Poor Mom does not have the time for this conversation right now, and Omega could’ve sworn that everyone in Star Wars was supposed to lose their hand at one point in time.

okay but imagine grown up omega and hera after the defeat of the empire and them meeting up with the rest of the bad batch and jacen is also there and they get to catch up with each other and then hera says something along the lines of "you know, you saved his father" because you can be damn sure kanan confided in hera about his experience with order 66, so she knows.

now, the only ones who were there when kanan escaped from them, were hunter and cross, but i think that hearing that kanan got to live a somewhat happy life with hera and the rest of the ghost crew, that must have been a relief for both of them. for hunter because of his Dad Instinct™ and probably having been worried about what happened to the kid. for cross because that's one less person on his concience.

also, hera wouldn't be where she is today if it weren't for them, helping her and her family on ryloth, and saving her husband from certain death when he was just a child. the batch helped the rebellion more than they were aware of. hera will be forever thankful to clone force 99.

I have some semi-coherent thoughts now. I want to specifically analyze that final scene and why that in particular had me bursting into tears. (I still can’t watch it without tearing up.) I use the term “analyze” loosely and really mean stick around and listen to me emotionally ramble.

FIRST of all, they hit us with grown up Omega, which automatically hits you in the feels because this is the naive, bright-eyed child we’ve watched be amazed by dirt now getting ready to head off and fight in the Rebellion.

Then, they hit us with her exchange with old man Hunter. We got that bittersweet ending in the best way possible.

This is the payoff. The Bad Batch has raised her well. She has grown up into the type of person who sees the injustices in the galaxy and wants to do something about it. It’s time for her to take up a cause and fight.

Hunter’s response. “And we want to keep you safe.”

Omega: “You have. But I’m not a kid anymore. You don’t have to worry about me.”

Hunter: “You’re our kid, Omega. You always will be.”

Admittedly, this exchange here hit me deep on a personal level as someone who’s going to be moving out very soon. It’s time to grow up and I want to do this to step into who I am meant to be. But I also know in my parent’s eyes, I’ll always be there little child. And that both warms and breaks my heart just as it does theirs.

My personal life aside, from a storyline perspective, it is adorable how Omega reassures Hunter that they have kept her safe. I mean, just look at her! Look at the bright young person you’ve managed to raise, Hunter. The father genes are strong in this one.

Omega tells him: “Hunter, you’ve all fought enough.”

This in it of itself is heartbreaking. The clones have all fought enough for a Republic that ultimately failed and discarded them. Clone Force 99 was fortunate to end up fighting for something worthwhile. For them, they fought for family and they ultimately won. And now, it is Hunter’s turn to lay down his arms to let the next generation take up the fight. And that stings because while he managed to eventually raise Omega in peace, he cannot fully shield her from having to bear the burden of war.

Honestly, I often think of Thrawn’s lines when talking to Hera and I think it’s applicable to Omega as well. “War is in your blood… You were forged by it.”

Here is Omega telling Hunter that it’s her fight. As a clone, it’s in her blood, in her genes, to fight. As a child raised on the tail end of the Clone Wars, it is her fight because she inherited it. As a person, it is her fight because she’s not one to stand aside while others are oppressed. Once again, a sign of how well-raised she is.

Hunter acknowledges Omega’s readiness, “I know you are… but I’m not.”

Oof. His admittance is a double edged sword. He knows she’s ready, he helped train her himself after all. It’s obvious he is so proud of her, but he doesn’t feel ready to let her go. Listening to his perspective really makes me tear up because it really gives insight on how my parents are handling my move. They don’t necessarily want to say goodbye but they are willing because they know I can accomplish what I set out to do.

THE HUG.

Yeah, I’m drowning in a sea of tears. This is so wholesome!

Before Omega boards her ship, Hunter is sure to tell her, “If you ever need us,

Omega need only say the word and you best believe her brothers are crossing the entire galaxy more than five times to be at her side.

And yeah, that makes me cry all the harder because I know my family will do the same.

And the goggles scene was such another bittersweet punch in the gut.

She’s definitely older than Tech was when he died, but the life she got to live on Pabu and what she’s going to do in the future is exactly why he sacrificed himself. She can live and live well. She’s forever going to be carrying a piece of him with her and carry on his legacy by utilizing the knowledge that he bestowed upon her. I’m definitely sobbing even harder. Tech girlies, I think denial is no longer an option.

Omega takes off in her ship and her theme swells in the background and it a scene of pure art and emotion. Batcher whines as she departs and I am so sad that Omega didn’t get to take Batcher with her because it parallels how I have to leave my fur babies behind!

The Bad Batch has showed us how change greatly affected everyone’s lives and how they learned to adapt to such changes. Yet, there was the constant that no matter what happened, family is still family and you can find a way to carry on to a brighter future.

Hunter’s final lines really get me, “It’s all right, girl. She’ll be fine.”

To me, I can almost take it as a message for myself. As the Bad Batch draws to a close and Omega steps into a new chapter, so must I. It’s rather daunting, but you know what, I’m gonna be fine and I’m gonna make it.

Whatever you are going through, just know you’re going to be fine as well.

Well… I have no coherent thoughts. Everyone lived, except my boy Tech, but that was so GOOD! Omega, everyone, AHAJAJFGDJDJBCHDJDKH! I LOVE THE CLONES! DIE HEMLOCK! YES! GROWN OMEGA GOING TO FIGHT IN THE REBELLION HAS ME IN TEARS!

[hyperfixated-fan]

bruh, felt. She caught my interest the moment she first came on screen. I love the background characters who get virtually no lines. I’m glad we finally got to hear her speak. Also, I’m just partial to Pantorans. Why do they all have such great character designs?!

The kids in general though make me question about Pantorans and Mirialans. How young do they get their kids tattooed since Jax and Sami have theirs?

Can we talk about Sami for a sec?

She's not the precocious kid. Not the one with the sweet voice who'll break your heart with their innocence, curiosity, and optimism.

She's not the defiant kid. Not the one who'll rage and fight and inspire you with their rebellious spirit.

But she's the one taking it upon herself to care for baby Bayrn. She's the one gently reminding them of how to keep out of trouble. She's the one trying to reassure the new kid that things won't feel this bad forever.

I'll always have a special place in my heart for the kids that aren't as noticeable as their peers. The ones making themselves as small and silent as possible to keep everyone else safe and happy. Don't worry. We see you too.

[hyperfixated-fan]

what if cx-2 was killed before his identity was confirmed?

[hyperfixated-fan]

i’m still hoping for a CX-2/tech reveal, if for nothing else than to see this scene play out

[hyperfixated-fan]

No but it's...

the way they naturally fall into eachother's roles when the other isn't there.

the instinctual head-tilt when Crosshair stabilized his rifle on Tech's shoulder, as if they'd done it a thousand times before.

It's the fact that Tech clearly told Phee all about his brother.

It's the sad, fond smile on Crosshair's face when Omega said Tech made her memorize all the plans ("of course he did").

It's the way Tech knew exactly where to look for that mirror.

[hyperfixated-fan]

👿🌈😇

Finally it's done T^T

[hyperfixated-fan]

Summary: How long had it been? Decades? Millennia? His heart had long since froze over just like everything else in this wretched Realm. But deep in his soul, there was a thrum, a stirring. What was it about these foreigners that shook him to his core? Who was this fearsome Samurai warrior who stood before his throne and challenged him?

Or, a fix-it fic for season 11 where Pixal gets to go to the Never Realm to save her Nindroid.

[hyperfixated-fan]

Summary: Crosshair blinked, the situation finally clicking in his mind. "You're telling me that while I was being tortured, the two most awkward members of our squad got themselves girls?"

Bewildered, flabbergasted, and bamboozled didn't even begin to cover his thoughts on this. Well then... now he's got to test and see if these women are truly deserving of his brothers' affections.

[hyperfixated-fan]

We just watched the episode and my brother pointed out how much he sounded like Tech. I can’t. I need my boy back! 😭

Did anyone else think that crosshair sounds a lot like tech sometimes..? :')

[hyperfixated-fan]

I love the Encanto fandom!

Literally everyone is so creative and puts out such fantastic art! Aahahhahahavgahsh! I love it all so much!

Tiny things I just had to comment on about this video. The detail in the song and artwork is just *mwah* *chef’s kiss*. Perfection. The micro expressions and movement have me grinning from ear to ear. Too bad Luisa didn’t make an appearance since this is a awesome new rendition of her song.

The thing that I find hilarious and heartbreaking about villain Isabela songs out there is that it’s typically her yelling at Alma and Mariano. It makes sense she’d be the most bitter at these two, but I just find it so funny whenever Mariano gets a imprisoned and a verbal smack down because his biggest flaw is that he is just existing. That’s it! He’s just ignorant of the situation surrounding him and gets yelled at. From what we’ve seen, he’s not malicious and is generally kind and respectful. So, I’m always sitting here laughing at his obliviousness and how much he has to suffer for it.

Now, Dolores is my all time favorite character but I understand why people hate her. I genuinely do and it hurts my heart. (She knows info that could help, but she doesn’t act. I understand the frustration with a character who does that.) Yet it makes the dynamic between Isa and Dolores all the more interesting. I relate to Isa so much it hurts with the oldest daughter, perfectionistic, people pleasing tendencies. I see how she has a right to be angry. Yet, at the same time, I can see how Dolores is right in her own eyes for her actions. She’s suffering too but doesn’t speak up because she is afraid of what will happen and how things might change. They could change for the better or just make the situation so much worse. So for her, the best option is just suffer in silence. Isabela and Dolores are neither 100% in the right or wrong from where they stand.

Another hilarious thing I found was that Isa in her villain arc just sent Dolores into her own. (Makes sense though, bc who would want their secret crush to be outed in such a humiliating way. Also, Isa’s clap in her face was a needlessly cruel detail that I loved they added.) You best believe I am on pins and needles waiting for Dolores’ villain song.
