About the Zine

@shyranno gave me the idea from one of their the Bad Batch: Downtime comics that Crosshair might have saved Omega in s1e16 out of love for Hunter, and not because he felt like he owed the kid. Somebody else, I can’t recall who though, convinced me of it with their interpretation of the scene: they said that Crosshair was preparing to stun Hunter to prevent him from trying to rescue the drowning child. He just happened to be able to see her and was able to reach her with his cable.

Anyone who knows anything about water rescue knows you’re not supposed to go in after a drowning person. You’re supposed to throw them a floatation device, especially in deep water. The reason for this is because the excess weight can drag you under as well, and their struggling can prevent you from swimming. Both people more than likely end up drowning.

So I think Crosshair, despite caring enough for Omega to want her safe from the impending fight between himself and his brothers, wasn’t planning on rescuing her from the ocean. It was a coincidence. And this piece came from my desire to see Hunter concede to Crosshair’s point that Omega is in danger as long as she is with the Batch. It might not be as much danger as if they’d left her on Kamino, or with the Lawquaines, but she is still in danger.

It’s also an excuse to indulge in a little Hunter hugging Omega properly, because that’s clearly not gonna happen in cannon anytime soon 😂

MORE PAINTING SHENANIGANS!!!

This time featuring Fairy Ring! It’s been ages since I drew her last, so please forgive any weird anatomy.

(Also please nobody get on my case about the horn gradient and sparkles. I know it’s not show/movie accurate. But I want glitter. If it bugs you, just pretend it’s makeup <3)

Here it is!!! I really like how it turned out!!

I’m drawing a cool knife and I thought you might like a preview! It’s made of carved antler, so the blade connects seamlessly into the handle and the decorations tied to the pommel are snail shells and glass beads.

That is cool. I'd love to see the finished product.

I find it fascinating, and perhaps a bit frightening, that so many people are attracted to someone who manipulates as openly as you do. I will admit, it’s effective: I have to remind myself every so often that the sort of experience you propose would be fun for it’s novelty, but I’d soon feel stifled by the power imbalance.

Is the psychology of your subjects something you’re supposed to be researching? Or is it accidental to whatever other experiments you are running? Either way, are you publishing the research somewhere? I’d be interested in what you’re learning, and how exactly you made your control group, if you have one.

Out of curiosity, do you have any theories on what it is about being an Imperial that makes you so much more attractive to people? The Rogue Clone Tech doesn’t seem to have half as many thirsty people following him around, but nearly every one of your asks involves something. I suppose it could be that the non-imperial Tech has just as many and doesn’t respond to them all. I don’t know what his ask-box looks like. But you also flirt back far more often, which I suspects helps to fuel it. Any thoughts?

Do you not think any iteration of my exceptional self would attract as many loyal followers? @exceptionally-minded is just as capable of drawing attention, though he chooses to do so by playing do-gooder while frolicking around the galaxy Riot Racing and interfering with Imperial operations.

I am of a different mindset. This mindset also requires the use of a disclaimer on the HoloNet so as to insure nosey younglings below eighteen years of age are not tempted to embrace the dark side before it is permissible. You will find that @imperial-sniper, @imperial-strategist, @imperial-demolition-expert, and @imperial-tracker do the same.

Our differences are what makes us both unique. Perhaps my abundant magnetism and my affinity for what some may consider atrocious or perverse has something to do with it. Human beings are known to have a tendency to be fascinated with that which both frightens and excites them.

But do take a moment to reflect. What seems like flirting to you may very well be the fine art of coercion in practice. Affecting someone's mind without them being aware of it - and filling said person with the supposition that their thoughts and feelings are indeed their own - is a tactic that is easily employed in part because they so desire to be subverted willingly.

Food for thought: It is not I you should be questioning, but those who wish to grovel at my feet.

Tech found a bug fren <3

He was crying.

You guys, Crosshair was actually crying.
