DAMN

I love how the bad batch gave is the backstory of why the ghost can change its signature and I love that it is because an autistic loser who was the brother of a friend of Hera’s decided to teach children war crimes and that same autistic loser happened to be a part of the same squad as the clone who tried to kill her husband during the clone wars

I thought of this while driving- which member of the Bad Batch absolutely CANNOT parallel park?

The moment I was first struck by how excellent of a leader Hunter is:

Because here's the thing: Hunter DOES let his choices be debated. He not only lets his brothers share their opinions, he welcomes them, and he takes their opinions into consideration (see: every single discussion leading up to Hunter making a decision about a mission throughout the show). He may not agree with the opinions presented and he may choose a different option, but he WILL listen. And he never, ever acts like he is infallible or that his opinions are always right.

Hunter may be the leader, but he doesn't set himself above his brothers. He doesn't act like he's better than them or that he's entitled to their deference. He is very skilled at organizing them and the plans based on their individual skill sets and how they work together as a team; he can make decisions and come up with plans quickly and efficiently in the heat of battle, and I'm sure all these skills are what led to him becoming the sergeant. But what makes him a leader is that he trusts his squad just as much as they trust him, and allows them to make their own decisions.

Above all, he loves his squad and always looks out for the safety and wellbeing of his teammates; and not only that, he respects them as individuals and wants their input.

And they all know it.

And I love Hunter for it ❤️

I'm really appreciate that Tech doesn't fit in the trope of "scrawny nerd man is weak". I love that he's a huge nerd and an elite soldier.

I love scenes where his strength is shown like when he literally carries echo on his back up that ventilation shaft when they save him. Or when he peels back the freaking metal wall.

My favorite one has to be when he's bitching at Wrecker for dropping the ipsium and they're just like

Wrecker: You carry it then!

Tech: Fine! >:(

Then he just slings that huge container onto his back.

"This one's got a face tattoo...real subtle." I really liked playing with lights and shadows, and tried my hand at it again with Hunter this time. I wanted to make his skull tattoo the highlight, almost glowing. Reference cred studio.voyager on pexels/IG
