#Batch 32

[secretly-a-trekkie]

woke up an hour ago, looked in the mirror and had a thought ™️

Cody, in one corner, throwing hands and going absolutely feral on a commando droid, releasing some pent up emotion via clanker violence

Crosshair, in the other corner, giving Cody the “can you just STOP FOR A SEC AND HELP ME” eyes

Hunter & Kids Meet Emerie & Kids

I have an HC that Crosshair stuns Emerie at every chance he gets. In part for revenge for his time at Tantiss, but also because, ya know, they're siblings.

I had a revelation.

So I had been wondering about if I were to ever introduce my dad to Star Wars Bad Batch, what his reactions would be to each of them (I knew he would love Omega because that’s how my dad is). Now I might not have been able to predict everything and this cannot be known until he actually sees the show, but I am very confident that his reaction to and feelings about Crosshair would be similar to reaction to and fellings about Jesse from Breaking Bad.

cody was EXACTLY what crosshair needed. like someone who's SO fundamentally kind and good, someone who'll fight for people, someone who IS a good soldier, a perfect one infact and STILL questions orders. orders he's PROGRAMMED to obey. i wholeheartedly believe this was a turning point in crosshair's story.

Oh how the seasons change

[starplusfourletters]

Crosshair’s actual superpower is radicalizing other clones

but like radicalizing them AGAINST the Empire

[quotidian-oblivion]

Omg I can't believe I almost forgot to send you pics of the treats!

Cookies and Breadsticks!! :)

HELLO????? YUM????????? Hold on- i have just the pic-

(reusing the pic I drew for another ask earlier-) That's me rn

I wanna drizzle nutella on top of those breadsticks and c o n s u m e.

Okay think for a second if crosshair stayed with the bad batch. Hunter is the oldest and him the youngest so clearly sibling rivalry.

The pair of them would try to out dad the other when it came to omegas upbringing.

Hunter: oh crosshair wouldn’t let you have candy floss before bed? *gives her a bowl of it*

Crosshair: oh hunter won’t give you any credits to hang out with your friends? *gives her 50*

I know I've posted about this before, but I have been going out of my tumblr bubble a little more to find discussion of this episode and honestly I am still surprised by the amount of argument over if Crosshair Deserves a redemption, in a show where not only is redemption a big thing but... most redeemed villains have done so much more than Crosshair has.

Like, the general implication is he got his chip out after Bracca - I've seen some theories that it's when we see him in the medbay after episode three, which is possible but his personality shift doesn't seem to happen until after Bracca, so I think it's a good assumption that everything before that is his chip. Leaving aside discussions of culpability in clones given that they are literally raised from infancy to follow orders and the effects of what an enhanced chip might do to the brain, this means that the things we see Crosshair do that is at least mostly of his own will are:

He shot Senator Taa with a nonfatal headshot which is apparently a thing he can do, though after his display in Solitary Clone I guess that's not surprising.

Lured in the batch to make his misguided attempt at selling the Empire with the worst sales pitch known to man. Killed his imperial squad in the process (this isn't really a bad thing but you know, including it as Some Murders He Did)

Decided to stay with the Empire, proceeded to sit on that platform for 32 days and then spend several months in his jammies waiting for medical clearance since the gap between seasons is much more than that single month judging from Omega's growth spurt.

Killed Governor Tawni and I stick to my argument that this was timed to when Cody was being threatened with consequences, but it's the most clearly Awful thing he's done.

When left to his own devices he's a shit talking bitch. While considered rude, this is not illegal and others are willing to engage in 'talk shit get hit' with him over it.

In a show where the majority of redemptions go to people that have participated in genocides, torture, and so forth with fewconflicted emotions until their ultimate redemption arc, I just do not know why people are so quick to put him in the Irredeemable Box. (I've literally seen articles that did it as early as episode three where he was still considered unambiguously chipped but suddenly MIND CONTROL IS NO EXCUSE)

He has been clearly struggling with himself the entire show. Most of his actions sit in kind of a murky area because we don't know what's going on in his head because I don't think HE knows what's going on in his head and if he does he's not being honest about it anyway. Let the poor little meow meow breathe damn it.
