#i love these animated boys so much

Favorite sibling moments that made me fall in love with The Bad Batch during their TCW Arc - "On the Wings of Keeradaks"

Literally just this moment while they once again face down a battalion of droids

**

Crosshair seamlessly avoiding the droid Wrecker picked up and swung around anticipating what Wrecker would do

Crosshair again avoiding a droid Wrecker throws behind him while they guard the door and throwing a look at Wrecker before resuming shooting

Wrecker's soft smile at Rex and Echo's reunion 😭 (let him have Crosshair back and let us have an entire episode that is the squad's reunion please TBB writers I'm begging you)

"Great, now how do we get up there" "Oh I can help with that!" immediately grabs Hunter and throws him in the air

"A heads up would've been nice!"

"Well I hope there's a ship we can steal" "Let's hope this trip isn't for nothing" Echo already meshing with the sibling sass

"That's fine, but if you fall don't take me with you"

(Oh not, that last one really hurts now doesn't it)

"Oh no, I looked" followed by Tech's eye roll

Hunter encouraging Wrecker across the beam

Wrecker no hesitation jumping to grab Crosshair as he falls when he literally 15 seconds earlier was panicking about how high up they were (A+ choice by the creators)

"I do have a brilliant idea" "I'm hanging here!" Sibling 101: sass opportunities must be taken even when dangling above an abyss

(Oh no, these new parallel realizations are really starting to hurt)

"He records everything. It's a hobby" Sibling 101: all opportunities to mock your sibling must be taken regardless of the situation you're in

Crosshair's trust in Wrecker to hold him so much that he continues to shoot and take down droids even while dangling above an abyss being held by the ankle

"How else? We jump?" Echo's eyes as he processes what Tech just said

the knife throw Wrecker executes to Hunter so Hunter's dual-wielding (literally have watched this arc countless times and I just caught that, so freaking cool)

THE SHOULDER TOUCH AND NOD CROSSHAIR GIVES ECHO SAYING "HEY YOU OK? HANGING IN THERE?"

The bridal carry to throw Wrecker and Hunter execute 😂😂

While Tech translates to the Poltec's Crosshair looks at him with a smile in the background

Sometimes you just have one of those moments where the progress we've made as a culture get thrown into stark relief. You look at something and go "Holy shit, that would never have happened when I was a kid."

Today, I had one of those moments when I realized that the teenage boys I'm working with are just. genuinely, openly enthusiastic about going to Build-a-Bear for their outing.

These are sixteen and seventeen year old boys! They just had a whole conversation about what to name their "cute", mostly new squishmallows! They're genuinely excited that they're going to Build-a-Bear this weekend and asking other kids to pick up specific accessories for them!!

Holy shit, that never would've happened when I was 16. None of the boys would have dared to be visibly interested - and neither would most of the girls! There would have been a million gay jokes and "Haha, you're a girl" jokes and "What are you, a baby?" jokes. Teenagers weren't even supposed to care about anything back then!

Less than 15 years later, and I'm watching three 17 year old boys treat all that as not even worthy of comment.

So let's call that a reason for hope. Even when the kids aren't alright, in some ways apparently they are alright. Go Gen Z, honestly. It's so lovely to watch you guys just openly doing and saying stuff that, when I was a teen, would've been a social death sentence.

Favorite sibling moments that made me fall in love with The Bad Batch during their TCW Arc - "Unfinished Business"

Not nearly as much screen time with the Batch this episode, but some of the greatest gems (if ya know, ya know)

"Please tell me we are blowing something up" Hunter's very subtle chuckle

Crosshair narrowing his eyes at Anakin like "please for the love of god just let him blow something up"

Hunter and Crosshair's looks between each other when Hunter says "And the regs think we take risks"

"Tech, can you rig an interface?" "I assume that's a rhetorical question" Tech babe he's only been around you for a day stop sassing your future bestie

The teamwork between Tech and Echo while rigging the signal - they weren't even a squad yet but they flowed together so seamlessly

Hunter and Tech's looks when Echo explains his plan

"Was there ever any doubt?" "Some" TECH. HON. 😂 Be nice to your future bestie!

Wrecker handing Hunter his rifle with no words and Hunter accepting it because he knows what's about to happen

"Time to release the wrecking ball!" "Honestly, I feel bad for those droids"

They literally cannot be more proud of each other's abilities and skills it kills me

"Ohhh! He's gonna try and top me. You watch!" again, sibling competition combined with the little chuckle during "You watch!" - he's so proud of Crosshair

"You miss me?"

"RELAX WRECKER YOU'LL TOP HIM NEXT TIME" "NO HE WON'T" i 👏 love 👏 them 👏 so 👏 much

(please please Jennifer I'm begging you, give them back to me)

Crosshair's hand-on-the-hip head shake as Anakin hands Wrecker the detonator

The seamless sentence add-ons when Echo asks them why they're not following the Jedi

Tech's smile growing bigger as Crosshair and Wrecker speak

Hunter's constant look of fondness at his brothers (I actually cannot handle it anymore I need them back together)

Wrecker and Tech's warm smiles at Echo as Hunter invites him to join the squad

CROSSHAIR'S SMILE AND NOD AT ECHO WHEN HUNTER SAYS "well, find us"

(listen, I'm such a Crosshair softy and especially when he was going down the arc he was in season 1, I admittedly dug up and grasped onto anything I could to prove that he loved his brothers and the empire arc wasn't permanent for him so yes that moment when I caught it during a rewatch really stuck out to me)

(I also grasp onto anything happy to counter the sadness in Rex's face as he walks away from Echo ok?)

Moral of the story: JENNIFER AND BRAD I WILL GIVE YOU ANYTHING TO HAVE THIS DYNAMIC BACK I CANNOT BEG YOU ENOUGH

Wow wow wow this really made me miss these boys and love and appreciate them even more even though we're literally only 4 days after season 2 ending. Thinking I'm going to do a whole TBB series rewatch and do this for each episode and then schedule the posts weekly. That'll at least be 30 weeks of positive TBB content and possibly ease the ache a little

Waittt, what did you mean with your last post?? I don't want to spoil myself so I'm waiting for the nightmare before christmas event to arrive on the eng server before diving deep into the wiki. But I HAVE to know; were there hints of Lilia joining in for a rerun or a sequel ??? Your big "OR IS IT???" filled me with way too much hope !! please tell me it wasn't a bit : (

there was a little teaser at the end that implied there'll be a sequel event, though we don't really know anything beyond that! I do think it's likely we'll get the other half of the cast in it, even if it's just wishful thinking on my part. 🤞🤞 NIGHTMARE SUITS FOR EVERYONE!!!!

as far as I know there's been no confirmation on whether it's going to be next year's Halloween event or a separate thing (the snow makes me think it'll be more Christmas-themed, or otherwise more related to the plot of the original movie) so. we're probably going to have to wait quite a while before we find out anything solid. :') they really do love just dropping these things on us and then watching us go absolutely wild with speculation while they watch like
