Bad Batch Season 3, Episode 11: Crosshair Trips On A Pebble And Performs The Worse Shot Known To Man

What about Hunter teaching Omega how to dance?? 🥺🥺🥺🥺

LIZ THIS IS TOO CUTE STOOOOP, OMG 😭

Sorry it made me think of this gif. Father/daughter fluff, leave me alone i am made of jelly

Hunter didn't fancy himself the 'dad type'. Traveling, bounty hunting, endless scrapping and fighting, and frequenting Cyd's little bar wasn't an ideal location for a child. Hunter glanced at Omega as she tapped through the holoscreen on the jukebox in the corner. Her face was so identical to his and his brothers- a replica unlike any other he had met.

He chided himself. Clones are not fathers.

But something in his nature warmed when he saw her eyes fill with that happiness when she looked at the stars, or smelled clean grass, or explored new planets. Hunter smiled to himself, running a hand over his armorless arm as he leaned on the bar, watching. Omega's brow quirked- like Tech's- and her lips pursed as she read the titles of the songs- like Wrecker's- and she skimmed the list.

"Hunter?"

Blinking, Hunter lowered his drink as the smaller clone turned to look back at him. "Yeah, kid?"

"You know any of these songs?"

Hunter lowered his cup. He was nearly finished with the drink anyway. "Lemme look." Hunter lumbered over, the taste of cheap drink sour in his mouth. Omega stepped away from the jukebox, small fingers tapping each other as they steepled, probably an Echo habit. He smiled sideways towards her, noting briefly that the rainbow light of the jukebox looked bright and demanding on her hair, especially compared to his and his brothers own dark locks. "Huh. Bunch of stuff on here." Hunter thumbed through, tagging over the list of songs.

Omega bounced on her toes as Hunter selected a song, one he vaguely recalled the name of from skimming through whatever networks he could get when he was planetside through the war.

The notes were far more lilted and bright than they were on a crackling ship radio. It was energetic, even, and Hunter looked down at Omega, feeling his lip twitch in amusement. "This whatcha wanted?"

She nodded, her whole body hopping now. Giggling as she reached up, Omega clasped Hunter's hands.

Hunter wasn't quite sure what happened. All military thought melted away and he felt a laugh, a low grumbly chuckle, reverberate in his chest as he held her hands. He was the shortest of his brothers, but even he forgot how small the child was. Hunter grinned and moved with her as she danced. Her feet stepped on the tops of his, and Hunter moved with the music, being the guide for the small girl. Omega's laugh was light. From here, war was a distant thought, or more akin to a memory of some horrible days long passed.

Sure. Normal soldiers weren't fathers.

Good thing he was from a bad batch of soldiers.

On Umbara

Rex: I think we're missing something

Fives: Teamwork?

Jesse: Cohesion?

Kix, in full medic mode: HALF OF OUR FUCKING BATTALION?!

This is soooo true her accent is so remarkable.

Rex in S1 E7: Battle Scars

The range of emotion in this man's face... From awkward gentleness to fierce protectiveness to vulnerability to reflection... Beautiful.

Tech being horrified by hunter and crosshairs temps is the most accurate thing I’ve ever read

TBB shower headcanons bc that's what my brain is on today

Crosshair has ice cold showers - and will flick/spray frigid water at people who come too close

Hunter has scalding hot showers, takes forever if he's not interrupted

Hunter & Crosshair can't shower after each other bc the temperature of the room irritates them

Echo can't have showers bc they hurt his skin so he uses a ladel and bucket with lukewarm water - sometimes he spends over an hour just meticulously cleaning his cybernetics bc they unnerve him and he's trying to get himself more used to them

Tech has showers at a scientifically perfect temperature, this took him ages to figure out and he's horrified by Hunter and Crosshair's unreasonable temps

Wrecker prefers baths but when he can't have them he has really quick and efficient showers bc he doesn't like them (or he joins echo with the bucket method, often washes Echo's back for him)

The whole batch have washed Hunter's hair at least once, usually when he's overstimulated and finds it hard to move. This often falls to Wrecker bc he's the most gentle and thorough with it - but he tends to use too much shampoo bc he squeezes the bottle too hard

Omega also prefers baths, first trying them after the batch leaves kamino. She bathes late in the day bc she's not on military time like the guys

THEY REFLECT EACH OTHER

Rebel ~ A look into Cyar’ika’s (possible) future

You are now Din Grogu, Mandalorian apprentice.

Thinking about how in The Outpost, the avalanche is a literal, external event that represents Crosshair’s internal struggle, and his world crumbling around him. Then in The Return, the ice wyrm is a literal creature, but it also represents the animosity between Hunter and Crosshair. The wyrm is literally under the surface, and it races towards Hunter and Crosshair as their argument escalates. Then, inside the bunker, Hunter says they have to get the wyrm outside the perimeter “before it tears this place apart”. If Hunter and Crosshair don’t reconcile, it will tear their squad apart from the inside just as surely as the worm will destroy the bunker from the inside.
