Some TBB s3 trailer reactions/thoughts

If you follow me on twitter/IG you probably saw these already

First of all, FEBRUARY 21???? SO SOON. I'M NOT READY TO SAY GOODBYE WHEN IT ENDS AAAA

Secondly, CROSSHAIR. They kept Crosshair's old armor, even as they had to lose and repurpose and probably sell parts of their own kits while surviving.. they kept his armor intact NOBODY TOUCH ME.

As I thought, it seems Hunter and co will reunite with Omega and Cross in the premiere. This isn't surprising bc I couldn't imagine Omega being in captivity for long, she is the central kid character and has to be in the thick of all their adventures.

Re: Tech. I know in my heart that Tech is alive but tbh I'm one of the few people who doesn't want the brainwashed Imperial Tech plotline bc it feels redundant at this point, we already had Echo and Cross as victim of experiments/brainwashing.

Mostly I'm just tired of seeing clone characters getting stripped of their agency to a ridiculous degree when it's not necessary for their character development at all, at some point it starts to feel like angst for angst's sake bad fanfiction style. I just want to see him being his capable self, not another victim in distress.. Combined with how a portion of this fandom has a tendency to infantilize him, I'm feeling some level of trepidation if Imp!Tech is indeed where this is going. But I ofc will take any scenario where he is alive > any scenario where he is dead. The family must be complete :< So while I have my reservations, I'm totally open to seeing whatever they have cooked up and reserve all judgement until I get to experience the story as it's told. I'm just cautious about this particular possibility bc I keep seeing fandom folk clamouring for it. As for THAT character cameo... God I so wish this means that godawful book was yeeted from the canon once and for all. This is a Dark Disciple hater household, sorry to those who liked it for whatever reason. I have nothing against Vos as his own character, but Ventress didn't deserve an ending THAT shitty so please keep her away from that bullshit.. please.. I'm so happy to see her again ;_; and I'm so happy that the big cameo wasn't Ahsoka lmao I would've thrown something. Anyway aGHHH I'm overflowing with emotion rn I love that show sm!! *cracks knuckles* opens up a folder of wips from almost a year ago titled "Crosshugs"

UPD. So apparently DD is still canon. So let me get this right.. TBB s3 is supposedly aligned with DD being kept canon.. but DD takes place before order 66?? Does it mean that Asajj faked her death to get the jedi to leave her alone lmao literally being "the reports of my death were greatly exaggerated". I get it girl I would've faked my death too to get out of a toxic relationship.

The Bad Batch Ep S2 Ep 11 - Thoughts & Spoilers

Spoilers,

So everything's beneath the cut!

I know with the Mando S3 premiere, this episode may have gotten even less attention than the rest of the show. BUT this episode had some incredible things, so here are *some* of my thoughts.

FIRST:

HIM!!!!! and he was NAMED and had LINES!!!!

This is super exciting, because while we glimpsed Scorch in Season 1 while they were rescuing Gregor, I don't think he was mentioned anywhere by name, meaning it could have just been a random other RC with similar paint.

Delta Squad (from Legends) was technically canonized when they cameo'd in the Clone Wars, but it's so nice to see them again! It makes me pray that the other 3 members have escaped and are with Rex, because Scorch is *definitely* still super chipped....

Next, the MAIN thing I was super excited about:

So many things in this episode made me absolutely SCREAM, but the main one was probably FINALLY some movement on the connection between Nala Se and Omega. That's something I've been dying for more elaboration on since S1.

Omega is clearly a kid created for a specific reason, raised under specific circumstances, who has a unique bond with Nala Se, the primary creator of all clones. I was sure this would be part of the central storyline of TBB so I'm SO GLAD we're finally getting to it.

The thing is, Omega clearly has very complex feelings towards Nala Se, and Nala Se also considers Omega "special." SUPER curious to see where they go with this, especially since Nala Se seems to be reluctant to help the Empire. Understandable, given the destruction of Tipoca City, but she also never struck me as the sentimental type. I'm personally very wary of the "care" Nala Se seems to be showing Omega, and based on what we currently know, doubt that she means it sincerely—Omega (or her DNA) is likely valuable in some way.

Not sure how I'll react if they paint Nala Se as a sympathetic character, because I doubt I'll ever forgive her for what she did to Fives. Her treatment of Fives, which is also indicative of her treatment of all other clones. Her being kind(?) to Omega doesn't erase that.

I am absolutely confident that this lab and Nala Se/Omega is part of a plot that will connect to the experiments done to Grogu, which in turn will connect to Snoke + the return of Sidious in the ST. That's the running thread, to provide explanation/justification for that "twist."

While I think TBB is fun, THIS is what I personally was waiting for—Omega's true identity and why she's of value to Nala Se, how she therefore fits into the greater plan Nala Se had, and how that in turn affects not just Fett clones, but all the cloning that runs throughout SW.

I also LOVED that Omega showed her skills here—yes, she DOES know her way around Kaminoan tech!! The only time we've really seen it before is when Cad Bane kidnapped her + the S1 finale. She was Nala Se's personal MEDICAL ASSISTANT. She is older than the Batch! She KNOWS things!!

I was genuinely expecting (hoping) to learn more about Omega throughout the entire show, and we do see her being skilled + confident around various tools, but that's around it. I hope her past that she doesn't want to talk about is dragged out into the open in these last few eps.

I have a LOT of theories about Omega's past and her connection to the Batch and their origins (pst it's all in my fic), some of which will likely no longer be canon compliant, but ah well!

Other things that really made me happy:

-The Batch showing some growth due to the last episode, and growing a spine to stand up against Cid. Both pointing out that she didn't help them like they've helped her, and demanding a higher cut, though she did get the final say in the end. It was still a massive improvement!

-The ZILLO BEAST. First of all, it was definitely one of the coolest creatures in TCW, so it was super exciting to see it brought back! Its physiology is fascinating, and I loved how we got to see it visibly grow due to it feeding on electricity. This is actually the second creature we've encountered in TBB that seems to like electricity as an energy source, the first being in S1. It's neat to see this pattern, perhaps they're distantly related species?

I also LOVED that it tied into more experiments. I need to rewatch the eps, but i think it was implied in TCW that Palps was interested in the Zillo beast's armor, so I loved seeing that actually followed up on!

In general, I'm just a huge fan when world building plot points connect or are followed up on to build continuity and a greater view of the SW universe, and this episode definitely connected a bunch of points, so that was awesome!

Anyway, only 5 eps left of S2, excited to see where it goes!

Bryn (Jedi OC) x Obi-wan Kenobi

So Bryn, my Jedi oc, is in a poly relationship with both Hunter and Obi-wan (fully consensual, and codywan is also cannon in my oc au, no clonecest). This is an amazing character workup, in combination with TBB S3 premier, it really got my writing flow going!

I originally found this character question sheet by a reblog from @anxiouspineapple99 months ago - go check out their work, it’s incredible! See the og character question post by @shiny-self-shipping here.

See the post about Bryn and Hunter's dynamic here!

Who makes the other blush all the time and who finds it adorable?

Bryn makes Obi-wan blush more

Who sings in the shower?

They both do, but Bryn does so in a quieter voice, Obi-wan belts with his whole chest in the 'fresher.

What would their song to each other be?

From Bryn to Obi-wan: Happy Accidents by Saint Motel

From Obi-wan to Bryn: Like Real People Do by Hozier

Who embarrasses the other in public with kisses and pet names?

Not that they can be super openly affectionate, Obi-wan is the flirt master of the Jedi Order, so he is a little more touchy than Bryn in public (a hand on the small of her back, a quick shoulder pat/rub, fixing her hair, wiping something off her cheek). And of course he calls her 'my darling,' people who know them turn a blind eye or assume it's just their long-standing relationship as working Jedi and Obi-wan's innate flirtiness.

Who curses, and who reprimands the other for it?

Bryn uses true swears more (kark, kriff, etc.) Obi-wan uses more moderated swears (blast, etc.) Neither really reprimands about it.

What small quirks do they love about each other?

Bryn was always forgetting/losing her comm device. Eventually when the Clone Wars started, Obi-wan got her a conducting headset so she would literally be wearing her comm and couldn't lose it as easily. Obi-wan always leaves his tea mugs laying around half-finished, and he never uses a coaster (it's tea rings everywhere, but Bryn loves it)

Who makes the other laugh more?

Bryn makes Obi-wan laugh more during daily life with little to no effort. Obi-wan makes Bryn laugh more through intentional actions when he can tell she needs a distraction/pick me up.

Who gets jealous easier?

Neither really get jealous. They are both secure in their relationship to one another and are highly dedicated to their duties as Jedi. Bryn and Obi-wan also encouraged poly relationships with Cody and Hunter. Maybe Obi-wan gets jealous because Anakin listens to Bryn only a little bit more than him?

How did they know they were right for each other?

They came to the temple as younglings at the same time and basically grew up together. They always had an innate bond where they could sense how the other was feeling. They have a long history of working missions together and when Obi-wan admitted his feelings for Bryn (Freudian slip when they were protecting Duchess Satine), Bryn realized she felt the same. They both know duty comes first, but each other is a close second.

Who brings up the subject of kids first?

Kids were never on the table. That doesn't happen for Jedi. They do consider Anakin their child in a way, since Bryn (in my au) was the one to discover Anakin while she was with Obi-wan and Qui-gon rescuing Queen Amidala. Qui-gon was originally going to give Bryn Anakin as a youngling, but when he died, the Council ruled Obi-wan would take him since Qui-gon was the only Jedi Master present at Anakin's discovery and Obi-wan was Qui-gon's successor.

Who's adorable when they're sleepy, and who gets grumpy and irritable?

Obi-wan isn't super cuddly in his sleep, but he is very touchy in the morning and refuses to get out of bed (not a morning person) He'll be grumpy until he gets at least one cup of tea before 0500. Bryn is moreso cuddly before bed/during the night, but she won't mind a few morning cuddles before bringing Obi-wan his tea and getting a strong cup of kaf for herself.

Who's more protective?

Neither is super protective, they know each other can handle themselves. Bryn perhaps worries about Obi-wan more since he has Anakin to worry about.

How do they express their feelings (Words, visual art, a song, etc.)?

They have an inside joke that started when Bryn came to help Obi-wan and Qui-gon rescue Queen Amidala. When Bryn left to go into Mos Eisley, Obi-wan gave her a single Republic Credit and asked for a souvenir. "It doesn't matter what it is so long as it's you that brings it back." Bryn never got a sourvenir, but instead gave Obi-wan the credit back when they parted ways and asked for a souvenir. They continued the tradition, handing the same credit off, but sometimes there will be a little trinket from whatever world they were off on too.

Where would they go on a 3am adventure?

They are both animal lovers. They'll often sneak away to stroll through the temple stables or the base kennels to dote on the animals.

Who has a hobby only the other knows about?

Obi-wan is actually fairly talented with crochet. He originally picked it up because he rescued a loth kitten that was half frozen to death and he made it a little blanket (it was super lumpy and misshapen) but now he'll crochet little beanies for the tubie clones, or blankets for Jedi younglings, or meditation mats/pillows. It's a very meditative practice for him and the tactile feel of the yarn is grounding for him.

Bryn is extremely gifted with accents and impressions. She has put on accents for undercover assignments, but only Obi-wan has heard her impressions. She did it one night randomly after Obi-wan had a bad day and her impression of an exchange between Commander Fox and the Chancellor had him crying from laughter.

How do they hype each other up?

They'll make sarcastic jabs at each other either before or after debriefing meetings, or even on-mission to break the tension/pressure that comes with being a Jedi General. It reminds them to not be so hard on themselves in the most serious time of their lives. If the receiver makes a jab back, then the instigator knows they're okay, if not, then that's a cue for a private check-in later.

Who picks flowers for the other?

Obi-wan picks the flowers (he has no idea what species they are) and gives them to her as a game. Bryn identifies them (a niche interest of hers) she is never wrong.

Which one wears the "I'm with stupid" t-shirt?

Obi-wan, but only because Bryn gave it to him to wear around Anakin.

Who's the better dancer?

Surprisingly, (perhaps not) Obi-wan. Bryn can hold her own, both in lively dancing at 79's and in a ballroom, but Obi-wan is shockingly light on his feet and a master of hip grinding.

Who infodumps and who listens with heart eyes?

Obi-wan infodumps about the weirdest things, Bryn listens and laughs along at how passionate he gets about different topics. Obi-wan is definitely a war history buff and the galaxy has had a lot of war so the info never ends.

This week has been a week of glorious content for me. First the Borderlands movie trailer drops. I'm....going in with relatively low expectations in hopes it will surpass them. Why yes, I am UNREASONABLY salty and pissy there are no Brick or Mordecai to be seen. Like...so unreasonably salty. I'm happy to have Krieg and Tiny Tina involved, don't get me wrong but come on.

TBB S3 came out which I know is a point of contention among fans and some people hate it. I'm kinda mid on the series except for the relevant crumbs which make me absolutely feral and unhinged.

And now Avatar: the Last Airbenders had premiered. I did not expect Netflix to drop the entire show in one go, I thought they might string it out for viewership hype. I watched the first episode and wellllll...they have kinda accepted their audience is definitely going to be adults and late teens and this is NOT a kids show anymore. Eeeesh I love how kinda highkey terrifying bending is in this show. Firebending is very flashy and scary in close combat but the glimpse we got of Earthbending? Yikes. I'm really enjoying it thus far but I'm only one episode in.

There is also the Halo series which....I will eventually get around to watching. The first season was such a slap in the fucking face to fans that I'm still kinda grumpy and pissy over it. Even if it sounds like they are backpedaling a lot of what they did in season 1. So that's on my list.

I also rewatched Peacemaker this week and had a blast with it. I'm sad we're going to have to wait another year for season 2.

Now, a part of me wants to watch episode 2 of Avatar but another part of me thinks I should buckle down and work on Seeds. We'll see whether the angel or the devil on my shoulder wins out.

.....I also now have the Peacemaker opening song in my head. Fuck my life. L M A O

#el watches so much stuff #it's been a content goldmine for me this week #spoiler free musing
