A little image for the latest chapter of my TBB fanfiction: Forgotten Lullabies.

I know, the shading isn't that great, nor is the drawing as a whole, but I suck at digital art, LOL! ^-^'

[fantasyproductions]

I'd love to hear a little blurb about each of your TBB fics on your master list and what you love most about each one?? :)

......I can't believe you ACTUALLY sent me this ask!!! I literally cried, this made me so happy! Buckle up- you're gonna regret this!

Forgotten Lullabies- The most important aspect of this story, which I will mention first because I want to make sure people know this, is that I began to write this story for a dear friend of mine who loved Bad Batch as much as me... This past November, that friend died very suddenly... and she never got to finish reading it... so I took a hiatus when writing it, but am determined to take my time and make it as good as she thought it could be. With that being said, this is my current WIP and I cannot BEGIN to describe HOW MUCH thought and love I have put into it and how much it means to me. I even wrote a full SONG for it! If I could play an instrument, I’d have shared it by now, but I’ve only recorded it acapella and it sounds strange because I hate my voice. LOL! I do have someone who is looking to write music for it at some point though! But hey, I'll likely post a recording if people want. It is a multi-chapter fic that follows one of the Batch’s first missions in part one, and then their return to the planet it took place on in part 2. It sounds super boring, but I promise it's not. It's got a crazy lady scientist, pirates, family bonding, delves into the backgrounds and drive of each character and, honestly, all my stuff is canon compliant, so I personally like to think it's giving more character background that doesn't technically exist. LOL! It has fluff, angst, whump, you name it! The relationships in it could be platonic or romantic, it's entirely up to the reader! Part one takes place during the Clone Wars, while Part 2 (which I haven’t posted) will take place during early Season 2 of the Bad Batch. I have so many great plans for this fic, and I hope everyone will love it as much as I do!

Mind Games- The Batch suffer from a Mind Swap while on a mission- their minds get swapped into each other’s bodies and the chaos that ensues is fun. Unlike most mind swap stories I’ve seen, I think I managed to make sure this wasn’t weird at all. I actually think it's pretty funny! :D This was my first Bad Batch fic! I put so much love and time into this and I treasure it so much! It was also the first time I’d ever fully finished writing a story, and I was so proud of myself for it! My favorite part? Ooh… that’s hard, and I don’t wanna give spoilers because this is a multi-chapter fic. But I love all of it!

When Dominos Fall- This is an Echo based fic, focusing on his earlier days with the Batch and his recovery and coping with PTSD. Obviously nowhere near as much as our dear Echo, but I suffer from anxiety attacks and panic attacks regularly, and the feelings of self-blame you experience and the struggle to stay in reality and not get trapped in your head with all the memories and traumas can be very hard, because you just spiral. Trying to portray that in this story was hard, only because I had such a hard time WORDING EVERYTHING! My favorite part? That’s hard… but I’m gonna say when Hunter sat with Echo and talked to him while messing with the Domino pieces.

Promises- This was both self-indulgent and also a gift for @returnofahsoka inspired by their fic “Stick Together.” My favorite part? Probably when the Batch is all just sitting in the cockpit together being nostalgic. I just liked giving these subtle nods to @returnofahsoka's story. @alligatorpie1945 even made a little comic for their story a while back! Definitely go check their fic it out!!! It's so sweet!

Broken Parts- Okay, this is a Tech and Omega bonding story, written back during season one. I thought they needed more moments together and decided fix that; I was also feeling very nostalgic and emotional when I wrote it. I think my favorite part is when Omega is trying to catch fireflies and Tech is thinking about Crosshair. I always thought that if one member of the Batch would insist they go after Cross, other than Omega, it would be Tech…. turns out I was right and I hate myself for it….

But yeah, that's a little summary/thoughts on each of those fics! I'll eventually be adding all of them to Tumblr, but adjusting the format takes a little bit of time and I don't want to post them all at once. ^-^'

Thank you so much for the ask, I APPRECIATE IT SO MUCH!!! If anyone wants to be added to my taglist, let me know! Thanks for listening to my ramblings!!!

About 2 years ago, I wrote a scene for the end of my FanFiction "Forgotten Lullabies" which is currently on hiatus. The scene is centered around a Tech.... I had a deep meaning to the scene, and I completely forgot I had written it. Until I opened my laptop to work this morning... saw it on my screen, opened the file.... And made myself cry all over again.... Because somehow, I don't know how... The thing that I wrote now had triple meaning.... I'm just gonna go die now .....

STAR WARS FANS, HELP!!! I am in search of a good artist whose commissions are currently open!!!! I have many characters in my fanfiction, and while I'm an artist, I have neither the time nor the skills to draw them digitally in a way that will do them justice! If you know of any artists who would be able to bring my beloved characters to life, PLEASE TELL ME!!!!

When your sister starts arguing with you about the lyrics and tune to a song, insisting they're correct and go to prove it, but they can't find the song online.

"Why can't I find it?!" Hmmmm, lemme think. Maybe because I WROTE IT! And it's not released or anything!!! 🤦🏼‍♀️🤣

[fantasyproductions]

When you start rereading your fic so you can try and flesh out more chapters only to realize you need to rewrite SO MUCH ..... And remove everything you already posted on AO3 because it's gonna be so different .... 😅😅😅😭😭😭💔💔💔

Does anyone else plug their headphones in and make up sad/epic scenarios for their story in their head using epic-ly sad music so they actually have motivation to write? And either they succeed spectacularly or they fail abysmally? Yeah, me neither, I don't know what you're talking about.... 👀

I haven't drawn in months!!! But this is the first draft of some art for my upcoming TBB fanfic "Forgotten Lullabies."

The little girl is named (temporarily, until I find my notebook where I wrote the name I actually wanted 🤣) Keraa. She is slightly scared of Crosshair at first because of his grumpy face, but she's also extremely intrigued by him, though he doesn't know why. She snuck up behind him and gave him a hug. 😁

Digital art isn't usually my thing, (gimme a set of pencils and paper any day!) but I figured I'd give it a shot.
