I'll take that as you weren't able to outrun him

Not an actual tooka but rate my tooka?

Dark markings over half his face. Always looking up at me. Maintains a good attitude despite the circumstances. Absolutely don't need another one of these, 4/10

I thought you would get along with her since she doesn't like people and sits still for prolonged periods of time, silently watching.

You assume I have more than one brain cell that I have to share with my friends? Also intriguing

Hardcase: if any of us were to turn evil, who would be the scariest?

Fives: hmmm, probably-

Echo: Kix.

Jesse: Kix?

Echo: He could kill every single one of us and make it look like an accident.

Kix: *sitting in the corner* Echo is the only one I'd spare-

She wouldn't have if she knew that Trisha was gonna be her mother

This is canon and no one can tell me otherwise now

Ever wondered how Crosshair got his name?

Wrong friend but this was better than I thought.

By the way who's gonk droid is this then?

How would you feel if someone hypothetically tried to steal Gonky? Asking for a friend.

I didn't know @princeofdathomir had a friend.

How can you support this show

Creating content does not imply unequivocal support. But I'll bite. Despite its many sins, particularly with regard to representation (which is not unique among Lucasfilm stories - please read that linked post if you haven't before), I would ask, after viewing the show:

💀 Could you have more compassion for a veteran struggling to transition, recalling the whiplash of a tremendously capable Sergeant suddenly barely being able to feed his family while they live out of their car?

✋🏾 Could you more readily accept that trauma recovery is a fractious, nonlinear path, and "grumpiness" might actually herald the affected regaining sense of self by re-asserting their commitment to justice?

⚡ Could you have more patience with people whose brains work a little differently, appreciating that a blunt and unemotional communication style might not belie callousness, but represent their genuine effort to connect?

💣 Could you create more space to recognize that a scarred and physically intimidating person might also have the greatest capacity for gentleness, kindness, and emotional intelligence?

⌖ Could you offer more grace to people who are difficult to reach, because perhaps a facade of cool, unaffected competence punctuated by a quick temper is a natural reaction to achievement-based acceptance culture and the fear that if we lose control even for a moment, the consequences will be our fault?

None of this changes anything. It doesn't redeem the show's inherent issues; in fact, the good qualities only stoke my frustration because a viewer has to claw through some pretty devastating failures to see them. But that trade-off is not an anomaly in television, media, or frankly in the world. The meaningful themes that make The Bad Batch more than pretty pixels still persist. I'll leave it there.
