Whatever he's done, he's your brother.
Plus one cool detail of the third season. Cross began the application with the Hunter where he realized his mistakes, where his opinion changed to the diametrically opposite. this snow-covered planet and the vulture in my eyes are a symbol of the Cross's changes, its downward point and elevation in the eyes of the brothers.
In general, raising the topic of vultures, I became interested in their symbolism in principle. That's what I managed to find.
The vulture is usually associated with death, decay, and purification. He can often be seen circling over carrion. His preference for collecting garbage led to the emergence of symbolism associated with purification and renewal. Despite the seemingly gloomy associations, the Vulture also symbolizes resourcefulness and efficiency, as it plays a vital ecological role in cleaning up remains and processing nutrients.
Vultures have been a part of mythology and cultural beliefs in various societies. In ancient Egypt, the Vulture was a symbol of maternal care and protection, often associated with the goddess Nekhbet. In Native American traditions, the Vulture's predilection for scavengers is interpreted as a symbol of purification and renewal. In Tibetan culture, the practice of "heavenly burials" suggests that vultures eat the remains of the deceased, which means the impermanence of life and the natural cycle of life and death. The unique role of the vulture in nature has made it a powerful and complex symbol in various myths and traditions.
Sticking to the version with cleaning and updating, this is exactly what we see in the example of CT-9904. In the beginning, he was a loyal imperial dog, and after Mayday's death, he began his journey of more significant changes. His outlook on life was "renewed", and in the fifth episode he began his "purification" in the eyes of the Hunter, with whom it is basically difficult for him to establish a normal relationship from the first season.
I also tend to believe that up to this point, the sniper had dreamed of this bird several times. Before understanding, a dream about a Vulture may reflect a feeling of a situation or relationship that is in decline or in need of purification. This may symbolize the need to purge oneself of negative influences or find value in what others have abandoned. Psychologically, the Vulture may represent an aspect of the subconscious mind associated with the end, transformation, or understanding of the natural cycles of life.
Well, it also seems to me that this is the same bird that was in episode 12 of season 2. I think no one buried Mayday and his corpse was simply stolen by this bird.
That's such a creepy headcannon.
Exactly. In other words, this scene is steeped in symbolism and small details. This... really cool.
I love the attention to detail. Two islands of light. Crosshair on one, the others on the other. They perfectly displayed the huge gap that was created in the first season by Cross. Now he needs to regain the trust of his brothers after almost a year of living apart. From now on, the arc of Crosshair's correction begins in the eyes of the rest of the squad, his rehabilitation begins now and it is not known how soon he will be able to become a full-fledged part of this family again. When they trust him again and accept him as their own.
Omega will most likely help him with this. She was generally a ray of light, a supportive sister who you want to protect. She's the only one who believed in Cross, who trusts him even after all this time. Now that her brother has stopped listening to his demons and has begun his redemption, she must help him become Clone 99 again.
I sincerely hope that his story will not end with his death, otherwise we have already lost one.
Family reunion. We've been waiting for this since the season 2 finale. And I am completely silent about the embrace of father and daughter.
the way his hands tighten around her and his eyes are closed
Context: me and my friend used to play that game where you fold a bit of paper in half and you each draw a half of the drawing and i found THIS that we must’ve done together 2/3 years ago
I obviously did the top half, and they did the bottom half, and I have to say it’s rather accurate 😭
Tried a different artstyle and I don’t know how to feel about it (code for i hate it)
alternate version under cut!!
yeah nevermind idk if i like this anymore
(i used Tem’s face as a reference)
might make this into an actual piece idk yet
This is a lovely conversation me and my friends had and I thought I’d add tbb into it 😭
Idk why it just felt like a conversation they’d have too 😭

So, @techsbrowneyes, @sgthunter001 and I have been playing Red Dead Online for about three years now. We made Hunter, Tech, and Crosshair as characters and have been roleplaying them. Here’s the result in a fun, hilarious video that any Bad Batch fan won’t want to miss!
I try not to write negative posts, but. . . man, TBB Season 3 has brought out the worst in me. I waited (hopeful, eager, naïve) an entire year just to be disappointed. Joy.
So. . . @techsbrowneyes expressed concern that they (they being the writers) made CX-2 resemble Tech in every possible way on purpose just to spark hope amongst Tech fans and keep them coming back. If this is indeed the case, then. . . shame on the writers! How cruel can you be?
This post isn’t to say CX-2 isn’t Tech. There’s still a good possibility—albeit a very, very slim one—that Tech is still alive. But. . . my hope is fast dwindling. Hope used to be a major theme in Star Wars. What happened to that? This season is far from hopeful. Far. It’s been nothing but dark and depressing and. . . dare I say. . . meaningless. It feels like we’ve been going around in circles.
TBB season 3 is inferior compared with its predecessors. Those seasons are masterpieces. This one? Not so much. And it isn’t just because Tech is gone. No. . . Echo has scarcely been in it. Hunter and Wrecker have taken a backseat. Hunter seems to be severely detached; it’s like he doesn’t really care anymore (I miss the old Hunter). Each time Tech is brought up, they act like he never mattered to them. I mean, c’mon! Show a little emotion.
This season hasn’t been very fulfilling. No longer do I look forward to episodes. I’ll watch the remaining episodes, but if the finale doesn’t end well, I may never watch season 3 again. I’ll continue to bask in the glory that is season 1 and 2, and the Bad Batch episodes from season 7 of the Clone Wars, but that’s it.
I was so looking forward to TBB seaon 3. Should I hope that the last episodes will be any good? Probably not. Nevertheless, I will, because hope is all I have left right now, and that’s what Star Wars is built on, right?
Hmm… Can that be Crosshair standing next to Hunter? Sure looks like him. 👀
I just had to do something of our boys as little cadets. They look so cute and peaceful when they’re sleeping ❤️
*Crosshair, teaching Omega how to shoot his sniper rifle*
Crosshair: Aim for Hunter’s feet.
Omega, horrified: But… why?!
Crosshair: Let’s scare the bejeezus out of him.
Rewatching The Bad Batch for the millionth time. It never gets old.
My hope has been somewhat restored. You guys… there’s a strong possibility Tech is indeed still alive. Just watch the panel… lots of hints. Maybe I’m just seeing and hearing what I want to see and hear but… Tech is still alive.
I am excited for S3. I hope we get to see the original Bad Batchers together again. I hope the wait isn’t too long. And… and I think we are indeed going to see a Clone rebellion.
What if we never get to see the five of them together again?
After TBB panel today, a little bit of hope died in me that Tech might still be alive. But with S3 being the last one, I can’t stand the thought of not getting to see the whole squad back together again. As far as I’m concerned, no ending will be acceptable except for an ending in which they are all present and alive. And final season or not, without Tech there is no show.
*After escaping Mount Tantiss, Crosshair, Tech, and Omega exit the shuttle they stole from Hemlock to rendezvous with Hunter, Wrecker, and Echo*
*Wrecker gets all teary-eyed seeing Tech alive*
Hunter, to Tech: Y-you’re alive!
Tech: *adjusting his new goggles* Was there ever any doubt?
*Echo smiles*
Hunter, to Crosshair: It’s good to have you back, Cross.
Crosshair: *a slight smirk on his lips* Did you miss me?
It's still weird to see him without armor.
When you remember that canonically Hunter does not have bone tattoos on his arms like he does in fanon 😩
Cadet Hunter & Crosshair! Just started drawing, but these two are definitely my favorites 😍

Comments & Kudos are appreciated ❤️
Finally 🙌🏼❤️
Now all that‘s missing is a hug with Cross 🥹🥹
What else do you need to recover than Lula, new toothpicks, a beautiful sunset on Pabu, regrowing hair and brotherly love?
Come back home Crossy ❤️🩶
The Dad Batch Christmas Edition 💝🎄
It took me a while, but I‘m still very happy with this 😊 guess whats in Hunter’s present?
Merry Christmas everyone ❤️
There‘s just one person who she’s looking at like this 🥰 Favourite comfy characters ❤️
I just began with (digital) drawing two weeks ago so I‘m open for any beginner tipps 🙌🏼
But already proud of Hunter‘s helmet and the fact that he takes off his glove to make her feel skin to skin 🫶🏻

Omega growing out of her “sweet happy-go-lucky child” phase and into her “moody emotional teenager” phase would be quite the upheaval in the Bad Batch household, because Hunter is probably devastated and emotional and a little scared about it all because that’s his little girl, but Crosshair just smirks and buys a pack of extra crunchy toothpicks because his time has come.
This is kinda dumb lol because I literally know that these men are all just copy paste, but sometimes I see GIFs of members of TBB and am just struck by how similar they look to each other.
Like, since they all look unique because of their enhancements and hair and style, I don’t necessarily look right at them and see them as identical like with the other clones. But sometimes Hunter will smirk and he just looks so much like Crosshair, or Tech’s eyes will widen and he looks just like Wrecker, or Wrecker will glare and he looks just like Hunter…it’s just like, fantastic. These animators could solve world peace
I’ve seen different headcanons about why Crosshair has silver hair, and I think most of them involve something with his advanced aging gene. I feel like Crosshair would be super sensitive about it, like to him it’s a sign that even his defects are defective, and he’s constantly worried that the aging issue will affect the rest of him and not just his hair. And I feel like maybe the others are aware of this, so one day they sneak a bunch of posters of celebrities with silver hair who people still find incredibly cool and attractive into their room and start dropping hints like “man that guy looks cool, I wish my hair would do that” and “dang I’ll be lucky if I even HAVE hair when I age” and Crosshair will never admit it, but it makes him feel like, way cool. And a lot, lot better about his hair
This thought came to me at work today, but what if at one point the Marauder kept having issues with its navigation system or something?? And Hunter kept filing reports for it, but since he’s kinda lazy when it comes to reporting he just writes “tech issues” and hits submit
And then one day he gets a call from Cody, and Cody is like, “hey, uh…is Tech okay??” And Hunter’s like, what do you mean. And then Cody produces three months’ worth of reports that say “tech issues” and goes, “Well, apparently, he’s having problems…”
Crosshair never lets him live it down
Hunter wasn’t jealous watching Omega chew on a toothpick just like Crosshair. He just knew her sarcastic potential and was terrified that Crosshair would turn her into his evil, sassy prodigy, and he only has the mental capacity to deal with one of those in his squad
Hi friends, could I have some TBB fanfic recs???
I love cute little domestic ones, and stories about the shenanigans they got up to during their down time. Also, missions from before Kaller happened (before or after Echo, either is fantastic)
I’m going on a long trip and I need stories to hold me over XD
