The Bad Batch Crosshair - Blog Posts

I went to galaxycon last sunday for my birthday and got some stuff!!!

a crosshair helmet, several funko pops (couldn't find crosshair), and an insane amount of lego minifigs (including cody and crosshair)!!! I also got a lightsaber (!!!!), but I don't have a picture of that right now and I'm too lazy to get one

anyone ask for crosshair with wings?

he's missing his right hand in the bottom right corner because I wanted to be canon accurate. no other reason....

(close-ups under the cut)

Guys I’m gonna make an Epic musical au on Star Wars and I’ll be making you guys guess who will be which character before i reveal (make it like a game hehe) 😋

This was a little thought I had in my head for weeks so I said, “screw it ima do this since au’s are fun!”

But it’s also a ship between my oc and hunter, so I’ll be doing the art for last. As for art I’ll be making on for each song with the characters!

First will be Poesiden! But who will take the role of God of the seas?

Last year I found this behind a stack of Ashoka Funko pops in a Comic con store, (not an actual one 😭) I couldn’t believe I found this so I got it! But sadly I couldn’t get the signed Hunter version…

YOU WILL COME HOME HUNTER 🩵

For the Crosshair girlies, have a playlist 🤭

Crosshair 🖤❤️😈🔫🚬

(There's no toothpick emoji so I had to substitute 🥲)

THIS IS EVERYTHING (NOT CAUGHT UP AT ALL with S3 though I’m sorry). Omega and Grogu are my absolute favorite characters of all time and Cross is my favorite sibling for Omega!!!!

Love this especially the Crosshair one

How the Bad Batch react to Omega being upset (HC’s)

Hello there!

I have written more Headcanons! I do so enjoy writing these.

This one is a sort of continuation of the last one I did, that you can find right here.

So, as the title stipulates, this one is about the Bad Batch reacting to Omega being upset. It’s gonna be slightly AU, as I will be including Crosshair. Our boys aren’t really shown to be processing their emotions as they are constantly on the move (and are apparently built to withstand stress), so I thought I’d write a little something about how I think they would help Omega process her emotions.

Warnings: Fluff galore! Lots and lots of it. There will be quite a bit of angst and minor mentions of violence. Slightly AU. Some swearing (both English and Mando’a – forgive me if the Mando’a isn’t right. I relied heavily on the internet for the translations). Also, I never got it proof read so sorry in advance if there's any grammar/spelling mistakes!

Happy reading!

Hunter:

· We all know Hunter is stoic and acts like a tough, no-nonsense leader, but under that dark and broody façade is a sweet man who loves Omega with all his heart. She is very precious to him and he’s very glad that they took her with them when they escaped from Kamino.

· She managed to push past his tough exterior and unlock emotions within him that he didn’t even know he had. Watching her grow as a person and experience the galaxy brings him so much happiness and he’s glad that he gets to experience it with her.

· So, when Omega is hurting, he hurts too, and not just because he can sense when she is upset by the way her breathing changes or the sounds of her very quiet sobs that anyone else would struggle to hear.

· He doesn’t like seeing her sad but, in the beginning, he doesn’t quite know what to do when she’s upset, as he’s never really had to deal with an upset child before.

· He doesn’t really go for physical contact with anyone because of his enhanced senses, and at first, he is reluctant to hug her back when she hugs him – usually he would just put his hands on her shoulders and try to talk to her.

· But Omega is too sweet and pure and deserves all the love in the world, so the resolute walls he built up from being a soldier came crashing down and he finally hugged her one day when she was particularly sad and exhausted.

· He just held her close and gently rubbed her shoulders, telling her that everything would be okay, and promised her that he would always be there to look after her. He would never leave her, and he would never let anyone hurt her.

· The hug also puts him at ease too and after a while even his senses become used to it and it doesn’t bother him. He also needs this as much as she does, even if he doesn’t realise it at first. (Tech was right all those months ago when he was rambling about the benefits of a hug).

· He will never push for her to tell him what’s wrong, but will let her know that when she’s ready to talk he will be there to listen and offer support.

· Omega will often fall asleep, safe, and warm, in Hunter’s arms. He sometimes falls asleep too, relieved that he could be there for her and that she was safe in his arms, protected from harm.

Wrecker:

· A lot of people think that Wrecker is just big and loud, so how could he possibly be a comforting presence when someone is upset?

· Well, for one, he is the best hugger out of the Bad Batch and when people are upset, particularly Omega, he is usually the first to notice (after Hunter and his enhanced senses).

· He took to Omega basically straight away when the Bad Batch escaped Kamino with her. They have the same excitable energy and constantly hype each other up.

· They have a very special bond, and he hates seeing her upset and will do anything to see her smile again. Seeing her sad makes him upset and angry. He just wants her to be happy.

· He will scoop her up in his arms and hold her until she calms down, humming a random tune to soothe her.

· He will try to make her laugh by telling awful dad jokes and he will let her hold Lula because Lula helps him when he’s upset. He will also grab the Tooka doll he made her, called AZ, because double the tooka, double the happiness.

· When Omega does finally smile, Wrecker’s heart will soar. He feels that sometimes people judge him and fear him because of his appearance, but when Omega seeks him out when she is upset and he can make her smile again, it makes him realise that maybe people are wrong about him and that he’s wrong about himself - maybe he’s not so scary after all. He does in fact understand the need for subtlety and softness when it comes to comforting someone, despite what appearances suggest.

· When she has calmed down and is ready to talk about what’s wrong, he will be like “Who made you upset? Was it Crosshair? Because I’ll kick his shebs!”

· Once any ass-kickings have been given (if needed), they will seek out some food together (Mantell Mix is a favourite, of course).

· They will laugh and joke and have the biggest grins on their faces, happy to be in each other’s presence.

Tech:

· Tech, the clever clogs that he is, knew how special Omega was from the beginning when he analysed her DNA.

· However, he was still a little awkward around her at first because he, like the rest of his brothers, wasn’t used to having a child around, but they ended up bonding over their mutual love of knowledge and Omega hanging on his every word, especially when it came to teaching her about the Marauder. He likes that she doesn’t brush him off when he tells her facts, and actually asks him more questions and genuinely likes learning what she can from him.

· Now, Tech is a very smart man and has gathered knowledge about what to do if someone is upset, you know, just in case he ever needed to comfort someone.

· In theory, comforting someone seems pretty straightforward, but putting it into practise? Not as straightforward as it seems!

· Omega was upset one day, and usually she would seek out Hunter or Wrecker, but they weren’t there. He knew he had to do something, as he didn’t like to see her upset. But the thought of trying to console her made him slightly uncomfortable. What if he made her feel worse rather than better?

· He pushed his anxiety to the side anyway and asked her what was wrong, but she just sniffed and shook her head, leaving Tech to search his brain for what he should do next. He internally berated himself for being slow in providing comfort, because the longer he took to think of something, the longer Omega was upset.

· After a few long, slightly uncomfortable moments he said “You know, I have read that hugs have been proven to reduce stress and they also release oxytocin- “

· Before he could even finish his sentence, Omega threw her arms around him and held tight. He awkwardly patted her back at first, but then relaxed and hugged her properly. He held her tight and sat quietly for a few moments, letting her get her breathing back under control.

· He also started to feel the benefits of the hug and finished telling Omega why hugs are healthy. She looked up at him and smiled, thanking him for making her feel better. Seeing her smile at him like that made his heart melt and he was so relieved that he could help her feel better. He knew that information about hugs would come in handy one day!

· Omega would then tell the rest of the batchers this and try to get all of them to hug regularly, for the sake of their health! This idea was met with varying degrees of enthusiasm.

Echo:

· Echo wasn’t so sure about having Omega aboard the Marauder at first, mostly because he didn’t think she would be safe travelling with them.

· But then he saw how well she fit in, and he realised that she belonged with them.

· During his time as an ARC trooper, Echo saw some pretty messed up shit on the dangerous missions he was sent on (often with Fives). Some of these missions gave him terrible nightmares, and he would wake up shouting and terrified. Fives would calm him down and hug him, saying “It’s okay, vod, you’re safe”. He would also do the same for Fives if he ever had nightmares. He still has nightmares from when he was imprisoned at Skako Minor.

· One night, Hunter, Wrecker and Tech were out getting supplies, leaving Echo on the ship with Omega and Crosshair. Omega had retired to her room at his request to get some sleep a few hours before.

· He then heard small, quiet whimpers coming from Omega’s little room and immediately went to see if she was ok. By the time he climbed up the ladder, she was awake and looked terrified, and the scared look on her face reminded him of himself and Fives, when they would awaken in the dead of night, from dreams plagued with war and darkness.

· He asked her if she had a nightmare and she nodded her head, so he helped her down the ladder, and took her to sit down in one of the chairs in the cockpit, stopping to get a blanket along the way.

· He put the blanket around her, and she immediately leaned into him, searching for comfort, and he hesitantly put his arms around her, worried that his cybernetics would hurt her.

· However, she didn’t make any sign that his cybernetics bothered her, so he held her more firmly and let her cry, while he whispered, “It’s ok, vod’ika, you’re safe”, just like Fives would whisper to him.

· He let silent tears of his own fall, thinking about how unfair it was that Fives wasn’t there with him, about the war that had taken so many of his brothers. He hated that Omega was going through this, she was too young! He composed himself, putting on the mask of a tough soldier, and asked Omega what her nightmare was about.

· He vowed that night that he would always be there for Omega, no matter what.

Crosshair:

· Crosshair was very against having Omega aboard the Marauder. She was a child, had no combat experience, and would be a liability.

· He found her irritating at first, she and Wrecker were always doing something and were too energetic for his tastes. He tried to avoid her as much he could, which was difficult to do on the Marauder. He was even sarcastic and downright rude to her a few times, which the rest of his brothers reprimanded him for.

· Yet, no matter how sarcastic or unpleasant he was, Omega would still try to talk to him. She always made an effort to ask how he was, to engage him in conversation. And she always made sure he was included in every discussion the group had. She even came to him for advice about shooting her bow on a few occasions.

· She started to grow on him, and after a while he got used to her presence and even started to enjoy it, and he stopped trying to avoid her and actually held conversations with her. She was a little ray of sunlight in their ragtag group. But there was no way in hell he would ever admit that to anyone, he even had trouble admitting that to himself!

· One day, he was asked to stay behind with Omega because she needed a break, whilst the other batchers went to do an easy job for Cid. Apparently Hunter had decided that Wrecker’s, Tech’s and Echo’s skills would be needed more than Crosshair’s for that job.

· He heard Omega crying, and he froze. What the kriff was he supposed to do with a crying child? That was usually Hunter or Wrecker’s territory. Kriff, even Tech and Echo would be a better choice than him.

· But they weren’t there, and he couldn’t very well leave Omega to sit and cry on her own, could he? Even he wasn’t that cold.

· He approached her slowly, and knelt in front of her, intent on asking her what was wrong and trying to fix it as fast as possible. Before he opened his mouth, she threw her arms around him. He sat frozen for what felt like hours, arms limp at his side whilst Omega held him and cried. He brought his arms up and patted her on the back a few times before drawing her slowly away from him and looking at her.

· “Come with me,” he said, and he took her to a little makeshift target practise range he had made for himself to let off some steam when he needed to, making sure she brought her bow with her. They stood side by side like that for a while, Omega shooting her bow and Crosshair occasionally giving her advice on how to shoot more accurately.

· From that point on, Crosshair and Omega became closer and would use the practise range together when everything got a little too much for them. And Crosshair vowed quietly to himself that he would never let anyone harm their little ray of sunshine.

Somewhere in an alternate universe... Tech is captured by the Empire, but escapes safely with his sister and brother from Tantiss. His first meeting with Phee after almost six months begins with a reboot, because he clearly did not expect to see her with a belly. Crosshair clearly didn't expect anything more like this. It was at this moment that his ideas about gemini shattered.

I decided to try to apply freckles on Crosshair, but as for me it turned out a little worse than Tech

POV: Tech and Hamlock are fighting for the soul of the Cross

.

.

Or something like that, here at your discretion

Many people say that there is a place for Tech in this frame, but I am more inclined to believe that at this point in time, Crossy still does not feel like part of the squad as before, which will change over the course of the series and the season as a whole.

I like such details when a character returns to his former life, but because of his actions, he is perceived differently by both the people around him and himself. There is some charm in this.

I think I've already written this, but repetition is the mother of teaching, so I'll write it again. Crosshair is one of the best characters in the series, due to his character arch. I like that in the first episode he was in the mask of a sarcastic and unemotional clone who doesn't care about Omega, and who has a conflict with the Hunter. In the last episode, there is no conflict, he calmly shows all his emotions and feelings, and Omega Cross protects in the same way as other brothers. Maybe the last one, but he still awakened his paternal instinct, inherent in most clones.

I hope you enjoy it

As much as I was hurt by the ending of The Bad batch, it's worth admitting that the story came out decent.

In fact, this is a story about Omega growing up. In the beginning, she is a little girl who has not seen life, did not really stand on the ground, and in the end she is an adult girl who is able to protect herself and her loved ones, who has seen everything in her life. She decided to fight on, but without involving her brothers. She leaves them at the Pabu and joins the resistance, on her own. The hunter sees that his baby has grown up and lets her go, because the party has taught her a lot, which means there is no reason to worry as before. In general, the Omega line in the series is one of the best, along with the Cross line.

They are, in fact, the most prescribed heroes here. The sniper started his career as a smug villain, and ended up as a caring brother whose mask of a cold man broke and he began to openly show his emotions. He redeemed himself to his brothers and sister, regained their trust and lives peacefully in the Pabu. Interestingly, in the final, he lost his ever-trembling hand and was finally able to get into handcuffs, although he often smeared all season.

Tech was really dead and that didn't make it any less painful. I was among those who accepted his death, but I was ready for him to be returned to the plot and given an interesting line in the plot.

I won't say anything about Echo and Wreker, because I didn't notice anything here. Except for the latter, we finally saw the beast mode, when the clone, with his wounds, blows enemies right and left.

Many things, it seems to me, were not implemented, many things were out of place. I was waiting for Wolfe to play a role in the series, that Vos had been captured by the Empire and Ventress would come after him. But they both ended up being purely for the sake of fanservice.

In short, I rate the series as a whole at 7/10. Because I missed a lot, missed it somewhere, but in general it was interesting.

Omega: * shows that he can play strategy, calmly shoots a blaster, uses wit and can gamble*

The Dad Batch:

A random headcanon that has no canonical justification. Tech and Cross -twins, former Siamese. By the will of fate, they were born like this, but fortunately the merger allowed them to be separated without any problems. Since that time, everyone has a huge scar on their side, in memory of the fact that they were once literally one.

Do you know what I expected from the new series?

Dialogue in the spirit:

"Brown-eyes friend, my friend"

"Why do you call him Brown-eyes?"

"What else should I call my boyfriend?"

"Wait, what?"

Tech: *wakes up after a head injury* Where am I? This is not a Camino!

Hunter: You seem to have amnesia. Therefore, I will explain briefly: The Republic, the Jedi Order and Kamino are no more, the Empire has replaced the Republic, which is not the best option, but as if we have a choice; now we live in a Pabu, you have a wife and two children, and this little girl is our Omega sister.

Tech: Wait, am I married?

Hunter: Yes, here on it * points to Phee*.

Tech: ...

Crosshair: I also walked away from the news that you have a girlfriend for the first six months. I came to my senses only when I was asked to give a speech at the wedding. And there I didn't even notice how you had twins.

AU, in which the Tech turned out to be alive, it's just that all this time he was hiding from the Empire in some backwater.

Tech: I'm back!

Phee: *hugs and kisses him* Don't do that anymore, brown eyes!

Crosshair: WAIT, DID HE HAVE A GIRLFRIEND ALL THIS TIME?

Omega: Did I mention that?

Don’t care what anyone says. To me, Echo would kill for his little rats (he calls the Batch his little Rats, obvi)

I like the evolution of their relationship. In the beginning, Crosshair somehow didn't give a damn about this hound. In the fourth episode, little has changed. It even seemed to me that he tolerated her for Omega's sake, and in the end planned to leave her (but then again, Omega knows how to convince). And now he treats her pretty well. He strokes her, scratches her, does not chase her away or drive her away from himself. I suspect he was in favor of leaving Batcher. I think they will be a good team by the final. A killer duo, considering it's supposed to be Omega's pet.

Whatever he's done, he's your brother.

Or I see details and hidden meanings where they were not originally laid.

Plus one cool detail of the third season. Cross began the application with the Hunter where he realized his mistakes, where his opinion changed to the diametrically opposite. this snow-covered planet and the vulture in my eyes are a symbol of the Cross's changes, its downward point and elevation in the eyes of the brothers.

In general, raising the topic of vultures, I became interested in their symbolism in principle. That's what I managed to find.

The vulture is usually associated with death, decay, and purification. He can often be seen circling over carrion. His preference for collecting garbage led to the emergence of symbolism associated with purification and renewal. Despite the seemingly gloomy associations, the Vulture also symbolizes resourcefulness and efficiency, as it plays a vital ecological role in cleaning up remains and processing nutrients.

Vultures have been a part of mythology and cultural beliefs in various societies. In ancient Egypt, the Vulture was a symbol of maternal care and protection, often associated with the goddess Nekhbet. In Native American traditions, the Vulture's predilection for scavengers is interpreted as a symbol of purification and renewal. In Tibetan culture, the practice of "heavenly burials" suggests that vultures eat the remains of the deceased, which means the impermanence of life and the natural cycle of life and death. The unique role of the vulture in nature has made it a powerful and complex symbol in various myths and traditions.

Sticking to the version with cleaning and updating, this is exactly what we see in the example of CT-9904. In the beginning, he was a loyal imperial dog, and after Mayday's death, he began his journey of more significant changes. His outlook on life was "renewed", and in the fifth episode he began his "purification" in the eyes of the Hunter, with whom it is basically difficult for him to establish a normal relationship from the first season.

I also tend to believe that up to this point, the sniper had dreamed of this bird several times. Before understanding, a dream about a Vulture may reflect a feeling of a situation or relationship that is in decline or in need of purification. This may symbolize the need to purge oneself of negative influences or find value in what others have abandoned. Psychologically, the Vulture may represent an aspect of the subconscious mind associated with the end, transformation, or understanding of the natural cycles of life.

Well, it also seems to me that this is the same bird that was in episode 12 of season 2. I think no one buried Mayday and his corpse was simply stolen by this bird.

That's such a creepy headcannon.

He's shy.

I never thought that I would see this tsunderka shy.

why did they make him pose like That™️ 😭

Exactly. In other words, this scene is steeped in symbolism and small details. This... really cool.

I love the attention to detail. Two islands of light. Crosshair on one, the others on the other. They perfectly displayed the huge gap that was created in the first season by Cross. Now he needs to regain the trust of his brothers after almost a year of living apart. From now on, the arc of Crosshair's correction begins in the eyes of the rest of the squad, his rehabilitation begins now and it is not known how soon he will be able to become a full-fledged part of this family again. When they trust him again and accept him as their own.

Omega will most likely help him with this. She was generally a ray of light, a supportive sister who you want to protect. She's the only one who believed in Cross, who trusts him even after all this time. Now that her brother has stopped listening to his demons and has begun his redemption, she must help him become Clone 99 again.

I sincerely hope that his story will not end with his death, otherwise we have already lost one.

And what did you expect from the series called The Dad Batch?

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

He called him Omega's Dad.

I want more

Надеюсь, так и будет, когда Тех оказывается жив и не в руках Империи

I hope it will be so when Those are alive and not in the hands of the Empire.

Now he is a tsundere with glasses

Happy May the Fourth, everyone! ❤️

In celebration of this most glorious day, I would like to share a piece of art with you. Recently, I came across some artwork depicting the Bad Batchers as animals (which I think is absolutely adorable!) and was inspired to create my own.

I give you… Crosshair as a horse! Horses have always held a special place in my heart. I plan to do a whole series of the Batchers as horses. Next up: Tech!

YOU GUYS.

HEAR ME OUT.

WAIT- WAIT-

WAIT-

YOU READY???
