He Learned From The Best Drama Queen Around (it Was Fives, Fives Is The Biggest Drama Queen)

YOU GUYS I FOUND IT!! I FOUND THE INSPIRATION FOR THE ART!!!

I agree with this analysis 100%

You are never supposed to go in after a drowning person. This is swimming safety 101! You are supposed to get a floatation device to them so that they get brought up to the surface and kept there. The reason for this is that it is incredibly hard to pull a person who is unconscious to the surface, especially in waters with a current. And if the person is conscious and struggling, it is highly likely that their panic will make them climb you to try and get to the surface, impeding your own swimming. There is a high likelihood that Hunter would’ve drowned attempting to save Omega. He has no floatation device, and though she is small, she’s still pretty deep down. Crosshair was either a) going to stop Hunter outright, or b) was setting up to grab him with his cable if things went south, which they were very likely to do.

Hunter should’ve thanked Crosshair. Not because he saved Omega, but because he was ready to save Hunter. Again.

Scene analysis

There's something that struck me about this scene – I’ve always had one single interpretation for it, ever since I watched it for the first time but I haven’t seen many people interpret it that way.

The thing is, I don’t think Crosshair was thinking about saving Omega here. At least I don’t think that was at the forefront of his mind. In fact, I don’t think it occurred to him that he was repaying her for saving him until she brought it up on the platform.

What I believe Crosshair was doing in that scene was protecting Hunter. Because Hunter would have jumped after Omega and Crosshair knew it and he had to stop him from doing it. We know the water is crawling with sea monsters and littered with debris, not to mention that Hunter may well drown in his frantic urge to save Omega. He can’t see into the water as well as Crosshair after all.

And I think that’s the case because throughout those two episodes we see numerous instances of Crosshair protecting or attempting to protect his brothers, from trying to convince them that the Empire is safer to killing his own squad and helping them fight the simulation droids (in that scene he sends a bolt flying above Hunter’s shoulder to dispatch the droid he’s fighting, proving that he’s not just fighting in self-defense).

That’s why I think his brothers’ rejection hurts so much afterwards. Why he huddles down in the pod looking hurt and he’s definitely hurt there. This isn’t about the Empire anymore this is about them. They’re telling him they don’t trust him anymore even after he’s repeatedly proven he won’t hurt them now that he hasn’t got his chip. Where they once let him use their shoulders as a rifle rest without a second thought (in TCW with Tech), they now turn their weapons on him just because the barrel of his gun got near Hunter.

(To be clear the angle makes it hard to tell just how close he was to aiming at him but I if you look closely you’ll see that he’s aiming over Hunter’s shoulder and Hunter only gets in the way once he turns around.)

I also think that’s the moment it starts to click - when Hunter turns to glare at him with suspicion we see Crosshair hesitate:

The camera lingers and something in his expression shifts, as if he's finally realizing what's going on.

So yeah, to me that’s what this scene is about. Hunter goes to jump and Crosshair’s knee jerk response is to stop him somehow. It’s not about Omega, it’s not about a life debt, it’s a simple response that’s been ingrained into him over the years.

Only now it's being rejected.

Slightly spicy Wrecker fanart under the cut!!

Ive been noticing there’s not a lot of soft aftercare content in smut. Usually you just get a climax and then it ends a few paragraphs later. As someone who’s a little sex-repulsed, I really, really like the snuggling and bonding that comes before and after the “main event”, and I really wish we saw more of that. So have a soft Wrecker cuddling with Cheyenne :)

I can’t be the only one who wants to know what “NO” is….

I love looking through my drawing files because you have the boring ones like “untitled” or “hand practice” or “jack of spades” but then you have the ridiculous ones like “vulture bitch™️” or “templequisitor” or my personal favourite, “NO”

I didn’t realize it had been so long since I posted

Hello, my grandson (bübchen is a nickname that means “little boy”)

Hello Oma. Did you encourage my daughter to put a snake down her classmate’s shirt?

Yes, as a joke…

“Crosshair wasn’t expecting that. He doesn’t know what it is she’s proud of, he’s just the same as he’s always been: ornery, cruel, fearful. He is not a good man. But if this little girl says she’s found something to love in him, maybe… maybe there is hope for him after all.”

A friend of mine and I were messing around, and this idea struck me

I stole it :3
