The Bad Batch With Dancing

The Bad Batch with dancing

this is inspired by the match-up the lovely @jt-artsandfics wrote for me, and the idea of a dancing wrecker kind of flourished into.. well, this!

warnings: none, fluff

And without further ado, LET'S GET STARTED

Hunter

-Hunter, to me at least, would strike me as the best dancer of the bunch

-but ding dong that is wrong

- once, hunter tried for an undercover mission on kantobyte

- he doesn't want to talk about it...

- his legs just do not cooperate, flailing about and crashing into his partner

-the others never let him live it down

- 'Hey hunter- i don't think your dance partner appreciated the black eye much!' to which hunter gives one of his deluxe death stares

-hunter does not enjoy dancing whatsoever, but unfortunately, omega really does

- which he doesn't get, but supports her nonetheless

- perhaps he just needs the right partner to guide him through the motions

songs that would get hunter bobbing his head: https://youtu.be/8G-XwarxyMs and https://youtu.be/xFrGuyw1V8s ( that's also a reference to my last post- the dude loves ABBA)

Tech

- prepare to be amazed..

- TECH HAS MOVES

- to him it's all patterns, so its pretty easy for him to pick up on

- he's also very light, giving him agility for some serious breakdancing

- tech favours fast pace dancing, it challenges his cognitive abilities (he repeatedly insists that)

- he tried teaching hunter and the others, in true tech fashion, but that didnt work

- he needed a new pair of goggles after that

songs that keeps tech movin' and groovin': https://youtu.be/pRpeEdMmmQ0 and https://youtu.be/cZwYpAh3bXQ ( what can say, my guy likes his fast paces)

Wrecker

- wrecker loves to dance, and is actually pretty good at it

- as a cadet, he watched some holovideos of dancers, and how quickly they maneuver, and the only thought that crossed his mind was 'huh. i can do that'

- but he needed a partner, so crosshair had to do

- wrecker learned to samba, foxtrot and jitterbug like a champ

- once he found out that tech could dance too, he was relentless

- 'tech can i dance with you???' 'no,wrecker. ' 'Awww come on please?' 'NO' ‘PLEASE, I SWEAR IM GOOD’

- Finally, tech agreed and hoo boy, that was certainly not a mistake

-They complimented each other perfectly, working like a well-oiled machine

-Wrecker also loves doing group dances, ones with minimal effort so he can do it with all of his brothers ( 🥺...i know)

- And they all do it with him, though reluctantly

songs that Wrecker really moves to: https://youtu.be/w313WejAppc (With his brothers) and https://youtu.be/HAiHEQblKeQ (with tech, specifically)

Echo

-Echo is a dad dancer and that is a hill i will die on

-When music plays on the havoc marauder, he may not be the first one dancing, but he certainly enjoys listening to it and maybe have a bit of a boogie to it ( for non brits- boogieing is dancing in a slightly awkward manner)

-He was always like that though, and the bois in the 501st were just as bad ( with exception of hardcase, fives and jesse- but not rex, he was a dad dancer no. 1)

-He doesn’t really have a preference of music to dance to

-Echo likes it all

songs that would get echo standing up and swaying:https://youtu.be/HwVnX4ZgliY and https://youtu.be/425GpjTSlS4

Crosshair

-crosshair doesn’t dance.

-At least, that’s what he wants the others to think

-In truth, him and wrecker used to watch holodances all the time

-while wrecker loved watching the partner dances, crosshair loved the ballet

-when he’s alone, he sometimes just lets himself slip into a pas de bourree, then a glissade .. the rest is classified

-He is actually a ballet nerd, he knows every term and knows exactly how to execute every move perfectly

songs that crosshair would 100% pirouette to: https://youtu.be/9cNQFB0TDfY and https://youtu.be/QxHkLdQy5f0

Omega

-Omega cannot dance, bless her heart

-does that stop her? you best bet it doesnt!

-she stumbles,trips and falls but she couldnt care less

-all that matters for her is that she has fun

-and the boys love her for that

-their faces light up when they see their little sister enjoy herself, laughing despite everything shes been through

Songs that omega loves to blast: https://youtu.be/iPUmE-tne5U and https://youtu.be/Y66j_BUCBMY

Ok so those are my bad batch dancing headcanons, i hope you liked them! Apologies for the old songs, i couldnt think of any modern songs they’d like although i’m curious to hear what you all think. Love you all and thank you for reading

xxxx

I'm currently reading the Ahsoka novel and its so good! ahsoka is also gay as gay gets for Kaeden, and i'll die on that hill

Reblog if you know who Kaeden Larte is.

I love them too.. i just wonder if they'll be gamer buddies too, seeing omega's holochess prowess

wait in S1:E8 Reunion on Bracca, Tech gives Omega the data rod and tells her “to copy the master drive / under that panel” before returning to his work—so that means Tech HAS spent a good amount of time previous to that moment teaching her how to preform little transfers or technology related activities.

...I love them

Thank you so much op! I'll be using these references in future xx

Temuera Morrison Reference Sheets ❤️

Let’s face it. The Clone Troopers are severely white washed. Beyond the skin lightening, their features are animated very Euro Centric. But together, we can change that!

Temuera Morrison is a Māori man. This indigenous group is a subgroup of the larger Polynesian ethnicity! Personally, I am Native Hawaiian (or Kānaka Maoli) so tonight I wanted to do my part to unwhitewash the Clones and share some thoughts and insights!

Polynesian genetics are often seen in round traits. Round faces, round noses and round eyes! These study sheets are mostly based on his facial features and skin tone, but don’t forget, Polynesians are also known for large bone structures, meaning bigger body builds!

First, I made two face studies, one of a younger Temuera, and another of Temuera around Jango’s age.

This is followed by a skin tone study. The left side is all photos using indoor lighting, and the right side is outdoor lighting. The skin color palette is then placed over a light and dark background, so you can see a comparison.

Thank you for making content that honors Temuera’s culture and provides representation for Māori and other Polynesian fans! You have no idea how much it means to see you guys put forth an effort. It warms my heart, Aloha ❤️

Happy creating!

this bitch aro........................ Y E E T

Okay, so you're aromatic and aromantic. Are you also aerodynamic?

let’s find out! *defenestrates self*

The Bad Batch's favourite ABBA songs

I don't even know what to say about this... uh, enjoy?

warnings: none if you don't count crack content

ALRIGHT, LET'S GET STARTED!!1!

Hunter:

-Though he doesn't want to admit it, he listens to ABBA religiously

- like seriously, after a mission, he used to dump his stuff on his bunk, find a secluded spot and just let the lyrics wash over him

- his brothers secretly all know how much he likes their songs, because when the others play ABBA, he just smiles to himself because he knows every lyric, but can't afford to embarrass himself.

- he loves 'why did it have to be me' but there's one that really hits home to him now with him being a buir'

-Guessed yet? it's 'slipping through my fingers' that has hunter tearing up every time

-he just imagines omega as the song plays and oh it hurts him so, so much ;-;

- he listens to it almost daily, because now he understands

https://youtu.be/hRr7qRb-7k4

Tech

. this dude LOVES 'waterloo'

. he listens to it on repeat as he works on repairs around the ship

. he points out the historical accuracies (and inaccuracies, he's tech after all)

. he even hums it to himself when he's distracted

. with the other songs, he doesn't mind them, but for tech, there's just something about songs about history ( yes that means rasputin by boney M fits that category- but that's for another time)

https://youtu.be/Sj_9CiNkkn4

Wrecker

- oh boy, where to start with wrecker

-he loves ABBA and it not shy to show it

- he just belts the lyrics wherever he wants, whenever he wants

- well, the lyrics he knows anyways

- his favourite would probably be 'super trouper'

- easiest to remember in his opinion

- but he thinks 'the winner takes it all' is too sad so he refuses to listen to it

https://youtu.be/BshxCIjNEjY

Echo

- in terms of music, echo seems like the guy who prefer calm, laid back beats to bands like ABBA

- but that couldn't be more wrong

- in his 501st days, him and fives sang to 'dancing queen' on the daily, coordinated dance moves and everything

-but now he can't really bring himself to listening to that, though he doesn't tell anyone else that

- his new favourite is 'our last summer'

- it reminds him of his 501st days without him sobbing his eyes out

- its just the right type of nostalgia for him

https://youtu.be/KoyNlVQbUPc

Crosshair:

- crosshair says he hates his brother's weird music taste

- but that's just words

- he often subtly taps his foot to some of the songs

- for others, he justs sit back and watches tech, wrecker and omega take the floor, even fake clapping for them

-but being completely honest, it's not completely fake

-but listening to that much ABBA means that he'd certainly have a preference

-namely 'the winner takes it all'

- he loves playing that one and watch wrecker go 'nononoNOnoNo TURN IT OFF it's too sad!!'

-free entertainment, really

https://youtu.be/92cwKCU8Z5c

Omega

Omega was probably unfamiliar with music, as kamino probably didn’t allow it

But that changed with the bad batch

She was introduced to ABBA by wrecker ( i know hunter wanted to, but wrecker beat him to it)

Needless to say she loves it

her favourites are ‘angeleyes’ and ‘mamma mia’

She actually sings them well ( omega can sing like an angel and i will die on that hill)

She also played ‘dancing queen’ but saw that echo was upset so she switched the song

Wrecker and omega love singing to them, and omega hums the lyrics all. The. time.

https://youtu.be/728c7L_WjxQ https://youtu.be/unfzfe8f9NI (omega gets two- she deserves it)

So those are my headcanons about the bad batch and ABBA, and they’re just a little cursed, but mostly wholesome. Idk the idea of the bad batch listening to music and actually enjoying it is the purest thing and i had so much fun writing this

Love you all xxx
