Everyone In Torrent Was Convinced Fives Was Responsible For The Pranks They Suffered. It Made Sense,

I can assure you that I am not in fact, a clone.

I think anyway

Any advice for someone looking to improve their marksmanship score? I want to get onto the team this year but my scores have been garbage lately.

Play a real sport, ideally one that involves exercise and teamwork. Guns are not toys.

I haven't seen dancing pumpkin guy ONCE this year, are you guys okay?

if Crosshair and Wolffe met

Crosshair: we don’t usually work with regs

Wolffe: yeah well i don’t usually put up with talking twigs.

Wolffe: *catches toothpick*.

Crosshair: *violently shakes

I assumed you got lung damage from cigarettes or something. Not a toothpick. Then again I'm not the brightest person in the galaxy

Do you buy toothpicks in bulk? And have you ever choked on one before?

Why do you think my voice sounds like this

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.

This-

I can't look at this and not think of it being Tech (column 2) correcting Crosshair (column 1), who can't control his passive aggressive nature

Dystopian novels be like “there’s no music but our national anthem and this forbidden rebel song” as if all of earth really let go of ABBA music

I found out by my group chat sending this monstrosity

Still giggling that the way I found out the queen died was me getting railed and the news popping on in the background

Fettuccine Alfredo. I know I'm basic

Send me your favorite pasta dish that isn't spaghetti and I will tell you an obscure thing that makes Captain Rex cry on a normal day.

Every reblog removes one HP from the queen
