#the life and times of muchy

[muchymozzarella]

Very few people understand the unmatched euphoria of having an amazing artist do ENTIRE COMICS of your fanfic unprompted

And that happened to me in 2023. In the same year I finished a long fic for the first time in almost 2 decades of writing fanfic.

One was a comic based on my long fic Gato, where older Miles and Miguel get together

And the other is based on a Gato future/past time travel fic called Bienvenido Arañito, a pure fluff fic where younger Miles meets post happy ending Miguel and finds out he's married to his future self

Art by PIYO @OZ_174 on Twitter! I'll be forever grateful that an amazing artist like PIYO-nim got so inspired by my fics.

OT 13 : drunk or high sex — nsfw

Seungcheol : drunk sex. oh. he gets rough, but like, a good kinda rough. lowkey, gets possessive and loves marking you. make sure you check your neck before you go into work the next morning cause he will leave hickeys !!! likes making sure everyone knows who you belong to and will admit to it, he has no shame.

Jeonghan : high sex. you’re telling me you wouldn’t want to make out with this man when he’s on cloud nine ? i mean, he already has “fuck me” eyes like come on. A TEASE. will tell you to wait when you start to whine cause he’s taking his sweet time. TONGUE DOES WONDERS. your eyes will never not be rolled into the back of your head. lowkey likes it when you pull his hair.

Joshua : neither, but not opposed to trying it out. prefers to be completely present and in the moment. will try it out a few times, kind of has the “if it happens, it happens” mindset. will never say no to you though. if anything it happens more when y’all are tipsy than when y’all are drunk.

Junhui : high sex. will probably make a weird joke mid-fuck and have you being like ????? wtf. but it’s okay cause it’s jun and he’ll have you seeing stars regardless. might have to take a break and switch positions cause weed makes him sleepy.

Hoshi : hear me out, high. thought he was too giggly and accident prone when drunk and didn’t wanna kill the vibe. A MUNCH !!!! like you know how people get the muchies when they’re high ? yeah, hoshi just goes down on you whenever he gets them. would be on a mission to make you squirt.

Wonwoo : high sex. honestly, you wouldn’t even be able to tell he’s high, his composure is insane. lazy sex, but he’ll still do all the work because there’s no way he’s gonna let his princess do any. tbh, really really good at rolling and will hold it up to your lips making direct eye contact while you take a hit.

Woozi : neither. man barely even drinks, what makes you think he lights up ? doesn’t need to be under the influence of anything to get you off and he can prove it to you too.

Dokyeom : drunk sex. giggly !!! all sunshine and smiles. will probably make dirty jokes just for fun, but it’s okay cause at least he makes you feel good. he’ll def pamper you with a bunch of kisses before, after, and during the act. king of aftercare when drunk, even if he knocks over everything in his way by accident but y’all can just deal with that in the morning.

Mingyu : BOTH. would not be opposed to getting cross faded. will take a hit and blow it straight into your mouth to initiate a makeout sesh. passionate and rough about everything !! will most likely end up fucking on every surface, from the couch to the kitchen counter — i would make sure you wipe that off if I were you. after, will either make you food or do a late night convenience store run with you.

Minghao : high sex. slow, sensual, and passionate. honestly might last hours just cause you two get carried away. y’all spend like an hour alone just making out until your lips are all puffy and red. not a talker when high, but he does like to make a lot of eye contact.

Seungkwan : drunk sex. tried it while high once and felt like he wasn’t productive enough ???? for some reason he’s always go, go, go. feels like he can do a lot more and please you better when drunk. a cutie pie, always making sure you’re alright at all times. will probably make you get off on his thigh and you’re not opposed cause have you seen his quads ?????

Vernon : HIGH FOR SURE. man is definitely a stoner in another life. chill. so chill, that you would have to initiate something and he’ll just go along with whatever makes you happy. might whine, but if you hear it, pretend you didn’t. also, has worn his red tinted glasses a few times during the deed for some reason ???? (ifykyk)

Dino : drunk. honestly probably got drunk cause he was trying to calm his nerves. would want to initiate it, but in the end he probably took so long that you did. his biggest fantasies come out when drunk and would either ask to try titty fucking or you’d end up sixty-nining.

komar w pokoju w listopadzie.....zmiany klimatu tak wiem gdzie mam klapkę nie wiem

[sullyfortress]

Imagine Lo’aks daughter being the exact same as him and Jake, always finding ways of putting herself in danger. Lo’ak nearly pulling his hair out in worry and stress while Jake is laughing his ass off at how the tables have turned. 🤣

Ok so just some general headcannons

Pey Pey + Ziri relationships to the other Sullys:

Jake:

He loves that Ziri has a rebellious streak and Lo'ak is experiencing the same terror that Jake did raising him. Ziri reminds Jake of Neytiri alot. Jake also as we know is a girl dad and has a soft spot for his granddaughter which does not help in her discipline(Yes he calls her babygirl). He and Neytiri often get in trouble covering for her or teaching her hunting skills that Lo'ak thinks she's too young for. Also he and Tonowari definitely get competitive trying to proove who's the best granddad.

Pey Pey is Jake's little man. He is a silent shadow of Toruk Makto. It's not uncommon to see Jake walking about given instructions and orders to his warriors fighting RDA with Pey Pey on his hip.

Pey Pey loves to mimic his granddad and definatly got the need to please Jake gene from Lo'ak. Like many in the family, Jake is very protective of Pey Pey, as he does remind him of Neteyam. This leads to frustration from young Pey Pey as he is coddled more than his sister.

Neytiri:

Badass grandma to the max. She often will buck against Lo'ak an Tsireya and join sides with Ziri. Especially when Ziri wants to take a warrior route while Tsireya wants her to take more of a pacifist path. Neytiri helps Ziri connect to her Omaticaya culture.

Ziri also really wants her own Ikran like grandma so Neytiri insists upon taking her on a field trip to Ayram alusìng(Floating Mountains) to get her own Ikran. To which Lo'ak says no because they are Metkayina she doesn't need an ikran and Neytiri raises hell going on and on about how she won't deny her granddaughter her culture!!!

Neytiri has a special love for Pey Pey as his sweet disposition reminds her of Neteyam. She spends time teaching him to braid and bead jewelry just as she taught Neteyam.

Also her and Ronal also compete over being the best grandmother.

Kiri:

Kiri has a closer relationship to Pey Pey than Ziri. Pey Pey's calm and inquisitive nature means he himself is more curious about Eywa and the life on pandora. Also with him being deaf, connecting with ilu's and other creatures gives him access to senses that he's never had before.

Kiri has become a mentor of sorts to Pey Pey and teaches him much of what Mo'at taught her about medicine and spiritual intuition.

Tuk:

While wild in her youth, Tuk actually becomes the responsible battle aunt. Tuk grew up to be a powerful warrior in the Metkayina clan. She loves to play from time to time, but growing up as a child in war did leave Tuk to be a little more precarious. Like many in the family, Pey Pey and Ziri remind her of Neteyam and Lo'ak. Which means she cares very deeply and very muchy hovers over her niece and nephew. But she also knows that fun and play are important distractions from war.

Spider:

He's the crazy uncle who encourages Ziri's rebellious nature. He also has a soft spot for little Pey Pey and makes sure to include him whenever he can. Pey Pey likes uncle Spider as he is coddled less with him.

Ziri calls Spider 'baby uncle' due to his small human size.

*Neteyam* Spirit: (Same relationships if he was alive)

When they are old enough to connect to the spirit tree, the kids meet their uncle.

Ziri loves to hear stories from her uncle about the Omaticaya forest and about her family when her father was a child.

Pey Pey, can speak through Eywa and therefore has a voice that only Uncle Neteyam can hear. He often shares insecurities and frustrations that he is unable to vocalize with the rest of the family. Neteyam and Pey Pey understand one another best in the Sully family as both are reserved and often put the needs of others before their own, and had a desire to please their fathers but always feeling out of reach of approval.

Pey Pey also feels insecure about not wanting to be 'a warrior'. He very much connects more with the role of a healer and worries he will disappoint Jake and Lo'ak.

Neteyam comforts and relates to him as he was forced into the perfect son role, but isn't sure that was really what brought him joy. (in my canon, Neteyam actually loved beading and jewelry making and had a lot of anxiety connected to the perfect warrior role).

oh!! Techno as a retired player!! THE BLOOD GOD, nobody could get crowds hooting and hollering and climbing all over each other like him!! and now that he's retired he's like some kind of, benign urban legend.

His Twitter has one post in it, made when he was still playing, that says, "I was told to make a Twitter by management, so here it is."

He's so evasive about his current job that everybody in baseball assumes it must be some kind of CIA-spy stuff but really he teaches Literature and World History at a local high school and none of his students tell the press because they either don't watch baseball or think it's hilarious.

He slid into the dugout and asked Dream for an autograph once and Dream almost passed out standing up, and then laughed until he wheezed when Techno said, "yeah i totally want your autograph, of course -- like, you know *sapnap.*"

He's an urban legend in the sense that he has lifetime season passes to the home stadium of the Muchy team and his own private box but he would much rather be in the dugout silently watching the players and giving them the occasional comment to change their batting stance a little bit. He can't help but be drawn to the field.

He's got a golden eye for talent and rather than treating dream like a celebrity, he treats him like an /apprentice/ and gives him tips but makes him work for it! Think "karate kid".

Dream is the "newest" talent in terms of him joining baseball "later in life" than most on the team so techno is drawn to mentoring him specifically because his potential is already INSANE.

I do like the twitter thing that is very fun

Considering he's a hall of fame player he certainly doesn't need to ever work again but I think he would probably be a massive donor to little leagues and maybe spend some time visiting local school teams to get those kids excited to play in college!

[cinamun]

Cin!! I live in Europe and have no idea what lemon pepper wings taste like 😫 But it sounds soooo delicious, every time I step into the RRR I get the muchies!! Pls do share a recipe for the wings if you've got one lying around, help a sister out!! 🙏🏽

Post Muchimido Ending Au headcanons pt. 5

(Repost without the mature label)

-One day, Midori and Muchisute chatted about the other freaks and what they think they could be up to these days. Muchisute said Kanabun probably became a male stripper to support himself.

-Hoichi and the human worm were brought up, and Midori asked about their whereabouts and if they left with Akaza and Benietsu, to which Muchisute responded that he didn't see them leave the circus with them. The realization hits them that Hoichi and the human worm were just left to die there and they were just like 😐

-Stockholm syndrome Middy loves cooking Muchi his favorite food. When she tells him that he's just like "hm." bc he's never received this type of special treatment in his life.

-She also loves to run up to him to give him kisses when they're done eating, only for him to be weirded out.

-She also likes to run up to him to give him hugs. Depending on his mood, he either pushes her away or lets her hold on.

-One time, she booped his nose and he kicked her in the chest in return.

-She forgives him every time be poor girl thinks he really loves her:(

-Showering her with kisses after she lets him do her in, the stuff he says to her is even better /s; "You've been such a good girl, Midori.", “Such a good little girl", "You're mine"

-Muchisute has made her walk around topless or bottomless a few times.

-Ok but Post Stockholm syndrome Middy does about anything to try and sexually satisfy Muchisute. In bed, she'll press her coochie against his leg, lick his nips, grab the sides of his waist, she also tries to give him hickies herself and she leaves the smallest bite marks ever. (SHE’S AGED UP HERE)

-Muchisute barely feels anything when she bites him, like, it actually tickles him lol. He laughs and tells her she’s so pathetic.

-Around Christmas time, Midori asks Muchisute what they’re going to do and he’s like, “um, we don’t have that kind of money.”. Midori goes 🙁. So for Christmas, Midori just purchases sweets for both herself and him, “I got dango and taiyaki ^_^”. Muchi doesn’t really care for sweets but eats a few anyways cuz why not, it’s food.

-Muchisute kinda finds Post-SS Midori annoying so he’s physically abusive to her every now and then to put her in her place.

Send in more muchimido scenarios pls

Merry [Late] Christmas btw!❄️☃️🎄

Character Intro: Project Gemini

Caspian Álvarez

Age: 23

Pronouns: He/Him

Status: Water Deviant

Rank: Private

Occupation: Nursing student

In book description:

As he passed by the mirror, he caught a glimpse of his reflection. When was the last time he properly looked at himself in the mirror? He leaned his hands on the countertop and just stared, lightly tracing his face. Underneath the harsh, bluish-white tones of the cheap, artificial lighting, his usual dirt-colored irises were now beady with any kind of life snuffed out of them. The lack of sunlight paled his warm cocoa skin. His cheeks were flatter, and his jawline was more pronounced. The scrubs he swore that used to fit him nicely before now hung looser, enough to hook a finger underneath the hems. He looked different. He was unfamiliar to the man that was staring back at him.

Family: In book 1, just Athena, his twin sister

Pets: Iris makes him a small robotic bird [that I haven’t named yet] with a bubbly personality with the ability to record and playback audio

Best friend: Isaac [Last Name]

Room description:

In his apartment I don’t think there’s anything to describe. He’s too busy working to decorate. At the rebel base he sleeps in a dormitory with other rebels but he has a chest to keep personal affects in.

Way of speaking: His voice is like medium in pitch. You can hear how muchy he cares in his voice. But still has a nervous anxiety to it as well.

Physical characteristics: Usually tense, ready to spring into action at a moment’s notice due to both military and ER training, usually has dark circles under his eyes but his expression is usually warm and inviting.

Items on hand: Before joining the rebels, mostly just his tablet. He doesn’t need keys or a wallet because of the chip implanted in his arm. After he carries a gun but never uses it, and some basic emergency supplies like a flashlight, some matches and a water bottle and a first aid kit

Hobbies: Not sure he really has any. Working in the medical field is his passion and he’s spent nearly every minute since getting out of basic doing exactly that

Relatioships: Overall he gets along fine with most people. He struggles at first coming to the rebel base but eventually grows close with them. I don’t really want to give away specific relationship dynamics other than that Caspian and Adrian are supposed to be a versdion of enemies to lovers. Oh and that at the time the book starts, Caspian hasn’t seen Athena is like, 5 years. Caspian initially harbors some resentment towardes her for abandoning him after their parents went missing.

Fears: Bro has crippling abandonment issues. Also, snakes.

Faults: Caspian is unbelievably selfless. He has always put taking care of others before himself

Good points: He is kind and patient, even with Adrian

What they want more than anything: To be a doctor

do you have any capitano comfort fic recommendations…. for Reasons….. in return i open my hands to let you talk about maleko… looks at you w my autistic eyes,,, pretty please wit da spinkle,,,,,,,

— blue :3 (hiii hello hi i’ve had. events in my life. el oh el)

I don't really have that many recommendations for other people's fics im sorry (sob)

ohh though a creator i really do enjoy is fatuismooches here on tumblr (i shant tag because im SHY!!! <3), they have really lovely fatui content in general but. capitano yaaay <3

here's a link to my capitano x reader tag ! It's mostly my own content but there's some others in there, a Lot of it is comfort content because i love him so muchies <3

i dont really read as much fic as i want to and also im so so so particular about how folks characterise Capitano specifically (and the rampant untagged female reader epidemic in the genshin fandom especially (or even writers just straight up lying by saying something is a gender neutral reader and its so obviously female) makes me hesitant to really even try, so i mostly just stick to my own stuff)

hopefully this may be enough to scratch the itch and fulfill the Reasons ehehe...

anyways takes your hands in mine ... maleko is basically capitano genshin but what ive built and extrapolated between the time his design was revealed and now -- i sort of passively decided like a year and a half ago now that he's sort of my Own Little Guy because i dont trust MHY to treat him right . it now also means i can put him wherever i like (there's a rowavolo au that includes him) . he still usually gets called capitano though because . cappy <3

[naoreco]

4, 8, and 30 for the echoes game, if you want :D

WHY YES BEANS I DO WANT. THANK YOU SO MUCHIES.

4. Which act of the game is your favorite, gameplay or story-wise?

act 4 absolutely. act 4 is when the tension really rises as both kids invade rigel. where celica has been crowned and now has to make some tough calls for the sake of her country and those she cares about. where for alm it’s all fun games and glory until his heritage stabs him through the gut like that royal sword went through his papa. the gameplay isn’t the best but IDGAF IT’S THE BEST PART OF THE STORY!!!!!!!!

8. A scene or character moment you really liked?

you can kind of assume the And What Of My Peace moment is my favorite given i had a whole analysis on it but that’s too easy. i need to talk about something else. so here’s one i just started thinking about: the scene where alm and celica reunite is adorable even if it goes to shit later 😭😭 like the cutscene. you see celica hopping in anticipation before she runs up the stairs. she almost trips over herself. she’s already tearing up. alm turns to face her and she just LAUNCHES herself at him. giggling the whole time. she’s so GOOFY !!! SHES A GOOFY LITTLE TEENAGE GIRL WITH A GOOFY LITTLE TEENAGE CRUSH!!!!! ITS SCENES LIKE THIS WHERE SHE LETS HERSELF SHOW IT THAT MAKE ME GO NUCLEAR SHES MY FUCKING DAUGHTERRRRRRRRR

30. What’s your favorite non-canon pair and why?

here’s my confession that i actually don’t care too much for shipping outside the canon pairs… with ONE exception. silque and faye are kind of special to me. i really enjoyed their support chain even with faye being like alm this alm that because I DIDN’T EXPECT SILQUE TO BE SO INTO GIRLS TALK AND GOSSIP!!! and seeing her persist in trying to be faye’s friend ONLY FOR FAYE TO TURN AROUND AND ADMIT THAT SHE MISSES HER COMPANY ONCE SILQUE BACKS OFF… IT’S ADORABLEEEEE!!!!! if faye gets over her unrequited crush on alm and lives a cozy life with her church girl wife i will be happy forever. i love lesbians

[muchymozzarella]

I've talked before about how I adore writing and enjoying WLW relationships from non mainstream titles because most of the WLW relationships and mainstream titles are boring to me

But damn if I'm not hardcore shipping Gwen and Alice in tmagp

What do you mean they're aggressively antagonistic but the moment one is genuinely distressed the other one asks after her well-being

[archetypesanalysis]

Wrecker's Anima

This is the second part of the character analysis for Wrecker. You can read the first part here. I will be referring to “Goddesses in Everywoman” by Jean Shinoda Bolen for this analysis.

Wrecker’s anima is Aphrodite, or Venus as the Romans called her, and she is the Goddess of Love and Beauty. Her influence is so great that she has many relationships with other gods and mortals, and she makes many mortals fall in love. The Aphrodite archetype helps a person to enjoy love, sensual and sensory experiences, to appreciate beauty, and to be creative. Wrecker has shown to have this archetype multiple times. When Rex, Jesse and Kix first meet the Bad Batch, Wrecker is the first teammate to take off his helmet and create an engaging and charming impression of the team (an active Aphrodite trait). This helps to make them less intimidating to the regular clones since Rex has heard about their 100% success rate and their aggressive and unorthodox ways of completing their missions. Wrecker acts as Aphrodite the Lover when he wants Tech to get with Phee, and he teases Tech that he has competition upon seeing the closeness Phee and Shep shared (an attempt to incite jealousy on Tech so he will make a move on her).

Wrecker is shown to be a sensual person, especially in “Reunion” when he caresses and kisses a proton torpedo. His sensuality enables him to enjoy the pleasure and beauty this life has to offer. In “Battle Scars”, he creates a tradition to have Mantell Mix with Omega after a mission, teaching her to let loose and enjoy life amidst all the danger and chaos. In “Pabu”, he is so satisfied by the local food that he gladly expresses that he has never been full and he enjoys this place. In “Rampage”, after the rancor Muchi drops from exhaustion, Wrecker pats her to sleep, showing his gentleness towards living beings. In “Entombed”, he encourages Omega to find anything that catches her eye in a junkyard, which shows that he has the ability to see beauty even in the things that are perceived as garbage. This is evident in how he appreciates Gonky the defective Gonk droid and he even gently places Gonky down in “A Distant Echo” (I headcanon that Wrecker is the one who takes Gonky in and Hunter allows it). This does explain why he supports Omega’s desire to go for a treasure hunt with Phee because as the “liberator of ancient wonders”, Phee can appreciate the cultural value of the ancient artefacts she collects (instead of monetary value), which is an Aphrodite trait as her values are subjective in nature.

Jean Shinoda Bolen describes Aphrodite to have a unique quality of consciousness, in which she calls it “Aphrodite consciousness”. The Aphrodite consciousness is more focused and intense than diffuse awareness, yet more receptive and attentive than focused consciousness (these are explained in my character analysis for Omega). It is like a limelight that effortlessly draws our attention on what is being illuminated on the stage. Whatever or whoever is under the limelight becomes fascinating, and we are moved, energized or inspired by what we see. A person who has an Aphrodite consciousness can draw people out and attend them in a loving and affirming way, making them feel attractive and interesting. This consciousness also serves as a natural method of relating and gathering information for people who like to be surrounded by other people and focus their total attention on themselves intently.

Wrecker uses his Aphrodite consciousness when he is annoying Crosshair by playing around with the head of a battle droid in “The Bad Batch” and shoving him with his tooka toy Lula in “Aftermath”. In Greek mythology, Aphrodite gravitates towards people who are creative, complex, moody or emotional. For Wrecker, that person is Crosshair because he is an emotionally intense person. Unlike Wrecker who can move from one emotion to another swiftly, Crosshair stays in one emotion intensely and it takes time for that emotion to subside. Wrecker is aware of this and he knows that it is not exactly healthy for Crosshair, for example, Crosshair will stay aggressive even after the battle is over, and he may make others feel uncomfortable with his aggression even when it is not directed towards them. To attend to his emotional needs, Wrecker annoys Crosshair, shifting his focus towards him which helps his emotions to subside faster. He attends to Crosshair in a loving and affirming way as he does not get hurt when Crosshair responses angrily or rudely towards him because he knows that Crosshair never means it and his responses are just a drawback of his emotional intensity. Besides, as long as Wrecker can distract Crosshair, he considers it as mission accomplished. Since they always have each other’s backs in the Clone Wars, I am certain that Crosshair does appreciate Wrecker’s efforts to care for his emotional needs.

Wrecker’s way of distracting Crosshair reminds me of the myth of Atalanta. Atalanta is an Artemis woman (the Goddess of the Hunt and the Moon) as she is a heroine whose courage and capabilities as a hunter and a runner are equal to any man’s. After taking over her father’s throne, many suitors come to win her hand despite she keeps telling them that she is not interested in finding a husband. So, she sets up a footrace, saying that she will marry the man who can beat her at it, but she will murder anyone who loses the race. Race after race, Atalanta is always in the lead. Until, one day, the unathletic Hippomenes who truly loves her enters the race. He prays to Aphrodite for help at the night before the race, and she gives him three golden apples to use in the race. During the race, Hippomenes throws the three golden apples in Atalanta’s path three times, which manages to distract her long enough for him to cross the finish line first and take her as his wife. In Greek mythology, Artemis and Aphrodite are the opposites, and this is shown in the myth where Aphrodite makes Phaedra falls hopelessly in love with her stepson Hippolytus because Aphrodite is displeased that Hippolytus has dedicated himself to Artemis and to a life of celibacy, and he refuses to honour her. Taking the myths as archetypal forces, Wrecker and Crosshair are the opposites, and Wrecker acts as a transformative agent to Crosshair by helping his Artemis anima to loosen up.

People who identify as Aphrodite are usually emotionally intelligent, and Wrecker is one of those people. He usually can manage his emotions well, like knowing when it is appropriate to be aggressive. He can understand other people’s emotions well, just as he does with Crosshair as stated above. He can accept criticism, responsibility and feedback, like in “Replacements”, he accepts Hunter’s criticism of him not considering Omega’s needs and puts an effort to improve himself. He knows why he does certain things and can make adjustments to his behaviour. For example, in “A Distant Echo”, Wrecker knows that he is afraid of heights and says that he needs to fight some droids to distract himself from his phobia. In the same episode, he is shown to have a strong sense of self-awareness when he explains that he can get excited in battle, which foils the stealth mission, and he learns not to repeat the same mistake.

True to Aphrodite nature, Wrecker likes children, and children are charmed by him. He can draw out a child’s feelings and abilities in a way that the child feels special and accepted, which gives the child confidence to develop their talents and individuality. He can get into the spirit of play and make-believe easily, can charm children to behave well, and can inspire them with his infectious enthusiasm. These qualities make him a wonderful parental figure.

The Aphrodite archetype is associated with creativity as all creative works come from an intense and passionate involvement, and it is an “in-the-moment” sensory experience. Multiple interactions ranging from senses, spontaneity and skills are combined to create something that never existed before. Wrecker has shown to have immense creativity throughout the series. In “Replacements”, he turns the ship’s gunport into a room for Omega so the Marauder feels more like a home for her. In “Ruins of War”, he and Hunter find some broken-down Separatist tanks. Hunter thinks the tanks are useless but Wrecker thinks otherwise as he already has an awareness of the complete creation in his consciousness. His Aphrodite anima gets activated when he becomes absorbed and involved in what he creates, which prompts Hunter to provide firing cover for him. Wrecker’s spontaneity, combining with his skills and knowledge on heavy weapons and artillery, leads to the creation of a portable cannon, which gives them an advantage over the Imperials.

In Greek mythology, Ares and Aphrodite are long-term lovers, and this pairing serves as the archetype combination for Wrecker. Both Ares and Aphrodite are temperamental, intense and sensual. They are reactive rather than reflective, they live in the here and now moment and they act without thinking of the consequences. This archetype combination is full of fireworks, which explains why Wrecker likes to blow things up. However, when there is a perfect balance between love and war, it can produce harmony, just like Ares and Aphrodite have a daughter named Harmonia (Harmony) in the myths. Since Wrecker has both a positive Ares and a positive Aphrodite, he is in harmony with himself as his innate archetype and his anima share mutual tolerance and acceptance.

The Aphrodite archetype does have some limitations. People who identify with this archetype view life as nothing more than a sensory experience, and they may respond as if there are no future consequences to their actions or no current loyalties that may conflict. As stated in the first part of this analysis, Wrecker is an impulsive spender as seen in “Battle Scars”, which is not just a problem for Ares, but also for Aphrodite. Experience becomes the best teacher for him as he must learn to be more reflective of his actions and to control his impulses and emotions.

Wrecker’s Aphrodite anima has been modified by his life experiences. His military training has resulted in the development of Artemis and Athena, and they help him to focus on what is important. For example, in “Entombed”, he is able to focus on his task of finding a compressor for Tech despite being surrounded by many items in the junkyard that may catch his eye. Moreover, Omega’s presence helps to give rise to the Demeter anima in him, which ensures him to be consistent in showing his love for her. It is possible that his Hera anima exists at least in latent form as he is loyal to his teammates (and no amount of explosives is going to convince him to betray them and join the Empire).

The Aphrodite consciousness is present when there is a good interaction between two people or between the person and the work, where change and transformation can happen. This transformative influence is so powerful that it can deeply move both parties in a conversation or lead to a new creation like a new song, a new dance move, a new theory or a new life. It makes a conversation more meaningful regardless of the content, and it makes work more invigorating rather than draining. We have seen how the Bad Batch and Omega change each other for the better through action and communication, with notable examples like Hunter appreciating Echo for who he is and offers him to join the team, Wrecker becoming more considerate of Omega’s needs, Tech opening his feelings up to Omega, Hunter expressing his willingness to learn how to raise Omega, and Omega reassuring Crosshair that it is not his fault, which briefly softens him. We even see Crosshair changes for the better through his interactions with Cody and Mayday in season 2. This makes me believe that all the Bad Batchers have an Aphrodite consciousness (with Wrecker having the strongest influence), and it has always been there because they are able to love themselves and others for who they truly are.

People who have an Aphrodite consciousness have the ability to become vision carriers, who help other people to shape and live out their dreams. Vision carriers nurture the dreams for others by believing in their dreams, cultivating the skills they needed to achieve that dream, and encouraging them throughout their journey. Vision carriers also provide a sanctuary for others where they could imagine that dream being achieved and their hopes for doing it being nourished. I have always dreamed of a world where we can live authentically and we can accept each other for our differences. However, I feel that dream is impossible based on my real-life experiences as I get judged by my family for being different and not conforming to social norms. Sometimes, I am afraid of showing my true self and I experience a lot of self-criticism and self-hatred. I am sure that I am not the only one struggling with this.

I see the Bad Batch as vision carriers because they can love themselves and others for who they are, which is empowering for us. They teach us to accept our true selves and embrace others for their differences. The Bad Batch fandom does feel like a safe place for us to escape from the harsh realities of life and to strengthen each other’s hopes for a better future. Through watching the series, reading up many headcanons, appreciating the fanart and fanfiction, and interacting with other fans, I feel that my dream of a better future is possible to achieve, and my hopes have been strengthened. I feel the presence of the Aphrodite consciousness. Although the fight for a better future is full of obstacles and setbacks, I am willing to take this difficult journey. That is why I am writing these analyses because I want to share my knowledge and findings to many people, hoping that they can understand the powerful messages from these stories that may change their lives.

Jean Shinoda Bolen believes that vision carriers have the power to help others to discover and develop their gifts, which is called the Pygmalion effect by Robert Rosenthal. The Pygmalion effect is described as the power of positive expectations on the behaviour of others. It is based on a Greek myth: a mortal named Pygmalion fell in love with the sculpture of the perfect woman that he had created, and that statue was brought into life by Aphrodite and she became Galatea, who then became his wife.

Robert Rosenthal coined the term “the Pygmalion effect” through his research where he found that our expectations have a strong influence on others. For example, a teacher who believes in the abilities of failing students can help them improve their grades, transforming them into exceptional students. Likewise, a teacher who is convinced that failing students cannot learn will cause their academic performance to deteriorate the longer they stay in school. Jean Shinoda Bolen describes the Aphrodite’s Pygmalion effect as alchemy, which is a process of mixing different substances to transform the mixture into gold. Through love, Aphrodite’s creative, alchemical influence can turn whatever is ordinary and undeveloped into “gold”.

We have seen the Pygmalion effect on the Bad Batch. In the Clone Wars, Hunter positively affirms Crosshair’s sharpshooting skills, and he offers Echo to join the team, allowing him to develop his unique skills. Even Crosshair gives the similar positive effect, like in “The Bad Batch”, he has faith in Wrecker to save Cody even though the regular clone troopers doubt Wrecker’s capability to do so. The Bad Batch also helps Omega to discover and develop her gifts, which shapes her individuality. Other characters also have demonstrated the Pygmalion effect. For example, Rex encourages Echo to join the Bad Batch because he respects his individuality. The brotherly love Crosshair shares with Cody and Mayday finally causes him to turn on the Empire in season 2. It is evident that the Aphrodite’s Pygmalion effect has turned the Bad Batch into the finest troopers in the galaxy as they can embrace their true selves and others for their differences. I have been experiencing their alchemical influence throughout my archetypal studies done on them, and I am changing myself for the better. I hope you can experience it as well as I do.
