#if Tech and Echo had still been with the Batch I'm pretty sure he would've made them stay too

[star-farer]

I just realized that Fennec Shand has met only Hunter and Wrecker.

By telling Crosshair to stay on Pabu with Omega, Hunter wasn't just pushing his brother towards rest and recovery but also protecting him from any more potential enemies.

[questforgalas]

Sibling moments in the Bad Batch that live rent free in my head

S1E3 "Replacements"

Omega as youngest smallest sibling and getting the floor to sleep on

The shove backwards to have a sibling meeting about a sibling

Wrecker's second youngest energy

"Yeah add it to the list" as Echo casually noms on his ration bar

Tech COMPLETELY ignoring Echo as he rattles off about the ship's state LITERALLY RIGHT NEXT TO HIM

"Repairs would go faster if I had some help" combined with pointed head tilt and glare. A+ passive sibling sass Echo

"I thought you said they were defective?" Echo loves to call out Tech

"Getting thrown out of hyperdrive. I'd say that's pretty critical Tech." "It's not affecting life support. We are fine." "Are you kidding me?" Siblings 101: maintain sass levels at all times even when crashing towards a planet

Hunter's glare at Tech

Hunter's glance at Echo for support

Wrecker and Hunter both making sure Omega's strapped in

"We're gonna die we're gonna die we're gonna....be fine! We're gonna be fine"

THEIR CRESTFALLEN LOOKS WHEN OMEGA TAKES OUT CROSSHAIR'S KIT 😭😭😭

Allow me to go feral over over analyze this scene because it's one of the best examples of siblings confused and betrayed but still sad

Tech's sigh and frown deepening, eyes never leaving the kit

Hunter's deeeeep sigh and the way his shoulders sag

Hunter's glance away and eyebrow furrow when he says "Crosshair"

Echo's careful observation of Tech and Hunter

Echo's sad glance down when Hunter finishes explaining

Omega's big sad eyes 😭😭

Literally none of them take their eyes off of his kit

"I'll say it. I kinda miss 'im" and Tech immediately glances back down at the kit

Hunter's eyes softening and the brief nod he gives

"He shot you, remember?" "Ha! I sure do! That hurt!" Wrecker may be confused and hurt by Crosshair but he is still so proud and impressed by his sibling I cannot with him

The hope in Wrecker's voice and the hopeful glances they all share talking about the inhibitor chip

Hunter going full big brother mode focusing on the task at hand

Love the rollercoaster of going from soft, confused siblings to Tarkin experimenting on my fave. I want to throw a rock at his head

"Careful, those capacitors hold a massive charge" at the literal experimented genius. Echo is the sibling who needs to explain everything

"I'm a little busy at the moment"

Echo and Hunter both have the same tone and drawl when they say "Tech" in an exasperated way and that's hilarious

"That would've been good to know beforehand, Tech" Echo is so done with and also loves Tech so much

FUCK THAT LAST ONE REALLY HURTS NOW

"I'm part of this squad too now, right?" followed by Echo's shoulder shrug at Hunter like "I don't fucking know what else do we do with her?" was literally my siblings every time they had to babysit me

Hunter's "what's the worst that could happen?" shrug at Tech

Now for the scene that whenever someone says "Hunter doesn't care about Crosshair he never shows any emotion towards him" I will shove their face in the screen and make them watch until their little brains comprehend it

Little Omega copying everything Hunter does down to the same knee bend and finger sifting of the dirt

Omega asking a question every 10 seconds while Hunter is trying to complete a mission

"Can I learn to track like you?" BABES 😭

Hunter's glance back at "Crosshair" and the deep sigh he follows it with

His eyes widening and then turning down with sadness and some anger

Hunter's shoulder sagging sigh at "He can't help it"

"I'm angry at myself. We don't leave our own behind" someone sedate me

Hunter's determined nod after Omega says they'll find a way to get Crosshair back

Cut to the toothpick committing war crimes. IT'S FINE it's fine, he's just going through some things *anxiously sweats in Crosshair fan*

"I tracked the dragon, like you did" Omega is so precious dear god

"Is that my blaster?!" A+ older brother slightly concerned and slightly proud

Crosshair standing to glance around their barracks (keep in mind, last time we saw him enter them, he just shoved his way in, not giving anything a second glance, and in this shot we follow his gaze go across Tech and Hunter's bunks that still have their markings on them)

THE GLANCE DOWN AND PAUSE AT THE MISSIONS BOARD SERIOUSLY SOMEBODY SEDATE ME

Obviously all of these are solo and not actually interaction with the Batch, but Crosshair's slow walk to his bunk to be followed by a deep sigh and obvious look of contemplation/thinking on his face is 10000% him thinking about his brothers you cannot tell me anything differently because you are wrong they set it up for exactly that and the lone shot of him on his bunk, shoulders slumped and clearly defeated wrecks me

"Yeah took you long enough" Wrecker your brothers literally just fixed an entire ship

Hunter's fond and proud look at Wrecker as he unveils the room to Omega 😭😭

Just, like, Hunter that whole scene

Echo's tap on Wrecker's shoulder and his and Tech's approving glances at him

@healingskywalker here!

For the Bad Batch Ask Game: 14., 15, 40!

Hello there! Ooh those are good ones!!

14: When you first entered the fandom, who did you think was going to be your main man? (And were you correct?)

When I was first starting out with TBB automatically Tech was my favorite. I tend to go for whoever has glasses/is nerdy (I'm biased) so starting out Tech was my "main man." Also, I really liked his helmet! However, one day something flipped in my brain and now I'm a Wrecker whore. I have it bad for that man, and I don't know how I got here but I'd give everything for that man.

15: If you had to pick one Batcher who most needs to be given a bouquet of flowers (not who you most want to give it to), who would it be?

If it was who I wanted to give it to, it's Wrecker, obviously. But I think who needs one the most might be Echo. Either him or Crosshair but I enjoy teasing Crosshair, so I'm going to go with Echo. I just think that he deserves something pretty like a bouquet and I feel like it's something he would appreciate it. Not to mention, I'm sure he probably knows how to take care of it so that the flowers last as long as possible, so it would make giving it to him all the more worth it. It'll be my way of saying, "Hey, dude, relax a bit. Smell the flowers and all that," because the man needs a break.

40: Who is your least favorite Batcher?

Pfftt, like I have one. I love all non-Omegas and non-Wreckers equally. Jk, it's Crosshair. And it's literally only because I have a love/hate relationship with him where I love to hate him and I hate to love him kind of deal. He's been starting to grow on me these past couple of months unfortunately because I realized had TBB come out while I was in middle school, middle school me would've eaten that man alive. He is just the right amount of pathetic, misunderstood angsty man that middle school me would've been all over. Please do not come for me Crosshair girlies, I swear I still love the man.

Thanks for the asks! <3
