@huskers-bar x @nunalastor chapter 4
Tags: enemies to lovers, angst?, eventual fluff, yearning?, soft huskers-bar, both mods are separate people, no beta we die like i do, minor character death, ooc, au: hellaverse (hazbin hotel), nunalastor is head of the marketing department, jealousy?, huskers-bar is an employee at voxtek, lulu as a villain, huskers-bar is a liar, secret dating?
chapter: 4/? / chapter Word count: 2,484 / total word count: 7,426
nunalastor as a single entity is nunalastor, traumatized mod dickmaster and cursed mod nun. and huskers-bar just husk/huskers. babygirl anon will be babygirl anon. I will be lulu. Angie will be angie but is meant to be read as angel dust.
A/N: pure lore this chapter. Almost none of the funny :( sorry. i've decided that as an apology for not being active at all today, the entirety of the next chapter is just going to be nunalastor fucking. I will also stop talking about plot from now on, cuz i'm just bullshitting my way through at this point.
"Hi" Lulu greeted. The room fell into an awkward silence, and the air thickened with palpable tension. Lulu locked his gaze with Alastor's, refusing to look away. The seconds stretched into minutes, elongating the unspoken battle of wills and determination, a staring contest neither wanted to lose, although Lulu was undeniably unaware of the game and was just being a menace.
"how may I assist you today?" Alastor finally spoke, his voice punctuated by a forced smile that failed to reach his eyes. The constant staring wasn't enough to get him to blink even once, but the mundane nature of just staring at Lulu was more than reason enough for Alastor to interject their five extremely long minutes of silence. Plus he didn't need the other members of the hotel to start asking questions. they were too persistent anyway.
Lulu snapped out of his reverie, jolted back to reality by Alastor's question. He rummaged through his bag, shuffling items aside in search of something specific, his actions conveying a sense of excitement. Ugh, he could've been a living vibrator with how jarring the immediate mood shift was. "Ah, right," He mumbled, his attention divided between the bag and Alastor. "I'm here to try and convince you to help me... Again."
Alastor let an exasperated sigh slip, pinching the bridge of his nose. This had been the third time lulu approached him this week alone and this feral... whatever that thing was, wasn't giving up on it "we've already went over this lulu, I am not going to help you steal Lucifers blood"
Lulu pouted, letting out a saddened squeak, his hands immediately stopping their search for the list of reasons Alastor should let Lulu steal Lucifers blood "Not even for 75 souls? Really cute ones?" He bargained, shoulders slumping and posture generally turning a lot more depressed, just like the owner of those shoulders probably was.
"No." Alastor reiterated, "No amount of souls is going to cut it."
The very annoyed and pissed expression on lulus face was honestly disgusting. Lulu leaned in closer, as if the proximity would convince Alastor. oh how wrong he was.
"Dear, why don't you just stop with this nonsense?" Alastor said, the corners of his trademark fake smile twitching in irritation. He put his hands back behind him and stepped away. The more distance between this creature and him the more comfortable he felt.
"what if it was the entire west side of the pentagram?" Lulu offered, sort of as a last ditch attempt... for today at least. Lulu was not exactly sane enough to know when to quit.
"I highly doubt a creature such as yourself is going to be able to achieve such a thing" Alastor answered, mostly as a jab to Lulus pathetic self, but the idea of him gathering so many souls was an amusing one.
However, Lulu didn't think so. Lulus eyes lit up with mischief, immediately switching from that almost-scowl to a smirk even the devil wouldn't be able to mimic. He jumped from the realization, "so that is a maybe! progress"
Alastor shouldn't be surprised but he is. Why is Lulu so obsessed with lucifers blood? sure it tasted good but not that good. Alastor sighed, shaking his head in disbelief and spoke "if that was all you came here for than you're welcome to leave"
"yeah, okay-" Lulu cut himself off as soon as he noticed a sexy four armed hottie walking by the door. "woah! who's that sexy thing over there?"
"excuse me?" Angie turned his head at the directed voice at him. he looked left and right, as if to make sure it was really him that this random imp looking creature was talking to. Once he was sure there was no one else, he put on his trademark seductive smile "oh, are you one of my fans?"
"no, never seen you in my life. what's a beautiful thing like you doing here?" Lulu said casually, running up to Angie and circling around him. The concept of personal space must've been a heaven thing because Lulu was prodding at absolutely every part of Angie.
"oh, that's a first." Angie chuckled nervously as he watched Lulu welcome himself to his body. "well the names angie"
"the names lulu." Lulu answered in a heartbeat. He finally relented the assault and turned to Alastor, waving "Bye Alastor, I'll be stealing your bitches"
"what?"
~
"he's the most precious thing I have with me here at the hotel!" Angie said petting the pig in question. Little fat nuggets was very comfortably set in his lap and was napping.
"he is a cute pig, i'll admit." Lulu said, laughing along and staring at the adorable little creature. He tapped his fingers against the nearest surface, humming to himself. "hmm... say though, what is it that you actually desire? surely there's more to your existence than just taking care of fat nuggets?"
Angie slumped at that question, he didn't like being reminded of work, especially not when he's supposed to be relaxing. HE looked away, scratching the back of his head "oh, that's complicated"
"how so?" Lulu pried, crossing his legs, picking up his teacup and taking one sip. "It's tea time, and tea needs spillin"
Angie shrugged, reaching out one of his four arms to grab his own cup. he blew on it before taking a sip and sighing. "well, I kinda sold my soul to a blind prick" He began
"ah, gotcha" Lulu nodded, "go on, what's this prick like?" he pried, observing him with a keen eye.
That was all it took for Angie to start going off. "he's a real asshole, and not the sexy kind. he has no sense of personal space and is so insistent on always having me around. it's pathetic really-"
As Angie continued his rambling about how unbearable val was, Lulu listened attentively, observing him with a keen eye. Sensing Angie's frustration and dissatisfaction, Lulu formulated a surprising proposal. "What if I told you," Lulu interjected, his voice filled with intrigue, "that I could help you with that?"
"You're serious?" Angie asked, his voice tinged with both skepticism and caution, but he wasn't too against the idea, who would be?
Lulu nodded, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "Absolutely. I have been trying to find a way to gain status you see, and what better way than to steal the porn overlords most prized bitch?"
Angie leaned forward, his attention fully captured by Lulu's proposition. "And what would you want in return? I've learned the hard way that nothing comes without a price. Not making that mistake again"
Lulu's smile widened as he raised his teacup to his lips, savoring another sip before placing it back on the table. "you're absolutely right. The thing is, the plan I have in mind isn't one I can carry out on my own. I need a helping hand. A partner in crime" Lulu said, letting the rest be left unspoken.
"i'm not helping you kill someone" Angie said, crossing his first set of arms over his chest and wrapping the second around fat nuggets almost like a shield.
"kill? nonsense" Lulu said, waving his hand in dismissal, as if even the mere idea of it was ridiculous. |I need you to help me collect souls. souls that will give me a name. nothing more. I can guarantee I will not be harming any soul that I collect"
That sounded very sketchy. On one hand, yes it made sense, collecting souls was how other overlords became overlords, but most overlords were also assholes. Angie couldn't let another one like valentino exist in the world. But the offer was too tempting... "how do I know you ain't lying?"
Lulu got up, extending a hand over to angie, pausing first in confusion. He was having trouble deciding which hand would need shaking "uh..." He shook it off. "I'll make a contract. In exchange for your assistance, I promise to free you from valentino grasp. In addition, I promise that I will not harm a single soul in the process"
Angie was sold. That was enough a reason to think this guy wasn't fucking around. "As you already know, I've already sold a part of my soul. no need for the deal. I'll help you"
"wonderful. I'll be discussing the plan with you two weeks before the next extermination"
~
Vox stared at Huskers, his crimson eyes narrowing as he processed the situation. Alastor, the infamous Radio Demon, had broken another of Vox's employees watches. His anger was palpable and causing static to appear between his antennas. "That fucking bastard?!"
Husk shifted uncomfortably under Vox's gaze. The pitch shift in Vox's voice was stupid but a little intimidating. "I'm sorry. I didn't get to talk to him, I went to this hotel after Angie offered, and I just stumbled upon him there"
Vox looked like he was about to blow a fuse but for a moment Vox's anger got replaced with a smirk. He paced back and forth across his office, his sharp claws clicking against the marble floor. The gears in his mind (literally) spun rapidly, taking into account every single opportunity he had now that husk was attending the hotel.
"Hmm," Vox muttered, his screen displaying a smirk worthy of the sexiest man on twitter. "Maybe this isn't such a bad idea. Someone to gather intel on my dear Alastor-I mean, that asshole!" He turned his attention back to Huskers, his gaze piercing. "It has failed once, but to be fair, that Pentious was a complete idiot." Vox paused, putting a finger up to his face. "Do they trust you?"
Husker hesitated, unsure how to respond. "Uh... not particularly," they admitted. Sure, they were in hell, but they were almost killed on the first day, that can't be a sign of trust.
Vox waved a dismissive hand in the air. "Unimportant. From now on, you are free from all other duties," He declared, his voice full of pure adulterated joy, one only a horny man like vox could make. "Your primary job will be to gather intel on that radio prick. I want to know his every move, his every plan. What he eats. Where he sleeps. What his favorite color is. What time he goes to sleep. What his hooves look like-"
"But sir—" Husker began, his voice tinged with hesitation.
Vox's eyes narrowed, his patience wearing thin. "Do not even try to negotiate with me on this," he warned, his voice laced with a dangerous edge. "I own your soul" He reminded.
Husker's shoulders slumped, defeated. "Okay," he muttered, his voice barely audible. It would be fine. He saw Alastor once the entire day anyway and that was when he needed to break his tech. He wouldn't even get the opportunities to gather intel anyway.
"good" Vox turned away, his mind already racing with schemes and plots. He had been blindsided by Alastor once, but this time would be different. He would have his dear Alastor tied up and begging for mercy!
~
"and that concludes today's exercises! you're free to go about your days as usual now!" Charlie clapped, signaling everyone's dismissal. She turned to huskers and called out before they could leave "Huskers, may I have a moment?"
"yes, your... highness?"
Charlie chuckled, shaking her head. "Just Charlie," she corrected, her warm smile putting Huskers slightly at ease. "You know we have rooms at the hotel for you to stay at, right? I think it would be beneficial for all of us if you were available as soon as we started, and if it's something you'd like?"
Huskers' shoulders slumped and they sighed. "I mean, it's not entirely up to me, Princess. I'd have to consult with my boss first," They explained. It wouldn't be everyday that Vox showed mercy.
Charlie's expression turned thoughtful, and she nodded understandingly. "Alright, we'll let you talk it out with him and hopefully we can get you here!"
Charlie's excitement died down quickly though, realizing that due to short staff (literally), they were out of rooms where people could actually survive. "Unfortunately, we only have one empty and clean room at the hotel right now, and it's up with our marketing staff."
Huskers eyes lit up. The marketing staff? That's Nunalastor!
"And they tend to get messy at nigh-"
"I'll do it!" they far too quickly accepted, not wanting to miss the opportunity. "I don't mind at all. I'd love to take the room! I'm sure nu-the marketing staff are lovely!" they chuckled nervously, making it way too obvious what their intentions were.
Charlie, bless her heart, either didn't notice or didn't mention it. Her eyes sparkled with joy. "Wow, such enthusiasm! See, I knew I was right about you!"
~
Alastor hummed to himself as he traveled up the stairs. He couldn't help but overhear huskers little interaction with charlie and he just couldn't let the opportunity for some chaos and fun pass. He approached the door to Dickmasters and Nuns room and knocked thrice. Some thumping could be heard on the other side before the door opened in front of him.
Dickmaster answered "yes?"
"greetings, cohorts" Alastor greeted with that charming smile of his. Both Nun and Dickmaster collectively rolled their eyes.
"do you mind? we're in the middle of a fucking..." Dickmaster trailed off.
"we are not fucking, they're just too dumb to finish that sentence" Nun shouted from behind the room. The fact that they were sprawled across the bed in nothing but a shirt on wasn't helping the situation.
Alastor chose to not comment on it. He didn't care. His eyes gleamed with mischief as he began to speak "I have a favor. you see this new resident of ours is here to make my life miserable. I can hear vox's pathetic begging almost from across the pentagram, and they're a spy of his. I'm sure of it, however I don't view them as a threat"
Dickmaster raised a brow, unamused. "uhm, congrats? what's that gotta do with us?"
Alastor chuckled, leaning in font of them, hands resting on his cane. "oh, nothing much. I simply ask that you make their life miserable with your charming little quirks"
Nun and Dickmaster exchanged glances, contemplating Alastor's request. It wouldn't be hard and could prove to be quite entertaining. Plus, Nun wanted to stick it to that guy for some reason. After a brief silence, they smirked and nodded. "oh, will do at some point. What's in it for us though?"
"Entertainment"
"that's hardly a fair deal"
"By the looks of things, that isn't going to stop you." Alastor doesn't wait for a response and starts to melt away into his shadow. "they'll be staying in the room across from you." is the words he left with.
"fuck that guy with his own cane, seriously"

i'm on track to put the most amount of work into the least read fics for International Fanworks Day and Femslash February this year, but i finished one extremely niche project (fanfic of a fanfic...) and am decently far along on what has got to be one of the most ambitious fics i've attempted lol (considering some of the stuff i've written, that's saying a lot). i'll just say that it's testing my pro wrestling match literacy more than any project i've attempted so far...
i also tried something WILDLY different, which is that i wrote my first story in Japanese! i've written a few senryu poems before, but that's the only thing i'd written in Japanese besides answers to textbook questions and like tweets and DMs.
a friend shared a link to Galette's (an independent yuri magazine) call for submissions for 「140文字の百合」 ("140 character yuri"), and i ended up deciding on a whim to attempt to write something. my vocab knowledge specializes so heavily in pro wrestling, though, i feel like that's sort of all i'm able to write about with any degree of confidence, so that's what i wrote lol.
i got a few friends who are fluent or near fluent to look at my story just to make sure the grammar and such was generally correct, and then i worked up the courage to ask a Japanese friend on twitter to look at it for me haha and help me make sure that it sounded natural.
my friend liked my story and only had a few tweaks to suggest, which is encouraging! i ended up being glad i tried it because it was fun for both of us.
i can't post the story here haha because i'm trying to honor the submission rules, but i'll try to remember to share it in three months. i highly doubt mine will get selected for publication in the magazine, but it's fun writing with such a tight constraint like that.
i told my friend i was going to try writing one with asexual characters next, so i've tentatively committed to attempting to write another one around may!
what else have i been up to...
i actually have been pretty caught up on my TJPW translations!! i've been doing great with time management lately, which is unusual for me lol. i'm trying to work on them for 1.5-2 hours every day until the translation is finished. then when i don't have a translation i'm working on, i've been trying to use that time for just reading in Japanese.
i started Dungeon Meshi a few days ago haha because i have an insane plan to read the first 9 volumes (+2 chapters of volume 10) and then pick up Harta volume 75 and read the whole magazine (including Dungeon Meshi chapters) from there lol. we have an informal book club going for Harta in the wanikani forum, and i got easily talked into participating, but my friend convinced me to hold off on reading the Dungeon Meshi chapters unless i was caught up (to the point where Harta 75 picks up at), so i decided i'll just get caught up first and then start Harta lol.
i was kind of worried about the difficulty level of Dungeon Meshi because i heard it had loads of relatively uncommon vocab, but i ran my digital copy of it through mokuro, and it parsed it really well, so i've found it to honestly be kind of a breeze to read, though it is a pretty wordy series, so i'm not flying through 100 pages in a day or anything like that.
the vocab is def somewhat hard, but instant lookups make that not an issue (and i can read almost all the kanji, so it's easy to look stuff up manually when mokuro makes a mistake). honestly the grammar feels generally pretty easy to me? easier than some of the dialects i've gotten stumped by in "easier" manga lol, that's for sure.
i'm really enjoying the manga so far! it's triggering a lot of my nostalgia for D&D, and i'm finding the story engaging and refreshingly different, and the art is really good. the illustrations are super clear, which is really helpful when you're trying to read in a language you're not super proficient in.
i'm wondering if it'll help me get better at reading recipes in the Japanese cookbook i own, haha. the ingredients lists in my real cookbook look almost exactly like this lol (and a lot of cooking verbs are also helpfully illustrated in the manga)

Thoughts on Wakko's Wish
I watched the movie a while ago, wasn't gonna make a post on my thoughts on it but I've already given some thoughts on both the original show and the reboot so why not Wakko's Wish at this point? Tis the season after all.
Here we go:
-It's great to see TMS animations again, after they started animating less episodes of the show after season 3-and thanks to the bigger budget it looks better than ever!
-Loved the call-backs to specific one-off lines/gags from the show, Slappy mentions having arthritis like in her first segment, Yakko mentions Dot's acting lessons (I'm pretty sure that was first mentioned in "Big Candy Store"? It was definitely mentioned in one of the first episodes), Wakko shakes Pip's hand with a fake hand like he did in "Chairman of the Bored", etc.
-Slappy felt too mellow, is it just me or was she less cranky here? Which is weird considering the premise of the movie. She didn't throw a single bomb (and that can't be because of censors because there are other explosives in the movie), and she even sung! I thought she didn't like singing? (Although to be fair she did sing a little bit in season 5). Well she didn't get much screen time and spent most of it interacting only with Skippy, who she gets along with the most, so I guess that's why.
-Honestly I kinda like that she sung though, it helps the film seem conclusive, other characters have completed "arcs" too, Buttons gets rewarded (and he spoke as well, which was...a little cursed...why is his voice that deep?!), we see the back of Mindy's mom's head, Mindy actually calls her "Mom", Brain gets into a position of power, Rita and Runt finally find a home, Wheel of Morality actually gives a moral that makes sense, etc.
-Speaking of, it's really nice to see Rita and Runt back after they were essentially booted off the show after season 1. AND they got more screen time than I expected (I'm pretty sure they got more than Slappy ad Skippy did, at least). Would've liked it if Minerva Mink also had more screen time like they did, but oh well. I like that Scratchansniff became their owner at the end, didn't see that coming.
-It's kinda weird the Goodfeathers don't show up until really late into the film (about 40 minutes into a 75 minute long film). I must admit...I didn't even notice their absence. Once they did show up I thought "Oh yeah. They haven't shown up yet, have they?" I'm still convinced writers didn't know what to do with them after season 2.
-I do like how Wakko's character didn't rely on eating. Like, that's literally his main gimmick in the show but his love of eating is barely mentioned throughout the film, instead focusing more on his optimism, naivety and kindness. It's a refreshing take on his character, in fact, this film might be my favourite depiction of Wakko! Although he's still naive, he feels less dumb in the movie compared to the show. I think that carried over to the reboot (seriously, does anyone else think he seems slightly smarter in the reboot than in the original show? He's still no genius, but still, I like it).
-Although I do wish Yakko contributed more to the movie. Wakko gets the plot moving by making the wish, Dot serves as the motive, saves the Warners from being executed AND distracted everyone for long enough for Wakko to reach the Wishing Star, whilst Yakko... sure was there. Yeah he came up with a plan to fool King Salazar and avoid execution but...it basically doesn't work. It just pads out the film for a couple minutes. At most his scenes where he tells Dot the story add heart to the film, but again Dot is the catalyst for those scenes, not Yakko. It's a little disappointing that my favourite Warner contributes probably the least to the film out of the three. Thankfully, it's still Yakko, so as usual he had stellar quips and some of the best jokes in the movie, so it's not like he wasn't a joy to watch. Just wish he did more.
-Dot's "death" might be the only death cop out/fake out (you know the ones, a character dies then comes back to life in like 5 minutes, or they make you think the character is dead but reveal they're alive almost immediately, those ones) in any movie that I actually like, mostly because it's ACTUALLY a fake out in universe. Subversive, AND comedic!
-The songs are okay, but the show has done much better. Plus a lot of them are kinda samey-sounding and are about the same thing(s) over and over again and don't really have the same Broadway-style vibe a lot of the songs in the show do. I get that that was most likely the intention...I don't really like the intention.
-I appreciate this film wants to have heart and be more wholesome than the show, but (at least for what I expect from Animaniacs) it's a little cheesy. Not unbearably so, but this film seems to be trying very hard to appeal to kids, with song lyrics like "Just cheer up and never ever give up hope. Hope hope hope hope!", the bedtime story scene, etc. I know the show can have its sweeter moments, but those were used sparingly, and weren't quite as...I'll go with juvenile. Like, even in comparison to "There's Only One of You", for example, that had lyrics like "In fact you're kind of weird" to give an otherwise pretty wholesome song a little bit of an edge that saves it from being too saccharine. I know the franchise is for kids, but an undeniably large part of its appeal is how it caters towards kids and adults. Again, I don't hate these moments, I'm just not used to an Animaniacs project being written in such a way.
-I still think Hooray for North Hollywood would've worked better as the finale. The show used meta humour all the time, so having their first movie be about the Warners trying to make a movie seems like the perfect premise! And Wakko's Wish isn't too long, it's 75 minutes, I feel like it could be trimmed to be about 44 minutes for an hour long TV special. Given that the setting and time period is completely different from the show, I don't think it's the ideal way to end the show. It feels somewhat conclusive with the call backs and completion of characters' "arcs", but that stuff would've been so much better if they happened within the world of the show.
Alright, those are all the thoughts I have on the film that are interesting enough AND haven't been repeated over and over and again by other people. Overall, I liked it! It's a solid movie. I don't love it, especially not as a finale, but it's not bad for their very first movie. Once I finish season 2 of the reboot (which I am LOVING so far), I'll watch the Pinky and the Brain spin-off, and whilst I don't currently intend to, I'll probably end up writing my thoughts on that too because I can't stop thinking about this franchise and have an incessant need to immortalise my thoughts....
...
...Merry Christmas!

Some thoughts I have about the first episode of the bad batch:
If you haven't watched it yet, please don't read, ****SPOILER ZONE*****
•
•
•
•
I had a few problems with the episode in regards to crosshair and caleb, but overall it was good. I'll try and keep this short and hopefully make it make sense, but no promises.
The two problems I had:
The Canon for Kanan (Caleb Dume)
For anyone that has read the Kanan comic, we know of how he escaped order 66. The bad batch were not in the comic, nor were they even mentioned at the time. They had nothing to do with the Kaller battle before and after order 66 in the comic. This made me a bit confused since the comic is Canon and it was published during the time rebels was around. So if lucasfilm changed a part of kanan's backstory for the bad batch, does this mean we should disregard the comic's existence? Or at least try to fit the events in The bad batch with the comic's Canon?
The comic went in-depth to show how Kanan came to be with his master, the relationship he had with his clone troopers (such as styles and grey, who are very key characters in the comic) as well as how he survived and adapted during the time of the early empire when he was still a kid.
I honestly hope that the comic isn’t removed from canon, since I think it does a great job at telling kanan’s backstory. To just get rid of characters like grey, styles, and Kasmir is a waste.
I just wish lucasfilm would’ve taken this into consideration before thrusting Caleb and Depa into this. Out of everywhere in the galaxy, why Kaller? Don’t get me wrong, it’s cool to see kid Kanan animated, but seeing how the clone battalion isn’t in their usual red, but green, it just seems weird, as well as the situation and how Kanan just knew that he could call the bad batch for help knowing that Five clones would get the job done as opposed to a battalion.
(Little sidenote: I found caleb a bit weird looking. He just...didn't look like caleb. I liked depa's design though, but Caleb's looked wonky, not to mention him looking whitewashed. I love that they got Freddie to voice him again, but they shouldve just stuck with a kid. I get puberty and all but his voice just seemed way too deep. I'm probably nit-picking but this is just me)
Crosshair being turned into the bad guy
I was hoping for the whole “Cody hunts the bad batch theory” instead of crosshair. I never expected crosshair to obey order 66 and not question any order Tarkin issued as opposed to the rest of his crew. To just turn him into the bad guy and not give him time to at least show that he actually has a bit of free will from the chip and can question orders just like the other members of the bad batch irks me. I mean look at captain rex, in the finale he literally hesitated to shoot Ahsoka. He tried to fight the chip and he’s not an enhanced clone.
I honestly hope that crosshair will get some sort of redemption. I do feel he might get redeemed in some sort of “life or death” battle near the finale where he sacrifices himself for the bad batch to escape some situation, but I hope there’s some other way to redeem him that won’t cause his death (even tho i 60% believe that the bad batch may die in the end. Not sure about omega because I doubt filoni would kill a child on screen).
Some extra thoughts I have (about omega)
FINALLY, I now know that omega is a female clone. Ive been wondering this for the longest time.
But I just wanna know, why? Why did the kaminoans make a female clone? I love omega with all my heart but I just need to know. Was there some mishap when the Kaminoans were making the baby clones? Or did they purposely make omega female?
Also I want to point out how omega was literally copying hunter’s mannerisms at certain points in the show. Could that be her enhanced clone ability? She copies the actions of anyone she sees/admires? She was mainly copying Hunter from what I’ve observed, and she’s already started to connect with him and trusts him....so could it be???
Not to mention when they were standing off against crosshair and his squad, omega fired a PERFECT shot towards him and later says she's never even used a blaster before.......
Listen i know clones are engineered to have the ability to adapt and learn more quickly than regular humans bUT STILL-
The kid has never touched a blaster. She's seen them firing it, yes, but she's never done it herself..... She.mimics.what.she.sees.
I am 75% convinced.
So yes, those were my thoughts. I can't wait for the next episode and I hope some questions I have are answered later on as the show progresses. If you made it this far, congrats, here is some cake🎂

2021 Books I’ve Read
49/75
A Little Something Different by Sandy Hall
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
My April reading challenge, "Love is in the Air" book 8
I can't think of a better way to review A Little Something Different, than to review it by each viewpoint.
•Maribel: The supportive, yet cautious friend. Maribel was the perfect roommate for Lea. She helped give Lea that extra spark she needed. Lea seemed pretty shy and quiet, but then Maribel came in and livened up her personality. Giving her that big sister push.
•Inga: The kind of professor I wish I had. I loved that she played matchmaker for her students, but based it on the assignments. Sneaky! And yet, appropriate.
•Bench: Maybe my favorite viewpoint? The bench didn't have any reason whether to care if Lea and Gabe ended up together or not. The Switzerland Party.
•Sam: Big Brother. There's no better way to describe Sam. He worried about Gabe, supported Gabe, took care of Gabe, but all while letting Gabe do his own thing.
•Squirrel: This view point was more random than the Bench, and I loved it! How wonderfully out of the box!
•Victor: Victor......The Villain. That's how I'd label him. I know, he's not a horrible person. But good Lord! Calm down buddy!
•Bob: I did a lot of "awwwwing" whenever I read Bob's viewpoint. How cute are him and his wife, gossiping about the people that get on his bus? And the way he sees Lea and Gabe. So sweet!
•Casey: Casey is the exact kind of friend Gabe needs! He brings out the best of Gabe, while also understand that he needs just a little time to do his own thing.
•Maxine: My favorite matchmaker out of the bunch!
•Danny: Fix your gaydar buddy! I get it, but.....he was doing his best to convince Lea that Gabe was gay. Not cool. Honestly, I was expecting a fall out. But instead, he had a happy ending?
•Pam: Ah yes, the power couple. I'd love a book from Igna and Pam's point of view, of each time Igna has played match maker for her students.
•Charlotte: The best character development? Maybe.
•Hillary: I imagine Regina George playing this role.
•Frank: Least necessary character, but I'm glad we had him. How cute were the awkward Chinese delivery moments?!
I know how cheesy "look at me for a second" is, but when I say my heart swooned to the moon and back!
