the way his hands tighten around her and his eyes are closed

For real though, it’s so on brand that the first thing Crosshair does when he meets Tech’s girlfriend is almost fight her

My favorite part of this episode was Phee meeting Crosshair and immediately giving him shit

when I say I could write a ten page essay on the heartbreaking themes in this episode, i’m being completely serious.

crosshair refused to let mayday d!3, but it happened in front of his eyes anyway.

the way his voice sounds when he’s begging them to save him will literally make me sob for days.

Spoiler for TBB season 2!

WAS I THE ONLY ONE WHO ABSOLUTELY ADORED THIS EPISODE HNNGGGG

As a Hunter girly, I was starving there for a minute, I’m ngl, but all is well now because I got to have smartass, snappy, grumpy Hunter who did NOT want to go for the treasure and descend into the ominous death tunnel.

CAN WE TALK ABOUT HOW HUNTER FELT THE PRESENCE OF THE ANIMAL THING AND HE WAS GOING FOR HIS BLASTER BECAUSE THAT DID SOMETHING TO ME. I was like, clutching my pearls and shit. Swinging my feet and twirling my hair. That was hot. Need more of Hunter and his enhanced senses. Please.

The mech looked so frickin cool, I love it sm. Also!! What if all of that was ancient Rakata technology? I feel like it was being hinted at- predates the republic, thousands+ years old, and a murderous, insanely powerful war machine used to purge worlds. Frickin cool. Mwah.

Hunter twirling his knife my beloved I’m so glad you returned. It’s the way I started blushing ✋.

All in all 10/10 will go feral for this man and this episode again.

Y’all don’t know how much I LOVED THESE EPISODES OH MY GOODNESS

Gah!! It’s already starting off so good and crazy and delicious and scrumptious and yum and-

HUNTER

let me talk about him for a minute because he’s my king fr

Like he’s so fr. He just wants to keep his family away from the empire, live his days out away from other peoples problems, and he doesn’t want to be responsible for anyone else’s war anymore. Like yes!!! He’s just like me fr!! And he’s so protective of everyone it’s so mwuah

Ik some people were like “Hunter no join the rebellion we have cookies” but like, he doesn’t want that life anymore. Taking orders, dying for a cause he hardly believes in, he just wants to keep his family away from all that, and live his best life. (Ik he’ll probably cave and join anyway later on, but still) I support 💯

(Also not him trying to do Tech things and failing 😭😭💀 it was actually so adorable- he likes to stabby stabby not clicky clicky around with buttons 💔 )

Hunter rant over, it’s Tech time.

My bby my boi my second favorite batcher 😭 SOMEONE HELP HIM

He’s so POWERFUL- bro fought and WON against multiple troopers with a BROKEN FEMUR- the most painful bone to break in your body!! He really said “Tis but a scratch” and popped the fuck off. Such a king luv him❤️

And not him getting flirted with 😭 top tier quality content. BROWN EYES LMAO din djarin moment

She right tho, Tech is hot fr

(cant believe that lady SKIMMED over Hunter, the sexiest man alive, but that’s ok bc he’s my husband not her’s so it’s whatever)

And ECHO!!

We are getting fed so well with the Echo content. I love seeing him getting more screen time, and his desire to help with rebelling against the Empire. It’s makes for some interesting conflicts within the batch as a whole, and is most likely going to be an ongoing point. Love him ❤️ NO LIE THO HE WAS KINDA INTIMIDATING THESE EPISODES FOR NO REASON?? IDK WHAT IT WAS BUT BRO WAS PRODUCING SOME MEAN AURA WITH OMEGA FOR A SECOND but then he said “please” to her in such a way that I almost cried lmao (and the way he fell in the beginning 😭 so precious actually)

WRECKER MY BELOVED

THEY FINALLY SHOWED HIM USING HIS DEMOLITION AND WEAPONS EXPERT SKILLS IN ACTION I ALMOST SCREAMED BECAUSE YES YES YES YES AND NOT HIM JUMPING UP AND DOWN ON THE LIFT LMAOOO THE WRECKER HUNTER DUO IS IMMACULATE

that is all, I have to get to class have a great day🗿

Just an Adventurous Pirate and a Flustered Technically

So beautiful said 😭😭😭

I keep rewatching that epilogue scene and, the way Hunter and Omega talk about her joining the Rebellion... You can tell this is not the first time they're having this conversation. And I just can't help but wonder what the previous one(s) must have looked like.

Because something tells me it wasn't peaceful.

I just can't imagine Hunter having any other reaction than an immediate, definitive "absolutely not" the first time he hears about Omega wanting to join the Rebellion. Just like I can't imagine Omega being okay with that reaction.

Were they arguing about it? Were they butting heads and not backing down from their respective points? Because they would. Absolutely, they would.

Did their brothers have conversations with both of them separately? Did Wrecker tell Omega to give Hunter a break because he's old and worried? Did Crosshair convince Hunter that he can't keep a grown woman grounded just because he's scared about her? Did Echo tell him that if this is Omega's calling, he has to let her do her thing?

She tried to sneak off. As if she didn't want to go through this again. As if she thought leaving without a goodbye would be easier on everyone and this way no one can stop her. After all, she made up her mind. She's going. But when she turns the light on and spots Hunter sitting there, she's not even surprised. She nods to herself like of course. Of course he's here.

This literally sounds like they've been over this before. But this time the conversation is surely more peaceful. They both have the other's perspective in their minds now.

This is my choice and I know it scares you but I need you to understand.

I know I won't change your mind but I don't want you to go, I want you to be safe.

This must have been said before as well. Maybe in anger. Maybe in pleading. Or desperation. I wouldn't be surprised if Omega got very frustrated with Hunter for treating her like she's still a kid. Nor would I be shocked if Hunter had trouble articulating his point of view in all his worry and panic. But here, it's a confession. It's very vulnerable. It's the truth Hunter doesn't want to hear and gives a reason why.

Omega is a grown woman now. Skilled, capable, brave. Hunter doesn't doubt that. But to him, she's always going to be his little girl no matter how old she is and I am still speechless at the fact that we actually see him not only struggling with it but also admitting to it.

Back on Pabu, after they escaped Tantiss, Hunter told her: "We've all fought enough battles for one lifetime." And now, years later, Omega echoes this back to him. "You've all fought enough." Almost like she's reading Hunter's mind and knows that if he can't stop her, he's going to want to join her.

The way he wants to reach after her here when she gets up. Like he wants to say wait, no, don't go yet!

But this is her fight, just like she says. She's never been able to sit still, we know that, we've seen that. Just like Echo back in season 2, she can't stand the thought of staying down and doing nothing when there are people out there fighting for freedom. People she can help. She's a skilled pilot now (I can bet she'll become most famous in the Rebellion for her flawless Tech-Turn), she has absorbed everything her brothers have taught her over the years like a sponge and now she wants to use that. After years of living away from the fight, she's finally ready to get back out there and make a difference in the galaxy. Fight for peace because that is her calling.

She's ready, but Hunter is not.

You can tell it's literally tearing him apart to watch her go. That's his baby, the whole reason he's living the life he has now. He gave his blood, sweat and tears so she could grow up safe and happy and away from the Empire's clutches. And now she's going back right into them, willingly.

But she's all grown up. And he has no choice but to let her go do her thing. So he holds her close and I don't doubt sends out a prayer that she comes back to him safe and in one piece. He closes his eyes and commits the feeling to memory because who knows when will be the next time he gets to do this?

And it might be destroying him inside but he's so damn proud. And he knows she's got this. She doesn't need her old man to watch her back anymore.

And yet still this old man, with gray in his hair and beard, this old man whose posture is hunched and who is moving slowly and having difficulty standing up because of his accelerated age, is telling his very grown up and very capable daughter that if she needs him, he's going to pick up his blaster, don the armor and join her in the fight.

Because that's what fathers do.

Rex?

Hunter looking absolutely gorgeous while crosshairs folded over like a ragdoll 💀

I’m really sorry, but I don’t think I’ll ever get over this 🙂🙂🙂

the thots haven’t stopped thotting

“Who? Who??” Maybe Cross is more owl coded than vulture coded after all

Okay I changed my mind:

So Ventress and Crosshair are seriously my two favorite Star Wars characters so seeing them interact at all had me freaking out screaming

There was definitely some specific attention on them but I think it was just the writers acknowledging that they’re really similar characters. Especially with what Omega said to Crosshair, that people can change. Both Cross and Ventress have pasts they’re not proud of, but they’ve grown a lot as characters. Crosshair saw Tech’s files, he knows the things she’s done, yet he still offers her a hand. So I see it as a moment of solidarity between them. And I think that was really cool to include.

But romantically? First of all, she did not care about any of them (except maybe omega a tiny bit) and I doubt we’ll see her again this season. It was very entertaining to see her beat Crosshair’s ass and I did squeal when she had him pinned to the ground but like it was a fight. Could he have had a tiny crush on her? Maybe, cause yknow, Ventress is hot, but honestly I’m really starting to see the vision with queer coded Crosshair. Either way, I don’t think Crosshair is her type, I think she likes em a bit more rugged. Like have you seen Quinlan Vos? He was also a total golden retriever bf which is the opposite of Crosshair. Him and Ventress are just too similar- they’d kill each other trying to one up the other in attitude.

In conclusion, I love them, but I personally don’t see them being romantical and thanks for reading my rambles :)

Y’ALL WHAT THE FUCK

Uh-oh. Time for an unsettling prediction...

They pulled out the stops with this image, and it's not good.

We are shown Omega sitting in wide-eyed innocence in her little room on the ship. She is unarmed, with a doll on her lap and a ball nearby, propped up on the cushioning Wrecker installed for her comfort. This is her safe and happy life on the Marauder, and it is very likely the opposite of what the writers have planned for her.

If you think those dark circles under Hunter's eyes are bad now, just imagine how he will look once the Empire has Omega.

I have a guess for the last two episodes of the season. I think taking Omega will be the last straw in The Bad Batch's relative passivity toward engaging the Empire, and EVERYONE will be part of the mission to get her back. Getting to "The Summit" of Mount Tantiss to rescue her (and possibly Nala Se) might just be the "Plan 99" we are all wondering about.

Oh that's hot. Hunter is already hot, but that; I need that.

My friend just pointed out that Echo just left poor Hunter to be a single parent. XD
