Happy to chit chat about Star Wars/Tech/Bad Batch or answer questions about my art or writing if you want to message/ask.   Please do not feed my stuff to ai or whatever that’s all about.

Thank you so much for taking a gander and reading!!!  💜💜💜 ☕

[apocalyp-tech-a]

Do you have any thoughts on the upcoming Star wars celebration bringing both dee Bradley Baker and Michelle Ang? Do you think it means anything?

One one hand, it's probably just because they are part of the Star Wars family and history and SWC usually has someone from each part of the saga, be it authors, artists, movies, tv, animation. A little something for everyone, and Dee and Michelle would certainly figure in the animation VA aspect. And of course they have many fans! On the other hand, could be testing the waters for fan reaction for a new show featuring clones and...Omega!? Or perhaps there's one already in pre-production phases!? *begs Filoni* *begs especially for Tech* So, in conclusion, it may or may not mean anything, lol. We can HOPE it means something though, and that's what Star Wars is all about. 💜 Thank you so much for the question!!! I truly appreciate it! 😊

[tech-o-mania]

Just a little Tech in your feed :)

Bonus:

[apocalyp-tech-a]

For real though, that dramatic exit.

Here’s A Tune For Star Wars Day…

[my-friends-call-me-gerry]

MAY THE FOURTH BE WITH YOU where is cody.

[apocalyp-tech-a]

I see your where is cody and raise you where is tech. Lol. 🙃

[sunflowersinheaven]

May the 4th be with you ✨

[apocalyp-tech-a]

One of the best ways to celebrate. This should have been an episode of Clone Wars.

[artemis-pendragon]

Wish I lived in Star War. Would be pretty fun and also cool. Spaceship go nyoom hehehe

[apocalyp-tech-a]

[apocalyp-tech-a]

Happy Star Wars Day!!! 🥳 Perfect opportunity to use this Tech quote, lol.

[apocalyp-tech-a]

Time for this one again! May the Fourth be with you all! 💖✨

[z-socks]

Honoring our boy on May Day (May 1). Love that historically May Day - among other things - was about ushering in spring and new life. While I've seen many posts talk about the connection to the distress signal 'mayday,' I think it's nice to keep in mind that meeting Mayday was also the start of Crosshair's journey to his new life.

Happy May Day!

Fandom Friday, 5/01: Happy 501st Day!

Hello and good morning to you all, and welcome once again to another Fandom Friday. As always, this is your host Coffeelorian or if you prefer, just plain Coffee, back with another update from around the vast fandom that is Star Wars.

Before we get started, just one small Caveat Emptor/“Let The Buyer Beware” from my side: I did not read about the May First Strike until the day before I started making this post, and given that my work schedule was already determined as of the week before, I just wasn’t sure if me suddenly calling off on one of the most busy shopping days would be such a good idea.

However...since it miiiiight also be a few hours before any actual strikes begin, I hope it's all right to toss this onto the interwebs before I start refraining from making any more posts myself, if not also not doing any shopping for drinks this morning, as I'd very much like to make some kind of contribution anyways. So! If there's anybody striking sometime today, feel free to put all interactions with this post on hold, and we'll just see each other sometime tomorrow! Thanks! ^.^

For everybody else, though...if you're ready, I've decided to undertake the theme of 501st Day, as it's now officially 3 days before the next May the Fourth celebration and I couldn't resist making a special post to commemorate this occasion. Therefore, the choices below will all center around the Troopers in their trademark blue and white armor, and if this goes down well with you all, I may do the same for a certain Nightbrother next week.

In the meantime, though...here are my picks of the week!

FANART OF THE 501ST

The Clone Wars Fanart--"Ahsoka Under Pink Skies", by @serendaphnis. The Clone Wars Fanart--"Untitled", by @kannaproductions. The Clone Wars Fanart--"stars cannot cry, but you wish that they did", by @lepidopoda. The Clone Wars Fanart--“Arc Trooper Echo”, by @mk-otro. The Clone Wars Fanart--“Pabuverse: This Is Beaky”, by @leenathegreengirl.

FANFICTION OF THE 501ST

“The Great War - Chapter 1: Duel Of The Droids”, by @squishedcookie10. “Water And Pills (Fives x Girlfriend Reader)", by @k8tienaberrie. “Surprising Them With A Wedding Dress”, by @onemass. “Seven Minutes In Heaven”, by @ct7567329. “Rise: The Clone Rebellion - ECHO”, by @laughhardrunfastbekindsblog.

In conclusion, as part of my mission to poke around the Star Wars fandom and highlight those creators who might otherwise go unnoticed…I hope you will check out the links I have included for yourselves and like, comment on, and reblog them, as well as also giving the writers a few more followers to their Tumblr pages.

Please also like and reblog this latest installment so that these links can be spread around to as many other fans as possible, just in case not all of them can tune in at the same time.

An additional thank you goes to @djarrex for making the divider I used earlier in this post, but still want to give credit for.

If anybody likes what they see here AND would enjoy seeing more posts like this; please drop the rock star emoji (👩‍🎤) into the comments or reblogs, and I’ll be sure to tag you when the next update comes.

And finally, so that I do not forget…thank you to my friends, thank you to this fandom, and above all else, please stay safe out there.

Apocalyptech by Aelfwynn on Ao3.

I started this story in November 2021. I stopped at Chapter 11 in June 2022 for various reasons. I finally came back to it with Chapter 12 back in February 2026, and have been faithfully adding chapters since. Chapter 20 newly released. If you want a sad Tech/Bad Batch story with mystery and hope thrown in, this might be it:

Ten years after Order 66.

Tech is on his own, not only fighting the Empire, but fighting himself.

His entire world has crumbled and now he searches for a reason to go on.

[apocalyp-tech-a]

Who, me!?!? No way, omgthankyousomuch!!! 😊 YOU ARE ALSO AMAZING, PIÑA!!! 💝🍍

[serosfan]

Shout out to TBB who could’ve made Tech the normal level headed member of the team but no he’s just as unhinged as the rest of them he just sounds less insane because of how he speaks

[apocalyp-tech-a]

He's just so charming and polite when he's nonchalantly point blank shooting people or beating them up. (With good cause of course.)

[toastyrobos]

Did a piece of Tech in my sketchbook today (when I should have been packing for my trip). First time I’ve ever drawn Tech traditionally, at least that I can remember. Who knows, maybe I’ll tackle the other guys too🤷🏻‍♀️
