going to be bringing friends who don’t have family nearby home on school breaks. She doesn’t want anyone to miss out on being around family, even if it’s just her weird family.
Even though she’s excited about this new stage in her life, she also gets sad when her brothers leave. She’s grateful that she has Lula. (Omega snuck a plushie from the college store into the car for Wrecker to find to replace Lula.)
+Rex
Somehow, he got roped into moving Omega into her college dorm room. He’s not sure how that happened. It just did, and here he is. So, he makes the best of the situation.
All of the moms love him.
Rex is a very handy guy. He gets all the beds lofted in a timely fashion.
Everyone thinks that he’s Omega’s dad. (He gets a kick out of it, especially since Hunter gets increasingly annoyed by that fact.)

what we do in the shadows is widely considered one of those shows that’s a comedy but the way tumblr talks about it makes it seem like a high drama or tragedy but it’s really like. a comedy with layers of deep tragedy right below the surface. the story and presentation is comedy-focused but there are so many events that are and are recognized by the narrative as being deeply tragic.
laszlo and colin robinson’s arc last season is a good example—laszlo’s close friend died and was replaced by an identical baby, whom laszlo then chose to raise as best he could and had to work through his own parental issues to do it well. then, when he felt the worst about it, when colin was a teenager and angry at the world and he hated laszlo for not being able to help him, he grew up. and he was colin robinson again, with no memories of laszlo raising him anymore, as if none of it had ever happened. of all the season 4 arcs this one was the most consistently dramatic, and laszlo ended the season devastated. and that’s only one arc
while it is true that wwdits is a comedy and people on tumblr do talk about it like it’s a tragedy, it is also the case that the tragedy is Right There. we don’t have to dig very deep to get there, and in many cases it’s a central aspect of the story. in a way this is due to its predecessor, the 2014 film, which was intentionally made to be a comedy with tragic elements, not one or the other
