@limey-self-inserts LMAO RIGHT 😂😂 at least in the first season of the bad batch + like half of the second one, he remained like STUBBORNLY his worst self for a long while.

When I was talking about it with my partner, I was thinking about just how much of an ASSHOLE he was to Rex. And what he SAID to Rex about Echo during that arc in season 7 "I would have left him for dead too, after all he's just another reg" like BRO WHAT? That's why I hated him so much at first = _ = and that's also why I figured it's not out of the realm of possibility for him to say something like that to Brea! Maybe he didn't really mean what he said about Kep but he DEFINITELY just wanted to hurt Rex.

Like...I imagine he and Brea haven't been in contact for a while but he's been thinking about her this whole time you know? Maybe he's even thought about trying to reach out to her but his dumb pride doesn't let him, and then when they see each other again it's too late. Not sure how he finds out but she's clearly in love with Rex now, a REG, something Crosshair inherently dislikes but he now HATES. Not to mention when order 66 happens, Crosshair can feel that pull, less so than an unaltered clone but he still feels it and it's probably FUELED by his feelings of betrayal BY Brea. The jedi are traitors according to his coding, but she specifically betrayed HIM in his mind. And for THAT they must pay.

#jane journals #self insert talk #🎯 baby shot me down 🎯#NOW U CAN SEE THE HIDDEN MEANINGS BEHIND THIS SHIP TAG #UGH I HATE HIM SO MUCH 😡💖😡💖😡💖😡💖😡💖😡#its sooooo fun to think about this juicy angst tho!!#like i dont think shed go on the mission to retrieve echo WITH rex and them. i think she gets called elsewhere #but she was there to comfort rex and tell him he's doing the right thing #similarly to how padme did for anakin!#and maybe theyre hidden but not well hidden ENOUGH and crosshair sees them share a kiss or a loving touch #maybe through his periscope! or whatever its called on his rifle #and his heart SHATTERS #in his mind he keeps getting betrayed again and again tbh by brea THEN by his brothers by defecting from the empire #again hes just his WORST self the whole time #hes obsessive too i imagine that during a period of time where the boys are hanging out with brea post-order 66 they encounter each other #maybe crosshair even CAPTURES her #he probably tries to convince her she still has a chance and to turn herself into the empire. he can save her. get her a pardon #and he TOTALLY believes that cause hes still too stubborn to see that the empire doesnt ACTUALLY care about him #ofc she refuses and somehow escapes later shes reunited with rex yadda yadda #but the truth is deep down he STILL loves her despite the betrayal and despite her refusal #the way he still loves and misses his brothers despite them being TRAITORS as well #IM A YAPPER NOW SHJFJGG #i kept all this inside for a long while so thats why im letting it all out #you're welcome!
