writers try not to infantilize tech or echo or wrecker challenge

WE KNOW TECH TAUGHT OMEGA HOW TO FLY! WATCH HER ROLL UP INTO YAVIN 4 LIKE THIS! 🤣

The Empire couldn’t handle her crazy antics, but can the Rebellion? 😅🥰

Thinking about how Hunter proposed that Omega can come on all of their missions if she beats him in a match of Holochess to test her strategy skills at the end of Common Ground (S1 epsiode 10.)

And from then on, Omega comes on all of their missions, meaning that Omega crushed Hunter in a strategy game OR Hunter willingly lost and let her come on all missions to have her close.

Even while breaking Senator Abi out from the Empire’s hold on Raxus, he unconsciously tells Tech and Omega to loop around and help him take out some Empire troopers, to which Tech reminds him that Omega is not there with them on this mission dumbass, because Hunter said to leave her at home with Cid for safety. Hunter always so used to having Omega with them and at their side, he unconsciously still made their strategies include her.

With this in mind, I still doubt if Hunter really lost to Omega in that game of holochess and just wanted her at their side. BUT, I like to think Hunter would not hold back and still give it his all to beat babygirl at the game. And even if he did let her win, her attempts in their game still prove that she’s got the brains to provide great backup and strategic value in their future missions.

And if Hunter wasn’t holding back, that means Omega totally destroyed him in that game of Holochess and outmatches his strategy skills. I much prefer this outcome with Omega kicking their sergeant/leader’s ass.

Ohhh how I love Omega’s character development from sheltered baby who spent all her life on Kamino and has NEVER SEEN DIRT BEFORE, to becoming an absolute GOAT. She learns and grows so much with the Bad Batch brothers. I just love her development, my beloved little menace rogue solider.

So I had a long conversation with someone about wrecker and why he isn't seen as a father figure as much as hunter is. And I don't know why it took me so long to notice it . I have always believed that wrecker is the closest thing omega has to a father figure. But hunter is giving all the credit in the fandom. It's the same as when a father does the bare minimum and people shower them with All the praise and mother's with nothing. Wrecker acts more maternal in a traditional way than any other batcher does. You might think I'm off my rocker with this but hear me out. Think about the traditional mother figure ? They are more physical ,normally emotionally, sentimental, and detailed oriented. Wrecker is the most hands on bad batcher than anyone else. He knew she needed space so he found a way to provide it for her with a privacy curtain and everything. Next he provided her with his doll. He didn't have to but he knew she needed a toy. Through his own love for food they started a tradition and they bonded over mantel mix . It's like a little special thing only they did together .it made her feel special. I put money wreck was the one that saved all of crosshairs stuff for sentimental value . I'm sure they still have all of techs things too. It's like the baby books a lot of moms want to do . I'm sure there are sentimental dads to but when most people think they think in hetero normative terms it goes to mothers. You can't forget that he was teaching her about bombs and tech was teaching her about ships and flying . What has hunter really done beside being the stand offish father that worries about your physical safety. Wrecker was even the first to greet her after omega return.if it wasn't for omega I think wrecker is the glue to the bad batch.

Side bar when wrecker hugged both crosshair and hunter at the same time if was giving mama bear vibes just saying..

More Of My Random Bad Batch Headcanons (Modern AU)

Echo is the absolute KING of finding good shit for good prices on eBay, Facebook Marketplace, or Poshmark. He’s found Omega American Girl dolls in basically new condition for super cheap.

Batcher sleeps in Crosshair’s bed with him.

Hunter decided to let them keep Batcher because he realized he hadn’t seen Crosshair smile like he does when she’s around in a very long time.

Crosshair has some degree of anxiety and is an intense perfectionist.

On that note, he has an extremely nervous stomach. He’s just like me fr

Omega likes to bake and usually does so with Echo and Wrecker not only to bond with them but because they’re both good at it and eager to teach her.

Wrecker cries at movies.

Crosshair also cries at movies but pretends he doesn’t.

Echo has an INSANE network of mom friends. His siblings don’t know the full extent of his network, but what they do know is they can’t go anywhere without bumping into at least one mom who knows Echo.

Crosshair and Tech live in constant fear of Echo dragging them along with him to run errands for this reason. They don’t want to socialize with Sharon for three hours in the sensory hell that is a crowded suburban Target on a Saturday they just want to grab their Oreos and go home.

Hunter has a tendency to baby Crosshair if he isn’t feeling well.

Crosshair pretends to hate it but secretly he loves it because it makes him feel loved and cared for.

Omega seeks out all five of her brothers for bedtime stories depending on what she’s feeling that day. She feels like they are all good storytellers in their own ways but for different types of stories.

Their front lawn is the envy of every dad in the neighborhood courtesy of Hunter.

Speaking of Hunter, all the single moms and college-aged daughters home from school in the neighborhood “just so happen” to be in the area when he’s doing work on the lawn. Especially if it’s in the middle of summer so he’s all glistening… (I’m going to stop right here before it turns into a romance novel scene).

Omega hates this and finds it cringe.

Wrecker and Crosshair go more crazy over Echo buying Capri Suns than Omega does.

Crosshair collects shot glasses from wherever they travel to. Wrecker collects snow globes.

All the neighborhood dads go CRAZY (and also get lowkey jealous) when Wrecker shows up to the neighborhood cookout because he is an absolute MASTER on the grill. He’s telling them about all the meats he’s smoked and they’re SHAKING with excitement.

Their elderly neighbors who knew 99 and remembers when they were kids still refer to Echo and the original members of the Batch as “99’s boys”. They lowkey still view them as kids/teenage boys so will give them candy on Halloween even though they’re grown-ass men.

Their house is always very decorated for holidays since at least one of them is very intense about a specific holiday (Crosshair takes Halloween very seriously but pretends he’s just doing it for Omega).

The Clone Wars, S7, E4 "Unfinished Business"

I noticed this on my first watch, but didn't really think about it...

Hunter and Tech both express some reservation about Echo's loyalties early in the episode. By the end, when Echo's plan to move all the droids to one location works out, they come to accept that he's not compromised.

But at the beginning of the episode, Echo already has the Bad Batch skull painted on his armor. So...who did that?

This is partly what prompted my "Who's the artist?" poll back in May. And even before the poll results, I was already leaning toward Crosshair being the artist, partly due to this episode.

He's sarcastic. He's grumpy. He's distant. He'd rather dodge blaster fire than wear his emotions on his sleeves.

And I really love the idea of him being the one to take Echo's armor and paint the skull on it while definitively thinking "yep, this one's ours," even before Echo "proves" his loyalties.

(I need to write some Echo and Crosshair ficlets/vignettes. In or outside of my Written in the Dust series. Ugh. Send me good vibes for inspiration.)
