Ashley (Ash is fine) | 25 | she/her | Currently stuck somewhere between COD, Supernatural, Starwars (Mandalorians/Clones), Sleep Token, and Ghost (I have a blog for them @HellHound5925-ghuleh)...so yeah | Hunter is my man but I also have a soft spot for the Good Captain Rex | Masterlist is pinned to the top | Send me a message 🖤 let's chat about music or clones 🤷🏼♀️
Welcome! Below there are a few different Masterlists for the fics I have been working on. I have a Captain Rex (pre 66) one as well as a Sargent Hunter (post 66) in the works. I also am working on some one shots but I’ll make sure I note who they are written for.
Also most of my stuff will probably depict the reader as a Mandalorian because I don’t find that very often. I hope you enjoy! Feel free to leave me feedback and definitely reblog if you loved it!
I'm going to add my taste in men here incase anyone wants to talk about it 🤣
Let me know if you would like to be tagged in my stuff 🙌🏻

In case anyone cares I met Michelle Ang (voice of Omega) at an event over the weekend and she liked my TBB hoodie so she took my picture and posted it on her Instagram story 😩
I started a new post, because the other was getting a little long.
Hunter Bad Batch, Commander Wolffe, Raylan Givens (Justified), Din Djarin, Sterling Archer (Archer)
I mainly tried to tag people who have tagged me in things recently or sent me those nice messages, but if you did that and I still forgot to add you, my apologies. Please consider this a blanket tag.
But these are the least pressure no pressure tags ever! No pressure at all, totally ignore if you'd like!!
I really need some sort of reunion between Kanan and Hunter/TBB in a future series. It would be just so beautiful to see Hunter and Kanan together and then Omega and Hera chatting like 🥺
This took 13+ hours. Tech, Hunter, I love you both, but your armor is excruciating to draw and I think I might eat my own hands. (Also did I mention I love them???)
Now this may not get a lot of notes but I worked really hard (over the course of several days and a lot of late nights) and I wanted to share this. I’m an amateur at best but i drew these with that one TikTok trend for my friend @dangraccoon (congrats on marriage!!) this is their OC Jaine Vale (go check them out!)
As I said, I’m not the best artist but I’m really proud of these :)
Tagging my friends so it can get at least four notes 😭 @sevdidntdie @janthesevenette @fionajames @will-is-silly @imconfusedbutok @hellhound5925
(The last picture is a picture of my own hand that I traced because I CANNOT figure out how to draw hands. I traced the first pic because I started crying when I tried freehanding the hands.)
Howdy!👋 I think my sideblog (the follow will come from my less-active main, @/afrostycatblr) will check a few of your boxes! I have a lot of love for all things Star Wars, so that makes up the bulk of what I post/share here; the Clone Wars era is my favorite. That's what a lot of my writing and art is about and/or inspired by!
The occasional Lord of the Rings and Marvel post turns up in my queue from time to time, too.
A (non-exhaustive) list of other bloggers I know of who enjoy Star Wars and/or The Clone Wars and The Bad Batch that you might be interested in, and what they offer that hopefully might be of interest to you~

Word Count:
A/N: lmao I took waaaaay too long for this. I went super overboard with Hunter and well... I re-did it so I could post them all at once. No fr I went back and re-wrote the entire thing multiple times lmaoo
Hunter
You couldn’t play it too loud, of course. Hunter was here. The others had gone to the docks littering the lowest level of Pabu. It was just you, your man, and your favorite rock band.
You began to connect your datapad to the Marauder’s control panel. Hunter was who knows where, lurking around the ship doing who knows what. As your deft fingers tapped away at the buttons, you knew exactly what song to play.
Hunter never minded you playing your music whenever the others were out, mostly because with all the different preferences of music, no one was satisfied whenever someone’s song came on - except Omega, who liked all her brothers music, bobbing her head to whatever was playing, but that was a different story.
The pad of your finger selects your chosen song, a gray swirl floating around the screen as the datapad loads. You sigh and tap your foot impatiently. How long has it been since this ship has experienced your glorious, powerful tunes? How long has it been since the soundwaves have echoed through the durasteel walls of the ship? Too long.
The swirl faded away and the familiar intro to your song starts blaring through the speakers. The loud piano fills the ship and you hear Hunter shuffle around the back of the ship.
“Damn it, Wrecker,” you mutter as you fumble with the volume switch, turning it down to a more… healthier level. You turn around to face Hunter, who’s slowly uncovering his ears and staring at you wide eyed, as you mouth sorry.
“Was that Zenith?” He asks.
“Yeah. But I didn’t know it would be that loud, sorry,” you reply, giving him a guilty look.
“Don’t worry about it, cyare. Turn it up a bit. I like that one.” He comes over, wrapping his arms around your waist from behind. He presses a soft kiss to your temple and taps his fingers on your belly to the beat. “I saw some post on the Holonet about Zenith.”
“Yeah?”
“Mmhmm,” Hunter hums, “apparently it means ‘the final end’. Do you think that means Co-”
“No. Don’t. Copia lives forever and ever,” you cut him off, shaking your head. Hunter gives a low chuckle. You reach your hand up behind you to run your fingers through his hair.
“Play it louder.” He hums the tune of the song in your ear, swaying you gently.
“This is not the right type of dancing we should be doing to rock,” you whisper.
“Shhhhh… ‘s the best part.” Hunter leans his head back a little and starts to sing, “Time will soon be gone… Right will turn to wrong.” He’s incredibly offkey and he knows it, curling his fingers around your wrists, moving them up and down like he’s trying to make you dance. You giggle.
“Winds come on strong! So, help you God! Call on meee…”
“Hunter, baby, love of my life, stop. Please, you’re killing my ears.” You grin, laughing as he whispers a soft ‘no’.
“You’re set free!” He twirls you around and dips you dramatically. You can’t help but laugh. His chocolate eyes gaze into your own as he leans down and presses a tender kiss to your lips.
“You can’t sing for shit…”
“I love you, too, cyare.”
Tech
The signature rapping of drums and the low strumming of guitars filled the Marauder. You sat back in the co pilot's seat with your feet up on the console. You imitate the drums, tapping your pointer fingers in the air like you’re Pebble or Mountain on their stage.
Tech’s somewhere on the ship, findling with whatever needs repairing. You’ve all stopped at some backwater world, the rest of the team going out to the local town for supplies. Tech’s never had an issue with your music, in fact, he lets you blast it as loud as you want when it’s just the two of you.
I have my headphones, he’s told you, you rarely get to play your music. I do not mind.
But, you were nice enough to never play it on full blast. Just loud enough to feel every time the drummer’s sticks hit the instrument.
You don’t hear the footsteps behind you, not noticing Tech had come to the cockpit until he touches your shoulder. You gasp, jumping a little. Tech’s big amber eyes widen and he allows his lips to form a soft smirk.
“Scared?” He rubs the pad of his gloved thumb over the bones in your shoulder.
“Maybe a tad, yes.” You grin, putting your hand over his.
“Mummy Dust, correct?” He lowers himself down into the pilot’s seat, his fingers trailing down your arm before slipping off. You nod. Tech’s head bobs slightly as the tempo quickens.
You and him both mouth ‘dust’ as Tobias Forge begins singing.
“I was carried on a wolf’s back…” you mumble.
“To corrupt humanity…” Tech whispers back.
“I will pummel it with opulence…”
“With corpulence and greed…”
You both sing, “In God you trust… My mummy dust…” You look up at Tech with a grin and you both - him less aggressive as you - bob your head to the beat of the drums. Tech gives you a soft smile and a low chuckle.
The pair of you sing the next verse together, alternating between lyrics. His eyes close and he tilts his head back against the headrest as the keytar solo begins. His slender fingers twitching slightly, as if imitating the musician. You watch with a little grin.
“Having fun?”
“You know, if we were to acquire a keytar, I believe I could execute that solo to perfection. With some practice, of course.” Tech opens his eyes and looks over at you.
“Don’t get ahead of yourself, hun.”
“I am merely stating facts, cyare.”
Wrecker
The intro to the song plays loudly out of the speakers. You bob your head to the guitars and tap your foot. You feel strong hands grab you from behind by your waist just before you could sit back down into the copilot’s seat.
“I’ve been lookin’ so long now for you now you won’t get away from my grasp…” Wrecker sings along to the song, Phantom Of The Opera, giving your waist a gentle squeeze. You smile.
“What’re you do-” You’re shushed as he whispers into your ear, “You put on my favorite song, mesh’la…”
His deep, rough voice carries over the ship’s speakers. He spins you around, holding your hands as he dances you through the ship. His smile never fades as he gently holds you but aggressively sings.
“Watch your step, he’s out to get you!” He tickles your stomach, your laugh drowned out by the music. “Come what may… Don’t you stray… from the narrow way!”
He lets go of you to vigorously shred his nonexistent guitar.
“You’re runnin’ and hiding in dreams. I’m always there… I’m the phantom of the opera, I’m the devil. I’m just out to scare!”
“Wrecker, you couldn’t scare a baby tooka if you wanted to.” You grin.
He stops singing and dramatically gasps, “What?! This face has scared quite a few clankers in its day.”
You roll your eyes with a joking scoff. The song ends a moment later and Wrecker leans close to you. His lower lip juts out slightly as he whispers, “I’m scary.”
“No you’re not.”
“Yes I am.”
“Nuh uh.”
“Yuh huh.”
Crosshair
Your finger hovers over the screen of your datapad, ready to play your song. You’ve settled on Respite on the Spitalfields when someone’s long fingers curl around your ‘pad from behind you, gently pulling it away.
“That’s a good song, but if you’re going to play Ghost, play a better song,” Crosshair rasps in your ear. His deft digits scroll through your playlist.
“Oh yeah? What’s better than Sodo’s solo?” You turn your head to look at him.
“The intro to Secular Haze. But the If You Have Ghost version.”
You cock a brow. “Not Infestissumam?”
He scoffs, “The intro for the one in If You Have Ghost is better. Tobias’ vocals are better in Infestissumam. They have their differences.”
A smile tugs at your lips. “Okay, Cross… Didn’t think you were paying that much attention to my songs.”
“I always pay attention to the things you like…” His slim arms loop around your waist as he pulls you in. His lips hover next to your ear.
“Oh… Well… what other songs have you been paying attention to?”
“Mm.” Crosshair pauses for a moment. “Take It From Everyone by that one band with the members from Ghost in it…”
“Drag Talk?”
“Mmhm.” Crosshair rests his chin on the top of your head, swaying a little and taking you with him. You lean your head back against his shoulder and let out a content sigh as the guitars break through the silence of the ship as Secular Haze plays.
Echo
It was just you and Echo on the ship, for once. The pair of you lie on his bunk, your head on his chest with his good arm around you. His prosthetic feet tap against each other as your music plays through the speakers of the ship.
His lips brush against the top of your head as he shifts a little. What sounded like a clock ticking cuts through the quiet of the Marauder. Echo looks puzzled.
“Never heard this one before,” he whispers. You can’t help but grin a bit.
“Just listen…”
In this your time of need
You're turning to the light
You had just begun to explore the dark
In the urban night
Echo nods a little.
The world is on fire
And you are here to stay and burn with me
A funeral pyre
And we are here to revel forevermore
He presses his hollow cheek to the top of your head as the song plays.
“I like that… Kinda sounds like a love story.”
You look up at him. “I think it means like… The absence of God or something.”
“Well, I think it has something to do with love. The world burning but you’re here to stay and burn with me? C’mon, that sounds something like love.”
“Um… sure, hon.” A small giggle escapes your lips. “Whatever you say, Echo.”
He jabs a finger lightly into your side, making you squirm.
Was tagged by the wonderful @marivenah 💙 thank you this was so fun to make 😚🤭
Rules: bold the themes that apply to your ship, and italicize the theme if it’s one-sided, within your story.
Note: there might be some stuff I didn't understand right. Example PDA friendly...for me it's like, are they okay with that? So yeah I hope its understandable ☺️

Thank you for the tag dear @stardustbee ! I love your story details! And your dividers are so magically lovely! ✨️💖
Here is mine from Starcrossed:
