#especially wrecker

[turtledork02]

in season 3 ep 2 of bad batch, we get this blink-and-you-miss-it shot of the tooka doll Lula in the back of the ship. (i had to up the exposure of this screenshot, the shot was so dark lmao) call me crazy but it looks like this doll has not moved from Omega’s “room” on the ship at all.

originally it was wrecker’s doll, but after omega joined it slowly became hers. after she was captured, did wrecker even take it out of her room to snuggle with her? did he take her at night sometimes, and then put her back in omega’s room? the thoughts are making me teary eyed. poor man lost so much and still couldn’t bear to take Lula away from omega’s space.

miscellaneous headcanons on tbb (no spoilers):

tech spends his stipends on specialty caf beans and hand-grinds them himself (strong preference for percolation brewing)

tech also has absurdly terrible posture and will not sit properly on a chair unless he's manning the helm

crosshair has tmj and has to sleep with a mouthguard

crosshair collects small mementos from each mission in a lockbox (e.g. droid fingers, small rocks, gifts from natives)

hunter has auditory and tactile hyperesthesia and got his blacks refitted offworld to a less triggering texture (he'll rarely take off his gloves even around his brothers)

hunter keeps a picture of his brothers tucked under his chestplate

echo does, in fact, have a functional prosthetic arm/hand, but he generally avoids putting it on because he's more comfortable without

echo plays negotiator for the few actual arguments that arise (aka he smacks the boys upside the head and chews them out for an hour)

wrecker knows how to safely crack spines to relieve tension and is incredibly knowledgeable about kinesiology/pressure points

wrecker's the most sensitive to the emotional signals of his brothers and can easily pick up on when one of the boys is feeling off (though he isn't the most tactful about it)

body temperature-wise, wrecker and crosshair run hot, and hunter, echo, and tech run cold

hunter and wrecker wake up ridiculously early, crosshair and echo wake up at normal hours, and tech sleeps in because he stays up all night

echo’s a better splicer than tech, and tech will wake him up at ungodly hours to bother him about lines of code (sometimes echo calls him fives in his waking disorientation)

echo’s implant ports ache when it gets cold/dry and wrecker will massage any pain out for him

hunter and wrecker have a secret handshake (they all do, but they're the only ones who live by it)

crosshair and echo can have the pettiest, snarkiest exchanges that go on for hours, but it's all in good fun

tech has medical know-how but crosshair’s the one with steady hands, so tech dictates medical procedures to crosshair for minor excisions and stitches

the boys all pitched in to get hunter one of those fancy soundproof headphones and now he won’t sleep without them

when no one’s looking, they all babytalk the gonk droid
