"This One's Got A Face Tattoo...real Subtle."I Really Liked Playing With Lights And Shadows, And Tried

"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

Edit: please forgive me I can’t spell “Above” apparently

Echo hates medbay. He hates going. He hates being hooked up to machines and he will avoid it if given the option. He hates it so much the batch starts going with him just to make sure he actually attends.

When Tech comes with him he chats the whole time. He distracts Echo while the medics work and he clarifies and asks questions when he feels the need. Tech is an excellent distraction that Echo would gladly take any day of the week.

Wrecker treats medical visits like a game. He plays with supplies and makes faces over the medic’s shoulders to make Echo laugh. The medics always know there’s some shenanigans going on (they’re too smart not to) but at least Echo isn’t squirming and scowling at everything they want him to do so they’ll consider that a win. Echo is grateful when Wrecker comes with him because he’s never bored.

Crosshair makes every medbay visit feel like a mission. He stands quietly in the corner and watches diligently. Echo’s never felt quite so observed before. If Echo even looked uncomfortable Crosshair would square up like a particularly prickly guard dog. He turns into such a hover hen when the medic even implies something might be wrong. ‘Is it because you haven’t eaten since last night? Someone get a ration bar.’ ‘I bet it’s because you took Wrecker’s night shift last night. Don’t look at me like that I know you did.’ Echo loves him but also wants to throttle him.

Hunter questions everything. ‘Is it really necessary to take his blood today?’ ‘You’re not our usual medic. We’d like the usual medic.’ ‘We have a mission in one rotation we’ll need to make this snappy.’ The second the medic is gone to run labs, ya know do his job, Hunter leans in so no one else can hear them and is like ‘I’ll break us out of here don’t you worry.’ Echo rolls his eyes but mumbles a grouchy ‘thank you’.

Echo used to bulk at them coming with him but he never refuses them now. Whether it’s a check up or physical or illness or injury. He hates medbays. But he loves the batch.

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 ❤️

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

Little piece of info for ya 😭
