#the bad batch ost

[renton6echo]

"Omega's Theme" from The Bad Batch season 1 soundtrack just popped up on my playlist and my heart lurched and I got a little teary.

Our young girl has come so far and seen so much.

I'm sure, whatever happens in the series finale, it will end with an iteration of this theme that will be a combination triuimpant, melancholy and hopeful.

My body is not ready.

WARNING ! SPOILERS for TLOVM season 3 and Campaign 1

I'm a bit sad with all the negativity in the tlovm tags following this new batch of episodes. Because all the usual appreciation and fun details pointing is drown in it. So I'll do my part and draw some light and appreciation for the following things:

"Allura can't teleport us 'cause we mind wind up in the ocean" Nice nod

The beauty of Glintshore sand? crystals ? I mean, I know the entire island isn't covered in it, but it's there and it's gorgeous

Vax and Grog banter, Pike and Vax friendship when she stole his badass line. Who says that the friendships in tlovm are not showed ? It's smaller because they're running out of time but if you keep both eyes open, you can catch the small moments.

How good was the delirium gas ?

Percy having bad Ripley PTSD ?Check.

Orthax forcing the (gas) mask on Percy's face ? Oh f*ck me that was so good.

Elaina's first appearence and Vex's heart torment ? Check

Vex fighting the gas messing with her mind and seeing Percy getting kidnapped ? Great

Her seeing Percy devoured by some hellish pain ? Awesome foreshadowing for Orthax feeding on Percy's soul

I won't dwell too much on ep 7 because I'm Perc'ahlia trash and this was pure gold but ALL their scenes.

And these two shots:

They're the last thing they think about before passing out. And look at them, they're looking at each other. Great parallels, great cinematography

You want more parallels ? You're not in enough pain ? I've got more ! How about this ?:

Percy cradling Vex because he doesn't want to lose her.

Vex cradling Percy because she lost him

MY HEART !!!!!!

Anyways back to our regular program: The color scheme in the factory is on point. Predominance of green during all Ripley's discussion with percy, some blasts of orange for Orthax.

This shot when they want to make us think Percy will go dark but also because he sincerly understand. He sees with her (green) eyes

Culminating in theses shots:

In the end, the true Percy is good (he's blue which is both his color and Vex's)

Then we got some nice Pike and Kiki character development with the delirium gas

Percy's fight with Ripley is pure display of his capacities and wits, not unlike Vex's fight against Saundor or Grog's fight against Kevdak. The fights with nemesis are always awesome, well choreographed and both characters and animators flexing.

And I like Grog's delirium both beacause it brings a bit of comic relief in this big painful episode but that's not all there is. Because when he gets out of it, he asks Pike if he hurt her again and you can't convince me that he didn't saw Craven Edge and the pain he inflicted Pike in his PTSD (not showed but we know)

Onto episode 8, love the Stilben flashback and the dead mystic cult leader being Taliesin.

The funeral was powerful and beautiful. The highlights being Cassandra crying her last family member and Vex'ahlia not saying the prayer despite being one of the Dawnfather.

Scanlan putting Kaylie's song music sheet on the altar for Percy breaks my heart. For him, he lost both of them and also he traded the life of his friend for moments with Kaylie (which he didn't even had, that's so sad)

Vox Machina assembling all of their allies with the beautiful OST was awesome while conserving this... heaviness. We're still grieving (at least I'm still am)

Vex and Syldor whole convesrsation. Laura Bailey, the talented woman you are and Troy Baker did a great job at humanizing him. though he's still a prick.

Vaxleth and Pikelan scenes were cute

We've got LARKIN mentioned and by Vax nonetheless !

Earthbreaker Groon and Grog doing the slapping hands/muscles flexing meme !

How brutal Thordak's attacks are in ep 8 and 9, all the people dying to rise up the stakes worked really well in my opinion.

Travis smarts piercing through Grog's 6 INT just like in the campaign

Earthbreaker Groon being a BAMF with that suplex

The teamwork going strong during all the fight

Zahra and Kash coming in to save the day. I love them your honor

My jaw dropped at Kashaw's badass magical attack. THAT WAS AWESOME and dropped further at his death. I couldn't believe it at first and as bold as a choice it was, I really liked it. Because it's a thing to kill NPC nameless army guys but killing a beloved character: that take some balls . And because of the unpredictability, the shock hit. I'm always here for the drama and it was beautifully done (the visuals for the Raven Queen and her powers are always as gorgeous as ominous).

Mary Elizabeth McGlynn also showing off her VA talent

In the end, every VM members getting his moment of glory :

Vex with getting the Syngorn army while being at her lowest/rock bottom ("The truth is the only bargaining chip at rock bottom", really nice parallels with the Stillben flashback + her using Percy's philosophy)

Grog destroying the lair

Scanlan getting them out of there at the peril at his life and ending up in a coma (nice subversion so there are not two dead party members followed up by two ressurections)

Keyleth being her badass elemental self (with her two gorgeous muscial leitmotives "blinded by the light" + "passing through the fire")

Pike being able to absorb Thordak -not red but- blue fire/laser which we saw went through Emon like butter. That's one MONSTAH move with beautiful beautiful colors (red yellow and blue mixing) look at this shot:

And Vax having the last kill, thinking of his mother doing this for Emon sure but most important for his mom, Vex and himself and what a beautiful shot and power move with the twisting golden and black torpedo that he is.

A great powerful death for a great powerful foe

And then some sorrow and sweetness. The Vaxleth back hug was adorable.

And that last shot of Keyleth after the confrontation with Raishan makes me long for more and to already be next week.

And that's some positivity and appreciation of CR work because they pour their heart and soul into these series and these characters and it's beautiful and I see it. I hope I could put some light on it at my small scale.

Have a great day and let's wait impatiently for next week and end of season 3

[strigeart]

Thank you very much, I'm not colour blind. My colours sensibility is 99% (I have just some problem whit some pale shade of green).

You say there are no signs of tanning on in the skin in the comic. There are not even signs of the almost deadly wound he received in the comic, there are any at all, and you know why?

Because, unless it is not specifically required in the screenwriting, the artist will do everything omogeneous to avoid mistakes in the future panels. It's very easy to forget a scar or a brush. You don't know how many times I forgot to draw something in a page and had to open the file to add it later.

Usually, you don't have the time to do so, so you draw it the simpler and omogeneous you can, to make the work simpler and faster.

The palette in the comic is very dark and desaturated, and Kanan has black hair!!!!

You can't use it as an example. Take the covers, maybe, but not certainly the panels, where the colours are all that relevant.

In Rebels Kanan, hairs are chestnut, not black. In the comic, they are black. That should close the case of the affidability of the comic as proof.

In The BB Caleb hair are the same colour of Kanan in Rebels.

The models don't show signs of tanning because, when you do a model, you use texture to color them, also, they literally wear always the same clothes. Kanan don't even have scars or bruises after 3 weeks (supposed) of tortures on Tarking Destroyer.

The colour of Kanan skin is one of a mild tanning. Is the same colour my husband gets in summer, and he's really pale.

Why I assumed you are American ? Because only Americans call people POC, to divide humans in races is something only them and other very racist populations do.

I have a friend from Tunisia who's the most pale person you can imagine. One of my classmate at art school had almost a transparent skin, natural p,atinum hair and very pale blue eyes, another have a pale rose skin, hair the colour of honey and ice grey eye. I'm often mistaken as Arabic in summer.

You say you are Mediterranean, but you remember me a girl who said "I'm Greek because my grandmother was from Greece and I can assure you Greek population is black!"

Ancient Greek, as already told you, define themselves as white, do did the Romans. All the Indo-European populations are white, and they are so since the beginning of history (that canonical starts from the invention of cuneiform writing).

There is a significant raise in pigmentation that only passed the equator. Up the equator, around the Mediterranean basin, you just find people who tan.

There may be some case of people who had darker pigmentation because of the South Saharian ancestor, but they are not the norm.

There aren’t such things as a brown person in the Mediterranean basin. That's just a racist concept that aims to create differences where there are none.

Caleb in TBB, in the winter environments of Kaller, is perfectly coherent with the Kanan who pass most of his time in the Middle East like planet of Lothal, where the sun is stronger!

You are just searching racism where there are none, proving to be racist yourself, classifying people regarding the shade of their skin.

Please, come to Italy and take a look at a foundation shelf. You'll find an amount of shade to drive you mad, and they're almost all for white skin. Just lately you can find some for black skin because immigrations during the last decades.

i will never get over this

[swan-orpheus]

Is anyone else out there reeling from all of the news and then stopping abruptly in their tracks thinking, “Okay, okay, sure but where the f**** is Cody??Is he alright??”

o.o

[eggslamwich]

Mmmmm If you're still doing character opinions: Mohg!

It's Mohging time

🩸favorite thing about them

Mohg probably has my favorite design and overrall presentation in the game. Everything about him in the fight is so memorable, from his music to his shapes and clothes to his arena. He's probably one of the best bosses in terms of the fight too. (He's not my favorite fight tho, that's still probably Placidusax)

🩸least favorite thing about them

How the dlc in a way just kind of removed any agency he had. I feel like we know nothing about who Mohg actually was since the Miquella brainwashing twist was dropped. As #problematic as we thought vanilla Mohg was it was at least something.

🩸favorite line

"NIHIL! NIHIL! NIHIIIIIIIIIIL!!!!!"

I quote it on the regular, like "Oh dear it's almost nihil time of the month."

🩸brOTP

Mohg and Varre! I love Mohg having a weird little freak who hangs out with him as his right hand man. More villains should have a weird little freak right hand men.

🩸OTP

Honestly they're both Mohg oc ones. Both @velvet-apricots Meira and @bowietea's Mistress in my heart are Mohg's true loves.

🩸nOTP

Mohg and Miquella :c

🩸random headcanon

Mohg's dynasty and fixation on Miquella comes from him either idolizing or being insecure regarding Godwyn. Miquella and Godwyn were pretty close and somewhat similar, Mohg's dynasty being named Mohgwyn. I heacanon Godwyn is actually the youngest of the Godfrey/Marika batch, and I think Mohg's fixation on Godwyn comes from him being everything he wants to be: charismatic, conventionally handsome, loved by all.

(too bad the dlc crushed that headcanon but a man can dream)

🩸unpopular opinion

Continuing on from the least favorite thing I think Mohg "beating the allegations" made him less interesting of a character.

🩸song i associate with them

I'm gonna be super lame but his in game ost because it is THE Mohg song

🩸favorite picture of them

waiting for the Kiner fam to drop Part 1 of the Bad Batch S3 soundtrack/score any second now

I have laughed, cried and loved. I’m staying forever positive about the show regardless of people’s opinions and won’t be leaving the fandom anytime soon. ❤️

[robins-treasure]

Heyo! @stars-n-spice here with asks for the Bad Batch Ask Game!

2, 10, 14, 27, & 44 🩵💫

Hello, sorry for the late response!

Bad Batch Ask Game

2. Who was your favorite Batcher going into the show? Who is it now?

When I first saw the Batch, Hunter was my number one favorite. I loved his personality and his story in the first season. He still is a favorite of mine. Wrecker became another favorite sometime later. I think it started on the episode where he was controlled by the inhibitor chip. Maybe it was because he reminded me of another big strong, but nice character I love from another show who got mind controlled. But I love every single moment with Wrecker.

10. If you could write an episode for the show, what would it be about?

I'm not really sure how to answer this one. I think if I had to choose, it would be an alternative route when it came to CX-2, like maybe show the audience who he really was during another fight sequence with the Batch or just Crosshair. (Whether it be Tech, Cody, or another clone)

14. Your ideal date/hang out day with a Batcher of your choice.

I have to go with Wrecker and Omega. I want to eat a carton of mantell mix with them after a successful mission! XD

27. What is your favorite track from the OST?

I can't pick just one! XD I have a few favorites!

Omega's Theme

Leaving Kamino

Need More Speed

Senator in Danger

Where I Fit

Mayday

The Sacrifice

Daily Routine

Reunion

They Always Work It Out

CX-2

Battle of the Snipers

I'm sure there will be more favorites once the second volume of the third season's soundtrack is released.

44. Which Batcher are you trusting with your life?

All of them.

[soriwoodsbliss]

wish i had a better excuse for using tumblr every once in a blue moon besides "i forgot"and "i sleepy"

ANYWAY

a) bad batch riyo chuchi sighting mwah

2) i have acquired bungo stray dogs manga in their complete and beautiful copies. over the course of a year i have slowly acquired volume by volume and now the shelf resides complete

3) in related bsd mayoi news I got [demon snow] kyouka, [mafia boss] chuuya and [rashomon] akutagawa so YAYYY as well as 2 event tachihara cards YAYY, I am well on my way to spending all my day playing totl/conquering the port town in vibrant color even with my 9 remaining moons bc i save up only to spend them all on impulse. (I think the game is apologizing bc i went like 2 weeks with 0 ssr's and my friend was restraining me from buying moons)

4) yes the fanfic is still being written. yes it was awkward when my mother said "what are you writing" and i said "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh."

5) how has the bad batch killed so many people on screen it is a CHILDREN's SHOW

6) barnes and noble had moriarty the patriot vol 11 and bsd wan vol 4 early so i can rest gleefully now

that's all folks, i will take questions, but promptly forget to answer them and fall asleep to the bungo stray dogs ost.
