Some Hunter & Crosshair sketches

“that character is a war criminal” that character is from a fictional fantasy world and did not attend the geneva convention

If you’re still taking heart prompts, maybe 💖 or 🧡 for HunTech?

I needed some Huntech Therapy, so everyone gets Huntech therapy today! I went with the Orange Heart, because they deserve something slow and soft once in a while.

Thunder rumbled outside and the sky was so dark that for a brief moment Tech thought that it was still night. He fumbled for the goggles on his nightstand, only barely missing the cup of water that sat beside them, and then pulled his datapad out from the drawer. As he suspected the previous night, a storm had brewed over the ocean overnight, and judging from the way the radar blinked across the screen compared to the rain pelting the windows on the side of the house, it was a nasty one. On days like this, when the wind carried the rain like tiny whips through the air, Pabu thought it best to keep the kids in their homes, a notion that seemed silly to him, given that he and the rest of his squad had grown up in the Tipoca City, the realm of perpetual rain, but even he had grown to like the idea of staying inside when the weather was unfavorable for productivity. Though, he imagined that Mayday was likely up already to make sure every single one of his plants got the moisture that he needed. Upon having met him, he wouldn’t have pegged him as a man who had a green thumb, but he had proved to have a natural skill for flora and fauna, and his garden, and his garden was slowly becoming an integral piece of Pabu’s agriculture.  He sent a quick message to Omega’s datapad. T: “There is no school today due to the weather. Go back to sleep after you have let Batcher out and take care not to let her get mud on the floor again.”

Checking the time, Tech realized he had a little more than an hour before she would wake up and see the message, so he didn’t bother waiting for a reply before setting his datapad aside again. On his right, Hunter was stirring, likely because he could sense the torrential rainfall on the roof, and Tech slid back under the covers in time for him to roll over and press his face into his chest. “Time?” he asked, voice still heavily weighted with sleep. “It is nearly 0600. You can go back to sleep,” Tech informed. At first, Hunter nodded, and Tech thought that from the way he’d nuzzled into him that would be the end of the conversation, but something must have clicked in Hunter’s mind, because he lifted his head and eyed him curiously. “Why are you awake?” “For the same reason that you are, I imagine,” he replied. “I heard the storm, so I checked to see if Omega’s school would be cancelled for today, and it is. I told her to go back to bed after letting Batcher out.” Hunter hummed, pleased that the day had bought him extra time to keep Tech in bed. During the war, and even in the earlier days of the Empire, Hunter had been an up and at ‘em kind of guy. Now, living in peace amongst his brothers and starting a life away from war and battles, Hunter had become someone who did not like to have sleep stripped from him, and rather preferred to have a cuddle buddy. Many times, Batcher would lay with him, or on increasingly more rare occasions, Omega would fall asleep in his arms, but his favorite partner would always be the man right here in bed with him. After a long, full body stretch, Hunter immediately curled back into him and tipped his head back to steal a sleepy kiss from Tech’s lips, one that Tech happily returned in kind. Admittedly, there was a bit of heat to it. The way Hunter was pressed to his side gave Tech the advantage of rolling on top of him to make him shiver and gasp or allow Hunter to consume him and drown in the comforting warmth of his body. However, by the time he had run through his options their kisses had slowed to something far less motivated and much sloppier as sleep started to take over again. He made a small whine in the back of his throat, one that Hunter tried to swallow, but ended up echoing instead. “Later,” he murmured with a rasp. “I’ll make it so good for us.” “I know you will,” Tech agreed as he sunk back into the pillows. “Later.” They kissed, then kissed again, not quite connecting anymore, but now their minds were filled with what would come the next time they woke. Tech adjusted until Hunter’s head fell just right, tucked under his chin, and he pressed his nose to the soft scent of florals from yesterday’s shampoo and brushed his fingers through thick brown strands of hair. Mixed with the sound of the rain, it was the perfect recipe for falling back into slumber. “Hey,” Hunter rumbled after a moment. Tech hummed in reply. “What is it?” A huff of breath hit his neck and he felt Hunter inhale again, then exhaled slower, more evenly and content. “Love you.” “And I, you,” Tech murmured into his hair and kissed the top of his head. Maybe there was something to Mother Nature interfering with life once in a while.

ID: six screenshots from Ralph Bakshi's "The Lord of the Rings," featuring the wizard gandalf. His beard has been shortened to reveal large breasts, complimented by a teal-colored dress with a low neckline. From the first to fifth image, in order, he is shown talking with Frodo Baggins, descending a staircase, holding the One Ring, smiling neutrally, and wielding a sword and his staff. In the last image, he is throwing off his grey robes, revealing a white robe over a lacey bralette and long white skirt. End ID.

I cannot get over how much this one scene informs us of Tech's priorities, personality, and how much he cares about his squad.

THE SCENE: "Replacements," season 1 episode 3; the Marauder is in dire need of repairs

This scene is often played for laughs (and let's be real, it IS hilarious). There's Tech, completely ignoring Echo's not-so-subtle hints to help fix the ship, instead prioritizing tinkering with his gadgets because his definition of "critical systems" is apparently vastly different than others'. Result? The ship crashes.

But... Tech is RIGHT to be concerned about the chips.

He has been warning his brothers about the chips since Order 66, multiple times throughout "Aftermath" and "Cut and Run."

2. He suspected Crosshair was susceptible to the effects of the chip early on.

3. He saw firsthand the friction caused between Crosshair and the rest of the squad due to the chip, with the ultimate result that Crosshair attacked the squad and shot Wrecker.

OF COURSE he is going to prioritize creating a device that will test the functionality of their own chips - and I think he has two reasons for this.

First: Prevent further catastrophe by making sure no one else on the squad is at imminent risk of acting out like Crosshair did.

Can you imagine what could happen if anyone else became susceptible to the chip's effects? (Oh yeah, we can: we see exactly what happens with Wrecker on Bracca.) Tech's not losing another family member the way he just lost Crosshair.

Second: Support his theory that Crosshair's actions ARE a result of the chip. (Omega talked to Crosshair about this (in a roundabout way) in the brig, but it's Tech who mentions this possibility to the squad.)

And if they can find a reason, a solid explanation, for why Crosshair has turned on them, maybe they can find a way to help him.

Tech is logical and rational. He understands people by analyzing them, finding reasons to explain their motives and actions; and by understanding them, he can come up with a plan to fix the situation. And that's exactly what he's doing here: by proving his theories about the inhibitor chips, he can better help his family.

So, as much as I still laugh over Tech's nonchalant "We're fine" as they're LITERALLY CRASHING, I also find it so dang heartwarming and sweet that Tech was SO focused on saving his team in other, equally crucial ways ❤️

"Tech"

I tried making something simple but pretty. Sorry, I am having SUCH a rough time IRL. I didn't have much time to paint this past week. However, I do have planned two larger pieces for the up coming weeks. Hope you like! Happy Bad Batch Eve!

After The Fall

I'm still cautiously optimistic that Tech is alive and that he's CX-2.
