Nothing But Love For MY Captains ❤️

Bout time you made some…

how you doing king?

Can't complain! Just thinkin about tacos.

How does it feel to eat take out from a place that doesn't have a baja blast? Do you even bother eating at those places?

I mean... Virtually anything is better than ration bars, so... Can't be too picky!

Humble as always.

This is still my favorite scene from The Bad Batch.

Just thinking about Howzer saying "I will not abandon my squad. They are good men. I have to try to get through to them."

Just thinking about how deep this must have hit Hunter for him to stop and hesitate, looking back at Howzer -

- and then Hunter does leave with his squad, but I also think he senses Crosshair's attention being on them as he turns back to look -

- and I just keep thinking about how conflicted Hunter must have been all season long, but I imagine the inner conflict reaches a peak here.

Because he is abandoning a member of his squad. He hasn't been able to get through to Crosshair - granted, the last time they met wasn't exactly conducive to deep conversation anyway, but Crosshair, the brother Hunter remembers, was a good man.

And yet... Hunter has to look out for the other four members of his squad, too. He can't abandon them, either. As he told Omega earlier, "Being strategic means knowing your limitations." And he can't risk everyone else, all the other good people on his squad, in a mad attempt to blast through endless Imperial resources and kidnap an angry brother who has given precious little indication that he wants to return to the squad anyway.

I do think Hunter is angry at himself, and at Crosshair; but mostly I think he is hurt, and confused, and uncertain, and trying to weigh the risks and figure out how best to protect the family - including Crosshair.

And I think Hunter spends a lot of time up until Crosshair returns trying to figure out how he could have gotten through to him.

And it just breaks my heart 💔

😳

If Howzer was stationed on Ryloth for as long as I think most of us assumed, then he absolutely knows Twi’leki. Maybe he’s fluent, maybe he only knows the curse words, but he absolutely mumbles it under his breath whenever he’s mad, and Rex and Gregor are just like 👀🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello! It's so nice to see you on the holonet. I just want to let you know that DILF stands for Dude I Lovingly Fancy. You have so many fans here.

Oh! Well, uh, thanks! Heh. That’s… not so bad…

Thanks for the unfortunately fitting expression capture, @starqueensthings

Maybe someone thought you could use a reminder.

What kind of man is Howzer? 1000 word minimum MLA format due in an hour.

FIRST OF ALL, I opened this at 6am my time. Closed it, laid back down in bed... and my mind immediately started racing with a thesis, concrete details, and commentary.

Then I thought, "No one would read that... And you have so much to do this week... And writing time should be spent on the Hunter fic anyway... And that'd be a silly waste of time... And I think anon was joking..."

So, without further ado...

The body has a word count of 1124, and the entire work is available also in photographic form for those who are opposed to clicking a link. 😉

I expect compensation for this. 😉

You and two other people you might know seemed to have made my tumblr crush list 😄 idk what to make of this (or what you make of this lol) but I wanted to let you know bc you're a cool chap!

Aww shucks! Well thanks! I really like one of those other two! 😉

Can we circulate this on a different post? 😬

this is me jumping on the captain howzer simp train

Hello, Captain! I'd like to "Get To Know You."

How about: ⚡️ - Do you have any scars?

No, no, no...I'm just being silly (see Wolffe's Anon ask from earlier.) (By the way, your scars are beautiful.)

My real questions:

😂 - Are you ticklish?

🐷 - What’s your favourite animal?

Thanks!

Carol (@clonethirstingisreal)

I bet you would. 😉 Ergh... just kidding. That was funnier in my head.

⚡️ - Do you have any scars?

I did see Wolffe squirming at that ask... And while we both have distinguishing facial scars, we are battle-hardened soldiers, after all, and with the exception of Captain Rex on Saleucami, you've only seen the rest of us in armor or blacks, so...

😂 - Are you ticklish?

I would have to be an idiot to address that, because if I say no, there's always someone who wants to prove me wrong, and if I say yes, well... You can imagine what happens. Hera is the only one who knows, so let's keep it that way.

🐷 - What’s your favourite animal?

Definitely not a blurrg, I'll tell you that. I don't know... Haven't had much time around them, to be honest. I'm allergic to Tookas though.
