And That Is Something

Technician and Pilot of Clone Force 99, a.k.a, The Bad Batch. Now that my access and ability to relax has increased tenfold, I have started this blog as an attempt at learning and experiencing the Holonet in a more casual manner. For the sake of simplicity, 18+ interaction only, please. // Tech RP blog

[obviously-99]

* From the Mun *

Hello, all!

Here is yet another Star Wars: The Bad Batch blog. This time, it's our boy, Tech! (Obviously.)

A couple of warnings before this kicks off:

- this blog WILL contain spoilers for both Season 1 and Season 2 of The Bad Batch. I will try to label the spoilers as much as I can, but just in case I miss something, I will state that here.

- this blog is an AU where The Bad Batch rescues Crosshair, and everyone is living out their life while healing on Pabu

- this blog also may contain 18+ themes and messages at times, so please curate your own experience and be responsible

- I will be role-playing this character to the best of my ability according to the show, as well as my own headcanons. your version of Tech and my own version of him might not always be the same, so please don't get upset or send hate over a difference of role-playing or personality preferences

- you're more than welcome to flirt and/or allude to 18+ material! As long as you aren't actively attempting to roleplay graphic sexual scenes, all is good!

Overall, I think that's it! I can't wait to get this started and to do some answering and talking!

Peace! 💜✨️

Hunter: why are you so late?

Tech: a technical error occurred, causing an unexpectedly long bout of unconsciousness

Hunter: overslept?

Tech: overslept

*Update from the Mun*

As the rest of the Renegade Force 99 squad has moved on to other projects or is on hiatus, I am going to keep this blog open but currently use it to reblog fan art, writings, and other fandom works related to Hunter. I am open to role play again in the future if my squad is able to re-form, but for now wanted to find a way to keep this profile active. Thanks to everyone who has followed along so far! 💀 🔪

[shipobsessed212]

It's going to be okay.

[kersplosion99]

THANK YOU!!!!!

[obviously-99]

I can confirm that Wrecker's hugs are most satisfactory.

[sailorkamino]

physical touch is vital to brain development but clones and jedi don't have parents to hold them. so they hold each other. growing up with this communal affection makes them very tactile as adults. in this essay i will explain the history and cultural significance of cuddle piles in the GAR-

[kersplosion99]

MORE CUDDLE PILES!!!! @obviously-99 see, science says they are good.

[obviously-99]

Hey smart guy.

I must be an geologist because I really dig you.

Well. I hadn't thought my inbox was a place for pick-up lines, but I'm certainly not complaining.

I feel this is a most appropriate time to give you a pick-up line of my own, as I'm fairly certain this is how these rituals go when in a casual conversation.

I feel an attraction between you and I, and it's more than just universal gravitation.

How was that?

“I’d give up my morning cereal to spoon you instead”

[girlzrok-99-deactivated20240114]

This is very sweet actually

[kersplosion99]

I thought it was cute! Don’t know that I’d say it to someone I hadn’t talked to before, though🙂

[sergeant-migraine]

I don’t know if you all understand just how generous it is for Wrecker to give up his morning cereal for…anything 👀 🥣

[ladyzirkonia]

Sarge, what do I have to do that you give up one of your bandanas for me?

[sergeant-migraine]

One of my bandanas? I…what exactly are you wanting one for? *sends a slightly confused and panicked look her way*

[wreckers-wife]

There are lots of things you could do with a bandana. My personal favorite is to tie it in a cute lil bow around my ponytail. Idk what @ladyzirkonia had in mind, but if you are giving up bandanas... 👀

[kersplosion99]

@sergeant-migraine I think @obviously-99 could explain it to you! I mean, I could but I’m not.

Also would 100% give up morning cereal for a cute someone to snuggle.😍

[ladyzirkonia]

@sergeant-migraine @wreckers-wife Yeah of course, just for my hair, what else.

@kersplosion99 😏I would love to see Tech explaining that.

[obviously-99]

@sergeant-migraine I can most definitely explain this. Or, explain it as I see it, and how I believe @ladyzirkonia is preferring to use the bandana in question.

I believe the answer to be pheromones. Pheromones are the chemical substance produced and released by mammals and insects, changing the behavior of other species members.

In humans, these are present in bodily secretions of all kinds. Usually, and most researched is auxiliary sweat, or most sweat in general. Though it can potentially be found in other fluids, like breast milk, saliva, and even breath.

Simply put, pheromones are a person's natural smell that is uninhibited by outside chemicals (like deodorants, or heavily perfumed soaps or cleaners), and can be subconsciously how we choose a mate. It's a unique scent that may be sexually stimulating to some. Depending on the person, these pheromones can be strong or subtle and their environment and personal choices make all the difference.

Even in humans, men may be even able to tell if women are ovulating and tend to be more receptive to physical or sexual advances. Women tend to be more sensitive to male pheromones, but more research needs to be done about the extent of how it really affects the opposite sex.

If your natural body odor, or pheromones, smell good to a female, you have a higher chance of gaining them as a mate.

There are plenty of ways to increase pheromone potency as well! Some quick bullet points include:

frequent exercise

zinc-rich food

healthy sleep schedule

unscented deodorants, antiperspirants, or soaps

abstinence from sexual activities

Hunter often uses unscented, or very lightly scented, soaps, and as soldiers, we do get frequent exercise, and he has one of the healthiest sleep schedules, aside from Echo.

He has all of the markers of having a stronger pheromone output, which is often why women 'steal' their partner's (or potential partners/crushes') clothes, and in this case, a bandana.

Though, I never figured his lack of sexual experience would contribute to him being seen as a potential romantic partner to others.

Science is fascinating.

[kersplosion99]

Wait @obviously-99 … what’s wrong with my sleep schedule? I mean you don’t got one and Cross sleeps like a tooka.

And no one is getting any because we are in a secret base!!

[ladyzirkonia]

@kersplosion99

@obviously-99 don't need one because his info dumps are enough to let a lot of panties drop.

And I'm pretty sure your pheromone level is right, since you haven't been lacking for attention lately. ;)

[sergeant-migraine]

Kriff, Tech, I know what pheromones are...although that is more information than I ever thought I needed to know about them *shakes head*

I...uhh...suppose I can see why that would make people want to smell, or ask for, my clothes...but...I don't really see why my bar soap and zinc supplements make me smell attractive. I just try to stay healthy.

As for your insinuation of "lack of sexual experience"....we'll talk about that later @obviously-99

@wreckers-wife @ladyzirkonia I'm flattered at your requests for a bandana but they are currently staying in my possession/on my head...sorry. I'd...have to get to know you better first.

[obviously-99]

Hunter, I'm not quite sure that I wish to engage in a conversation about your lack of sexual experience.

If you need help, I can link you to many articles that might improve your chances, or perhaps even ultimately help you reach that goal.

Nevertheless, I appreciate the invite, but I'm going to politely decline.

*wordlessly slides him a wrapped bar of... something*

... here. Caf chocolate. I buy 'em in bulk. One square's about half a cup of caf, I use 'em for when I'm working late nights.

Don't stay up too late, okay?

@freelanced 🧡

Oh? I have heard that caf chocolate is very popular on a multitude of planets. I haven't had the privilege of indulging in one myself yet.

Thank you for sharing!

I will most definitely be eating this entire bar in one sitting upon starting my new project.

[freelanced]

Please don't eat it in one sitting that's like six cups of caf in 30 seconds-?!

[doc-cf99]

Wh... Why would you give him the whole thing?!

Tech, no...

[obviously-99]

What is the statistical probability of hearing colors when consuming immense amounts of caffeine?

I am, of course, only talking hypothetical.

[freelanced]

...Tech, how many have you had already?

[obviously-99]

I've eaten the whole bar. It was quite delicious!

[kersplosion99]

Is this why he’s still awake? It’s been days!

[obviously-99]

It's only been 3 days, 7 hours, 43 minutes, and 52 seconds. I am quite certain that I can continue this streak if I keep myself busy!

[kersplosion99]

As long as it doesn’t turn into a problem. If Hunter says otherwise I’ll have to listen, you know that!

[obviously-99]

I'm well aware! Even though I am a relatively calm man, most of the time, you all have the habit of referring to me as a feral opossom. I have no intentions of turning this into an episode of Animal Control!

There is no problem here.

Yet.

[ladyzirkonia]

@obviously-99 Staying 3 days awake with you would heal me. And after that I wanna sleep with you for 3 days how about that?

[obviously-99]

Dear, I would love nothing more than to spend three days together with an insufficient amount of sleep.

You very well might be a well-behaved angel, but I can think of some very devilish activities we could participate in together to help pass the time.

[chronically-underpaid]

I would worry less about the psychotropic symptoms at that point, and more about your cardiovascular system going into overload.

However, having eaten full bars myself to deal with the bullshit the 501st put me through, i can tell you that you'll be fine.

You might crash for a few days though.

[obviously-99]

I'm appreciative that you are choosing not to lecture me this time about my choices. The crash isn't something I'm particularly worried about either - I will deal with that as it comes.

When do the psychotropic symptoms go away? I think I can hear Lula talking to me from across the room.

Reblog to give Crosshair a hug

[kersplosion99]

@toothpick-man

[doc-cf99]

Are we taking bets on how many hugs he tolerates before he snaps?

[kersplosion99]

@doc-cf99 better get yours first! Anything more than 2 is RARE.

[toothpick-man]

Zero. I don't need hugs to snap at you anytime.

[obviously-99]

Maybe we should conduct an experiment with how many non-consensual hugs he will tolerate before he resorts to physical violence.

[toothpick-man]

Maybe we should conduct an experiment instead how long you can shut up before you retort to physical violence. ❤️

[obviously-99]

That has already been recorded. The time, including talking to myself, is approximately 34.76 seconds. The time, not including talking to myself, is approximately 4 minutes and 23.5 seconds.

Summer in Pabu

Follow up to this one

Tech didn't know his beers were 8%. This caused an understandable miscalculation in his tolerance.

[kersplosion99]

Ha! That was fun. Wasn’t it @obviously-99?

[obviously-99]

The atrocious hangover after was not fun.

However, drunk fishing on the shores of Pabu was an exhilarating and special experience that I have documented with you, Wrecker. Perhaps we could do it again sometime!
