cutest joonie opening his eyes extra wide when taking a bite of his food 🥺
already posted this, but i deleted it bc i hated sam's face lolz so i fixed it
Omg those first steps HC’s were so cute 🥺🥺 I didn’t know that dad batch was something I needed in my life but now I’m obsessed. Do you think you could do one where they’re putting their babies down for a nap, maybe they’re singing to them? Or maybe one where they’re teaching them/trying to see if they also share their abilities? Or maybe feeding them with a bottle 🥺🥺 omg you can use one or all of these if you feel like it 😂😂
Aloha!
Thank you! Yeah, I'm not that much of a kids and baby trope/topic/theme fan, but occasionally I have an idea that fits a request like this 😅 Well, let me see about the 'putting to sleep' thing 😊 And sorry for the wait!
The Bad Batch HCs - Baby's Lullaby
Mostly Fluff
______________
Hunter
It's one of those rare quiet moments. Hunter may have had the hardest day of his life, yet, with his child in his arms, he comes to rest. He cradles it gently and quietly tells in a soft voice of the things he wants to do and will do when the child is older.
"I'm going to teach you everything I know, your daddy is going to show you how to survive out there. We're going to have a lot of fun, I'm going to teach you how to fish, how to track, and how to make fires in the wilderness without any tools."
You watch him do this with a smile and say, "You're going to turn our kid into a survivalist?"
Hunter smirks.
"Can't hurt. Besides, this is wonderful, valuable time I get to spend with our offspring"
Hunter's calm voice finally lulls the baby to sleep, and he carefully places the little one in the crib and covers the baby up.
"You're doing so great with our child," you say in a whisper.
He puts an arm around you and peers into the cradle.
"It's coming naturally, never in my life has anything felt so right and natural as our little family."
Echo
The baby in his arms, he hums soft, gentle melodies, now and then he says soft, loving words.
"Daddy loves you, my little miracle, you are so, so loved".
Echo overflows with fatherly affection, protectiveness and gentleness. Never in his life would he have expected to experience this miracle. A child of his own, a small family, a real life. He looks at you lovingly with the baby in his arms.
Very gently and softly, he says, "I am so grateful".
You blink in surprise.
"What do you mean?"
He smirks, gently cradles the baby in his arms and says, "That we met, that I am allowed to experience this love, that I am allowed to love. That were allowed to create this little miracle together. That we met and were allowed to create this little miracle together. There are no words to express my gratitude properly."
You smile tenderly at him, stand up, walk over to him and kiss his cheek.
"Echo, our child and I are grateful, for you, your love and care you give us. We are very happy, we couldn't have gotten it any better".
With a smile, he puts the baby in the cradle, who has since fallen asleep, and covers it up. He takes a deep breath and reaches for your hand, his fingers intertwining with yours.
"I will protect this, us, our little family with my life, always".
Wrecker
He is so fascinated. Very gently and lovingly, he holds your baby in his strong arms.
With a grin, he says, "It's so tiny. Look at that little finger, that tiny nose".
You smile. Of course a baby is small, but in Wrecker's arms, the child seems even smaller and somehow the sight is incredibly sweet. The hardened soldier, a beefy giant holding his little child in his arms, so full of love and gentleness.
"I love you," you say softly.
Wrecker looks at you and smiles, "I love you too, I love us, our family. We are a great team."
"We are," you agree.
Wrecker looks at the little one and says, "We are going to discover so many things together, wait until you get to go to your first fair, it's incredible fun"
The idea is incredibly sweet, in your mind's eye you can already see Wrecker storming a fair with your child full of verve and joy.
Wrecker continues, "Uncle Tech will be your teacher, he'll teach you things like math and stuff, but there's still time".
You grin to yourself. In fact, Tech has already offered to teach the child while you were still in labor. At that moment, you didn't really have the nerve to respond, but in hindsight, you're grateful for the offer and very likely you'll take it.
When Wrecker finally puts the baby gently in the cradle and tucks it in, you stand beside him, watching. Fascinated, as always, by the giant's careful gentleness.
"I love watching you do that," you whisper.
"Yeah?" he asks, surprised.
"You do it so wonderfully, so lovingly".
Wrecker smiles contentedly and kisses your forehead.
Tech
He tries several things, cradling, humming, soft words, usually mixing it all together. It's fascinating to see Tech fully focused on your child, you love watching him do it. Somehow he is a little different in those moments, more open and that adorable smile, you could melt away.
You hear him say softly and gently to the baby, "There's so much to discover, so much to learn. The Galaxy has a lot in store for you. Little by little I will show you everything, and some you will probably discover on your own."
After a while of gently rocking the child up and down, he puts the baby down, covers it up and says softly, "Let's hope you inherit your mother's looks and my mind."
You frown, though with a small smirk, as he comes to you, and you say, "I'm not sure if I'm offended or flattered."
Tech adjusts his goggles with a deft finger and says matter-of-factly with raised brows, "My dear, you are the most beautiful creature in the Galaxy, your cognitive abilities are not underdeveloped but still inferior to mine. Is it not a reasonable desire to want to see the best of both of us united in this child?"
You sigh softly, and pinch his side. He flinches and looks at you reproachfully, but then kisses your forehead.
"It doesn't matter what the future holds," he finally says, "I will always love you and our child with all my heart."
You smirk and say, "That sounds better".
"It's true" Tech adds seriously, but then smiles as well.
Crosshair
The baby is crying and Crosshair is tense, cradling it carefully in his arms, his brow furrowed.
"Come on, little Asskicker, don't cry, you're supposed to be sleeping".
You watch him with a furrowed brow and say, "Honey, you're tense, the baby senses it"
" Bullshit" he grumbles, but the baby cries louder and louder.
He sighs and tries to collect himself. What does he know about children? He never wanted any. Now he's got one, and his feelings are mixed. He loves you, and basically he loves the child, but he wasn't prepared for this, he didn't really want this path for his life. Crosshair is having trouble adjusting to the new situation, he is stressed and the baby senses it.
He wants to curse, but suppresses it. Once again he takes a deep breath, continues to cradle the baby and begins to hum softly and talk to the little bundle in a gentle voice. Gradually the child becomes calmer and Crosshair seems to relax as well.
"See you little asskicker, there you go, a good kid, that's my little rug rat".
You grin in relief and amusement, full of affection. It's a picture you never expected to see, some time ago, but it's a beautiful one. Crosshair with your child in his arms, with the gentlest expression on his face you've ever seen on him.
When the baby finally falls asleep, he puts it in the cradle and covers it.
On silent soles, he sneaks away from the cradle to you.
"How do you do this every day?" he asks in a whisper.
"Honestly? I don't know. It needs to be done, and I want the baby to be well taken care of, so I do what needs to be done, out of love but also out of necessity."
Crosshair looks over his shoulder to the cradle.
"The crying is definitely your genetic material," he says dryly.
"Very funny," you return, nudging him in the side.
"Yeah," he says, putting his arm around you, "All the insolence comes from your gene pool."
"You can kiss my ass" you grumble softly with a smirk as you leave the room together.
"See? Yeah, I love you too, Kitten".

Bad Batch - Sleeping/Cuddling Headcanons
Author’s Note: I've had these in my drafts since I started this blog a year ago, so... enjoy? :3
Relationships: Tech x Gn!Reader, Crosshair x Gn!Reader, Hunter x Gn!Reader, Wrecker x Gn!Reader, and Echo x Gn!Reader
Warnings: One or two very mild hints of lewd content, so I'm being very safe 18+ only
✦ Wrecker ✦
Wrecker has always found the feeling of sleeping with something- or someone- in his arms soothing. Maybe it's the weight, or just the feeling of his arms cradling around something soft. Lula was always there for him, and he still has the stuffed tooka sitting comfortably, and close by, in the corner of his bunk.
When you came along, you ended up replacing the plush tooka in a way; Serving as a new, larger thing to hold.
Whether he's on his back and you're on his chest, or on his side and he's got your front or back against his chest, Wrecker will always have both arms effectively caging you in a hug; Holding you tight.
When it's cold, as The Marauder often gets when you're in hyperspace, it's magical. This man is a human heater in it's purest form, and him snuggling close is warmer than almost any blanket.
And also waking up after some sleep is almost always a highlight. You'll get a kiss and a 'good morning' (even if you're in hyperspace and gods know what time it is) before you have to break apart and get out of bed. Or his bunk. Or the co-pilot's seat because you fell asleep in his lap again.
But Wrecker is usually a heavy sleeper, so you've become a master at slowly wriggling your way out if you need to in the middle of the 'night', and then slipping right back in, feeling his arms re-tighten once you return into his reach.
Every now and again however Wrecker will be latched onto you too tight to allow you freedom, and you end up having to wake him up in order to escape.
Sometimes he'll let you go right away, but other times he'll put up a fight and smirk before putting some weight on you, trapping you with him until you pay the toll to escape.
The toll is always a kiss or sometimes two; Though lately he keeps raising the price...
✦ Hunter ✦
Hunter admittedly takes a decent while before he's willing to be affectionate to the degree of cuddling.
He has to get using to being with someone in such a vulnerable state, and train himself out of bad habits that tell him to keep these types of things to himself, and people at arms length.
But you're nothing if not persistent, (while also being patient and understanding of course) and after a few times of falling asleep on his shoulder or inviting him to spend the night at your home, he eventually gets his inner thoughts sorted out and allows himself to indulge.
Once he's more comfortable, Hunter is always the big spoon. Tugging the covers almost and sometimes completely overtop of the both of you, Hunter will wrap his arms around your waist and tug close enough that his face presses against the back of your head.
It almost feels like a little cocoon or nest in a way, and even if you don't normally sleep like this, you have to admit it's very comfortable. (Though maybe having Hunter as part of the equation helps just a bit.)
As he's getting more sleepy he'll always take a deep breath and sigh, your hair brushing against his skin. He once tried to explain it to you once; That your familiar scent being so close meant that you were safe and he could relax. That with you in his arms, he could loosen his shoulders and close his eyes, knowing you were right here and unharmed.
Hunter always hates the way he eventually has to drag himself from the little pocket of warmth beneath the blankets you both created, but he at least got a good night's rest.
When he can't have you close by however, he absolutely has something that serves your place usually while deployed on The Marauder.
For awhile it was one of your nightshirts, and another time it was a small blanket you'd use to drape over your legs when it was cold. They both smell like you, and with his senses it helps him get to sleep that little bit faster when you aren't right there.
✦ Tech ✦
Tech often falls asleep in places he shouldn’t, and most times you end up having to herd him back towards his bunk in order to get him to sleep properly.
If and when he does lay down he’s almost always on his back, leaving an arm away from his body so you can tuck against his side.
It was a bit awkward for him at first; He felt like he needed to figure the 'right' way to do sleep in the same bed together or hold you. He ended up taking your comfort as him doing it 'right' enough however, and quickly embraced his new sleeping habits.
If he doesn't instantly pass out he’ll usually tinker or read something, sometimes out loud; As once you'd asked him to, eager to listen and him eager to share. It also helps that Tech's voice is extremely consistent and soothing, and more often than not can lull you to sleep faster than anything else can.
Recently however, you’ve been trying to read to him as well. He had given you his datapad with something pulled up and quietly asked if you would; Saying he wanted to continue reading, but his head hurt too much to stare at the screen for any longer. But Tech can't leave things unfinished, even if for a few hours.
He seemed almost surprised when you had said yes, every now and again glancing over to see his eyes closed with goggles off while you read on to the next sentence.
Now almost every time you're both pressed side to side, with Tech always having an arm around you as you or him partake in some pre-sleep winding down.
Sometimes you might stutter or find the topic he's chosen a bit boring, but he seems to really enjoy it, listening to you repeat sentences of borderline incomprehensible technological theorycrafting while you wiggle deeper into the hold his arm has around your shoulders. Your cuddles and sleeping habits are a consistent, well oiled machine, which always end with a goodnight kiss.
(Meanwhile, Hunter is cursing his hearing. Please put down the datapad it's been over an hour and you're both still mumbling about software constraints and he is suffering.)
✦ Echo ✦
Echo has always had trouble sleeping, especially before you’d arrived in his life. Though even if he does, and it's obvious, it takes more than a little while for him to allow himself to show he is troubled by it.
So it ends up taking a little while before you get to the point of cuddling up, and even then, you can feel Echo is a little stiff and awkward. It wasn't bad when you sit in the same seat as him, just laying your legs over his so your weight doesn't weigh down his legs, but now that your limbs are all tangled up, it's a bit more obvious.
He admits that he worries his cybernetics make him uncomfortable for you to lay with, and that maybe it isn't the best idea. He doesn't want to hurt you, he says, illuding to you waking up with dents on your skin from where your leg laid against his.
But you wake up with dents in your skin from your clothes or your leg falling off the side of your bed or the bunks in The Marauder, you're not going to let something so silly prevent you from waking up with him beside you.
Speaking of Echo's cybernetics they often make him run a bit colder than the average person, but you have zero complaints. Especially if you're on a hot planet like Tatooine...
It also means you better have more than one blanket, as he'll probably end up stealing it while he sleeps. You're all snuggled against his chest with his chin on your head, until suddenly your back feels cold; The blanket having been pulled away.
There's also been a few times that he's teasingly put a cold piece of metal against your skin under the blankets and made you almost squeal, but bringing that up always makes him feign innocence.
But most of all, he loves waking up before you, and enjoy the feeling of going back to sleep with you again. Sometimes he'll sneak a little kiss but it oftentimes it ends up waking you up, but you don't mind.
✦ Crosshair ✦
Crosshair often sleeps partly leaning up, even if you lament about how that would destroy your back if you ever tried it.
Part of it is always wanting to be alert and ready to go if anything happens, and sometimes he simply passes out while working on something (his rifle, usually).
When you end up joining him in his own bunk instead of your own, for the first while he continues the habit, feeling as you lay close to him with your head by his waist.
He pretends to not be fond of the affection- as he always does- though he never actually puts his foot down. He continues to let you awkwardly sleep on him, until he finally relents to start laying on his back and you throw an arm over his stomach.
He'll throw his arm over his eyes and fall asleep, and even he can't deny that when he wakes up, he feels a little better than usual.
The sniper is absolutely a heat leech, and he- embarrassingly so to him, gets particularly cuddly when he's cold. He runs chilly, and he doesn't say it, but he really enjoys having someone keeping the little pocket of air underneath the one thin blanket he has warm because his body can't seem to do so itself...
He's far more open to this sort of affection when you're alone, like in your home per say, but if you're on The Marauder, he doesn't mind too much if you sneak into his bunk. He'll give you a little side eye, but it's more amused than anything.
It's not gotten to the point that if you for some reason don't instantly join him as you usually do, Crosshair will end up getting almost frustrated, and you'll be able to feel the heat on your back.
Sometimes you'll wake up randomly almost feeling like he's brushing your hair out of your face or touching your forehead, but he always denies doing such a thing with a scoff if you sleepily roll over and ask.
This is our home, a world of our own!
Time for another Infinity Runs excerpt because I have no self control and need validation. Context: we just met this cool family of a tired dad Ezra and cool thirteen year old brother Collin and rambunctious eight year old Fiona.
When the girl, Fiona, was a few branches from the ground, she locked eyes with Collin and grinned, showing a gap where her front teeth should be. Without thought, the girl let go of the rope and screeched happily.
Non was about to step forward when Collin smiled, already in motion to catch his sister as she fell towards the ground. She collapsed into his arms with a peal of laughter.
“What an entrance,” Ezra chuckled. He moved to take Fiona from Collin’s arms and twirl her around. “How’s my little bear doing?”
She wiggled happily in his arms.
“Good!” Her eyes grew huge, “I saw a huge deer pass under me earlier. It was taller than you, daddy!”
Ezra smiled and pressed a kiss to her forehead. “Too big to eat then?”
She nodded, a furrow to her brow as she considered eating the deer, her lips pursed in a serious expression. “Way too big. It would take years.”
“Good call,” Ezra said solemnly, and Collin looked to be stifling a laugh. “Alright, little bear, can I introduce you to someone new? She’s here to help us.”
Tag list! @googolplexicon let me know if anybody wants to be added or removed!

my inbox and twitter both informed me that not only does International Hyena Day exist, but that it’s today! I couldn’t let this important occasion go by without drawing something, and I finished this just in time with only an hour to spare. Happy special day to these four special creatures.
(from left to right: brown hyena, striped hyena, spotted hyena, aardwolf)
(it’s also apparently World Tapir Day! Another special animal. But I ran out of drawin’ juice and out of time. I’m so sorry, tapirs. I still love you, I promise)
