oh my

[cloned-eyes]

I needed an excuse to go back, you know

AN: Wrote this at work today lol.

Pairing: Crosshair x gn!reader (reader isn't specified in any way/ no use of Y/N)

Warnings: none. Just pure fluff. Softest Crosshair you'll ever read

this is also my tattooed version of Cross because yeah if i made it imma use it

Hunter notices his brother is acting a bit off, resulting in Crosshair opening up to him. Reader is only mentioned by a lovesick Crosshair. Hunter is a great Bro

“Are you alright Crosshair?”

Hunter eyed his brother critically. Something was off. Hunter couldn’t quite tell what it was exactly, but his brother acted strange as of late. At least strange enough for him to notice. The sergeant of cloneforce 99 crossed his arms over his chest, slightly leaning towards the team's sniper who currently sat across from him in the co-pilots chair. The other members of their unit had dozed off into deep slumber while their shuttle travelled through hyperspace. It had been Hunters time to watch over the ship's navigation, relieving Crosshair from his watch duties.

However, the sniper didn’t make a move to leave his seat and retire into his bunk. Instead, his eyes were fixed on the light blue blur flashing across them outside. Hunter couldn’t remember the last time the sniper's eyes held any other expression then his usual stern, sharp unyieldingness but right now they were even close to soft, filled to the brim with melancholy. He knew his brother well enough to catch himself a sharp snarl for asking this question alone, but he did it anyway. As a brother he felt the least thing he could do was offer himself for whatever laid on the sniper's mind. Crosshair wasn’t exactly the type to be vulnerable around anyone, not even his brothers. But against all expectations Crosshairs throat let a deep, heavy sigh escape. Something was definitely wrong.

“Do you sometimes ponder about impossibilities?”, he asked. Voice low and hoarse, not bothering to look at his brother. “About what things you want to be, to exist, but know deep down they never will never?”

Hunter had anticipated a thousand things that Crosshair could have said instead but never once he had guessed it could have been something like this. The question oddly hit him. There wasn’t really an answer he could provide, or at least not one he suspected would be fitting for this conversation. Crosshairs words had been vague, and Hunter pondered about what their deeper meaning was.

“Depends on the impossibility, I guess. Mostly not, in the end we can’t change a lot of things that are outside of our control”, he said, instantly noticing how his words seemed to hit Crosshair in a discouraging manner. His brother's eyes tore themselves from the hyperspace to gaze into the void air, shoulders slightly dropping.

“However, I think that a lot of things we perceive as impossible are not that. Unlikely, maybe but not impossible”

That caught his brother's attention. Crosshairs head moved, finally looking Hunter in the face who patiently awaited a further explanation. It was apparent that Crosshair had something heavy weighing on his mind, and he clearly sought council for it. But being himself, Crosshair hesitated quite a lot with being openly vulnerable.

“Wanna share what’s on your mind?”, Hunter carefully asked, offering an out if Crosshair didn’t feel like sharing what was on his mind after all. Crosshair pondered for another moment, eyes falling from his brother onto the ships console, aimlessly flying across it.

“I... I’ve met an impossibility”

Even though Crosshairs voice was untypically low, barely audible at that, Hunter had heard him clear as day. An answer that had caught him off-guard, causing his eyebrows to involuntarily shoot up in surprise. Was Crosshair-? Did he …?

“An impossibility?”, Hunter asked. And even though he only repeated his brothers' words, the tone of is voice made the underlying question clear. Crosshair simply nodded. His eyes meeting Hunters for only a fraction of a second but they revealed more than what a thousand words could have said.

Hunter was completely caught off-guard by this surprising reveal of things. Truly a bit startled by it, mind racing a million miles per hour. Of all of the things imaginable this was the last thing he had expected. And while he was somewhat shocked, in a positive way though, he felt also somewhat great about the fact that his brother trusted him enough to reveal something that personal to him and opening up.

“We met a few months ago”, Crosshair stated, and Hunter watched as his brothers' eyes were back on the blur of hyperspace surrounding them. He found himself unable to speak as he saw the softest of smiles ghosting over his brothers' lips.

“They are amazing. The most amazing person I’ve ever met”, Crosshair whispered. Letting another second pass he looked at Hunter. “I really like them”

The unfamiliar softness of his voice was enough to make Hunter questioning reality. Was his brother actually just confessing to him that he had a crush on someone, that he had a crush at all? Or had he fallen back asleep on accident, dreaming this whole scenario?

“Oh, don’t look at me like that Hunter”, he rasped. The sound of his voice suddenly a much more familiar one with the added roughness. Though it held a hint of playfulness to it. Hunter blinked at him, just now realising his gawking. Clearing his throat he sat back up, straighten his posture in the process.

“Sorry, I just- it's just...”, Hunter was desperately searching for the right words to say. His ears didn’t miss the low chuckle his brother let out and he was somewhat relieved about how relaxed Crosshair was with his behaviour.

“Just what? Thinking that your unyielding brother is incapable of developing emotions for someone that doesn’t share his genetical coding?”, mockingly asked. It was very clear that he tried to tease Hunter. His usual behaviour slowly crept back in. Still, Hunter couldn't help but to hear the clear truth of his brothers' insecurities in the words spoken. He never showed it, but not even Crosshair was saved from self-doubt and insecurity.

“No not at all”, he said, softly shaking his head and offering Crosshair a small, reassuring smile.” ‘Just surprised you’re sharing it with me so openly.”

“I guess I’m just desperate to talk to someone”, Crosshair stated, sighing overly dramatic as he moved in the seat to readjust his sitting position. Hunter softly snickered, rolling his eyes at Crosshair. He saw right through him and was truly thankful that he trusted him enough to show this side of him.

“Wanna tell me about them? Only if you comfortable with it though”, Hunter asked. And while he didn’t want to be pushy at all, he was highly intrigued about the person who had managed to win over the grumpy sniper's heart.

Crosshair let out a defeated but also amused huff, his gaze softened as he seemed to recall their imagine in his mind.

“They are an artist. Tattoo artist to be precise. They touched up my face tattoo and got something done on my stomach as well. We talked and they just...I can’t describe it, nor explain it but the way the captivated me”, he told Hunter, a fond smile throning on his lips and Hunter wasn’t sure if he had ever seen any comparable expression on Crosshairs face.

But with that confession made, a lot of things clicked and fell into place about the last months. About how Crosshair was off ship immediately whenever they were back in the Galactic Capital. Hunter couldn’t help the slightly cocky smile forming on his lips. Leaning back into his chair and crossing his arms in a slightly smug manner as he eyed Crosshair up and down, waiting until his brother looked at him.

“So that’s why you got all those tattoos all of the sudden?”, Hunter asked but it was much more a conclusion. Crosshair shot him a mischievous glance.

“I needed an excuse to go back, you know”, he explained. Voice dropping into a whisper again, “I-I really like them”

It was a heavy confession and Hunter knew it probably took his brother everything to not only admit that to himself but out loud as well. And knowing this Hunter felt immense pride over his brother and the way he navigated his feelings in a healthy way.

“Have you told them?”

Crosshair hesitated a moment. Eyes falling shut as he sighed yet again.

“Not yet”

“Why not?”

It took Crosshair yet another pause to sort his thoughts and words he needed to explain himself.

“Because I’m kriffing afraid Hunter”, he rasped and the way he said those voice so raw in emotion made Hunters stomach slightly twist. “I’ve never been of afraid anything more in my life than to ask them if they would like to grab a caf with me or something. I’m pathetic. What if I misinterpret their behaviour. What if I just imagine things. See deeper meanings where none are?”

Trying not to get caught up in the fact that his brother just openly spilled out his own insecurities to him – something he had never done before, or at least not this unfiltered – Hunter tried to figure out the best way to approach this situation and support his brother in a way he needed right now. “Well, you won’t find out unless you ask them, will you”

Was it a cliché thing to say. Absolutely. But held it also the most of truth behind it. Oh, definitely. Crosshair groaned, shooting Hunter an annoyed glare, not hiding his frustration over the situation one bit.

“Stop being a smartass, as if you ever have to asked someone out”, he mumbled, and it felt like he searched for an excuse to not go through with his plans.

Hunter understood to an extent. His brother got cold feet and he was nervous. It was kind of adorable and it took Hunter everything to not tease him about it. Instead, he returned his brothers scowl with a confident smile.

“Well, but I can’t hardly say ‘You’re right. Don't do it, don’t try’. I have a responsibility as your brother, you know. Besides, what is the worst thing that can happen?”

It was more of a rhetorical question, but Crosshair answered it, nevertheless.

“They say no and laugh at me”, he said, kneading his fingers while failing to act unbothered.

Hunter huffed.

“And? Then you at least know that they’re a shit person. But I doubt that out of all the beings in the galaxy you would be the one, to misread a situation like this. What does your gut tell you?”

Crosshair avoided his brothers intense gaze for a moment but they both knew that Hunter wouldn’t let him of the hook now.

“They like me back...Oh Maker Hunter, I really want them to like me back”, Crosshair confessed after a small eternity. Hands gliding over his face as if to wipe away his nervousness and doubts. Hunter nodded encouraging.

“Well, I’ve yet to experience your gut being wrong. So, I say you’re good, vod”

It was clear as day that Crosshair wanted to argue Hunters argument at first but any word, he wanted to bring against his brothers claim died down rather quick. The sergeant watched him thinking about what was said in silenced. A wave of victory washing trough his veins as he noticed how Crosshairs shoulders relaxed and the scowl on his face softened.

Crosshair gave Hunter another side glance, the ghost of a smile tugging on his lips. There were no further words needed for Crosshair to show appreciation of his brother. He was beyond glad he had Hunter as a brother. The sniper knew he wasn’t always the easiest nor affectionate, but he adored his brothers and was deeply thankful to have them in his life and back them up. Slightly patting his thighs Crosshair got up, stretching himself tall.

“I’ll hit the bunk” Hunter nodded. A small smile still played on his face as he watched his brothers attitude come back. Crosshair halted one last time, gazing to his brother over his shoulder.

“Thank you for listening Hunter” It was barely audible, but Hunter caught it. He always did. His smile spread into a grin, causing Crosshair to shake his head. Then his eyes narrowed.

“If you tell anyone expect a blaster bolt in your back”, Crosshair threatened, making his brother chuckle. That was the brother he knew.

“I won't. Pinky promise”, he said, holding his pinkie finger out in a playful manner. Crosshair actually took up to it after another moment had passed. Shaking his head and groaning heavily as he looked his pinkie finger around his brothers, sealing the pack. After that he wasted no time getting out of the cockpit, no further words leaving his throat.

Hunter softly chuckled to himself. Turning around in his chair his head fell against the seat as his eyes roamed over the hyperspace. He couldn’t wait to meet the person his brother adored so much.

[lazinesswrites]

I should've been working on my thesis today, but instead I've been thinking about clones. I did also work on my thesis just not as much as I probably should have.

I finally reached the part of Clone Wars where the Bad Batch are introduced and watched it twice and I have some Thoughts. Since you all seemed to like my May 4th post (seriously, it's still getting new notes every day, what's with that? - not a complaint) I figured I'd share.

I will warn you right now: It may become clear in this post that I'm studying Communication, and also that I find Words and How People Use Them really interesting.

So. Okay. We all like Cody, right? He's a good guy. He spends a lot of time with Kenobi, and also Skywalker, so some snark is to be expected, but over all he seems like a nice guy (not to be mistaken for a Nice Guy TM, which is something completely different and not actually very nice at all). It's also made clear that he's worked with the Batch several times before, and that the Batch all seem to like him well enough, for a reg, anyway.

Cody introduces the Batch to Rex as "defective clones, with... desirable mutations". Defective. From a guy who seems to at least respect them, and have earned their respect in turn.

It makes me wonder... How often have the Batch heard that word? How many times have they been called something even worse? Sure, they weren't around to overhear it this time, but that doesn't mean aren't sometimes, or that other people won't say it to their faces.

And what almost makes it worse is, I don't think Cody meant anything bad by it. It wasn't an insult, just a word, a fact - a way to describe them that Rex would understand. An Rex probably doesn't see it as an insult to them either; a cause for concern, maybe, but not too bad, because Cody clearly trusts them to get this job done. And Rex seems to respect 99, too; another 'defective' clone (see his comment about naming them Cloneforce 99 'a nice touch') (idr if Cody is ever seen interacting with 99 or talking about him or giving away an opinion one way or another, but probably he liked 99 just fine too).

What I'm getting at is... Just because Cody and Rex don't use 'defective' as an insult, that doesn't change the fact that it is a negatively charged word, especially when directed at clones, who are people, but often treated more like droids; where defect means damaged, means not worth it, means decommissioned, means dead, in one way or another. And the fact that the word is so commonplace that good guys like Rex and Cody use it so flippantly... That must be really fucking hard, to live with that moniker hanging over your heads all the time, no matter how good you are at what you do (A 100% success rate doesn't happen accidentally - that's what happens when you can't afford to be anything less than perfect). No wonder they try to turn it around; wear it like armor: Yeah, we're a "bad batch" but we're still here.

Honestly, "regs" seems kind in comparison.

[gospelofme]

I’ve seen some posts about people wondering if the relationship between Omega and Clone Force 99 will be the same. If Hunter will still act like a father figure to her.

Why wouldn’t he? Why would the relationship between them be any different?

[zoeykallus]

Reaction to the batchers being called “ tall” or being told “you’re very tall”. Also a cute bonus to them reacting to comparing their big hands to their S/O small hands.

Hehe, some of them might hear that more often than others :))

The Bad Batch x Reader Soft HC's - Tall Guys

Hunter

Well compared to his brothers he is not really that tall. But maybe compared to you? Either way if you call him tall, he'll be flustered. His shoulders will automatically go upward and his chest swells a little. He is used to be the smallest of the group, well together with Echo.

You calling him tall actually makes him feel tall. Of course he knows he is not the tallest of them all, but you calling him tall makes him feel much better about it. Hunter is not really troubled about being smaller than his brothers, but it still flatters him to hear these words from you.

Hands:

Well he is not that tall, but his strong hands are bigger than yours. Comparing your hand with his makes him smile. He'll grab your hand and kiss your fingers, one by one, giving you sweet goosebumps.

Echo

He never really thought about it. Before he joined Cloneforce 99, he was one of thousands of brothers with the exact same height. So there was never any need to compare or feel small. Surprisingly that never changed, not even with guys like Wrecker and Tech around him.

But still, as soon as you call him tall and look up at his face you see a slight pink-ish tone creep into his cheeks and a sweet little smile. Echo loves compliments of any kind as long as they come from you. He values every nice word that you gift him like a treasure. And he remembers everything, he will never forget anything nice you said to him. But be aware, he won't forget any negative or mean word either and he hurts pretty deep and for a long time if you should ever be mean.

Hands:

Comparing your hand with his will end in him taking the chance to hold your hand and not let you go for quite a while. He plays with your fingers and smiles at you. He is such a lovebug.

Wrecker

"I know, right? Hardly ever meat anyone remotely close to my height"

Wrecker is huge, he knows that. People around him are pretty small, pretty much always. Even Tech and Crosshair who are actually pretty tall too, are smaller than him.

He is not really surprised when you say it out load but he really likes the way you say it and he loves that you feel safe around him.

Wrecker actually made the experience that people around him get nervous because of his size in height and muscle. You show him that you trust him to be close to you and that makes him very happy and content.

Hands:

His hands are huge like the rest of the man. He softly closes his hand around yours after comparing and it completly vanishes in his.

"So tiny", he says softly.

Wrecker is very careful and soft about it. He'll compare both your hands pretty regularly.

Tech

Y/N : "You are so tall"

Tech: "I know"

Well, yes he knows. Of course he does. But the way you say it, with that look of adoration, spreads warmth in his chest and stomach. Despite his exceptional mind, he gets easily flustered when you say certain things about his appearence. He is not exactly used to getting compliments of that kind.

Y/N : "And I love it"

He blinks and blushes.

Tech: "Oh"

Suddenly his shoulders are completely straight and he pushes his otherwise slightly bent back through and actually stands straight for once.

Hands:

You take his hand to compare it with yours which makes him look puzzled at first.

"What are you doing?"

"Comapring"

"Our hands?"

"Yes"

"Mine is bigger, that's pretty obvious, even from afar"

But as soon as your fingers touch his and he sees the difference he is actually intrigued in a way he can't explain. Maybe it's the touch, the closeness or something else entirely, but he gets real quiet and let's you do your thing.

Crosshair

He knows he is tall and he knows the ladies like it. He is vigilant and it never escapes him how people look at him. When you tell him you think he's pretty tall, he is not really flustered nor is he surprised.

"You like that don't you?"

Crosshair is actually pretty smug about it. He'll make you blush.

"Yes...", you say almost timidly.

The smirk on his face is knowing and smug and sexy. He comes very close, bends down a little and says mockingly, "Come on, try to get a kiss"

Hands:

Crosshair cocks an eybrow at you the moment you compare your hand with his. He looks at you this way, so unmoved and kinda half serious that you have to try real hard not to grin.

Your eyes wander to his and you say, "Your fingers are so long compared to mine"

He cocks the other eyebrow at you and you can't help but giggle.

Crosshair roles his eyes and grabs you to pull you close.

"Shut up, Kitten"

[echoedcrosshairs]

You know what annoys me? Is how soooo many people can’t read between the lines when we have the whole conversation between cross hair and the squad saying I was one of you… bleh bleh. I’ll give you what you didn’t give me… a chance. Crosshairs story is actually sad when you think about it, he’s a survivor of order 66 and being experimented on which unfortunately a lot of people in the military are. Crosshair’s inhibitor chip turned on during order 66 like the rest of the clones, at the time however the batch and him didn’t know what it was and why his behavior was more ‘unyielding’ then usual.

Remember Omega saying she knew what he was going to do and that he couldn’t help it? How she asked him not too? She knew his chip activated. The batch didn’t realize their was something ‘wrong’ with all of them until they learned about the chips, and assumed Crosshair’s was defective because they all where ‘defective’ but they never went back for him.Remember how Cross hair said “Good Soldiers follow orders” and it is the same exact thing that Wrecker said before his chip went off and he attacked? It’s a tagline in the chip for them to say.

Crosshair feels betrayed because he originally didn’t have a choice, his brother abandoned him and then was experimented on to see if they could turn up the intensity of his chip. It wasn’t until season 1 episode 8 ‘Reunion’ that he got his chipped removed when he was burned. After this episode we start to see him slowly starting to wake up in small moments, fragments of who he was. His brothers abandoned him, didn’t save him from his chip & didn’t even try to save him. After abandoning him, why would he have go with them? They broke his trust.

So seeing Crosshair care so deeply for Mayday and the defeated we see him feel at his death and at the empire, everyone has abandoned him. After Crosshairs bad comment about Dead weight, Mayday still chose to save him; Crosshair had someone decent to put his faith and trust in for a minute. When the avalanche came down, Mayday still pushed him out of the way regardless of his attitude and saved him and not himself. Is such a pivotal moment because he truly sees who the empire is and how much they don’t care. Regardless of his anger towards his brothers he still cares and is learning.

Sad theory

Cody does make an appearance in The Bad Batch, but as an enemy for the most part.

Rex tries to get through to him, it escalating into a physical fist fight between them.

Something happens, an explosion maybe, it knocks them both off their feet.

Clone Force 99 and Omega is begging Rex to hurry, to come on. Urging Cody to come on.

Cody sees the Empire closing in on his friends, the explosion having broken some hold of the chip. He tells Rex to go and that he’ll hold the Empire off for him. That he’ll be right behind him.

Rex knows he won’t be.

The classic Clone Wars theme plays majestically.

[gospelofme]

So I’m rewatching The Bad Batch.

About Crosshair being fucking ready to snipe Grandma….like wtf man who hurt you 😂😂😂

[gospelofme]

Tarkin: “how many of these enhanced clones do you possess?”

Nala Se: “5 are all that remain.”

All that remain.

Remain.

This implies there used to be more enhanced clones than what we see with Clone Force 99.

I wonder what happened to them…

[gospelofme]

“Hah! Told you he’s alive!! You owe me 2 credits!”

-Wrecker to Crosshair about Echo

This implies this conversation happened.

Wrecker: I hope Echo is okay.

Crosshair: he probably died.

Wrecker: what?! No way!

Crosshair: wanna bet?

[gospelofme]

Now let me make this even sadder.

It’s Obiwan that Cody saves.

The classic Clone Wars theme plays majestically.

We all ugly cry.
